1 Forsothe Isbosech, the sone of Saul, herde that Abner hadde falde doun in Ebron; and `hise hondis weren discoumfortid, and al Israel was disturblid.
扫罗的儿子伊施波设听见押尼珥死在希伯 ,手就发软;以色列众人也都惊惶。
2 Forsothe twei men, princes of theues, weren to the sone of Saul; name to oon was Baana, and name to the tother was Rechab, the sones of Remmon Berothite, of the sones of Beniamyn; for also Beroth is arettid in Beniamyn.
扫罗的儿子伊施波设有两个军长,一名巴拿,一名利甲,是便雅悯支派、比录人临门的儿子。比录也属便雅悯。
3 And men of Beroth fledden in to Gethaym; and thei weren comelyngis there `til to that tyme.
比录人早先逃到基他音,在那里寄居,直到今日。
4 Forsothe a sone feble in feet was to Jonathas, the sone of Saul; forsothe he was fyue yeer eld, whanne the messanger cam fro Saul and Jonathas, fro Jezrael. Therfor his nurse took hym, and fledde; and whanne sche hastide to fle, sche felde doun, and the child was maad lame; and `he hadde a name Myphibosech.
扫罗的儿子约拿单有一个儿子名叫米非波设,是瘸腿的。扫罗和约拿单死亡的消息从耶斯列传到的时候,他才五岁。他乳母抱着他逃跑;因为跑得太急,孩子掉在地上,腿就瘸了。
5 Therfor Rechab and Baana, sones of Remmon of Beroth, camen, and entriden in the hoot dai in to the hows of Isbosech, that slepte on his bed in myd dai, `and the womman oischer of the hous clensynge wheete, slepte strongli.
一日,比录人临门的两个儿子利甲和巴拿出去,约在午热的时候到了伊施波设的家;伊施波设正睡午觉。
6 Forsothe thei entriden into the hows pryueli, and token eeris of whete; and Rechab, and Baana, his brother, smytiden Isbosech in the schar, and fledden.
他们进了房子,假作要取麦子,就刺透伊施波设的肚腹,逃跑了。
7 Sotheli whanne thei hadden entrid in to the hous, he slepte on his bedde in a closet; and thei smytiden and killiden hym; and whanne `his heed was takun, thei yeden bi the weie of deseert in al the nyyt.
他们进房子的时候,伊施波设正在卧房里躺在床上,他们将他杀死,割了他的首级,拿着首级在亚拉巴走了一夜,
8 And thei brouyten the heed of Isbosech to Dauid, in Ebron, and thei seiden to the kyng, Lo! the heed of Isbosech, sone of Saul, thin enemy, that souyte thi lijf; and the Lord yaf to dai to oure lord the kyng veniaunce of Saul and of his seed.
将伊施波设的首级拿到希伯 见大卫王,说:“王的仇敌扫罗曾寻索王的性命。看哪,这是他儿子伊施波设的首级;耶和华今日为我主我王在扫罗和他后裔的身上报了仇。”
9 Forsothe Dauid answeride to Rechab, and Baana, his brother, the sones of Remmon of Beroth, and seide to hem, The Lord lyueth, that delyueride my lijf fro al angwisch;
大卫对比录人临门的儿子利甲和他兄弟巴拿说:“我指着救我性命脱离一切苦难、永生的耶和华起誓:
10 for Y helde hym that telde to me, and seide, Saul is deed, which man gesside hym silf to telle prosperitees, and Y killide hym in Sichelech, to whom it bihofte me yyue meede for message;
从前有人报告我说,扫罗死了,他自以为报好消息;我就拿住他,将他杀在洗革拉,这就作了他报消息的赏赐。
11 hou myche more now, whanne wickid men han slayn a giltles man in his hows on his bed, schal I not seke his blood of youre hond, and schal Y do awey you fro erthe?
何况恶人将义人杀在他的床上,我岂不向你们讨流他血的罪、从世上除灭你们呢?”
12 Therfor Dauid comaundide to his children, and thei killiden hem; and thei kittiden awei the hondis and `feet of hem, and hangiden hem ouer the cisterne in Ebron. Forsothe thei token the heed of Isbosech, and birieden in the sepulcre of Abner, in Ebron.
于是大卫吩咐少年人将他们杀了,砍断他们的手脚,挂在希伯 的池旁,却将伊施波设的首级葬在希伯 、押尼珥的坟墓里。
