2 Samuel 4
1 And the son of Saul heareth that Abner [is] dead in Hebron, and his hands are feeble, and all Israel have been troubled.
Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Ishi-Boshethu mũrũ wa Saũlũ aaiguire atĩ Abineri nĩakuĩrĩire kũu Hebironi-rĩ, akĩũrwo nĩ hinya, nao andũ othe a Isiraeli makĩmaka.
2 And two men, heads of troops, have been [to] the son of Saul, the name of the one [is] Baanah, and the name of the second Rechab, sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the sons of Benjamin, for also Beeroth is reckoned to Benjamin,
Nake mũrũ wa Saũlũ aarĩ na andũ eerĩ arĩa maarĩ atongoria a ikundi cia gũtharĩkanĩra. Ũmwe eetagwo Baana na ũcio ũngĩ Rekabu; maarĩ ariũ a Rimoni ũrĩa Mũbeerothi wa mũhĩrĩga wa Benjamini; Beerothu gũtaragwo ta gĩcunjĩ kĩa Benjamini,
3 and the Beerothites flee to Gittaim, and are there sojourners unto this day.
tondũ andũ a Beerothu nĩmoorĩire Gitaimu na matũũrĩte kuo ta andũ a kũngĩ nginyagia ũmũthĩ.
4 And to Jonathan son of Saul [is] a son — lame; he was a son of five years at the coming in of the rumour of [the death of] Saul and Jonathan, out of Jezreel, and his nurse lifteth him up, and fleeth, and it cometh to pass in her hasting to flee, that he falleth, and becometh lame, and his name [is] Mephibosheth.
(Jonathani mũrũ wa Saũlũ aarĩ na mũriũ wonjete magũrũ meerĩ. Aarĩ na ũkũrũ wa mĩaka ĩtano rĩrĩa ũhoro wa Saũlũ na Jonathani wamakinyĩire kuuma Jezireeli. Nake mũreri wake akĩmũkuua, akĩũra; no rĩrĩa aahiũhĩte akĩũra-rĩ, mwana ũcio akĩgũa agĩtuĩka kĩonje. Rĩĩtwa rĩake rĩarĩ Mefiboshethu.)
5 And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, go, and come in at the heat of the day unto the house of Ish-Bosheth, and he is lying down — the lying down of noon;
Nake Rekabu na Baana, ariũ a Rimoni ũrĩa Mũbeerothi, magĩthiĩ marorete nyũmba-inĩ ya Ishi-Boshethu, na magĩkinya kuo rĩrĩa gũkoragwo kũrĩ ũrugarĩ mũthenya, rĩrĩa aahurũkĩte mĩaraho.
6 and thither they have come, unto the midst of the house, taking wheat, and they smite him unto the fifth [rib], and Rechab and Baanah his brother have escaped;
Nao makĩingĩra nyũmba ya thĩinĩ metuĩte ta meendaga gũkuua ngano, makĩmũtheeca nda. Nake Rekabu na mũrũ wa nyina Baana makĩũra.
7 yea, they come in to the house, and he is lying on his bed, in the inner part of his bed-chamber, and they smite him, and put him to death, and turn aside his head, and they take his head, and go the way of the plain all the night,
Maingĩrire nyũmba hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aakomete gĩtanda-inĩ nyũmba yake ya toro. Maarĩkia kũmũtheeca na kũmũũraga, magĩtinia mũtwe wake. Makĩũkuua, magĩthiĩ ũtukũ wothe magerete njĩra ya Araba.
8 and bring in the head of Ish-Bosheth unto David in Hebron, and say unto the king, 'Lo, the head of Ish-Bosheth, son of Saul, thine enemy, who sought thy life; and Jehovah doth give to my lord the king vengeance this day, of Saul and of his seed.'
Magĩtwarĩra Daudi mũtwe wa Ishi-Boshethu kũu Hebironi, makĩĩra mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “Ĩ ũyũ mũtwe wa Ishi-Boshethu mũrũ wa Saũlũ, thũ yaku, ũrĩa wageragia gũkũũraga. Ũmũthĩ nĩguo Jehova arĩhĩria mwathi wakwa mũthamaki gwĩ Saũlũ na rũciaro rwake.”
9 And David answereth Rechab and Baanah his brother, sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and saith to them, 'Jehovah liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
Nake Daudi agĩcookeria Rekabu na Baana, mũrũ wa nyina, ariũ a Rimoni ũrĩa Mũbeerothi atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa Jehova atũũraga muoyo, ũrĩa ũhonoketie kuuma mathĩĩna-inĩ mothe,
10 when one is declaring to me, saying, Lo, Saul is dead, and he was as a bearer of tidings in his own eyes, then I take hold on him, and slay him in Ziklag, instead of my giving to him [for] the tidings.
rĩrĩa mũndũ aanjĩĩrire atĩrĩ, ‘Saũlũ nĩakuĩte’, agĩĩciiria atĩ nĩ ũhoro mwega andehera, ndamũnyiitire ngĩmũũragĩra kũu Zikilagi. Kĩu nĩkĩo kĩheo kĩrĩa ndamũheire nĩ ũndũ wa ndũmĩrĩri ĩyo yake!
11 Also — when wicked men have slain the righteous man in his own house, on his bed; and now, do not I require his blood of your hand, and have taken you away from the earth?'
Akĩrĩ makĩria atĩa, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa andũ aaganu moragĩte mũndũ ũtarĩ na ihĩtia thĩinĩ wa nyũmba yake akomete ũrĩrĩ-inĩ wake, githĩ ndiagĩrĩirwo nĩ gwĩtia thakame yake kuuma moko-inĩ manyu na ndĩmweherie muume thĩ!”
12 And David commandeth the young men, and they slay them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hang [them] over the pool in Hebron, and the head of Ish-Bosheth they have taken, and bury [it] in the burying-place of Abner in Hebron.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Daudi agĩatha andũ ake, nao makĩmooraga. Makĩmatinia moko na magũrũ, na magĩcuuria mĩĩrĩ yao hau karia-inĩ kũu Hebironi. No rĩrĩ, makĩoya mũtwe wa Ishi-Boshethu na makĩũthika mbĩrĩra-inĩ ya Abineri kũu Hebironi.
