2 Sama’ila 4
1 Sa’ad da Ish-Boshet ya ji labari cewa Abner ya mutu a Hebron, sai ya karaya, sai dukan hankalin Isra’ila ya tashi.
And Isboseth the son of Saul heard that Abner was slain in Hebron: and his hands were weakened, and all Israel was troubled.
2 To, ɗan Shawulu yana da’ya’ya maza biyu da suke shugabannin’yan hari. Ana kiran ɗaya Ba’ana, ɗayan kuma Rekab. Su’ya’yan Rimmon mutumin Benyamin ne daga Beyerot, an lissafta Beyerot a ɓangaren Benyamin,
Now the son of Saul had two men captains of his bands, the name of the one was Baana, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Remmon a Berothite of the children of Benjamin: for Beroth also was reckoned in Benjamin.
3 domin mutanen Beyerot sun gudu zuwa Gittayim inda suke zaman baƙunci har wa yau.
And the Berothites fled into Gethaim, and were sojourners there until that time.
4 (Yonatan ɗan Shawulu yana da ɗa mai suna Mefiboshet wanda yake gurgu a duka ƙafafu. Yana da shekara biyar ne sa’ad da labarin mutuwar Shawulu da Yonatan ya zo daga Yezireyel. Sai mai renonsa ta ɗauke shi ta gudu, amma yayinda take hanzari tă gudu, sai ya fāɗo, ya gurgunce.)
And Jonathan the son of Saul bad a son that was lame of his feet: for he was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan from Jezrahel. And his nurse took him up and fled: and as she made haste to flee, he fell and became lame: and his name was Miphiboseth.
5 To, Rekab da Ba’ana,’ya’yan Rimmon mutumin Beyerot, suka tafi gidan Ish-Boshet, suka isa can da tsakar rana yayinda yake hutun tsakar rana.
And the sons of Remmon the Berothite, Rechab and Baana coming, went into the house of Isboseth in the heat of the day: and he was sleeping upon his bed at noon. And the doorkeeper of the house, who was cleansing wheat, was fallen asleep.
6 Suka shiga sashe na cikin gida sai ka ce suna so su ɗibo alkama ne, suka soke shi a ciki. Sa’an nan Rekab da Ba’ana ɗan’uwansa suka zame suka ɓace.
And they entered into the house secretly taking ears of corn, and Rechab and Baana his brother stabbed him in the groin, and fled away.
7 Sun shiga gidan yayinda yake kwance a gado a ɗakin barcinsa. Bayan sun soke shi sai suka kashe shi, suka kuma datse kansa. Suka ɗauke shi, suka yi tafiya dukan dare suka bi ta Araba.
For when they came into the house, be was sleeping upon his bed in a parlour, and they struck him and killed him: and taking away his head they went off by the way of the wilderness, walking all night.
8 Suka kawo kan Ish-Boshet wa Dawuda a Hebron, suka ce wa sarki, “Ga kan Ish-Boshet ɗan Shawulu, maƙiyinka, wanda ya nemi yă kashe ka. A yau Ubangiji ya rama wa ranka yă daɗe sarki, a kan Shawulu da zuriyarsa.”
And they brought the head of Isboseth to David to Hebron: and they said to the king: Behold the head of Isboseth the son of Saul thy enemy who sought thy life: and the Lord hath revenged my lord the king this day of Saul, and of his seed.
9 Dawuda ya ce wa Rekab da ɗan’uwansa Ba’ana,’ya’yan Rimmon mutumin Beyerot, “Muddin Ubangiji yana a raye, wanda ya kuɓutar da ni daga wahala,
But David answered Rechab, and Baana his brother, the sons of Remmon the Berothite, and said to them: As the Lord liveth, who hath delivered my soul out of all distress,
10 sa’ad da wani mutum ya ce mini, ‘Shawulu ya mutu,’ yana tsammani ya kawo labari mai daɗi ne, na kama shi na kashe a Ziklag. Ladar da na ba shi ke nan saboda labarinsa!
The man that told me, and said: Saul is dead, who thought he brought good tidings, I apprehended, and slew him in Siceleg, who should have been rewarded for his news.
11 Balle fa, sa’ad da mugayen mutane suka kashe marar laifi a gidansa, a bisa gadonsa, ashe, ba zan nemi jininsa daga hannunku in kawar da ku a duniya ba!”
How much more now when wicked men have slain an innocent man in his own house, upon his bed, shall I not require his blood at your hand, and take you away from the earth?
12 Saboda haka Dawuda ya umarci mutanensa, suka kuwa kashe su. Suka yayyanka hannuwansu da ƙafafunsu, suka kuma rataye jikunansu kusa da tafki a Hebron. Amma suka ɗauki kan Ish-Boshet suka binne a kabarin Abner a Hebron.
And David commanded his servants and they slew them: and cutting off their hands and feet, hanged them up over the pool in Hebron: but the head of Isboseth they took and buried in the sepulchre of Abner in Hebron.
