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 when Saul’s son heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands were feeble, and all the Israelites were 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,
And Saul’s son had two men [that were] captains of bands: the name of the one [was] Baanah, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon a Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin: (for Beeroth also was reckoned to Benjamin:
3 domin mutanen Beyerot sun gudu zuwa Gittayim inda suke zaman baƙunci har wa yau.
And the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and were sojourners there until this day.)
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, Saul’s son, had a son [that was] lame of [his] feet. He was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan out of Jezreel, and his nurse took him up, and fled: and it came to pass, as she made haste to flee, that he fell, and became lame. And his name [was] Mephibosheth.
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 Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went, and came about the heat of the day to the house of Ish-bosheth, who lay on a bed at noon.
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 came thither into the midst of the house, [as though] they would have fetched wheat; and they smote him under the fifth [rib: ] and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped.
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, he lay on his bed in his bedchamber, and they smote him, and slew him, and beheaded him, and took his head, and gat them away through the plain 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 Ish-bosheth unto David to Hebron, and said to the king, Behold the head of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul thine enemy, which sought thy life; and the LORD hath avenged 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,
And David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said unto them, [As] the LORD liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
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!
When one told me, saying, Behold, Saul is dead, thinking to have brought good tidings, I took hold of him, and slew him in Ziklag, who [thought] that I would have given him a reward for his tidings:
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, when wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house upon his bed? shall I not therefore now require his blood of 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 young men, and they slew them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged [them] up over the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ish-bosheth, and buried [it] in the sepulchre of Abner in Hebron.
