II Samuel 21
1 Adda iti panagbisin iti tiempo ni David iti tallo a tawen a nagsasaruno, ket sinarak ni David ti rupa ni Yahweh. Ket kinuna ni Yahweh, “Daytoy a panagbisin ket adda kenka gapu kenni Saul ken iti manangpapatay a pamiliana, gapu ta pinapatayna dagiti Gibeonita.”
During the reign of David there was a famine for three successive years, and David sought the face of the LORD. And the LORD said, “It is because of the blood shed by Saul and his family, because he killed the Gibeonites.”
2 Ita, dagiti Gibeonita ket saan a nagtaud kadagiti tattao ti Israel; nagtaudda kadagiti nabati kadagiti Ammoreo. Insapata dagiti tattao ti Israel a saanda ida a papatayen, ngem no pay kasta, pinadas ni Saul a papatayen amin ida gapu iti bumarbara a panagayatna kadagiti tattao ti Israel ken Juda.
At this, David summoned the Gibeonites and spoke to them. (Now the Gibeonites were not Israelites, but a remnant of the Amorites. The Israelites had taken an oath concerning them, but in his zeal for Israel and Judah, Saul had sought to kill them.)
3 Isu nga inayaban amin ni Ari David dagiti Gibeonita ket kinunana kadakuada, “Ania ti rumbeng nga aramidek kadakayo? Kasano a makaaramidak iti pangabbong iti basol, tapno mabalinyo a bendisionan dagiti tattao ni Yahweh, a nagtawid iti kinaimbag ken kadagiti karina?”
So David asked the Gibeonites, “What shall I do for you? How can I make amends so that you may bless the inheritance of the LORD?”
4 Simmungbat dagiti Gibeonita kenkuana, “Saan a marisut ti pirak wenno balitok ti dakes nga inaramid kadakami da Saul ken iti pamiliana. Ken saan a para kadakami ti pumatay iti siasinoman a tao ti Israel.” Insungbat ni David, “Aniaman a dawatenyo, dayta ti aramidek para kadakayo.”
The Gibeonites said to him, “We need no silver or gold from Saul or his house, nor should you put to death anyone in Israel for us.” “Whatever you ask, I will do for you,” he replied.
5 Simmungbatda iti ari, “Ti tao a nangpadas a mangpapatay kadakami amin, a nagpanggep iti kinadakes kadakami, isu a nadadaelkami ita ken awanankami iti lugar kadagiti nagbeddengan ti Israel —
And they answered the king, “As for the man who consumed us and plotted against us to exterminate us from existing within any border of Israel,
6 ipaimam kadakami ti pito a lallaki manipud kadagiti kaputotanna, ket bitayenmi ida iti imatang ni Yahweh idiay Gabaa a lugar ni Saul, ti pinili ni Yahweh.” Isu a kinuna ti ari, “Itedko ida kadakayo.”
let seven of his male descendants be delivered to us so that we may hang them before the LORD at Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of the LORD.” “I will give them to you,” said the king.
7 Ngem insalakan ti ari ni Mefiboset a putot ni Jonatan nga anak ni Saul, gapu ti sapata ni Yahweh iti nagbaetanda, iti nagbaetan ni David kenni Jonatan nga anak ni Saul.
Now the king spared Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, because of the oath before the LORD between David and Jonathan son of Saul.
8 Ngem innala ti ari dagiti dua nga annak a lallaki ni Rispa a putot a babai ni Aia, annakna a lallaki kenni Saul—ti nagan dagiti dua nga annakna a lallaki ket Armoni ken Mefiboset; ken innala met ni David dagiti lima nga annak a lallaki ni Mikal nga anak a babai ni Saul, nga anak ni Mikal kenni Adriel a putot a lalaki ni Barsillai a Meholitita.
But the king took Armoni and Mephibosheth, the two sons whom Rizpah daughter of Aiah had borne to Saul, as well as the five sons whom Merab daughter of Saul had borne to Adriel son of Barzillai the Meholathite.
9 Impaimana ida kadagiti Gibeonita. Binitayda ida idiay bantay iti imatang ni Yahweh, ket naggigiddanda a pito a natay. Napapatayda kabayatan iti tiempo ti panagaapit, kabayatan dagiti umuna nga al-aldaw ti rugi iti panagaaapit ti sebada.
And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them on the hill before the LORD. So all seven of them fell together; they were put to death in the first days of the harvest, at the beginning of the barley harvest.
10 Kalpasanna nangala ni Rispa a putot a babai ni Aia iti nakersang a lupot ket inyaplagna iti rabaw ti bantay para iti bagina, iti abay dagiti bangkay, manipud iti rugi ti pinagaapit agingga a natudoanda manipud iti tangatang. Saanna nga impalubos a singaen dagiti billit iti tangatang dagiti bangkay kabayatan iti aldaw wenno dagiti atap nga ayup kabayatan iti rabii.
And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth and spread it out for herself on a rock. From the beginning of the harvest until the rain from heaven poured down on the bodies, she did not allow the birds of the air to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.
11 Naibaga kenni David ti inaramid ni Rispa a puto a babai ni Aia, ti adipen nga asawa ni Saul.
When David was told what Saul’s concubine Rizpah, daughter of Aiah, had done,
12 Isu a napan ni David ket innalana dagiti tultulang ni Saul ken ni Jonatan nga anakna manipud kadagiti tattao ti Jabes Galaad, a nangtakaw kadagitoy manipud iti plasa idiay Bet-san, a nangbitayan dagiti Filisteo kadakuada, kalpasan a pinapatay dagiti Filisteo ni Saul idiay Gilboa.
he went and took the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan from the men of Jabesh-gilead, who had stolen them from the public square of Beth-shan where the Philistines had hung the bodies after they had struck down Saul at Gilboa.
13 Innala ni David dagiti tultulang da Saul ken Jonatan nga anakna manipud sadiay, ket inurnongda met dagiti tultulang dagiti pito a lallaki a naibitay.
So David had the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan brought from there, along with the bones of those who had been hanged.
14 Ingkalida dagiti tultulang da Saul ken Jonatan nga anakna idiay pagilian ni Benjamin idiay Sela, iti tanem ni Kis nga amana. Inaramidda amin nga imbilin ti ari. Kalpasan dayta, sinungbatan ti Dios dagiti kararagda para iti daga.
And they buried the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan in Zela in the land of Benjamin, in the tomb of Saul’s father Kish. After they had done everything the king had commanded, God answered their prayers for the land.
15 Ket ginubat manen dagiti Filisteo ti Israel. Isu a simmalog ni David ken ti armadana ket nakirangetda kadagiti Filisteo. Nabannog unay ni David iti pannakigubatna.
Once again the Philistines waged war against Israel, and David and his servants went down and fought against the Philistines; but David became exhausted.
16 Ni David ket pinanggep a patayen ni Isbibenob a kaputotan dagiti higante, nga addaan iti bronse a gayang nga agdagsen iti tallo gasut a siklo, ken nakaarmas iti baro a kampilan.
Then Ishbi-benob, a descendant of Rapha, whose bronze spear weighed three hundred shekels and who was bearing a new sword, resolved to kill David.
17 Ngem inispal ni Abisai a putot ni Zeruyas ni David, rinautna ti Filisteo, ket pinapatayna ni Isbibenob. Ket nagsapata dagiti tattao ni David kenkuana, kunada, “Saankanton a pulos a kumuyog iti gubatan kadakami, tapno saanmo nga iddepen ti silaw ti Israel.”
But Abishai son of Zeruiah came to his aid, struck the Philistine, and killed him. Then David’s men swore to him, “You must never again go out with us to battle, so that the lamp of Israel may not be extinguished.”
18 Kalpasan daytoy ket dimteng manen ti sabali a pannakigubatda kadagiti Filisteo idiay Gob, idi pinatay ni Sebecai a Husatita ni Saf, a maysa kadagiti kaputotan dagiti Refaim.
Some time later at Gob, there was another battle with the Philistines. At that time Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Saph, one of the descendants of Rapha.
19 Dimteng manen ti simmaruno a pannakigubatda kadagiti Filisteo idiay Gob, pinatay ni Elhanan a putot ni Jair a Betlehemita ni Goliat a Giteo, nga akin-gayang iti kasla poste ti pagabelan.
Once again there was a battle with the Philistines at Gob, and Elhanan son of Jair the Bethlehemite killed the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
20 Dimteng manen iti maysa a gubat idiay Gat nga adda iti maysa tao a kasta unay ti katayagna nga addaan iti innem a ramay iti tunggal imana ken innem met a ramay iti tunggal sakana, duapulo ket uppat ti bilang dagiti ramayna. Nagtaud met laeng isuna iti Refaim.
And there was still another battle at Gath, where there was a man of great stature with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot—twenty-four in all. He too was descended from Rapha,
21 Ket idi linaisna ti Israel, pinatay isuna ni Jonatan a putot ni Shama, a kabsat a lalaki ni David.
and when he taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of David’s brother Shimei killed him.
22 Dagitoy dagiti kaputotan ti Refaim ti Gat, ket napapatayda kadagiti ima ni David ken iti ima dagiti soldadona.
So these four descendants of Rapha in Gath fell at the hands of David and his servants.
