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.”
Once during David's reign there was a famine for three years in a row, and David asked the Lord about it. The Lord replied, “It's because Saul and his family are guilty of murdering 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.
David summoned the Gibeonites and spoke with them. The Gibeonites were not Israelites, but what was left of the Amorites. The Israelites had sworn an oath to them, but in his nationalistic passion for the Israelites and Judah, Saul had tried to wipe them out.
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?”
“What can I do for you?” David asked the Gibeonites. “How can I compensate you so that you may bless the Lord's people?”
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.”
“This isn't a question of us receiving payment in silver or gold from Saul or his family,” the Gibeonites replied. “In addition we don't have the right to have anyone in Israel put to death for us.” “I'll do whatever you ask,” David answered.
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 —
They replied, “Regarding the man who destroyed us, who planned to prevent us having any place to live in the whole country 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.”
have seven of Saul's male descendants be handed over to us, and we will hang them in the presence of the Lord at Gibeon of Saul, the Lord's chosen one.” “I will hand them over 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.
However, the king spared Mephibosheth, son of Jonathan, son of Saul, because of the oath sworn 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.
The king took Armoni and Mephibosheth, the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she had borne to Saul, and the five sons of Merab, the daughter of Saul, whom she 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.
He handed them over to the Gibeonites, and they hanged them on the hill in the presence of the Lord. All seven of them died at the same time, executed 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.
Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took some sackcloth and spread it out for herself on a rock. From the beginning of the harvest until the time the rains came and poured down on the bodies, she kept the birds away from them during the day and the wild animals at night.
11 Naibaga kenni David ti inaramid ni Rispa a puto a babai ni Aia, ti adipen nga asawa ni Saul.
When David heard what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, Saul's concubine of Saul 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 retrieved the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan from the men of Jabesh-gilead, who had taken them from the public square of Beth-shan where the Philistines had hung the bodies after they had killed 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.
David had the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan brought back, and also had the bones of those who had been hanged gathered up.
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.
They buried the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan at Zela in the land of Benjamin, in the tomb of Saul's father Kish. Once they finished doing everything the king had ordered, God answered their prayers to end the famine in 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.
There was war once more between the Philistines and Israel. David went down with his men to fight the Philistines, and he got worn out.
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.
Ishbi-benob, one of the descendants of Rapha, whose bronze spear weighed three hundred shekels, and who was carrying a new sword, said he was going 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 rescue, attacked the Philistine, and killed him. Then David's men swore to him, “Don't ever go out with us to battle again, so that the Israel's light isn't snuffed out!”
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 after this there was another battle with the Philistines at Gob. But then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Saph, one of the descendants of Repha.
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.
In another battle with the Philistines at Gob, Elhanan, son of Jair, from Bethlehem, killed the brother of Goliath the Gittite. The shaft of his spear was as thick as a weaver's rod.
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.
In yet another battle at Gath, there was a gigantic man, who had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot, making twenty-four all. He too was descended from the giants.
21 Ket idi linaisna ti Israel, pinatay isuna ni Jonatan a putot ni Shama, a kabsat a lalaki ni David.
But when he insulted Israel, Jonathan, son of Shimea, David's brother, killed him.
22 Dagitoy dagiti kaputotan ti Refaim ti Gat, ket napapatayda kadagiti ima ni David ken iti ima dagiti soldadona.
These four were the descendants of the giants in Gath, but they were all killed by David and his men.
