< Otra Samuela 4 >

1 Kad nu Saula dēls dzirdēja, ka Abners Hebronē bija miris, tad viņa rokas nogura un viss Israēls iztrūkās.
When Ishbosheth, son of Saul, heard that Abner had died in Hebron, he was very discouraged, and everyone in Israel was shocked.
2 Un Saula dēlam bija divi vīri, sirotāju virsnieki, un vienam bija vārds Baēna un otram Rekabs, Rimona dēli, no Beērotas, no Benjamina bērniem, (jo Beērota arīdzan Benjamina bērniem top pieskaitīta;
Ishbosheth had two commanders of his raiding bands, brothers by the name of Baanah and Rechab. They were the sons of Rimmon of the tribe of Benjamin from the town of Beeroth. Beeroth is considered part of the territory of Benjamin,
3 Un tie Beērotieši bija bēguši uz Ģetaīm un bija tur piemitēji līdz šai dienai.)
because the people who had lived in Beeroth before ran away to Gittaim and lived there as foreigners right up to the present.
4 Un Jonatānam, Saula dēlam, bija dēls, tas bija tizls uz abējām kājām; pieci gadus viņš bija vecs, kad tā vēsts no Jezreēles nāca par Saulu un Jonatānu, un viņa emma viņu bija uzņēmusi un bēgusi, un tai steigšus bēgot viņš bija kritis un par kropli palicis, un viņa vārds bija Mefibošets.
Jonathan, son of Saul, had a son lame in both feet. He was five years old when the news about the deaths of Saul and Jonathan had come from Jezreel. His nurse had picked him up and ran away, but as she rushed to get away, he fell and became lame. His name was Mephibosheth.
5 Un Rimona, tā Beērotieša, dēli, Rekabs un Baēna, nogāja un nāca uz Išbošeta namu pašā dienas karstumā un viņš gulēja uz gultas dienasvidū.
Rechab and Baanah, sons of Rimmon from Beeroth, went to Ishbosheth's house, arriving in the heat of the day as the king was taking his midday rest.
6 Un tie gāja namā iekšā, tā kā kviešus ņemt, un iedūra viņam vēderā, un Rekabs un Baēna, viņa brālis, aizbēga.
The woman doorkeeper had been cleaning wheat, but she had grown tired and fallen asleep, so Rechab and Baanah were able to slip inside.
7 Tie nāca namā, viņam uz gultas guļot savā guļamā istabā, un to sita un nokāva, un viņam nocirta galvu, un tie ņēma viņa galvu un gāja pa klajuma ceļu visu nakti.
They had gone into the house while Ishbosheth was asleep on his bed in his bedroom. After stabbing and killing him, they cut off his head which they took with them, and they traveled all night by the Jordan Valley road.
8 Un tie nesa Išbošeta galvu pie Dāvida uz Hebroni un sacīja uz ķēniņu: redzi, še ir Išbošeta, Saula dēla, tava ienaidnieka, galva, kas tavu dzīvību meklēja. Tā Tas Kungs manu kungu, to ķēniņu, šodien ir atriebis pie Saula un viņa dzimuma.
They took the head of Ishbosheth to David in Hebron. They told the king, “Here is the head of Ishbosheth, son of Saul, your enemy who tried to kill you. Today the Lord has taken revenge on Saul and his family for my lord the king.”
9 Bet Dāvids atbildēja Rekabam un viņa brālim Baēnam, Rimona, tā Beērotieša, dēliem, un uz tiem sacīja: tik tiešām, kā Tas Kungs dzīvs, kas manu dvēseli ir atpestījis no visām bēdām,
But David answered Rechab and his brother Baanah, sons of Rimmon from Beeroth, “As the Lord lives, who has saved me from all my troubles,
10 Kas man to vēsti nesa, sacīdams: redzi, Sauls ir nomiris! Un šķitās labu vēsti nesot, to es sagrābu un nokāvu Ciklagā, dot tam vēstneša algu;
when someone told me, ‘Look, Saul is dead’ and he thought he was bringing me good news, I grabbed him and had him put him to death at Ziklag. That was what he got for bringing me his news!
11 Jo vairāk, kad bezdievīgi vīri taisnu vīru viņa namā uz viņa gultas nokāvuši, - un nu, vai man nebūs meklēt viņa asinis no jūsu rokām un jūs izdeldēt no zemes?
Even more so then, when evil men kill a good man in his own house, and in his own bed, shouldn't I demand you pay for his life with your own lives, and exterminate you!”
12 Un Dāvids pavēlēja saviem puišiem, un tie tos nokāva un nocirta viņiem rokas un kājās un tos uzkāra pie Hebrones dīķa. Bet Išbošeta galvu tie ņēma un apraka Abnera kapā Hebronē.
David gave the order to his men, and they killed Rechab and Baanah. They chopped off their hands and feet, and hung their bodies by the pool in Hebron. Then they took Ishbosheth's head and buried it in Abner's grave in Hebron.
