2 Samoela 4
1 Ie jinanji’ i ana’ i Saole e Kebroney te nivilasy t’i Abnere, le nigebañe ty fità’e vaho ninevenevetse iaby o ana’ Israeleo.
Now when Ishbaal, Saul's son, heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, he lost courage, and all Israel was troubled.
2 Ondaty roe ty nimpifehem-pirimboñañe amy ana’ i Saoley; ty raike natao Baanà, naho ty tahina’ ty raike: Rekabe, sambe ana’ i Rimone nte Beerote, ana’ i Beniamine; amy te nivolilieñe amy Beniamine t’i Beerote;
And Ishbaal, Saul's son, had two men who were captains of bands; the name of the one was Baanah, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the people of Benjamin (for Beeroth was regarded as belonging to the people of Benjamin;
3 aa le nibioñe mb’e Gitaime mb’eo o nte-Beeroteo, vaho nañialo ho renetane añe pake henaneo.
and the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and have lived as foreigners there until this day).
4 Nanañ’ anadahy kepek’ am-pandia t’Ionatane ana’ i Saole, ie lime taoñe te pok’eo i talily i Saole naho Ionatane e Iezreeley le rinambe’ i mpiatrak’ azey naho nandrifitse ty lay; aa ie nitaentaeñe hipitsike le nidorasitse nahakepeke i natao Mefibosètey.
Now Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son whose feet were crippled. He was five years old when the news came of Saul and Jonathan from Jezreel, and his nurse took him up and fled. And it happened as she was hurrying to get away that he fell and was injured. And his name was Mippibaal.
5 Niheo mb’eo i ana’ i Rimone nte-Beerote rey, i Rekabe naho i Baanà, le nivotrak’ añ’ anjomba’ Isbosete an-tsingilingilien’ andro, ie nandre am-pandreañe ao.
The sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went, and came about the heat of the day to the house of Ishbaal, as he took his rest at noon.
6 Nimoak’ am-po i anjombay iereo nanao ho mpampibalike vare-bolè, le tinombo’ iareo ambane’ ty pa’e faha-lime ao; vaho nivoratsake t’i Rekabe naho i Baanà rahalahi’ey.
And look, the doorkeeper of the house had been sifting wheat, and she became drowsy and fell asleep. And Rechab and his brother Baanah slipped by.
7 Ie nimoak’ añ’ anjomba ao iereo, ie nandre am-pandrea’e an-trañom-pandrea’e ao, le tinombo’ iareo, vinono, naho kinitsi’ iereo ty añambone’e vaho nikatsakatsak’ amy haleñey niranga i montoñey.
And they went into the house where he was lying on his bed in his bedchamber. And they struck him and killed him, and beheaded him. And they took his head and went by the way of the Arabah all night.
8 Nendese’ iereo mb’amy Davide e Kebrone mb’eo ty añambone’ Isbosete le nanao ty hoe amy mpanjakay, Ingo ty añambone’ Isbosete ana’ i Saole rafelahi’oy, i nipay ty fiai’oy, fa nondroha’ Iehovà ty kabò’ i talèko mpanjakay amy Saole naho amy tiri’ey anindroany.
They brought the head of Ishbaal to David at Hebron, and said to the king, "Look, the head of Ishbaal, the son of Saul, your enemy, who sought your life. The LORD has avenged my lord the king this day of Saul and his descendants."
9 Aa hoe ty natoi’ i Davide amy Rakabe naho i Baanà rahalahi’e, ana’ i Rimone nte-Beerote: Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà nijebañe ty fiaiko amy ze atao rafelahy iaby,
David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said to them, "As the LORD lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
10 naho nitalily amako ty nanao ty hoe: Inao, vilasy t’i Saole. Ie natao’e te nanday talily soa. Fe rinambeko vaho zinevoko e Tsiklage ao ho tambe’ i talili’ey.
when someone told me, 'Look, Saul is dead,' thinking to have brought good news, I took hold of him, and killed him in Ziklag, which was the reward I gave him for his news.
11 Tsy antsake hao ondaty lo-tsereke namono indaty marentane añ’anjomba’e am-pandrea’ey? Tsy hampañavahako am-pità’ areo hao ty lio’e hanintak’ anahareo an-tane atoy?
How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house on his bed, shall I not now require his blood of your hand, and take you away from the earth?"
12 Aa le linili’ i Davide o gaon-dahi’eo, le vinono’ iereo naho kinitsike o fitañe naho fandia’ iareoo naho naradorado ambone’ i antara’ i Kebroney. Nitakone’ iereo ty añambone’ Isbosete vaho nalenteke an-kibori’ i Abnere e Kebrone ao.
David commanded his young men, and they killed them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged them up beside the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ishbaal, and buried it in the grave of Abner son of Ner.
