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.
And when [Ish-bosheth], Saul’s son, heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands became feeble, and all the Israelites were 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 [Ish-bosheth], 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 the Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin: (for Beeroth also is reckoned to 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 been sojourners 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 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 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.
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, 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 they came thither into the midst of the house, as though they would have fetched wheat; and they smote him in the belly: and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped.
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.
Now when they came into the house, as he lay on his bed in his bedchamber, they smote him, and slew him, and beheaded him, and 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.
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 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,
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 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 one told me, saying, Behold, Saul is dead, thinking to have brought good tidings, I took hold of him, and slew him in Ziklag, which was the reward I gave him for his tidings.
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 upon 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.
And David commanded his young men, and they slew them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged them up beside the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ish-bosheth, and buried it in the grave of Abner in Hebron.
