< دوم سموئیل 4 >

و چون پسر شاول شنید که ابنیر در حبرون مرده است دستهایش ضعیف شد، وتمامی اسرائیل پریشان گردیدند. ۱ 1
Then Ishbosheth, the son of Saul, heard that Abner had fallen in Hebron. And his hands were weakened, and all of Israel was troubled.
و پسر شاول دو مرد داشت که سردار فوج بودند؛ اسم یکی بعنه و اسم دیگری ریکاب بود، پسران رمون بئیروتی از بنی بنیامین، زیرا که بئیروت با بنیامین محسوب بود. ۲ 2
Now the son of Saul had two men, leaders among robbers. The name of the one was Baanah, and the name of the other was Rechab, sons of Rimmon, a Beerothite from the sons of Benjamin. For indeed, Beeroth, too, was reputed with Benjamin.
و بئیروتیان به جتایم فرار کرده، در آنجا تا امروز غربت پذیرفتند. ۳ 3
And the Beerothites had fled into Gittaim. And they were strangers there, until that time.
و یوناتان پسر شاول را پسری لنگ بود که هنگام رسیدن خبر شاول و یوناتان از یزرعیل، پنج ساله بود، و دایه‌اش او را برداشته، فرار کرد. وچون به فرار کردن تعجیل می‌نمود، او افتاد و لنگ شد و اسمش مفیبوشت بود. ۴ 4
Now Jonathan, the son of Saul, had a son with disabled feet. For he was five years old when the report about Saul and Jonathan arrived from Jezreel. And so, his nurse, taking him up, fled. And while she was hurrying, so that she might flee, he fell and was made lame. And he was called Mephibosheth.
و ریکاب و بعنه، پسران رمون بئیروتی روانه شده، در وقت گرمای روز به خانه ایشبوشت داخل شدند و او به خواب ظهر بود. ۵ 5
And so, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, arrived and entered the house of Ishbosheth, in the heat of the day. And he was sleeping on his bed at midday. And the doorkeeper of the house, who was cleaning the wheat, fell fast asleep.
پس به بهانه‌ای که گندم بگیرند در میان خانه داخل شده، به شکم او زدند و ریکاب و برادرش بعنه فرارکردند. ۶ 6
Then they entered the house secretly, taking the ears of grain. And Rechab and his brother Baanah stabbed him in the groin, and they fled away.
و چون به خانه داخل شدند و او بربسترش در خوابگاه خود می‌خوابید، او را زدند وکشتند و سرش را از تن جدا کردند و سرش راگرفته، از راه عربه تمامی شب کوچ کردند. ۷ 7
For when they had entered the house, he was sleeping on his bed in a closed room. And striking him, they killed him. And taking his head, they departed by the way of the desert, walking throughout the night.
و سرایشبوشت را نزد داود به حبرون آورده، به پادشاه گفتند: «اینک سر دشمنت، ایشبوشت، پسرشاول، که قصد جان تو می‌داشت. و خداوندامروز انتقام آقای ما پادشاه را از شاول و ذریه‌اش کشیده است.» ۸ 8
And they brought the head of Ishbosheth to David in Hebron. And they said to the king: “Behold, the head of Ishbosheth, the son of Saul, your enemy, who was seeking your life. And so, the Lord has avenged my lord the king, this day, from Saul and from his offspring.”
و داود ریکاب و برادرش بعنه، پسران رمون بئیروتی را جواب داده، به ایشان گفت: «قسم به حیات خداوند که جان مرا از هر تنگی فدیه داده است. ۹ 9
But David, responding to Rechab and his brother Baanah, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, said to them: “As the Lord lives who has rescued my soul from all distress,
وقتی که کسی مرا خبر داده، گفت که اینک شاول مرده است و گمان می‌برد که بشارت می‌آورد، او را گرفته، در صقلغ کشتم و این اجرت بشارت بود که به او دادم. ۱۰ 10
the one who reported to me and said, ‘Saul is dead,’ who was thinking that he announced good news, I apprehended. And at Ziklag I killed him who ought to have been given a reward for the news.
پس چندمرتبه زیاده چون مردان شریر، شخص صالح رادر خانه‌اش بر بسترش بکشند، آیا خون او را ازدست شما مطالبه نکنم؟ و شما را از زمین هلاک نسازم؟» ۱۱ 11
How much more so now, when impious men have put to death an innocent man in his own house, upon his bed, shall I not require his blood from your hand, and take you away from the earth?”
پس داود خادمان خود را امر فرمودکه ایشان را کشتند و دست و پای ایشان را قطع نموده، بر برکه حبرون آویختند. اما سرایشبوشت را گرفته در قبر ابنیر در حبرون دفن کردند. ۱۲ 12
And so, David commanded his servants, and they put them to death. And cutting off their hands and feet, they suspended them up over the pool in Hebron. But the head of Ishbosheth they took and buried in the sepulcher of Abner at Hebron.
