دوم سموئیل 4
| وقتی ایشبوشت پادشاه شنید که ابنیر در حبرون کشته شده است، هراسان گشت و تمام قومش نیز مضطرب شدند. | 1 |
Now when Ishbaal, Saul's son, heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, he lost courage, and all Israel was troubled.
| ایشبوشت دو فرمانده سپاه داشت به نامهای بعنه و ریکاب. آنها پسران رمون بئیروتی از قبیلهٔ بنیامین بودند. (با اینکه اهالی بئیروت به جتایم فرار کرده و در آنجا ساکن شده بودند، ولی باز جزو قبیلهٔ بنیامین محسوب می‌شدند.) | 2 |
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 |
and the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and have lived as foreigners there until this day).
| (در ضمن، شائول نوهٔ لنگی داشت به نام مفیبوشت که پسر یوناتان بود. هنگامی که شائول و یوناتان در جنگ یزرعیل کشته شدند، مفیبوشت پنج ساله بود. وقتی خبر مرگ شائول و یوناتان به پایتخت رسید، دایهٔ مفیبوشت، او را برداشت و فرار کرد. ولی هنگام فرار به زمین خورد و بچه از دستش افتاد و پایش لنگ شد.) | 4 |
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.
| یک روز ظهر، موقعی که ایشبوشت پادشاه خوابیده بود، ریکاب و بعنه وارد خانهٔ او شدند. | 5 |
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.
| آنها به بهانهٔ گرفتن یک کیسه گندم به کاخ او آمدند و مخفیانه به اتاق پادشاه رفتند. سپس او را کشته، سرش را از تنش جدا کردند و آن را با خود برداشته، از راه بیابان گریختند. آنها تمام شب در راه بودند | 6 |
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 |
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.
| تا به حبرون رسیدند. ریکاب و بعنه سر بریده شدهٔ ایشبوشت را به داوود تقدیم کرده، گفتند: «این سر ایشبوشت، پسر دشمنت شائول است که می‌خواست تو را بکشد. امروز خداوند انتقام تو را از شائول و تمام خاندان او گرفته است!» | 8 |
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."
| اما داوود جواب داد: «به خداوند زنده که مرا از دست دشمنانم نجات داد، قسم | 9 |
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,
| که من آن شخصی را که خبر کشته شدن شائول را به صقلغ آورد و گمان می‌کرد که مژده می‌آورد، کشتم. آن مژدگانی‌ای بود که به او دادم. | 10 |
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.
| حال، آیا سزای مردان شروری که شخص بی‌گناهی را در خانهٔ خود و در رختخوابش به قتل رسانده‌اند، کمتر از این باید باشد؟ بدانید که شما را نیز خواهم کشت.» | 11 |
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?"
| بعد داوود به افرادش دستور داد که هر دو را بکشند. پس آنها را کشتند و دستها و پاهایشان را بریده، بدنهایشان را در کنار برکهٔ حبرون به دار آویختند؛ اما سر ایشبوشت را گرفته، در قبر ابنیر در حبرون دفن کردند. | 12 |
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.
