< دوم سموئیل 4 >

وقتی ایشبوشت پادشاه شنید که ابنیر در حبرون کشته شده است، هراسان گشت و تمام قومش نیز مضطرب شدند. 1
And he heard [the] son of Saul that he had died Abner in Hebron and they dropped hands his and all Israel they were terrified.
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 two men commanders of marauding bands they were [the] son of Saul [the] name of the one [was] Baanah and [the] name of the second [was] Rechab [the] sons of Rimmon the Beerothite from [the] descendants of Benjamin for also Beeroth it is reckoned to Benjamin.
3
And they fled the Beerothites Gittaim towards and they have been there sojourners until the day this.
(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
And [belonged] to Jonathan [the] son of Saul a son stricken of feet a son of five years he was when came [the] report of Saul and Jonathan from Jezreel and she lifted him nurse his and she fled and it was when hurried she to flee and he fell and he became lame and name his [was] Mephibosheth.
یک روز ظهر، موقعی که ایشبوشت پادشاه خوابیده بود، ریکاب و بعنه وارد خانهٔ او شدند. 5
And they went [the] sons of Rimmon the Beerothite Rechab and Baanah and they came when [the] heat of the day to [the] house of Ish-bosheth and he [was] lying [the] lying of 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 they [fem] they came to [the] middle of the house taking wheat and they struck him to the belly and Rechab and Baanah brother his they escaped.
7
And they came the house and he [was] lying on bed his in [the] chamber of lying down his and they struck him and they killed him and they removed head his and they took head his and they went [the] way of the Arabah all the 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
And they brought [the] head of Ish-bosheth to David Hebron and they said to the king here! [the] head of Ish-bosheth [the] son of Saul enemy your who he sought life your and he has given Yahweh to lord my the king vengeance the day this from Saul and from offspring his.
اما داوود جواب داد: «به خداوند زنده که مرا از دست دشمنانم نجات داد، قسم 9
And he answered David Rechab - and Baanah brother his [the] sons of Rimmon the Beerothite and he said to them [by] [the] life of Yahweh who he has ransomed life my from every trouble.
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
If the [one who] told to me saying here! he has died Saul and he he was like a bearer of news in own eyes his and I took hold! on him and I killed him in Ziklag that to give I to him good 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
Indeed? if men wicked they have killed a man righteous in own house his on own bed his and therefore ¿ not will I require blood his from hand your and I will remove you 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
And he commanded David the young men and they killed them and they cut off hands their and feet their and they hanged [them] at the pool in Hebron and [the] head of Ish-bosheth they took and they buried [it] in [the] tomb of Abner at Hebron.
