1 Oo Saa'uul wiilkiisii Iishboshed ahaa markuu maqlay in Abneer Xebroon ku dhintay ayaa gacmihiisii taag beeleen, oo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammuna way nexeen.
Now when Ish-bosheth son of Saul heard that Abner had died in Hebron, he lost courage, and all Israel was dismayed.
2 Oo Saa'uul wiilkiisii Iishboshed ahaana wuxuu lahaa laba nin oo askartiisa saraakiil u ahaa. Mid magiciisu wuxuu ahaa Bacanaah, oo kan kale magiciisuna wuxuu ahaa Reekaab, oo waxayna ahaayeen ilmo Rimmon kii reer Bi'irod, oo waxayna ahaayeen reer Benyaamiin (waayo, Bi'irod waxaa lagu tiriyey reer Benyaamiin,
Saul’s son had two men who were leaders of raiding parties. One was named Baanah and the other Rechab; they were sons of Rimmon the Beerothite of the tribe of Benjamin—Beeroth is considered part of Benjamin,
3 oo reer Bi'irodna waxay u carareen xagga Gitayim, oo halkaasay degganaayeen ilaa maantadan).
because the Beerothites fled to Gittaim and have lived there as foreigners to this day.
4 Yoonaataan ina Saa'uul wuxuu lahaa wiil curyaan ah. Oo isagu shan jir buu ahaa markii war ku saabsan Saa'uul iyo Yoonaataan Yesreceel laga keenay, ee ay naagtii isaga dhawraysay kor u qaadatay, oo carartay. Oo intay ku degdegaysay inay cararto ayuu ka dhacay, oo markaasuu curyaan noqday. Oo magiciisuna wuxuu ahaa Mefiiboshed.
And Jonathan son of Saul had a son who was lame in his feet. He was five years old when the report about Saul and Jonathan came from Jezreel. His nurse picked him up and fled, but as she was hurrying to escape, he fell and became lame. His name was Mephibosheth.
5 Oo Rimmonkii reer Bi'irod wiilashiisii oo ahaa Reekaab iyo Bacanaah way tageen, oo wakhti kulul ayay gurigii Iishboshed yimaadeen, isagoo hadhkii nasanaya.
Now Rechab and Baanah, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, set out and arrived at the house of Ish-bosheth in the heat of the day, while the king was taking his midday nap.
6 Oo gurigay soo galeen, sidii iyagoo sarreen qaadanaya; markaasay caloosha ka dooxeen. Markaasaa Reekaab iyo walaalkiis Bacanaah baxsadeen.
They entered the interior of the house as if to get some wheat, and they stabbed him in the stomach. Then Rechab and his brother Baanah slipped away.
7 Markay guriga soo galeen, isagoo sariirta ku jiifa oo qolka la seexdo ku jira, ayay garaaceen oo dileen, oo madaxiina way ka gooyeen oo la tageen, markaasay jidkii Caraabaah habeenkii oo dhan sii guuraynayeen.
They had entered the house while Ish-bosheth was lying on his bed, and having stabbed and killed him, they beheaded him, took his head, and traveled all night by way of the Arabah.
8 Oo Iishboshed madaxiisii ayay Daa'uud ugu keeneen Xebroon, oo waxay boqorkii ku yidhaahdeen, Bal eeg madaxii Iishboshed ee uu dhalay Saa'uul kii cadowgaaga ahaa oo doonayay inuu nafta kaa qaado; haddaba sayidkaygiiyow, boqorow, Rabbigu maanta waa kaaga aar guday Saa'uul iyo farcankiisiiba.
They brought the head of Ish-bosheth to David at Hebron and said to the king, “Here is the head of Ish-bosheth son of Saul, your enemy who sought your life. Today the LORD has granted vengeance to my lord the king against Saul and his offspring.”
9 Markaasaa Daa'uud ugu jawaabay Reekaab iyo walaalkiis Bacanaah, oo ahaa ilma Rimmonkii reer Bi'irod, Waxaan ku dhaartay nolosha Rabbigii naftayda ka badbaadshay cidhiidhi oo dhan,
But David answered Rechab and his brother Baanah, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, “As surely as the LORD lives, who has redeemed my life from all distress,
10 markii mid ii soo sheegay inuu Saa'uul dhintay, isagoo u malaynaya inuu war wanaagsan ii sido, waan qabtay oo Siiqlag baan ku dilay, taasuna waxay ahayd abaalgudkii aan warkiisii ka siiyey.
when someone told me, ‘Look, Saul is dead,’ and thought he was a bearer of good news, I seized him and put him to death at Ziklag. That was his reward for his news!
11 Haddaba idinkoo ah niman shar leh, markaad disheen qof xaq ah oo sariirtii gurigiisa ku jiifa, miyaanan in ka sii badan dhiiggiisii gacmihiinna weyddiinayn, oo miyaanan dhulka idinka qaadayn?
How much more, when wicked men kill a righteous man in his own house and on his own bed, shall I not now require his blood from your hands and remove you from the earth!”
12 Markaasaa Daa'uud amray raggiisii dhallinyarada ahaa, wayna dileen iyagii, oo waxay ka jareen gacmihii iyo cagihii, oo ka soo lalmiyeen balliga Xebroon ku yaal agtiisa. Laakiinse Iishboshed madaxiisii intay qaadeen ayay ku aaseen qabrigii Abneer oo Xebroon ku yiil.
So David commanded his young men, and they killed Rechab and Baanah. They cut off their hands and feet and hung their bodies by the pool in Hebron, but they took the head of Ish-bosheth and buried it in Abner’s tomb in Hebron.
