< Samuu'Eel Labaad 4 >

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.
And when Saul's son Ish-bosheth had news that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands became feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled.
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,
And Saul's son had two men, captains of bands, one named Baanah and the other Rechab, sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the tribe of Benjamin; (for Beeroth was at one time taken to be part of Benjamin:
3 oo reer Bi'irodna waxay u carareen xagga Gitayim, oo halkaasay degganaayeen ilaa maantadan).
But the people of Beeroth had gone in flight to Gittaim, where they have been living 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.
Now Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son whose feet were damaged. He was five years old when news of the death of Saul and Jonathan came from Jezreel, and the woman who took care of him took him up and went in flight: and while she was getting him away as quickly as she was able, he had a fall and his feet were damaged. 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.
And Rechab and Baanah, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, went out and came to the house of Ish-bosheth in the heat of the day, when he was resting in the middle of the day. Now the woman who kept the door was cleaning grain, and sleep overcame her.
6 Oo gurigay soo galeen, sidii iyagoo sarreen qaadanaya; markaasay caloosha ka dooxeen. Markaasaa Reekaab iyo walaalkiis Bacanaah baxsadeen.
And Rechab and his brother Baanah got in without being seen.
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.
And when they came into the house, Ish-bosheth was stretched on his bed in his bedroom; and they made an attack on him and put him to death, and, cutting off his head, they took it with them and went by the road through the Arabah all night.
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.
And they took the head of Ish-bosheth to David in Hebron, and said to the king, Here is the head of Ish-bosheth, the son of Saul your hater, who would have taken your life; the Lord has taken payment for the wrongs of my lord the king from Saul and his seed today.
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,
And David made answer to Rechab and his brother Baanah, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said to them, By the living Lord, who has kept me safe from all my trouble,
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 one came to me with the news of Saul's death, in the belief that it would be good news, I took him and put him to death in Ziklag, which was the reward I gave him 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 evil men have put an upright person to death, in his house, sleeping on his bed, will I take payment from you for his blood, and have you cut off 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.
And David gave orders to his young men and they put them to death, cutting off their hands and their feet and hanging them up by the side of the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ish-bosheth and put it in its last resting-place with Abner's body in Hebron.
