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.
When Saul’s son Ishbosheth heard that Abner had been killed at Hebron, [he realized that he might also be killed]. He became discouraged, and all the Israeli people (trembled/became afraid).
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,
Ishbosheth had two officers who were leaders of groups that raided other villages. [They were brothers; ] their names were Baanah and Rechab, sons of Rimmon from Beeroth [town] in the tribe of Benjamin. Beeroth is in the area that had [been assigned to] the tribe of Benjamin.
3 oo reer Bi'irodna waxay u carareen xagga Gitayim, oo halkaasay degganaayeen ilaa maantadan).
But the people of Beeroth had fled to Gittaim [town], and they still live there.
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.
Saul’s son Jonathan had a son named Mephibosheth. When Mephibosheth was five years old, Saul and Jonathan died in the battle. When people brought that news from Jezreel, Mephibosheth’s nursemaid picked him up and ran away. She ran very fast, with the result that she dropped him, and his legs became crippled.
5 Oo Rimmonkii reer Bi'irod wiilashiisii oo ahaa Reekaab iyo Bacanaah way tageen, oo wakhti kulul ayay gurigii Iishboshed yimaadeen, isagoo hadhkii nasanaya.
One day, Rechab and Baanah left [their home] to go to Ishbosheth’s house. They arrived there about noontime, when Ishbosheth was taking his midday nap.
6 Oo gurigay soo galeen, sidii iyagoo sarreen qaadanaya; markaasay caloosha ka dooxeen. Markaasaa Reekaab iyo walaalkiis Bacanaah baxsadeen.
The woman who was the doorkeeper was sifting wheat. While doing that, she became sleepy, and fell asleep. So Rechab and his brother Baanah were able to creep in quietly.
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 entered Ishbosheth’s bedroom, where he was sleeping. They killed him [with their swords] and cut off his head. They carried his head and walked all night through the Jordan [River] Valley.
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 took the head of Ishbosheth to David at Hebron. They said to him, “Here is the head of Ishbosheth, the son of your enemy Saul, who tried to kill you. Your majesty, today Yahweh has allowed you to get revenge on Saul and his descendants!”
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 replied to them, “Yahweh is the one who has rescued me from all my troubles. And just as surely as Yahweh lives, what I am now saying is also true.
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 a messenger came to Ziklag and told me ‘Saul is dead!’ and he thought that the news that he was bringing to me was good news, I seized him and [commanded one of my soldiers to] kill him. That was the reward I gave to 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?
So because you two evil men murdered a man who is (innocent/has done nothing wrong) when he was sleeping on his bed in his own house, I will do something worse to you. I will surely [RHQ] get revenge on you two for murdering [MTY] him, and (wipe you/cause you to disappear) 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.
Then, following David’s orders, his soldiers killed the two men, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hung their bodies (OR, their hands and feet) [on a pole] near the pool at Hebron. But they took the head of Ishbosheth and buried it [respectfully] in the tomb of Abner, there at Hebron.
