2 Samweli 4

1 Ikawa Ishboshethi, mwana wa Sauli, aliposikia kwamba Abneri amekufa huko Hebroni, mikono yake ikadhoofika, na Israeli yote ikataabika.

and to hear: hear son: child Saul for to die Abner in/on/with Hebron and to slacken hand: themselves his and all Israel to dismay

2 Basi mwana wa Sauli alikuwa na watu wawili waliokuwa wakuu wa vikosi vya askari. Mmoja wao alikuwa Baana na mwingine alikuwa Rekabu, wana wa Rimoni Mbeerothi wa wana wa Benjamini(kwa maana Berothi ilihesabiwa kuwa sehemu ya Benjamini,

and two human ruler band to be son: child Saul name [the] one Baanah and name [the] second Rechab son: child Rimmon [the] Beerothite from son: descendant/people Benjamin for also Beeroth to devise: count upon Benjamin

3 na Waberothi walikimbilia Gitaimu na wamekuwa wakiishi pale hadi sasa).

and to flee [the] Beerothite Gittaim [to] and to be there to sojourn till [the] day: today [the] this

4 Basi Yonathani, mwana wa Sauli, alikuwa na mwana mlemavu wa miguu. Alikuwa na umri wa miaka mitano habari kuhusu Sauli na Yonathani ilipofika Yezreeli. Yaya wake akamchukua ili akimbie. Lakini wakati anakimbia, mwana wa Yonathani alianguka na akawa kirema. Jina lake aliitwa Mefiboshethi.

and to/for Jonathan son: child Saul son: child crippled foot son: aged five year to be in/on/with to come (in): come tidings Saul and Jonathan from Jezreel and to lift: bear him be faithful him and to flee and to be in/on/with to hurry she to/for to flee and to fall: fall and to limp and name his Mephibosheth

5 Hivyo wana wa Rimoni mbeerothi, Rekabu na Baana, wakasafiri mchana wakati wa jua kali mpaka nyumbani mwa Ishbothethi, yeye alikuwa amepumzika mchana.

and to go: went son: child Rimmon [the] Beerothite Rechab and Baanah and to come (in): come like/as heat [the] day to(wards) house: home Ish-bosheth Ish-bosheth and he/she/it to lie down: sleep [obj] bed [the] midday

6 Mwanamke aliyekuwa akililinda lango alisinzia wakati akipepeta ngano, Rekabu na Baana waliingia ndani polepole na wakampita.

and they(fem.) to come (in): come till midst [the] house: home to take: take wheat and to smite him to(wards) [the] belly and Rechab and Baanah brother: male-sibling his to escape

7 Hivyo walipoingia ndani ya nyumba, walimpiga na kumuua wakati amelala chumbani mwake. Kisha wakakata kichwa chake na wakaondoka nacho, wakasafiri njiani usiku kucha mpaka Araba.

and to come (in): come [the] house: home and he/she/it to lie down: lay down upon bed his in/on/with chamber bed his and to smite him and to die him and to turn aside: remove [obj] head his and to take: take [obj] head his and to go: went way: road [the] Arabah all [the] night

8 Wakaleta kichwa cha Ishboshethi kwa Daudi huko Hebroni, nao wakamwambia mfalme, “Tazama, hiki ni kichwa cha Ishboshethi mwana wa Sauli, adui yako, aliyekuwa akiutafuta uhai wako. Leo Yahwe amemlipia kisasi bwana wetu mfalme dhidi ya Sauli na uzao wake.”

and to come (in): bring [obj] head Ish-bosheth Ish-bosheth to(wards) David Hebron and to say to(wards) [the] king behold head Ish-bosheth Ish-bosheth son: child Saul enemy your which to seek [obj] soul: life your and to give: give LORD to/for lord my [the] king vengeance [the] day: today [the] this from Saul and from seed: children his

9 Daudi akawajibu Rekabu na Baana nduguye, wana wa Rimoni mbeerothi, akawambia, “Kama Yahwe aishivyo, aliyeuokoa uhai wangu na kila shida,

and to answer David [obj] Rechab and [obj] Baanah brother: male-sibling his son: child Rimmon [the] Beerothite and to say to/for them alive LORD which to ransom [obj] soul: life my from all distress

10 mtu mmoja aliponiambia, 'Tazama, Sauli amekufa,' akifikiri alileta habari njema, nilimkamata na kumwua huko Siklagi. Huo ndio ujira niliompa kwa habari yake.

for [the] to tell to/for me to/for to say behold to die Saul and he/she/it to be like/as to bear tidings in/on/with eye: appearance his and to grasp [emph?] in/on/with him and to kill him in/on/with Ziklag which to/for to give: give me to/for him good news

11 Namna gani, mtu mwovu anapomwua mwenye haki kitandi mwake ndani ya nyumba, Je nisiitake damu yake kutoka katika mikono yenu, na kuwaondoa duniani?”

also for human wicked to kill [obj] man righteous in/on/with house: home his upon bed his and now not to seek [obj] blood his from hand your and to burn: destroy [obj] you from [the] land: country/planet

12 Kisha Daudi akawaagiza vijana, nao wakawaua wakakata mikono na miguu yao na kuwatundika kando ya bwawa huko Hebroni. Lakini wakakichukua kichwa cha Ishboshethi na kukizika katika kaburi la Abneri katika Hebroni.

and to command David [obj] [the] youth and to kill them and to cut [obj] hand their and [obj] foot their and to hang upon [the] pool in/on/with Hebron and [obj] head Ish-bosheth Ish-bosheth to take: take and to bury in/on/with grave Abner in/on/with Hebron
