< 2 Samuel 4 >

1 Now, when Ish-bosheth son of Saul heard that Abner had died in Hebron, his hands became feeble, —and, all Israel, were dismayed.
Alò, lè Isch-Boscheth, fis a Saül la, te tande ke Abner te mouri Hébron, li te pèdi kouraj e tout Israël te twouble.
2 And two men, captains of bands, pertained to Ish-bosheth son of Saul—the name of the one, was Baanah, and, the name of the other, Rechab—sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the sons of Benjamin, —for, even Beeroth, used to be reckoned unto Benjamin;
Fis a Saül la te gen de mesye ki te kòmandan a bann sòlda yo. Non a youn se te Baana e lòt la te Récab, fis a Rimmon Beéroth yo, ki apatyen a fis Benjamin yo (paske Beéroth te konsidere kòm yon pati nan Benjamin.
3 and the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, —and have been sojourners there, until this day.
Tout Beyewotyen yo te sove ale pou rive Guitthaïm e te rete la kòm etranje jis rive jodi a).
4 And, Jonathan, son of Saul, had a son, lame of his feet, —five years old, was he, when tidings came in of Saul and Jonathan from Jezreel, so his nurse took him up, and fled, and it came to pass, when she started up to flee, that he fell and was lamed, and, his name, was, Mephibosheth.
Alò, Jonathan, fis a Saül la, te gen yon fis ki te kokobe nan pye li. Li te konsa akoz lè li te gen laj a senk ane lè rapò a Saül avèk Jonathan te rive soti Jizréel, fanm nouris li an te pran fis la pou te sove ale. Epi nan kouri sòti, li te tonbe e te vin kokobe. Non li se te Méphiboscheth.
5 So then the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, took their journey and came in, about the heat of the day, unto the house of Ish-bosheth, —when, he, was lying on his noonday couch;
Konsa fis a Rimmon yo, Beyewotyen an, Récab, avèk Banna te pati pou te rive lakay Isch-Boscheth nan chalè lajounen an pandan li t ap pran repo midi a.
6 and, thither, entered they as fro as the middle of the house, to fetch wheat, and they smote him in the belly, —and, Rechab and Baanah his brother, escaped.
Yo te rive nan mitan kay la kòmsi yo t ap pran ble e yo te frape li nan vant. Epi Récab avèk Banna, frè li yo te chape ale.
7 Thus they entered the house when, he, was lying on his bed, in his sleeping-chamber, and smote him, and slew him, and beheaded him, —and took his head, and journeyed by way of the waste plain all the night;
Alò, lè yo te vin rive anndan kay la, pandan li te kouche sou kabann li nan chanm a dòmi li an, yo te frape li e te touye li. Yo te koupe tèt li e yo te vwayaje ak li nan chemen Araba a tout nwit lan.
8 and brought in the head of Ish-bosheth unto David, at Hebron, and said unto the king, Lo! the head of Ish-bosheth son of Saul, thine enemy, who sought thy life: so hath Yahweh given to my lord the king, avengement this day, on Saul and on his seed.
Konsa, yo te mennen tèt a Isch-Boscheth kote David nan Hébron e yo te di a wa a: “Men gade, tèt a Isch-Boscheth, fis a Saül la, lènmi pa w la, ki te chache lavi ou a. Konsa, nan jou sa a, SENYÈ a te bay mèt mwen an, wa a, vanjans sou Saül avèk desandan li yo.”
9 Then David responded to Rechab and Baanah his brother, sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said unto them, —By the life of Yahweh, who hath redeemed my soul out of all distress,
David te reponn Récab avèk Banna, frè li, fis a Rimmon yo, Beyewotyen an, e te di yo: “Jan SENYÈ a viv la, ki te peye racha lavi m soti nan tout twoub yo,
10 when he that brought tidings to me, saying, Lo! Saul is dead, though, he, was as one that bringeth good tidings, in his own eyes, yet I seized him, and slew him in Ziklag, —which was how I gave him reward for his tidings:
lè yon moun te pale m e te di: ‘Gade, Saül mouri’ e te panse ke se bòn nouvèl ke li te pote, mwen te sezi li e te touye li Tsiklag, kòm rekonpans pou nouvèl la.
11 how much more, when, lawless men, have slain a righteous person, in his own house, upon his bed? …Now, therefore, must I not require his blood at your hands, and so consume you, out of the earth?
Alò, konbyen anplis, lè moun mechan yo vin touye yon nonm ladwati nan pwòp kay li sou kabann li! Èske se pa ke m ta oblije mande san li nan men nou e rache nou sou fas tè a?”
12 David therefore commanded the young men, and they slew them, and cut off their hands, and their feet, and hanged them up over the pool, in Hebron, —but, the head of Ish-bosheth, took they, and buried in the grave of Abner, in Hebron.
Alò, David te pase lòd sou jennonm yo. Yo te touye yo, yo te koupe men yo avèk pye yo, e te pann yo akote sous Hébron an. Men yo te pran tèt a Isch Boscheth e yo te antere li nan tonm Abner a nan Hébron.
