< 2 Samuel 4 >

1 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).
Idi nangngeg ni Isboset a putot ni Saul, a natayen ni Abner idiay Hebron, kimmapsut dagiti imana ken nariribukan ti entero nga Israel.
2 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.
Ita, ti putot ni Saul ket addaan iti dua a tao a kapitan dagiti bunggoy dagiti soldado. Ti nagan ti maysa ket Baana ken ti maysa ket Recab, putot ni Rimmon a Beerorita kadagiti tattao ti Benjamin. (ta ti Beerot ket maibilang a paset iti Benjamin,
3 But the people of Beeroth had fled to Gittaim [town], and they still live there.
ket nagtalaw dagiti Berorita a nagturong idiay Gittaim ket nagnaeddan sadiay agingga iti daytoy a tiempo).
4 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.
Ita, ni Jonatan a putot ni Saul ket adda maysa a putotna a pilay dagiti sakana. Lima ti tawenna idi dimteng ti damag manipud iti Jezreel maipapan kada Saul ken Jonatan. Innala isuna ti mangay-aywan kenkuana tapno aglibasda. Ngem kabayatan ti panagtartarayna, natnagna ti putot ni Jonatan ket nagbalin a pilay. Mefiboset ti naganna.
5 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.
Isu a nagdaliasat iti kapudpudotan ti aldaw dagiti annak ni Remmon a Beerorita, da Recab ken Baana a nagturong iti balay ni Isboset, kabayatan iti panagin-inanana iti tengnga iti aldaw.
6 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.
Nairedep ti babai nga agbanbantay iti ridaw bayat iti panagtataepna iti trigo, ket siuulimek a simrek da Recab ken Baana ket nalabsanda isuna.
7 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.
Ket kalpasan a nakastrekda iti balay, dinarupda ni Isboset ket pinatayda isuna a nakaidda iti papagna iti siledna. Ket insinada ti ulona ken innalada daytoy, nagdaldaliasatda iti dalan iti agpatpatnag a nagturong iti Araba.
8 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!”
Inyegda ti ulo ni Isboset kenni David idiay Hebron, ket kinunada iti ari, “Kitaem, daytoy ti ulo ni Isboset a putot ni Saul, a kabusormo, a nagpanggep iti dakes iti biagmo. Ita nga aldaw, imbales ni Yahweh ti apomi nga ari maibusor kenni Saul ken kadagiti kaputotanna.”
9 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.
Sinungbatan ni David da Recab ken Baana a kabsatna, a putot ni Remmon a Beerorita; kinunana kadakuada, “Iti nagan ni Yahweh nga adda iti agnanayon, nga isu ti nangiyaon iti biagko manipud iti amin a pakariribukan,
10 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!
idi adda maysa a nangibaga kaniak, 'Kitaem, natayen ni Saul,' nga impagarupna a naimbag a damag ti idandanonna, tiniliwko isuna ket pinatayko idiay Siklag. Dayta ti gunggona nga impaayko kenkuana iti impadamagna.
11 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!”
Anianto ketdin, no pinatay dagiti nadangkes a lallaki ti awan basolna a tao iti bukodna a balay iti bukodna a papag, rumbeng kadi a saanko ita a sapulen ti darana kadagiti imayo, ket pukawenkayo iti daga?”
12 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.
Ket, nangbilin ni David kadagiti agtutubo a lallaki, ket pinatayda ida ken pinutedda dagiti ima ken saksakada sada imbitin ida iti abay ti bubon idiay Hebron. Ngem innalada ti ulo ni Isboset ket inkalida iti tanem ni Abner idiay Hebron.
