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 heard 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,
Saul’s son had two men who were captains of raiding bands. The name of one was Baanah and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin (for Beeroth also is considered a part of Benjamin;
3 oo reer Bi'irodna waxay u carareen xagga Gitayim, oo halkaasay degganaayeen ilaa maantadan).
and the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and have lived as foreigners there until today).
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 who was lame in his feet. He was five years old when the news came about Saul and Jonathan out of Jezreel; and his nurse picked him up and fled. As she hurried to flee, he fell and became lame. 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.
The sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went out and came at about the heat of the day to the house of Ishbosheth as he took his rest at noon.
6 Oo gurigay soo galeen, sidii iyagoo sarreen qaadanaya; markaasay caloosha ka dooxeen. Markaasaa Reekaab iyo walaalkiis Bacanaah baxsadeen.
They came there into the middle of the house as though they would have fetched wheat, and they struck him in the body; and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped.
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.
Now when they came into the house as he lay on his bed in his bedroom, they struck him, killed him, beheaded him, and took his head, and went by the way of 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.
They brought the head of Ishbosheth to David to Hebron, and said to the king, “Behold, the head of Ishbosheth, the son of Saul, your enemy, who sought your life! Yahweh has avenged my lord the king today of Saul and of his offspring.”
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,
David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said to them, “As Yahweh lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
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 someone told me, ‘Behold, Saul is dead,’ thinking that he brought good news, I seized him and killed him 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 wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house on his bed, should I not now require his blood from your hand, and rid the earth of you?”
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.
David commanded his young men, and they killed them, cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged them up beside the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ishbosheth and buried it in Abner’s grave in Hebron.
