¹And when Saul's son heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands were feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled.

¹ Waato kaŋ Is-boset, Sawulu ize maa baaru kaŋ i ne Abner bu Hebron ra, kal a gaa yay, Israyla kulu mo kankam.

²And Saul's son had two men that were captains of bands: the name of the one was Baanah, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon a Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin: (for Beeroth also was reckoned to Benjamin.

² Is-boset, Sawulu ize gonda marga jine boro hinka. Afo maa Baana, afa mo maa Rekab, Rimmon Beyerot borey izeyaŋ, Benyamin kunda ra. Zama i ga lasaabu kaŋ Beyerot wo Benyamin do haray wane no.

³And the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and were sojourners there until this day.)

³ Beyerot borey binde zuru ka koy Jittayim. I goono ga yawtaray goray te noodin hala hõ.

⁴And Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son that was lame of his feet. He was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan out of Jezreel, and his nurse took him up, and fled: and it came to pass, as she made haste to flee, that he fell, and became lame. And his name was Mephibosheth.

⁴ (Amma Yonata, Sawulu ize gonda ize fo kaŋ cey fanaka. A jiiri gu waato kaŋ Sawulu nda Yonata buuyaŋ baaru kaa ka fun Yezreyel. A saajawkwa mo n'a sambu ka zuru nd'a. A ciya binde, cahãyaŋ zura gaa se, kala izo fun ka kaŋ ka te fanaka. A maa ga ti Mefiboset.)

⁵And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went, and came about the heat of the day to the house of Ishbosheth, who lay on a bed at noon.

⁵ Rimmon, Beyerot bora izey mo kaŋ ga ti Rekab da Baana, i koy Is-boset kwaara wayna koroŋyaŋ alwaate cine. A goono ga fulanzam zaari bindi.

⁶And they came thither into the midst of the house, as though they would have fetched wheat; and they smote him under the fifth rib: and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped.

⁶ I kaa noodin, hala windo bindi ra, danga day alkama no i ga ba ka sambu. I na Is-boset kar a bina do haray. Rekab da nga nya izo Baana binde zuru ka yana.

⁷For when they came into the house, he lay on his bed in his bedchamber, and they smote him, and slew him, and beheaded him, and took his head, and gat them away through the plain all night.

⁷ Waato kaŋ i furo windo ra, a go noodin ga kani nga dima boŋ, kaniyaŋ fuwo ra. I n'a kar ka wi. I n'a boŋo dagu ka kaa a gaa. I dira da boŋo ka Gooru Beero fonda gana ka hanna ka dira.

⁸And they brought the head of Ishbosheth unto David to Hebron, and said to the king, Behold the head of Ishbosheth the son of Saul thine enemy, which sought thy life; and the LORD hath avenged my lord the king this day of Saul, and of his seed.

⁸ I kande Is-boset boŋo Dawda do Hebron. I ne bonkoono se: «Ni ibara Sawulu kaŋ na ni fundo ceeci, a izo Is-boset boŋo neeya. Rabbi mo na fansa sambu koyo ay bonkoono se, Sawulu nda nga banda borey boŋ hunkuna.»

⁹And David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said unto them, As the LORD liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity,

⁹ Amma Dawda tu Rekab da nga nya izo Baana, Rimmon Beyerot bora izey se ka ne: «Ay ze da Rabbi fundikoono, nga kaŋ n'ay fundo fansa ay kankami kulu ra.

¹⁰When one told me, saying, Behold, Saul is dead, thinking to have brought good tidings, I took hold of him, and slew him in Ziklag, who thought that I would have given him a reward for his tidings:

¹⁰ Saaya kaŋ boro fo ci ay se ka ne: ‹Guna, Sawulu bu,› a tammahã hala baaru hanno no nga goono ga kande ay se, kal ay n'a di k'a wi Ziklag ra. A banando kaŋ ay n'a no nooya a baaro sabbay se.

¹¹How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house upon his bed? shall I not therefore now require his blood of your hand, and take you away from the earth?

¹¹ Sanku fa sohõ, kaŋ boro laaley na adilante wi nga windo ra nga dima boŋ, manti kal ay m'a kuro alhakku ceeci araŋ kambey ra sohõ, ay m'araŋ kaa ndunnya ra?»

¹²And David commanded his young men, and they slew them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged them up over the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ishbosheth, and buried it in the sepulchre of Abner in Hebron.

¹² Dawda binde na nga arwasey lordi. I na borey din mo wi k'i cey d'i kambey dumbu ka kaa i gaa. I n'i sarku bango me gaa Hebron ra. Amma i na Is-boset boŋo sambu ka fiji Abner saara ra, noodin Hebron ra.
