2 Samuel:Chapter 4

撒慕爾紀(下)	2 Samuel
¹撒烏耳的兒子依市巴耳，一聽見阿貝乃爾死在赫貝龍，就慌了手腳，全以色列大驚。	¹And Isboseth the son of Saul heard that Abner was slain in Hebron: and his hands were weakened, and all Israel was troubled.
²撒烏耳的兒子依市巴耳有兩個土匪頭目：一個名叫巴阿納，一個名叫勒加布，是本雅明子孫貝洛特人黎孟的兒子，──貝洛特被認為是本雅明族，	²Now the son of Saul had two men captains of his bands, the name of the one was Baana, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Remmon a Berothite of the children of Benjamin: for Beroth also was reckoned in Benjamin.
³因為貝洛特人逃到了基塔殷，僑居在那裏，直到今日。	³And the Berothites fled into Gethaim, and were sojourners there until that time.
⁴撒烏耳的兒子約納堂有個兒子雙足跛了，當撒烏耳與約納堂的凶訊由依次勒耳傳來時，他只有五歲，他的乳母帶他逃跑，在慌張逃跑中，他跌瘸了腿；他名叫默黎巴耳。	⁴And Jonathan the son of Saul bad a son that was lame of his feet: for he was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan from Jezrahel. And his nurse took him up and fled: and as she made haste to flee, he fell and became lame: and his name was Miphiboseth.
⁵貝洛特人黎孟的兒子勒加布和巴阿納出去，正當中午炎熱的時候，到了依市巴耳家裏，他正在床上睡午覺。	⁵And the sons of Remmon the Berothite, Rechab and Baana coming, went into the house of Isboseth in the heat of the day: and he was sleeping upon his bed at noon. And the doorkeeper of the house, who was cleansing wheat, was fallen asleep.
⁶看門的女僕在篩麥子，也打盹睡着了。此時勒加布和他兄弟巴阿納溜進去，	⁶And they entered into the house secretly taking ears of corn, and Rechab and Baana his brother stabbed him in the groin, and fled away.
⁷到了屋內，見依市巴耳正睡在臥室的床上，便將他打死，砍下他的頭，帶着頭，在阿辣巴的大路上走了一夜。	⁷For when they came into the house, be was sleeping upon his bed in a parlour, and they struck him and killed him: and taking away his head they went off by the way of the wilderness, walking all night.
⁸他們帶着依市巴耳的頭，到了赫貝龍見達味王說：「大王的仇人撒烏耳常謀害你的性命；看，他兒子依市巴耳的頭；上主今天為我主向撒烏耳和他的後代報了仇。」	⁸And they brought the head of Isboseth to David to Hebron: and they said to the king: Behold the head of Isboseth the son of Saul thy enemy who sought thy life: and the Lord hath revenged my lord the king this day of Saul, and of his seed.
⁹但是，達味答覆貝洛特人黎孟的兒子勒加布和他兄弟巴阿納說：「我指着那救我脫離了一切患難的永生上主起誓：	⁹But David answered Rechab, and Baana his brother, the sons of Remmon the Berothite, and said to them: As the Lord liveth, who hath delivered my soul out of all distress,
¹⁰那告訴我說：撒烏耳死了的，自以為是報喜訊，我卻拿住他，在漆刻拉格殺了，作為他報信的賞報；	¹⁰The man that told me, and said: Saul is dead, who thought he brought good tidings, I apprehended, and slew him in Siceleg, who should have been rewarded for his news.
¹¹那麼，現在這些匪徒，偷進人屋，殺了睡在床上的義人，我豈不更該從你們手中追討他的血債，將你們由地上剷除？」	¹¹How much more now when wicked men have slain an innocent man in his own house, upon his bed, shall I not require his blood at your hand, and take you away from the earth?
¹²達味遂命自己的僮僕，殺了他們，砍去他們的手足，掛在赫貝龍的池旁；至於依市巴耳的頭，叫人拿去葬在赫貝龍，阿貝乃爾的墳墓內。	¹²And David commanded his servants and they slew them: and cutting off their hands and feet, hanged them up over the pool in Hebron: but the head of Isboseth they took and buried in the sepulchre of Abner in Hebron.
