撒母耳记下 4
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
World English Bible
1扫罗 的儿子 伊施波设 听见 押尼珥 死在 希伯 ，手就发软； 以色列 众人也都惊惶。
1When Saul’s son heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands became feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled.
2扫罗 的儿子 伊施波设 有两个军长，一名 巴拿 ，一名 利甲 ，是 便雅悯 支派、 比录 人 临门 的儿子。 比录 也属 便雅悯 。
2Saul’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比录 人早先逃到 基他音 ，在那里寄居，直到今日。
3and the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and have lived as foreigners there until today).
4扫罗 的儿子 约拿单 有一个儿子名叫 米非波设 ，是瘸腿的。 扫罗 和 约拿单 死亡 的消息从 耶斯列 传到的时候，他才五岁。他乳母抱着他逃跑；因为跑得太急，孩子掉在地上，腿就瘸了。
4Now 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.
5一日， 比录 人 临门 的两个儿子 利甲 和 巴拿 出去，约在午热的时候到了 伊施波设 的家； 伊施波设 正睡午觉。
5The 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他们进了房子，假作要取麦子，就刺透 伊施波设 的肚腹，逃跑了。
6They 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他们进房子的时候， 伊施波设 正在卧房里躺在床上，他们将他杀死，割了他的首级，拿着首级在 亚拉巴 走了一夜，
7Now 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将 伊施波设 的首级拿到 希伯 见 大卫 王，说：「王的仇敌 扫罗 曾寻索王的性命。看哪，这是他儿子 伊施波设 的首级；耶和华今日为我主我王在 扫罗 和他后裔的身上报了仇。」
8They 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! The LORD has avenged my lord the king today of Saul and of his offspring.”
9大卫 对 比录 人 临门 的儿子 利甲 和他兄弟 巴拿 说：「我指着救我性命脱离一切苦难、永生的耶和华起誓：
9David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said to them, “As the LORD lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
10从前有人报告我说， 扫罗 死了，他自以为报好消息；我就拿住他，将他杀在 洗革拉 ，这就作了他报消息的赏赐。
10when 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何况恶人将义人杀在他的床上，我岂不向你们讨流他血的罪、从世上除灭你们呢？」
11How 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于是 大卫 吩咐少年人将他们杀了，砍断他们的手脚，挂在 希伯 的池旁，却将 伊施波设 的首级葬在 希伯 、 押尼珥 的坟墓里。
12David 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.
