2 Samuel 4

KING JAMES BIBLE	BIBLIA
1 And when Saul's son heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands were feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled.	1 Cuando Isbaal, hijo de Saúl, supo que había muerto Abner en Hebrón, desfallecieron sus manos y todo Israel quedo consternado.
2 And 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 Estaban con Isbaal, hijo de Saúl, dos hombres, jefes de banda, uno llamado Baaná y el otro Rekab, hijos de Rimmón de Beerot, benjaminitas, porque también Beerot se considera de Benjamín.
3 And the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and were sojourners there until this day.)	3 Los habitantes de Beerot habían huido a Guittáyim, donde se han quedado hasta el día de hoy como forasteros residentes.
4 And 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 Tenía Jonatán, hijo de Saúl, un hijo tullido de pies. Tenía cinco años cuando llegó de Yizreel la noticia de lo de Saúl y Jonatán; su nodriza le tomó y huyó, pero con la prisa de la fuga, cayó y se quedó cojo. Se llamaba Meribbaal.
5 And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went, and came about the heat of the day to the house of Ish-bosheth, who lay on a bed at noon.	5 Se pusieron en camino Rekab y Baaná, hijos de Rimmón de Beerot, y llegaron a casa de Isbaal con el calor del día, cuando dormía la siesta.
6 And 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 Entraron en la casa. La portera se había dormido mientras limpiaba el trigo. Rekab y su hermano Baaná se deslizaron cautelosamente
7 For 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 y entraron en la casa; estaba Isbaal acostado en su lecho, en su dormitorio; le hirieron y le mataron; luego le cortaron la cabeza y tomándola caminaron toda la noche por la ruta de la Arabá.
8 And they brought the head of Ish-bosheth unto David to Hebron, and said to the king, Behold the head of Ish-bosheth 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 Llevaron la cabeza de Isbaal a David, en Hebrón, y dijeron al rey: «Aquí tienes la cabeza de Isbaal, hijo de Saúl, tu enemigo, el que buscó tu muerte. Hoy ha concedido Yahveh a mi señor el rey venganza sobre Saúl y sobre su descendencia».
9 And 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 Respondió David a Rekab y a su hermano Baaná, hijos de Rimmón de Beerot, y les dijo: «¡Vive Yahveh, que ha librado mi alma de toda angustia!
10 When 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 Al que me anunció que Saúl había muerto, creyendo que me daba buena noticia, le agarré y ordené matarle en Siquelag dándole este pago por su buena noticia;
11 How 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 ¿cuánto más ahora que hombres malvados han dado muerte a un hombre justo en su casa y en su lecho no os voy a pedir cuenta de su sangre, exterminándoos de la tierra?»
12 And 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 Ish-bosheth, and buried it in the sepulchre of Abner in Hebron.	12 Y David dio una orden a sus muchachos, que los mataron, les cortaron las manos y los pies y los colgaron junto a la alberca de Hebrón. Tomaron la cabeza de Isbaal y la sepultaron en el sepulcro de Abner, en Hebrón.
