WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Cuando Isboset hijo de Saúl supo que Abner había muerto en Hebrón, se acobardó, y sus partidarios se llenaron de temor.
1 When Saul’s son heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands became feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled.
2 Isboset tenía a su servicio a Baná y a Recab, que habían comandado bandas de ladrones. Baná y a Recab eran hijos de Rimón el berotita; por lo tanto eran benjaminitas, pues el pueblo de Berot era considerado como parte de la tribu de Benjamín, aunque sus habitantes habían huido a Guitayin, y se habían quedado viviendo allí.
2 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 Not in this translation
3 and the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and have lived as foreigners there until today).
4 (También había un nieto del rey Saúl llamado Mefiboset, hijo del príncipe Jonatán, que era lisiado de los pies. Tenía cinco años cuando Saúl y Jonatán murieron en Jezrel. Cuando esta mala noticia llegó a la capital, la niñera agarró a Mefiboset y huyó, pero se le cayó mientras corrían, y el niño quedó cojo).
4 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 Un día Recab y Baná, los hijos de Rimón el berotita, llegaron al hogar del rey Isboset. Era mediodía y este tomaba una siesta.
5 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 Entonces, con el pretexto de ir a sacar una bolsa de trigo, se metieron al cuarto donde dormía Isboset, lo mataron a puñaladas y le cortaron la cabeza. Luego anduvieron toda aquella noche por el Arabá, llevando consigo la cabeza de Isboset.
6 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 Not in this translation
7 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 Al llegar a Hebrón, se la entregaron a David, al tiempo que le decían: ―¡Mire, mi rey! Esta es la cabeza de Isboset, el hijo de su enemigo Saúl, el que trató de matarlo. Hoy el Señor le ha dado la venganza sobre el rey Saúl y toda su familia.
8 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 Pero David les contestó: ―¡Juro delante del Señor, que me salvó de todos mis enemigos, que ustedes morirán!
9 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 La recompensa que le di a aquel que me dijo: “Saúl ha muerto”, pensando que me traía una buena noticia, fue apresarlo y hacerlo matar en Siclag.
10 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 Si eso hice con ese hombre, ¿creen ustedes que los voy a perdonar? ¡Ustedes pagarán con su propia vida el haber dado muerte a un hombre bueno, mientras dormía tranquilo en su casa! ¡Me vengaré de ustedes eliminándolos de este mundo!
11 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 David ordenó que les dieran muerte, y así lo hicieron. Les cortaron las manos y los pies y colgaron sus cuerpos cerca del pozo en Hebrón. Luego tomaron la cabeza de Isboset y la sepultaron en el sepulcro de Abner, en Hebrón.
12 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.
