| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | And Isboseth the son of Saul heard that Abner was slain in Hebron: and his hands were weakened, and all Israel was troubled. | Audivit autem Isboseth filius Saul quod cecidisset Abner in Hebron: et dissolutae sunt manus eius, omnisque Israël perturbatus est. |
| 2 | Now 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. | Duo autem viri principes latronum erant filio Saul, nomen uni Baana, et nomen alteri Rechab, filii Remmon Berothitae de filiis Beniamin: siquidem et Beroth reputata est in Beniamin. |
| 3 | And the Berothites fled into Gethaim, and were sojourners there until that time. | Et fugerunt Berothitae in Gethaim, fueruntque ibi advenae usque ad tempus illud. |
| 4 | And 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. | Erat autem Ionathae filio Saul filius debilis pedibus: quinquennis enim fuit, quando venit nuntius de Saul et Ionatha ex Iezrahel. Tollens itaque eum nutrix sua, fugit: cumque festinaret ut fugeret, cecidit, et claudus effectus est: habuitque vocabulum Miphiboseth. |
| 5 | And 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. | Venientes igitur filii Remmon Berothitae, Rechab et Baana, ingressi sunt fervente die domum Isboseth: qui dormiebat super stratum suum meridie. Et ostiaria domus purgans triticum, obdormivit. |
| 6 | And they entered into the house secretly taking ears of corn, and Rechab and Baana his brother stabbed him in the groin, and fled away. | Ingressi sunt autem domum latenter assumentes spicas tritici, et percusserunt eum in inguine Rechab, et Baana frater eius, et fugerunt. |
| 7 | For 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. | Cum autem ingressi fuissent domum, ille dormiebat super lectum suum in conclavi, et percutientes interfecerunt eum: sublatoque capite eius, abierunt per viam deserti tota nocte, |
| 8 | And 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. | et attulerunt caput Isboseth ad David in Hebron: dixeruntque ad regem: Ecce caput Isboseth filii Saul inimici tui, qui quaerebat animam tuam: et dedit Dominus domino meo regi ultionem hodie de Saul, et de semine eius. |
| 9 | But 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, | Respondens autem David Rechab, et Baana fratri eius, filiis Remmon Berothitae, dixit ad eos: Vivit Dominus, qui eruit animam meam de omni angustia, |
| 10 | The 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. | quoniam eum qui annuntiaverat mihi, et dixerat: Mortuus est Saul: qui putabat se prospera nuntiare, tenui, et occidi eum in Siceleg, cui oportebat mercedem dare pro nuntio. |
| 11 | How 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? | Quanto magis nunc cum homines impii interfecerunt virum innoxium in domo sua, super lectum suum, non quaeram sanguinem eius de manu vestra, et auferam vos de terra? |
| 12 | And 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. | Praecepit itaque David pueris suis, et interfecerunt eos: praecidentesque manus et pedes eorum, suspenderunt eos super piscinam in Hebron: caput autem Isboseth tulerunt, et sepelierunt in sepulchro Abner in Hebron. |
