And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water dropped upon them out of heaven, and suffered neither the birds of the air to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.

Verse 10 is found in chapter 21 of 2 Samuel. Rizpah protects the bodies of the executed and prevents them from being defiled by birds and animals. Her persistent mourning moves David, who eventually gathers the remains of Saul, Jonathan, and the executed descendants to give them honorable burial. The chapter connects restitution, mourning, and memory. After these acts, God responds to prayers for the land. The conclusion links resolution of the conflict with the restoration of communal order.

Da nahm Rizpa, die Tochter Ajas, einen Sack und breitete ihn auf den Fels am Anfang der Ernte, bis daß Wasser von Himmel über sie troff, und ließ des Tages die Vögel des Himmels nicht auf ihnen ruhen noch des Nachts die Tiere des Feldes.
Tomando luego Rispa hija de Aja un saco, tendióselo sobre un peñasco, desde el principio de la siega hasta que llovió sobre ellos agua del cielo; y no dejó a ninguna ave del cielo asentarse sobre ellos de día, ni bestias del campo de noche.
Rizpa, hija de Aja, tomó una tela de duelo y la extendió para sí sobre la roca. Desde el comienzo de la cosecha hasta que cayó sobre ellos agua del cielo, no dejó que las aves del cielo se posaran sobre ellos de día ni que las fieras del campo se acercaran de noche.
Ritspa, fille d'Ajja, prit un sac et l'étendit sous elle contre le rocher, depuis le commencement de la moisson jusqu'à ce que la pluie du ciel tombât sur eux; et elle empêcha les oiseaux du ciel de s'approcher d'eux pendant le jour, et les bêtes des champs pendant la nuit.
E Rispa, figliuola di Aia, prese un panno grosso, e se lo stese sopra una pietra, dimorando quivi, dal principio della ricolta, finchè stillò dell’acqua dal cielo sopra essi; e non permetteva che alcuno uccello del cielo si posasse sopra loro di giorno, nè alcuna fiera della campagna di notte.
Então Rispa, filha de Aiá, tomou um pano de cilício, e estendeu-lho sobre uma penha, desde o princípio da sega até que a água do céu caiu sobre eles; e não deixou as aves do céu pousar sobre eles de dia, nem os animais do campo de noite.
愛亞 的女兒 利斯巴 用麻布舖在磐石上搭棚,從收割的開始直到天降雨在屍體上,她白日不許空中的飛鳥落在屍體上,夜間不讓田野的走獸前來。
