< 2 Samuel 12 >

1 Unya gipadala ni Yahweh si Natan ngadto kang David. Miadto siya kaniya ug miingon, “Adunay duha ka tawo sa siyudad. Ang usa ka tawo adunahan apan ang usa ka tawo kabos.
Then the Lord sent Nathan to David. And when he had come to him, he said to him: “Two men were in one city: one wealthy, and the other poor.
2 Ang adunahan adunay daghang panon sa mga karnero ug panon sa mga baka,
The wealthy man had very many sheep and oxen.
3 apan walay gayoy gipanag-iya ang tawong kabos gawas sa baye nga karnero, kung asa iya kining gipalit, gipakaon, ug gipadako. Midako kini uban kaniya ug uban sa iyang mga anak. Nakigsalo kaniya ang karnero ug miinom sa iyang kaugalingong kupa, ug natulog kini sa iyang mga bukton ug gipakasama niya kini sa iyang anak nga babaye.
But the poor man had nothing at all, except one little sheep, which he had bought and nourished. And she had grown up before him, together with his children, eating from his bread, and drinking from his cup, and sleeping in his bosom. And she was like a daughter to him.
4 Usa ka adlaw niana adunay miabot nga bisita sa tawong adunahan, apan dili buot ang tawong adunahan nga mokuha ug mananap gikan sa iyang kaugalingong panon sa mga karnero ug panon sa mga baka aron sa pag-andam ug pagkaon sa iyang bisita. Hinuon gikuha niya ang bayeng karnero sa tawong kabos ug giluto niya kini alang sa iyang bisita.”
But when a certain traveler had come to the wealthy man, neglecting to take from his own sheep and oxen, so that he might present a feast for that traveler, who had come to him, he took the sheep of the poor man, and he prepared a meal for the man who had come to him.”
5 Nanginit sa kasuko si David batok sa tawong adunahan, ug napungot siya kang Natan, “Ingon nga buhi si Yahweh, ang tawo nga nagbuhat niini angay nga mamatay.
Then David’s indignation was enraged exceedingly against that man, and he said to Nathan: “As the Lord lives, the man who has done this is a son of death.
6 Kinahanglan nga bayaran niya ang karnero sa upat ka pilo tungod kay gibuhat niya kini, ug tungod kay wala siyay kaluoy ngadto sa tawong kabos.”
He shall restore the sheep fourfold, because he did this word, and he did not take pity.”
7 Unya miingon si Natan kang David, “Ikaw kadtong tawhana! Si Yahweh, Ang Dios sa Israel nag-ingon, 'Gidihogan ko ikaw isip hari sa Israel, ug giluwas ko ikaw gikan sa kamot ni Saul.
But Nathan said to David: “You are that man. Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: ‘I anointed you as king over Israel, and I rescued you from the hand of Saul.
8 Gihatag ko kanimo ang panimalay sa imong agalon, ug ang mga asawa sa imong agalon diha si imong mga bukton. Gihatag ko usab kanimo ang panimalay sa Israel ug sa Juda. Apan kung gamay ra kaayo kana, hatagan ko pa ikaw ug daghan pang mga butang isip dugang.
And I gave the house of your lord to you, and the wives of your lord into your bosom. And I gave the house of Israel and of Judah to you. And as if these things were small, I shall add much greater things to you.
9 Busa nganong gisupak mo man ang mga sugo ni Yahweh, ug nagbuhat ka ug daotan sa iyang panan-aw? Gipatay mo si Urias nga Hitihanon pinaagi sa espada ug gikuha mo ang iyang asawa aron mahimo nimong kaugalingong asawa. Gipatay nimo siya pinaagi sa espada sa mga kasundalohan sa Ammon.
Therefore, why have you despised the word of the Lord, so that you did evil in my sight? You have struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword. And you have taken his wife as a wife for yourself. And you have put him to death with the sword of the sons of Ammon.
10 Busa karon dili mobiya ang espada sa imong panimalay, tungod kay misupak ka kanako ug gikuha nimo ang asawa ni Urias nga Hitihanon ingon nga imong asawa.'
For this reason, the sword shall not withdraw from your house, even perpetually, because you have despised me, and you have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite, so that she may be your wife.’
11 Miingon si Yahweh, 'Tan-awa, ipahamtang ko ang kadaot batok kanimo gikan sa imong kaugalingong panimalay. Atubangan sa imong kaugalingong mga mata, kuhaon ko ang imong mga asawa ug ihatag ngadto sa imong silingan, ug makigdulog siya sa imong mga asawa sa adlawng dako.
And so, thus says the Lord: ‘Behold, I will raise up over you an evil from your own house. And I will take your wives away before your eyes, and I will give them to your neighbor. And he will sleep with your wives in the sight of this sun.
12 Kay nagbuhat ka ug sala sa tago, apan buhaton ko kining tanan sa atubangan sa tibuok Israel, sa adlaw.”
For you acted secretly. But I will do this word in the sight of all of Israel, and in the sight of the sun.’”
13 Unya miingon si David ngadto kang Natan, “Nakasala ako batok kang Yahweh.” Mitubag si Natan ngadto kang David, “Gipasaylo usab ni Yahweh ang imong sala. Dili ka pagapatyon.
And David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the Lord.” And Nathan said to David: “The Lord has also taken away your sin. You shall not die.
14 Hinuon, tungod niining imong gibuhat nga pagsupak kang Yahweh, mamatay gayod ang bata nga gipakatawo gikan kanimo.”
Yet truly, because you have given occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme, because of this word, the son who was born to you: dying he shall die.”
15 Unya mibiya si Natan ug mipauli sa iyang balay. Gipahamtangan ni Yahweh ang anak ni David nga gihimugso sa asawa ni Urias, ug nasakit kini pag-ayo.
And Nathan returned to his own house. And the Lord struck the little one, whom the wife of Uriah had borne to David, and he was despaired of.
16 Midangop si David kang Yahweh alang sa iyang anak nga lalaki. Nagpuasa si David ug misulod sa iyang lawak ug naghigda sa salog tibuok gabii.
And David begged the Lord on behalf of the little one. And David fasted strictly, and entering alone, he lay upon the ground.
17 Mitindog tupad kaniya ang mga kadagkoan sa iyang balay, aron patindogon siya gikan sa salog, apan wala siya motindog, ug wala siya mokaon uban kanila.
Then the elders of his house came, urging him to rise up from the ground. And he was not willing, nor would he eat a meal with them.
18 Nahitabo sa ikapito nga adlaw nga namatay ang bata. Nangahadlok ang mga sulugoon ni David nga isulti kaniya nga patay na ang bata, kay nag-ingon sila, “Tan-awa, sa dihang buhi pa ang bata nakigsulti kita kaniya, ug wala siya mamati kanato. Tingali ug unsa ang iyang buhaton sa iyang kaugalingon kung isulti nato kaniya nga patay na ang bata?!”
Then, on the seventh day, it happened that the infant died. And the servants of David were afraid to report to him that the little one had died. For they said: “Behold, when the child was still alive, we were speaking to him, but he would not listen to our voice. How much more will he afflict himself, if we tell him that the boy is dead?”
19 Apan sa dihang nakita ni David nga naghinunghunganay ang iyang mga sulugoon, nasabtan ni David nga patay na ang bata. Miingon siya sa iyang mga sulugoon, “Patay na ba ang bata?” Mitubag sila, “Patay na ang bata.”
But when David had seen his servants whispering, he realized that the infant had died. And he said to his servants, “Is the child dead?” And they responded to him, “He is dead.”
20 Unya mitindog si David gikan sa salog ug naligo, gidihogan niya ang iyang kaugalingon, ug nag-ilis sa iyang bisti. Miadto siya sa tabernakulo ni Yahweh ug nagsimba didto, ug unya mibalik siya sa iyang kaugalingong palasyo. Sa dihang nangayo siya ug pagkaon, giandaman nila siya, ug mikaon siya.
Therefore, David rose up from the ground. And he washed and anointed himself. And when he had changed his clothing, he entered the house of the Lord, and he worshiped. Then he went to his own house, and he asked them to place bread before him, and he ate.
21 Unya miingon ang iyang mga sulugoon, “Nganong gibuhat mo man kini? Nagpuasa ka ug naghilak alang sa bata samtang buhi pa siya, apan sa namatay na ang bata, mitindog ka ug mikaon.”
But his servants said to him: “What is this word that you have done? You fasted and were weeping, on behalf of the infant, while he was still alive. But when the boy was dead, you arose and ate bread.”
22 Mitubag si David, “Nagpuasa ako ug mihilak samtang buhi pa ang bata. Miingon ako, 'Kinsa may nakahibalo nga tingali ug kaluy-an ako ni Yahweh, ug buhion niya ang bata?'
And he said: “While he was yet alive, I fasted and wept on behalf of the infant. For I said: Who knows if the Lord may perhaps give him to me, and let the infant live?
23 Apan karon patay na siya, busa nganong magpuasa paman ako? Mabuhi ko pa ba siya pag-usab? Moadto ako kaniya, apan dili na siya mobalik pa kanako.”
But now that he is dead, why should I fast? Would I be able to bring him back anymore? Instead, I will go to him. Yet truly, he will not return to me.”
24 Gihupay ni David si Batseba nga iyang asawa, ug miadto kaniya si David ug nakigdulog kaniya. Human niini nanganak siya ug batang lalaki, ug ginganlag Solomon ang maong bata. Gihigugma siya ni Yahweh
And David consoled his wife Bathsheba. And entering to her, he slept with her. And she bore a son, and he called his name Solomon, and the Lord loved him.
25 ug nagpadala siya ug pulong pinaagi kang Natan nga propeta aron nga nganlan siya ug Jedidia, tungod kay gihigugma siya ni Yahweh.
And he sent, by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and he called his name, Beloved of the Lord, because the Lord loved him.
26 Karon nakig-away si Joab batok sa Rabba, ang harianong siyudad sa katawhan sa Ammon, ug nailog niya ang ilang dalangpanan.
And then Joab fought against Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, and he fought outside the royal city.
27 Busa nagpadala ug mga mensahero si Joab ngadto kang David ug miingon, 'Nakig-away ako batok sa Rabba, ug nailog ko ang tinubdan sa tubig sa maong siyudad.
And Joab sent messengers to David, saying: “I have struggled against Rabbah, and so the City of Waters will soon be seized.
28 Karon tigoma ang nahibiling mga kasundalohan ug pagkampo batok niining siyudara ug kuhaa kini, tungod kay kung ako ang makailog niini nga siyudad, panganlan kini sunod kanako.”
Now therefore, gather the remaining portion of the people together, and besiege the city and take it. Otherwise, when the city will have been laid waste by me, the victory will be ascribed to my name.”
29 Busa gitigom ni David ang tibuok kasundalohan ug miadto sa Rabba; nakig-away siya sa maong siyudad ug nailog niya kini.
And so David gathered together all the people, and he set out against Rabbah. And after he had fought, he seized it.
30 Gikuha ni David ang korona nga anaa sa ulo sa hari—nagtimbang kini ug 34 ka kilo nga bulawan, ug adunay bililhong bato niini. Gibutang ang korona sa ulo ni David. Unya gidala niya ang mga inilog sa maong siyudad nga hilabihan kadaghan.
And he took the crown of their king from his head. The weight of it was a talent of gold, having the most precious gems. And it was placed upon the head of David. Moreover, he carried away the spoils of the city, which were very many.
31 Gidala pagawas ni David ang mga katawhan nga anaa sa maong siyudad ug gipugos sila sa pagtrabaho gamit ang mga gabas, puthaw nga mga piko, ug mga atsa; gipabuhat usab niya sila ug mga tisa. Gipugos ni David sa pagtrabaho ang tanang katawhan sa siyudad sa Ammon. Unya mibalik si David uban ang iyang mga kasundalohan didto sa Jerusalem.
Also, bringing forth its people, he sawed them, and he drove over them with iron wagons, and he divided them with knives, and he dragged them through brick kilns. So he did to all the citizens of the sons of Ammon. And David returned, with the entire army, to Jerusalem.
