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.
Yahweh [told the prophet Nathan what David had done, and he] sent Nathan to tell [this story to] David: “[I heard about] two men [who] were living in a certain city. One was rich and the other was poor.
2 Ang adunahan adunay daghang panon sa mga karnero ug panon sa mga baka,
The rich man owned a lot of cattle and sheep.
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 only one little female lamb, which he had bought. He raised the lamb, and it grew up with his children. He would give the lamb some of his own food and let it drink from his cup. He let the lamb sleep in his arms. The lamb 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.”
[One day] a visitor came to [visit] the rich man. The rich man did not want to take one of his own animals [and kill it] to prepare a meal for the visitor. So instead, he stole the poor man’s lamb [and killed it] and prepared a meal for his visitor.”
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.
[When] David [heard that, he] was very angry about [what] the rich man [had done]. He said to Nathan, “I solemnly declare that the man who did that should be executed!
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.”
But before he is executed, he should pay back to the poor man four lambs for doing this, and for not having pity [on the poor man].”
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.
Nathan said to David, “You are the man [I have been talking about]! And this is what Yahweh, the God we Israelis [worship], says to you: ‘I appointed you to be king of Israel, after having rescued you from 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.
I gave you his palace and his wives. I caused you to become the king to rule Israel and Judah. If [you had told me that] you were not content with what I gave you, I would have given you twice as much!
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.
So why have you despised my commandment [about not committing adultery]? You have done what I consider to be very evil! You have arranged for Uriah to be killed in a battle by the Ammon people-group’s soldiers, and you have taken his wife to be your wife!
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.'
You have despised me, and have taken Uriah’s wife to be your wife. So for many generations some of your descendants will die violently. [MTY, PRS]
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.
I solemnly declare to you that I will cause someone from your own family to bring trouble to you. I will take your wives and give them to him, and he will have sexual relations with them in the daytime, where everyone can see it, and you will know all about it.
12 Kay nagbuhat ka ug sala sa tago, apan buhaton ko kining tanan sa atubangan sa tibuok Israel, sa adlaw.”
What you did, you did secretly, but what I will cause to happen, everyone in Israel will be able to see it [or know about it]. [IDM]’”
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.
David replied, “I have sinned against Yahweh.” Nathan said to David, “Yahweh has forgiven you for your sin: You will not die [because of this sin].
14 Hinuon, tungod niining imong gibuhat nga pagsupak kang Yahweh, mamatay gayod ang bata nga gipakatawo gikan kanimo.”
But, you have shown contempt for Yahweh by doing this. So, your baby will 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.
Then Nathan went home. Then Yahweh caused the baby t o become very sick, the one that Uriah’s wife had given birth to.
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.
So David prayed to God that the child [would not die]. He (fasted/abstained from food), and he went into [the room where he slept] and lay all night on the floor.
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.
[The next morning] his advisors stood around him and urged him to get up. But he would not get up, and he would not eat any food 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?!”
One week later the baby died. David’s servants were afraid to tell that to David. They said [to each other], “Hey, while the baby was still alive, we talked to him, but he would not answer us. Now, if we tell him that the baby is dead [RHQ], he may do something to harm himself!”
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 saw that his servants were whispering something to each other, he realized that the baby must be dead. So he asked them, “Is the baby dead?” They replied, “Yes, 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.
Then David got up from the floor. He bathed himself, put lotions on his body, and put on other clothes, Then he went into Yahweh’s Sacred Tent and worshiped Yahweh. Then he went home. He asked his servants for some food. They gave him some, and he ate it.
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.”
Then his servants said to him, “We do not understand [RHQ] why you have done this! While the baby was still alive, you cried for him and refused to eat anything. But now that the baby has died, [you are not crying any more!] You got up and ate some food!”
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?'
David replied, “While the baby was still alive, I fasted and cried. I thought, ‘Who knows? Yahweh may be merciful to me and not allow the baby to die’.
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 the baby is dead. So (there is no reason for me to (fast/abstain from eating food) any more./why should I (fast/abstain from eating food) any more?) [RHQ] (Can I bring him back to me?/I certainly cannot bring him back to me!) [RHQ] [Some day] I will go to where he is, but 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
Then David comforted his wife, Bathsheba. Then he (slept/had sexual relations) with her, and she [became pregnant again and] gave birth to another son. David named that son Solomon. Yahweh loved that little boy.
25 ug nagpadala siya ug pulong pinaagi kang Natan nga propeta aron nga nganlan siya ug Jedidia, tungod kay gihigugma siya ni Yahweh.
He told the prophet Nathan to tell David to name the baby boy Jedediah [which means ‘loved by Yahweh’, ] because Yahweh loved him.
26 Karon nakig-away si Joab batok sa Rabba, ang harianong siyudad sa katawhan sa Ammon, ug nailog niya ang ilang dalangpanan.
(Meanwhile/While all that was happening), Joab’s [soldiers] attacked Rabbah, [the capital city] of the Ammon people-group; and they captured the king’s fortress.
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.
Then Joab sent messengers to David, to tell him this: “My troops are attacking Rabbah, and we have captured the city’s water supply.
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 gather your troops and come and surround the city and capture it. If you do not do that, my troops will capture the city and it will then be named ‘the City of Joab’.”
29 Busa gitigom ni David ang tibuok kasundalohan ug miadto sa Rabba; nakig-away siya sa maong siyudad ug nailog niya kini.
So David gathered all his troops. They went [with David] to Rabbah and attacked it and captured 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.
Then David took the crown from the head of the king of Rabbah (OR, from the head of [Milcom] the god of Rabbah) and put it on his own head. It [was very heavy; it] weighed (75 pounds/34 kg.), and it had many very valuable stones fastened to it. His soldiers also took many other valuable things from the city.
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.
Then they brought the people of Rabbah out of the city and forced them to [work for them] using saws and iron picks and axes. David’s troops also forced them to make bricks. David’s soldiers did this in all the towns of the Ammon people-group. Then David and all of his army returned to Jerusalem.
