< 2 Samuel 12 >

1 Hiti chun Nathan themgaopa chu Pakaiyin David komah asol tan ahi: Hichun Nathanin jong David koma hitin aga seiye, “Khopi sung khat’a hin pasal ni acheng lhonin, khatpa chu mihao ahin, khat jopa vang chu mivaicha ahi.
And the Lord sent Nathan unto David, and he came unto him and said to him, Two men were once in one city, the one rich and the other poor.
2 Hichun mihaopa hin kelngoihon tamtah le bonghon tampi aneiyin ahi.
The rich man had flocks and herds, in great abundance.
3 Ahin mivaichapa vang chun imacha aneipoi, ahin aman alel lel a akichoh kelngoipi khat seh seh bou aneiye. Hijongle aman akelngoipi chu akivah vah-in achate toh phatechan avah in ahi; kelngoipi hin ama changlhah aneh ding an jong anejin, adon ding twi jong ama khon sunga konin adon ji'e; chutengle a-angsunga alum jin, achanu tobang bangin aumtan ahi.
But the poor man had nothing, save one little ewe, which he had bought; and he nourished it, and it grew up with him and with his children together; of his bread it used to eat, and out of his cup it used to drink, and in his bosom it used to lie, and it was to him as a daughter.
4 Hichelai hin kholjin mikhat mihaopa koma chun ahung lhung in ahileh, hiche kholjinpa thapeh ding chun mihaopan jong ama kelngoi hon lah a khattou thapeh ding jong a-ittan, chule ama bonghon lah a kona khattou thapeh ding jong a-it tai; ahin mivaichapa kelngoipi khat sheh anei chu aman in akoma hung kholjin pa ding chun atha peh tan ahi,” ati.
And there came a traveler unto the rich man; and he felt compunction to take from his own flocks and from his own herds to dress for the wayfarer that was come to him; but he took the ewe of the poor man, and dressed it for the man that was come to him.
5 Chutah chun David jong alung hangjah jengin hiche mihaopa douna chun Nathan themgao koma chun hitin aseitai, “Pakai hing jing mina kasei ahi, hitobanga kisa chonvalpa chu thi dinga kilom mong ahibouve!
And the anger of David was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, As the Lord liveth, surely the man that hath done this deserveth to die;
6 Chujongle aman voujang natna beihela hitobang thilpi hi abol jeh hin aman kelngoipi chu ajat li’a asah kit ding ahi,’ atitai.
And the ewe he shall pay fourfold, for punishment that he hath done this thing, and because he had no compassion.
7 Chuin Nathan themgaopan David koma aseipai jengin, “Hichea kisei mihaopa hi nangma nahi, Pakai Israel Pathenin hitin aseiye, ‘Nang hi keiman Israel chate chunga leng chang dinga thao kanusa nahin, chule Saul thaneina a kon kanahuhdoh nahiye.
Then said Nathan to David, Thou art the man! Thus hath said the Lord, the God of Israel, It is I who anointed thee as king over Israel, and it is I who delivered thee out of the hand of Saul;
8 Chujongle napupa Saul’in, ajiteu jouse chule Israel insung pumpi le Judah insung pumpi jong kapeh nahi; hicheng jong hi alhom behseh na laiya ahileh tamtah kapehbe ding nahi nalaiye.
And I gave unto thee the house of thy master, and [put] the wives of thy master into thy bosom, and gave unto thee the house of Israel and Judah: and if this be too little, I could bestow on thee yet many more like these things.
9 Chuti ahileh epi dinga nangman Pakai thusei nanot thap a hitabang tijat umtah thil hi nabol hitam? Nangman Hittite mipa Uriah chu nadengin Ammon mite chemjamin nathat nin, chule ajinu jong naji din nakipui jeng theiye.
Wherefore hast thou despised the word of the Lord to do what is evil in his eyes? Uriyah the Hittite hast thou smitten with the sword, and his wife hast thou taken unto thee for wife; but him hast thou slain with the sword of the children of 'Ammon.
10 Hijeh a chu tua hi nangma insunga kona jong chemjam lang jing jeng ding ahi. ajeh chu nangin keima nahsah mon neibolin, Hittite mipa Uriah jinu chu naji din nakipuitai,’ tin aseiye.
And now, the sword shall not depart from thy house for ever; for the reason that thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriyah the Hittite to be thy wife.
11 Chuin Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, ajeh chu nangman nathil bol banga, keiman nangma insunga kona nadou ding thilse kahin kondoh sah ding ahi. chule namitmu changtah a najite jeng jong kalah peh a naheng nakom mite kapeh doh ding, chule amahon japi mitmu lai jenga jong najite chu aluppi dingu ahi.
Thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will raise up against thee evil out of thy own house, and I will take away thy wives before thy eyes, and I will give them unto thy neighbor; and he shall lie with thy wives before the face of this sun.
12 Ijeh inem itileh nangman nathil bol chu guhthima nabol ahin, keiman vang Israel chate pumpi mitmu dinga kabol ding ahi,’ tin aseiye.”
For thou hast done it in secret; but I will surely do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.
13 Chutah chun David in jong Nathan koma hitin aseiye, “Keima Pakai dounan kachonsetai,” atin ahileh; Nathan jong chun David koma aseipaiyin, “Pakaiyin nachonset angaidam tai. hijeh a chu hiche chonset jeh in nangma thi tapon nate.
Then said David unto Nathan, I have sinned against the Lord. And Nathan said to David, Also the Lord hath caused thy sin to pass away: thou shalt not die.
14 Hijongle nangin hiche thil hi nabol a Pakai chu nahsah mo tah a nabol a nataitom ahitan, hijeh a chu ahung peng ding nacha chu thitei tei ding ahi tai,” tin aseitai.
Nevertheless, because thou hast given great cause to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme through this thing, the child also that hath been born unto thee shall surely die.
15 Hichun Nathan ainlama achijou chun. Pakaiyin Uriah jinu hin David chapa chu gotna apen ahileh naosen chu apet petin adammo pai tan ahi.
And Nathan went to his house; and the Lord struck the child that Uriyah's wife had born unto David, that it became very sick.
16 Hijeh chun David jong naosen adamna din Pakai henga atao tao tan ahi; David chun an angolin apotdoh in, jan khovah hel chun tollhanga alumin ahi.
And David besought God in behalf of the lad; and David kept a fast, and came home, and lay over night upon the earth.
17 Chuphat’in ainsung mi upa chengsen ajol jol jenguvin chule tollhanga alupnaa kona tho doh sah tei din agouve; ahinla David chu akithou doh deh pon, chule an jong aneh pi deh pouve.
And the elders of the house arose about him, to raise him up from the earth; but he would not, and he did not partake of any bread with them.
18 Ahivangin nisagi lhin nin naosen chu athi tan ahi. Hichun naosen chu athitai’ tia David koma sei peh ding asohte chu akicha tauve; ajeh chu amaho geldola, vetan, naosen ahinlaiya bon eiho thusei angai louva ahileh, tua naosen athitai, tia iti iseidoh ngam diu ham? Amale ama kithalo mai ding ahi,” tia angaitou ahiye.
And it came to pass on the seventh day that the child died; and the servants of David were afraid to tell him, that the child was dead; for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spoke to him, and he would not hearken to our voice: how then shall we say to him, The child is dead! he might do [himself] a hurt.
19 Ahin David chun asohte chu akhoisa cheh tauve ti ahetdoh phat’in naosen chu athi ahitai tin David’in ahedoh pai paitan ahi; hijeh chun David chun asohte chu adong in, “Naosen chu athia hitam?” atileh amahon jong, “Athitai,’ atiuve.
But when David saw that his servants were whispering to each other, David understood that the child was dead; wherefore David said unto his servants, Is the child dead? and they said, he is dead.
20 Chuphat’in David jong tol'a alupna a konin ahung thou dohin akisil ngim in, thao akinun, aponsil akhel’in, Pakai houin sunga avah lut’in chibai agaboh-e; chujouvin David chu ama inlama ahung in an athum in amahon jong ankong aluipeh-uva ahileh, an anetan ahi.
David then rose up from the earth, and washed and anointed himself, and changed his garments, and went into the house of the Lord and prostrated himself; and then he came to his own house, and asked that they should set food before him, and he ate.
21 Hichun asohten ajah a aseiyuve, “Ipibola hitia hi naum ham? naosen ahai hai pet in an nangol in nakap kap jengin, naosen athi tah bah phat in nathou doh in an nane jenge,’ atiuve.
And his servants then said unto him, What is this thing which thou hast done? On account of the child when living thou didst fast and weep; but as soon as the child was dead thou didst arise and eat bread!
22 Hichun David in jong hitin adonbut’e, “Naosen ahinpet a chu an kangola kaka ka ahin, “Kon ija ahet thei ham, ajo le Pakaiyin eilungset a naosen hi ahin hin sah thei ahi?” tia keiman kagel jeh ahi.
And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept; because I said, Who knoweth, but that the Lord will be gracious to me, that the child may live?
23 Ahin tun vang ama athia ahitan ibola an kangol ngol nah lai ding ham? ken ama chu kahinsah theiya nabol’uham? keibou ama koma nikhat le kache ding ahin, ama chu kahenga hung kile kit louhel ding ahitai,” ati.
But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast then? can I restore him again? I am going to him; but he will not return to me.
24 Hichun David’in ajinu Bathsheba alhem lung mongin akoma aga lut kit’in aluppin ahileh amanun nao ahinvop in chapa khat ahing kit’e; Chule David in amin Solomon asah in ahi. Pakaiyin amahi angailui.
And David comforted Bath-sheba' his wife, and he went in unto her, and lay with her; and she bore a son, and called his name Solomon; and the Lord loved him.
25 Hijeh chun Nathan themgaopa henga ahin hetsah in ahileh Nathanin Pakai thusei dungjuiyin ama chu amin Jedidiah tinjong aminvo kit’e, (hichu Pakaiyin angailut tina ahi).
And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and called his name, Yedideyah in behalf of the Lord.
26 Chuin Joab chun Ammon mite khopi lanlung Rabbah chu adel khumin gal’in akisat pin ahileh ajouvin leng khopi chu alatan ahi.
And Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of 'Ammon, and captured the royal city.
27 Chuin Joab chun David koma sottolle miho asol’in agasei sah tai, “Keiman Rabbah kaga kisat pin, twiphai khopi chu kajoutai tin.
And Joab sent messengers to David; and said, I have fought against Rabbah, and have also captured the water-town.
28 Hijeh chun tun mipi amoh cheng khom tup’in lang khopi dounan ngahmun hung sem tan, chule akhopi jong hung toupha jengin, achuti louva ahileh keiman akhopi hi kalah a keima min kaputsah ding ahi tai,” ati.
And now gather the rest of the people together, and encamp against the city, and capture it: lest I capture the city myself, and it be called by my name.
29 Hijeh chun David in mipi abonchan akhom soh keiyin Rabbah khopi lama achen, chule akhopi dou nan gal abol’in akisat pin ahileh ajouvin akhopi chu alatan ahi.
And David gathered all the people together and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and captured it.
30 Chule alengpau lallukhuh chu David in aluchanga konin alahdoh peh in chule amalu changah akikoi tan ahi. alallukhuh chu sana le songman tam a kisem chule agih dan chu pound somsagi le nga ahi. chujongle asunga chun song mantam tah akikoiyin. Chujongleh David chun Rabbah khopia thil thang tamtah ahin chom doh in ahi.
And he took the crown of Malkam from off his head, and its weight was a talent of gold, and [on it was] a precious stone, and it was set on the head of David; and the booty of the city he brought out in great abundance.
31 Chujongle akhopi sunga cheng mipi jouse chu gal hing-in akaiyin, chule thing-at dingle tuphul kheng dingle, heicha kheng dingin agoiyin, chule cheh dengin apansah tai. Hitichun David chun hitobanga hi Ammon mite khopi jouse anabol ahi; chujouvin David le mipi chu abonchauvin Jerusalema ahung kile kit tauvin ahi.
And the people that were therein he brought forward, and put them under saws, and under iron threshing-wagons, and under axes of iron, and made them pass through brick-kilns; and thus did he unto all the cities of the children of 'Ammon: and David returned with them with all the people unto Jerusalem.
