2 Samuel 12
1 BAWIPA ni Devit koe Nathan hah a patoun. Nathan ni a kâen teh Oe siangpahrang, kho buet touh dawk tami kahni touh ao, buet touh teh ka tawnta e tami, buet touh teh ka roedeng e tami.
And Jehovah sent Nathan to David. And he came to him, and said to him, There were two men in one city: the one rich, and the other poor.
2 Ka tawnta e ni teh maito hoi tu moikapap a tawn.
The rich man had exceedingly many flocks and herds,
3 Ka roedeng e tami teh tulaca buet touh a ran teh a paca e hloilah alouke hno banghai tawn hoeh. Hote tulaca teh ama hoi a canaw hoi rei ao awh teh a roung awh. Rawca hai rei a hmawng awh. Tui hai rei a nei awh. A bawipa e a lungtabue dawk kaawm e a canu patetlah doeh ao.
but the poor man had nothing except one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up. And it grew up together with him, and with his sons. It ate of his own morsel, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was to him as a daughter.
4 Ka tawnta e im dawk imyin buet touh a tho teh imyin paca hanelah amae tu hoi maitonaw thei hane a pasai teh ka roedeng e tulaca hah a la teh imyin hanelah a thawng pouh, telah atipouh.
And there came a traveler to the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd to dress for the wayfaring man who came to him, but took the poor man's lamb, and dressed it for the man who came to him.
5 Devit teh hote tami lathueng puenghoi a lungkhuek teh, Nathan koevah BAWIPA a hring e patetlah hot patetlae hno ka sak e teh a due hane roe doeh.
And David's anger was greatly kindled against the man, and he said to Nathan, As Jehovah lives, the man who has done this is worthy to die.
6 Pahrennae tawn laipalah, hot patetlae hno a sak dawkvah, tulaca yueng lah let pali touh hoi patho naseh telah ati.
And he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity.
7 Nathan ni Devit koe ahni teh alouke tami nahoeh. Nang hah doeh. Isarel BAWIPA Cathut ni a dei e teh, Isarel siangpahrang lah satui na awi teh Sawl e kut dawk hoi na hlout sak.
And Nathan said to David, Thou are the man. Thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul.
8 Na bawipa im dawk e râwnaw na coe sak, na bawipa e yunaw hai na lungtabue dawk ka hruek, Isarel imthung hoi Judah imthung hai na poe. Hotnaw hah youn rah pawiteh alouke hno hai na poe sin han rah.
And I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah. And if that had been too little, I would have added to thee such and such things.
9 Nang teh BAWIPA e kâlawk poe e na noutna hoeh. Bangkongmaw ka hmaitung vah kahawihoehe hno na sak. Hit tami Uriah hringnae tahloi hoi na thei teh, a yu hah na lawp. Ammonnaw hoi ahni teh tahloi hoi na thei.
Why have thou despised the word of Jehovah, to do that which is evil in his sight? Thou have smitten Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and have taken his wife to be thy wife, and have slain him with the sword of the sons of Ammon.
10 Nang ni kai banglahai na noutna hoeh teh Hit tami Uriah e yu na la dawkvah, na imthungnaw teh tahloi hoi pou a kâhmo awh han toe.
Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thy house, because thou have despised me, and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife.
11 BAWIPA ni a dei e teh, na imthung dawk hoi hno kahawihoehe ka tho sak han. Na hmaitung vah na yunaw ka la vaiteh, na imri hah ka poe vaiteh, kanîthun vah a ikhai awh han.
Thus says Jehovah, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house. And I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them to thy neighbor, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun.
12 Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang ni arulahoi na sak, hatei kai ni Isarelnaw hmaitung kanî hmalah kamnue sak han telah ati.
For thou did it secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.
13 Devit ni Nathan koevah, kai ni BAWIPA koe ka payon toe telah ati. Nathan ni Devit koevah, BAWIPA ni hai na yonnae na la pouh toe. Na dout mahoeh.
And David said to Nathan, I have sinned against Jehovah. And Nathan said to David, Jehovah also has put away thy sin; thou shall not die.
14 Hateiteh, nang ni hottelah na payonnae lahoi BAWIPA e tarannaw koe dudam nahanelah na poe dawkvah, atu na hmu e na ca hah a due roeroe han telah atipouh. Hahoi Nathan ni a im lah a ban takhai.
However, because by this deed thou have given great occasion to the enemies of Jehovah to blaspheme, the child also that is born to thee shall surely die.
15 Uriah e yu ni Devit hanelah a khe pouh e capa hah BAWIPA ni a hem teh ka nut lah a pataw.
And Nathan departed to his house. And Jehovah struck the child that Uriah's wife bore to David, and it was very sick.
16 Hatdawkvah, Devit ni camo hanelah Cathut koe a kâhei. Rawcahai laihoi karum tuettuet talai dawk a yan.
David therefore besought God for the child. And David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the ground.
17 A imthungnaw dawk e kacuenaw a thaw awh teh a pathaw awh hanelah a teng vah a kangdue awh. Hatei thaw ngai hoeh, ahnimouh koe rawcahai cat hoeh.
And the elders of his house arose, and stood beside him, to raise him up from the ground, but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them.
18 Asari hnin vah camo teh a due. Camo a due tie a sannaw ni Devit koe dei ngam awh hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh ahnimouh ni camo a hring nah maimouh ni dei e lawk hah thai han ngai hoeh, camo a due toe telah bangtelamaw maimouh ni dei ngam awh han. Amahoima runae kâpoe payon vaih telah ati awh.
And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead, for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive we spoke to him, and he did not hearken to our voice, how will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the child is dead!
19 Devit ni hottelah a sannaw ni arulawk duem a dei e a thai navah, camo a due tie Devit ni a panue. Hatdawkvah, Devit ni a sannaw koevah, camo a due toung maw telah ati. Ahnimouh ni oe a due toe telah atipouh awh.
But when David saw that his servants were whispering together, David perceived that the child was dead. And David said to his servants, Is the child dead? And they said, He is dead.
20 Devit teh talai dawk hoi a thaw teh hak a kâpasu teh satui a kâhluk, a khohna a kâpahoung teh BAWIPA e im lah a cei teh a bawk. A im lah bout a ban teh bu ca hane a hei navah, a sannaw ni a rakueng pouh awh teh a ca.
Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his apparel. And he came into the house of Jehovah, and worshiped. Then he came to his own house, and when he required, they set bread before him, and he ate.
21 A sannaw ni na hno na sak e hah bangmaw, camo a hring navah rawca nahai teh na khuika, hatei camo a due toteh na thaw teh rawca na ca telah atipouh awh.
Then his servants said to him, What thing is this that thou have done? Thou fasted and wept for the child while it was alive, but when the child was dead, thou arose and ate bread.
22 Devit ni Oe, camo a hring navah rawca kahai teh ka ka, camo heh a hring thai nahan BAWIPA ni a pahren talang teh tie apinimaw a dei thai han ka ti dawk doeh.
And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept. For I said, Who knows whether Jehovah will not be gracious to me, that the child may live?
23 Atuteh camo a due toe, bangkongmaw rawca kahai han vaw, bout ka hring sak thai han na maw. Ahni koe kai ka cei han, ahni teh kai koe bout ban mahoeh toe telah ati.
But now he is dead; why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he will not return to me.
24 Devit ni a yu Bathsheba hah a lung a pahawi. Ahni koe a kâen teh a ikhai. Ahni ni ca tongpa buet touh a khe teh Solomon telah min a phung. Ahni teh BAWIPA ni a lung a pataw.
And David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in to her, and lay with her. And she bore a son, and he called his name Solomon. And Jehovah loved him,
25 Profet Nathan hah a patoun teh camo e min teh BAWIPA e Jedidiah telah min a phung.
and he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet. And he called his name Jedidiah, for Jehovah's sake.
26 Joab ni Ammon ram Rabbah kho hah a tuk teh khopui hah a la.
Now Joab fought against Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, and took the royal city.
27 Joab ni Devit koe patounenaw a patoun teh kai ni Rabbah kho ka tuk, tui kapoekung khopui hah ka la.
And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbah; yea, I have taken the city of waters.
28 Atuvah, ka cawi rae taminaw pâkhueng awh, khopui teng tumpup awh nateh tuk awh nateh lat awh. Khopui ka la vaiteh kama e ka min lahoi ka kaw han telah ati.
Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and encamp against the city, and take it, lest I take the city, and it be called after my name.
29 Devit ni tami pueng a pâkhueng teh Rabbah vah a cei awh, a tuk awh teh a la awh.
And David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it.
30 Hahoi ahnimae siangpahrangnaw e bawilakhung a kâmuk e a la pouh awh. Sui talen buet touh a ri, aphukaawm e talung hai ao. Devit a kâmuk sak awh. Kho thung e hno moi a lawp awh.
And he took the crown of their king from off his head. And the weight of it was a talent of gold, and in it were precious stones. And it was set on David's head. And he brought forth the spoil of the city, exceedingly much.
31 Kho thung e khocanaw a tâco sak awh teh, hlaw hoi sumtaboung hoi cakâ hoi thaw a tawk sak awh teh, amhru hai a sak sak awh. Ammonnaw e khopuinaw hah hottelah a sak awh. Devit hoi a taminaw pueng Jerusalem kho lah a ban awh.
And he brought forth the people that were in it, and put them under saws, and under harrows of iron, and under axes of iron, and made them pass through the brick-kiln. And thus he did to all the cities of the sons of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
