2 Samuel 12
1 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.
Alò, SENYÈ a te voye Nathan kote David. Li te vin kote li e te di: “Te genyen de mesye nan yon vil, youn te rich e lòt la te pòv.
2 The rich man had exceedingly many flocks and herds,
Nonm rich la te gen anpil bann mouton avèk twoupo,
3 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.
men pòv la, pa t gen anyen sof ke yon sèl ti mouton femèl, ke li te achte e li te nouri. Konsa, li te vin gran ansanm avèk li menm avèk pitit li yo. Li ta manje nan pen li, bwè nan tas li, kouche sou vant li e se te tankou yon fi pou li.
4 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.
Alò, yon vwayajè te vin kote nonm rich la e li pa t dakò retire nan pwòp bann mouton ak twoupo pa li yo, pou fè pwovizyon pou li. Sof ke sa, li te pran mouton femèl a pòv sila pou prepare pou nonm ki te rive kote li a.”
5 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.
Alò, kòlè a David te brile fò kont nonm nan, e li te di a Nathan: “Jan SENYÈ a viv la, anverite, mesye ki te fè sa a merite lanmò.
6 And he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity.
Fòk li bay rekonpans pou ti mouton an kat fwa; paske li te fè bagay sa a san pitye.”
7 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.
Alò, Nathan te di David: “Mesye a se ou menm! Konsa di SENYÈ a, Bondye a Israël la: ‘Se Mwen ki te onksyone ou kòm wa sou Israël e se mwen ki te delivre ou soti nan men a Saül.
8 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.
Se Mwen menm tou ki te ba ou lakay mèt ou a ak madanm a mèt ou yo pou ou ta pran swen e Mwen te ba ou lakay Israël la avèk Juda. Epi si sa te twò piti, mwen t ap menm ajoute ba ou ankò anpil lòt bagay tankou sila yo!
9 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.
Poukisa ou te meprize pawòl SENYÈ a e fè mal devan zye Li? Ou te fè tonbe Urie, Itit la avèk nepe, ou te pran madanm li kòm madanm ou e ou te touye li avèk nepe a fis Ammon yo.
10 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.
Koulye a, pou sa, nepe p ap janm kite lakay ou, akoz ou te meprize Mwen e te pran madanm a Urie, Itit la pou devni madanm ou.’
11 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.
“Konsa pale SENYÈ a: ‘Gade byen, Mwen va fè leve mal kont ou soti nan pwòp kay ou. Mwen va menm pran madanm ou yo devan zye ou e bay a zanmi parèy ou e li va kouche avèk madanm ou yo gwo lajounen.
12 For thou did it secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.
Anverite, ou te fè l an sekrè; men Mwen va fè bagay sa a devan tout Israël ak anba solèy la.’”
13 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.
Epi David te di a Nathan: “Mwen te peche kont SENYÈ a.” Nathan te di a David: “SENYÈ a, anplis, te retire peche ou; ou p ap mouri.
14 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.
Malgre sa, akoz zak sa a, ke ou te bay okazyon a lènmi a SENYÈ yo pou fè blasfèm, pitit la ki va fèt a ou menm nan va anverite, mouri.”
15 And Nathan departed to his house. And Jehovah struck the child that Uriah's wife bore to David, and it was very sick.
Konsa, Nathan te ale lakay li. Epi SENYÈ a te frape pitit ke vèv Urie te fè pou David la, jiskaske li te vin byen malad.
16 David therefore besought God for the child. And David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the ground.
Pou sa, David te mande Bondye pou pitit la. Li te fè jèn e li te ale kouche tout nwit lan atè.
17 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.
Ansyen lakay li yo te kanpe akote li pou leve li atè a, men li pa t dakò e li pa t manje avèk yo.
18 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!
Konsa, li te vin rive nan setyèm jou a ke pitit la te vin mouri. Epi sèvitè a David yo te krent pou di l ke pitit la te mouri, paske yo te di: “Gade byen, pandan pitit la te vivan an, nou te pale avèk li e li pa t tande vwa nou. Konsa, kòman nou kab di li ke pitit la mouri, paske li kab fè tèt li mal?”
19 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.
Men lè David te wè ke sèvitè li yo t ap pale an kachèt ansanm, David te apèsi ke pitit la te mouri. Pou sa, David te di a sèvitè li yo: “Èske pitit la mouri?” Yo te di: “Li mouri.”
20 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.
Konsa, David te leve soti atè a. Li te lave tèt li, li te onksyone kò l, e li te chanje rad li. Konsa, li te antre lakay SENYÈ a pou te adore. Epi li te vin nan pwòp kay li. Lè li te mande, yo te mete manje devan li pou l te manje.
21 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.
Sèvitè li yo te di li: “Se ki bagay sa ou te fè a? Pandan pitit la te vivan an, ou te fè jèn e te kriye, men lè pitit la te mouri, ou te leve pou te manje.”
22 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?
Li te di: “Pandan pitit la te vivan an, mwen te fè jèn e te kriye; paske mwen te di: ‘Kilès ki te kab konnen, SENYÈ a ta kab petèt fè m gras, pou pitit la te kab viv.’
23 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.
Men koulye a, li fin mouri. Poukisa mwen ta fè jèn? Èske mwen kapab fè l retounen ankò? Mwen va ale jwenn li, men li p ap retounen kote mwen.”
24 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,
Konsa, David te rekonfòte madanm li, Bath-Schéba. Li te antre nan li e li te kouche avèk li. Li te bay nesans a yon fis e li te rele li Salomon. Alò, SENYÈ a te renmen li.
25 and he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet. And he called his name Jedidiah, for Jehovah's sake.
Li te voye nouvèl la pa Nathan, pwofèt la e Nathan te rele li Jedidja pou koz SENYÈ a.
26 Now Joab fought against Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, and took the royal city.
Alò, Joab te goumen kont Rabba, moun nan fis Ammon yo, e li te kaptire vil wayal la.
27 And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbah; yea, I have taken the city of waters.
Joab te voye mesaje yo a David. Li te di: “Mwen te goumen kont Rabba e te kaptire vil dlo yo.
28 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.
Pou sa, rasanble rès pèp la, e fè kan kont vil la oswa, ma pran pou kont mwen pou l gen non pa m nan.”
29 And David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it.
Konsa, David te rasanble tout pèp la pou te ale Rabba. Li te goumen kont li e te kaptire li.
30 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.
Li te pran kouwòn a wa pa yo a soti nan tèt li. Li te peze yon talan (anviwon trann-kat kilo) an lò, e ladann yon kantite pyè presye. Yo te mete li sou tèt David. Epi li te mennen piyaj la deyò vil la an gran kantite.
31 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.
Anplis, li te mennen moun ki te ladann l deyò. Li te fè yo travay ak si, avèk pikwa, ak rach an fè, e te fè yo travay nan fou brik. Se konsa li te fè a tout vil ki te pou fis Ammon yo. Epi David avèk tout moun li yo te retounen Jérusalem.
