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.
Ya mere, Onyenwe anyị zigara Netan ka o jekwuru Devid. Mgbe Netan bịakwutere Devid, ọ kọọrọ ya akụkọ a, “E nwere ndị ikom abụọ bi nʼotu obodo, otu bụ ọgaranya ma nke ọzọ bụ ogbenye.
2 The rich man had exceedingly many flocks and herds,
Onye ọgaranya a nwere ọtụtụ igwe atụrụ na igwe ehi.
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.
Ma nwoke ogbenye ahụ enweghị ihe ọbụla karịa otu nwa nne atụrụ nta nke ọ zụtara. Ọ zụlitere ya, o tolite nʼetiti ya na ụmụ ya. Ọ na-eri nri site na ihe oriri ya, na-aṅụ mmiri site nʼiko mmiri ya, nʼobi ya ka ọ na-edinakwa. Ọ nọ ọnọdụ dịka nwa nwanyị nye ya.
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.
“Otu ụbọchị, onye ọbịa bịara nʼụlọ onye ọgaranya ahụ. Ma kama ọgaranya ahụ ga-ewere otu atụrụ maọbụ ehi nke ya siere onye ọbịa ya nri, ọ gara were nne atụrụ ogbenye ahụ, gbuo ya, jiri ya siere ọbịa ya nri.”
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.
Devid were oke iwe megide nwoke ahụ, ọ sịrị Netan, “Ana m aṅụ iyi nʼaha Onyenwe anyị dị ndụ na onye mere ihe dị otu a aghaghị ịnwụ!
6 And he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity.
Ọ ga-ejikwa nwa atụrụ okpukpu anọ kwụghachi ogbenye ahụ ụgwọ otu atụrụ ahụ o weere, nʼihi na onye ọgaranya ahụ egosighị na o nwere obi ebere ọbụla.”
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.
Mgbe ahụ, Netan sịrị Devid, “Ọ bụ gị bụ nwoke ahụ! Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Izrel sịrị, ‘Mụ onwe m tere gị mmanụ ịbụ eze Izrel, mụ onwe m napụtakwara gị site nʼaka Sọl.
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.
Enyere m gị ụlọ nna gị ukwu, nyefekwa ndị inyom nna gị ukwu nʼaka gị, na alaeze Izrel na Juda, ka ha bụrụ nke gị. Ma ọ bụrụ na nke a ezughị, agaara m atụkwasịrị gị ihe ndị a niile okpukpu okpukpu.
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.
Gịnị mere i ji lelịa okwu Onyenwe anyị anya, mee ihe a jọgburu onwe ya? Nʼihi na i jirila mma agha gbuo Ụraya onye Het, zurukwa nwunye ya nʼohi. Ọ bụkwa mma agha ndị Amọn ka i ji gbuo ya.
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.
Ya mere, nʼihi ihe a i mere, mma agha agaghị esi nʼezinaụlọ gị pụọ, nʼihi na i ledara m anya kpọrọ nwunye Ụraya onye Het ka ọ bụrụ nwunye gị.’
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.
“Ihe a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, ‘Aga m eme ka ihe ọjọọ si nʼezinaụlọ gị bilie megide gị. Nʼihu gị ka m ga-eduru ndị nwunye gị dunye otu onye dị gị nnọọ nso, ya na ha ga-edinakọ nʼehihie ọcha, nʼihu ndị Izrel niile.
12 For thou did it secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.
I mere mmehie gị na nzuzo, ma aga m eme nke a na mbara, nʼihu Izrel niile.’”
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.
Mgbe ahụ, Devid sịrị Netan, “Emehiela m megide Onyenwe anyị.” Netan zara sị ya, “Onyenwe anyị nʼonwe ya agbagharakwala gị mmehie gị, ị gaghị anwụ.
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.
Ma nʼihi na i meela ka ndị iro Onyenwe anyị nwe ohere ikwulu na ilelị ya anya, nwa nwoke ahụ amụụrụ gị ga-anwụ.”
15 And Nathan departed to his house. And Jehovah struck the child that Uriah's wife bore to David, and it was very sick.
Mgbe Netan lara, Onyenwe anyị mere ka nwantakịrị ahụ nwunye Ụraya mụụrụ Devid daa ọrịa.
16 David therefore besought God for the child. And David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the ground.
Devid rịọrọ Chineke arịrịọ banyere nwantakịrị ahụ. O buru ọnụ, dinaa nʼala efu abalị ahụ niile nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.
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.
Emesịa, ndị okenye ụlọ ya rịọrọ Devid ka o bilie rie nri, ma ọ jụrụ iri ihe ọbụla.
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!
Nʼụbọchị nke asaa, nwantakịrị ahụ nwụrụ. Mgbe ahụ, ndị na-ejere Devid ozi tụrụ egwu otu ha ga-esi gwa ya na nwantakịrị ahụ anwụọla. Nʼihi na ha kwuru nʼime onwe ha sị, “Mgbe nwantakịrị ahụ ka dị ndụ, anyị gwara ya okwu ma o geghị anyị ntị. Anyị ga-esi aṅaa gwa ya na nwantakịrị ahụ anwụọla? O nwere ike imerụ onwe ya ahụ.”
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.
Mgbe Devid hụrụ na ha na-ekwurịta okwu nʼetiti onwe ha na nzuzo; ọ matara na nwa ahụ anwụọla. Ọ jụrụ ha sị, “Nwata ahụ ọ nwụọla?” Ha zara sị ya, “E, ọ nwụọla!”
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.
Mgbe ahụ, Devid sitere nʼala ebe o dina, bilie, saa ahụ, gbanwee uwe ya, baa nʼụlọ Onyenwe anyị, kpọọrọ ya isiala. Ọ lọghachiri nʼụlọ ya nye iwu ka e wetara ya ihe oriri. O rikwara nri.
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.
O juru ndị na-ejere ya ozi anya, nʼihi ya ha jụrụ ya ajụjụ si, “Gịnị mere i ji eme omume dị otu a? Mgbe nwantakịrị ahụ nọ ndụ, i buru ọnụ, kwaakwa akwa, ma ugbu a, nwa ahụ anwụọla, ị kwụsịla iru ụjụ. Ugbu a, ị biliela na-erikwa nri.”
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?
Devid zara ha sị, “Eburu m ọnụ, kwaakwa akwa mgbe nwa ahụ nọ ndụ, nʼihi na ekwuru m sị, ‘ma eleghị anya, Onyenwe anyị ga-enwe ọmịiko nʼebe m nọ mee ka nwa ahụ dị ndụ.’
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.
Ma ugbu a ọ nwụrụ, gịnịkwa ka m nwere dịka uru ibu ọnụ ọzọ? M pụrụ ime ka ọ dị ndụ ọzọ? Aga m alakwuru ya, ma ọ gaghị alaghachikwutekwa m.”
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,
Devid kasiri Batsheba nwunye ya obi, emesịa, mgbe ya na ya dinakọrọ, ọ tụụrụ ime ọzọ mụọ nwa nwoke onye ha kpọrọ aha ya Solomọn. Ma Onyenwe anyị hụrụ nwantakịrị ahụ nʼanya.
25 and he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet. And he called his name Jedidiah, for Jehovah's sake.
O zigara ozi site nʼaka Netan, onye amụma, ka a gụọ ya Jedidaya nʼihi Onyenwe anyị.
26 Now Joab fought against Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, and took the royal city.
Nʼoge a, Joab busoro Raba obodo ndị Amọn agha dọta isi obodo eze ha nʼagha.
27 And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbah; yea, I have taken the city of waters.
Joab zigara Devid ozi sị ya, “Ebuola m agha megide Raba dọta isi mmiri ọṅụṅụ ya nʼagha.
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.
Ugbu a chịkọtaa ndị agha fọdụrụ bịa lụpụchaa agha a, ka ị dọta obodo a nʼagha. Ọ bụrụ na i meghị otu a, aga m adọta obodo a nʼagha, a ga-akpọkwasịkwa ya aha m.”
29 And David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it.
Nʼihi nke a, Devid duuru ndị agha Izrel jeruo Raba, buso ya agha, meriekwa ya.
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.
Devid kpupuru okpueze nke dị nʼisi eze ha, e kpunye ya nʼisi nke ya onwe ya. Ịdị arọ nke okpueze ahụ ruru kilogram ọlaedo iri atọ na anọ, nke e ji nkume ndị dị oke ọnụahịa chọọ mma. Devid sitekwara nʼobodo ahụ kwakọrọ ọtụtụ ihe nkwata nʼagha.
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.
Ọ kpọpụtara ndị nọ nʼebe ahụ, manye ha nʼịrụ ọrụ nke e ji mma nkwọ e ji awa osisi, na igwe e ji egwu ala na anyụike nʼarụ. O mere ka ha rụọ ọrụ nʼebe a na-akpụ blọk brik. Devid mekwara otu ihe a nʼobodo niile nke ụmụ Amọn. Emesịa, ya na ndị agha ya niile laghachiri na Jerusalem.
