2 Samuel 12
1 Then the LORD sent Nathan to David, and when he arrived, he said, “There were two men in a certain city, one rich and the other poor.
BOEIPA loh Nathan te David taengla a tueih tih a taeng a pha vaengah David te, “Kho pakhat ah hlang panit om tih, pakhat tah hlanglen, pakhat tah vawtthoek la om.
2 The rich man had a great number of sheep and cattle,
Hlanglen tah boiva khaw, saelhung khaw, a yet la muep a khueh.
3 but the poor man had nothing except one small ewe lamb that he had bought. He raised it, and it grew up with him and his children. It shared his food and drank from his cup; it slept in his arms and was like a daughter to him.
Tedae khodaeng taengah tah a lai duen ca tumanu pakhat phoeiah a tloe om pawh. Te te a hing sak tih amah taengah a ca rhoek taengah rhoeng hang, a buhkam te a cah tih a boengloeng te a tul. A rhang dongah ip tih canu bangla a taengah a khueh.
4 Now a traveler came to the rich man, who refrained from taking one of his own sheep or cattle to prepare for the traveler who had come to him. Instead, he took the poor man’s lamb and prepared it for his guest.”
Hlanglen pakhat tah tekah hlang taengah yinthing la a pawk pah. Tedae anih taengla aka thoeng yiin kok nah ham amah kah boiva neh a saelhung tah loh hamla a hnaih. Te dongah khodaeng ca kah tumanu te a loh pah tih anih taengla aka thoeng hlang ham te a ngawn pah,” a ti nah.
5 David burned with anger against the man and said to Nathan: “As surely as the LORD lives, the man who did this deserves to die!
Te vaengah David kah a thintoek tah tekah hlang taengah sai khungdaeng. Te dongah Nathan te, “BOEIPA kah hingnah dongah te tla aka saii hlang tah duek ca kangna saeh.
6 Because he has done this thing and has shown no pity, he must pay for the lamb four times over.”
A thinphat pawt tih hekah hno he a saii dongah tumanu te rhaepli la thuung saeh,” a ti nah.
7 Then Nathan said to David, “You are that man! This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul.
Te vaengah Nathan loh David te, “Tekah hlang tah namah ni. Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh, ‘Kai loh Israel manghai la nang kang koelh tih Saul kut lamkah khaw kai long ni nang kan huul.
8 I gave your master’s house to you and your master’s wives into your arms. I gave you the house of Israel and Judah, and if that was not enough, I would have given you even more.
Na boeipa kah im te namah taengah, na boei rhoek kah a yuu rhoek khaw na rhang dongah kan tloeng coeng. Israel neh Judah imlo khaw nang taengah kam paek coeng. A yol bal atah he khaw ke khaw nang ham man kan thap ve.
9 Why then have you despised the command of the LORD by doing evil in His sight? You put Uriah the Hittite to the sword and took his wife as your own, for you have slain him with the sword of the Ammonites.
Balae tih a mikhmuh ah boethae saii ham BOEIPA ol te na sawtsit. Ka mikhmuh ah Khitti Uriah te cunghang neh na ngawn. A yuu te namah yuu la na rhawt pah phoeiah amah te Ammon koca rhoek kah cunghang neh na ngawn.
10 Now, therefore, the sword will never depart from your house, because you have despised Me and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your own.’
Kai nan hnaep tih Khitti Uriah yuu te na rhawt pah phoeiah namah yuu la na khueh. Te dongah kumhal duela na imkhui lamkah cunghang te nong voel mahpawh.’”
11 This is what the LORD says: ‘I will raise up adversity against you from your own house. Before your very eyes I will take your wives and give them to another, and he will lie with them in broad daylight.
“BOEIPA loh he ni a thui, ‘Na imkhui lamloh nang soah yoethaenah ka pai sak ni. Na yuu rhoek te na mikhmuh ah ka loh vetih na hui taengla ka paek ni. Na yuu rhoek te khothaih sale ah a ih puei ni.
12 You have acted in secret, but I will do this thing in broad daylight before all Israel.’”
Yinhnuk ah na saii dae olka te kai loh Israel tom neh khomik hmaiah kam phoe ni,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
13 Then David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the LORD.” “The LORD has taken away your sin,” Nathan replied. “You will not die.
Te daengah David loh Nathan taengah, “BOEIPA taengah ka tholh coeng,” a ti nah. Nathan loh David te, “BOEIPA loh na tholh a khoe coeng tih na duek mahpawh.
14 Nevertheless, because by this deed you have shown utter contempt for the word of the LORD, the son born to you will surely die.”
Tedae te bang khoboe neh BOEIPA kah thunkha rhoek te yah na bai la na bai sak dongah nang ham camoe aka thaang te duek rhoe duek ni,” a ti nah.
15 After Nathan had gone home, the LORD struck the child that Uriah’s wife had borne to David, and he became ill.
Nathan loh amah im la a caeh nen tah Uriah yuu loh David ham a cun pah camoe te BOEIPA loh a vuek tih a rhawp pah.
16 David pleaded with God for the boy. He fasted and went into his house and spent the night lying in sackcloth on the ground.
Te dongah David loh camoe hamla Pathen te a toem. Yaehnah khaw David loh a yaeh tih a khum puei. Diklai dongah yalh tih rhaehba sut.
17 The elders of his household stood beside him to help him up from the ground, but he was unwilling and would not eat anything with them.
A imkhui kah patong rhoek loh anih te diklai lamloh thoh hamla a taengah pai uh. Tedae ngaih pawt tih amih taengah buh ca voel pawh.
18 On the seventh day the child died. But David’s servants were afraid to tell him that the child was dead, for they said, “Look, while the child was alive, we spoke to him, and he would not listen to us. So how can we tell him the child is dead? He may even harm himself.”
A hnin rhih dongah camoe te duek. Tedae camoe a duek te amah taengah puen hamla David kah sal rhoek loh a rhih uh. “Camoe a hing la a om vaengah pataeng anih te m'voek uh dae mamih ol te a hnatun moenih ta. Boethae saii mai koinih camoe a duek te anih taengah metlam n'ti eh,” a ti uh.
19 When David saw that his servants were whispering to one another, he perceived that the child was dead. So he asked his servants, “Is the child dead?” “He is dead,” they replied.
Tedae a sal rhoek a sisuk uh te David loh a hmuh vaengah camoe duek tila David loh a yakming. Te vaengah David loh a sal rhoek te, “Camoe te duek coeng a?” a ti nah hatah, “Duek coeng,” a ti na uh.
20 Then David got up from the ground, washed and anointed himself, changed his clothes, and went into the house of the LORD and worshiped. Then he went to his own house, and at his request they set food before him, and he ate.
Te daengah David te diklai lamloh thoo tih, pumrho a silh, situi a hluk, a himbai hainak te a tho. Te phoeiah BOEIPA kah im te a paan tih a bawk. Amah im la a mael phoeiah caak a hoe dongah a tawn pa uh tih a caak.
21 “What is this you have done?” his servants asked. “While the child was alive, you fasted and wept, but when he died, you got up and ate.”
Te vaengah a sal rhoek loh amah taengah, “Hebang khoboe he metlam nim, camoe a hing vaengah caak yaeh na saii tih na rhap. Camoe a duek vaengah nim na thoo tih buh na caak,” a ti na uh.
22 David answered, “While the child was alive, I fasted and wept, for I said, ‘Who knows? The LORD may be gracious to me and let him live.’
Tedae, “Camoe a hing vaengah caak ka yaeh tih ka rhah te, ‘U long a ming, BOEIPA kai he n'rhen khaw n'rhen mai vetih camoe te hing mai mako,’ ka ti dae ta.
23 But now that he is dead, why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him, but he will not return to me.”
Tedae a duek coeng dongah ba ham lae kai loh ka yaeh voel eh. Anih ha mael ham te ka saii thai aya? Kamah tah anih taengla ka cet suidae anih tah kai taengla ha mael pawh,” a ti.
24 Then David comforted his wife Bathsheba, and he went to her and lay with her. So she gave birth to a son, and they named him Solomon. Now the LORD loved the child
Te phoeiah David loh a yuu Bathsheba te a hloep tih a taengla a kun thil. Te vaengah anih te a yalh puei tih ca tongpa a sak pah. A ming a sak vaengah Solomon la a sak tih BOEIPA loh anih a lungnah.
25 and sent word through Nathan the prophet to name him Jedidiah because the LORD loved him.
Te dongah tonghma Nathan kut ah ol a pat tih camoe ming te BOEIPA kah Jedidiah la a khue.
26 Meanwhile, Joab fought against Rabbah of the Ammonites and captured the royal fortress.
Te vaengah Joab loh Ammon koca rhoek kah Rabbah te a vathoh thil tih mangpa khopuei te a rhawt pah.
27 Then Joab sent messengers to David to say, “I have fought against Rabbah and have captured the water supply of the city.
Te vaengah Joab loh David taengah puencawn a tueih tih, “Rabbah te ka vathoh thil tih, tui kah khopuei te khaw ka buem coeng.
28 Now, therefore, assemble the rest of the troops, lay siege to the city, and capture it. Otherwise I will capture the city, and it will be named after me.”
Te dongah pilnam hlangrhuel te coi laeh. Khopuei te rhaeh thil lamtah buem laeh. Kamah loh khopuei te ka buem vetih kamah ming la ka khue ve,” a ti nah.
29 So David assembled all the troops and went to Rabbah; and he fought against it and captured it.
Te dongah David loh pilnam te boeih a coi tih Rabbah la cet. Te phoeiah a vathoh thil bal tih Rabbah te buem.
30 Then he took the crown from the head of their king. It weighed a talent of gold and was set with precious stones, and it was placed on David’s head. And David took a great amount of plunder from the city.
A manghai kah rhuisam te a lu dong lamkah a dul pah vaengah sui neh lung vang te a khiing he talent khat lo. Te te David lu dongah a khuem tih khopuei kah kutbuem a loh khaw muep yet.
31 David brought out the people who were there and put them to work with saws, iron picks, and axes, and he made them work at the brick kilns. He did the same to all the Ammonite cities. Then David and all his troops returned to Jerusalem.
A khuikah pilnam te a khuen tih hlawh taengah, thi tlang taengah, thi yoeng taengah a khueh. Amih te taptlang dongah a tueih. Te tlam te Ammon koca rhoek kah khopuei tom te a saii daengah David neh pilnam pum loh Jerusalem la mael pueng.
