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.
LEUM GOD El supwalla mwet palu Nathan nu yorol David. Na Nathan el som ac fahk nu sel, “Oasr mwet luo muta in siti sefanna. Sie seltal kasrup, a ma se ngia sukasrup.
2 The rich man had a great number of sheep and cattle,
Mwet se ma kasrup ah, pukanten sheep ac cow natul,
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.
a mwet se ma sukasrup ah, sheep fusr sokofanna natul, ma el tuh molela. El karinganang sheep fusr soko ah in lohm sel sifacna, ac el wi na tulik natul ah kapak. Mukul sac el kital ke mongo nal sifacna, ac sang el nimnim ke cup na lal, ac el muta sruokol finyepal. El oakoaki sheep fusr soko ah oana in tulik mutan se natul.
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.”
Sie len ah mwet fufahsryesr se tuku nu in lohm sin mwet kasrup sac. Na mwet kasrup sac tia lungse uniya soko sin kosro natul ah in orala sie mongo ah nal, a el usla sheep fusr soko nutin mwet sukasrup sac ac sang orala mongo se nu sin mwet mutwata se lal ah.”
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!
David el arulana kasrkusrak sin mwet kasrup sac, ac fahk, “Nga fulahk Inen LEUM GOD moul, lah fal na mwet se ma orala ma se inge in misa!
6 Because he has done this thing and has shown no pity, he must pay for the lamb four times over.”
Ke sripen lumah na sulallal se el oru ingan, el enenu na elan akfalye molin ma el eisla pacl akosr yohk liki!”
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.
Nathan el fahk nu sel David, “Kom pa mwet sac! Na pa inge ma LEUM GOD lun Israel El fahk: ‘Nga oru tuh kom in tokosra lun Israel, ac nga molikomla lukel Saul.
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.
Nga sot tokosrai lal ac mutan kial nu sum, ac nga oru tuh kom in tokosra lun Israel ac Judah. Funu sufalla ma inge, nga lukun sot pacl luo yohk liki na.
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.
Na efu kom ku seakos ma nga sapkin uh? Efu kom ku oru ma koluk se inge? Kom oru Uriah elan anwuki ke mweun ah — kom lela tuh mwet Ammon ah in unilya, na kom eisla mutan kial ah!
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.’
Inge, in fwil nukewa tok uh, kutu sin tulik nutum uh ac fah misa ke ouiyen misa na keok mweyen kom tuh seakosyu ac eisla mutan kial Uriah ah.
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.
Nga fulahk nu sum lah nga ac oru tuh sie mwet in sou lom sifacna in pwanma mwe tukulkul nu fom. Kom ac fah liye ke nga ac eisla mutan kiom an ac sang nu sin sie pacna mukul, ac el ac fah oan yorolos ye mutun mwet uh.
12 You have acted in secret, but I will do this thing in broad daylight before all Israel.’”
Kom tuh oru ma koluk yen lukma, a nga ac fah oru tuh ma inge in sikyak yen na kalem, tuh mwet Israel nukewa in liye.’”
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.
David el fahk, “Nga orekma koluk lain LEUM GOD.” Ac Nathan el fahk, “LEUM GOD El nunak munas nu sum. Kom ac tia misa.
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.”
Tusruktu, ke sripen kom tuh arulana pilesru LEUM GOD ac oru ma inge uh, tulik se nutum inge ac misa.”
15 After Nathan had gone home, the LORD struck the child that Uriah’s wife had borne to David, and he became ill.
Na Nathan el som nu lohm sel ah. LEUM GOD El oru tuh tulik se mutan kial Uriah ah oswela nu sel David in arulana mas.
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.
David el pre nu sin God tulik sac in kwela. El tiana lungse mongo, ac fong nukewa el ac utyak nu infukil sel ac motullana in fohk uh.
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.
Mwet pwapa fulat lal ac som nu yorol ac srike in oru elan tukakek tuh el srangesr, ac el tia pac lungse mongo yorolos.
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.”
Wik se tok ah tulik sac misa, ac mwet pwapa lal ah sangeng in fahk nu sel. Elos mu, “Ke pacl se tulik sac srakna moul, David el tia lungse topuk kut ke kut kaskas nu sel uh. Kut ac fahk fuka lah tulik se natul ah misa? Kut sensen el ac oru sie ma upa nu sel sifacna!”
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.
Ke David el liye lah elos mahma nu sin sie sin sie, el akilen lah tulik sac misa. Na el siyuk selos, “Ku tulik sac misa?” Ac elos fahk, “Aok, el misa.”
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.
David el tukakek liki infohk uh, ac el yihla, ayaolla, ac kawia sifal. Na el som nu in lohm sin LEUM GOD ac alu. Ke el folokla nu lohm sel ah, el siyukyuk mongo, ac pacl se na itukyang nu sel el mutawauk mongo.
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.”
Mwet pwapa lal ah fahk nu sel, “Kut tiana kalem ke ma kom oru inge. Ke tulik sac srakna moul ah, kom tung kacl ac srunga mongo. Na inge el tufahna misa a kom tukakek ac mongo!”
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.’
David el topuk ac fahk, “Aok, nga tuh lalo ac tung ke tulik sac srakna moul. Nga tuh nunku mu sahp LEUM GOD El ac pakoten nu sik, ac tia lela tulik sac in misa.
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.”
A inge, ke el misa tari, efu ku ngan lalo? Ya nga ku in folokonma tulik sac elan moulyak? Sie len nga ac fah som nu yen el oasr we, tuh el tia ku in foloko nu yuruk.”
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
Na David el akpwaryal Bathsheba, mutan kial, ac el oan yorol, na mutan sac el oswela sie wen, ac David el sang inel Solomon. LEUM GOD El lungse tulik mukul sac,
25 and sent word through Nathan the prophet to name him Jedidiah because the LORD loved him.
ac El sapkin nu sel Nathan, mwet palu, elan sang inen tulik mukul sac Jedidiah, mweyen LEUM GOD El lungse el.
26 Meanwhile, Joab fought against Rabbah of the Ammonites and captured the royal fortress.
In pacl se inge Joab el srakna mweun lain acn Rabbah, su siti fulat lun acn Ammon, ac el apkuran in sruokya.
27 Then Joab sent messengers to David to say, “I have fought against Rabbah and have captured the water supply of the city.
El supwala mwet utuk kas in tuh fahk nu sel David, “Nga utyak ac mweuni acn Rabbah, ac nga sruokya tari acn se kof lalos ah tuku we me.
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.”
Inge kom orani mwet mweun lula lom an, ac fahsru nu Rabbah, kom in sifacna sruokya siti uh. Nga tia lungse in fwack mu nga pa eisla uh.”
29 So David assembled all the troops and went to Rabbah; and he fought against it and captured it.
Ouinge David el orani mwet mweun lal ac som nu Rabbah. El mweuni acn we ac kutangla.
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.
David el eisla tefuro gold se liki sifen ma sruloala se pangpang Molech, god lun mwet Ammon. Toasriyen tefuro sac akuran paun itngoul limekosr. Oasr sie eot saok kac, su David el eisla sang nu ke tefuro lal sifacna. El oayapa usla ma wap pukanten liki siti sac.
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.
El sap mwet we ah in fahsr orekma ke tahta, ac mwe pukpuk osra, oayapa tuhla osra, ac el akkohsyelos in orek brick. El oayapa oru lumah se inge nu sin mwet in siti srisrik nukewa in acn Ammon. Na el, ac mwet lal ah, folokla nu Jerusalem.
