2 Samuel 12
1 Then the Lord sent Nathan to David. And when he had come to him, he said to him: “Two men were in one city: one wealthy, and the other poor.
Jehova Nyasaye nooro Nathan ir Daudi. Kane ochopo ire nowachone niya, “Ne nitie ji ariyo moko e dala moro; achiel ne jamoko to machielo nodhier.
2 The wealthy man had very many sheep and oxen.
Jamoko ne nigi rombe mangʼeny gi dhok,
3 But the poor man had nothing at all, except one little sheep, which he had bought and nourished. And she had grown up before him, together with his children, eating from his bread, and drinking from his cup, and sleeping in his bosom. And she was like a daughter to him.
to ngʼat modhier to ne onge gimoro makmana nyarombo ma sibini achiel mane osengʼiewo. Norite maber mana kaka norito nyithinde owuon. Nyarombono nopogone chiembe mochamo, ne omodho e okombene kendo nonindo e bade. Ne ochalne mana ka nyathine ma nyako.
4 But when a certain traveler had come to the wealthy man, neglecting to take from his own sheep and oxen, so that he might present a feast for that traveler, who had come to him, he took the sheep of the poor man, and he prepared a meal for the man who had come to him.”
“Koro jawuoth moro nobiro ir jamoko-cha, to jamokono ne ok okawo achiel kuom rombe kata dhoge mondo oyangʼ ni jawuodhno mane obiro ireno. Kata kamano, nyarombo ma sibini mar jadhierno ema noyangʼone wendo mane obiro ire.”
5 Then David’s indignation was enraged exceedingly against that man, and he said to Nathan: “As the Lord lives, the man who has done this is a son of death.
Mirima malich ne omako Daudi gi ngʼatno mowachone Nathan niya, “Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima ni ngʼat mane otimo kama owinjore otho!
6 He shall restore the sheep fourfold, because he did this word, and he did not take pity.”
Nyaka ochul kar rombono moloyo nyadingʼwen, nikech ne otimo gima chalo kama, ka chunye onge gi kech.”
7 But Nathan said to David: “You are that man. Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: ‘I anointed you as king over Israel, and I rescued you from the hand of Saul.
Eka Nathan nodimbo wach ne Daudi niya, “In e ngʼatno! Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel wacho: ‘Ne awiri mondo ibed ruoth Israel, ne agoli e lwet Saulo.
8 And I gave the house of your lord to you, and the wives of your lord into your bosom. And I gave the house of Israel and of Judah to you. And as if these things were small, I shall add much greater things to you.
Ne amiyi od ruodhi mondo obed mari, kendo naketo monde ruodhi e lweti. Ne amiyi dhout Israel gi dhood Juda. To ka magi ne ok oromi to pod ne anyalo miyi moko.
9 Therefore, why have you despised the word of the Lord, so that you did evil in my sight? You have struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword. And you have taken his wife as a wife for yourself. And you have put him to death with the sword of the sons of Ammon.
Angʼo momiyo isechayo wach Jehova Nyasaye ka itimo gima rach machal kama e wangʼe? Ne inego Uria ja-Hiti gi ligangla mi ikawo chiege mondo obed mari iwuon. Ne inege gi ligangla jo-Amon.
10 For this reason, the sword shall not withdraw from your house, even perpetually, because you have despised me, and you have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite, so that she may be your wife.’
Kuom mano, negruok gi ligangla ok norum e odi, nikech ne ichaya mi ikawo chi Uria ja-Hiti mobedo mari iwuon.’
11 And so, thus says the Lord: ‘Behold, I will raise up over you an evil from your own house. And I will take your wives away before your eyes, and I will give them to your neighbor. And he will sleep with your wives in the sight of this sun.
“Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: ‘Anakelni masira kowuok e odi iwuon. Mana kineno kama gi wangʼi iwuon abiro kawo mondi kendo miyogi achiel kuom joma chiegni kodi, kendo obiro terore kod mondegi odiechiengʼ alanga.
12 For you acted secretly. But I will do this word in the sight of all of Israel, and in the sight of the sun.’”
Nitimo gino apanda, to an abiro timo ma odiechiengʼ alanga e nyim jo-Israel.’”
13 And David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the Lord.” And Nathan said to David: “The Lord has also taken away your sin. You shall not die.
Eka Daudi nowachone Nathan niya, “Asekethone Jehova Nyasaye.” Nathan nodwoko niya, “Jehova Nyasaye oseweyoni richoni. Ok ibi tho.
14 Yet truly, because you have given occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme, because of this word, the son who was born to you: dying he shall die.”
To nikech gima isetimo, isemiyo jowasigu ojaro Jehova Nyasaye, omiyo wuodi monywolno biro tho.”
15 And Nathan returned to his own house. And the Lord struck the little one, whom the wife of Uriah had borne to David, and he was despaired of.
Bangʼ kane Nathan osedhi dala, Jehova Nyasaye nogoyo nyathi ma chi Uria nosenywolo ni Daudi gi tuo.
16 And David begged the Lord on behalf of the little one. And David fasted strictly, and entering alone, he lay upon the ground.
Daudi nolamo Nyasaye mondo kik nyathi tho. Notweyo chiemo kendo nodhi e ode mi onindo piny e lowo otieno ka otieno.
17 Then the elders of his house came, urging him to rise up from the ground. And he was not willing, nor would he eat a meal with them.
Jodongo mag ode nochungʼ bathe mondo gichunge owe nindo piny e lowo, to notamore, kendo ne ok onyal chamo chiemo moro amora.
18 Then, on the seventh day, it happened that the infant died. And the servants of David were afraid to report to him that the little one had died. For they said: “Behold, when the child was still alive, we were speaking to him, but he would not listen to our voice. How much more will he afflict himself, if we tell him that the boy is dead?”
To chiengʼ mar abiriyo nyathi notho, jotij Daudi ne luor nyise ni nyathi osetho, nikech negiparo niya, “Kane nyathi pod ngima, ne wawuoyo gi Daudi to ne ok owinjowa. Koro to wadhi wacho ne nangʼo ka nyathi osetho? Onyalo timo gimoro marach.”
19 But when David had seen his servants whispering, he realized that the infant had died. And he said to his servants, “Is the child dead?” And they responded to him, “He is dead.”
Daudi noneno ka jotije kuodho wach kendgi mine ongʼeyo ni nyathi osetho. Nopenjo niya, “Nyathi osetho?” Negidwoke niya, “Ee, osetho.”
20 Therefore, David rose up from the ground. And he washed and anointed himself. And when he had changed his clothing, he entered the house of the Lord, and he worshiped. Then he went to his own house, and he asked them to place bread before him, and he ate.
Daudi noa malo e lowo. Kane oseluokore, nowirore gi mo moloko lewni mane orwako, nodhi e od Jehova Nyasaye mi olemo. Bangʼe nodhi e ode owuon, mine okwayo chiemo momiye mochamo.
21 But his servants said to him: “What is this word that you have done? You fasted and were weeping, on behalf of the infant, while he was still alive. But when the boy was dead, you arose and ate bread.”
Jotije nopenje niya, “Itimori kama nangʼo? Kane nyathi pod ngima, ne itweyo chiemo kendo ne iywak. To ka nyathi koro osetho, to ichungʼ kendo ichiemo!”
22 And he said: “While he was yet alive, I fasted and wept on behalf of the infant. For I said: Who knows if the Lord may perhaps give him to me, and let the infant live?
Nodwokogi niya, “Kane nyathi pod ngima ne atweyo chiemo kendo aywak. Nikech ne aparo ni, ‘Ngʼama dingʼe? Dipo ka Jehova Nyasaye nyalo timona ngʼwono miwe nyathi obed mangima.’
23 But now that he is dead, why should I fast? Would I be able to bring him back anymore? Instead, I will go to him. Yet truly, he will not return to me.”
To nikech koro osetho, angʼo dimi atwe chiemo? Bende daduoge obed mangima? An ema abiro dhi ire to en ok onyal duogo ira.”
24 And David consoled his wife Bathsheba. And entering to her, he slept with her. And she bore a son, and he called his name Solomon, and the Lord loved him.
Daudi nohoyo Bathsheba chiege, nodhi ire mobedo kode e achiel. Nonywolo wuowi kendo negichake ni Solomon. Jehova Nyasaye ne ohere;
25 And he sent, by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and he called his name, Beloved of the Lord, because the Lord loved him.
kendo nikech Jehova Nyasaye nohere, nomiyo Nathan janabi wach ni mondo ochake ni Jedidia.
26 And then Joab fought against Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, and he fought outside the royal city.
Kata kamano Joab nodhi nyime kedo gi Raba e piny jo-Amon kendo nomako kar ruoth mochiel motegno.
27 And Joab sent messengers to David, saying: “I have struggled against Rabbah, and so the City of Waters will soon be seized.
Joab nooro joote ir Daudi, kowacho niya, “Asekedo gi Raba ma amako kargi mar pi.
28 Now therefore, gather the remaining portion of the people together, and besiege the city and take it. Otherwise, when the city will have been laid waste by me, the victory will be ascribed to my name.”
Koro bi gi jolweny duto mondo ilwor dala maduongʼ kendo ikawe. Ka ok kamano to abiro kawo dala maduongʼno kendo ibiro luonge gi nyinga.”
29 And so David gathered together all the people, and he set out against Rabbah. And after he had fought, he seized it.
Omiyo Daudi nochoko jolweny duto modhigo Raba mi omonje kendo okawe.
30 And he took the crown of their king from his head. The weight of it was a talent of gold, having the most precious gems. And it was placed upon the head of David. Moreover, he carried away the spoils of the city, which were very many.
Nogolo osimbo mar duongʼ ewi ruodhgi, ma pek dhahabu mane olosego ne romo kilo piero adek gangʼwen kendo noduse gi kite ma nengogi tek mi osidhne Daudi. Noyako gik mangʼeny e dala maduongʼno
31 Also, bringing forth its people, he sawed them, and he drove over them with iron wagons, and he divided them with knives, and he dragged them through brick kilns. So he did to all the citizens of the sons of Ammon. And David returned, with the entire army, to Jerusalem.
kendo nokawo ji duto mane ni e dalano, moketogi e tij ngʼeto gi musimeno kod tiyo gi chumbe gi ledhi; bende ne oketogi jolos matafare. Notimo ma ni mier duto mag jo-Amon. Eka Daudi gi jolwenje duto nodok Jerusalem.
