2 Samuel 12
1 And the Lord sent Nathan to David: and when he was come to him, he said to him: There were two men in one city, the one rich, and the other poor.
Seyè a voye pwofèt Natan kot David. Natan rive kote l', li di l' konsa: -Vwala te gen de nonm ki t'ap viv nan yon lavil. Yonn te rich, lòt la te pòv.
2 The rich man had exceeding many sheep and oxen.
Nonm rich la te gen mouton ak bèf an kantite.
3 But the poor man had nothing at all but one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up, and which had grown up in his house together with his children, eating of his bread, and drinking of his cup, and sleeping in his bosom: and it was unto him as a daughter.
Pòv la menm pa t' gen pase yon sèl ti mouton li te achte. Li swen li. Se anndan lakay li ansanm ak pitit li yo ti mouton an grandi. Se nan asyèt malere a menm ti mouton an te konn manje. Se nan gode l' li bwè dlo. Se sou janm li li konn dòmi. Ti mouton an te tankou yon pitit fi pou li.
4 And when a certain stranger was come to the rich man, he spared to take of his own sheep and oxen, to make a feast for that stranger, who was come to him, but took the poor man’s ewe, and dressed it for the man that was come to him.
Yon jou, yon vizitè vin rive lakay nonm rich la. Nonm rich la pa t' santi kouraj li pou l' te pran yonn nan mouton l' yo osinon nan bèf li yo pou l' fè manje bay vizitè a. Li pran ti mouton malere a, li fe manje ak li bay vizitè ki te lakay li a.
5 And David’s anger being exceedingly kindled against that man, he said to Nathan: As the Lord liveth, the man that hath done this is a child of death.
David fache anpil sou nonm rich la. Li di Natan konsa: -Mwen fè sèman nan non Seyè ki vivan an! Nonm ki fè bagay sa a merite pou yo touye l'.
6 He shall restore the ewe fourfold, because he did this thing, and had no pity.
Pou l' peye bagay lèd li fè a, l'ap renmèt kat fwa lavalè sa l' te pran an, paske li san pitye.
7 And Nathan said to David: Thou art the man. Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee from the hand of Saul,
Le sa a, Natan di David: -Nonm sa a, se ou menm! Men mesaj Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, voye ba ou: Mwen te fè ou wa pèp Izrayèl la. Mwen sove ou anba men Sayil.
8 And gave thee thy master’s house and thy master’s wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and Juda: and if these things be little, I shall add far greater things unto thee.
Mwen ba ou baton kòmandman ki te nan men l' lan ansanm ak tout madanm li yo. Mwen mete ou wa pou gouvènen ni moun Izrayèl yo, ni moun Jida yo. Si sa pa t' kont toujou, mwen ta ba ou menm de fwa lavalè ankò.
9 Why therefore hast thou despised the word of the Lord, to do evil in my sight? Thou hast killed Urias the Hethite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.
Poukisa atò ou pa swiv lòd mwen yo? Poukisa ou fè mechanste sa a? Ou fè yo touye Ouri nan lagè, ou kite moun Amon yo touye l'. Lèfini, ou pran madanm li!
10 Therefore the sword shall never depart from thy house, because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Urias the Hethite to be thy wife.
Koulye a, paske ou pa t' koute m', paske ou pran madan Ouri, moun Et la, pou madanm ou, nan fanmi ou ap toujou gen goumen.
11 Thus saith the Lord: Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thy own house, and I will take thy wives before thy eyes I and give them to thy neighhour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun.
Men sa mwen menm Seyè a, mwen di: M'ap fè yon moun nan fanmi ou menm soti pou ba ou traka. M'ap wete madanm ou yo nan men ou, m'ap bay yon moun nan fanmi ou yo. L'a kouche avèk yo devan tout moun.
12 For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing in the sight of all Israel, and in the sight of the sun.
Ou menm, ou te fè zafè ou la an kachèt. Mwen menm, m'ap fè sa rive devan tout moun pou tout pèp Izrayèl la ka wè sa.
13 And David said to Nathan: I have sinned against the Lord. And Nathan said to David: The Lord also hath taken away thy sin: thou shalt not die.
David di Natan konsa: -Wi, mwen rekonèt mwen peche kont Seyè a! Lè sa a Natan di l' konsa: -Bondye sèl Mèt la p'ap pini ou pou sa ou fè a, ou p'ap mouri.
14 Nevertheless, because thou hast given occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme, for this thing, the child that is born to thee, shall surely die.
Sèlman, ak sa ou fè la a, ou moutre jan ou ka derespekte Seyè a. Se poutèt sa pitit ou fèk genyen an ap mouri.
15 And Nathan returned to his house. The Lord also struck the child which the wife of Urias had borne to David, and his life was despaired of.
Apre sa, Natan al lakay li. Seyè a fè pitit madan Ouri te fè pou David la vin malad grav.
16 And David besought the Lord for the child: and David kept a fast, and going in by himself lay upon the ground.
David tonbe lapriyè Seyè a pou ti gason an. Li derefize mete anyen nan bouch li. Chak swa, li antre nan chanm li, li pase nwit lan kouche atè.
17 And the ancients of his house came, to make him rise from the ground: but he would not, neither did he eat meat with them.
Chèf ki te reskonsab palè li a al jwenn li, yo fè sa yo kapab pou fè l' leve atè a, men li derefize. Konsa tou, li pa t' vle 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 when the child was yet alive, we spoke to him, and he would not hearken to our voice: how much more will he afflict himself if we tell him that the child is dead?
Apre yon senmenn, pitit la mouri. Chèf kay David yo te pè al ba li nouvèl la. Yo t'ap di: Si lè pitit la te malad ase, David te refize reponn nou lè nou pale avè l', ki jan pou n' al di l' koulye a pitit la mouri? Li ka fè malè sou tèt li.
19 But when David saw his servants whispering, he understood that the child was dead: and he said to his servants: Is the child dead? They answered him: He is dead.
Men David wè moun li yo t'ap pale nan zòrèy yonn ak lòt, li vin konprann pitit la mouri. Li mande yo: -Pitit la mouri? Yo reponn li: -Wi, li mouri.
20 Then David arose from the ground, and washed and anointed himself: and when he had changed his apparel, he went into the house of the Lord: and worshipped, and then he came into his own house, and he called for bread, and ate.
David leve atè a, li al benyen, li penyen tèt li, li chanje rad sou li. li ale nan kay Seyè a, li lapriyè. Apre sa, li tounen lakay li, li mande pou yo sèvi l' manje. Li manje.
21 And his servants said to him: What thing is this that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, while it was alive, but when the child was dead, thou didst rise up, and eat bread.
Moun pa l' yo t'ap di l': -Monwa, nou pa konprann sa w'ap fè konsa? Lè pitit la te vivan, ou t'ap plede kriye, ou rete san manje. Men, mouri pitit lan mouri, ou leve, ou manje.
22 And he said: While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept for him: for I said: Who knoweth whether the Lord may not give him to me, and the child may live?
David reponn yo: -Wi, mwen t'ap kriye, mwen te rete san manje lè pitit la te vivan toujou. Mwen te kwè Seyè a ta gen pitye pou mwen, li pa ta kite pitit la mouri.
23 But now that he is dead, why should I fast? Shall I be able to bring him back any more? I shall go to him rather: but he shall not return to me.
Men, koulye a, pitit la mouri, sa m' bezwen rete san manje toujou fè? Eske mwen ka fè l' leve ankò? Yon jou se mwen ki gen pou ale kote l' ye a. Men li menm, li p'ap janm ka tounen vin jwenn mwen ankò.
24 And David comforted Bethsabee his wife, and went in unto her, and slept with her: I and she bore a son, and he called his name Solomon, and the Lord loved him.
Apre sa, David al konsole Batcheba, madanm li. Li kouche avè l', Batcheba vin ansent, li fè yon pitit gason. David rele l' Salomon. Seyè a te renmen ti gason sa a.
25 And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and called his name, Amiable to the Lord, because the Lord loved him.
Li bay pwofèt Natan lòd al di David rele pitit la Jedidya, paske Seyè a te renmen l' vre.
26 And Joab fought against Rabbath of the children of Ammon, and laid close siege to the royal city.
Pandan tout tan sa a, Joab t'ap goumen toujou devan lavil Raba, kapital peyi Amon an. Li te prèt pou pran katye kote wa a te rete a.
27 And Joab sent messengers to David, saying: I have fought against Rabbath, and the city of waters is about to be taken.
Li voye mesaje al di David pou li: -Mwen atake lavil Raba. Mwen pran rezèvwa dlo yo.
28 Now therefore gather thou the rest of the people together, and besiege the city and take it: lest when the city shall be wasted by me, the victory be ascribed to my name.
Koulye a, sanble tout rès lame a, mache sou lavil la, vin pran li. Mwen pa ta vle se mwen menm ki pran lavil la lèfini pou tout lwanj lan vin pou mwen.
29 Then David gathered all the people together, and went out against Rabbath: and after fighting, he took it.
Se konsa, David sanble tout lame a, li mache sou lavil Raba. Li atake l', li pran l'.
30 And he took the crown of their king from his head, the weight of which was a talent of gold, set with most precious stones, and it was put upon David’s head, and the spoils of the city which were very great he carried away.
Estati Milkòm, zidòl moun Amon yo, te gen yon gwo kouwòn fèt an lò sou tèt li. Kouwòn lan te peze swasannkenz liv, li te gen yon gwo pyè koute chè ladan l'. David pran kouwòn lò ki te sou tèt zidòl la, li mete l' sou tèt pa l'. Lèfini, se pa de bagay li pa pran nan lavil la.
31 And bringing forth the people thereof he sawed them, and drove over them chariots armed with iron: and divided them with knives, and made them pass through brickkilns: so did he to all the cities of the children of Ammon: and David returned, with all the army to Jerusalem.
Li pran moun ki te rete nan lavil la, li fè yo travay ak goyin, wou ak rach. Li mete yo travay ap fè brik. Li fè menm bagay la tou nan tout lòt lavil nan peyi Amon an. Apre sa, li tounen Jerizalèm ak tout moun li yo.
