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.
Alò, SENYÈ a te voye Nathan kote David. Li te vin kote li e te di: “Te genyen de mesye nan yon vil, youn te rich e lòt la te pòv.
2 The rich man had exceeding many sheep and oxen.
Nonm rich la te gen anpil bann mouton avèk twoupo,
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.
men pòv la, pa t gen anyen sof ke yon sèl ti mouton femèl, ke li te achte e li te nouri. Konsa, li te vin gran ansanm avèk li menm avèk pitit li yo. Li ta manje nan pen li, bwè nan tas li, kouche sou vant li e se te tankou yon 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.
Alò, yon vwayajè te vin kote nonm rich la e li pa t dakò retire nan pwòp bann mouton ak twoupo pa li yo, pou fè pwovizyon pou li. Sof ke sa, li te pran mouton femèl a pòv sila pou prepare pou nonm ki te rive kote 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.
Alò, kòlè a David te brile fò kont nonm nan, e li te di a Nathan: “Jan SENYÈ a viv la, anverite, mesye ki te fè sa a merite lanmò.
6 He shall restore the ewe fourfold, because he did this thing, and had no pity.
Fòk li bay rekonpans pou ti mouton an kat fwa; paske li te fè bagay sa a 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,
Alò, Nathan te di David: “Mesye a se ou menm! Konsa di SENYÈ a, Bondye a Israël la: ‘Se Mwen ki te onksyone ou kòm wa sou Israël e se mwen ki te delivre ou soti nan men a Saül.
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.
Se Mwen menm tou ki te ba ou lakay mèt ou a ak madanm a mèt ou yo pou ou ta pran swen e Mwen te ba ou lakay Israël la avèk Juda. Epi si sa te twò piti, mwen t ap menm ajoute ba ou ankò anpil lòt bagay tankou sila yo!
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 ou te meprize pawòl SENYÈ a e fè mal devan zye Li? Ou te fè tonbe Urie, Itit la avèk nepe, ou te pran madanm li kòm madanm ou e ou te touye li avèk nepe a fis Ammon yo.
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, pou sa, nepe p ap janm kite lakay ou, akoz ou te meprize Mwen e te pran madanm a Urie, Itit la pou devni madanm ou.’
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.
“Konsa pale SENYÈ a: ‘Gade byen, Mwen va fè leve mal kont ou soti nan pwòp kay ou. Mwen va menm pran madanm ou yo devan zye ou e bay a zanmi parèy ou e li va kouche avèk madanm ou yo gwo lajounen.
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.
Anverite, ou te fè l an sekrè; men Mwen va fè bagay sa a devan tout Israël ak anba solèy la.’”
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.
Epi David te di a Nathan: “Mwen te peche kont SENYÈ a.” Nathan te di a David: “SENYÈ a, anplis, te retire peche ou; 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.
Malgre sa, akoz zak sa a, ke ou te bay okazyon a lènmi a SENYÈ yo pou fè blasfèm, pitit la ki va fèt a ou menm nan va anverite, 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.
Konsa, Nathan te ale lakay li. Epi SENYÈ a te frape pitit ke vèv Urie te fè pou David la, jiskaske li te vin byen malad.
16 And David besought the Lord for the child: and David kept a fast, and going in by himself lay upon the ground.
Pou sa, David te mande Bondye pou pitit la. Li te fè jèn e li te ale kouche tout nwit lan 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.
Ansyen lakay li yo te kanpe akote li pou leve li atè a, men li pa t dakò e li pa t 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?
Konsa, li te vin rive nan setyèm jou a ke pitit la te vin mouri. Epi sèvitè a David yo te krent pou di l ke pitit la te mouri, paske yo te di: “Gade byen, pandan pitit la te vivan an, nou te pale avèk li e li pa t tande vwa nou. Konsa, kòman nou kab di li ke pitit la mouri, paske li kab fè tèt li mal?”
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 lè David te wè ke sèvitè li yo t ap pale an kachèt ansanm, David te apèsi ke pitit la te mouri. Pou sa, David te di a sèvitè li yo: “Èske pitit la mouri?” Yo te di: “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.
Konsa, David te leve soti atè a. Li te lave tèt li, li te onksyone kò l, e li te chanje rad li. Konsa, li te antre lakay SENYÈ a pou te adore. Epi li te vin nan pwòp kay li. Lè li te mande, yo te mete manje devan li pou l te 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.
Sèvitè li yo te di li: “Se ki bagay sa ou te fè a? Pandan pitit la te vivan an, ou te fè jèn e te kriye, men lè pitit la te mouri, ou te leve pou te 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?
Li te di: “Pandan pitit la te vivan an, mwen te fè jèn e te kriye; paske mwen te di: ‘Kilès ki te kab konnen, SENYÈ a ta kab petèt fè m gras, pou pitit la te kab viv.’
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, li fin mouri. Poukisa mwen ta fè jèn? Èske mwen kapab fè l retounen ankò? Mwen va ale jwenn li, men li p ap retounen kote mwen.”
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.
Konsa, David te rekonfòte madanm li, Bath-Schéba. Li te antre nan li e li te kouche avèk li. Li te bay nesans a yon fis e li te rele li Salomon. Alò, SENYÈ a te renmen li.
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 te voye nouvèl la pa Nathan, pwofèt la e Nathan te rele li Jedidja pou koz SENYÈ a.
26 And Joab fought against Rabbath of the children of Ammon, and laid close siege to the royal city.
Alò, Joab te goumen kont Rabba, moun nan fis Ammon yo, e li te kaptire vil wayal la.
27 And Joab sent messengers to David, saying: I have fought against Rabbath, and the city of waters is about to be taken.
Joab te voye mesaje yo a David. Li te di: “Mwen te goumen kont Rabba e te kaptire vil 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.
Pou sa, rasanble rès pèp la, e fè kan kont vil la oswa, ma pran pou kont mwen pou l gen non pa m nan.”
29 Then David gathered all the people together, and went out against Rabbath: and after fighting, he took it.
Konsa, David te rasanble tout pèp la pou te ale Rabba. Li te goumen kont li e te kaptire li.
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.
Li te pran kouwòn a wa pa yo a soti nan tèt li. Li te peze yon talan (anviwon trann-kat kilo) an lò, e ladann yon kantite pyè presye. Yo te mete li sou tèt David. Epi li te mennen piyaj la deyò vil la an gran kantite.
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.
Anplis, li te mennen moun ki te ladann l deyò. Li te fè yo travay ak si, avèk pikwa, ak rach an fè, e te fè yo travay nan fou brik. Se konsa li te fè a tout vil ki te pou fis Ammon yo. Epi David avèk tout moun li yo te retounen Jérusalem.
