2 Samuel 12
1 The Lord sent Nathan to see David. When he got there, he said, “Once there were two men living in the same town. One was rich, and one was poor.
BAWIPA ni Devit koe Nathan hah a patoun. Nathan ni a kâen teh Oe siangpahrang, kho buet touh dawk tami kahni touh ao, buet touh teh ka tawnta e tami, buet touh teh ka roedeng e tami.
2 The rich man had many thousands of sheep and cattle,
Ka tawnta e ni teh maito hoi tu moikapap a tawn.
3 but the poor man didn't have anything but one small ewe lamb that he had bought. He cared for it, and it grew up with him and his children. It would eat from his plate and drank from his cup. It slept on his lap and was like a daughter to him.
Ka roedeng e tami teh tulaca buet touh a ran teh a paca e hloilah alouke hno banghai tawn hoeh. Hote tulaca teh ama hoi a canaw hoi rei ao awh teh a roung awh. Rawca hai rei a hmawng awh. Tui hai rei a nei awh. A bawipa e a lungtabue dawk kaawm e a canu patetlah doeh ao.
4 One day the rich man had a visitor. He didn't want to take one of his own sheep or cattle to feed his visitor. He took the poor man's lamb instead to prepare a meal for his visitor.”
Ka tawnta e im dawk imyin buet touh a tho teh imyin paca hanelah amae tu hoi maitonaw thei hane a pasai teh ka roedeng e tulaca hah a la teh imyin hanelah a thawng pouh, telah atipouh.
5 David became absolutely furious with what that man did, and angrily told Nathan. “As the Lord lives, the man who did this should be put to death!
Devit teh hote tami lathueng puenghoi a lungkhuek teh, Nathan koevah BAWIPA a hring e patetlah hot patetlae hno ka sak e teh a due hane roe doeh.
6 He must repay that lamb with four of his own for doing this, for being so heartless.”
Pahrennae tawn laipalah, hot patetlae hno a sak dawkvah, tulaca yueng lah let pali touh hoi patho naseh telah ati.
7 “You are that man!” Nathan told David. “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I anointed you king of Israel, and I saved you from Saul.
Nathan ni Devit koe ahni teh alouke tami nahoeh. Nang hah doeh. Isarel BAWIPA Cathut ni a dei e teh, Isarel siangpahrang lah satui na awi teh Sawl e kut dawk hoi na hlout sak.
8 I gave your master's house to you and placed your master's wives in your lap. I gave you the kingdom of Israel and Judah, and if that hadn't been enough, I would have given you so much more.
Na bawipa im dawk e râwnaw na coe sak, na bawipa e yunaw hai na lungtabue dawk ka hruek, Isarel imthung hoi Judah imthung hai na poe. Hotnaw hah youn rah pawiteh alouke hno hai na poe sin han rah.
9 So why have you treated what Lord said with contempt by doing evil in his sight? You killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword and stole his wife—you killed him using the sword of the Ammonites.
Nang teh BAWIPA e kâlawk poe e na noutna hoeh. Bangkongmaw ka hmaitung vah kahawihoehe hno na sak. Hit tami Uriah hringnae tahloi hoi na thei teh, a yu hah na lawp. Ammonnaw hoi ahni teh tahloi hoi na thei.
10 So your descendants will always face the sword that kills because you treated me with contempt and stole Uriah's wife.
Nang ni kai banglahai na noutna hoeh teh Hit tami Uriah e yu na la dawkvah, na imthungnaw teh tahloi hoi pou a kâhmo awh han toe.
11 This is what the Lord says: I'm going to bring disaster in you from your own family. I will take your wives before your very eyes and give them to someone else, and he will sleep openly with your wives where everyone can see.
BAWIPA ni a dei e teh, na imthung dawk hoi hno kahawihoehe ka tho sak han. Na hmaitung vah na yunaw ka la vaiteh, na imri hah ka poe vaiteh, kanîthun vah a ikhai awh han.
12 You did it all in secret, but I will do it openly where everyone in all of Israel can see.”
Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang ni arulahoi na sak, hatei kai ni Isarelnaw hmaitung kanî hmalah kamnue sak han telah ati.
13 David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the Lord.” “The Lord has forgiven your sins. You're not going to die,” Nathan replied.
Devit ni Nathan koevah, kai ni BAWIPA koe ka payon toe telah ati. Nathan ni Devit koevah, BAWIPA ni hai na yonnae na la pouh toe. Na dout mahoeh.
14 “But because by doing this you have treated the Lord with complete contempt, the son you have will die.”
Hateiteh, nang ni hottelah na payonnae lahoi BAWIPA e tarannaw koe dudam nahanelah na poe dawkvah, atu na hmu e na ca hah a due roeroe han telah atipouh. Hahoi Nathan ni a im lah a ban takhai.
15 Then Nathan went home. The Lord made the child that Uriah's wife had borne to David become very sick.
Uriah e yu ni Devit hanelah a khe pouh e capa hah BAWIPA ni a hem teh ka nut lah a pataw.
16 David pleaded with God on behalf of the boy. He fasted, went to his bedroom, and spent the night lying in sackcloth on the ground.
Hatdawkvah, Devit ni camo hanelah Cathut koe a kâhei. Rawcahai laihoi karum tuettuet talai dawk a yan.
17 His senior officials approached him and tried to help him up from the ground, but he didn't want to, and he refused their appeals to eat.
A imthungnaw dawk e kacuenaw a thaw awh teh a pathaw awh hanelah a teng vah a kangdue awh. Hatei thaw ngai hoeh, ahnimouh koe rawcahai cat hoeh.
18 On the seventh day the child died. But David's officials were scared to tell him that the child was dead, for they said to each other, “Look, while the child was still alive, we talked with him, and he refused to listen to us. How on earth can we tell him the child is dead? He may do something really bad!”
Asari hnin vah camo teh a due. Camo a due tie a sannaw ni Devit koe dei ngam awh hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh ahnimouh ni camo a hring nah maimouh ni dei e lawk hah thai han ngai hoeh, camo a due toe telah bangtelamaw maimouh ni dei ngam awh han. Amahoima runae kâpoe payon vaih telah ati awh.
19 But David saw his officials were whispering among themselves, he realized that the child was dead. So he asked his officials, “Did the child die?” “Yes, he died,” they replied.
Devit ni hottelah a sannaw ni arulawk duem a dei e a thai navah, camo a due tie Devit ni a panue. Hatdawkvah, Devit ni a sannaw koevah, camo a due toung maw telah ati. Ahnimouh ni oe a due toe telah atipouh awh.
20 David got up from the ground, washed and put on scented oils, and changed his clothes. Then he went to the house of the Lord and worshiped. Afterwards he went back home, and asked for some food. So they served him a meal which he ate.
Devit teh talai dawk hoi a thaw teh hak a kâpasu teh satui a kâhluk, a khohna a kâpahoung teh BAWIPA e im lah a cei teh a bawk. A im lah bout a ban teh bu ca hane a hei navah, a sannaw ni a rakueng pouh awh teh a ca.
21 “Why are you acting like this?” his officials asked him. “While the child was still alive, you fasted and cried aloud, but now that he's dead, you get up and eat.”
A sannaw ni na hno na sak e hah bangmaw, camo a hring navah rawca nahai teh na khuika, hatei camo a due toteh na thaw teh rawca na ca telah atipouh awh.
22 David replied, “While the child was still alive, I fasted and cried aloud, for I thought to myself, ‘Who knows? Maybe the Lord will be gracious to me and let him live.’
Devit ni Oe, camo a hring navah rawca kahai teh ka ka, camo heh a hring thai nahan BAWIPA ni a pahren talang teh tie apinimaw a dei thai han ka ti dawk doeh.
23 But now that he's dead, what's the point for me to go on fasting? Can I bring him back again? One day I will die and go to him, but he will never come back to me.”
Atuteh camo a due toe, bangkongmaw rawca kahai han vaw, bout ka hring sak thai han na maw. Ahni koe kai ka cei han, ahni teh kai koe bout ban mahoeh toe telah ati.
24 David consoled his wife Bathsheba, and he made love to her. She gave birth to a son, and named him Solomon. The Lord loved the child,
Devit ni a yu Bathsheba hah a lung a pahawi. Ahni koe a kâen teh a ikhai. Ahni ni ca tongpa buet touh a khe teh Solomon telah min a phung. Ahni teh BAWIPA ni a lung a pataw.
25 so he sent a message through Nathan the prophet to name him Jedidiah, because the Lord loved him.
Profet Nathan hah a patoun teh camo e min teh BAWIPA e Jedidiah telah min a phung.
26 At this time Joab had been fighting against the Ammonite town of Rabbah, and had captured the royal fortress.
Joab ni Ammon ram Rabbah kho hah a tuk teh khopui hah a la.
27 Joab sent messengers to David to tell him, “I have attacked Rabbah and I have also captured its water supply.
Joab ni Devit koe patounenaw a patoun teh kai ni Rabbah kho ka tuk, tui kapoekung khopui hah ka la.
28 So please call up the rest of the army, besiege the town, and capture it. Otherwise I will capture the city, and I will get the credit.”
Atuvah, ka cawi rae taminaw pâkhueng awh, khopui teng tumpup awh nateh tuk awh nateh lat awh. Khopui ka la vaiteh kama e ka min lahoi ka kaw han telah ati.
29 So David called up the rest of the army and marched on Rabbah. He attacked it and captured it.
Devit ni tami pueng a pâkhueng teh Rabbah vah a cei awh, a tuk awh teh a la awh.
30 He took the crown from the head of their king, and it was placed on David's head. It weighed a talent of gold and was decorated with precious stones. David took a large amount of plunder from the town.
Hahoi ahnimae siangpahrangnaw e bawilakhung a kâmuk e a la pouh awh. Sui talen buet touh a ri, aphukaawm e talung hai ao. Devit a kâmuk sak awh. Kho thung e hno moi a lawp awh.
31 David took the inhabitants and forced them to work with saws, iron picks, and axes, and he also made them work making bricks. He did the same in all the Ammonite towns. Then David and the whole Israelite army returned to Jerusalem.
Kho thung e khocanaw a tâco sak awh teh, hlaw hoi sumtaboung hoi cakâ hoi thaw a tawk sak awh teh, amhru hai a sak sak awh. Ammonnaw e khopuinaw hah hottelah a sak awh. Devit hoi a taminaw pueng Jerusalem kho lah a ban awh.
