2 Samuel 12
1 Then the Lord sent Nathan vnto Dauid, who came to him, and sayd vnto him, There were two men in one citie, the one riche, and the other poore.
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 sheepe and oxen:
Nonm rich la te gen anpil bann mouton avèk twoupo,
3 But the poore had none at all, saue one litle sheepe which he had bought, and nourished vp: and it grew vp with him, and with his children also, and did eate of his owne morsels, and dranke of his owne cup, and slept in his bosome, and was vnto him as his 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 Now there came a stranger vnto the rich man, who refused to take of his owne sheepe, and of his owne oxen to dresse for the stranger that was come vnto him, but tooke the poore mans sheepe, 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 Then Dauid was exceeding wroth with the man, and sayde to Nathan, As the Lord liueth, the man that hath done this thing, shall surely dye,
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 And he shall restore the lambe foure folde, because he did this thing, and had no pitie thereof.
Fòk li bay rekonpans pou ti mouton an kat fwa; paske li te fè bagay sa a san pitye.”
7 Then Nathan sayd to Dauid, Thou art the man. Thus sayth the Lord God of Israel, I anoynted thee King ouer Israel, and deliuered thee out of 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 gaue thee thy lordes house, and thy lords wiues into thy bosome, and gaue thee the house of Israel, and of Iudah, and would moreouer (if that had bene too litle) haue giuen thee such and such things.
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 Wherefore hast thou despised the commandement of the Lord, to doe euill in his sight? thou hast killed Vriah the Hittite with ye sworde, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slaine him with the sworde 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 Now therefore the sworde shall neuer depart from thine house, because thou hast despised me, and taken the wife of Vriah the Hittite 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 sayth the Lord, Behold, I will rayse vp euil against thee out of thine owne house, and will take thy wiues before thine eyes, and giue them vnto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wiues in the sight of this sunne.
“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 diddest it secretly: but I will doe this thing before all Israel, and before the sunne.
Anverite, ou te fè l an sekrè; men Mwen va fè bagay sa a devan tout Israël ak anba solèy la.’”
13 Then Dauid sayde vnto Nathan, I haue sinned against the Lord. And Nathan sayde vnto Dauid, The Lord also hath put away thy sinne, 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 Howbeit because by this deede thou hast caused the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme, the childe that is borne vnto 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 So Nathan departed vnto his house: and the Lord stroke the childe that Vriahs wife bare vnto Dauid, and it was sicke.
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 Dauid therefore besought God for the childe, and fasted and went in, and lay all night vpon the earth.
Pou sa, David te mande Bondye pou pitit la. Li te fè jèn e li te ale kouche tout nwit lan atè.
17 Then the Elders of his house arose to come vnto him, and to cause him to rise from the groud: but he would not, neither did he eate meate 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 So on the seuenth day the child dyed: and the seruants of Dauid feared to tell him that the childe was dead: for they sayde, Beholde, while the childe was aliue, we spake vnto him, and he woulde not hearken vnto our voyce: how then shall we say vnto him, The childe is dead, to vexe him more?
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 Dauid sawe that his seruantes whispered, Dauid perceiued that the childe was dead: therefore Dauid sayde vnto his seruants, Is the childe dead? And they sayd, 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 Dauid arose from the earth, and washed and anoynted himselfe, and changed his apparell, and came into the house of the Lord, and worshipped, and afterward came to his owne house, and bade that they should set bread before him, and he did eate.
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 Then saide his seruants vnto him, What thing is this, that thou hast done? thou diddest fast and weepe for the childe while it was aliue, but when the childe was dead, thou diddest rise vp, and eate meate.
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 sayde, While the childe was yet aliue, I fasted, and wept: for I sayde, Who can tell whether God will haue mercy on me, that the childe may liue?
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 being dead, wherefore shoulde I now fast? Can I bring him againe any more? I shall goe to him, but he shall not returne 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 Dauid comforted Bath-sheba his wife, and went in vnto her, and lay with her, and she bare a sonne, and he called his name Salomon: also the Lord loued 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 For the Lord had sent by Nathan the Prophet: therefore he called his name Iedidiah, because the Lord loued him.
Li te voye nouvèl la pa Nathan, pwofèt la e Nathan te rele li Jedidja pou koz SENYÈ a.
26 Then Ioab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and tooke the citie of the kingdome.
Alò, Joab te goumen kont Rabba, moun nan fis Ammon yo, e li te kaptire vil wayal la.
27 Therefore Ioab sent messengers to Dauid, saying, I haue fought against Rabbah, and haue taken the citie of waters.
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 the rest of the people together, and besiege the city, that thou mayest take it, lest the victorie be attributed to me.
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 So Dauid gathered al the people together, and went against Rabbah, and besieged it, and tooke it.
Konsa, David te rasanble tout pèp la pou te ale Rabba. Li te goumen kont li e te kaptire li.
30 And he tooke their Kings crowne from his head, (which weighed a talent of golde, with precious stones) and it was set on Dauids head: and he brought away the spoyle of the citie in exceeding great abundance.
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 he carryed away the people that was therein, and put them vnder sawes, and vnder yron harowes, and vnder axes of yron, and cast them into the tyle kylne: euen thus did he with all the cities of the children of Ammon. Then Dauid and all the people returned vnto Ierusalem.
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.
