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.
Awo Mukama n’atuma Nasani eri Dawudi amugambe nti, “Waaliwo abasajja babiri mu kibuga ekimu, omu nga mugagga, omulala nga mwavu.
2 The rich man had exceeding many sheepe and oxen:
Omugagga yalina ebisibo by’endiga bingi n’ente nnyingi;
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.
naye omwavu nga taliiko bw’ali wabula yalina omwana gw’endiga gumu nga muluusi gwe yagula. N’alabirira omwana gw’endiga ogwo, ne gukula n’abaana be, ne gugabananga ku mmere ye, ne gunyweranga wamu naye, era n’aguleranga. Gwali ng’omwana we owoobuwala gy’ali.
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.
“Lwali lumu ne wajja omutambuze eri nnaggagga, naye nnaggagga oyo n’atayagala kuddira emu ku ndiga ze oba nte ze okuteekerateekera omutambuze oyo ekyokulya. Kyeyava addira omwana gw’endiga guli ogw’omwavu n’aguteekerateekera omugenyi we.”
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,
Awo Dawudi n’asunguwalira nnyo omusajja nnaggagga, n’ayogera nti, “Mukama nga bw’ali omulamu, omusajja akoze ekintu bwe kityo ateekwa
6 And he shall restore the lambe foure folde, because he did this thing, and had no pitie thereof.
okusasula emirundi ena olw’ekikolwa ekyo, kubanga talina kusaasira, era asaanira attibwe.”
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,
Nasani n’agamba Dawudi nti, “Omusajja oyo ye ggwe. Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, ‘Nakufukako amafuta okuba kabaka wa Isirayiri, ne nkulokola mu mukono gwa Sawulo,
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.
ne nkuwa ennyumba ya mukama wo, ne nkukwasa ne bakyala ba mukama wo, ne nkuwa ennyumba ya Isirayiri ne Yuda; ebyo singa byali tebimala nandikwongedde bingi n’okusingawo.
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.
Kiki ekikunyoomezza ekigambo kya Mukama, n’okukola n’okola ekibi bwe kityo mu maaso ge? Watta Uliya Omukiiti n’ekitala, n’otwala mukyala we n’omufuula owuwo.’
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.
Wamutta n’ekitala eky’Abaana ba Amoni. Noolwekyo ekitala tekiriva mu nnyumba yo, kubanga onnyoomye n’otwala mukyala wa Uliya Omukiiti n’omufuula owuwo.
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.
“Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, ‘Laba, ndireeta ekikolimo mu nnyumba yo, ne nzirira bakyala bo ng’olaba ne mbawa muliraanwa wo, ne yeebaka nabo emisana.
12 For thou diddest it secretly: but I will doe this thing before all Israel, and before the sunne.
Wakikola mu kyama, naye nze ndikikola mu maaso ga Isirayiri yenna, emisana.’”
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.
Awo Dawudi n’agamba Nasani nti, “Nnyonoonye Mukama.” Nasani n’addamu nti, “Kale, Mukama aggyeewo ekyonoono kyo era toofe.
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.
Naye olw’ekikolwa ekyo, oleetedde abalabe ba Mukama okumunyooma, omwana anaakuzaalirwa kyanaava afa.”
15 So Nathan departed vnto his house: and the Lord stroke the childe that Vriahs wife bare vnto Dauid, and it was sicke.
Nasani bwe yaddayo eka, Mukama n’alwaza nnyo omwana muka wa Uliya gwe yazaala.
16 Dauid therefore besought God for the childe, and fasted and went in, and lay all night vpon the earth.
Dawudi ne yeegayirira Katonda ku lw’omwana, n’asiiba, n’agenda mu nnyumba ye n’amala ekiro kyonna nga yeebase wansi.
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.
Abakadde ab’ennyumba ye ne bagendanga gy’ali, okumuwaliriza asituke, alye ne ku mmere, naye n’agaana.
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?
Ku lunaku olw’omusanvu omwana n’afa. Naye abaddu ba Dawudi ne batya okumutegeeza nti omwana afudde, nga bagamba, nti, “Omwana bwe yali omulamu twagezaako okwogera naye, n’atatuwuliriza, olwo binaabeera bitya bwe tunaamubuulira nti omwana afudde? Ayinza okutabukira ddala.”
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.
Naye Dawudi n’alaba abaddu be nga boogera obwama, n’ategeera nti omwana afudde. N’ababuuza nti, “Omwana afudde?” Ne baddamu nti, “Afudde.”
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.
Awo Dawudi n’ava wansi, n’anaabako, ne yeerongoosa, n’akyusa ebyambalo bye, n’alaga mu nnyumba ya Mukama n’asinza. Oluvannyuma n’addayo mu nnyumba ye, n’asaba emmere, n’alya.
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.
Abaddu be ne bamubuuza nti, “Kiki ekyo ky’okola? Omwana bwe yali omulamu, wasiiba n’okaaba, naye kati afudde, ogolokose, olya!”
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?
N’addamu nti, “Omwana we yabeerera omulamu, n’asiiba ne nkaaba, nga ndowooza nti, ‘Ani amanyi, Mukama ayinza okunsaasira, omwana n’aba mulamu?’
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.
Naye kaakano afudde, kiki ekinsiibya? Nkyayinza okumukomyawo? Nze ndigenda gy’ali, naye ye talikomawo gye ndi.”
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.
Awo Dawudi n’akubagiza mukyala we Basuseba, ne yeetaba naye, n’aba olubuto, n’azaala omwana wabulenzi, ne bamutuuma Sulemaani, Mukama n’amwagala,
25 For the Lord had sent by Nathan the Prophet: therefore he called his name Iedidiah, because the Lord loued him.
era olw’okwagala okwo, Mukama kyeyava atuma Nasani nnabbi n’amutuuma Yedidiya, amakulu nti ayagalibwa Mukama.
26 Then Ioab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and tooke the citie of the kingdome.
Mu biro ebyo Yowaabu n’alwana n’abaana ba Amoni, n’awamba Labba ekibuga kyabwe ekikulu.
27 Therefore Ioab sent messengers to Dauid, saying, I haue fought against Rabbah, and haue taken the citie of waters.
Yowaabu n’atumira Dawudi nti, “Nnumbye Labba, era n’amazzi gaabwe ngasazeeko.
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.
Kaakano kuŋŋaanya eggye lyonna, otabaale ekibuga ekikulu, okiwambe, nga sinnaba kukitwala, ne kituumibwa erinnya lyange.”
29 So Dauid gathered al the people together, and went against Rabbah, and besieged it, and tooke it.
Awo Dawudi n’akuŋŋaanya eggye lyonna n’ayolekera Labba, n’akirumba era n’akiwamba.
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.
N’addira engule eyali eya kabaka waabwe, obuzito bwayo kilo asatu mu nnya eza zaabu, nga mu yo baateekamu amayinja ag’omuwendo, n’agyetikkira ku mutwe gwe. N’atwala n’omunyago mungi ddala okuva mu kibuga.
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.
N’aggya abantu abaali mu kibuga, n’abatwala okuba abapakasi; ne bakozesanga emisomeeno, n’ensuuluulu, n’embazzi, n’abalala ne babumbanga amatoffaali. Mu ngeri y’emu n’akozesanga abantu ab’ebibuga byonna eby’abaana ba Amoni. Oluvannyuma Dawudi n’eggye lye lyonna, ne baddayo e Yerusaalemi.
