< 2 Samuel 12 >

1 And the LORD sent Nathan unto David. And he came unto him, and said unto 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 flocks and herds:
Nonm rich la te gen mouton ak bèf an kantite.
3 But the poor man had nothing, save one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up: and it grew up together with him, and with his children; it did eat of his own food, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and 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 there came a traveller unto the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to dress for the travelling man that was come unto him; but took the poor man's lamb, 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 was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, As the LORD lives, the man that has done this thing shall surely die:
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 And he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he 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, You are the man. Thus says the LORD God of Israel, I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you out of 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 I gave you your master's house, and your master's wives into your bosom, and gave you the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given unto you such and such things.
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 Wherefore have you despised the commandment of the LORD, to do evil in his sight? you have killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and have taken his wife to be your wife, and have 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 Now therefore the sword shall never depart from your house; because you have despised me, and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your 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 says the LORD, Behold, I will raise up evil against you out of your own house, and I will take your wives before your eyes, and give them unto your neighbour, and he shall lie with your 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 you did it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before 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 unto Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said unto David, The LORD also has put away your sin; you shall 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 by this deed you have given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto you 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 departed unto his house. And the LORD struck the child that Uriah's wife bare unto David, and it was very sick.
Apre sa, Natan al lakay li. Seyè a fè pitit madan Ouri te fè pou David la vin malad grav.
16 David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth.
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 elders of his house arose, and went to him, to raise him up from the earth: but he would not, neither did he eat bread 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, while the child was yet alive, we spoke unto him, and he would not hearken unto our voice: how will he then vex 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 that his servants whispered, David perceived that the child was dead: therefore David said unto his servants, Is the child dead? And they said, 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 earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his apparel, and came into the house of the LORD, and worshipped: then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set bread before him, and he did eat.
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 Then said his servants unto him, What thing is this that you have done? you did fast and weep for the child, while it was alive; but when the child was dead, you did rise 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 I said, Who can tell whether GOD will be gracious to me, that 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 he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, 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 Bathsheba his wife, and went in unto her, and lay with her: and she bare 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 he called his name Jedidiah, because of the LORD.
Li bay pwofèt Natan lòd al di David rele pitit la Jedidya, paske Seyè a te renmen l' vre.
26 And Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took 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, and said, I have fought against Rabbah, and have taken the city of waters.
Li voye mesaje al di David pou li: -Mwen atake lavil Raba. Mwen pran rezèvwa dlo yo.
28 Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and camp against the city, and take it: lest I take the city, and it be called after 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 And David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it.
Se konsa, David sanble tout lame a, li mache sou lavil Raba. Li atake l', li pran l'.
30 And he took their king's crown from off his head, the weight whereof was a talent of gold with the precious stones: and it was set on David's head. And he brought forth the spoil of the city in great abundance.
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 he brought forth the people that were therein, and put them under saws, and under harrows of iron, and under axes of iron, and made them pass through the brick-kiln: and thus did he unto all the cities of the children of Ammon. So David and all the people returned unto 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.
