< 2 Samuel 12 >

1 And the Lord sent Nathan unto David, and he came unto him and said to him, Two men were once in one city, the one rich and the other poor.
LEUM GOD El supwalla mwet palu Nathan nu yorol David. Na Nathan el som ac fahk nu sel, “Oasr mwet luo muta in siti sefanna. Sie seltal kasrup, a ma se ngia sukasrup.
2 The rich man had flocks and herds, in great abundance.
Mwet se ma kasrup ah, pukanten sheep ac cow natul,
3 But the poor man had nothing, save one little ewe, which he had bought; and he nourished it, and it grew up with him and with his children together; of his bread it used to eat, and out of his cup it used to drink, and in his bosom it used to lie, and it was to him as a daughter.
a mwet se ma sukasrup ah, sheep fusr sokofanna natul, ma el tuh molela. El karinganang sheep fusr soko ah in lohm sel sifacna, ac el wi na tulik natul ah kapak. Mukul sac el kital ke mongo nal sifacna, ac sang el nimnim ke cup na lal, ac el muta sruokol finyepal. El oakoaki sheep fusr soko ah oana in tulik mutan se natul.
4 And there came a traveler unto the rich man; and he felt compunction to take from his own flocks and from his own herds to dress for the wayfarer that was come to him; but he took the ewe of the poor man, and dressed it for the man that was come to him.
Sie len ah mwet fufahsryesr se tuku nu in lohm sin mwet kasrup sac. Na mwet kasrup sac tia lungse uniya soko sin kosro natul ah in orala sie mongo ah nal, a el usla sheep fusr soko nutin mwet sukasrup sac ac sang orala mongo se nu sin mwet mutwata se lal ah.”
5 And the anger of David was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, As the Lord liveth, surely the man that hath done this deserveth to die;
David el arulana kasrkusrak sin mwet kasrup sac, ac fahk, “Nga fulahk Inen LEUM GOD moul, lah fal na mwet se ma orala ma se inge in misa!
6 And the ewe he shall pay fourfold, for punishment that he hath done this thing, and because he had no compassion.
Ke sripen lumah na sulallal se el oru ingan, el enenu na elan akfalye molin ma el eisla pacl akosr yohk liki!”
7 Then said Nathan to David, Thou art the man! Thus hath said the Lord, the God of Israel, It is I who anointed thee as king over Israel, and it is I who delivered thee out of the hand of Saul;
Nathan el fahk nu sel David, “Kom pa mwet sac! Na pa inge ma LEUM GOD lun Israel El fahk: ‘Nga oru tuh kom in tokosra lun Israel, ac nga molikomla lukel Saul.
8 And I gave unto thee the house of thy master, and [put] the wives of thy master into thy bosom, and gave unto thee the house of Israel and Judah: and if this be too little, I could bestow on thee yet many more like these things.
Nga sot tokosrai lal ac mutan kial nu sum, ac nga oru tuh kom in tokosra lun Israel ac Judah. Funu sufalla ma inge, nga lukun sot pacl luo yohk liki na.
9 Wherefore hast thou despised the word of the Lord to do what is evil in his eyes? Uriyah the Hittite hast thou smitten with the sword, and his wife hast thou taken unto thee for wife; but him hast thou slain with the sword of the children of 'Ammon.
Na efu kom ku seakos ma nga sapkin uh? Efu kom ku oru ma koluk se inge? Kom oru Uriah elan anwuki ke mweun ah — kom lela tuh mwet Ammon ah in unilya, na kom eisla mutan kial ah!
10 And now, the sword shall not depart from thy house for ever; for the reason that thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriyah the Hittite to be thy wife.
Inge, in fwil nukewa tok uh, kutu sin tulik nutum uh ac fah misa ke ouiyen misa na keok mweyen kom tuh seakosyu ac eisla mutan kial Uriah ah.
11 Thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will raise up against thee evil out of thy own house, and I will take away thy wives before thy eyes, and I will give them unto thy neighbor; and he shall lie with thy wives before the face of this sun.
Nga fulahk nu sum lah nga ac oru tuh sie mwet in sou lom sifacna in pwanma mwe tukulkul nu fom. Kom ac fah liye ke nga ac eisla mutan kiom an ac sang nu sin sie pacna mukul, ac el ac fah oan yorolos ye mutun mwet uh.
12 For thou hast done it in secret; but I will surely do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.
Kom tuh oru ma koluk yen lukma, a nga ac fah oru tuh ma inge in sikyak yen na kalem, tuh mwet Israel nukewa in liye.’”
13 Then said David unto Nathan, I have sinned against the Lord. And Nathan said to David, Also the Lord hath caused thy sin to pass away: thou shalt not die.
David el fahk, “Nga orekma koluk lain LEUM GOD.” Ac Nathan el fahk, “LEUM GOD El nunak munas nu sum. Kom ac tia misa.
14 Nevertheless, because thou hast given great cause to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme through this thing, the child also that hath been born unto thee shall surely die.
Tusruktu, ke sripen kom tuh arulana pilesru LEUM GOD ac oru ma inge uh, tulik se nutum inge ac misa.”
15 And Nathan went to his house; and the Lord struck the child that Uriyah's wife had born unto David, that it became very sick.
Na Nathan el som nu lohm sel ah. LEUM GOD El oru tuh tulik se mutan kial Uriah ah oswela nu sel David in arulana mas.
16 And David besought God in behalf of the lad; and David kept a fast, and came home, and lay over night upon the earth.
David el pre nu sin God tulik sac in kwela. El tiana lungse mongo, ac fong nukewa el ac utyak nu infukil sel ac motullana in fohk uh.
17 And the elders of the house arose about him, to raise him up from the earth; but he would not, and he did not partake of any bread with them.
Mwet pwapa fulat lal ac som nu yorol ac srike in oru elan tukakek tuh el srangesr, ac el tia pac lungse mongo yorolos.
18 And it came to pass on the seventh day that the child died; and the servants of David were afraid to tell him, that the child was dead; for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spoke to him, and he would not hearken to our voice: how then shall we say to him, The child is dead! he might do [himself] a hurt.
Wik se tok ah tulik sac misa, ac mwet pwapa lal ah sangeng in fahk nu sel. Elos mu, “Ke pacl se tulik sac srakna moul, David el tia lungse topuk kut ke kut kaskas nu sel uh. Kut ac fahk fuka lah tulik se natul ah misa? Kut sensen el ac oru sie ma upa nu sel sifacna!”
19 But when David saw that his servants were whispering to each other, David understood that the child was dead; wherefore David said unto his servants, Is the child dead? and they said, he is dead.
Ke David el liye lah elos mahma nu sin sie sin sie, el akilen lah tulik sac misa. Na el siyuk selos, “Ku tulik sac misa?” Ac elos fahk, “Aok, el misa.”
20 David then rose up from the earth, and washed and anointed himself, and changed his garments, and went into the house of the Lord and prostrated himself; and then he came to his own house, and asked that they should set food before him, and he ate.
David el tukakek liki infohk uh, ac el yihla, ayaolla, ac kawia sifal. Na el som nu in lohm sin LEUM GOD ac alu. Ke el folokla nu lohm sel ah, el siyukyuk mongo, ac pacl se na itukyang nu sel el mutawauk mongo.
21 And his servants then said unto him, What is this thing which thou hast done? On account of the child when living thou didst fast and weep; but as soon as the child was dead thou didst arise and eat bread!
Mwet pwapa lal ah fahk nu sel, “Kut tiana kalem ke ma kom oru inge. Ke tulik sac srakna moul ah, kom tung kacl ac srunga mongo. Na inge el tufahna misa a kom tukakek ac mongo!”
22 And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept; because I said, Who knoweth, but that the Lord will be gracious to me, that the child may live?
David el topuk ac fahk, “Aok, nga tuh lalo ac tung ke tulik sac srakna moul. Nga tuh nunku mu sahp LEUM GOD El ac pakoten nu sik, ac tia lela tulik sac in misa.
23 But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast then? can I restore him again? I am going to him; but he will not return to me.
A inge, ke el misa tari, efu ku ngan lalo? Ya nga ku in folokonma tulik sac elan moulyak? Sie len nga ac fah som nu yen el oasr we, tuh el tia ku in foloko nu yuruk.”
24 And David comforted Bath-sheba' his wife, and he went in unto her, and lay with her; and she bore a son, and called his name Solomon; and the Lord loved him.
Na David el akpwaryal Bathsheba, mutan kial, ac el oan yorol, na mutan sac el oswela sie wen, ac David el sang inel Solomon. LEUM GOD El lungse tulik mukul sac,
25 And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and called his name, Yedideyah in behalf of the Lord.
ac El sapkin nu sel Nathan, mwet palu, elan sang inen tulik mukul sac Jedidiah, mweyen LEUM GOD El lungse el.
26 And Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of 'Ammon, and captured the royal city.
In pacl se inge Joab el srakna mweun lain acn Rabbah, su siti fulat lun acn Ammon, ac el apkuran in sruokya.
27 And Joab sent messengers to David; and said, I have fought against Rabbah, and have also captured the water-town.
El supwala mwet utuk kas in tuh fahk nu sel David, “Nga utyak ac mweuni acn Rabbah, ac nga sruokya tari acn se kof lalos ah tuku we me.
28 And now gather the rest of the people together, and encamp against the city, and capture it: lest I capture the city myself, and it be called by my name.
Inge kom orani mwet mweun lula lom an, ac fahsru nu Rabbah, kom in sifacna sruokya siti uh. Nga tia lungse in fwack mu nga pa eisla uh.”
29 And David gathered all the people together and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and captured it.
Ouinge David el orani mwet mweun lal ac som nu Rabbah. El mweuni acn we ac kutangla.
30 And he took the crown of Malkam from off his head, and its weight was a talent of gold, and [on it was] a precious stone, and it was set on the head of David; and the booty of the city he brought out in great abundance.
David el eisla tefuro gold se liki sifen ma sruloala se pangpang Molech, god lun mwet Ammon. Toasriyen tefuro sac akuran paun itngoul limekosr. Oasr sie eot saok kac, su David el eisla sang nu ke tefuro lal sifacna. El oayapa usla ma wap pukanten liki siti sac.
31 And the people that were therein he brought forward, and put them under saws, and under iron threshing-wagons, and under axes of iron, and made them pass through brick-kilns; and thus did he unto all the cities of the children of 'Ammon: and David returned with them with all the people unto Jerusalem.
El sap mwet we ah in fahsr orekma ke tahta, ac mwe pukpuk osra, oayapa tuhla osra, ac el akkohsyelos in orek brick. El oayapa oru lumah se inge nu sin mwet in siti srisrik nukewa in acn Ammon. Na el, ac mwet lal ah, folokla nu Jerusalem.
