< 2 Samuel 12 >

1 And YHWH sends Nathan to David, and he comes to him, and says to him: “Two men have been in one city, one rich and one poor.
Aa le nirahe’ Iehovà amy Davide t’i Natane. Le nomb’ ama’e mb’eo nanao ty hoe: Teo t’indaty roe androva raike: mpañaleale ty raike, naho rarake ty raike.
2 The rich has very many flocks and herds,
Nitsifotofoto ty lia-raike naho ty mpirai-tro’ i mpañalealey;
3 but the poor one has nothing, except one little ewe-lamb which he has bought and keeps alive. And it grows up together with him and with his sons. It eats of his morsel, and it drinks from his cup, and it lies in his bosom, and it is as a daughter to him.
fe nipoi’e i rarakey naho tsy ty anak’ añondry vave raike vinili’e naho nibeize’e; ie nibeizeñe ama’e naho amo keleia’eo, nihinana’e ka i tsindro’ey naho ninoñe amy fitovi’ey vaho nandre añ’araña’e eo vaho nihoe anak’ ampela ama’e.
4 And a traveler comes to the rich man, and he spares to take from his own flock, and from his own herd, to prepare for the traveling [man] who has come to him; and he takes the ewe-lamb of the poor man and prepares it for the man who has come to him.”
Pok’ amy mpañalealey amy zao ty mpañavelo, le nado’e, tsy nangala’e i lia-rai’ey, hañajaria’e ho a i mpañavelo nivotrak’ ama’ey, fe rinambe’e i vik’ añondri’ i rarakeiy vaho nihajarie’e ho a indaty nivo­trak’ ama’ey.
5 And the anger of David burns against the man exceedingly, and he says to Nathan, “YHWH lives, surely the man who is doing this [is] a son of death,
Niforoforo am’ indatiy ty haviñera’ i Davide; le hoe re amy Natane: Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà mañeva hakoromake indaty nanao i raha zaiy;
6 and [for] the ewe-lamb he repays fourfold, because that he has done this thing, and because that he had no pity.”
vaho havaha’e in’ empatse i vik’ añondriy, amy nanoa’e o haloloañe zaoy, ie tsy niferenaiñe indatiy.
7 And Nathan says to David, “You [are] the man! Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: I anointed you for king over Israel, and I delivered you out of the hand of Saul;
Aa hoe t’i Natane amy Davide, Ihe ‘nio ondatio. Hoe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele: Norizako ho mpanjaka’ Israele irehe, naho rinombako am-pità’ i Saole;
8 and I give to you the house of your lord, and the wives of your lord, into your bosom, and I give the house of Israel and Judah to you; and if [that is] too little, then I add such and such [things] to you.
natoloko azo ka ty anjomban-talè’o, naho o valin-talè’oo ho añ’ araña’o, naho natoloko azo ty anjomba’ Israele naho Iehodà; aa naho niloho-kede ama’o izay ho nitompeako zao naho zao iaby.
9 Why have you despised the word of YHWH, to do evil in His eyes? You have struck Uriah the Hittite by the sword, and you have taken his wife for a wife for yourself, and you have slain him by the sword of the sons of Ammon.
Inoñ’ arè ty nitsambolitioa’o ty tsara’ Iehovà, hanoa’o haratiañe am-pahatrea­vako? Zinevo’o am-pibara t’i Orià nte-Kite naho rinambe’o ho vali’o i tañanjomba’ey, ie vinono’o am-pibara’ o ana’ i Amoneo.
10 And now, the sword does not turn aside from your house for all time, because you have despised Me, and take the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be for a wife for yourself;
Ie amy zao, le lia’e tsy hienga ty anjomba’o i fibaray amy te nitsambolitioa’o Ahiy, vaho rinambe’o ho vali’o ty vali’ i Orià.
11 thus said YHWH: Behold, I am raising up calamity against you, out of your [own] house, and have taken your wives before your eyes, and given [them] to your neighbor, and he has lain with your wives before the eyes of this sun;
Hoe t’Iehovà: Inao! hampitroboeko añ’ anjomba’o ao ty hankàñe, naho ho tavaneko añatrefam-pihaino’o o vali’oo naho hatoloko ami’ty marine azo, ie hifandia tihy amo vali’oo ampahatreava’ i àndroy.
12 for you have done [it] in secret, and I do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.”
Ihe nanao aze añetake fa izaho ka ro hampidodea o raha zao añatrefa’ Israele iaby naho añatrefa’ i àndroy.
13 And David says to Nathan, “I have sinned against YHWH.” And Nathan says to David, “Also—YHWH has caused your sin to pass away; you do not die;
Le hoe t’i Davide amy Natane: Aman-kakeo am’ Iehovà iraho. Le hoe t’i Natane amy Davide: Fa napo’ Iehovà ka i tahi’oy; tsy hihomake irehe.
14 only, because you have caused the enemies of YHWH to greatly despise by this thing, also—the son who is born to you surely dies.”
Fe amy te nanokafa’o lalañe o rafelahi’ Iehovào amy sata’oy, hiteratera, le tsy mete tsy ho simba ty ajaja ho samahe’o.
15 And Nathan goes to his house, and YHWH strikes the boy, whom the wife of Uriah has borne to David, and it is incurable;
Nimpoly mb’añ’ anjomba’e mb’eo t’i Natane. Le pinao’ Iehovà ty ajaja sinama’ i vali’ i Oriày amy Davide, vaho narare mafe.
16 and David seeks God for the youth, and David keeps a fast, and has gone in and lodged, and lain on the earth.
Nihalalie’ i Davide aman Añahare i ajajay, naho niliilara’ i D’avide, vaho ie nimoake ao, le mandre an-tane avao amy haleñey.
17 And [the] elderly of his house rise against him, to raise him up from the earth, and he has not been willing, nor has he eaten bread with them;
Niongak’ amy zao o androanavi’ i anjombaio le nijohañe añ’ila’eo hampitroatse aze boak’an-tane; fe tsy nimete, vaho tsy nitraofa’e fikama.
18 and it comes to pass on the seventh day, that the boy dies, and the servants of David fear to declare to him that the boy is dead, for they said, “Behold, in the boy being alive we spoke to him, and he did not listen to our voice; and how do we say to him, The boy is dead? Then he has done evil.”
Ie amy andro fahafitoy, nimate i ajajay. Le nihembañe o mpitoro’ i Davideo tsy nahavany hisaontsy ama’e te simba i ajajay; fa hoe iereo: Inay, ie mbe niveloñe i ajajay, naho nisaontsen-tika le tsy hinao’e ty feon-tika; an­tsake te atalily aze te simba i ajajay, te mone hanolo-tsotry aze?
19 And David sees that his servants are whispering, and David understands that the boy is dead, and David says to his servants, “Is the boy dead?” And they say, “Dead.”
Fe nioni’ i Davide te niharo fivesoveso o mpitoro’eo vaho nifohi’ i Davide te nimate i ajajay; le hoe t’i Davide amo mpitoro’eo: Simba hao i ajajay? Le hoe iereo: Simba.
20 And David rises from the earth, and bathes and anoints [himself], and changes his raiment, and comes into the house of YHWH, and bows himself, and comes to his house, and asks and they place bread for him, and he eats.
Niongake boak’ an-tane amy zao t’i Davide le nisasa naho nihosotse naho novae’e o saro’eo; le nimoak’ añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà, nitalaho; naho nimoak’ añ’an­jomba’e; le nanjotsoa’ iareo mahakama t’ie nanohiñe, vaho nikama.
21 And his servants say to him, “What [is] this thing you have done? Because of the living boy you have fasted and you weep, and when the boy is dead you have risen and eat bread.”
Le hoe o mpitoro’eo tama’e: Ino o nanoe’o zao? ihe nililitse naho nirovetse te niveloñe i ajajay; f’ie nisimba i ajajay, le nitroatse irehe vaho mikama.
22 And he says, “While the boy is alive I have fasted and I weep, for I said, Who knows [if] YHWH pities me and the boy has lived?
Aa le hoe re: Naho mbe niveloñe i ajajay le nililirako naho nirovetako, fa nataoko te: Ia ty mahafohiñe hera hañisok’ ahy t’Iehovà vaho hitambeloñe i ajajay?
23 And now, he has died, why [is] this—I fast? Am I able to bring him back again? I am going to him, and he does not return to me.”
F’ie mate henaneo, ino ty hililirako? hahafivañom-beloñe aze hao? Toe homb’ ama’e añe iraho f’ie tsy himpoly amako.
24 And David comforts his wife Bathsheba, and goes in to her, and lies with her, and she bears a son, and he calls his name Solomon; and YHWH has loved him,
Aa le nihohòe’ i Davide t’i Batesevàe vali’e, le nizilik’ ama’e ao naho niolora’e, naho nisamak’ anadahy vaho natao’e Selomò ty añara’e. Le nikokoa’ Iehovà;
25 and sends by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and calls his name Jedidiah, because of YHWH.
vaho nirahe’e am-pità’ i Natane mpitoky; le tinoka’e ty hoe Iedidià ty añara’e, ty amy Iehovà.
26 And Joab fights against Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, and captures the royal city,
Ie henane zay nialy amy ­Rekabe anak’ Amone, t’Ioabe vaho rinambe’e i rovam’ panjakay.
27 and Joab sends messengers to David and says, “I have fought against Rabbah—I have also captured the city of waters;
Aa le nampañitrike ìrak’ amy Davide re nanao ty hoe: Fa nialiako ty Rakabe, eka, fa rinambeko i rovan-dranoy.
28 and now, gather the rest of the people, and encamp against the city, and capture it, lest I capture the city, and my name has been called on it.”
Aa le atontono ty ila’ondatio naho mitobea haname i rovay, naho tavano, kera izaho ty handrambe i rovay, le ho tokaveñe ami’ty añarako.
29 And David gathers all the people, and goes to Rabbah, and fights against it, and captures it;
Aa le natonto’ i Davide ondaty iabio, naho nionjomb’e Rakabe mb’eo naho nifandraparapak’ ama’e vaho rinambe’e,
30 and he takes the crown of their king from off his head, and its weight [is] a talent of gold, and precious stones, and it is on the head of David; and he has brought out the spoil of the city—very much;
le rinambe’e ami’ty añambone’ i Malkame ty sabaka’e; talenta volamena ty lanja’e naho nampi­petaham-batosoa; vaho napetak’ añambone’ i Davide. Tsifotofoto ty vara nikopahe’e amy rovay.
31 and he has brought out the people who [are] in it, and sets [them] to the saw, and to cutting instruments of iron, and to axes of iron, and has caused them to pass over into the brick-kiln; and so he does to all the cities of the sons of Ammon; and David turns back, and all the people, to Jerusalem.
Nakare’e iaby ondatio naho nampitoloñe’e lasý naho lasarý viñe naho fekom-bý vaho nampanodore’e birike; izay ty nanoe’e amo fonga rova’ o nte Amoneo vaho nimpoly mb’e Ierosalaime añe t’i Davide naho ondaty iabio.
