< 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.
Jehovha akatuma Natani kuna Dhavhidhi. Paakasvika kwaari, akataura akati, “Pakanga pane varume vaviri mune rimwe guta, mumwe akanga akapfuma mumwe ari murombo.
2 The rich has very many flocks and herds,
Mupfumi uyu akanga ana makwai mazhinji kwazvo uye nemombe zhinji,
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.
asi murombo akanga asina chinhu kusara kwegwayana rimwe chete raakanga atenga. Akarirera, rikakura naye navana vake. Raidya pamwe chete naye, richinwira pamukombe waayinwira, uye richirara pamaoko ake. Rakanga rakaita somwanasikana kwaari.
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.”
“Zvino muenzi aipfuura hake akasvika kumupfumi uya, asi mupfumi uyu haana kuda kubata rimwe ramakwai ake kana mombe kuti agadzirire zvokudya mupfuuri uyu akanga asvika kwaari. Asi iye akatora gwayana romurombo akarigadzirira uya akanga asvika kwaari.”
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,
Dhavhidhi akatsamwira munhu uyu zvikuru kwazvo akati kuna Natani, “Chokwadi naJehovha mupenyu, munhu akaita zvinhu zvakadai anofanira kufa!
6 and [for] the ewe-lamb he repays fourfold, because that he has done this thing, and because that he had no pity.”
Anofanira kuripira gwayana iri kakapetwa runa pamusoro, nokuti akaita zvinhu zvakadai akasava netsitsi.”
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;
Ipapo Natani akati kuna Dhavhidhi, “Ndimi munhu uyo! Zvanzi naJehovha: Mwari weIsraeri: ‘Ndakakuzodza kuti uve mambo weIsraeri, uye ndakakununura kubva paruoko rwaSauro.
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.
Ndakapa kwauri imba yatenzi wako, uye vakadzi vatenzi wako ndakavaisa mumaoko ako. Ndakakupa imba yaIsraeri neyaJudha. Uye dai zvose izvi zvakava zvishoma, ndaidai ndakakupa zvimwezve.
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.
Ko, wakazvidzirei shoko raJehovha nokuita zvisakarurama pamberi pake? Wakauraya Uria muHiti nomunondo uye ukatora mukadzi wake ukamuita wako. Wakamuuraya nomunondo wavaAmoni.
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;
Naizvozvo, munondo hauchazobvi mumba mako, nokuti wakandizvidza uye ukatora mukadzi waUria muHiti kuti ave wako.’
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;
“Zvanzi naJehovha: ‘Kubva mumba mako chaimo ndichauyisa njodzi pamusoro pako. Ndichatora vakadzi vako iwe wakatarira ndigovapa kuno mumwe ari pedyo newe, uye acharara navo masikati machena.
12 for you have done [it] in secret, and I do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.”
Iwe wakaita muchivande, asi ini ndichazviita masikati machena pamberi peIsraeri yose.’”
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;
Ipapo Dhavhidhi akati kuna Natani, “Ndakatadzira Jehovha.” Natani akapindura akati, “Jehovha akuregerera chitadzo chako. Haungafi hako kwete.
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.”
Asi nokuda kwokuti waita izvi, waita kuti vavengi vaJehovha vamuzvidze kwazvo, mwanakomana uyu wauchaberekerwa achafa.”
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;
Mushure mokunge Natani adzokera kumba, Jehovha akarova mwana akaberekerwa Dhavhidhi nomukadzi waUria, akabva arwara.
16 and David seeks God for the youth, and David keeps a fast, and has gone in and lodged, and lain on the earth.
Dhavhidhi akanyengeterera mwana kuna Mwari. Akatsanya uye akapinda mumba make akapedza usiku nousiku akarara pasi.
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;
Vakuru veimba yake vakamira paakanga ari, vachida kuti amuke pasi paakanga ari, asi iye akaramba, uye haana kuda kuti adye navo.
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.”
Pazuva rechinomwe mwana akafa. Varanda vaDhavhidhi vakatya kumuudza kuti mwana akanga afa, nokuti vakafunga kuti, “Apo mwana paakanga achiri mupenyu, takataura naDhavhidhi asi haana kuda kutiteerera. Zvino tichamuudza sei kuti mwana afa? Achazvikuvadza zvikada.”
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.”
Dhavhidhi akaona kuti varanda vake vakanga vachizevezerana ndokubva aziva kuti mwana akanga afa. Akabvunza akati, “Mwana afa kanhi?” Vakapindura vakati, “Hongu afa.”
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.
Ipapo Dhavhidhi akamuka pasi paakanga ari. Mushure mokunge ashamba, akazora mafuta, uye akapfeka zvimwe zvipfeko, akapinda mumba maJehovha akanamata. Ipapo akaenda kumba kwake, akakumbira zvokudya vakamupa, akadya.
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.”
Varanda vake vakamubvunza vakati, “Ko, muri kuitirei zvinhu zvakadai? Mwana paakanga achiri mupenyu makatsanya uye mukachema, asi zvino mwana afa, momuka modya!”
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?
Iye akapindura akati, “Apo mwana paakanga achiri mupenyu, ndakatsanya uye ndikachema. Ndaifunga kuti, ‘Ndiani anoziva? Zvimwe Jehovha angandinzwira nyasha akaita kuti mwana ararame.’
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.”
Asi zvino zvaafa, ndichatsanyireiko? Ko, ndingamudzosazve here? Ini ndichaenda kwaari, asi iye haangadzoki kwandiri.”
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,
Zvino Dhavhidhi akanyaradza mukadzi wake Bhatishebha, akaenda kwaari akandorara naye. Akabereka mwanakomana, vakamutumidza kuti Soromoni. Jehovha akamuda;
25 and sends by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and calls his name Jedidiah, because of YHWH.
uye nokuti Jehovha akamuda, akatuma shoko nokuna Natani muprofita kuti amutumidze kuti Jedhidhia.
26 And Joab fights against Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, and captures the royal city,
Zvino Joabhu akandorwa naRabha wavaAmoni uye akatora nhare yamambo.
27 and Joab sends messengers to David and says, “I have fought against Rabbah—I have also captured the city of waters;
Ipapo Joabhu akatuma nhume kuna Dhavhidhi, achiti, “Ndarwisa Rabha ndikatora nzvimbo inobva mvura yeguta iri.
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.”
Naizvozvo unganidzai varwi vose mukombe guta mugorikunda. Zvikasadaro ini ndichatora guta, uye rinozotumidzwa zita rangu.”
29 And David gathers all the people, and goes to Rabbah, and fights against it, and captures it;
Naizvozvo Dhavhidhi akaunganidza hondo yose ndokubva aenda kuRabha, akandorirwisa akaritora.
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;
Akabvisa korona pamusoro wamambo wavo, kurema kwayo kwaisvika tarenda rimwe chete uye yakanga yakanamirwa mabwe anokosha, uye yakaiswa pamusoro waDhavhidhi. Akapamba zvinhu zvizhinji kwazvo kubva muguta iri
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.
uye akabudisa vanhu vakanga varimo, akavapa basa ravaishanda namajeko, mapiki namatemo, uye akavapa basa rokukanya zvidhina. Akaita izvi kumaguta ose avaAmoni. Ipapo Dhavhidhi nehondo yose vakadzokera kuJerusarema.
