2 Samuel 12
1 And he sent Yahweh Nathan to David and he came to him and he said to him two men they were in a city one one [was] rich and one [was] poor.
Yahweh envoya Nathan vers David; et Nathan vint à lui et lui dit: « Il y avait dans une ville deux hommes, l’un riche et l’autre pauvre.
2 To [the] rich [man] it belonged flock[s] and herd[s] many very.
Le riche avait des brebis et des bœufs en très grand nombre,
3 And [belonged] to the poor [man] not anything that except a ewe-lamb one small which he had acquired and he nourished it and it grew up with him and with children his together from morsel his it ate and from cup his it drank and in bosom his it lay down and it was to him like a daughter.
et le pauvre n’avait rien, si ce n’est une petite brebis qu’il avait achetée; il l’élevait et elle grandissait chez lui avec ses enfants, mangeant de son pain, buvant de sa coupe et dormant sur son sein, et elle était pour lui comme une fille.
4 And he came a traveler to [the] man rich and he spared to take one of own sheep his and one of own cattle his to prepare for the traveler who had come to him and he took [the] ewe-lamb of the man poor and he prepared it for the man who had come to him.
Une visite arriva chez l’homme riche; et le riche s’abstint de prendre de ses brebis ou de ses bœufs, pour préparer un repas au voyageur qui était venu chez lui; il prit la brebis du pauvre et l’apprêta pour l’homme qui était venu chez lui. »
5 And it burned [the] anger of David on the man exceedingly and he said to Nathan [by] [the] life of Yahweh for [is] a son of death the man who did this.
La colère de David s’enflamma violemment contre cet homme, et il à Nathan: « Aussi vrai que Yahweh est vivant! l’homme qui a fait cela mérite la mort;
6 And the ewe-lamb he will restore fourfold consequence that he did the thing this and on that not he showed pity.
et il rendra quatre fois la brebis, pour avoir fait une pareille chose et pour avoir été sans pitié. »
7 And he said Nathan to David you [are] the man thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel I I anointed you to king over Israel and I I delivered you from [the] hand of Saul.
Et Nathan dit à David: « Tu es cet homme-là! Ainsi parle Yahweh, le Dieu d’Israël: Je t’ai oint pour roi sur Israël, et je t’ai délivré de la main de Saül;
8 And I gave! to you [the] house of master your and [the] wives of master your in bosom your and I gave! to you [the] house of Israel and Judah and if little and I will add to you like those and like those.
je t’ai donné la maison de ton maître, et j’ai mis sur ton sein les femmes de ton maître; et je t’ai donné la maison d’Israël et de Juda, et, si cela était trop peu, j’y aurais encore ajouté ceci ou cela.
9 Why? have you despised - [the] word of Yahweh by doing the evil (in eyes my *Q(K)*) Uriah the Hittite you struck down with the sword and wife his you took for yourself to a wife and him you killed with [the] sword of [the] people of Ammon.
Pourquoi as-tu méprisé la parole de Yahweh, en faisant ce qui est mal à ses yeux? Tu as frappé par l’épée Urie le Hittite; tu as pris sa femme pour en faire ta femme, et tu l’as tué par l’épée des fils d’Ammon.
10 And therefore not it will depart [the] sword from house your until perpetuity consequence for you despised me and you took [the] wife of Uriah the Hittite to become of you a wife.
Et maintenant, l’épée ne s’éloignera jamais de ta maison, parce que tu m’as méprisé et que tu as pris la femme d’Urie le Hittite, pour en faire ta femme.
11 Thus - he says Yahweh here I [am] about to raise up on you calamity from own house your and I will take wives your to eyes your and I will give [them] to neighbor your and he will lie with wives your to [the] eyes of the sun this.
Ainsi parle Yahweh: Voici que je vais faire lever, de ta maison même, le malheur sur toi, et je prendrai sous tes yeux tes femmes pour les donner à ton voisin, et il couchera avec tes femmes à la vue de ce soleil.
12 For you you acted in secret and I I will do the thing this before all Israel and before the sun.
Car toi, tu as agi en secret; et moi, je ferai cela en présence de tout Israël et à la face du soleil. »
13 And he said David to Nathan I have sinned to Yahweh. And he said Nathan to David also Yahweh he has taken away sin your not you will die.
David dit à Nathan: « J’ai péché contre Yahweh. » Et Nathan dit à David: « Yahweh a pardonné ton péché, tu ne mourras point.
14 Nevertheless for indeed you have declared contemptible [the] enemies of Yahweh by the thing this also the son born to you certainly he will die.
Mais, parce que tu as fait, par cette action, mépriser Yahweh par ses ennemis, le fils qui t’est né mourra. »
15 And he went Nathan to house his and he struck Yahweh the child whom she had borne [the] wife of Uriah to David and he was sick.
Et Nathan s’en alla dans sa maison. Yahweh frappa l’enfant que la femme d’Urie avait enfanté à David, et il devint gravement malade.
16 And he sought David God for the lad and he fasted David a fast and he went and he passed [the] night and he lay (in the sackcloth *X*) [the] ground towards.
David pria Dieu pour l’enfant, et jeûna; et, étant entré dans sa chambre, il passa la nuit couché par terre.
17 And they stood [the] elders of house his with him to raise him from the ground and not he was willing and not he ate with them food.
Les anciens de sa maison insistèrent auprès de lui pour le faire lever de terre; mais il ne voulut pas et ne mangea pas avec eux.
18 And it was on the day seventh and he died the child and they were afraid [the] servants of David to tell to him - that he had died the child for they said here! when was the child alive we spoke to him and not he listened to voice our and how? will we say to him he has died the child and he will do harm.
Le septième jour, l’enfant mourut. Les serviteurs de David craignaient de lui annoncer que l’enfant était mort, car ils disaient: « Lorsque l’enfant vivait encore, nous lui avons parlé, et il n’a pas écouté notre voix; comment lui dirons-nous: L’enfant est mort? Il fera pis encore. »
19 And he saw David that servants his [were] whispering to one another and he understood David that he had died the child and he said David to servants his ¿ has he died the child and they said he has died.
David s’aperçut que ses serviteurs parlaient tout bas entre eux, et David comprit que l’enfant était mort. David dit à ses serviteurs: « L’enfant est donc mort? » Ils dirent: « Il est mort. »
20 And he arose David from the ground and he bathed and he anointed himself and he changed (garments his *Q(K)*) and he went [the] house of Yahweh and he bowed down and he went to own house his and he asked and they set for him food and he ate.
Alors David, s’étant levé de terre, se baigna, s’oignit et changea de vêtements; puis il alla dans la maison de Yahweh et se prosterna. Revenu chez lui, il demanda qu’on lui servît à manger, et il mangea.
21 And they said servants his to him what? [is] the thing this which you have done for sake of the child [was] alive you fasted and you wept and just when he died the child you arose and you ate food.
Ses serviteurs lui dirent: « Qu’est-ce que tu fais là? Lorsque l’enfant vivait, tu jeûnais et tu pleurais, et maintenant que l’enfant est mort, tu te lèves et tu manges du pain! »
22 And he said while still the child [was] alive I fasted and I wept for I said who? [is] knowing (and he will show favor to me *Q(K)*) Yahweh and he will live the child.
Il dit: « Quand l’enfant vivait encore, je jeûnais et je pleurais, car je disais: Qui sait? Yahweh aura peut-être pitié de moi, et l’enfant vivra?
23 And now - he has died why? this [am] I fasting ¿ am I able to bring back him again I [am] going to him and he not he will return to me.
Maintenant qu’il est mort, pourquoi jeûnerais-je? Puis-je encore le faire revenir? J’irai vers lui; mais il ne reviendra pas vers moi. »
24 And he comforted David Bath-sheba wife his and he went into her and he lay with her and she bore a son (and she called *Q(K)*) name his Solomon and Yahweh he loved him.
David consola Bethsabée, sa femme; il s’approcha d’elle et coucha avec elle, et elle enfanta un fils, qu’il appela Salomon; et Yahweh l’aima,
25 And he sent by [the] hand of Nathan the prophet and he called name his Jedidiah for sake of Yahweh.
et il envoya dire par l’intermédiaire de Nathan, le prophète, qui lui donna le nom de Jedidiah, à cause de Yahweh.
26 And he fought Joab against Rabbah of [the] people of Ammon and he captured [the] city of royalty.
Joab, qui assiégeait Rabba des fils d’Ammon, s’empara de la ville royale;
27 And he sent Joab messengers to David and he said I have fought against Rabbah also I have captured [the] city of the waters.
et Joab envoya des messagers à David pour lui dire: « J’ai assiégé Rabba et je me suis déjà emparé de la ville des eaux.
28 And therefore gather [the] rest of the people and encamp on the city and capture it lest I should take I the city and it will be called name my on it.
Maintenant, rassemble le reste du peuple, viens camper contre la ville et prends-la, de peur que je ne prenne moi-même la ville, et qu’on ne l’appelle de mon nom. »
29 And he gathered David all the people and he went Rabbah towards and he fought against it and he captured it.
David rassembla tout le peuple et, ayant marché sur Rabba, il l’attaqua, et s’en rendit maître.
30 And he took [the] crown of king their from on head his and weight its [was] a talent of gold and a stone precious and it was on [the] head of David and [the] plunder of the city he brought out much very.
Il enleva la couronne de leur roi de dessus sa tête: son poids était d’un talent d’or; et il y avait sur elle une pierre précieuse, et elle fut mise sur la tête de David. Et il emporta de la ville un très grand butin.
31 And the people which [was] in it he brought out and he set [them] at the saws and at [the] picks of iron and at [the] axes of iron and he caused to pass them (in the brick mold[s] *Q(K)*) and thus he did to all [the] cities of [the] people of Ammon and he returned David and all the people Jerusalem.
Quant au peuple qui s’y trouvait, il l’en fit sortir et le mit aux scies, aux pics de fer et aux haches de fer, et il les fit passer au moule à briques; il traita de même toutes les villes des fils d’Ammon. Puis David retourna à Jérusalem avec tout le peuple.
