2 Samuel 12
1 Yahweh [told the prophet Nathan what David had done, and he] sent Nathan to tell [this story to] David: “[I heard about] two men [who] were living in a certain city. One was rich and the other was poor.
Hina Gode da balofede dunu Na: ida: ne amo Da: ibidima sia: ma: ne asunasi. Na: ida: ne da Da: ibidima asili, ema amane sia: i, “Dunu aduna da moilai afae amogawi esalu. Dunu afae da bagade gagui. Be dunu eno da hamedafa gaguiwane hahane esalu.
2 The rich man owned a lot of cattle and sheep.
Bagade gagui dunu da bulamagau bagohame amola sibi bagohame gagui galu.
3 But the poor man had only one little female lamb, which he had bought. He raised the lamb, and it grew up with his children. He would give the lamb some of his own food and let it drink from his cup. He let the lamb sleep in his arms. The lamb was like a daughter to him.
Be hame gagui dunu da sibi mano afae fawane galu. Amo e da enoma bidiga lai galu. E da amo fofole, sibi da hame gagui dunu ea mano defele hi diasua hina: mano amola sibi mano amo gilisili, e da hina: ha: i manudafa ema iasu. E da hina: faigelei amoga hano nasu. E da amo sibi mano hi fene gagui dialusu. Sibi mano da idiwi agoane esalu.
4 [One day] a visitor came to [visit] the rich man. The rich man did not want to take one of his own animals [and kill it] to prepare a meal for the visitor. So instead, he stole the poor man’s lamb [and killed it] and prepared a meal for his visitor.”
Eso afaega, sofe misi dunu afae da bagade gagui dunu ea diasuga doaga: i. Bagade gagui dunu da ema aowamusa: dawa: i, be hina: ohe amoga medomu higa: i galu. Amaiba: le, e da hame gagui dunu ea sibi mano samogene, medole legele, gobele, sofemisi dunugili moma: ne i.”
5 [When] David [heard that, he] was very angry about [what] the rich man [had done]. He said to Nathan, “I solemnly declare that the man who did that should be executed!
Bagade gagui dunu ea hou nababeba: le, Da: ibidi da ougi bagade ba: i. E amane sia: , “Na da Fifi Ahoanusu Hina Gode Ea Dioba: le amane ilegesa. Amo hamobe dunu da bogomu da defea.
6 But before he is executed, he should pay back to the poor man four lambs for doing this, and for not having pity [on the poor man].”
E da amo hame gagui dunuma hame asigiba: le, e da ea hamoi defele ema biyaduyale agoane dabe ima: mu.”
7 Nathan said to David, “You are the man [I have been talking about]! And this is what Yahweh, the God we Israelis [worship], says to you: ‘I appointed you to be king of Israel, after having rescued you from Saul.
Na: ida: ne da Da: ibidima amane sia: i, “Amo dunu da di fawane. Amola Isala: ili fi ilia Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, `Na da di Isala: ili hina bagade hamoi dagoi. Amola Na da di Soloma gaga: i dagoi.
8 I gave you his palace and his wives. I caused you to become the king to rule Israel and Judah. If [you had told me that] you were not content with what I gave you, I would have given you twice as much!
Na da ea hina bagade hou amola ea idualali amo samogene, dima i. Na da di Isala: ili amola Yuda ouligima: ne ilegei. Be amo iasu da defele hame ba: i ganiaba, Na da dima aduna agoaiwane bu ia: noba.
9 So why have you despised my commandment [about not committing adultery]? You have done what I consider to be very evil! You have arranged for Uriah to be killed in a battle by the Ammon people-group’s soldiers, and you have taken his wife to be your wife!
Amaiba: le, di da abuliba: le Na sia: i hame nabasula: ? Di abuliba: le amo wadela: idafa hou hamobela: ? Dia sia: beba: le, Iulaia da gegesu ganodini fane legei dagoi ba: i. Di da A: mone dunu e medole legema: ne, logo doasi dagoi. Amalalu, di da ea uda lai.
10 You have despised me, and have taken Uriah’s wife to be your wife. So for many generations some of your descendants will die violently. [MTY, PRS]
Wali, dia fifi masunu amo ganodini, digaga fi mogili da se nabawane fane legei dagoi ba: mu. Bai di da Na sia: i hame nabasu, amola Iulaia ea uda laiba: le.
11 I solemnly declare to you that I will cause someone from your own family to bring trouble to you. I will take your wives and give them to him, and he will have sexual relations with them in the daytime, where everyone can see it, and you will know all about it.
Na dafawane ilegesa! Dia sosogo fi dunu da dima bidi hamosu bagade ima: ne, Na da hamomu. Na dia udalali amo dima samogene, eno dunuma imunu. E da eso hayoga, dunu huluane ba: lea, ili adole lamu. Amola di da amo hou ba: mu.
12 What you did, you did secretly, but what I will cause to happen, everyone in Israel will be able to see it [or know about it]. [IDM]’”
Di da wamowane wadela: le hamoi. Be Na da dima se iasu hou amo eso hadigia, Isala: ili dunu huluane ba: ma: ne, hamomu.’”
13 David replied, “I have sinned against Yahweh.” Nathan said to David, “Yahweh has forgiven you for your sin: You will not die [because of this sin].
Da: ibidi da amane sia: i, “Dafawane! Na da Hina Godema wadela: le hamoi dagoi.” Na: ida: ne da bu adole i, “Hina Gode da dima gogolema: ne olofoi. Di da hame bogomu.
14 But, you have shown contempt for Yahweh by doing this. So, your baby will die.”
Be dia mano da bogomu. Bai di da amane hamobeba: le, di da Hina Godema mae nodone, higasu.”
15 Then Nathan went home. Then Yahweh caused the baby t o become very sick, the one that Uriah’s wife had given birth to.
Amanoba, Na: ida: ne da hi diasuga asi. Hina Gode da hamobeba: le, Iulaia idua amoma Da: ibidima ea mano lalesi, mano da oloi bagade ba: i.
16 So David prayed to God that the child [would not die]. He (fasted/abstained from food), and he went into [the room where he slept] and lay all night on the floor.
Da: ibidi da mano uhima: ne, Godema sia: ne gadoi. E da ha: i manu bagade higasu amola gasi huluane, hi sesei amo ganodini, hada: i da: iya dialusu.
17 [The next morning] his advisors stood around him and urged him to get up. But he would not get up, and he would not eat any food with them.
Ea eagene ouligisu dunu da ema asili, e wa: legadoma: ne sia: i. Be e da hame wa: legadoi, amola ili gilisili ha: i manu hamedafa mai.
18 One week later the baby died. David’s servants were afraid to tell that to David. They said [to each other], “Hey, while the baby was still alive, we talked to him, but he would not answer us. Now, if we tell him that the baby is dead [RHQ], he may do something to harm himself!”
Hi afae aligili, mano da bogoi. Da: ibidi ea eagene ouligisu dunu da ema adomu beda: i galu. Ilia da amane sia: i, “Mano da esaloba, ninia da Da: ibidima sia: noba, e da ninima bu hame adole iasu. Amaiba: le, ninia da habodane mano da bogoi, ema adoma: bela: ? E da hi gobele hima se iasa: besa: le, ninia da hedolo hame adomu.”
19 But when David saw that his servants were whispering something to each other, he realized that the baby must be dead. So he asked them, “Is the baby dead?” They replied, “Yes, he is dead.”
Be Da: ibidi da ili gilisili sadoga sia: dabe ba: beba: le, e da mano da bogoi dawa: i galu. Amaiba: le, e da ilima amane adole ba: i, “Mano da bogobela: ?” Ilia bu adole i, “Ma! E da bogoi dagoi.”
20 Then David got up from the floor. He bathed himself, put lotions on his body, and put on other clothes, Then he went into Yahweh’s Sacred Tent and worshiped Yahweh. Then he went home. He asked his servants for some food. They gave him some, and he ate it.
Da: ibidi da hada: i da: iya dialu wa: legadole, hano ulalu, ea dialuma hinabo fesega: nu, abula afadenei. Amalalu, e da asili, Hina Gode Ea diasu ganodini Ema nodone sia: ne gadoi. E da hina bagade diasuga buhagili, ha: i manusa: adole ba: i. Ilia da ha: i manu ema gaguli misini, e da amogaluwane hedolo mai.
21 Then his servants said to him, “We do not understand [RHQ] why you have done this! While the baby was still alive, you cried for him and refused to eat anything. But now that the baby has died, [you are not crying any more!] You got up and ate some food!”
Ea eagene ouligisu dunu da ema amane sia: , “Ninia amo hou gogolesa. Mano esalea, di da ema asigiba: le, dinanu amola ha: i mae nawane esalu. Be e da bogobeba: le, di hedolowane wa: legadole, ha: i mai!”
22 David replied, “While the baby was still alive, I fasted and cried. I thought, ‘Who knows? Yahweh may be merciful to me and not allow the baby to die’.
Da: ibidi da bu adole i, “Ma! E da esaloba na da dinanu amola ha: i mae nawane esalu. Na da Hina Gode Ea nama asigima: bela: le amola mano ea bogomu logo hedofama: bela: le amane hamoi.
23 But now the baby is dead. So (there is no reason for me to (fast/abstain from eating food) any more./why should I (fast/abstain from eating food) any more?) [RHQ] (Can I bring him back to me?/I certainly cannot bring him back to me!) [RHQ] [Some day] I will go to where he is, but he will not return to me.”
Be e bogoi dagoiba: le, na da bu ha: i mae nawane esalumu da bai hame gala. Na da amo mano bu esaloma: ne hamomu da hamedei. Na da fa: no ema masunu, be e nama buhagimu da hamedei.”
24 Then David comforted his wife, Bathsheba. Then he (slept/had sexual relations) with her, and she [became pregnant again and] gave birth to another son. David named that son Solomon. Yahweh loved that little boy.
Amalalu, Da: ibidi da idua Ba: desiba ea dogo denesi. E da ela gilisili golale, amalu dunu mano eno lalelegei. Da: ibidi da amo mano ea dio Soloumane asuli. Hina Gode da amo manoma asigi galu.
25 He told the prophet Nathan to tell David to name the baby boy Jedediah [which means ‘loved by Yahweh’, ] because Yahweh loved him.
E da balofede dunu Na: ida: nema, e da amo mano ea dio Yedidaia (dawa: loma: ne da `Hina Gode da ema asigisa’) amo asulima: ne sia: i. Bai Hina Gode da ema asigi galu.
26 (Meanwhile/While all that was happening), Joab’s [soldiers] attacked Rabbah, [the capital city] of the Ammon people-group; and they captured the king’s fortress.
Be Youa: be da La: ba (A: mone sogega moilai bai bagade) amo doagala: lalu. Amo fedele lamu da gadenei ba: i.
27 Then Joab sent messengers to David, to tell him this: “My troops are attacking Rabbah, and we have captured the city’s water supply.
E da Da: ibidima sia: adola ahoasu dunu ilia ema amane sia: na masa: ne asunasi, “Na da La: ba doagala: lalu, amo ea hano sagai huluane sasamogene lai dagoi.
28 Now gather your troops and come and surround the city and capture it. If you do not do that, my troops will capture the city and it will then be named ‘the City of Joab’.”
Amaiba: le, dia dadi gagui dunu gagadole, disu amo moilai doagala: le fefedele lama. Bai dunu da na hame be difa fefedele lai dagoi, amo sia: mu da defea.”
29 So David gathered all his troops. They went [with David] to Rabbah and attacked it and captured it.
Amaiba: le, Da: ibidi da ea dadi gagui dunu gagadole, La: ba moilai bai bagade amo doagala: lalu fefedele lai.
30 Then David took the crown from the head of the king of Rabbah (OR, from the head of [Milcom] the god of Rabbah) and put it on his own head. It [was very heavy; it] weighed (75 pounds/34 kg.), and it had many very valuable stones fastened to it. His soldiers also took many other valuable things from the city.
E da A: mone loboga hamoi ogogosu ‘gode’ Miligome, amo ea dialumaga gouli habuga lai. Amo habuga ea dioi defei da 35 gilougala: me agoane amola amoga gele noga: idafa legei ba: i. Da: ibidi da amo gele noga: i habuga lale, ea habuga da: iya legei. Amola amo moilaiga e da liligi bagohame odagiaba lasu.
31 Then they brought the people of Rabbah out of the city and forced them to [work for them] using saws and iron picks and axes. David’s troops also forced them to make bricks. David’s soldiers did this in all the towns of the Ammon people-group. Then David and all of his army returned to Jerusalem.
Amalalu, e da La: ba dunu huluane udigili hawa: hamoma: ne logei. E logebeba: le, ilia da sasahei, gula uwasu amola goahei amoga hamosu amola diasu gagumusa: osoboga `baligi’ hamosu. E da A: mone soge moilale gagaiga esalebe dunu amo huluane hawa: hamoma: ne logei. Amalalu, e amola ea dunu da Yelusaleme moilaiga buhagi.
