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.
At sinugo ng Panginoon si Nathan kay David. At siya'y naparoon sa kaniya, at nagsabi sa kaniya, May dalawang lalake sa isang bayan; ang isa ay mayaman at ang isa ay mahirap.
2 The rich man owned a lot of cattle and sheep.
Ang mayaman ay mayroon totoong maraming kawan at bakahan:
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.
Nguni't ang mahirap ay walang anomang bagay, liban sa isang munting korderong babae, na kaniyang binili at inalagaan: at lumaki sa kaniya, at sa kaniyang mga anak; kumakain ng kaniyang sariling pagkain at umiinom ng kaniyang sariling inumin, at humihiga sa kaniyang sinapupunan, at sa kaniya'y parang isang anak.
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.”
At naparoon ang isang maglalakbay sa mayaman, at ipinagkait niya ang kaniyang sariling kawan at ang kaniyang sariling bakahan, na ihanda sa naglalakbay na dumating sa kaniya, kundi kinuha ang kordero ng mahirap na lalake, at inihanda sa lalake na dumating sa kaniya.
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!
At ang galit ni David ay nagalab na mainam laban sa lalake; at kaniyang sinabi kay Nathan, Buhay ang Panginoon, ang lalake na gumawa nito ay karapatdapat na mamatay:
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].”
At isinauli ang kordero na may dagdag na apat, sapagka't kaniyang ginawa ang bagay na ito, at sapagka't siya'y hindi naawa.
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.
At sinabi ni Nathan kay David, Ikaw ang lalaking yaon. Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, ng Dios ng Israel, Pinahiran kita ng langis na maging hari sa Israel, at aking iniligtas ka sa kamay ni Saul;
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!
At ibinigay ko sa iyo ang bahay ng iyong panginoon, at ang mga asawa ng iyong panginoon sa iyong sinapupunan, at ibinigay ko sa iyo ang sangbahayan ng Israel at ng Juda; at kung totoong kakaunti pa ito, ay dadagdagan pa kita ng gayong bagay.
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!
Bakit nga iyong niwalang kabuluhan ang salita ng Panginoon, na iyong ginawa ang masama sa kaniyang paningin? iyong sinugatan ng tabak si Uria na Hetheo, at iyong kinuha ang kaniyang asawa upang maging iyong asawa, at iyong pinatay siya ng tabak ng mga anak ni Ammon.
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]
Ngayon nga'y ang tabak ay hindi hihiwalay kailan man sa iyong sangbahayan; sapagka't iyong niwalan ng kabuluhan ako, at iyong kinuha ang asawa ni Uria na Hetheo upang maging iyong asawa.
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.
Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, Narito, ako'y magtitindig ng kasamaan laban sa iyo na mula sa iyong sariling sangbahayan, at aking kukunin ang iyong mga asawa sa harap ng iyong mga mata, at aking ipagbibigay sa iyong kapuwa, at kaniyang sisipingan ang iyong mga asawa sa sikat ng araw na ito.
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]’”
Sapagka't iyong ginawa na lihim: nguni't aking gagawin ang bagay na ito sa harap ng buong Israel, at sa harap ng araw.
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].
At sinabi ni David kay Nathan, Ako'y nagkasala laban sa Panginoon. At sinabi ni Nathan kay David, Inalis din ng Panginoon ang iyong kasalanan; hindi ka mamamatay.
14 But, you have shown contempt for Yahweh by doing this. So, your baby will die.”
Gayon ma'y sapagka't sa gawang ito'y iyong binigyan ng malaking pagkakataon ang mga kaaway ng Panginoon upang magsipanungayaw, ang bata naman na ipinanganak sa iyo ay walang pagsalang mamamatay.
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.
At si Nathan ay umuwi sa kaniyang bahay. At sinaktan ng Panginoon ang bata na ipinanganak ng asawa ni Uria kay David, at totoong malubha.
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.
Ipinanalangin nga ni David sa Dios ang bata; at si David ay nagaayuno, at pumapasok, at humihiga buong gabi sa lupa.
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.
At bumabangon ang mga matanda sa kaniyang bahay, at tumatayo sa siping niya, upang itindig siya sa lupa; nguni't siya'y ayaw kahit kumain ng tinapay na kasalo nila.
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!”
At nangyari, nang ikapitong araw, na ang bata ay namatay. At nangatakot ang mga lingkod ni David na saysayin sa kaniya na ang bata ay patay na: sapagka't kanilang sinabi, Narito, samantalang ang bata ay buhay pa, tayo ay nakipagsalitaan sa kaniya, at hindi siya nakinig sa ating tinig: gaano ngang ikababagabag niya kung ating sasabihin sa kaniya na ang bata ay patay na?
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.”
Nguni't nang makita ni David na ang kaniyang mga lingkod ay nagbubulong-bulungan, nahalata ni David na ang bata ay patay na: at sinabi ni David sa kaniyang mga lingkod, Patay na ba ang bata? At kanilang sinabi, Siya'y patay na.
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.
Nang magkagayo'y bumangon si David sa lupa at naligo, at nagpahid ng langis, at nagbihis ng kaniyang suot; at siya'y naparoon sa bahay ng Panginoon, at sumamba: saka naparoon siya sa kaniyang sariling bahay; at nang siya'y humingi, hinainan nila ng tinapay siya sa harap, at siya'y kumain.
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!”
Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ng kaniyang mga lingkod sa kaniya, Anong bagay ito na iyong ginawa? ikaw ay nagaayuno at umiiyak dahil sa bata, samantalang siya'y buhay; nguni't nang mamatay ang bata, ikaw ay bumangon at kumain ng tinapay.
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’.
At kaniyang sinabi, Samantalang ang bata'y buhay pa, ako'y nagaayuno at umiiyak: sapagka't aking sinabi, Sino ang nakakaalam kung maaawa sa akin ang Panginoon, na anopa't ang bata'y mabuhay?
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.”
Nguni't ngayo'y patay na siya; bakit pa ako magaayuno? Maibabalik ko pa ba siya? Ako'y paroroon sa kaniya, nguni't siya'y hindi babalik sa akin.
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.
At inaliw ni David si Bath-sheba na kaniyang asawa, at lumapit sa kaniya, at sumiping sa kaniya: At siya'y nanganak ng isang lalake, at tinawag niya ang kaniyang pangalan na Salomon. At minahal siya ng Panginoon.
25 He told the prophet Nathan to tell David to name the baby boy Jedediah [which means ‘loved by Yahweh’, ] because Yahweh loved him.
At nagsugo siya sa pamamagitan ng kamay ni Nathan na propeta, at tinawag niya ang kaniyang pangalan na Jedidiah alang-alang sa Panginoon.
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.
Nakipaglaban nga si Joab, sa Rabba sa mga anak ni Ammon, at sinakop ang bayang hari.
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.
At nagsugo si Joab ng mga sugo kay David, at nagsabi, Ako'y nakipaglaban sa Rabba, oo, aking sinakop ang bayan ng mga bukal ng tubig.
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’.”
Ngayon nga'y pisanin mo ang nalabi sa bayan, at humantong ka laban sa bayan, at sakupin mo: baka aking sakupin ang bayan, at tawagin ayon sa aking pangalan.
29 So David gathered all his troops. They went [with David] to Rabbah and attacked it and captured it.
At pinisan ni David ang buong bayan, at naparoon sa Rabba, at bumaka laban doon, at sinakop.
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.
At inalis ang putong ng kanilang hari sa kaniyang ulo: at ang bigat niyaon ay isang talentong ginto, at may mga mahalagang bato; at ipinutong sa ulo ni David. At siya'y naglabas ng samsam sa bayan na totoong marami.
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.
At kaniyang inilabas ang bayan na nandoon, at inilagay sa ilalim ng mga lagari, at ng mga suyod na bakal, at ng mga palakol na bakal, at mga pinaraan sa mga lutuan ng laryo: at gayon ang ginawa niya sa lahat ng mga bayan ng mga anak ni Ammon. At si David at ang buong bayan ay bumalik sa Jerusalem.
