2 Samuel 12
1 And Jehovah sendeth Nathan unto David, and he cometh unto him, and saith to him: 'Two men have been in one city; One rich and one poor;
Nake Jehova agĩtũma Nathani kũrĩ Daudi. Na aakinya harĩ we Nathani akĩĩra Daudi atĩrĩ, “Itũũra-inĩ rĩmwe nĩ kwarĩ na andũ eerĩ, ũmwe aarĩ gĩtonga na ũrĩa ũngĩ aarĩ mũthĩĩni.
2 The rich hath flocks and herds very many;
Mũndũ ũcio warĩ gĩtonga aarĩ na ndũũru nyingĩ cia ngʼondu na cia ngʼombe,
3 And the poor one hath nothing, Except one little ewe-lamb, Which he hath bought, and keepeth alive, And it groweth up with him, And with his sons together; Of his morsel it eateth, And from his cup it drinketh, And in his bosom it lieth, And it is to him as a daughter;
no ũcio warĩ mũthĩĩni ndaarĩ na kĩndũ tiga o kamwatĩ kanini aagũrĩte. Agĩkarera, nako gagĩkũra karĩ hamwe nake na ciana ciake. Kaarĩĩaga irio ciake, na gakanyuuagĩra gĩkombe gĩake na gaakomaga gĩthũri-inĩ gĩake. Nako kaarĩ o ta mwarĩ.
4 And there cometh a traveller to the rich man, And he spareth to take Of his own flock, and of his own herd, To prepare for the traveller Who hath come to him, And he taketh the ewe-lamb of the poor man, And prepareth it for the man Who hath come unto him.'
“Na rĩrĩ, mũgeni agĩũka gwa gĩtonga kĩu, no gĩtonga kĩu gĩkĩrega kuoya ngʼondu ĩmwe yakĩo kana ngʼombe gĩthondekere mũgeni ũcio wokĩte gwakĩo gĩa kũrĩa. Handũ ha ũguo, gĩkĩoya kamwatĩ karĩa kaarĩ ka mũthĩĩni na gĩgĩthĩnjĩra mũndũ ũcio wokĩte gwakĩo mũciĩ.”
5 And the anger of David burneth against the man exceedingly, and he saith unto Nathan, 'Jehovah liveth, surely a son of death [is] the man who is doing this,
Daudi agĩcinwo nĩ marakara nĩ ũndũ wa mũndũ ũcio, akĩĩra Nathani atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa Jehova atũũraga muoyo, mũndũ ũcio wĩkĩte ũguo agĩrĩirwo nĩ gũkua!
6 and the ewe-lamb he doth repay fourfold, because that he hath done this thing, and because that he had no pity.'
No nginya arĩhe kamwatĩ kau maita mana, tondũ nĩekĩte ũndũ ta ũcio na akaaga kũiguanĩra tha.”
7 And Nathan saith unto David, 'Thou [art] the man! Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, I anointed thee for king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul;
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Nathani akĩĩra Daudi atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwe mũndũ ũcio! Ũũ nĩguo Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekuuga: ‘Ndagũitĩrĩirie maguta ũtuĩke mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, na ngĩkũhonokia kuuma guoko-inĩ gwa Saũlũ.
8 and I give to thee the house of thy lord, and the wives of thy lord, into thy bosom, and I give to thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if little, then I add to thee such and such [things].
Nĩndakũheire nyũmba ya mwathi waku, o na ngĩkũhe atumia a mwathi waku maikare gĩthũri-inĩ gĩaku. Nĩndakũheire nyũmba ya Isiraeli na Juda. Na kũngĩkorwo maũndũ macio maarĩ manini na matiakũiganĩte-rĩ, nĩingĩakũheire maũndũ mangĩ maingĩ.
9 'Wherefore hast thou despised the word of Jehovah, to do the evil thing in His eyes? Uriah the Hittite thou hast smitten by the sword, and his wife thou hast taken to thee for a wife, and him thou hast slain by the sword of the Bene-Ammon.
Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte ũnyarare kiugo kĩa Jehova, ũgeeka ũũru maitho-inĩ make? Nĩwooragithirie Uria ũrĩa Mũhiti na rũhiũ rwa njora, na ũkĩoya mũtumia wake atuĩke mũtumia waku. Wamũragithirie na rũhiũ rwa njora rwa andũ a Amoni.
10 'And now, the sword doth not turn aside from thy house unto the age, because thou hast despised Me, and dost take the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be to thee for a wife;
Na nĩ ũndũ ũcio, rũhiũ rwa njora rũtikeehera nyũmba yaku, nĩ ũndũ nĩwaanyararire niĩ, na ũkĩoya mũtumia wa Uria ũrĩa Mũhiti atuĩke mũtumia waku.’
11 thus said Jehovah, Lo, I am raising up against thee evil, out of thy house, and have taken thy wives before thine eyes, and given to thy neighbour, and he hath lain with thy wives before the eyes of this sun;
“Jehova ekuuga ũũ: ‘Nĩngũkũrehithĩria thĩĩna kuuma nyũmba yaku wee mwene. O maitho-inĩ maku nĩngoya atumia aku, ndĩmahe mũndũ wa nyũmba yaku, nake nĩagakoma na atumia acio aku mũthenya barigici.
12 for thou hast done [it] in secret, and I do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.'
Wekire ũndũ ũcio na hitho, no Niĩ ngeeka ũndũ ũyũ mũthenya barigici andũ a Isiraeli othe makĩonaga.’”
13 And David saith unto Nathan, 'I have sinned against Jehovah.' And Nathan saith unto David, 'Also — Jehovah hath caused thy sin to pass away; thou dost not die;
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Daudi akĩĩra Nathani atĩrĩ, “Nĩnjĩhĩirie Jehova.” Nathani agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Jehova nĩakwehereirie mehia maku. Ndũgũkua.
14 only, because thou hast caused the enemies of Jehovah greatly to despise by this thing, also the son who is born to thee doth surely die.'
No tondũ nĩũtũmĩte thũ cia Jehova imũmene mũno nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩka ũguo-rĩ, mwana ũcio ũciarĩirwo nĩegũkua.”
15 And Nathan goeth unto his house, and Jehovah smiteth the lad, whom the wife of Uriah hath born to David, and it is incurable;
Nathani aarĩkia kũinũka mũciĩ-rĩ, Jehova agĩtũma mwana ũcio mũtumia wa Uria aaciarĩire Daudi arũare.
16 and David seeketh God for the youth, and David keepeth a fast, and hath gone in and lodged, and lain on the earth.
Daudi agĩthaitha Ngai nĩ ũndũ wa mwana ũcio. Akĩĩhinga kũrĩa irio, agĩtoonya nyũmba yake, agĩkoma thĩ ũtukũ ũcio wothe.
17 And the elders of his house rise against him, to raise him up from the earth, and he hath not been willing, nor hath he eaten with them bread;
Nao athuuri a nyũmba yake magĩthiĩ hakuhĩ nake nĩguo mamũrũgamie na igũrũ nowe akĩrega, na ndaigana kũrĩanĩra irio nao.
18 and it cometh to pass on the seventh day, that the lad dieth, and the servants of David fear to declare to him that the lad is dead, for they said, 'Lo, in the lad being alive we spake unto him, and he did not hearken to our voice; and how do we say unto him, The lad is dead? — then he hath done evil.'
Mũthenya wa mũgwanja wakinya-rĩ, mwana ũcio agĩkua. Nacio ndungata cia Daudi igĩĩtigĩra kũmwĩra atĩ mwana ũcio nĩakuĩte. Tondũ cioigire atĩrĩ, “Rĩrĩa mwana oima muoyo, twarĩirie Daudi na akaaga gũtũthikĩrĩria. Twahota atĩa kũmwĩra atĩ mwana nĩakuĩte? Aahota kwĩgera ngero.”
19 And David seeth that his servants are whispering, and David understandeth that the lad is dead, and David saith unto his servants, 'Is the lad dead?' and they say, 'Dead.'
No Daudi akĩona atĩ ndungata ciake nĩciaheehanaga, akĩmenya atĩ mwana ũcio nĩakuĩte. Nake akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ mwana akuĩte?” Nao magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ, nĩakuĩte.”
20 And David riseth from the earth, and doth bathe and anoint [himself], and changeth his raiment, and cometh in to the house of Jehovah, and boweth himself, and cometh unto his house, and asketh and they place for him bread, and he eateth.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Daudi agĩũkĩra. Aarĩkia gwĩthamba, akĩĩhaka maguta na akĩgarũrĩra nguo ciake, agĩthiĩ nyũmba ya Jehova, akĩinamĩrĩra, na akĩhooya. Ningĩ agĩcooka agĩthiĩ gwake mũciĩ, agĩĩtia irio, nao andũ ake makĩmũrehere, akĩrĩa.
21 And his servants say unto him, 'What [is] this thing thou hast done? because of the living lad thou hast fasted and dost weep, and when the lad is dead thou hast risen and dost eat bread.'
Ndungata ciake ĩkĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũreka ũguo nĩkĩ? Rĩrĩa mwana ararĩ muoyo nĩũrehingĩte na ũkarĩra, no mwana akua-rĩ, wokĩra na warĩa irio!”
22 And he saith, 'While the lad is alive I have fasted, and weep, for I said, Who knoweth? — Jehovah doth pity me, and the lad hath lived;
Nake agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mwana ararĩ muoyo-rĩ, ndĩrehingaga na ngarĩra. ngĩĩciiria atĩrĩ, ‘Nũũ ũũĩ? Jehova aahota kũnjiguĩra tha areke mwana ũcio atũũre muoyo.’
23 and now, he hath died, why [is] this — I fast? am I able to bring him back again? I am going unto him, and he doth not turn back unto me.'
No rĩu tondũ nĩakuĩte-rĩ, nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma ndĩĩhinge? Ndaahota kũmũriũkia? Nĩ niĩ ngaathiĩ kũrĩ we, no ndangĩcooka kũrĩ niĩ.”
24 And David comforteth Bath-Sheba his wife, and goeth in unto her, and lieth with her, and she beareth a son, and he calleth his name Solomon; and Jehovah hath loved him,
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Daudi akĩhooreria mũtumia wake Bathisheba, agĩthiĩ kũrĩ we na agĩkoma nake. Nake agĩciara kahĩĩ; nao magĩgatua Solomoni. Nake Jehova agĩkenda;
25 and sendeth by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and calleth his name Jedidiah, because of Jehovah.
na tondũ Jehova nĩakendete-rĩ, agĩtũma mũnabii Nathani athiĩ agakahe rĩĩtwa Jedidia.
26 And Joab fighteth against Rabbah of the Bene-Ammon, and captureth the royal city,
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Joabu akĩhũũra Raba itũũra rĩa andũ a Amoni, na agĩtunyana kĩhingo kĩa hinya kĩa ũthamaki.
27 and Joab sendeth messengers unto David, and saith, 'I have fought against Rabbah — also I have captured the city of waters;
Ningĩ Joabu agĩtũma andũ kũrĩ Daudi, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩhũũranĩte na itũũra rĩa Raba o na ngatunyana maaĩ marĩo.
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 hath been called upon it.'
Na rĩrĩ, cookanĩrĩria ikundi icio ingĩ cia mbũtũ cia ita, nĩguo ithiũrũrũkĩrie itũũra rĩu inene irĩĩgwatĩre. Angĩkorwo ti ũguo nĩngwĩgwatĩra itũũra rĩu inene, narĩo rĩĩtanagio na niĩ.”
29 And David gathereth all the people, and goeth to Rabbah, and fighteth against it, and captureth it;
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Daudi agĩcookanĩrĩria mbũtũ ciake ciothe cia ita agĩthiĩ Raba, na akĩrĩtharĩkĩra, akĩrĩtunyana.
30 and he taketh 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 the spoil of the city he hath brought out, very much;
Nake akĩoya thũmbĩ ya mũtwe ya mũthamaki wao, na ũritũ wayo warĩ taranda ĩmwe ya thahabu, na nĩ yagemetio na tũhiga twa goro, nayo ĩkĩigĩrĩrwo mũtwe wa Daudi. Nake agĩtaha indo nyingĩ mũno kuuma itũũra rĩu inene,
31 and the people who [are] in it he hath brought out, and setteth to the saw, and to cutting instruments of iron, and to axes of iron, and hath caused them to pass over into the brick-kiln; and so he doth to all the cities of the Bene-Ammon; and David turneth back, and all the people, to Jerusalem.
akĩrutũrũra aikari akuo, akĩmahe wĩra wa gwatũra mbaũ na mĩthumeno, na aruti wĩra na harũ cia igera na wa mathanwa, na wĩra wa gũthondeka maturubarĩ. Nake eekire ũguo matũũra-inĩ mothe ma Aamoni. Thuutha ũcio Daudi na mbũtũ ciake ciothe cia ita magĩcooka Jerusalemu.
