Samuel 2 12
1 Ale Yehowa ɖo Nyagblɔɖila Natan ɖa be wòagblɔ ŋutinya sia na David be, “Ŋutsu eve aɖewo le du aɖe me, ɖeka nye kesinɔtɔ gã aɖe eye evelia nye ame dahe.
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.
2 Alẽwo kple nyiwo nɔ kesinɔtɔ la si fũu,
To [the] rich [man] it belonged flock[s] and herd[s] many very.
3 ke alẽvi ɖeka pɛ koe nɔ ame dahe la ya si eye eya kple viawo kpɔa dzidzɔ le alẽvi la ŋu ŋutɔ. Ame dahe la nana alẽvi la ɖua nu le eya ŋutɔ ƒe agba me eye wònoa nu le eƒe kplu nu. Elénɛ ɖe abɔ abe via nyɔnuvie wònye ene.
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.
4 “Gbe ɖeka la, amedzro aɖe va dze kesinɔtɔ la. Le esime kesinɔtɔ la nalé alẽ ɖeka tso eya ŋutɔ ƒe alẽ gbogboawo dome awu na amedzroa teƒe la, elé ame dahe la ƒe alẽ ɖeka ma, wui eye wòtsɔe ɖa nue na amedzro la.”
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.
5 David do dɔmedzoe eye wòka atam be, “Meta Yehowa ƒe agbe be ame si wɔ nu sia la dze na ku!
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.
6 Ele be wòatsɔ alẽ ene aɖo ɖeka si wòfi la teƒe le eƒe nublanuimakpɔmakpɔ ta.”
And the ewe-lamb he will restore fourfold consequence that he did the thing this and on that not he showed pity.
7 Tete Natan gblɔ na David be, “Wò tututue nye kesinɔtɔ ma! Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔ be, ‘Meɖo wò fiae ɖe Israel dzi eye meɖe wò tso Saul ƒe asi me;
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.
8 metsɔ eƒe fiasã, srɔ̃awo, eƒe fiaɖuƒe, Israel kple Yuda siaa na wò. Magate ŋu ana nu geɖewo wò wu ne esiawo mesɔ gbɔ na wò o.
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.
9 Ke nu ka ta nèdo vlo Yehowa ƒe sewo eye nèwɔ nu vɔ̃ɖi sia ɖo? Èwu Uria, Hititɔ eye nèxɔ srɔ̃a!
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.
10 Eya ta tso azɔ dzi la, yi madzo le aƒewò me o, elabena edo vlom eye nèxɔ Uria Hititɔ la srɔ̃ ɖe.’
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.
11 “‘Meka atam be le nu si nèwɔ ta la, mana wò ŋutɔ wò aƒemetɔwo natso ɖe ŋuwò. Matsɔ srɔ̃wòwo ana ŋutsu bubuwo eye wòadɔ wo gbɔ le ŋdɔkutsu dzatsɛ be ame sia ame nakpɔ.
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.
12 Èwɔe le bebeme ke nye ya mawɔ nu sia ɖe ŋuwò le gaglãgbe, le Israel blibo la ŋkume.’”
For you you acted in secret and I I will do the thing this before all Israel and before the sun.
13 David ʋu eme nublanuitɔe na Natan be, “Mewɔ nu vɔ̃ ɖe Yehowa ŋu.” Natan ɖo eŋu be, “Ɛ̃, gake Yehowa tsɔe ke wò eye màku le nu vɔ̃ sia ta o
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.
14 gake èna mɔnukpɔkpɔ gã aɖe Yehowa ƒe futɔwo be woado vlo Yehowa eye woagblɔ busunyawo ɖe eŋu eya ta viwò la aku.”
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.
15 Natan trɔ yi aƒe me. Yehowa na Uria srɔ̃ ƒe vidzĩ si wòdzi na David la dze dɔ kutɔkutɔe.
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.
16 David ɖe kuku na Mawu be wòana ɖevi la natsi agbe, egbe nuɖuɖu eye wòmlɔ anyigba ƒuƒlu le Yehowa ŋkume to zã blibo la me.
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.
17 Ametsitsi siwo le eƒe aƒe me la kpɔ egbɔ be woana wòafɔ aɖu nu, gake egbe fɔfɔ eye melɔ̃ hã be yeaɖu naneke kpli wo o.
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.
18 Le ŋkeke adrea gbe la, ɖevi la ku. David ŋumewo vɔ̃ be yewoagblɔe nɛ. Wogblɔ be “Esi ɖevia nɔ agbe la, míeƒo nu nɛ, ke meɖo to mí o; azɔ la, aleke míawɔ agblɔ nɛ be ɖevia ku? Ate ŋu awɔ nuvevi eɖokui.”
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.
19 Ke esi David kpɔ wo wonɔ dalĩ dom na wo nɔewo la, enya nya si dzɔ. Ebia be, “Ɖevia kua?” Woɖo eŋu be, “Ɛ̃, eku.”
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.
20 David fɔ le anyigba, le tsi, vu ɖa, ɖɔli awu eye wòyi ɖasubɔ le Yehowa ƒe aƒe me. Le esiawo megbe la, etrɔ va fiasã la me, bia be woaɖa nu na ye eye wòɖu nua nyuie.
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.
21 Nu sia wɔ nuku na eŋumewo eye wogblɔ nɛ be, “Míese wò nuwɔna sia gɔme o. Esi ɖevia nɔ agbe la, èfa avi eye nègbe nuɖuɖu, ke azɔ esi ɖevia ku la, èdzudzɔ konyifafa eye nègade asi nuɖuɖu me.”
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.
22 David ɖo eŋu be, “Metsi nu dɔ eye mefa avi esi ɖevia nɔ agbe elabena megblɔ be, ‘Ɖewohĩ Yehowa ave nunye eye wòana ɖevia natsi agbe.’
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.
23 Ke nu ka ta magatsi nu adɔ esi wòku? Ɖe mate ŋu ana wòagbɔ agbea? Egbɔe mayi, ke eya magate ŋu atrɔ va gbɔnye o.”
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.
24 David fa akɔ na Batseba eye esi wògadɔ egbɔ la, edzi ŋutsuvi eye wòna ŋkɔe be Solomo. Yehowa lɔ̃ ɖevia
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.
25 eye wòɖo du kple yayra ɖee to Nyagblɔɖila Natan dzi, be woana ŋkɔ ɖevia be “Yedidia” si gɔmee nye, “Yehowa ƒe lɔlɔ̃tɔ” le lɔlɔ̃ tɔxɛ si Yehowa tsɔ nɛ la ta.
And he sent by [the] hand of Nathan the prophet and he called name his Jedidiah for sake of Yahweh.
26 Azɔ la, Yoab wɔ aʋa kple Amonitɔwo ƒe Raba eye wòxɔ fiadu la.
And he fought Joab against Rabbah of [the] people of Ammon and he captured [the] city of royalty.
27 Yoab ɖo amewo ɖa be woagblɔ na David be, “Mewɔ aʋa kple Raba eye mexɔ eƒe tsiduƒe la.
And he sent Joab messengers to David and he said I have fought against Rabbah also I have captured [the] city of the waters.
28 Azɔ la, kplɔ aʋawɔla mamlɛawo, nàɖe to ɖe dua eye nàxɔe. Ne menye nenema o la, maxɔ dua eye matsɔ nye ŋkɔ nɛ.”
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.
29 Ale David kplɔ aʋakɔ blibo la yi Raba, wɔ aʋa eye wòxɔ du la.
And he gathered David all the people and he went Rabbah towards and he fought against it and he captured it.
30 Eɖe fiakuku le ta na Fia la. Fiakuku la ƒe kpekpemee nye sika talento ɖeka eye wotɔ kpe xɔasiwo ɖe eŋu. Wotsɔe ɖɔ na David. Elɔ afunyinu geɖewo tso du la me.
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.
31 Ekplɔ dua me nɔlawo dzoe eye wode dɔ sesẽwo wɔwɔ asi na wo be woawɔ kple laxalaxawo, fiwo kple fiawo. Ena wowɔ dɔ le kpemeƒe la hã. Ewɔ Amonitɔwo ƒe duwo katã me tɔwo alea. David kple aʋakɔ la gbugbɔ va Yerusalem.
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.
