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.
Therfor the Lord sente Nathan to Dauid; and whanne he hadde come to Dauid, he seide to Dauid, Answere thou doom to me; twei men weren in o citee; o man was riche, and the tother was pore.
2 Alẽwo kple nyiwo nɔ kesinɔtɔ la si fũu,
The riche man hadde ful many scheep, and oxun;
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.
sotheli the pore man hadde vttirli no thing, outakun o litil scheep, which he hadde bouyt, and nurschid, and which `hadde wexid at hym with hise sones, and eet togidere of his breed, and drank of his cuppe, and slepte in his bosum; and it was as a douyter to hym.
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.”
Forsothe whanne a pilgrym `hadde come to the riche man, he sparide to take of hise scheep and oxun, that he schulde make a feeste to that pilgrym, that cam to hym; and he took the scheep of the pore man, and `made redi metis to the man that cam to hym.
5 David do dɔmedzoe eye wòka atam be, “Meta Yehowa ƒe agbe be ame si wɔ nu sia la dze na ku!
Forsothe Dauid was ful wrooth with indignacioun ayens that man, and seide to Nathan, The Lord lyueth, for the man that dide this is the sone of deeth;
6 Ele be wòatsɔ alẽ ene aɖo ɖeka si wòfi la teƒe le eƒe nublanuimakpɔmakpɔ ta.”
he schal yelde the scheep in to foure folde, for he dide this word, and sparide not.
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;
Forsothe Nathan seide to Dauid, Thou art thilke man, that hast do this thing. The Lord God of Israel seith these thingis, Y anoyntide thee `in to kyng on Israel, and Y delyuerede thee fro the hond 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 Y yaf to thee the hows of thi lord, and the wyues of thi lord in thi bosum, and Y yaf to thee the hows of Israel, and of Juda; and if these thingis ben litil, Y schal adde to thee myche grettere thingis.
9 Ke nu ka ta nèdo vlo Yehowa ƒe sewo eye nèwɔ nu vɔ̃ɖi sia ɖo? Èwu Uria, Hititɔ eye nèxɔ srɔ̃a!
Whi therfor hast thou dispisid the word of the Lord, that thou didist yuels in my siyt? Thou hast smyte by swerd Vrye Ethei, and thou hast take his wijf in to wijf to thee, and thou hast slayn hym with the swerd of the sones of Amon.
10 Eya ta tso azɔ dzi la, yi madzo le aƒewò me o, elabena edo vlom eye nèxɔ Uria Hititɔ la srɔ̃ ɖe.’
Wherfor swerd schal not go awey fro thin hows til in to with outen ende; for thou dispysidist me, and tokist the wijf of Vrye Ethei, that sche schulde be thi wijf.
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.
Therfor the Lord seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal reise on thee yuel of thin hows, and Y schal take thi wyues in `thin iyen, and Y schal yyue to thi neiybore, and he schal slepe with thi wyues in the iyen of this sunne, `that is, opynli bifor alle men, as in xv. chapitre.
12 Èwɔe le bebeme ke nye ya mawɔ nu sia ɖe ŋuwò le gaglãgbe, le Israel blibo la ŋkume.’”
For thou hast do priueli; forsothe Y schal do this word in the siyt of al Israel, and in the siyt of this sunne.
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 Dauid seide to Nathan, Y haue synned to the Lord. And Nathan seide to Dauid, Also the Lord hath turned awei thi synne; thou schalt not die.
14 gake èna mɔnukpɔkpɔ gã aɖe Yehowa ƒe futɔwo be woado vlo Yehowa eye woagblɔ busunyawo ɖe eŋu eya ta viwò la aku.”
Netheles for thou madist enemyes to blasfeme the name of the Lord, for this word the child which is borun to thee schal die bi deeth.
15 Natan trɔ yi aƒe me. Yehowa na Uria srɔ̃ ƒe vidzĩ si wòdzi na David la dze dɔ kutɔkutɔe.
And Nathan turnede ayen in to his hows. And the Lord smoot the litil child, whom the wijf of Vrye childide to Dauid, and he dispeiride.
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 Dauid preiede the Lord for the litil child; and Dauid fastide bi fastyng, and entride asidis half, and lai on the erthe.
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.
Sotheli the eldere men of his hows camen, and constreyneden hym `bi meke preieris, that he schulde rise fro the erthe; and he nolde, nethir he eet mete with hem.
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.”
Forsothe it bifelde in the seuenthe dai, that the yong child diede; and the seruauntis of Dauid dredde to telle to hym, that the litil child was deed; for thei seiden, Lo! whanne the litil child lyuede yit, we spaken to hym, and he herde not oure vois; hou myche more, if we seien the child is deed, he schal turment himsilf?
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.”
Therfore whanne Dauid hadde herd his seruauntis spekynge priueli, `ether moterynge, he understood that the yong child was deed; `and he seyde to his seruauntis, Whether the child is deed? Whiche answeriden to hym, He is deed.
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.
Therfor Dauid roos fro the erthe, and was waischid, and anoyntid; and whanne he hadde chaungid cloth, he entride in to the hows of the Lord, and worschipide, and cam in to his hows; and he axide, that thei schulden sette breed to hym, and he eet.
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.”
Sothely his seruauntis seiden to hym, What is the word which thou hast do? Thou fastidist, and weptist for the yong child, whanne he lyuede yit; sotheli whanne the child was deed, thou risidist and etist breed?
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 Dauid seide, Y fastide and wepte for the yong child, whanne he lyuyde yit; for Y seide, Who woot, if perauenture the Lord yyue hym to me, and the yong child lyue?
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.”
`Now forsothe for he is deed, whi `fast Y? whether Y schal mow ayen clepe hym more? Y schal `go more to hym, but he schal not turne ayen to me.
24 David fa akɔ na Batseba eye esi wògadɔ egbɔ la, edzi ŋutsuvi eye wòna ŋkɔe be Solomo. Yehowa lɔ̃ ɖevia
And Dauid coumfortid Bersabee, his wijf; and he entride to hir, and slepte with hir. And sche gendride a sone, and Dauid clepide his name Salomon; and the Lord louyde hym.
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 sente Salomon in the hond of Nathan, the prophete; and he clepide his name Amyable to the Lord, for the Lord louyde hym.
26 Azɔ la, Yoab wɔ aʋa kple Amonitɔwo ƒe Raba eye wòxɔ fiadu la.
Therfor Joab fauyt ayens Rabath, of the sones of Amon, and he fauyt ayens the `kyngis citee.
27 Yoab ɖo amewo ɖa be woagblɔ na David be, “Mewɔ aʋa kple Raba eye mexɔ eƒe tsiduƒe la.
And Joab sente messangeris to Dauid, and seide, Y fauyte ayens Rabath, and the citee of watris schal be takun.
28 Azɔ la, kplɔ aʋawɔla mamlɛawo, nàɖe to ɖe dua eye nàxɔe. Ne menye nenema o la, maxɔ dua eye matsɔ nye ŋkɔ nɛ.”
Now therfor gadere thou the tother part of the puple, and bisege thou the citee, and take thou it, lest whanne the citee is wastid of me, the victorie be arettid to my name.
29 Ale David kplɔ aʋakɔ blibo la yi Raba, wɔ aʋa eye wòxɔ du la.
Therfor Dauid gaderide al the puple, and he yede forth ayens Rabath; and whanne he hadde fouyte, he took 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 diademe of the kyng of hem fro his heed, bi weiyte a talent of gold, hauynge preciouseste peerlis; and it was put on the heed of Dauid, `that is, aftir that it was weldid and purgid bi fier; but also Dauid bar awey ful myche prey of the citee.
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.
Also he ledde forth the puple therof, and sawide, and `dide aboute hem `yrun instrumentis of turment, and departide with knyues, and `ledde ouer bi the licnesse of tijl stoonus; so he dide to alle the citees of the sones of Amon. And Dauid turnede ayen, and al his oost, in to Jerusalem.
