2 Samyèl 12
1 Seyè a voye pwofèt Natan kot David. Natan rive kote l', li di l' konsa: -Vwala te gen de nonm ki t'ap viv nan yon lavil. Yonn te rich, lòt la te pòv.
Then the Lord sent Nathan vnto Dauid, who came to him, and sayd vnto him, There were two men in one citie, the one riche, and the other poore.
2 Nonm rich la te gen mouton ak bèf an kantite.
The rich man had exceeding many sheepe and oxen:
3 Pòv la menm pa t' gen pase yon sèl ti mouton li te achte. Li swen li. Se anndan lakay li ansanm ak pitit li yo ti mouton an grandi. Se nan asyèt malere a menm ti mouton an te konn manje. Se nan gode l' li bwè dlo. Se sou janm li li konn dòmi. Ti mouton an te tankou yon pitit fi pou li.
But the poore had none at all, saue one litle sheepe which he had bought, and nourished vp: and it grew vp with him, and with his children also, and did eate of his owne morsels, and dranke of his owne cup, and slept in his bosome, and was vnto him as his daughter.
4 Yon jou, yon vizitè vin rive lakay nonm rich la. Nonm rich la pa t' santi kouraj li pou l' te pran yonn nan mouton l' yo osinon nan bèf li yo pou l' fè manje bay vizitè a. Li pran ti mouton malere a, li fe manje ak li bay vizitè ki te lakay li a.
Now there came a stranger vnto the rich man, who refused to take of his owne sheepe, and of his owne oxen to dresse for the stranger that was come vnto him, but tooke the poore mans sheepe, and dressed it for the man that was come to him.
5 David fache anpil sou nonm rich la. Li di Natan konsa: -Mwen fè sèman nan non Seyè ki vivan an! Nonm ki fè bagay sa a merite pou yo touye l'.
Then Dauid was exceeding wroth with the man, and sayde to Nathan, As the Lord liueth, the man that hath done this thing, shall surely dye,
6 Pou l' peye bagay lèd li fè a, l'ap renmèt kat fwa lavalè sa l' te pran an, paske li san pitye.
And he shall restore the lambe foure folde, because he did this thing, and had no pitie thereof.
7 Le sa a, Natan di David: -Nonm sa a, se ou menm! Men mesaj Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, voye ba ou: Mwen te fè ou wa pèp Izrayèl la. Mwen sove ou anba men Sayil.
Then Nathan sayd to Dauid, Thou art the man. Thus sayth the Lord God of Israel, I anoynted thee King ouer Israel, and deliuered thee out of the hand of Saul,
8 Mwen ba ou baton kòmandman ki te nan men l' lan ansanm ak tout madanm li yo. Mwen mete ou wa pou gouvènen ni moun Izrayèl yo, ni moun Jida yo. Si sa pa t' kont toujou, mwen ta ba ou menm de fwa lavalè ankò.
And gaue thee thy lordes house, and thy lords wiues into thy bosome, and gaue thee the house of Israel, and of Iudah, and would moreouer (if that had bene too litle) haue giuen thee such and such things.
9 Poukisa atò ou pa swiv lòd mwen yo? Poukisa ou fè mechanste sa a? Ou fè yo touye Ouri nan lagè, ou kite moun Amon yo touye l'. Lèfini, ou pran madanm li!
Wherefore hast thou despised the commandement of the Lord, to doe euill in his sight? thou hast killed Vriah the Hittite with ye sworde, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slaine him with the sworde of the children of Ammon.
10 Koulye a, paske ou pa t' koute m', paske ou pran madan Ouri, moun Et la, pou madanm ou, nan fanmi ou ap toujou gen goumen.
Now therefore the sworde shall neuer depart from thine house, because thou hast despised me, and taken the wife of Vriah the Hittite to be thy wife.
11 Men sa mwen menm Seyè a, mwen di: M'ap fè yon moun nan fanmi ou menm soti pou ba ou traka. M'ap wete madanm ou yo nan men ou, m'ap bay yon moun nan fanmi ou yo. L'a kouche avèk yo devan tout moun.
Thus sayth the Lord, Behold, I will rayse vp euil against thee out of thine owne house, and will take thy wiues before thine eyes, and giue them vnto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wiues in the sight of this sunne.
12 Ou menm, ou te fè zafè ou la an kachèt. Mwen menm, m'ap fè sa rive devan tout moun pou tout pèp Izrayèl la ka wè sa.
For thou diddest it secretly: but I will doe this thing before all Israel, and before the sunne.
13 David di Natan konsa: -Wi, mwen rekonèt mwen peche kont Seyè a! Lè sa a Natan di l' konsa: -Bondye sèl Mèt la p'ap pini ou pou sa ou fè a, ou p'ap mouri.
Then Dauid sayde vnto Nathan, I haue sinned against the Lord. And Nathan sayde vnto Dauid, The Lord also hath put away thy sinne, thou shalt not die.
14 Sèlman, ak sa ou fè la a, ou moutre jan ou ka derespekte Seyè a. Se poutèt sa pitit ou fèk genyen an ap mouri.
Howbeit because by this deede thou hast caused the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme, the childe that is borne vnto thee shall surely die.
15 Apre sa, Natan al lakay li. Seyè a fè pitit madan Ouri te fè pou David la vin malad grav.
So Nathan departed vnto his house: and the Lord stroke the childe that Vriahs wife bare vnto Dauid, and it was sicke.
16 David tonbe lapriyè Seyè a pou ti gason an. Li derefize mete anyen nan bouch li. Chak swa, li antre nan chanm li, li pase nwit lan kouche atè.
Dauid therefore besought God for the childe, and fasted and went in, and lay all night vpon the earth.
17 Chèf ki te reskonsab palè li a al jwenn li, yo fè sa yo kapab pou fè l' leve atè a, men li derefize. Konsa tou, li pa t' vle manje avèk yo.
Then the Elders of his house arose to come vnto him, and to cause him to rise from the groud: but he would not, neither did he eate meate with them.
18 Apre yon senmenn, pitit la mouri. Chèf kay David yo te pè al ba li nouvèl la. Yo t'ap di: Si lè pitit la te malad ase, David te refize reponn nou lè nou pale avè l', ki jan pou n' al di l' koulye a pitit la mouri? Li ka fè malè sou tèt li.
So on the seuenth day the child dyed: and the seruants of Dauid feared to tell him that the childe was dead: for they sayde, Beholde, while the childe was aliue, we spake vnto him, and he woulde not hearken vnto our voyce: how then shall we say vnto him, The childe is dead, to vexe him more?
19 Men David wè moun li yo t'ap pale nan zòrèy yonn ak lòt, li vin konprann pitit la mouri. Li mande yo: -Pitit la mouri? Yo reponn li: -Wi, li mouri.
But when Dauid sawe that his seruantes whispered, Dauid perceiued that the childe was dead: therefore Dauid sayde vnto his seruants, Is the childe dead? And they sayd, He is dead.
20 David leve atè a, li al benyen, li penyen tèt li, li chanje rad sou li. li ale nan kay Seyè a, li lapriyè. Apre sa, li tounen lakay li, li mande pou yo sèvi l' manje. Li manje.
Then Dauid arose from the earth, and washed and anoynted himselfe, and changed his apparell, and came into the house of the Lord, and worshipped, and afterward came to his owne house, and bade that they should set bread before him, and he did eate.
21 Moun pa l' yo t'ap di l': -Monwa, nou pa konprann sa w'ap fè konsa? Lè pitit la te vivan, ou t'ap plede kriye, ou rete san manje. Men, mouri pitit lan mouri, ou leve, ou manje.
Then saide his seruants vnto him, What thing is this, that thou hast done? thou diddest fast and weepe for the childe while it was aliue, but when the childe was dead, thou diddest rise vp, and eate meate.
22 David reponn yo: -Wi, mwen t'ap kriye, mwen te rete san manje lè pitit la te vivan toujou. Mwen te kwè Seyè a ta gen pitye pou mwen, li pa ta kite pitit la mouri.
And he sayde, While the childe was yet aliue, I fasted, and wept: for I sayde, Who can tell whether God will haue mercy on me, that the childe may liue?
23 Men, koulye a, pitit la mouri, sa m' bezwen rete san manje toujou fè? Eske mwen ka fè l' leve ankò? Yon jou se mwen ki gen pou ale kote l' ye a. Men li menm, li p'ap janm ka tounen vin jwenn mwen ankò.
But now being dead, wherefore shoulde I now fast? Can I bring him againe any more? I shall goe to him, but he shall not returne to me.
24 Apre sa, David al konsole Batcheba, madanm li. Li kouche avè l', Batcheba vin ansent, li fè yon pitit gason. David rele l' Salomon. Seyè a te renmen ti gason sa a.
And Dauid comforted Bath-sheba his wife, and went in vnto her, and lay with her, and she bare a sonne, and he called his name Salomon: also the Lord loued him.
25 Li bay pwofèt Natan lòd al di David rele pitit la Jedidya, paske Seyè a te renmen l' vre.
For the Lord had sent by Nathan the Prophet: therefore he called his name Iedidiah, because the Lord loued him.
26 Pandan tout tan sa a, Joab t'ap goumen toujou devan lavil Raba, kapital peyi Amon an. Li te prèt pou pran katye kote wa a te rete a.
Then Ioab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and tooke the citie of the kingdome.
27 Li voye mesaje al di David pou li: -Mwen atake lavil Raba. Mwen pran rezèvwa dlo yo.
Therefore Ioab sent messengers to Dauid, saying, I haue fought against Rabbah, and haue taken the citie of waters.
28 Koulye a, sanble tout rès lame a, mache sou lavil la, vin pran li. Mwen pa ta vle se mwen menm ki pran lavil la lèfini pou tout lwanj lan vin pou mwen.
Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and besiege the city, that thou mayest take it, lest the victorie be attributed to me.
29 Se konsa, David sanble tout lame a, li mache sou lavil Raba. Li atake l', li pran l'.
So Dauid gathered al the people together, and went against Rabbah, and besieged it, and tooke it.
30 Estati Milkòm, zidòl moun Amon yo, te gen yon gwo kouwòn fèt an lò sou tèt li. Kouwòn lan te peze swasannkenz liv, li te gen yon gwo pyè koute chè ladan l'. David pran kouwòn lò ki te sou tèt zidòl la, li mete l' sou tèt pa l'. Lèfini, se pa de bagay li pa pran nan lavil la.
And he tooke their Kings crowne from his head, (which weighed a talent of golde, with precious stones) and it was set on Dauids head: and he brought away the spoyle of the citie in exceeding great abundance.
31 Li pran moun ki te rete nan lavil la, li fè yo travay ak goyin, wou ak rach. Li mete yo travay ap fè brik. Li fè menm bagay la tou nan tout lòt lavil nan peyi Amon an. Apre sa, li tounen Jerizalèm ak tout moun li yo.
And he carryed away the people that was therein, and put them vnder sawes, and vnder yron harowes, and vnder axes of yron, and cast them into the tyle kylne: euen thus did he with all the cities of the children of Ammon. Then Dauid and all the people returned vnto Ierusalem.
