II Samuel 12
1 Kalpasanna, imbaon ni Yahweh ni Natan a mapan kenni David. Napan isuna kenkuana ket kinunana, “Adda iti dua a lallaki iti maysa a siudad. Ti maysa a lalaki ket nabaknang ken nakurapay ti maysa.
The Lord sent Nathan to see David. When he got there, he said, “Once there were two men living in the same town. One was rich, and one was poor.
2 Ti nabaknang ket addaan iti adu a bilang ti arbanna ken tarakenna,
The rich man had many thousands of sheep and cattle,
3 ngem ti nakurapay ket awanan malaksid iti maysa nga urbon a kabaian a karnero a ginatangna, pinakanna ken pinadakkelna. Dimmakkel daytoy a kaduana ken dagiti annakna. Makipangan pay ti urbon a karnero kenkuana ken makiinom iti bukodna a baso, maturog kadagiti takkiagna ken daytoy ket kasla iti maysa nga putot a babae kenkuana.
but the poor man didn't have anything but one small ewe lamb that he had bought. He cared for it, and it grew up with him and his children. It would eat from his plate and drank from his cup. It slept on his lap and was like a daughter to him.
4 Maysa nga aldaw, adda maysa a sangaili ti napan iti nabaknang ngem saan a kayat ti nabaknang a lalaki ti mangala iti ayup manipud iti bukodna nga arban ken taraken tapno itedna a taraon para iti sangalina. Ngem ketdi, innalana ti urbon a kabaian a karnero ti nakurapay sana linuto maipaay iti sangailina.”
One day the rich man had a visitor. He didn't want to take one of his own sheep or cattle to feed his visitor. He took the poor man's lamb instead to prepare a meal for his visitor.”
5 Simged ti unget ni David maibusor iti nabaknang ket nakaluksaw isuna kenni Natan, “Iti nagan ni Yahweh nga adda iti agnanayon, maikari a mapapatay ti lalaki a nangaramid iti daytoy.
David became absolutely furious with what that man did, and angrily told Nathan. “As the Lord lives, the man who did this should be put to death!
6 Nasken a bayadanna ti urbon a karnero iti maminpat a daras gapu iti kasta nga inaramidna, ken gapu ta awan ti asina iti nakurapay.”
He must repay that lamb with four of his own for doing this, for being so heartless.”
7 Kinuna ni Natan kenni David, “Sika dayta a lalaki! Kinuna ni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel, 'Pinulotanka nga ari iti entero nga Israel, ken inispalka manipud iti ima ni Saul.
“You are that man!” Nathan told David. “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I anointed you king of Israel, and I saved you from Saul.
8 Intedko kenka ti balay ti amom, ken dagiti assawana kadagiti takkiagmo. Intedko pay ti balay ti Israel ken Juda. Ket no bassit unay dayta, itedko pay kenka dagiti adu a banbanag a nayonna.
I gave your master's house to you and placed your master's wives in your lap. I gave you the kingdom of Israel and Judah, and if that hadn't been enough, I would have given you so much more.
9 Apay ngarud a sinalungasingmo dagiti bilbilin ni Yahweh tapno naaramidmo ti dakes iti imatangna? Pinapataymo ni Urias a Heteo babaen iti kampilan ken innalam ti asawana tapno agbalin nga asawam. Pinapataymo isuna babaen ti kampilan ti armada ti Ammon.
So why have you treated what Lord said with contempt by doing evil in his sight? You killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword and stole his wife—you killed him using the sword of the Ammonites.
10 Isu nga ita, saanen a pumanaw ti kampilan iti balaymo, gapu ta sinalungasingnak ken innalam a kas asawa ti asawa ni Urias a Heteo.'
So your descendants will always face the sword that kills because you treated me with contempt and stole Uriah's wife.
11 Kinuna ni Yahweh, 'Kitaem, mangpataudak iti didigra a maibusor kenka manipud iti bukodmo a balay. Iti mismo a sangoanam, alaek dagiti assawam ket itedko ida iti kaarubam, kaiddaennanto dagiti assawam iti tengnga ti aldaw.
This is what the Lord says: I'm going to bring disaster in you from your own family. I will take your wives before your very eyes and give them to someone else, and he will sleep openly with your wives where everyone can see.
12 Gapu ta nagbasolka a sililimed, ngem aramidek daytoy a banag iti imatang ti entero nga Israel, iti lawag ti init.'”
You did it all in secret, but I will do it openly where everyone in all of Israel can see.”
13 Kalpasanna, kinuna ni David kenni Natan, “Nagbasolak kenni Yahweh.” Simmungbat ni Natan kenni David, “Pinalabasen ni Yahweh ti basolmo. Saanka ngarud a mapapatay.
David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the Lord.” “The Lord has forgiven your sins. You're not going to die,” Nathan replied.
14 Nupay kasta, gapu iti daytoy nga aramidmo sinalungasingmo ni Yahweh, awan duadua a matay ti ubing a maipasngay nga anakmo.”
“But because by doing this you have treated the Lord with complete contempt, the son you have will die.”
15 Kalpasanna, pimmanaw ni Natan ket nagawid. Dinusa ni Yahweh ti anak ti asawa ni Urias nga inyanakna para kenni David, ket nagsakit isuna iti nakaro.
Then Nathan went home. The Lord made the child that Uriah's wife had borne to David become very sick.
16 Nagpakaasi ngarud ni David iti Dios agpaay iti ubing. Nagayunar isuna, simrek iti uneg ket nagpatnag a nagidda iti suelo.
David pleaded with God on behalf of the boy. He fasted, went to his bedroom, and spent the night lying in sackcloth on the ground.
17 Timmakder dagiti panglakayen iti balayna ket timmakderda iti abayna a mangibangon kenkuana ngem saan isuna a bimmangon, ken saan a nakipangan kadakuada.
His senior officials approached him and tried to help him up from the ground, but he didn't want to, and he refused their appeals to eat.
18 Ket dimteng iti maikapito nga aldaw, natay ti ubing. Mabuteng dagiti adipen ni David a mangibaga a natayen ti ubing, ta kinunada, “Kitaenyo, idi sibibiag pay ti ubing kinatungtungtayo isuna, ket saanna nga impangag ti timektayo. Ania ngata ti aramidenna iti bagina no ibagatayo kenkuana a natayen ti ubing?!”
On the seventh day the child died. But David's officials were scared to tell him that the child was dead, for they said to each other, “Look, while the child was still alive, we talked with him, and he refused to listen to us. How on earth can we tell him the child is dead? He may do something really bad!”
19 Ngem idi nakita ni David nga agiinnarasaas dagiti adipenna, naamiris ni David a natayen ti ubing. Kinunana kadagiti adipenna, “Natay kadin ti ubing?” Insungbatda, “Wen apo, natayen isuna.”
But David saw his officials were whispering among themselves, he realized that the child was dead. So he asked his officials, “Did the child die?” “Yes, he died,” they replied.
20 Timmakder ngarud ni David manipud iti datar sa nagdigos, sinapsappoanna ti lana ti bagina, ket nagsukat iti badona. Napan isuna iti tabernakulo ni Yahweh ket nagdayaw sadiay, sa nagsubli iti bukodna a palasio. Idi nagdawat isuna iti makan, nagidasarda para kenkuana, ket nangan isuna.
David got up from the ground, washed and put on scented oils, and changed his clothes. Then he went to the house of the Lord and worshiped. Afterwards he went back home, and asked for some food. So they served him a meal which he ate.
21 Ket kinuna dagiti adipenna kenkuana, “Apo, apay a kastoy ti inaramidmo? Nagayunar ken nagdung-awka para iti ubing idi sibibiag pay isuna, ngem idi natayen ti ubing, bimmangonka ket nanganka.”
“Why are you acting like this?” his officials asked him. “While the child was still alive, you fasted and cried aloud, but now that he's dead, you get up and eat.”
22 Simmungbat ni David, “Idi sibibiag pay iti ubing, nagayunar ken nagdung-awak. Kinunak, 'Siasino ti makaammo no paraburannak ni Yahweh wenno saan, tapno agbiag ti ubing?'
David replied, “While the child was still alive, I fasted and cried aloud, for I thought to myself, ‘Who knows? Maybe the Lord will be gracious to me and let him live.’
23 Ngem ita, natayen isuna isu nga apay pay nga agayunarak? Maisublik pay kadi isuna? Mapanakto kenkuana ngem saanen isuna nga agsubli kaniak.”
But now that he's dead, what's the point for me to go on fasting? Can I bring him back again? One day I will die and go to him, but he will never come back to me.”
24 Liniwliwa ni David ni Batseba nga asawana, napan kenkuana, ket nakikaidda isuna kenkuana. Isu a naganak ni Batseba iti maysa a lalaki, ket pinanagananna ti ubing iti Solomon. Inay-ayat ni Yahweh ti ubing,
David consoled his wife Bathsheba, and he made love to her. She gave birth to a son, and named him Solomon. The Lord loved the child,
25 isu a nangipatulod isuna iti sao babaen kenni Natan a propeta tapno panagananna isuna ti Jedidia, gapu ta inay-ayat ni Yahweh ti ubing.
so he sent a message through Nathan the prophet to name him Jedidiah, because the Lord loved him.
26 Ita, ginubat ni Joab ti Rabba, ti kangrunaan a siudad dagiti tattao ti Ammon, ket nasakupna dagiti sarikedkedna.
At this time Joab had been fighting against the Ammonite town of Rabbah, and had captured the royal fortress.
27 Isu a nangibaon ni Joab kadagiti mensahero kenni David ket kinunana, “Ginubatko ti Rabba ket naalak ti pagtataudan ti danum ti siudad.
Joab sent messengers to David to tell him, “I have attacked Rabbah and I have also captured its water supply.
28 Isu nga ita, ummongem dagiti nabatbati iti armada, pagkampoem maibusor iti siudad ket alaem daytoy gapu ta no maalak ti siudad, maipanaganto daytoy kaniak.”
So please call up the rest of the army, besiege the town, and capture it. Otherwise I will capture the city, and I will get the credit.”
29 Isu nga inummong ni David amin nga armada ket napanda idiay Rabba; nakigubat isuna maibusor iti siudad ket nasakupna daytoy.
So David called up the rest of the army and marched on Rabbah. He attacked it and captured it.
30 Innala ni David ti korona ni Molec manipud iti ulona-maysa a talento a balitok ti dagsenna, ken adda napateg a bato iti daytoy. Naiparabaw ti korona iti ulo ni David. Kalpasanna, innalana nga inruar iti siudad ti dakkel a kantidad ti nasamsamda.
He took the crown from the head of their king, and it was placed on David's head. It weighed a talent of gold and was decorated with precious stones. David took a large amount of plunder from the town.
31 Pinaruarna dagiti tattao iti siudad ken pinilitna ida nga agragadi, aggabyon, ken agbalsig; pinagtrabadona pay ida iti pagaramidan ti ladrilio. Pinilit ni David dagiti amin a siudad dagiti tattao a taga-Amnon a trabahoen daytoy. Kalpasanna, nagsubli ni David ken ti amin nga armada iti Jerusalem.
David took the inhabitants and forced them to work with saws, iron picks, and axes, and he also made them work making bricks. He did the same in all the Ammonite towns. Then David and the whole Israelite army returned to Jerusalem.
