2 Samuele 12
1 Yawe atindaki Natan epai ya Davidi. Tango akomaki epai ya Davidi, alobaki na ye: « Ezalaki na bato mibale kati na engumba moko: moko kati na bango azalaki mozwi; mpe mosusu, mobola.
Then the Lord sent Nathan to David. And when he had come to him, he said to him: “Two men were in one city: one wealthy, and the other poor.
2 Mozwi azalaki na bameme mpe bangombe ebele,
The wealthy man had very many sheep and oxen.
3 kasi mobola azalaki na eloko te longola kaka mwa mwana meme moko ya mwasi oyo asombaki. Abokolaki yango mpe ekolaki epai na ye elongo na bana na ye. Mpate yango ezalaki kolia bilei na sani moko, komela mayi na kopo moko na nkolo na yango mpe kolala na maboko na ye. Ezalaki lokola mwana na ye ya mwasi.
But the poor man had nothing at all, except one little sheep, which he had bought and nourished. And she had grown up before him, together with his children, eating from his bread, and drinking from his cup, and sleeping in his bosom. And she was like a daughter to him.
4 Mokolo moko, mopaya moko ayaki epai ya mozwi, kasi mozwi aboyaki kozwa meme moko kati na bameme na ye to ngombe moko kati na bangombe na ye mpo na kolamba yango mpo na mopaya oyo ayaki epai na ye; azwaki kaka mwa mwana meme ya mwasi ya mobola mpe alambaki yango mpo na mopaya oyo ayaki epai na ye. »
But when a certain traveler had come to the wealthy man, neglecting to take from his own sheep and oxen, so that he might present a feast for that traveler, who had come to him, he took the sheep of the poor man, and he prepared a meal for the man who had come to him.”
5 Davidi asilikelaki mozwi makasi mpe alobaki na Natan: — Na Kombo na Yawe, moto oyo asali boye asengeli na kufa!
Then David’s indignation was enraged exceedingly against that man, and he said to Nathan: “As the Lord lives, the man who has done this is a son of death.
6 Asengeli kofuta mwa mwana meme yango mbala minei, pamba te azalaki na mawa te ya kosala likambo ya boye.
He shall restore the sheep fourfold, because he did this word, and he did not take pity.”
7 Natan alobaki na Davidi: — Moto yango ezali nde yo! Tala makambo oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: « Napakolaki yo mafuta mpo ete okoma mokonzi ya Isalaele mpe nakangolaki yo na maboko ya Saulo;
But Nathan said to David: “You are that man. Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: ‘I anointed you as king over Israel, and I rescued you from the hand of Saul.
8 nakabaki na maboko na yo ndako ya nkolo na yo, Saulo, mpe basi na ye; napesaki yo libota ya Isalaele mpe libota ya Yuda. Bongo soki nyonso wana ezalaki moke koleka, nalingaki kobakisela yo lisusu ebele koleka.
And I gave the house of your lord to you, and the wives of your lord into your bosom. And I gave the house of Israel and of Judah to you. And as if these things were small, I shall add much greater things to you.
9 Mpo na nini otioli Liloba na Yawe na kosala makambo oyo ezali mabe na miso na Ye? Obomisi Iri, moto ya Iti, na mopanga mpe ozwi mwasi na ye mpo ete akoma mwasi na yo. Obomisi ye na mopanga ya bato ya Amoni.
Therefore, why have you despised the word of the Lord, so that you did evil in my sight? You have struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword. And you have taken his wife as a wife for yourself. And you have put him to death with the sword of the sons of Ammon.
10 Mpo na yango, mopanga ekolongwa lisusu te na ndako na yo, pamba te otioli ngai mpe ozwi mwasi ya Iri, moto ya Iti, mpo ete akoma mwasi na yo.
For this reason, the sword shall not withdraw from your house, even perpetually, because you have despised me, and you have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite, so that she may be your wife.’
11 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Nakoyeisa pasi epai na yo wuta na ndako na yo moko; na miso na yo, nakokamata basi na yo mpe nakopesa bango na moko kati na baninga na yo, oyo akosangisa na bango nzoto na moyi makasi.
And so, thus says the Lord: ‘Behold, I will raise up over you an evil from your own house. And I will take your wives away before your eyes, and I will give them to your neighbor. And he will sleep with your wives in the sight of this sun.
12 Osalaki yango na nkuku, kasi ngai nakosala likambo oyo na moyi mpe na miso ya Isalaele mobimba. › »
For you acted secretly. But I will do this word in the sight of all of Israel, and in the sight of the sun.’”
13 Davidi alobaki na Natan: — Solo, nasalaki masumu epai na Yawe. Natan azongisaki: — Yawe alongoli masumu na yo; okokufa te.
And David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the Lord.” And Nathan said to David: “The Lord has also taken away your sin. You shall not die.
14 Kasi lokola na likambo oyo yo osali, opesi na banguna ya Yawe nzela ya kofinga Ye, mwana oyo bakobotela yo akokufa.
Yet truly, because you have given occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme, because of this word, the son who was born to you: dying he shall die.”
15 Sima na yango, Natan azongaki na ndako na ye. Yawe abetaki mwana oyo mwasi ya Iri abotelaki Davidi, mpe mwana yango akomaki kobela.
And Nathan returned to his own house. And the Lord struck the little one, whom the wife of Uriah had borne to David, and he was despaired of.
16 Davidi abondelaki Nzambe mpo na mwana, akilaki bilei, akotaki na ndako na ye mpe akomaki kolala na mabele babutu nyonso.
And David begged the Lord on behalf of the little one. And David fasted strictly, and entering alone, he lay upon the ground.
17 Bakambi ya ndako na ye bayaki kotelema pembeni na ye mpo na kotelemisa ye wuta na mabele, kasi aboyaki mpe andimaki te kolia bilei elongo na bango.
Then the elders of his house came, urging him to rise up from the ground. And he was not willing, nor would he eat a meal with them.
18 Na mokolo ya sambo, mwana akufaki. Basali ya Davidi babangaki koyebisa ye ete mwana akufi, pamba te bazalaki komilobela: « Wana mwana azalaki nanu na bomoi, tango tolobaki na Davidi, ayokaki biso te. Awa sik’oyo mwana akufi, tokoloba na ye ndenge nini? Soki toyebisi ye sik’oyo ete mwana akufi, akoki kosala likambo moko ya mabe! »
Then, on the seventh day, it happened that the infant died. And the servants of David were afraid to report to him that the little one had died. For they said: “Behold, when the child was still alive, we were speaking to him, but he would not listen to our voice. How much more will he afflict himself, if we tell him that the boy is dead?”
19 Davidi amonaki basali na ye koloba na se se kati na bango, mpe asosolaki ete mwana akufi. Atunaki: — Boni, mwana akufi? Bazongisaki: — Iyo, akufi.
But when David had seen his servants whispering, he realized that the infant had died. And he said to his servants, “Is the child dead?” And they responded to him, “He is dead.”
20 Bongo Davidi atelemaki wuta na mabele, amisukolaki nzoto, amipakolaki malasi, alataki bilamba mosusu, akotaki na Tempelo ya Yawe mpe agumbamaki mpo na kosambela. Sima, azongaki na ndako na ye, asengaki bilei mpe aliaki.
Therefore, David rose up from the ground. And he washed and anointed himself. And when he had changed his clothing, he entered the house of the Lord, and he worshiped. Then he went to his own house, and he asked them to place bread before him, and he ate.
21 Basali na ye batunaki: — Mpo na nini ozali kosala boye? Wana mwana azalaki na bomoi, ozalaki komilalisa nzala mpe ozalaki kolela; awa sik’oyo mwana akufi, otelemi mpe okomi kolia!
But his servants said to him: “What is this word that you have done? You fasted and were weeping, on behalf of the infant, while he was still alive. But when the boy was dead, you arose and ate bread.”
22 Azongisaki: — Solo, wana mwana azalaki nanu na bomoi, nazalaki kokila bilei mpe kolela, pamba te nazalaki komilobela: « Nani ayebi? Tango mosusu Yawe akosalela ngai ngolu mpe akotika mwana na bomoi! »
And he said: “While he was yet alive, I fasted and wept on behalf of the infant. For I said: Who knows if the Lord may perhaps give him to me, and let the infant live?
23 Kasi lokola sik’oyo akufi, mpo na nini nakila bilei? Boni, nakoki kozongisa ye lisusu na bomoi? Ngai nde nakokende epai na ye, kasi ye akozonga epai na ngai te.
But now that he is dead, why should I fast? Would I be able to bring him back anymore? Instead, I will go to him. Yet truly, he will not return to me.”
24 Bongo Davidi abondisaki mwasi na ye, Batisheba; akendeki epai na ye mpe asangisaki na ye nzoto. Batisheba abotelaki ye lisusu mwana mobali mpe apesaki ye kombo « Salomo. » Yawe alingaki ye
And David consoled his wife Bathsheba. And entering to her, he slept with her. And she bore a son, and he called his name Solomon, and the Lord loved him.
25 mpe atindaki maloba na nzela ya mosakoli Natan ete bapesa ye kombo « Yedidia, » pamba te Yawe alingaki ye.
And he sent, by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and he called his name, Beloved of the Lord, because the Lord loved him.
26 Joabi abundisaki engumba Raba ya bato ya Amoni mpe abotolaki mboka mokonzi.
And then Joab fought against Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, and he fought outside the royal city.
27 Joabi atindaki bantoma koloba na Davidi: « Nabundisi Raba mpe nabotoli eteni ya mabele epai wapi mayi ezali.
And Joab sent messengers to David, saying: “I have struggled against Rabbah, and so the City of Waters will soon be seized.
28 Sik’oyo, sangisa basoda oyo batikali, bozingela engumba Raba mpe bokamata yango; soki te nakokamata yango ngai moko, mpe kombo na ngai ekosakolama kuna. »
Now therefore, gather the remaining portion of the people together, and besiege the city and take it. Otherwise, when the city will have been laid waste by me, the victory will be ascribed to my name.”
29 Davidi asangisaki mampinga nyonso mpe akendeki na Raba, abundisaki mpe akamataki yango.
And so David gathered together all the people, and he set out against Rabbah. And after he had fought, he seized it.
30 Alongolaki motole oyo ezalaki na moto ya mokonzi na yango. Motole yango esalemaki na bakilo ya wolo koleka tuku misato mpe ezalaki na libanga ya talo na likolo na yango. Wuta na tango wana, ekomaki na moto ya Davidi. Akamataki bomengo ebele ya bitumba kati na engumba yango.
And he took the crown of their king from his head. The weight of it was a talent of gold, having the most precious gems. And it was placed upon the head of David. Moreover, he carried away the spoils of the city, which were very many.
31 Amemaki na bowumbu bato oyo bazalaki kuna, atiaki bango na misala oyo basalaka na si, na piki mpe na epasola; atiaki bango mpe na mosala ya kosala babiliki. Davidi asalaki ndenge wana na bavandi ya bingumba nyonso ya bato ya Amoni. Bongo azongaki na Yelusalemi elongo na mampinga na ye nyonso.
Also, bringing forth its people, he sawed them, and he drove over them with iron wagons, and he divided them with knives, and he dragged them through brick kilns. So he did to all the citizens of the sons of Ammon. And David returned, with the entire army, to Jerusalem.
