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.
So the LORD sent Nathan to David. And he came to him, and said to him, "Tell me how you judge this case. There were two men in a certain city, the one rich and the other poor.
2 Mozwi azalaki na bameme mpe bangombe ebele,
The rich man had very many flocks and herds,
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, except one little ewe lamb, which he had acquired. And he raised it and it grew up alongside him and his children. It used to eat of his morsel and drink from his cup and sleep in his arms, and it 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. »
Now a traveler came to the rich man, but he was unwilling to take from his own flock or his own herd to prepare for the traveler who had come to him, but took the poor man's lamb and prepared it 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 became very angry with that man, and he said to Nathan, "As the LORD lives, the man who has done this deserves death.
6 Asengeli kofuta mwa mwana meme yango mbala minei, pamba te azalaki na mawa te ya kosala likambo ya boye.
He must restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no 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;
Then Nathan said to David, "You are the man. This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: 'I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you out of 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.
I gave you your master's house, and your master's wives into your care, and gave you the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that would have been too little, I would have added to you many more such things.
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.
Why have you despised the LORD, to do that which is evil in his sight? You have struck Uriah the Hethite with the sword, and have taken his wife to be your wife, and have slain him with the sword of the people 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.
Now therefore the sword will never depart from your house, because you have despised me, and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hethite to 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.
"This is what the LORD says: 'Look, I will raise up evil against you out of your own house; and I will take your wives before your eyes, and give them to your neighbor, and he will lie 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 did it secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.'"
13 Davidi alobaki na Natan: — Solo, nasalaki masumu epai na Yawe. Natan azongisaki: — Yawe alongoli masumu na yo; okokufa te.
David said to Nathan, "I have sinned against the LORD." Nathan said to David, "The LORD also has put away your sin. You will not die.
14 Kasi lokola na likambo oyo yo osali, opesi na banguna ya Yawe nzela ya kofinga Ye, mwana oyo bakobotela yo akokufa.
However, because by this deed you have shown utter contempt for the LORD, the child also who is born to you shall surely 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.
Then Nathan went to his home. And God struck the child that Uriah's wife bore to David, and it was very sick.
16 Davidi abondelaki Nzambe mpo na mwana, akilaki bilei, akotaki na ndako na ye mpe akomaki kolala na mabele babutu nyonso.
Then David sought from God on behalf of the child. And David fasted, and went in and lay all night on 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.
And the elders of his house approached him to lift him up from the ground, but he was unwilling, and he would not eat food 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! »
It happened on the seventh day, that the child died. The servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead; for they said, "Look, while the child was yet alive, we spoke to him, and he did not listen to our voice. How will he then harm himself, if we tell him that the child 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 noticed that his servants were whispering together, David perceived that the child was dead; and David said to his servants, "Is the child dead?" They said, "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.
Then David arose from the ground, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his clothing; and he came into the house of the LORD, and worshiped. Then he went to his own house, and he asked for bread to eat. And they set 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!
Then his servants said to him, "What is this that you have done? You fasted and wept and kept vigil for the child while he was alive; but when the child was dead, you rose up 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! »
He said, "While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept; for I said, 'Who knows whether the LORD will not be gracious to me, that the child may 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 he is dead, why should I fast? Can I bring him back? I shall go to him, but 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
David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in to her, and lay with her. She bore a son, and he called his name Solomon. 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 named him Jedidiah, for the LORD's sake.
26 Joabi abundisaki engumba Raba ya bato ya Amoni mpe abotolaki mboka mokonzi.
Now Joab fought against Rabbah of the people of Ammon, and took the royal city.
27 Joabi atindaki bantoma koloba na Davidi: « Nabundisi Raba mpe nabotoli eteni ya mabele epai wapi mayi ezali.
Joab sent messengers to David, and said, "I have fought against Rabbah, and have also taken the water supply of the city.
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 rest of the people together, and besiege the city and capture it yourself, or I will capture the city, and it will be named after me."
29 Davidi asangisaki mampinga nyonso mpe akendeki na Raba, abundisaki mpe akamataki yango.
David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took 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.
He took the crown of their king from off his head; and its weight was a talent of gold, and in it were precious stones; and it was set on David's head. He brought out the spoil of the city, a very great amount.
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.
He brought out the people who were in it, and put them to work with saws, and iron picks, and iron axes, and to labor at the brick kiln. And he did the same to all the cities of the people of Ammon. David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
