2 Samwiri 12
1 Awo Mukama n’atuma Nasani eri Dawudi amugambe nti, “Waaliwo abasajja babiri mu kibuga ekimu, omu nga mugagga, omulala nga mwavu.
INkosi yasithuma uNathani kuDavida. Wasefika kuye wathi kuye: Kwakukhona amadoda amabili emzini owodwa; enye inothile, lenye ingumyanga.
2 Omugagga yalina ebisibo by’endiga bingi n’ente nnyingi;
Enothileyo yayilezimvu lenkomo ezinengi kakhulu.
3 naye omwavu nga taliiko bw’ali wabula yalina omwana gw’endiga gumu nga muluusi gwe yagula. N’alabirira omwana gw’endiga ogwo, ne gukula n’abaana be, ne gugabananga ku mmere ye, ne gunyweranga wamu naye, era n’aguleranga. Gwali ng’omwana we owoobuwala gy’ali.
Kodwa engumyanga yayingelalutho ngaphandle kwewundlu elincinyane elilodwa elisikazi eyayilithengile, yalondla; lakhula layo, njalo labantwana bayo ndawonye. Ladla okocezu lwayo, lanatha okwenkezo yayo; lalala esifubeni sayo, lalinjengendodakazi kiyo.
4 “Lwali lumu ne wajja omutambuze eri nnaggagga, naye nnaggagga oyo n’atayagala kuddira emu ku ndiga ze oba nte ze okuteekerateekera omutambuze oyo ekyokulya. Kyeyava addira omwana gw’endiga guli ogw’omwavu n’aguteekerateekera omugenyi we.”
Kwasekufika isihambi endodeni enothileyo; yasiyekela ukuthatha ezimvini zayo lenkomeni zayo ukulungisela isihambi esasifike kiyo, kodwa yathatha iwundlu elisikazi lendoda engumyanga, yalilungisela umuntu owayefike kiyo.
5 Awo Dawudi n’asunguwalira nnyo omusajja nnaggagga, n’ayogera nti, “Mukama nga bw’ali omulamu, omusajja akoze ekintu bwe kityo ateekwa
Ulaka lukaDavida lwaseluvuthela lowomuntu kakhulu, wathi kuNathani: Kuphila kukaJehova, isibili umuntu owenze lokho uyindodana yokufa.
6 okusasula emirundi ena olw’ekikolwa ekyo, kubanga talina kusaasira, era asaanira attibwe.”
Njalo uzalibuyisela iwundlu elisikazi liphindwe kane, ngenxa yokuthi enze le into langenxa yokuthi engabanga lozwelo.
7 Nasani n’agamba Dawudi nti, “Omusajja oyo ye ggwe. Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, ‘Nakufukako amafuta okuba kabaka wa Isirayiri, ne nkulokola mu mukono gwa Sawulo,
UNathani wasesithi kuDavida: Nguwe lowomuntu! Itsho njalo iNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli: Ngakugcoba waba yinkosi phezu kukaIsrayeli, ngakukhulula esandleni sikaSawuli.
8 ne nkuwa ennyumba ya mukama wo, ne nkukwasa ne bakyala ba mukama wo, ne nkuwa ennyumba ya Isirayiri ne Yuda; ebyo singa byali tebimala nandikwongedde bingi n’okusingawo.
Ngakunika indlu yenkosi yakho labafazi benkosi yakho esifubeni sakho, ngakunika indlu kaIsrayeli lekaJuda; uba-ke bekukuncinyane, bengingakwengezelela okunje lokunje.
9 Kiki ekikunyoomezza ekigambo kya Mukama, n’okukola n’okola ekibi bwe kityo mu maaso ge? Watta Uliya Omukiiti n’ekitala, n’otwala mukyala we n’omufuula owuwo.’
Udeleleleni ilizwi leNkosi ukuthi wenze okubi emehlweni ayo? U-Uriya umHethi umtshayile ngenkemba, lomkakhe wamthatha waba ngumkakho, laye umbulele ngenkemba yabantwana bakoAmoni.
10 Wamutta n’ekitala eky’Abaana ba Amoni. Noolwekyo ekitala tekiriva mu nnyumba yo, kubanga onnyoomye n’otwala mukyala wa Uliya Omukiiti n’omufuula owuwo.
Ngakho-ke inkemba kayiyikusuka endlini yakho kuze kube nininini, ngenxa yokuthi ungidelele, wathatha umkaUriya umHethi ukuthi abe ngumkakho.
11 “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, ‘Laba, ndireeta ekikolimo mu nnyumba yo, ne nzirira bakyala bo ng’olaba ne mbawa muliraanwa wo, ne yeebaka nabo emisana.
Itsho njalo iNkosi: Khangela, ngizakuvusela okubi kuvela endlini yakho, ngithathe omkakho phambi kwamehlo akho, ngibanike umakhelwane wakho, alale labomkakho phambi kwalelilanga.
12 Wakikola mu kyama, naye nze ndikikola mu maaso ga Isirayiri yenna, emisana.’”
Ngoba wena wakwenza ensitha, kodwa mina ngizakwenza le into phambi kukaIsrayeli wonke laphambi kwelanga.
13 Awo Dawudi n’agamba Nasani nti, “Nnyonoonye Mukama.” Nasani n’addamu nti, “Kale, Mukama aggyeewo ekyonoono kyo era toofe.
UDavida wasesithi kuNathani: Ngonile eNkosini. UNathani wasesithi kuDavida: LeNkosi isusile isono sakho; kawuyikufa.
14 Naye olw’ekikolwa ekyo, oleetedde abalabe ba Mukama okumunyooma, omwana anaakuzaalirwa kyanaava afa.”
Loba kunjalo, ngoba wenze izitha zeNkosi zidelele lokudelela ngalindaba, laye umntwana ozalelwe wena uzakufa lokufa.
15 Nasani bwe yaddayo eka, Mukama n’alwaza nnyo omwana muka wa Uliya gwe yazaala.
UNathani wasesiya endlini yakhe. INkosi yasimtshaya umntwana umkaUriya amzalela uDavida, wagula kakhulu.
16 Dawudi ne yeegayirira Katonda ku lw’omwana, n’asiiba, n’agenda mu nnyumba ye n’amala ekiro kyonna nga yeebase wansi.
Ngakho uDavida wamncengela umntwana kuNkulunkulu; uDavida wasezila izilo lokudla, wangena, walala emhlabathini ubusuku bonke.
17 Abakadde ab’ennyumba ye ne bagendanga gy’ali, okumuwaliriza asituke, alye ne ku mmere, naye n’agaana.
Abadala bendlu yakhe basebesukuma baya kuye ukumvusa emhlabathini; kodwa kafunanga, futhi kadlanga ukudla labo.
18 Ku lunaku olw’omusanvu omwana n’afa. Naye abaddu ba Dawudi ne batya okumutegeeza nti omwana afudde, nga bagamba, nti, “Omwana bwe yali omulamu twagezaako okwogera naye, n’atatuwuliriza, olwo binaabeera bitya bwe tunaamubuulira nti omwana afudde? Ayinza okutabukira ddala.”
Kwasekusithi ngosuku lwesikhombisa umntwana wafa. Izinceku zikaDavida zasezisesaba ukumtshela ukuthi umntwana ufile; ngoba zathi: Khangela, umntwana esaphila sakhuluma laye, kalalelanga ilizwi lethu; pho, singamtshela njani ukuthi umntwana ufile? Angazilimaza.
19 Naye Dawudi n’alaba abaddu be nga boogera obwama, n’ategeera nti omwana afudde. N’ababuuza nti, “Omwana afudde?” Ne baddamu nti, “Afudde.”
Kodwa uDavida ebona ukuthi inceku zakhe ziyanyenyezelana, uDavida waqedisisa ukuthi umntwana usefile; ngakho uDavida wathi ezincekwini zakhe: Umntwana usefile yini? Zasezisithi: Usefile.
20 Awo Dawudi n’ava wansi, n’anaabako, ne yeerongoosa, n’akyusa ebyambalo bye, n’alaga mu nnyumba ya Mukama n’asinza. Oluvannyuma n’addayo mu nnyumba ye, n’asaba emmere, n’alya.
UDavida wasevuka emhlabathini, wageza, wagcoba, wantshintsha izigqoko zakhe, wangena endlini yeNkosi, wakhonza; wasesiya endlini yakhe, wacela, babeka ukudla phambi kwakhe, wadla.
21 Abaddu be ne bamubuuza nti, “Kiki ekyo ky’okola? Omwana bwe yali omulamu, wasiiba n’okaaba, naye kati afudde, ogolokose, olya!”
Inceku zakhe zasezisithi kuye: Iyini le into oyenzileyo? Ngenxa yomntwana ophilayo uzile ukudla wakhala inyembezi; kodwa lapho umntwana esefile, uvukile wadla isinkwa.
22 N’addamu nti, “Omwana we yabeerera omulamu, n’asiiba ne nkaaba, nga ndowooza nti, ‘Ani amanyi, Mukama ayinza okunsaasira, omwana n’aba mulamu?’
Wasesithi: Umntwana esaphila, ngizile ukudla, ngakhala inyembezi, ngoba ngathi: Ngubani owaziyo iNkosi ingangihawukela ukuthi umntwana aphile.
23 Naye kaakano afudde, kiki ekinsiibya? Nkyayinza okumukomyawo? Nze ndigenda gy’ali, naye ye talikomawo gye ndi.”
Kodwa khathesi usefile, ngizazilelani? Ngilakho ukumbuyisa yini futhi? Ngizakuya kuye, kodwa yena kayikubuyela kimi.
24 Awo Dawudi n’akubagiza mukyala we Basuseba, ne yeetaba naye, n’aba olubuto, n’azaala omwana wabulenzi, ne bamutuuma Sulemaani, Mukama n’amwagala,
UDavida wasemduduza uBathisheba umkakhe, wangena kuye, walala laye; wazala indodana, wabiza ibizo layo wathi nguSolomoni. UJehova wasemthanda.
25 era olw’okwagala okwo, Mukama kyeyava atuma Nasani nnabbi n’amutuuma Yedidiya, amakulu nti ayagalibwa Mukama.
Wasethuma ngesandla sikaNathani umprofethi, wabiza ibizo layo wathi nguJedidiya, ngenxa kaJehova.
26 Mu biro ebyo Yowaabu n’alwana n’abaana ba Amoni, n’awamba Labba ekibuga kyabwe ekikulu.
UJowabi walwa-ke leRaba eyabantwana bakoAmoni, wathumba umuzi wobukhosi.
27 Yowaabu n’atumira Dawudi nti, “Nnumbye Labba, era n’amazzi gaabwe ngasazeeko.
UJowabi wasethuma izithunywa kuDavida wathi: Ngilwe leRaba, njalo ngathumba umuzi wamanzi.
28 Kaakano kuŋŋaanya eggye lyonna, otabaale ekibuga ekikulu, okiwambe, nga sinnaba kukitwala, ne kituumibwa erinnya lyange.”
Ngakho-ke buthanisa abantu abaseleyo, umise inkamba maqondana lomuzi, uwuthumbe, hlezi mina ngiwuthumbe umuzi, lebizo lami libizwe phezu kwawo.
29 Awo Dawudi n’akuŋŋaanya eggye lyonna n’ayolekera Labba, n’akirumba era n’akiwamba.
UDavida wasebuthanisa bonke abantu, waya eRaba, walwa layo, wayithumba.
30 N’addira engule eyali eya kabaka waabwe, obuzito bwayo kilo asatu mu nnya eza zaabu, nga mu yo baateekamu amayinja ag’omuwendo, n’agyetikkira ku mutwe gwe. N’atwala n’omunyago mungi ddala okuva mu kibuga.
Wasethatha umqhele wenkosi ekhanda lakhe, osisindo sawo sasilithalenta legolide lelitshe eliligugu, waba sekhanda likaDavida. Wasekhipha impango yomuzi enengi kakhulu.
31 N’aggya abantu abaali mu kibuga, n’abatwala okuba abapakasi; ne bakozesanga emisomeeno, n’ensuuluulu, n’embazzi, n’abalala ne babumbanga amatoffaali. Mu ngeri y’emu n’akozesanga abantu ab’ebibuga byonna eby’abaana ba Amoni. Oluvannyuma Dawudi n’eggye lye lyonna, ne baddayo e Yerusaalemi.
Wakhupha labantu ababephakathi kwawo, wababeka emasaheni, lezikhalini ezicijileyo zensimbi, lemahlokeni ensimbi, wabadlulisa emahondweni ezitina; wenza njalo kuyo yonke imizi yabantwana bakoAmoni. UDavida labo bonke abantu basebebuyela eJerusalema.
