2 Samoela 12
1 Ary Jehovah naniraka an’ i Natana hankao amin’ i Davida. Ary dia tonga tao aminy izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Nisy olona roa lahy tao an-tanàna anankiray, ny iray manan-karena, ary ny iray malahelo.
Then the LORD sent Nathan to David, and when he arrived, he said, “There were two men in a certain city, one rich and the other poor.
2 Ilay manan-karena nanana ondry aman’ osy sy omby betsaka;
The rich man had a great number of sheep and cattle,
3 fa ilay malahelo kosa tsy nanana na inona na inona afa-tsy zanak’ ondry vavy kely iray monja izay novidiny; ary nokolokoloiny tsara io ka nitombo teo aminy sy ny zanany; fa tamin’ ny hanin-kelin-dralehilahy no nihinanany, ary tamin’ ny kapoakany no nisotroany, sady notrotroiny teo an-tratrany izy ka nataony toy ny zananivavy.
but the poor man had nothing except one small ewe lamb that he had bought. He raised it, and it grew up with him and his children. It shared his food and drank from his cup; it slept in his arms and was like a daughter to him.
4 Ary nisy vahiny tonga tao amin’ ilay manan-karena, nefa ny ondriny aman’ osiny sy ny ombiny notsitsiny ka tsy nangalany hatao nahandro ho an’ ilay vahiny tonga tao aminy; fa ny zanak’ ondry vavin’ ilay malahelo kosa no nalainy, ka dia nataony nahandro ho an’ ilay olona tonga tao aminy.
Now a traveler came to the rich man, who refrained from taking one of his own sheep or cattle to prepare for the traveler who had come to him. Instead, he took the poor man’s lamb and prepared it for his guest.”
5 Dia nirehitra mafy ny fahatezeran’ i Davida tamin’ izany olona izany, ka hoy izy tamin’ i Natana: Raha velona koa Jehovah, tsy maintsy hatao maty izay olona nanao izany;
David burned with anger against the man and said to Nathan: “As surely as the LORD lives, the man who did this deserves to die!
6 ary ilay zanak’ ondry vavy tsy maintsy honerany efatra heny noho ny nanaovany izany zavatra izany sy noho ny tsy namindrany fo.
Because he has done this thing and has shown no pity, he must pay for the lamb four times over.”
7 Dia hoy Natana tamin’ i Davida: Hianao no izy. Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Izaho nanosotra anao ho mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely ka namonjy anao ho afaka tamin’ ny tànan’ i Saoly;
Then Nathan said to David, “You are that man! This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul.
8 ary nomeko anao ny tranon’ ny tomponao sy ny vadin’ ny tomponao ho andefimandrinao, ary nomeko anao koa ny firenen’ Isiraely sy Joda; ary raha mbola tsy ampy ho anao izany, dia ho nomeko bebe kokoa ianao;
I gave your master’s house to you and your master’s wives into your arms. I gave you the house of Israel and Judah, and if that was not enough, I would have given you even more.
9 koa nahoana ianao no nanamavo ny tenin’ i Jehovah ka nanao izay ratsy eo imasony? Oria Hetita nasianao ny sabatra, ary ny vadiny nalainao ho vadinao. Eny, efa novonoinao tamin’ ny sabatry ny taranak’ i Amona izy.
Why then have you despised the command of the LORD by doing evil in His sight? You put Uriah the Hittite to the sword and took his wife as your own, for you have slain him with the sword of the Ammonites.
10 Koa noho izany dia tsy hiala amin’ ny taranakao mandrakizay kosa ny sabatra, satria nanamavo Ahy ianao ka naka ny vadin’ i Oria Hetita ho vadinao.
Now, therefore, the sword will never depart from your house, because you have despised Me and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your own.’
11 Izao koa no lazain’ i Jehovah: Indro, Izaho efa hahatonga loza aminao avy ao amin’ ny ankohonanao ihany; ary hesoriko eo imasonao ny vadinao ka homeko ny namanao; ary izy handry amin’ ny vadinao amin’ izao antoandrobenanahary izao.
This is what the LORD says: ‘I will raise up adversity against you from your own house. Before your very eyes I will take your wives and give them to another, and he will lie with them in broad daylight.
12 Fa ianao nanao izany tao amin’ ny mangingina, ary Izaho kosa haneho izany zavatra izany eo anatrehan’ ny Isiraely rehetra sy amin’ izao antoandrobenanahary izao.
You have acted in secret, but I will do this thing in broad daylight before all Israel.’”
13 Dia hoy Davida tamin’ i Natana: Efa nanota tamin’ i Jehovah aho. Ary hoy kosa atana tamin’ i Davida: Jehovah efa nanaisotra ny helokao, ka tsy ho faty ianao.
Then David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the LORD.” “The LORD has taken away your sin,” Nathan replied. “You will not die.
14 Nefa noho ny nampitenenanao ratsy ny fahavalon’ i Jehovah amin’ izany zavatra izany dia ho faty tokoa ny zaza izay haterakao.
Nevertheless, because by this deed you have shown utter contempt for the word of the LORD, the son born to you will surely die.”
15 Ary Natana nody tany an-tranony. Ary Jehovah namely ny zaza izay nateraky ny vadin’ i Oria tamin’ i Davida, ka dia narary be ny zaza.
After Nathan had gone home, the LORD struck the child that Uriah’s wife had borne to David, and he became ill.
16 Ary nifona tamin’ Andriamanitra ho an’ ny zaza Davida, dia nifady hanina sady niditra ka nandry tamin’ ny tany mandritra ny alina.
David pleaded with God for the boy. He fasted and went into his house and spent the night lying in sackcloth on the ground.
17 Ary ny loholona tao an-tranony nitsangana nankao aminy hampiarina azy amin’ ny tany; nefa tsy nety izy sady tsy nety niara-nihinan-kanina taminy.
The elders of his household stood beside him to help him up from the ground, but he was unwilling and would not eat anything with them.
18 Ary nony nandray hafitoana, dia maty ny zaza; ary ny mpanompon’ i Davida natahotra hilaza ny nahafatesan’ ny zaza aminy, fa hoy ireo: Indro, fony mbola velona aza ny zaza, raha niteny taminy isika, dia tsy nohenoiny ny feontsika, koa hataontsika ahoana no filaza aminy ny fahafatesan’ ny zaza? fandrao hanimba tena izy.
On the seventh day the child died. But David’s servants were afraid to tell him that the child was dead, for they said, “Look, while the child was alive, we spoke to him, and he would not listen to us. So how can we tell him the child is dead? He may even harm himself.”
19 Ary nony hitan’ i Davida fa nitakoritsika ny mpanompony, dia fantany fa maty ny zaza; ka hoy izy tamin’ ny mpanompony: Maty va ny zaza? Ary hoy ireo: Maty.
When David saw that his servants were whispering to one another, he perceived that the child was dead. So he asked his servants, “Is the child dead?” “He is dead,” they replied.
20 Dia niarina tsy nandry tamin’ ny tany intsony Davida ary nandro sy nihosotra diloilo ary nanova ny fitafiany, dia nankao amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah ka niankohoka; ary dia nody tany an-tranony izy ka niantso mba hisy handroso hanina eo anoloany, dia nihinana izy.
Then David got up from the ground, washed and anointed himself, changed his clothes, and went into the house of the LORD and worshiped. Then he went to his own house, and at his request they set food before him, and he ate.
21 Ary hoy ny mpanompony taminy: Ahoana izao zavatra nataonao izao? Fa fony mbola velona ny zaza, dia nifady hanina sy nitomany ianao, fa rehefa maty ny zaza, dia niarina sy nihinan-kanina kosa.
“What is this you have done?” his servants asked. “While the child was alive, you fasted and wept, but when he died, you got up and ate.”
22 Ary hoy izy: Fony mbola velona ny zaza, dia nifady hanina sy nitomany tokoa aho: fa hoy izaho: Iza moa no mahalala na mba hamindra fo amiko Jehovah ka hahavelona ny zaza, na tsia?
David answered, “While the child was alive, I fasted and wept, for I said, ‘Who knows? The LORD may be gracious to me and let him live.’
23 Kanjo maty izy izao, ka nahoana aho no hifady hanina intsony? Mahay mampiverina azy va aho? Izaho no hankany aminy, fa izy tsy hiverina etỳ amiko intsony.
But now that he is dead, why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him, but he will not return to me.”
24 Ary Davida nampionona an’ i Batseba vadiny, dia niditra tao aminy ka nandry taminy; ary niteraka zazalahy izy, ka ny anarany nataony hoe Solomona. Ary Jehovah tia azy,
Then David comforted his wife Bathsheba, and he went to her and lay with her. So she gave birth to a son, and they named him Solomon. Now the LORD loved the child
25 dia naniraka an’ i Natana mpaminany ka nanao ny anaran’ ny zaza hoe Jedidia noho ny amin’ i Jehovah.
and sent word through Nathan the prophet to name him Jedidiah because the LORD loved him.
26 Ary Joaba namely an’ i Raban’ ny taranak’ i Amona ka nahafaka ny tanànan’ ny mpanjaka.
Meanwhile, Joab fought against Rabbah of the Ammonites and captured the royal fortress.
27 Ary Joaba naniraka olona tany amin’ i Davida nanao hoe: Namely an’ i Raba aho ka nahafaka ny tanàna misy rano.
Then Joab sent messengers to David to say, “I have fought against Rabbah and have captured the water supply of the city.
28 Koa vorio ny olona sisa izao, ka mitobia hamely ny tanàna, ary aoka ho afakao izy; fandrao izaho no hahafaka ny tanàna, ka dia hotononina araka ny anarako izy.
Now, therefore, assemble the rest of the troops, lay siege to the city, and capture it. Otherwise I will capture the city, and it will be named after me.”
29 Ary Davida namory ny vahoaka rehetra, dia nankany Raba ka namely azy ary nahafaka azy.
So David assembled all the troops and went to Rabbah; and he fought against it and captured it.
30 Dia nesoriny ny satro-boninahitr’ ilay mpanjaka teny an-dohany talenta volamena iray no lanjany, sady nisy vato soa, ary dia nisatrohan’ i Davida. Ary navoakany tao an-tanàna ny babo azo, ka be dia be ireny.
Then he took the crown from the head of their king. It weighed a talent of gold and was set with precious stones, and it was placed on David’s head. And David took a great amount of plunder from the city.
31 Ary dia navoakany koa ny olona teo ka nataony teo amin’ ny tsofa sy ny fangao-by lehibe ary ny famaky vy, ary nataony tao anatin’ ny fandoroam-biriky; toy izany no nataony tamin’ ny tanànan’ ny taranak’ i Amona rehetra. Ary Davida sy ny vahoaka rehetra dia niverina nankany Jerosalema.
David brought out the people who were there and put them to work with saws, iron picks, and axes, and he made them work at the brick kilns. He did the same to all the Ammonite cities. Then David and all his troops returned to Jerusalem.
