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.
And the Lord sent Nathan unto David, and he came unto him and said to him, Two men were once in one city, the one rich and the other poor.
2 Ilay manan-karena nanana ondry aman’ osy sy omby betsaka;
The rich man had flocks and herds, in great abundance.
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, save one little ewe, which he had bought; and he nourished it, and it grew up with him and with his children together; of his bread it used to eat, and out of his cup it used to drink, and in his bosom it used to lie, and it was to him as a daughter.
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.
And there came a traveler unto the rich man; and he felt compunction to take from his own flocks and from his own herds to dress for the wayfarer that was come to him; but he took the ewe of the poor man, and dressed it for the man that was come to him.
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;
And the anger of David was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, As the Lord liveth, surely the man that hath done this deserveth 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.
And the ewe he shall pay fourfold, for punishment that he hath done this thing, and because he had no compassion.
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 said Nathan to David, Thou art the man! Thus hath said the Lord, the God of Israel, It is I who anointed thee as king over Israel, and it is I who delivered thee out of 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;
And I gave unto thee the house of thy master, and [put] the wives of thy master into thy bosom, and gave unto thee the house of Israel and Judah: and if this be too little, I could bestow on thee yet many more like these things.
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.
Wherefore hast thou despised the word of the Lord to do what is evil in his eyes? Uriyah the Hittite hast thou smitten with the sword, and his wife hast thou taken unto thee for wife; but him hast thou slain with the sword of the children of 'Ammon.
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.
And now, the sword shall not depart from thy house for ever; for the reason that thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriyah the Hittite to be thy wife.
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.
Thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will raise up against thee evil out of thy own house, and I will take away thy wives before thy eyes, and I will give them unto thy neighbor; and he shall lie with thy wives before the face of this sun.
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.
For thou hast done it in secret; but I will surely do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.
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 said David unto Nathan, I have sinned against the Lord. And Nathan said to David, Also the Lord hath caused thy sin to pass away: thou shalt 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 thou hast given great cause to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme through this thing, the child also that hath been born unto thee shall 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.
And Nathan went to his house; and the Lord struck the child that Uriyah's wife had born unto David, that it became very sick.
16 Ary nifona tamin’ Andriamanitra ho an’ ny zaza Davida, dia nifady hanina sady niditra ka nandry tamin’ ny tany mandritra ny alina.
And David besought God in behalf of the lad; and David kept a fast, and came home, and lay over night upon the earth.
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.
And the elders of the house arose about him, to raise him up from the earth; but he would not, and he did not partake of any bread 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.
And it came to pass on the seventh day that the child died; and the servants of David were afraid to tell him, that the child was dead; for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spoke to him, and he would not hearken to our voice: how then shall we say to him, The child is dead! he might do [himself] a hurt.
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.
But when David saw that his servants were whispering to each other, David understood that the child was dead; wherefore David said unto his servants, Is the child dead? and they said, he is dead.
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.
David then rose up from the earth, and washed and anointed himself, and changed his garments, and went into the house of the Lord and prostrated himself; and then he came to his own house, and asked that they should 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.
And his servants then said unto him, What is this thing which thou hast done? On account of the child when living thou didst fast and weep; but as soon as the child was dead thou didst arise and eat bread!
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?
And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept; because I said, Who knoweth, but that the Lord will be gracious to me, that the child may 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 he is dead, wherefore should I fast then? can I restore him again? I am going 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,
And David comforted Bath-sheba' his wife, and he went in unto her, and lay with her; and she bore a son, and called his name Solomon; and the Lord loved him.
25 dia naniraka an’ i Natana mpaminany ka nanao ny anaran’ ny zaza hoe Jedidia noho ny amin’ i Jehovah.
And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and called his name, Yedideyah in behalf of the Lord.
26 Ary Joaba namely an’ i Raban’ ny taranak’ i Amona ka nahafaka ny tanànan’ ny mpanjaka.
And Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of 'Ammon, and captured the royal city.
27 Ary Joaba naniraka olona tany amin’ i Davida nanao hoe: Namely an’ i Raba aho ka nahafaka ny tanàna misy rano.
And Joab sent messengers to David; and said, I have fought against Rabbah, and have also captured the water-town.
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.
And now gather the rest of the people together, and encamp against the city, and capture it: lest I capture the city myself, and it be called by my name.
29 Ary Davida namory ny vahoaka rehetra, dia nankany Raba ka namely azy ary nahafaka azy.
And David gathered all the people together and went to Rabbah, and 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.
And he took the crown of Malkam from off his head, and its weight was a talent of gold, and [on it was] a precious stone, and it was set on the head of David; and the booty of the city he brought out in great abundance.
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.
And the people that were therein he brought forward, and put them under saws, and under iron threshing-wagons, and under axes of iron, and made them pass through brick-kilns; and thus did he unto all the cities of the children of 'Ammon: and David returned with them with all the people unto Jerusalem.
