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 YHWH sends Nathan to David, and he comes to him, and says to him: “Two men have been in one city, one rich and one poor.
2 Ilay manan-karena nanana ondry aman’ osy sy omby betsaka;
The rich has very many flocks and herds,
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 one has nothing, except one little ewe-lamb which he has bought and keeps alive. And it grows up together with him and with his sons. It eats of his morsel, and it drinks from his cup, and it lies in his bosom, and it is as 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.
And a traveler comes to the rich man, and he spares to take from his own flock, and from his own herd, to prepare for the traveling [man] who has come to him; and he takes the ewe-lamb of the poor man and prepares it for the man who has 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 burns against the man exceedingly, and he says to Nathan, “YHWH lives, surely the man who is doing this [is] a son of death,
6 ary ilay zanak’ ondry vavy tsy maintsy honerany efatra heny noho ny nanaovany izany zavatra izany sy noho ny tsy namindrany fo.
and [for] the ewe-lamb he repays fourfold, because that he has done this thing, and because that he had no pity.”
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;
And Nathan says to David, “You [are] the man! Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: I anointed you for king over Israel, and I delivered you 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 give to you the house of your lord, and the wives of your lord, into your bosom, and I give the house of Israel and Judah to you; and if [that is] too little, then I add such and such [things] to you.
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 have you despised the word of YHWH, to do evil in His eyes? You have struck Uriah the Hittite by the sword, and you have taken his wife for a wife for yourself, and you have slain him by the sword of the sons 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 does not turn aside from your house for all time, because you have despised Me, and take the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be for a wife for yourself;
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 said YHWH: Behold, I am raising up calamity against you, out of your [own] house, and have taken your wives before your eyes, and given [them] to your neighbor, and he has lain with your wives before the eyes 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 you have done [it] in secret, and I 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.
And David says to Nathan, “I have sinned against YHWH.” And Nathan says to David, “Also—YHWH has caused your sin to pass away; you do not die;
14 Nefa noho ny nampitenenanao ratsy ny fahavalon’ i Jehovah amin’ izany zavatra izany dia ho faty tokoa ny zaza izay haterakao.
only, because you have caused the enemies of YHWH to greatly despise by this thing, also—the son who is born to you surely dies.”
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 goes to his house, and YHWH strikes the boy, whom the wife of Uriah has borne to David, and it is incurable;
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 seeks God for the youth, and David keeps a fast, and has gone in and lodged, and lain on 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] elderly of his house rise against him, to raise him up from the earth, and he has not been willing, nor has he eaten 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 comes to pass on the seventh day, that the boy dies, and the servants of David fear to declare to him that the boy is dead, for they said, “Behold, in the boy being alive we spoke to him, and he did not listen to our voice; and how do we say to him, The boy is dead? Then he has done evil.”
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.
And David sees that his servants are whispering, and David understands that the boy is dead, and David says to his servants, “Is the boy dead?” And they say, “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.
And David rises from the earth, and bathes and anoints [himself], and changes his raiment, and comes into the house of YHWH, and bows himself, and comes to his house, and asks and they place bread for him, and he eats.
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 say to him, “What [is] this thing you have done? Because of the living boy you have fasted and you weep, and when the boy is dead you have risen 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 says, “While the boy is alive I have fasted and I weep, for I said, Who knows [if] YHWH pities me and the boy has lived?
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.
And now, he has died, why [is] this—I fast? Am I able to bring him back again? I am going to him, and he does 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 comforts his wife Bathsheba, and goes in to her, and lies with her, and she bears a son, and he calls his name Solomon; and YHWH has loved him,
25 dia naniraka an’ i Natana mpaminany ka nanao ny anaran’ ny zaza hoe Jedidia noho ny amin’ i Jehovah.
and sends by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and calls his name Jedidiah, because of YHWH.
26 Ary Joaba namely an’ i Raban’ ny taranak’ i Amona ka nahafaka ny tanànan’ ny mpanjaka.
And Joab fights against Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, and captures 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 sends messengers to David and says, “I have fought against Rabbah—I have also captured the city of waters;
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, and encamp against the city, and capture it, lest I capture the city, and my name has been called on it.”
29 Ary Davida namory ny vahoaka rehetra, dia nankany Raba ka namely azy ary nahafaka azy.
And David gathers all the people, and goes to Rabbah, and fights against it, and captures 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 takes the crown of their king from off his head, and its weight [is] a talent of gold, and precious stones, and it is on the head of David; and he has brought out the spoil of the city—very much;
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 he has brought out the people who [are] in it, and sets [them] to the saw, and to cutting instruments of iron, and to axes of iron, and has caused them to pass over into the brick-kiln; and so he does to all the cities of the sons of Ammon; and David turns back, and all the people, to Jerusalem.
