2 Samoela 12
1 Aa le nirahe’ Iehovà amy Davide t’i Natane. Le nomb’ ama’e mb’eo nanao ty hoe: Teo t’indaty roe androva raike: mpañaleale ty raike, naho rarake ty raike.
AND the Lord sent Nathan unto David. And he came unto him, and said unto him, There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor.
2 Nitsifotofoto ty lia-raike naho ty mpirai-tro’ i mpañalealey;
The rich man had exceeding many flocks and herds:
3 fe nipoi’e i rarakey naho tsy ty anak’ añondry vave raike vinili’e naho nibeize’e; ie nibeizeñe ama’e naho amo keleia’eo, nihinana’e ka i tsindro’ey naho ninoñe amy fitovi’ey vaho nandre añ’araña’e eo vaho nihoe anak’ ampela ama’e.
But the poor man had nothing, save one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up: and it grew up together with him, and with his children; it did eat of his own meat, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was unto him as a daughter.
4 Pok’ amy mpañalealey amy zao ty mpañavelo, le nado’e, tsy nangala’e i lia-rai’ey, hañajaria’e ho a i mpañavelo nivotrak’ ama’ey, fe rinambe’e i vik’ añondri’ i rarakeiy vaho nihajarie’e ho a indaty nivotrak’ ama’ey.
And there came a traveller unto the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to dress for the wayfaring man that was come unto him; but took the poor man’s lamb, and dressed it for the man that was come to him.
5 Niforoforo am’ indatiy ty haviñera’ i Davide; le hoe re amy Natane: Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà mañeva hakoromake indaty nanao i raha zaiy;
And David’s anger was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, As the Lord liveth, the man that hath done this thing shall surely die:
6 vaho havaha’e in’ empatse i vik’ añondriy, amy nanoa’e o haloloañe zaoy, ie tsy niferenaiñe indatiy.
And he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity.
7 Aa hoe t’i Natane amy Davide, Ihe ‘nio ondatio. Hoe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele: Norizako ho mpanjaka’ Israele irehe, naho rinombako am-pità’ i Saole;
And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man. Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul;
8 natoloko azo ka ty anjomban-talè’o, naho o valin-talè’oo ho añ’ araña’o, naho natoloko azo ty anjomba’ Israele naho Iehodà; aa naho niloho-kede ama’o izay ho nitompeako zao naho zao iaby.
And I gave thee thy master’s house, and thy master’s wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things.
9 Inoñ’ arè ty nitsambolitioa’o ty tsara’ Iehovà, hanoa’o haratiañe am-pahatreavako? Zinevo’o am-pibara t’i Orià nte-Kite naho rinambe’o ho vali’o i tañanjomba’ey, ie vinono’o am-pibara’ o ana’ i Amoneo.
Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the Lord, to do evil in his sight? thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.
10 Ie amy zao, le lia’e tsy hienga ty anjomba’o i fibaray amy te nitsambolitioa’o Ahiy, vaho rinambe’o ho vali’o ty vali’ i Orià.
Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife.
11 Hoe t’Iehovà: Inao! hampitroboeko añ’ anjomba’o ao ty hankàñe, naho ho tavaneko añatrefam-pihaino’o o vali’oo naho hatoloko ami’ty marine azo, ie hifandia tihy amo vali’oo ampahatreava’ i àndroy.
Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun.
12 Ihe nanao aze añetake fa izaho ka ro hampidodea o raha zao añatrefa’ Israele iaby naho añatrefa’ i àndroy.
For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.
13 Le hoe t’i Davide amy Natane: Aman-kakeo am’ Iehovà iraho. Le hoe t’i Natane amy Davide: Fa napo’ Iehovà ka i tahi’oy; tsy hihomake irehe.
And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the Lord. And Nathan said unto David, The Lord also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die.
14 Fe amy te nanokafa’o lalañe o rafelahi’ Iehovào amy sata’oy, hiteratera, le tsy mete tsy ho simba ty ajaja ho samahe’o.
Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die.
15 Nimpoly mb’añ’ anjomba’e mb’eo t’i Natane. Le pinao’ Iehovà ty ajaja sinama’ i vali’ i Oriày amy Davide, vaho narare mafe.
And Nathan departed unto his house. And the Lord struck the child that Uriah’s wife bare unto David, and it was very sick.
16 Nihalalie’ i Davide aman Añahare i ajajay, naho niliilara’ i D’avide, vaho ie nimoake ao, le mandre an-tane avao amy haleñey.
David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth.
17 Niongak’ amy zao o androanavi’ i anjombaio le nijohañe añ’ila’eo hampitroatse aze boak’an-tane; fe tsy nimete, vaho tsy nitraofa’e fikama.
And the elders of his house arose, and went to him, to raise him up from the earth: but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them.
18 Ie amy andro fahafitoy, nimate i ajajay. Le nihembañe o mpitoro’ i Davideo tsy nahavany hisaontsy ama’e te simba i ajajay; fa hoe iereo: Inay, ie mbe niveloñe i ajajay, naho nisaontsen-tika le tsy hinao’e ty feon-tika; antsake te atalily aze te simba i ajajay, te mone hanolo-tsotry aze?
And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead: for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spake unto him, and he would not hearken unto our voice: how will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the child is dead?
19 Fe nioni’ i Davide te niharo fivesoveso o mpitoro’eo vaho nifohi’ i Davide te nimate i ajajay; le hoe t’i Davide amo mpitoro’eo: Simba hao i ajajay? Le hoe iereo: Simba.
But when David saw that his servants whispered, David perceived that the child was dead: therefore David said unto his servants, Is the child dead? And they said, He is dead.
20 Niongake boak’ an-tane amy zao t’i Davide le nisasa naho nihosotse naho novae’e o saro’eo; le nimoak’ añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà, nitalaho; naho nimoak’ añ’anjomba’e; le nanjotsoa’ iareo mahakama t’ie nanohiñe, vaho nikama.
Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his apparel, and came into the house of the Lord, and worshipped: then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set bread before him, and he did eat.
21 Le hoe o mpitoro’eo tama’e: Ino o nanoe’o zao? ihe nililitse naho nirovetse te niveloñe i ajajay; f’ie nisimba i ajajay, le nitroatse irehe vaho mikama.
Then said his servants unto him, What thing is this that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, while it was alive; but when the child was dead, thou didst rise and eat bread.
22 Aa le hoe re: Naho mbe niveloñe i ajajay le nililirako naho nirovetako, fa nataoko te: Ia ty mahafohiñe hera hañisok’ ahy t’Iehovà vaho hitambeloñe i ajajay?
And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who can tell whether God will be gracious to me, that the child may live?
23 F’ie mate henaneo, ino ty hililirako? hahafivañom-beloñe aze hao? Toe homb’ ama’e añe iraho f’ie tsy himpoly amako.
But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.
24 Aa le nihohòe’ i Davide t’i Batesevàe vali’e, le nizilik’ ama’e ao naho niolora’e, naho nisamak’ anadahy vaho natao’e Selomò ty añara’e. Le nikokoa’ Iehovà;
And David comforted Bath-sheba his wife, and went in unto her, and lay with her: and she bare a son, and he called his name Solomon: and the Lord loved him.
25 vaho nirahe’e am-pità’ i Natane mpitoky; le tinoka’e ty hoe Iedidià ty añara’e, ty amy Iehovà.
And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet; and he called his name Jedidiah, because of the Lord.
26 Ie henane zay nialy amy Rekabe anak’ Amone, t’Ioabe vaho rinambe’e i rovam’ panjakay.
And Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city.
27 Aa le nampañitrike ìrak’ amy Davide re nanao ty hoe: Fa nialiako ty Rakabe, eka, fa rinambeko i rovan-dranoy.
And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbah, and have taken the city of waters.
28 Aa le atontono ty ila’ondatio naho mitobea haname i rovay, naho tavano, kera izaho ty handrambe i rovay, le ho tokaveñe ami’ty añarako.
Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and encamp against the city, and take it: lest I take the city, and it be called after my name.
29 Aa le natonto’ i Davide ondaty iabio, naho nionjomb’e Rakabe mb’eo naho nifandraparapak’ ama’e vaho rinambe’e,
And David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it.
30 le rinambe’e ami’ty añambone’ i Malkame ty sabaka’e; talenta volamena ty lanja’e naho nampipetaham-batosoa; vaho napetak’ añambone’ i Davide. Tsifotofoto ty vara nikopahe’e amy rovay.
And he took their king’s crown from off his head, the weight whereof was a talent of gold with the precious stones: and it was set on David’s head. And he brought forth the spoil of the city in great abundance.
31 Nakare’e iaby ondatio naho nampitoloñe’e lasý naho lasarý viñe naho fekom-bý vaho nampanodore’e birike; izay ty nanoe’e amo fonga rova’ o nte Amoneo vaho nimpoly mb’e Ierosalaime añe t’i Davide naho ondaty iabio.
And he brought forth the people that were therein, and put them under saws, and under harrows of iron, and under axes of iron, and made them pass through the brickkiln: and thus did he unto all the cities of the children of Ammon. So David and all the people returned unto Jerusalem.
