< 2 Samuel 12 >
1 Og Herren sende Natan til David. Då han kom inn til honom, sagde han med honom: «Det var tvo menner i ein by; den eine var rik, og den andre var fatig.
And he sent Yahweh Nathan to David and he came to him and he said to him two men they were in a city one one [was] rich and one [was] poor.
2 Rikmannen åtte bufe og smale i rikleg mengd.
To [the] rich [man] it belonged flock[s] and herd[s] many very.
3 Fatigmannen åtte inkje anna enn eit lite saulamb, som han hadde kjøpt og ale upp, og som voks upp inne hjå honom og sønerne hans, i lag med deim; det åt av brødbiten hans og drakk av staupet hans, og låg i fanget hans og var som ei dotter for honom.
And [belonged] to the poor [man] not anything that except a ewe-lamb one small which he had acquired and he nourished it and it grew up with him and with children his together from morsel his it ate and from cup his it drank and in bosom his it lay down and it was to him like a daughter.
4 So kom ein vegfarande mann til rikmannen. Då timdest han ikkje taka av sine eigne sauer eller naut sine og laga til åt ferdamannen som var komen til honom, men tok saulambet åt fatigmannen og laga til åt mannen som var komen til honom.»
And he came a traveler to [the] man rich and he spared to take one of own sheep his and one of own cattle his to prepare for the traveler who had come to him and he took [the] ewe-lamb of the man poor and he prepared it for the man who had come to him.
5 Då loga harmen veldug upp i David mot mannen, og han sagde til Natan: «So sant Herren liver: den mannen som det hev gjort, skal lata livet;
And it burned [the] anger of David on the man exceedingly and he said to Nathan [by] [the] life of Yahweh for [is] a son of death the man who did this.
6 og saulambet skal han bøta firfaldt, for di han for soleis fram og var so hjartelaus.»
And the ewe-lamb he will restore fourfold consequence that he did the thing this and on that not he showed pity.
7 Natan svara: «Du er mannen. So segjer Herren, Israels Gud: «Eg salva deg til konge yver Israel; eg frelste deg or Sauls hand.
And he said Nathan to David you [are] the man thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel I I anointed you to king over Israel and I I delivered you from [the] hand of Saul.
8 Eg gav deg huset åt herren din, og konorne åt herren din lagde eg i ditt fang. Eg sette deg yver Israels hus og Judas hus. Og var det for lite, so hadde eg gjeve deg endå meir både av eitt og hitt.
And I gave! to you [the] house of master your and [the] wives of master your in bosom your and I gave! to you [the] house of Israel and Judah and if little and I will add to you like those and like those.
9 Kvifor hev du då vanvyrdt Herrens ord, og gjort det som er ilt i hans augo? Hetiten Uria hev du drepe med sverd, og kona hans hev du teke til kona åt deg sjølv! Honom myrde du med ammonitarsverd.
Why? have you despised - [the] word of Yahweh by doing the evil (in eyes my *Q(K)*) Uriah the Hittite you struck down with the sword and wife his you took for yourself to a wife and him you killed with [the] sword of [the] people of Ammon.
10 Difor skal no sverdet aldri vika frå ditt hus, av di du vanvyrde meg og tok kona åt hetiten Uria til kona åt deg sjølv.»
And therefore not it will depart [the] sword from house your until perpetuity consequence for you despised me and you took [the] wife of Uriah the Hittite to become of you a wife.
11 So segjer Herren: «Sjå, eg let ulukke koma yver deg frå ditt eige hus. Konorne dine tek eg burt frå augo dine og gjev deim åt ein annan, so han ligg med konorne dine midt på ljose dagen.
Thus - he says Yahweh here I [am] about to raise up on you calamity from own house your and I will take wives your to eyes your and I will give [them] to neighbor your and he will lie with wives your to [the] eyes of the sun this.
12 Du let det henda i løyndom; eg let dette henda midt på ljose dagen, so heile Israel er vitne til det.»»
For you you acted in secret and I I will do the thing this before all Israel and before the sun.
13 David svara Natan: «Synda hev eg mot Herren.» Natan sagde til David: «So hev Herren ogso ettergjeve deg skuldi di; du skal ikkje døy.
And he said David to Nathan I have sinned to Yahweh. And he said Nathan to David also Yahweh he has taken away sin your not you will die.
14 Men av di du hev fenge Herrens fiendar til å spotta honom for denne sak skuld, so skal heller ikkje den sonen du hev fenge vera liv lage.»
Nevertheless for indeed you have declared contemptible [the] enemies of Yahweh by the thing this also the son born to you certainly he will die.
15 So gjekk Natan heim. Men Herren søkte med sott det barnet David hadde fenge med kona hans Uria.
And he went Nathan to house his and he struck Yahweh the child whom she had borne [the] wife of Uriah to David and he was sick.
16 David spurde Gud for barnet. Og David fasta. Og når han kom heim og skulde leggja seg um natti, lagde han seg på golvet.
And he sought David God for the lad and he fasted David a fast and he went and he passed [the] night and he lay (in the sackcloth *X*) [the] ground towards.
17 Dei øvste tenarane hans gjekk upp til honom og freista reisa honom upp frå golvet. Men han vilde ikkje. Heller ikkje heldt han måltid i lag med deim.
And they stood [the] elders of house his with him to raise him from the ground and not he was willing and not he ate with them food.
18 Sjuande dagen døydde barnet. Då våga ikkje tenarane åt David melda honom at barnet hadde slokna. Dei tenkte: «Tala me til honom med barnet var i live, so lydde han ikkje på oss; kor kann me då melda honom at barnet hev slokna? Han kunde gjera ei ulukka!»
And it was on the day seventh and he died the child and they were afraid [the] servants of David to tell to him - that he had died the child for they said here! when was the child alive we spoke to him and not he listened to voice our and how? will we say to him he has died the child and he will do harm.
19 Men David gådde at tenarane kviskra saman, og han skyna barnet var dåe. David spurde tenarane: «Hev barnet slokna?» Dei svara ja.
And he saw David that servants his [were] whispering to one another and he understood David that he had died the child and he said David to servants his ¿ has he died the child and they said he has died.
20 Då reis David upp frå golvet, vaska seg, salva seg, skifte klæde, gjekk inn i Herrens hus og kasta seg ned for honom. Og då han kom heim, bad han um mat. Dei fram mat åt honom, og han tok til å eta.
And he arose David from the ground and he bathed and he anointed himself and he changed (garments his *Q(K)*) and he went [the] house of Yahweh and he bowed down and he went to own house his and he asked and they set for him food and he ate.
21 Då spurde tenarane honom: «Korleis heng dette i hop? So lenge barnet var i live, fasta du og gret for det; men når barnet hev slokna, ris du upp og held måltid!»
And they said servants his to him what? [is] the thing this which you have done for sake of the child [was] alive you fasted and you wept and just when he died the child you arose and you ate food.
22 Han svara: «So lenge barnet var i live, fasta eg og gret. Eg tenkte: «Kven veit? kann henda Herren vil miskunna meg og lata barnet liva!»
And he said while still the child [was] alive I fasted and I wept for I said who? [is] knowing (and he will show favor to me *Q(K)*) Yahweh and he will live the child.
23 Men kvifor skulde eg fasta no det er dåe? Kann eg få det att meir? Eg skal fara til honom. Men han kjem ikkje att til meg.»
And now - he has died why? this [am] I fasting ¿ am I able to bring back him again I [am] going to him and he not he will return to me.
24 David trøysta Batseba, kona si. Han budde hjå henne og låg med henne. Ho åtte ein son, som han gav namnet Salomo. Honom hadde Herren kjær.
And he comforted David Bath-sheba wife his and he went into her and he lay with her and she bore a son (and she called *Q(K)*) name his Solomon and Yahweh he loved him.
25 Han sende bod med profeten Natan. Og han gav honom namnet Jedidja for Herrens skuld.
And he sent by [the] hand of Nathan the prophet and he called name his Jedidiah for sake of Yahweh.
26 Joab gjorde åtak på hovudstaden Rabba i Ammonitarlandet, og hertok byen.
And he fought Joab against Rabbah of [the] people of Ammon and he captured [the] city of royalty.
27 So sende Joab bod til David og melde: «Eg hev gjort åtak på Rabba og hev teke vats-byen.
And he sent Joab messengers to David and he said I have fought against Rabbah also I have captured [the] city of the waters.
28 Stemn no i hop resten av folket! Kringset og tak byen, so det ikkje skal heitast at eg hev teke byen, og fær ordet for det!»
And therefore gather [the] rest of the people and encamp on the city and capture it lest I should take I the city and it will be called name my on it.
29 David stemnde då saman alt herfolket, drog til Rabba, gjorde åtak og tok byen.
And he gathered David all the people and he went Rabbah towards and he fought against it and he captured it.
30 Han tok kongekruna frå hovudet på kongen. Ho var av gull og vog vel tvo vågar og var prydd med ein glimestein. Ho vart no sett på Davids hovud. Eit veldugt herfang førde han heim frå byen.
And he took [the] crown of king their from on head his and weight its [was] a talent of gold and a stone precious and it was on [the] head of David and [the] plunder of the city he brought out much very.
31 Folket i byen slæpte han burt, og sette til arbeid ved sagbruki, med treskjevalsorne av jarn og med jarnøksarne, og let deim træla ved tiglomnarne. Soleis gjorde han med alle ammonitarne. So snudde David med alt folket heim att til Jerusalem.
And the people which [was] in it he brought out and he set [them] at the saws and at [the] picks of iron and at [the] axes of iron and he caused to pass them (in the brick mold[s] *Q(K)*) and thus he did to all [the] cities of [the] people of Ammon and he returned David and all the people Jerusalem.
