< 2 Saamuʼeel 12 >

1 Waaqayyos Naataanin gara Daawititti erge. Innis gara Daawit dhufee akkana jedhe; “Namoota lamatu magaalaa tokko keessa jiraata ture; inni tokko sooressa, kaan immoo hiyyeessa ture.
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 Namichi sooressi sun hoolotaa fi loon akka malee baayʼee qaba ture;
To [the] rich [man] it belonged flock[s] and herd[s] many very.
3 namichi hiyyeessi sun garuu goromtii hoolaa kan bitate xinnoo tokko malee homaa hin qabu ture; innis goromtii hoolaa sana ni kunuunse; hoolaan sunis isaa fi ijoollee isaa biratti guddatte. Isheen nyaata isaa irraa nyaachaa, dhugaatii isaa irraa dhugaa, bobaa isaa jala ciisaa turte. Goromtiin hoolaa kun isaaf akkuma intala isaa turte.
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 “Gaaf tokko keessummaan tokko mana namicha sooressa sanaa dhufe; namichi sooressi sunis hoolota yookaan loon ofii isaa keessaa tokko fuudhee keessummichaaf nyaata qopheessuu mararsiifate. Qooda kanaa ilmoo hoolaa namicha hiyyeessa sanaa fuudhee keessummaa mana isaa dhufe sanaaf qopheesse.”
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 Daawitis namicha sanatti akka malee aaree Naataaniin akkana jedhe; “Dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa, namichi waan kana godhe sun duʼuu qaba!
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 Namichi sun qooda hoolaa sanaa harka afur baasuu qaba; inni gara laafina malee waan kana godheeraatii.”
And the ewe-lamb he will restore fourfold consequence that he did the thing this and on that not he showed pity.
7 Naataanis Daawitiin akkana jedhe; “Namichi sun suma! Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: ‘Ani Israaʼel irratti mootii godhee si dibeera; harka Saaʼol jalaas si baaseera.
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 Ani mana gooftaa keetii siif kenneera; niitota gooftaa keetii illee bobaa keetti siif kenneera. Ani mana Israaʼelii fi mana Yihuudaa siif kenneera. Utuu kunneen hundi sitti xinnaatanii silaa kana caalaa iyyuu siifin kenna ture.
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 Ati maaliif waan ija isaa duratti hamaa taʼe hojjechuudhaan dubbii Waaqayyoo tuffatte? Ati Uuriyaa namicha Heet sana goraadeen ajjeeftee niitii isaa fudhatteerta. Ati goraadee Amoonotaatiin isa ajjeefte.
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 Kanaafuu amma sababii ati na tuffattee niitii Uuriyaa namicha Heet sana ofii keetiif fudhatteef goraadeen mana kee irraa hin fagaatu.’
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 “Waaqayyo akkana jedha: ‘Kunoo, ani manuma kee keessaa waan hamaa sitti nan kaasa; utuma iji kee arguu niitota kee fuudhee fira sitti aanuuf nan kenna; innis guyyuma saafaadhaan isaan wajjin ni ciisa.
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 Ati dhoksaatti akkas goote; ani garuu Israaʼeloota hunda duratti guyyuma saafaadhaan waan kana nan godha.’”
For you you acted in secret and I I will do the thing this before all Israel and before the sun.
13 Kana irratti Daawit Naataaniin, “Ani Waaqayyotti cubbuu hojjedheera” jedhe. Naataan immoo deebisee akkana jedhe; “Waaqayyo cubbuu kee sirraa haqeera; atis hin duutu.
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 Taʼus sababii ati waan kana gochuudhaan Waaqayyoon tuffatteef daaʼimni siif dhalate sun ni duʼa.”
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 Erga Naataan gara mana ofii isaa deemee booddee Waaqayyo daaʼima niitiin Uuriyaa Daawitiif deesse ni dhaʼe; mucichis ni dhibame.
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 Daawitis daaʼima sanaaf Waaqa kadhate. Innis soomee mana isaatti galee halkan hunda lafa rafaa ture.
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 Maanguddoonni mana isaas lafaa isa kaasuuf isa bira dhadhaabatan; inni garuu ni dide; isaan wajjinis homaa hin nyaanne.
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 Daaʼimni sunis guyyaa torbaffaatti ni duʼe. Tajaajiltoonni Daawit akka daaʼimni sun duʼe isatti himuu sodaatan; isaan, “Nu yeroo daaʼimni sun lubbuun jirutti Daawititti dubbannee ture; inni garuu nu dhagaʼuu dide. Amma akkamiin daaʼimni sun duʼeera jennee itti himna? Yoo nu itti himne inni of miidha taʼa” jedhanii yaadanii turaniitii.
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 Daawit akka tajaajiltoonni isaa walitti asaasaa jiran hubatee daaʼimni sun duʼuu isaa beeke. Innis, “Mucichi ni duʼee?” jedhee gaafate. Isaanis, “Eeyyee duʼeera” jedhanii deebisan.
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 Daawitis lafaa kaʼe. Erga dhagna isaa dhiqatee dibatee booddees uffata isaa geeddaratee mana Waaqayyoo seenee waaqeffate. Ergasii immoo gara mana ofii isaatti galee nyaata gaafannaan dhiʼeessaniif; innis ni nyaate.
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 Tajaajiltoonni isaas, “Ati maaliif akkana goota? Yeroo mucichi lubbuun jirutti ni soomte; ni boosses. Amma garuu mucichi duʼeera; ati immoo kaatee nyaatta!” jedhanii isa gaafatan.
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 Innis akkana jedhee deebise; “Ani yeroo mucichi lubbuun turetti nan soome; nan booʼes. Ani, ‘Eenyutu beeka? Waaqayyo garaa naa laafee mucichi ni fayya’ jedhee yaadeen ture.
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 Amma garuu inni duʼeera; yoos ani maaliifin sooma? Ani isa deebisuu nan dandaʼaa? Anatu gara isaa dhaqa malee inni gara koo hin dhufu!”
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 Ergasiis Daawit niitii isaa Batisheebaa ni jajjabeesse; dhaqees ishee wajjin ciise. Isheenis ilma deesseef; maqaa isaas Solomoon jedhanii moggaasan. Waaqayyos isa ni jaallate;
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 Waaqayyo waan isa jaallateef akka inni Yidiidiyaa jedhamee waamamuuf karaa Naataan raajichaatiin dubbii erge.
And he sent by [the] hand of Nathan the prophet and he called name his Jedidiah for sake of Yahweh.
26 Yeroo sanattis Yooʼaab magaalaa Amoonotaa kan Rabbaa jedhamu waraanee daʼannoo masaraa mootummaa qabate.
And he fought Joab against Rabbah of [the] people of Ammon and he captured [the] city of royalty.
27 Yooʼaabis akkana jedhee Daawititti ergamoota erge; “Ani magaalaa Rabbaa waraanee madda bishaan ishee qabadheera.
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 Egaa ati loltoota hafan walitti qabadhuutii magaalattii marsii qabadhu. Yoo kanaa achii ani magaalattii nan fudhadha; isheenis maqaa kootiin moggaafamti.”
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 Kanaafuu Daawit loltoota hunda walitti qabatee dhaqee Rabbaa waraanee qabate.
And he gathered David all the people and he went Rabbah towards and he fought against it and he captured it.
30 Daawitis mataa mootii isaanii irraa gonfoo fudhate; Gonfichis mataa Daawit irra kaaʼame. Gonfoon sun hamma warqee taalaantii tokkoo ulfaatee dhagaawwan gati jabeeyyiis of irraa qaba ture. Daawitis magaalaa sana keessaa boojuu akka malee baayʼee fudhatee
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 namoota achi keessa turanis gad yaasee akka isaan magaaziidhaan, gasoo sibiilaatii fi qottoodhaan hojii hojjetan godhe; suphees isaan dhoofsise. Daawit magaalaawwan Amoonotaa hunda keessattis akkasuma godhe. Ergasii Daawitii fi loltoonni isaa hundinuu Yerusaalemitti ni deebiʼan.
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.
