2 Samweli 12
1 Bwana akamtuma Nathani kwa Daudi. Alipofika kwake akamwambia, “Katika mji mmoja kulikuwepo na watu wawili, mmoja alikuwa tajiri na mwingine alikuwa maskini.
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 Yule mtu tajiri alikuwa na idadi kubwa sana ya kondoo na ngʼombe,
To [the] rich [man] it belonged flock[s] and herd[s] many very.
3 lakini yule maskini hakuwa na chochote ila kondoo jike mdogo aliyekuwa amemnunua. Akamtunza kondoo huyo, akakulia kwake pamoja na watoto wake. Kondoo huyo alishiriki chakula cha bwana wake na kunywea kikombe chake hata pia huyo kondoo alilala mikononi mwa bwana wake. Kwake alikuwa kama binti yake.
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 “Siku moja yule tajiri akafikiwa na mgeni, lakini huyo tajiri akaacha kuchukua mmoja wa kondoo au ngʼombe wake mwenyewe amwandalie mgeni. Badala yake akachukua yule kondoo jike mdogo aliyekuwa mali ya yule maskini na kumwandalia yule mgeni wake.”
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 Daudi akawakwa na hasira dhidi ya mtu huyo tajiri na kumwambia Nathani, “Hakika kama Bwana aishivyo, mtu huyo aliyefanya hivyo anastahili kufa!
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 Lazima alipe mara nne zaidi, kwa ajili ya kondoo huyo, kwa sababu amefanya jambo kama hilo na hakuwa na huruma.”
And the ewe-lamb he will restore fourfold consequence that he did the thing this and on that not he showed pity.
7 Ndipo Nathani akamwambia Daudi, “Wewe ndiwe huyo mtu! Hivi ndivyo asemavyo Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli: ‘Nilikupaka mafuta uwe mfalme juu ya Israeli, nilikuokoa kutokana na mkono wa Sauli.
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 Nilikupa nyumba ya bwana wako na wake za bwana wako mikononi mwako. Nikakupa nyumba ya Israeli na Yuda. Kama haya yote yalikuwa madogo sana, ningekupa hata zaidi.
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 Kwa nini ulilidharau neno la Bwana kwa kufanya lililo ovu machoni pake? Ulimuua Uria, Mhiti kwa upanga na kumchukua mke wake awe mkeo. Ulimuua kwa upanga wa Waamoni.
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 Basi kwa hiyo, upanga hautaondoka nyumbani mwako kamwe kwa sababu ulinidharau mimi na kumchukua mke wa Uria, Mhiti kuwa mkeo.’
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 “Hili ndilo asemalo Bwana: ‘Kutoka kwa nyumba yako mwenyewe nitaleta maafa juu yako. Mbele ya macho yako mwenyewe nitatwaa wake zako na kumpa yeye aliye wa karibu nawe, naye atakutana kimwili na wake zako mchana mwangavu.
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 Ulifanya kwa siri, lakini nitalifanya jambo hili wakati wa mchana mwangavu mbele ya Israeli yote.’”
For you you acted in secret and I I will do the thing this before all Israel and before the sun.
13 Ndipo Daudi akamjibu Nathani, “Nimefanya dhambi dhidi ya Bwana.” Nathani akamjibu, “Bwana amekuondolea dhambi yako. Hutakufa.
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 Lakini kwa sababu kwa kufanya hili umefanya adui za Bwana kuonyesha dharau kabisa, mwana atakayezaliwa kwako atakufa.”
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 Baada ya Nathani kurudi nyumbani kwake, Bwana akampiga yule mtoto ambaye mke wa Uria alikuwa amemzalia Daudi, akaugua.
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 Daudi akamwomba Mungu kwa ajili ya mtoto. Akafunga na akaingia ndani ya nyumba yake akawa siku zote analala sakafuni usiku kucha.
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 Wazee wa nyumbani mwake wakamwendea wakasimama karibu naye ili kumwamsha kutoka pale sakafuni, lakini akakataa, wala hakula chochote pamoja nao.
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 Kunako siku ya saba yule mtoto akafa. Watumishi wa Daudi wakaogopa kumwambia kuwa mtoto amekufa, kwa maana walifikiri, “Wakati mtoto alipokuwa angali hai, tulizungumza na Daudi lakini hakutusikiliza. Tutawezaje kumwambia kwamba mtoto amekufa? Anaweza kufanya kitu cha kujidhuru.”
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 Daudi akaona kuwa watumishi wake wananongʼonezana wenyewe, naye akatambua kuwa mtoto alikuwa amekufa. Akauliza “Je, ni kwamba huyo mtoto amekufa?” Wakamjibu, “Ndiyo, mtoto amekufa.”
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 Basi Daudi akainuka kutoka pale sakafuni. Baada ya kuoga, akajipaka mafuta na kubadilisha nguo zake kisha akaenda ndani ya nyumba ya Bwana, akaabudu. Baada ya hapo akaenda nyumbani kwake kwa kutaka kwake, wakamwandalia chakula, naye akala.
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 Watumishi wake wakamuuliza, “Kwa nini unafanya hivi? Mtoto alipokuwa angali hai, ulifunga na kulia; lakini sasa mtoto amekufa, umeinuka na kula.”
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 Akajibu, “Wakati mtoto alipokuwa bado yungali hai, nilifunga na kulia. Nilifikiri, ‘Nani ajuaye? Bwana aweza kunirehemu ili kumwacha mtoto aishi.’
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 Lakini sasa kwa kuwa amekufa, kwa nini nifunge? Je, naweza kumrudisha tena? Mimi nitakwenda kwake, lakini yeye hatanirudia mimi.”
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 Ndipo Daudi akamfariji Bathsheba mkewe, akaingia kwake akakutana naye kimwili. Akazaa mwana, wakamwita jina lake Solomoni. Bwana alimpenda Solomoni.
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 Kwa kuwa Bwana alimpenda, akatuma neno kwa Daudi kwa kinywa cha nabii Nathani kuwa mtoto aitwe Yedidia kwa ajili ya Bwana.
And he sent by [the] hand of Nathan the prophet and he called name his Jedidiah for sake of Yahweh.
26 Wakati huo Yoabu akapigana dhidi ya Raba jamii ya Waamoni na kuteka ngome la kifalme.
And he fought Joab against Rabbah of [the] people of Ammon and he captured [the] city of royalty.
27 Kisha Yoabu akatuma wajumbe kwa Daudi, kusema, “Nimepigana dhidi ya Raba, nami nimetwaa chanzo chake cha maji.
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 Sasa kusanya vikosi vilivyobaki na ukauzingire mji kwa jeshi na kuuteka. La sivyo, nitauteka mimi, nao utaitwa kwa jina langu.”
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 Kwa hiyo Daudi akakusanya jeshi lote akaenda Raba, akaushambulia na kuuteka.
And he gathered David all the people and he went Rabbah towards and he fought against it and he captured it.
30 Akachukua taji kutoka kwa kichwa cha mfalme wao, lililokuwa na uzito wa talanta moja ya dhahabu, nayo ilizungushiwa vito vya thamani. Ikawekwa juu ya kichwa cha Daudi. Alichukua nyara nyingi kutoka mjini huo.
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 Akawatoa watu waliokuwa humo, akawaweka wafanye kazi kwa misumeno, sululu za chuma na mashoka, naye akawaweka kwenye kazi ya kutengeneza matofali. Akafanya hivi kwa miji yote ya Waamoni. Kisha Daudi na jeshi lake lote wakarudi Yerusalemu.
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.
