< 2 Samuel 12 >
1 At sinugo ng Panginoon si Nathan kay David. At siya'y naparoon sa kaniya, at nagsabi sa kaniya, May dalawang lalake sa isang bayan; ang isa ay mayaman at ang isa ay mahirap.
And the Lord sent Nathan the prophet to David; and he went in to him, and said to him, There were two men in one city, one rich and the other poor.
2 Ang mayaman ay mayroon totoong maraming kawan at bakahan:
And the rich [man] had very many flocks and herds.
3 Nguni't ang mahirap ay walang anomang bagay, liban sa isang munting korderong babae, na kaniyang binili at inalagaan: at lumaki sa kaniya, at sa kaniyang mga anak; kumakain ng kaniyang sariling pagkain at umiinom ng kaniyang sariling inumin, at humihiga sa kaniyang sinapupunan, at sa kaniya'y parang isang anak.
But the poor [man had] only one little ewe lamb, which he had purchased, and preserved, and reared; an it grew up with himself and his children in common; it ate of his bread and drank of his cup, and slept in his bosom, and was to him as a daughter.
4 At naparoon ang isang maglalakbay sa mayaman, at ipinagkait niya ang kaniyang sariling kawan at ang kaniyang sariling bakahan, na ihanda sa naglalakbay na dumating sa kaniya, kundi kinuha ang kordero ng mahirap na lalake, at inihanda sa lalake na dumating sa kaniya.
And a traveller came to the rich man, and he spared to take of his flocks and of his herds, to dress for the traveller that came to him; and he took the poor man's lamb, and dressed it for the man that came to him.
5 At ang galit ni David ay nagalab na mainam laban sa lalake; at kaniyang sinabi kay Nathan, Buhay ang Panginoon, ang lalake na gumawa nito ay karapatdapat na mamatay:
And David was greatly moved with anger against the man; and David said to Nathan, [As] the Lord lives, the man that did this thing shall surely die.
6 At isinauli ang kordero na may dagdag na apat, sapagka't kaniyang ginawa ang bagay na ito, at sapagka't siya'y hindi naawa.
And he shall restore the lamb seven-fold, because he has not spared.
7 At sinabi ni Nathan kay David, Ikaw ang lalaking yaon. Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, ng Dios ng Israel, Pinahiran kita ng langis na maging hari sa Israel, at aking iniligtas ka sa kamay ni Saul;
And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man that has done this. Thus says the Lord God of Israel, I anointed thee to be king over Israel, and I rescued thee out the hand of Saul;
8 At ibinigay ko sa iyo ang bahay ng iyong panginoon, at ang mga asawa ng iyong panginoon sa iyong sinapupunan, at ibinigay ko sa iyo ang sangbahayan ng Israel at ng Juda; at kung totoong kakaunti pa ito, ay dadagdagan pa kita ng gayong bagay.
and I gave thee the house of thy lord, and the wives of thy lord into thy bosom, and I gave to thee the house of Israel and Juda; and if that had been little, I would have given thee yet more.
9 Bakit nga iyong niwalang kabuluhan ang salita ng Panginoon, na iyong ginawa ang masama sa kaniyang paningin? iyong sinugatan ng tabak si Uria na Hetheo, at iyong kinuha ang kaniyang asawa upang maging iyong asawa, at iyong pinatay siya ng tabak ng mga anak ni Ammon.
Why hast thou set at nought the word of the Lord, to do that which is evil in his eyes? thou hast slain Urias the Chettite with the sword, and thou hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and thou hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.
10 Ngayon nga'y ang tabak ay hindi hihiwalay kailan man sa iyong sangbahayan; sapagka't iyong niwalan ng kabuluhan ako, at iyong kinuha ang asawa ni Uria na Hetheo upang maging iyong asawa.
Now therefore the sword shall not depart from thy house for ever, because thou has set me at nought, and thou hast taken the wife of Urias the Chettite, to be thy wife.
11 Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, Narito, ako'y magtitindig ng kasamaan laban sa iyo na mula sa iyong sariling sangbahayan, at aking kukunin ang iyong mga asawa sa harap ng iyong mga mata, at aking ipagbibigay sa iyong kapuwa, at kaniyang sisipingan ang iyong mga asawa sa sikat ng araw na ito.
Thus says the Lord, Behold, I will raise up against thee evil out of thy house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and will give them to thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun.
12 Sapagka't iyong ginawa na lihim: nguni't aking gagawin ang bagay na ito sa harap ng buong Israel, at sa harap ng araw.
For thou didst it secretly, but I will do this thing in the sight of all Israel, and before the sun.
13 At sinabi ni David kay Nathan, Ako'y nagkasala laban sa Panginoon. At sinabi ni Nathan kay David, Inalis din ng Panginoon ang iyong kasalanan; hindi ka mamamatay.
And David said to Nathan, I have sinned against the Lord. And Nathan said to David, And the Lord has put away thy sin; thou shalt not die.
14 Gayon ma'y sapagka't sa gawang ito'y iyong binigyan ng malaking pagkakataon ang mga kaaway ng Panginoon upang magsipanungayaw, ang bata naman na ipinanganak sa iyo ay walang pagsalang mamamatay.
Only because thou hast given great occasion of provocation to the enemies of the Lord by this thing, thy son also that is born to thee shall surely die.
15 At si Nathan ay umuwi sa kaniyang bahay. At sinaktan ng Panginoon ang bata na ipinanganak ng asawa ni Uria kay David, at totoong malubha.
And Nathan departed to his house. And the Lord smote the child, which the wife of Urias the Chettite bore to David, and it was ill.
16 Ipinanalangin nga ni David sa Dios ang bata; at si David ay nagaayuno, at pumapasok, at humihiga buong gabi sa lupa.
And David enquired of God concerning the child, and David fasted, and went in and lay all night upon the ground.
17 At bumabangon ang mga matanda sa kaniyang bahay, at tumatayo sa siping niya, upang itindig siya sa lupa; nguni't siya'y ayaw kahit kumain ng tinapay na kasalo nila.
And the elders of his house arose [and went] to him to raise him up from the ground, but he would not [rise], nor did he eat bread with them.
18 At nangyari, nang ikapitong araw, na ang bata ay namatay. At nangatakot ang mga lingkod ni David na saysayin sa kaniya na ang bata ay patay na: sapagka't kanilang sinabi, Narito, samantalang ang bata ay buhay pa, tayo ay nakipagsalitaan sa kaniya, at hindi siya nakinig sa ating tinig: gaano ngang ikababagabag niya kung ating sasabihin sa kaniya na ang bata ay patay na?
And it came to pass on the seventh day that the child died: and the servants of David were afraid to tell him that the child was dead; for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive we spoke to him, and he hearkened not to our voice; and thou should we tell him that the child is dead?—so would he do [himself] harm.
19 Nguni't nang makita ni David na ang kaniyang mga lingkod ay nagbubulong-bulungan, nahalata ni David na ang bata ay patay na: at sinabi ni David sa kaniyang mga lingkod, Patay na ba ang bata? At kanilang sinabi, Siya'y patay na.
And David understood that his servants were whispering, and David perceived that the child was dead: and David said to his servants, Is the child dead? and they said, He is dead.
20 Nang magkagayo'y bumangon si David sa lupa at naligo, at nagpahid ng langis, at nagbihis ng kaniyang suot; at siya'y naparoon sa bahay ng Panginoon, at sumamba: saka naparoon siya sa kaniyang sariling bahay; at nang siya'y humingi, hinainan nila ng tinapay siya sa harap, at siya'y kumain.
Then David rose up from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his raiment, and went into the house of God, and worshipped him; and went into his own house, and called for bread to eat, and they set bread before him and he ate.
21 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ng kaniyang mga lingkod sa kaniya, Anong bagay ito na iyong ginawa? ikaw ay nagaayuno at umiiyak dahil sa bata, samantalang siya'y buhay; nguni't nang mamatay ang bata, ikaw ay bumangon at kumain ng tinapay.
And his servants said to him, What [is] this thing that thou hast done concerning the child? while it was yet living thou didst fast, and weep, and watch: and when the child was dead thou didst rise up, and didst eat bread, and drink.
22 At kaniyang sinabi, Samantalang ang bata'y buhay pa, ako'y nagaayuno at umiiyak: sapagka't aking sinabi, Sino ang nakakaalam kung maaawa sa akin ang Panginoon, na anopa't ang bata'y mabuhay?
And David said, While the child yet lived, I fasted and wept; for I said, Who knows if the Lord will pity me, and the child live?
23 Nguni't ngayo'y patay na siya; bakit pa ako magaayuno? Maibabalik ko pa ba siya? Ako'y paroroon sa kaniya, nguni't siya'y hindi babalik sa akin.
But now it is dead, why should I fast thus? shall I be able to bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.
24 At inaliw ni David si Bath-sheba na kaniyang asawa, at lumapit sa kaniya, at sumiping sa kaniya: At siya'y nanganak ng isang lalake, at tinawag niya ang kaniyang pangalan na Salomon. At minahal siya ng Panginoon.
And David comforted Bersabee his wife, and he went in to her, and lay with her; and she conceived and bore a son, and he called his named Solomon, and the Lord loved him.
25 At nagsugo siya sa pamamagitan ng kamay ni Nathan na propeta, at tinawag niya ang kaniyang pangalan na Jedidiah alang-alang sa Panginoon.
And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and called his name Jeddedi, for the Lord's sake.
26 Nakipaglaban nga si Joab, sa Rabba sa mga anak ni Ammon, at sinakop ang bayang hari.
And Joab fought against Rabbath of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city.
27 At nagsugo si Joab ng mga sugo kay David, at nagsabi, Ako'y nakipaglaban sa Rabba, oo, aking sinakop ang bayan ng mga bukal ng tubig.
And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbath, and taken the city of waters.
28 Ngayon nga'y pisanin mo ang nalabi sa bayan, at humantong ka laban sa bayan, at sakupin mo: baka aking sakupin ang bayan, at tawagin ayon sa aking pangalan.
And now gather the rest of the people, and encamp against the city, an take it beforehand; lest I take the city first, and my name be called upon it.
29 At pinisan ni David ang buong bayan, at naparoon sa Rabba, at bumaka laban doon, at sinakop.
And David gathered all the people, and went to Rabbath, and fought against it, and took it.
30 At inalis ang putong ng kanilang hari sa kaniyang ulo: at ang bigat niyaon ay isang talentong ginto, at may mga mahalagang bato; at ipinutong sa ulo ni David. At siya'y naglabas ng samsam sa bayan na totoong marami.
And he took the crown of Molchom their king from off his head, and the weight of it was a talent of gold, with precious stones, and it was upon the head of David; and he carried forth very much spoil of the city.
31 At kaniyang inilabas ang bayan na nandoon, at inilagay sa ilalim ng mga lagari, at ng mga suyod na bakal, at ng mga palakol na bakal, at mga pinaraan sa mga lutuan ng laryo: at gayon ang ginawa niya sa lahat ng mga bayan ng mga anak ni Ammon. At si David at ang buong bayan ay bumalik sa Jerusalem.
And he brought forth the people that were in it, and put them under the saw, and under iron harrows, and axes of iron, and made them pass through the brick-kiln: and thus he did to all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
