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 unto David, and he came unto him and said to him, Two men were once in one city, the one rich and the other poor.
2 Ang mayaman ay mayroon totoong maraming kawan at bakahan:
The rich man had flocks and herds, in great abundance.
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 nothing, save one little ewe, which he had bought; and he nourished it, and it grew up with him and with his children together; of his bread it used to eat, and out of his cup it used to drink, and in his bosom it used to lie, and it 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 there came a traveler unto the rich man; and he felt compunction to take from his own flocks and from his own herds to dress for the wayfarer that was come to him; but he took the ewe of the poor man, and dressed it for the man that was come 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 the anger of David was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, As the Lord liveth, surely the man that hath done this deserveth to 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 the ewe he shall pay fourfold, for punishment that he hath done this thing, and because he had no compassion.
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;
Then said Nathan to David, Thou art the man! Thus hath said the Lord, the God of Israel, It is I who anointed thee as king over Israel, and it is I who delivered thee out of 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 unto thee the house of thy master, and [put] the wives of thy master into thy bosom, and gave unto thee the house of Israel and Judah: and if this be too little, I could bestow on thee yet many more like these things.
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.
Wherefore hast thou despised the word of the Lord to do what is evil in his eyes? Uriyah the Hittite hast thou smitten with the sword, and his wife hast thou taken unto thee for wife; but him hast thou slain 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.
And now, the sword shall not depart from thy house for ever; for the reason that thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriyah the Hittite 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 hath said the Lord, Behold, I will raise up against thee evil out of thy own house, and I will take away thy wives before thy eyes, and I will give them unto thy neighbor; and he shall lie with thy wives before the face 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 hast done it in secret; but I will surely do this thing before 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.
Then said David unto Nathan, I have sinned against the Lord. And Nathan said to David, Also the Lord hath caused thy sin to pass away: 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.
Nevertheless, because thou hast given great cause to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme through this thing, the child also that hath been born unto 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 went to his house; and the Lord struck the child that Uriyah's wife had born unto David, that it became very sick.
16 Ipinanalangin nga ni David sa Dios ang bata; at si David ay nagaayuno, at pumapasok, at humihiga buong gabi sa lupa.
And David besought God in behalf of the lad; and David kept a fast, and came home, and lay over night upon the earth.
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 the house arose about him, to raise him up from the earth; but he would not, and he did not partake of any 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 would not hearken to our voice: how then shall we say to him, The child is dead! he might do [himself] a hurt.
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.
But when David saw that his servants were whispering to each other, David understood that the child was dead; wherefore David said unto 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.
David then rose up from the earth, and washed and anointed himself, and changed his garments, and went into the house of the Lord and prostrated himself; and then he came to his own house, and asked that they should set food 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 then said unto him, What is this thing which thou hast done? On account of the child when living thou didst fast and weep; but as soon as the child was dead thou didst arise and eat bread!
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 he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept; because I said, Who knoweth, but that the Lord will be gracious to me, that the child may 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 he is dead, wherefore should I fast then? can I restore him again? I am going to him; but he will 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 Bath-sheba' his wife, and he went in unto her, and lay with her; and she bore a son, and called his name 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, Yedideyah in behalf of the Lord.
26 Nakipaglaban nga si Joab, sa Rabba sa mga anak ni Ammon, at sinakop ang bayang hari.
And Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of 'Ammon, and captured 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 Rabbah, and have also captured the water-town.
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 together, and encamp against the city, and capture it: lest I capture the city myself, and it be called by my name.
29 At pinisan ni David ang buong bayan, at naparoon sa Rabba, at bumaka laban doon, at sinakop.
And David gathered all the people together and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and captured 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 Malkam from off his head, and its weight was a talent of gold, and [on it was] a precious stone, and it was set on the head of David; and the booty of the city he brought out in great abundance.
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 the people that were therein he brought forward, and put them under saws, and under iron threshing-wagons, and under axes of iron, and made them pass through brick-kilns; and thus did he unto all the cities of the children of 'Ammon: and David returned with them with all the people unto Jerusalem.
