2 Samuel 12
1 Awurade somaa odiyifo Natan kɔɔ Dawid nkyɛn. Oduu hɔ no ɔkae se, “Na mmarima baanu bi te kurow bi so. Na mmarima no mu baako yɛ ɔdefo, na nea ɔka ho no nso yɛ ohiani.
Therfor the Lord sente Nathan to Dauid; and whanne he hadde come to Dauid, he seide to Dauid, Answere thou doom to me; twei men weren in o citee; o man was riche, and the tother was pore.
2 Na ɔdefo no wɔ nguan ne anantwi bebree,
The riche man hadde ful many scheep, and oxun;
3 ohiani no de, na onni hwee ka oguan bere ketewa bi a ɔtɔɔ no no ho. Ɔyɛn no maa ɔne ɔno ankasa mma nyin bɔɔ mu. Na ɔne aboa no di nʼaduan, nom fi ne kuruwa mu, na nna mu nso, na daa ɔda nʼabasa so. Na ɔte sɛ ne babea.
sotheli the pore man hadde vttirli no thing, outakun o litil scheep, which he hadde bouyt, and nurschid, and which `hadde wexid at hym with hise sones, and eet togidere of his breed, and drank of his cuppe, and slepte in his bosum; and it was as a douyter to hym.
4 “Da koro bi, ɔhɔho bi baa ɔdefo no nkyɛn, nanso wankum ne nguan anaa ne nantwi annoa aduan amfa ansom no hɔho. Na mmom, ɔkɔkyeree ohiani no guanbere no, de yɛɛ aduan maa ɔhɔho a wabɛsoɛ no no.”
Forsothe whanne a pilgrym `hadde come to the riche man, he sparide to take of hise scheep and oxun, that he schulde make a feeste to that pilgrym, that cam to hym; and he took the scheep of the pore man, and `made redi metis to the man that cam to hym.
5 Dawid tee asɛm no, ne bo fuw saa ɔbarima no yiye, na ɔka kyerɛɛ Natan se, “Mmere dodow a Awurade te ase yi, ɛfata sɛ ɔbarima a ɔyɛɛ saa no wu.
Forsothe Dauid was ful wrooth with indignacioun ayens that man, and seide to Nathan, The Lord lyueth, for the man that dide this is the sone of deeth;
6 Ɛsɛ sɛ otua oguan bere no ka mmɔ ho anan sɛ ɔyɛɛ bɔne saa a wannya ahummɔbɔ biara.”
he schal yelde the scheep in to foure folde, for he dide this word, and sparide not.
7 Ɛhɔ ara, Natan ka kyerɛɛ Dawid se, “Wone saa ɔbarima no! Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn, se, ‘Mesraa wo sɛ Israelhene, gyee wo fii Saulo tumi ase.
Forsothe Nathan seide to Dauid, Thou art thilke man, that hast do this thing. The Lord God of Israel seith these thingis, Y anoyntide thee `in to kyng on Israel, and Y delyuerede thee fro the hond of Saul,
8 Mede ne fi ne ne yerenom ne Israel ne Yuda ahemman maa wo. Na sɛ na ɛno nnɔɔso a, anka mɛma wo bebree aka ho.
and Y yaf to thee the hows of thi lord, and the wyues of thi lord in thi bosum, and Y yaf to thee the hows of Israel, and of Juda; and if these thingis ben litil, Y schal adde to thee myche grettere thingis.
9 Adɛn nti na woabu Awurade asɛm animtiaa, na woayɛ bɔne a ɛte saa? Woakum Hetini Uria, awia ne yere.
Whi therfor hast thou dispisid the word of the Lord, that thou didist yuels in my siyt? Thou hast smyte by swerd Vrye Ethei, and thou hast take his wijf in to wijf to thee, and thou hast slayn hym with the swerd of the sones of Amon.
10 Efi nnɛ rekɔ, afoa na ɛbɛyɛ ahunahunade ama wo fifo, efisɛ woabu me animtiaa, afa Hetini Uria yere de no ayɛ wo yere.’
Wherfor swerd schal not go awey fro thin hows til in to with outen ende; for thou dispysidist me, and tokist the wijf of Vrye Ethei, that sche schulde be thi wijf.
11 “Esiane nea woayɛ yi nti, me Awurade, mɛma wʼankasa fi mufo asɔre atia wo. Mede wo yerenom bɛma ɔbarima foforo, na ɔne wɔn bɛda ama obiara ahu.
Therfor the Lord seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal reise on thee yuel of thin hows, and Y schal take thi wyues in `thin iyen, and Y schal yyue to thi neiybore, and he schal slepe with thi wyues in the iyen of this sunne, `that is, opynli bifor alle men, as in xv. chapitre.
12 Woyɛɛ eyi wɔ kokoa mu, nanso mɛma nea ɛreba wo so no ada gua, ama Israel nyinaa ahu.”
For thou hast do priueli; forsothe Y schal do this word in the siyt of al Israel, and in the siyt of this sunne.
13 Na Dawid ka kyerɛɛ Natan se, “Mayɛ bɔne atia Awurade.” Natan buae se, “Awurade ayi wo bɔne no afi wo so. Worenwu.
And Dauid seide to Nathan, Y haue synned to the Lord. And Nathan seide to Dauid, Also the Lord hath turned awei thi synne; thou schalt not die.
14 Nanso sɛ woama Awurade atamfo kwan sɛ wommu no animtiaa, ngu ne din ho fi nti, ɔba a wɔbɛwo no ama wo no bewu.”
Netheles for thou madist enemyes to blasfeme the name of the Lord, for this word the child which is borun to thee schal die bi deeth.
15 Natan kɔɔ ne fi ara pɛ, Awurade maa abofra a Uria yere Batseba wo maa Dawid no yaree denneennen.
And Nathan turnede ayen in to his hows. And the Lord smoot the litil child, whom the wijf of Vrye childide to Dauid, and he dispeiride.
16 Dawid srɛɛ Onyankopɔn sɛ ɔmma abofra no ntena ase. Ɔkyen ho kɔm, na ɔkɔɔ fi, na anadwo mu no nyinaa, furaa atweaatam, daa fam tim.
And Dauid preiede the Lord for the litil child; and Dauid fastide bi fastyng, and entride asidis half, and lai on the erthe.
17 Mpanyimfo a wɔwɔ ne fi srɛɛ no sɛ ɔnsɔre na ɔne wɔn nnidi, nanso wampene.
Sotheli the eldere men of his hows camen, and constreyneden hym `bi meke preieris, that he schulde rise fro the erthe; and he nolde, nethir he eet mete with hem.
18 Ne nnanson so, abofra no wui. Na Dawid afotufo no suro sɛ wɔbɛbɔ no amanneɛ sɛ abofra no awu, efisɛ na wɔn adwene ne se, “Bere a na abofra no te ase no, yɛkasa kyerɛɛ Dawid, nanso wantie yɛn. Na ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na yɛatumi aka akyerɛ no se abofra no awu? Anhwɛ a, ɔbɛyɛ ne ho biribi.”
Forsothe it bifelde in the seuenthe dai, that the yong child diede; and the seruauntis of Dauid dredde to telle to hym, that the litil child was deed; for thei seiden, Lo! whanne the litil child lyuede yit, we spaken to hym, and he herde not oure vois; hou myche more, if we seien the child is deed, he schal turment himsilf?
19 Na Dawid huu sɛ nʼafotufo no reyɛ huhuhuhu no, ɔtee nka sɛ abofra no awu. Obisae se, “Abofra no awu ana?” Wobuae se, “Yiw, wawu.”
Therfore whanne Dauid hadde herd his seruauntis spekynge priueli, `ether moterynge, he understood that the yong child was deed; `and he seyde to his seruauntis, Whether the child is deed? Whiche answeriden to hym, He is deed.
20 Na Dawid sɔre fii fam hɔ. Afei, oguare wiee a ɔpetee ne ho aduhuam, na ɔsesaa ne ntade no, ɔkɔɔ Awurade fi kɔsɔree. Afei, ɔkɔɔ nʼankasa fi, na ɔno ankasa ka ma wɔbrɛɛ no aduan, na odidii.
Therfor Dauid roos fro the erthe, and was waischid, and anoyntid; and whanne he hadde chaungid cloth, he entride in to the hows of the Lord, and worschipide, and cam in to his hows; and he axide, that thei schulden sette breed to hym, and he eet.
21 Nʼafotufo no bisaa no se, “Nea woreyɛ yi, ase ne dɛn? Bere a abofra no te ase no, wudii mmuada, twaa agyaadwo. Na afei a wawu no mmom na woasɔre adidi!”
Sothely his seruauntis seiden to hym, What is the word which thou hast do? Thou fastidist, and weptist for the yong child, whanne he lyuede yit; sotheli whanne the child was deed, thou risidist and etist breed?
22 Obuae se, “Bere a na abofra no da so te ase no de, midii abuada, twaa agyaadwo. Medwenee sɛ, ‘Hena na onim? Ebia, Awurade behu me mmɔbɔ ama abofra no atena.’
And Dauid seide, Y fastide and wepte for the yong child, whanne he lyuyde yit; for Y seide, Who woot, if perauenture the Lord yyue hym to me, and the yong child lyue?
23 Na afei a wawu yi, adɛn nti na ɛsɛ sɛ midi abuada? Metumi asan de no aba nkwa mu bio ana? Mɛkɔ ne nkyɛn da bi, na ɔno de, ɔrensan mma me nkyɛn ha da.”
`Now forsothe for he is deed, whi `fast Y? whether Y schal mow ayen clepe hym more? Y schal `go more to hym, but he schal not turne ayen to me.
24 Na Dawid kyekyeree ne yere Batseba werɛ, na ɔne no dae. Onyinsɛnee, woo ɔbabarima, na wɔtoo no din Salomo. Awurade pɛɛ abofra no asɛm,
And Dauid coumfortid Bersabee, his wijf; and he entride to hir, and slepte with hir. And sche gendride a sone, and Dauid clepide his name Salomon; and the Lord louyde hym.
25 na ɔde asɛm faa odiyifo Natan so se, ɛsɛ sɛ abofra no din yɛ Yedidia, efisɛ na Awurade dɔ no.
And he sente Salomon in the hond of Nathan, the prophete; and he clepide his name Amyable to the Lord, for the Lord louyde hym.
26 Saa bere no, na Yoab ne Israel asraafo no ako afa Amon ahenkurow Raba no nnommum.
Therfor Joab fauyt ayens Rabath, of the sones of Amon, and he fauyt ayens the `kyngis citee.
27 Yoab somaa abɔfo kɔɔ Dawid nkyɛn, kɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Mako atia Raba, afa nea wonya wɔn nsu fi.
And Joab sente messangeris to Dauid, and seide, Y fauyte ayens Rabath, and the citee of watris schal be takun.
28 Afei, fa asraafo a wɔaka no bra na wonwie adwuma no, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, wubenya nkonimdi anuonyam no sen sɛ ɛbɛyɛ me de.”
Now therfor gadere thou the tother part of the puple, and bisege thou the citee, and take thou it, lest whanne the citee is wastid of me, the victorie be arettid to my name.
29 Enti Dawid dii nʼakofo a wɔaka no anim kɔɔ Raba kɔfaa hɔ.
Therfor Dauid gaderide al the puple, and he yede forth ayens Rabath; and whanne he hadde fouyte, he took it.
30 Dawid tuu ɔhene no ahenkyɛw, na nnipa no de hyɛɛ Dawid. Wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ na ɛyɛɛ ahenkyɛw no a aboɔdenmmo bobɔ mu a, na ɛkari nsania ani kilogram aduasa anan. Dawid fow asade bebree wɔ kuropɔn no mu.
And he took the diademe of the kyng of hem fro his heed, bi weiyte a talent of gold, hauynge preciouseste peerlis; and it was put on the heed of Dauid, `that is, aftir that it was weldid and purgid bi fier; but also Dauid bar awey ful myche prey of the citee.
31 Ɔsan faa nnipa a wɔwɔ Raba no sɛ nkoa, hyɛɛ wɔn, ma wɔde ɔwan, pinkase ne mmonnua yɛɛ adwuma wɔ ntayaa fononoo ho. Saa ara na ɔne nnipa a wɔwɔ Amon nkurow nyinaa so dii no. Na Dawid ne nʼakofo san kɔɔ Yerusalem.
Also he ledde forth the puple therof, and sawide, and `dide aboute hem `yrun instrumentis of turment, and departide with knyues, and `ledde ouer bi the licnesse of tijl stoonus; so he dide to alle the citees of the sones of Amon. And Dauid turnede ayen, and al his oost, in to Jerusalem.
