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.
UThixo wathuma uNathani kuDavida. Esefikile kuye wathi, “Kwakulabantu ababili emzini othile, omunye enothile omunye engumyanga.
2 Na ɔdefo no wɔ nguan ne anantwi bebree,
Umuntu onothileyo wayelezimvu ezinengi kanye lenkomo,
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.
kodwa umuntu ongumyanga wayengelalutho ngaphandle kwezinyane lemvu elincinyane ayelithengile. Walondla, lakhula laye kanye labantwana bakhe. Ladla ukudla kwakhe, lanatha enkomitshini yakhe laze lalala ezingalweni zakhe. Kuye lalinjengendodakazi yakhe.
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.”
Kwafika isihambi emuntwini onothileyo, kodwa umuntu onothileyo kafunanga ukuthatha enye yezimvu zakhe loba inkomo ukuba ahlabele isihambi esasifike kuye. Esikhundleni salokho, yena wathatha izinyane lemvu elisikazi elalingelomuntu lowo ongumyanga, walihlabela lowo owayefike kuye.”
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.
UDavida wavutha ulaka ngalowomuntu wathi kuNathani, “Ngeqiniso elinjengoba uThixo ekhona, umuntu owenze lokhu ufanele ukufa!
6 Ɛsɛ sɛ otua oguan bere no ka mmɔ ho anan sɛ ɔyɛɛ bɔne saa a wannya ahummɔbɔ biara.”
Izinyane lelo kumele alihlawule ngokuphindwe kane, ngoba enze into enje njalo engabanga lozwelo.”
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.
UNathani wasesithi kuDavida, “Unguye lowomuntu! Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uthi: ‘Ngakugcoba ukuba ube yinkosi ko-Israyeli, ngakuhlenga esandleni sikaSawuli.
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.
Ngakunika indlu yenkosi yakho, labafazi benkosi yakho ngabanikela ezandleni zakho. Ngakunika indlu ka-Israyeli lekaJuda. Aluba konke lokhu kwakukuncane kakhulu ngangizakunika okunye futhi.
9 Adɛn nti na woabu Awurade asɛm animtiaa, na woayɛ bɔne a ɛte saa? Woakum Hetini Uria, awia ne yere.
Kungani weyise ilizwi likaThixo ngokwenza okubi emehlweni akhe na? Ubulele u-Uriya umHithi ngenkemba wasuthatha umkakhe ukuba abe ngowakho. Umbulele ngenkemba yama-Amoni.
10 Efi nnɛ rekɔ, afoa na ɛbɛyɛ ahunahunade ama wo fifo, efisɛ woabu me animtiaa, afa Hetini Uria yere de no ayɛ wo yere.’
Ngakho, khathesi, inkemba kayiyikusuka endlini yakho, ngoba ungeyisile wathatha umka-Uriya umHithi ukuba abe ngowakho.’
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.
Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: ‘Ngizakulethela incithakalo ezavela kwabendlu yakho. Phambi kwamehlo akho uqobo, ngizathatha omkakho ngibaphe omunye oseduzane lawe, embathe labo emini libalele.
12 Woyɛɛ eyi wɔ kokoa mu, nanso mɛma nea ɛreba wo so no ada gua, ama Israel nyinaa ahu.”
Wena wakwenza ensitha, kodwa mina into le ngizayenza emini libalele phambi kuka-Israyeli wonke.’”
13 Na Dawid ka kyerɛɛ Natan se, “Mayɛ bɔne atia Awurade.” Natan buae se, “Awurade ayi wo bɔne no afi wo so. Worenwu.
UDavida wasesithi kuNathani, “Ngenze isono kuThixo.” UNathani waphendula wathi, “UThixo usesusile isono sakho. Kawuyikufa.
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.”
Kodwa njengoba ngokwenza lokhu wenze izitha zikaThixo zatshengisela ukweyisa okupheleleyo, umntwana ozamzalelwa uzakufa.”
15 Natan kɔɔ ne fi ara pɛ, Awurade maa abofra a Uria yere Batseba wo maa Dawid no yaree denneennen.
Emva kokuba uNathani esebuyele ekhaya, uThixo wamtshaya umntwana umka-Uriya ayemzalele uDavida, wagula.
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.
UDavida wamkhulekela umntwana kuNkulunkulu. Wazila ukudla wangena endlini yakhe walala phansi ubusuku ngobusuku.
17 Mpanyimfo a wɔwɔ ne fi srɛɛ no sɛ ɔnsɔre na ɔne wɔn nnidi, nanso wampene.
Abadala bendlu yakwabo bema eceleni kwakhe ukuba bamvuse phansi, kodwa wala, njalo kadlanga kudla labo.
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.”
Ngosuku lwesikhombisa umntwana wafa. Izinceku zikaDavida zesaba ukumtshela ukuthi umntwana wayesefile ngoba zacabanga zathi, “Umntwana esaphila, sikhulume loDavida kodwa kasilalelanga. Pho singamtshela njani ukuthi umntwana usefile? Angenza into eyingozi.”
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.”
UDavida wananzelela ukuthi izinceku zakhe zazinyenyezelana wasebona ukuthi umntwana wayesefile. Wabuza wathi, “Umntwana usefile na?” Baphendula bathi, “Ye, usefile.”
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.
Lapho-ke uDavida wavuka phansi. Emva kokuba esegezile, wagcoba wantshintsha iziqgoko, waya endlini kaThixo wakhonza. Emva kwalokho waya kweyakhe indlu, kwathi ngokucela kwakhe bamlethela ukudla, wadla.
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!”
Izinceku zakhe zambuza zathi, “Kungani uqhuba ngale indlela na? Umntwana esaphila, uzile ukudla wakhala, kodwa khathesi umntwana esefile, uyavuka udle!”
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.’
Waphendula wathi, “Umntwana esaphila, ngizile ukudla ngakhala. Ngicabange ngathi, ‘Kwazi bani? Mhlawumbe uThixo angaba lomusa kimi ekele umntwana aphile.’
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.”
Kodwa khathesi esefile ngingabe ngisazilelani na? Kambe ngingamvusa na? Mina ngizakuya kuye, kodwa yena kazukubuya kimi.”
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,
Emva kwalokho uDavida waduduza umkakhe uBhathishebha, waya kuye wembatha laye. Wazala indodana abayithi nguSolomoni. UThixo wayemthanda;
25 na ɔde asɛm faa odiyifo Natan so se, ɛsɛ sɛ abofra no din yɛ Yedidia, efisɛ na Awurade dɔ no.
njalo ngenxa yokuthi uThixo wayemthanda, wathumela ilizwi ngoNathani umphrofethi ukuba athiwe nguJedidiya.
26 Saa bere no, na Yoab ne Israel asraafo no ako afa Amon ahenkurow Raba no nnommum.
Ngasikhathi sinye uJowabi wahlasela iRabha yama-Amoni wathumba inqaba yenkosi.
27 Yoab somaa abɔfo kɔɔ Dawid nkyɛn, kɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Mako atia Raba, afa nea wonya wɔn nsu fi.
Emva kwalokho uJowabi wathuma izithunywa kuDavida, esithi, “Ngihlasele iRabha ngathumba imithombo yamanzi.
28 Afei, fa asraafo a wɔaka no bra na wonwie adwuma no, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, wubenya nkonimdi anuonyam no sen sɛ ɛbɛyɛ me de.”
Khathesi-ke qoqa amabutho aseleyo uvimbezele idolobho ulithumbe. Kungenjalo mina ngizalithatha idolobho, libe selibizwa ngami.”
29 Enti Dawid dii nʼakofo a wɔaka no anim kɔɔ Raba kɔfaa hɔ.
Ngakho uDavida waqoqa ibutho lonke waya eRabha, wayihlasela wayithumba.
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.
UDavida wathatha umqhele owawusekhanda lenkosi yabo, isisindo sawo sasilithalenta legolide, uceciswe ngamatshe aligugu njalo wafakwa ekhanda lakhe. Wathatha impango enengi kakhulu kulelodolobho
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.
njalo abantu ababelapho wabasusa wabasa lapho ababezasebenza khona gadalala ngamasaha, ngamapiki ensimbi kanye lamahloka, wabasebenzisa ekwenzeni izitina. Lokhu uDavida wakwenza kuyo yonke imizi yama-Amoni. Emva kwalokho uDavida lebutho lakhe lonke babuyela eJerusalema.
