2 Samuel 12
1 Awurade somaa odiyifoɔ Natan sɛ ɔnkɔka abasɛm yi nkyerɛ Dawid: “Na mmarima baanu bi te kuro bi so. Na mmarima no mu baako yɛ osikani, na deɛ ɔka ho no nso yɛ ohiani.
UThixo wathuma uNathani kuDavida. Esefikile kuye wathi, “Kwakulabantu ababili emzini othile, omunye enothile omunye engumyanga.
2 Na osikani no wɔ nnwan ne anantwie bebree,
Umuntu onothileyo wayelezimvu ezinengi kanye lenkomo,
3 ohiani no deɛ, na ɔnni hwee ka odwanbereɛ ketewa bi a ɔtɔɔ no ho. Ɔyɛn no maa ɔne ɔno ankasa mma nyini boom. Na ɔne aboa no di nʼaduane, nom firi ne kuruwa mu, na nna mu nso, na daa ɔda nʼabasa so. Na ɔte sɛ ɔbabaa ma no.
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 “Ɛda koro bi, ɔhɔhoɔ bi baa osikani no nkyɛn, nanso wankum ne nnwan anaa ne nantwie annoa aduane amfa ansom no hɔhoɔ. Na mmom, ɔkɔkyeree ohiani no odwanbereɛ no, de yɛɛ aduane maa ɔhɔhoɔ 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 fuu saa ɔbarima no yie, na ɔka kyerɛɛ Natan sɛ, “Mmerɛ dodoɔ a Awurade te ase yi, ɛfata sɛ ɔbarima a ɔyɛɛ saa no wuo.
UDavida wavutha ulaka ngalowomuntu wathi kuNathani, “Ngeqiniso elinjengoba uThixo ekhona, umuntu owenze lokhu ufanele ukufa!
6 Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔtua odwanbereɛ no ka mmɔ ho ɛnan sɛ ɔyɛɛ bɔne saa a wannya ahummɔborɔ biara.”
Izinyane lelo kumele alihlawule ngokuphindwe kane, ngoba enze into enje njalo engabanga lozwelo.”
7 Ɛhɔ ara, Natan ka kyerɛɛ Dawid sɛ, “Wone saa ɔbarima no! Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, se, ‘Mesraa wo sɛ Israelhene, gyee wo firii 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 fie ne ne yerenom ne Israel ne Yuda ahemman maa wo. Na sɛ na ɛnonom 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 enti na woabu Awurade asɛm animtia, 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 Ɛfiri ɛnnɛ rekorɔ, akofena na ɛbɛyɛ ahunahunadeɛ ama wo fiefoɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, woabu me animtia, 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 deɛ woayɛ yi enti, me Awurade, mɛma wʼankasa fidua mufoɔ asɔre atia wo. Mede wo yerenom bɛma ɔbarima foforɔ, na ɔne wɔn bɛda ama obiara ahunu.
Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: ‘Ngizakulethela incithakalo ezavela kwabendlu yakho. Phambi kwamehlo akho uqobo, ngizathatha omkakho ngibaphe omunye oseduzane lawe, embathe labo emini libalele.
12 Woyɛɛ yei wɔ kɔkoam, nanso mɛma deɛ ɛreba wo so no ada dwa, ama Israel nyinaa ahunu.”
Wena wakwenza ensitha, kodwa mina into le ngizayenza emini libalele phambi kuka-Israyeli wonke.’”
13 Na Dawid ka kyerɛɛ Natan sɛ, “Mayɛ bɔne atia Awurade.” Natan buaa sɛ, “Awurade ayi wo bɔne no afiri wo so. Worenwu.
UDavida wasesithi kuNathani, “Ngenze isono kuThixo.” UNathani waphendula wathi, “UThixo usesusile isono sakho. Kawuyikufa.
14 Nanso, sɛ woama Awurade atamfoɔ ɛkwan sɛ wɔmmu no animtia, ngu ne din ho fi enti, ɔba a wɔbɛwo no ama wo no bɛwu.”
Kodwa njengoba ngokwenza lokhu wenze izitha zikaThixo zatshengisela ukweyisa okupheleleyo, umntwana ozamzalelwa uzakufa.”
15 Natan kɔɔ ne fie ara pɛ, Awurade maa abɔfra a Uria yere Batseba wo maa Dawid no yaree dendeenden.
Emva kokuba uNathani esebuyele ekhaya, uThixo wamtshaya umntwana umka-Uriya ayemzalele uDavida, wagula.
16 Dawid srɛɛ Onyankopɔn sɛ ɔmma abɔfra no nkye. Ɔkyenee ho kɔm, na ɔkɔɔ fie, na anadwo mu no nyinaa, ɔdaa fam tim.
UDavida wamkhulekela umntwana kuNkulunkulu. Wazila ukudla wangena endlini yakhe walala phansi ubusuku ngobusuku.
17 Mpanimfoɔ a wɔwɔ ne fie 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, abɔfra no wuiɛ. Na Dawid afotufoɔ no suro sɛ wɔbɛbɔ no amaneɛ sɛ abɔfra no awu, ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔn adwene ne sɛ, “Ɛberɛ a na abɔfra no te ase no, yɛkasa kyerɛɛ Dawid, nanso wantie yɛn. Na ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na yɛatumi aka akyerɛ no sɛ abɔfra 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 hunuu sɛ nʼafotufoɔ no reyɛ huhuhuhu no, ɔtee nka sɛ abɔfra no awu. Ɔbisaa sɛ, “Abɔfra no awu anaa?” Wɔbuaa sɛ, “Aane, wawu.”
UDavida wananzelela ukuthi izinceku zakhe zazinyenyezelana wasebona ukuthi umntwana wayesefile. Wabuza wathi, “Umntwana usefile na?” Baphendula bathi, “Ye, usefile.”
20 Na Dawid sɔre firii fam hɔ. Afei, ɔdware wieeɛ a ɔpetee ne ho aduhwam, na ɔsesaa ne ntadeɛ no, ɔkɔɔ Awurade efie kɔsomee. Afei, ɔkɔɔ nʼankasa efie, na ɔno ankasa bisa ma wɔbrɛɛ no aduane, na ɔdidiiɛ.
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 Nʼafotufoɔ no bisaa no sɛ, “Deɛ woreyɛ yi, aseɛ ne sɛn? Ɛberɛ a abɔfra no te ase no, wodii mmuada, twaa agyaadwoɔ. Na afei a wawu no mmom na woasɔre adidie!”
Izinceku zakhe zambuza zathi, “Kungani uqhuba ngale indlela na? Umntwana esaphila, uzile ukudla wakhala, kodwa khathesi umntwana esefile, uyavuka udle!”
22 Ɔbuaa sɛ, “Ɛberɛ a na abɔfra no da so te ase no deɛ, medii abuada, twaa agyaadwoɔ. Medwenee sɛ, ‘Hwan na ɔnim? Ebia, Awurade bɛhunu me mmɔbɔ ama abɔfra 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 enti na ɛsɛ sɛ medi abuada? Mɛtumi asane de no aba nkwa mu bio anaa? Mɛkɔ ne nkyɛn da bi, na ɔno deɛ, ɔrensane 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 daeɛ. Ɔnyinsɛneeɛ, woo ɔbabarima, na wɔtoo no edin Salomo. Awurade pɛɛ abɔfra no asɛm,
Emva kwalokho uDavida waduduza umkakhe uBhathishebha, waya kuye wembatha laye. Wazala indodana abayithi nguSolomoni. UThixo wayemthanda;
25 na ɔde asɛm faa odiyifoɔ Natan so sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ abɔfra no din yɛ Yedidia, ɛfiri sɛ na Awurade dɔ no.
njalo ngenxa yokuthi uThixo wayemthanda, wathumela ilizwi ngoNathani umphrofethi ukuba athiwe nguJedidiya.
26 Saa ɛberɛ no, na Yoab ne Israel akodɔm no reyɛ awie Amon ahenkuro Raba tua no nkonimdie so.
Ngasikhathi sinye uJowabi wahlasela iRabha yama-Amoni wathumba inqaba yenkosi.
27 Yoab somaa abɔfoɔ kɔɔ Dawid nkyɛn, kɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Mako atia Raba, afa deɛ wɔnya wɔn nsuo firie.
Emva kwalokho uJowabi wathuma izithunywa kuDavida, esithi, “Ngihlasele iRabha ngathumba imithombo yamanzi.
28 Afei, fa akodɔm a wɔaka no bra na wɔnwie adwuma no, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, wobɛnya nkonimdie animuonyam no sene sɛ ɛbɛyɛ me dea.”
Khathesi-ke qoqa amabutho aseleyo uvimbezele idolobho ulithumbe. Kungenjalo mina ngizalithatha idolobho, libe selibizwa ngami.”
29 Enti, Dawid dii nʼakodɔm a wɔaka no anim kɔɔ Raba kɔfaa hɔ.
Ngakho uDavida waqoqa ibutho lonke waya eRabha, wayihlasela wayithumba.
30 Dawid tuu ɔhene no ahenkyɛ, na nnipa no de hyɛɛ Dawid. Wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ na ɛyɛɛ ahenkyɛ no a aboɔdemmoɔ bobɔ mu. Na emu duru yɛ kilogram aduasa ɛnan. Dawid foo asadeɛ 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 Ɔsane faa nnipa a wɔwɔ Raba no sɛ nkoa, hyɛɛ wɔn, ma wɔde ɛwan, pinkase ne nkuma yɛɛ adwuma wɔ ntayaa fononoo ho. Saa ara na ɔne nnipa a wɔwɔ Amon nkuro nyinaa so dii noɔ. Na Dawid ne nʼakodɔm sane 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.
