2 Samuel 12
1 Olúwa sì rán Natani sí Dafidi òun sì tọ̀ ọ́ wá, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Ọkùnrin méjì ń bẹ ní ìlú kan; ọ̀kan jẹ́ ọlọ́rọ̀, èkejì sì jẹ́ tálákà.
The LORD sent Nathan to David. He came to him, and said to him, “There were two men in one city: the one rich, and the other poor.
2 Ọkùnrin ọlọ́rọ̀ náà sì ní àgùntàn àti màlúù lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀.
The rich man had very many flocks and herds,
3 Ṣùgbọ́n ọkùnrin tálákà náà kò sì ní nǹkan bí kò ṣe àgùntàn kékeré kan èyí tí ó sì ń tọ́, ó sì dàgbà ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀; a máa jẹ nínú oúnjẹ rẹ̀, a sí máa mu nínú ago rẹ̀, a sì máa dùbúlẹ̀ ní àyà rẹ̀, ó sì dàbí ọmọbìnrin kan fún un.
but the poor man had nothing, except one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and raised. It grew up together with him and with his children. It ate of his own food, drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was like a daughter to him.
4 “Àlejò kan sì tọ ọkùnrin ọlọ́rọ̀ náà wá, òun kò sì fẹ́ mú nínú àgùntàn rẹ̀, àti nínú màlúù rẹ̀, láti fi ṣe àlejò fún ẹni tí ó tọ̀ ọ́ wá, o sì mú àgùntàn ọkùnrin tálákà náà fi ṣe àlejò fún ọkùnrin tí ó tọ̀ ọ́ wá.”
A traveler came to the rich man, and he did not want to take of his own flock and of his own herd to prepare for the wayfaring man who had come to him, but took the poor man’s lamb and prepared it for the man who had come to him.”
5 Ìbínú Dafidi sì ru gidigidi sí ọkùnrin náà; ó sì wí fún Natani pé, “Bí Olúwa ti ń bẹ láààyè, ọkùnrin náà tí ó ṣe nǹkan yìí, kíkú ni yóò kú.
David’s anger burned hot against the man, and he said to Nathan, “As the LORD lives, the man who has done this deserves to die!
6 Òun yóò sì san àgùntàn náà padà ní mẹ́rin mẹ́rin, nítorí tí ó ṣe nǹkan yìí àti nítorí tí kò ní àánú.”
He must restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing and because he had no pity!”
7 Natani sì wí fún Dafidi pé, “Ìwọ ni ọkùnrin náà. Báyìí ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí, ‘Èmi fi ọ́ jẹ ọba lórí Israẹli, èmi sì gbà ọ́ lọ́wọ́ Saulu.
Nathan said to David, “You are the man! This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you out of the hand of Saul.
8 Èmi sì fi ilé olúwa rẹ fún ọ, àti àwọn obìnrin olúwa rẹ sí àyà rẹ, èmi sì fi ìdílé Israẹli àti ti Juda fún ọ; tí àwọn wọ̀nyí bá sì kéré jù fún ọ èmi ìbá sì fún ọ sí i jù bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ.
I gave you your master’s house and your master’s wives into your bosom, and gave you the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that would have been too little, I would have added to you many more such things.
9 Èéṣe tí ìwọ fi kẹ́gàn ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa, tí ìwọ fi ṣe nǹkan tí ó burú lójú rẹ̀, àní tí ìwọ fi fi idà pa Uriah ará Hiti, àti tí ìwọ fi mú obìnrin rẹ̀ láti fi ṣe obìnrin rẹ, o sì fi idà àwọn ọmọ Ammoni pa á.
Why have you despised the LORD’s word, to do that which is evil in his sight? You have struck Uriah the Hittite with the sword, have taken his wife to be your wife, and have slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.
10 Ǹjẹ́ nítorí náà idà kì yóò kúrò ní ilé rẹ títí láé; nítorí pé ìwọ gàn mí, ìwọ sì mú aya Uriah ará Hiti láti ṣe aya rẹ.’
Now therefore the sword will never depart from your house, because you have despised me and have taken Uriah the Hittite’s wife to be your wife.’
11 “Báyìí ni Olúwa wí, kíyèsi i, ‘Èmi ó jẹ́ kí ibi kí ó dìde sí ọ láti inú ilé rẹ wá, èmi ó sì gba àwọn obìnrin rẹ lójú rẹ, èmi ó sì fi wọ́n fún aládùúgbò rẹ, òun ó sì bá àwọn obìnrin rẹ sùn níwájú òòrùn yìí.
“This is what the LORD says: ‘Behold, I will raise up evil against you out of your own house; and I will take your wives before your eyes and give them to your neighbor, and he will lie with your wives in the sight of this sun.
12 Àti pé ìwọ ṣe é ní ìkọ̀kọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n èmi ó ṣe nǹkan yìí níwájú gbogbo Israẹli, àti níwájú òòrùn.’”
For you did this secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.’”
13 Dafidi sì wí fún Natani pé, “Èmi ṣẹ̀ sí Olúwa!” Natani sì wí fún Dafidi pé, “Olúwa pẹ̀lú sì ti mú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ kúrò; ìwọ kì yóò kú.
David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the LORD.” Nathan said to David, “The LORD also has put away your sin. You will not die.
14 Ṣùgbọ́n nítorí nípa ìwà yìí, ìwọ fi ààyè sílẹ̀ fún àwọn ọ̀tá Olúwa láti sọ ọ̀rọ̀-òdì, ọmọ náà tí a ó bí fún ọ, kíkú ní yóò kú.”
However, because by this deed you have given great occasion to the LORD’s enemies to blaspheme, the child also who is born to you will surely die.”
15 Natani sì lọ sí ilé rẹ̀ Olúwa sì fi ààrùn kọlu ọmọ náà tí obìnrin Uriah bí fún Dafidi, ó sì ṣe àìsàn púpọ̀.
Then Nathan departed to his house. The LORD struck the child that Uriah’s wife bore to David, and he was very sick.
16 Dafidi sì bẹ Ọlọ́run nítorí ọmọ náà, Dafidi sì gbààwẹ̀, ó sì wọ inú ilé lọ, ó sì dùbúlẹ̀ lórí ilé ni òru náà.
David therefore begged God for the child; and David fasted, and went in and lay all night on the ground.
17 Àwọn àgbàgbà ilé rẹ̀ sì dìde tọ̀ ọ́ lọ, láti gbé e dìde lórí ilé, ó sì kọ̀, kò sì bá wọn jẹun.
The elders of his house arose beside him, to raise him up from the earth; but he would not, and he did not eat bread with them.
18 Ní ọjọ́ keje, ọmọ náà sì kú. Àwọn ìránṣẹ́ Dafidi sì bẹ̀rù láti wí fún un pé, ọmọ náà kú: nítorí tí wọ́n wí pé, “Kíyèsi i, nígbà tí ọmọ náà ń bẹ láààyè, àwa sọ̀rọ̀ fún un, òun kọ̀ si gbọ́ ohùn wa! Ǹjẹ́ yóò ti ṣe ara rẹ̀ ní èṣe tó, bí àwa bá wí fún un pé, ọmọ náà kú.”
On the seventh day, the child died. David’s servants 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 did not listen to our voice. How will he then harm himself if we tell him that the child is dead?”
19 Nígbà tí Dafidi sì rí pé àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ ń sọ̀rọ̀ kẹ́lẹ́kẹ́lẹ́, Dafidi sì kíyèsi i, pé ọmọ náà kú, Dafidi sì béèrè lọ́wọ́ àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ pé, “Ọmọ náà kú bí?” Wọ́n sì dá a lóhùn pé, “Ó kú.”
But when David saw that his servants were whispering together, David perceived that the child was dead; and David said to his servants, “Is the child dead?” They said, “He is dead.”
20 Dafidi sì dìde ní ilẹ̀, ó sì wẹ̀, ó fi òróró pa ara, ó sì pààrọ̀ aṣọ rẹ̀, ó sì wọ inú ilé Olúwa lọ, ó sì wólẹ̀ sin, ó sì wá sí ilé rẹ̀ ó sì béèrè, wọ́n sì gbé oúnjẹ kalẹ̀ níwájú rẹ̀, ó sì jẹun.
Then David arose from the earth, and washed and anointed himself, and changed his clothing; and he came into the LORD’s house, and worshiped. Then he came to his own house; and when he requested, they set bread before him and he ate.
21 Àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ sì bí léèrè pé, “Kí ni èyí tí ìwọ ṣe yìí? Nítorí ọmọ náà nígbà tí ó ń bẹ láààyè ìwọ gbààwẹ̀, o sì sọkún; ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ọmọ náà kú, ó dìde ó sì jẹun.”
Then his servants said to him, “What is this that you have done? You fasted and wept for the child while he was alive, but when the child was dead, you rose up and ate bread.”
22 Ó sì wí pé, “Nígbà tí ọmọ náà ń bẹ láààyè, èmi gbààwẹ̀, èmi sì sọkún: nítorí tí èmi wí pé, ‘Ta ni ó mọ̀? Bí Olúwa ó ṣàánú mi, kí ọmọ náà le yè.’
He said, “While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept; for I said, ‘Who knows whether the LORD will not be gracious to me, that the child may live?’
23 Ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí, ó ti kú, nítorí kín ni èmi ó ṣe máa gbààwẹ̀? Èmi ha tún lè mú un padà bí? Èmi ni yóò tọ̀ ọ́ lọ, òun kì yóò sì tún tọ̀ mí wá.”
But now he is dead. Why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him, but he will not return to me.”
24 Dafidi sì ṣìpẹ̀ fún Batṣeba aya rẹ̀, ó sì wọlé tọ̀ ọ́, ó sì bá a dàpọ̀, òun sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan, Dafidi sì sọ orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Solomoni, Olúwa sì fẹ́ ẹ.
David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in to her, and lay with her. She bore a son, and he called his name Solomon. The LORD loved him;
25 Ó sì rán Natani wòlíì, ó sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Jedidiah, nítorí Olúwa.
and he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and he named him Jedidiah, for the LORD’s sake.
26 Joabu sì bá Rabba ti àwọn ọmọ Ammoni jagun, ó sì gba ìlú ọba wọn.
Now Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city.
27 Joabu sì rán àwọn ìránṣẹ́ sí Dafidi, ó sì wí pé, “Èmi ti bá Rabba jà, èmi sì ti gba àwọn ìlú olómi.
Joab sent messengers to David, and said, “I have fought against Rabbah. Yes, I have taken the city of waters.
28 Ǹjẹ́ nítorí náà kó àwọn ènìyàn ìyókù jọ, kí o sì dó ti ìlú náà, kí o sì gbà á, kí èmi má bá à gba ìlú náà kí a má ba à pè é ní orúkọ mi.”
Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and encamp against the city and take it; lest I take the city, and it be called by my name.”
29 Dafidi sì kó gbogbo ènìyàn náà jọ, sí Rabba, ó sì bá a jà, ó sì gbà á.
David gathered all the people together and went to Rabbah, and fought against it and took it.
30 Òun sì gba adé ọba wọn kúrò lórí rẹ̀, ìwúwo rẹ̀ sì jẹ́ tálẹ́ǹtì wúrà kan, ó sì ní òkúta oníyebíye lára rẹ̀; a sì fi dé Dafidi lórí. Òun sì kó ìkógun ìlú náà ni ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀.
He took the crown of their king from off his head; and its weight was a talent of gold, and in it were precious stones; and it was set on David’s head. He brought a great quantity of plunder out of the city.
31 Ó sì kó àwọn ènìyàn náà tí ó wà nínú rẹ̀, ó sì fi wọ́n sí iṣẹ́ ayùn, àti sí iṣẹ́ nǹkan ìtulẹ̀ tí a fi irin ṣe, àti sí iṣẹ́ àáké irin, ó sì fi wọ́n sí iṣẹ́ bíríkì ṣíṣe, bẹ́ẹ̀ náà ni òun sì ṣe sí gbogbo ìlú àwọn ọmọ Ammoni. Dafidi àti gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn náà sì padà sí Jerusalẹmu.
He brought out the people who were in it, and put them to work under saws, under iron picks, under axes of iron, and made them go to the brick kiln; and he did so to all the cities of the children of Ammon. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
