< 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.
Then the LORD sent Nathan to David, and when he arrived, he said, “There were two men in a certain city, one rich and the other poor.
2 Ọkùnrin ọlọ́rọ̀ náà sì ní àgùntàn àti màlúù lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀.
The rich man had a great number of sheep and cattle,
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 small ewe lamb that he had bought. He raised it, and it grew up with him and his children. It shared his food and drank from his cup; it slept in his arms 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.”
Now a traveler came to the rich man, who refrained from taking one of his own sheep or cattle to prepare for the traveler who had come to him. Instead, he took the poor man’s lamb and prepared it for his guest.”
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 burned with anger against the man and said to Nathan: “As surely as the LORD lives, the man who did 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.”
Because he has done this thing and has shown no pity, he must pay for the lamb four times over.”
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.
Then Nathan said to David, “You are that man! This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you from 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 your master’s house to you and your master’s wives into your arms. I gave you the house of Israel and Judah, and if that was not enough, I would have given you even more.
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 then have you despised the command of the LORD by doing evil in His sight? You put Uriah the Hittite to the sword and took his wife as your own, for you have slain him with the sword of the Ammonites.
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 the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your own.’
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: ‘I will raise up adversity against you from your own house. Before your very eyes I will take your wives and give them to another, and he will lie with them in broad daylight.
12 Àti pé ìwọ ṣe é ní ìkọ̀kọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n èmi ó ṣe nǹkan yìí níwájú gbogbo Israẹli, àti níwájú òòrùn.’”
You have acted in secret, but I will do this thing in broad daylight before all Israel.’”
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.
Then David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the LORD.” “The LORD has taken away your sin,” Nathan replied. “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.”
Nevertheless, because by this deed you have shown utter contempt for the word of the LORD, the son 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.
After Nathan had gone home, the LORD struck the child that Uriah’s wife had borne to David, and he became ill.
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 pleaded with God for the boy. He fasted and went into his house and spent the night lying in sackcloth 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 household stood beside him to help him up from the ground, but he was unwilling and would not eat anything 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. But David’s servants were afraid to tell him that the child was dead, for they said, “Look, while the child was alive, we spoke to him, and he would not listen to us. So how can we tell him the child is dead? He may even harm himself.”
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.”
When David saw that his servants were whispering to one another, he perceived that the child was dead. So he asked his servants, “Is the child dead?” “He is dead,” they replied.
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 got up from the ground, washed and anointed himself, changed his clothes, and went into the house of the LORD and worshiped. Then he went to his own house, and at his request they set food 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.”
“What is this you have done?” his servants asked. “While the child was alive, you fasted and wept, but when he died, you got up and ate.”
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.’
David answered, “While the child was alive, I fasted and wept, for I said, ‘Who knows? The LORD may be gracious to me and let him 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 that 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.
Then David comforted his wife Bathsheba, and he went to her and lay with her. So she gave birth to a son, and they named him Solomon. Now the LORD loved the child
25 Ó sì rán Natani wòlíì, ó sì pe orúkọ rẹ̀ ní Jedidiah, nítorí Olúwa.
and sent word through Nathan the prophet to name him Jedidiah because the LORD loved him.
26 Joabu sì bá Rabba ti àwọn ọmọ Ammoni jagun, ó sì gba ìlú ọba wọn.
Meanwhile, Joab fought against Rabbah of the Ammonites and captured the royal fortress.
27 Joabu sì rán àwọn ìránṣẹ́ sí Dafidi, ó sì wí pé, “Èmi ti bá Rabba jà, èmi sì ti gba àwọn ìlú olómi.
Then Joab sent messengers to David to say, “I have fought against Rabbah and have captured the water supply of the city.
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, assemble the rest of the troops, lay siege to the city, and capture it. Otherwise I will capture the city, and it will be named after me.”
29 Dafidi sì kó gbogbo ènìyàn náà jọ, sí Rabba, ó sì bá a jà, ó sì gbà á.
So David assembled all the troops and went to Rabbah; and he fought against it and captured 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.
Then he took the crown from the head of their king. It weighed a talent of gold and was set with precious stones, and it was placed on David’s head. And David took a great amount of plunder from 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.
David brought out the people who were there and put them to work with saws, iron picks, and axes, and he made them work at the brick kilns. He did the same to all the Ammonite cities. Then David and all his troops returned to Jerusalem.
