< 2 Samuel 12 >

1 And the Lord sent Nathan to David. And Nathan came to him and said, There were two men in the same town: one a man of great wealth, and the other a poor man.
Ary Jehovah naniraka an’ i Natana hankao amin’ i Davida. Ary dia tonga tao aminy izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Nisy olona roa lahy tao an-tanàna anankiray, ny iray manan-karena, ary ny iray malahelo.
2 The man of wealth had great numbers of flocks and herds;
Ilay manan-karena nanana ondry aman’ osy sy omby betsaka;
3 But the poor man had only one little she-lamb, which he had got and taken care of: from its birth it had been with him like one of his children; his meat was its food, and from his cup it took its drink, resting in his arms, and it was like a daughter to him.
fa ilay malahelo kosa tsy nanana na inona na inona afa-tsy zanak’ ondry vavy kely iray monja izay novidiny; ary nokolokoloiny tsara io ka nitombo teo aminy sy ny zanany; fa tamin’ ny hanin-kelin-dralehilahy no nihinanany, ary tamin’ ny kapoakany no nisotroany, sady notrotroiny teo an-tratrany izy ka nataony toy ny zananivavy.
4 Now a traveller came to the house of the man of wealth, but he would not take anything from his flock or his herd to make a meal for the traveller who had come to him, but he took the poor man's lamb and made it ready for the man who had come.
Ary nisy vahiny tonga tao amin’ ilay manan-karena, nefa ny ondriny aman’ osiny sy ny ombiny notsitsiny ka tsy nangalany hatao nahandro ho an’ ilay vahiny tonga tao aminy; fa ny zanak’ ondry vavin’ ilay malahelo kosa no nalainy, ka dia nataony nahandro ho an’ ilay olona tonga tao aminy.
5 And David was full of wrath against that man; and he said to Nathan, By the living Lord, death is the right punishment for the man who has done this:
Dia nirehitra mafy ny fahatezeran’ i Davida tamin’ izany olona izany, ka hoy izy tamin’ i Natana: Raha velona koa Jehovah, tsy maintsy hatao maty izay olona nanao izany;
6 And he will have to give back four times the value of the lamb, because he has done this and because he had no pity.
ary ilay zanak’ ondry vavy tsy maintsy honerany efatra heny noho ny nanaovany izany zavatra izany sy noho ny tsy namindrany fo.
7 And Nathan said to David, You are that man. The Lord God of Israel says, I made you king over Israel, putting holy oil on you, and I kept you safe from the hands of Saul;
Dia hoy Natana tamin’ i Davida: Hianao no izy. Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Izaho nanosotra anao ho mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely ka namonjy anao ho afaka tamin’ ny tànan’ i Saoly;
8 I gave you your master's daughter and your master's wives for yourself, and I gave you the daughters of Israel and Judah; and if that had not been enough, I would have given you such and such things.
ary nomeko anao ny tranon’ ny tomponao sy ny vadin’ ny tomponao ho andefimandrinao, ary nomeko anao koa ny firenen’ Isiraely sy Joda; ary raha mbola tsy ampy ho anao izany, dia ho nomeko bebe kokoa ianao;
9 Why then have you had no respect for the word of the Lord, doing what is evil in his eyes? You have put Uriah the Hittite to death with the sword, and have taken his wife to be your wife; you have put him to death with the sword of the children of Ammon.
koa nahoana ianao no nanamavo ny tenin’ i Jehovah ka nanao izay ratsy eo imasony? Oria Hetita nasianao ny sabatra, ary ny vadiny nalainao ho vadinao. Eny, efa novonoinao tamin’ ny sabatry ny taranak’ i Amona izy.
10 So now the sword will never be turned away from your family; because you have had no respect for me, and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife.
Koa noho izany dia tsy hiala amin’ ny taranakao mandrakizay kosa ny sabatra, satria nanamavo Ahy ianao ka naka ny vadin’ i Oria Hetita ho vadinao.
11 The Lord says, From those of your family I will send evil against you, and before your very eyes I will take your wives and give them to your neighbour, and he will take your wives to his bed by the light of this sun.
Izao koa no lazain’ i Jehovah: Indro, Izaho efa hahatonga loza aminao avy ao amin’ ny ankohonanao ihany; ary hesoriko eo imasonao ny vadinao ka homeko ny namanao; ary izy handry amin’ ny vadinao amin’ izao antoandrobenanahary izao.
12 You did it secretly; but I will do this thing before all Israel and in the light of the sun.
Fa ianao nanao izany tao amin’ ny mangingina, ary Izaho kosa haneho izany zavatra izany eo anatrehan’ ny Isiraely rehetra sy amin’ izao antoandrobenanahary izao.
13 And David said to Nathan, Great is my sin against the Lord. And Nathan said to David, The Lord has put away your sin; death will not come on you.
Dia hoy Davida tamin’ i Natana: Efa nanota tamin’ i Jehovah aho. Ary hoy kosa atana tamin’ i Davida: Jehovah efa nanaisotra ny helokao, ka tsy ho faty ianao.
14 But still, because you have had no respect for the Lord, death will certainly overtake the child who has newly come to birth.
Nefa noho ny nampitenenanao ratsy ny fahavalon’ i Jehovah amin’ izany zavatra izany dia ho faty tokoa ny zaza izay haterakao.
15 Then Nathan went back to his house. And the hand of the Lord was on David's son, the child of Uriah's wife, and it became very ill.
Ary Natana nody tany an-tranony. Ary Jehovah namely ny zaza izay nateraky ny vadin’ i Oria tamin’ i Davida, ka dia narary be ny zaza.
16 So David made prayer to God for the child; and he took no food day after day, and went in and, stretching himself out on the earth, was there all night.
Ary nifona tamin’ Andriamanitra ho an’ ny zaza Davida, dia nifady hanina sady niditra ka nandry tamin’ ny tany mandritra ny alina.
17 And the chief men of his house got up and went to his side to make him get up from the earth, but he would not; and he would not take food with them.
Ary ny loholona tao an-tranony nitsangana nankao aminy hampiarina azy amin’ ny tany; nefa tsy nety izy sady tsy nety niara-nihinan-kanina taminy.
18 And then on the seventh day the child's death took place. And David's servants were in fear of giving him the news of the child's death: for they said, Truly, while the child was still living he gave no attention when we said anything to him: what will he do to himself if we give him word that the child is dead?
Ary nony nandray hafitoana, dia maty ny zaza; ary ny mpanompon’ i Davida natahotra hilaza ny nahafatesan’ ny zaza aminy, fa hoy ireo: Indro, fony mbola velona aza ny zaza, raha niteny taminy isika, dia tsy nohenoiny ny feontsika, koa hataontsika ahoana no filaza aminy ny fahafatesan’ ny zaza? fandrao hanimba tena izy.
19 But when David saw that his servants were talking together quietly, he was certain that the child was dead: and he said to his servants, Is the child dead? and they said, He is.
Ary nony hitan’ i Davida fa nitakoritsika ny mpanompony, dia fantany fa maty ny zaza; ka hoy izy tamin’ ny mpanompony: Maty va ny zaza? Ary hoy ireo: Maty.
20 Then David got up from the earth, and after washing and rubbing himself with oil and changing his clothing, he went into the house of the Lord and gave worship: then he went back to his house, and at his order they put food before him and he had a meal.
Dia niarina tsy nandry tamin’ ny tany intsony Davida ary nandro sy nihosotra diloilo ary nanova ny fitafiany, dia nankao amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah ka niankohoka; ary dia nody tany an-tranony izy ka niantso mba hisy handroso hanina eo anoloany, dia nihinana izy.
21 Then his servants said to him, Why have you been acting in this way? you were weeping and going without food while the child was still living; but when the child was dead, you got up and had a meal.
Ary hoy ny mpanompony taminy: Ahoana izao zavatra nataonao izao? Fa fony mbola velona ny zaza, dia nifady hanina sy nitomany ianao, fa rehefa maty ny zaza, dia niarina sy nihinan-kanina kosa.
22 And he said, While the child was still living I went without food and gave myself up to weeping: for I said, Who is able to say that the Lord will not have mercy on me and give the child life?
Ary hoy izy: Fony mbola velona ny zaza, dia nifady hanina sy nitomany tokoa aho: fa hoy izaho: Iza moa no mahalala na mba hamindra fo amiko Jehovah ka hahavelona ny zaza, na tsia?
23 But now that the child is dead there is no reason for me to go without food; am I able to make him come back to life? I will go to him, but he will never come back to me.
Kanjo maty izy izao, ka nahoana aho no hifady hanina intsony? Mahay mampiverina azy va aho? Izaho no hankany aminy, fa izy tsy hiverina etỳ amiko intsony.
24 And David gave comfort to his wife Bath-sheba, and he went in to her and had connection with her: and she had a son to whom she gave the name Solomon. And he was dear to the Lord.
Ary Davida nampionona an’ i Batseba vadiny, dia niditra tao aminy ka nandry taminy; ary niteraka zazalahy izy, ka ny anarany nataony hoe Solomona. Ary Jehovah tia azy,
25 And he sent word by Nathan the prophet, who gave him the name Jedidiah, by the word of the Lord.
dia naniraka an’ i Natana mpaminany ka nanao ny anaran’ ny zaza hoe Jedidia noho ny amin’ i Jehovah.
26 Now Joab was fighting against Rabbah, in the land of the children of Ammon, and he took the water-town.
Ary Joaba namely an’ i Raban’ ny taranak’ i Amona ka nahafaka ny tanànan’ ny mpanjaka.
27 And Joab sent men to David, saying, I have made war against Rabbah and have taken the water-town.
Ary Joaba naniraka olona tany amin’ i Davida nanao hoe: Namely an’ i Raba aho ka nahafaka ny tanàna misy rano.
28 So now, get the rest of the people together, and put them in position against the town and take it, for if I take it, it will be named after my name.
Koa vorio ny olona sisa izao, ka mitobia hamely ny tanàna, ary aoka ho afakao izy; fandrao izaho no hahafaka ny tanàna, ka dia hotononina araka ny anarako izy.
29 Then David got all the people together and went to Rabbah and made war on it and took it.
Ary Davida namory ny vahoaka rehetra, dia nankany Raba ka namely azy ary nahafaka azy.
30 And he took the crown of Milcom from his head; the weight of it was a talent of gold, and in it were stones of great price; and it was put on David's head. And he took a great store of goods from the town.
Dia nesoriny ny satro-boninahitr’ ilay mpanjaka teny an-dohany talenta volamena iray no lanjany, sady nisy vato soa, ary dia nisatrohan’ i Davida. Ary navoakany tao an-tanàna ny babo azo, ka be dia be ireny.
31 And he took the people out of the town and put them to work with wood-cutting instruments, and iron grain-crushers, and iron axes, and at brick-making: this he did to all the towns of the children of Ammon. Then David and all the people went back to Jerusalem.
Ary dia navoakany koa ny olona teo ka nataony teo amin’ ny tsofa sy ny fangao-by lehibe ary ny famaky vy, ary nataony tao anatin’ ny fandoroam-biriky; toy izany no nataony tamin’ ny tanànan’ ny taranak’ i Amona rehetra. Ary Davida sy ny vahoaka rehetra dia niverina nankany Jerosalema.
