2 Samuel 12
1 Then the Lord sent Nathan vnto Dauid, who came to him, and sayd vnto him, There were two men in one citie, the one riche, and the other poore.
Ya mere, Onyenwe anyị zigara Netan ka o jekwuru Devid. Mgbe Netan bịakwutere Devid, ọ kọọrọ ya akụkọ a, “E nwere ndị ikom abụọ bi nʼotu obodo, otu bụ ọgaranya ma nke ọzọ bụ ogbenye.
2 The rich man had exceeding many sheepe and oxen:
Onye ọgaranya a nwere ọtụtụ igwe atụrụ na igwe ehi.
3 But the poore had none at all, saue one litle sheepe which he had bought, and nourished vp: and it grew vp with him, and with his children also, and did eate of his owne morsels, and dranke of his owne cup, and slept in his bosome, and was vnto him as his daughter.
Ma nwoke ogbenye ahụ enweghị ihe ọbụla karịa otu nwa nne atụrụ nta nke ọ zụtara. Ọ zụlitere ya, o tolite nʼetiti ya na ụmụ ya. Ọ na-eri nri site na ihe oriri ya, na-aṅụ mmiri site nʼiko mmiri ya, nʼobi ya ka ọ na-edinakwa. Ọ nọ ọnọdụ dịka nwa nwanyị nye ya.
4 Now there came a stranger vnto the rich man, who refused to take of his owne sheepe, and of his owne oxen to dresse for the stranger that was come vnto him, but tooke the poore mans sheepe, and dressed it for the man that was come to him.
“Otu ụbọchị, onye ọbịa bịara nʼụlọ onye ọgaranya ahụ. Ma kama ọgaranya ahụ ga-ewere otu atụrụ maọbụ ehi nke ya siere onye ọbịa ya nri, ọ gara were nne atụrụ ogbenye ahụ, gbuo ya, jiri ya siere ọbịa ya nri.”
5 Then Dauid was exceeding wroth with the man, and sayde to Nathan, As the Lord liueth, the man that hath done this thing, shall surely dye,
Devid were oke iwe megide nwoke ahụ, ọ sịrị Netan, “Ana m aṅụ iyi nʼaha Onyenwe anyị dị ndụ na onye mere ihe dị otu a aghaghị ịnwụ!
6 And he shall restore the lambe foure folde, because he did this thing, and had no pitie thereof.
Ọ ga-ejikwa nwa atụrụ okpukpu anọ kwụghachi ogbenye ahụ ụgwọ otu atụrụ ahụ o weere, nʼihi na onye ọgaranya ahụ egosighị na o nwere obi ebere ọbụla.”
7 Then Nathan sayd to Dauid, Thou art the man. Thus sayth the Lord God of Israel, I anoynted thee King ouer Israel, and deliuered thee out of the hand of Saul,
Mgbe ahụ, Netan sịrị Devid, “Ọ bụ gị bụ nwoke ahụ! Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Izrel sịrị, ‘Mụ onwe m tere gị mmanụ ịbụ eze Izrel, mụ onwe m napụtakwara gị site nʼaka Sọl.
8 And gaue thee thy lordes house, and thy lords wiues into thy bosome, and gaue thee the house of Israel, and of Iudah, and would moreouer (if that had bene too litle) haue giuen thee such and such things.
Enyere m gị ụlọ nna gị ukwu, nyefekwa ndị inyom nna gị ukwu nʼaka gị, na alaeze Izrel na Juda, ka ha bụrụ nke gị. Ma ọ bụrụ na nke a ezughị, agaara m atụkwasịrị gị ihe ndị a niile okpukpu okpukpu.
9 Wherefore hast thou despised the commandement of the Lord, to doe euill in his sight? thou hast killed Vriah the Hittite with ye sworde, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slaine him with the sworde of the children of Ammon.
Gịnị mere i ji lelịa okwu Onyenwe anyị anya, mee ihe a jọgburu onwe ya? Nʼihi na i jirila mma agha gbuo Ụraya onye Het, zurukwa nwunye ya nʼohi. Ọ bụkwa mma agha ndị Amọn ka i ji gbuo ya.
10 Now therefore the sworde shall neuer depart from thine house, because thou hast despised me, and taken the wife of Vriah the Hittite to be thy wife.
Ya mere, nʼihi ihe a i mere, mma agha agaghị esi nʼezinaụlọ gị pụọ, nʼihi na i ledara m anya kpọrọ nwunye Ụraya onye Het ka ọ bụrụ nwunye gị.’
11 Thus sayth the Lord, Behold, I will rayse vp euil against thee out of thine owne house, and will take thy wiues before thine eyes, and giue them vnto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wiues in the sight of this sunne.
“Ihe a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, ‘Aga m eme ka ihe ọjọọ si nʼezinaụlọ gị bilie megide gị. Nʼihu gị ka m ga-eduru ndị nwunye gị dunye otu onye dị gị nnọọ nso, ya na ha ga-edinakọ nʼehihie ọcha, nʼihu ndị Izrel niile.
12 For thou diddest it secretly: but I will doe this thing before all Israel, and before the sunne.
I mere mmehie gị na nzuzo, ma aga m eme nke a na mbara, nʼihu Izrel niile.’”
13 Then Dauid sayde vnto Nathan, I haue sinned against the Lord. And Nathan sayde vnto Dauid, The Lord also hath put away thy sinne, thou shalt not die.
Mgbe ahụ, Devid sịrị Netan, “Emehiela m megide Onyenwe anyị.” Netan zara sị ya, “Onyenwe anyị nʼonwe ya agbagharakwala gị mmehie gị, ị gaghị anwụ.
14 Howbeit because by this deede thou hast caused the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme, the childe that is borne vnto thee shall surely die.
Ma nʼihi na i meela ka ndị iro Onyenwe anyị nwe ohere ikwulu na ilelị ya anya, nwa nwoke ahụ amụụrụ gị ga-anwụ.”
15 So Nathan departed vnto his house: and the Lord stroke the childe that Vriahs wife bare vnto Dauid, and it was sicke.
Mgbe Netan lara, Onyenwe anyị mere ka nwantakịrị ahụ nwunye Ụraya mụụrụ Devid daa ọrịa.
16 Dauid therefore besought God for the childe, and fasted and went in, and lay all night vpon the earth.
Devid rịọrọ Chineke arịrịọ banyere nwantakịrị ahụ. O buru ọnụ, dinaa nʼala efu abalị ahụ niile nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.
17 Then the Elders of his house arose to come vnto him, and to cause him to rise from the groud: but he would not, neither did he eate meate with them.
Emesịa, ndị okenye ụlọ ya rịọrọ Devid ka o bilie rie nri, ma ọ jụrụ iri ihe ọbụla.
18 So on the seuenth day the child dyed: and the seruants of Dauid feared to tell him that the childe was dead: for they sayde, Beholde, while the childe was aliue, we spake vnto him, and he woulde not hearken vnto our voyce: how then shall we say vnto him, The childe is dead, to vexe him more?
Nʼụbọchị nke asaa, nwantakịrị ahụ nwụrụ. Mgbe ahụ, ndị na-ejere Devid ozi tụrụ egwu otu ha ga-esi gwa ya na nwantakịrị ahụ anwụọla. Nʼihi na ha kwuru nʼime onwe ha sị, “Mgbe nwantakịrị ahụ ka dị ndụ, anyị gwara ya okwu ma o geghị anyị ntị. Anyị ga-esi aṅaa gwa ya na nwantakịrị ahụ anwụọla? O nwere ike imerụ onwe ya ahụ.”
19 But when Dauid sawe that his seruantes whispered, Dauid perceiued that the childe was dead: therefore Dauid sayde vnto his seruants, Is the childe dead? And they sayd, He is dead.
Mgbe Devid hụrụ na ha na-ekwurịta okwu nʼetiti onwe ha na nzuzo; ọ matara na nwa ahụ anwụọla. Ọ jụrụ ha sị, “Nwata ahụ ọ nwụọla?” Ha zara sị ya, “E, ọ nwụọla!”
20 Then Dauid arose from the earth, and washed and anoynted himselfe, and changed his apparell, and came into the house of the Lord, and worshipped, and afterward came to his owne house, and bade that they should set bread before him, and he did eate.
Mgbe ahụ, Devid sitere nʼala ebe o dina, bilie, saa ahụ, gbanwee uwe ya, baa nʼụlọ Onyenwe anyị, kpọọrọ ya isiala. Ọ lọghachiri nʼụlọ ya nye iwu ka e wetara ya ihe oriri. O rikwara nri.
21 Then saide his seruants vnto him, What thing is this, that thou hast done? thou diddest fast and weepe for the childe while it was aliue, but when the childe was dead, thou diddest rise vp, and eate meate.
O juru ndị na-ejere ya ozi anya, nʼihi ya ha jụrụ ya ajụjụ si, “Gịnị mere i ji eme omume dị otu a? Mgbe nwantakịrị ahụ nọ ndụ, i buru ọnụ, kwaakwa akwa, ma ugbu a, nwa ahụ anwụọla, ị kwụsịla iru ụjụ. Ugbu a, ị biliela na-erikwa nri.”
22 And he sayde, While the childe was yet aliue, I fasted, and wept: for I sayde, Who can tell whether God will haue mercy on me, that the childe may liue?
Devid zara ha sị, “Eburu m ọnụ, kwaakwa akwa mgbe nwa ahụ nọ ndụ, nʼihi na ekwuru m sị, ‘ma eleghị anya, Onyenwe anyị ga-enwe ọmịiko nʼebe m nọ mee ka nwa ahụ dị ndụ.’
23 But now being dead, wherefore shoulde I now fast? Can I bring him againe any more? I shall goe to him, but he shall not returne to me.
Ma ugbu a ọ nwụrụ, gịnịkwa ka m nwere dịka uru ibu ọnụ ọzọ? M pụrụ ime ka ọ dị ndụ ọzọ? Aga m alakwuru ya, ma ọ gaghị alaghachikwutekwa m.”
24 And Dauid comforted Bath-sheba his wife, and went in vnto her, and lay with her, and she bare a sonne, and he called his name Salomon: also the Lord loued him.
Devid kasiri Batsheba nwunye ya obi, emesịa, mgbe ya na ya dinakọrọ, ọ tụụrụ ime ọzọ mụọ nwa nwoke onye ha kpọrọ aha ya Solomọn. Ma Onyenwe anyị hụrụ nwantakịrị ahụ nʼanya.
25 For the Lord had sent by Nathan the Prophet: therefore he called his name Iedidiah, because the Lord loued him.
O zigara ozi site nʼaka Netan, onye amụma, ka a gụọ ya Jedidaya nʼihi Onyenwe anyị.
26 Then Ioab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and tooke the citie of the kingdome.
Nʼoge a, Joab busoro Raba obodo ndị Amọn agha dọta isi obodo eze ha nʼagha.
27 Therefore Ioab sent messengers to Dauid, saying, I haue fought against Rabbah, and haue taken the citie of waters.
Joab zigara Devid ozi sị ya, “Ebuola m agha megide Raba dọta isi mmiri ọṅụṅụ ya nʼagha.
28 Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and besiege the city, that thou mayest take it, lest the victorie be attributed to me.
Ugbu a chịkọtaa ndị agha fọdụrụ bịa lụpụchaa agha a, ka ị dọta obodo a nʼagha. Ọ bụrụ na i meghị otu a, aga m adọta obodo a nʼagha, a ga-akpọkwasịkwa ya aha m.”
29 So Dauid gathered al the people together, and went against Rabbah, and besieged it, and tooke it.
Nʼihi nke a, Devid duuru ndị agha Izrel jeruo Raba, buso ya agha, meriekwa ya.
30 And he tooke their Kings crowne from his head, (which weighed a talent of golde, with precious stones) and it was set on Dauids head: and he brought away the spoyle of the citie in exceeding great abundance.
Devid kpupuru okpueze nke dị nʼisi eze ha, e kpunye ya nʼisi nke ya onwe ya. Ịdị arọ nke okpueze ahụ ruru kilogram ọlaedo iri atọ na anọ, nke e ji nkume ndị dị oke ọnụahịa chọọ mma. Devid sitekwara nʼobodo ahụ kwakọrọ ọtụtụ ihe nkwata nʼagha.
31 And he carryed away the people that was therein, and put them vnder sawes, and vnder yron harowes, and vnder axes of yron, and cast them into the tyle kylne: euen thus did he with all the cities of the children of Ammon. Then Dauid and all the people returned vnto Ierusalem.
Ọ kpọpụtara ndị nọ nʼebe ahụ, manye ha nʼịrụ ọrụ nke e ji mma nkwọ e ji awa osisi, na igwe e ji egwu ala na anyụike nʼarụ. O mere ka ha rụọ ọrụ nʼebe a na-akpụ blọk brik. Devid mekwara otu ihe a nʼobodo niile nke ụmụ Amọn. Emesịa, ya na ndị agha ya niile laghachiri na Jerusalem.
