< II Samuel 12 >

1 Kalpasanna, imbaon ni Yahweh ni Natan a mapan kenni David. Napan isuna kenkuana ket kinunana, “Adda iti dua a lallaki iti maysa a siudad. Ti maysa a lalaki ket nabaknang ken nakurapay ti maysa.
AND the Lord sent Nathan unto David. And he came unto him, and said unto him, There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor.
2 Ti nabaknang ket addaan iti adu a bilang ti arbanna ken tarakenna,
The rich man had exceeding many flocks and herds:
3 ngem ti nakurapay ket awanan malaksid iti maysa nga urbon a kabaian a karnero a ginatangna, pinakanna ken pinadakkelna. Dimmakkel daytoy a kaduana ken dagiti annakna. Makipangan pay ti urbon a karnero kenkuana ken makiinom iti bukodna a baso, maturog kadagiti takkiagna ken daytoy ket kasla iti maysa nga putot a babae kenkuana.
But the poor man had nothing, save one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up: and it grew up together with him, and with his children; it did eat of his own meat, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was unto him as a daughter.
4 Maysa nga aldaw, adda maysa a sangaili ti napan iti nabaknang ngem saan a kayat ti nabaknang a lalaki ti mangala iti ayup manipud iti bukodna nga arban ken taraken tapno itedna a taraon para iti sangalina. Ngem ketdi, innalana ti urbon a kabaian a karnero ti nakurapay sana linuto maipaay iti sangailina.”
And there came a traveller unto the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to dress for the wayfaring man that was come unto him; but took the poor man’s lamb, and dressed it for the man that was come to him.
5 Simged ti unget ni David maibusor iti nabaknang ket nakaluksaw isuna kenni Natan, “Iti nagan ni Yahweh nga adda iti agnanayon, maikari a mapapatay ti lalaki a nangaramid iti daytoy.
And David’s anger was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, As the Lord liveth, the man that hath done this thing shall surely die:
6 Nasken a bayadanna ti urbon a karnero iti maminpat a daras gapu iti kasta nga inaramidna, ken gapu ta awan ti asina iti nakurapay.”
And he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity.
7 Kinuna ni Natan kenni David, “Sika dayta a lalaki! Kinuna ni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel, 'Pinulotanka nga ari iti entero nga Israel, ken inispalka manipud iti ima ni Saul.
And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man. Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul;
8 Intedko kenka ti balay ti amom, ken dagiti assawana kadagiti takkiagmo. Intedko pay ti balay ti Israel ken Juda. Ket no bassit unay dayta, itedko pay kenka dagiti adu a banbanag a nayonna.
And I gave thee thy master’s house, and thy master’s wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things.
9 Apay ngarud a sinalungasingmo dagiti bilbilin ni Yahweh tapno naaramidmo ti dakes iti imatangna? Pinapataymo ni Urias a Heteo babaen iti kampilan ken innalam ti asawana tapno agbalin nga asawam. Pinapataymo isuna babaen ti kampilan ti armada ti Ammon.
Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the Lord, to do evil in his sight? thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.
10 Isu nga ita, saanen a pumanaw ti kampilan iti balaymo, gapu ta sinalungasingnak ken innalam a kas asawa ti asawa ni Urias a Heteo.'
Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife.
11 Kinuna ni Yahweh, 'Kitaem, mangpataudak iti didigra a maibusor kenka manipud iti bukodmo a balay. Iti mismo a sangoanam, alaek dagiti assawam ket itedko ida iti kaarubam, kaiddaennanto dagiti assawam iti tengnga ti aldaw.
Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun.
12 Gapu ta nagbasolka a sililimed, ngem aramidek daytoy a banag iti imatang ti entero nga Israel, iti lawag ti init.'”
For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.
13 Kalpasanna, kinuna ni David kenni Natan, “Nagbasolak kenni Yahweh.” Simmungbat ni Natan kenni David, “Pinalabasen ni Yahweh ti basolmo. Saanka ngarud a mapapatay.
And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the Lord. And Nathan said unto David, The Lord also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die.
14 Nupay kasta, gapu iti daytoy nga aramidmo sinalungasingmo ni Yahweh, awan duadua a matay ti ubing a maipasngay nga anakmo.”
Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die.
15 Kalpasanna, pimmanaw ni Natan ket nagawid. Dinusa ni Yahweh ti anak ti asawa ni Urias nga inyanakna para kenni David, ket nagsakit isuna iti nakaro.
And Nathan departed unto his house. And the Lord struck the child that Uriah’s wife bare unto David, and it was very sick.
16 Nagpakaasi ngarud ni David iti Dios agpaay iti ubing. Nagayunar isuna, simrek iti uneg ket nagpatnag a nagidda iti suelo.
David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth.
17 Timmakder dagiti panglakayen iti balayna ket timmakderda iti abayna a mangibangon kenkuana ngem saan isuna a bimmangon, ken saan a nakipangan kadakuada.
And the elders of his house arose, and went to him, to raise him up from the earth: but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them.
18 Ket dimteng iti maikapito nga aldaw, natay ti ubing. Mabuteng dagiti adipen ni David a mangibaga a natayen ti ubing, ta kinunada, “Kitaenyo, idi sibibiag pay ti ubing kinatungtungtayo isuna, ket saanna nga impangag ti timektayo. Ania ngata ti aramidenna iti bagina no ibagatayo kenkuana a natayen ti ubing?!”
And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead: for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spake unto him, and he would not hearken unto our voice: how will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the child is dead?
19 Ngem idi nakita ni David nga agiinnarasaas dagiti adipenna, naamiris ni David a natayen ti ubing. Kinunana kadagiti adipenna, “Natay kadin ti ubing?” Insungbatda, “Wen apo, natayen isuna.”
But when David saw that his servants whispered, David perceived that the child was dead: therefore David said unto his servants, Is the child dead? And they said, He is dead.
20 Timmakder ngarud ni David manipud iti datar sa nagdigos, sinapsappoanna ti lana ti bagina, ket nagsukat iti badona. Napan isuna iti tabernakulo ni Yahweh ket nagdayaw sadiay, sa nagsubli iti bukodna a palasio. Idi nagdawat isuna iti makan, nagidasarda para kenkuana, ket nangan isuna.
Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his apparel, and came into the house of the Lord, and worshipped: then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set bread before him, and he did eat.
21 Ket kinuna dagiti adipenna kenkuana, “Apo, apay a kastoy ti inaramidmo? Nagayunar ken nagdung-awka para iti ubing idi sibibiag pay isuna, ngem idi natayen ti ubing, bimmangonka ket nanganka.”
Then said his servants unto him, What thing is this that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, while it was alive; but when the child was dead, thou didst rise and eat bread.
22 Simmungbat ni David, “Idi sibibiag pay iti ubing, nagayunar ken nagdung-awak. Kinunak, 'Siasino ti makaammo no paraburannak ni Yahweh wenno saan, tapno agbiag ti ubing?'
And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who can tell whether God will be gracious to me, that the child may live?
23 Ngem ita, natayen isuna isu nga apay pay nga agayunarak? Maisublik pay kadi isuna? Mapanakto kenkuana ngem saanen isuna nga agsubli kaniak.”
But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.
24 Liniwliwa ni David ni Batseba nga asawana, napan kenkuana, ket nakikaidda isuna kenkuana. Isu a naganak ni Batseba iti maysa a lalaki, ket pinanagananna ti ubing iti Solomon. Inay-ayat ni Yahweh ti ubing,
And David comforted Bath-sheba his wife, and went in unto her, and lay with her: and she bare a son, and he called his name Solomon: and the Lord loved him.
25 isu a nangipatulod isuna iti sao babaen kenni Natan a propeta tapno panagananna isuna ti Jedidia, gapu ta inay-ayat ni Yahweh ti ubing.
And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet; and he called his name Jedidiah, because of the Lord.
26 Ita, ginubat ni Joab ti Rabba, ti kangrunaan a siudad dagiti tattao ti Ammon, ket nasakupna dagiti sarikedkedna.
And Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city.
27 Isu a nangibaon ni Joab kadagiti mensahero kenni David ket kinunana, “Ginubatko ti Rabba ket naalak ti pagtataudan ti danum ti siudad.
And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbah, and have taken the city of waters.
28 Isu nga ita, ummongem dagiti nabatbati iti armada, pagkampoem maibusor iti siudad ket alaem daytoy gapu ta no maalak ti siudad, maipanaganto daytoy kaniak.”
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 after my name.
29 Isu nga inummong ni David amin nga armada ket napanda idiay Rabba; nakigubat isuna maibusor iti siudad ket nasakupna daytoy.
And David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it.
30 Innala ni David ti korona ni Molec manipud iti ulona-maysa a talento a balitok ti dagsenna, ken adda napateg a bato iti daytoy. Naiparabaw ti korona iti ulo ni David. Kalpasanna, innalana nga inruar iti siudad ti dakkel a kantidad ti nasamsamda.
And he took their king’s crown from off his head, the weight whereof was a talent of gold with the precious stones: and it was set on David’s head. And he brought forth the spoil of the city in great abundance.
31 Pinaruarna dagiti tattao iti siudad ken pinilitna ida nga agragadi, aggabyon, ken agbalsig; pinagtrabadona pay ida iti pagaramidan ti ladrilio. Pinilit ni David dagiti amin a siudad dagiti tattao a taga-Amnon a trabahoen daytoy. Kalpasanna, nagsubli ni David ken ti amin nga armada iti Jerusalem.
And he brought forth the people that were therein, and put them under saws, and under harrows of iron, and under axes of iron, and made them pass through the brickkiln: and thus did he unto all the cities of the children of Ammon. So David and all the people returned unto Jerusalem.
