Luo Samuel 12
1 LEUM GOD El supwalla mwet palu Nathan nu yorol David. Na Nathan el som ac fahk nu sel, “Oasr mwet luo muta in siti sefanna. Sie seltal kasrup, a ma se ngia sukasrup.
And the Lord sent Nathan to David: and when he was come to him, he said to him: There were two men in one city, the one rich, and the other poor.
2 Mwet se ma kasrup ah, pukanten sheep ac cow natul,
The rich man had exceeding many sheep and oxen.
3 a mwet se ma sukasrup ah, sheep fusr sokofanna natul, ma el tuh molela. El karinganang sheep fusr soko ah in lohm sel sifacna, ac el wi na tulik natul ah kapak. Mukul sac el kital ke mongo nal sifacna, ac sang el nimnim ke cup na lal, ac el muta sruokol finyepal. El oakoaki sheep fusr soko ah oana in tulik mutan se natul.
But the poor man had nothing at all but one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up, and which had grown up in his house together with his children, eating of his bread, and drinking of his cup, and sleeping in his bosom: and it was unto him as a daughter.
4 Sie len ah mwet fufahsryesr se tuku nu in lohm sin mwet kasrup sac. Na mwet kasrup sac tia lungse uniya soko sin kosro natul ah in orala sie mongo ah nal, a el usla sheep fusr soko nutin mwet sukasrup sac ac sang orala mongo se nu sin mwet mutwata se lal ah.”
And when a certain stranger was come to the rich man, he spared to take of his own sheep and oxen, to make a feast for that stranger, who was come to him, but took the poor man’s ewe, and dressed it for the man that was come to him.
5 David el arulana kasrkusrak sin mwet kasrup sac, ac fahk, “Nga fulahk Inen LEUM GOD moul, lah fal na mwet se ma orala ma se inge in misa!
And David’s anger being exceedingly kindled against that man, he said to Nathan: As the Lord liveth, the man that hath done this is a child of death.
6 Ke sripen lumah na sulallal se el oru ingan, el enenu na elan akfalye molin ma el eisla pacl akosr yohk liki!”
He shall restore the ewe fourfold, because he did this thing, and had no pity.
7 Nathan el fahk nu sel David, “Kom pa mwet sac! Na pa inge ma LEUM GOD lun Israel El fahk: ‘Nga oru tuh kom in tokosra lun Israel, ac nga molikomla lukel Saul.
And Nathan said to David: Thou art the man. Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee from the hand of Saul,
8 Nga sot tokosrai lal ac mutan kial nu sum, ac nga oru tuh kom in tokosra lun Israel ac Judah. Funu sufalla ma inge, nga lukun sot pacl luo yohk liki na.
And gave thee thy master’s house and thy master’s wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and Juda: and if these things be little, I shall add far greater things unto thee.
9 Na efu kom ku seakos ma nga sapkin uh? Efu kom ku oru ma koluk se inge? Kom oru Uriah elan anwuki ke mweun ah — kom lela tuh mwet Ammon ah in unilya, na kom eisla mutan kial ah!
Why therefore hast thou despised the word of the Lord, to do evil in my sight? Thou hast killed Urias the Hethite 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 Inge, in fwil nukewa tok uh, kutu sin tulik nutum uh ac fah misa ke ouiyen misa na keok mweyen kom tuh seakosyu ac eisla mutan kial Uriah ah.
Therefore the sword shall never depart from thy house, because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Urias the Hethite to be thy wife.
11 Nga fulahk nu sum lah nga ac oru tuh sie mwet in sou lom sifacna in pwanma mwe tukulkul nu fom. Kom ac fah liye ke nga ac eisla mutan kiom an ac sang nu sin sie pacna mukul, ac el ac fah oan yorolos ye mutun mwet uh.
Thus saith the Lord: Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thy own house, and I will take thy wives before thy eyes I and give them to thy neighhour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun.
12 Kom tuh oru ma koluk yen lukma, a nga ac fah oru tuh ma inge in sikyak yen na kalem, tuh mwet Israel nukewa in liye.’”
For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing in the sight of all Israel, and in the sight of the sun.
13 David el fahk, “Nga orekma koluk lain LEUM GOD.” Ac Nathan el fahk, “LEUM GOD El nunak munas nu sum. Kom ac tia misa.
And David said to Nathan: I have sinned against the Lord. And Nathan said to David: The Lord also hath taken away thy sin: thou shalt not die.
14 Tusruktu, ke sripen kom tuh arulana pilesru LEUM GOD ac oru ma inge uh, tulik se nutum inge ac misa.”
Nevertheless, because thou hast given occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme, for this thing, the child that is born to thee, shall surely die.
15 Na Nathan el som nu lohm sel ah. LEUM GOD El oru tuh tulik se mutan kial Uriah ah oswela nu sel David in arulana mas.
And Nathan returned to his house. The Lord also struck the child which the wife of Urias had borne to David, and his life was despaired of.
16 David el pre nu sin God tulik sac in kwela. El tiana lungse mongo, ac fong nukewa el ac utyak nu infukil sel ac motullana in fohk uh.
And David besought the Lord for the child: and David kept a fast, and going in by himself lay upon the ground.
17 Mwet pwapa fulat lal ac som nu yorol ac srike in oru elan tukakek tuh el srangesr, ac el tia pac lungse mongo yorolos.
And the ancients of his house came, to make him rise from the ground: but he would not, neither did he eat meat with them.
18 Wik se tok ah tulik sac misa, ac mwet pwapa lal ah sangeng in fahk nu sel. Elos mu, “Ke pacl se tulik sac srakna moul, David el tia lungse topuk kut ke kut kaskas nu sel uh. Kut ac fahk fuka lah tulik se natul ah misa? Kut sensen el ac oru sie ma upa nu sel sifacna!”
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 when the child was yet alive, we spoke to him, and he would not hearken to our voice: how much more will he afflict himself if we tell him that the child is dead?
19 Ke David el liye lah elos mahma nu sin sie sin sie, el akilen lah tulik sac misa. Na el siyuk selos, “Ku tulik sac misa?” Ac elos fahk, “Aok, el misa.”
But when David saw his servants whispering, he understood that the child was dead: and he said to his servants: Is the child dead? They answered him: He is dead.
20 David el tukakek liki infohk uh, ac el yihla, ayaolla, ac kawia sifal. Na el som nu in lohm sin LEUM GOD ac alu. Ke el folokla nu lohm sel ah, el siyukyuk mongo, ac pacl se na itukyang nu sel el mutawauk mongo.
Then David arose from the ground, and washed and anointed himself: and when he had changed his apparel, he went into the house of the Lord: and worshipped, and then he came into his own house, and he called for bread, and ate.
21 Mwet pwapa lal ah fahk nu sel, “Kut tiana kalem ke ma kom oru inge. Ke tulik sac srakna moul ah, kom tung kacl ac srunga mongo. Na inge el tufahna misa a kom tukakek ac mongo!”
And his servants said to 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 up, and eat bread.
22 David el topuk ac fahk, “Aok, nga tuh lalo ac tung ke tulik sac srakna moul. Nga tuh nunku mu sahp LEUM GOD El ac pakoten nu sik, ac tia lela tulik sac in misa.
And he said: While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept for him: for I said: Who knoweth whether the Lord may not give him to me, and the child may live?
23 A inge, ke el misa tari, efu ku ngan lalo? Ya nga ku in folokonma tulik sac elan moulyak? Sie len nga ac fah som nu yen el oasr we, tuh el tia ku in foloko nu yuruk.”
But now that he is dead, why should I fast? Shall I be able to bring him back any more? I shall go to him rather: but he shall not return to me.
24 Na David el akpwaryal Bathsheba, mutan kial, ac el oan yorol, na mutan sac el oswela sie wen, ac David el sang inel Solomon. LEUM GOD El lungse tulik mukul sac,
And David comforted Bethsabee his wife, and went in unto her, and slept with her: I and she bore a son, and he called his name Solomon, and the Lord loved him.
25 ac El sapkin nu sel Nathan, mwet palu, elan sang inen tulik mukul sac Jedidiah, mweyen LEUM GOD El lungse el.
And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and called his name, Amiable to the Lord, because the Lord loved him.
26 In pacl se inge Joab el srakna mweun lain acn Rabbah, su siti fulat lun acn Ammon, ac el apkuran in sruokya.
And Joab fought against Rabbath of the children of Ammon, and laid close siege to the royal city.
27 El supwala mwet utuk kas in tuh fahk nu sel David, “Nga utyak ac mweuni acn Rabbah, ac nga sruokya tari acn se kof lalos ah tuku we me.
And Joab sent messengers to David, saying: I have fought against Rabbath, and the city of waters is about to be taken.
28 Inge kom orani mwet mweun lula lom an, ac fahsru nu Rabbah, kom in sifacna sruokya siti uh. Nga tia lungse in fwack mu nga pa eisla uh.”
Now therefore gather thou the rest of the people together, and besiege the city and take it: lest when the city shall be wasted by me, the victory be ascribed to my name.
29 Ouinge David el orani mwet mweun lal ac som nu Rabbah. El mweuni acn we ac kutangla.
Then David gathered all the people together, and went out against Rabbath: and after fighting, he took it.
30 David el eisla tefuro gold se liki sifen ma sruloala se pangpang Molech, god lun mwet Ammon. Toasriyen tefuro sac akuran paun itngoul limekosr. Oasr sie eot saok kac, su David el eisla sang nu ke tefuro lal sifacna. El oayapa usla ma wap pukanten liki siti sac.
And he took the crown of their king from his head, the weight of which was a talent of gold, set with most precious stones, and it was put upon David’s head, and the spoils of the city which were very great he carried away.
31 El sap mwet we ah in fahsr orekma ke tahta, ac mwe pukpuk osra, oayapa tuhla osra, ac el akkohsyelos in orek brick. El oayapa oru lumah se inge nu sin mwet in siti srisrik nukewa in acn Ammon. Na el, ac mwet lal ah, folokla nu Jerusalem.
And bringing forth the people thereof he sawed them, and drove over them chariots armed with iron: and divided them with knives, and made them pass through brickkilns: so did he to all the cities of the children of Ammon: and David returned, with all the army to Jerusalem.
