2 Samuel 12
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
12 At sinugo ng Panginoon si Nathan kay David. At siya'y naparoon sa kaniya, at nagsabi sa kaniya, May dalawang lalake sa isang bayan; ang isa ay mayaman at ang isa ay mahirap.
2 Ang mayaman ay mayroon totoong maraming kawan at bakahan:
3 Nguni't ang mahirap ay walang anomang bagay, liban sa isang munting korderong babae, na kaniyang binili at inalagaan: at lumaki sa kaniya, at sa kaniyang mga anak; kumakain ng kaniyang sariling pagkain at umiinom ng kaniyang sariling inumin, at humihiga sa kaniyang sinapupunan, at sa kaniya'y parang isang anak.
4 At naparoon ang isang maglalakbay sa mayaman, at ipinagkait niya ang kaniyang sariling kawan at ang kaniyang sariling bakahan, na ihanda sa naglalakbay na dumating sa kaniya, kundi kinuha ang kordero ng mahirap na lalake, at inihanda sa lalake na dumating sa kaniya.
5 At ang galit ni David ay nagalab na mainam laban sa lalake; at kaniyang sinabi kay Nathan, Buhay ang Panginoon, ang lalake na gumawa nito ay karapatdapat na mamatay:
6 At isinauli ang kordero na may dagdag na apat, sapagka't kaniyang ginawa ang bagay na ito, at sapagka't siya'y hindi naawa.
7 At sinabi ni Nathan kay David, Ikaw ang lalaking yaon. Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, ng Dios ng Israel, Pinahiran kita ng langis na maging hari sa Israel, at aking iniligtas ka sa kamay ni Saul;
8 At ibinigay ko sa iyo ang bahay ng iyong panginoon, at ang mga asawa ng iyong panginoon sa iyong sinapupunan, at ibinigay ko sa iyo ang sangbahayan ng Israel at ng Juda; at kung totoong kakaunti pa ito, ay dadagdagan pa kita ng gayong bagay.
9 Bakit nga iyong niwalang kabuluhan ang salita ng Panginoon, na iyong ginawa ang masama sa kaniyang paningin? iyong sinugatan ng tabak si Uria na Hetheo, at iyong kinuha ang kaniyang asawa upang maging iyong asawa, at iyong pinatay siya ng tabak ng mga anak ni Ammon.
10 Ngayon nga'y ang tabak ay hindi hihiwalay kailan man sa iyong sangbahayan; sapagka't iyong niwalan ng kabuluhan ako, at iyong kinuha ang asawa ni Uria na Hetheo upang maging iyong asawa.
11 Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, Narito, ako'y magtitindig ng kasamaan laban sa iyo na mula sa iyong sariling sangbahayan, at aking kukunin ang iyong mga asawa sa harap ng iyong mga mata, at aking ipagbibigay sa iyong kapuwa, at kaniyang sisipingan ang iyong mga asawa sa sikat ng araw na ito.
12 Sapagka't iyong ginawa na lihim: nguni't aking gagawin ang bagay na ito sa harap ng buong Israel, at sa harap ng araw.
13 At sinabi ni David kay Nathan, Ako'y nagkasala laban sa Panginoon. At sinabi ni Nathan kay David, Inalis din ng Panginoon ang iyong kasalanan; hindi ka mamamatay.
14 Gayon ma'y sapagka't sa gawang ito'y iyong binigyan ng malaking pagkakataon ang mga kaaway ng Panginoon upang magsipanungayaw, ang bata naman na ipinanganak sa iyo ay walang pagsalang mamamatay.
15 At si Nathan ay umuwi sa kaniyang bahay. At sinaktan ng Panginoon ang bata na ipinanganak ng asawa ni Uria kay David, at totoong malubha.
16 Ipinanalangin nga ni David sa Dios ang bata; at si David ay nagaayuno, at pumapasok, at humihiga buong gabi sa lupa.
17 At bumabangon ang mga matanda sa kaniyang bahay, at tumatayo sa siping niya, upang itindig siya sa lupa; nguni't siya'y ayaw kahit kumain ng tinapay na kasalo nila.
18 At nangyari, nang ikapitong araw, na ang bata ay namatay. At nangatakot ang mga lingkod ni David na saysayin sa kaniya na ang bata ay patay na: sapagka't kanilang sinabi, Narito, samantalang ang bata ay buhay pa, tayo ay nakipagsalitaan sa kaniya, at hindi siya nakinig sa ating tinig: gaano ngang ikababagabag niya kung ating sasabihin sa kaniya na ang bata ay patay na?
19 Nguni't nang makita ni David na ang kaniyang mga lingkod ay nagbubulong-bulungan, nahalata ni David na ang bata ay patay na: at sinabi ni David sa kaniyang mga lingkod, Patay na ba ang bata? At kanilang sinabi, Siya'y patay na.
20 Nang magkagayo'y bumangon si David sa lupa at naligo, at nagpahid ng langis, at nagbihis ng kaniyang suot; at siya'y naparoon sa bahay ng Panginoon, at sumamba: saka naparoon siya sa kaniyang sariling bahay; at nang siya'y humingi, hinainan nila ng tinapay siya sa harap, at siya'y kumain.
21 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ng kaniyang mga lingkod sa kaniya, Anong bagay ito na iyong ginawa? ikaw ay nagaayuno at umiiyak dahil sa bata, samantalang siya'y buhay; nguni't nang mamatay ang bata, ikaw ay bumangon at kumain ng tinapay.
22 At kaniyang sinabi, Samantalang ang bata'y buhay pa, ako'y nagaayuno at umiiyak: sapagka't aking sinabi, Sino ang nakakaalam kung maaawa sa akin ang Panginoon, na anopa't ang bata'y mabuhay?
23 Nguni't ngayo'y patay na siya; bakit pa ako magaayuno? Maibabalik ko pa ba siya? Ako'y paroroon sa kaniya, nguni't siya'y hindi babalik sa akin.
24 At inaliw ni David si Bath-sheba na kaniyang asawa, at lumapit sa kaniya, at sumiping sa kaniya: At siya'y nanganak ng isang lalake, at tinawag niya ang kaniyang pangalan na Salomon. At minahal siya ng Panginoon.
25 At nagsugo siya sa pamamagitan ng kamay ni Nathan na propeta, at tinawag niya ang kaniyang pangalan na Jedidiah alang-alang sa Panginoon.
26 Nakipaglaban nga si Joab, sa Rabba sa mga anak ni Ammon, at sinakop ang bayang hari.
27 At nagsugo si Joab ng mga sugo kay David, at nagsabi, Ako'y nakipaglaban sa Rabba, oo, aking sinakop ang bayan ng mga bukal ng tubig.
28 Ngayon nga'y pisanin mo ang nalabi sa bayan, at humantong ka laban sa bayan, at sakupin mo: baka aking sakupin ang bayan, at tawagin ayon sa aking pangalan.
29 At pinisan ni David ang buong bayan, at naparoon sa Rabba, at bumaka laban doon, at sinakop.
30 At inalis ang putong ng kanilang hari sa kaniyang ulo: at ang bigat niyaon ay isang talentong ginto, at may mga mahalagang bato; at ipinutong sa ulo ni David. At siya'y naglabas ng samsam sa bayan na totoong marami.
31 At kaniyang inilabas ang bayan na nandoon, at inilagay sa ilalim ng mga lagari, at ng mga suyod na bakal, at ng mga palakol na bakal, at mga pinaraan sa mga lutuan ng laryo: at gayon ang ginawa niya sa lahat ng mga bayan ng mga anak ni Ammon. At si David at ang buong bayan ay bumalik sa Jerusalem.
2 Samuel 12
King James Version
12 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 The rich man had exceeding many flocks and herds:
3 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 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 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 And he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity.
7 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 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 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 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 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 For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.
13 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 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 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 David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth.
17 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 And David comforted Bathsheba 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 And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet; and he called his name Jedidiah, because of the Lord.
26 And Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city.
27 And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbah, and have taken the city of waters.
28 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 And David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it.
30 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 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 brick-kiln: and thus did he unto all the cities of the children of Ammon. So David and all the people returned unto Jerusalem.
2 Samuel 12
New International Version
Nathan Rebukes David(A)
12 The Lord sent Nathan(B) to David.(C) When he came to him,(D) he said, “There were two men in a certain town, one rich and the other poor. 2 The rich man had a very large number of sheep and cattle, 3 but the poor man had nothing except one little ewe lamb he had bought. He raised it, and it grew up with him and his children. It shared his food, drank from his cup and even slept in his arms. It was like a daughter to him.
4 “Now a traveler came to the rich man, but the rich man refrained from taking one of his own sheep or cattle to prepare a meal for the traveler who had come to him. Instead, he took the ewe lamb that belonged to the poor man and prepared it for the one who had come to him.”
5 David(E) burned with anger(F) against the man(G) and said to Nathan, “As surely as the Lord lives,(H) the man who did this must die! 6 He must pay for that lamb four times over,(I) because he did such a thing and had no pity.”
7 Then Nathan said to David, “You are the man!(J) This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘I anointed(K) you(L) king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul. 8 I gave your master’s house to you,(M) and your master’s wives into your arms. I gave you all Israel and Judah. And if all this had been too little, I would have given you even more. 9 Why did you despise(N) the word of the Lord by doing what is evil in his eyes? You struck down(O) Uriah(P) the Hittite with the sword and took his wife to be your own. You killed(Q) him with the sword of the Ammonites. 10 Now, therefore, the sword(R) will never depart from your house, because you despised me and took the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your own.’
11 “This is what the Lord says: ‘Out of your own household(S) I am going to bring calamity on you.(T) Before your very eyes I will take your wives and give them to one who is close to you, and he will sleep with your wives in broad daylight.(U) 12 You did it in secret,(V) but I will do this thing in broad daylight(W) before all Israel.’”
13 Then David said to Nathan, “I have sinned(X) against the Lord.”
Nathan replied, “The Lord has taken away(Y) your sin.(Z) You are not going to die.(AA) 14 But because by doing this you have shown utter contempt for[a] the Lord,(AB) the son born to you will die.”
15 After Nathan had gone home, the Lord struck(AC) the child that Uriah’s wife had borne to David, and he became ill. 16 David pleaded with God for the child. He fasted and spent the nights lying(AD) in sackcloth[b] on the ground. 17 The elders of his household stood beside him to get him up from the ground, but he refused,(AE) and he would not eat any food with them.(AF)
18 On the seventh day the child died. David’s attendants were afraid to tell him that the child was dead, for they thought, “While the child was still living, he wouldn’t listen to us when we spoke to him. How can we now tell him the child is dead? He may do something desperate.”
19 David noticed that his attendants were whispering among themselves, and he realized the child was dead. “Is the child dead?” he asked.
“Yes,” they replied, “he is dead.”
20 Then David got up from the ground. After he had washed,(AG) put on lotions and changed his clothes,(AH) he went into the house of the Lord and worshiped. Then he went to his own house, and at his request they served him food, and he ate.
21 His attendants asked him, “Why are you acting this way? While the child was alive, you fasted and wept,(AI) but now that the child is dead, you get up and eat!”
22 He answered, “While the child was still alive, I fasted and wept. I thought, ‘Who knows?(AJ) The Lord may be gracious to me and let the child live.’(AK) 23 But now that he is dead, why should I go on fasting? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him,(AL) but he will not return to me.”(AM)
24 Then David comforted his wife Bathsheba,(AN) and he went to her and made love to her. She gave birth to a son, and they named him Solomon.(AO) The Lord loved him; 25 and because the Lord loved him, he sent word through Nathan the prophet to name him Jedidiah.[c](AP)
26 Meanwhile Joab fought against Rabbah(AQ) of the Ammonites and captured the royal citadel. 27 Joab then sent messengers to David, saying, “I have fought against Rabbah and taken its water supply. 28 Now muster the rest of the troops and besiege the city and capture it. Otherwise I will take the city, and it will be named after me.”
29 So David mustered the entire army and went to Rabbah, and attacked and captured it. 30 David took the crown(AR) from their king’s[d] head, and it was placed on his own head. It weighed a talent[e] of gold, and it was set with precious stones. David took a great quantity of plunder from the city 31 and brought out the people who were there, consigning them to labor with saws and with iron picks and axes, and he made them work at brickmaking.[f] David did this to all the Ammonite(AS) towns. Then he and his entire army returned to Jerusalem.
