2 i Samuelit 12
Albanian Bible
12 Pastaj Zoti i dërgoi Nathanin Davidit; dhe Nathani shkoi tek ai dhe i tha: "Na ishin dy njerëz në të njëjtin qytet, njeri i pasur dhe tjetri i varfër.
2 I pasuri kishte një numër të madh kopesh me bagëti të imët dhe të trashë;
3 por i varfëri nuk kishte asgjë, veçse një qengj femër që e kishte blerë dhe ushqyer; ai ishte rritur bashkë me të dhe me fëmijët e tij, duke ngrënë ushqimin e tij, duke pirë në kupën e tij dhe duke fjetur mbi gjirin e tij; ishte për të si bija e tij.
4 Një udhëtar arriti në shtëpinë e njeriut të pasur; ky refuzoi të merrte ndonjë bagëti nga kopetë e tij për t’i përgatitur për të ngrënë udhëtarit që kishte ardhur tek ai, por mori manarin e njeriut të varfër dhe e gatoi për njeriun që i kishte ardhur"
5 Atëherë zemërimi i Davidit u rrit me të madhe kundër këtij njeriu dhe i tha Nathanit: "Ashtu siç është e vërtetë që Zoti rron, ai që ka bërë këtë gjë meriton të vdesë!
6 Ai do t’a paguajë katërfish vlerën e manarit, sepse ka bërë një gjë të tillë dhe nuk ka pasur mëshirë".
7 Atëherë Nathani i tha Davidit: "Ti je ai njeri! Kështu thotë Zoti, Perëndia i Izraelit: "Unë të kam vajosur mbret të Izraelit dhe të kam çliruar nga duart e Saulit.
8 Të kam dhënë shtëpinë e zotërisë sate, të kam vënë në krahët e tua gratë e zotërisë tënd dhe të kam dhënë shtëpinë e Izraelit dhe të Judës; dhe në qoftë se kjo ishte shumë pak, unë do të të kisha dhënë shumë gjëra të tjera.
9 Pse, pra, ke përçmuar fjalën e Zotit, duke bërë atë që është e keqe për sytë e tij? Ti ke bërë të vdesë me shpatë Hiteun Uriah, more për grua bashkëshorten e tij dhe e vrave me shpatën e bijve të Amonit.
10 Kështu, pra, shpata nuk do të largohet kurrë nga shtëpia jote, sepse ti më ke përçmuar dhe ke marrë gruan e Hiteut Uriah si bashkëshorten tënde".
11 Kështu thotë Zoti: "Ja, unë do të sjell kundër teje fatkeqësinë nga vetë shtëpia jote, dhe do t’i marrë gratë e tua para syve të tu për t’ia dhënë një tjetri, që do të bashkohet me to ditën.
12 Sepse ti e ke bërë këtë gjë fshehurazi, kurse unë do ta bëj përpara tërë Izraelit në dritën e diellit".
13 Atëherë Davidi i tha Nathanit: "Kam mëkatuar kundër Zotit". Nathani iu përgjigj Davidit: "Zoti e ka hequr mëkatin tënd; ti nuk ke për të vdekur.
14 Megjithatë, duke qenë se më këto veprime u ke dhënë rastin armiqve të Zotit të blasfemojnë, djali që ka lindur duhet të vdesë".
15 Pastaj Nathani u kthye në shtëpinë e vet. Kështu Zoti goditi fëmijën që bashkëshortja e Uriahut i kishte lindur Davidit, dhe ai u sëmur.
16 Atëherë Davidi iu lut Perëndisë për fëmijën dhe agjëroi; pastaj hyri në shtëpi dhe e kaloi natën i shtrirë për tokë.
17 Pleqtë e shtëpisë së tij ngulën këmbë që ai të ngrihej nga toka, por ai nuk deshi dhe nuk pranoj të hante me ta.
18 Ditën e shtatë fëmija vdiq dhe shërbëtorët e Davidit kishin frikë t’i njoftonin që fëmija kishte vdekur, sepse thonin: "Ja, kur fëmija ishte akoma i gjallë, ne i kemi folur, por ai nuk i dëgjonte fjalët tona. Si të bëjmë tani për t’i thënë se fëmija ka vdekur? Kjo mund t’i shkaktojë ndonjë të keqe".
19 Kur Davidi pa që shërbëtorët e tij flisnin me zë të ulët, e kuptoi se fëmija kishte vdekur; prandaj Davidi u tha shërbëtorëve të tij: "Ka vdekur fëmija?". Ata u përgjigjën: "Ka vdekur".
20 Atëherë Davidi u ngrit nga toka, u la, u vajos dhe ndërroi rrobat; pastaj shkoi në shtëpinë e Zotit dhe ra përmbys; pastaj u kthye në shtëpinë e tij dhe kërkoi t’i sillnin ushqim dhe hëngri.
21 Shërbëtorët e tij i thanë: "Ç’bëre? Kur fëmija ishte akoma gjallë ti ke agjëruar dhe ke qarë; mbas vdekjes së fëmijës, u ngrite dhe hëngre".
22 Ai u përgjigj: "Kur fëmija ishte akoma gjallë, unë agjëronja dhe qaja, sepse thoja: "Kushedi Zotit mund t’i vijë keq për mua dhe e lë fëmijën të jetojë?". Por tani ai ka vdekur. Pse duhet të agjëroj?
23 Vallë, a kam mundësi ta kthej? Unë do të shkoj tek ai, por ai nuk do të kthehet tek unë!".
24 Pastaj Davidi ngushëlloi Bath-Shebën, bashkëshorten e tij, hyri tek ajo dhe ra në shtrat me të; kështu ajo lindi një djalë, që ai e quajti Solomon; dhe Zoti e deshi.
25 Pastaj dërgoi një mesazh me anë të profetit Nathan që i vuri emrin Jedidiah, për shkak të dashurisë të Zotit.
26 Ndërkaq Joabi lufonte kundër Rabahut të bijve të Amonit dhe pushtoi qytetin mbretëror.
27 Pastaj Joabi i dërgoi lajmëtarë Davidit për t’i thënë: "Kam sulmuar Rabahun dhe kam shtënë në dorë rezervat e tij të ujit.
28 Prandaj tani mblidh popullin që ka mbetur, vendos kampin tënd përballë qytetit dhe shtjere atë në dorë, përndryshe do ta marr unë qytetin dhe ai do të mbajë emrin tim".
29 Atëherë Davidi mblodhi tërë popullin, shkoi në Rabah, e sulmoi dhe e pushtoi.
30 Hoqi pastaj kurorën nga koka e mbretit të tyre; ajo peshonte një talent ari dhe kishte gurë të çmuar; ajo u vu mbi kokën e Davidit. Ai mori me vete gjithashtu nga qyteti një plaçkë të madhe.
31 I nxori banorët që ishin në qytet dhe i vuri të punonin me sharra, me lesa dhe më sëpata prej hekuri, i futi të punojnë në furrat e tullave; kështu bëri në të gjitha qytetet e bijve të Amonit. Pastaj Davidi u kthye në Jeruzalem bashkë me tërë popullin.
2 Samuel 12

2 Samuel 12

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.

King James Version
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.
