¹Dabadeedna Rabbigu wuxuu Daa'uud u soo diray Naataan. Isna waa u yimid oo ku yidhi, Waxaa jiray laba nin oo isku magaalo degganaa; midkood wuxuu ahaa taajir, midka kalena miskiin.

¹And Jehovah sendeth Nathan unto David, and he cometh unto him, and saith to him: `Two men have been in one city; One rich and one poor;

²Ninkii taajirka ahaa wuxuu lahaa ido iyo lo' aad u badan,

²The rich hath flocks and herds very many;

³laakiinse ninkii miskiinka ahaa waxba ma lahayn, nayl yar mooyaane, taasoo uu mar hore soo iibsaday oo uu korsaday; waxayna la kortay isagii iyo carruurtiisii, oo wax bay ka cuntay cuntadiisii, oo koobkiisay wax kula cabtay, oo laabtiisay ku jiifsatay, waxayna u ahayd sidii gabadhiisii oo kale.

³And the poor one hath nothing, Except one little ewe-lamb, Which he hath bought, and keepeth alive, And it groweth up with him, And with his sons together; Of his morsel it eateth, And from his cup it drinketh, And in his bosom it lieth, And it is to him as a daughter;

⁴Waxaa ninkii taajirka ahaa u yimid nin socoto ah, markaasuu ka lexejeclaystay idihiisii iyo lo'diisii inuu uga loogo ninkii socotada ahaa ee u yimid, laakiinse wuxuu soo qabtay nayshii ninka miskiinka ahaa, wuuna u qalay ninkii u yimid.

⁴And there cometh a traveller to the rich man, And he spareth to take Of his own flock, and of his own herd, To prepare for the traveller Who hath come to him, And he taketh the ewe-lamb of the poor man, And prepareth it for the man Who hath come unto him.`

⁵Markaasaa Daa'uud aad ugu cadhooday ninkii; oo wuxuu Naataan ku yidhi, Rabbiga noloshiisaan ku dhaartay, ninkii waxakan sameeyey wuxuu istaahilaa dhimasho,

⁵And the anger of David burneth against the man exceedingly, and he saith unto Nathan, `Jehovah liveth, surely a son of death [is] the man who is doing this,

⁶oo nayshiina waa inuu afar jibbaar u gudaa, maxaa yeelay, waxan buu sameeyey wuuna naxariisan waayay.

⁶and the ewe-lamb he doth repay fourfold, because that he hath done this thing, and because that he had no pity.`

⁷Kolkaasaa Naataan wuxuu Daa'uud ku yidhi, Ninkaasu waa adiga. Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Waxaan kuu subkay inaad ahaatid boqor reer binu Israa'iil u taliya, gacantii Saa'uulna waan kaa samatabbixiyey,

⁷And Nathan saith unto David, `Thou [art] the man! Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, I anointed thee for king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul;

⁸gurigii sayidkaagana waan ku siiyey, naagihii sayidkaagana laabtaadaan ku jiifiyey; dalkii Israa'iil iyo dalkii Yahuudahna waan ku siiyey; oo haddii intaasu kugu yaraydna waxaan kuugu dari lahaa waxyaalo kaloo ka sii badan.

⁸and I give to thee the house of thy lord, and the wives of thy lord, into thy bosom, and I give to thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if little, then I add to thee such and such [things].

⁹Haddaba erayga Rabbiga maxaad u quudhsatay, oo aad u samaysay waxa hortiisa ku xun? Seef baad ku dishay Uuriyaah kii reer Xeed, oo naagtiisiina waad u kaxaysatay inay naag kuu noqoto, oo isagiina waxaad ku dishay seeftii reer Cammoon.

⁹`Wherefore hast thou despised the word of Jehovah, to do the evil thing in His eyes? Uriah the Hittite thou hast smitten by the sword, and his wife thou hast taken to thee for a wife, and him thou hast slain by the sword of the Bene-Ammon.

¹⁰Sidaas daraaddeed seeftu reerkaaga ka tegi mayso; maxaa yeelay, waad i quudhsatay, oo waxaad kaxaysatay naagtii Uuriyaah kii reer Xeed inay naag kuu noqoto.

¹⁰`And now, the sword doth not turn aside from thy house unto the age, because thou hast despised Me, and dost take the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be to thee for a wife;

¹¹Oo Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal ogow, shar baan gurigaaga kaaga kicin doonaa, oo adoo u jeeda ayaan naagahaaga kaa kaxaysan doonaa, oo waxaan siin doonaa deriskaaga, oo isna intay qorraxdanu soo jeeddo ayuu naagahaaga la seexan doonaa.

¹¹thus said Jehovah, Lo, I am raising up against thee evil, out of thy house, and have taken thy wives before thine eyes, and given to thy neighbour, and he hath lain with thy wives before the eyes of this sun;

¹²Waayo, waxan qarsoodi baad u samaysay, laakiinse anigu bayaan baan ugu hor samaynayaa reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan iyo qorraxdaba.

¹²for thou hast done [it] in secret, and I do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.`

¹³Markaasaa Daa'uud wuxuu Naataan ku yidhi, Anigu Rabbiga waan ku dembaabay. Oo Naataanna wuxuu Daa'uud ku yidhi, Rabbigu dembigaagii wuu kaa fogeeyey; dhimanna maysid.

¹³And David saith unto Nathan, `I have sinned against Jehovah.` And Nathan saith unto David, `Also — Jehovah hath caused thy sin to pass away; thou dost not die;

¹⁴Habase yeeshee waxaas aad samaysay aawadiis ayaad meel siisay cadaawayaashii Rabbiga inay caytamaan, taas aawadeed wiilka kuu dhashay hubaal wuu dhiman doonaa.

¹⁴only, because thou hast caused the enemies of Jehovah greatly to despise by this thing, also the son who is born to thee doth surely die.`

¹⁵Markaasaa Naataan gurigiisii tegey.

¹⁵And Nathan goeth unto his house, and Jehovah smiteth the lad, whom the wife of Uriah hath born to David, and it is incurable;

¹⁶Sidaas daraaddeed Daa'uud ayaa wiilkiisii Ilaah u baryay, kolkaasaa Daa'uud soomay, oo intuu gudaha galay ayuu habeenkii oo dhan dhulka jiifay.

¹⁶and David seeketh God for the youth, and David keepeth a fast, and hath gone in and lodged, and lain on the earth.

¹⁷Markaasaa waxaa soo kacay odayaashii reerkiisa, oo intay agtiisa soo istaageen ayay damceen inay dhulka ka kiciyaan, laakiinse wuu diiday, oo waxbana lama uu cunin.

¹⁷And the elders of his house rise against him, to raise him up from the earth, and he hath not been willing, nor hath he eaten with them bread;

¹⁸Oo maalintii toddobaad ayaa yarkii dhintay. Oo Daa'uud addoommadiisiina way ka cabsadeen inay Daa'uud u sheegaan in yarkii dhintay, waayo, waxay isyidhaahdeen, War intii yarku weli noolaa ayaynu isaga la hadalnay, oo isna codkeennii ma uu maqlin; haddaba haddaynu u sheegno in yarkii dhintay, intee in ka badan buu isdhibi doonaa?

¹⁸and it cometh to pass on the seventh day, that the lad dieth, and the servants of David fear to declare to him that the lad is dead, for they said, `Lo, in the lad being alive we spake unto him, and he did not hearken to our voice; and how do we say unto him, The lad is dead? — then he hath done evil.`

¹⁹Laakiinse Daa'uud markuu arkay inay addoommadiisii faqayaan ayuu ogaaday inuu yarkii dhintay; kolkaasaa Daa'uud addoommadiisii ku yidhi, War yarkii ma dhintay? Iyana waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Haah, wuu dhintay.

¹⁹And David seeth that his servants are whispering, and David understandeth that the lad is dead, and David saith unto his servants, `Is the lad dead?` and they say, `Dead.`

²⁰Kolkaasaa Daa'uud dhulkii ka kacay, oo maydhay, oo intuu subkaday ayuu dharkiisii beddeshay; wuxuuna galay gurigii Rabbiga, wuuna caabuday; oo dabadeedna gurigiisii buu yimid, oo intuu cunto weyddiistay ayaa wax la soo hor dhigay, wuuna cunay.

²⁰And David riseth from the earth, and doth bathe and anoint [himself], and changeth his raiment, and cometh in to the house of Jehovah, and boweth himself, and cometh unto his house, and asketh and they place for him bread, and he eateth.

²¹Markaasaa addoommadiisii waxay ku yidhaahdeen, War waxan aad samaysay waa maxay? Wiilku intuu noolaa ayaad soontay, oo u ooyday aawadiis; laakiinse yarkii markuu dhintay, waad kacday, wax baanad cuntay.

²¹And his servants say unto him, `What [is] this thing thou hast done? because of the living lad thou hast fasted and dost weep, and when the lad is dead thou hast risen and dost eat bread.`

²²Markaasuu ku yidhi, Intii yarku noolaa ayaan soomay oo ooyay, waayo, waxaan is-idhi, Bal yaa og in Rabbigu ii roonaan doono iyo in kale si uu yarku iigu sii noolaado?

²²And he saith, `While the lad is alive I have fasted, and weep, for I said, Who knoweth? — Jehovah doth pity me, and the lad hath lived;

²³Laakiinse haatan wuu dhintay, haddaba bal maxaan u soomaa? Miyaan isagii soo celin karaa? Anigaa u tegi doona, laakiinse isagu iima soo noqon doono.

²³and now, he hath died, why [is] this — I fast? am I able to bring him back again? I am going unto him, and he doth not turn back unto me.`

²⁴Markaasaa Daa'uud qalbi qabowjiiyey naagtiisii Batshebac, oo intuu u tegey ayuu la seexday, markaasay wiil u dhashay, oo wuxuu magiciisii u bixiyey Sulaymaan. Kolkaasaa Rabbigu isagii jeclaaday,

²⁴And David comforteth Bath-Sheba his wife, and goeth in unto her, and lieth with her, and she beareth a son, and he calleth his name Solomon; and Jehovah hath loved him,

²⁵oo wuxuu u diray Nebi Naataan, magiciisiina wuxuu u bixiyey Yediidyaah, Rabbiga aawadiis.

²⁵and sendeth by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and calleth his name Jedidiah, because of Jehovah.

²⁶Markaasaa Yoo'aab la diriray Rabbaah oo ahayd magaaladii reer Cammoon, wuuna qabsaday magaaladii reer boqor.

²⁶And Joab fighteth against Rabbah of the Bene-Ammon, and captureth the royal city,

²⁷Yoo'aabna wuxuu Daa'uud u diray wargeeyayaal, oo ku yidhi, Waxaan la diriray Rabbaah, waanan qabsaday magaaladii biyaha.

²⁷and Joab sendeth messengers unto David, and saith, `I have fought against Rabbah — also I have captured the city of waters;

²⁸Haddaba dadka intiisa kale soo ururso, oo magaalada horteeda deg, oo qabso, waayo, waaba intaasoo intaan magaalada qabsado, laygu magacaabaaye.

²⁸and now, gather the rest of the people, and encamp against the city, and capture it, lest I capture the city, and my name hath been called upon it.`

²⁹Markaasaa Daa'uud dadkii oo dhan soo urursaday, wuxuuna tegey ilaa Rabbaah, wuuna la diriray, oo qabsaday.

²⁹And David gathereth all the people, and goeth to Rabbah, and fighteth against it, and captureth it;

³⁰Boqorkoodii madaxiisii ayuu taajkii ka qaaday, oo miisaankiisuna wuxuu ahaa talanti dahab ah, dhagxan qaali ahna wuu lahaa; markaasaa Daa'uud madaxa loo saaray. Oo wuxuu dibadda u soo bixiyey dhacii magaalada oo aad iyo aad u badnaa.Dibadduu u soo bixiyey dadkii magaalada ku jiray, oo wuxuu hoos dhigay miinshaaro, iyo biro wax lagu qodo, iyo faasas biro ah, oo wuxuu ka dhex dusiyey meesha lebenka lagu dubo; saasuuna u wada galay magaalooyinkii reer Cammoon oo dhan. Markaasaa Daa'uud iyo dadkii oo dhammu ku noqdeen Yeruusaalem.

³⁰and he taketh the crown of their king from off his head, and its weight [is] a talent of gold, and precious stones, and it is on the head of David; and the spoil of the city he hath brought out, very much;

³¹Dibadduu u soo bixiyey dadkii magaalada ku jiray, oo wuxuu hoos dhigay miinshaaro, iyo biro wax lagu qodo, iyo faasas biro ah, oo wuxuu ka dhex dusiyey meesha lebenka lagu dubo; saasuuna u wada galay magaalooyinkii reer Cammoon oo dhan. Markaasaa Daa'uud iyo dadkii oo dhammu ku noqdeen Yeruusaalem.

³¹and the people who [are] in it he hath brought out, and setteth to the saw, and to cutting instruments of iron, and to axes of iron, and hath caused them to pass over into the brick-kiln; and so he doth to all the cities of the Bene-Ammon; and David turneth back, and all the people, to Jerusalem.
