1Yahweh sent Nathan to David. He came to him, and said to him, “There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor.
1Li Kâcuaß quixtakla li profeta Natán riqßuin laj David. Nak quicuulac riqßuin, laj Natán quixye re: —Queßcuan cuib li cuînk saß jun li tenamit. Jun li cuînk biom ut li jun chic nebaß.
2The rich man had very many flocks and herds,
2Li biom nabal lix carner ut nabal ajcuiß lix cuacax cuan.
3but the poor man had nothing, except one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and raised. It grew up together with him, and with his children. It ate of his own food, drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was to him like a daughter.
3Ut li nebaß jun ajcuiß lix chßina carner quixlokß. Quixchßolani chi us lix chßina carner ut quixqßuiresi saß li rochoch rochbeneb lix cocßal. Rochben nak nacuaßac ut saß xsecß na-ucßac ut riqßuin nacuar. Li chßina carner chanchan lix rabin nak cuan chiru.
4A traveler came to the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to dress for the wayfaring man who had come to him, but took the poor man’s lamb, and dressed it for the man who had come to him.”
4Saß jun li cutan quicuulac jun rulaß li cuînk biom. Li cuînk aßan incßaß quiraj xcamsinquil junak reheb lix quetômk re tixyîb xtibel xcua li rulaß. Joßcan nak cô ut quixchap lix carner li nebaß ut quixcamsi re tixyîb xtzacaêmk li rulaß, chan laj Natán.
5David’s anger was greatly kindled against the man, and he said to Nathan, “As Yahweh lives, the man who has done this is worthy to die!
5Nak quirabi li cßaßru quixye laj Natán, cßajoß nak quijoskßoß laj David xban li cßaßru quixbânu li biom. Quixye: —Saß xcßabaß li yoßyôquil Dios, lâin ninye nak xcßulub câmc li cuînk aßan.
6He shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity!”
6Tento nak tixtoj câhib sut xqßuial xtzßak li carner li quixcamsi. Kßaxal yibru li quixbânu xban nak incßaß quiril xtokßobâl ru li cuînk nebaß, chan laj David.
7Nathan said to David, “You are the man. This is what Yahweh, the God of Israel, says: ‘I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you out of the hand of Saul.
7Ut laj Natán quixye re: —At David, lâat li cuînk aßan. Joßcaßin xye âcue li Kâcuaß, lix Dioseb laj Israel, “Lâin xatinxakab chokß xreyeb laj Israel ut xatincol chiru laj Saúl.
8I gave you your master’s house, and your master’s wives into your bosom, and gave you the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that would have been too little, I would have added to you many more such things.
8Xinqßue âcuanquil joß nak quinqßue xcuanquil aßan. Ut xinkßaxtesiheb âcue chixjunileb li ixk li queßcuan riqßuin laj Saúl. Ut xinqßue âcuanquil saß xbêneb li ralal xcßajol laj Israel ut saß xbêneb ajcuiß li ralal xcßajol laj Judá. Toj raj xinqßue xtzßakob âcue cui ta xaye cue nak incßaß tzßakal li xinqßue âcue.
9Why have you despised the word of Yahweh, to do that which is evil in his sight? You have struck Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and have taken his wife to be your wife, and have slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.
9¿Cßaßut nak xatzßektâna li chakßrab li xinqßue âcue? ¿Cßaßut nak xabânu li mâusilal aßin? Xatakla laj Urías laj heteo chi camsîc. ¿Cßaßut nak xaqßue chi camsîc xbaneb laj Amón ut xacßam chokß âcue li rixakil?
10Now therefore the sword will never depart from your house, because you have despised me, and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife.’
10Chalen anakcuan junelic cuânk li camsînc saß xyânkeb lâ cualal âcßajol xban nak xinâtzßektâna ut xamakß li rixakil laj Urías.
11“This is what Yahweh says: ‘Behold, I will raise up evil against you out of your own house; and I will take your wives before your eyes, and give them to your neighbor, and he will lie with your wives in the sight of this sun.
11Lâin li Kâcuaß ninye âcue nak tintakla li raylal saß âbên. Ut eb lâ cuechßalal, aßaneb chic li teßxbânu li raylal âcue. Yôkat chirilbal nak lâin tinmakßeb lâ cuixakil châcuu ut tinqßueheb re jalan cuînk re teßcuânk riqßuin. Aßin tâuxmânk chiruheb chixjunileb laj Israel.
12For you did it secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.’”
12Lâat xabânu lâ mâc chi mukmu. Abanan lâin incßaß tinbânu aßin chi mukmu. Chiruheb ban chixjunileb laj Israel tinbânu aßin,” chan li Kâcuaß âcue, chan laj Natán.
13David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against Yahweh.” Nathan said to David, “Yahweh also has put away your sin. You will not die.
13Ut laj David quixye: —Yâl nak lâin xinmâcob chiru li Kâcuaß, chan. Laj Natán quixye re: —Li Kâcuaß quixcuy lâ mâc. Incßaß tatcâmk lâat.
14However, because by this deed you have given great occasion to Yahweh’s enemies to blaspheme, the child also who is born to you shall surely die.”
14Abanan xban li mâc xabânu, xaqßue li Dios chi hobecß xbaneb li xicß nequeßiloc re. Joßcan nak lâ cualal li tojeß xyoßla tâcâmk, chan.
15Nathan departed to his house. Yahweh struck the child that Uriah’s wife bore to David, and it was very sick.
15Laj Natán cô saß rochoch nak quirakeß chixyebal li âtin aßin. Ut li Dios quixtakla jun nimla yajel saß xbên lix cßulaßal laj David, li quicuan riqßuin li rixakil laj Urías.
16David therefore begged God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night on the earth.
16Ut laj David quixtzßâma chiru li Dios nak tâqßuirâk li chßina al. Quixbânu x-ayûn. Ut naxnumsi li kßojyîn chi yocyo saß li chßochß.
17The elders of his house arose beside him, to raise him up from the earth: but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them.
17Ut eb li nequeßcßanjelac chiru saß li rochoch li rey David queßcuulac riqßuin ut queßxye re nak tâcuaclîk. Abanan laj David incßaß quicuacli, chi moco quicuaßac rochbeneb.
18It happened on the seventh day, that the child died. The servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead; for they said, “Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spoke to him, and he didn’t listen to our voice. How will he then harm himself, if we tell him that the child is dead?”
18Nak quinumeß cuukub cutan quicam li cßulaßal. Cßajoß nak queßoc xcßaßuxeb li nequeßcßanjelac chiru laj David. Queßxye: —Nak toj mâjiß nacam li cßulaßal, xoâtinac riqßuin laj David. Abanan incßaß quirabi li cßaßru kaye. ¿Chanru nak takaye re nak xcam li ralal? Mâre cßaßru tixbânu xban xrahil xchßôl, chanqueb.
19But when David saw that his servants were whispering together, David perceived that the child was dead; and David said to his servants, “Is the child dead?” They said, “He is dead.”
19Laj David quixqßue retal nak saß has yôqueb chi âtinac chi ribileb rib. Joßcan nak quixnau nak ac xcam li cßulaßal. Quixye reheb: —¿Ma xcam li cßulaßal? chan. Ut eb aßan queßxye re: —Xcam, chanqueb.
20Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his clothing; and he came into the house of Yahweh, and worshiped: then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set bread before him, and he ate.
20Laj David quicuacli. Qui-atin ut quixqßue li sununquil ban ut quixjal li rakß. Cô saß li rochoch li Dios ut quixlokßoni. Chirix aßan, quisukßi saß rochoch. Quixtzßâma xtzacaêmk ut quicuaßac.
21Then his servants said to him, “What is this that you have done? You fasted and wept for the child while he was alive; but when the child was dead, you rose up and ate bread.”
21Ut eb li nequeßcßanjelac chiru li rey David queßxye re: —Incßaß nakatau ru cßaßru yôcat. Nak toj mâjiß nacam lâ cualal, yôcat chi ayunic ut yôcat chi yâbac. Anakcuan, nak ac xcam, xatcuacli ut xatcuaßac, chanqueb.
22He said, “While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept; for I said, ‘Who knows whether Yahweh will not be gracious to me, that the child may live?’
22Laj David quixye reheb: —Yâl nak xin-ayunic ut xinyâbac nak toj mâjiß nacam. Xincßoxla nak mâre li Kâcuaß târil xtokßobâl cuu ut tixqßuirtesi li cualal.
23But now he is dead, why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he will not return to me.”
23Anakcuan mâcßaß chic aj e nak tin-ayunik xban nak ac xcam li cualal. Lâin moco naru ta chic tincuaclesi cuißchic chi yoßyo. Aßan incßaß chic naru tâchâlk cuiqßuin. Abanan saß jun cutan lâin toxintau li cualal, chan laj David.
24David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in to her, and lay with her. She bore a son, and he called his name Solomon. Yahweh loved him;
24Laj David quixcßojob xchßôl lix Betsabé li rixakil ut quicuan cuißchic riqßuin. Quicuan jun chic lix cßulaßal. Aj Salomón queßxqßue chokß xcßabaß. Ut li Kâcuaß quixra laj Salomón.
25and he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet; and he named him Jedidiah, for Yahweh’s sake.
25Li Kâcuaß quixye re li profeta Natán nak tixqßue aj Jedidías chokß xcßabaß xban nak li cßabaßej aßan naraj naxye “Raro xban li Kâcuaß”.
26Now Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city.
26Laj Joab yô chak chi pletic riqßuineb li ralal xcßajol laj Amón re târêchani li tenamit Rabá, li nacuan cuiß li rey.
27Joab sent messengers to David, and said, “I have fought against Rabbah. Yes, I have taken the city of waters.
27Quixtaklaheb lix takl riqßuin laj David ut quixye re: —Yôquin chi pletic riqßuineb li cuanqueb saß li tenamit Rabá ut xcuêchani li naßajej li nequeßxcßam cuiß lix haßeb, chan.
28Now 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.”
28Tâchßutubeb li jun chßol chic lâ soldados ut tatpletik lâat. Lâin incßaß nacuaj nak tincuêchani li tenamit ut teßxqßue saß incßabaß.—
29David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it.
29Joßcan nak laj David quixchßutubeb lix soldados ut queßcôeb Rabá. Queßpletic riqßuineb ut queßrêchani li tenamit.
30He took the crown of their king from off his head; and its weight was a talent of gold, and in it were precious stones; and it was set on David’s head. He brought out the spoil of the city, exceeding much.
30Laj David quirisi li corona saß xjolom lix reyeb ut quiqßueheß saß xjolom li rey David. Li corona aßan yîbanbil riqßuin oro ut qßuebil chokß xsahob ru li tertôquil pec.

31He brought out the people who were therein, and put them under saws, and under iron picks, and under axes of iron, and made them pass through the brick kiln: and he did so to all the cities of the children of Ammon. David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
31Li joß qßuial chic li tenamit li queßcana quirisiheb aran ut quixqßueheb chi jachoc cheß ut chi picßoc chßochß, ut chi yocßoc cheß riqßuin mâl.
