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.

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.

²The rich man had very many flocks and herds,

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

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.

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.

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.”

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.

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!

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

⁶He shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity!”

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

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.

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,

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.’

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

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.

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.

¹²For you did it secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.’”

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

¹³David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against Yahweh.” Nathan said to David, “Yahweh also has put away your sin. You will not die.

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.

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.”

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

¹⁵Nathan departed to his house. Yahweh struck the child that Uriah’s wife bore to David, and it was very sick.

¹⁵Markaasaa Naataan gurigiisii tegey.

¹⁶David therefore begged God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night on the earth.

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

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.

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.

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?”

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?

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.”

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.

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.

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.

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.”

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.

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?’

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?

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.”

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

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;

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,

²⁵and he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet; and he named him Jedidiah, for Yahweh’s sake.

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

²⁶Now Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city.

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

²⁷Joab sent messengers to David, and said, “I have fought against Rabbah. Yes, I have taken the city of waters.

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

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.”

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

²⁹David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
