UPANGA.

UPANGA HAUTAONDOKA NYUMBANI MWAKO.

2 Samweli 12:7-15

[7]Basi Nathani akamwambia Daudi, Wewe ndiwe mtu huyo. BWANA, Mungu wa Israeli, asema hivi, Nalikutia mafuta, uwe mfalme juu ya Israeli, nikakuokoa na mkono wa Sauli; 

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]nami nikakupa nyumba ya bwana wako, na wake za bwana wako kifuani mwako; nikakupa nyumba ya Israeli na ya Yuda; na kama hayo yangalikuwa machache, ningalikuongezea mambo kadha wa kadha. 

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]Kwa nini umelidharau neno la BWANA, na kufanya yaliyo mabaya machoni pake? Umempiga Uria, Mhiti, kwa upanga, nawe umemtwaa mkewe awe mke wako, nawe umemwua huyo kwa upanga wa wana wa Amoni. 

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]Basi, sasa upanga hautaondoka nyumbani mwako, kwa sababu umenidharau, ukamtwaa mkewe Uria, Mhiti, kuwa mke wako. 

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]BWANA asema hivi, Angalia, nitakuondokeshea uovu katika nyumba yako, nami nitawatwaa wake zako mbele ya macho yako, na kumpa jirani yako, naye atalala na wake zako mbele ya jua hili. 

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]Maana wewe ulifanya jambo lile kwa siri; bali mimi nitalifanya jambo hili mbele ya Israeli wote na mbele ya jua. 

For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.

[13]Daudi akamwambia Nathani, Nimemfanyia BWANA dhambi. Nathani akamwambia Daudi, BWANA naye ameiondoa dhambi yako; hutakufa. 

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]Lakini, kwa kuwa kwa tendo hili umewapa adui za BWANA nafasi kubwa ya kukufuru, mtoto atakayezaliwa kwako hakika yake atakufa. 

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]Naye Nathani akaondoka kwenda nyumbani kwake. 

And Nathan departed unto his house. And the LORD struck the child that Uriah's wife bare unto David, and it was very sick.
