2 Uwo mukire yari afite amashyo menshi y’inka n’intama.

3 Naho uwo mukene afite akāgazi k’intama kamwe gusa yiguriye, arakagaburira arakarera, gakurira iwe hamwe n’abana be. Yasangiraga na ko bakanywera ku gikombe kimwe, kakaryama mu gituza cye. Mbese kari kamubereye nk’agakobwa ke bwite.

4 Wa mukire agenderewe n’umushyitsi ntiyafata mu matungo ye kugira ngo amuzimanire, ahubwo afata ka kāgazi k’intama ka wa mukene, aba ari ko azimanira uwo mushyitsi!”

5 Dawidi arakarira cyane uwo mukire, maze abwira Natani ati: “Ndahiye Uhoraho, umuntu wakoze ibyo akwiye kwicwa,

6 kandi ako kāgazi k’intama azakariha intama enyekuko atagize impuhwe.”

7 Natani ni ko kubwira Dawidi ati: “Uwo muntu ni wowe. Uhoraho Imana y’Abisiraheli aravuze ati: ‘Ni jyewe ubwanjye wagusīze amavuta kugira ngo ube umwami w’Abisiraheli, ngukiza Sawuli.

8 Naguhaye gutwara ab’inzu yashobuja nguha n’abagore be, naguhaye gutegeka Abisiraheli n’Abayuda, kandi iyo ibyo biba bidahagije nari kukongerera n’ibindi.

9 None ni iki cyatumye uncumuraho ukarenga ku mategeko yanjye? Wagambiriye ko Uriya w’Umuheti yicwa n’Abamoni, kugira ngo ubone uko ucyura umugore we.

10 Kubera ko wansuzuguye ugacyura umugore wa Uriya w’Umuheti, mu bazagukomokaho b’ibihe byose ntihazaburamo abapfa rubi.

11 Ngiye kuguteza ibyago bizaturuka ku muryango wawe bwite, nzatuma uwo mufitanye isano aryamanira n’abagore bawe ku karubanda.

12 Ibyo wakoze wabikoze rwihishwa, ariko jye nzabikwitūrira imbere y’Abisiraheli bose ku mugaragaro.’ ”

13 Dawidi abwira Natani ati: “Koko nacumuye ku Uhoraho.”

Natani aramubwira ati: “Uhoraho yakugiriye imbabazi nturi bupfe.

14 Ariko kuko washujuguje utyo Uhoraho mu banzi be, umwana w’umuhungu wabyaye azapfa.”

15 Nuko Natani yisubirira iwe.

17 Ibyegera bye biramwinginga ngo abyuke ariko aranga, ntiyagira n’icyo asangira na bo.

18 Hashize iminsi irindwi umwana arapfa. Abagaragu ba Dawidi batinya kubimubwira, kuko bibwiraga bati: “Ko twamubwiraga ntatwumve umwana akiriho, twahera he tumubwira ko yapfuye? Byatuma akora ishyano.”

19 Nyamara Dawidi abonye abagaragu be bongorerana, ahita yibwira ko umwana yapfuye, ni ko kubabaza ati: “Aho wa mwana ntiyapfuye?”

Baramusubiza bati: “Amaze gupfa.”

21 Abagaragu be baramubaza bati: “Ibyo ukoze ibi ni ibiki? Umwana akiriho wigomwe kurya urarira, none amaze gupfa ni bwo uhagurutse urafungura!”

22 Dawidi arabasubiza ati: “Umwana akiriho nigomwe kurya ndarira, kuko nibwiraga ko Uhoraho ashobora kumbabarira umwana agakira.

23 None se ko amaze gupfa, kwigomwa kurya byamarira iki? Ese nshobora kumugarura? Ni jye uzamusanga naho we ntabasha kungarukira.”
