“Siku moja yule tajiri akafikiwa na mgeni, lakini huyo tajiri akaacha kuchukua mmoja wa kondoo au ngʼombe wake mwenyewe amwandalie mgeni. Badala yake akachukua yule kondoo jike mdogo aliyekuwa mali ya yule maskini na kumwandalia yule mgeni wake.”
2 Samuel 12:4 in English
2 Samuel 12:4 · Berean Standard Bible
Now a traveler came to the rich man, who refrained from taking one of his own sheep or cattle to prepare for the traveler who had come to him. Instead, he took the poor man’s lamb and prepared it for his guest.”
Context
2Yule mtu tajiri alikuwa na idadi kubwa sana ya kondoo na ngʼombe, 3lakini yule maskini hakuwa na chochote ila kondoo jike mdogo aliyekuwa amemnunua. Akamtunza kondoo huyo, akakulia kwake pamoja na watoto wake. Kondoo huyo alishiriki chakula cha bwana wake na kunywea kikombe chake hata pia huyo kondoo alilala mikononi mwa bwana wake. Kwake alikuwa kama binti yake. 4“Siku moja yule tajiri akafikiwa na mgeni, lakini huyo tajiri akaacha kuchukua mmoja wa kondoo au ngʼombe wake mwenyewe amwandalie mgeni. Badala yake akachukua yule kondoo jike mdogo aliyekuwa mali ya yule maskini na kumwandalia yule mgeni wake.” 5Daudi akawakwa na hasira dhidi ya mtu huyo tajiri na kumwambia Nathani, “Hakika kama Bwana aishivyo, mtu huyo aliyefanya hivyo anastahili kufa! 6Lazima alipe mara nne zaidi, kwa ajili ya kondoo huyo, kwa sababu amefanya jambo kama hilo na hakuwa na huruma.”
