2 Samuel 11
1 Kuma thok tih manghaia thoh tue vaengah David loh Joab neh a taengkah a sal rhoek, Israel pum tea tueih tih Ammon ca rhoek tea thup. Te vaengah Rabbah khaw a dum uh dae David tah Jerusalem ah om.
And it came to pass, at the return of the year, at the time when kings go forth, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they laid waste the [land of the] children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David abode at Jerusalem.
2 Kholaeh tuea pha vaengah David tah a thingkong lamloh thoo tih manghai im kah imphu ah cet. Te vaengah huta pakhat tui a hlukTe imphu lamloha hmuh. Tekah huta te a mueimae bahoeng then.
And it came to pass at evening time that David arose from off his couch, and walked upon the roof of the king's house; and from the roof he saw a woman bathing, and the woman was very beautiful;
3 David loh hlang a tueih tih huta tea cae vaengah tah, “Eliam nu Bathsheba pawt nim ke, Khitti Uriah yuu la ke,” a tinah.
and David sent and inquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Urijah the Hittite?
4 Te dongah David loh puencawna tueih tih anih te a loh phai. Te phoeiah amah taengla ha pawk vaengah huta te vik a yalh puei. Te phoeiah huta loh a tihnai lamloha ciim tih amah im la mael.
And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in to him, and he lay with her; and she had purified herself from her uncleanness; and she returned to her house.
5 Tedae huta tea vawn vaengah ol a tah tih David taengla puen. Te vaengah kai ka vawn coeng,” a tinah.
And the woman conceived, and sent and told David, and said, I am with child.
6 Te dongah David loh Joab taengah ol a tah tih, “Khitti Uriah te kai taengla han tueih,” a ti nah vanbangla Joab loh Uriah te David taenglaa tueih.
And David sent to Joab [saying], Send me Urijah the Hittite. And Joab sent Urijah to David.
7 A taengla Uriaha pawk vaengah David loh Joab kah sading kawng, pilnam kah sading kawng, caem kah sading kawng te a dawt.
And when Urijah had come to him, David asked how Joab prospered, and how the people prospered, and how the war prospered.
8 Te phoeiah David loh Uriah te, “Na im te suntla lamtah na kho yuut laeh,” a tinah. Te vanbangla manghai im lamloh Uriaha nong neh a hnukah manghai kah buham loh a vai.
And David said to Urijah, Go down to thy house and wash thy feet. And Urijah departed out of the king's house, and there followed him presents from the king.
9 Tedae Uriah tah a boei rhoek kah sal tom neh manghai im kah thohka ah yalh tih amah im la suntla pawh.
And Urijah slept at the entrance of the king's house with all the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.
10 Te vaengah David taengla puen uh tih, “UriahTe amah im laa suntlak moenih,” a ti na uh. Te dongah David loh Uriah te, “Yiin lamkah na pawk moenih a? Balae tih na im te na paan pawh,” a tinah.
And they had told David saying, Urijah did not go down to his house; and David said to Urijah, Art thou not come from a journey? why didst thou not go down to thy house?
11 Uriah loh David taengah, “Thingkawng khaw, Israel neh Judah khaw, dungtlungim ah aka om khaw, ka boeipa Joab neh ka boeipa kah a sal rhoek khaw, khohmuen hoeng ah rhaehuh. Te vaengah kai loh kamah im ah caak ham neh ok hamla, ka yuu taengah yalh hamla, ka cet aya? Na hingnah neh na hinglu kah hingnah dongah hekah olka he tah ka rhoi mahpawh,” a tinah.
And Urijah said to David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah abide in booths; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open fields: shall I then go into my house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? [As] thou livest, and [as] thy soul liveth, I will not do this thing.
12 David loh Uriah te, “Hnin at khaw he ah om dae lamtah thangvuen ah kan tueih eh?,” a tinah. Te dongah Uriah khaw tekah khohnin neha vuen ah tah Jerusalem ah kho a sak.
And David said to Urijah, Abide here to-day also, and to-morrow I will let thee depart. And Urijah abode in Jerusalem that day and the morrow.
13 Te phoeiah anih te David loh a khue. A mikhmuh ah buh a cah tih a rhuihmil la a ok sak. Tedae kholaeh ah tah cet tih a boei kah sal rhoek taengah amah kah thingkong dongah yalh. Te dongah amah im te paan pawh.
And David invited him, and he ate and drank before him; and he made him drunk. And in the evening he went out to lie on his couch with the servants of his lord, but did not go down to his house.
14 Mincanga pha vaengah David loh Joab ham caaa daek pah tih Uriah kut aha pat.
And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by Urijah.
15 Ca dongaha daek pah tih, “Uriah te caemtloek tlungluen hmai ah khueh lamtah a hnuk lamloh mael tak, Te vaengah ngawn uh saeh lamtah duek saeh,” a tinah.
And he wrote in the letter saying, Set Urijah in the front of the thickest fight, and withdraw from him, that he may be smitten and die.
16 Joab loh khopuei tea om thil tih a dawn vaengah tatthai hlang rhoek om nah tea ming. Te dongahTe hmuen ahTe Uriaha khueh.
And it came to pass as Joab watched the city, that he assigned Urijah to a place where he knew that the valiant men were.
17 Khopuei hlang rhoek ha pawk uh tih Joab tea vathoh hatah David sal lamkah pilnam te cungku tih Khitti Uriah khaw duek.
And the men of the city went out and fought with Joab; and there fell some of the people, of the servants of David; and Urijah the Hittite died also.
18 Te phoeiah Joab loh hlang a tueih tih caemtloek vaengkah olka boeih te David taenglaa yaak sak.
Then Joab sent and told David all the matters of the war;
19 Puencawn tea uen tih, “Caemtloek vaengkah olka boeih manghai taengah thui pah ham te na khah vaengah,
and charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast ended telling the matters of the war to the king,
20 manghai kaha kosiTe phuet tih namah te, “Vathoh hamTe balae tih khopuei la na thoeih? Vongtung dong lamloh ng'kah ni tila na ming uh moenih a?
and if so be that the king's wrath arise, and he say to thee, Why did ye go so near to the city to fight? did ye not know that they would shoot from the wall?
21 Jerubbesheth capa Abimelek aka ngawnTe unim? Vongtung dong lamkah sumngol phaklung neh anih aka daeTe huta moenih a? Te dongah ni anihTe Thebez aha duek. Balae tih vongtung la na thoeih uh,’ a ti mai ni. Te vaengah, 'Na sal Khitti Uriah khaw duek coeng,’ ti nah,” a tinah.
Who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? did not a woman cast the upper stone of a handmill from the wall, that he died in Thebez? why did ye go near the wall? — then say thou, Thy servant Urijah the Hittite is dead also.
22 Te dongah puencawn te cet tiha pha vaengah Joab loh aniha tueih te David taengah boeiha thuipah.
And the messenger went; and he came and told David all that Joab had sent him for.
23 Te vaengah puencawn loh David taengah, “Kaimih te hlang loh ng'et tih khohmuen ah kaimih taengla ha thoenguh. Tedae amih te vongka thohka ah ka mahuh.
And the messenger said to David, The men prevailed against us, and came out against us into the field, and we were upon them as far as the entrance of the gate.
24 A kah uh thae vaengah na sal rhoek te vongtung dong lamkah lipom loh a kah, a kah tih manghai kah sal rhoek te duek. Te vaengah na sal Khitti Uriah khaw duek,” a tinah.
And the shooters shot from upon the wall against thy servants; and some of the king's servants are dead, and thy servant Urijah the Hittite is dead also.
25 David loh puencawn te, “Joab taengah thui pah, tahae kah olka he na mik ah lolh sak boeh, khat khat ngawn tah cunghang loha yoop rhuem, na caemtloek neh khopuei te namning thil lamtah koengloeng laeh,” a ti nah tih anih te a thaphoh.
Then David said to the messenger, Thus shalt thou say to Joab: Let not this thing displease thee, for the sword devours one as well as another: make thy battle strong against the city, and overthrow it; — and encourage him.
26 Uriah kah a yuu loh a va Uriaha duek tea yaak vaengah a boei tea rhaengsae.
And the wife of Urijah heard that Urijah her husband was dead, and she mourned for her husband.
27 Nguekcoinah tea poeng vaengah David loh a tah tih amah im laa det. Te dongah anih yuu la pahoi om tih ca tongpaa cunpah. Tedae David loh BOEIPA kah mikhmuh aha saii te khoboe thae ni a huet.
And when the mourning was past, David sent and fetched her to his house, and she became his wife, and bore him a son. But the thing that David had done was evil in the sight of Jehovah.
