< 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.
It happened, at the return of the year, at the time when kings go out, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the people of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed 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.
Now it happened one evening that David got up from his bed and walked on the roof of the king's palace; and 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 about the woman. And one said, "Isn't this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hethite?"
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.
So David sent messengers to get her, and she came in to him, and he lay with her. (For she had been purifying 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.
The woman conceived; and she sent and told David, and said, "I'm pregnant."
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.
Then David sent to Joab and said, "Send me Uriah the Hethite." So Joab sent Uriah to him.
7 A taengla Uriaha pawk vaengah David loh Joab kah sading kawng, pilnam kah sading kawng, caem kah sading kawng te a dawt.
And Uriah came to him, and David asked about the prosperity of Joab, and of the prosperity of the people, and of the prosperity of the war. And he said, "Its well."
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 Uriah, "Go down to your house, and wash your feet." So Uriah went out from the presence of the king, and a gift from the king was sent after him.
9 Tedae Uriah tah a boei rhoek kah sal tom neh manghai im kah thohka ah yalh tih amah im la suntla pawh.
But Uriah slept at the king's door with his master's servants, and did not go 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 it was reported to David, saying, "Uriah did not go down to his house." So David said to Uriah, "Haven't you come from a journey? Why did you not go down to your 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 Uriah said to David, "The ark and Israel and Judah are staying in tents; and my lord Joab and the servants of my lord are camped in the open field. Then how can I go to my house to eat and to drink and to lie with my wife? As the LORD lives, and as you live, 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.
Then David said to Uriah, "Stay here today also, and tomorrow I will let you depart." So Uriah stayed in Jerusalem that day.
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 the next day David summoned him, and he ate and drank in his presence, and he became drunk. But in the evening he went out and lay on a bed with his master's servants, and did not go down to his house.
14 Mincanga pha vaengah David loh Joab ham caaa daek pah tih Uriah kut aha pat.
It happened in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah.
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.
He wrote in the letter, saying, "Send Uriah to the forefront of the hottest battle, and retreat from him, that he may be struck down 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.
It happened, when Joab kept watch on the city, that he assigned Uriah to the place where he knew that 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.
The men of the city went out, and fought with Joab. Some of the people fell, even of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hethite 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 things concerning the war;
19 Puencawn tea uen tih, “Caemtloek vaengkah olka boeih manghai taengah thui pah ham te na khah vaengah,
and he commanded the messenger, saying, "When you have finished telling all the things concerning 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?
if it happens that he becomes angry,
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.
then you are to say, 'Your servant Uriah the Hethite is dead also.'"
22 Te dongah puencawn te cet tiha pha vaengah Joab loh aniha tueih te David taengah boeiha thuipah.
So the messenger of Joab went to the king in Jerusalem and reported to David everything that Joab had told him.
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.
The messenger said to David, "The men overpowered us, and came out to us into the field, and when we drove them back to 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.
then the arrows came down heavily on your servants from the wall, and some eighteen men of the king's servants died." And the messenger finished the words to the king about the report of the battle. Then David was very angry with Joab, and said to the messenger, "Why did you go so close to the city to fight? Didn't you know you would be struck from the wall? Who struck Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal? Didn't a woman cast an upper millstone on him from the wall so that he died at Thebez? Why did you go so near to the wall?" [Then the messenger said to the king, ] "Also your servant Uriah the Hethite is dead."
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 you shall tell Joab, 'Do not let this thing displease you, for the sword devours one as well as another. Make your battle stronger 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.
When the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she made lamentation 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.
When the mourning was past, David sent and took her home to his house, and she became his wife, and bore him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the LORD.
