2 Samuel 11
1 Kum a kamtawng teh siangpahrangnaw ni tarantuk hanelah a kamthawnae tueng navah Devit ni Joab hah a taminaw hoi Isarelnaw pueng hah a patoun. Ammonnaw a thei awh teh Rabbah kho hai a kalup awh. Hatei, Devit teh Jerusalem kho vah ao.
Now in the spring, at the time when kings go out to war, David sent Joab and his servants and all Israel with him; and they made waste the land of the children of Ammon, and took up their position before Rabbah, shutting it in. But David was still at Jerusalem.
2 Tangminlasa Devit teh a ikhun dawk hoi a thaw teh, imvan lemphu a kâhlai navah, a meikahawi poung e napui tui kamhluk e hah a hmu.
Now one evening, David got up from his bed, and while he was walking on the roof of the king's house, he saw from there a woman bathing; and the woman was very beautiful.
3 Devit ni tami a patoun teh a pacei navah, Eliam canu Hit tami Uriah e a yu Bathsheba doeh atipouh.
And David sent to get knowledge who the woman was. And one said, Is this not Bath-sheba, the daughter of Eliam and wife of Uriah the Hittite?
4 Patounenaw bout a patoun navah, haw e napui hah ahni koe a thokhai awh teh a ikhai. Napui ni a kamthoung hnukkhu a ma im lah a cei.
And David sent and took her; and she came to him, and he took her to his bed: (for she had been made clean; ) then she went back to her house.
5 Hottelah napui hah camo a vawn. Camo ka vawn telah Devit koe a thai sak.
And the woman became with child; and she sent word to David that she was with child.
6 Devit ni Joab koevah, Hit tami Uriah hah kai koe tho sak telah lawk a thui teh, Joab ni Uriah teh Devit koe a cei sak.
And David sent to Joab saying, Send Uriah the Hittite to me. And Joab sent Uriah to David.
7 Uriah a pha toteh, Joab hoi a taminaw bangtelah a dam awh maw. Tarantuknae koe ahawi ngoun maw telah a pacei.
And when Uriah came to him, David put questions to him about how Joab and the people were, and how the war was going.
8 Devit ni Uriah koevah, na im lah cet nateh na khok pâsu telah atipouh. Uriah teh siangpahrang im dawk hoi a tâco teh siangpahrang e canei kawi ni tang a pâlei.
And David said to Uriah, Go down to your house and let your feet be washed. And Uriah went away from the king's house, and an offering from the king was sent after him.
9 Hatei, Uriah teh ama im lah cet hoeh, a bawipa e sannaw koe im takhang koevah a i.
But Uriah took his rest at the door of the king's house, with all the servants of his lord, and did not go down to his house.
10 Devit koevah, Uriah ama im lah cet hoeh telah a dei pouh awh. Devit ni Uriah koevah kahlawng ceinae koehoi na tho nahoehmaw, bangkongmaw nama im vah na cei hoeh telah atipouh.
And when word was given to David that Uriah had not gone down to his house, David said to Uriah, Have you not come from a journey? why did you not go down to your house?
11 Uriah ni Devit koevah, thingkong, Isarel hoi Judah taminaw rim dawkvah ao awh teh, ka bawipa Joab hoi a sannaw kahrawngum a roe awh navah, kai teh kama im ka cei vaiteh ka canei vaiteh, ka yu koe ka i han na maw. Nang na hring e patetlah na san kai ni khoeroe ka sak mahoeh telah ati.
And Uriah said to David, Israel and Judah with the ark are living in tents, and my lord Joab and the other servants of my lord are sleeping in the open field; and am I to go to my house and take food and drink, and go to bed with my wife? By the living Lord, and by the life of your soul, I will not do such a thing.
12 Devit ni Uriah koevah, Sahnin hai hivah awm nateh tangtho torei na ceisak han telah atipouh. Uriah ni hot hnin a tangtho hnin totouh Jerusalem kho vah ao.
And David said to Uriah, Be here today, and after that I will let you go. So Uriah was in Jerusalem that day and the day after.
13 Devit ni a kaw teh a hmalah a canei teh a parui sak. Tangmin a ma im cet laipalah a sannaw hoi i hanelah a cei.
And when David sent for him, he took meat and drink with him, and David made him the worse for drink: and when evening came, he went to rest on his bed with the servants of his lord, but he did not go down to his house.
14 Amom vah Devit ni ca a thut teh Joab a patawn, Uriah koe a phu sak.
Now in the morning, David gave Uriah a letter to take to Joab.
15 Ca a patawn e dawkvah, Uriah teh taran apapnae koe hmalah cetsak nateh a thei awh vaiteh a due nahan yawng takhai awh telah ca dawkvah ao.
And in the letter he said, Take care to put Uriah in the very front of the line, where the fighting is most violent, and go back from him, so that he may be overcome and put to death.
16 A dei e patetlah Joab ni kho hah a khet teh a tha ka sai e taran aonae koe Uriah ao sak.
So while Joab was watching the town, he put Uriah in the place where it was clear to him the best fighters were.
17 Khocanaw teh a tâco awh teh Joab hah a tuk awh. Devit e sannaw tangawn a due teh Hit tami Uriah hai a due van.
And the men of the town went out and had a fight with Joab: and a number of David's men came to their death in the fight, and with them Uriah the Hittite.
18 Joab ni hote kamthangnaw hah Devit koe thaisak hanelah tami a kaw teh,
Then Joab sent David news of everything which had taken place in the war:
19 a patoun e koevah, siangpahrang koe tarankâtuknae naw na dei pouh toteh,
And he gave orders to the man who took the news, saying, After you have given the king all the news about the war,
20 siangpahrang teh a lungkhuek, tarantuk hanelah kho hah rek na hnai awh, rapan van hoi na tuk awh han doeh tie na panuek awh hoeh maw.
If the king is angry and says, Why did you go so near the town for the fight? was it not certain that their archers would be on the wall?
21 Jerubbesheth capa Abimelek hah apinimaw a thei hah. Thebez khovah napui buet touh ni cakang phawmnae a lû lae talung hoi rapan dawk hoi a pabo sin teh a thei. Bangkongmaw tungdumnae totouh na cei awh tetpawiteh, na san Hit tami Uriah hai a due telah na dei han telah lawk a thui.
Who put Abimelech, the son of Jerubbaal, to death? did not a woman send a great stone down on him from the wall, putting him to death at Thebez? why did you go so near the wall? Then say to him, Your servant Uriah the Hittite is among the dead.
22 Joab ni lawk a thui e patetlah patoune ni Devit koe a dei pouh.
So the man went, and came to David, and gave him all the news which Joab had sent him to give; then David was angry with Joab and said, Why did you go so near the town for the fight? was it not certain that their archers would be on the wall? who put Abimelech, the son of Jerubbaal, to death? did not a woman send a great stone down on him from the wall, putting him to death at Thebez? why did you go so near the wall?
23 Tarannaw ni kaimanaw atangcalah na tâ awh. Kahrawngum totouh na pâlei awh, na tuk awh. Kaimanaw ni hai kho longkha totouh ka tuk awh.
And the man said to David, Truly the men got the better of us, and came out against us into the open country, but we sent them back to the very doors of the town.
24 Tarannaw ni rapan dawk hoi na sannaw na tuk awh teh, na san a tangawn a due awh. Na san Hit tami Uriah hai a due telah atipouh.
And the archers sent their arrows at your servants from the wall, and some of the king's servants are dead, and among them is your servant Uriah the Hittite.
25 Devit ni hete hno kaawm e dawk na lungpout sak hanh awh. Kâtuknae koe ouk due phung doeh, thakâlat awh nateh, puenghoi khopuinaw raphoe awh telah Joab koe tami a patoun teh lawk a thui.
Then David said to the man, Go and say to Joab, Do not let this be a grief to you; for one man may come to his death by the sword like another: put up an even stronger fight against the town, and take it: and do you put heart into him.
26 Uriah a due e a yu ni a thai toteh, a vâ hah a khui.
And when the wife of Uriah had news that her husband was dead, she gave herself up to weeping for him.
27 A khuinae tueng a pâpout toteh, Devit ni tami a patoun teh hote napui hah a im dawk a kaw teh a yu lah a la. Hote napui ni ca tongpa a khe pouh. Hateiteh, Devit ni a sak e hno ni BAWIPA lunghawi sak hoeh.
And when the days of weeping were past, David sent for her, and took her into his house, and she became his wife and gave him a son. But the Lord was not pleased with the thing David had done.
