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.
And it came to pass when the time o the year for kings going out [to battle] had come round, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbath: but David remained 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.
And it came to pass towards evening, that David arose off his couch, and walked on the roof of the king's house, and saw from the roof a woman bathing; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon.
3 Devit ni tami a patoun teh a pacei navah, Eliam canu Hit tami Uriah e a yu Bathsheba doeh atipouh.
And David sent and enquired about the woman: and [one] said, [Is] not this Bersabee the daughter of Eliab, the wife of Urias the Chettite?
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 messengers, and took her, and went in to her, and he lay with her: and she was purified from her uncleanness, and returned to her house.
5 Hottelah napui hah camo a vawn. Camo ka vawn telah Devit koe a thai sak.
And the woman conceived; and she sent and told David, and said, I am 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 me Urias the Chettite; and Joab sent Urias 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 Urias arrived and went in to him, and David asked him how Joab was, and how the people were, and how the war went on.
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 Urias, Go to your house, and wash your feet: and Urias departed from the house of the king, and a portion [of meat] from the king followed him.
9 Hatei, Uriah teh ama im lah cet hoeh, a bawipa e sannaw koe im takhang koevah a i.
And Urias slept at the door of the king with the servants of his lord, and went not 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 they brought David word, saying, Urias has not gone down to his house. And David said to Urias, Are you not come from a journey? why have you not gone 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 Urias said to David, The ark, and Israel, and Juda dwell in tents; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open fields; and shall I go into my house to eat and drink, and lie with my wife? how [should I do this? as] your soul lives, I will not do this 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 Urias, Remain here today also, and to-morrow I will let you go. So Urias remained in Jerusalem that day and the day following.
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 David called him, and he ate before him and drank, and he made him drunk: and he went out in the evening to lie upon his bed with the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.
14 Amom vah Devit ni ca a thut teh Joab a patawn, Uriah koe a phu sak.
And the morning came, and David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Urias.
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 he wrote in the letter, saying, Station Urias in front of the severe [part] of the fight, and retreat from behind him, so shall he be wounded and die.
16 A dei e patetlah Joab ni kho hah a khet teh a tha ka sai e taran aonae koe Uriah ao sak.
And it came to pass while Joab was watching against the city, that he set Urias in a place where he knew that valiant men 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 city went out, and fought with Joab: and some of the people of the servants of David fell, and Urias the Chettite died also.
18 Joab ni hote kamthangnaw hah Devit koe thaisak hanelah tami a kaw teh,
And Joab sent, and reported to David all the events of the war, so as to tell them to the king.
19 a patoun e koevah, siangpahrang koe tarankâtuknae naw na dei pouh toteh,
And he charged the messenger, saying, When you have finished reporting all the events of the war to the king,
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.
then it shall come to pass if the anger of the king shall arise, and he shall say to you, Why did you draw near to the city to fight? knew you not that they would shoot from off 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 struck Abimelech the son of Jerobaal son of Ner? did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from above the wall, and he died in Thamasi? why did you draw near to the wall? then you shall say, Your servant Urias the Chettite is also dead.
22 Joab ni lawk a thui e patetlah patoune ni Devit koe a dei pouh.
And the messenger of Joab went to the king to Jerusalem, and he came and reported to David all that Joab told him, all the affairs of the war. And David was very angry with Joab, and said to the messenger, Why did you draw near to the wall to fight? knew you not that you would be wounded from off the wall? Who struck Abimelech the son of Jerobaal? did not a woman cast upon him a piece of millstone from the wall, and he died in Thamasi? why did you draw near to 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 messenger said to David, The men prevailed against us, and they came out against us into the field, and we came upon them even to the door of the gate.
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 shot at your servants from off the wall, and some of the king's servants died, and your servant Urias the Chettite is dead also.
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.
And David said to the messenger, Thus shall you say to Joab, Let not the matter be grievous in your eyes, for the sword devours one way at one time and another way at another: strengthen your array against the city, and destroy it, and strengthen him.
26 Uriah a due e a yu ni a thai toteh, a vâ hah a khui.
And the wife of Urias heard that Urias her husband was dead, and she mourned for her husband.
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 the time of mourning expired, and David sent and took her into his house, and she became his wife, and bore him a son: but the thing which David did was evil in the eyes of the Lord.
