2 Samuelova 11

1 U početku slijedeće godine, u doba kad kraljevi izlaze u rat, posla David Joaba i s njim svoje ljude i svega Izraela: oni pobiše Amonce i podsjedoše Rabu. A David osta u Jeruzalemu.

And when the yeere was expired in the time when Kinges goe forth to battell, Dauid sent Ioab, and his seruantes with him, and all Israel, who destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah: but Dauid remayned in Ierusalem.

2 A jednoga dana predveče usta David sa svoje postelje i prošeta se po krovu svoje palače. Opazi s krova ženu gdje se kupa. Ta žena bijaše izvanredno lijepa.

And when it was euening tide, Dauid arose out of his bed, and walked vpon the roofe of the Kings palace: and from the roofe he sawe a woman washing her selfe: and the woman was very beautifull to looke vpon.

3 David se propita za tu ženu i rekoše mu: “Pa to je Bat-Šeba, kći Eliamova i žena Urije Hetita!”

And Dauid sent and inquired what woman it was: and one sayde, Is not this Bath-sheba the daughter of Eliam, wife to Vriah the Hittite?

4 Nato David posla glasnika da je dovedu k njemu. Kad je došla, leže on s njom, upravo kad se bila očistila od svoje nečistoće. Zatim se ona vrati svojoj kući.

Then Dauid sent messengers, and tooke her away: and she came vnto him and he lay with her: (now she was purified from her vncleannes) and she returned vnto her house.

5 Žena zatrudnje te poruči Davidu: “Trudna sam!”

And the woman conceiued: therefore shee sent and tolde Dauid, and sayd, I am with childe.

6 Tada David posla poruku Joabu: “Pošalji k meni Uriju Hetita!” I Joab posla Uriju k Davidu.

Then Dauid sent to Ioab, saying, Send me Vriah the Hittite. And Ioab sent Vriah to Dauid.

7 Kad je Urija došao k njemu, zapita ga David kako je Joab, kako je vojska i kako napreduje rat.

And when Vriah came vnto him, Dauid demanded him how Ioab did, and howe the people fared, and how the warre prospered.

8 Potom David reče Uriji: “Siđi u svoju kuću i operi svoje noge!” Urija iziđe iz kraljeva dvora, a za njim ponesoše dar s kraljeva stola.

Afterward Dauid said to Vriah, Go downe to thine house, and wash thy feete. So Vriah departed out of the Kings palace, and the king sent a present after him.

9 Ali Urija osta da spava pred vratima kraljeva dvora sa stražarima svoga gospodara i ne ode svojoj kući.

But Vriah slept at the doore of the Kings palace with all the seruants of his lord, and went not downe to his house.

10 Javiše to Davidu govoreći: “Urija nije otišao svojoj kući!” Tada David upita Uriju: “Zar nisi došao s puta? Zašto ne ideš svojoj kući?”

Then they tolde Dauid, saying, Vriah went not downe to his house: and Dauid saide vnto Vriah, Commest thou not from thy iourney? why didst thou not go downe to thine house?

11 A Urija odgovori Davidu: “Kovčeg, Izrael i Juda borave pod šatorima, moj gospodar Joab i straža moga gospodara borave na otvorenu polju, a ja da uđem u svoju kuću da jedem i da pijem i da spavam sa svojom ženom? Živoga mi Jahve, i tako mi tvoga života, zaista neću učiniti nešto takvo!”

Then Vriah answered Dauid, The Arke and Israel, and Iudah dwell in tents: and my lord Ioab and the seruants of my lord abide in the open fields: shall I then go into mine house to eate and drinke, and lie with my wife? by thy life, and by the life of thy soule, I will not do this thing.

12 Tada David reče Uriji: “Ostani još danas ovdje, a sutra ću te otpustiti.” Tako Urija osta u Jeruzalemu onaj dan.

Then Dauid sayd vnto Vriah, Tary yet this day, and to morow I will send thee away. So Vriah abode in Ierusalem that day, and the morowe.

13 Sutradan David pozva Uriju da jede i da pije pred njim i on ga opi. A uvečer Urija iziđe i leže na svoju postelju sa stražama svoga gospodara, ali svojoj kući nije otišao.

Then Dauid called him, and hee did eate and drinke before him, and he made him drunke: and at euen he went out to lie on his couch with the seruants of his Lord, but went not downe to his house.

14 Ujutro David napisa pismo Joabu i posla ga po Uriji.

And on the morowe Dauid wrote a letter to Ioab, and sent it by the hand of Vriah.

15 A u tom pismu pisao je ovako: “Postavite Uriju naprijed, gdje je najžešći boj, pa uzmaknite iza njega: neka bude pogođen i neka pogine!”

And he wrote thus in the letter, Put ye Vriah in the forefront of the strength of the battell, and recule ye backe from him, that he may be smitten, and die.

16 Zato Joab, opsjedajući grad, postavi Uriju na mjesto gdje je znao da stoje najhrabriji ratnici.

So when Ioab besieged the citie, he assigned Vriah vnto a place, where he knewe that strong men were.

17 Kad su onda građani provalili van i pobili se s Joabom, pade nekoliko od njegove vojske, od Davidovih ljudi, a pogibe i Urija Hetit.

And the men of the citie came out, and fought with Ioab: and there fell of the people of the seruants of Dauid, and Vriah the Hittite also dyed.

18 Potom Joab posla čovjeka i javi Davidu sve što se dogodilo u boju.

Then Ioab sent and tolde Dauid all the things concerning the warre,

19 I zapovjedi glasniku ovako: “Kad pripovjediš kralju sve što se dogodilo u boju,

And he charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast made an ende of telling all the matters of the warre vnto the King,

20 možda će se kralj razljutiti pa ti kazati: 'Zašto ste se primakli tako blizu gradu da navalite? Zar niste znali da se obično izmeću strijele sa zida?

And if the kings anger arise, so that he say vnto thee, Wherefore approched ye vnto the citie to fight? knewe ye not that they would hurle from the wall?

21 Tko je ubio Abimeleka, sina Jerubaalova? Nije li jedna žena bacila na njega mlinski kamen, ozgo sa zida, te je poginuo u Tebesu? Zašto ste se primakli tako blizu zidu?' Ako ti tako kaže, a ti mu reci: 'Poginuo je i tvoj sluga Urija Hetit.'”

Who smote Abimelech sonne of Ierubesheth? did not a woman cast a piece of a milstone vpon him from the wall, and he died in Thebez? why went you nie the wall? Then say thou, Thy seruant Vriah the Hittite is also dead.

22 Glasnik krenu na put, dođe k Davidu i pripovjedi mu sve što mu je naložio Joab. A David planu gnjevom na Joaba i reče glasniku: “Zašto ste se primakli tako blizu zidu? Tko je ubio Abimeleka, sina Jerubaalova? Nije li jedna žena bacila na njega mlinski kamen, ozgo sa zida, te je poginuo u Tebesu? Zašto ste se primakli tako blizu zidu?”

So the messenger went, and came and shewed Dauid all that Ioab had sent him for.

23 Glasnik odgovori Davidu: “Ti su ljudi silovito udarali na nas i izašli su protiv nas na otvoreno polje. Mi smo ih potisnuli natrag do gradskih vrata,

And the messenger said vnto Dauid, Certainely the men preuailed against vs, and came out vnto vs into the field, but we pursued them vnto the entring of the gate.

24 ali su strijelci sa zida stali izmetati strijele na tvoje ljude te ih je poginulo nekoliko između kraljevih slugu; tako je poginuo i tvoj sluga Urija Hetit.”

But the shooters shot from ye wall against thy seruants, and some of the Kings seruants be dead: and thy seruant Vriah the Hittite is also dead.

25 Tada David reče glasniku: “Ovako reci Joabu: 'Nemoj to uzimati toliko k srcu, jer mač proždire sad ovoga, sad onoga. Udaraj još jače na grad i obori ga!' Tako ćeš mu vratiti srčanost!”

Then Dauid said vnto the messenger, Thus shalt thou say vnto Ioab, Let not this thing trouble thee: for the sworde deuoureth one as well as another: make thy battell more strong against the citie and destroy it, and encourage thou him.

26 Kad je Urijina žena čula da je poginuo njezin muž Urija, žalila je za svojim mužem.

And when the wife of Vriah heard that her husband Vriah was dead, she mourned for her husband.

27 A kad je prošlo vrijeme žalosti, posla David po nju i uze je u svoj dvor, i ona mu posta ženom. I rodi mu sina. Ali djelo koje učini David bijaše zlo u očima Jahvinim.

So when the mourning was past, Dauid sent and tooke her into his house, and shee became his wife, and bare him a sonne: but ye thing that Dauid had done, displeased the Lord.
