2 Samuel 11
1 E ndalo mar chwiri, e kinde ma ruodhi dhi e lweny, Daudi nooro Joab gi joka ruoth to gi jolweny mag Israel duto. Negigoyo jo-Amon mi gitiekogi kendo negimako dala mar Raba. To Daudi nodongʼ e Jerusalem.
And it came to pass, at the return of the year, at the time when kings go out to battle, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried at Jerusalem.
2 Odhiambo moro Daudi noa malo e kitandane mowuotho alwora mar wi tado mar ode ka en ewi tado noneno dhako moro kaluokore. To dhakono ne jaber ahinya,
And it came to pass at eventide, that David arose from off his bed, 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 to look upon.
3 omiyo Daudi nooro ngʼato mondo odhi onon ni en dhako mane. Ngʼatno nowacho, “Donge mano en Bathsheba, ma nyar Eliam ma chi Uria ja-Hiti?”
And David sent and inquired after the woman. And one said: 'Is not this Bath-sheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?'
4 Eka Daudi nooro jaote mondo odhi okele, mi dhakono nobiro ire kendo noterore kode. Ma noyudo ka koro eka otieko kindene mar neno malo kendo nosepwodhore. Bangʼ mano Bathsheba nodok dala.
And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in unto him, and he lay with her; for she was purified from her uncleanness; and she returned unto her house.
5 Dhakono nomako ich mi nooro ni Daudi wach kowacho niya, “Ayach.”
And the woman conceived; and she sent and told David, and said: 'I am with child.'
6 Omiyo Daudi nooro wach ni Joab niya, “Orna Uria ja-Hiti.” Eka Joab noore ir Daudi.
And David sent to Joab, saying: 'Send me Uriah the Hittite.' And Joab sent Uriah to David.
7 Kane Uria obiro ire, Daudi nopenje ngima Joab gi mar jolweny to gi kaka lweny bende dhi.
And when Uriah was come unto him, David asked of him how Joab did, and how the people fared, and how the war prospered.
8 Eka Daudi nowachone ni Uria niya, “Dhi mwalo e odi mondo ilwok tiendi.” Omiyo Uria nowuok oa e dala ruoth, eka bangʼe ruoth noorone mich.
And David said to Uriah: 'Go down to thy house, and wash thy feet.' And Uriah departed out of the king's house, and there followed him a mess of food from the king.
9 To Uria nonindo e dhorangach mar dala gi jotich mamoko mag ruoth to ne ok olor odhi e ode.
But Uriah slept at the door of the king's house with all the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.
10 Kane owach ne Daudi ni Uria ne ok odhi ode, nopenje niya, “Donge isebudho oko, angʼo momoni dhi odi?”
And when they had told David, saying: 'Uriah went not down unto his house', David said unto Uriah: 'Art thou not come from a journey? wherefore didst thou not go down unto thy house?'
11 Uria nowachone Daudi niya, “Sandug Muma gi Israel gi Juda dak e hembe, to jatenda ma Joab gi jo-ruodha obuoro oko e pap. Ere kaka anyalo dhi e oda mondo achiem, kendo amethi, mi ariwra e achiel gi chiega? Akwongʼora e nyimi ni ok datim gima kamano.”
And Uriah said unto 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 field; 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 Eka Daudi nowachone niya, “Bed ka kawuono kiny naweyi idog.” Omiyo Uria noriyo Jerusalem chiengʼno gi kinyne.
And David said to Uriah: 'Tarry here to-day also, and to-morrow I will let thee depart.' So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day, and the morrow.
13 Daudi noluonge mochiemo mi ometho kode kendo Daudi nomiye math momer. To kotieno nochopo Uria nowuok modhi onindo e pare kaachiel gi jotij ruodhe; to ne ok odhi ode.
And when David had called him, he did eat and drink before him; and he made him drunk; and at even he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but went not down to his house.
14 To gokinyi Daudi nondiko ne Joab baruwa moorogo Uria mondo oter.
And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah.
15 Ei baruwano nondikoe niya, “Ket Uria e laini manyime kama lweny gerie ahinya. Eka weyeuru kende mondo ogoye manege.”
And he wrote in the letter, saying: 'Set ye Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, that he may be smitten, and die.'
16 Omiyo kane Joab olworo dala maduongʼno mondo gimaki, noketo Uria kama ongʼeyo ni wasigu mager kendo tek nitie.
And it came to pass, when Joab kept watch upon the city, that he assigned Uriah unto the place where he knew that valiant men were.
17 Kane jo-dala maduongʼno owuok mondo oked gi Joab, jolwenj Daudi moko nonegi; to Uria ja-Hiti bende nonegi.
And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab; and there fell some of the people, even of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hittite died also.
18 Joab nooro wach ne Daudi konyise gik moko duto mosetimore e lweny.
Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war;
19 Nochiko jaote niya, “Ka isetieko nyiso ruoth wechegi duto matimore e lweny,
and he charged the messenger, saying: 'When thou hast made an end of telling all the things concerning the war unto the king,
20 kamoro mirima nyalo mako ruoth, mi openji ni, ‘Angʼo momiyo ne usudo machiegni ahinya gi dala maduongʼ mondo ukedi? Donge ne ungʼeyo niginyalo chielou gi aserenigi ewi ohinga?
it shall be that, if the king's wrath arise, and he say unto thee: Wherefore went ye so nigh unto the city to fight? knew ye not that they would shoot from the wall?
21 En ngʼa ma nonego Abimelek wuod Jerub-Besheth? Dhako donge ema nodiro pongʼ rego gi ewi ohinga, mine otho Thebez? Angʼo momiyo ne udhi machiegni ahinya gi ohinga?’ Kopenji penjoni, to wachne ni, ‘Jatichni Uria ja-Hiti bende otho.’”
who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? did not a woman cast an upper millstone upon him from the wall, that he died at Thebez? why went ye so nigh the wall? then shalt thou say: Thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.'
22 Jaote nowuok modhi, kane ochopo nonyiso Daudi weche duto mane Joab oore mondo owachi.
So the messenger went, and came and told David all that Joab had sent him for.
23 Jaoteno nowachone Daudi niya, “Jogo nochako loyowa mi giwuok e pap mondo giked kodwa to ne wariembogi ma wadwokogi chien nyaka e dhoranga dala maduongʼ.
And the messenger said unto David: 'The men prevailed against us, and came out unto us into the field, and we were upon them even unto the entrance of the gate.
24 Eka jodir aserni nobayo jotichni gi ewi ohinga, kendo jotich ruoth moko nonegi. Uria ja-Hiti ma jatichni bende ginego.”
And the shooters shot at thy servants from off the wall; and some of the king's servants are dead, and thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.'
25 Daudi nowachone jaote niya, “Wachne Joab kama: Kik wachno chandi; ligangla nego jakoni gi jakocha. Med kedo matek gi dala maduongʼno mi ikethe chuth. Wachne wechegi mondo ijiwego.”
Then David said unto the messenger: 'Thus shalt thou say unto Joab: Let not this thing displease thee, for the sword devoureth in one manner or another; make thy battle more strong against the city, and overthrow it; and encourage thou him.'
26 Kane chi Uria owinjo ni chwore otho, noywage.
And when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she made lamentation for her husband.
27 Bangʼ ka ndalo ywak norumo, Daudi nowacho mondo okele e ode, mane obedo chiege monywolone nyathi ma wuowi. To gima Daudi notimo ne ok omoro Jehova Nyasaye.
And 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.
