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 same season of the year, at the time when kings go forth, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of 'Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David remained behind 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 happened at evening-tide, that David arose from off his couch, and walked upon the roof of the king's house: and he saw from the roof a woman bathing herself; and the woman was of a very beautiful appearance.
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 some one said, Behold, this is Beth-sheba', the daughter of Eli'am, the wife of Uriyah 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, and she had just purified herself 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, Send unto me Uriyah the Hittite. And Joab sent Uriyah to David.
7 Kane Uria obiro ire, Daudi nopenje ngima Joab gi mar jolweny to gi kaka lweny bende dhi.
And when Uriyah was come unto him, David asked after the well-being of Joab, and after the well-being of the people, 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 Uriyah, Go down to thy house, and wash thy feet. And Uriyah went forth 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 Uriyah laid himself down 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 they told David, saying, Uriyah is not gone down unto his house: and David said unto Uriyah, Art thou not come from a journey? why then art thou not gone down unto thy own 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.”
Then said Uriyah 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: and should I alone go unto 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 unto Uriyah, Tarry here also this day, and tomorrow will I send thee off. So Uriyah remained in Jerusalem on that day and the following.
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 David invited him, and he ate and drank before him, and he made him drunken; and he went out in the evening to lie down on his resting-place with the servants of his lord; but to his house he did not go down.
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 Uriyah.
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 Uriyah in front, opposite to the hottest fight, and then withdraw from behind 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 was enclosing the city, that he placed Uriyah toward the spot of which he knew that valiant men were there.
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, of the servants of David, and there died also Uriyah the Hittite.
18 Joab nooro wach ne Daudi konyise gik moko duto mosetimore e lweny.
Then did Joab send, and told unto David all the events of the war.
19 Nochiko jaote niya, “Ka isetieko nyiso ruoth wechegi duto matimore e lweny,
And he charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast finished telling all the events of the war to 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?
And it happen that the king's wrath arise, and he say unto thee, Wherefore did you approach unto the city to fight? knew ye not, that they would shoot down from off 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 Yerubbesheth? did not a woman throw down upon him a piece of an upper mill-stone from off the wall so that he died at Thebez? why did ye approach unto the wall? then must thou say, Also thy servant Uriyah the Hittite is dead.
22 Jaote nowuok modhi, kane ochopo nonyiso Daudi weche duto mane Joab oore mondo owachi.
And the messenger went, and came and told unto David all for which Joab had sent him.
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, Because the men overpowered us and came out against us into the field; but we set upon them, as far as 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 archers then shot at thy servants from off the wall; and there died some of the servants of the king, and also thy servant Uriyah the Hittite is dead.
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 said David to the messenger, Thus shalt thou say to Joab, Let this thing not be displeasing in thy eyes; for at times this, at other times the other will the sword devour; continue firmly in thy war against the city, and overthrow it: and thus do thou encourage him.
26 Kane chi Uria owinjo ni chwore otho, noywage.
And when the wife of Uriyah heard that Uriyah her husband had died, she mourned for her lord.
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 [time of] mourning was past, David sent and took her to his house, and she became his wife; and she bore him a son. But the thing which David had done was displeasing in the eyes of the Lord.
