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.
It happened, at the return of the year, at the time when kings go out, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the people of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed 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,
Now it happened one evening that David got up from his bed and walked on the roof of the king's palace; and he saw a woman bathing, and the woman was very beautiful.
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 about the woman. And one said, "Isn't this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hethite?"
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.
So David sent messengers to get her, and she came in to him, and he lay with her. (For she had been purifying herself from her uncleanness.) And she returned to her house.
5 Dhakono nomako ich mi nooro ni Daudi wach kowacho niya, “Ayach.”
The woman conceived; and she sent and told David, and said, "I'm pregnant."
6 Omiyo Daudi nooro wach ni Joab niya, “Orna Uria ja-Hiti.” Eka Joab noore ir Daudi.
Then David sent to Joab and said, "Send me Uriah the Hethite." So Joab sent Uriah to him.
7 Kane Uria obiro ire, Daudi nopenje ngima Joab gi mar jolweny to gi kaka lweny bende dhi.
And Uriah came to him, and David asked about the prosperity of Joab, and of the prosperity of the people, and of the prosperity of the war. And he said, "Its well."
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 your house, and wash your feet." So Uriah went out from the presence of the king, and a gift from the king was sent after him.
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 king's door with his master's servants, and did not go 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 it was reported to David, saying, "Uriah did not go down to his house." So David said to Uriah, "Haven't you come from a journey? Why did you not go down to your 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 to David, "The ark and Israel and Judah are staying in tents; and my lord Joab and the servants of my lord are camped in the open field. Then how can I go to my house to eat and to drink and to lie with my wife? As the LORD lives, and as you live, I will not do this thing."
12 Eka Daudi nowachone niya, “Bed ka kawuono kiny naweyi idog.” Omiyo Uria noriyo Jerusalem chiengʼno gi kinyne.
Then David said to Uriah, "Stay here today also, and tomorrow I will let you depart." So Uriah stayed in Jerusalem that day.
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 the next day David summoned him, and he ate and drank in his presence, and he became drunk. But in the evening he went out and lay on a bed with his master's servants, and did not go down to his house.
14 To gokinyi Daudi nondiko ne Joab baruwa moorogo Uria mondo oter.
It happened 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.”
He wrote in the letter, saying, "Send Uriah to the forefront of the hottest battle, and retreat from him, that he may be struck down and die."
16 Omiyo kane Joab olworo dala maduongʼno mondo gimaki, noketo Uria kama ongʼeyo ni wasigu mager kendo tek nitie.
It happened, when Joab kept watch on the city, that he assigned Uriah to 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.
The men of the city went out, and fought with Joab. Some of the people fell, even of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hethite 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 commanded the messenger, saying, "When you have finished telling all the things concerning 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?
if it happens that he becomes angry,
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.’”
then you are to say, 'Your servant Uriah the Hethite is dead also.'"
22 Jaote nowuok modhi, kane ochopo nonyiso Daudi weche duto mane Joab oore mondo owachi.
So the messenger of Joab went to the king in Jerusalem and reported to David everything that Joab had told 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.
The messenger said to David, "The men overpowered us, and came out to us into the field, and when we drove them back to 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.”
then the arrows came down heavily on your servants from the wall, and some eighteen men of the king's servants died." And the messenger finished the words to the king about the report of the battle. Then David was very angry with Joab, and said to the messenger, "Why did you go so close to the city to fight? Didn't you know you would be struck from the wall? Who struck Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal? Didn't a woman cast an upper millstone on him from the wall so that he died at Thebez? Why did you go so near to the wall?" [Then the messenger said to the king, ] "Also your servant Uriah the Hethite 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 David said to the messenger, "Thus you shall tell Joab, 'Do not let this thing displease you, for the sword devours one as well as another. Make your battle stronger against the city, and overthrow it.' And encourage him."
26 Kane chi Uria owinjo ni chwore otho, noywage.
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.
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.
