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.
At the return of the year, at the time when kings go out, David sent Joab and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children 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,
At evening, David arose from his bed and walked on the roof of the king’s house. From the roof, he saw a woman bathing, and the woman was very beautiful to look at.
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?”
David sent and inquired after the woman. One said, “Isn’t this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, Uriah the Hittite’s wife?”
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.
David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in to him, and he lay with her (for she was purified 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 am with child.”
6 Omiyo Daudi nooro wach ni Joab niya, “Orna Uria ja-Hiti.” Eka Joab noore ir Daudi.
David sent to Joab, “Send me Uriah the Hittite.” Joab sent Uriah to David.
7 Kane Uria obiro ire, Daudi nopenje ngima Joab gi mar jolweny to gi kaka lweny bende dhi.
When Uriah had come to him, David asked 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.
David said to Uriah, “Go down to your house and wash your feet.” Uriah departed out of the king’s house, 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 door of the king’s house with all the servants of his lord, and didn’t 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?”
When they had told David, saying, “Uriah didn’t go down to his house,” David said to Uriah, “Haven’t you come from a journey? Why didn’t you 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.”
Uriah said to David, “The ark, Israel, and Judah, are staying in tents; 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 you live, and as your soul lives, I will not do this thing!”
12 Eka Daudi nowachone niya, “Bed ka kawuono kiny naweyi idog.” Omiyo Uria noriyo Jerusalem chiengʼno gi kinyne.
David said to Uriah, “Stay here today also, and tomorrow I will let you depart.” So Uriah stayed in Jerusalem that day and the next 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.
When David had called him, he ate and drank before him; and he made him drunk. At evening, he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but didn’t go down to his house.
14 To gokinyi Daudi nondiko ne Joab baruwa moorogo Uria mondo oter.
In the morning, 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 and die.”
16 Omiyo kane Joab olworo dala maduongʼno mondo gimaki, noketo Uria kama ongʼeyo ni wasigu mager kendo tek nitie.
When Joab kept watch on the city, 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 David’s servants; 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 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?
it shall be that, if the king’s wrath arise, and he asks you, ‘Why did you go so near to the city to fight? Didn’t you know 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 struck Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? 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 the wall?’ then you shall say, ‘Your servant Uriah the Hittite is also dead.’”
22 Jaote nowuok modhi, kane ochopo nonyiso Daudi weche duto mane Joab oore mondo owachi.
So the messenger went, and came and showed 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.
The messenger said to David, “The men prevailed against us, and came out to us into the field; and we were on them even 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.”
The shooters shot at your servants from off the wall; and some of the king’s servants are dead, and your servant Uriah the Hittite is also 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, “Tell Joab, ‘Don’t let this thing displease you, for the sword devours one as well as another. Make your battle stronger against the city, and overthrow it.’ Encourage him.”
26 Kane chi Uria owinjo ni chwore otho, noywage.
When Uriah’s wife heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she mourned 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 Yahweh.
