2 Samuel 11
1 In the spring, at the time when kings march out to war, David sent out Joab and his servants with the whole army of Israel. They destroyed the Ammonites and besieged Rabbah, but David remained in Jerusalem.
Ary rehefa niherina ny taona, ka mby amin’ ny andro fandehanan’ ny mpanjaka hiady, dia naniraka an’ i Joaba sy ny mpanompony ary ny Isiraely rehetra Davida, ka nandringana ny taranak’ i Amona ireo sady nanao fahirano an’ i Raha; fa Davida kosa nijanona tany Jerosalema ihany.
2 One evening David got up from his bed and strolled around on the roof of the palace. And from the roof he saw a woman bathing—a very beautiful woman.
Ary nony harivariva, dia niala tao am-pandriany Davida ka nitsangantsangana teo an-tampon’ ny lapa; ary raha teo izy dia nahatazana vehivavy mandro; ary ravehivavy dia tsara tarehy maha-te-hijery.
3 So David sent and inquired about the woman, and he was told, “This is Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam and the wife of Uriah the Hittite.”
Ary Davida dia naniraka hanontany ny amin-dravehivavy. Ary nisy nanao hoe: Tsy iny va no Batseba, zanakavavin’ i Eliama, sady vadin’ i Oria Hetita?
4 Then David sent messengers to get her, and when she came to him, he slept with her. (Now she had just purified herself from her uncleanness.) Then she returned home.
Ary Davida naniraka olona ka nampaka azy; dia tonga tao aminy izy ka nandriany. Ary ravehivavy nanamasina ny tenany ho afaka tamin’ ny halotoany, dia nody tany an-tranony.
5 And the woman conceived and sent word to David, saying, “I am pregnant.”
Ary nanan’ anaka ravehivavy ka naniraka hilaza tamin’ i Davida hoe: Manan’ anaka aho.
6 At this, David sent orders to Joab: “Send me Uriah the Hittite.” So Joab sent him to David.
Ary Davida naniraka tany amin’ i Joaba hanao hoe: Asaovy mankaty amiko kely Oria Hetita. Dia nasain’ i Joaba nankany amin’ i Davida Oria.
7 When Uriah came to him, David asked how Joab and the troops were doing with the war.
Ary nony tonga teo amin’ i Davida izy, dia nanontaniany ny toetr’ i Joaba sy ny olona ary ny toetry ny ady.
8 Then he said to Uriah, “Go down to your house and wash your feet.” So Uriah left the palace, and a gift from the king followed him.
Ary hoy Davida tamin’ i Oria: Andeha ary mody, ka sasao ny tongotrao. Ary Oria niala tao an-tranon’ ny mpanjaka, ary dia nampanarahina nahandro avy tao amin’ ny mpanjaka izy.
9 But Uriah slept at the door of the palace with all his master’s servants; he did not go down to his house.
Nefa Oria nandry teo am-baravarana ny tranon’ ny mpanjaka, teo amin’ ny mpanompon’ ny tompony rehetra, fa tsy nidina nody tany an-tranony izy tsy akory.
10 And David was told, “Uriah did not go home.” “Haven’t you just arrived from a journey?” David asked Uriah. “Why didn’t you go home?”
Ary nisy nanambara tamin’ i Davida hoe: Tsy nidina nody tany an-tranony Oria. Dia hoy Davida tamin’ i Oria: Tsy avy lavitra va ianao? koa nahoana ianao no tsy midìna mody any an-tranonao?
11 Uriah answered, “The ark and Israel and Judah are dwelling in tents, and my master Joab and his soldiers are camped in the open field. How can I go to my house to eat and drink and sleep with my wife? As surely as you live, and as your soul lives, I will not do such a thing!”
Fa hoy Oria tamin’ i Davida: Ny fiara sy ny Isiraely ary ny Joda mitoetra amin’ ny trano rantsan-kazo; ary Joaba tompoko sy ny mpanompon’ ny tompoko mitoby any an-tsaha, ka izaho kosa va hody any an-tranoko hihinana sy hisotro ary handry amin’ ny vadiko? Raha velona koa ianao, ary raha velona koa ny ainao, tsy hanao izany aho.
12 “Stay here one more day,” David said to Uriah, “and tomorrow I will send you back.” So Uriah stayed in Jerusalem that day and the next.
Ary hoy Davida tamin’ i Oria: Mitoera ihany ary atỳ anio, fa rahampitso dia halefako ianao. Dia nitoetra tany Jerosalema androtrizay sy ny ampitson’ iny Oria.
13 Then David invited Uriah to eat and drink with him, and he got Uriah drunk. And in the evening Uriah went out to lie down on his cot with his master’s servants, but he did not go home.
Ary nasain’ i Davida izy, dia nihinana sy nisotro teo anatrehany, ka nomamoiny, ary nony hariva dia nivoaka izy ka nandry teo amin’ ilay nandriany teo amin’ ny mpanompon’ ny tompony ihany, fa tsy nidina nody tany an-tranony.
14 The next morning David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it with Uriah.
Ary nony maraina, Davida dia nanoratra taratasy ho any amin’ i Joaba, ka nampitondrainy an’ i Oria izany.
15 In the letter he wrote: “Put Uriah at the front of the fiercest battle; then withdraw from him, so that he may be struck down and killed.”
Ary izao no soratra nataony tao amin’ ny taratasy: Arosoinareo amin’ ny ady mafy Oria; dia ilaozy izy mba hasiany ho faty.
16 So as Joab besieged the city, he assigned Uriah to a place where he saw the strongest enemy soldiers.
Ary raha mbola nanao fahirano ny tanàna Joaba, dia nanendry an’ i Oria ho eo amin’ izay hitany misy lehilahy mahery.
17 And when the men of the city came out and fought against Joab, some of David’s servants fell, and Uriah the Hittite also died.
Ary ny mponina tao an-tanàna nivoaka hiady amin’ i Joaba, ka nahafatesana ny mpanompon’ i Davida, ary maty koa Oria Hetita.
18 Joab sent to David a full account of the battle
Ary Joaba naniraka hilaza tsara any amin’ i Davida ny toetry ny ady;
19 and instructed the messenger, “When you have finished giving the king all the details of the battle,
ary nandidy ilay iraka izy hoe: Rehefa voalazanao tsara amin’ ny mpanjaka ny toetry ny ady,
20 if the king’s anger flares, he may ask you, ‘Why did you get so close to the city to fight? Did you not realize they would shoot from atop the wall?
ka tezitra ny mpanjaka ary manao aminao hoe: Nahoana no nanakaiky ny tanàna toy izany ianareo raha niady? Tsy fantatrareo va fa hitifitra eo amin’ ny manda izy?
21 Who was the one to strike Abimelech son of Jerubbesheth? Was it not a woman who dropped an upper millstone on him from the wall, so that he died in Thebez? Why did you get so close to the wall?’ If so, then you are to say, ‘Your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead as well.’”
Fa iza no namely an’ i Abimeleka, zanak’ i Jerobeseta? Moa tsy vehivavy va no nanjera vato fikosoham-bary taminy avy teo amin’ ny manda, ka dia maty tao Tebeza izy? Koa nahoana no nanakaiky ny manda ianareo? dia ataovy hoe: Oria Hetita mpanomponao mba maty koa.
22 So the messenger set out and reported to David all that Joab had sent him to say.
Ary nandeha ilay iraka, dia tonga tamin’ i Davida ka nanambara taminy izay rehetra nanirahan’ i Joaba azy.
23 The messenger said to David, “The men overpowered us and came out against us in the field, but we drove them back to the entrance of the gate.
Ary hoy ny iraka tamin’ i Davida: Nahery noho izahay ireny, ary nivoahany tany an-tsaha izahay, ka dia nenjehinay hatreo anoloan’ ny vavahady kosa izy.
24 Then the archers shot at your servants from the wall, and some of the king’s servants were killed. And your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead as well.”
Ary ny mpitifitra teo amin’ ny manda nitifitra ny mpanomponao; ary nahafatesana ny mpanompon’ ny mpanjaka, ary Oria Hetita mpanomponao mba maty koa.
25 Then David told the messenger, “Say this to Joab: ‘Do not let this matter upset you, for the sword devours one as well as another. Strengthen your attack against the city and demolish it.’ Encourage him with these words.”
Dia hoy Davida tamin’ ny iraka: Izao no holazainao amin’ i Joaba: Aza malahelo amin’ izany ianao, fa ny sabatra tsy mifidy hasiana; herezo ihany ny adinao amin’ ny tanàna, ka ravao izy. Ary omeo toky Joaba.
26 When Uriah’s wife heard that her husband was dead, she mourned for him.
Ary nony ren’ ny vadin’ i Oria fa maty ny lahy, dia nisaona azy izy.
27 And when the time of mourning was over, David had her brought to his house, and she became his wife and bore him a son. But the thing that David had done was evil in the sight of the LORD.
Ary rehefa afa-tsaona izy, dia nampanalain’ i Davida ho any an-tranony, ary dia novadiny izy ka niteraka zazalahy taminy. Nefa tsy sitrak’ i Jehovah izany nataon’ i Davida izany.
