Kings II 11
1 And it came to pass when the time o the year for kings going out [to battle] had come round, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbath: but David remained at Jerusalem.
Saning boeng moe, siangpahrangnawk misatukhaih tue phak naah, David mah Joab to siangpahrang ih tamnanawk, Israel kaminawk boih hoi nawnto misatuk naah patoeh, nihcae mah Ammon kaminawk to hum o moe, Rabbah vangpui to ven o. Toe David loe Jerusalem vangpui ah oh.
2 And it came to pass towards evening, that David arose off his couch, and walked on the roof of the king's house, and saw from the roof a woman bathing; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon.
Khawnbang duem ah David loe a iihhaih ahmuen hoiah angthawk moe, a ohhaih siangpahrang imphu ah amkaeh; to naah tui kamthluh nongpata maeto a hnuk. To nongpata loe paroeai kranghoih.
3 And David sent and enquired about the woman: and [one] said, [Is] not this Bersabee the daughter of Eliab, the wife of Urias the Chettite?
David mah to nongpata loe mi maw, tiah panoek hanah, kami patoeh moe, duengsak; to naah to kami mah, Anih loe Hit kami Uriah ih zu, Eliam canu Bethsheba na ai maw? tiah a naa.
4 And David sent messengers, and took her, and went in to her, and he lay with her: and she was purified from her uncleanness, and returned to her house.
To naah David mah laicaehnawk to patoeh moe, laksak; nongpata to anih khaeah angzoh naah, anih to a iih haih; nongpata loe kaciim ai hmuen pasaeh pacoengah, angmah im ah amlaem let.
5 And the woman conceived; and she sent and told David, and said, I am with child.
Nongpata loe zokpomh; zokpomh boeh, tiah David khaeah thuih pae o.
6 And David sent to Joab, saying, Send me Urias the Chettite; and Joab sent Urias to David.
To pongah David mah Joab khaeah, Hit kami Uriah to na patoeh ah, tiah a naa. To pongah anih mah Uriah to patoeh.
7 And Urias arrived and went in to him, and David asked him how Joab was, and how the people were, and how the war went on.
Uriah anih khaeah phak naah, siangpahrang mah Joab ih akawng, misatuh kaminawk ih akawng hoi misatukhaih kawng to dueng.
8 And David said to Urias, Go to your house, and wash your feet: and Urias departed from the house of the king, and a portion [of meat] from the king followed him.
David mah Uriah khaeah, Na im ah caeh tathuk loe, na khok to amsae ah, tiah a naa. Uriah loe siangpahrang im hoiah tacawt, anih caeh pacoengah siangpahrang mah caaknaeknawk pat pae.
9 And Urias slept at the door of the king with the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.
Toe Uriah loe angmah angraeng ih tamnanawk hoi nawnto siangpahrang thok taengah iih; angmah im ah caeh tathuk ai.
10 And they brought David word, saying, Urias has not gone down to his house. And David said to Urias, Are you not come from a journey? why have you not gone down to your house?
Uriah loe angmah im ah caeh tathuk ai, tiah David khaeah thuih pae o naah, anih mah Uriah khaeah, Kholong caehhaih ahmuen hoiah nang zoh na ai maw? Tipongah nangmah im ah na caeh ai loe? tiah a naa.
11 And Urias said to David, The ark, and Israel, and Juda dwell in tents; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open fields; and shall I go into my house to eat and drink, and lie with my wife? how [should I do this? as] your soul lives, I will not do this thing.
Uriah mah David khaeah, Sithaw thingkhong, Israel kaminawk hoi Judah kaminawk loe kahni imthung ah oh o; ka angraeng Joab hoi ka angraeng ih tamnanawk doeh taw ah ni atai o; kawbangmaw ka naekcaak moe, ka zu khaeah iih hanah im ah kam laem thai tih? Nang na hing moe, na pakhra hing baktih toengah, hae baktih hmuen hae ka sah mak ai, tiah a naa.
12 And David said to Urias, Remain here today also, and to-morrow I will let you go. So Urias remained in Jerusalem that day and the day following.
To naah David mah Uriah khaeah, Vaihni loe cam raeh, khawnbangah kang patoeh let han, tiah a naa. To pongah Uriah loe, to na ni hoi akhawnbang khoek to Jerusalem vangpui ah oh.
13 And David called him, and he ate before him and drank, and he made him drunk: and he went out in the evening to lie upon his bed with the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.
David mah anih to kawk pongah, anih loe David hmaa ah buhcaak; David mah anih to mu paqui khoek to naeksak; toe duembangah loe angmah angraeng ih tamnanawk hoi nawnto iih hanah a caeh; angmah im ah caeh ai.
14 And the morning came, and David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Urias.
Khawnbangah loe David mah Joab khaeah ca tarik moe, Uriah hnukah pat pae.
15 And he wrote in the letter, saying, Station Urias in front of the severe [part] of the fight, and retreat from behind him, so shall he be wounded and die.
To ih ca pongah, Misa pop koekhaih ahmuen ah Uriah to patoeh ah, misa mah anih to hum moe, paduek hanah, anih to hnukbang amlaem taak ah, tiah a naa.
16 And it came to pass while Joab was watching against the city, that he set Urias in a place where he knew that valiant men were.
To pongah Joab mah vangpui to tuk naah, misa pop koek, tiah a poek ih ahmuen ah Uriah to patoeh.
17 And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab: and some of the people of the servants of David fell, and Urias the Chettite died also.
Vangpui ih kaminawk angzoh o moe, Joab to tuk o naah, thoemto David ih kaminawk to duek o; Hit kami Uriah doeh to ah duek toeng.
18 And Joab sent, and reported to David all the events of the war, so as to tell them to the king.
To pacoengah Joab mah David khaeah, misatukhaih kawng kakoep ah thuih pae hanah, kami to patoeh.
19 And he charged the messenger, saying, When you have finished reporting all the events of the war to the king,
Joab mah laicaeh ah patoeh ih kami khaeah, Misatukhaih kawng boih siangpahrang khaeah na thuih pae naah,
20 then it shall come to pass if the anger of the king shall arise, and he shall say to you, Why did you draw near to the city to fight? knew you not that they would shoot from off the wall?
siangpahrang palungphui moe, Tipongah vangpui kanghnai ah na caeh o loe? Sipae nui hoiah na kaat o tih, tiah na panoek o ai maw?
21 Who struck Abimelech the son of Jerobaal son of Ner? did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from above the wall, and he died in Thamasi? why did you draw near to the wall? then you shall say, Your servant Urias the Chettite is also dead.
Jerubbeseth capa Abimelek loe mi mah maw hum? Anih to Thebez vangpui ah nongpata maeto mah tapang nui hoiah caangkaehhaih thlung palet thuih moe, a duek na ai maw? Tipongah sipae hoi kanghnai ah na caeh o loe, tiah lokdueng nahaeloe, anih khaeah, Hit kami na tamna Uriah loe duek boeh, tiah thui paeh, tiah a naa.
22 And the messenger of Joab went to the king to Jerusalem, and he came and reported to David all that Joab told him, all the affairs of the war. And David was very angry with Joab, and said to the messenger, Why did you draw near to the wall to fight? knew you not that you would be wounded from off the wall? Who struck Abimelech the son of Jerobaal? did not a woman cast upon him a piece of millstone from the wall, and he died in Thamasi? why did you draw near to the wall?
Joab mah thuih pae ih baktih toengah, to laicaeh mah siangpahrang khaeah thuih pae.
23 And the messenger said to David, The men prevailed against us, and they came out against us into the field, and we came upon them even to the door of the gate.
Laicaeh mah David khaeah, Kaminawk mah kaicae ang pazawk o, kaicae tuk hanah taw khoek to angzoh o; toe nihcae to vangpui sipae khoek to ka patom o.
24 And the archers shot at your servants from off the wall, and some of the king's servants died, and your servant Urias the Chettite is dead also.
To naah nihcae mah sipae nui hoiah na tamnanawk to palaa hoiah kah o pongah, thoemto siangpahrang ih tamnanawk loe duek o boeh; na tamna Hit kami Uriah doeh to ah duek toeng, tiah a naa.
25 And David said to the messenger, Thus shall you say to Joab, Let not the matter be grievous in your eyes, for the sword devours one way at one time and another way at another: strengthen your array against the city, and destroy it, and strengthen him.
David mah to ih laicaeh khaeah, Joab khaeah hae tiah thuih pae hanah lokpat; hae hmuen pongah poeknawm ai ah om hmah; sumsen mah kami maeto hum baktih toengah, kalah maeto doeh a hum. Misatuk thacaksak loe, vangpui to phrae paeh, tiah a naa. Hae tiah Joab thapaekhaih lok to thui pae ah, tiah a naa.
26 And the wife of Urias heard that Urias her husband was dead, and she mourned for her husband.
Uriah zu mah a sava duek ving boeh, tiah thaih naah palungset.
27 And the time of mourning expired, and David sent and took her into his house, and she became his wife, and bore him a son: but the thing which David did was evil in the eyes of the Lord.
Palungset dip pacoengah, David mah nongpata to angmah im ah kawk hanah kami to patoeh; to tiah nongpata loe anih ih zu ah oh moe, anih han capa maeto sak pae. Toe David mah sak ih hmuen nuiah Angraeng anghoe ai.
