< 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.
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.
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.
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,
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?
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?”
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.
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.
5 And the woman conceived; and she sent and told David, and said, I am with child.
Dhakono nomako ich mi nooro ni Daudi wach kowacho niya, “Ayach.”
6 And David sent to Joab, saying, Send me Urias the Chettite; and Joab sent Urias to David.
Omiyo Daudi nooro wach ni Joab niya, “Orna Uria ja-Hiti.” Eka Joab noore ir Daudi.
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.
Kane Uria obiro ire, Daudi nopenje ngima Joab gi mar jolweny to gi kaka lweny bende dhi.
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.
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.
9 And Urias slept at the door of the king with the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.
To Uria nonindo e dhorangach mar dala gi jotich mamoko mag ruoth to ne ok olor odhi e ode.
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?
Kane owach ne Daudi ni Uria ne ok odhi ode, nopenje niya, “Donge isebudho oko, angʼo momoni dhi odi?”
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.
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.”
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.
Eka Daudi nowachone niya, “Bed ka kawuono kiny naweyi idog.” Omiyo Uria noriyo Jerusalem chiengʼno gi kinyne.
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.
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.
14 And the morning came, and David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Urias.
To gokinyi Daudi nondiko ne Joab baruwa moorogo Uria mondo oter.
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.
Ei baruwano nondikoe niya, “Ket Uria e laini manyime kama lweny gerie ahinya. Eka weyeuru kende mondo ogoye manege.”
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.
Omiyo kane Joab olworo dala maduongʼno mondo gimaki, noketo Uria kama ongʼeyo ni wasigu mager kendo tek nitie.
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.
Kane jo-dala maduongʼno owuok mondo oked gi Joab, jolwenj Daudi moko nonegi; to Uria ja-Hiti bende nonegi.
18 And Joab sent, and reported to David all the events of the war, so as to tell them to the king.
Joab nooro wach ne Daudi konyise gik moko duto mosetimore e lweny.
19 And he charged the messenger, saying, When you have finished reporting all the events of the war to the king,
Nochiko jaote niya, “Ka isetieko nyiso ruoth wechegi duto matimore e lweny,
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?
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?
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.
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.’”
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?
Jaote nowuok modhi, kane ochopo nonyiso Daudi weche duto mane Joab oore mondo owachi.
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.
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.
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.
Eka jodir aserni nobayo jotichni gi ewi ohinga, kendo jotich ruoth moko nonegi. Uria ja-Hiti ma jatichni bende ginego.”
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.
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.”
26 And the wife of Urias heard that Urias her husband was dead, and she mourned for her husband.
Kane chi Uria owinjo ni chwore otho, noywage.
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.
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.
