< 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.
Ie an-tsam-pamalihan-taoñe, i sam-piavotam-panjaka hihotakotakey, le nirahe’ i Davide t’Ioabe, rekets’ o mpitoro’eo, naho Israele iaby; le rinotsa’ iereo o ana’ i Amoneo vaho niarikatohe’ iereo t’i Ramà. F’ie ni­tambatse e Ierosa­laime ao t’i Davide.
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.
Aa teo ty hariva te nitroatse am-pandrea’e t’i Davide, naho nidrai­draitse an-tafon’ anjomba’ i mpanjakay; ie an-tafo ey ro naha­talake ty rakemba niandro; nimontramontra i rakembay, hasoa-vintañe.
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?
Nampañitrike hañontane i rakembay t’i Davide. Le hoe re: Tsy ie hao i Batesevae, ana’ i Eliame, tañanjomba’ i Orià nte-Kite?
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.
Aa le nampihitrife’ i Davide; ie niheo mb’ama’e ao, niolora’e, aa ie fa nañefe-batañe amy haleora’ey ro nimpoly añ’anjomba’e ao.
5 And the woman conceived; and she sent and told David, and said, I am with child.
Nia­reñe i rakembay vaho nirahe’e amy Davide ty hoe: Mivesatse iraho.
6 And David sent to Joab, saying, Send me Urias the Chettite; and Joab sent Urias to David.
Aa le nafanto’ i Davide amy Ioabe ty hoe: Iraho mb’amako mb’etoa t’i Orià nte-Kite. Aa le nirahe’ Ioabe mb’ amy Davide t’i Orià.
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.
Aa ie pok’ ama’e t’i Orià, le nañontanea’ i Davide te nanao akore t’Ioabe, naho ondatio naho i fañotakotaha’ i aliy.
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.
Le hoe t’i Davide amy Orià: Akia, mizotsoa mb’añ’ akiba’o mb’eo, naho manasà fandia. Aa le niavotse añ’ anjomba’ i mpanjakay t’i Orià vaho nampañoriheñ’ aze ty mahakama, ravoravo boak’ amy mpanjakay.
9 And Urias slept at the door of the king with the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.
Fe nirotse an-dalan’ anjomba’ i mpanjakay t’i Orià mindre amo mpitoro’ i talè’ey iabio vaho tsy nizotso mb’ añ’anjomba’e mb’eo.
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?
Aa ie natalily amy Davide ty hoe: Tsy nizotso mb’añ’ an­jom­ba’e mb’eo t’i Orià. Le hoe t’i Davide amy Orià, Tsy vaho nihirik’ an-dia-lava v’iheo? Aa vaho akore t’ie tsy nizotso mb’ añ’an­jomba’o mb’eo?
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.
Le hoe t’i Orià amy Davide: Songa mimoneñe an-kibohotse i vatam-pañinay, naho Israele, vaho Iehodà; mbore mitobe an-kivok’ ey t’Ioabe talèko mindre amo mpitoron-talèkoo; aa le himoak’ añ’ anjombako ao hao iraho hihinañe naho hinoñe, vaho handre amy valikoy? Kanao velon-drehe naho veloñe ty arofo’o, tsy hanoeko.
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.
Le hoe t’i Davide amy Orià: Mahaliñisa atoy hey te anito, le hengako hiavotse te maray. Aa le niambesatse e Ierosalaime ao t’i Orià amy andro zay; le ie loakandro
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.
nikanjie’ i Davide naho nikama naho ninoñe ama’e; vaho nimamoe’e; le niakatse añe re te hariva nandre am-pandreañe mindre amo mpitoro’ i taleio, fe tsy nizotso mb’ añ’ anjomba’e mb’eo.
14 And the morning came, and David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Urias.
Aa ie maraiñe, nanokitse taratasy am’ Ioabe t’i Davide, vaho nampisangitrifa’e am-pità’ i Orià.
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.
Le hoe ty sinoki’e amy taratasiy: Apoho aolo amy hotakotake miforoforoy t’i Orià, le isitaho, soa t’ie ho fofoheñe hivetrake.
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.
Ie amy zao, naho nisary i aliy t’Ioabe le nafanto’e hitoetse amo fanalolahio t’i Orià.
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.
Aa le niavotse ondati’ i rovaio, nifandraparapak’ am’ Ioabe; nitsin­goro eo ty ila’ ondatio, naho ty ila’ o mpitoro’ i Davideo; vaho nihomake ka t’i Orià nte-Kite.
18 And Joab sent, and reported to David all the events of the war, so as to tell them to the king.
Le nañirake t’Ioabe naho nita­lily i aliy amy Davide;
19 And he charged the messenger, saying, When you have finished reporting all the events of the war to the king,
le hoe ty nafanto’e amy nampihitrifa’ey: Ie fa nitalilie’o amy mpanjakay i aly iabiy,
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?
naho miforoforo ty haviñera’ i mpanjakay, manao ama’o ty hoe: Aa vaho akore t’ie niheo mb’eo hialy marine i rovay hoe zao? Tsy nifohi’ areo t’ie hitifitse boak’ ambone’ i kijoliy ey?
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.
ia ty nañoho-doza amy Akimelek’ ana’ Ierobesete? tsy roakemba hao ty nametsake vato-fandisanañe-ambone ama’e boak’ an-kijoly ey nampihomak’ aze e Tebetse añe? Aa vaho manao akore te niharinea’ areo i rindriñey? le hoe ty hatao’o: Nihomake ka i mpitoro’o Orià nte-Kitey.
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?
Aa le nimb’eo i nafantokey vaho natalili’e amy Davide iaby i nampañitrife’ Ioabe azey.
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.
Le hoe i ìrakey amy Davide: Toe naname anay ondatio naho niakatse mb’ ama’ay an-kivoke ey fe nampolie’ay pak’ am-pimoahañe an-dalam-bey eo.
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.
Le hiniriri’ o mpitàm-paleo o mpitoro’oo boak’ amy kijoliy, naho amo mpitoro’ i mpanjakaio ty nivetrake, vaho nihomake ka t’i Orià nte-Kite mpitoro’oy.
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.
Aa le hoe t’i Davide amy nihitrikey: Ty hoe ty ho enta’o am’ Ioabe: Ehe te tsy hampioremeñe azo o raha zao fa tsy mete tsy mampibo­tseke mb’eo mb’eo avao i fibaray; ampaozaro ty fihotakotaha’o amy rovay vaho rotsaho. Osiho re.
26 And the wife of Urias heard that Urias her husband was dead, and she mourned for her husband.
Ie jinanji’ i tañanjomba’ i Oriày te vilasy t’i Orià vali’e le nandala’e.
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.
Ie añe i fandalà’ey le nahitri’ i Davide ty holia’e añ’anjomba’e ao naho nengae’e ho vali’e vaho nisamak’ ana-dahy ho aze. Fe tsy ninò’ Iehovà i nanoe’ i Davidey.
