2 Samuel 11
1 And it came to pass, at the return of the year, at the time when kings go forth, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they laid waste the [land of the] children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David abode at Jerusalem.
Awo mu biro ebyo, ekiseera bakabaka mwe bagendera okutabaala, Dawudi n’asindika Yowaabu n’abasajja be n’eggye lyonna erya Isirayiri. Ne bazikiriza abaana ba Amoni ne bazingiza n’ekibuga kya Labba. Naye Dawudi n’asigala mu Yerusaalemi.
2 And it came to pass at evening time that David arose from off his couch, and walked upon the roof of the king's house; and from the roof he saw a woman bathing, and the woman was very beautiful;
Olunaku olumu, mu ssaawa ez’olweggulo, Dawudi n’agolokoka, n’atambulatambula ku kasolya ak’olubiri lwe. N’asinziira waggulu eyo n’alengera omukazi ng’anaaba, era omukyala yali mulungi omubalagavu.
3 and David sent and inquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Urijah the Hittite?
Dawudi n’atuma omuntu okugenda okumunoonyerezaako. Ne bakomawo ne bamutegeeza nti, “Oyo ye Basuseba muwala wa Eriyaamu mukyala wa Uliya Omukiiti.”
4 And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in to him, and he lay with her; and she had purified herself from her uncleanness; and she returned to her house.
Awo Dawudi n’amutumya, n’ajja gy’ali, ne yeebaka naye. Yali mu kiseera eky’okwelongoosa obutali bulongoofu bwe. Oluvannyuma n’addayo ewuwe.
5 And the woman conceived, and sent and told David, and said, I am with child.
Omukyala n’aba olubuto, n’atumira Dawudi nti, “Ndi lubuto.”
6 And David sent to Joab [saying], Send me Urijah the Hittite. And Joab sent Urijah to David.
Awo Dawudi n’atumira Yowaabu nti, “Mpeereza Uliya Omukiiti.” Yowaabu n’aweereza Uliya eri Dawudi.
7 And when Urijah had come to him, David asked how Joab prospered, and how the people prospered, and how the war prospered.
Uliya bwe yagenda gy’ali, Dawudi n’abuuza Yowaabu n’abaserikale bwe baali, n’olutalo bwe lwali.
8 And David said to Urijah, Go down to thy house and wash thy feet. And Urijah departed out of the king's house, and there followed him presents from the king.
Awo Dawudi n’agamba Uliya nti, “Serengeta mu nnyumba yo, onaabe ku bigere.” Uliya n’afuluma olubiri, kabaka n’amuweereza ekirabo.
9 And Urijah slept at the entrance of the king's house with all the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.
Naye Uliya n’ataserengeta wuwe, n’asula ku mulyango gw’olubiri n’abaddu ba mukama we, Dawudi.
10 And they had told David saying, Urijah did not go down to his house; and David said to Urijah, Art thou not come from a journey? why didst thou not go down to thy house?
Dawudi bwe yategeezebwa nti, “Uliya teyazeeyo waka we,” n’abuuza Uliya nti, “Waakava olugendo, kiki ekikulobedde okuddayo eka ewuwo?”
11 And Urijah said to David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah abide in booths; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open fields: shall I then go into my house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? [As] thou livest, and [as] thy soul liveth, I will not do this thing.
Uliya n’addamu Dawudi nti, “Essanduuko ne Isirayiri ne Yuda baasigadde mu weema, ne mukama wange Yowaabu n’abaddu ba mukama wange basiisidde ku ttale. Kale nnyinza ntya okugenda mu nnyumba yange okulya n’okunywa, n’okwebaka ne mukyala wange? Mazima nga bw’oli omulamu, sijja kukola kigambo bwe kityo.”
12 And David said to Urijah, Abide here to-day also, and to-morrow I will let thee depart. And Urijah abode in Jerusalem that day and the morrow.
Awo Dawudi n’agamba Uliya nti, “Sigalawo olunaku olulala olabe obanga enkya siikusindike kuddayo.” Bwatyo Uliya n’asigalawo olunaku olwo n’olw’enkya.
13 And David invited him, and he ate and drank before him; and he made him drunk. And in the evening he went out to lie on his couch with the servants of his lord, but did not go down to his house.
Dawudi n’ayita Uliya alye naye ekyekiro, n’amutamiiza akawungeezi ak’olunaku olwo, Uliya n’agenda n’agalamira ku mukeeka gwe n’abaddu ba mukama we, n’ataddayo wuwe.
14 And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by Urijah.
Enkeera Dawudi n’awandiikira Yowaabu ebbaluwa n’agiwa Uliya agitwale.
15 And he wrote in the letter saying, Set Urijah in the front of the thickest fight, and withdraw from him, that he may be smitten and die.
Yawandiika mu bbaluwa nti, “Uliya muteeke mu maaso ddala olutalo we luli olw’amaanyi, mumwabulire, afumitibwe afe.”
16 And it came to pass as Joab watched the city, that he assigned Urijah to a place where he knew that the valiant men were.
Awo Yowaabu bwe yali ng’ataayizza ekibuga, n’addira Uliya n’amuteeka mu kifo kye yamanya nga waaliyo abalabe ab’amaanyi.
17 And the men of the city went out and fought with Joab; and there fell some of the people, of the servants of David; and Urijah the Hittite died also.
Abasajja ab’ekibuga bwe baafuluma okulwana ne Yowaabu, abamu ku basajja ba Dawudi ne battibwa, ne Uliya Omukiiti yali omu ku abo abattibwa.
18 Then Joab sent and told David all the matters of the war;
Awo Yowaabu n’aweereza Dawudi amawulire gonna agafudde mu lutalo,
19 and charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast ended telling the matters of the war to the king,
n’alagira gwe yatuma nti, “Bw’onoomala okutegeeza kabaka amawulire gonna agafudde mu lutalo,
20 and if so be that the king's wrath arise, and he say to thee, Why did ye go so near to the city to fight? did ye not know that they would shoot from the wall?
n’alabika nga munyiivu, n’abuuza nti, ‘Lwaki mwasemberedde nnyo ekibuga nga mulwana? Temwamanya nga bajja kulasa nga basinziira ku Bbugwe?
21 Who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? did not a woman cast the upper stone of a handmill from the wall, that he died in Thebez? why did ye go near the wall? — then say thou, Thy servant Urijah the Hittite is dead also.
Ani eyatta Abimereki mutabani wa Yerubbesesi? Teyali mukazi e Sebezi eyamukanyugako ejjinja eddene, kwe baseera emmere ey’empeke, ng’asinziira ku bbugwe, n’afiirawo? Lwaki mwasembedde okumpi ennyo ne bbugwe?’ Awo onoomutegeeza nti, ‘Omuddu wo Uliya Omukiiti naye afudde.’”
22 And the messenger went; and he came and told David all that Joab had sent him for.
Awo omubaka n’agenda n’ategeeza Dawudi byonna Yowaabu bye yamutuma okwogera.
23 And the messenger said to David, The men prevailed against us, and came out against us into the field, and we were upon them as far as the entrance of the gate.
Omubaka n’agamba Dawudi nti, “Abasajja batusinzizza amaanyi ne batulumba ku ttale, naye ne tubagoba okutuusa ku wankaaki ow’ekibuga.
24 And the shooters shot from upon the wall against thy servants; and some of the king's servants are dead, and thy servant Urijah the Hittite is dead also.
Naye abalasi basinzidde ku bbugwe ne balasa abaddu, era abamu ku baddu ba kabaka baafudde, n’omuddu wo Uliya Omukiiti naye mwe yafiiridde.”
25 Then David said to the messenger, Thus shalt thou say to Joab: Let not this thing displease thee, for the sword devours one as well as another: make thy battle strong against the city, and overthrow it; — and encourage him.
Dawudi n’agamba omubaka nti, “Ggamba Yowaabu nti, ‘Ekigambo ekyo kireme okukubuza emirembe, kubanga ekitala olumu kitta omu n’olulala ne kitta omulala. Munyiikirire okulumba ekibuga mukiwambe.’ Era Yowaabu mugambe agume omwoyo.”
26 And the wife of Urijah heard that Urijah her husband was dead, and she mourned for her husband.
Awo mukyala wa Uliya bwe yawulira nti bba afudde, n’amukungubagira.
27 And when the mourning was past, David sent and fetched her 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 Jehovah.
Okukungubaga bwe kwaggwa, Dawudi n’amutumya, n’amuleeta mu nnyumba ye, n’afuuka mukyala we, n’amuzaalira omwana owoobulenzi. Naye ekigambo ekyo Dawudi kye yakola ne kitasanyusa Mukama.
