2 Samuel 11
1 In the spring, at the time of year when kings go out to war, David sent out Joab and his officers and the whole Israelite army on an attack. They massacred the Ammonites and besieged Rabbah. However, David remained behind in Jerusalem.
Kum a kamtawng teh siangpahrangnaw ni tarantuk hanelah a kamthawnae tueng navah Devit ni Joab hah a taminaw hoi Isarelnaw pueng hah a patoun. Ammonnaw a thei awh teh Rabbah kho hai a kalup awh. Hatei, Devit teh Jerusalem kho vah ao.
2 Late one afternoon, David got up from taking a nap and was walking on the roof of the palace. From the roof he saw a woman bathing—a very beautiful woman.
Tangminlasa Devit teh a ikhun dawk hoi a thaw teh, imvan lemphu a kâhlai navah, a meikahawi poung e napui tui kamhluk e hah a hmu.
3 David sent someone to find out about the woman. He was told, “It's Bathsheba, daughter of Eliam, and wife of Uriah the Hittite.”
Devit ni tami a patoun teh a pacei navah, Eliam canu Hit tami Uriah e a yu Bathsheba doeh atipouh.
4 David sent messengers to fetch her. When she came to him, he had sex with her. (Now she had just purified herself from having her period.) Afterwards she went back home.
Patounenaw bout a patoun navah, haw e napui hah ahni koe a thokhai awh teh a ikhai. Napui ni a kamthoung hnukkhu a ma im lah a cei.
5 Bathsheba became pregnant and sent a message to David to tell him, “I'm pregnant.”
Hottelah napui hah camo a vawn. Camo ka vawn telah Devit koe a thai sak.
6 So David sent a message to Joab, telling him, “Send Uriah the Hittite to me.” Joab sent him to David.
Devit ni Joab koevah, Hit tami Uriah hah kai koe tho sak telah lawk a thui teh, Joab ni Uriah teh Devit koe a cei sak.
7 When Uriah came to see him, David asked him how Joab was doing, and how the army was doing, and how the war was going.
Uriah a pha toteh, Joab hoi a taminaw bangtelah a dam awh maw. Tarantuknae koe ahawi ngoun maw telah a pacei.
8 Then David told Uriah, “Go home now and have a rest.” Uriah left the palace, and the king sent him a gift after he'd gone.
Devit ni Uriah koevah, na im lah cet nateh na khok pâsu telah atipouh. Uriah teh siangpahrang im dawk hoi a tâco teh siangpahrang e canei kawi ni tang a pâlei.
9 But Uriah didn't go home. He slept in the guardroom at the palace entrance with all the king's guards.
Hatei, Uriah teh ama im lah cet hoeh, a bawipa e sannaw koe im takhang koevah a i.
10 David was told, “Uriah didn't go home,” so he asked Uriah, “Haven't you just got back from being away? Why didn't you go home?”
Devit koevah, Uriah ama im lah cet hoeh telah a dei pouh awh. Devit ni Uriah koevah kahlawng ceinae koehoi na tho nahoehmaw, bangkongmaw nama im vah na cei hoeh telah atipouh.
11 Uriah answered, “The Ark and the armies of Israel and Judah are living in tents, and my master Joab and his men are camped out in the open. How can I go home and eat and drink and sleep with my wife? On my life I won't do such a thing!”
Uriah ni Devit koevah, thingkong, Isarel hoi Judah taminaw rim dawkvah ao awh teh, ka bawipa Joab hoi a sannaw kahrawngum a roe awh navah, kai teh kama im ka cei vaiteh ka canei vaiteh, ka yu koe ka i han na maw. Nang na hring e patetlah na san kai ni khoeroe ka sak mahoeh telah ati.
12 David told him, “Stay here today, and tomorrow I'll send you back.” So Uriah stayed in Jerusalem that day, and the next.
Devit ni Uriah koevah, Sahnin hai hivah awm nateh tangtho torei na ceisak han telah atipouh. Uriah ni hot hnin a tangtho hnin totouh Jerusalem kho vah ao.
13 David invited Uriah to dinner. Uriah ate and drank with him, and David got Uriah drunk. But in the evening he went to sleep on his mat with the king's guards, and didn't go home.
Devit ni a kaw teh a hmalah a canei teh a parui sak. Tangmin a ma im cet laipalah a sannaw hoi i hanelah a cei.
14 In the morning David wrote Joab a letter, and gave it to Uriah to take to him.
Amom vah Devit ni ca a thut teh Joab a patawn, Uriah koe a phu sak.
15 In the letter, David told Joab, “Put Uriah right in the front where the fighting is worst, and then pull back behind him so that he'll be attacked and killed.”
Ca a patawn e dawkvah, Uriah teh taran apapnae koe hmalah cetsak nateh a thei awh vaiteh a due nahan yawng takhai awh telah ca dawkvah ao.
16 As Joab besieged the town, he made Uriah take a place where he knew the strongest enemy men would be fighting.
A dei e patetlah Joab ni kho hah a khet teh a tha ka sai e taran aonae koe Uriah ao sak.
17 When the town's defenders came out and attacked Joab, some of David's men were killed, including Uriah the Hittite.
Khocanaw teh a tâco awh teh Joab hah a tuk awh. Devit e sannaw tangawn a due teh Hit tami Uriah hai a due van.
18 Joab sent David a full report about the battle.
Joab ni hote kamthangnaw hah Devit koe thaisak hanelah tami a kaw teh,
19 He ordered the messenger, saying, “When you've finished telling the king all about the battle,
a patoun e koevah, siangpahrang koe tarankâtuknae naw na dei pouh toteh,
20 if the king's gets angry and asks you, ‘Why did you get so near to the town in the attack? Didn't you know they would shoot arrows from the wall?
siangpahrang teh a lungkhuek, tarantuk hanelah kho hah rek na hnai awh, rapan van hoi na tuk awh han doeh tie na panuek awh hoeh maw.
21 Who killed Abimelech, son of Jerub-Besheth? Wasn't it a woman who dropped a millstone on him from the wall, killing him there in Thebez? Why on earth did you get so close to the wall?’ Just tell him, ‘In addition, your officer Uriah the Hittite was killed.’”
Jerubbesheth capa Abimelek hah apinimaw a thei hah. Thebez khovah napui buet touh ni cakang phawmnae a lû lae talung hoi rapan dawk hoi a pabo sin teh a thei. Bangkongmaw tungdumnae totouh na cei awh tetpawiteh, na san Hit tami Uriah hai a due telah na dei han telah lawk a thui.
22 The messenger left, and when he arrived he told David everything Joab had directed him to say.
Joab ni lawk a thui e patetlah patoune ni Devit koe a dei pouh.
23 The messenger explained to David, “The defenders were stronger than us, and they came out at us in the open, but we forced them back to the entrance of the town gate.
Tarannaw ni kaimanaw atangcalah na tâ awh. Kahrawngum totouh na pâlei awh, na tuk awh. Kaimanaw ni hai kho longkha totouh ka tuk awh.
24 Their archers shot at us from the wall, and killed some of the king's men. Your officer Uriah the Hittite was also killed.”
Tarannaw ni rapan dawk hoi na sannaw na tuk awh teh, na san a tangawn a due awh. Na san Hit tami Uriah hai a due telah atipouh.
25 Then David said to the messenger, “Tell Joab this: ‘Don't be upset about this, for the sword destroys people at random. Press on with your attack against the town and conquer it.’ Encourage him by telling him this.”
Devit ni hete hno kaawm e dawk na lungpout sak hanh awh. Kâtuknae koe ouk due phung doeh, thakâlat awh nateh, puenghoi khopuinaw raphoe awh telah Joab koe tami a patoun teh lawk a thui.
26 When Uriah's wife heard that her husband was dead, she mourned for him.
Uriah a due e a yu ni a thai toteh, a vâ hah a khui.
27 Once the period of mourning was over, David sent for her to be brought to his palace, and she became his wife and bore him a son. But what David had done was evil in the Lord's sight.
A khuinae tueng a pâpout toteh, Devit ni tami a patoun teh hote napui hah a im dawk a kaw teh a yu lah a la. Hote napui ni ca tongpa a khe pouh. Hateiteh, Devit ni a sak e hno ni BAWIPA lunghawi sak hoeh.
