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.
Birraa keessa yeroo mootonni waraanaaf baʼanitti, Daawit tajaajiltoota isaatii fi loltoota Israaʼel hunda wajjin Yooʼaabin erge. Isaanis Amoonota barbadeessanii magaalaa Rabbaa jedhamtu marsan. Daawit garuu Yerusaalemitti hafe.
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.
Gaaf tokko galgala Daawit siree isaa irraa kaʼee bantii masaraa mootummaa irra asii fi achi deddeebiʼaa ture. Innis bantii gubbaa dhaabatee dubartii dhagna ishee dhiqattu tokko arge. Dubartiin sun baayʼee bareedduu turte;
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.”
Daawitis waaʼee ishee beekuuf nama itti erge. Namichi sunis, “Isheen Batisheebaa intala Eliʼaam, niitii Uuriyaa namicha gosa Heet sanaatii mitii?” jedhe.
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.
Daawitis nama itti ergee ishee fichisiise. Isheenis gara isaa dhufte; innis ishee wajjin ciise. Isheen xuraaʼummaa ishee irraa qulqullooftee turte. Ergasii gara mana isheetti deebite.
5 Bathsheba became pregnant and sent a message to David to tell him, “I'm pregnant.”
Dubartiin sun ulfooftee, “Ani ulfaaʼeera” jettee Daawititti ergaa ergite.
6 So David sent a message to Joab, telling him, “Send Uriah the Hittite to me.” Joab sent him to David.
Kanaafuu Daawit, “Uuriyaa namicha gosa Heet sana naa ergi” jedhee Yooʼaabitti dhaamsa erge. Yooʼaabis gara Daawititti isa erge.
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.
Daawitis yommuu Uuriyaan gara isaa dhufetti waaʼee Yooʼaab, waaʼee loltootaatii fi haala waraanni keessa jiru isa gaafate.
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.
Ergasii immoo Daawit Uuriyaan, “Gara mana keetiitti gad buʼiitii miilla kee dhiqadhu” jedhe. Kanaafuu Uuriyaan masaraa mootiitii baʼee deeme; kennaan mootichaas isa faana ergame.
9 But Uriah didn't go home. He slept in the guardroom at the palace entrance with all the king's guards.
Uuriyaan garuu tajaajiltoota gooftaa isaa hunda wajjin karra masaraa mootii dura ciise malee gara mana ofii isaatti gad hin buune.
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?”
Daawitis yommuu akka Uuriyaan gara mana isaa hin deemin itti himametti, “Ati reefuu karaadhaa dhufte mitii? Maaliif gara mana keetii hin deemne?” jedhee isa gaafate.
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!”
Uuriyaan immoo Daawitiin, “Taabonnii fi Israaʼel, Yihuudaanis dunkaana keessa jiru; gooftaan koo Yooʼaabii fi namoonni gooftaa koo dirree irra bulu. Egaa ani akkamitti nyaachuu fi dhuguuf, niitii koo wajjinis rafuuf jedhee gara mana koo deema? Duʼa kee ti; ani waan akkasii hin godhu!”
12 David told him, “Stay here today, and tomorrow I'll send you back.” So Uriah stayed in Jerusalem that day, and the next.
Daawit, “Ati harʼas as buliitii ani bor sin geggeessaa” jedheen. Kanaafuu Uuriyaan gaafa sanaa fi guyyaa itti aanu Yerusaalem keessa ture.
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.
Daawitis isa affeere; innis fuula isaa duratti nyaatee dhuge; Daawitis isa macheesse. Uuriyaan garuu halkan sana afata isaa irra tajaajiltoota gooftaa isaa gidduu ciisuuf gad baʼe malee gara mana ofii isaa hin deemne.
14 In the morning David wrote Joab a letter, and gave it to Uriah to take to him.
Daawitis lafti bariinaan xalayaa barreessee harkuma Uuriyaatiin Yooʼaabitti erge.
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.”
Xalayicha keessattis, “Iddoo waraanni itti cimetti Uuriyaa ramadi. Akka inni achitti dhaʼamee duʼuufis isa dhiisaa duubatti deebiʼaa” jedhee barreesse.
16 As Joab besieged the town, he made Uriah take a place where he knew the strongest enemy men would be fighting.
Kanaafuu Yooʼaab utuu magaalattii marsaa jiruu iddoo akka loltoonni ciccimoon jiran beeketti Uuriyaa ramade.
17 When the town's defenders came out and attacked Joab, some of David's men were killed, including Uriah the Hittite.
Yommuu namoonni magaalaa sanaa itti gad baʼanii Yooʼaabin lolanitti, loltoota Daawit keessaa namoonni tokko tokko duʼan; Uuriyaan namichi gosa Heet sunis ni ajjeefame.
18 Joab sent David a full report about the battle.
Yooʼaabis guutummaa oduu waaʼee lola sanaa Daawitiif erge.
19 He ordered the messenger, saying, “When you've finished telling the king all about the battle,
Akkana jedhees ergamaa sana ajaje; “Yommuu ati waaʼee waraana kanaa mootichatti himtee fixxutti,
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?
aariin mootichaa ni bobaʼa; innis akkana jedhee si gaafachuu dandaʼa; ‘Isin maaliif loluuf akkas magaalaa sanatti dhiʼaattan? Isin akka isaan dallaa irraa xiyya isinitti darbatan hin beeknee?
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.’”
Eenyutu Abiimelek ilma Yirubesheet sana ajjeese? Dubartiin tokko dallaa irraa majii dhagaa daakuu itti gad dhiiftee Tebeesitti isa hin ajjeefnee? Isin maaliif akkas dallaa sanatti dhiʼaattan?’ Yoo inni waan kana si gaafate, ‘Tajaajilaan kee Uuriyaan namichi gosa Heet sunis duʼeera’ jedhii itti himi.”
22 The messenger left, and when he arrived he told David everything Joab had directed him to say.
Ergamaan sunis kaʼee deemee yommuu achi gaʼetti waan Yooʼaab akka inni itti himu isa ajaje hunda Daawititti hime.
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.
Ergamaan sun Daawitiin akkana jedhe; “Namoonni nutti jabaatanii dirreetti gad nutti baʼan; nus ariinee gara karra magaalattiitti isaan deebifne.
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.”
Ergasiis warri xiyya darbatan dallaa irraa tajaajiltoota keetti darbatan; namoonni mootii tokko tokkos ni duʼan. Tajaajilaan kee Uuriyaan namichi Heet sunis ni duʼe.”
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.”
Daawitis ergamaa sanaan, “Egaa akkana jedhii Yooʼaabitti himi; ‘Wanni kun abdii si hin kutachiisin; goraadeen yeroo tokko isa tokko, yeroo kaan immoo kan biraa nyaata. Cimsii magaalattii dhaʼiitii balleessi.’ Waan kanas Yooʼaabin jajjabeessuuf jedhi” jedhe.
26 When Uriah's wife heard that her husband was dead, she mourned for him.
Niitiin Uuriyaa yommuu akka dhirsi ishee duʼe dhageessetti ni boosseef.
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.
Erga yeroon booʼichaa darbee booddee Daawit mana ofii isaatti ishee fudhate; isheenis niitii isaa taatee ilma deesseef. Garuu wanni Daawit hojjete sun Waaqayyo hin gammachiisne.
