2 Samuel 11
1 And it comes to pass, at the revolution of the year—at the time of the going out of the messengers—that David sends Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel, and they destroy the sons of Ammon, and lay siege against Rabbah, but David is dwelling in Jerusalem.
Nʼoge ọkọchị, mgbe ndị eze na-apụ ibu agha, Devid zipụrụ Joab ọchịagha ya, na ndị agha Izrel. Ha bibiri ndị Amọn, nọchibidokwa Raba. Ma Devid nọdụrụ na Jerusalem.
2 And it comes to pass, at evening-time, that David rises from off his bed, and walks up and down on the roof of the king’s house, and sees a woman bathing from the roof, and the woman [is] of very good appearance,
Nʼotu uhuruchi, Devid sitere nʼihe ndina ya bilie, gagharịa nʼelu ụlọeze ya. Ọ sitere nʼelu ụlọ ahụ hụ otu nwanyị na-asa ahụ. Nwanyị ahụ mara mma nke ukwu nʼile anya.
3 and David sends and inquires about the woman, and [someone] says, “Is this not Bathsheba, daughter of Eliam, wife of Uriah the Hittite?”
Devid ziri ozi ka a jụta onye nwanyị ahụ bụ, ma a gwara ya na ọ bụ Batsheba, nwa Eliam, nwunye Ụraya onye Het.
4 And David sends messengers, and takes her, and she comes to him, and he lies with her—and she is purifying herself from her uncleanness—and she turns back to her house;
Devid ziri ka a gaa kpọta ya. Mgbe ọ bịara, ya na Devid dinara. (Ka ọ ghụchasịrị onwe ya site nʼadịghị ọcha ya nke ọnwa ahụ.) Ọ laghachiri nʼụlọ ya.
5 and the woman conceives, and sends, and declares [it] to David, and says, “I [am] conceiving.”
Nwanyị a mechara dị ime, bịa ziga ozi ka agwa Devid. Ọ sịrị, “Adị m ime.”
6 And David sends to Joab, [saying], “Send Uriah the Hittite to me,” and Joab sends Uriah to David;
Mgbe Devid nụrụ ya, o zigaara Joab ozi sị ya, “Zitere m Ụraya, onye Het.”
7 and Uriah comes to him, and David asks of the prosperity of Joab, and of the prosperity of the people, and of the prosperity of the war.
Mgbe Ụraya bịakwutere ya, Devid jụrụ ya otu Joab mere, na otu ndị agha Izrel dị na otu agha si aga.
8 And David says to Uriah, “Go down to your house, and wash your feet”; and Uriah goes out of the king’s house, and there goes out a gift from the king after him,
Devid sịrị Ụraya, “Laa nʼụlọ gị gaa saa ụkwụ gị.” Ụraya si nʼụlọeze pụọ. E zipụkwara onyinye nke ndị na-ejere eze ozi ji sochie ya azụ.
9 and Uriah lies down at the opening of the king’s house, with all the servants of his lord, and has not gone down to his house.
Ma Ụraya agaghị nʼụlọ ya. Kama o so ndị na-ejere eze ozi dinaa nʼọnụ ụzọ e si abata ụlọeze.
10 And they declare [it] to David, saying, “Uriah has not gone down to his house”; and David says to Uriah, “Have you not come from a journey? Why have you not gone down to your house?”
Mgbe a gwara Devid na Ụraya alaghị nʼụlọ ya, Devid kpọrọ Ụraya, jụọ ya ajụjụ sị, “Ọ bụghị ije dị anya ka i si lọta? Gịnị mere ị larughị nʼụlọ gị?”
11 And Uriah says to David, “The ark, and Israel, and Judah, are abiding in shelters, and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamping on the face of the field; and should I go to my house to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? [By] your life and the life of your soul—if I do this thing.”
Ụraya zara Devid, “Lee, igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị, na Izrel na Juda niile nọ nʼụlọ ikwu. Nna m ukwu Joab na ndị agha nna m ukwu nọ nʼọhịa. M ga-esi aṅaa laa nʼụlọ m, iri na ịṅụ ihe ọṅụṅụ na isoro nwunye m dinaa? Ana m aṅụ iyi na agaghị m eme ihe dị otu a.”
12 And David says to Uriah, “Also abide in this [place] today, and tomorrow I send you away”; and Uriah abides in Jerusalem on that day and on the next day,
Devid gwara ya sị, “Ọ dị mma, nọdụ nʼebe a taa, echi ị ga-alaghachikwa nʼọgbọ agha.” Ụraya kwenyere nọdụ na Jerusalem ụbọchị ahụ, nakwa ụbọchị na-eso ya.
13 and David calls for him, and he eats before him, and drinks, and he causes him to drink, and he goes out in the evening to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, and he has not gone down to his house.
Emesịa, Devid kpọrọ ya oriri, meekwa ya ka ọ ṅụbiga mmanya oke, ma nke a emeghị ka ọ laa nʼụlọ ya nʼabalị ahụ, kama ọ bụkwa nʼọnụ ụzọ e si abata ụlọeze ka o dinara nʼetiti ndị na-ejere eze ozi.
14 And it comes to pass in the morning that David writes a letter to Joab and sends [it] by the hand of Uriah;
Nʼụtụtụ echi ya, Devid degaara Joab akwụkwọ, zighachịkwa ya site nʼaka Ụraya.
15 and he writes in the letter, saying, “Place Uriah in front of the face of the most severe battle, and you have turned back from after him, and he has been struck, and has died.”
Ihe ọ dere nʼakwụkwọ ahụ bụ nke a, “Tinye Ụraya nʼihu agha ebe ọgụ siri ike. Mgbe ndị iro na-apụkwute unu, laanụ azụ, ma hapụnụ Ụraya nʼihu ọgụ ka ndị iro gbuo ya.”
16 And it comes to pass in Joab’s watching of the city, that he appoints Uriah to the place where he knew that valiant men [were];
Ya mere, mgbe Joab gbara obodo ahụ gburugburu, o tinyere Ụraya nʼebe ọ maara na ndị dị ike nʼetiti ndị iro ha nọ.
17 and the men of the city go out and fight with Joab, and [some] of the people, from the servants of David, fall; and Uriah the Hittite also dies.
Ndị ikom obodo ahụ pụtara buso Joab agha. Ụfọdụ ndị agha Devid nwụrụ. Ụraya onye Het, so na ndị egburu.
18 And Joab sends and declares to David all the matters of the war,
Mgbe ahụ, Joab zigara ozi gwa Devid otu agha si na-aga,
19 and commands the messenger, saying, “At your finishing all the matters of the war to speak to the king,
Ọ gwara onyeozi ahụ sị, “Mgbe ị gwachara eze akụkọ ihe gbasara otu agha si gaa
20 then, it has been, if the king’s fury ascends, and he has said to you, Why did you draw near to the city to fight? Did you not know that they shoot from off the wall?
iwe nwere ike iwe eze nke ukwu, na o nwere ike jụọ gị sị, ‘Gịnị mere unu ji gaa mgbidi obodo ahụ nso ịlụ agha? Ọ bụ na unu amaghị na a ga-esi nʼelu mgbidi ahụ gbaa àkụ?
21 Who struck Abimelech son of Jerubbesheth? Did a woman not cast a piece of a rider from the wall on him, and he dies in Thebez? Why did you draw near to the wall? That you have said, Also—your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead.”
Onye gburu Abimelek nwa Jeru-Beshet? Ọ bụghị na mgbidi obodo ka nwanyị nọ tụdaa aka nkume dagburu ya na Tebez? Gịnị mere unu ji jeruo mgbidi ahụ nso?’ Ọ bụrụ na ọ jụọ gị ihe dị otu a, gwa ya, ‘Ohu gị bụ Ụraya, onye Het anwụọkwala.’”
22 And the messenger goes, and comes in, and declares to David all that with which Joab sent him,
Onyeozi ahụ biliri ije, mgbe o rutere, ọ gwara Devid ihe niile Joab ziri ya ka o zie.
23 and the messenger says to David, “Surely the men have been mighty against us, and come out to us into the field, and we are on them to the opening of the gate,
Onyeozi ahụ sịrị Devid, “Ndị ikom ahụ ji ike karịrị anyị, ha pụtara ị buso anyị agha na mbara ma anyị chụghachiri ha azụ. Chụruo ha nʼọnụ ụzọ ama obodo ahụ.
24 and those shooting shoot at your servants from off the wall, and [some] of the servants of the king are dead, and also, your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead.”
Mgbe ahụ, ndị ọgba ụta sitere nʼelu mgbidi malite ịgba ndị ohu gị àkụ, ụfọdụ nʼime ndị ikom eze nwụrụ. Ohu gị Ụraya, onye Het, sokwa na ndị nwụrụ.”
25 And David says to the messenger, “Thus you say to Joab, Do not let this thing be evil in your eyes; for thus and thus the sword devours; strengthen your warfare against the city, and throw it down; so you strengthen him.”
Devid sịrị onyeozi ahụ, “Otu a ka ị ga-agwa Joab, ‘Ka ihe a ghara iwute gị nʼobi, nʼihi na mma agha na-egbu otu onye dịka o si egbu onye ọzọ. Lụsie ọgụ ike, lụgbukwaa obodo ahụ.’ Jiri okwu ndị a gbaa ya ume.”
26 And the wife of Uriah hears that her husband Uriah [is] dead, and laments for her lord;
Mgbe nwunye Ụraya nụrụ na di ya anwụọla, o ruru ụjụ nʼihi ya.
27 and the mourning passes by, and David sends and gathers her to his house, and she is to him for a wife, and bears a son to him; and the thing which David has done is evil in the eyes of YHWH.
Mgbe oge iru ụjụ ya gabigara, Devid ziri ka a kpọta ya nʼụlọeze. Ọ ghọkwara nwunye ya. Mụọra ya nwa nwoke. Ma ihe Devid mere jọrọ njọ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị.
