< 2 Samuel 11 >

1 It happened, at the return of the year, at the time when kings go out, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the people of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem.
Na mobu oyo elandaki, na tango oyo bakonzi bazalaka na momesano ya kokende na bitumba, Davidi atindaki Joabi elongo na basali na ye mpe mampinga nyonso ya Isalaele. Babomaki bato ya Amoni mpe bazingelaki Raba. Kasi Davidi atikalaki na Yelusalemi.
2 Now it happened one evening that David got up from his bed and walked on the roof of the king's palace; and he saw a woman bathing, and the woman was very beautiful.
Mokolo moko na pokwa, Davidi alamukaki wuta na mbeto na ye mpe atambolaki na veranda ya likolo ya ndako ya mokonzi. Wuta na likolo ya veranda, amonaki mwasi moko azali kosukola. Mwasi yango azalaki kitoko makasi.
3 And David sent and inquired about the woman. And one said, "Isn't this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hethite?"
Davidi atindaki moto moko kokende koluka koyeba soki mwasi yango azali nani. Moto yango alobaki: « Ezali Batisheba, mwana mwasi ya Eliami, mwasi ya Iri, moto ya Iti. »
4 So David sent messengers to get her, and she came in to him, and he lay with her. (For she had been purifying herself from her uncleanness.) And she returned to her house.
Davidi atindaki bantoma mpo na kozwa ye. Batisheba ayaki epai ya Davidi, mpe Davidi asangisaki na ye nzoto. Sima na ye komipetola na mbindo na ye, Batisheba azongaki na ndako na ye.
5 The woman conceived; and she sent and told David, and said, "I'm pregnant."
Akomaki na zemi, mpe atindaki maloba epai ya Davidi: « Nazali na zemi. »
6 Then David sent to Joab and said, "Send me Uriah the Hethite." So Joab sent Uriah to him.
Davidi atindaki maloba epai ya Joabi: « Tindela ngai Iri, moto ya Iti. » Joabi atindaki Iri epai ya Davidi.
7 And Uriah came to him, and David asked about the prosperity of Joab, and of the prosperity of the people, and of the prosperity of the war. And he said, "Its well."
Tango Iri akomaki epai na ye, Davidi atunaki ye soki Joabi azali malamu, soki basoda bazali malamu mpe soki bitumba ezali koleka ndenge nini.
8 And David said to Uriah, "Go down to your house, and wash your feet." So Uriah went out from the presence of the king, and a gift from the king was sent after him.
Bongo Davidi alobaki na Iri: « Kende na ndako na yo mpe sukola makolo na yo. » Iri atikaki ndako ya mokonzi; mpe sima na ye, mokonzi atindelaki ye kado.
9 But Uriah slept at the king's door with his master's servants, and did not go down to his house.
Kasi Iri alalaki na ekotelo ya ndako ya mokonzi elongo na basali nyonso ya mokonzi na ye; akendeki te na ndako na ye.
10 And it was reported to David, saying, "Uriah did not go down to his house." So David said to Uriah, "Haven't you come from a journey? Why did you not go down to your house?"
Tango bayebisaki Davidi ete Iri akendeki na ndako te, atunaki ye: — Boni, yo owuti mosika te? Mpo na nini oboyi kozonga na ndako na yo?
11 And Uriah said to David, "The ark and Israel and Judah are staying in tents; and my lord Joab and the servants of my lord are camped in the open field. Then how can I go to my house to eat and to drink and to lie with my wife? As the LORD lives, and as you live, I will not do this thing."
Iri azongiselaki Davidi: — Sanduku, Isalaele mpe Yuda bazali kovanda na bandako ya kapo; mpe Joabi, nkolo na ngai, elongo na bato na ye bazali kolala libanda kati na zamba. Ndenge nini ngai nakende na ndako na ngai mpo na kolia, komela mpe kolala na mwasi na ngai? Solo, na kombo na yo mokonzi, nakoki kosala likambo ya boye te.
12 Then David said to Uriah, "Stay here today also, and tomorrow I will let you depart." So Uriah stayed in Jerusalem that day.
Davidi alobaki na Iri: — Vanda lisusu awa lelo, bongo lobi nakozongisa yo. Iri avandaki na Yelusalemi mokolo wana mpe mokolo oyo elandaki.
13 And the next day David summoned him, and he ate and drank in his presence, and he became drunk. But in the evening he went out and lay on a bed with his master's servants, and did not go down to his house.
Davidi abengisaki ye. Iri aliaki mpe amelaki elongo na ye, mpe Davidi alangwisaki ye. Kasi na pokwa, Uri abimaki mpo na kokende kolala na mbeto na ye elongo na basali ya mokonzi, kasi akendeki na ndako na ye te.
14 It happened in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah.
Na tongo, Davidi akomelaki Joabi mokanda mpe atindaki yango na nzela ya Iri.
15 He wrote in the letter, saying, "Send Uriah to the forefront of the hottest battle, and retreat from him, that he may be struck down and die."
Kati na mokanda yango, akomaki boye: « Tia Iri na molongo ya liboso, na esika oyo bitumba ezali makasi. Mpe bino, bozonga sima na ye mpo ete babeta ye mpe akufa. »
16 It happened, when Joab kept watch on the city, that he assigned Uriah to the place where he knew that valiant men were.
Joabi oyo azalaki kokengela engumba, atiaki Iri na esika oyo ayebaki ete ezali penza na basoda ya mpiko.
17 The men of the city went out, and fought with Joab. Some of the people fell, even of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hethite died also.
Bongo tango bato ya engumba babimaki mpo na kobundisa Joabi, ndambo ya basoda kati na mampinga ya Davidi bakufaki; Iri, moto ya Iti, mpe akufaki.
18 Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war;
Joabi atindelaki Davidi sango nyonso ya bitumba.
19 and he commanded the messenger, saying, "When you have finished telling all the things concerning the war to the king,
Apesaki mitindo oyo epai ya ntoma: « Tango okosilisa kopesa sango ya bitumba epai ya mokonzi,
20 if it happens that he becomes angry,
mokonzi akoki kotomboka mpe kotuna yo: ‹ Mpo na nini bopusanaki makasi pembeni ya engumba mpo na kobunda? Boyebaki te ete bakokaki kobeta batolotolo wuta na mir?
21 then you are to say, 'Your servant Uriah the Hethite is dead also.'"
Nani abomaki Abimeleki, mwana mobali ya Yerubesheti? Ezalaki te mwasi oyo, wuta na likolo ya mir, abwakelaki ye libanga oyo banikelaka ble, yango wana akufaki na Tebesi? Mpo na nini bopusanaki pembeni ya mir? › Soki atuni yo bongo, loba na ye: ‹ Mosali na yo, Iri, moto ya Iti, mpe akufi. › »
22 So the messenger of Joab went to the king in Jerusalem and reported to David everything that Joab had told him.
Motindami akendeki, mpe tango akomaki, ayebisaki Davidi makambo nyonso oyo Joabi atindaki ye koloba.
23 The messenger said to David, "The men overpowered us, and came out to us into the field, and when we drove them back to the entrance of the gate,
Alobaki na Davidi: — Bato yango bazalaki makasi koleka biso, bayaki kobundisa biso na libanda, mpe tobenganaki bango kino na ekotelo ya engumba.
24 then the arrows came down heavily on your servants from the wall, and some eighteen men of the king's servants died." And the messenger finished the words to the king about the report of the battle. Then David was very angry with Joab, and said to the messenger, "Why did you go so close to the city to fight? Didn't you know you would be struck from the wall? Who struck Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal? Didn't a woman cast an upper millstone on him from the wall so that he died at Thebez? Why did you go so near to the wall?" [Then the messenger said to the king, ] "Also your servant Uriah the Hethite is dead."
Bongo basoda oyo babundaka na batolotolo babetaki na batolotolo na bango basali na yo wuta na likolo ya mir. Ndambo ya bato ya mokonzi bakufaki, ezala mosali na yo, Iri, moto ya Iti, mpe akufaki.
25 Then David said to the messenger, "Thus you shall tell Joab, 'Do not let this thing displease you, for the sword devours one as well as another. Make your battle stronger against the city, and overthrow it.' And encourage him."
Davidi alobaki na ntoma: — Tala makambo oyo okoloba na Joabi: « Tika ete likambo oyo etungisa yo te. Mopanga ekoki koboma songolo to pakala. Sala makasi mpo na kobundisa engumba mpe bebisa yango. » Loba makambo oyo mpo na kolendisa Joabi.
26 When the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she made lamentation for her husband.
Tango mwasi ya Iri ayokaki ete mobali na ye akufi, asalelaki ye matanga.
27 When the mourning was past, David sent and took her home to his house, and she became his wife, and bore him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the LORD.
Sima na matanga, Davidi abengisaki mwasi ya Uri kati na ndako na ye mpe akomisaki ye mwasi na ye. Mwasi yango abotelaki Davidi mwana mobali. Kasi likambo oyo Davidi asalaki esepelisaki Yawe te.
