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 rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ya kĩmera yaakinya ihinda rĩrĩa athamaki maathiiaga mbaara-inĩ-rĩ, Daudi agĩtũma Joabu hamwe na andũ a mũthamaki na mbũtũ ciothe cia mbaara cia andũ a Isiraeli. Makĩananga Aamoni magĩcooka makĩrigiicĩria Raba. Nowe Daudi agĩtigwo Jerusalemu.
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.
Hwaĩ-inĩ ũmwe-rĩ, Daudi agĩũkĩra akiuma gĩtanda-inĩ gĩake agĩthiĩ gũceeranga kũu igũrũ rĩa nyũmba ya ũthamaki. Arĩ nyũmba igũrũ akĩona mũndũ-wa-nja agĩĩthamba. Mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio aarĩ mũthaka mũno,
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?"
nake Daudi agĩtũma mũndũ agatuĩrie ũhoro wake. Mũndũ ũcio akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Githĩ ũcio ti Bathisheba, mwarĩ wa Eliamu mũtumia wa Uria ũrĩa Mũhiti?”
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.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Daudi agĩtũma andũ makamũgĩĩre. Mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio agĩũka kũrĩ Daudi, nake agĩkoma nake. (Nĩgũkorwo nĩethereetie ihinda rĩake rĩa mweri), nake agĩgĩĩcookera gwake mũciĩ.
5 The woman conceived; and she sent and told David, and said, "I'm pregnant."
Mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio akĩgĩa nda na agĩtũmanĩra Daudi, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndĩ na nda.”
6 Then David sent to Joab and said, "Send me Uriah the Hethite." So Joab sent Uriah to him.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Daudi agĩtũma mũndũ athiĩ kũrĩ Joabu amwĩre atĩrĩ: “Ndũmĩra Uria ũrĩa Mũhiti.” Nake Joabu agĩtũma Uria kũrĩ Daudi.
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."
Rĩrĩa Uria ookire, Daudi akĩmũũria ũhoro wa ũrĩa Joabu aatariĩ, na ũhoro wa ũrĩa thigari ciatariĩ, na ũrĩa mbaara yathiiaga na mbere.
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.
Ningĩ Daudi akĩĩra Uria atĩrĩ, “Ikũrũka gwaku mũciĩ ũgethambe magũrũ.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Uria akiuma nyũmba ya ũthamaki, na akĩrũmĩrĩrio kĩheo kuuma kũrĩ mũthamaki.
9 But Uriah slept at the king's door with his master's servants, and did not go down to his house.
No Uria agĩkoma itoonyero-inĩ rĩa nyũmba ya ũthamaki hamwe na ndungata ciothe cia mwathi wake, na ndaigana gũikũrũka athiĩ gwake mũciĩ.
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?"
Rĩrĩa Daudi eerirwo atĩrĩ, “Uria ndaanathiĩ mũciĩ,” akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Githĩ to hĩndĩ woka kuuma kũraya? Nĩ kĩĩ kĩragiririe ũthiĩ mũciĩ?”
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 YHWH lives, and as you live, I will not do this thing."
Uria akĩĩra Daudi atĩrĩ, “Ithandũkũ rĩa Jehova, na andũ a Isiraeli na a Juda maikarĩte hema-inĩ, na mwathi wakwa Joabu na andũ a mwathi wakwa maikarĩte kambĩ kũu werũ-inĩ. Ingĩrahotire atĩa gũthiĩ mũciĩ gwakwa, ngarĩe na nganyue, na ngome na mũtumia wakwa? Ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa ũtũũraga muoyo, ndingĩĩka ũndũ ta ũcio!”
12 Then David said to Uriah, "Stay here today also, and tomorrow I will let you depart." So Uriah stayed in Jerusalem that day.
Ningĩ Daudi akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ikara gũkũ mũthenya ũngĩ ũmwe, na rũciũ nĩngagũtũma ũcooke.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Uria agĩikara Jerusalemu mũthenya ũcio na ũcio ũngĩ warũmĩrĩire.
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.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Daudi aamwĩtire, akĩrĩĩanĩra na akĩnyuuanĩra nake, ningĩ Daudi agĩtũma arĩĩo nĩ njoohi. No hwaĩ-inĩ Uria agĩthiĩ gũkoma mũgeeka-inĩ wake arĩ hamwe na ndungata cia mwathi wake; ndaigana gũthiĩ gwake mũciĩ.
14 It happened in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah.
Rũciinĩ Daudi akĩandĩkĩra Joabu marũa, akĩmanengera Uria atware.
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."
Marũa macio maandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ, “Twara Uria harĩa mbaara ĩĩhĩire mũno. Ũcooke ũmũtiganĩrie nĩgeetha ooragwo.”
16 It happened, when Joab kept watch on the city, that he assigned Uriah to the place where he knew that valiant men were.
Rĩrĩa Joabu aarigiicĩirie itũũra rĩrĩa inene, akĩiga Uria harĩa aamenyaga nĩho haarĩ agitĩri arĩa maarĩ njamba.
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.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa andũ a itũũra rĩu inene mookire kũrũa na Joabu-rĩ, andũ amwe a mbũtũ cia ita cia Daudi makĩũragwo; o nake Uria ũrĩa Mũhiti agĩkua.
18 Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war;
Joabu agĩtũma mũndũ kũrĩ Daudi akamũhe ũhoro wothe wa mbaara ĩyo.
19 and he commanded the messenger, saying, "When you have finished telling all the things concerning the war to the king,
Nake agĩatha mũndũ ũcio aatũmire atĩrĩ: “Warĩkia kũhe mũthamaki ũhoro ũyũ wothe wa mbaara,
20 if it happens that he becomes angry,
marakara ma mũthamaki maahota kũrĩrĩmbũka, nake aahota gũkũũria atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmire mũkuhĩrĩrie mũno itũũra inene mũkarũe? Kaĩ mũtooĩ atĩ no mamũrathe na mĩguĩ marĩ rũthingo-inĩ?
21 then you are to say, 'Your servant Uriah the Hethite is dead also.'"
Nũũ woragire Abimeleku mũrũ wa Jerubu-Beshethu? Githĩ ti mũndũ-wa-nja wamũikĩirie ihiga rĩa gĩthĩi arĩ rũthingo-inĩ igũrũ? Githĩ ti kĩo gĩatũmire akuĩre kũu Thebezu? Nĩ kĩĩ kĩratũmire mũthiĩ hakuhĩ mũno na rũthingo?’ Angĩgakũũria ũguo-rĩ, nawe ũkaamũcookeria atĩrĩ, ‘O nayo ndungata yaku, Uria ũrĩa Mũhiti nĩmũkuũ.’”
22 So the messenger of Joab went to the king in Jerusalem and reported to David everything that Joab had told him.
Nake mũndũ ũcio akiumagara agĩthiĩ, na aakinya, akĩĩra Daudi maũndũ mothe marĩa Joabu aamũtũmĩte akoige.
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,
Nake mũndũ ũcio watũmĩtwo akĩĩra Daudi atĩrĩ, “Andũ acio maratũkĩririe hinya, marooka kũrũa na ithuĩ werũ-inĩ, no tũrakĩmahũndũra nginya itoonyero-inĩ rĩa kĩhingo gĩa itũũra rĩrĩa inene.
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."
Hĩndĩ ĩyo aikia a mĩguĩ maraikĩria ndungata ciaku mĩguĩ marĩ rũthingo igũrũ, na andũ amwe a mũthamaki nĩmakuĩte. O na ningĩ ndungata yaku, Uria ũrĩa Mũhiti, nĩĩkuĩte.”
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."
Nake Daudi akĩĩra mũndũ ũcio atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ wĩre Joabu atĩrĩ: ‘Tiga kũigua ũũru nĩ ũhoro ũcio; rũhiũ rũniinaga mũndũ ũmwe o ta ũrĩa rũniinaga ũrĩa ũngĩ. Thiĩ na mbere gũtharĩkĩra itũũra rĩu inene ũrĩanange.’ Wĩre Joabu ũguo nĩgeetha ũmũũmĩrĩrie.”
26 When the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she made lamentation for her husband.
Rĩrĩa mũtumia wa Uria aiguire atĩ mũthuuriwe nĩakuĩte-rĩ, akĩmũcakaĩra.
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 YHWH.
Ihinda rĩa gũcakaya rĩathira-rĩ, Daudi akiuga areehwo gwake nyũmba, nake agĩtuĩka mũtumia wake, na akĩmũciarĩra kahĩĩ. No rĩrĩ, ũndũ ũcio Daudi ekĩte nĩwarakaririe Jehova.
