< 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.
Ary rehefa niherina ny taona, ka mby amin’ ny andro fandehanan’ ny mpanjaka hiady, dia naniraka an’ i Joaba sy ny mpanompony ary ny Isiraely rehetra Davida, ka nandringana ny taranak’ i Amona ireo sady nanao fahirano an’ i Raha; fa Davida kosa nijanona tany Jerosalema ihany.
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.
Ary nony harivariva, dia niala tao am-pandriany Davida ka nitsangantsangana teo an-tampon’ ny lapa; ary raha teo izy dia nahatazana vehivavy mandro; ary ravehivavy dia tsara tarehy maha-te-hijery.
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?"
Ary Davida dia naniraka hanontany ny amin-dravehivavy. Ary nisy nanao hoe: Tsy iny va no Batseba, zanakavavin’ i Eliama, sady vadin’ i Oria Hetita?
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.
Ary Davida naniraka olona ka nampaka azy; dia tonga tao aminy izy ka nandriany. Ary ravehivavy nanamasina ny tenany ho afaka tamin’ ny halotoany, dia nody tany an-tranony.
5 The woman conceived; and she sent and told David, and said, "I'm pregnant."
Ary nanan’ anaka ravehivavy ka naniraka hilaza tamin’ i Davida hoe: Manan’ anaka aho.
6 Then David sent to Joab and said, "Send me Uriah the Hethite." So Joab sent Uriah to him.
Ary Davida naniraka tany amin’ i Joaba hanao hoe: Asaovy mankaty amiko kely Oria Hetita. Dia nasain’ i Joaba nankany amin’ i Davida Oria.
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."
Ary nony tonga teo amin’ i Davida izy, dia nanontaniany ny toetr’ i Joaba sy ny olona ary ny toetry ny ady.
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.
Ary hoy Davida tamin’ i Oria: Andeha ary mody, ka sasao ny tongotrao. Ary Oria niala tao an-tranon’ ny mpanjaka, ary dia nampanarahina nahandro avy tao amin’ ny mpanjaka izy.
9 But Uriah slept at the king's door with his master's servants, and did not go down to his house.
Nefa Oria nandry teo am-baravarana ny tranon’ ny mpanjaka, teo amin’ ny mpanompon’ ny tompony rehetra, fa tsy nidina nody tany an-tranony izy tsy akory.
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?"
Ary nisy nanambara tamin’ i Davida hoe: Tsy nidina nody tany an-tranony Oria. Dia hoy Davida tamin’ i Oria: Tsy avy lavitra va ianao? koa nahoana ianao no tsy midìna mody any an-tranonao?
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."
Fa hoy Oria tamin’ i Davida: Ny fiara sy ny Isiraely ary ny Joda mitoetra amin’ ny trano rantsan-kazo; ary Joaba tompoko sy ny mpanompon’ ny tompoko mitoby any an-tsaha, ka izaho kosa va hody any an-tranoko hihinana sy hisotro ary handry amin’ ny vadiko? Raha velona koa ianao, ary raha velona koa ny ainao, tsy hanao izany aho.
12 Then David said to Uriah, "Stay here today also, and tomorrow I will let you depart." So Uriah stayed in Jerusalem that day.
Ary hoy Davida tamin’ i Oria: Mitoera ihany ary atỳ anio, fa rahampitso dia halefako ianao. Dia nitoetra tany Jerosalema androtrizay sy ny ampitson’ iny Oria.
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.
Ary nasain’ i Davida izy, dia nihinana sy nisotro teo anatrehany, ka nomamoiny, ary nony hariva dia nivoaka izy ka nandry teo amin’ ilay nandriany teo amin’ ny mpanompon’ ny tompony ihany, fa tsy nidina nody tany an-tranony.
14 It happened in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah.
Ary nony maraina, Davida dia nanoratra taratasy ho any amin’ i Joaba, ka nampitondrainy an’ i Oria izany.
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."
Ary izao no soratra nataony tao amin’ ny taratasy: Arosoinareo amin’ ny ady mafy Oria; dia ilaozy izy mba hasiany ho faty.
16 It happened, when Joab kept watch on the city, that he assigned Uriah to the place where he knew that valiant men were.
Ary raha mbola nanao fahirano ny tanàna Joaba, dia nanendry an’ i Oria ho eo amin’ izay hitany misy lehilahy mahery.
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.
Ary ny mponina tao an-tanàna nivoaka hiady amin’ i Joaba, ka nahafatesana ny mpanompon’ i Davida, ary maty koa Oria Hetita.
18 Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war;
Ary Joaba naniraka hilaza tsara any amin’ i Davida ny toetry ny ady;
19 and he commanded the messenger, saying, "When you have finished telling all the things concerning the war to the king,
ary nandidy ilay iraka izy hoe: Rehefa voalazanao tsara amin’ ny mpanjaka ny toetry ny ady,
20 if it happens that he becomes angry,
ka tezitra ny mpanjaka ary manao aminao hoe: Nahoana no nanakaiky ny tanàna toy izany ianareo raha niady? Tsy fantatrareo va fa hitifitra eo amin’ ny manda izy?
21 then you are to say, 'Your servant Uriah the Hethite is dead also.'"
Fa iza no namely an’ i Abimeleka, zanak’ i Jerobeseta? Moa tsy vehivavy va no nanjera vato fikosoham-bary taminy avy teo amin’ ny manda, ka dia maty tao Tebeza izy? Koa nahoana no nanakaiky ny manda ianareo? dia ataovy hoe: Oria Hetita mpanomponao mba maty koa.
22 So the messenger of Joab went to the king in Jerusalem and reported to David everything that Joab had told him.
Ary nandeha ilay iraka, dia tonga tamin’ i Davida ka nanambara taminy izay rehetra nanirahan’ i Joaba azy.
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,
Ary hoy ny iraka tamin’ i Davida: Nahery noho izahay ireny, ary nivoahany tany an-tsaha izahay, ka dia nenjehinay hatreo anoloan’ ny vavahady kosa izy.
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 he said to the king, ] "Also your servant Uriah the Hethite is dead."
Ary ny mpitifitra teo amin’ ny manda nitifitra ny mpanomponao; ary nahafatesana ny mpanompon’ ny mpanjaka, ary Oria Hetita mpanomponao mba maty koa.
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."
Dia hoy Davida tamin’ ny iraka: Izao no holazainao amin’ i Joaba: Aza malahelo amin’ izany ianao, fa ny sabatra tsy mifidy hasiana; herezo ihany ny adinao amin’ ny tanàna, ka ravao izy. Ary omeo toky Joaba.
26 When the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she made lamentation for her husband.
Ary nony ren’ ny vadin’ i Oria fa maty ny lahy, dia nisaona azy izy.
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.
Ary rehefa afa-tsaona izy, dia nampanalain’ i Davida ho any an-tranony, ary dia novadiny izy ka niteraka zazalahy taminy. Nefa tsy sitrak’ i Jehovah izany nataon’ i Davida izany.
