2 Samuel 11
1 And it came to pass, at the return of the year, at the time of the going forth of kings, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel, and they destroyed the sons of Ammon, and laid siege to Rabbah, —but, David, was remaining in Jerusalem.
Alò, li te fèt pandan prentan an, lè ke wa yo konn sòti batay, ke David te voye Joab, ansanm avèk sèvitè li yo ak tout Israël. Yo te detwi fis a Ammon yo e yo te fè syèj nan Rabba, men David te rete Jérusalem.
2 And it came to pass that, at eventide, David arose from his couch, and walked to and fro on the roof of the king’s house, when, from the roof, he saw a woman bathing herself, —the woman being exceeding beautiful to look upon.
Epi lè lannwit te vin rive, David te leve nan kabann li. Li te mache antoure twati kay wa a, soti nan twati a, li te wè yon fanm ki t ap benyen. Epi fanm nan te byen bèl nan aparans li.
3 And David sent and enquired after the woman, —and one said—Is not, this, Bath-sheba, daughter of Eliam, wife of Uriah the Hittite?
Konsa, David te voye mande konsèy sou fanm sa a. Epi youn te di: “Èske sa se pa Bath-Schéba, fis a Éliam nan, fanm a Urie a, Itit la?”
4 And David sent messengers, and fetched her, and she came in unto him, and he lay with her, she having purified herself from her uncleanness, —and she returned unto her own house.
David te voye mesaje pran li. Lè li te parèt kote li, li te kouche avèk li ( paske li te fin pirifye tèt li de salte a). Epi li te retounen lakay li.
5 And the woman, having conceived, sent and told David, and said, I am with child.
Fanm nan te vin ansent. Li te voye di David: “Mwen ansent.”
6 Then sent David unto Joab, Send unto me Uriah the Hittite. So Joab sent Uriah unto David.
Konsa, David te voye kote Joab. Li te di: “Voye ban mwen Urie, Itit la.” Konsa, Joab te voye Urie kote David.
7 And, when Uriah had come in unto him, David asked—how Joab prospered, and how the people prospered, and how the war prospered.
Lè Urie te vin kote li, David te mande pa sikonstans a Joab avèk tout pèp la ak jan lagè a te mache a.
8 Then said David unto Uriah, Go down unto thy house, and bathe thy feet. And, when Uriah went out of the house of the king, there followed him, a present from the king.
Alò, David te di a Urie: “Desann lakay ou pou lave pye ou.” Epi Urie te desann sòti lakay wa, a e yon kado soti nan men wa a te voye ba li.
9 But Uriah slept at the entrance of the king’s house, with all the servants of his lord, —and went not down unto his own house.
Men Urie te dòmi kote pòt lakay wa a avèk tout sèvitè a mèt li yo. Li pa t desann lakay li.
10 And it was told David, saying, Uriah went not down, unto his own house. So David said unto Uriah—Was it not, from a journey, thou didst come? why, then, hast thou not been down unto thine own house?
Alò, lè yo te di David: “Urie pa t desann lakay li,” David te di a Urie: “Èske ou pa t fenk fin fè yon vwayaj? Poukisa konsa ou pa t desann lakay ou?”
11 And Uriah said unto David—The ark, and Israel and Judah, are dwelling in huts and, my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, on the face of the field, are encamped, Was, I, then, to enter my own house, to eat and to drink and to lie with my wife? By thy life, yea by the life of thy soul, I could not do this thing.
Urie te di a David: “Lach la menm avèk Israël avèk Juda ap rete nan tant yo; epi mèt mwen, Joab avèk sèvitè a mèt mwen yo ap fè kan nan chan louvri. Konsa, kijan mwen kapab ale lakay mwen pou manje bwè e kouche avèk madanm mwen? Pa lavi ou ak lavi nanm ou menm, mwen p ap fè bagay sa a.”
12 Then said David unto Uriah—Abide here to-day also, and, to-morrow, will I let thee go. So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day, and the morrow.
Alò, David te di a Urie: “Rete isit la jodi a tou e demen mwen va kite ou ale.” Konsa, Urie te rete Jérusalem nan jou sa a ak pwochen jou a.
13 And David called him, and he did eat before him, and drank, and he made him drunk, —and he went forth in the evening to lie down on his bed, with the servants of his lord, but, unto his own house, went he not down.
Alò David te rele li, li te manje bwè devan li e li te fè li sou. Epi nan aswè, li te sòti pou kouche sou kabann li avèk sèvitè a mèt li yo, men li pa t desann lakay li.
14 And so it was, in the morning, that David wrote a letter unto Joab, —and sent it by the hand of Uriah;
Alò, nan maten, David te ekri yon lèt a Joab pou te voye li nan men Urie.
15 and he wrote in the letter, saying, —Set ye Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, that he be smitten and die.
Li te ekri nan lèt la, e te di: “Mete Urie pa devan nan chan kote batay la pi rèd la e retounen kite li, pou l kab tonbe mouri.”
16 So it came to pass, when Joab was laying siege to the city, that he put Uriah in the place where he knew that the men of valour, were.
Konsa, se te pandan Joab t ap veye vil la, ke li te mete Urie nan plas kote li te konnen lènmi an te gen mesye vanyan yo.
17 And forth sallied the men of the city, and fought with Joab, and there fell some of the people, of the servants of David, —then died also, Uriah the Hittite.
Mesye vil yo te sòti goumen kont Joab, kèk nan moun pami sèvitè a David yo te tonbe. Epi Urie, Itit la te mouri tou.
18 So Joab sent and told David all the news of the battle;
Alò, Joab te voye bay rapò a David selon tout evenman lagè a.
19 and he charged the messenger saying, —When thou hast ended all the news of the battle, in speaking unto the king,
Li te kòmande mesaje a, e te di: “Lè ou fin pale tout afè lagè yo a wa a,
20 then shall it be, if the king’s anger arise, and he say unto thee, Why came ye near unto the city, to fight? Knew ye not, that they would shoot from off the wall?
epi li vin rive ke kòlè leve nan wa a e li di ou: ‘Poukisa ou te pwoche pre vil la konsa pou goumen? Èske ou pa t konnen ke yo ta tire soti sou miray la?
21 Who smote Abimelech son of Jerubbaal? Did not, a woman, cast on him an upper millstone from off the wall, that he died, in Thebez? Wherefore came ye near unto the wall? Then shalt thou say—Moreover, thy servant, Uriah the Hittite, died.
Se kilès ki te frape Abimélec, fis a Jerubbéscheth la? Èske se pa yon fanm ki te jete yon wòch moulen sou li soti nan miray ki fè l mouri Thébets la? Poukisa ou te pwoche pre miray la?’ epi ou va di: ‘Sèvitè ou a Urie, Itit la, te mouri tou.’”
22 And the messenger went his way, —and came in, and told David, all that Joab had sent him [to tell].
Konsa, mesaje a te pati pou te vin bay rapò a David, de tout sa ke Joab te voye li pale yo.
23 And the messenger said unto David, The men were too strong for us, and sallied forth against us, in the field, —so we were drawn against them as far as the opening of the gate.
Mesaje a te di a David: “Mesye yo te genyen sou nou e te sòti kont nou nan chan an; men nou te peze yo rèd jis rive nan antre pòtay la.
24 Then did the archers shoot upon thy servants, from off the wall, and there died some of the servants of the king, —moreover also, thy servant, Uriah the Hittite, died.
Anplis, mesye banza yo te tire sou sèvitè ou yo soti nan miray la. Konsa, kèk nan sèvitè ou yo mouri, e sèvitè ou a, Urie, Etyen an mouri osi.”
25 Then said David unto the messenger—Thus, shalt thou say unto Joab, —Let not this thing be grievous in thine eyes, for, now this one, and then that one, doth the sword devour, —make hot thy battle against the city, and overthrow it; Thus embolden thou him.
Alò David te di a mesaje a: “Konsa ou va pale Joab, ‘Pa kite bagay sa a fè ou mal, paske nepe a devore youn menm jan ke yon lòt. Fè batay ou kont vil la vin pi rèd pou boulvèse li’. Se konsa pou ankouraje li.”
26 And, when Uriah’s wife heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she made loud lamentation over her lord.
Alò, lè madanm a Urie te tande ke Urie, mari li a, te mouri, li te kriye pou mari li.
27 And, when the time of mourning had passed, David sent and received her into his house, and she became his wife, and bare him a son. But the thing which David had done was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh.
Lè tan kriye a te fini, David te voye mennen li lakay li, li te devni madanm li, e li te fè yon fis pou li. Men bagay ke David te fè a te mal nan zye SENYÈ a.
