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.
Yac tok ah, ke pacl sak uh mutawauk in srun tukun pacl in mihsrisr, ac tokosra uh wacna som nu ke mweun, David el supwalla Joab ac un mwet mweun lun Israel wi mwet kol lalos. Elos kutangla mwet Ammon, ac sruokya siti Rabbah. A David el mutana Jerusalem.
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.
Sie len ah ke tafun len tok, David el tukakek liki pacl in mongla lal, ac som nu ke sawalsrisr se lucng ke lohm sin tokosra. Ke el forfor we, el liye sie mutan yihyih in lohm sel, ac mutan sac arulana kato.
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?
David el supwala mwet se in siyuk lah su mutan sac, na fwackyang nu sel, “El pa Bathsheba, acn natul Eliam ac mutan kial Uriah mwet Hit.”
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.
Na David el supwala kutu mwet in usalu. Elos usalu nu yorol, na David el ona yorol. (Mutan sac tufahna aksafyela aknasnas lal ke malem.) Na el folokla nu lohm sel.
5 And the woman, having conceived, sent and told David, and said, I am with child.
Tok kutu el konauk lac el pitutu, ac sapla fahk nu sel David.
6 Then sent David unto Joab, Send unto me Uriah the Hittite. So Joab sent Uriah unto David.
Na David el supwala kas nu sel Joab, “Supwalma Uriah mwet Hit nu yuruk.” Ouinge Joab el supwalla nu yorol 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.
Ke Uriah el sun acn we, David el siyuk sel lah Joab ac mwet mweun lal ah fuka, oayapa fuka mweun ah.
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.
Na el fahk nu sel Uriah, “Fahla mongla lohm sum ah.” Na Uriah el som ac David el supwala pac sie mwe lung nu lohm sel ah.
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.
Tusruktu Uriah el tiana som nu lohm sel ah. El motullana ke mutunpot nu ke lohm sin tokosra yurin mwet topang lun tokosra.
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?
Ke David el lohng lah Uriah el tiana som nu lohm sel ah, el siyuk sel, “Kom tufahna foloko tukun pacl loes kom wanginla, ac efu ku kom tia som nu lohm sum ah?”
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.
Na Uriah el fahk, “Mwet Israel ac Judah elos oasr ke nien mweun, ac Tuptup in Wuleang oasr pac yorolos. Joab, captain luk, ac mwet kol nukewa su welul elos muta ke iwen aktuktuk e yen mwesis. Na fuka tuh ngan som nu lohm sik ac mongo, nim, ac motul yurin mutan kiuk ah? Nga fulahk ke ma mutal nukewa lah nga tia ku in oru ouingan!”
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.
Na David el fahk, “Muta inge misenge, ac lutu nga ac fah folokinkomla.” Ouinge Uriah el muta Jerusalem ke len sac ac ke len se tok ah.
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.
David el solal elan welul mongo in eku, ac oru el sruhila. Tusruktu Uriah el tia pac som nu lohm sel fong sac, a el motulla fin kaot lal ah yurin mwet topang lun tokosra.
14 And so it was, in the morning, that David wrote a letter unto Joab, —and sent it by the hand of Uriah;
Lotutang in len tok ah, David el simusla leta se nu sel Joab, ac sang Uriah el us.
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.
El sim ouinge: “Likilya Uriah ke tak soko emeet an, yen ma upa mweun we ah, na foloki lukel in mau anwuki el.”
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.
Ouinge ke Joab el raunela siti sac, el supwalla Uriah nu yen se el etu lah mwet na fokoko inmasrlon mwet lokoalok lalos ac mweun we.
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.
Un mwet mweun uh illa liki siti uh ac mweuni mwet lal Joab. Kutu sin mwet mweun fulat lal David ah anwuki, ac Uriah pa sie.
18 So Joab sent and told David all the news of the battle;
Na Joab el supwala kas nu yorol David in fahk ke luman mweun sac,
19 and he charged the messenger saying, —When thou hast ended all the news of the battle, in speaking unto the king,
ac el fahk nu sin mwet se ma us kas sac, “Tukun kom srumun ke mweun uh nu sel tokosra,
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?
sahp el ku in kasrkusrak ac siyuk sum, ‘Efu komtal ku som arulana fototo nu ke siti uh in mweunelos? Mea, komtal nikin lah elos ac pisrki komtal in pot ah me?
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.
Mea, komtal mulkunla ke luman misa lal Abimelech, wen natul Gideon? Ma sac orek in acn Thebez, ke mutan se sisya eot in ilil se fin pot ah twe unilya. Na pa efu ku komtal som arulana apkuran nu ke pot ah?’ Tokosra el fin siyuk ma inge sum, kom fah fahk nu sel, ‘Uriah, sie sin captain lom ah, wi pac anwuki!’”
22 And the messenger went his way, —and came in, and told David, all that Joab had sent him [to tell].
Ouinge mwet utuk kas sac som nu yorol David ac fahk ma nukewa Joab el sapkin elan tuh fahk ah.
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.
El fahk, “Mwet lokoalok lasr ah tuh ku liki kut na. Elos illa liki siti ah, ac mweuni kut yen turangang, tusruk kut ukwalosyak nwe ke mutunpot in siti ah.
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.
Na elos pisrik kut ke pot uh me, ac kutu sin captain lun mwet mweun lun tokosra elos anwuki. Uriah, sie sin captain lom an, el wi pac anwuki.”
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.
David el fahk nu sin mwet utuk kas sac, “Sang kas in akkeyal Joab, ac fahk nu sel elan tia toasrla, mweyen kut tia ku in etu lah su ac misa ke mweun uh. Fahk nu sel elan sifilpa mweuni siti sac ku liki meet, ac eisla.”
26 And, when Uriah’s wife heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she made loud lamentation over her lord.
Ke Bathsheba el lohngak lah mukul tumal ah misa, el arulana tung kacl.
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.
Ke safla pacl in asor lal ah, David el sap in utuku Bathsheba nu in lohm sin tokosra. El payukyak sel, ac Bathsheba el oswela wen se nu sel. Tusruktu, LEUM GOD El tia insewowo ke ma David el oru inge.
