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.

A kad proðe godina, u vrijeme kad carevi idu na vojsku, posla David Joava i sluge svoje s njim, i svega Izrailja, te potirahu sinove Amonove, i opkoliše Ravu; a David osta u Jerusalimu.

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.

I pred veèe usta David s postelje svoje, i hodajuæi po krovu carskoga dvora ugleda s krova ženu gdje se mije, a žena bijaše vrlo lijepa na oèi.

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?

I David posla da propitaju za ženu i rekoše: nije li to Vitsaveja kæi Elijamova žena Urije Hetejina?

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.

I David posla poslanike da je dovedu; i kad doðe k njemu, on leže s njom, a ona se bješe oèistila od neèistote svoje; poslije se vrati svojoj kuæi.

5 And the woman, having conceived, sent and told David, and said, I am with child.

I zatrudnje žena, te posla i javi Davidu govoreæi: trudna sam.

6 Then sent David unto Joab, Send unto me Uriah the Hittite. So Joab sent Uriah unto David.

Tada David posla k Joavu i poruèi: pošlji mi Uriju Hetejina. I posla Joav Uriju k Davidu.

7 And, when Uriah had come in unto him, David asked—how Joab prospered, and how the people prospered, and how the war prospered.

I kad Urija doðe k njemu, zapita ga David kako je Joav i kako je narod i kako ide rat.

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.

Potom reèe David Uriji: idi kuæi svojoj, i operi noge svoje. I Urija izide iz careva dvora, a za njim iznesoše jelo carsko.

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.

Ali Urija leže na vratima dvora careva sa svijem slugama gospodara svojega, i ne otide kuæi svojoj.

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?

I javiše Davidu govoreæi: Urija nije otišao kuæi svojoj. A David reèe Uriji: nijesi li došao s puta? zašto ne ideš kuæi svojoj?

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.

A Urija reèe Davidu: kovèeg i Izrailj i Juda stoje po šatorima, i Joav gospodar moj i sluge gospodara mojega stoje u polju, pa kako bih ja ušao u kuæu svoju da jedem i pijem i spavam sa ženom svojom? Tako ti bio živ i tako bila živa duša tvoja, neæu to uèiniti.

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.

Tada reèe David Uriji: ostani ovdje još danas, pa æu te sjutra otpustiti. Tako osta Urija u Jerusalimu onaj dan i sjutradan.

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.

I pozva ga David da jede i pije s njim, te ga opije. A uveèe otide, te leže na postelju svoju sa slugama gospodara svojega, a kuæi svojoj ne otide.

14 And so it was, in the morning, that David wrote a letter unto Joab, —and sent it by the hand of Uriah;

A ujutru napisa David knjigu Joavu, i posla po Uriji.

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.

A u knjizi pisa i reèe: namjestite Uriju gdje je najžešæi boj, pa se uzmaknite od njega da bi ga ubili da pogine.

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.

I Joav opkolivši grad namjesti Uriju na mjesto gdje je znao da su najhrabriji ljudi.

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.

I izidoše ljudi iz grada i pobiše se s Judom. I pogibe iz naroda nekoliko sluga Davidovijeh; pogibe i Urija Hetejin.

18 So Joab sent and told David all the news of the battle;

Tada Joav posla k Davidu, i javi mu sve što bi u boju.

19 and he charged the messenger saying, —When thou hast ended all the news of the battle, in speaking unto the king,

I zapovjedi glasniku govoreæi: kad pripovjediš caru sve što je bilo u boju,

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?

Ako se razgnjevi car i reèe ti: zašto ste išli tako blizu grada da se bijete? zar nijeste znali kako se strijelja s grada?

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.

Ko je ubio Avimeleha sina Jeruvesetova? nije li žena bacila na nj komad žrvnja sa zida, te pogibe u Tevesu? zašto ste išli blizu zida? tada reci: poginuo je i sluga tvoj Urija Hetejin.

22 And the messenger went his way, —and came in, and told David, all that Joab had sent him [to tell].

I otide glasnik, i došavši javi Davidu sve za što ga je poslao Joav.

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.

I reèe glasnik Davidu: bijahu jaèi od nas, i izidoše u polje na nas, ali ih uzbismo do vrata gradskih.

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.

A strijelci stadoše strijeljati na sluge tvoje sa zida, i pogibe nekoliko sluga carevijeh, tako i sluga tvoj Urija Hetejin pogibe.

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.

Tada reèe David glasniku: ovako reci Joavu: ne budi zlovoljan za to; jer maè proždire sad ovoga sad onoga; udri još jaèe na grad i raskopaj ga. Tako ga ohrabri.

26 And, when Uriah’s wife heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she made loud lamentation over her lord.

A žena Urijina èuvši da je poginuo muž njezin Urija, plaka za mužem svojim.

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.

A kad proðe žalost, posla David i uze je u kuæu svoju, i ona mu posta žena, i rodi mu sina. Ali ne bješe po volji Gospodu što uèini David.
