< 2 Samuel 11 >

1 And it was to [the] return of the year to [the] time of - [the] going out of (messengers *LBH(a+C)*) and he sent David Joab and servants his with him and all Israel and they destroyed [the] people of Ammon and they laid siege on Rabbah and David [was] remaining in Jerusalem.
年初,正當諸王出征的季節,達味派約阿布率領他的將官和以色列人出征;他們蹂躪了阿孟子民,就包圍辣巴。當時達味住在耶路撒冷。
2 And it was - to [the] time of the evening and he arose David from on bed his and he walked about on [the] roof of [the] house of the king and he saw a woman bathing from on the roof and the woman [was] good of appearance very.
一天傍晚,達味由床上起來,在宮殿的房屋頂上散步;從房頂上看見一個女人在沐浴,這女人容貌很美。
3 And he sent David and he enquired of the woman and he said ¿ not [is] this Bath-sheba [the] daughter of Eliam [the] wife of Uriah the Hittite.
達味遂派人打聽這女人是誰;有人告訴他說:「這不是厄里安的女兒,赫特人烏黎雅的妻子巴特舍巴嗎﹖
4 And he sent David messengers and he took her and she came to him and he lay with her and she [was] purifying herself from uncleanness her and she returned to house her.
達味便派人將他接來;她來到他那裡,達味就與她同寢,那時她的月經剛潔淨了。事後,她便回了家。
5 And she conceived the woman and she sent and she told to David and she said [am] pregnant I.
不久,那女人自覺懷孕,就打發人告訴達味說:「我懷了孕。」
6 And he sent David to Joab send to me Uriah the Hittite and he sent Joab Uriah to David.
達味派人給約阿布說:「打發赫特人烏黎雅來見我。」約阿布就打發烏黎雅去見達味。
7 And he came Uriah to him and he asked David to [the] welfare of Joab and to [the] welfare of the people and to [the] welfare of the battle.
烏黎雅一來到他跟前,達味就問:「約阿布近來如何﹖士兵好嗎﹖戰事怎樣﹖」
8 And he said David to Uriah go down to house your and wash feet your and he went out Uriah from [the] house of the king and it went out after him [the] gift of the king.
達味向烏黎雅說:「你下到家中洗洗腳吧! 」烏黎雅剛離開皇宮,隨後就送來了王的飲食。
9 And he lay down Uriah [the] entrance of [the] house of the king with all [the] servants of lord his and not he went down to house his.
烏黎雅卻同他的主人的僕役一起睡在宮門旁,沒有下到家裡。
10 And people told to David saying not he has gone down Uriah to house his and he said David to Uriah ¿ not from a journey [are] you coming why? not have you gone down to house your.
有人報告達味說:「烏黎雅並沒有回到自己家裡。」達味便向烏黎雅說:「你不是由遠道回來的嗎,為什麼不下到你家裡去呢﹖」
11 And he said Uriah to David the ark and Israel and Judah [are] dwelling in booths and lord my Joab and [the] servants of lord my on [the] face of the open country [are] encamping and I will I go? to house my to eat and to drink and to lie with wife my [by] [the] life of you and [by] [the] life of self your if I will do the thing this.
烏黎雅回答達味說:「約櫃,以色列和猶大人都住在帳幕裡,我主約阿布和我主的僕人都在野外露宿,我豈能回家吃喝,和我妻子一起睡覺﹖上主永在,陛下萬歲! 我絕不做這樣的事。」
12 And he said David to Uriah remain in this [place] also this day and tomorrow I will let go you and he remained Uriah in Jerusalem on the day that and from [the] next day.
達味向烏黎雅說:「今天你還留在這裡,明天我要打發你回去。」烏黎雅那天就留在耶路撒冷。第二天,
13 And he summoned him David and he ate before him and he drank and he made drunk him and he went out in the evening to lie down on bed his with [the] servants of lord his and to house his not he went down.
達味召他來與自己一起飲宴,將他灌醉,傍晚,烏黎雅出去,仍與他主人的僕役睡在一起,並沒有到家裡去。
14 And it was in the morning and he wrote David a letter to Joab and he sent [it] by [the] hand of Uriah.
到了早晨,達味給約阿布寫了一封信,要烏黎雅親手帶去。
15 And he wrote in the letter saying set Uriah to [the] front of [the] face of the battle severe and you will turn back from after him and he will be struck down and he will die.
他在信上寫說:「你應派烏黎雅到戰事最激烈的前線,然後,在他後邊撤退,讓他受攻擊陣亡。」
16 And it was when watched Joab against the city and he put Uriah to the place where he knew that men of strength [were] there.
約阿布察看那城以後,知道那裡有最強悍的敵人,就派烏黎雅到那裡去了。
17 And they went out [the] men of the city and they fought with Joab and it fell some of the people some of [the] servants of David and he died also Uriah the Hittite.
城內的人出來,與約阿布交戰,達味的僕役中,有些人陣亡了,赫特人烏黎雅也陣亡了。
18 And he sent Joab and he told to David all [the] matters of the battle.
約阿布派人去向達味報告這次戰事的一切經過,
19 And he commanded the messenger saying when finishing you all [the] matters of the battle to speak to the king.
他吩咐使者說:「若你把戰事的經過向君王報告完了以後,
20 And it will be if it will rise [the] anger of the king and he will say to you why? did you draw near to the city to fight ¿ not did you know this: they will shoot from on the wall.
王若向你發怒說:為什麼你們靠近城牆作戰﹖你們不知道有人會由城牆上射擊嗎﹖
21 Who? did he strike down Abimelech [the] son of Jerub-Besheth ¿ not a woman did she throw on him a mill-stone an upper mill-stone from on the wall and he died in Thebez why? did you draw near to the wall and you will say also servant your Uriah the Hittite he has died.
誰擊殺了耶魯巴耳的兒子阿彼默肋客﹖不是一個女人從城牆上把一塊磨石丟在他身上﹖他就死在特貝茲嗎﹖為什麼你們靠近城牆呢﹖你就答說:你的僕人赫特人烏黎雅也陣亡了。」
22 And he went the messenger and he came and he told to David all that he had sent him Joab.
使者就前來見達味,把約阿布打發他報告的一切全向達味報告了。達味對約阿布大怒,向使者說:「你們為什麼靠近城牆作戰﹖你們不知道有人會由城牆上射擊嗎﹖誰射擊了耶魯巴耳的兒子阿彼默肋客﹖不是一個女人從城牆上把一塊磨石丟在他身上,他就死在特貝茲嗎﹖為什麼你們靠近城牆呢﹖」
23 And he said the messenger to David for they prevailed over us the men and they came out against us the open country and we were on them to [the] entrance of the gate.
報信的人向達味說:「那些人向我們衝來,下到平原來攻打我們,我們就追擊他們到城門邊,
24 (And they shot arrows *Q(K)*) (the archers *Q(k)*) to servants your from on the wall and they have died some of [the] servants of the king and also servant your Uriah the Hittite he has died.
射手就從城牆上射擊我們. 君王的僕役大約死了十八人,你的僕人烏黎雅,那個赫特人也死了。
25 And he said David to the messenger thus you will say to Joab may not it be displeasing in view your the thing this that like this and like this it devours the sword strengthen battle your against the city and tear down it and encourage him.
「達味向報信的人說:「你去告訴約阿布說:不必對這事過傷心,因為刀劍有時砍這人,也有時砍那人;你只管加緊攻城,將城毀滅。你要鼓勵他。
26 And she heard [the] wife of Uriah that he had died Uriah husband her and she mourned on husband her.
「烏黎雅的妻子聽說他丈夫陣亡了,就為他丈夫舉哀。
27 And it passed the mourning and he sent David and he gathered her to house his and she became of him a wife and she bore to him a son and it was displeasing the thing which he had done David in [the] eyes of Yahweh.
居喪期一滿,達味就派人將他接到自己的宮中,成了他的妻子,給他生了一個兒子。達味這樣行事,使上主大為不悅。
