< 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.
Or avvenne che l’anno seguente, nel tempo in cui i re sogliono andare alla guerra, Davide mandò Joab con la sua gente e con tutto Israele a devastare il paese dei figliuoli di Ammon e ad assediare Rabba; ma Davide rimase a Gerusalemme.
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.
Una sera Davide, alzatosi dal suo letto, si mise a passeggiare sulla terrazza del palazzo reale; e dalla terrazza vide una donna che si bagnava; e la donna era bellissima.
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.
Davide mandò ad informarsi chi fosse la donna; e gli fu detto: “E’ Bath-Sheba, figliuola di Eliam, moglie di Uria, lo Hitteo”.
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.
E Davide inviò gente a prenderla; ed ella venne da lui, ed egli si giacque con lei, che si era purificata della sua contaminazione; poi ella se ne tornò a casa sua.
5 And she conceived the woman and she sent and she told to David and she said [am] pregnant I.
La donna rimase incinta, e lo fece sapere a Davide, dicendo: “Sono incinta”.
6 And he sent David to Joab send to me Uriah the Hittite and he sent Joab Uriah to David.
Allora Davide fece dire a Joab: “Mandami Uria, lo Hitteo”. E Joab mandò Uria da Davide.
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.
Come Uria fu giunto da Davide, questi gli chiese come stessero Joab ed il popolo, e come andasse la guerra.
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.
Poi Davide disse ad Uria: “Scendi a casa tua e làvati i piedi”. Uria uscì dal palazzo reale, e gli furon portate appresso delle vivande del re.
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.
Ma Uria dormì alla porta del palazzo del re con tutti i servi del suo signore, e non scese a casa sua.
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.
E come ciò fu riferito a Davide e gli fu detto: “Uria non è sceso a casa sua”, Davide disse ad Uria: “Non vieni tu di viaggio? Perché dunque non sei sceso a casa tua?”
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.
Uria rispose a Davide: “L’arca, Israele e Giuda abitano sotto le tende, Joab mio signore e i suoi servi sono accampati in aperta campagna, e io me n’entrerei in casa mia per mangiare e bere e per dormire con mia moglie? Com’è vero che tu vivi e che vive l’anima tua, io non farò tal cosa!”
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.
E Davide disse ad Uria: “Trattienti qui anche oggi, e domani ti lascerò partire”. Così Uria rimase a Gerusalemme quel giorno ed il seguente.
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.
E Davide lo invitò a mangiare e a bere con sé; e lo ubriacò; e la sera Uria uscì per andarsene a dormire sul suo lettuccio coi servi del suo signore, ma non scese a casa sua.
14 And it was in the morning and he wrote David a letter to Joab and he sent [it] by [the] hand of Uriah.
La mattina seguente, Davide scrisse una lettera a Joab, e gliela mandò per le mani d’Uria.
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.
Nella lettera avea scritto così: “Ponete Uria al fronte, dove più ferve la mischia; poi ritiratevi da lui, perch’egli resti colpito e muoia”.
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.
Joab dunque, assediando la città, pose Uria nel luogo dove sapeva che il nemico avea degli uomini valorosi.
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.
Gli uomini della città fecero una sortita e attaccarono Joab; parecchi del popolo, della gente di Davide, caddero, e perì anche Uria lo Hitteo.
18 And he sent Joab and he told to David all [the] matters of the battle.
Allora Joab inviò un messo a Davide per fargli sapere tutte le cose ch’erano avvenute nella battaglia;
19 And he commanded the messenger saying when finishing you all [the] matters of the battle to speak to the king.
e diede al messo quest’ordine: “Quando avrai finito di raccontare al re tutto quello ch’è successo nella battaglia,
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.
se il re va in collera, e ti dice: Perché vi siete accostati così alla città per dar battaglia? Non sapevate voi che avrebbero tirato di sulle mura?
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.
Chi fu che uccise Abimelec, figliuolo di Jerubbesheth? Non fu ella una donna che gli gettò addosso un pezzo di macina dalle mura, si ch’egli morì a Thebets? Perché vi siete accostati così alle mura? tu digli allora: Il tuo servo Uria lo Hitteo è morto anch’egli”.
22 And he went the messenger and he came and he told to David all that he had sent him Joab.
Il messo dunque partì; e, giunto, riferì a Davide tutto quello che Joab l’aveva incaricato di dire.
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.
Il messo disse a Davide: “I nemici avevano avuto del vantaggio su di noi, e avean fatto una sortita contro di noi nella campagna; ma noi fummo loro addosso fino alla porta della città;
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.
allora gli arcieri tirarono sulla tua gente di sulle mura, e parecchi della gente del re perirono, e Uria lo Hitteo, tuo servo, perì anch’egli”.
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.
Allora Davide disse al messo: “Dirai così a Joab: Non ti dolga quest’affare; poiché la spada or divora l’uno ed ora l’altro; rinforza l’attacco contro la città, e distruggila. E tu fagli coraggio”.
26 And she heard [the] wife of Uriah that he had died Uriah husband her and she mourned on husband her.
Quando la moglie di Uria udì che Uria suo marito era morto, lo pianse;
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.
e finito che ella ebbe il lutto, Davide la mandò a cercare e l’accolse in casa sua. Ella divenne sua moglie, e gli partorì un figliuolo. Ma quello che Davide avea fatto dispiacque all’Eterno.
