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.

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi heʻene ʻosi ʻae taʻu, pea ʻi he faʻahitaʻu ʻoku ʻalu atu ai ʻae ngaahi tuʻi [ke tau], naʻe fekau atu ai ʻe Tevita ʻa Soape pea mo ʻene kakai mo ia, pea mo ʻIsileli kātoa; pea naʻa nau maumauʻi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, ʻonau kāpui ʻa Lapa. Ka naʻe nofo ai pe ʻa Tevita ʻi Selūsalema.

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.

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he efiafi ʻe taha, naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Tevita mei hono mohenga, pea naʻa ne ʻeveʻeva [ki ʻolunga ]ʻi he tuʻa fale ʻoe tuʻi: pea naʻa ne mamata mei he tuʻa fale ki he fefine naʻe fai ʻene kaukau; pea naʻe hoihoifua ʻaupito ʻae fefine ke sio ki ai.

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.

Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Tevita ke fehuʻi pe ko hai ʻae fefine. Pea naʻe tala mai, ʻIkai ko Patisepa ia, ko e ʻofefine ʻo Iliami, ko e uaifi ʻo ʻUlia ko e [tangata ]Heti?

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.

Pea naʻe fekau atu ʻe Tevita ʻae kau talafekau, ʻonau ʻomi ia; pea naʻa ne haʻu kiate ia, pea naʻa ne mohe mo ia pea naʻe fakamaʻa ia mei heʻene taʻemaʻa, pea naʻe toe ʻalu ia ki hono fale.

5 And she conceived the woman and she sent and she told to David and she said [am] pregnant I.

Pea naʻe tuituʻia ʻae fefine, pea naʻa ne fekau ke fakahā kia Tevita, ʻo pehē kuo u feitama.

6 And he sent David to Joab send to me Uriah the Hittite and he sent Joab Uriah to David.

Pea naʻe fekau atu ʻe Tevita kia Soape, [ʻo pehē], “Fekau ke haʻu kiate au ʻa ʻUlia ko e [tangata Heti].” Pea naʻe fekau ʻa ʻUlia ʻe Soape kia Tevita.

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.

Pea ʻi heʻene hoko mai ʻa ʻUlia kiate ia, naʻe ʻeke ʻe Tevita pe kuo fēfē ʻa Soape, pea fēfē mo e kakai, pea kuo fēfē ʻae fai ʻoe tau.

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.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita kia ʻUlia, “ʻAlu hifo ki ho fale, pea kaukauʻi ho vaʻe.” Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa ʻUlia mei he fale ʻoe tuʻi, pea naʻe ʻave ʻo muimui ʻiate ia ʻae mangisi maʻana mei he tuʻi.

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.

Ka naʻe mohe ʻa ʻUlia ʻi he veʻe matapā ʻoe fale ʻoe tuʻi fakataha mo e kau tamaioʻeiki kotoa pē ʻo ʻene ʻeiki, pea naʻe ʻikai ʻalu hifo ia ki hono fale.

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.

Pea ʻi heʻenau fakahā ia kia Tevita, ʻo pehē, naʻe ʻikai ʻalu hifo ʻa ʻUlia ki hono fale, naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita kia ʻUlia, ʻIkai naʻa ke hoko mai mei ha fononga? Pea ko e hā ai naʻe ʻikai te ke ʻalu hifo ki ho fale?

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.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻUlia kia Tevita, “ʻOku nofo ʻi he ngaahi fale fehikitaki ʻae puha tapu, mo ʻIsileli, pea mo Siuta; pea ʻoku ʻapitanga ʻa Soape ko hoku ʻeiki, mo e kakai ʻa hoku ʻeiki, ʻi he ʻataʻatā ʻoe fonua; pea te u ʻalu au ki hoku fale ʻoʻoku, ke kai mo inu, pea ke mohe mo hoku uaifi? Hangē ʻoku ke moʻui, pea hangē ʻoku moʻui ho laumālie, ʻe ʻikai te u fai ʻae meʻa ni.”

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.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita kia ʻUlia, “Nofo ʻi heni he ʻaho ni foki, pea te u tuku koe ke ke ʻalu ʻapongipongi.” Ko ia naʻe nofo ai ʻa ʻUlia ʻi Selūsalema ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, mo e ʻaho ʻe taha.

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.

Pea ʻi heʻene ui mai ia ʻe Tevita, naʻa ne kai mo inu ʻi hono ʻao; pea naʻa ne fakainu ia ke kona: pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki he poʻuli, naʻa ne ʻalu atu ke tokoto ki hono mohenga, fakataha mo e kau tamaioʻeiki ʻo ʻene ʻeiki, ka naʻe ʻikai ʻalu hifo ia ki hono fale.

14 And it was in the morning and he wrote David a letter to Joab and he sent [it] by [the] hand of Uriah.

Pea ʻi heʻene pongipongi hake naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe fai ʻe Tevita ha tohi kia Soape, ʻo ne tuku ia ki he nima ʻo ʻUlia ke ne ʻave.

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.

Pea naʻa ne tohi ʻi he tohi, ʻo pehē, “Mou tuku atu ʻa ʻUlia ke muʻomuʻa ʻi he mālohi ʻoe tau, pea mou toki fakaholomui ʻiate ia, koeʻuhi ke teʻia ia ke ne mate.”

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.

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene ʻosi ʻae vakai ʻoe kolo ʻe Soape, naʻa ne tuku ʻa ʻUlia ki ha potu ʻaia naʻa ne ʻilo kuo ʻi ai ʻae kau tangata toʻa.

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.

Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae kau tangata ʻoe kolo, pea naʻa nau tau mo Soape: pea naʻe teʻia ʻae niʻihi ʻi he kakai ʻo Tevita; pea naʻe mate foki ʻa ʻUlia.

18 And he sent Joab and he told to David all [the] matters of the battle.

Hili ia naʻe fekau atu ʻe Soape ʻo ne fakahā kia Tevita ʻae meʻa kotoa pē naʻe kau ki he tau;

19 And he commanded the messenger saying when finishing you all [the] matters of the battle to speak to the king.

Pea naʻa ne fakapapau ki he tangata fekau, ʻo pehē, “ʻOka ʻosi ʻa hoʻo tala ki he tuʻi ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku kau ki he tau,

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.

Pea kapau ʻe tupu ʻae houhau ʻae tuʻi, pea ne pehē mai kiate koe, ‘Ko e hā naʻa mou fakaofi pehē fau ai ki he kolo ʻi he fai ʻoe tau? ʻIkai naʻa mou ʻilo te nau fana mei he ʻā?

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.

Ko hai naʻe tāmateʻi ʻa ʻApimeleki ko e foha ʻo Selupeseti? ʻIkai naʻe lī ʻae konga maka momosi kiate ia ʻe ha fefine mei he [funga ]ʻā, ʻo ne mate ai ʻi Tipesi? Ko e hā naʻa mou ofi ai ki he ʻā?’ Pea ke toki pehē ʻe koe, ‘Kuo mate foki ʻa ʻUlia ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki.’”

22 And he went the messenger and he came and he told to David all that he had sent him Joab.

Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻae talafekau, ʻo ne haʻu mo fakahā kia Tevita ʻae meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fekau ai ia ʻe Soape.

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.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he talafekau kia Tevita, “Ko e moʻoni naʻe fai mālohi mai ʻae kau tangata, [ʻonau ]haʻu kituʻa kiate kimautolu ki he ʻataʻatā, pea naʻa mau tuli atu kiate kinautolu ʻo aʻu ki he hūʻanga, ʻoe matanikolo.

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.

Pea naʻe fana mai ʻe he kau tangata fana mei he ʻā ki hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki; pea kuo mate ʻae niʻihi ʻi he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae tuʻi, pea kuo mate foki mo hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko ʻUlia ko e [tangata ]Heti.”

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.

Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe Tevita ki he tangata fekau, “Te ke lea ʻo pehē kia Soape, Ke ʻoua naʻa kovi ʻae meʻa ni kiate koe, he ʻoku keina noa pe ʻe he heletā: ʻai ke mālohi hake ʻae fai ʻoe tau ki he kolo, pea fakato ia ki lalo: pea ke tokoni koe kiate ia.”

26 And she heard [the] wife of Uriah that he had died Uriah husband her and she mourned on husband her.

Pea ʻi heʻene fanongo ʻe he uaifi ʻo ʻUlia kuo pekia ʻa ʻUlia ko hono husepāniti, naʻa ne mamahi koeʻuhi ko hono husepāniti.

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.

Pea ʻi he ʻosiange ʻa hono tēngihia, naʻe fekau ʻe Tevita mo ne ʻomi ia ki hono fale, pea naʻa ne hoko ko hono uaifi, pea naʻa ne fanauʻi ʻae foha kiate ia. Ka naʻe kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻae meʻa naʻe fai ʻe Tevita.
