< 2 Samuel 11 >

1 [In that region], kings usually went [with their armies] to fight [their enemies] in the springtime. But the following year, in the springtime, David [did not do that. Instead, he] stayed in Jerusalem, and he sent [his commander] Joab [to lead the army]. So Joab went with the other officers and the rest of the Israeli army. They [crossed the Jordan River and] defeated the army of the Ammon people-group. Then they surrounded [their capital city, ] Rabbah.
I stalo se po roce, když králové vyjíždívají na vojnu, že poslal David Joába a služebníky své s ním, též i všecken Izrael, aby hubili Ammonitské; i oblehli Rabba. David pak zůstal v Jeruzalémě.
2 Late one afternoon, after David got up from taking a nap, he walked around on the [flat] roof of his palace. He saw a woman who was bathing [in the courtyard of her house]. The woman was very beautiful.
Tedy stalo se k večerou, když vstal David s ložce svého, procházeje se po paláci domu královského, že uzřel s paláce ženu, ana se myje; kterážto žena byla vzezření velmi krásného.
3 David sent a messenger to find out who she was. [The messenger returned] and said, “She is [RHQ] Bathsheba. She is the daughter of Eliam, and her husband is Uriah, from the Heth people-group.”
A poslav David, vyptal se o té ženě a řekl: Není-liž to Betsabé dcera Eliamova, manželka Uriáše Hetejského?
4 Then David sent more messengers to get her. They brought her to David, and he (slept/had sex) [EUP] with her. (She had just finished performing the rituals to make herself pure [after her monthly menstrual period].) Then Bathsheba went back home.
Opět poslal David posly a vzal ji. Kterážto když vešla k němu, obýval s ní; (nebo se byla očistila od nečistoty své). Potom navrátila se do domu svého.
5 [After some time], she realized that she was pregnant. So she sent a messenger to tell David [that she was pregnant].
I počala žena ta. Protož poslavši, oznámila Davidovi, řkuci: Těhotná jsem.
6 Then David sent a message to Joab. He said, “Send Uriah, from the Heth people-group, to me.” So Joab did that. He sent Uriah to David.
Poslav pak David, vzkázal Joábovi: Pošli ke mně Uriáše Hetejského. I poslal Joáb Uriáše k Davidovi.
7 When he arrived, David asked if Joab was well, and if other soldiers were well, and how the war was progressing.
A když přišel Uriáš k němu, otázal se ho, jak se má Joáb, a jak se má lid, a kterak se vede v vojště?
8 Then David, [hoping that Uriah would go home and sleep with his wife, ] said to Uriah, “Okay, go home and relax for a while. [IDM]” So Uriah left, and David gave someone a gift [of some food] to take to Uriah’s house.
Řekl také David Uriášovi: Jdiž do domu svého, a umyj sobě nohy. I vyšel Uriáš z domu králova, a poslán za ním dar královský.
9 But Uriah did not go home. Instead, he slept at the palace entrance with the king’s palace guards.
Ale Uriáš spal u vrat domu královského se všemi služebníky pána svého, a nešel do domu svého.
10 When someone told David that Uriah did not go to his house [that night], David [summoned him again and] said to him, “Why didn’t you go home [to be with your wife last night], after having been away for a long time?” [RHQ]
Což když oznámili Davidovi, řkouce: Nešel Uriáš do domu svého, řekl David Uriášovi: Však jsi z cesty přišel. Pročež jsi nešel do domu svého?
11 Uriah replied, “The soldiers of Judah and Israel are camping in the open fields, and even our commander Joab is sleeping in a tent, and the sacred chest is with them. (How could I/It would not be right for me to) go home, eat and drink, and sleep with my wife [RHQ]. I solemnly declare [IDM] that I will never do such a thing!”
Odpověděl Uriáš Davidovi: Truhla Boží a Izrael i Juda zůstávají v staních, a pán můj Joáb i služebníci pána mého na poli zůstávají, já pak mám vjíti do domu svého, abych jedl a pil, a spal s manželkou svou? Jakož jsi živ ty, a jako jest živa duše tvá, žeť toho neučiním.
12 Then David said to Uriah, “Stay here today. I will let you return [to the battle] tomorrow.” So Uriah stayed in Jerusalem that day and that night.
Tedy řekl David Uriášovi: Pobuď zde ještě dnes, a zítra propustím tebe. I zůstal Uriáš v Jeruzalémě toho dne i nazejtří.
13 The next day, David invited him [to a meal]. So Uriah had a meal with David, and David made him drink a lot of wine so that he would get drunk, [hoping that if he was drunk, he would sleep with his wife]. But that night, Uriah again did not go home. Instead, he slept on his cot with the king’s servants.
V tom pozval ho David, aby jedl před ním a pil, a opojil ho. A však on šel večer spáti na ložce své s služebníky pána svého, a nešel do domu svého.
14 [Someone reported that to] David, [so] the next morning he wrote a letter to Joab, and gave it to Uriah to take to Joab.
A když bylo ráno, napsal David list Joábovi, kterýž poslal po Uriášovi.
15 In the letter, he wrote, “Put Uriah in the front line, where the fighting is the (worst/most severe). Then command the soldiers to pull back from him, in order that he will be killed [by our enemies].”
Psal pak v listu těmi slovy: Postavte Uriáše proti bojovníkům nejsilnějším; mezi tím odstupte nazpět od něho, aby raněn jsa, umřel.
16 [So after] Joab [got the letter], as his army was surrounding the city, he sent Uriah to a place where he knew that their enemies’ strongest and best soldiers would be fighting.
I stalo se, když oblehl Joáb město, že postavil Uriáše proti místu, kdež věděl, že jsou nejsilnější muži.
17 The men from the city came out and fought with Joab’s soldiers. They killed some of David’s officers, including Uriah.
A vyskočivše muži z města, bojovali proti Joábovi. I padli někteří z lidu, z služebníků Davidových, také i Uriáš Hetejský zabit.
18 Then Joab sent a messenger to David to tell him about the fighting.
Tedy poslav Joáb, oznámil Davidovi všecko, což se zběhlo v bitvě.
19 He said to the messenger, “Tell David the news about the battle. After you finish telling that to him,
A přikázal tomu poslu, řka: Když vypravíš králi všecky věci, které se zběhly v bitvě,
20 if David is angry [because so many officers were killed], he may ask you, ‘Why did your soldiers go so close to the city to fight [RHQ]? Did you not know that they would shoot [arrows at you while they were standing on top] of the city wall [RHQ]?
Při čemž jestliže se popudí prchlivost královská a řekne-liť: Proč jste přistoupili k městu, bojujíce? Zdaliž jste nevěděli, že házejí se zdi?
21 Do you not remember how Abimelech, the son of Gideon, was killed? A woman [who lived] in Thebez threw a huge (millstone/stone for grinding grain) on him from [the top of] tower, and he died. So why did your troops go near to the city wall?’ If the king asks this, then tell him, ‘Your officer Uriah also was killed.’”
Kdo zabil Abimelecha syna Jerobosetova? Zdali ne žena, svrhši na něj kus žernovu se zdi, tak že umřel v Tébes? Proč jste přistupovali ke zdi? tedy díš: Také služebník tvůj Uriáš Hetejský umřel.
22 So the messenger went and told David everything that Joab told him to say.
A tak šel posel, a přišed, oznámil Davidovi všecko to, pročež ho byl poslal Joáb.
23 The messenger said to David, “Our enemies were very brave, and came out of the city to fight us in the fields. [They were defeating us] but we forced them back to the city gate.
A řekl posel ten Davidovi: Zmocnili se nás muži ti, a vytrhli proti nám do pole, a honili jsem je až k bráně.
24 Then their archers shot arrows at us from [the top of] the city wall. They killed some of your officers. They killed your officer Uriah, too.”
V tom stříleli střelci na služebníky tvé se zdi, a zbiti jsou někteří z služebníků králových, také i služebník tvůj Uriáš Hetejský zabit.
25 David said to the messenger, “Go back to Joab and say to him, ‘Do not be distressed [about what happened], because no one ever knows who will be killed in a battle.’ Tell him that the next time his troops should attack the city more strongly, and capture it.”
Tedy řekl David poslu: Tak pověz Joábovi: Nic tě to nerozpakuj, že tak i jinak sehlcuje meč. Ztuž boj svůj proti městu a zkaz je, a potěš drábů.
26 When Uriah’s wife [Bathsheba] heard that her husband had died, she mourned for him.
Uslyševši pak manželka Uriášova, že umřel Uriáš muž její, plakala manžela svého.
27 When her time of mourning was ended, David sent messengers to bring her to the palace. Thus, she became David’s wife. She later gave birth to a son. But Yahweh was very displeased with what David had done.
A když pominul pláč, poslav David, vzal ji do domu svého, a měl ji za manželku; i porodila mu syna. Ale nelíbilo se to Hospodinu, co učinil David.
