< 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.
At nangyari sa pagpihit ng taon sa panahon ng paglabas ng mga hari sa pakikipagbaka, na sinugo ni David si Joab, at ang kaniyang mga lingkod na kasama niya, at ang buong Israel; at kanilang nilipol ang mga anak ni Ammon at kinubkob sa Rabba. Nguni't si David ay naghintay sa Jerusalem.
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.
At nangyari sa kinahapunan, na si David ay bumangon sa kaniyang higaan, at lumakad sa bubungan ng bahay ng hari: at mula sa bubungan ay kaniyang nakita ang isang babae na naliligo; at ang babae ay totoong napakagandang masdan.
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.”
At nagsugo si David, at nagpasiyasat tungkol sa babae. At sinabi ng isa, Hindi ba ito ay si Bath-sheba na anak ni Eliam, na asawa ni Uria na Hetheo?
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.
At si David ay nagsugo ng mga sugo, at kinuha siya; at siya'y pumaroon sa kaniya, at kaniyang sinipingan siya (sapagka't siya'y malinis sa kaniyang karumihan; ) at siya'y bumalik sa kaniyang bahay.
5 [After some time], she realized that she was pregnant. So she sent a messenger to tell David [that she was pregnant].
At ang babae ay naglihi; at siya'y nagsugo at nasaysay kay David, at nagsabi: Ako'y buntis.
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.
At nagsugo si David kay Joab, na sinasabi, Suguin mo sa akin si Uria na Hetheo. At sinugo ni Joab si Uria kay David.
7 When he arrived, David asked if Joab was well, and if other soldiers were well, and how the war was progressing.
At nang si Uria ay dumating sa kaniya, tinanong ni David siya kung paano ang tayo ni Joab, at kung ano ang kalagayan ng bayan, at kung paano ang tayo ng pagbabaka.
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.
At sinabi ni David kay Uria, Babain mo ang iyong bahay, at iyong hugasan ang iyong mga paa. At umalis si Uria sa bahay ng hari at isinusunod sa kaniya ang isang pagkain na mula sa hari.
9 But Uriah did not go home. Instead, he slept at the palace entrance with the king’s palace guards.
Nguni't natulog si Uria sa pintuan ng bahay ng hari na kasama ng lahat ng mga lingkod ng kaniyang panginoon, at hindi binaba ang kaniyang bahay.
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]
At nang masaysay kay David, na sabihin, Hindi binaba ni Uria ang kaniyang bahay, sinabi ni David kay Uria, Hindi ka pa ba nakapaglalakbay? bakit hindi mo binaba ang iyong bahay?
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!”
At sinabi ni Uria kay David, Ang kaban, at ang Israel, at ang Juda, ay nasa mga tolda at ang aking panginoon si Joab, at ang mga lingkod ng aking panginoon, ay nangahahantong sa luwal na parang; yayaon nga ba ako sa aking bahay, upang kumain, at upang uminom, at upang sumiping sa aking asawa? buhay ka, at buhay ang iyong kaluluwa, hindi ko gagawin ang bagay na ito.
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.
At sinabi ni David kay Uria, Tumigil ka rin dito ngayon at bukas ay aking payayaunin ka. Sa gayo'y tumigil si Uria sa Jerusalem sa araw na yaon, at sa kinabukasan.
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.
At nang tawagin siya ni David, siya'y kumain at uminom sa harap niya; at kaniyang nilango siya: at sa kinahapunan, siya'y lumabas upang mahiga sa kaniyang higaan na kasama ng mga lingkod ng kaniyang panginoon, nguni't hindi niya binaba ang kaniyang bahay.
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.
At nangyari, sa kinaumagahan, na sumulat si David ng isang sulat kay Joab, at ipinadala sa pamamagitan ng kamay ni Uria.
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].”
At kaniyang isinulat sa sulat, na sinasabi, Ilagay mo si Uria sa pinakaunahan ng mahigpit na pagbabaka, at kayo'y magsiurong mula sa kaniya, upang siya'y masaktan, at mamatay.
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.
At nangyari, nang bantayan ni Joab ang bayan, na kaniyang inilagay si Uria sa dakong kaniyang nalalaman na kinaroroonan ng mga matapang na lalake.
17 The men from the city came out and fought with Joab’s soldiers. They killed some of David’s officers, including Uriah.
At ang mga lalake sa bayan ay nagsilabas at nakipagbaka kay Joab: at nangabuwal ang iba sa bayan, sa mga lingkod ni David; at si Uria na Hetheo ay namatay rin.
18 Then Joab sent a messenger to David to tell him about the fighting.
Nang magkagayo'y nagsugo si Joab, at isinaysay kay David ang lahat ng mga bagay tungkol sa pagbabaka;
19 He said to the messenger, “Tell David the news about the battle. After you finish telling that to him,
At kaniyang ibinilin sa sugo, na sinasabi, Pagka ikaw ay nakatapos na magsaysay sa hari ng lahat ng mga bagay tungkol sa pagbabaka,
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]?
Mangyari na, kung ang galit ng hari ay maginit, at kaniyang sabihin sa iyo: Bakit kayo lumapit na mabuti sa bayan upang bumaka? hindi ba ninyo nalalaman na sila'y papana mula sa kuta?
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.’”
Sino ang sumakit kay Abimelech na anak ni Jerobaal? hindi ba isang babae ang naghagis ng isang bato sa ibabaw ng gilingan sa kaniya mula sa kuta, na anopa't siya'y namatay sa Thebes? bakit kayo'y nagpakalapit sa kuta? saka mo sasabihin, Ang iyong lingkod na si Uria na Hetheo ay namatay rin.
22 So the messenger went and told David everything that Joab told him to say.
Sa gayo'y yumaon ang sugo, at naparoon at isinaysay kay David ang lahat na iniutos sa kaniya ni Joab.
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.
At sinabi ng sugo kay David, Ang mga lalake ay nanganaig laban sa amin, at nilabas kami sa parang, at aming pinaurong sila hanggang sa pasukan ng pintuang-bayan.
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.”
At pinana ng mga mamamana ang iyong mga lingkod mula sa kuta; at ang iba sa mga lingkod ng hari ay nangamatay, at ang iyong lingkod na si Uria na Hetheo ay namatay rin.
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.”
Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni David sa sugo, Ganito ang iyong sasabihin kay Joab: Huwag mong masamain ang bagay na ito, sapagka't nilalamon ng tabak maging ito gaya ng iba: iyong palakasin pa ang iyong pagbabaka laban sa bayan, at iwasak: at iyong palakasin ang loob niya.
26 When Uriah’s wife [Bathsheba] heard that her husband had died, she mourned for him.
At nang marinig ng asawa ni Uria na si Uria na kaniyang asawa ay namatay, kaniyang tinangisan ang kaniyang asawa.
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.
At nang ang pagtangis ay makaraan, ay nagsugo si David at kinuha siya sa kaniyang bahay, at siya'y naging kaniyang asawa, at nagkaanak sa kaniya ng isang lalake. Nguni't ang bagay na ginawa ni David ay minasama ng Panginoon.
