2 Samuel 11
1 It came about in the springtime, at the time when kings normally go to war, that David sent out Joab, his servants, and all the army of Israel. They destroyed the army of Ammon and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed in Jerusalem.
Na mobu oyo elandaki, na tango oyo bakonzi bazalaka na momesano ya kokende na bitumba, Davidi atindaki Joabi elongo na basali na ye mpe mampinga nyonso ya Isalaele. Babomaki bato ya Amoni mpe bazingelaki Raba. Kasi Davidi atikalaki na Yelusalemi.
2 So it came about one evening that David got up from his bed and walked on the roof of his palace. From there he happened to see a woman who was bathing, and the woman was very beautiful to look at.
Mokolo moko na pokwa, Davidi alamukaki wuta na mbeto na ye mpe atambolaki na veranda ya likolo ya ndako ya mokonzi. Wuta na likolo ya veranda, amonaki mwasi moko azali kosukola. Mwasi yango azalaki kitoko makasi.
3 So David sent and he asked people who would know about the woman. Someone said, “Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, and is she not the wife of Uriah the Hittite?”
Davidi atindaki moto moko kokende koluka koyeba soki mwasi yango azali nani. Moto yango alobaki: « Ezali Batisheba, mwana mwasi ya Eliami, mwasi ya Iri, moto ya Iti. »
4 David sent messengers and took her; she came in to him, and he slept with her (for she had just purified herself from menstruation). Then she returned to her house.
Davidi atindaki bantoma mpo na kozwa ye. Batisheba ayaki epai ya Davidi, mpe Davidi asangisaki na ye nzoto. Sima na ye komipetola na mbindo na ye, Batisheba azongaki na ndako na ye.
5 The woman conceived, and she sent and told David; she said, “I am pregnant.”
Akomaki na zemi, mpe atindaki maloba epai ya Davidi: « Nazali na zemi. »
6 Then David sent to Joab saying, “Send me Uriah the Hittite.” So Joab sent Uriah to David.
Davidi atindaki maloba epai ya Joabi: « Tindela ngai Iri, moto ya Iti. » Joabi atindaki Iri epai ya Davidi.
7 When Uriah arrived, David asked him how Joab was, how the army was doing, and how the war was going.
Tango Iri akomaki epai na ye, Davidi atunaki ye soki Joabi azali malamu, soki basoda bazali malamu mpe soki bitumba ezali koleka ndenge nini.
8 David said to Uriah, “Go down to your house and wash your feet.” So Uriah left the king's palace, and the king sent a gift for Uriah after he left.
Bongo Davidi alobaki na Iri: « Kende na ndako na yo mpe sukola makolo na yo. » Iri atikaki ndako ya mokonzi; mpe sima na ye, mokonzi atindelaki ye kado.
9 But Uriah slept at the door of the king's palace with all the servants of his master, and he did not go down to his house.
Kasi Iri alalaki na ekotelo ya ndako ya mokonzi elongo na basali nyonso ya mokonzi na ye; akendeki te na ndako na ye.
10 When they told David, “Uriah did not go down to his house,” David said to Uriah, “Have you not come from a journey? Why did you not go down to your house?”
Tango bayebisaki Davidi ete Iri akendeki na ndako te, atunaki ye: — Boni, yo owuti mosika te? Mpo na nini oboyi kozonga na ndako na yo?
11 Uriah answered David, “The ark, and Israel and Judah are staying in tents, and my master Joab and my master's servants are camped in an open field. How then can I go into my house to eat and to drink and to sleep with my wife? As sure as you are alive, I will not do this.”
Iri azongiselaki Davidi: — Sanduku, Isalaele mpe Yuda bazali kovanda na bandako ya kapo; mpe Joabi, nkolo na ngai, elongo na bato na ye bazali kolala libanda kati na zamba. Ndenge nini ngai nakende na ndako na ngai mpo na kolia, komela mpe kolala na mwasi na ngai? Solo, na kombo na yo mokonzi, nakoki kosala likambo ya boye te.
12 So David said to Uriah, “Stay here today also, and tomorrow I will let you leave.” So Uriah stayed in Jerusalem that day and the next day.
Davidi alobaki na Iri: — Vanda lisusu awa lelo, bongo lobi nakozongisa yo. Iri avandaki na Yelusalemi mokolo wana mpe mokolo oyo elandaki.
13 When David called him, he ate and drank before him, and David made him drunk. At evening Uriah went out to sleep on his bed with the servants of his master; he did not go down to his house.
Davidi abengisaki ye. Iri aliaki mpe amelaki elongo na ye, mpe Davidi alangwisaki ye. Kasi na pokwa, Uri abimaki mpo na kokende kolala na mbeto na ye elongo na basali ya mokonzi, kasi akendeki na ndako na ye te.
14 So in the morning David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah.
Na tongo, Davidi akomelaki Joabi mokanda mpe atindaki yango na nzela ya Iri.
15 David wrote in the letter saying, “Set Uriah at the very front of the most intense battle, and then withdraw from him, that he may be hit and killed.”
Kati na mokanda yango, akomaki boye: « Tia Iri na molongo ya liboso, na esika oyo bitumba ezali makasi. Mpe bino, bozonga sima na ye mpo ete babeta ye mpe akufa. »
16 So as Joab watched the siege upon the city, he assigned Uriah to the place where he knew the strongest enemy soldiers would be fighting.
Joabi oyo azalaki kokengela engumba, atiaki Iri na esika oyo ayebaki ete ezali penza na basoda ya mpiko.
17 When the men of the city went out and fought against Joab's army, some of the soldiers of David fell, and Uriah the Hittite was also killed there.
Bongo tango bato ya engumba babimaki mpo na kobundisa Joabi, ndambo ya basoda kati na mampinga ya Davidi bakufaki; Iri, moto ya Iti, mpe akufaki.
18 When Joab sent word to David about everything concerning the war,
Joabi atindelaki Davidi sango nyonso ya bitumba.
19 he commanded the messenger, saying, “When you have finished telling all the things concerning the war to the king,
Apesaki mitindo oyo epai ya ntoma: « Tango okosilisa kopesa sango ya bitumba epai ya mokonzi,
20 it may happen that the king will become angry, and he will say to you, 'Why did you go so near to the city to fight? Did you not know that they would shoot from the wall?
mokonzi akoki kotomboka mpe kotuna yo: ‹ Mpo na nini bopusanaki makasi pembeni ya engumba mpo na kobunda? Boyebaki te ete bakokaki kobeta batolotolo wuta na mir?
21 Who killed Abimelech son of Jerub-Besheth? Did not a woman cast an upper millstone on him from the wall, so that he died at Thebez? Why did you go so near the wall?' Then you must answer, 'Your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.'”
Nani abomaki Abimeleki, mwana mobali ya Yerubesheti? Ezalaki te mwasi oyo, wuta na likolo ya mir, abwakelaki ye libanga oyo banikelaka ble, yango wana akufaki na Tebesi? Mpo na nini bopusanaki pembeni ya mir? › Soki atuni yo bongo, loba na ye: ‹ Mosali na yo, Iri, moto ya Iti, mpe akufi. › »
22 So the messenger left and went to David and told him everything that Joab had sent him to say.
Motindami akendeki, mpe tango akomaki, ayebisaki Davidi makambo nyonso oyo Joabi atindaki ye koloba.
23 Then the messenger said to David, “The enemy were stronger than we were at first; they came out to us into the field, but we drove them back to the entrance of the gate.
Alobaki na Davidi: — Bato yango bazalaki makasi koleka biso, bayaki kobundisa biso na libanda, mpe tobenganaki bango kino na ekotelo ya engumba.
24 Then their shooters shot at your soldiers from off the wall, and some of the king's servants were killed, and your servant Uriah the Hittite was killed too.”
Bongo basoda oyo babundaka na batolotolo babetaki na batolotolo na bango basali na yo wuta na likolo ya mir. Ndambo ya bato ya mokonzi bakufaki, ezala mosali na yo, Iri, moto ya Iti, mpe akufaki.
25 Then David said to the messenger, “Say this to Joab, 'Do not let this displease you, for the sword devours one as well as another. Make your battle even stronger against the city, and overthrow it,' and encourage him.”
Davidi alobaki na ntoma: — Tala makambo oyo okoloba na Joabi: « Tika ete likambo oyo etungisa yo te. Mopanga ekoki koboma songolo to pakala. Sala makasi mpo na kobundisa engumba mpe bebisa yango. » Loba makambo oyo mpo na kolendisa Joabi.
26 So when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she lamented deeply for her husband.
Tango mwasi ya Iri ayokaki ete mobali na ye akufi, asalelaki ye matanga.
27 When her sorrow passed, David sent and took her home to his palace, and she became his wife and bore him a son. But what David had done displeased Yahweh.
Sima na matanga, Davidi abengisaki mwasi ya Uri kati na ndako na ye mpe akomisaki ye mwasi na ye. Mwasi yango abotelaki Davidi mwana mobali. Kasi likambo oyo Davidi asalaki esepelisaki Yawe te.
