2 Samuel 11
1 And it came to pass, after the year had expired, at the time when kings go forth [to battle], that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and destroyed Rabbah. But David tarried still at Jerusalem.
Nʼoge ọkọchị, mgbe ndị eze na-apụ ibu agha, Devid zipụrụ Joab ọchịagha ya, na ndị agha Izrel. Ha bibiri ndị Amọn, nọchibidokwa Raba. Ma Devid nọdụrụ na Jerusalem.
2 And it came to pass in an evening, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king's house: and from the roof he saw a woman washing herself; and the woman [was] very beautiful to look upon.
Nʼotu uhuruchi, Devid sitere nʼihe ndina ya bilie, gagharịa nʼelu ụlọeze ya. Ọ sitere nʼelu ụlọ ahụ hụ otu nwanyị na-asa ahụ. Nwanyị ahụ mara mma nke ukwu nʼile anya.
3 And David sent and inquired after the woman. And [one] said, [Is] not this Bath-sheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?
Devid ziri ozi ka a jụta onye nwanyị ahụ bụ, ma a gwara ya na ọ bụ Batsheba, nwa Eliam, nwunye Ụraya onye Het.
4 And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in to him, and he lay with her; for she was purified from her uncleanness: and she returned to her house.
Devid ziri ka a gaa kpọta ya. Mgbe ọ bịara, ya na Devid dinara. (Ka ọ ghụchasịrị onwe ya site nʼadịghị ọcha ya nke ọnwa ahụ.) Ọ laghachiri nʼụlọ ya.
5 And the woman conceived, and sent and told David, and said, I [am] with child.
Nwanyị a mechara dị ime, bịa ziga ozi ka agwa Devid. Ọ sịrị, “Adị m ime.”
6 And David sent to Joab, [saying], Send me Uriah the Hittite. And Joab sent Uriah to David.
Mgbe Devid nụrụ ya, o zigaara Joab ozi sị ya, “Zitere m Ụraya, onye Het.”
7 And when Uriah had come to him, David inquired [of him] how Joab did, and how the people did, and how the war prospered.
Mgbe Ụraya bịakwutere ya, Devid jụrụ ya otu Joab mere, na otu ndị agha Izrel dị na otu agha si aga.
8 And David said to Uriah, Go down to thy house, and wash thy feet. And Uriah departed out of the king's house, and there followed him a mess [of meat] from the king.
Devid sịrị Ụraya, “Laa nʼụlọ gị gaa saa ụkwụ gị.” Ụraya si nʼụlọeze pụọ. E zipụkwara onyinye nke ndị na-ejere eze ozi ji sochie ya azụ.
9 But Uriah slept at the door of the king's house with all the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.
Ma Ụraya agaghị nʼụlọ ya. Kama o so ndị na-ejere eze ozi dinaa nʼọnụ ụzọ e si abata ụlọeze.
10 And when they had told David, saying, Uriah went not down to his house, David said to Uriah, Camest thou not from [thy] journey? why [then] didst thou not go down to thy house?
Mgbe a gwara Devid na Ụraya alaghị nʼụlọ ya, Devid kpọrọ Ụraya, jụọ ya ajụjụ sị, “Ọ bụghị ije dị anya ka i si lọta? Gịnị mere ị larughị nʼụlọ gị?”
11 And Uriah said to David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in tents; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord are encamped in the open fields; shall I then go into my house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? [as] thou livest, and [as] thy soul liveth, I will not do this thing.
Ụraya zara Devid, “Lee, igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị, na Izrel na Juda niile nọ nʼụlọ ikwu. Nna m ukwu Joab na ndị agha nna m ukwu nọ nʼọhịa. M ga-esi aṅaa laa nʼụlọ m, iri na ịṅụ ihe ọṅụṅụ na isoro nwunye m dinaa? Ana m aṅụ iyi na agaghị m eme ihe dị otu a.”
12 And David said to Uriah, Tarry here to-day also, and to-morrow I will let thee depart. So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day and the morrow.
Devid gwara ya sị, “Ọ dị mma, nọdụ nʼebe a taa, echi ị ga-alaghachikwa nʼọgbọ agha.” Ụraya kwenyere nọdụ na Jerusalem ụbọchị ahụ, nakwa ụbọchị na-eso ya.
13 And when David had called him, he ate and drank before him; and he made him drunk: and at evening he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but went not down to his house.
Emesịa, Devid kpọrọ ya oriri, meekwa ya ka ọ ṅụbiga mmanya oke, ma nke a emeghị ka ọ laa nʼụlọ ya nʼabalị ahụ, kama ọ bụkwa nʼọnụ ụzọ e si abata ụlọeze ka o dinara nʼetiti ndị na-ejere eze ozi.
14 And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent [it] by the hand of Uriah.
Nʼụtụtụ echi ya, Devid degaara Joab akwụkwọ, zighachịkwa ya site nʼaka Ụraya.
15 And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set ye Uriah in the front of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, that he may be smitten, and die.
Ihe ọ dere nʼakwụkwọ ahụ bụ nke a, “Tinye Ụraya nʼihu agha ebe ọgụ siri ike. Mgbe ndị iro na-apụkwute unu, laanụ azụ, ma hapụnụ Ụraya nʼihu ọgụ ka ndị iro gbuo ya.”
16 And it came to pass, when Joab observed the city, that he assigned Uriah to a place where he knew that valiant men [were].
Ya mere, mgbe Joab gbara obodo ahụ gburugburu, o tinyere Ụraya nʼebe ọ maara na ndị dị ike nʼetiti ndị iro ha nọ.
17 And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab: and there fell [some] of the people of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hittite died also.
Ndị ikom obodo ahụ pụtara buso Joab agha. Ụfọdụ ndị agha Devid nwụrụ. Ụraya onye Het, so na ndị egburu.
18 Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war;
Mgbe ahụ, Joab zigara ozi gwa Devid otu agha si na-aga,
19 And charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast made an end of telling the matters of the war to the king,
Ọ gwara onyeozi ahụ sị, “Mgbe ị gwachara eze akụkọ ihe gbasara otu agha si gaa
20 And if the king's wrath shall rise, and he shall say to thee, Why approached ye so nigh to the city for the fight? knew ye not that they would shoot from the wall?
iwe nwere ike iwe eze nke ukwu, na o nwere ike jụọ gị sị, ‘Gịnị mere unu ji gaa mgbidi obodo ahụ nso ịlụ agha? Ọ bụ na unu amaghị na a ga-esi nʼelu mgbidi ahụ gbaa àkụ?
21 Who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from the wall, that he died in Thebez? why went ye nigh the wall? then say thou, Thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.
Onye gburu Abimelek nwa Jeru-Beshet? Ọ bụghị na mgbidi obodo ka nwanyị nọ tụdaa aka nkume dagburu ya na Tebez? Gịnị mere unu ji jeruo mgbidi ahụ nso?’ Ọ bụrụ na ọ jụọ gị ihe dị otu a, gwa ya, ‘Ohu gị bụ Ụraya, onye Het anwụọkwala.’”
22 So the messenger went, and came and showed David all that Joab had sent him for.
Onyeozi ahụ biliri ije, mgbe o rutere, ọ gwara Devid ihe niile Joab ziri ya ka o zie.
23 And the messenger said to David, Surely the men prevailed against us, and came out to us into the field, and we were upon them even to the entrance of the gate.
Onyeozi ahụ sịrị Devid, “Ndị ikom ahụ ji ike karịrị anyị, ha pụtara ị buso anyị agha na mbara ma anyị chụghachiri ha azụ. Chụruo ha nʼọnụ ụzọ ama obodo ahụ.
24 And the shooters shot from off the wall upon thy servants: and [some] of the king's servants are dead, and thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.
Mgbe ahụ, ndị ọgba ụta sitere nʼelu mgbidi malite ịgba ndị ohu gị àkụ, ụfọdụ nʼime ndị ikom eze nwụrụ. Ohu gị Ụraya, onye Het, sokwa na ndị nwụrụ.”
25 Then David said to the messenger, Thus shalt thou say to Joab, Let not this thing displease thee, for the sword devoureth one as well as another: make thy battle more strong against the city, and overthrow it: and encourage thou him.
Devid sịrị onyeozi ahụ, “Otu a ka ị ga-agwa Joab, ‘Ka ihe a ghara iwute gị nʼobi, nʼihi na mma agha na-egbu otu onye dịka o si egbu onye ọzọ. Lụsie ọgụ ike, lụgbukwaa obodo ahụ.’ Jiri okwu ndị a gbaa ya ume.”
26 And when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she mourned for her husband.
Mgbe nwunye Ụraya nụrụ na di ya anwụọla, o ruru ụjụ nʼihi ya.
27 And when the mourning was past, David sent and brought her to his house, and she became his wife, and bore him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the LORD.
Mgbe oge iru ụjụ ya gabigara, Devid ziri ka a kpọta ya nʼụlọeze. Ọ ghọkwara nwunye ya. Mụọra ya nwa nwoke. Ma ihe Devid mere jọrọ njọ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị.
