2 Samuel 11
1 Forsothe it was doon, whanne the yeer turnede ayen in that tyme wherynne kyngis ben wont to go forth to batels, Dauid sente Joab, and with hym hise seruauntis, and al Israel; and thei distrieden the sones of Amon, and bisegiden Rabath; forsothe Dauid dwellide in Jerusalem.
Ikawa wakati wa majira ya kipupwe, wakati ambapo kwa kawaida wafalme huenda vitani, Daudi akamtuma Yoabu, mtumishi wake, na jeshi lote la Israeli. Wakaliaribu jeshi la Amoni na kuuhusuru Raba. Lakini Daudi akakaa Yerusalemu.
2 While these thingis weren doon, it befelde, that Dauid roos in a dai fro his bed after mydday, and walkide in the soler of the kyngis hows; and he siy a womman waischynge hir silf euen ayens on hir soler; sotheli the womman was ful fair.
Hivyo ikawa siku moja wakati wa jioni Daudi akaamka kutoka kitandani na akatembea katika dari la kasri. Akiwa pale akamwona mwanamke aliyekuwa akioga, mwanamke yule alikuwa mzuri sana kwa mwonekano.
3 Therfor the kyng sente, and enqueride, what womman it was; and it was teld to hym, that sche was Bersabee, the douytir of Heliam, and was the wijf of Vrye Ethei.
Hivyo Daudi akatuma na kuuliza watu waliomfahamu yule mwanamke. Mtu mmoja akasema, “Je huyu siye Bathsheba, binti Eliamu, naye si mke wa Uria mhiti?
4 Therfor bi messangeris sent Dauid took hir; and whanne sche entride to hym, he slepte with hir, and anoon sche was halewid fro hir vnclenesse.
Daudi akatuma wajumbe nao wakamchukua; akaja kwake, na akalala naye(kwani ndo alikuwa amejitakasa kutoka siku zake). Kisha akarudi nyumbani kwake.
5 And sche turnede ayen in to hir hows, with child conseyued; and sche sente, and telde to Dauid, and seide, Y haue conseyued.
Mwanamke akawa mjamzito, naye akatuma na kumwambia Daudi; akasema, “mimi ni mjamzito.”
6 Forsothe Dauid sente to Joab, and seide, Sende thou Vrye Ethei to me; and Joab sente Vrye to Dauid.
Kisha Daudi akatuma watu kwa Yoabu kusema, “Umtume kwangu Uria mhiti.” Hivyo Yoabu akamtuma Uria kwa Daudi.
7 And Vrie cam to Dauid; and Dauid axide, hou riytfuli Joab dide and the puple, and hou the batel was mynystrid.
Uria alipofika, Daudi akamuuliza hali ya Yoabu. Jinsi jeshi lilivyokuwa likiendelea, na jinsi vita vilivyokuwa vinaendelea.
8 And Dauid seide to Vrye, Go in to thin hows, and waische thi feet. Vrye yede out fro the hows of the kyng, and the kyngis mete suede hym.
Daudi akamwambia Uria, “Shuka nyumbani kwako, unawe miguu yako. “Hivyo Uria akaondoka katika kasri la mfalme, mfalme akamtumia zawadi kwa Uria.
9 Sotheli Vrye slepte bifor the yate of the kyngis hows with othere seruauntis of his lord, and yede not doun to his hows.
Lakini Uria akalala pamoja na watumishi wa bwana wake katika lango la kasri, wala hakushuka nyumbani kwake.
10 And it was teld to Dauid of men, seiynge, Vrye `yede not to his hows. And Dauid seide to Vrye, Whether thou camest not fro the weye? whi yedist thou not doun in to thin hows?
Daudi alipoambiwa, “Uria hakushuka nyumbani kwake,” akamwambia Uria, Je haukutoka safarini? Kwa nini haukushuka nyumbani kwako?”
11 And Vrie seide to Dauid, The arke of God, Israel and Juda dwellen in tentis, and my lord Joab, and the seruauntis of my lord dwellen on the face of erthe, and schal Y go in to myn hows, to ete and drynke, and slepe with my wijf? Bi thin helthe, and bi the helthe of thi soule, Y schal not do this thing.
Uria akamjibu Daudi, “Sanduku, na Israeli na Yuda wamo kwenye mahema, na Yoabu na watumishi wa bwana wangu wamepiga hema uwandani. Jinsi gani basi mimi naweza kwenda nyumbani kwangu kula kunywa na kulala na mke wangu? kwa hakika kama uishivyo, sitafanya hivyo.
12 Therfor Dauid seide to Vrye, Dwelle thou here also to dai, and to morewe Y schal delyuere thee. Vrie dwellide in Jerusalem in that day and the tothir.
Hivyo Daudi akamwambia Uria, “Ukae leo pia, kesho nitakuacha uende.” Kwa hiyo uria akakaa Yerusalemu siku hiyo na iliyofuata.
13 And Dauid clepide hym, that he schulde ete and drynke bifor hym, and Dauid made drunkun Vrye; and he yede out in the euentid, and slepte in his bed with the seruauntes of his lord; and yede not doun in to his hows.
Daudi alipomwita, alikula na kunywa pamoja naye, Daudi akamfanya alewe. Wakati wa jioni Uria akaenda kulala kitandani pake pamoja na watumish wa bwana wake; hakushuka nyumbani kwake.
14 Therfor the morewtid was maad, and Dauid wroot epistle to Joab, and sente bi the hond of Vrye,
Hivyo asubuhi Daudi akamwandikia Yoabu barua, naye akaituma kwa mkono wa Uria.
15 and wroot in the pistle, Sette ye Vrye euene ayens the batel, where the batel is strongeste, `that is, where the aduersaries ben stronge, and forsake ye hym, that he be smitun and perische.
Ndani ya barua Daudi aliandika hivi, “Mweke Uria mbele ya vita vikali sana, na kisha, mmwache, ili apigwe na afe.
16 Therfor whanne Joab bisegide the citee, he settide Vrie in the place where he wiste that strongeste men weren.
Hivyo Yoabu alipoona mji ukizingirwa, alimweka Uria katika sehemu aliyojua askari adui wenye nguvu wangekuwa wakipigana.
17 And men yeden out of the citee, and fouyten ayens Joab, and thei killiden of the puple of seruauntis of Dauid, and also Vrye Ethei was deed.
Wakati watu wa mji walipotoka na kupigana dhidi ya jeshi la Yoabu, baadhi ya askari wa Daudi wakaanguka, na Uria Mhiti pia akauwawa.
18 Therfor Joab sente, and telde alle the wordis of the batel;
Wakati Yoabu alipotuma neno kwa mfalme kuhusu hali ya vita,
19 and he comaundyde to the messanger, and seide, Whanne thou hast fillid alle wordis of the batel to the kyng,
alimwagiza mjumbe, kusema, “Utakapomaliza kumwambia mfalme kuhusu hali ya vita,
20 if thou seest, that he is wrooth, and seith, Whi neiyiden ye to the wal to fiyte? whether ye wisten not, that many dartis ben sent `fro aboue fro the wal?
yawezekana mfalme akakasirika, naye akakwambia, 'Kwa nini mlipigana na mji kwa karibu hivyo, hamkujua kwamba wangeweza kushambulia kutokea ukutani?
21 who smoot Abymelech, sone of Gerobaal? whether not a womman sente on hym a gobet of a mylnestoon fro the wal, and killide hym in Thebes? whi neiyiden ye bisidis the wal? thou schalt seie, Also thi seruaunt, Vrye Ethei, diede.
Ni nani aliyemwua Abimeleki mwana wa Yerubeshethi? Siye mwanamke aliyerusha jiwe la kusagia juu yake kutoka ukutani, hata akafa huko Thebesi? Kwanini basi mliukaribia ukuta jinsi hiyo? Nawe umjibu, 'Uria mtumishi wako amekufa pia.”
22 Therfor the messanger yede, and telde to Dauid alle thingis whiche Joab hadde comaundid to hym.
Hivyo mjumbe akaondoka na kwenda kwa Daudi akamwambia kila jambo ambalo Yoabu alimtuma kusema.
23 And the messanger seide to Dauid, `Men hadden the maistri ayens us, and thei yeden out to vs in to the feeld; sotheli bi `fersnesse maad we pursueden hem `til to the yate of the citee.
Na mjumbe akamwambia Daudi, “Mwanzoni adui walikuwa na nguvu kuliko sisi; walitukabili uwandani, lakini tukawarudisha nyuma kwenye maingilio ya lango.
24 And archeris senten dartis to thi seruauntis fro the wal aboue, and summe of the `kyngis seruauntis ben deed; forsothe also thi seruaunt, Vrye Ethei, is deed.
Na wapiga mishale wao wakawarushia watumishi wako kutoka ukutani, na baadhi ya watumishi wa mfalme wameuawa, na mtumishi wako Uria mhiti pia ameuawa.”
25 And Dauid seide to the messanger, Thou schalt seie these thingis to Joab, This thing breke not thee; for the bifallyng of batel is dyuerse, and swerd wastith now this man, now that man; coumforte thi fiyteris ayens the citee, that thou distrye it, and excite thou hem.
Kisha Daudi akamwambia mjumbe, “Mwambie hivi Yoabu, 'Usiruhusu jamba hili likuhuzunishe, kwa maana upanga huangamiza huyu kama uangamizavyo na mwingine. Vifanye vita vyako kuwa vyenye nguvu zaidi dhidi ya mji, na uuteke.' Mtie moyo Yoabu.”
26 Forsothe the wijf of Vrye herde, that Vrye hir hosebond was deed, and sche biweilide hym.
Hivyo mke Uria aliposikia kwamba mme wake amekufa, akaomboleza sana kwa ajili yake.
27 And whanne the morenyng was passid, Dauid sente, and brouyte hir in to his hows; and sche was maad wijf to hym, and sche childide a sone to hym. And this word which Dauid hadde do displeside bifor the Lord.
Huzuni yake ilipoisha, Daudi akatuma na kumchukua kwake katika kasri lake, naye akawa mkewe na akamzalia mwana. Lakini alichokifanya Daudi hakikumpendeza Yahwe.
