< 2 Samũeli 11 >
1 Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ya kĩmera yaakinya ihinda rĩrĩa athamaki maathiiaga mbaara-inĩ-rĩ, Daudi agĩtũma Joabu hamwe na andũ a mũthamaki na mbũtũ ciothe cia mbaara cia andũ a Isiraeli. Makĩananga Aamoni magĩcooka makĩrigiicĩria Raba. Nowe Daudi agĩtigwo Jerusalemu.
And it came to pass, at the return of the year, at the time when kings go forth, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they laid waste the [land of the] children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David abode at Jerusalem.
2 Hwaĩ-inĩ ũmwe-rĩ, Daudi agĩũkĩra akiuma gĩtanda-inĩ gĩake agĩthiĩ gũceeranga kũu igũrũ rĩa nyũmba ya ũthamaki. Arĩ nyũmba igũrũ akĩona mũndũ-wa-nja agĩĩthamba. Mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio aarĩ mũthaka mũno,
And it came to pass at evening time that David arose from off his couch, and walked upon the roof of the king's house; and from the roof he saw a woman bathing, and the woman was very beautiful;
3 nake Daudi agĩtũma mũndũ agatuĩrie ũhoro wake. Mũndũ ũcio akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Githĩ ũcio ti Bathisheba, mwarĩ wa Eliamu mũtumia wa Uria ũrĩa Mũhiti?”
and David sent and inquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Urijah the Hittite?
4 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Daudi agĩtũma andũ makamũgĩĩre. Mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio agĩũka kũrĩ Daudi, nake agĩkoma nake. (Nĩgũkorwo nĩethereetie ihinda rĩake rĩa mweri), nake agĩgĩĩcookera gwake mũciĩ.
And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in to him, and he lay with her; and she had purified herself from her uncleanness; and she returned to her house.
5 Mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio akĩgĩa nda na agĩtũmanĩra Daudi, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndĩ na nda.”
And the woman conceived, and sent and told David, and said, I am with child.
6 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Daudi agĩtũma mũndũ athiĩ kũrĩ Joabu amwĩre atĩrĩ: “Ndũmĩra Uria ũrĩa Mũhiti.” Nake Joabu agĩtũma Uria kũrĩ Daudi.
And David sent to Joab [saying], Send me Urijah the Hittite. And Joab sent Urijah to David.
7 Rĩrĩa Uria ookire, Daudi akĩmũũria ũhoro wa ũrĩa Joabu aatariĩ, na ũhoro wa ũrĩa thigari ciatariĩ, na ũrĩa mbaara yathiiaga na mbere.
And when Urijah had come to him, David asked how Joab prospered, and how the people prospered, and how the war prospered.
8 Ningĩ Daudi akĩĩra Uria atĩrĩ, “Ikũrũka gwaku mũciĩ ũgethambe magũrũ.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Uria akiuma nyũmba ya ũthamaki, na akĩrũmĩrĩrio kĩheo kuuma kũrĩ mũthamaki.
And David said to Urijah, Go down to thy house and wash thy feet. And Urijah departed out of the king's house, and there followed him presents from the king.
9 No Uria agĩkoma itoonyero-inĩ rĩa nyũmba ya ũthamaki hamwe na ndungata ciothe cia mwathi wake, na ndaigana gũikũrũka athiĩ gwake mũciĩ.
And Urijah slept at the entrance of the king's house with all the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.
10 Rĩrĩa Daudi eerirwo atĩrĩ, “Uria ndaanathiĩ mũciĩ,” akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Githĩ to hĩndĩ woka kuuma kũraya? Nĩ kĩĩ kĩragiririe ũthiĩ mũciĩ?”
And they had told David saying, Urijah did not go down to his house; and David said to Urijah, Art thou not come from a journey? why didst thou not go down to thy house?
11 Uria akĩĩra Daudi atĩrĩ, “Ithandũkũ rĩa Jehova, na andũ a Isiraeli na a Juda maikarĩte hema-inĩ, na mwathi wakwa Joabu na andũ a mwathi wakwa maikarĩte kambĩ kũu werũ-inĩ. Ingĩrahotire atĩa gũthiĩ mũciĩ gwakwa, ngarĩe na nganyue, na ngome na mũtumia wakwa? Ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa ũtũũraga muoyo, ndingĩĩka ũndũ ta ũcio!”
And Urijah said to David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah abide in booths; 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.
12 Ningĩ Daudi akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ikara gũkũ mũthenya ũngĩ ũmwe, na rũciũ nĩngagũtũma ũcooke.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Uria agĩikara Jerusalemu mũthenya ũcio na ũcio ũngĩ warũmĩrĩire.
And David said to Urijah, Abide here to-day also, and to-morrow I will let thee depart. And Urijah abode in Jerusalem that day and the morrow.
13 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Daudi aamwĩtire, akĩrĩĩanĩra na akĩnyuuanĩra nake, ningĩ Daudi agĩtũma arĩĩo nĩ njoohi. No hwaĩ-inĩ Uria agĩthiĩ gũkoma mũgeeka-inĩ wake arĩ hamwe na ndungata cia mwathi wake; ndaigana gũthiĩ gwake mũciĩ.
And David invited him, and he ate and drank before him; and he made him drunk. And in the evening he went out to lie on his couch with the servants of his lord, but did not go down to his house.
14 Rũciinĩ Daudi akĩandĩkĩra Joabu marũa, akĩmanengera Uria atware.
And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by Urijah.
15 Marũa macio maandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ, “Twara Uria harĩa mbaara ĩĩhĩire mũno. Ũcooke ũmũtiganĩrie nĩgeetha ooragwo.”
And he wrote in the letter saying, Set Urijah in the front of the thickest fight, and withdraw from him, that he may be smitten and die.
16 Rĩrĩa Joabu aarigiicĩirie itũũra rĩrĩa inene, akĩiga Uria harĩa aamenyaga nĩho haarĩ agitĩri arĩa maarĩ njamba.
And it came to pass as Joab watched the city, that he assigned Urijah to a place where he knew that the valiant men were.
17 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa andũ a itũũra rĩu inene mookire kũrũa na Joabu-rĩ, andũ amwe a mbũtũ cia ita cia Daudi makĩũragwo; o nake Uria ũrĩa Mũhiti agĩkua.
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 Urijah the Hittite died also.
18 Joabu agĩtũma mũndũ kũrĩ Daudi akamũhe ũhoro wothe wa mbaara ĩyo.
Then Joab sent and told David all the matters of the war;
19 Nake agĩatha mũndũ ũcio aatũmire atĩrĩ: “Warĩkia kũhe mũthamaki ũhoro ũyũ wothe wa mbaara,
and charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast ended telling the matters of the war to the king,
20 marakara ma mũthamaki maahota kũrĩrĩmbũka, nake aahota gũkũũria atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmire mũkuhĩrĩrie mũno itũũra inene mũkarũe? Kaĩ mũtooĩ atĩ no mamũrathe na mĩguĩ marĩ rũthingo-inĩ?
and if so be that the king's wrath arise, and he say to thee, Why did ye go so near to the city to fight? did ye not know that they would shoot from the wall?
21 Nũũ woragire Abimeleku mũrũ wa Jerubu-Beshethu? Githĩ ti mũndũ-wa-nja wamũikĩirie ihiga rĩa gĩthĩi arĩ rũthingo-inĩ igũrũ? Githĩ ti kĩo gĩatũmire akuĩre kũu Thebezu? Nĩ kĩĩ kĩratũmire mũthiĩ hakuhĩ mũno na rũthingo?’ Angĩgakũũria ũguo-rĩ, nawe ũkaamũcookeria atĩrĩ, ‘O nayo ndungata yaku, Uria ũrĩa Mũhiti nĩmũkuũ.’”
Who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? did not a woman cast the upper stone of a handmill from the wall, that he died in Thebez? why did ye go near the wall? — then say thou, Thy servant Urijah the Hittite is dead also.
22 Nake mũndũ ũcio akiumagara agĩthiĩ, na aakinya, akĩĩra Daudi maũndũ mothe marĩa Joabu aamũtũmĩte akoige.
And the messenger went; and he came and told David all that Joab had sent him for.
23 Nake mũndũ ũcio watũmĩtwo akĩĩra Daudi atĩrĩ, “Andũ acio maratũkĩririe hinya, marooka kũrũa na ithuĩ werũ-inĩ, no tũrakĩmahũndũra nginya itoonyero-inĩ rĩa kĩhingo gĩa itũũra rĩrĩa inene.
And the messenger said to David, The men prevailed against us, and came out against us into the field, and we were upon them as far as the entrance of the gate.
24 Hĩndĩ ĩyo aikia a mĩguĩ maraikĩria ndungata ciaku mĩguĩ marĩ rũthingo igũrũ, na andũ amwe a mũthamaki nĩmakuĩte. O na ningĩ ndungata yaku, Uria ũrĩa Mũhiti, nĩĩkuĩte.”
And the shooters shot from upon the wall against thy servants; and some of the king's servants are dead, and thy servant Urijah the Hittite is dead also.
25 Nake Daudi akĩĩra mũndũ ũcio atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ wĩre Joabu atĩrĩ: ‘Tiga kũigua ũũru nĩ ũhoro ũcio; rũhiũ rũniinaga mũndũ ũmwe o ta ũrĩa rũniinaga ũrĩa ũngĩ. Thiĩ na mbere gũtharĩkĩra itũũra rĩu inene ũrĩanange.’ Wĩre Joabu ũguo nĩgeetha ũmũũmĩrĩrie.”
Then David said to the messenger, Thus shalt thou say to Joab: Let not this thing displease thee, for the sword devours one as well as another: make thy battle strong against the city, and overthrow it; — and encourage him.
26 Rĩrĩa mũtumia wa Uria aiguire atĩ mũthuuriwe nĩakuĩte-rĩ, akĩmũcakaĩra.
And the wife of Urijah heard that Urijah her husband was dead, and she mourned for her husband.
27 Ihinda rĩa gũcakaya rĩathira-rĩ, Daudi akiuga areehwo gwake nyũmba, nake agĩtuĩka mũtumia wake, na akĩmũciarĩra kahĩĩ. No rĩrĩ, ũndũ ũcio Daudi ekĩte nĩwarakaririe Jehova.
And when the mourning was past, David sent and fetched her to his house, and she became his wife, and bore him a son. But the thing that David had done was evil in the sight of Jehovah.
