2 Samyèl 11
1 Alò, li te fèt pandan prentan an, lè ke wa yo konn sòti batay, ke David te voye Joab, ansanm avèk sèvitè li yo ak tout Israël. Yo te detwi fis a Ammon yo e yo te fè syèj nan Rabba, men David te rete Jérusalem.
And it came to pass, at the return of the year, at the time when kings go out [to battle], that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried at Jerusalem.
2 Epi lè lannwit te vin rive, David te leve nan kabann li. Li te mache antoure twati kay wa a, soti nan twati a, li te wè yon fanm ki t ap benyen. Epi fanm nan te byen bèl nan aparans li.
And it came to pass at eventide, 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 bathing; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon.
3 Konsa, David te voye mande konsèy sou fanm sa a. Epi youn te di: “Èske sa se pa Bath-Schéba, fis a Éliam nan, fanm a Urie a, Itit la?”
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?
4 David te voye mesaje pran li. Lè li te parèt kote li, li te kouche avèk li ( paske li te fin pirifye tèt li de salte a). Epi li te retounen lakay li.
And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in unto him, and he lay with her (for she was purified from her uncleanness); and she returned unto her house.
5 Fanm nan te vin ansent. Li te voye di David: “Mwen ansent.”
And the woman conceived; and she sent and told David, and said, I am with child.
6 Konsa, David te voye kote Joab. Li te di: “Voye ban mwen Urie, Itit la.” Konsa, Joab te voye Urie kote David.
And David sent to Joab, [saying], Send me Uriah the Hittite. And Joab sent Uriah to David.
7 Lè Urie te vin kote li, David te mande pa sikonstans a Joab avèk tout pèp la ak jan lagè a te mache a.
And when Uriah was come unto him, David asked of him how Joab did, and how the people fared, and how the war prospered.
8 Alò, David te di a Urie: “Desann lakay ou pou lave pye ou.” Epi Urie te desann sòti lakay wa, a e yon kado soti nan men wa a te voye ba li.
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 food] from the king.
9 Men Urie te dòmi kote pòt lakay wa a avèk tout sèvitè a mèt li yo. Li pa t desann lakay li.
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.
10 Alò, lè yo te di David: “Urie pa t desann lakay li,” David te di a Urie: “Èske ou pa t fenk fin fè yon vwayaj? Poukisa konsa ou pa t desann lakay ou?”
And when they had told David, saying, Uriah went not down unto his house, David said unto Uriah, Art thou not come from a journey? wherefore didst thou not go down unto thy house?
11 Urie te di a David: “Lach la menm avèk Israël avèk Juda ap rete nan tant yo; epi mèt mwen, Joab avèk sèvitè a mèt mwen yo ap fè kan nan chan louvri. Konsa, kijan mwen kapab ale lakay mwen pou manje bwè e kouche avèk madanm mwen? Pa lavi ou ak lavi nanm ou menm, mwen p ap fè bagay sa a.”
And Uriah said unto 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 field; 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 Alò, David te di a Urie: “Rete isit la jodi a tou e demen mwen va kite ou ale.” Konsa, Urie te rete Jérusalem nan jou sa a ak pwochen jou a.
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.
13 Alò David te rele li, li te manje bwè devan li e li te fè li sou. Epi nan aswè, li te sòti pou kouche sou kabann li avèk sèvitè a mèt li yo, men li pa t desann lakay li.
And when David had called him, he did eat and drink before him; and he made him drunk: and at even he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but went not down to his house.
14 Alò, nan maten, David te ekri yon lèt a Joab pou te voye li nan men Urie.
And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah.
15 Li te ekri nan lèt la, e te di: “Mete Urie pa devan nan chan kote batay la pi rèd la e retounen kite li, pou l kab tonbe mouri.”
And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set ye Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, that he may be smitten, and die.
16 Konsa, se te pandan Joab t ap veye vil la, ke li te mete Urie nan plas kote li te konnen lènmi an te gen mesye vanyan yo.
And it came to pass, when Joab kept watch upon the city, that he assigned Uriah unto the place where he knew that valiant men were.
17 Mesye vil yo te sòti goumen kont Joab, kèk nan moun pami sèvitè a David yo te tonbe. Epi Urie, Itit la te mouri tou.
And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab: and there fell some of the people, even of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hittite died also.
18 Alò, Joab te voye bay rapò a David selon tout evenman lagè a.
Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war;
19 Li te kòmande mesaje a, e te di: “Lè ou fin pale tout afè lagè yo a wa a,
and he charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast made an end of telling all the things concerning the war unto the king,
20 epi li vin rive ke kòlè leve nan wa a e li di ou: ‘Poukisa ou te pwoche pre vil la konsa pou goumen? Èske ou pa t konnen ke yo ta tire soti sou miray la?
it shall be that, if the king’s wrath arise, and he say unto thee, Wherefore went ye so nigh unto the city to fight? knew ye not that they would shoot from the wall?
21 Se kilès ki te frape Abimélec, fis a Jerubbéscheth la? Èske se pa yon fanm ki te jete yon wòch moulen sou li soti nan miray ki fè l mouri Thébets la? Poukisa ou te pwoche pre miray la?’ epi ou va di: ‘Sèvitè ou a Urie, Itit la, te mouri tou.’”
who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? did not a woman cast an upper millstone upon him from the wall, so that he died at Thebez? why went ye so nigh the wall? then shalt thou say, Thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.
22 Konsa, mesaje a te pati pou te vin bay rapò a David, de tout sa ke Joab te voye li pale yo.
So the messenger went, and came and showed David all that Joab had sent him for.
23 Mesaje a te di a David: “Mesye yo te genyen sou nou e te sòti kont nou nan chan an; men nou te peze yo rèd jis rive nan antre pòtay la.
And the messenger said unto David, The men prevailed against us, and came out unto us into the field, and we were upon them even unto the entrance of the gate.
24 Anplis, mesye banza yo te tire sou sèvitè ou yo soti nan miray la. Konsa, kèk nan sèvitè ou yo mouri, e sèvitè ou a, Urie, Etyen an mouri osi.”
And the shooters shot at thy servants from off the wall; and some of the king’s servants are dead, and thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.
25 Alò David te di a mesaje a: “Konsa ou va pale Joab, ‘Pa kite bagay sa a fè ou mal, paske nepe a devore youn menm jan ke yon lòt. Fè batay ou kont vil la vin pi rèd pou boulvèse li’. Se konsa pou ankouraje li.”
Then David said unto the messenger, Thus shalt thou say unto 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.
26 Alò, lè madanm a Urie te tande ke Urie, mari li a, te mouri, li te kriye pou mari li.
And when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she made lamentation for her husband.
27 Lè tan kriye a te fini, David te voye mennen li lakay li, li te devni madanm li, e li te fè yon fis pou li. Men bagay ke David te fè a te mal nan zye SENYÈ a.
And when the mourning was past, David sent and took her home to his house, and she became his wife, and bare him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased Jehovah.
