II Samuela 11

1 A I ka makahiki hou, i ka manawa e hele aku ai na alii [i ke kaua, ] hoouna aku la o Davida ia Ioaba, a me na kauwa ana me ia, a me ka Iseraela a pau; a luku aku la lakou i ka poe mamo a Amona; a pue aku la ia Raba: aka, noho iho la o Davida ma Ierusalema ia manawa.

Now in the spring, at the time when kings go out to war, David sent Joab and his servants and all Israel with him; and they made waste the land of the children of Ammon, and took up their position before Rabbah, shutting it in. But David was still at Jerusalem.

2 A i ka manawa ahiahi, ala'e la o Davida mai kona wahi moe, a holoholo ae la maluna o ka hale o ke alii: nana aku la ia mai luna ae o ka hale i kekahi wahine e auau ana: a he maikai loa ua wahine la ke nanaia'ku.

Now one evening, David got up from his bed, and while he was walking on the roof of the king's house, he saw from there a woman bathing; and the woman was very beautiful.

3 Hoouna aku la o Davida e ninau aku no ka wahine. I mai la kekahi, Aole anei keia o Bateseba ke kaikamahine a Eliama, ka wahine hoi a Uria ka Heta?

And David sent to get knowledge who the woman was. And one said, Is this not Bath-sheba, the daughter of Eliam and wife of Uriah the Hittite?

4 Hoouna aku la o Davida i na mea kii aku, a lalau aku la ia ia: a hele mai la ia iloko io na la, a moe iho la kela me ia; no ka mea, ua huikalaia oia i kona haumia ana: a hoi hou aku la ia i kona hale.

And David sent and took her; and she came to him, and he took her to his bed: (for she had been made clean; ) then she went back to her house.

5 A hapai ae la ua wahine la, hoouna aku la a hai ia Davida, i ka i ana, Ua hapai au.

And the woman became with child; and she sent word to David that she was with child.

6 Hoouna aku la o Davida io Ioaba la, i aku la, E hoouna mai oe ia Uria ka Heta i o'u nei. A hoouna mai la o Ioaba ia Uria io Davida la.

And David sent to Joab saying, Send Uriah the Hittite to me. And Joab sent Uriah to David.

7 A hiki mai la o Uria io na la, ninau aku la o Davida ia ia i ka pomaikai o Ioaba, me ka pomaikai o na kanaka, a me ka pomaikai ana o ke kaua.

And when Uriah came to him, David put questions to him about how Joab and the people were, and how the war was going.

8 I aku la o Davida ia Uria, e iho iho oe i kou hale, a e holoi i kou wawae. A hele aku la o Uria iwaho o ka hale o ke alii, a ukali aku la kekahi ai mahope ona na ke alii aku.

And David said to Uriah, Go down to your house and let your feet be washed. And Uriah went away from the king's house, and an offering from the king was sent after him.

9 Aka, hiamoe iho la o Uria ma ka puka o ka hale o ke alii me na kauwa a pau a kona haku, aole ia i hele aku i kona hale.

But Uriah took his rest at the door of the king's house, with all the servants of his lord, and did not go down to his house.

10 Hai aku la lakou ia Davida, i aku la, Aole i hele aku o Uria i kona hale. Ninau aku la o Davida ia Uria, Aole anei oe i hele mai mai kou hele ana? Heaha hoi kau i hele ole aku ai i kou hale?

And when word was given to David that Uriah had not gone down to his house, David said to Uriah, Have you not come from a journey? why did you not go down to your house?

11 I aku la o Uria ia Davida, Ke noho nei ka pahuberita, a o ka Iseraela a o ka Iuda iloko o na halelewa; ke hoomoana la hoi kuu haku o Ioaba me na kauwa a kuu haku mawaho ma ke kula; e komo anei hoi au iloko o ko'u hale e ai, a e inu, a e moe me ka'u wahine? Ma kou ola ana, me ke ola ana hoi o kou uhane, aole au e hana ia mea.

And Uriah said to David, Israel and Judah with the ark are living in tents, and my lord Joab and the other servants of my lord are sleeping in the open field; and am I to go to my house and take food and drink, and go to bed with my wife? By the living Lord, and by the life of your soul, I will not do such a thing.

12 I aku la o Davida ia Uria, E noho iho hoi oe i keia la, a apopo e kuu aku ai au ia oe e hoi. A noho iho la o Uria ma Ierusalema ia la, a hiki i kekahi la ae.

And David said to Uriah, Be here today, and after that I will let you go. So Uriah was in Jerusalem that day and the day after.

13 Kahea aku la o Davida ia ia, a ai iho la ia a inu hoi imua ona; hoinu iho la o Davida ia ia a ona: a ahiahi ae la, hele aku la ia iwaho e moe ma kona wahi moe me na kauwa o kona haku, aole nae ia i hele i kona hale.

And when David sent for him, he took meat and drink with him, and David made him the worse for drink: and when evening came, he went to rest on his bed with the servants of his lord, but he did not go down to his house.

14 A kakahiaka ae, kakau iho la o Davida i ka palapala ia Ioaba, a hoouka aku la ia ma ka lima o Uria.

Now in the morning, David gave Uriah a letter to take to Joab.

15 Kakau iho la ia iloko o ka palapala, i ka i ana'ku, E hoonoho aku oe ia Uria ma ke alo o ke kaua ikaika, a e hoi i hope oukou mai ona aku la, i pepehiia'i oia a make.

And in the letter he said, Take care to put Uriah in the very front of the line, where the fighting is most violent, and go back from him, so that he may be overcome and put to death.

16 A i ko Ioaba nana ana aku i ke kulanakauhale, hoonoho aku la oia ia Uria ma kahi ana i ike ai ilaila na kanaka ikaika.

So while Joab was watching the town, he put Uriah in the place where it was clear to him the best fighters were.

17 Hele mai la na kanaka o ua kulanakauhale la iwaho, a kaua mai la ia Ioaba ma: a hina iho la kekahi poe kanaka o na kauwa a Davida, a make iho la hoi o Uria ka Heta.

And the men of the town went out and had a fight with Joab: and a number of David's men came to their death in the fight, and with them Uriah the Hittite.

18 Hoouna aku la o Ioaba, a hai aku la ia Davida i na mea a pau o ke kaua;

Then Joab sent David news of everything which had taken place in the war:

19 Kauoha aku la ia i ka elele, i aku la, A pau kau hai ana aku i na mea o ke kaua i ke alii;

And he gave orders to the man who took the news, saying, After you have given the king all the news about the war,

20 Ina paha e huhu mai ke alii, a e i mai hoi ia oe, No ke aha la oukou i hele aku ai pela a kokoke i ke kulanakauhale i ke kaua ana o oukou? Aole anei oukou i ike, e pana mai lakou mai luna mai o ka pa?

If the king is angry and says, Why did you go so near the town for the fight? was it not certain that their archers would be on the wall?

21 Nawai i pepehi ia Abimeleka ke keiki a Ierubeseta? Aole anei he wahine i hoolei iho i ka apana pohaku wili palaoa maluna ona, i make ai oia ma Tebeza? No ke aha la oukou i hele aku ai a kokoke i ka pa? Alaila e i aku oe, Ua make no hoi kau kauwa o Uria o ka Heta.

Who put Abimelech, the son of Jerubbaal, to death? did not a woman send a great stone down on him from the wall, putting him to death at Thebez? why did you go so near the wall? Then say to him, Your servant Uriah the Hittite is among the dead.

22 Hele aku la ka elele, hiki aku la a hai aku la ia Davida i na mea a pau a Ioaba i hoouna aku ai ia ia.

So the man went, and came to David, and gave him all the news which Joab had sent him to give; then David was angry with Joab and said, Why did you go so near the town for the fight? was it not certain that their archers would be on the wall? who put Abimelech, the son of Jerubbaal, to death? did not a woman send a great stone down on him from the wall, putting him to death at Thebez? why did you go so near the wall?

23 I aku la ka elele ia Davida, He oiaio ua lanakila mai kela poe kanaka maluna o makou, a hele mai la lakou iwaho io makou la ma ke kula, a hahai aku la makou ia lakou a hiki i ke komo ana ma ka puka.

And the man said to David, Truly the men got the better of us, and came out against us into the open country, but we sent them back to the very doors of the town.

24 A pana mai la ka poe pana mai luna mai o ka pa maluna iho o kau poe kauwa, a ua make kekahi poe kauwa a ke alii, a ua make hoi kau kauwa o Uria.

And the archers sent their arrows at your servants from the wall, and some of the king's servants are dead, and among them is your servant Uriah the Hittite.

25 Alaila i aku la o Davida i ka elele, Penei kau e olelo aku ai ia Ioaba, Mai hoino oe ia mea ma kou manao; no ka mea, i ka ai ana mai a ka pahikaua e like me keia, pela no i na mea a pau: e hooikaika ae oe i kou kaua ana i ke kulanakauhale, a e hookahuli ia wahi; a nau no e hooikaika aku ia ia.

Then David said to the man, Go and say to Joab, Do not let this be a grief to you; for one man may come to his death by the sword like another: put up an even stronger fight against the town, and take it: and do you put heart into him.

26 A lohe ae la ka wahine a Uria, ua make o Uria kana kane, kanikau iho la ia i kana kane.

And when the wife of Uriah had news that her husband was dead, she gave herself up to weeping for him.

27 A pau ae la ke kanikau ana, kii aku la o Davida, a lawe mai la ia ia i kona hale, a lilo ae la ia i wahine nana: a hanau mai la ia i keikikane nana: aka, he ino ka mea a Davida i hana'i imua o Iehova.

And when the days of weeping were past, David sent for her, and took her into his house, and she became his wife and gave him a son. But the Lord was not pleased with the thing David had done.
