2 Samuel 11
1 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.
It happened, at the return of the year, at the time when kings go out, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the people of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem.
2 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.
Now it happened one evening that David got up from his bed and walked on the roof of the king's palace; and he saw a woman bathing, and the woman was very beautiful.
3 Devid ziri ozi ka a jụta onye nwanyị ahụ bụ, ma a gwara ya na ọ bụ Batsheba, nwa Eliam, nwunye Ụraya onye Het.
And David sent and inquired about the woman. And one said, "Isn't this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hethite?"
4 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.
So David sent messengers to get her, and she came in to him, and he lay with her. (For she had been purifying herself from her uncleanness.) And she returned to her house.
5 Nwanyị a mechara dị ime, bịa ziga ozi ka agwa Devid. Ọ sịrị, “Adị m ime.”
The woman conceived; and she sent and told David, and said, "I'm pregnant."
6 Mgbe Devid nụrụ ya, o zigaara Joab ozi sị ya, “Zitere m Ụraya, onye Het.”
Then David sent to Joab and said, "Send me Uriah the Hethite." So Joab sent Uriah to him.
7 Mgbe Ụraya bịakwutere ya, Devid jụrụ ya otu Joab mere, na otu ndị agha Izrel dị na otu agha si aga.
And Uriah came to him, and David asked about the prosperity of Joab, and of the prosperity of the people, and of the prosperity of the war. And he said, "Its well."
8 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.
And David said to Uriah, "Go down to your house, and wash your feet." So Uriah went out from the presence of the king, and a gift from the king was sent after him.
9 Ma Ụraya agaghị nʼụlọ ya. Kama o so ndị na-ejere eze ozi dinaa nʼọnụ ụzọ e si abata ụlọeze.
But Uriah slept at the king's door with his master's servants, and did not go down to his house.
10 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?”
And it was reported to David, saying, "Uriah did not go down to his house." So David said to Uriah, "Haven't you come from a journey? Why did you not go down to your house?"
11 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.”
And Uriah said to David, "The ark and Israel and Judah are staying in tents; and my lord Joab and the servants of my lord are camped in the open field. Then how can I go to my house to eat and to drink and to lie with my wife? As the LORD lives, and as you live, I will not do this thing."
12 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.
Then David said to Uriah, "Stay here today also, and tomorrow I will let you depart." So Uriah stayed in Jerusalem that day.
13 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.
And the next day David summoned him, and he ate and drank in his presence, and he became drunk. But in the evening he went out and lay on a bed with his master's servants, and did not go down to his house.
14 Nʼụtụtụ echi ya, Devid degaara Joab akwụkwọ, zighachịkwa ya site nʼaka Ụraya.
It happened in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah.
15 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.”
He wrote in the letter, saying, "Send Uriah to the forefront of the hottest battle, and retreat from him, that he may be struck down and die."
16 Ya mere, mgbe Joab gbara obodo ahụ gburugburu, o tinyere Ụraya nʼebe ọ maara na ndị dị ike nʼetiti ndị iro ha nọ.
It happened, when Joab kept watch on the city, that he assigned Uriah to the place where he knew that valiant men were.
17 Ndị ikom obodo ahụ pụtara buso Joab agha. Ụfọdụ ndị agha Devid nwụrụ. Ụraya onye Het, so na ndị egburu.
The men of the city went out, and fought with Joab. Some of the people fell, even of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hethite died also.
18 Mgbe ahụ, Joab zigara ozi gwa Devid otu agha si na-aga,
Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war;
19 Ọ gwara onyeozi ahụ sị, “Mgbe ị gwachara eze akụkọ ihe gbasara otu agha si gaa
and he commanded the messenger, saying, "When you have finished telling all the things concerning the war to the king,
20 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?
if it happens that he becomes angry,
21 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.’”
then you are to say, 'Your servant Uriah the Hethite is dead also.'"
22 Onyeozi ahụ biliri ije, mgbe o rutere, ọ gwara Devid ihe niile Joab ziri ya ka o zie.
So the messenger of Joab went to the king in Jerusalem and reported to David everything that Joab had told him.
23 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.
The messenger said to David, "The men overpowered us, and came out to us into the field, and when we drove them back to the entrance of the gate,
24 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.”
then the arrows came down heavily on your servants from the wall, and some eighteen men of the king's servants died." And the messenger finished the words to the king about the report of the battle. Then David was very angry with Joab, and said to the messenger, "Why did you go so close to the city to fight? Didn't you know you would be struck from the wall? Who struck Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal? Didn't a woman cast an upper millstone on him from the wall so that he died at Thebez? Why did you go so near to the wall?" [Then the messenger said to the king, ] "Also your servant Uriah the Hethite is dead."
25 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.”
Then David said to the messenger, "Thus you shall tell Joab, 'Do not let this thing displease you, for the sword devours one as well as another. Make your battle stronger against the city, and overthrow it.' And encourage him."
26 Mgbe nwunye Ụraya nụrụ na di ya anwụọla, o ruru ụjụ nʼihi ya.
When the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she made lamentation for her husband.
27 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.
When the mourning was past, David sent and took her home to his house, and she became his wife, and bore him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the LORD.
