II Samuel 11
1 Napasamak daytoy iti panawen a panagtutubo dagiti mulmula, iti tiempo a kadawyan a mapan makigubat dagiti ari, imbaon ni David ni Joab, dagiti adipenna, ken amin nga armada ti Israel. Dinadaelda ti armada ti Ammon ken linakubda ti Rabba. Ngem nagtalinaed ni David iti Jerusalem.
In the spring, at the time of year when kings go out to war, David sent out Joab and his officers and the whole Israelite army on an attack. They massacred the Ammonites and besieged Rabbah. However, David remained behind in Jerusalem.
2 Ket napasamak iti maysa a rabii a bimmangon iti pagiddaanna ni David ken nagpagnapagna iti tuktok ti palasiona. Manipud sadiay, natannawaganna iti maysa a babai nga agdigdigus, ken nakapinpintas unay a kitkitaen ti babai.
Late one afternoon, David got up from taking a nap and was walking on the roof of the palace. From the roof he saw a woman bathing—a very beautiful woman.
3 Isu a nangibaon ni David ken nagsaludsod kadagiti tattao no siasino ti makaam-ammo iti babai. Adda maysa a nangibaga, “Saan kadi a daytoy ni Batseba a putot a babai ni Eliam, ken saan kadi nga isuna ti asawa ni Urias a Heteo?”
David sent someone to find out about the woman. He was told, “It's Bathsheba, daughter of Eliam, and wife of Uriah the Hittite.”
4 Nangibaon ni David kadagiti mensahero ket innalada ti babai; napan ti babai kenni David ket kinaiddana isuna (ta kalkalpas ni Batseba a nangannong iti binulan a seremonia ti pannakadalus gapu iti panagreglana). Kalpasanna, nagawid ti babai iti balayna.
David sent messengers to fetch her. When she came to him, he had sex with her. (Now she had just purified herself from having her period.) Afterwards she went back home.
5 Nagnginaw ti babai, nangibaon isuna ket imbagana kenni David, “Masikogak.”
Bathsheba became pregnant and sent a message to David to tell him, “I'm pregnant.”
6 Ket nangibaon ni David iti ayan ni Joab a kinunana, “Ibaonmo kaniak ni Urias a Heteo.” Isu nga imbaon ni Joab ni Urias a mapan kenni David.
So David sent a message to Joab, telling him, “Send Uriah the Hittite to me.” Joab sent him to David.
7 Idi makadanon ni Urias, dinamag ni David no kumusta ni Joab, ti armada, ken ti gubat.
When Uriah came to see him, David asked him how Joab was doing, and how the army was doing, and how the war was going.
8 Kinuna ni David kenni Urias, “Bumabaka idiay balaymo, ket buggoam dagiti sakam.” Isu a pinanawan ni Urias ti palasio ti ari ket nangipatulod iti maysa a sagut ti ari para kenni Urias kalpasan a nakapanaw isuna.
Then David told Uriah, “Go home now and have a rest.” Uriah left the palace, and the king sent him a gift after he'd gone.
9 Ngem naturog ni Urias iti ruangan ti palasio ti ari a kadua dagiti amin nga adipen ti apona, ket saan isuna a bimmaba iti balayna.
But Uriah didn't go home. He slept in the guardroom at the palace entrance with all the king's guards.
10 Idi imbagada kenni David, “Saan a bimmaba ni Urias iti balayna,” Kinuna ni David kenni Urias, “Saan kadi a kasangsangpetmo manipud iti panagdaliasat? Apay a saanka a bimmaba iti balaymo?”
David was told, “Uriah didn't go home,” so he asked Uriah, “Haven't you just got back from being away? Why didn't you go home?”
11 Simmungbat ni Urias, “Adda kadagiti tolda ti Lakasa ti Tulag, ti Israel ken ti Juda, nakakampo pay iti nalawa a tay-ak ni apok a Joab ken dagiti adipen ti apok. Kasanoak a mapan iti balayko tapno mangan, uminom ken makikaidda iti asawak? Agingga a sibibiagka apo ari, saankonto nga aramiden dayta.”
Uriah answered, “The Ark and the armies of Israel and Judah are living in tents, and my master Joab and his men are camped out in the open. How can I go home and eat and drink and sleep with my wife? On my life I won't do such a thing!”
12 Isu nga imbaga ni David kenni Urias, “Agtalinaedka pay ditoy ita nga aldaw, ket palubosankanto a pumanaw inton bigat.” Isu a nagtalinaed ni Urias iti Jerusalem iti dayta nga aldaw ken iti sumaruno nga aldaw.
David told him, “Stay here today, and tomorrow I'll send you back.” So Uriah stayed in Jerusalem that day, and the next.
13 Idi inayaban ni David isuna, nangan ken imminom isuna iti sangoananna, ket binartek isuna ni David. Iti dayta a rabii, rimmuar ni Urias tapno maturog iti pagiddaanna a kaduana dagiti adipen ti apona; saan isuna a bimmaba iti balayna.
David invited Uriah to dinner. Uriah ate and drank with him, and David got Uriah drunk. But in the evening he went to sleep on his mat with the king's guards, and didn't go home.
14 Isu nga iti kinabigatanna, nagsurat ni David kenni Joab, ket impatulodna daytoy iti ima ni Urias.
In the morning David wrote Joab a letter, and gave it to Uriah to take to him.
15 Kinuna ni David iti suratna, “Ikabilmo ni Urias iti sango iti nainget a gubat, ket agsanudkayo manipud kenkuana tapno matamaan isuna ket matay.”
In the letter, David told Joab, “Put Uriah right in the front where the fighting is worst, and then pull back behind him so that he'll be attacked and killed.”
16 Isu a bayat ti panangbuya ni Joab ti pananglakub iti siudad, pinagpuestona ni Urias iti disso nga ammona a pagkirangetan dagiti kapipigsaan a soldado dagiti kabusor.
As Joab besieged the town, he made Uriah take a place where he knew the strongest enemy men would be fighting.
17 Idi rimmuar dagiti lallaki iti siudad ket nakirangetda iti armada ni Joab, nattuang ti sumagmamano kadagiti soldado ni David, ket natay met sadiay ni Urias a Heteo.
When the town's defenders came out and attacked Joab, some of David's men were killed, including Uriah the Hittite.
18 Idi nangibaon ni Joab iti damag kenni David iti amin a napasamak maipapan iti gubat,
Joab sent David a full report about the battle.
19 binilinna ti mensahero a kinunana, “No malpasmo nga ibaga iti ari ti amin a banag maipapan iti gubat,
He ordered the messenger, saying, “When you've finished telling the king all about the battle,
20 nalabit a makaungetto ti ari ket kunananto kenka, 'Apay nga immasidegkayo unay iti siudad a makiranget? Saanyo kadi nga ammo nga agpanada manipud iti pader?
if the king's gets angry and asks you, ‘Why did you get so near to the town in the attack? Didn't you know they would shoot arrows from the wall?
21 Siasino ti nangpatay kenni Abimelec a putot ni Jerobaal? Saan kadi a maysa a babai ti nangipuruak iti gilingan a bato kenkuana manipud iti pader, isu a natay isuna idiay Tebes? Apay nga immasidegkayo unay iti pader?' Ket kastoyto ti isungbatmo, 'Natay met ti adipenmo a ni Urias a Heteo.'”
Who killed Abimelech, son of Jerub-Besheth? Wasn't it a woman who dropped a millstone on him from the wall, killing him there in Thebez? Why on earth did you get so close to the wall?’ Just tell him, ‘In addition, your officer Uriah the Hittite was killed.’”
22 Isu a pimmanaw ti mensahero, napan kenni David ket imbagana amin nga imbilin ni Joab kenkuana.
The messenger left, and when he arrived he told David everything Joab had directed him to say.
23 Kinuna ti mensahero kenni David, “Idi un-unana, napigpigsa dagiti kabusor ngem kadakami; rimmuarda ket dimmarupda kadakami idiay tay-ak, ngem naabogmi ida a pasubli iti pagserrekan ti ruangan.”
The messenger explained to David, “The defenders were stronger than us, and they came out at us in the open, but we forced them back to the entrance of the town gate.
24 Manipud iti tuktok ti pader, pinana dagiti pumapana dagiti adipenmo ket napapatay ti sumagmamano kadagiti adipen ti ari ken napapatay met ti adipenmo a ni Urias a Heteo”
Their archers shot at us from the wall, and killed some of the king's men. Your officer Uriah the Hittite was also killed.”
25 Kinuna ni David iti mensahero, “Ibagam daytoy kenni Joab, 'Saanmo nga ipalubos a paglidayennaka daytoy, ta alun-onen ti kampilan ti maysa kasta met ti sabali. Papigsaenyo pay ti pannakirangetyo maibusor iti siudad, ket dadaelenyo daytoy,' Ken pabilegem ni Joab.”
Then David said to the messenger, “Tell Joab this: ‘Don't be upset about this, for the sword destroys people at random. Press on with your attack against the town and conquer it.’ Encourage him by telling him this.”
26 Isu nga idi nangngeg iti asawa ni Urias a natayen ti asawana, nagdung-aw isuna iti nakaro para iti asawana.
When Uriah's wife heard that her husband was dead, she mourned for him.
27 Idi nalpasen ti panagladingitna, nangibaon ni David ket inyawidna ti babai iti palasiona, nagbalin isuna nga asawana ket nangipasngay iti maysa a lalaki. Ngem saan a naay-ayo ni Yahweh iti inaramid ni David.
Once the period of mourning was over, David sent for her to be brought to his palace, and she became his wife and bore him a son. But what David had done was evil in the Lord's sight.
