2 Samue 11
1 Hagi mago mago kafumofo agu'afina zasi koma atu knamo'ma vaganerege'za kini vahe'mo'za ha' vahe'zami'a ha' ome hunezamantaza kanagino, Deviti'a Joapune mika Israeli sondia vahetaminena hate viho huno huzmantege'za, zamagra vu'za Amoni vahera ome zamahe'za zamazeri haviza nehu'za, Raba kuma ome avazagi kagi'naze. Hianagi Deviti'a ana hatera ovuno, Jerusalemi mani'ne.
[In that region], kings usually went [with their armies] to fight [their enemies] in the springtime. But the following year, in the springtime, David [did not do that. Instead, he] stayed in Jerusalem, and he sent [his commander] Joab [to lead the army]. So Joab went with the other officers and the rest of the Israeli army. They [crossed the Jordan River and] defeated the army of the Ammon people-group. Then they surrounded [their capital city, ] Rabbah.
2 Hagi mago kinaga Deviti'a tafe'are mase'nereti otino noma'amofo agofetu vano nehuno keana, mago hentofa a'mo'a ti nefregeno ke'ne.
Late one afternoon, after David got up from taking a nap, he walked around on the [flat] roof of his palace. He saw a woman who was bathing [in the courtyard of her house]. The woman was very beautiful.
3 Hagi Deviti'a keteno mago vahe hunteno amanage hu'ne, Fenamu ara izapi ome ketenka eme nasamio, higeno ome keteno ete eme asamino, Eliamu mofa Batsiba Hiti ne' Uria nenaro'e.
David sent a messenger to find out who she was. [The messenger returned] and said, “She is [RHQ] Bathsheba. She is the daughter of Eliam, and her husband is Uriah, from the Heth people-group.”
4 Anante Deviti'a eri'za vahe huzamantege'za vu'za ana ara ome avre'za ageno, anteno mase'ne. (Hagi e'inama hu'neana namunka mani'nereti vagarentegeno ti ome freno agra'a azeri agru nehigeno ke'ne.) Hagi Deviti'enema maseteno'a ete noma'arega vu'ne.
Then David sent more messengers to get her. They brought her to David, and he (slept/had sex) [EUP] with her. (She had just finished performing the rituals to make herself pure [after her monthly menstrual period].) Then Bathsheba went back home.
5 Hagi ana a'mo'ma keama amu'enema nehuno'a, Devitina kea atrenteno anage hu'ne, Namu'ene hue huno hu'ne.
[After some time], she realized that she was pregnant. So she sent a messenger to tell David [that she was pregnant].
6 Higeno Deviti'a Joapuna ke atrenteno, Hiti ne' Uriana huntegeno eno, higeno Joapu'a Uriana huntegeno Devitintega vu'ne.
Then David sent a message to Joab. He said, “Send Uriah, from the Heth people-group, to me.” So Joab did that. He sent Uriah to David.
7 Hagi Uria'ma Devitinte'ma ehanatigeno'a Deviti'a asamino, Joapuzane sondia vahera inankna hu'za mani'ne'za hara nehaze nehuno,
When he arrived, David asked if Joab was well, and if other soldiers were well, and how the war was progressing.
8 anante Deviti'a Uriana hunteno, Vunka umani fru huo, huno huntegeno nevigeno'a, mago'a musezana antentege'za eri'za ome ami'naze.
Then David, [hoping that Uriah would go home and sleep with his wife, ] said to Uriah, “Okay, go home and relax for a while. [IDM]” So Uriah left, and David gave someone a gift [of some food] to take to Uriah’s house.
9 Hianagi Uria'a noma'arega ovu'neanki kini ne'mofo eri'za vahe'ene kini ne' ku'ma kahampi umaseno mani'ne.
But Uriah did not go home. Instead, he slept at the palace entrance with the king’s palace guards.
10 Mago'a vahe'mo'za Devitina eme asami'za, Uria'a noma'arega uorami'ne, hu'za hazageno Deviti'a kehigeno Uria'a egeno anage huno asami'ne, za'za kna umani'nanteti e'nananki na'a higenka nonka'arega ovu'nane?
When someone told David that Uriah did not go to his house [that night], David [summoned him again and] said to him, “Why didn’t you go home [to be with your wife last night], after having been away for a long time?” [RHQ]
11 Anage higeno Uria'a Devitina kenona hunteno, Ra Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempage vogisigi, Israeli sondia vaheki, Juda vahe'mo'za seli nompi manizageno, rankva vahe'ni'a Joapu'ene sondia vahete kva vahetamina ha' kampima seli nomaki'za mani'nenafina nagrama noniaregama vu'na ne'za ome nenena, a'ninema mase so'e huzamo'a knarera osu'ne. Hagi tamagerafa hu'na e'ina huzana osutfa hugahue.
Uriah replied, “The soldiers of Judah and Israel are camping in the open fields, and even our commander Joab is sleeping in a tent, and the sacred chest is with them. (How could I/It would not be right for me to) go home, eat and drink, and sleep with my wife [RHQ]. I solemnly declare [IDM] that I will never do such a thing!”
12 Anage higeno Deviti'a Uriana asamino, Meni kenagera are mase'negena, okina huganta'nena ete hate vuo. Higeno Uria'a Jerusalemi ana kenagera maseno magokna mani'ne.
Then David said to Uriah, “Stay here today. I will let you return [to the battle] tomorrow.” So Uriah stayed in Jerusalem that day and that night.
13 Hagi Deviti'a ke higeno noma'afi Uria'a eno Deviti'ene ne'zana nenegeno, akatina rama'a ami'geno neno neginagi hu'ne. Hu'neanagi ana kinaga Uria'a noma'arega vunora a'anena uomase'neanki, Deviti eri'za vahe'ene ko'ma mase'nere umase'ne.
The next day, David invited him [to a meal]. So Uriah had a meal with David, and David made him drink a lot of wine so that he would get drunk, [hoping that if he was drunk, he would sleep with his wife]. But that night, Uriah again did not go home. Instead, he slept on his cot with the king’s servants.
14 Hagi nanterana Deviti'a mago avona Joapuntega krenenteno, Uriana huntegeno erino vu'ne.
[Someone reported that to] David, [so] the next morning he wrote a letter to Joab, and gave it to Uriah to take to Joab.
15 Hagi ana avompina amanage huno krente'ne, Uriana ha'ma hanavemati'za nehanafi avuga avrenentenka sondia vahera kehuge'za atre'za esageno, anampi Uriana ahesageno frino.
In the letter, he wrote, “Put Uriah in the front line, where the fighting is the (worst/most severe). Then command the soldiers to pull back from him, in order that he will be killed [by our enemies].”
16 Higeno Joapu'a hara nehuno negegeno ha'mo'ma ra higeno, hanave ha' vahe'mo'zama ha'ma nehaza kaziga Uriana avrentegeno hara hu'ne.
[So after] Joab [got the letter], as his army was surrounding the city, he sent Uriah to a place where he knew that their enemies’ strongest and best soldiers would be fighting.
17 Hagi rankuma agu'afinti vahe'ma e'za hara eme huzmante'za mago'a Deviti sondia vahera zamahage'za frizageno, anampina Hiti ne' Urianena ahegeno fri'ne.
The men from the city came out and fought with Joab’s soldiers. They killed some of David’s officers, including Uriah.
18 Ana higeno Joapu'a ana miko'zama ha'pima fore'ma hiazana kema erino vu vahe huzmantege'za Devitina ome asami'naze.
Then Joab sent a messenger to David to tell him about the fighting.
19 Hagi Joapu'a kema erino vu vahera hunteno, Ama miko'zama fore'ma hia zamofo nanekea kini nera asami vagaro.
He said to the messenger, “Tell David the news about the battle. After you finish telling that to him,
20 Hagi agra arimpama ahesigeno'a, amanage hugahie, nahigeta rankuma keginamofo tavaontera vu'naze? Zamagrama kuma keginamofo agofetuti'ma kevema tamahesaza zana tamagra ontahi'nazo?
if David is angry [because so many officers were killed], he may ask you, ‘Why did your soldiers go so close to the city to fight [RHQ]? Did you not know that they would shoot [arrows at you while they were standing on top] of the city wall [RHQ]?
21 Hagi ko'ma Abimelekinte'ma fore'ma hu'nea zana tamagekaninefi? Hagi Abimeleki'a Gidioni nemofokino, Tebesi kuma'mofo tava'onte oti'negeno, mago a'mo ku'ma keginamofo agofetu oti'neno witima refuzafu nepaza ra havenu erino ahegeno fri'ne. E'ina hu'negu nahigeta tamagra ana kegina tava'ontera vu'naze? Huno kini ne'mo'ma kantahigesigenka, anampina Uria'ene fri'ne hunka asamio.
Do you not remember how Abimelech, the son of Gideon, was killed? A woman [who lived] in Thebez threw a huge (millstone/stone for grinding grain) on him from [the top of] tower, and he died. So why did your troops go near to the city wall?’ If the king asks this, then tell him, ‘Your officer Uriah also was killed.’”
22 Higeno ana kema erino vu vahe'mo'a vu'ne. Hagi ana miko kema Joapu'ma huntea kea Devitina eme asami vagare'ne.
So the messenger went and told David everything that Joab told him to say.
23 Hagi ana eri'za nemo'a Devitina asamino, Ko agupofi hara hanavetiza eme hurante'nazanagi tagra inene huta rankuma'mofo kafante hara huta vu'none.
The messenger said to David, “Our enemies were very brave, and came out of the city to fight us in the fields. [They were defeating us] but we forced them back to the city gate.
24 Hagi mago'a Amoni sondia vahe'mo'za kuma keginamofo agofetu manine'za kevereti tahazage'za kini ne'moka mago'a eri'za vaheka'a fri'naze. Hagi anampina Hiti ne' eri'za neka'a Uria'a fri'ne.
Then their archers shot arrows at us from [the top of] the city wall. They killed some of your officers. They killed your officer Uriah, too.”
25 Hagi Deviti'a kema erino vu'nea nera asamino, Joapuna asamigeno ama ana zankura agesa ontahino, na'ankure mago ne'mo'a hapima fri'nia zana antahino keno osu'negu, ome asamigeno hanavetino hara nehuno, ana kumara erino. Amama kasamua kereti azeri hankanavetio.
David said to the messenger, “Go back to Joab and say to him, ‘Do not be distressed [about what happened], because no one ever knows who will be killed in a battle.’ Tell him that the next time his troops should attack the city more strongly, and capture it.”
26 Hagi Uria nenaro'ma antahiama nevema hapima ahe'naze higeno'a, asunku huno zavi ate'ne.
When Uriah’s wife [Bathsheba] heard that her husband had died, she mourned for him.
27 Hagi asunku'ma huvaregeno'a, Deviti'a huzamantege'za ana ara avre'za ageno a' avrentegeno mani'neno ne' mofavre kasente'ne. Hianagi Deviti'ma hu'nea zankura Ra Anumzamo'a musena osu'ne.
When her time of mourning was ended, David sent messengers to bring her to the palace. Thus, she became David’s wife. She later gave birth to a son. But Yahweh was very displeased with what David had done.
