Otra Samuela 11
1 Un kad gads bija pagājis, ap to laiku, kad ķēniņi mēdz iziet, tad Dāvids sūtīja Joabu un savus kalpus viņam līdz un visu Israēli, un tie postīja Amona bērnus un apmetās pret Rabu; bet Dāvids palika Jeruzālemē.
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 Un notikās ap vakara laiku, ka Dāvids cēlās no savas gultas un staigāja pa ķēniņa nama jumtu un redzēja no jumta sievu mazgājamies, un šī sieva bija ļoti skaista no skata.
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 Un Dāvids nosūtīja un lika vaicāt pēc tās sievas; tad sacīja: tā ir Batseba, Elijama meita, Hetieša Ūrijas sieva.
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 Tad Dāvids sūtīja vēstnešus un to lika atvest, un tā nāca pie viņa un viņš pie tās gulēja, un kad viņa no savas nešķīstības bija šķīstījusies, tad viņa atkal gāja mājās.
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 Un tā sieva tapa grūta. Tad viņa nosūtīja un deva Dāvidam ziņu un sacīja: es esmu grūta.
Bathsheba became pregnant and sent a message to David to tell him, “I'm pregnant.”
6 Tad Dāvids sūtīja pie Joaba sacīdams: sūti to Etieti Ūriju pie manis. Un Joabs sūtīja Ūriju pie Dāvida.
So David sent a message to Joab, telling him, “Send Uriah the Hittite to me.” Joab sent him to David.
7 Kad nu Ūrija pie viņa atnāca, tad Dāvids vaicāja: kā iet Joabam, kā iet ļaudīm un kā iet karā.
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 Un Dāvids sacīja uz Ūriju: noej savā namā un mazgā savas kājas. Un kad Ūrija no ķēniņa nama izgāja, tad viņam ķēniņa dāvanas tapa nestas pakaļ.
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 Bet Ūrija apgūlās priekš ķēniņa nama durvīm ar visiem sava kunga kalpiem un negāja mājās.
But Uriah didn't go home. He slept in the guardroom at the palace entrance with all the king's guards.
10 Un Dāvidam deva ziņu un sacīja: Ūrija nav gājis uz mājām. Tad Dāvids sacīja uz Ūriju: Vai tu nenāci no ceļa? Kāpēc tu nenoej savā namā?
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 Un Ūrija sacīja uz Dāvidu: Dieva šķirsts un Israēls un Jūda paliek teltīs, un mans kungs Joabs un mana kunga kalpi mīt laukā; vai tad es ietu mājās ēst un dzert un pie savas sievas gulēt? Tik tiešām kā tu dzīvs un tava dvēsele dzīva, es to nedarīšu.
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 Tad Dāvids sacīja uz Ūriju: paliec arī šodien šeitan, tad es tev rītu atlaidīšu. Tā Ūrija palika Jeruzālemē šo un otru dienu.
David told him, “Stay here today, and tomorrow I'll send you back.” So Uriah stayed in Jerusalem that day, and the next.
13 Un Dāvids to aicināja, ka tas viņa priekšā ēda un dzēra, un viņš to piedzirdināja. Un vakarā viņš izgāja apgulties savās cisās ar sava kunga kalpiem, un viņš nenogāja mājās.
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 Un otrā rītā Dāvids rakstīja grāmatu Joabam un to sūtīja caur Ūriju.
In the morning David wrote Joab a letter, and gave it to Uriah to take to him.
15 Un tai grāmatā viņš tā bija rakstījis: nostādiet Ūriju tai vietā, kur tā visgrūtākā kaušanās, un novēršaties aiz viņa, ka viņš top kauts un mirst.
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 Un notikās, kad Joabs to pilsētu aplenca, tad viņš nostādīja Ūriju tādā vietā, kur viņš zināja, ka tur bija stipri vīri.
As Joab besieged the town, he made Uriah take a place where he knew the strongest enemy men would be fighting.
17 Kad nu pilsētas vīri izgāja un ar Joabu kāvās, tad krita kādi no tiem ļaudīm, no Dāvida kalpiem, un Etietis Ūrija arī nomira.
When the town's defenders came out and attacked Joab, some of David's men were killed, including Uriah the Hittite.
18 Tad Joabs sūtīja un deva Dāvidam ziņu par visām karalietām.
Joab sent David a full report about the battle.
19 Un viņš pavēlēja tam vēstnesim un sacīja: kad tu būsi ķēniņam izstāstījis visas karalietas,
He ordered the messenger, saying, “When you've finished telling the king all about the battle,
20 Un ķēniņam dusmas celsies un viņš uz tevi sacīs: kāpēc jūs tik tuvu pie pilsētas esat gājuši kauties? Vai jūs nezinājāt, ka no mūra šaus?
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 Kas Abimeleku, JerubBezeta dēlu, ir nokāvis? Vai sieva uz viņu nemeta dzirnu akmeni no mūra, ka tas Tebecā nomira? Kāpēc esat gājuši tik tuvu pie mūra? Tad saki: tavs kalps Ūrija, tas Etietis, arīdzan nomiris.
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 Un tas vēstnesis nogāja un nāca un stāstīja Dāvidam visu, par ko Joabs viņu bija sūtījis.
The messenger left, and when he arrived he told David everything Joab had directed him to say.
23 Un tas vēstnesis sacīja uz Dāvidu: tie vīri bija stiprāki nekā mēs, un iznāca pret mums laukā, bet mēs viņiem pretī turējāmies līdz pat vārtu durvīm.
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 Tad strēlnieki no mūra šāva uz taviem kalpiem, ka kādi no ķēniņa kalpiem nomira,
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 Un tavs kalps Ūrija, tas Etietis, arīdzan nomiris. Tad Dāvids sacīja uz to vēstnesi: Tā saki uz Joabu: lai tev sirds neēdās šīs lietas dēļ, jo zobens rij te šo, te citu, stāvi jo stipri karā pret to pilsētu un izposti to, - un tā iedrošini viņu.
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 Kad nu Ūrijas sieva dzirdēja, ka viņas vīrs Ūrija bija miris, tad viņa gaudās par savu kungu.
When Uriah's wife heard that her husband was dead, she mourned for him.
27 Un kad gaudu laiks bija pagājis, tad Dāvids nosūtīja un to ņēma savā namā, un tā viņam palika par sievu un viņam dzemdēja dēlu. Bet šī lieta, ko Dāvids darīja, Tam Kungam nepatika.
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.
