2 Samuele 11
1 Na mobu oyo elandaki, na tango oyo bakonzi bazalaka na momesano ya kokende na bitumba, Davidi atindaki Joabi elongo na basali na ye mpe mampinga nyonso ya Isalaele. Babomaki bato ya Amoni mpe bazingelaki Raba. Kasi Davidi atikalaki na Yelusalemi.
And it came to pass at the return of the year, at the time when kings go forth to war, that David sent Joab and his servants with him, and all Israel, and they spoiled the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabba: but David remained in Jerusalem.
2 Mokolo moko na pokwa, Davidi alamukaki wuta na mbeto na ye mpe atambolaki na veranda ya likolo ya ndako ya mokonzi. Wuta na likolo ya veranda, amonaki mwasi moko azali kosukola. Mwasi yango azalaki kitoko makasi.
In the mean time it happened that David arose from his bed after noon, and walked upon the roof of the king’s house: and he saw from the roof of his house a woman washing herself, over against him: and the woman was very beautiful.
3 Davidi atindaki moto moko kokende koluka koyeba soki mwasi yango azali nani. Moto yango alobaki: « Ezali Batisheba, mwana mwasi ya Eliami, mwasi ya Iri, moto ya Iti. »
And the king sent, and inquired who the woman was. And it was told him, that she was Bethsabee the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Urias the Hethite.
4 Davidi atindaki bantoma mpo na kozwa ye. Batisheba ayaki epai ya Davidi, mpe Davidi asangisaki na ye nzoto. Sima na ye komipetola na mbindo na ye, Batisheba azongaki na ndako na ye.
And David sent messengers, and took her, and she came in to him, and he slept with her: and presently she was purified from her uncleanness:
5 Akomaki na zemi, mpe atindaki maloba epai ya Davidi: « Nazali na zemi. »
And she returned to her house having conceived. And she sent and told David, and said: I have conceived.
6 Davidi atindaki maloba epai ya Joabi: « Tindela ngai Iri, moto ya Iti. » Joabi atindaki Iri epai ya Davidi.
And David sent to Joab, saying: Send me Urias the Hethite. And Joab sent Urias to David.
7 Tango Iri akomaki epai na ye, Davidi atunaki ye soki Joabi azali malamu, soki basoda bazali malamu mpe soki bitumba ezali koleka ndenge nini.
And Urias came to David. And David asked how Joab did, and the people, and how the war was carried on.
8 Bongo Davidi alobaki na Iri: « Kende na ndako na yo mpe sukola makolo na yo. » Iri atikaki ndako ya mokonzi; mpe sima na ye, mokonzi atindelaki ye kado.
And David said to Urias: Go into thy house, and wash thy feet. And Urias went out from the king’s house, and there went out after him a mess of meat from the king.
9 Kasi Iri alalaki na ekotelo ya ndako ya mokonzi elongo na basali nyonso ya mokonzi na ye; akendeki te na ndako na ye.
But Urias slept before the gate of the king’s house, with the other servants of his lord, and went not down to his own house.
10 Tango bayebisaki Davidi ete Iri akendeki na ndako te, atunaki ye: — Boni, yo owuti mosika te? Mpo na nini oboyi kozonga na ndako na yo?
And it was told David by some that said: Urias went not to his house. And David said to Urias: Didst thou not come from thy journey? why didst thou not go down to thy house?
11 Iri azongiselaki Davidi: — Sanduku, Isalaele mpe Yuda bazali kovanda na bandako ya kapo; mpe Joabi, nkolo na ngai, elongo na bato na ye bazali kolala libanda kati na zamba. Ndenge nini ngai nakende na ndako na ngai mpo na kolia, komela mpe kolala na mwasi na ngai? Solo, na kombo na yo mokonzi, nakoki kosala likambo ya boye te.
And Urias said to David: The ark of God and Israel and Juda dwell in tents, and my lord Joab and the servants of my lord abide upon the face of the earth: and shall I go into my house, to eat and to drink, and to sleep with my wife? By thy welfare and by the welfare of thy soul I will not do this thing.
12 Davidi alobaki na Iri: — Vanda lisusu awa lelo, bongo lobi nakozongisa yo. Iri avandaki na Yelusalemi mokolo wana mpe mokolo oyo elandaki.
Then David said to Urias: Tarry here today, and tomorrow I will send thee away. Urias tarried in Jerusalem that day and the next.
13 Davidi abengisaki ye. Iri aliaki mpe amelaki elongo na ye, mpe Davidi alangwisaki ye. Kasi na pokwa, Uri abimaki mpo na kokende kolala na mbeto na ye elongo na basali ya mokonzi, kasi akendeki na ndako na ye te.
And David called him to eat and to drink before him, and he made him drunk: and he went out in the evening, and slept on his couch with the servants of his lord, and went not down into his house.
14 Na tongo, Davidi akomelaki Joabi mokanda mpe atindaki yango na nzela ya Iri.
And when the morning was come, David wrote a letter to Joab: and sent it by the hand of Urias,
15 Kati na mokanda yango, akomaki boye: « Tia Iri na molongo ya liboso, na esika oyo bitumba ezali makasi. Mpe bino, bozonga sima na ye mpo ete babeta ye mpe akufa. »
Writing in the letter: Set ye Urias in the front of the battle, where the fight is strongest: and leave ye him, that he may be wounded and die.
16 Joabi oyo azalaki kokengela engumba, atiaki Iri na esika oyo ayebaki ete ezali penza na basoda ya mpiko.
Wherefore as Joab was besieging the city, he put Urias in the place where he knew the bravest men were.
17 Bongo tango bato ya engumba babimaki mpo na kobundisa Joabi, ndambo ya basoda kati na mampinga ya Davidi bakufaki; Iri, moto ya Iti, mpe akufaki.
And the men coming out of the city, fought against Joab, and there fell some of the people of the servants of David, and Urias the Hethite was killed also.
18 Joabi atindelaki Davidi sango nyonso ya bitumba.
Then Joab sent, and told David all things concerning the battle.
19 Apesaki mitindo oyo epai ya ntoma: « Tango okosilisa kopesa sango ya bitumba epai ya mokonzi,
And he charged the messenger, saying: When thou hast told all the words of the battle to the king,
20 mokonzi akoki kotomboka mpe kotuna yo: ‹ Mpo na nini bopusanaki makasi pembeni ya engumba mpo na kobunda? Boyebaki te ete bakokaki kobeta batolotolo wuta na mir?
If thou see him to be angry, and he shall say: Why did you approach so near to the wall to fight? knew you not that many darts are thrown from above off the wall?
21 Nani abomaki Abimeleki, mwana mobali ya Yerubesheti? Ezalaki te mwasi oyo, wuta na likolo ya mir, abwakelaki ye libanga oyo banikelaka ble, yango wana akufaki na Tebesi? Mpo na nini bopusanaki pembeni ya mir? › Soki atuni yo bongo, loba na ye: ‹ Mosali na yo, Iri, moto ya Iti, mpe akufi. › »
Who killed Abimelech the son of Jerobaal? did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from the wall, and slew him in Thebes? Why did you go near the wall? Thou shalt say: Thy servant Urias the Hethite is also slain.
22 Motindami akendeki, mpe tango akomaki, ayebisaki Davidi makambo nyonso oyo Joabi atindaki ye koloba.
So the messenger departed, and came and told David all that Joab had commanded him.
23 Alobaki na Davidi: — Bato yango bazalaki makasi koleka biso, bayaki kobundisa biso na libanda, mpe tobenganaki bango kino na ekotelo ya engumba.
And the messenger said to David: The men prevailed against us, and they came out to us into the field: and we vigorously charged and pursued them even to the gate of the city.
24 Bongo basoda oyo babundaka na batolotolo babetaki na batolotolo na bango basali na yo wuta na likolo ya mir. Ndambo ya bato ya mokonzi bakufaki, ezala mosali na yo, Iri, moto ya Iti, mpe akufaki.
And the archers shot their arrows at thy servants from off the wall above: and some of the king’s servants are slain, and thy servant Urias the Hethite is also dead.
25 Davidi alobaki na ntoma: — Tala makambo oyo okoloba na Joabi: « Tika ete likambo oyo etungisa yo te. Mopanga ekoki koboma songolo to pakala. Sala makasi mpo na kobundisa engumba mpe bebisa yango. » Loba makambo oyo mpo na kolendisa Joabi.
And David said to the messenger: Thus shalt thou say to Joab: Let not this thing discourage thee: for various is the event of war: and sometimes one, sometimes another is consumed by the sword: encourage thy warriors against The city, and exhort them that thou mayest overthrow it.
26 Tango mwasi ya Iri ayokaki ete mobali na ye akufi, asalelaki ye matanga.
And the wife of Urias heard that Urias her husband was dead, and she mourned for him.
27 Sima na matanga, Davidi abengisaki mwasi ya Uri kati na ndako na ye mpe akomisaki ye mwasi na ye. Mwasi yango abotelaki Davidi mwana mobali. Kasi likambo oyo Davidi asalaki esepelisaki Yawe te.
And the mourning being over, David sent and brought her into his house, and she became his wife, and she bore him a son: and this thing which David had done, was displeasing to the Lord.
