2 Samoela 11
1 Ie an-tsam-pamalihan-taoñe, i sam-piavotam-panjaka hihotakotakey, le nirahe’ i Davide t’Ioabe, rekets’ o mpitoro’eo, naho Israele iaby; le rinotsa’ iereo o ana’ i Amoneo vaho niarikatohe’ iereo t’i Ramà. F’ie nitambatse e Ierosalaime ao t’i Davide.
And it came to pass, at the return of the year, at the time of the going forth of kings, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel, and they destroyed the sons of Ammon, and laid siege to Rabbah, —but, David, was remaining in Jerusalem.
2 Aa teo ty hariva te nitroatse am-pandrea’e t’i Davide, naho nidraidraitse an-tafon’ anjomba’ i mpanjakay; ie an-tafo ey ro nahatalake ty rakemba niandro; nimontramontra i rakembay, hasoa-vintañe.
And it came to pass that, at eventide, David arose from his couch, and walked to and fro on the roof of the king’s house, when, from the roof, he saw a woman bathing herself, —the woman being exceeding beautiful to look upon.
3 Nampañitrike hañontane i rakembay t’i Davide. Le hoe re: Tsy ie hao i Batesevae, ana’ i Eliame, tañanjomba’ i Orià nte-Kite?
And David sent and enquired after the woman, —and one said—Is not, this, Bath-sheba, daughter of Eliam, wife of Uriah the Hittite?
4 Aa le nampihitrife’ i Davide; ie niheo mb’ama’e ao, niolora’e, aa ie fa nañefe-batañe amy haleora’ey ro nimpoly añ’anjomba’e ao.
And David sent messengers, and fetched her, and she came in unto him, and he lay with her, she having purified herself from her uncleanness, —and she returned unto her own house.
5 Niareñe i rakembay vaho nirahe’e amy Davide ty hoe: Mivesatse iraho.
And the woman, having conceived, sent and told David, and said, I am with child.
6 Aa le nafanto’ i Davide amy Ioabe ty hoe: Iraho mb’amako mb’etoa t’i Orià nte-Kite. Aa le nirahe’ Ioabe mb’ amy Davide t’i Orià.
Then sent David unto Joab, Send unto me Uriah the Hittite. So Joab sent Uriah unto David.
7 Aa ie pok’ ama’e t’i Orià, le nañontanea’ i Davide te nanao akore t’Ioabe, naho ondatio naho i fañotakotaha’ i aliy.
And, when Uriah had come in unto him, David asked—how Joab prospered, and how the people prospered, and how the war prospered.
8 Le hoe t’i Davide amy Orià: Akia, mizotsoa mb’añ’ akiba’o mb’eo, naho manasà fandia. Aa le niavotse añ’ anjomba’ i mpanjakay t’i Orià vaho nampañoriheñ’ aze ty mahakama, ravoravo boak’ amy mpanjakay.
Then said David unto Uriah, Go down unto thy house, and bathe thy feet. And, when Uriah went out of the house of the king, there followed him, a present from the king.
9 Fe nirotse an-dalan’ anjomba’ i mpanjakay t’i Orià mindre amo mpitoro’ i talè’ey iabio vaho tsy nizotso mb’ añ’anjomba’e mb’eo.
But Uriah slept at the entrance of the king’s house, with all the servants of his lord, —and went not down unto his own house.
10 Aa ie natalily amy Davide ty hoe: Tsy nizotso mb’añ’ anjomba’e mb’eo t’i Orià. Le hoe t’i Davide amy Orià, Tsy vaho nihirik’ an-dia-lava v’iheo? Aa vaho akore t’ie tsy nizotso mb’ añ’anjomba’o mb’eo?
And it was told David, saying, Uriah went not down, unto his own house. So David said unto Uriah—Was it not, from a journey, thou didst come? why, then, hast thou not been down unto thine own house?
11 Le hoe t’i Orià amy Davide: Songa mimoneñe an-kibohotse i vatam-pañinay, naho Israele, vaho Iehodà; mbore mitobe an-kivok’ ey t’Ioabe talèko mindre amo mpitoron-talèkoo; aa le himoak’ añ’ anjombako ao hao iraho hihinañe naho hinoñe, vaho handre amy valikoy? Kanao velon-drehe naho veloñe ty arofo’o, tsy hanoeko.
And Uriah said unto David—The ark, and Israel and Judah, are dwelling in huts and, my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, on the face of the field, are encamped, Was, I, then, to enter my own house, to eat and to drink and to lie with my wife? By thy life, yea by the life of thy soul, I could not do this thing.
12 Le hoe t’i Davide amy Orià: Mahaliñisa atoy hey te anito, le hengako hiavotse te maray. Aa le niambesatse e Ierosalaime ao t’i Orià amy andro zay; le ie loakandro
Then said David unto Uriah—Abide here to-day also, and, to-morrow, will I let thee go. So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day, and the morrow.
13 nikanjie’ i Davide naho nikama naho ninoñe ama’e; vaho nimamoe’e; le niakatse añe re te hariva nandre am-pandreañe mindre amo mpitoro’ i taleio, fe tsy nizotso mb’ añ’ anjomba’e mb’eo.
And David called him, and he did eat before him, and drank, and he made him drunk, —and he went forth in the evening to lie down on his bed, with the servants of his lord, but, unto his own house, went he not down.
14 Aa ie maraiñe, nanokitse taratasy am’ Ioabe t’i Davide, vaho nampisangitrifa’e am-pità’ i Orià.
And so it was, in the morning, that David wrote a letter unto Joab, —and sent it by the hand of Uriah;
15 Le hoe ty sinoki’e amy taratasiy: Apoho aolo amy hotakotake miforoforoy t’i Orià, le isitaho, soa t’ie ho fofoheñe hivetrake.
and he wrote in the letter, saying, —Set ye Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, that he be smitten and die.
16 Ie amy zao, naho nisary i aliy t’Ioabe le nafanto’e hitoetse amo fanalolahio t’i Orià.
So it came to pass, when Joab was laying siege to the city, that he put Uriah in the place where he knew that the men of valour, were.
17 Aa le niavotse ondati’ i rovaio, nifandraparapak’ am’ Ioabe; nitsingoro eo ty ila’ ondatio, naho ty ila’ o mpitoro’ i Davideo; vaho nihomake ka t’i Orià nte-Kite.
And forth sallied the men of the city, and fought with Joab, and there fell some of the people, of the servants of David, —then died also, Uriah the Hittite.
18 Le nañirake t’Ioabe naho nitalily i aliy amy Davide;
So Joab sent and told David all the news of the battle;
19 le hoe ty nafanto’e amy nampihitrifa’ey: Ie fa nitalilie’o amy mpanjakay i aly iabiy,
and he charged the messenger saying, —When thou hast ended all the news of the battle, in speaking unto the king,
20 naho miforoforo ty haviñera’ i mpanjakay, manao ama’o ty hoe: Aa vaho akore t’ie niheo mb’eo hialy marine i rovay hoe zao? Tsy nifohi’ areo t’ie hitifitse boak’ ambone’ i kijoliy ey?
then shall it be, if the king’s anger arise, and he say unto thee, Why came ye near unto the city, to fight? Knew ye not, that they would shoot from off the wall?
21 ia ty nañoho-doza amy Akimelek’ ana’ Ierobesete? tsy roakemba hao ty nametsake vato-fandisanañe-ambone ama’e boak’ an-kijoly ey nampihomak’ aze e Tebetse añe? Aa vaho manao akore te niharinea’ areo i rindriñey? le hoe ty hatao’o: Nihomake ka i mpitoro’o Orià nte-Kitey.
Who smote Abimelech son of Jerubbaal? Did not, a woman, cast on him an upper millstone from off the wall, that he died, in Thebez? Wherefore came ye near unto the wall? Then shalt thou say—Moreover, thy servant, Uriah the Hittite, died.
22 Aa le nimb’eo i nafantokey vaho natalili’e amy Davide iaby i nampañitrife’ Ioabe azey.
And the messenger went his way, —and came in, and told David, all that Joab had sent him [to tell].
23 Le hoe i ìrakey amy Davide: Toe naname anay ondatio naho niakatse mb’ ama’ay an-kivoke ey fe nampolie’ay pak’ am-pimoahañe an-dalam-bey eo.
And the messenger said unto David, The men were too strong for us, and sallied forth against us, in the field, —so we were drawn against them as far as the opening of the gate.
24 Le hiniriri’ o mpitàm-paleo o mpitoro’oo boak’ amy kijoliy, naho amo mpitoro’ i mpanjakaio ty nivetrake, vaho nihomake ka t’i Orià nte-Kite mpitoro’oy.
Then did the archers shoot upon thy servants, from off the wall, and there died some of the servants of the king, —moreover also, thy servant, Uriah the Hittite, died.
25 Aa le hoe t’i Davide amy nihitrikey: Ty hoe ty ho enta’o am’ Ioabe: Ehe te tsy hampioremeñe azo o raha zao fa tsy mete tsy mampibotseke mb’eo mb’eo avao i fibaray; ampaozaro ty fihotakotaha’o amy rovay vaho rotsaho. Osiho re.
Then said David unto the messenger—Thus, shalt thou say unto Joab, —Let not this thing be grievous in thine eyes, for, now this one, and then that one, doth the sword devour, —make hot thy battle against the city, and overthrow it; Thus embolden thou him.
26 Ie jinanji’ i tañanjomba’ i Oriày te vilasy t’i Orià vali’e le nandala’e.
And, when Uriah’s wife heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she made loud lamentation over her lord.
27 Ie añe i fandalà’ey le nahitri’ i Davide ty holia’e añ’anjomba’e ao naho nengae’e ho vali’e vaho nisamak’ ana-dahy ho aze. Fe tsy ninò’ Iehovà i nanoe’ i Davidey.
And, when the time of mourning had passed, David sent and received her into his house, and she became his wife, and bare him a son. But the thing which David had done was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh.
