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.
At the return of the year, at the time when kings go out, David sent Joab and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at 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.
At evening, David arose from his bed and walked on the roof of the king’s house. From the roof, he saw a woman bathing, and the woman was very beautiful to look at.
3 Nampañitrike hañontane i rakembay t’i Davide. Le hoe re: Tsy ie hao i Batesevae, ana’ i Eliame, tañanjomba’ i Orià nte-Kite?
David sent and enquired after the woman. One said, “Isn’t this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, Uriah the Hittite’s wife?”
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.
David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in to him, and he lay with her (for she was purified from her uncleanness); and she returned to her house.
5 Niareñe i rakembay vaho nirahe’e amy Davide ty hoe: Mivesatse iraho.
The woman conceived; and she 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.
David sent to Joab, “Send me Uriah the Hittite.” Joab sent Uriah to 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.
When Uriah had come to him, David asked him how Joab did, and how the people fared, 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.
David said to Uriah, “Go down to your house and wash your feet.” Uriah departed out of the king’s house, and a gift from the king was sent after him.
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 door of the king’s house with all the servants of his lord, and didn’t go down to his 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?
When they had told David, saying, “Uriah didn’t go down to his house,” David said to Uriah, “Haven’t you come from a journey? Why didn’t you go down to your 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.
Uriah said to David, “The ark, Israel, and Judah, are staying in tents; and my lord Joab and the servants of my lord are encamped in the open field. Shall I then go into my house to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? As you live, and as your soul lives, I will 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
David said to Uriah, “Stay here today also, and tomorrow I will let you depart.” So Uriah stayed in Jerusalem that day and the next day.
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.
When David had called him, he ate and drank before him; and he made him drunk. At evening, he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but didn’t go down to his house.
14 Aa ie maraiñe, nanokitse taratasy am’ Ioabe t’i Davide, vaho nampisangitrifa’e am-pità’ i Orià.
In the morning, David wrote a letter to 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.
He wrote in the letter, saying, “Send Uriah to the forefront of the hottest battle, and retreat from him, that he may be struck and die.”
16 Ie amy zao, naho nisary i aliy t’Ioabe le nafanto’e hitoetse amo fanalolahio t’i Orià.
When Joab kept watch on the city, he assigned Uriah to the place where he knew that valiant men 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.
The men of the city went out and fought with Joab. Some of the people fell, even of David’s servants; and Uriah the Hittite died also.
18 Le nañirake t’Ioabe naho nitalily i aliy amy Davide;
Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war;
19 le hoe ty nafanto’e amy nampihitrifa’ey: Ie fa nitalilie’o amy mpanjakay i aly iabiy,
and he commanded the messenger, saying, “When you have finished telling all the things concerning the war to 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?
it shall be that, if the king’s wrath arise, and he asks you, ‘Why did you go so near to the city to fight? Didn’t you know that they would shoot from 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 struck Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? Didn’t a woman cast an upper millstone on him from the wall, so that he died at Thebez? Why did you go so near the wall?’ then you shall say, ‘Your servant Uriah the Hittite is also dead.’”
22 Aa le nimb’eo i nafantokey vaho natalili’e amy Davide iaby i nampañitrife’ Ioabe azey.
So the messenger went, and came and showed David all that Joab had sent him for.
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.
The messenger said to David, “The men prevailed against us, and came out to us into the field; and we were on them even to the entrance 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.
The shooters shot at your servants from off the wall; and some of the king’s servants are dead, and your servant Uriah the Hittite is also dead.”
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 David said to the messenger, “Tell Joab, ‘Don’t let this thing displease you, for the sword devours one as well as another. Make your battle stronger against the city, and overthrow it.’ Encourage him.”
26 Ie jinanji’ i tañanjomba’ i Oriày te vilasy t’i Orià vali’e le nandala’e.
When Uriah’s wife heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she mourned for her husband.
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.
When the mourning was past, David sent and took her home to his house, and she became his wife and bore him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the LORD.
