2 Saamuʼeel 11
1 Birraa keessa yeroo mootonni waraanaaf baʼanitti, Daawit tajaajiltoota isaatii fi loltoota Israaʼel hunda wajjin Yooʼaabin erge. Isaanis Amoonota barbadeessanii magaalaa Rabbaa jedhamtu marsan. Daawit garuu Yerusaalemitti hafe.
And it came to pass, after the year was expired, at the time when kings go forth [to battle], that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried still at Jerusalem.
2 Gaaf tokko galgala Daawit siree isaa irraa kaʼee bantii masaraa mootummaa irra asii fi achi deddeebiʼaa ture. Innis bantii gubbaa dhaabatee dubartii dhagna ishee dhiqattu tokko arge. Dubartiin sun baayʼee bareedduu turte;
And it came to pass in an eveningtide, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king’s house: and from the roof he saw a woman washing herself; and the woman [was] very beautiful to look upon.
3 Daawitis waaʼee ishee beekuuf nama itti erge. Namichi sunis, “Isheen Batisheebaa intala Eliʼaam, niitii Uuriyaa namicha gosa Heet sanaatii mitii?” jedhe.
And David sent and enquired after the woman. And [one] said, [Is] not this Bath-sheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?
4 Daawitis nama itti ergee ishee fichisiise. Isheenis gara isaa dhufte; innis ishee wajjin ciise. Isheen xuraaʼummaa ishee irraa qulqullooftee turte. Ergasii gara mana isheetti deebite.
And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in unto him, and he lay with her; for she was purified from her uncleanness: and she returned unto her house.
5 Dubartiin sun ulfooftee, “Ani ulfaaʼeera” jettee Daawititti ergaa ergite.
And the woman conceived, and sent and told David, and said, I [am] with child.
6 Kanaafuu Daawit, “Uuriyaa namicha gosa Heet sana naa ergi” jedhee Yooʼaabitti dhaamsa erge. Yooʼaabis gara Daawititti isa erge.
And David sent to Joab, [saying], Send me Uriah the Hittite. And Joab sent Uriah to David.
7 Daawitis yommuu Uuriyaan gara isaa dhufetti waaʼee Yooʼaab, waaʼee loltootaatii fi haala waraanni keessa jiru isa gaafate.
And when Uriah was come unto him, David demanded [of him] how Joab did, and how the people did, and how the war prospered.
8 Ergasii immoo Daawit Uuriyaan, “Gara mana keetiitti gad buʼiitii miilla kee dhiqadhu” jedhe. Kanaafuu Uuriyaan masaraa mootiitii baʼee deeme; kennaan mootichaas isa faana ergame.
And David said to Uriah, Go down to thy house, and wash thy feet. And Uriah departed out of the king’s house, and there followed him a mess [of meat] from the king.
9 Uuriyaan garuu tajaajiltoota gooftaa isaa hunda wajjin karra masaraa mootii dura ciise malee gara mana ofii isaatti gad hin buune.
But Uriah slept at the door of the king’s house with all the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.
10 Daawitis yommuu akka Uuriyaan gara mana isaa hin deemin itti himametti, “Ati reefuu karaadhaa dhufte mitii? Maaliif gara mana keetii hin deemne?” jedhee isa gaafate.
And when they had told David, saying, Uriah went not down unto his house, David said unto Uriah, Camest thou not from [thy] journey? why [then] didst thou not go down unto thine house?
11 Uuriyaan immoo Daawitiin, “Taabonnii fi Israaʼel, Yihuudaanis dunkaana keessa jiru; gooftaan koo Yooʼaabii fi namoonni gooftaa koo dirree irra bulu. Egaa ani akkamitti nyaachuu fi dhuguuf, niitii koo wajjinis rafuuf jedhee gara mana koo deema? Duʼa kee ti; ani waan akkasii hin godhu!”
And Uriah said unto David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in tents; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open fields; shall I then go into mine house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? [as] thou livest, and [as] thy soul liveth, I will not do this thing.
12 Daawit, “Ati harʼas as buliitii ani bor sin geggeessaa” jedheen. Kanaafuu Uuriyaan gaafa sanaa fi guyyaa itti aanu Yerusaalem keessa ture.
And David said to Uriah, Tarry here to day also, and to morrow I will let thee depart. So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day, and the morrow.
13 Daawitis isa affeere; innis fuula isaa duratti nyaatee dhuge; Daawitis isa macheesse. Uuriyaan garuu halkan sana afata isaa irra tajaajiltoota gooftaa isaa gidduu ciisuuf gad baʼe malee gara mana ofii isaa hin deemne.
And when David had called him, he did eat and drink before him; and he made him drunk: and at even he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but went not down to his house.
14 Daawitis lafti bariinaan xalayaa barreessee harkuma Uuriyaatiin Yooʼaabitti erge.
And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent [it] by the hand of Uriah.
15 Xalayicha keessattis, “Iddoo waraanni itti cimetti Uuriyaa ramadi. Akka inni achitti dhaʼamee duʼuufis isa dhiisaa duubatti deebiʼaa” jedhee barreesse.
And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set ye Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, that he may be smitten, and die.
16 Kanaafuu Yooʼaab utuu magaalattii marsaa jiruu iddoo akka loltoonni ciccimoon jiran beeketti Uuriyaa ramade.
And it came to pass, when Joab observed the city, that he assigned Uriah unto a place where he knew that valiant men [were].
17 Yommuu namoonni magaalaa sanaa itti gad baʼanii Yooʼaabin lolanitti, loltoota Daawit keessaa namoonni tokko tokko duʼan; Uuriyaan namichi gosa Heet sunis ni ajjeefame.
And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab: and there fell [some] of the people of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hittite died also.
18 Yooʼaabis guutummaa oduu waaʼee lola sanaa Daawitiif erge.
Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war;
19 Akkana jedhees ergamaa sana ajaje; “Yommuu ati waaʼee waraana kanaa mootichatti himtee fixxutti,
And charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast made an end of telling the matters of the war unto the king,
20 aariin mootichaa ni bobaʼa; innis akkana jedhee si gaafachuu dandaʼa; ‘Isin maaliif loluuf akkas magaalaa sanatti dhiʼaattan? Isin akka isaan dallaa irraa xiyya isinitti darbatan hin beeknee?
And if so be that the king’s wrath arise, and he say unto thee, Wherefore approached ye so nigh unto the city when ye did fight? knew ye not that they would shoot from the wall?
21 Eenyutu Abiimelek ilma Yirubesheet sana ajjeese? Dubartiin tokko dallaa irraa majii dhagaa daakuu itti gad dhiiftee Tebeesitti isa hin ajjeefnee? Isin maaliif akkas dallaa sanatti dhiʼaattan?’ Yoo inni waan kana si gaafate, ‘Tajaajilaan kee Uuriyaan namichi gosa Heet sunis duʼeera’ jedhii itti himi.”
Who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from the wall, that he died in Thebez? why went ye nigh the wall? then say thou, Thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.
22 Ergamaan sunis kaʼee deemee yommuu achi gaʼetti waan Yooʼaab akka inni itti himu isa ajaje hunda Daawititti hime.
So the messenger went, and came and shewed David all that Joab had sent him for.
23 Ergamaan sun Daawitiin akkana jedhe; “Namoonni nutti jabaatanii dirreetti gad nutti baʼan; nus ariinee gara karra magaalattiitti isaan deebifne.
And the messenger said unto David, Surely the men prevailed against us, and came out unto us into the field, and we were upon them even unto the entering of the gate.
24 Ergasiis warri xiyya darbatan dallaa irraa tajaajiltoota keetti darbatan; namoonni mootii tokko tokkos ni duʼan. Tajaajilaan kee Uuriyaan namichi Heet sunis ni duʼe.”
And the shooters shot from off the wall upon thy servants; and [some] of the king’s servants be dead, and thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.
25 Daawitis ergamaa sanaan, “Egaa akkana jedhii Yooʼaabitti himi; ‘Wanni kun abdii si hin kutachiisin; goraadeen yeroo tokko isa tokko, yeroo kaan immoo kan biraa nyaata. Cimsii magaalattii dhaʼiitii balleessi.’ Waan kanas Yooʼaabin jajjabeessuuf jedhi” jedhe.
Then David said unto the messenger, Thus shalt thou say unto Joab, Let not this thing displease thee, for the sword devoureth one as well as another: make thy battle more strong against the city, and overthrow it: and encourage thou him.
26 Niitiin Uuriyaa yommuu akka dhirsi ishee duʼe dhageessetti ni boosseef.
And when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she mourned for her husband.
27 Erga yeroon booʼichaa darbee booddee Daawit mana ofii isaatti ishee fudhate; isheenis niitii isaa taatee ilma deesseef. Garuu wanni Daawit hojjete sun Waaqayyo hin gammachiisne.
And when the mourning was past, David sent and fetched her to his house, and she became his wife, and bare him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the LORD.
