دوم سموئیل 11
| بهار سال بعد، داوود لشکر اسرائیل را به فرماندهی یوآب به جنگ عمونی‌ها فرستاد. (پادشاهان، طبق معمول در فصل بهار به دشمنان حمله‌ور می‌شدند.) آنها عمونی‌ها را شکست داده، شهر ربه را محاصره کردند. اما داوود در اورشلیم ماند. | 1 |
Now in the spring, at the time when kings go out to war, David sent Joab and his servants and all Israel with him; and they made waste the land of the children of Ammon, and took up their position before Rabbah, shutting it in. But David was still at Jerusalem.
| یک روز هنگام عصر داوود از خواب برخاست و برای هواخوری به پشت بام کاخ سلطنتی رفت. وقتی در آنجا قدم می‌زد چشمش به زنی زیبا افتاد که مشغول حمام کردن بود. | 2 |
Now one evening, David got up from his bed, and while he was walking on the roof of the king's house, he saw from there a woman bathing; and the woman was very beautiful.
| داوود یک نفر را فرستاد تا بپرسد آن زن کیست. معلوم شد اسمش بَتشِبَع، دختر الیعام و زن اوریای حیتی است. | 3 |
And David sent to get knowledge who the woman was. And one said, Is this not Bath-sheba, the daughter of Eliam and wife of Uriah the Hittite?
| پس داوود چند نفر را فرستاد تا او را بیاورند. وقتی بَتشِبَع نزد او آمد، داوود با او همبستر شد. سپس بَتشِبَع خود را با آب طاهر ساخته، به خانه برگشت. | 4 |
And David sent and took her; and she came to him, and he took her to his bed: (for she had been made clean; ) then she went back to her house.
| وقتی بَتشِبَع فهمید که حامله است، پیغام فرستاد و این موضوع را به داوود خبر داد. | 5 |
And the woman became with child; and she sent word to David that she was with child.
| پس داوود برای یوآب این پیغام را فرستاد: «اوریای حیتی را نزد من بفرست.» | 6 |
And David sent to Joab saying, Send Uriah the Hittite to me. And Joab sent Uriah to David.
| وقتی اوریا آمد، داوود از او سلامتی یوآب و سربازان و اوضاع جنگ را پرسید. | 7 |
And when Uriah came to him, David put questions to him about how Joab and the people were, and how the war was going.
| سپس به او گفت: «حال به خانه برو و استراحت کن.» بعد از رفتن اوریا، داوود هدایایی نیز به خانهٔ او فرستاد. | 8 |
And David said to Uriah, Go down to your house and let your feet be washed. And Uriah went away from the king's house, and an offering from the king was sent after him.
| اما اوریا به خانهٔ خود نرفت و شب را کنار دروازهٔ کاخ، پیش محافظین پادشاه به سر برد. | 9 |
But Uriah took his rest at the door of the king's house, with all the servants of his lord, and did not go down to his house.
| وقتی داوود این را شنید، اوریا را احضار کرد و پرسید: «چه شده است؟ چرا پس از این همه دوری از خانه، دیشب به خانه نرفتی؟» | 10 |
And when word was given to David that Uriah had not gone down to his house, David said to Uriah, Have you not come from a journey? why did you not go down to your house?
| اوریا گفت: «صندوق عهد خداوند و سپاه اسرائیل و یهودا و فرماندهٔ من یوآب و افسرانش در صحرا اردو زده‌اند، آیا رواست که من به خانه بروم و با زنم به عیش و نوش بپردازم و با او بخوابم؟ به جان شما قسم که این کار را نخواهم کرد.» | 11 |
And Uriah said to David, Israel and Judah with the ark are living in tents, and my lord Joab and the other servants of my lord are sleeping in the open field; and am I to go to my house and take food and drink, and go to bed with my wife? By the living Lord, and by the life of your soul, I will not do such a thing.
| داوود گفت: «بسیار خوب، پس امشب هم اینجا بمان و فردا به میدان جنگ برگرد.» پس اوریا آن روز و روز بعد هم در اورشلیم ماند. | 12 |
And David said to Uriah, Be here today, and after that I will let you go. So Uriah was in Jerusalem that day and the day after.
| داوود او را برای صرف شام نگه داشت و او را مست کرد. با این حال، اوریا آن شب نیز به خانه‌اش نرفت بلکه دوباره کنار دروازهٔ کاخ خوابید. | 13 |
And when David sent for him, he took meat and drink with him, and David made him the worse for drink: and when evening came, he went to rest on his bed with the servants of his lord, but he did not go down to his house.
| بالاخره، صبح روز بعد، داوود نامه‌ای برای یوآب نوشت و آن را به‌وسیلۀ اوریا برایش فرستاد. | 14 |
Now in the morning, David gave Uriah a letter to take to Joab.
| در نامه به یوآب دستور داده بود که وقتی جنگ شدت می‌گیرد، اوریا را در خط مقدم جبهه قرار بدهد و او را تنها بگذارد تا کشته شود. | 15 |
And in the letter he said, Take care to put Uriah in the very front of the line, where the fighting is most violent, and go back from him, so that he may be overcome and put to death.
| پس وقتی یوآب در حال محاصرهٔ شهر دشمن بود، اوریا را به جایی فرستاد که می‌دانست سربازان قوی دشمن در آنجا می‌جنگند. | 16 |
So while Joab was watching the town, he put Uriah in the place where it was clear to him the best fighters were.
| مردان شهر با یوآب جنگیدند و در نتیجه اوریا و چند سرباز دیگر اسرائیلی کشته شدند. | 17 |
And the men of the town went out and had a fight with Joab: and a number of David's men came to their death in the fight, and with them Uriah the Hittite.
| وقتی یوآب گزارش جنگ را برای داوود می‌فرستاد، | 18 |
Then Joab sent David news of everything which had taken place in the war:
| به قاصد گفت: «وقتی این گزارش را به عرض پادشاه برسانی ممکن است او خشمگین شود و بپرسد: چرا سربازان تا این اندازه به شهر محاصره شده نزدیک شدند؟ مگر نمی‌دانستند از بالای دیوار به طرفشان تیراندازی خواهد شد؟ مگر فراموش کرده‌اند که ابیملک پسر جدعون در تاباص به دست زنی کشته شد که از بالای دیوار، یک سنگ آسیاب دستی روی سرش انداخت؟ آنگاه بگو: اوریا هم کشته شد.» | 19 |
And he gave orders to the man who took the news, saying, After you have given the king all the news about the war,
| 20 |
If the king is angry and says, Why did you go so near the town for the fight? was it not certain that their archers would be on the wall?
| 21 |
Who put Abimelech, the son of Jerubbaal, to death? did not a woman send a great stone down on him from the wall, putting him to death at Thebez? why did you go so near the wall? Then say to him, Your servant Uriah the Hittite is among the dead.
| پس، آن قاصد به اورشلیم رفت و به داوود گزارش داده، گفت: «افراد دشمن از ما قویتر بودند و از شهر خارج شده، به ما حمله کردند ولی ما آنها را تا دروازهٔ شهر عقب راندیم. | 22 |
So the man went, and came to David, and gave him all the news which Joab had sent him to give; then David was angry with Joab and said, Why did you go so near the town for the fight? was it not certain that their archers would be on the wall? who put Abimelech, the son of Jerubbaal, to death? did not a woman send a great stone down on him from the wall, putting him to death at Thebez? why did you go so near the wall?
| 23 |
And the man said to David, Truly the men got the better of us, and came out against us into the open country, but we sent them back to the very doors of the town.
| تیراندازان از روی دیوار ما را هدف قرار دادند. چند نفر از سربازان ما کشته شدند که اوریای حیتی هم در بین ایشان بود.» | 24 |
And the archers sent their arrows at your servants from the wall, and some of the king's servants are dead, and among them is your servant Uriah the Hittite.
| داوود گفت: «بسیار خوب، به یوآب بگو که ناراحت نباشد، چون شمشیر فرقی بین این و آن قائل نمی‌شود. این دفعه سختتر بجنگید و شهر را تسخیر کنید. در ضمن به او بگو از کارش راضی‌ام.» | 25 |
Then David said to the man, Go and say to Joab, Do not let this be a grief to you; for one man may come to his death by the sword like another: put up an even stronger fight against the town, and take it: and do you put heart into him.
| وقتی بَتشِبَع شنید شوهرش مرده است، عزادار شد. | 26 |
And when the wife of Uriah had news that her husband was dead, she gave herself up to weeping for him.
| بعد از تمام شدن ایام سوگواری، داوود بَتشِبَع را به کاخ سلطنتی آورد و او نیز یکی از زنان داوود شده، از او پسری به دنیا آورد. اما کاری که داوود کرده بود در نظر خداوند ناپسند آمد. | 27 |
And when the days of weeping were past, David sent for her, and took her into his house, and she became his wife and gave him a son. But the Lord was not pleased with the thing David had done.
