2 Samuelova 11
1 A kad proðe godina, u vrijeme kad carevi idu na vojsku, posla David Joava i sluge svoje s njim, i svega Izrailja, te potirahu sinove Amonove, i opkoliše Ravu; a David osta u Jerusalimu.
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 I pred veèe usta David s postelje svoje, i hodajuæi po krovu carskoga dvora ugleda s krova ženu gdje se mije, a žena bijaše vrlo lijepa na oèi.
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 I David posla da propitaju za ženu i rekoše: nije li to Vitsaveja kæi Elijamova žena Urije Hetejina?
David sent and enquired after the woman. One said, “Isn’t this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, Uriah the Hittite’s wife?”
4 I David posla poslanike da je dovedu; i kad doðe k njemu, on leže s njom, a ona se bješe oèistila od neèistote svoje; poslije se vrati svojoj kuæi.
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 I zatrudnje žena, te posla i javi Davidu govoreæi: trudna sam.
The woman conceived; and she sent and told David, and said, “I am with child.”
6 Tada David posla k Joavu i poruèi: pošlji mi Uriju Hetejina. I posla Joav Uriju k Davidu.
David sent to Joab, “Send me Uriah the Hittite.” Joab sent Uriah to David.
7 I kad Urija doðe k njemu, zapita ga David kako je Joav i kako je narod i kako ide rat.
When Uriah had come to him, David asked him how Joab did, and how the people fared, and how the war prospered.
8 Potom reèe David Uriji: idi kuæi svojoj, i operi noge svoje. I Urija izide iz careva dvora, a za njim iznesoše jelo carsko.
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 Ali Urija leže na vratima dvora careva sa svijem slugama gospodara svojega, i ne otide kuæi svojoj.
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 I javiše Davidu govoreæi: Urija nije otišao kuæi svojoj. A David reèe Uriji: nijesi li došao s puta? zašto ne ideš kuæi svojoj?
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 A Urija reèe Davidu: kovèeg i Izrailj i Juda stoje po šatorima, i Joav gospodar moj i sluge gospodara mojega stoje u polju, pa kako bih ja ušao u kuæu svoju da jedem i pijem i spavam sa ženom svojom? Tako ti bio živ i tako bila živa duša tvoja, neæu to uèiniti.
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 Tada reèe David Uriji: ostani ovdje još danas, pa æu te sjutra otpustiti. Tako osta Urija u Jerusalimu onaj dan i sjutradan.
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 I pozva ga David da jede i pije s njim, te ga opije. A uveèe otide, te leže na postelju svoju sa slugama gospodara svojega, a kuæi svojoj ne otide.
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 A ujutru napisa David knjigu Joavu, i posla po Uriji.
In the morning, David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it by the hand of Uriah.
15 A u knjizi pisa i reèe: namjestite Uriju gdje je najžešæi boj, pa se uzmaknite od njega da bi ga ubili da pogine.
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 I Joav opkolivši grad namjesti Uriju na mjesto gdje je znao da su najhrabriji ljudi.
When Joab kept watch on the city, he assigned Uriah to the place where he knew that valiant men were.
17 I izidoše ljudi iz grada i pobiše se s Judom. I pogibe iz naroda nekoliko sluga Davidovijeh; pogibe i Urija Hetejin.
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 Tada Joav posla k Davidu, i javi mu sve što bi u boju.
Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war;
19 I zapovjedi glasniku govoreæi: kad pripovjediš caru sve što je bilo u boju,
and he commanded the messenger, saying, “When you have finished telling all the things concerning the war to the king,
20 Ako se razgnjevi car i reèe ti: zašto ste išli tako blizu grada da se bijete? zar nijeste znali kako se strijelja s grada?
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 Ko je ubio Avimeleha sina Jeruvesetova? nije li žena bacila na nj komad žrvnja sa zida, te pogibe u Tevesu? zašto ste išli blizu zida? tada reci: poginuo je i sluga tvoj Urija Hetejin.
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 I otide glasnik, i došavši javi Davidu sve za što ga je poslao Joav.
So the messenger went, and came and showed David all that Joab had sent him for.
23 I reèe glasnik Davidu: bijahu jaèi od nas, i izidoše u polje na nas, ali ih uzbismo do vrata gradskih.
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 A strijelci stadoše strijeljati na sluge tvoje sa zida, i pogibe nekoliko sluga carevijeh, tako i sluga tvoj Urija Hetejin pogibe.
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 Tada reèe David glasniku: ovako reci Joavu: ne budi zlovoljan za to; jer maè proždire sad ovoga sad onoga; udri još jaèe na grad i raskopaj ga. Tako ga ohrabri.
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 A žena Urijina èuvši da je poginuo muž njezin Urija, plaka za mužem svojim.
When Uriah’s wife heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she mourned for her husband.
27 A kad proðe žalost, posla David i uze je u kuæu svoju, i ona mu posta žena, i rodi mu sina. Ali ne bješe po volji Gospodu što uèini David.
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.
