2 Samuel 11

1 Pripetilo se je, potem ko je minilo leto, ob času, ko gredo kralji na bitko, da je David poslal Joába in z njim svoje služabnike in ves Izrael in uničili so Amónove otroke in oblegali Rabo. Toda David se je še vedno zadrževal v Jeruzalemu.

And it came to pass, at the return of the year, at the time when kings go out to battle, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel. And they destroyed the sons of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David remained at Jerusalem.

2 Ob večernem času se je pripetilo, da se je David dvignil iz svoje postelje in hodil po strehi kraljeve hiše in s strehe je videl žensko, ki se je umivala in ženska je bila na pogled zelo krasna.

And it came to pass at evening, 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 bathing, and the woman was very beautiful to look upon.

3 David je poslal in poizvedel za žensko. Nekdo je rekel: » Mar ni to Batšéba, Eliámova hči, žena Hetejca Urijája?«

And David sent and inquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?

4 David je poslal poslance in jo vzel. Vstopila je k njemu in ležal je z njo, kajti očiščena je bila od svoje nečistosti in vrnila se je v svojo hišo.

And 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 Ženska je spočela in poslala in povedala Davidu ter rekla: »Jaz sem z otrokom.«

And the woman conceived. And she sent and told David, and said, I am with child.

6 David je poslal k Joábu, rekoč: »Pošlji mi Hetejca Urijája.« In Joáb je poslal Urijája k Davidu.

And David sent to Joab, saying, Send me Uriah the Hittite. And Joab sent Uriah to David.

7 Ko je Urijá prišel k njemu, je David od njega zahteval, kako je šlo Joábu in kako je šlo ljudstvu in kako je uspevala vojna.

And when Uriah came to him, David asked of him how Joab did, and how the people fared, and how the war prospered.

8 David je Urijáju rekel: »Pojdi dol k svoji hiši in si umij stopala.« Urijá je odšel iz kraljeve hiše in sledilo mu je darilo kraljeve jedi.

And David said to Uriah, Go down to thy house, and wash thy feet. And Uriah departed out of the king's house, and a gift from the king followed him.

9 Toda Urijá je spal pri vratih kraljeve hiše z vsemi služabniki svojega gospoda in ni odšel dol k svoji hiši.

But Uriah slept at the door of the king's house with all the servants of his lord, and did not go down to his house.

10 Ko so Davidu povedali, rekoč: »Urijá ni odšel dol k svoji hiši, « je David rekel Urijáju: »Ali ne prihajaš iz svojega potovanja? Zakaj potem nisi šel dol k svoji hiši?«

And when they had told David, saying, Uriah did not go down to his house, David said to Uriah, Have thou not come from a journey? Why did thou not go down to thy house?

11 Urijá je Davidu rekel: »Skrinja, Izrael in Juda prebivajo v šotorih in moj gospod Joáb in služabniki mojega gospoda so utaborjeni na odprtih poljih; ali bom jaz potem šel v svojo hišo, da jem, da pijem in da ležim s svojo ženo? Kakor ti živiš in kakor živi tvoja duša, ne bom storil te stvari.«

And Uriah said to David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in booths, 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 thou live, and as thy soul lives, I will not do this thing.

12 In David je rekel Urijáju: »Ostani tukaj tudi danes, jutri pa ti bom pustil oditi.« Tako je Urijá ostal v Jeruzalemu ta dan in naslednji dan.

And David said to Uriah, Remain here today also, and tomorrow I will let thee depart. So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day, and the morrow.

13 Ko ga je David poklical, je pred njim jedel in pil in ga je opijanil in zvečer je odšel ven, da bi s služabniki svojega gospoda legel na svojo posteljo, toda ni šel dol k svoji hiši.

And when David had called him, he ate and drank before him, and he made him drunk. And at evening he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but did not go down to his house.

14 Zjutraj pa se je zgodilo, da je David napisal pismo Joábu in to poslal po Urijájevi roki.

And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah.

15 V pismu je napisal, rekoč: »Postavite Urijája na sprednji del najbolj vroče bitke in se umaknite od njega, da bo lahko udarjen in umre.«

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 Pripetilo se je, ko je Joáb opazoval mesto, da je Urijája določil na kraj, kjer je vedel, da so bili hrabri možje.

And it came to pass, when Joab kept watch upon the city, that he assigned Uriah to the place where he knew that valiant men were.

17 Možje iz mesta so odšli ven in se borili z Joábom in tam so padli nekateri izmed ljudstva, izmed Davidovih služabnikov in tudi Hetejec Urijá je umrl.

And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab. And there fell some of the people, even of the servants of David, and Uriah the Hittite died also.

18 Potem je Joáb poslal in Davidu povedal vse stvari glede vojne

Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war.

19 in naročil poslancu, rekoč: »Ko boš končal s sporočanjem stvari kralju glede vojne

And he charged the messenger, saying, When thou have made an end of telling all the things concerning the war to the king,

20 in če bo tako, da se bo vzdignil kraljevi bes in ti reče: ›Zakaj ste se približali tako blizu mesta, ko ste se bojevali? Mar niste vedeli, da bodo streljali iz obzidja?

it shall be that, if the king's wrath arise, and he says to thee, Why did ye go so near to the city to fight? Did ye not know that they would shoot from the wall?

21 Kdo je udaril Jerubéšetovega sina Abiméleha? Ali ni ženska iz obzidja vrgla nanj kos mlinskega kamna, da je umrl v Tebécu? Zakaj ste se približali obzidju?‹ Potem reci: ›Tudi tvoj služabnik Hetejec Urijá je mrtev.‹«

Who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? Did not a woman cast an upper millstone upon him from the wall so that he died at Thebez? Why did ye go so near the wall? Then thou shall say, Thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.

22 Tako je poslanec odšel in prišel in pokazal Davidu vse, za kar ga je Joáb poslal.

So the messenger went, and came and told David all that Joab had sent him.

23 Poslanec je Davidu rekel: »Ljudje so zagotovo prevladali zoper nas in prišli ven, k nam na polje in mi smo bili nad njimi celo do vhoda velikih vrat.

And the messenger said to David, The men prevailed against us, and came out to us into the field, and we were upon them even to the entrance of the gate.

24 In strelci so streljali iz obzidja na tvoje služabnike; in nekateri izmed kraljevih služabnikov so mrtvi in tudi tvoj služabnik Hetejec Urijá je mrtev.«

And the shooters shot at thy servants from off the wall. And some of the king's servants are dead, and thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.

25 Potem je David rekel poslancu: »Tako boš rekel Joábu: ›Ne dopusti, da te ta stvar razžali, kajti meč požre enega kakor drugega. Svojo bitko zoper mesto naredi močnejšo in ga premagaj. Ohrabri ga.‹«

Then David said to the messenger, Thus thou shall say to Joab, Let not this thing displease thee, for the sword devours one as well as another. Make thy battle stronger against the city, and overthrow it. And encourage thou him.

26 Ko je Urijájeva žena slišala, da je bil njen soprog Urijá mrtev, je žalovala za svojim soprogom.

And when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she made lamentation for her husband.

27 Ko je žalovanje minilo, je David poslal in jo privedel k svoji hiši in postala je njegova žena in mu rodila sina. Toda stvar, ki jo je David storil, je razžalila Gospoda.

And 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 Jehovah.
