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.
Now it happened that, at the turn of the year, in the time when kings usually go forth to war, David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all of Israel, and they laid waste to the sons of Ammon, and they besieged Rabbah. But David remained in 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.
While these things were taking place, David happened to arise from his bed after midday, and he walked upon the terrace of the king’s house. And he saw, across from his terrace, a woman washing herself. And the woman was very beautiful.
3 David je poslal in poizvedel za žensko. Nekdo je rekel: » Mar ni to Batšéba, Eliámova hči, žena Hetejca Urijája?«
Therefore, the king sent and inquired who the woman might be. And it was reported to him that she was 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 so, David sent messengers, and he took her. And when she had entered to him, he slept with her. And presently, she was purified from her uncleanness.
5 Ženska je spočela in poslala in povedala Davidu ter rekla: »Jaz sem z otrokom.«
And she returned to her house, having conceived an unborn child. And sending, she informed David, and she said, “I have conceived.”
6 David je poslal k Joábu, rekoč: »Pošlji mi Hetejca Urijája.« In Joáb je poslal Urijája k Davidu.
Then 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 Uriah went to David. And David inquired whether Joab was doing well, and about the people, and how the war was being conducted.
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 into your house, and wash your feet.” And Uriah departed from the house of the king. And a meal from the king followed after 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 before the gate of the king’s house, with the other servants of his lord, and he did not go down to his own 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 it was reported to David by some, saying, “Uriah did not go into his house.” And David said to Uriah: “Did you not arrive from a journey? Why did you not go down to your 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 of God, and Israel and Judah, dwell in tents, and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, stay upon the face of the earth. And should I then go into my own house, so that I may eat and drink, and sleep with my wife? By your welfare and by the welfare of your soul, 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.
Therefore, David said to Uriah, “Even so, remain here today, and tomorrow I will send you away.” So Uriah remained in Jerusalem, on that day and the next.
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 David called him, so that he might eat and drink before him, and he made him inebriated. And departing in the evening, he slept on his bedding, with the servants of his lord, and he did not go down to his own house.
14 Zjutraj pa se je zgodilo, da je David napisal pismo Joábu in to poslal po Urijájevi roki.
Therefore, when morning arrived, David wrote a letter to Joab. And he 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.«
writing in the letter: “Place Uriah opposite the warfare, where the battle is the strongest, and then abandon him, so that, having been wounded, he may 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 so, when Joab was besieging the city, he positioned Uriah in the place where he knew the strongest men to be.
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, departing from the city, made war against Joab. And some of the people among the servants of David fell, and Uriah the Hittite also died.
18 Potem je Joáb poslal in Davidu povedal vse stvari glede vojne
And so, Joab sent and reported to David every word about the battle.
19 in naročil poslancu, rekoč: »Ko boš končal s sporočanjem stvari kralju glede vojne
And he instructed the messenger, saying: “When you have completed all the words about 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?
if you see him to be angry, and if he says: ‘Why did you draw near to the wall in order to fight? Are you ignorant that many darts are thrown from above 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 struck down Abimelech, the son of Jerubbaal? Did not a woman throw a fragment of a millstone upon him from the wall, and so kill him at Thebez? Why did you approach beside the wall?’ then you shall say: ‘Your servant Uriah, the Hittite, also lies dead.’”
22 Tako je poslanec odšel in prišel in pokazal Davidu vse, za kar ga je Joáb poslal.
Therefore, the messenger departed. And he went and described to David all that Joab had instructed 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 they went out to us in the field. Then we pursued them, making an assault, even to the gate of the city.
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 archers directed their arrows at your servants from the wall above. And some of the king’s servants died, and then also your servant Uriah the Hittite died.”
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.‹«
And David said to the messenger: “You shall say these things to Joab: ‘Do not let this matter dishearten you. For varied are the events of war. Now this one, and now that one, is consumed by the sword. Encourage your warriors against the city and exhort them, so that you may destroy it.’”
26 Ko je Urijájeva žena slišala, da je bil njen soprog Urijá mrtev, je žalovala za svojim soprogom.
Then the wife of Uriah heard that her husband Uriah had died, and she mourned for him.
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.
But when the lamentation was completed, David sent and brought her into his house, and she became his wife, and she bore a son to him. And this word, which David had done, was displeasing in the sight of the Lord.
