2 Samuel 11
1 Osutɔberɛ a ɛdi soɔ no mu, ɛberɛ a ɛsɛ sɛ ahemfo kɔ ɔsa no, Dawid somaa Yoab ne Israel akodɔm nyinaa sɛ wɔnkɔsɛe Amonfoɔ. Wɔkɔtuaa kuropɔn Raba, na Dawid deɛ, ɔkaa Yerusalem.
Forsothe it was doon, whanne the yeer turnede ayen in that tyme wherynne kyngis ben wont to go forth to batels, Dauid sente Joab, and with hym hise seruauntis, and al Israel; and thei distrieden the sones of Amon, and bisegiden Rabath; forsothe Dauid dwellide in Jerusalem.
2 Ɛda bi anwummerɛ a Dawid ayi nʼani so kakra no, ɔsɔre firii ne mpa so nante faa nʼahemfie no atifi. Ɔgyina hɔ no, ɔhunuu ɔbaa bi sɛ ɔredware. Na ɔbaa no ho yɛ fɛ yie,
While these thingis weren doon, it befelde, that Dauid roos in a dai fro his bed after mydday, and walkide in the soler of the kyngis hows; and he siy a womman waischynge hir silf euen ayens on hir soler; sotheli the womman was ful fair.
3 na Dawid somaa obi sɛ ɔnkɔbisa ne ho nsɛm. Ɔbarima no bɛkaa sɛ, “Ɛyɛ Eliam babaa Batseba, a ɔyɛ Hetini Uria yere.”
Therfor the kyng sente, and enqueride, what womman it was; and it was teld to hym, that sche was Bersabee, the douytir of Heliam, and was the wijf of Vrye Ethei.
4 Na Dawid tuu abɔfoɔ sɛ wɔnkɔfrɛ no mmrɛ no. Ɔbaa Dawid nkyɛn. Dawid ne no daeɛ. (Ɔdwiraa ne ho firii ne nsabuo mu no, na ɛnkyɛreɛ.) Afei, ɔsane kɔɔ efie.
Therfor bi messangeris sent Dauid took hir; and whanne sche entride to hym, he slepte with hir, and anoon sche was halewid fro hir vnclenesse.
5 Ɛberɛ a Batseba hunuu sɛ wanyinsɛn no, ɔsoma maa wɔkɔka kyerɛɛ Dawid.
And sche turnede ayen in to hir hows, with child conseyued; and sche sente, and telde to Dauid, and seide, Y haue conseyued.
6 Enti, Dawid soma kɔɔ Yoab nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Fa Hetini Uria brɛ me.”
Forsothe Dauid sente to Joab, and seide, Sende thou Vrye Ethei to me; and Joab sente Vrye to Dauid.
7 Ɛberɛ a Uria duruu Dawid nkyɛn no, ɔbisaa gyinaberɛ a Yoab ne akodɔm no wɔ mu ne sɛdeɛ ɔko no rekɔ so.
And Vrie cam to Dauid; and Dauid axide, hou riytfuli Joab dide and the puple, and hou the batel was mynystrid.
8 Na ɔka kyerɛɛ Uria sɛ, “Kɔ efie na kɔhome.” Na mpo, Uria firii ahemfie hɔ no, Dawid soma maa wɔde akyɛdeɛ bi kɔmaa no.
And Dauid seide to Vrye, Go in to thin hows, and waische thi feet. Vrye yede out fro the hows of the kyng, and the kyngis mete suede hym.
9 Nanso, Uria ankɔ fie. Ɔne ɔhene asomfoɔ no bi tenaa ahemfie ɛpono no ano.
Sotheli Vrye slepte bifor the yate of the kyngis hows with othere seruauntis of his lord, and yede not doun to his hows.
10 Ɛberɛ a Dawid tee deɛ Uria ayɛ no, ɔfrɛɛ no bisaa no sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na ɛha wo? Wofirii fie akyɛre na adɛn na woankɔ hɔ ɛnnora anadwo?”
And it was teld to Dauid of men, seiynge, Vrye `yede not to his hows. And Dauid seide to Vrye, Whether thou camest not fro the weye? whi yedist thou not doun in to thin hows?
11 Uria buaa sɛ, “Apam Adaka no ne Israel akodɔm ne Yuda tete ntomadan mu, ɛnna Yoab nso ne ne mpanimfoɔ abɔ atenaeɛ wɔ wiram baabi petee mu. Na ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na matumi akɔ efie akɔnom nsã, adidi na me ne me yere akɔda? Meka ntam sɛ merenyɛ yei na madi ho fɔ.”
And Vrie seide to Dauid, The arke of God, Israel and Juda dwellen in tentis, and my lord Joab, and the seruauntis of my lord dwellen on the face of erthe, and schal Y go in to myn hows, to ete and drynke, and slepe with my wijf? Bi thin helthe, and bi the helthe of thi soule, Y schal not do this thing.
12 Na Dawid ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ɛyɛ, tena ha anadwo yi, na ɔkyena wobɛkɔ akodɔm no mu.” Enti, Uria tenaa Yerusalem ɛda no ne nʼadekyeeɛ.
Therfor Dauid seide to Vrye, Dwelle thou here also to dai, and to morewe Y schal delyuere thee. Vrie dwellide in Jerusalem in that day and the tothir.
13 Na Dawid frɛɛ no anadwoduane apontoɔ, na ɔmaa no nsã ma ɔboroeɛ. Na ɛno mpo, Uria ankɔ efie ankɔhunu ne yere. Ɔdaa ahemfie no ɛkwan ano bio.
And Dauid clepide hym, that he schulde ete and drynke bifor hym, and Dauid made drunkun Vrye; and he yede out in the euentid, and slepte in his bed with the seruauntes of his lord; and yede not doun in to his hows.
14 Adeɛ kyee anɔpa no, Dawid twerɛɛ krataa maa Uria sɛ ɔmfa nkɔma Yoab.
Therfor the morewtid was maad, and Dauid wroot epistle to Joab, and sente bi the hond of Vrye,
15 Krataa no mu nsɛm kyerɛɛ Yoab sɛ, “Ma Uria nkɔ akono baabi a ɔko no ano yɛ den pa ara. Wo deɛ, sane wʼakyi, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, wɔbɛkum no.”
and wroot in the pistle, Sette ye Vrye euene ayens the batel, where the batel is strongeste, `that is, where the aduersaries ben stronge, and forsake ye hym, that he be smitun and perische.
16 Enti, Yoab maa Uria kɔgyinaa baabi a ɛbɛn kuro no fasuo, a ɛhɔ na ɔnim sɛ atamfoɔ no mmarima a wɔyɛ den no reko.
Therfor whanne Joab bisegide the citee, he settide Vrie in the place where he wiste that strongeste men weren.
17 Ɛhɔ na wɔkumm Hetini Uria ne Israel asraafoɔ no bebree.
And men yeden out of the citee, and fouyten ayens Joab, and thei killiden of the puple of seruauntis of Dauid, and also Vrye Ethei was deed.
18 Na Yoab de ɔsa mu amaneɛ kɔbɔɔ Dawid.
Therfor Joab sente, and telde alle the wordis of the batel;
19 Ɔka kyerɛɛ nʼabɔfoɔ no sɛ, “Monka ɔsa mu nsɛm no nyinaa nkyerɛ ɔhene.
and he comaundyde to the messanger, and seide, Whanne thou hast fillid alle wordis of the batel to the kyng,
20 Nanso, ebia ne bo bɛfu, ama wabisa sɛ, ‘Adɛn enti na akodɔm no kɔbɛn kuro no pɛɛ saa? Na wɔnnim sɛ wɔbɛto agyan afiri afasuo no mu?
if thou seest, that he is wrooth, and seith, Whi neiyiden ye to the wal to fiyte? whether ye wisten not, that many dartis ben sent `fro aboue fro the wal?
21 Ɔbaabasia anto ayuyammoɔ ammɔ Gideon babarima Abimelek wɔ Tebes ankum no?’ Afei, monka nkyerɛ no sɛ, wɔakum Hetini Uria nso.”
who smoot Abymelech, sone of Gerobaal? whether not a womman sente on hym a gobet of a mylnestoon fro the wal, and killide hym in Thebes? whi neiyiden ye bisidis the wal? thou schalt seie, Also thi seruaunt, Vrye Ethei, diede.
22 Enti, abɔfoɔ no kɔɔ Yerusalem kɔbɔɔ ɔsa no mu amaneɛ kyerɛɛ Dawid sɛdeɛ Yoab somaa no sɛ ɔnkɔka.
Therfor the messanger yede, and telde to Dauid alle thingis whiche Joab hadde comaundid to hym.
23 Abɔfoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ Dawid sɛ, “Mmarima no bu faa yɛn so, na wɔtiaa yɛn petee mu deɛ, nanso yɛpiaa wɔn kɔɔ kuro no ɛpono ano.
And the messanger seide to Dauid, `Men hadden the maistri ayens us, and thei yeden out to vs in to the feeld; sotheli bi `fersnesse maad we pursueden hem `til to the yate of the citee.
24 Ɛhɔ na agyantofoɔ too wʼasomfoɔ firii ɔfasuo ho, maa ɔhene mmarima no bi wuwuiɛ. Na wo ɔsomfoɔ Hetini Uria nso awu.”
And archeris senten dartis to thi seruauntis fro the wal aboue, and summe of the `kyngis seruauntis ben deed; forsothe also thi seruaunt, Vrye Ethei, is deed.
25 Dawid ka kyerɛɛ abɔfoɔ no sɛ, “Ɛyɛ, Monka nkyerɛ Yoab sɛ ɔmmma nʼaba mu mmu, na ɔko mu deɛ obiara tumi wu. Monyere mo ho nko ɔkoden na monni kuropɔn no so nkonim.”
And Dauid seide to the messanger, Thou schalt seie these thingis to Joab, This thing breke not thee; for the bifallyng of batel is dyuerse, and swerd wastith now this man, now that man; coumforte thi fiyteris ayens the citee, that thou distrye it, and excite thou hem.
26 Ɛberɛ a Batseba tee sɛ ne kunu awuo no, ɔsuu no.
Forsothe the wijf of Vrye herde, that Vrye hir hosebond was deed, and sche biweilide hym.
27 Na osu no akyi no, Dawid soma ma wɔkɔfaa no baa ne fie. Ɔbɛyɛɛ ne yere, na ɔwoo ɔbabarima. Na deɛ Dawid yɛeɛ no ansɔ Awurade ani.
And whanne the morenyng was passid, Dauid sente, and brouyte hir in to his hows; and sche was maad wijf to hym, and sche childide a sone to hym. And this word which Dauid hadde do displeside bifor the Lord.
