2 Samuel 11
1 Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí ọdún yípo, ní àkókò ìgbà tí àwọn ọba máa ń jáde ogun, Dafidi sì rán Joabu, àti àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, àti gbogbo Israẹli; wọ́n sì pa àwọn ọmọ Ammoni, wọ́n sì dó ti Rabba. Dafidi sì jókòó ní Jerusalẹmu.
In the spring, at the time of year when kings go out to war, David sent out Joab and his officers and the whole Israelite army on an attack. They massacred the Ammonites and besieged Rabbah. However, David remained behind in Jerusalem.
2 Ó sì ṣe, ní ìgbà àṣálẹ́ kan, Dafidi sì dìde ní ibùsùn rẹ̀, ó sì ń rìn lórí òrùlé ilé ọba, láti orí òrùlé náà ni ó sì rí obìnrin kan tí ó ń wẹ̀ ara rẹ̀; obìnrin náà sì ṣe arẹwà lójú láti wò.
Late one afternoon, David got up from taking a nap and was walking on the roof of the palace. From the roof he saw a woman bathing—a very beautiful woman.
3 Dafidi sì ránṣẹ́ ó sì béèrè obìnrin náà. Ẹnìkan sì wí pé, “Èyí ha kọ́ ni Batṣeba, ọmọbìnrin Eliamu, aya Uriah ará Hiti.”
David sent someone to find out about the woman. He was told, “It's Bathsheba, daughter of Eliam, and wife of Uriah the Hittite.”
4 Dafidi sì rán àwọn ìránṣẹ́, ó sì mú un; ó sì wọ inú ilé tọ̀ ọ́ lọ, ó sì bá a dàpọ̀, nígbà tí ó sì wẹ ara rẹ̀ mọ́ tán, ó sì padà lọ sí ilé rẹ̀.
David sent messengers to fetch her. When she came to him, he had sex with her. (Now she had just purified herself from having her period.) Afterwards she went back home.
5 Obìnrin náà sì lóyún, ó sì ránṣẹ́ ó sì sọ fún Dafidi, ó sì wí pé, “Èmi ti lóyún.”
Bathsheba became pregnant and sent a message to David to tell him, “I'm pregnant.”
6 Dafidi sì ránṣẹ́ sí Joabu, pé, “Rán Uriah ará Hiti sí mi.” Joabu sì rán Uriah sí Dafidi.
So David sent a message to Joab, telling him, “Send Uriah the Hittite to me.” Joab sent him to David.
7 Nígbà tí Uriah sì dé ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀, Dafidi sì bi í léèrè báwo ni Joabu ti ṣe àti àlàáfíà àwọn ènìyàn náà, àti bí ogun náà ti ń ṣe.
When Uriah came to see him, David asked him how Joab was doing, and how the army was doing, and how the war was going.
8 Dafidi sì wí fún Uriah pé, “Sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí ilé rẹ, kí o sì wẹ ẹsẹ̀ rẹ.” Uriah sì jáde kúrò ní ilé ọba, oúnjẹ láti ọ̀dọ̀ ọba wá sì tọ̀ ọ́ lẹ́yìn.
Then David told Uriah, “Go home now and have a rest.” Uriah left the palace, and the king sent him a gift after he'd gone.
9 Ṣùgbọ́n Uriah sun ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà ilé ọba lọ́dọ̀ gbogbo ìránṣẹ́ olúwa rẹ̀, kò sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí ilé rẹ̀.
But Uriah didn't go home. He slept in the guardroom at the palace entrance with all the king's guards.
10 Nígbà tí wọ́n sì sọ fún Dafidi pé, “Uriah kò sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí ilé rẹ̀,” Dafidi sì wí fún Uriah pé, “Ṣe bí ọ̀nà àjò ni ìwọ ti wá? Èéha ti ṣe tí ìwọ kò fi sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí ilé rẹ.”
David was told, “Uriah didn't go home,” so he asked Uriah, “Haven't you just got back from being away? Why didn't you go home?”
11 Uriah sì wí fún Dafidi pé, “Àpótí ẹ̀rí, àti Israẹli, àti Juda jókòó nínú àgọ́; àti Joabu olúwa mi, àti àwọn ìránṣẹ́ olúwa mi wà ní ibùdó ní pápá, èmi ó ha lọ sí ilé mi, láti jẹ àti láti mu, àti láti bá obìnrin mi sùn? Bí ìwọ bá wà láààyè, àti bí ẹ̀mí rẹ́ si ti ń bẹ láààyè, èmi kì yóò ṣe nǹkan yìí.”
Uriah answered, “The Ark and the armies of Israel and Judah are living in tents, and my master Joab and his men are camped out in the open. How can I go home and eat and drink and sleep with my wife? On my life I won't do such a thing!”
12 Dafidi sì wí fún Uriah pé, “Sì dúró níhìn-ín lónìí, lọ́la èmi ó sì jẹ́ kí ìwọ ó lọ.” Uriah sì dúró ní Jerusalẹmu ní ọjọ́ náà, àti ọjọ́ kejì.
David told him, “Stay here today, and tomorrow I'll send you back.” So Uriah stayed in Jerusalem that day, and the next.
13 Dafidi sì pè é, ó sì jẹ, ó sì mú nítorí rẹ̀; ó sì mu kí ọtí pa á; òun sì jáde ní alẹ́ lọ sí ibùsùn rẹ̀ lọ́dọ̀ àwọn ìránṣẹ́ olúwa rẹ̀, kò sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí ilé rẹ̀.
David invited Uriah to dinner. Uriah ate and drank with him, and David got Uriah drunk. But in the evening he went to sleep on his mat with the king's guards, and didn't go home.
14 Ó sì ṣe ní òwúrọ̀, Dafidi sì kọ̀wé sí Joabu, ó fi rán Uriah.
In the morning David wrote Joab a letter, and gave it to Uriah to take to him.
15 Ó sì kọ sínú ìwé pé, “Fi Uriah síwájú ibi tí ogun gbé le, kí ẹ sì fàsẹ́yìn, kí wọn lè kọlù ú, kí ó sì kú.”
In the letter, David told Joab, “Put Uriah right in the front where the fighting is worst, and then pull back behind him so that he'll be attacked and killed.”
16 Ó sì ṣe nígbà tí Joabu ṣe àkíyèsí ìlú náà, ó sì yan Uriah sí ibi kàn ní ibi tí òun mọ̀ pé àwọn alágbára ọkùnrin ń bẹ níbẹ̀.
As Joab besieged the town, he made Uriah take a place where he knew the strongest enemy men would be fighting.
17 Àwọn ọkùnrin ìlú náà sì jáde wá, wọ́n sì bá Joabu jà, díẹ̀ sì ṣubú nínú àwọn ènìyàn náà nínú àwọn ìránṣẹ́ Dafidi, Uriah ará Hiti sì kú pẹ̀lú.
When the town's defenders came out and attacked Joab, some of David's men were killed, including Uriah the Hittite.
18 Joabu sì ránṣẹ́ ó sì ro gbogbo nǹkan ogun náà fún Dafidi.
Joab sent David a full report about the battle.
19 Ó sì pàṣẹ fún ìránṣẹ́ náà pé, “Nígbà tí ìwọ bá sì parí àti máa ro gbogbo nǹkan ogun náà fún ọba.
He ordered the messenger, saying, “When you've finished telling the king all about the battle,
20 Bí ó bá ṣe pé, ìbínú ọba bá ru, ti òun sì wí fún ọ pé, ‘Èéṣe tí ẹ̀yin fi súnmọ́ ìlú náà láti bá wọn jà, ẹ̀yin kò mọ̀ pé wọn ó tafà láti orí odi wá.
if the king's gets angry and asks you, ‘Why did you get so near to the town in the attack? Didn't you know they would shoot arrows from the wall?
21 Ta ni ó pa Abimeleki ọmọ Jerubu-Beṣeti? Kì í ṣe obìnrin ni ó yí òkúta-ọlọ lù ú láti orí odi wá, tí ó sì kú ní Tebesi? Èéha ti rí tí ẹ̀yin fi súnmọ́ odi náà? Ìwọ yóò sì wí fún un pé, Uriah ìránṣẹ́ rẹ ará Hiti kú pẹ̀lú.’”
Who killed Abimelech, son of Jerub-Besheth? Wasn't it a woman who dropped a millstone on him from the wall, killing him there in Thebez? Why on earth did you get so close to the wall?’ Just tell him, ‘In addition, your officer Uriah the Hittite was killed.’”
22 Ìránṣẹ́ náà sì lọ, ó sì wá, ó sì jẹ́ gbogbo iṣẹ́ tí Joabu rán an fún Dafidi.
The messenger left, and when he arrived he told David everything Joab had directed him to say.
23 Ìránṣẹ́ náà sì wí fún Dafidi pé, “Nítòótọ́ àwọn ọkùnrin náà lágbára jù wá lọ, wọ́n sì jáde tọ̀ wá wá ní pápá, àwa sì tẹ̀lé wọn títí wọ́n fi dé ẹ̀yìn odi.
The messenger explained to David, “The defenders were stronger than us, and they came out at us in the open, but we forced them back to the entrance of the town gate.
24 Àwọn tafàtafà sì ta sí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ láti orí odi wá, díẹ̀ nínú àwọn ìránṣẹ́ ọba sì kú, ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ Uriah ará Hiti sì kú pẹ̀lú.”
Their archers shot at us from the wall, and killed some of the king's men. Your officer Uriah the Hittite was also killed.”
25 Dafidi sì wí fún ìránṣẹ́ náà pé, “Báyìí ni ìwọ yóò wí fún Joabu pé, ‘Má ṣe jẹ́ kí nǹkan yìí burú ní ojú rẹ, nítorí pé idà a máa pa lọ́tùn ún lósì, mú ìjà rẹ le sí ìlú náà, kí o sì bì í ṣubú.’ Kí ìwọ sì mú un lọ́kàn le.”
Then David said to the messenger, “Tell Joab this: ‘Don't be upset about this, for the sword destroys people at random. Press on with your attack against the town and conquer it.’ Encourage him by telling him this.”
26 Nígbà tí aya Uriah sì gbọ́ pé Uriah ọkọ rẹ̀ kú, ó sì ṣọ̀fọ̀ nítorí ọkọ rẹ̀.
When Uriah's wife heard that her husband was dead, she mourned for him.
27 Nígbà tí ìṣọ̀fọ̀ náà sì kọjá tan, Dafidi sì ránṣẹ́, o sì mú un wá sí ilé rẹ̀, ó sì di aya rẹ̀, ó sì bí ọmọkùnrin kan fún un, ṣùgbọ́n nǹkan náà tí Dafidi ṣe burú níwájú Olúwa.
Once the period of mourning was over, David sent for her to be brought to his palace, and she became his wife and bore him a son. But what David had done was evil in the Lord's sight.
