Luo Samuel 11
1 Yac tok ah, ke pacl sak uh mutawauk in srun tukun pacl in mihsrisr, ac tokosra uh wacna som nu ke mweun, David el supwalla Joab ac un mwet mweun lun Israel wi mwet kol lalos. Elos kutangla mwet Ammon, ac sruokya siti Rabbah. A David el mutana Jerusalem.
It came about in the springtime, at the time when kings normally go to war, that David sent out Joab, his servants, and all the army of Israel. They destroyed the army of Ammon and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed in Jerusalem.
2 Sie len ah ke tafun len tok, David el tukakek liki pacl in mongla lal, ac som nu ke sawalsrisr se lucng ke lohm sin tokosra. Ke el forfor we, el liye sie mutan yihyih in lohm sel, ac mutan sac arulana kato.
So it came about one evening that David got up from his bed and walked on the roof of his palace. From there he happened to see a woman who was bathing, and the woman was very beautiful to look at.
3 David el supwala mwet se in siyuk lah su mutan sac, na fwackyang nu sel, “El pa Bathsheba, acn natul Eliam ac mutan kial Uriah mwet Hit.”
So David sent and he asked people who would know about the woman. Someone said, “Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, and is she not the wife of Uriah the Hittite?”
4 Na David el supwala kutu mwet in usalu. Elos usalu nu yorol, na David el ona yorol. (Mutan sac tufahna aksafyela aknasnas lal ke malem.) Na el folokla nu lohm sel.
David sent messengers and took her; she came in to him, and he slept with her (for she had just purified herself from menstruation). Then she returned to her house.
5 Tok kutu el konauk lac el pitutu, ac sapla fahk nu sel David.
The woman conceived, and she sent and told David; she said, “I am pregnant.”
6 Na David el supwala kas nu sel Joab, “Supwalma Uriah mwet Hit nu yuruk.” Ouinge Joab el supwalla nu yorol David.
Then David sent to Joab saying, “Send me Uriah the Hittite.” So Joab sent Uriah to David.
7 Ke Uriah el sun acn we, David el siyuk sel lah Joab ac mwet mweun lal ah fuka, oayapa fuka mweun ah.
When Uriah arrived, David asked him how Joab was, how the army was doing, and how the war was going.
8 Na el fahk nu sel Uriah, “Fahla mongla lohm sum ah.” Na Uriah el som ac David el supwala pac sie mwe lung nu lohm sel ah.
David said to Uriah, “Go down to your house and wash your feet.” So Uriah left the king's palace, and the king sent a gift for Uriah after he left.
9 Tusruktu Uriah el tiana som nu lohm sel ah. El motullana ke mutunpot nu ke lohm sin tokosra yurin mwet topang lun tokosra.
But Uriah slept at the door of the king's palace with all the servants of his master, and he did not go down to his house.
10 Ke David el lohng lah Uriah el tiana som nu lohm sel ah, el siyuk sel, “Kom tufahna foloko tukun pacl loes kom wanginla, ac efu ku kom tia som nu lohm sum ah?”
When they told David, “Uriah did not go down to his house,” David said to Uriah, “Have you not come from a journey? Why did you not go down to your house?”
11 Na Uriah el fahk, “Mwet Israel ac Judah elos oasr ke nien mweun, ac Tuptup in Wuleang oasr pac yorolos. Joab, captain luk, ac mwet kol nukewa su welul elos muta ke iwen aktuktuk e yen mwesis. Na fuka tuh ngan som nu lohm sik ac mongo, nim, ac motul yurin mutan kiuk ah? Nga fulahk ke ma mutal nukewa lah nga tia ku in oru ouingan!”
Uriah answered David, “The ark, and Israel and Judah are staying in tents, and my master Joab and my master's servants are camped in an open field. How then can I go into my house to eat and to drink and to sleep with my wife? As sure as you are alive, I will not do this.”
12 Na David el fahk, “Muta inge misenge, ac lutu nga ac fah folokinkomla.” Ouinge Uriah el muta Jerusalem ke len sac ac ke len se tok ah.
So David said to Uriah, “Stay here today also, and tomorrow I will let you leave.” So Uriah stayed in Jerusalem that day and the next day.
13 David el solal elan welul mongo in eku, ac oru el sruhila. Tusruktu Uriah el tia pac som nu lohm sel fong sac, a el motulla fin kaot lal ah yurin mwet topang lun tokosra.
When David called him, he ate and drank before him, and David made him drunk. At evening Uriah went out to sleep on his bed with the servants of his master; he did not go down to his house.
14 Lotutang in len tok ah, David el simusla leta se nu sel Joab, ac sang Uriah el us.
So in the morning David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah.
15 El sim ouinge: “Likilya Uriah ke tak soko emeet an, yen ma upa mweun we ah, na foloki lukel in mau anwuki el.”
David wrote in the letter saying, “Set Uriah at the very front of the most intense battle, and then withdraw from him, that he may be hit and killed.”
16 Ouinge ke Joab el raunela siti sac, el supwalla Uriah nu yen se el etu lah mwet na fokoko inmasrlon mwet lokoalok lalos ac mweun we.
So as Joab watched the siege upon the city, he assigned Uriah to the place where he knew the strongest enemy soldiers would be fighting.
17 Un mwet mweun uh illa liki siti uh ac mweuni mwet lal Joab. Kutu sin mwet mweun fulat lal David ah anwuki, ac Uriah pa sie.
When the men of the city went out and fought against Joab's army, some of the soldiers of David fell, and Uriah the Hittite was also killed there.
18 Na Joab el supwala kas nu yorol David in fahk ke luman mweun sac,
When Joab sent word to David about everything concerning the war,
19 ac el fahk nu sin mwet se ma us kas sac, “Tukun kom srumun ke mweun uh nu sel tokosra,
he commanded the messenger, saying, “When you have finished telling all the things concerning the war to the king,
20 sahp el ku in kasrkusrak ac siyuk sum, ‘Efu komtal ku som arulana fototo nu ke siti uh in mweunelos? Mea, komtal nikin lah elos ac pisrki komtal in pot ah me?
it may happen that the king will become angry, and he will say to you, 'Why did you go so near to the city to fight? Did you not know that they would shoot from the wall?
21 Mea, komtal mulkunla ke luman misa lal Abimelech, wen natul Gideon? Ma sac orek in acn Thebez, ke mutan se sisya eot in ilil se fin pot ah twe unilya. Na pa efu ku komtal som arulana apkuran nu ke pot ah?’ Tokosra el fin siyuk ma inge sum, kom fah fahk nu sel, ‘Uriah, sie sin captain lom ah, wi pac anwuki!’”
Who killed Abimelech son of Jerub-Besheth? Did not 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 must answer, 'Your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.'”
22 Ouinge mwet utuk kas sac som nu yorol David ac fahk ma nukewa Joab el sapkin elan tuh fahk ah.
So the messenger left and went to David and told him everything that Joab had sent him to say.
23 El fahk, “Mwet lokoalok lasr ah tuh ku liki kut na. Elos illa liki siti ah, ac mweuni kut yen turangang, tusruk kut ukwalosyak nwe ke mutunpot in siti ah.
Then the messenger said to David, “The enemy were stronger than we were at first; they came out to us into the field, but we drove them back to the entrance of the gate.
24 Na elos pisrik kut ke pot uh me, ac kutu sin captain lun mwet mweun lun tokosra elos anwuki. Uriah, sie sin captain lom an, el wi pac anwuki.”
Then their shooters shot at your soldiers from off the wall, and some of the king's servants were killed, and your servant Uriah the Hittite was killed too.”
25 David el fahk nu sin mwet utuk kas sac, “Sang kas in akkeyal Joab, ac fahk nu sel elan tia toasrla, mweyen kut tia ku in etu lah su ac misa ke mweun uh. Fahk nu sel elan sifilpa mweuni siti sac ku liki meet, ac eisla.”
Then David said to the messenger, “Say this to Joab, 'Do not let this displease you, for the sword devours one as well as another. Make your battle even stronger against the city, and overthrow it,' and encourage him.”
26 Ke Bathsheba el lohngak lah mukul tumal ah misa, el arulana tung kacl.
So when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she lamented deeply for her husband.
27 Ke safla pacl in asor lal ah, David el sap in utuku Bathsheba nu in lohm sin tokosra. El payukyak sel, ac Bathsheba el oswela wen se nu sel. Tusruktu, LEUM GOD El tia insewowo ke ma David el oru inge.
When her sorrow passed, David sent and took her home to his palace, and she became his wife and bore him a son. But what David had done displeased Yahweh.
