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.
At the return of the year, at the time when kings go out, David sent Joab and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at 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.
At evening, David arose from his bed and walked on the roof of the king’s house. From the roof, he saw a woman 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.”
David sent and enquired after the woman. One said, “Isn’t this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, Uriah the Hittite’s wife?”
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; 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 Tok kutu el konauk lac el pitutu, ac sapla fahk nu sel David.
The woman conceived; and she sent and told David, and said, “I am with child.”
6 Na David el supwala kas nu sel Joab, “Supwalma Uriah mwet Hit nu yuruk.” Ouinge Joab el supwalla nu yorol David.
David sent to Joab, “Send me Uriah the Hittite.” 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 had come to him, David asked him how Joab did, and how the people fared, and how the war prospered.
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.” Uriah departed out of the king’s house, and a gift from the king was sent after him.
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 house with all the servants of his lord, and didn’t 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 had told David, saying, “Uriah didn’t go down to his house,” David said to Uriah, “Haven’t you come from a journey? Why didn’t you 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 said to David, “The ark, Israel, and Judah, are staying in tents; 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 you live, and as your soul lives, I will not do this thing!”
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.
David said to Uriah, “Stay here today also, and tomorrow I will let you depart.” 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 had called him, he ate and drank before him; and he made him drunk. At evening, he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but didn’t go down to his house.
14 Lotutang in len tok ah, David el simusla leta se nu sel Joab, ac sang Uriah el us.
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.”
He wrote in the letter, saying, “Send Uriah to the forefront of the hottest battle, and retreat from him, that he may be struck and die.”
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.
When Joab kept watch on the city, he assigned Uriah to the place where he knew that valiant men were.
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.
The men of the city went out and fought with Joab. Some of the people fell, even of David’s servants; and Uriah the Hittite died also.
18 Na Joab el supwala kas nu yorol David in fahk ke luman mweun sac,
Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war;
19 ac el fahk nu sin mwet se ma us kas sac, “Tukun kom srumun ke mweun uh nu sel tokosra,
and 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 shall be that, if the king’s wrath arise, and he asks you, ‘Why did you go so near to the city to fight? Didn’t you 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 struck Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? Didn’t 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 shall say, ‘Your servant Uriah the Hittite is also dead.’”
22 Ouinge mwet utuk kas sac som nu yorol David ac fahk ma nukewa Joab el sapkin elan tuh fahk ah.
So the messenger went, and came and showed David all that Joab had sent him for.
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.
The messenger said to David, “The men prevailed against us, and came out to us into the field; and we were on them even 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.”
The shooters shot at your servants from off the wall; and some of the king’s servants are dead, and your servant Uriah the Hittite is also dead.”
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, “Tell Joab, ‘Don’t let this thing displease you, for the sword devours one as well as another. Make your battle stronger against the city, and overthrow it.’ Encourage him.”
26 Ke Bathsheba el lohngak lah mukul tumal ah misa, el arulana tung kacl.
When Uriah’s wife heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she mourned 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 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 the LORD.
