2 Samuel 11
1 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.
Saning boeng moe, siangpahrangnawk misatukhaih tue phak naah, David mah Joab to siangpahrang ih tamnanawk, Israel kaminawk boih hoi nawnto misatuk naah patoeh, nihcae mah Ammon kaminawk to hum o moe, Rabbah vangpui to ven o. Toe David loe Jerusalem vangpui ah oh.
2 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.
Khawnbang duem ah David loe a iihhaih ahmuen hoiah angthawk moe, a ohhaih siangpahrang imphu ah amkaeh; to naah tui kamthluh nongpata maeto a hnuk. To nongpata loe paroeai kranghoih.
3 David sent and inquired after the woman. One said, “Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, Uriah the Hittite’s wife?”
David mah to nongpata loe mi maw, tiah panoek hanah, kami patoeh moe, duengsak; to naah to kami mah, Anih loe Hit kami Uriah ih zu, Eliam canu Bethsheba na ai maw? tiah a naa.
4 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.
To naah David mah laicaehnawk to patoeh moe, laksak; nongpata to anih khaeah angzoh naah, anih to a iih haih; nongpata loe kaciim ai hmuen pasaeh pacoengah, angmah im ah amlaem let.
5 The woman conceived; and she sent and told David, and said, “I am with child.”
Nongpata loe zokpomh; zokpomh boeh, tiah David khaeah thuih pae o.
6 David sent to Joab, “Send me Uriah the Hittite.” Joab sent Uriah to David.
To pongah David mah Joab khaeah, Hit kami Uriah to na patoeh ah, tiah a naa. To pongah anih mah Uriah to patoeh.
7 When Uriah had come to him, David asked him how Joab did, and how the people fared, and how the war prospered.
Uriah anih khaeah phak naah, siangpahrang mah Joab ih akawng, misatuh kaminawk ih akawng hoi misatukhaih kawng to dueng.
8 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.
David mah Uriah khaeah, Na im ah caeh tathuk loe, na khok to amsae ah, tiah a naa. Uriah loe siangpahrang im hoiah tacawt, anih caeh pacoengah siangpahrang mah caaknaeknawk pat pae.
9 But Uriah slept at the door of the king’s house with all the servants of his lord, and did not go down to his house.
Toe Uriah loe angmah angraeng ih tamnanawk hoi nawnto siangpahrang thok taengah iih; angmah im ah caeh tathuk ai.
10 When they had told David, saying, “Uriah did not go down to his house,” David said to Uriah, “Have not you come from a journey? Why did not you go down to your house?”
Uriah loe angmah im ah caeh tathuk ai, tiah David khaeah thuih pae o naah, anih mah Uriah khaeah, Kholong caehhaih ahmuen hoiah nang zoh na ai maw? Tipongah nangmah im ah na caeh ai loe? tiah a naa.
11 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!”
Uriah mah David khaeah, Sithaw thingkhong, Israel kaminawk hoi Judah kaminawk loe kahni imthung ah oh o; ka angraeng Joab hoi ka angraeng ih tamnanawk doeh taw ah ni atai o; kawbangmaw ka naekcaak moe, ka zu khaeah iih hanah im ah kam laem thai tih? Nang na hing moe, na pakhra hing baktih toengah, hae baktih hmuen hae ka sah mak ai, tiah a naa.
12 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.
To naah David mah Uriah khaeah, Vaihni loe cam raeh, khawnbangah kang patoeh let han, tiah a naa. To pongah Uriah loe, to na ni hoi akhawnbang khoek to Jerusalem vangpui ah oh.
13 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 did not go down to his house.
David mah anih to kawk pongah, anih loe David hmaa ah buhcaak; David mah anih to mu paqui khoek to naeksak; toe duembangah loe angmah angraeng ih tamnanawk hoi nawnto iih hanah a caeh; angmah im ah caeh ai.
14 In the morning, David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it by the hand of Uriah.
Khawnbangah loe David mah Joab khaeah ca tarik moe, Uriah hnukah pat pae.
15 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.”
To ih ca pongah, Misa pop koekhaih ahmuen ah Uriah to patoeh ah, misa mah anih to hum moe, paduek hanah, anih to hnukbang amlaem taak ah, tiah a naa.
16 When Joab kept watch on the city, he assigned Uriah to the place where he knew that valiant men were.
To pongah Joab mah vangpui to tuk naah, misa pop koek, tiah a poek ih ahmuen ah Uriah to patoeh.
17 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.
Vangpui ih kaminawk angzoh o moe, Joab to tuk o naah, thoemto David ih kaminawk to duek o; Hit kami Uriah doeh to ah duek toeng.
18 Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war;
To pacoengah Joab mah David khaeah, misatukhaih kawng kakoep ah thuih pae hanah, kami to patoeh.
19 and he commanded the messenger, saying, “When you have finished telling all the things concerning the war to the king,
Joab mah laicaeh ah patoeh ih kami khaeah, Misatukhaih kawng boih siangpahrang khaeah na thuih pae naah,
20 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? Did not you know that they would shoot from the wall?
siangpahrang palungphui moe, Tipongah vangpui kanghnai ah na caeh o loe? Sipae nui hoiah na kaat o tih, tiah na panoek o ai maw?
21 Who struck Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? 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 shall say, ‘Your servant Uriah the Hittite is also dead.’”
Jerubbeseth capa Abimelek loe mi mah maw hum? Anih to Thebez vangpui ah nongpata maeto mah tapang nui hoiah caangkaehhaih thlung palet thuih moe, a duek na ai maw? Tipongah sipae hoi kanghnai ah na caeh o loe, tiah lokdueng nahaeloe, anih khaeah, Hit kami na tamna Uriah loe duek boeh, tiah thui paeh, tiah a naa.
22 So the messenger went, and came and showed David all that Joab had sent him for.
Joab mah thuih pae ih baktih toengah, to laicaeh mah siangpahrang khaeah thuih pae.
23 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.
Laicaeh mah David khaeah, Kaminawk mah kaicae ang pazawk o, kaicae tuk hanah taw khoek to angzoh o; toe nihcae to vangpui sipae khoek to ka patom o.
24 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.”
To naah nihcae mah sipae nui hoiah na tamnanawk to palaa hoiah kah o pongah, thoemto siangpahrang ih tamnanawk loe duek o boeh; na tamna Hit kami Uriah doeh to ah duek toeng, tiah a naa.
25 Then David said to the messenger, “Tell Joab, ‘Do not 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.”
David mah to ih laicaeh khaeah, Joab khaeah hae tiah thuih pae hanah lokpat; hae hmuen pongah poeknawm ai ah om hmah; sumsen mah kami maeto hum baktih toengah, kalah maeto doeh a hum. Misatuk thacaksak loe, vangpui to phrae paeh, tiah a naa. Hae tiah Joab thapaekhaih lok to thui pae ah, tiah a naa.
26 When Uriah’s wife heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she mourned for her husband.
Uriah zu mah a sava duek ving boeh, tiah thaih naah palungset.
27 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.
Palungset dip pacoengah, David mah nongpata to angmah im ah kawk hanah kami to patoeh; to tiah nongpata loe anih ih zu ah oh moe, anih han capa maeto sak pae. Toe David mah sak ih hmuen nuiah Angraeng anghoe ai.
