2 Samuel 11

1 It happened, at the return of the year, at the time when kings go out, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the people of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem.

Pripetilo se je, potem ko je minilo leto, ob času, ko gredo kralji na bitko, da je David poslal Joába in z njim svoje služabnike in ves Izrael in uničili so Amónove otroke in oblegali Rabo. Toda David se je še vedno zadrževal v Jeruzalemu.

2 It happened at evening, that David arose from off his bed, and walked on the roof of the king's house; and he saw a woman bathing, and the woman was very beautiful in appearance.

Ob večernem času se je pripetilo, da se je David dvignil iz svoje postelje in hodil po strehi kraljeve hiše in s strehe je videl žensko, ki se je umivala in ženska je bila na pogled zelo krasna.

3 David sent and inquired after the woman. One said, "Isn't this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hethite?"

David je poslal in poizvedel za žensko. Nekdo je rekel: » Mar ni to Batšéba, Eliámova hči, žena Hetejca Urijája?«

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.

David je poslal poslance in jo vzel. Vstopila je k njemu in ležal je z njo, kajti očiščena je bila od svoje nečistosti in vrnila se je v svojo hišo.

5 The woman conceived; and she sent and told David, and said, "I am with child."

Ženska je spočela in poslala in povedala Davidu ter rekla: »Jaz sem z otrokom.«

6 Then David sent to Joab and said, "Send me Uriah the Hethite." So Joab sent Uriah to him.

David je poslal k Joábu, rekoč: »Pošlji mi Hetejca Urijája.« In Joáb je poslal Urijája k Davidu.

7 And Uriah came to him, and David asked about the prosperity of Joab, and of the prosperity of the people, and of the prosperity of the war. And he said, "Its well."

Ko je Urijá prišel k njemu, je David od njega zahteval, kako je šlo Joábu in kako je šlo ljudstvu in kako je uspevala vojna.

8 And David said to Uriah, "Go down to your house, and wash your feet." So Uriah went out from the presence of the king, and a gift from the king was sent after him.

David je Urijáju rekel: »Pojdi dol k svoji hiši in si umij stopala.« Urijá je odšel iz kraljeve hiše in sledilo mu je darilo kraljeve jedi.

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.

Toda Urijá je spal pri vratih kraljeve hiše z vsemi služabniki svojega gospoda in ni odšel dol k svoji hiši.

10 And it was reported to David, saying, "Uriah did not go down to his house." So David said to Uriah, "Haven't you come from a journey? Why did you not go down to your house?"

Ko so Davidu povedali, rekoč: »Urijá ni odšel dol k svoji hiši, « je David rekel Urijáju: »Ali ne prihajaš iz svojega potovanja? Zakaj potem nisi šel dol k svoji hiši?«

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 camped in the open field. Shall I then go into my house to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? As the LORD lives, and as you live, I will not do this thing."

Urijá je Davidu rekel: »Skrinja, Izrael in Juda prebivajo v šotorih in moj gospod Joáb in služabniki mojega gospoda so utaborjeni na odprtih poljih; ali bom jaz potem šel v svojo hišo, da jem, da pijem in da ležim s svojo ženo? Kakor ti živiš in kakor živi tvoja duša, ne bom storil te stvari.«

12 David said to Uriah, "Stay here today also, and tomorrow I will let you depart." So Uriah stayed in Jerusalem that day.

In David je rekel Urijáju: »Ostani tukaj tudi danes, jutri pa ti bom pustil oditi.« Tako je Urijá ostal v Jeruzalemu ta dan in naslednji dan.

13 And the next day David summoned him, and he ate and drank in his presence, and he made him drunk. But in the evening he went out and lay on a bed with the servants of his lord, and did not go down to his house.

Ko ga je David poklical, je pred njim jedel in pil in ga je opijanil in zvečer je odšel ven, da bi s služabniki svojega gospoda legel na svojo posteljo, toda ni šel dol k svoji hiši.

14 It happened in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah.

Zjutraj pa se je zgodilo, da je David napisal pismo Joábu in to poslal po Urijájevi roki.

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."

V pismu je napisal, rekoč: »Postavite Urijája na sprednji del najbolj vroče bitke in se umaknite od njega, da bo lahko udarjen in umre.«

16 It happened, when Joab kept watch on the city, that he assigned Uriah to the place where he knew that valiant men were.

Pripetilo se je, ko je Joáb opazoval mesto, da je Urijája določil na kraj, kjer je vedel, da so bili hrabri možje.

17 The men of the city went out, and fought with Joab. Some of the people fell, even of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hethite died also.

Možje iz mesta so odšli ven in se borili z Joábom in tam so padli nekateri izmed ljudstva, izmed Davidovih služabnikov in tudi Hetejec Urijá je umrl.

18 Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war;

Potem je Joáb poslal in Davidu povedal vse stvari glede vojne

19 and he commanded the messenger, saying, "When you have finished telling all the things concerning the war to the king,

in naročil poslancu, rekoč: »Ko boš končal s sporočanjem stvari kralju glede vojne

20 it shall be that, if his anger rises and he asks you, 'Why did you go so near to the city to fight? Did you not know that they would shoot from the wall.

in če bo tako, da se bo vzdignil kraljevi bes in ti reče: ›Zakaj ste se približali tako blizu mesta, ko ste se bojevali? Mar niste vedeli, da bodo streljali iz obzidja?

21 Who struck Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal? Did a woman not 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 Hethite is dead also.'"

Kdo je udaril Jerubéšetovega sina Abiméleha? Ali ni ženska iz obzidja vrgla nanj kos mlinskega kamna, da je umrl v Tebécu? Zakaj ste se približali obzidju?‹ Potem reci: ›Tudi tvoj služabnik Hetejec Urijá je mrtev.‹«

22 And the messenger of Joab went to the king in Jerusalem and came and reported to David all that Joab had told him.

Tako je poslanec odšel in prišel in pokazal Davidu vse, za kar ga je Joáb poslal.

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.

Poslanec je Davidu rekel: »Ljudje so zagotovo prevladali zoper nas in prišli ven, k nam na polje in mi smo bili nad njimi celo do vhoda velikih vrat.

24 And the archers shot at your servants from off the wall, and some eighteen men of the king's servants are dead. And your servant Uriah the Hethite is dead also."

In strelci so streljali iz obzidja na tvoje služabnike; in nekateri izmed kraljevih služabnikov so mrtvi in tudi tvoj služabnik Hetejec Urijá je mrtev.«

25 Then David said to the messenger, "Thus you shall 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."

Potem je David rekel poslancu: »Tako boš rekel Joábu: ›Ne dopusti, da te ta stvar razžali, kajti meč požre enega kakor drugega. Svojo bitko zoper mesto naredi močnejšo in ga premagaj. Ohrabri ga.‹«

26 When the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she made lamentation for her husband.

Ko je Urijájeva žena slišala, da je bil njen soprog Urijá mrtev, je žalovala za svojim soprogom.

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.

Ko je žalovanje minilo, je David poslal in jo privedel k svoji hiši in postala je njegova žena in mu rodila sina. Toda stvar, ki jo je David storil, je razžalila Gospoda.
