2 Samuel 11
1 [In that region], kings usually went [with their armies] to fight [their enemies] in the springtime. But the following year, in the springtime, David [did not do that. Instead, he] stayed in Jerusalem, and he sent [his commander] Joab [to lead the army]. So Joab went with the other officers and the rest of the Israeli army. They [crossed the Jordan River and] defeated the army of the Ammon people-group. Then they surrounded [their capital city, ] Rabbah.
Napasamak daytoy iti panawen a panagtutubo dagiti mulmula, iti tiempo a kadawyan a mapan makigubat dagiti ari, imbaon ni David ni Joab, dagiti adipenna, ken amin nga armada ti Israel. Dinadaelda ti armada ti Ammon ken linakubda ti Rabba. Ngem nagtalinaed ni David iti Jerusalem.
2 Late one afternoon, after David got up from taking a nap, he walked around on the [flat] roof of his palace. He saw a woman who was bathing [in the courtyard of her house]. The woman was very beautiful.
Ket napasamak iti maysa a rabii a bimmangon iti pagiddaanna ni David ken nagpagnapagna iti tuktok ti palasiona. Manipud sadiay, natannawaganna iti maysa a babai nga agdigdigus, ken nakapinpintas unay a kitkitaen ti babai.
3 David sent a messenger to find out who she was. [The messenger returned] and said, “She is [RHQ] Bathsheba. She is the daughter of Eliam, and her husband is Uriah, from the Heth people-group.”
Isu a nangibaon ni David ken nagsaludsod kadagiti tattao no siasino ti makaam-ammo iti babai. Adda maysa a nangibaga, “Saan kadi a daytoy ni Batseba a putot a babai ni Eliam, ken saan kadi nga isuna ti asawa ni Urias a Heteo?”
4 Then David sent more messengers to get her. They brought her to David, and he (slept/had sex) [EUP] with her. (She had just finished performing the rituals to make herself pure [after her monthly menstrual period].) Then Bathsheba went back home.
Nangibaon ni David kadagiti mensahero ket innalada ti babai; napan ti babai kenni David ket kinaiddana isuna (ta kalkalpas ni Batseba a nangannong iti binulan a seremonia ti pannakadalus gapu iti panagreglana). Kalpasanna, nagawid ti babai iti balayna.
5 [After some time], she realized that she was pregnant. So she sent a messenger to tell David [that she was pregnant].
Nagnginaw ti babai, nangibaon isuna ket imbagana kenni David, “Masikogak.”
6 Then David sent a message to Joab. He said, “Send Uriah, from the Heth people-group, to me.” So Joab did that. He sent Uriah to David.
Ket nangibaon ni David iti ayan ni Joab a kinunana, “Ibaonmo kaniak ni Urias a Heteo.” Isu nga imbaon ni Joab ni Urias a mapan kenni David.
7 When he arrived, David asked if Joab was well, and if other soldiers were well, and how the war was progressing.
Idi makadanon ni Urias, dinamag ni David no kumusta ni Joab, ti armada, ken ti gubat.
8 Then David, [hoping that Uriah would go home and sleep with his wife, ] said to Uriah, “Okay, go home and relax for a while. [IDM]” So Uriah left, and David gave someone a gift [of some food] to take to Uriah’s house.
Kinuna ni David kenni Urias, “Bumabaka idiay balaymo, ket buggoam dagiti sakam.” Isu a pinanawan ni Urias ti palasio ti ari ket nangipatulod iti maysa a sagut ti ari para kenni Urias kalpasan a nakapanaw isuna.
9 But Uriah did not go home. Instead, he slept at the palace entrance with the king’s palace guards.
Ngem naturog ni Urias iti ruangan ti palasio ti ari a kadua dagiti amin nga adipen ti apona, ket saan isuna a bimmaba iti balayna.
10 When someone told David that Uriah did not go to his house [that night], David [summoned him again and] said to him, “Why didn’t you go home [to be with your wife last night], after having been away for a long time?” [RHQ]
Idi imbagada kenni David, “Saan a bimmaba ni Urias iti balayna,” Kinuna ni David kenni Urias, “Saan kadi a kasangsangpetmo manipud iti panagdaliasat? Apay a saanka a bimmaba iti balaymo?”
11 Uriah replied, “The soldiers of Judah and Israel are camping in the open fields, and even our commander Joab is sleeping in a tent, and the sacred chest is with them. (How could I/It would not be right for me to) go home, eat and drink, and sleep with my wife [RHQ]. I solemnly declare [IDM] that I will never do such a thing!”
Simmungbat ni Urias, “Adda kadagiti tolda ti Lakasa ti Tulag, ti Israel ken ti Juda, nakakampo pay iti nalawa a tay-ak ni apok a Joab ken dagiti adipen ti apok. Kasanoak a mapan iti balayko tapno mangan, uminom ken makikaidda iti asawak? Agingga a sibibiagka apo ari, saankonto nga aramiden dayta.”
12 Then David said to Uriah, “Stay here today. I will let you return [to the battle] tomorrow.” So Uriah stayed in Jerusalem that day and that night.
Isu nga imbaga ni David kenni Urias, “Agtalinaedka pay ditoy ita nga aldaw, ket palubosankanto a pumanaw inton bigat.” Isu a nagtalinaed ni Urias iti Jerusalem iti dayta nga aldaw ken iti sumaruno nga aldaw.
13 The next day, David invited him [to a meal]. So Uriah had a meal with David, and David made him drink a lot of wine so that he would get drunk, [hoping that if he was drunk, he would sleep with his wife]. But that night, Uriah again did not go home. Instead, he slept on his cot with the king’s servants.
Idi inayaban ni David isuna, nangan ken imminom isuna iti sangoananna, ket binartek isuna ni David. Iti dayta a rabii, rimmuar ni Urias tapno maturog iti pagiddaanna a kaduana dagiti adipen ti apona; saan isuna a bimmaba iti balayna.
14 [Someone reported that to] David, [so] the next morning he wrote a letter to Joab, and gave it to Uriah to take to Joab.
Isu nga iti kinabigatanna, nagsurat ni David kenni Joab, ket impatulodna daytoy iti ima ni Urias.
15 In the letter, he wrote, “Put Uriah in the front line, where the fighting is the (worst/most severe). Then command the soldiers to pull back from him, in order that he will be killed [by our enemies].”
Kinuna ni David iti suratna, “Ikabilmo ni Urias iti sango iti nainget a gubat, ket agsanudkayo manipud kenkuana tapno matamaan isuna ket matay.”
16 [So after] Joab [got the letter], as his army was surrounding the city, he sent Uriah to a place where he knew that their enemies’ strongest and best soldiers would be fighting.
Isu a bayat ti panangbuya ni Joab ti pananglakub iti siudad, pinagpuestona ni Urias iti disso nga ammona a pagkirangetan dagiti kapipigsaan a soldado dagiti kabusor.
17 The men from the city came out and fought with Joab’s soldiers. They killed some of David’s officers, including Uriah.
Idi rimmuar dagiti lallaki iti siudad ket nakirangetda iti armada ni Joab, nattuang ti sumagmamano kadagiti soldado ni David, ket natay met sadiay ni Urias a Heteo.
18 Then Joab sent a messenger to David to tell him about the fighting.
Idi nangibaon ni Joab iti damag kenni David iti amin a napasamak maipapan iti gubat,
19 He said to the messenger, “Tell David the news about the battle. After you finish telling that to him,
binilinna ti mensahero a kinunana, “No malpasmo nga ibaga iti ari ti amin a banag maipapan iti gubat,
20 if David is angry [because so many officers were killed], he may ask you, ‘Why did your soldiers go so close to the city to fight [RHQ]? Did you not know that they would shoot [arrows at you while they were standing on top] of the city wall [RHQ]?
nalabit a makaungetto ti ari ket kunananto kenka, 'Apay nga immasidegkayo unay iti siudad a makiranget? Saanyo kadi nga ammo nga agpanada manipud iti pader?
21 Do you not remember how Abimelech, the son of Gideon, was killed? A woman [who lived] in Thebez threw a huge (millstone/stone for grinding grain) on him from [the top of] tower, and he died. So why did your troops go near to the city wall?’ If the king asks this, then tell him, ‘Your officer Uriah also was killed.’”
Siasino ti nangpatay kenni Abimelec a putot ni Jerobaal? Saan kadi a maysa a babai ti nangipuruak iti gilingan a bato kenkuana manipud iti pader, isu a natay isuna idiay Tebes? Apay nga immasidegkayo unay iti pader?' Ket kastoyto ti isungbatmo, 'Natay met ti adipenmo a ni Urias a Heteo.'”
22 So the messenger went and told David everything that Joab told him to say.
Isu a pimmanaw ti mensahero, napan kenni David ket imbagana amin nga imbilin ni Joab kenkuana.
23 The messenger said to David, “Our enemies were very brave, and came out of the city to fight us in the fields. [They were defeating us] but we forced them back to the city gate.
Kinuna ti mensahero kenni David, “Idi un-unana, napigpigsa dagiti kabusor ngem kadakami; rimmuarda ket dimmarupda kadakami idiay tay-ak, ngem naabogmi ida a pasubli iti pagserrekan ti ruangan.”
24 Then their archers shot arrows at us from [the top of] the city wall. They killed some of your officers. They killed your officer Uriah, too.”
Manipud iti tuktok ti pader, pinana dagiti pumapana dagiti adipenmo ket napapatay ti sumagmamano kadagiti adipen ti ari ken napapatay met ti adipenmo a ni Urias a Heteo”
25 David said to the messenger, “Go back to Joab and say to him, ‘Do not be distressed [about what happened], because no one ever knows who will be killed in a battle.’ Tell him that the next time his troops should attack the city more strongly, and capture it.”
Kinuna ni David iti mensahero, “Ibagam daytoy kenni Joab, 'Saanmo nga ipalubos a paglidayennaka daytoy, ta alun-onen ti kampilan ti maysa kasta met ti sabali. Papigsaenyo pay ti pannakirangetyo maibusor iti siudad, ket dadaelenyo daytoy,' Ken pabilegem ni Joab.”
26 When Uriah’s wife [Bathsheba] heard that her husband had died, she mourned for him.
Isu nga idi nangngeg iti asawa ni Urias a natayen ti asawana, nagdung-aw isuna iti nakaro para iti asawana.
27 When her time of mourning was ended, David sent messengers to bring her to the palace. Thus, she became David’s wife. She later gave birth to a son. But Yahweh was very displeased with what David had done.
Idi nalpasen ti panagladingitna, nangibaon ni David ket inyawidna ti babai iti palasiona, nagbalin isuna nga asawana ket nangipasngay iti maysa a lalaki. Ngem saan a naay-ayo ni Yahweh iti inaramid ni David.
