2 Samyèl 11
1 Alò, li te fèt pandan prentan an, lè ke wa yo konn sòti batay, ke David te voye Joab, ansanm avèk sèvitè li yo ak tout Israël. Yo te detwi fis a Ammon yo e yo te fè syèj nan Rabba, men David te rete Jérusalem.
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 Epi lè lannwit te vin rive, David te leve nan kabann li. Li te mache antoure twati kay wa a, soti nan twati a, li te wè yon fanm ki t ap benyen. Epi fanm nan te byen bèl nan aparans li.
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 Konsa, David te voye mande konsèy sou fanm sa a. Epi youn te di: “Èske sa se pa Bath-Schéba, fis a Éliam nan, fanm a Urie a, Itit la?”
David sent and inquired after the woman. One said, “Isn’t this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, Uriah the Hittite’s wife?”
4 David te voye mesaje pran li. Lè li te parèt kote li, li te kouche avèk li ( paske li te fin pirifye tèt li de salte a). Epi li te retounen lakay li.
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 Fanm nan te vin ansent. Li te voye di David: “Mwen ansent.”
The woman conceived; and she sent and told David, and said, “I am with child.”
6 Konsa, David te voye kote Joab. Li te di: “Voye ban mwen Urie, Itit la.” Konsa, Joab te voye Urie kote David.
David sent to Joab, “Send me Uriah the Hittite.” Joab sent Uriah to David.
7 Lè Urie te vin kote li, David te mande pa sikonstans a Joab avèk tout pèp la ak jan lagè a te mache a.
When Uriah had come to him, David asked him how Joab did, and how the people fared, and how the war prospered.
8 Alò, David te di a Urie: “Desann lakay ou pou lave pye ou.” Epi Urie te desann sòti lakay wa, a e yon kado soti nan men wa a te voye ba li.
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 Men Urie te dòmi kote pòt lakay wa a avèk tout sèvitè a mèt li yo. Li pa t desann lakay li.
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 Alò, lè yo te di David: “Urie pa t desann lakay li,” David te di a Urie: “Èske ou pa t fenk fin fè yon vwayaj? Poukisa konsa ou pa t desann lakay ou?”
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 Urie te di a David: “Lach la menm avèk Israël avèk Juda ap rete nan tant yo; epi mèt mwen, Joab avèk sèvitè a mèt mwen yo ap fè kan nan chan louvri. Konsa, kijan mwen kapab ale lakay mwen pou manje bwè e kouche avèk madanm mwen? Pa lavi ou ak lavi nanm ou menm, mwen p ap fè bagay sa a.”
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 Alò, David te di a Urie: “Rete isit la jodi a tou e demen mwen va kite ou ale.” Konsa, Urie te rete Jérusalem nan jou sa a ak pwochen jou a.
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 Alò David te rele li, li te manje bwè devan li e li te fè li sou. Epi nan aswè, li te sòti pou kouche sou kabann li avèk sèvitè a mèt li yo, men li pa t desann lakay li.
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 Alò, nan maten, David te ekri yon lèt a Joab pou te voye li nan men Urie.
In the morning, David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it by the hand of Uriah.
15 Li te ekri nan lèt la, e te di: “Mete Urie pa devan nan chan kote batay la pi rèd la e retounen kite li, pou l kab tonbe mouri.”
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 Konsa, se te pandan Joab t ap veye vil la, ke li te mete Urie nan plas kote li te konnen lènmi an te gen mesye vanyan yo.
When Joab kept watch on the city, he assigned Uriah to the place where he knew that valiant men were.
17 Mesye vil yo te sòti goumen kont Joab, kèk nan moun pami sèvitè a David yo te tonbe. Epi Urie, Itit la te mouri tou.
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 Alò, Joab te voye bay rapò a David selon tout evenman lagè a.
Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war;
19 Li te kòmande mesaje a, e te di: “Lè ou fin pale tout afè lagè yo a wa a,
and he commanded the messenger, saying, “When you have finished telling all the things concerning the war to the king,
20 epi li vin rive ke kòlè leve nan wa a e li di ou: ‘Poukisa ou te pwoche pre vil la konsa pou goumen? Èske ou pa t konnen ke yo ta tire soti sou miray la?
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 Se kilès ki te frape Abimélec, fis a Jerubbéscheth la? Èske se pa yon fanm ki te jete yon wòch moulen sou li soti nan miray ki fè l mouri Thébets la? Poukisa ou te pwoche pre miray la?’ epi ou va di: ‘Sèvitè ou a Urie, Itit la, te mouri tou.’”
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 Konsa, mesaje a te pati pou te vin bay rapò a David, de tout sa ke Joab te voye li pale yo.
So the messenger went, and came and showed David all that Joab had sent him for.
23 Mesaje a te di a David: “Mesye yo te genyen sou nou e te sòti kont nou nan chan an; men nou te peze yo rèd jis rive nan antre pòtay la.
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 Anplis, mesye banza yo te tire sou sèvitè ou yo soti nan miray la. Konsa, kèk nan sèvitè ou yo mouri, e sèvitè ou a, Urie, Etyen an mouri osi.”
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 Alò David te di a mesaje a: “Konsa ou va pale Joab, ‘Pa kite bagay sa a fè ou mal, paske nepe a devore youn menm jan ke yon lòt. Fè batay ou kont vil la vin pi rèd pou boulvèse li’. Se konsa pou ankouraje li.”
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 Alò, lè madanm a Urie te tande ke Urie, mari li a, te mouri, li te kriye pou mari li.
When Uriah’s wife heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she mourned for her husband.
27 Lè tan kriye a te fini, David te voye mennen li lakay li, li te devni madanm li, e li te fè yon fis pou li. Men bagay ke David te fè a te mal nan zye SENYÈ a.
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 Yahweh.
