II Samuela 11

1 A I ka makahiki hou, i ka manawa e hele aku ai na alii [i ke kaua, ] hoouna aku la o Davida ia Ioaba, a me na kauwa ana me ia, a me ka Iseraela a pau; a luku aku la lakou i ka poe mamo a Amona; a pue aku la ia Raba: aka, noho iho la o Davida ma Ierusalema ia manawa.

And it came to pass when the time o the year for kings going out [to battle] had come round, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbath: but David remained at Jerusalem.

2 A i ka manawa ahiahi, ala'e la o Davida mai kona wahi moe, a holoholo ae la maluna o ka hale o ke alii: nana aku la ia mai luna ae o ka hale i kekahi wahine e auau ana: a he maikai loa ua wahine la ke nanaia'ku.

And it came to pass toward evening, that David arose off his couch, and walked on the roof of the king's house, and saw from the roof a woman bathing; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon.

3 Hoouna aku la o Davida e ninau aku no ka wahine. I mai la kekahi, Aole anei keia o Bateseba ke kaikamahine a Eliama, ka wahine hoi a Uria ka Heta?

And David sent and enquired about the woman: and [one] said, [Is] not this Bersabee the daughter of Eliab, the wife of Urias the Chettite?

4 Hoouna aku la o Davida i na mea kii aku, a lalau aku la ia ia: a hele mai la ia iloko io na la, a moe iho la kela me ia; no ka mea, ua huikalaia oia i kona haumia ana: a hoi hou aku la ia i kona hale.

And David sent messengers, and took her, and went in to her, and he lay with her: and she was purified from her uncleanness, and returned to her house.

5 A hapai ae la ua wahine la, hoouna aku la a hai ia Davida, i ka i ana, Ua hapai au.

And the woman conceived; and she sent and told David, and said, I am with child.

6 Hoouna aku la o Davida io Ioaba la, i aku la, E hoouna mai oe ia Uria ka Heta i o'u nei. A hoouna mai la o Ioaba ia Uria io Davida la.

And David sent to Joab, saying, Send me Urias the Chettite; and Joab sent Urias to David.

7 A hiki mai la o Uria io na la, ninau aku la o Davida ia ia i ka pomaikai o Ioaba, me ka pomaikai o na kanaka, a me ka pomaikai ana o ke kaua.

And Urias arrived and went in to him, and David asked him how Joab was, and how the people were, and how the war went on.

8 I aku la o Davida ia Uria, e iho iho oe i kou hale, a e holoi i kou wawae. A hele aku la o Uria iwaho o ka hale o ke alii, a ukali aku la kekahi ai mahope ona na ke alii aku.

And David said to Urias, Go to thy house, and wash thy feet: and Urias departed from the house of the king, and a portion [of meat] from the king followed him.

9 Aka, hiamoe iho la o Uria ma ka puka o ka hale o ke alii me na kauwa a pau a kona haku, aole ia i hele aku i kona hale.

And Urias slept at the door of the king with the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.

10 Hai aku la lakou ia Davida, i aku la, Aole i hele aku o Uria i kona hale. Ninau aku la o Davida ia Uria, Aole anei oe i hele mai mai kou hele ana? Heaha hoi kau i hele ole aku ai i kou hale?

And they brought David word, saying, Urias has not gone down to his house. And David said to Urias, Art thou not come from a journey? why hast thou not gone down to thy house?

11 I aku la o Uria ia Davida, Ke noho nei ka pahuberita, a o ka Iseraela a o ka Iuda iloko o na halelewa; ke hoomoana la hoi kuu haku o Ioaba me na kauwa a kuu haku mawaho ma ke kula; e komo anei hoi au iloko o ko'u hale e ai, a e inu, a e moe me ka'u wahine? Ma kou ola ana, me ke ola ana hoi o kou uhane, aole au e hana ia mea.

And Urias said to David, The ark, and Israel, and Juda dwell in tents; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open fields; and shall I go into my house to eat and drink, and lie with my wife? how [should I do this? as] thy soul lives, I will not do this thing.

12 I aku la o Davida ia Uria, E noho iho hoi oe i keia la, a apopo e kuu aku ai au ia oe e hoi. A noho iho la o Uria ma Ierusalema ia la, a hiki i kekahi la ae.

And David said to Urias, Remain here to-day also, and to-morrow I will let thee go. So Urias remained in Jerusalem that day and the day following.

13 Kahea aku la o Davida ia ia, a ai iho la ia a inu hoi imua ona; hoinu iho la o Davida ia ia a ona: a ahiahi ae la, hele aku la ia iwaho e moe ma kona wahi moe me na kauwa o kona haku, aole nae ia i hele i kona hale.

And David called him, and he ate before him and drank, and he made him drunk: and he went out in the evening to lie upon his bed with the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.

14 A kakahiaka ae, kakau iho la o Davida i ka palapala ia Ioaba, a hoouka aku la ia ma ka lima o Uria.

And the morning came, and David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Urias.

15 Kakau iho la ia iloko o ka palapala, i ka i ana'ku, E hoonoho aku oe ia Uria ma ke alo o ke kaua ikaika, a e hoi i hope oukou mai ona aku la, i pepehiia'i oia a make.

And he wrote in the letter, saying, Station Urias in front of the severe [part] of the fight, and retreat from behind him, so shall he be wounded and die.

16 A i ko Ioaba nana ana aku i ke kulanakauhale, hoonoho aku la oia ia Uria ma kahi ana i ike ai ilaila na kanaka ikaika.

And it came to pass while Joab was watching against the city, that he set Urias in a place where he knew that valiant men were.

17 Hele mai la na kanaka o ua kulanakauhale la iwaho, a kaua mai la ia Ioaba ma: a hina iho la kekahi poe kanaka o na kauwa a Davida, a make iho la hoi o Uria ka Heta.

And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab: and some of the people of the servants of David fell, and Urias the Chettite died also.

18 Hoouna aku la o Ioaba, a hai aku la ia Davida i na mea a pau o ke kaua;

And Joab sent, and reported to David all the events of the war, so as to tell them to the king.

19 Kauoha aku la ia i ka elele, i aku la, A pau kau hai ana aku i na mea o ke kaua i ke alii;

And he charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast finished reporting all the events of the war to the king,

20 Ina paha e huhu mai ke alii, a e i mai hoi ia oe, No ke aha la oukou i hele aku ai pela a kokoke i ke kulanakauhale i ke kaua ana o oukou? Aole anei oukou i ike, e pana mai lakou mai luna mai o ka pa?

then it shall come to pass if the anger of the king shall arise, and he shall say to thee, Why did ye draw nigh to the city to fight? knew ye not that they would shoot from off the wall?

21 Nawai i pepehi ia Abimeleka ke keiki a Ierubeseta? Aole anei he wahine i hoolei iho i ka apana pohaku wili palaoa maluna ona, i make ai oia ma Tebeza? No ke aha la oukou i hele aku ai a kokoke i ka pa? Alaila e i aku oe, Ua make no hoi kau kauwa o Uria o ka Heta.

Who smote Abimelech the son of Jerobaal son of Ner? did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from above the wall, and he died in Thamasi? why did ye draw near to the wall? then thou shalt say, Thy servant Urias the Chettite is also dead.

22 Hele aku la ka elele, hiki aku la a hai aku la ia Davida i na mea a pau a Ioaba i hoouna aku ai ia ia.

And the messenger of Joab went to the king to Jerusalem, and he came and reported to David all that Joab told him, all the affairs of the war. And David was very angry with Joab, and said to the messenger, Why did ye draw nigh to the wall to fight? knew ye not that ye would be wounded from off the wall? Who smote Abimelech the son of Jerobaal? did not a woman cast upon him a piece of millstone from the wall, and he died in Thamasi? why did ye draw near to the wall?

23 I aku la ka elele ia Davida, He oiaio ua lanakila mai kela poe kanaka maluna o makou, a hele mai la lakou iwaho io makou la ma ke kula, a hahai aku la makou ia lakou a hiki i ke komo ana ma ka puka.

And the messenger said to David, The men prevailed against us, and they came out against us into the field, and we came upon them even to the door of the gate.

24 A pana mai la ka poe pana mai luna mai o ka pa maluna iho o kau poe kauwa, a ua make kekahi poe kauwa a ke alii, a ua make hoi kau kauwa o Uria.

And the archers shot at thy servants from off the wall, and some of the king's servants died, and thy servant Urias the Chettite is dead also.

25 Alaila i aku la o Davida i ka elele, Penei kau e olelo aku ai ia Ioaba, Mai hoino oe ia mea ma kou manao; no ka mea, i ka ai ana mai a ka pahikaua e like me keia, pela no i na mea a pau: e hooikaika ae oe i kou kaua ana i ke kulanakauhale, a e hookahuli ia wahi; a nau no e hooikaika aku ia ia.

And David said to the messenger, Thus shalt thou say to Joab, Let not the matter be grievous in thine eyes, for the sword devours one way at one time and another way at another: strengthen thine array against the city, and destroy it, and strengthen him.

26 A lohe ae la ka wahine a Uria, ua make o Uria kana kane, kanikau iho la ia i kana kane.

And the wife of Urias heard that Urias her husband was dead, and she mourned for her husband.

27 A pau ae la ke kanikau ana, kii aku la o Davida, a lawe mai la ia ia i kona hale, a lilo ae la ia i wahine nana: a hanau mai la ia i keikikane nana: aka, he ino ka mea a Davida i hana'i imua o Iehova.

And the time of mourning expired, and David sent and took her into his house, and she became his wife, and bore him a son: but the thing which David did was evil in the eyes of the Lord.
