II Samuel 11

Nan prentan apre sa, nan epòk wa yo konn soti pou al fè lagè, David voye Joab ansanm ak tout lòt ofisye yo alatèt lame pèp Izrayèl la al goumen ak moun Amon yo. Yo ravaje peyi Amon an, yo sènen lavil Raba. David menm te rete lavil Jerizalèm.

And it came to pass, after the year was expired, at the time when kings go forth to battle, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried still at Jerusalem.

Yon jou, bò aswè, David te fin fè yon ti poze, li leve, li soti al sou teras ki anwo palè a. Antan li la, li wè yon fanm ki t'ap benyen. Fanm lan te bèl anpil.

And it came to pass in an eveningtide, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king's house: and from the roof he saw a woman washing herself; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon.

Li voye chache konnen ki moun fanm lan te ye. Yo vin di l' se Batcheba, pitit fi Eliyam lan, madan Ouri, moun peyi Et la.

And David sent and enquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bath–sheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?

David voye mesaje al chache l' mennen l' ba li, li kouche avè l'. Lè sa a Batcheba te fèk fin fè sèvis pou l' fè apre règ li. Apre sa, Batcheba tounen lakay li.

And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in unto him, and he lay with her; for she was purified from her uncleanness: and she returned unto her house.

Fanm lan vin ansent. Li voye nouvèl bay David pou fè l' konn sa.

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

David voye yon mesaj bay Joab, li mande l' pou l' voye Ouri, moun peyi Et la, ba li. Se konsa, Joab voye Ouri bay David.

And David sent to Joab, saying, Send me Uriah the Hittite. And Joab sent Uriah to David.

Lè Ouri rive, David mande l' nouvèl Joab ak sòlda yo, ki jan batay la ye.

And when Uriah was come unto him, David demanded of him how Joab did, and how the people did, and how the war prospered.

Apre sa, li di Ouri: -Desann al lakay ou non! Al poze kò ou! Ouri soti. David voye yon kado pou li lakay li.

And David said to Uriah, Go down to thy house, and wash thy feet. And Uriah departed out of the king's house, and there followed him a mess of meat from the king.

Men Ouri pa al lakay li. Li kouche bò pòtay palè a ansanm ak tout lòt sòlda wa yo.

But Uriah slept at the door of the king's house with all the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.

Lè David vin konnen Ouri pa t' al lakay li, li mande l': -Ou fèk antre soti nan vwayaj, poukisa ou pa al lakay ou?

And when they had told David, saying, Uriah went not down unto his house, David said unto Uriah, Camest thou not from thy journey? why then didst thou not go down unto thine house?

Ouri reponn David: -Sòlda Izrayèl yo ak sòlda Jida yo byen lwen ap fè lagè, Bwat Kontra Seyè a ansanm ak yo. Kòmandan Joab ak lòt chèf lame monwa yo ap pase nwit deyò nan plenn yo. Ki jan ou vle pou m' al lakay mwen, manje, bwè, kouche ak madanm mwen? Mwen fè sèman sou tèt ou, menm jan ou vivan an, m' pa ka janm fè bagay konsa.

And Uriah said unto David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in tents; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open fields; shall I then go into mine house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? as thou livest, and as thy soul liveth, I will not do this thing.

David di li: -Bon. Ou mèt rete pase rès jounen an isit la. Denmen m'a voye ou ale. Se konsa, Ouri rete lavil Jerizalèm pou de jou ankò.

And David said to Uriah, Tarry here to day also, and to morrow I will let thee depart. So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day, and the morrow.

David envite l' vin manje avè l'. Li fè l' bwè jouk li sou. Men jou swa sa a tou, Ouri pa desann al lakay li. Li kouche sou kabann li ansanm ak sòlda palè wa yo.

And when David had called him, he did eat and drink before him; and he made him drunk: and at even he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but went not down to his house.

Nan denmen, David ekri Joab yon lèt, li bay Ouri pote l' ale.

And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah.

Nan lèt la, li te ekri: W'a mete Ouri devan nèt, kote batay la pi cho a. Apre sa, rale kò ou dèyè, kite yo touye l'.

And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set ye Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, that he may be smitten, and die.

Se konsa, Joab ki te sènen lavil Raba a voye Ouri kote li te konnen lènmi yo te pi fò a.

And it came to pass, when Joab observed the city, that he assigned Uriah unto a place where he knew that valiant men were.

Lame lènmi yo soti nan lavil la, yo vin kontre ak lame Joab la. Gen anpil sòlda ak anpil ofisye lame David la ki te mouri. Ouri, moun peyi Et la, mouri tou.

And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab: and there fell some of the people of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hittite died also.

Joab voye rakonte David tout ti detay sou jan batay la pase.

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

Epi li bay mesaje a lòd sa a: -Lè w'a fin rakonte wa a tout ti detay batay la,

And charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast made an end of telling the matters of the war unto the king,

li ka fè kòlè, li ka di ou: Poukisa nou te pwoche pre lavil la konsa pou m' te goumen ak lènmi yo? Se konnen nou pa konnen yo te ka rete sou tèt miray la pou yo tire flèch sou nou?

And if so be that the king's wrath arise, and he say unto thee, Wherefore approached ye so nigh unto the city when ye did fight? knew ye not that they would shoot from the wall?

Nou gen lè bliye jan Abimelèk, pitit Jedeyon an te mouri lavil Tebès? Se yon fanm ki te rete sou tèt miray la, li voye yo wòl moulen sou li, li touye l' frèt. Poukisa atò nou te pwoche pre lavil la konsa? Si wa a pale konsa avè ou, w'a di l': Ouri, moun peyi Et la, ofisye lame ou la, mouri tou.

Who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from the wall, that he died in Thebez? why went ye nigh the wall? then say thou, Thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.

Mesaje a ale, li rakonte David tou sa Joab te ba li lòd rakonte l' la.

So the messenger went, and came and shewed David all that Joab had sent him for.

Li di l': -Lènmi nou yo te pi fò pase nou. Yo fè yon soti nan lavil la, yo vin goumen avè nou nan plenn lan. Men nou fè yo kase tèt tounen, nou kouri dèyè yo jouk devan pòtay lavil la.

And the messenger said unto David, Surely the men prevailed against us, and came out unto us into the field, and we were upon them even unto the entering of the gate.

Se lè sa a, yo rete sou tèt miray yo, yo voye flèch sou nou. Gen kèk ofisye lame wa a ki mouri. Ouri, moun peyi Et la, ofisye wa a, mouri tou.

And the shooters shot from off the wall upon thy servants; and some of the king's servants be dead, and thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.

David di mesaje a: -Ankouraje Joab. Di li li pa bezwen kite sa fatige l' twòp. Se toujou konsa lè y'ap fè lagè. Ou pa janm konnen kilès ki pral mouri. Di li pare pou li fè yon gwo atak sou lavil la pou li pran l'.

Then David said unto the messenger, Thus shalt thou say unto Joab, Let not this thing displease thee, for the sword devoureth one as well as another: make thy battle more strong against the city, and overthrow it: and encourage thou him.

Lè Batcheba vin pran nouvèl mari l' te mouri, li pran lapenn pou li.

And when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she mourned for her husband.

Lè seremoni lantèman yo fini, David voye chache l', li pran l' lakay li. Batcheba vin madanm li. Li fè yon pitit gason pou David. Men, sa David te fè a pa t' fè Seyè a plezi menm.

And when the mourning was past, David sent and fetched her to his house, and she became his wife, and bare him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the LORD.
