撒母耳記下 11
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
World English Bible
1過了一年，到列王出戰的時候， 大衛 又差派 約押 ，率領臣僕和 以色列 眾人出 戰 。他們就打敗 亞捫 人，圍攻 拉巴 。 大衛 仍住在 耶路撒冷 。
1At 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.
2一日，太陽平西， 大衛 從床上起來，在王宮的平頂上遊行，看見一個婦人沐浴，容貌甚美，
2At 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大衛 就差人打聽那婦人是誰。有人說：「她是 以連 的女兒， 赫 人 烏利亞 的妻 拔示巴 。」
3David sent and inquired after the woman. One said, “Isn’t this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, Uriah the Hittite’s wife?”
4大衛 差人去，將婦人接來；那時她的月經才得潔淨。她來了， 大衛 與她同房，她就回家去了。
4David 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於是她懷了孕，打發人去告訴 大衛 說：「我懷了孕。」
5The woman conceived; and she sent and told David, and said, “I am with child.”
6大衛 差人到 約押 那裏， 說 ：「你打發 赫 人 烏利亞 到我這裏來。」 約押 就打發 烏利亞 去見 大衛 。
6David sent to Joab, “Send me Uriah the Hittite.” Joab sent Uriah to David.
7烏利亞 來了， 大衛 問 約押 好，也問兵好，又問爭戰的事怎樣。
7When Uriah had come to him, David asked him how Joab did, and how the people fared, and how the war prospered.
8大衛 對 烏利亞 說：「你回家去，洗洗腳吧！」 烏利亞 出了王宮，隨後王送他一分 食 物。
8David 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烏利亞 卻和他主人的僕人一同睡在宮門外，沒有回家去。
9But 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有人告訴 大衛 說：「 烏利亞 沒有回家去。」 大衛 就問 烏利亞 說：「你從遠路上來，為甚麼不回家去呢？」
10When 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烏利亞 對 大衛 說：「 約 櫃和 以色列 與 猶大 兵都住在棚裏，我主 約押 和我主的僕人都在田野安營，我豈可回家吃喝、與妻子同寢呢？我敢在王面前起誓：我決不行這事！」
11Uriah 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大衛 吩咐 烏利亞 說：「你今日仍住在這裏，明日我打發你去。」於是 烏利亞 那日和次日住在 耶路撒冷 。
12David 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大衛 召了 烏利亞 來，叫他在自己面前吃喝，使他喝醉。到了晚上， 烏利亞 出去與他主的僕人一同住宿，還沒有回到家裏去。
13When 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次日早晨， 大衛 寫信與 約押 ，交 烏利亞 隨手帶去。
14In the morning, David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it by the hand of Uriah.
15信內寫着說：「要派 烏利亞 前進，到陣勢極險之處，你們便退後，使他被殺。」
15He 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約押 圍城的時候，知道敵人那裏有勇士，便將 烏利亞 派在那裏。
16When Joab kept watch on the city, he assigned Uriah to the place where he knew that valiant men were.
17城裏的人出來和 約押 打仗； 大衛 的僕人中有幾個被殺的， 赫 人 烏利亞 也死了。
17The 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於是， 約押 差人去將爭戰的一切事告訴 大衛 ，
18Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war;
19又囑咐使者說：「你把爭戰的一切事對王說完了，
19and he commanded the messenger, saying, “When you have finished telling all the things concerning the war to the king,
20王若發怒，問你說：『你們打仗為甚麼挨近城牆呢？豈不知敵人必從城上射箭嗎？
20it 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從前打死 耶路‧比設 兒子 亞比米勒 的是誰呢？豈不是一個婦人從城上拋下一塊上磨石來，打在他身上，他就死在 提備斯 嗎？你們為甚麼挨近城牆呢？』你就說：『王的僕人－ 赫 人 烏利亞 也死了。』」
21Who 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使者起身，來見 大衛 ，照着 約押 所吩咐他的話奏告 大衛 。
22So the messenger went, and came and showed David all that Joab had sent him for.
23使者對 大衛 說：「敵人強過我們，出到郊野與我們打仗，我們追殺他們，直到城門口。
23The 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射箭的從城上射王的僕人，射死幾個， 赫 人 烏利亞 也死了。」
24The 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王向使者說：「你告訴 約押 說：『不要因這事愁悶，刀劍或吞滅這人或吞滅那人，沒有一定的；你只管竭力攻城，將城傾覆。』可以用這話勉勵 約押 。」
25Then 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烏利亞 的妻聽見丈夫 烏利亞 死了，就為他哀哭。
26When Uriah’s wife heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she mourned for her husband.
27哀哭的日子過了， 大衛 差人將她接到宮裏，她就作了 大衛 的妻，給 大衛 生了一個兒子。但 大衛 所行的這事，耶和華甚不喜悅。
27When 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.
