1Kum a thok tih manghai a thoh tue vaengah David loh Joab neh a taengkah a sal rhoek, Israel pum te a tueih tih Ammon ca rhoek te a thup. Te vaengah Rabbah khaw a dum uh dae David tah Jerusalem ah om.
1In the spring, at the time when kings march out to war, David sent out Joab and his servants with the whole army of Israel. They destroyed the Ammonites and besieged Rabbah, but David remained in Jerusalem.
2Kholaeh tue a pha vaengah David tah a thingkong lamloh thoo tih manghai im kah imphu ah cet. Te vaengah huta pakhat tui a hluk te imphu lamloh a hmuh. Tekah huta te a mueimae bahoeng then.
2One evening David got up from his bed and strolled around on the roof of the palace. And from the roof he saw a woman bathing—a very beautiful woman.
3David loh hlang a tueih tih huta te a cae vaengah tah, “Eliam nu Bathsheba pawt nim ke, Khitti Uriah yuu la ke,” a ti nah.
3So David sent and inquired about the woman, and he was told, “This is Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam and the wife of Uriah the Hittite.”
4Te dongah David loh puencawn a tueih tih anih te a loh phai. Te phoeiah amah taengla ha pawk vaengah huta te vik a yalh puei. Te phoeiah huta loh a tihnai lamloh a ciim tih amah im la mael.
4Then David sent messengers to get her, and when she came to him, he slept with her. (Now she had just purified herself from her uncleanness.) Then she returned home.
5Tedae huta te a vawn vaengah ol a tah tih David taengla puen. Te vaengah kai ka vawn coeng,” a ti nah.
5And the woman conceived and sent word to David, saying, “I am pregnant.”
6Te dongah David loh Joab taengah ol a tah tih, “Khitti Uriah te kai taengla han tueih,” a ti nah vanbangla Joab loh Uriah te David taengla a tueih.
6At this, David sent orders to Joab: “Send me Uriah the Hittite.” So Joab sent him to David.
7A taengla Uriah a pawk vaengah David loh Joab kah sading kawng, pilnam kah sading kawng, caem kah sading kawng te a dawt.
7When Uriah came to him, David asked how Joab and the troops were doing with the war.
8Te phoeiah David loh Uriah te, “Na im te suntla lamtah na kho yuut laeh,” a ti nah. Te vanbangla manghai im lamloh Uriah a nong neh a hnukah manghai kah buham loh a vai.
8Then he said to Uriah, “Go down to your house and wash your feet.” So Uriah left the palace, and a gift from the king followed him.
9Tedae Uriah tah a boei rhoek kah sal tom neh manghai im kah thohka ah yalh tih amah im la suntla pawh.
9But Uriah slept at the door of the palace with all his master’s servants; he did not go down to his house.
10Te vaengah David taengla puen uh tih, “Uriah te amah im la a suntlak moenih,” a ti na uh. Te dongah David loh Uriah te, “Yiin lamkah na pawk moenih a? Balae tih na im te na paan pawh,” a ti nah.
10And David was told, “Uriah did not go home.” “Haven’t you just arrived from a journey?” David asked Uriah. “Why didn’t you go home?”
11Uriah loh David taengah, “Thingkawng khaw, Israel neh Judah khaw, dungtlungim ah aka om khaw, ka boeipa Joab neh ka boeipa kah a sal rhoek khaw, khohmuen hoeng ah rhaeh uh. Te vaengah kai loh kamah im ah caak ham neh ok hamla, ka yuu taengah yalh hamla, ka cet aya? Na hingnah neh na hinglu kah hingnah dongah hekah olka he tah ka rhoi mahpawh,” a ti nah.
11Uriah answered, “The ark and Israel and Judah are dwelling in tents, and my master Joab and his soldiers are camped in the open field. How can I go to my house to eat and drink and sleep with my wife? As surely as you live, and as your soul lives, I will not do such a thing!”
12David loh Uriah te, “Hnin at khaw he ah om dae lamtah thangvuen ah kan tueih eh?,” a ti nah. Te dongah Uriah khaw tekah khohnin neh a vuen ah tah Jerusalem ah kho a sak.
12“Stay here one more day,” David said to Uriah, “and tomorrow I will send you back.” So Uriah stayed in Jerusalem that day and the next.
13Te phoeiah anih te David loh a khue. A mikhmuh ah buh a cah tih a rhuihmil la a ok sak. Tedae kholaeh ah tah cet tih a boei kah sal rhoek taengah amah kah thingkong dongah yalh. Te dongah amah im te paan pawh.
13Then David invited Uriah to eat and drink with him, and he got Uriah drunk. And in the evening Uriah went out to lie down on his cot with his master’s servants, but he did not go home.
14Mincang a pha vaengah David loh Joab ham caa a daek pah tih Uriah kut ah a pat.
14The next morning David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it with Uriah.
15Ca dongah a daek pah tih, “Uriah te caemtloek tlungluen hmai ah khueh lamtah a hnuk lamloh mael tak, te vaengah ngawn uh saeh lamtah duek saeh,” a ti nah.
15In the letter he wrote: “Put Uriah at the front of the fiercest battle; then withdraw from him, so that he may be struck down and killed.”
16Joab loh khopuei te a om thil tih a dawn vaengah tatthai hlang rhoek om nah te a ming. Te dongah te hmuen ah te Uriah a khueh.
16So as Joab besieged the city, he assigned Uriah to a place where he saw the strongest enemy soldiers.
17Khopuei hlang rhoek ha pawk uh tih Joab te a vathoh hatah David sal lamkah pilnam te cungku tih Khitti Uriah khaw duek.
17And when the men of the city came out and fought against Joab, some of David’s servants fell, and Uriah the Hittite also died.
18Te phoeiah Joab loh hlang a tueih tih caemtloek vaengkah olka boeih te David taengla a yaak sak.
18Joab sent to David a full account of the battle
19Puencawn te a uen tih, “Caemtloek vaengkah olka boeih manghai taengah thui pah ham te na khah vaengah,
19and instructed the messenger, “When you have finished giving the king all the details of the battle,
20manghai kah a kosi te phuet tih namah te, “Vathoh ham te balae tih khopuei la na thoeih? Vongtung dong lamloh ng'kah ni tila na ming uh moenih a?
20if the king’s anger flares, he may ask you, ‘Why did you get so close to the city to fight? Did you not realize they would shoot from atop the wall?
21Jerubbesheth capa Abimelek aka ngawn te unim? Vongtung dong lamkah sumngol phaklung neh anih aka dae te huta moenih a? Te dongah ni anih te Thebez ah a duek. Balae tih vongtung la na thoeih uh,’ a ti mai ni. Te vaengah, 'Na sal Khitti Uriah khaw duek coeng,’ ti nah,” a ti nah.
21Who was the one to strike Abimelech son of Jerubbesheth ? Was it not a woman who dropped an upper millstone on him from the wall, so that he died in Thebez? Why did you get so close to the wall?’ If so, then you are to say, ‘Your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead as well.’”
22Te dongah puencawn te cet tih a pha vaengah Joab loh anih a tueih te David taengah boeih a thui pah.
22So the messenger set out and reported to David all that Joab had sent him to say.
23Te vaengah puencawn loh David taengah, “Kaimih te hlang loh ng'et tih khohmuen ah kaimih taengla ha thoeng uh. Tedae amih te vongka thohka ah ka mah uh.
23The messenger said to David, “The men overpowered us and came out against us in the field, but we drove them back to the entrance of the gate.
24A kah uh thae vaengah na sal rhoek te vongtung dong lamkah lipom loh a kah, a kah tih manghai kah sal rhoek te duek. Te vaengah na sal Khitti Uriah khaw duek,” a ti nah.
24Then the archers shot at your servants from the wall, and some of the king’s servants were killed. And your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead as well.”
25David loh puencawn te, “Joab taengah thui pah, tahae kah olka he na mik ah lolh sak boeh, khat khat ngawn tah cunghang loh a yoop rhuem, na caemtloek neh khopuei te namning thil lamtah koengloeng laeh,” a ti nah tih anih te a thaphoh.
25Then David told the messenger, “Say this to Joab: ‘Do not let this matter upset you, for the sword devours one as well as another. Strengthen your attack against the city and demolish it.’ Encourage him with these words.”
26Uriah kah a yuu loh a va Uriah a duek te a yaak vaengah a boei te a rhaengsae.
26When Uriah’s wife heard that her husband was dead, she mourned for him.
27Nguekcoinah te a poeng vaengah David loh a tah tih amah im la a det. Te dongah anih yuu la pahoi om tih ca tongpa a cun pah. Tedae David loh BOEIPA kah mikhmuh ah a saii te khoboe thae ni a huet.
27And when the time of mourning was over, David had her brought to his house, and she became his wife and bore him a son. But the thing that David had done was evil in the sight of the LORD.
