2 Samuel 11
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1And it came to pass, at the return of the year, at the time when kings go out 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 at Jerusalem.
1过了一年，到列王出战的时候， 大卫 又差派 约押 ，率领臣仆和 以色列 众人出 战 。他们就打败 亚扪 人，围攻 拉巴 。 大卫 仍住在 耶路撒冷 。
2And it came to pass at eventide, 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 bathing; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon.
2一日，太阳平西， 大卫 从床上起来，在王宫的平顶上游行，看见一个妇人沐浴，容貌甚美，
3And David sent and inquired after the woman. And one said: 'Is not this Bath-sheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?'
3大卫 就差人打听那妇人是谁。有人说：「她是 以连 的女儿， 赫 人 乌利亚 的妻 拔示巴 。」
4And 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.
4大卫 差人去，将妇人接来；那时她的月经才得洁净。她来了， 大卫 与她同房，她就回家去了。
5And the woman conceived; and she sent and told David, and said: 'I am with child.'
5于是她怀了孕，打发人去告诉 大卫 说：「我怀了孕。」
6And David sent to Joab, saying: 'Send me Uriah the Hittite.' And Joab sent Uriah to David.
6大卫 差人到 约押 那里， 说 ：「你打发 赫 人 乌利亚 到我这里来。」 约押 就打发 乌利亚 去见 大卫 。
7And when Uriah was come unto him, David asked of him how Joab did, and how the people fared, and how the war prospered.
7乌利亚 来了， 大卫 问 约押 好，也问兵好，又问争战的事怎样。
8And 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 food from the king.
8大卫 对 乌利亚 说：「你回家去，洗洗脚吧！」 乌利亚 出了王宫，随后王送他一分 食 物。
9But Uriah slept at the door of the king's house with all the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.
9乌利亚 却和他主人的仆人一同睡在宫门外，没有回家去。
10And when they had told David, saying: 'Uriah went not down unto his house', David said unto Uriah: 'Art thou not come from a journey? wherefore didst thou not go down unto thy house?'
10有人告诉 大卫 说：「 乌利亚 没有回家去。」 大卫 就问 乌利亚 说：「你从远路上来，为什么不回家去呢？」
11And Uriah said unto David: 'The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in booths; 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 thou livest, and as thy soul liveth, I will not do this thing.'
11乌利亚 对 大卫 说：「 约 柜和 以色列 与 犹大 兵都住在棚里，我主 约押 和我主的仆人都在田野安营，我岂可回家吃喝、与妻子同寝呢？我敢在王面前起誓：我决不行这事！」
12And 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.
12大卫 吩咐 乌利亚 说：「你今日仍住在这里，明日我打发你去。」于是 乌利亚 那日和次日住在 耶路撒冷 。
13And 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.
13大卫 召了 乌利亚 来，叫他在自己面前吃喝，使他喝醉。到了晚上， 乌利亚 出去与他主的仆人一同住宿，还没有回到家里去。
14And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah.
14次日早晨， 大卫 写信与 约押 ，交 乌利亚 随手带去。
15And 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.'
15信内写着说：「要派 乌利亚 前进，到阵势极险之处，你们便退后，使他被杀。」
16And it came to pass, when Joab kept watch upon the city, that he assigned Uriah unto the place where he knew that valiant men were.
16约押 围城的时候，知道敌人那里有勇士，便将 乌利亚 派在那里。
17And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab; and there fell some of the people, even of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hittite died also.
17城里的人出来和 约押 打仗； 大卫 的仆人中有几个被杀的， 赫 人 乌利亚 也死了。
18Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war;
18于是， 约押 差人去将争战的一切事告诉 大卫 ，
19and he charged the messenger, saying: 'When thou hast made an end of telling all the things concerning the war unto the king,
19又嘱咐使者说：「你把争战的一切事对王说完了，
20it shall be that, if the king's wrath arise, and he say unto thee: Wherefore went ye so nigh unto the city to fight? knew ye not that they would shoot from the wall?
20王若发怒，问你说：『你们打仗为什么挨近城墙呢？岂不知敌人必从城上射箭吗？
21who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? did not a woman cast an upper millstone upon him from the wall, that he died at Thebez? why went ye so nigh the wall? then shalt thou say: Thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.'
21从前打死 耶路·比设 儿子 亚比米勒 的是谁呢？岂不是一个妇人从城上抛下一块上磨石来，打在他身上，他就死在 提备斯 吗？你们为什么挨近城墙呢？』你就说：『王的仆人— 赫 人 乌利亚 也死了。』」
22So the messenger went, and came and told David all that Joab had sent him for.
22使者起身，来见 大卫 ，照着 约押 所吩咐他的话奏告 大卫 。
23And the messenger said unto David: 'The men prevailed against us, and came out unto us into the field, and we were upon them even unto the entrance of the gate.
23使者对 大卫 说：「敌人强过我们，出到郊野与我们打仗，我们追杀他们，直到城门口。
24And the shooters shot at thy servants from off the wall; and some of the king's servants are dead, and thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.'
24射箭的从城上射王的仆人，射死几个， 赫 人 乌利亚 也死了。」
25Then David said unto the messenger: 'Thus shalt thou say unto Joab: Let not this thing displease thee, for the sword devoureth in one manner or another; make thy battle more strong against the city, and overthrow it; and encourage thou him.'
25王向使者说：「你告诉 约押 说：『不要因这事愁闷，刀剑或吞灭这人或吞灭那人，没有一定的；你只管竭力攻城，将城倾覆。』可以用这话勉励 约押 。」
26And when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she made lamentation for her husband.
26乌利亚 的妻听见丈夫 乌利亚 死了，就为他哀哭。
27And 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 the LORD.
27哀哭的日子过了， 大卫 差人将她接到宫里，她就作了 大卫 的妻，给 大卫 生了一个儿子。但 大卫 所行的这事，耶和华甚不喜悦。
