2 Samuel 11

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 At the turn of the year, when kings go out on campaign, David sent out Joab along with his officers and the army of Israel, and they ravaged the Ammonites and besieged Rabbah. David, however, remained in Jerusalem.	1 وكان عند تمام السنة في وقت خروج الملوك ان داود ارسل يوآب وعبيده معه وجميع اسرائيل فاخربوا بني عمون وحاصروا ربّة. واما داود فاقام في اورشليم.
2 One evening David rose from his siesta and strolled about on the roof of the palace. From the roof he saw a woman bathing, who was very beautiful.	2 وكان في وقت المساء ان داود قام عن سريره وتمشى على سطح بيت الملك فرأى من على السطح امرأة تستحمّ. وكانت المرأة جميلة المنظر جدا.
3 David had inquiries made about the woman and was told, "She is Bathsheba, daughter of Eliam, and wife of (Joab's armor-bearer) Uriah the Hittite."	3 فارسل داود وسأل عن المرأة فقال واحد أليست هذه بثشبع بنت اليعام امرأة اوريا الحثّي.
4 Then David sent messengers and took her. When she came to him, he had relations with her, at a time when she was just purified after her monthly period. She then returned to her house.	4 فارسل داود رسلا واخذها فدخلت اليه فاضطجع معها وهي مطهّرة من طمثها. ثم رجعت الى بيتها.
5 But the woman had conceived, and sent the information to David, "I am with child."	5 وحبلت المرأة فارسلت واخبرت داود وقالت اني حبلى.
6 David therefore sent a message to Joab, "Send me Uriah the Hittite." So Joab sent Uriah to David.	6 فارسل داود الى يوآب يقول ارسل اليّ اوريا الحثي. فارسل يوآب اوريا الى داود.
7 When he came, David questioned him about Joab, the soldiers, and how the war was going, and Uriah answered that all was well.	7 فأتى اوريا اليه فسأل داود عن سلامة يوآب وسلامة الشعب ونجاح الحرب.
8 David then said to Uriah, "Go down to your house and bathe your feet." Uriah left the palace, and a portion was sent out after him from the king's table.	8 وقال داود لاوريا انزل الى بيتك واغسل رجليك. فخرج اوريا من بيت الملك وخرجت وراءه حصة من عند الملك.
9 But Uriah slept at the entrance of the royal palace with the other officers of his lord, and did not go down to his own house.	9 ونام اوريا على باب بيت الملك مع جميع عبيد سيده ولم ينزل الى بيته.
10 David was told that Uriah had not gone home. So he said to Uriah, "Have you not come from a journey? Why, then, did you not go down to your house?"	10 فاخبروا داود قائلين لم ينزل اوريا الى بيته. فقال داود لاوريا اما جئت من السفر. فلماذا لم تنزل الى بيتك.
11 Uriah answered David, "The ark and Israel and Judah are lodged in tents, and my lord Joab and your majesty's servants are encamped in the open field. Can I go home to eat and to drink and to sleep with my wife? As the LORD lives and as you live, I will do no such thing."	11 فقال اوريا لداود ان التابوت واسرائيل ويهوذا ساكنون في الخيام وسيدي يوآب وعبيد سيدي نازلون على وجه الصحراء وانا آتي الى بيتي لآكل واشرب واضطجع مع امرأتي. وحياتك وحياة نفسك لا افعل هذا الامر.
12 Then David said to Uriah, "Stay here today also, I shall dismiss you tomorrow." So Uriah remained in Jerusalem that day. On the day following,	12 فقال داود لاوريا اقم هنا اليوم ايضا وغدا اطلقك. فاقام اوريا في اورشليم ذلك اليوم وغده.
13 David summoned him, and he ate and drank with David, who made him drunk. But in the evening he went out to sleep on his bed among his lord's servants, and did not go down to his home.	13 ودعاه داود فاكل امامه وشرب واسكره. وخرج عند المساء ليضطجع في مضجعه مع عبيد سيده والى بيته لم ينزل
14 The next morning David wrote a letter to Joab which he sent by Uriah.	14 وفي الصباح كتب داود مكتوبا الى يوآب وارسله بيد اوريا.
15 In it he directed: "Place Uriah up front, where the fighting is fierce. Then pull back and leave him to be struck down dead."	15 وكتب في المكتوب يقول. اجعلوا اوريا في وجه الحرب الشديدة وارجعوا من ورائه فيضرب ويموت.
16 So while Joab was besieging the city, he assigned Uriah to a place where he knew the defenders were strong.	16 وكان في محاصرة يوآب المدينة انه جعل اوريا في الموضع الذي علم ان رجال البأس فيه.
17 When the men of the city made a sortie against Joab, some officers of David's army fell, and among them Uriah the Hittite died.	17 فخرج رجال المدينة وحاربوا يوآب فسقط بعض الشعب من عبيد داود ومات اوريا الحثّي ايضا.
18 Then Joab sent David a report of all the details of the battle,	18 فارسل يوآب واخبر داود بجميع امور الحرب.
19 instructing the messenger, "When you have finished giving the king all the details of the battle,	19 واوصى الرسول قائلا عندما تفرغ من الكلام مع الملك عن جميع امور الحرب
20 the king may become angry and say to you: 'Why did you go near the city to fight? Did you not know that they would shoot from the wall above?	20 فان اشتعل غضب الملك وقال لك لماذا دنوتم من المدينة للقتال. اما علمتم انهم يرمون من على السور.
21 Who killed Abimelech, son of Jerubbaal? Was it not a woman who threw a millstone down on him from the wall above, so that he died in Thebez? Why did you go near the wall?' Then you in turn shall say, 'Your servant Uriah the Hittite is also dead.'"	21 من قتل ابيمالك بن يربوشث. ألم ترمه امرأة بقطعة رحى من على السور فمات في تاباص. لماذا دنوتم من السور. فقل قد مات عبدك اوريا الحثي ايضا
22 The messenger set out, and on his arrival he relayed to David all the details as Joab had instructed him.	22 فذهب الرسول ودخل واخبر داود بكل ما ارسله فيه يوآب.
23 He told David: "The men had us at a disadvantage and came out into the open against us, but we pushed them back to the entrance of the city gate.	23 وقال الرسول لداود قد تجبر علينا القوم وخرجوا الينا الى الحقل فكنا عليهم الى مدخل الباب.
24 Then the archers shot at your servants from the wall above, and some of the king's servants died, among them your servant Uriah."	24 فرمى الرماة عبيدك من على السور فمات البعض من عبيد الملك ومات عبدك اوريا الحثي ايضا.
25 David said to the messenger: "This is what you shall convey to Joab: 'Do not be chagrined at this, for the sword devours now here and now there. Strengthen your attack on the city and destroy it.' Encourage him."	25 فقال داود للرسول هكذا تقول ليوآب. لا يسوء في عينيك هذا الامر لان السيف ياكل هذا وذاك. شدد قتالك على المدينة واخربها. وشدّده
26 When the wife of Uriah heard that her husband had died, she mourned her lord.	26 فلما سمعت امرأة اوريا انه قد مات اوريا رجلها ندبت بعلها.
27 But once the mourning was over, David sent for her and brought her into his house. She became his wife and bore him a son. But the LORD was displeased with what David had done.	27 ولما مضت المناحة ارسل داود وضمها الى بيته وصارت له امرأة وولدت له ابنا. واما الامر الذي فعله داود فقبح في عيني الرب
