¹And it came to pass, at the return of the year, at the time when kings go forth, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they laid waste the [land of the] children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David abode at Jerusalem.

¹A stalo sa po roku, o čase, keď vychádzavajú kráľovia do vojny, že poslal Dávid Joába a svojich služobníkov s ním i celého Izraela, ktorí potom hubili synov Ammonových a obľahli Rabbu. Ale Dávid zostal v Jeruzaleme.

²And it came to pass at evening time that David arose from off his couch, 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;

²A stalo sa jedného dňa po čas večera, že Dávid vstal so svojej postele a prechádzal sa na postreší domu kráľovho a videl s postrešia ženu, ktorá sa umývala. A žena bola veľmi pekná čo do postavy a tvári.

³and David sent and inquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Urijah the Hittite?

³A Dávid poslal posla a pýtal sa na tú ženu. A ktosi povedal: Či nie je to Bat-šeba, dcéra Eliamova, žena Uriáša Hetejského?

⁴And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in to him, and he lay with her; and she had purified herself from her uncleanness; and she returned to her house.

⁴Vtedy poslal Dávid poslov a vzal ju, a keď vošla k nemu, ležal s ňou. A ona sa bola práve očistila od svojej nečistoty. A navrátila sa do svojho domu.

⁵And the woman conceived, and sent and told David, and said, I am with child.

⁵A žena otehotnela a preto pošlúc oznámila to Dávidovi a riekla: Som tehotná.

⁶And David sent to Joab [saying], Send me Urijah the Hittite. And Joab sent Urijah to David.

⁶Vtedy poslal Dávid k Joábovi s odkazom: Pošli ku mne Uriáša Hetejského. A Joáb poslal Uriáša k Dávidovi.

⁷And when Urijah had come to him, David asked how Joab prospered, and how the people prospered, and how the war prospered.

⁷A tak prišiel Uriáš k nemu. A Dávid sa pýtal, ako sa má Joáb, ako sa má ľud, a jako sa darí vojna?

⁸And David said to Urijah, Go down to thy house and wash thy feet. And Urijah departed out of the king's house, and there followed him presents from the king.

⁸A potom riekol Dávid Uriášovi: Iď dolu do svojho domu a umy si nohy. A keď vyšiel Uriáš z domu kráľovho, vyšiel za ním dar kráľov.

⁹And Urijah slept at the entrance of the king's house with all the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.

⁹Ale Uriáš ležal pri dveriach, pri vchode do domu kráľovho so všetkými služobníkmi svojho pána a neodišiel dolu do svojho domu.

¹⁰And they had told David saying, Urijah did not go down to his house; and David said to Urijah, Art thou not come from a journey? why didst thou not go down to thy house?

¹⁰Vtedy oznámili Dávidovi a riekli: Uriáš neodišiel dolu do svojho domu: A Dávid riekol Uriášovi: Či si neprišiel z cesty? Prečo si neodišiel dolu do svojho domu?

¹¹And Urijah said to 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 fields: 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.

¹¹A Uriáš povedal Dávidovi: Truhla Božia a Izrael i Júda bývajú v stánoch, i môj pán Joáb ako aj služobníci môjho pána táboria na poli, a ja by som mal vojsť do svojho domu, aby som jedol a pil a ležal so svojou ženou? Jako že žiješ, a jako žije tvoja duša, neučiním tej veci.

¹²And David said to Urijah, Abide here to-day also, and to-morrow I will let thee depart. And Urijah abode in Jerusalem that day and the morrow.

¹²Vtedy riekol Dávid Uriášovi: Zostaň tu i dnes, a zajtra ťa prepustím. A tak zostal Uriáš v Jeruzaleme toho dňa i nasledujúceho dňa.

¹³And David invited him, and he ate and drank before him; and he made him drunk. And in the evening he went out to lie on his couch with the servants of his lord, but did not go down to his house.

¹³A keď ho pozval Dávid, jedol pred ním a pil a opojil ho. Ale večer vyšiel ľahnúť si na svoje ležište so služobníkmi svojho pána, a neodišiel dolu do svojho domu.

¹⁴And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by Urijah.

¹⁴Potom ráno sa stalo, že Dávid napísal Joábovi list a poslal ho po Uriášovi.

¹⁵And he wrote in the letter saying, Set Urijah in the front of the thickest fight, and withdraw from him, that he may be smitten and die.

¹⁵A v tom liste napísal toto: Postavte Uriáša dopredu ta, kde je boj najtuhší, a potom ustúpte zpät od neho, aby bol uderený a aby zomrel.

¹⁶And it came to pass as Joab watched the city, that he assigned Urijah to a place where he knew that the valiant men were.

¹⁶A stalo sa, keď obliehajúc strážil Joáb mesto, že postavil Uriáša na miesto, o ktorom vedel, že sú tam silní mužovia.

¹⁷And the men of the city went out and fought with Joab; and there fell some of the people, of the servants of David; and Urijah the Hittite died also.

¹⁷A keď vyšli mužovia mesta a bojovali proti Joábovi, vtedy padlo niekoľko mužov z ľudu, zo služobníkov Dávidových, a zomrel aj Uriáš Hetejský.

¹⁸Then Joab sent and told David all the matters of the war;

¹⁸Potom poslal Joáb posla a oznámil Dávidovi všetko, čo sa týkalo vojny.

¹⁹and charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast ended telling the matters of the war to the king,

¹⁹A prikázal poslovi a riekol: Keď dopovieš kráľovi všetko o vojne,

²⁰and if so be that the king's wrath arise, and he say to thee, Why did ye go so near to the city to fight? did ye not know that they would shoot from the wall?

²⁰a bude, ak vzplanie prchlivosť kráľova, a povie ti: Prečo ste sa priblížili k mestu, aby ste tam bojovali? Či neviete, že strieľajú s múru?

²¹Who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? did not a woman cast the upper stone of a handmill from the wall, that he died in Thebez? why did ye go near the wall? -- then say thou, Thy servant Urijah the Hittite is dead also.

²¹Ktože zabil Abimelecha, syna Jerubbešetovho? Či to nebola žena, ktorá hodila na neho kus žernova s múru, a zomrel v Tébeci? Prečo ste sa tedy priblížili k múru? Vtedy povieš. Aj tvoj služobník, Uriáš Hetejský, zomrel.

²²And the messenger went; and he came and told David all that Joab had sent him for.

²²A tak odišiel posol a prijdúc oznámil Dávidovi všetko, pre čo ho poslal Joáb.

²³And the messenger said to David, The men prevailed against us, and came out against us into the field, and we were upon them as far as the entrance of the gate.

²³A posol povedal Dávidovi: Premohli nás tí mužovia a vyšli proti nám na pole, ale my sme potom útočili na nich až po vchod do brány.

²⁴And the shooters shot from upon the wall against thy servants; and some of the king's servants are dead, and thy servant Urijah the Hittite is dead also.

²⁴No, vtedy strelili strelci do tvojich služobníkov s múru, a zomreli niektorí zo služobníkov kráľových, aj tvoj služobník Uriáš Hetejský zomrel.

²⁵Then David said to the messenger, Thus shalt thou say to Joab: Let not this thing displease thee, for the sword devours one as well as another: make thy battle strong against the city, and overthrow it; -- and encourage him.

²⁵Vtedy riekol Dávid poslovi: Takto povieš Joábovi: Nech nie je tá vec zlá v tvojich očiach, a nech ťa to netrápi, lebo meč žerie raz toho a raz toho. Zosilni svoj boj proti mestu a rozbor ho! A dodaj mu sily.

²⁶And the wife of Urijah heard that Urijah her husband was dead, and she mourned for her husband.

²⁶A keď počula žena Uriášova, že zomrel Uriáš, jej muž, smútila nad svojím manželom.

²⁷And when the mourning was past, David sent and fetched her 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 Jehovah.

²⁷A keď pominul smútok, poslal Dávid po ňu a vzal ju do svojho domu, a bola mu ženou. A porodila mu syna. Ale vec, ktorú vykonal Dávid, bola zlá v očiach Hospodinových.
