1It happened, at the return of the year, at the time when kings go out, that 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.
1Saß li chihab jun chic saß li sakßehil nak eb li rey nequeßxic chi pletic, laj David quixtaklaheb chi pletic laj Joab rochbeneb li nequeßtaklan saß xbêneb li soldados joßqueb ajcuiß chixjunileb li soldados aj Israel. Queßxsach ruheb li ralal xcßajol laj Amón. Ut queßxsut rix li tenamit Rabá. Abanan laj David quicana aran Jerusalén.
2It happened at evening, that David arose from off his bed, and walked on the roof of the king’s house: and from the roof he saw a woman bathing; and the woman was very beautiful to look on.
2Saß jun li ecuu nak quicuacli chak laj David saß lix chßât, cô saß xbên li rochoch. Nak yô chi bêc aran, quiril jun li ixk yô chi atînc. Cßajoß xchßinaßusal li ixk aßan.
3David sent and inquired after the woman. One said, “Isn’t this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?”
3Laj David quixtakla xpatzßbal ani li ixk aßan. Queßxye re: —Aßan lix Betsabé, lix rabin laj Eliam ut rixakil laj Urías laj heteo.—
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.
4Laj David quixtakla xbokbal li ixk aßan. Nak quicuulac lix Betsabé, laj David quicuan riqßuin. Ut lix Betsabé quisukßi saß rochoch. (Tojeß quirakeß chixsantobresinquil rib li ixk aßan riqßuin lix yajel re li po, joß cßaynakeb xbânunquil.)
5The woman conceived; and she sent and told David, and said, “I am with child.”
5Lix Betsabé quicana chi yaj aj ixk ut quixtakla resil riqßuin laj David.
6David sent to Joab, “Send me Uriah the Hittite.” Joab sent Uriah to David.
6Laj David quixtakla xyebal re laj Joab: —Takla chak cuiqßuin laj Urías laj heteo, chan. Ut laj Joab quixtakla laj Urías riqßuin laj David.
7When Uriah had come to him, David asked of him how Joab did, and how the people fared, and how the war prospered.
7Nak laj Urías quicuulac, laj David quixye re: —¿Ma sa saß xchßôl laj Joab? ¿Ma saheb saß xchßôl li soldados? ¿Chanru yô li plêt? ¿Ma us yô chi êlc? chan.
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.
8Chirix aßan laj David quixye re: —Tatxic saß lâ cuochoch ut tathilânk caßchßinak, chan. Nak ac xcô laj Urías, laj David quixtakla li tzacaêmk saß li rochoch xcomon li naxtzaca li rey.
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.
9Abanan laj Urías incßaß cô saß rochoch. Quicana ban chi cuârc saß li oquebâl re li rochoch li rey bar nequeßcuar cuiß li soldados li nequeßcßacßalen re li rey.
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?”
10Nak laj David quirabi resil nak laj Urías incßaß cô saß rochoch, quixye re: —Lâat tojeß xatsukßi chak saß li plêt. ¿Cßaßut nak incßaß xatcôat saß lâ cuochoch? chan.
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!”
11Laj Urías quixye re: —Eb li soldados aj Israel ut eb laj Judá najt cuanqueb chak saß li plêt. Li Lokßlaj Câx cuan rochbeneb. Laj Joab li nataklan saß inbên joß eb ajcuiß li nequeßtaklan saß xbêneb li soldados yôqueb chi cuârc yal saß muhebâl yîbanbil riqßuin rukß cheß. ¿Cßaßut nak tinxic lâin saß cuochoch chi cuaßac ut chi cuânc riqßuin li cuixakil? Saß âcßabaß lâat, at rey, lâin ninye nak incßaß tinbânu aßan, chan.
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.
12Ut laj David quixye re: —Canâkat arin anakcuan. Cuulaj tatintakla cuißchic riqßuineb li soldados, chan. Joßcan nak laj Urías quicana Jerusalén saß li cutan aßan ut li cutan jun chic.
13When David had called him, he ate and drink 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.
13Laj David quixbok laj Urías chi cuaßac riqßuin ut quixcaltesi. Abanan laj Urías incßaß cô chi cuârc saß li rochoch. Quicana ban chi cuârc saß li naßajej li nequeßcuar cuiß li soldados li nequeßcßacßalen re li rochoch li rey.
14It happened in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah.
14Cuulajak chic laj David quixtzßîba jun li hu re tixtakla re laj Joab. Ut laj Urías, aßan li quicßamoc re li hu.
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.”
15Saß li hu quixye re laj Joab: —Tâqßue laj Urías chi ubej nak yôk chi cau li pletic ut tâcanab xjunes re nak tâcamsîk saß li plêt, chan.
16It happened, when Joab kept watch on the city, that he assigned Uriah to the place where he knew that valiant men were.
16Joßcan nak laj Joab nak queßxsut rix li tenamit quixqßue chi ubej laj Urías bar cuanqueb cuiß li soldados li cauheb rib chi pletic.
17The men of the city went out, and fought with Joab. Some of the people fell, even of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hittite died also.
17Saß ajcuiß li hônal aßan queßel chak li soldados li cuanqueb saß li tenamit chi pletic riqßuineb. Cuanqueb li nequeßtaklan saß xbêneb lix soldados laj David li queßcamsîc. Ut saß xyânkeb aßan quicam laj Urías laj heteo.
18Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war;
18Laj Joab quixtakla resil re laj David chanru yô li plêt.
19and he commanded the messenger, saying, “When you have finished telling all the things concerning the war to the king,
19Quixtakla lix takl ut quixye re: —Nak acak xatrakeß chixyebal re li rey chirix li plêt,
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?
20mâre li rey tâjoskßok ut tixye âcue, “¿Cßaßut nak xexnachßoc saß li tenamit chi pletic? ¿Ma incßaß ta biß nequenau nak naru teßxcut chak lix tzimaj saß xbên li tzßac?
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 dead also.’”
21¿Ma incßaß jultic êre chanru nak quicamsîc laj Abimelec li ralal laj Jerobaal? ¿Ma incßaß jultic êre chanru nak li ixk quixcut jun tokol li pec re li molino saß xbên laj Abimelec ut quixcamsi aran Tebes? ¿Cßaßut nak xexnachßoc riqßuin li tzßac?” mâre chaßak. Ut lâat tâye re, “Quicamsîc ajcuiß laj Urías laj heteo, laj cßanjel châcuu,” chaßkat re, chan laj Joab.
22So the messenger went, and came and showed David all that Joab had sent him for.
22Cô li takl ut quixserakßi re laj David chixjunil li quiyeheß re xban laj Joab.
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.
23Quixye re: —Kßaxal cauheb rib chiku lâo li xicß nequeßiloc ke. Queßel chak li tenamit chi pletic kiqßuin toj saß li cßalebâl. Abanan queßkâlina toj saß li oquebâl.
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 dead also.”
24Ut queßxcut chak eb lix tzimaj toj saß xbên li tzßac. Cuanqueb li nequeßcßanjelac châcuu li queßcamsîc. Ut quicamsîc ajcuiß laj Urías, laj heteo, laj cßanjel châcuu, chan.
25Then David said to the messenger, “Thus you shall 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.”
25Laj David quixye re li takl: —Ye re laj Joab chi joßcaßin, “Matcßoxlac chirix aßin xban nak joßcaßin nacßulman saß li plêt. Cacuubresi âchßôl. Tatpletik cuißchic riqßuin chi cau toj retal têrêchani li tenamit,” chan.
26When the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she made lamentation for her husband.
26Nak lix Betsabé quirabi resil nak quicamsîc lix bêlom saß li plêt, quirahoß saß xchßôl ut quiyâbac chirix.Nak quinumeß lix rahil xchßôl, laj David quixtakla xcßambal lix Betsabé saß rochoch. Ut lix Betsabé quicana chokß rixakil laj David. Quiyoßla jun lix cßulaßal chßina têlom. Abanan incßaß quicuulac chiru li Kâcuaß li cßaßru quixbânu laj David.
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 Yahweh.
27Nak quinumeß lix rahil xchßôl, laj David quixtakla xcßambal lix Betsabé saß rochoch. Ut lix Betsabé quicana chokß rixakil laj David. Quiyoßla jun lix cßulaßal chßina têlom. Abanan incßaß quicuulac chiru li Kâcuaß li cßaßru quixbânu laj David.
