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.
1In ko je preteklo leto, ob času, ko hodijo kralji ven na boj, pošlje David Joaba in hlapce svoje ž njim in vsega Izraela; in opustošili so deželo Amonovih sinov in oblegali Rabo. David pa je ostal v Jeruzalemu.
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.
2In zgodi se proti večeru, ko je vstal David iz postelje in se je izprehajal po strehi kraljeve hiše, da je videl s strehe ženo, ki se je kopala. Žena pa je bila silno lepega lica.
3David sent and inquired after the woman. One said, “Isn’t this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?”
3In David pošlje in vpraša po tisti ženi. In nekdo reče: Ni li Batseba, hči Eliamova, žena Urija Hetejca?
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.
4In David pošlje tja sle in jo da pripeljati. In pride k njemu, in on je spal pri njej. In ko se je očistila nečistote svoje, se vrne v hišo svojo.
5The woman conceived; and she sent and told David, and said, “I am with child.”
5In žena je spočela; in pošlje ter oznani Davidu, rekoč: Spočela sem.
6David sent to Joab, “Send me Uriah the Hittite.” Joab sent Uriah to David.
6In David sporoči Joabu: Pošlji mi Urija Hetejca! In Joab pošlje Urija k Davidu.
7When Uriah had come to him, David asked of him how Joab did, and how the people fared, and how the war prospered.
7In ko pride Urija k njemu, ga vpraša David, kako se godi Joabu in ljudstvu ter kako napreduje vojska.
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.
8In David veli Uriju: Pojdi doli v hišo svojo in umij si noge! In Urija odide iz kraljeve hiše, in za njim pride kraljevo darilo.
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.
9Ali Urija je spal pred vrati kraljeve hiše z vsemi hlapci gospoda svojega in ni šel doli v hišo svojo.
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?”
10In ko so povedali Davidu: Urija ni šel doli v hišo svojo, reče David Uriju: Nisi li prišel s pota? Zakaj nisi stopil doli v hišo svojo?
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!”
11Urija pa odgovori Davidu: Skrinja in Izrael in Juda bivajo v šatorih, in Joab, gospod moj, in gospoda mojega hlapci tabore na polju, in jaz naj bi šel v hišo svojo, da jem in pijem in spim pri ženi svoji? Kakor res živiš in kakor živi duša tvoja, tega ne storim!
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.
12In David veli Uriju: Ostani tu še danes, jutri te odpošljem! Tako je ostal Urija v Jeruzalemu tisti in naslednji dan.
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.
13In David ga povabi, da bi jedel in pil pred njim, in ga upijani; ali on gre zvečer ven leč na ležišče svoje s hlapci gospoda svojega, in ni šel doli v hišo svojo.
14It happened in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah.
14Zjutraj pa napiše David list Joabu in ga pošlje po Uriju.
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.”
15V list pa napiše takole: Postavite Urija prvega tja, kjer je bitka najhujša, in umeknite se od njega, da ga udarijo in umre.
16It happened, when Joab kept watch on the city, that he assigned Uriah to the place where he knew that valiant men were.
16Ko je torej Joab obkolil mesto, postavi Urija na mesto, za katero je vedel, da so tam junaški možje.
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.
17In možje planejo iz mesta in se bojujejo z Joabom, in padejo nekateri iz ljudstva, iz hlapcev Davidovih, tudi Urija Hetejec umrje.
18Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war;
18Nato pošlje Joab in naznani Davidu vse, kar se je v boju prigodilo,
19and he commanded the messenger, saying, “When you have finished telling all the things concerning the war to the king,
19in zapove slu, rekoč: Ko kralju dopoveš vse, kar se je v boju zgodilo,
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?
20in boš videl, da se razsrdi in ti poreče: Zakaj ste tako blizu pristopili k mestu, da se bojujete? Niste li vedeli, da bodo z ozidja doli streljali?
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.’”
21Kdo je ubil Abimeleka, sina Jerub-besetovega [Sodn. se imenuje Jerub-baal.]? ni li vrgla žena zgornjega mlinskega kamena nanj z obzidja, da je umrl v Tebezu? Zakaj ste pristopili tako blizu zidovja? – tedaj reci: Hlapec tvoj, Urija Hetejec, je tudi mrtev.
22So the messenger went, and came and showed David all that Joab had sent him for.
22Šel je torej sel, in pride in oznani Davidu vse, kar mu je sporočil 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.
23In reče sel Davidu: Možje so bili močnejši nego mi in so planili nad nas na polje, mi pa smo jih potisnili nazaj do vhoda v mestna vrata.
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.”
24In strelci so streljali na hlapce tvoje z obzidja, da so umrli nekateri hlapcev kraljevih, in hlapec tvoj, Urija Hetejec, je tudi mrtev.
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.”
25David reče slu: Reci Joabu: Naj se ti ne zdi prehuda ta reč, zakaj meč požre zdaj tega, zdaj onega; vztrajaj le v boju zoper mesto in ga razdeni! S tem ga ohrabri!
26When the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she made lamentation for her husband.
26Ko pa je slišala žena Urijeva, da je umrl Urija, njen mož, je žalovala po svojem soprogu.In ko je minilo žalovanje, pošlje David in jo vzame v hišo svojo, in je postala žena njegova in mu je rodila sina. Ali reč, ki jo je bil David storil, je bila huda v očeh GOSPODOVIH.
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.
27In ko je minilo žalovanje, pošlje David in jo vzame v hišo svojo, in je postala žena njegova in mu je rodila sina. Ali reč, ki jo je bil David storil, je bila huda v očeh GOSPODOVIH.
