1 Thaum rov qab chiv xyoo tshiab, yog lub caij cov vaj sawv kev rov mus ntaus rog. Das Vis tso Yuas thiab cov tub rog huv tib si mus. Lawv tua cov As Mos thiab mus vij lub tsheej Las Npas. Hos Das Vis, mas nws nyob Yes Lus Xas Les. 2 Muaj ib hnub yuav tsaus ntuj, Das Vis nyuam qhuav sawv ntawm nws lub txaj los, nws mus mus los los nyob saum txheej tsev siab, nws ntsia pom ib tug poj niam da dej. Tus poj niam ntawd zoo nkauj kawg. 3 Das Vis nug tias tus poj niam ntawd yog leej twg. Lawv teb tias : “Yog Npes Txas Npes, Es Lis tus ntxhais, uas yogUs Lis poj niam.”
1 At the return of the year, at the time when kings go out, 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. 2 At evening, David arose from his bed and walked on the roof of the king’s house. From the roof, he saw a woman bathing, and the woman was very beautiful to look at. 3 David sent and inquired after the woman. One said, “Isn’t this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, Uriah the Hittite’s wife?”
4 Ces Das Vis tso neeg mus hu Npes Txas Npes tuaj. Npes Txas Npes tuaj nrog Das Vis pw tas, ces nws rov mus tsev. 5 Tsis ntev Npes Txas Npes xeeb tub. Nws xa lus tuaj rau Das Vis tias : “Kuv xeeb tub lawm !”
4 David 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. 5 The woman conceived; and she sent and told David, and said, “I am with child.”
6 Ces Das Vis fi xov mus rau Yuas tias : “Koj xa tus His Tis hu ua Us Lis los rau kuv.” Yuas xa Us Lis rov los rau Das Vis. 7 Thaum Us Lis los txog, Das Vis nug tias Yuas nyob zoo li cas lawm, kev ntaus rog mus zoo li cas. Ces Das Vis hais rau Us Lis tias : 8 “Koj mus tsev mog ! Koj mus ntxuav taw.” Us Lis thiaj tawm hauv Das Vis lub tuam tsev mus, muaj ib tug nqa tus vaj cov paj tshab lawv Us Lis qab. 9 Tab sis Us Lis mus tsis txog tsev. Nws nrog tus vaj cov tub rog pw ntawm tus vaj lub rooj loog. 10 Muaj neeg mus qhia Das Vis tias : “Us Lis mus tsis txog tsev.” Das Vis nug Us Lis tias : “Koj twb mus tawm rooj rov los, ua cas koj mus tsis txog koj tsev ?”
6 David sent to Joab, “Send me Uriah the Hittite.” Joab sent Uriah to David. 7 When Uriah had come to him, David asked him how Joab did, and how the people fared, and how the war prospered. 8 David 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. 9 But 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. 10 When 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?”
11 Us Lis teb Das Vis tias : “Lub Xab Cog Lus thiab haiv His Xas Lais thiab cov Yus Das pw nyob hauv tsev tsam phooj xwb, hos kuv tus tswv Yuas thiab huab tais cov peeb zeej pw nraum tshav puam. Ua cas kuv tseem yuav mus hauv tsev, mus noj mov haus cawv thiab nrog kuv poj niam pw lod ? Koj muaj txoj sia, thiab kuv muaj txoj sia ! Mas kuv yuav tsis ua li ntawd ib zaug !”
11 Uriah 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!”
12 Das Vis hais rau Us Lis tias : “Hnub no koj nyob ib hnub ntawm no, tag kis kuv mam tso koj mus.” Ces hnub ntawd Us Lis nyob Yes Lus Xas Les ib hnub. 13 Tag kis, Das Vis caw nws tuaj nrog Das Vis noj mov, ces Das Vis muab cawv rau nws haus kom qaug. Hmo ntawd Us Lis tawm mus pw nraum zoov. Nws tus tswv cov peeb zeej zov nws xwb. Us Lis tsis nqes mus nram nws tsev. 14 Hnub tom qab, Das Vis sau ib tsab ntawv mus rau Yuas, nws muab rau Us Lis nqa mus. 15 Nyob hauv tsab ntawv nws hais rau Yuas tias : “Nej muab Us Lis mus rau hauv qhov chaw uas rog ceev tshaj tej, nej cia nws mus xwb, nej sawv daws thaub rov qab. Nej cia lawv tua nws kom nws tuag.”
12 David 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. 13 When David had called him, he ate and drank 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. 14 In the morning, David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it by the hand of Uriah. 15 He 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.”
16 Yuas coj nws pab tub rog mus vij lub nroog, nws muab Us Lis tshem mus rau ntawm qhov chaw uas nws paub tias muaj cov tub rog siab loj. 17 Cov neeg nyob hauv nroog tawm tuaj ntaus Yuas. Cov tub rog His Xas Lais tuag ntau leej, Das Vis cov peeb zeej kuj tuag ob peb leeg. Us Lis, tus His Tis, kuj tuag thiab.
16 When Joab kept watch on the city, he assigned Uriah to the place where he knew that valiant men were. 17 The men of the city went out and fought with Joab. Some of the people fell, even of David’s servants; and Uriah the Hittite died also. 18 Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war; 19 and he commanded the messenger, saying, “When you have finished telling all the things concerning the war to the king, 20 it 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? 21 Who 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 also dead.’ ”
22 So the messenger went, and came and showed David all that Joab had sent him for. 23 The 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. 24 The 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 also dead.”
25 Then David said to the messenger, “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.”
26 When Uriah’s wife heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she mourned for her husband. 27 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 Yahweh.
