撒母耳記下 11
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
大衛干罪
11 過了一年,到列王出戰的時候,大衛又差派約押,率領臣僕和以色列眾人出戰。他們就打敗亞捫人,圍攻拉巴。大衛仍住在耶路撒冷。
2 一日,太陽平西,大衛從床上起來,在王宮的平頂上遊行,看見一個婦人沐浴,容貌甚美。 3 大衛就差人打聽那婦人是誰,有人說:「她是以連的女兒,赫人烏利亞的妻拔示巴。」 4 大衛差人去,將婦人接來,那時她的月經才得潔淨。她來了,大衛與她同房,她就回家去了。 5 於是她懷了孕,打發人去告訴大衛說:「我懷了孕。」
6 大衛差人到約押那裡,說:「你打發赫人烏利亞到我這裡來。」約押就打發烏利亞去見大衛。 7 烏利亞來了,大衛問約押好,也問兵好,又問爭戰的事怎樣。 8 大衛對烏利亞說:「你回家去,洗洗腳吧!」烏利亞出了王宮,隨後王送他一份食物。 9 烏利亞卻和他主人的僕人一同睡在宮門外,沒有回家去。 10 有人告訴大衛說:「烏利亞沒有回家去。」大衛就問烏利亞說:「你從遠路上來,為什麼不回家去呢?」 11 烏利亞對大衛說:「約櫃和以色列與猶大兵都住在棚裡,我主約押和我主[a]的僕人都在田野安營,我豈可回家吃喝,與妻子同寢呢?我敢在王面前起誓[b]:我決不行這事!」 12 大衛吩咐烏利亞說:「你今日仍住在這裡,明日我打發你去。」於是烏利亞那日和次日住在耶路撒冷。 13 大衛召了烏利亞來,叫他在自己面前吃喝,使他喝醉。到了晚上,烏利亞出去與他主的僕人一同住宿,還沒有回到家裡去。
謀殺烏利亞
14 次日早晨,大衛寫信於約押,交烏利亞隨手帶去, 15 信內寫著說:「要派烏利亞前進,到陣勢極險之處,你們便退後,使他被殺。」 16 約押圍城的時候,知道敵人那裡有勇士,便將烏利亞派在那裡。 17 城裡的人出來和約押打仗,大衛的僕人中有幾個被殺的,赫人烏利亞也死了。 18 於是,約押差人去將爭戰的一切事告訴大衛, 19 又囑咐使者說:「你把爭戰的一切事對王說完了, 20 王若發怒,問你說:『你們打仗為什麼挨近城牆呢?豈不知敵人必從城上射箭嗎? 21 從前打死耶路比設[c]兒子亞比米勒的是誰呢?豈不是一個婦人從城上拋下一塊上磨石來,打在他身上,他就死在提備斯嗎?你們為什麼挨近城牆呢?』你就說:『王的僕人赫人烏利亞也死了。』」
22 使者起身,來見大衛,照著約押所吩咐他的話奏告大衛。 23 使者對大衛說:「敵人強過我們,出到郊野與我們打仗。我們追殺他們,直到城門口。 24 射箭的從城上射王的僕人,射死幾個,赫人烏利亞也死了。」 25 王向使者說:「你告訴約押說:『不要因這事愁悶,刀劍或吞滅這人或吞滅那人,沒有一定的。你只管竭力攻城,將城傾覆。』可以用這話勉勵約押。」
娶拔示巴
26 烏利亞的妻聽見丈夫烏利亞死了,就為他哀哭。 27 哀哭的日子過了,大衛差人將她接到宮裡,她就做了大衛的妻,給大衛生了一個兒子。但大衛所行的這事,耶和華甚不喜悅。

David and Bathsheba
11 In the spring,(A) at the time when kings go off to war, David sent Joab(B) out with the king’s men and the whole Israelite army.(C) They destroyed the Ammonites and besieged Rabbah.(D) But David remained in Jerusalem.
2 One evening David got up from his bed and walked around on the roof(E) of the palace. From the roof he saw(F) a woman bathing. The woman was very beautiful, 3 and David sent someone to find out about her. The man said, “She is Bathsheba,(G) the daughter of Eliam(H) and the wife of Uriah(I) the Hittite.” 4 Then David sent messengers to get her.(J) She came to him, and he slept(K) with her. (Now she was purifying herself from her monthly uncleanness.)(L) Then she went back home. 5 The woman conceived and sent word to David, saying, “I am pregnant.”
6 So David sent this word to Joab: “Send me Uriah(M) the Hittite.” And Joab sent him to David. 7 When Uriah came to him, David asked him how Joab was, how the soldiers were and how the war was going. 8 Then David said to Uriah, “Go down to your house and wash your feet.”(N) So Uriah left the palace, and a gift from the king was sent after him. 9 But Uriah slept at the entrance to the palace with all his master’s servants and did not go down to his house.
10 David was told, “Uriah did not go home.” So he asked Uriah, “Haven’t you just come from a military campaign? Why didn’t you go home?”
11 Uriah said to David, “The ark(O) and Israel and Judah are staying in tents,[a] and my commander Joab and my lord’s men are camped in the open country. How could I go to my house to eat and drink and make love(P) to my wife? As surely as you live, I will not do such a thing!”
12 Then David said to him, “Stay here one more day, and tomorrow I will send you back.” So Uriah remained in Jerusalem that day and the next. 13 At David’s invitation, he ate and drank with him, and David made him drunk. But in the evening Uriah went out to sleep on his mat among his master’s servants; he did not go home.
14 In the morning David wrote a letter(Q) to Joab and sent it with Uriah. 15 In it he wrote, “Put Uriah out in front where the fighting is fiercest. Then withdraw from him so he will be struck down(R) and die.(S)”
16 So while Joab had the city under siege, he put Uriah at a place where he knew the strongest defenders were. 17 When the men of the city came out and fought against Joab, some of the men in David’s army fell; moreover, Uriah the Hittite died.
18 Joab sent David a full account of the battle. 19 He instructed the messenger: “When you have finished giving the king this account of the battle, 20 the king’s anger may flare up, and he may ask you, ‘Why did you get so close to the city to fight? Didn’t you know they would shoot arrows from the wall? 21 Who killed Abimelek(T) son of Jerub-Besheth[b]? Didn’t a woman drop an upper millstone on him from the wall,(U) so that he died in Thebez? Why did you get so close to the wall?’ If he asks you this, then say to him, ‘Moreover, your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead.’”
22 The messenger set out, and when he arrived he told David everything Joab had sent him to say. 23 The messenger said to David, “The men overpowered us and came out against us in the open, but we drove them back to the entrance of the city gate. 24 Then the archers shot arrows at your servants from the wall, and some of the king’s men died. Moreover, your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead.”
25 David told the messenger, “Say this to Joab: ‘Don’t let this upset you; the sword devours one as well as another. Press the attack against the city and destroy it.’ Say this to encourage Joab.”
26 When Uriah’s wife heard that her husband was dead, she mourned for him. 27 After the time of mourning(V) was over, David had her brought to his house, and she became his wife and bore him a son. But the thing David had done displeased(W) the Lord.

2 Samuel 11
King James Version
11 And it came to pass, after the year was expired, at the time when kings go forth to battle, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried still at Jerusalem.
2 And it came to pass in an eveningtide, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king's house: and from the roof he saw a woman washing herself; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon.
3 And David sent and enquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?
4 And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in unto him, and he lay with her; for she was purified from her uncleanness: and she returned unto her house.
5 And the woman conceived, and sent and told David, and said, I am with child.
6 And David sent to Joab, saying, Send me Uriah the Hittite. And Joab sent Uriah to David.
7 And when Uriah was come unto him, David demanded of him how Joab did, and how the people did, and how the war prospered.
8 And David said to Uriah, Go down to thy house, and wash thy feet. And Uriah departed out of the king's house, and there followed him a mess of meat from the king.
9 But Uriah slept at the door of the king's house with all the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.
10 And when they had told David, saying, Uriah went not down unto his house, David said unto Uriah, Camest thou not from thy journey? why then didst thou not go down unto thine house?
11 And Uriah said unto David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in tents; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open fields; shall I then go into mine 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.
12 And David said to Uriah, Tarry here to day also, and to morrow I will let thee depart. So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day, and the morrow.
13 And when David had called him, he did eat and drink before him; and he made him drunk: and at even he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but went not down to his house.
14 And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah.
15 And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set ye Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, that he may be smitten, and die.
16 And it came to pass, when Joab observed the city, that he assigned Uriah unto a place where he knew that valiant men were.
17 And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab: and there fell some of the people of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hittite died also.
18 Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war;
19 And charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast made an end of telling the matters of the war unto the king,
20 And if so be that the king's wrath arise, and he say unto thee, Wherefore approached ye so nigh unto the city when ye did fight? knew ye not that they would shoot from the wall?
21 Who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from the wall, that he died in Thebez? why went ye nigh the wall? then say thou, Thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.
22 So the messenger went, and came and shewed David all that Joab had sent him for.
23 And the messenger said unto David, Surely the men prevailed against us, and came out unto us into the field, and we were upon them even unto the entering of the gate.
24 And the shooters shot from off the wall upon thy servants; and some of the king's servants be dead, and thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.
25 Then David said unto the messenger, Thus shalt thou say unto Joab, Let not this thing displease thee, for the sword devoureth one as well as another: make thy battle more strong against the city, and overthrow it: and encourage thou him.
26 And when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she mourned for her husband.
27 And when the mourning was past, David sent and fetched her to his house, and she became his wife, and bare him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the Lord.
