2 Samuel 11
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
11 At nangyari sa pagpihit ng taon sa panahon ng paglabas ng mga hari sa pakikipagbaka, na sinugo ni David si Joab, at ang kaniyang mga lingkod na kasama niya, at ang buong Israel; at kanilang nilipol ang mga anak ni Ammon at kinubkob sa Rabba. Nguni't si David ay naghintay sa Jerusalem.
2 At nangyari sa kinahapunan, na si David ay bumangon sa kaniyang higaan, at lumakad sa bubungan ng bahay ng hari: at mula sa bubungan ay kaniyang nakita ang isang babae na naliligo; at ang babae ay totoong napakagandang masdan.
3 At nagsugo si David, at nagpasiyasat tungkol sa babae. At sinabi ng isa, Hindi ba ito ay si Bath-sheba na anak ni Eliam, na asawa ni Uria na Hetheo?
4 At si David ay nagsugo ng mga sugo, at kinuha siya; at siya'y pumaroon sa kaniya, at kaniyang sinipingan siya (sapagka't siya'y malinis sa kaniyang karumihan;) at siya'y bumalik sa kaniyang bahay.
5 At ang babae ay naglihi; at siya'y nagsugo at nasaysay kay David, at nagsabi: Ako'y buntis.
6 At nagsugo si David kay Joab, na sinasabi, Suguin mo sa akin si Uria na Hetheo. At sinugo ni Joab si Uria kay David.
7 At nang si Uria ay dumating sa kaniya, tinanong ni David siya kung paano ang tayo ni Joab, at kung ano ang kalagayan ng bayan, at kung paano ang tayo ng pagbabaka.
8 At sinabi ni David kay Uria, Babain mo ang iyong bahay, at iyong hugasan ang iyong mga paa. At umalis si Uria sa bahay ng hari at isinusunod sa kaniya ang isang pagkain na mula sa hari.
9 Nguni't natulog si Uria sa pintuan ng bahay ng hari na kasama ng lahat ng mga lingkod ng kaniyang panginoon, at hindi binaba ang kaniyang bahay.
10 At nang masaysay kay David, na sabihin, Hindi binaba ni Uria ang kaniyang bahay, sinabi ni David kay Uria, Hindi ka pa ba nakapaglalakbay? bakit hindi mo binaba ang iyong bahay?
11 At sinabi ni Uria kay David, Ang kaban, at ang Israel, at ang Juda, ay nasa mga tolda at ang aking panginoon si Joab, at ang mga lingkod ng aking panginoon, ay nangahahantong sa luwal na parang; yayaon nga ba ako sa aking bahay, upang kumain, at upang uminom, at upang sumiping sa aking asawa? buhay ka, at buhay ang iyong kaluluwa, hindi ko gagawin ang bagay na ito.
12 At sinabi ni David kay Uria, Tumigil ka rin dito ngayon at bukas ay aking payayaunin ka. Sa gayo'y tumigil si Uria sa Jerusalem sa araw na yaon, at sa kinabukasan.
13 At nang tawagin siya ni David, siya'y kumain at uminom sa harap niya; at kaniyang nilango siya: at sa kinahapunan, siya'y lumabas upang mahiga sa kaniyang higaan na kasama ng mga lingkod ng kaniyang panginoon, nguni't hindi niya binaba ang kaniyang bahay.
14 At nangyari, sa kinaumagahan, na sumulat si David ng isang sulat kay Joab, at ipinadala sa pamamagitan ng kamay ni Uria.
15 At kaniyang isinulat sa sulat, na sinasabi, Ilagay mo si Uria sa pinakaunahan ng mahigpit na pagbabaka, at kayo'y magsiurong mula sa kaniya, upang siya'y masaktan, at mamatay.
16 At nangyari, nang bantayan ni Joab ang bayan, na kaniyang inilagay si Uria sa dakong kaniyang nalalaman na kinaroroonan ng mga matapang na lalake.
17 At ang mga lalake sa bayan ay nagsilabas at nakipagbaka kay Joab: at nangabuwal ang iba sa bayan, sa mga lingkod ni David; at si Uria na Hetheo ay namatay rin.
18 Nang magkagayo'y nagsugo si Joab, at isinaysay kay David ang lahat ng mga bagay tungkol sa pagbabaka;
19 At kaniyang ibinilin sa sugo, na sinasabi, Pagka ikaw ay nakatapos na magsaysay sa hari ng lahat ng mga bagay tungkol sa pagbabaka,
20 Mangyari na, kung ang galit ng hari ay maginit, at kaniyang sabihin sa iyo: Bakit kayo lumapit na mabuti sa bayan upang bumaka? hindi ba ninyo nalalaman na sila'y papana mula sa kuta?
21 Sino ang sumakit kay Abimelech na anak ni Jerobaal? hindi ba isang babae ang naghagis ng isang bato sa ibabaw ng gilingan sa kaniya mula sa kuta, na anopa't siya'y namatay sa Thebes? bakit kayo'y nagpakalapit sa kuta? saka mo sasabihin, Ang iyong lingkod na si Uria na Hetheo ay namatay rin.
22 Sa gayo'y yumaon ang sugo, at naparoon at isinaysay kay David ang lahat na iniutos sa kaniya ni Joab.
23 At sinabi ng sugo kay David, Ang mga lalake ay nanganaig laban sa amin, at nilabas kami sa parang, at aming pinaurong sila hanggang sa pasukan ng pintuang-bayan.
24 At pinana ng mga mamamana ang iyong mga lingkod mula sa kuta; at ang iba sa mga lingkod ng hari ay nangamatay, at ang iyong lingkod na si Uria na Hetheo ay namatay rin.
25 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni David sa sugo, Ganito ang iyong sasabihin kay Joab: Huwag mong masamain ang bagay na ito, sapagka't nilalamon ng tabak maging ito gaya ng iba: iyong palakasin pa ang iyong pagbabaka laban sa bayan, at iwasak: at iyong palakasin ang loob niya.
26 At nang marinig ng asawa ni Uria na si Uria na kaniyang asawa ay namatay, kaniyang tinangisan ang kaniyang asawa.
27 At nang ang pagtangis ay makaraan, ay nagsugo si David at kinuha siya sa kaniyang bahay, at siya'y naging kaniyang asawa, at nagkaanak sa kaniya ng isang lalake. Nguni't ang bagay na ginawa ni David ay minasama ng Panginoon.
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.
2 Samuel 11
English Standard Version
David and Bathsheba
11 (A)(B)In the spring of the year, the time when kings go out to battle, David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel. And they ravaged the Ammonites and besieged (C)Rabbah. But David remained at Jerusalem.
2 It happened, late one afternoon, when David arose from his couch and was walking on (D)the roof of the king's house, that he saw from the roof a woman bathing; and the woman was very beautiful. 3 And David sent and inquired about the woman. And one said, “Is not this (E)Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of (F)Uriah the Hittite?” 4 So David sent messengers and took her, and she came to him, and he lay with her. ((G)Now she had been purifying herself from her uncleanness.) Then she returned to her house. 5 And the woman conceived, and she sent and told David, “I am pregnant.”
6 So David sent word to Joab, “Send me Uriah the Hittite.” And Joab sent Uriah to David. 7 When Uriah came to him, David asked how Joab was doing and how the people were doing and how the war was going. 8 Then David said to Uriah, “Go down to your house and (H)wash your feet.” And Uriah went out of the king's house, and there followed him a present from the king. 9 But Uriah slept at the door of the king's house with all the servants of his lord, and did not go down to his house. 10 When they told David, “Uriah did not go down to his house,” David said to Uriah, “Have you not come from a journey? Why did you not go down to your house?” 11 Uriah said to David, (I)“The ark and Israel and Judah dwell in booths, and my lord Joab and (J)the servants of my lord are camping in the open field. Shall I then go to my house, to eat and to drink and to lie with my wife? As you live, and (K)as your soul lives, I will not do this thing.” 12 Then David said to Uriah, “Remain here today also, and tomorrow I will send you back.” So Uriah remained in Jerusalem that day and the next. 13 And David invited him, and he ate in his presence and drank, (L)so that he made him drunk. And in the evening he went out to lie on his couch with (M)the servants of his lord, but he did not go down to his house.
14 In the morning David (N)wrote a letter to Joab and sent it by the hand of Uriah. 15 In the letter he wrote, “Set Uriah in the forefront of the hardest fighting, and then draw back from him, (O)that he may be struck down, and die.” 16 And as Joab was besieging the city, he assigned Uriah to the place where he knew there were valiant men. 17 And the men of the city came out and fought with Joab, and some of the servants of David among the people fell. Uriah the Hittite also died. 18 Then Joab sent and told David all the news about the fighting. 19 And he instructed the messenger, “When you have finished telling all the news about the fighting to the king, 20 then, if the king's anger rises, and if he says to you, ‘Why did you go so near the city to fight? Did you not know that they would shoot from the wall? 21 (P)Who killed Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? Did not 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.’”
22 So the messenger went and came and told David all that Joab had sent him to tell. 23 The messenger said to David, “The men gained an advantage over us and came out against us in the field, but we drove them back to the entrance of the gate. 24 Then the archers shot at your servants from the wall. Some of the king's servants are dead, and your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.” 25 David said to the messenger, “Thus shall you say to Joab, ‘Do not let this matter displease you, for the sword devours now one and now another. Strengthen your attack against the city and overthrow it.’ And encourage him.”
26 When the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she lamented over her husband. 27 And when the mourning was over, David sent and brought her to his house, and (Q)she became his wife and bore him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the Lord.
