2 Samuel 11

1 And it came to pass at the return of the year, at the time when kings go forth to war, that David sent Joab and his servants with him, and all Israel, and they spoiled the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabba: but David remained in Jerusalem.

A kad proðe godina, u vrijeme kad carevi idu na vojsku, posla David Joava i sluge svoje s njim, i svega Izrailja, te potirahu sinove Amonove, i opkoliše Ravu; a David osta u Jerusalimu.

2 In the mean time it happened that David arose from his bed after noon, and walked upon the roof of the king’s house: and he saw from the roof of his house a woman washing herself, over against him: and the woman was very beautiful.

I pred veèe usta David s postelje svoje, i hodajuæi po krovu carskoga dvora ugleda s krova ženu gdje se mije, a žena bijaše vrlo lijepa na oèi.

3 And the king sent, and inquired who the woman was. And it was told him, that she was Bethsabee the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Urias the Hethite.

I David posla da propitaju za ženu i rekoše: nije li to Vitsaveja kæi Elijamova žena Urije Hetejina?

4 And David sent messengers, and took her, and she came in to him, and he slept with her: and presently she was purified from her uncleanness:

I David posla poslanike da je dovedu; i kad doðe k njemu, on leže s njom, a ona se bješe oèistila od neèistote svoje; poslije se vrati svojoj kuæi.

5 And she returned to her house having conceived. And she sent and told David, and said: I have conceived.

I zatrudnje žena, te posla i javi Davidu govoreæi: trudna sam.

6 And David sent to Joab, saying: Send me Urias the Hethite. And Joab sent Urias to David.

Tada David posla k Joavu i poruèi: pošlji mi Uriju Hetejina. I posla Joav Uriju k Davidu.

7 And Urias came to David. And David asked how Joab did, and the people, and how the war was carried on.

I kad Urija doðe k njemu, zapita ga David kako je Joav i kako je narod i kako ide rat.

8 And David said to Urias: Go into thy house, and wash thy feet. And Urias went out from the king’s house, and there went out after him a mess of meat from the king.

Potom reèe David Uriji: idi kuæi svojoj, i operi noge svoje. I Urija izide iz careva dvora, a za njim iznesoše jelo carsko.

9 But Urias slept before the gate of the king’s house, with the other servants of his lord, and went not down to his own house.

Ali Urija leže na vratima dvora careva sa svijem slugama gospodara svojega, i ne otide kuæi svojoj.

10 And it was told David by some that said: Urias went not to his house. And David said to Urias: Didst thou not come from thy journey? why didst thou not go down to thy house?

I javiše Davidu govoreæi: Urija nije otišao kuæi svojoj. A David reèe Uriji: nijesi li došao s puta? zašto ne ideš kuæi svojoj?

11 And Urias said to David: The ark of God and Israel and Juda dwell in tents, and my lord Joab and the servants of my lord abide upon the face of the earth: and shall I go into my house, to eat and to drink, and to sleep with my wife? By thy welfare and by the welfare of thy soul I will not do this thing.

A Urija reèe Davidu: kovèeg i Izrailj i Juda stoje po šatorima, i Joav gospodar moj i sluge gospodara mojega stoje u polju, pa kako bih ja ušao u kuæu svoju da jedem i pijem i spavam sa ženom svojom? Tako ti bio živ i tako bila živa duša tvoja, neæu to uèiniti.

12 Then David said to Urias: Tarry here today, and tomorrow I will send thee away. Urias tarried in Jerusalem that day and the next.

Tada reèe David Uriji: ostani ovdje još danas, pa æu te sjutra otpustiti. Tako osta Urija u Jerusalimu onaj dan i sjutradan.

13 And David called him to eat and to drink before him, and he made him drunk: and he went out in the evening, and slept on his couch with the servants of his lord, and went not down into his house.

I pozva ga David da jede i pije s njim, te ga opije. A uveèe otide, te leže na postelju svoju sa slugama gospodara svojega, a kuæi svojoj ne otide.

14 And when the morning was come, David wrote a letter to Joab: and sent it by the hand of Urias,

A ujutru napisa David knjigu Joavu, i posla po Uriji.

15 Writing in the letter: Set ye Urias in the front of the battle, where the fight is strongest: and leave ye him, that he may be wounded and die.

A u knjizi pisa i reèe: namjestite Uriju gdje je najžešæi boj, pa se uzmaknite od njega da bi ga ubili da pogine.

16 Wherefore as Joab was besieging the city, he put Urias in the place where he knew the bravest men were.

I Joav opkolivši grad namjesti Uriju na mjesto gdje je znao da su najhrabriji ljudi.

17 And the men coming out of the city, fought against Joab, and there fell some of the people of the servants of David, and Urias the Hethite was killed also.

I izidoše ljudi iz grada i pobiše se s Judom. I pogibe iz naroda nekoliko sluga Davidovijeh; pogibe i Urija Hetejin.

18 Then Joab sent, and told David all things concerning the battle.

Tada Joav posla k Davidu, i javi mu sve što bi u boju.

19 And he charged the messenger, saying: When thou hast told all the words of the battle to the king,

I zapovjedi glasniku govoreæi: kad pripovjediš caru sve što je bilo u boju,

20 If thou see him to be angry, and he shall say: Why did you approach so near to the wall to fight? knew you not that many darts are thrown from above off the wall?

Ako se razgnjevi car i reèe ti: zašto ste išli tako blizu grada da se bijete? zar nijeste znali kako se strijelja s grada?

21 Who killed Abimelech the son of Jerobaal? did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from the wall, and slew him in Thebes? Why did you go near the wall? Thou shalt say: Thy servant Urias the Hethite is also slain.

Ko je ubio Avimeleha sina Jeruvesetova? nije li žena bacila na nj komad žrvnja sa zida, te pogibe u Tevesu? zašto ste išli blizu zida? tada reci: poginuo je i sluga tvoj Urija Hetejin.

22 So the messenger departed, and came and told David all that Joab had commanded him.

I otide glasnik, i došavši javi Davidu sve za što ga je poslao Joav.

23 And the messenger said to David: The men prevailed against us, and they came out to us into the field: and we vigorously charged and pursued them even to the gate of the city.

I reèe glasnik Davidu: bijahu jaèi od nas, i izidoše u polje na nas, ali ih uzbismo do vrata gradskih.

24 And the archers shot their arrows at thy servants from off the wall above: and some of the king’s servants are slain, and thy servant Urias the Hethite is also dead.

A strijelci stadoše strijeljati na sluge tvoje sa zida, i pogibe nekoliko sluga carevijeh, tako i sluga tvoj Urija Hetejin pogibe.

25 And David said to the messenger: Thus shalt thou say to Joab: Let not this thing discourage thee: for various is the event of war: and sometimes one, sometimes another is consumed by the sword: encourage thy warriors against The city, and exhort them that thou mayest overthrow it.

Tada reèe David glasniku: ovako reci Joavu: ne budi zlovoljan za to; jer maè proždire sad ovoga sad onoga; udri još jaèe na grad i raskopaj ga. Tako ga ohrabri.

26 And the wife of Urias heard that Urias her husband was dead, and she mourned for him.

A žena Urijina èuvši da je poginuo muž njezin Urija, plaka za mužem svojim.

27 And the mourning being over, David sent and brought her into his house, and she became his wife, and she bore him a son: and this thing which David had done, was displeasing to the Lord.

A kad proðe žalost, posla David i uze je u kuæu svoju, i ona mu posta žena, i rodi mu sina. Ali ne bješe po volji Gospodu što uèini David.
