1 O o isla xilligii sannaddii dambe, markay boqorradu dagaalka u soo bixi jireen ayaa Daa'uud Yoo'aab diray isagoo wata addoommadiisii, iyo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan, oo waxay baabbi'iyeen reer Cammoon, oo Rabbaahna way hareereeyeen, laakiinse Daa'uud baa Yeruusaalem iska joogay.

The spring of the year was the time when kings went out to battle. At that time David sent Joab and his servants and all Israel. They destroyed the sons of Ammon and gathered the army around Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem.

2 O o makhribkii ayaa Daa'uud ka kacay sariirtiisii, oo wuxuu dul socday gurigii boqorka saqafkiisa, oo wuxuu saqafka ka arkay naag maydhanaysa, naagtuna aragga aad bay u qurux badnayd.

When evening came David got up from his bed and walked around on the roof of the king’s house. From the roof he saw a woman washing herself. The woman was very beautiful.

3 M arkaasaa Daa'uud cid naagtii soo haybsata diray. Oo waxaa la yidhi, War sow tanu ma aha Batshebac ina Eliicaam, oo uu Uuriyaah kii reer Xeed qabo?

So David sent someone to ask about the woman. And one said, “Is this not Eliam’s daughter Bathsheba, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?”

4 M arkaasaa Daa'uud wargeeyayaal u diray, wuuna soo kaxaystay; markaasay u soo gashay, wuuna la seexday, (waayo, waxay iska daahirisay nijaasteedii); dabadeedna gurigeedii bay ku noqotay.

David sent men and took her. When she came to him, he lay with her. After she had made herself clean again, she returned to her house.

5 O o naagtiina way uuraysatay; markaasay Daa'uud u soo cid dirtay oo u sheegtay, waxayna ku tidhi, Uur baan yeeshay.

She was going to have a baby, so she sent someone to tell David, “I am going to have a baby.”

6 D aa'uudna cid buu u diray Yoo'aab, oo ku yidhi, Ii soo dir Uuriyaah kii reer Xeed. Markaasaa Yoo'aab Uuriyaah u soo diray Daa'uud.

Then David sent men to Joab, saying, “Send me Uriah the Hittite.” So Joab sent Uriah to David.

7 O o markii Uuriyaah u yimid ayaa Daa'uud weyddiiyey Yoo'aab siduu ahaa, iyo sidii dadku u nabdoonaa, iyo dagaalkii sida loogu guulaystay.

When Uriah came to him, David asked how Joab and the people were doing, and how the war was going.

8 D aa'uudna wuxuu Uuriyaah ku yidhi, Bal orod gurigaaga tag oo cagomaydho. Markaasaa Uuriyaah gurigii boqorka ka baxay oo waxaana lala daba galay cunto ka tagtay xagga boqorka.

Then David said to Uriah, “Go down to your house, and wash your feet.” And Uriah left the king’s house, and a gift from the king was sent to him.

9 L aakiinse Uuriyaah guriga boqorka iriddiisa ayuu la seexday addoommadii sayidkiisa oo dhan, oo gurigiisiina ma uu tegin.

But Uriah slept at the door of the king’s house with all the servants of his lord. He did not go down to his house.

10 D aa'uudna waa loo soo sheegay oo lagu yidhi, Uuriyaah gurigiisii ma tegin. Markaasaa Daa'uud wuxuu Uuriyaah ku yidhi, War miyaadan sodcaal ka iman? Maxaadse gurigaaga u tegi weyday?

When they told David that Uriah did not go down to his house, David said to Uriah, “Have you not returned from traveling a long way? Why did you not go down to your house?”

11 M arkaasaa Uuriyaah wuxuu Daa'uud ku yidhi, Sanduuqa Ilaah, iyo reer binu Israa'iil, iyo reer Yahuudahba waxay ku jiraan waabab; oo sayidkaygii Yoo'aab iyo addoommadii sayidkayguba waxay ku hoydaan berrin bannaan; haddaba miyaan u galaa gurigayga inaan wax cuno, oo wax cabbo, oo naagtayda la seexdo? Haddaba waxaan ku dhaartay noloshaada iyo naftaada inaanan waxan samaynayn.

Uriah said to David, “The special box of the Lord, and Israel and Judah, are staying in tents. My lord Joab and the servants of my lord are staying in the open field. Should I go to my house to eat and drink and lie with my wife? By your life and the life of your soul, I will not do this thing.”

12 M arkaasaa Daa'uud Uuriyaah ku yidhi, Haddaba bal maantana iska joog oo berrina waan ku dirayaa. Saas aawadeed Uuriyaah maalintaas iyo maalintii dambeba Yeruusaalem buu joogay.

Then David said to Uriah, “Stay here today also. Tomorrow I will let you go.” So Uriah stayed in Jerusalem that day and the next.

13 M arkii Daa'uud u yeedhay ayuu hortiisa wax ku cunay oo wax ku cabbay; markaasuu sakhraamiyey, oo fiidkii buu tegey inuu sariirtiisii jiifsado isagoo la socda addoommadii sayidkiisa, laakiinse gurigiisii ma uu tegin.

David called him, and he ate and drank with him, and David made him drunk. In the evening Uriah went out to lie on his bed with his lord’s servants. He did not go down to his house.

14 O o subaxdii dambe Daa'uud warqad buu Yoo'aab u qoray, wuxuuna ugu sii dhiibay Uuriyaah.

In the morning, David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by Uriah.

15 O o wuxuu warqaddiisii ku qoray oo yidhi, Uuriyaah waxaad ugu hor marisaan dagaalka ugu kulul, oo idinkuna dib uga noqda, si loo dilo, uuna u dhinto.

He had written in the letter, “Put Uriah in the front of the hardest battle and come away from him, so that he may be killed.”

16 O o markuu Yoo'aab magaaladii arkay ayuu Uuriyaah ku hagaajiyey meeshii uu ku ogaa inay nimankii xoogga badnaa joogaan.

So while Joab was watching the city, he sent Uriah to the place where he knew there were soldiers with strength of heart.

17 O o raggii magaaladuna way soo baxeen, oo Yoo'aab la dirireen, oo dadkiina qaar baa ka dhintay, kuwaas oo ahaa addoommadii Daa'uud; Uuriyaah kii reer Xeedna wuu dhintay.

The men of the city went out and fought against Joab. Some of David’s servants were killed. And Uriah the Hittite died also.

18 M arkaasaa Yoo'aab Daa'uud cid u diray, oo wixii dagaalkii ku saabsanaa oo dhan ayuu uga warramay,

Then Joab sent a man with news to David to tell him all about the war.

19 o o kii farriinta wadayna wuxuu ku amray oo ku yidhi, Markaad boqorka uga warrantid waxa dagaalka ku saabsan oo dhan,

Joab told the man, “When you have finished telling the king all about the war,

20 m arkaas hadduu boqorku cadhoodo, oo kugu yidhaahdo, War maxaad magaalada ugu dhowaateen inaad la dirirtaan? Miyeydaan ogayn inay derbiga idinka soo tooganayaan?

the king might become angry. He might say to you, ‘Why did you go so near the city to fight? Did you not know that they would shoot from the wall?

21 B al yaa dilay Abiimeleg oo ahaa ina Yerubbeshed? Sow naagu dhagax wax lagu shiido derbi kagama soo tuurin oo sow kuma uu dhiman Tebes? Haddaba maxaad idinku derbiga ugu dhowaateen? Markaas waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Addoonkaagii Uuriyaah ahaa ee reer Xeed isna waa dhintay.

Who killed Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? Did not a woman throw a grinding stone on him from the wall so that he died at Thebez? Why did you go so near the wall?’ Then you should say, ‘Your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.’”

22 H addaba wargeeyihii waa tegey, Daa'uudna wuu u yimid oo u sheegay wixii Yoo'aab u soo diray oo dhan.

So the man left and came to David. He told him all that Joab had sent him to tell.

23 O o wargeeyihii wuxuu Daa'uud ku yidhi, Nimankii way naga xoog badnaadeen, markaasay dibadda noogu soo baxeen, oo annana waxaannu eryannay iyagii ilaa ay iriddii magaalada galeen.

The man said to David, “The men were winning the fight against us. They came out against us in the field. But we drove them back as far as the city gate.

24 M arkaasay kuwii wax toogan jiray addoommadaadii derbiga ka soo toogteen, oo boqorow, addoommadaadiina qaar baa dhintay, oo addoonkaagii Uuriyaah ahaa ee reer Xeed isna wuu dhintay.

Then they shot arrows at your servants from the wall. So some of the king’s servants are dead, and your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.”

25 M arkaasaa Daa'uud wuxuu wargeeyihii ku yidhi, Waxaad Yoo'aab ku tidhaahdaa, Waxanu yay kula xumaan, waayo, seeftu mar mid bay baabbi'isaa, marna midka kale, haddaba magaalada dagaalka aad ugu sii adkee, oo afgembi; oo adna isaga dhiirrigeli.

Then David said to the man, “Tell Joab, ‘Do not let this thing trouble you. For the sword kills one as well as another. Make your battle against the city stronger and destroy it.’ Comfort him with these words.”

26 O o Uuriyaah bilcaantiisiina markay maqashay in ninkeedii Uuriyaah dhintay, way u barooratay ninkeedii.

When Uriah’s wife heard that her husband was dead, she was filled with sorrow for him.

27 O o markii baroortii dhammaatay ayaa Daa'uud u soo cid diray iyadii oo gurigiisii soo gashaday, oo iyana waxay noqotay naagtiisii, wiilna way u dhashay. Laakiinse wixii Daa'uud sameeyey ayaa Rabbigu ka xumaaday.

When the time of sorrow was finished, David sent men and brought her to his house. She became his wife, and gave birth to his son. But what David had done was sinful in the eyes of the Lord.
