Dawid Fa Batseba
Berɛ a ahemfo kɔ ɔko no, Dawid tena fie, hunu Batseba sɛ ɔreguare, soma kɔfa no, na ɔnyinsɛn. Uria po ne fie ahotɔ berɛ a akodɔm no da wiram, enti Dawid kyerɛw ma wɔde no kɔ akono anim, na wokum no. Ɛyɛ bɔne wɔ yɛn Agya ani so.
11 1Afe foforo mu, bere a ahemfo kɔ ko no, Dawid somaa Yoab ne ne mmarima ne Israel nyinaa. Wɔsɛee Amonfo no, na wɔtwaa Raba ho hyiae. Nanso Dawid tenaa Yerusalem. 2Anwummere bi Dawid sɔre fii ne mpa so, na ɔnantew wɔ ɔhene fi no atifi. Ofi hɔ na ohuu ɔbaa bi a ɔreguare; ɔbaa no ho yɛ fɛ yiye. 3Dawid somaa obi sɛ ɔnkɔbisa ɔbaa no ho asɛm. Obi kae se, “Ɛnyɛ Batseba, Eliam babea, Uria a ɔyɛ Hetini no yere ni?”
4Dawid somaa abɔfo kɔfaa no. Ɔbaa no baa ne nkyɛn, na ɔne no dae—na ɔbaa no ate ne ho ara pɛ afi ne ho nkekae mu—na ɔsan kɔɔ ne fi. a a v4 Mose mmara hwehwɛɛ sɛ ɔbaa yɛ ahotew ho amanne wɔ ne bra bere akyi ansa na wasan akɔ ne daa asetena mu (hwɛ Lev. 15:19–28). 5Ɔbaa no nyinsɛnee, na ɔde asɛm kɔmaa Dawid se, “Manyinsɛn.”
6Dawid de asɛm kɔmaa Yoab se, “Soma Uria a ɔyɛ Hetini no mmrɛ me.” Yoab somaa Uria kɔɔ Dawid nkyɛn. 7Bere a Uria duu ne nkyɛn no, Dawid bisaa Yoab ne asraafo no ho asɛm, ne sɛnea ɔko no rekɔ so. 8Dawid ka kyerɛɛ Uria se, “Si kɔ wo fi na kɔhohoro wo nan ase.” Uria fii ahemfi hɔ, na ɔhene de akyɛde bi dii nʼakyi. 9Uria dae ɔhene fi no ano wɔ ne wura asomfo nyinaa nkyɛn, na wansi ankɔ ne fi. 10Bere a wɔka kyerɛɛ Dawid sɛ Uria ankɔ ne fi no, Dawid bisaa no se, “Ɛnyɛ akwantu mu na wofi aba? Adɛn nti na woankɔ wo fi?”
11Uria ka kyerɛɛ Dawid se, “Adaka no ne Israel ne Yuda te ntamadan mu, na me wura Yoab ne me wura mmarima no abɔ atenae wɔ wuram. Ɛsɛ sɛ mekɔ me fi kɔdidi, kɔnom, na me ne me yere kɔda? Sɛ wote ase na wo kra te ase yi, merenyɛ eyi.”
12Dawid ka kyerɛɛ Uria se, “Tena ha nnɛ nso, na ɔkyena mɛsoma wo ma woasan akɔ.” Enti Uria tenaa Yerusalem da no ne ade kyee no. 13Dawid to nsa frɛɛ no, na odidii nomee wɔ ne nkyɛn, na Dawid maa ɔboroo nsa. Nanso anwummere no Uria fii adi kɔdaa ne kɛtɛ so wɔ ne wura asomfo nkyɛn; wankɔ ne fi.
14Anɔpa no Dawid kyerɛw krataa de kɔmaa Yoab, na ɔde hyɛɛ Uria nsa sɛ ɔmfa nkɔ. 15Ɔkyerɛw wɔ krataa no mu se, “Fa Uria si anim wɔ baabi a ɔko no mu yɛ den sen biara, na afei montwe mo ho mfi ne ho, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wɔbɛbɔ no ahwe fam na wawu.”
16Bere a Yoab twaa kurow no ho hyiae no, ɔde Uria sii baabi a onim sɛ kurow no akofo a wɔyɛ den sen biara wɔ no. 17Kurow no mu mmarima fii adi bɛko tiaa Yoab, na Dawid asomfo no bi hwehwe ase. Uria a ɔyɛ Hetini no nso wui. 18Afei Yoab de asɛm kɔmaa Dawid, kaa ɔko no ho nsɛm nyinaa kyerɛɛ no. 19Ɔhyɛɛ ɔbɔfo no se, “Sɛ woka ɔko no ho nsɛm nyinaa kyerɛ ɔhene wie a, 20na sɛ ɔhene bo fuw, na obisa wo se, ‘Adɛn nti na mokɔɔ kurow no ho bɛn saa ko? Na munnim sɛ wɔbɛfi ɔfasu no so atow agyan? 21Hena na okum Yerubeset babarima Abimelek? Ɛnyɛ ɔbaa bi na ɔfii ɔfasu no so tow awiyammo a ɛwɔ soro no bɔɔ no maa owui wɔ Tebes? Adɛn nti na mobɛn ɔfasu no saa?’—a, afei ka se, Wo somfo Uria a ɔyɛ Hetini no nso awu.” b b v21 Yerubeset yɛ Gideon din foforo; awiyammo ho asɛm no wɔ Atemmufo 9:50–54.
22Enti ɔbɔfo no kɔe, na oduu hɔ no, ɔkaa nea Yoab somaa no sɛ ɔnka no nyinaa kyerɛɛ Dawid. 23Ɔbɔfo no ka kyerɛɛ Dawid se, “Mmarima no dii yɛn so, na wofii adi bɛtoaa yɛn wɔ wuram, nanso yɛpam wɔn kosii kurow no pon ano. 24Agyantowfo no fi ɔfasu no so tow agyan bɔɔ wʼasomfo, na ɔhene asomfo no bi wuwui. Wo somfo Uria a ɔyɛ Hetini no nso awu.”
25Dawid ka kyerɛɛ ɔbɔfo no se, “Ka kyerɛ Yoab se: ‘Mma asɛm yi nhaw wo, efisɛ akofena kum obi sɛnea ɛkum ne yɔnko. Ko tia kurow no denneennen na sɛe no.’ Hyɛ no nkuran.”
26Bere a Uria yere tee sɛ ne kunu Uria awu no, osu dii ne kunu ho awerɛhow. 27Bere a awerɛhow bere no twaam no, Dawid somaa wɔkɔfaa no baa ne fi, na ɔbɛyɛɛ ne yere, na ɔwoo ɔbabarima maa no. Nanso nea Dawid yɛe no yɛɛ bɔne wɔ yɛn Agya ani so.
