Persian Dari Bible - Afgan Dialect - Version Good News for a New Age (GNN) == 2007
اوریا جواب داد: «آیا روا است که صندوق پیمان خداوند، مردم اسرائیل و یهودا، آقایم یوآب و سپاه او بیرون در دشت بخوابند و من بروم بخانۀ خود بخورم و بنوشم و با زنم خواب شوم. بسر تو و به حیات تو قسم است که هرگز این کار را نمی کنم.»
What Does This Mean?
In this verse, Uriah tells King David that he cannot go home to his wife while the ark and other soldiers are camping outside. He feels it would be disrespectful and unfair to enjoy comforts while others are suffering.
Explained for Children
Imagine you have a friend whose family is on a camping trip and having a hard time. You wouldn’t want to go play video games at home when they can’t, right? That’s how Uriah felt about going home to his family while his comrades were camping.
Historical Background
2 Samuel was written by multiple authors, likely including the prophet Nathan and the Chronicler, around the 6th century BC. It records the reign of King David and was meant to inspire and instruct the Israelites about their history and the will of God.
Living It Out Today
Today, we can apply Uriah’s sense of solidarity to our own lives. If your friends are going through a tough time, it’s important to stay connected with them instead of isolating yourself and enjoying comforts they cannot.
