2 Samuel 12

DOUAI-RHEIMS	GREEK BIBLE
1 And the Lord sent Nathan to David: and when he was come to him, he said to him: There were two men in one city, the one rich, and the other poor.	1 Και απεστειλεν ο Κυριος τον Ναθαν προς τον Δαβιδ. Και ηλθε προς αυτον και ειπε προς αυτον, Ησαν δυο ανδρες εν πολει τινι, ο εις πλουσιος, ο δε αλλος πτωχος.
2 The rich man had exceeding many sheep and oxen.	2 Ο πλουσιος ειχε ποιμνια και βουκολια πολλα σφοδρα?
3 But the poor man had nothing at all but one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up, and which had grown up in his house together with his children, eating of his bread, and drinking of his cup, and sleeping in his bosom: and it was unto him as a daughter.	3 ο δε πτωχος δεν ειχεν αλλο, ειμη μιαν μικραν αμναδα, την οποιαν ηγορασε και εθρεψε? και εμεγαλωσε μετ' αυτου και μετα των τεκνων αυτου ομου? απο του αρτου αυτου ετρωγε, και απο του ποτηριου αυτου επινε, και εν τω κολπω αυτου εκοιματο, και ητο εις αυτον ως θυγατηρ.
4 And when a certain stranger was come to the rich man, he spared to take of his own sheep and oxen, to make a feast for that stranger, who was come to him, but took the poor man's ewe, and dressed it for the man that was come to him.	4 Ηλθε δε τις διαβατης προς τον πλουσιον και εφειδωλευθη να λαβη εκ των ποιμνιων αυτου και εκ των αγελων αυτου, δια να ετοιμαση εις τον οδοιπορον τον ελθοντα προς αυτον, και ελαβε την αμναδα του πτωχου και ητοιμασεν αυτην δια τον ανθρωπον τον ελθοντα προς αυτον.
5 And David's anger being exceedingly kindled against that man, he said to Nathan: As the Lord liveth, the man that hath done this is a child of death.	5 Και εξηφθη η οργη του Δαβιδ κατα του ανθρωπου σφοδρα? και ειπε προς τον Ναθαν, Ζη Κυριος, αξιος θανατου ειναι ο ανθρωπος, οστις επραξε τουτο?
6 He shall restore the ewe fourfold, because he did this thing, and had no pity.	6 και θελει πληρωσει την αμναδα τετραπλασιον, επειδη επραξε το πραγμα τουτο και επειδη δεν εσπλαγχνισθη.
7 And Nathan said to David: Thou art the man. Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee from the hand of Saul,	7 Και ειπεν ο Ναθαν προς τον Δαβιδ, Συ εισαι ο ανθρωπος? ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος του Ισραηλ? Εγω σε εχρισα βασιλεα επι τον Ισραηλ, και εγω σε ηλευθερωσα εκ χειρος του Σαουλ?
8 And gave thee thy master's house and thy master's wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and Juda: and if these things be little, I shall add far greater things unto thee.	8 και εδωκα εις σε τον οικον του κυριου σου και τας γυναικας του κυριου σου εις τον κολπον σου, και εδωκα εις σε τον οικον του Ισραηλ και του Ιουδα? και εαν τουτο ητο ολιγον, ηθελον προσθεσει εις σε τοιαυτα και τοιαυτα?
9 Why therefore hast thou despised the word of the Lord, to do evil in my sight? Thou hast killed Urias the Hethite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.	9 δια τι κατεφρονησας τον λογον του Κυριου, ωστε να πραξης το κακον εις τους οφθαλμους αυτου; Ουριαν τον Χετταιον επαταξας εν ρομφαια, και την γυναικα αυτου ελαβες εις σεαυτον γυναικα, και αυτον εθανατωσας εν τη ρομφαια των υιων Αμμων?
10 Therefore the sword shall never depart from thy house, because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Urias the Hethite to be thy wife.	10 τωρα λοιπον δεν θελει αποσυρθη ποτε ρομφαια εκ του οικου σου? επειδη με κατεφρονησας και ελαβες την γυναικα Ουριου του Χετταιου, δια να ηναι γυνη σου.
11 Thus saith the Lord: Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thy own house, and I will take thy wives before thy eyes I and give them to thy neighhour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun.	11 Ουτω λεγει Κυριος? Ιδου, θελω επεγειρει εναντιον σου κακα εκ του οικου σου, και θελω λαβει τας γυναικας σου εμπροσθεν των οφθαλμων σου και δωσει αυτας εις τον πλησιον σου, και θελει κοιμηθη μετα των γυναικων σου ενωπιον του ηλιου τουτου?
12 For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing in the sight of all Israel, and in the sight of the sun.	12 διοτι συ επραξας κρυφιως? αλλ' εγω θελω καμει τουτο το πραγμα εμπροσθεν παντος του Ισραηλ και κατεναντι του ηλιου.
13 And David said to Nathan: I have sinned against the Lord. And Nathan said to David: The Lord also hath taken away thy sin: thou shalt not die.	13 Και ειπεν ο Δαβιδ προς τον Ναθαν, Ημαρτησα εις τον Κυριον. Ο δε Ναθαν ειπε προς τον Δαβιδ, Και ο Κυριος παρεβλεψε το αμαρτημα σου? δεν θελεις αποθανει?
14 Nevertheless, because thou hast given occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme, for this thing, the child that is born to thee, shall surely die.	14 επειδη ομως δια ταυτης της πραξεως εδωκας μεγαλην αφορμην εις τους εχθρους του Κυριου να βλασφημωσι, δια τουτο το παιδιον το γεννηθεν εις σε εξαπαντος θελει αποθανει.
15 And Nathan returned to his house. The Lord also struck the child which the wife of Urias had borne to David, and his life was despaired of.	15 Και απηλθεν ο Ναθαν εις τον οικον αυτου. Ο δε Κυριος επαταξε το παιδιον, το οποιον εγεννησεν η γυνη του Ουριου εις τον Δαβιδ, και ηρρωστησε.
16 And David besought the Lord for the child: and David kept a fast, and going in by himself lay upon the ground.	16 Και ικετευσεν ο Δαβιδ τον Θεον υπερ του παιδιου? και ενηστευσεν ο Δαβιδ και εισελθων διενυκτερευσε, κοιτομενος κατα γης.
17 And the ancients of his house came, to make him rise from the ground: but he would not, neither did he eat meat with them.	17 Και εσηκωθησαν οι πρεσβυτεροι του οικου αυτου, και ηλθον προς αυτον δια να σηκωσωσιν αυτον απο της γης? πλην δεν ηθελησεν ουδε εφαγεν αρτον μετ' αυτων.
18 And it came to pass on the seventh day that the child died: and the servants of David feared to tell him, that the child was dead. For they said: Behold when the child was yet alive, we spoke to him, and he would not hearken to our voice: how much more will he afflict himself if we tell him that the child is dead?	18 Και την ημεραν την εβδομην απεθανε το παιδιον. Και εφοβηθησαν οι δουλοι του Δαβιδ να αναγγειλωσι προς αυτον οτι το παιδιον απεθανε? διοτι ελεγον, Ιδου, ενω εζη ετι το παιδιον, ελαλουμεν προς αυτον, και δεν εισηκουε της φωνης ημων? ποσον λοιπον κακον θελει καμει, εαν ειπωμεν προς αυτον οτι το παιδιον απεθανεν;
19 But when David saw his servants whispering, he understood that the child was dead: and he said to his servants: Is the child dead? They answered him: He is dead.	19 Αλλ' ιδων ο Δαβιδ οτι οι δουλοι αυτου εψιθυριζον μετ' αλληλων, ενοησεν ο Δαβιδ οτι το παιδιον απεθανεν? οθεν ειπεν ο Δαβιδ προς τους δουλους αυτου, Απεθανε το παιδιον; οι δε ειπον, Απεθανε.
20 Then David arose from the ground, and washed and anointed himself: and when he had changed his apparel, he went into the house of the Lord: and worshipped, and then he came into his own house, and he called for bread, and ate.	20 Τοτε εσηκωθη ο Δαβιδ απο της γης και ελουσθη και ηλειφθη και ηλλαξε τα ιματια αυτου, και εισηλθεν εις τον οικον του Κυριου, και προσεκυνησεν? επειτα εισηλθεν εις τον οικον αυτου? και εζητησε να φαγη και εβαλον εμπροσθεν αυτου αρτον, και εφαγεν.
21 And his servants said to him: What thing is this that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, while it was alive, but when the child was dead, thou didst rise up, and eat bread.	21 Οι δε δουλοι αυτου ειπον προς αυτον, Τι ειναι τουτο, το οποιον εκαμες; ενηστευες και εκλαιες περι του παιδιου, ενω εζη? αφου δε απεθανε το παιδιον, εσηκωθης και εφαγες αρτον.
22 And he said: While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept for him: for I said: Who knoweth whether the Lord may not give him to me, and the child may live?	22 Και ειπεν, Ενω ετι εζη το παιδιον, ενηστευσα και εκλαυσα, διοτι ειπα, Τις εξευρει; ισως ο Θεος με ελεηση, και ζηση το παιδιον?
23 But now that he is dead, why should I fast? Shall I be able to bring him back any more? I shall go to him rather: but he shall not return to me.	23 αλλα τωρα απεθανε? δια τι να νηστευω; μηπως δυναμαι να επιστρεψω αυτο παλιν; εγω θελω υπαγει προς αυτο, αυτο ομως δεν θελει αναστρεψει προς εμε.
24 And David comforted Bethsabee his wife, and went in unto her, and slept with her: I and she bore a son, and he called his name Solomon, and the Lord loved him.	24 Και παρηγορησεν ο Δαβιδ την Βηθ-σαβεε την γυναικα αυτου, και εισηλθε προς αυτην και εκοιμηθη μετ' αυτης, και εγεννησεν υιον, και εκαλεσε το ονομα αυτου Σολομων? και ο Κυριος ηγαπησεν αυτον.
25 And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and called his name, Amiable to the Lord, because the Lord loved him.	25 Και εστειλε δια χειρος Ναθαν του προφητου, και εκαλεσε το ονομα αυτου Ιεδιδια, δια τον Κυριον.
26 And Joab fought against Rabbath of the children of Ammon, and laid close siege to the royal city.	26 Ο δε Ιωαβ επολεμησεν εναντιον της Ραββα των υιων Αμμων, και εκυριευσε την βασιλικην πολιν.
27 And Joab sent messengers to David, saying: I have fought against Rabbath, and the city of waters is about to be taken.	27 Και απεστειλεν ο Ιωαβ μηνυτας προς τον Δαβιδ και ειπεν, Επολεμησα εναντιον της Ραββα, μαλιστα εκυριευσα την πολιν των υδατων?
28 Now therefore gather thou the rest of the people together, and besiege the city and take it: lest when the city shall be wasted by me, the victory be ascribed to my name.	28 τωρα λοιπον συναξον το επιλοιπον του λαου, και στρατοπεδευσον εναντιον της πολεως και κυριευσον αυτην, δια να μη κυριευσω εγω την πολιν, και ονομασθη το ονομα μου επ' αυτην.
29 Then David gathered all the people together, and went out against Rabbath: and after fighting, he took it.	29 Και συνηθροισεν ο Δαβιδ παντα τον λαον, και υπηγεν εις Ραββα και επολεμησεν εναντιον αυτης και εκυριευσεν αυτην?
30 And he took the crown of their king from his head, the weight of which was a talent of gold, set with most precious stones, and it was put upon David's head, and the spoils of the city which were very great he carried away.	30 και ελαβε τον στεφανον του βασιλεως αυτων απο της κεφαλης αυτου, το βαρος του οποιου ητο εν ταλαντον χρυσιου με λιθους πολυτιμους? και ετεθη επι της κεφαλης του Δαβιδ? και λαφυρα της πολεως εξεφερε πολλα σφοδρα?
31 And bringing forth the people thereof he sawed them, and drove over them chariots armed with iron: and divided them with knives, and made them pass through brickkilns: so did he to all the cities of the children of Ammon: and David returned, with all the army to Jerusalem.	31 και τον λαον τον εν αυτη εξηγαγε και εβαλεν υπο πριονας και υπο τριβολους σιδηρους και υπο πελεκεις σιδηρους, και επερασεν αυτους δια της καμινου των πλινθων. Και ουτως εκαμεν εις πασας τας πολεις των υιων Αμμων. Τοτε επεστρεψεν ο Δαβιδ και πας ο λαος εις Ιερουσαλημ.
