2 Samuel 12

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	GREEK BIBLE
1 And the LORD sent Nathan to David. He came to him, and said to him, "There were two men in a certain 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 very many flocks and herds;	2 Ο πλουσιος ειχε ποιμνια και βουκολια πολλα σφοδρα?
3 but the poor man had nothing but one little ewe lamb, which he had bought. And he brought it up, and it grew up with him and with his children; it used to eat of his morsel, and drink from his cup, and lie in his bosom, and it was like a daughter to him.	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 Now there came a traveler to the rich man, and he was unwilling to take one of his own flock or herd to prepare for the wayfarer who had come to him, but he took the poor man's lamb, and prepared it for the man who had 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 Then David's anger was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, "As the LORD lives, the man who has done this deserves to die;	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 and he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity."	6 και θελει πληρωσει την αμναδα τετραπλασιον, επειδη επραξε το πραγμα τουτο και επειδη δεν εσπλαγχνισθη.
7 Nathan said to David, "You are the man. Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, 'I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you out of 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 I gave you your master's house, and your master's wives into your bosom, and gave you the house of Israel and of Judah; and if this were too little, I would add to you as much more.	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 have you despised the word of the LORD, to do what is evil in his sight? You have smitten Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and have taken his wife to be your wife, and have slain him with the sword of the Ammonites.	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 Now therefore the sword shall never depart from your house, because you have despised me, and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your 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 says the LORD, 'Behold, I will raise up evil against you out of your own house; and I will take your wives before your eyes, and give them to your neighbor, and he shall lie with your 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 you did it secretly; but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.'"	12 διοτι συ επραξας κρυφιως? αλλ' εγω θελω καμει τουτο το πραγμα εμπροσθεν παντος του Ισραηλ και κατεναντι του ηλιου.
13 David said to Nathan, "I have sinned against the LORD." And Nathan said to David, "The LORD also has put away your sin; you shall 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 by this deed you have utterly scorned the LORD, the child that is born to you shall 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 Then Nathan went to his house. And the LORD struck the child that Uriah's wife bore to David, and it became sick.	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 David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in and lay all night 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 elders of his house stood beside him, to raise him from the ground; but he would not, nor did he eat food 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 On the seventh day the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead; for they said, "Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spoke to him, and he did not listen to us; how then can we say to him the child is dead? He may do himself some harm."	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 that his servants were whispering together, David perceived that the child was dead; and David said to his servants, "Is the child dead?" They said, "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 earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his clothes; and he went into the house of the LORD, and worshipped; he then went to his own house; and when he asked, they set food before him, and he 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 Then his servants said to him, "What is this thing that you have done? You fasted and wept for the child while it was alive; but when the child died, you arose and ate food."	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 He said, "While the child was still alive, I fasted and wept; for I said, 'Who knows whether the LORD will be gracious to me, that 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 he is dead; why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he will 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 Then David comforted his wife, Bathsheba, and went in to her, and lay with her; 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 sent a message by Nathan the prophet; so he called his name Jedidiah, because of the LORD.	25 Και εστειλε δια χειρος Ναθαν του προφητου, και εκαλεσε το ονομα αυτου Ιεδιδια, δια τον Κυριον.
26 Now Joab fought against Rabbah of the Ammonites, and took 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, and said, "I have fought against Rabbah; moreover, I have taken the city of waters.	27 Και απεστειλεν ο Ιωαβ μηνυτας προς τον Δαβιδ και ειπεν, Επολεμησα εναντιον της Ραββα, μαλιστα εκυριευσα την πολιν των υδατων?
28 Now, then, gather the rest of the people together, and encamp against the city, and take it; lest I take the city, and it be called by 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 So David gathered all the people together and went to Rabbah, and fought against it and 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 it was a talent of gold, and in it was a precious stone; and it was placed on David's head. And he brought forth the spoil of the city, a very great amount.	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 he brought forth the people who were in it, and set them to labor with saws and iron picks and iron axes, and made them toil at the brickkilns; and thus he did to all the cities of the Ammonites. Then David and all the people returned 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.
