LXX	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 και απεστειλεν κυριος τον ναθαν τον προφητην προς δαυιδ και εισηλθεν προς αυτον και ειπεν αυτω δυο ησαν ανδρες εν πολει μια εις πλουσιος και εις πενης	1 Then the Lord sent Nathan to David. And when he had come to him, he said to him: “Two men were in one city: one wealthy, and the other poor.
2 και τω πλουσιω ην ποιμνια και βουκολια πολλα σφοδρα	2 The wealthy man had very many sheep and oxen.
3 και τω πενητι ουδεν αλλ' η αμνας μια μικρα ην εκτησατο και περιεποιησατο και εξεθρεψεν αυτην και ηδρυνθη μετ' αυτου και μετα των υιων αυτου επι το αυτο εκ του αρτου αυτου ησθιεν και εκ του ποτηριου αυτου επινεν και εν τω κολπω αυτου εκαθευδεν και ην αυτω ως θυγατηρ	3 But the poor man had nothing at all, except one little sheep, which he had bought and nourished. And she had grown up before him, together with his children, eating from his bread, and drinking from his cup, and sleeping in his bosom. And she was like a daughter to him.
4 και ηλθεν παροδος τω ανδρι τω πλουσιω και εφεισατο λαβειν εκ των ποιμνιων αυτου και εκ των βουκολιων αυτου του ποιησαι τω ξενω οδοιπορω ελθοντι προς αυτον και ελαβεν την αμναδα του πενητος και εποιησεν αυτην τω ανδρι τω ελθοντι προς αυτον	4 But when a certain traveler had come to the wealthy man, neglecting to take from his own sheep and oxen, so that he might present a feast for that traveler, who had come to him, he took the sheep of the poor man, and he prepared a meal for the man who had come to him.”
5 και εθυμωθη οργη δαυιδ σφοδρα τω ανδρι και ειπεν δαυιδ προς ναθαν ζη κυριος οτι υιος θανατου ο ανηρ ο ποιησας τουτο	5 Then David’s indignation was enraged exceedingly against that man, and he said to Nathan: “As the Lord lives, the man who has done this is a son of death.
6 και την αμναδα αποτεισει επταπλασιονα ανθ' ων οτι εποιησεν το ρημα τουτο και περι ου ουκ εφεισατο	6 He shall restore the sheep fourfold, because he did this word, and he did not take pity.”
7 και ειπεν ναθαν προς δαυιδ συ ει ο ανηρ ο ποιησας τουτο ταδε λεγει κυριος ο θεος ισραηλ εγω ειμι εχρισα σε εις βασιλεα επι ισραηλ και εγω ειμι ερρυσαμην σε εκ χειρος σαουλ	7 But Nathan said to David: “You are that man. Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: ‘I anointed you as king over Israel, and I rescued you from the hand of Saul.
8 και εδωκα σοι τον οικον του κυριου σου και τας γυναικας του κυριου σου εν τω κολπω σου και εδωκα σοι τον οικον ισραηλ και ιουδα και ει μικρον εστιν προσθησω σοι κατα ταυτα	8 And I gave the house of your lord to you, and the wives of your lord into your bosom. And I gave the house of Israel and of Judah to you. And as if these things were small, I shall add much greater things to you.
9 τι οτι εφαυλισας τον λογον κυριου του ποιησαι το πονηρον εν οφθαλμοις αυτου τον ουριαν τον χετταιον επαταξας εν ρομφαια και την γυναικα αυτου ελαβες σεαυτω εις γυναικα και αυτον απεκτεινας εν ρομφαια υιων αμμων	9 Therefore, why have you despised the word of the Lord, so that you did evil in my sight? You have struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword. And you have taken his wife as a wife for yourself. And you have put him to death with the sword of the sons of Ammon.
10 και νυν ουκ αποστησεται ρομφαια εκ του οικου σου εως αιωνος ανθ' ων οτι εξουδενωσας με και ελαβες την γυναικα του ουριου του χετταιου του ειναι σοι εις γυναικα	10 For this reason, the sword shall not withdraw from your house, even perpetually, because you have despised me, and you have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite, so that she may be your wife.’
11 ταδε λεγει κυριος ιδου εγω εξεγειρω επι σε κακα εκ του οικου σου και λημψομαι τας γυναικας σου κατ' οφθαλμους σου και δωσω τω πλησιον σου και κοιμηθησεται μετα των γυναικων σου εναντιον του ηλιου τουτου	11 And so, thus says the Lord: ‘Behold, I will raise up over you an evil from your own house. And I will take your wives away before your eyes, and I will give them to your neighbor. And he will sleep with your wives in the sight of this sun.
12 οτι συ εποιησας κρυβη καγω ποιησω το ρημα τουτο εναντιον παντος ισραηλ και απεναντι τουτου του ηλιου	12 For you acted secretly. But I will do this word in the sight of all of Israel, and in the sight of the sun.’ ”
13 και ειπεν δαυιδ τω ναθαν ημαρτηκα τω κυριω και ειπεν ναθαν προς δαυιδ και κυριος παρεβιβασεν το αμαρτημα σου ου μη αποθανης	13 And David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the Lord.” And Nathan said to David: “The Lord has also taken away your sin. You shall not die.
14 πλην οτι παροξυνων παρωξυνας τους εχθρους κυριου εν τω ρηματι τουτω και γε ο υιος σου ο τεχθεις σοι θανατω αποθανειται	14 Yet truly, because you have given occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme, because of this word, the son who was born to you: dying he shall die.”
15 και απηλθεν ναθαν εις τον οικον αυτου και εθραυσεν κυριος το παιδιον ο ετεκεν η γυνη ουριου τω δαυιδ και ηρρωστησεν	15 And Nathan returned to his own house. And the Lord struck the little one, whom the wife of Uriah had borne to David, and he was despaired of.
16 και εζητησεν δαυιδ τον θεον περι του παιδαριου και ενηστευσεν δαυιδ νηστειαν και εισηλθεν και ηυλισθη εν σακκω επι της γης	16 And David begged the Lord on behalf of the little one. And David fasted strictly, and entering alone, he lay upon the ground.
17 και ανεστησαν επ' αυτον οι πρεσβυτεροι του οικου αυτου του εγειραι αυτον απο της γης και ουκ ηθελησεν και ου συνεφαγεν αυτοις αρτον	17 Then the elders of his house came, urging him to rise up from the ground. And he was not willing, nor would he eat a meal with them.
18 και εγενετο εν τη ημερα τη εβδομη και απεθανε το παιδαριον και εφοβηθησαν οι δουλοι δαυιδ αναγγειλαι αυτω οτι τεθνηκεν το παιδαριον οτι ειπαν ιδου εν τω ετι το παιδαριον ζην ελαλησαμεν προς αυτον και ουκ εισηκουσεν της φωνης ημων και πως ειπωμεν προς αυτον οτι τεθνηκεν το παιδαριον και ποιησει κακα	18 Then, on the seventh day, it happened that the infant died. And the servants of David were afraid to report to him that the little one had died. For they said: “Behold, when the child was still alive, we were speaking to him, but he would not listen to our voice. How much more will he afflict himself, if we tell him that the boy is dead?”
19 και συνηκεν δαυιδ οτι οι παιδες αυτου ψιθυριζουσιν και ενοησεν δαυιδ οτι τεθνηκεν το παιδαριον και ειπεν δαυιδ προς τους παιδας αυτου ει τεθνηκεν το παιδαριον και ειπαν τεθνηκεν	19 But when David had seen his servants whispering, he realized that the infant had died. And he said to his servants, “Is the child dead?” And they responded to him, “He is dead.”
20 και ανεστη δαυιδ εκ της γης και ελουσατο και ηλειψατο και ηλλαξεν τα ιματια αυτου και εισηλθεν εις τον οικον του θεου και προσεκυνησεν αυτω και εισηλθεν εις τον οικον αυτου και ητησεν αρτον φαγειν και παρεθηκαν αυτω αρτον και εφαγεν	20 Therefore, David rose up from the ground. And he washed and anointed himself. And when he had changed his clothing, he entered the house of the Lord, and he worshiped. Then he went to his own house, and he asked them to place bread before him, and he ate.
21 και ειπαν οι παιδες αυτου προς αυτον τι το ρημα τουτο ο εποιησας ενεκα του παιδαριου ετι ζωντος ενηστευες και εκλαιες και ηγρυπνεις και ηνικα απεθανεν το παιδαριον ανεστης και εφαγες αρτον και πεπωκας	21 But his servants said to him: “What is this word that you have done? You fasted and were weeping, on behalf of the infant, while he was still alive. But when the boy was dead, you arose and ate bread.”
22 και ειπεν δαυιδ εν τω το παιδαριον ετι ζην ενηστευσα και εκλαυσα οτι ειπα τις οιδεν ει ελεησει με κυριος και ζησεται το παιδαριον	22 And he said: “While he was yet alive, I fasted and wept on behalf of the infant. For I said: Who knows if the Lord may perhaps give him to me, and let the infant live?
23 και νυν τεθνηκεν ινα τι τουτο εγω νηστευω μη δυνησομαι επιστρεψαι αυτο ετι εγω πορευσομαι προς αυτον και αυτος ουκ αναστρεψει προς με	23 But now that he is dead, why should I fast? Would I be able to bring him back anymore? Instead, I will go to him. Yet truly, he will not return to me.”
24 και παρεκαλεσεν δαυιδ βηρσαβεε την γυναικα αυτου και εισηλθεν προς αυτην και εκοιμηθη μετ' αυτης και συνελαβεν και ετεκεν υιον και εκαλεσεν το ονομα αυτου σαλωμων και κυριος ηγαπησεν αυτον	24 And David consoled his wife Bathsheba. And entering to her, he slept with her. And she bore a son, and he called his name Solomon, and the Lord loved him.
25 και απεστειλεν εν χειρι ναθαν του προφητου και εκαλεσεν το ονομα αυτου ιδεδι ενεκεν κυριου	25 And he sent, by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and he called his name, Beloved of the Lord, because the Lord loved him.
26 και επολεμησεν ιωαβ εν ραββαθ υιων αμμων και κατελαβεν την πολιν της βασιλειας	26 And then Joab fought against Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, and he fought outside the royal city.
27 και απεστειλεν ιωαβ αγγελους προς δαυιδ και ειπεν επολεμησα εν ραββαθ και κατελαβομην την πολιν των υδατων	27 And Joab sent messengers to David, saying: “I have struggled against Rabbah, and so the City of Waters will soon be seized.
28 και νυν συναγαγε το καταλοιπον του λαου και παρεμβαλε επι την πολιν και προκαταλαβου αυτην ινα μη προκαταλαβωμαι εγω την πολιν και κληθη το ονομα μου επ' αυτην	28 Now therefore, gather the remaining portion of the people together, and besiege the city and take it. Otherwise, when the city will have been laid waste by me, the victory will be ascribed to my name.”
29 και συνηγαγεν δαυιδ παντα τον λαον και επορευθη εις ραββαθ και επολεμησεν εν αυτη και κατελαβετο αυτην	29 And so David gathered together all the people, and he set out against Rabbah. And after he had fought, he seized it.
30 και ελαβεν τον στεφανον μελχολ του βασιλεως αυτων απο της κεφαλης αυτου και ο σταθμος αυτου ταλαντον χρυσιου και λιθου τιμιου και ην επι της κεφαλης δαυιδ και σκυλα της πολεως εξηνεγκεν πολλα σφοδρα	30 And he took the crown of their king from his head. The weight of it was a talent of gold, having the most precious gems. And it was placed upon the head of David. Moreover, he carried away the spoils of the city, which were very many.
31 και τον λαον τον οντα εν αυτη εξηγαγεν και εθηκεν εν τω πριονι και εν τοις τριβολοις τοις σιδηροις και διηγαγεν αυτους δια του πλινθειου και ουτως εποιησεν πασαις ταις πολεσιν υιων αμμων και επεστρεψεν δαυιδ και πας ο λαος εις ιερουσαλημ	31 Also, bringing forth its people, he sawed them, and he drove over them with iron wagons, and he divided them with knives, and he dragged them through brick kilns. So he did to all the citizens of the sons of Ammon. And David returned, with the entire army, to Jerusalem.
