LXX	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 και εγενετο επιστρεψαντος του ενιαυτου εις τον καιρον της εξοδιας των βασιλεων και απεστειλεν δαυιδ τον ιωαβ και τους παιδας αυτου μετ' αυτου και τον παντα ισραηλ και διεφθειραν τους υιους αμμων και διεκαθισαν επι ραββαθ και δαυιδ εκαθισεν εν ιερουσαλημ	1 Now it happened that, at the turn of the year, in the time when kings usually go forth to war, David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all of Israel, and they laid waste to the sons of Ammon, and they besieged Rabbah. But David remained in Jerusalem.
2 και εγενετο προς εσπεραν και ανεστη δαυιδ απο της κοιτης αυτου και περιεπατει επι του δωματος του οικου του βασιλεως και ειδεν γυναικα λουομενην απο του δωματος και η γυνη καλη τω ειδει σφοδρα	2 While these things were taking place, David happened to arise from his bed after midday, and he walked upon the terrace of the king’s house. And he saw, across from his terrace, a woman washing herself. And the woman was very beautiful.
3 και απεστειλεν δαυιδ και εζητησεν την γυναικα και ειπεν ουχι αυτη βηρσαβεε θυγατηρ ελιαβ γυνη ουριου του χετταιου	3 Therefore, the king sent and inquired who the woman might be. And it was reported to him that she was Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah, the Hittite.
4 και απεστειλεν δαυιδ αγγελους και ελαβεν αυτην και εισηλθεν προς αυτον και εκοιμηθη μετ' αυτης και αυτη αγιαζομενη απο ακαθαρσιας αυτης και απεστρεψεν εις τον οικον αυτης	4 And so, David sent messengers, and he took her. And when she had entered to him, he slept with her. And presently, she was purified from her uncleanness.
5 και εν γαστρι ελαβεν η γυνη και αποστειλασα απηγγειλεν τω δαυιδ και ειπεν εγω ειμι εν γαστρι εχω	5 And she returned to her house, having conceived an unborn child. And sending, she informed David, and she said, “I have conceived.”
6 και απεστειλεν δαυιδ προς ιωαβ λεγων αποστειλον προς με τον ουριαν τον χετταιον και απεστειλεν ιωαβ τον ουριαν προς δαυιδ	6 Then David sent to Joab, saying, “Send me Uriah, the Hittite.” And Joab sent Uriah to David.
7 και παραγινεται ουριας και εισηλθεν προς αυτον και επηρωτησεν δαυιδ εις ειρηνην ιωαβ και εις ειρηνην του λαου και εις ειρηνην του πολεμου	7 And Uriah went to David. And David inquired whether Joab was doing well, and about the people, and how the war was being conducted.
8 και ειπεν δαυιδ τω ουρια καταβηθι εις τον οικον σου και νιψαι τους ποδας σου και εξηλθεν ουριας εξ οικου του βασιλεως και εξηλθεν οπισω αυτου αρσις του βασιλεως	8 And David said to Uriah, “Go into your house, and wash your feet.” And Uriah departed from the house of the king. And a meal from the king followed after him.
9 και εκοιμηθη ουριας παρα τη θυρα του βασιλεως μετα των δουλων του κυριου αυτου και ου κατεβη εις τον οικον αυτου	9 But Uriah slept before the gate of the king’s house, with the other servants of his lord, and he did not go down to his own house.
10 και ανηγγειλαν τω δαυιδ λεγοντες οτι ου κατεβη ουριας εις τον οικον αυτου και ειπεν δαυιδ προς ουριαν ουχι εξ οδου συ ερχη τι οτι ου κατεβης εις τον οικον σου	10 And it was reported to David by some, saying, “Uriah did not go into his house.” And David said to Uriah: “Did you not arrive from a journey? Why did you not go down to your house?”
11 και ειπεν ουριας προς δαυιδ η κιβωτος και ισραηλ και ιουδας κατοικουσιν εν σκηναις και ο κυριος μου ιωαβ και οι δουλοι του κυριου μου επι προσωπον του αγρου παρεμβαλλουσιν και εγω εισελευσομαι εις τον οικον μου φαγειν και πιειν και κοιμηθηναι μετα της γυναικος μου πως ζη η ψυχη σου ει ποιησω το ρημα τουτο	11 And Uriah said to David: “The ark of God, and Israel and Judah, dwell in tents, and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, stay upon the face of the earth. And should I then go into my own house, so that I may eat and drink, and sleep with my wife? By your welfare and by the welfare of your soul, I will not do this thing.”
12 και ειπεν δαυιδ προς ουριαν καθισον ενταυθα και γε σημερον και αυριον εξαποστελω σε και εκαθισεν ουριας εν ιερουσαλημ εν τη ημερα εκεινη και τη επαυριον	12 Therefore, David said to Uriah, “Even so, remain here today, and tomorrow I will send you away.” So Uriah remained in Jerusalem, on that day and the next.
13 και εκαλεσεν αυτον δαυιδ και εφαγεν ενωπιον αυτου και επιεν και εμεθυσεν αυτον και εξηλθεν εσπερας του κοιμηθηναι επι της κοιτης αυτου μετα των δουλων του κυριου αυτου και εις τον οικον αυτου ου κατεβη	13 And David called him, so that he might eat and drink before him, and he made him inebriated. And departing in the evening, he slept on his bedding, with the servants of his lord, and he did not go down to his own house.
14 και εγενετο πρωι και εγραψεν δαυιδ βιβλιον προς ιωαβ και απεστειλεν εν χειρι ουριου	14 Therefore, when morning arrived, David wrote a letter to Joab. And he sent it by the hand of Uriah,
15 και εγραψεν εν τω βιβλιω λεγων εισαγαγε τον ουριαν εξ εναντιας του πολεμου του κραταιου και αποστραφησεσθε απο οπισθεν αυτου και πληγησεται και αποθανειται	15 writing in the letter: “Place Uriah opposite the warfare, where the battle is the strongest, and then abandon him, so that, having been wounded, he may die.”
16 και εγενηθη εν τω φυλασσειν ιωαβ επι την πολιν και εθηκεν τον ουριαν εις τον τοπον ου ηδει οτι ανδρες δυναμεως εκει	16 And so, when Joab was besieging the city, he positioned Uriah in the place where he knew the strongest men to be.
17 και εξηλθον οι ανδρες της πολεως και επολεμουν μετα ιωαβ και επεσαν εκ του λαου εκ των δουλων δαυιδ και απεθανεν και γε ουριας ο χετταιος	17 And the men, departing from the city, made war against Joab. And some of the people among the servants of David fell, and Uriah the Hittite also died.
18 και απεστειλεν ιωαβ και απηγγειλεν τω βασιλει παντας τους λογους του πολεμου	18 And so, Joab sent and reported to David every word about the battle.
19 και ενετειλατο τω αγγελω λεγων εν τω συντελεσαι σε παντας τους λογους του πολεμου λαλησαι προς τον βασιλεα	19 And he instructed the messenger, saying: “When you have completed all the words about the war to the king,
20 και εσται εαν αναβη ο θυμος του βασιλεως και ειπη σοι τι οτι ηγγισατε προς την πολιν πολεμησαι ουκ ηδειτε οτι τοξευσουσιν απανωθεν του τειχους	20 if you see him to be angry, and if he says: ‘Why did you draw near to the wall in order to fight? Are you ignorant that many darts are thrown from above the wall?
21 τις επαταξεν τον αβιμελεχ υιον ιεροβααλ ουχι γυνη ερριψεν επ' αυτον κλασμα μυλου επανωθεν του τειχους και απεθανεν εν θαμασι ινα τι προσηγαγετε προς το τειχος και ερεις και γε ουριας ο δουλος σου ο χετταιος απεθανεν	21 Who struck down Abimelech, the son of Jerubbaal? Did not a woman throw a fragment of a millstone upon him from the wall, and so kill him at Thebez? Why did you approach beside the wall?’ then you shall say: ‘Your servant Uriah, the Hittite, also lies dead.’ ”
22 και επορευθη ο αγγελος ιωαβ προς τον βασιλεα εις ιερουσαλημ και παρεγενετο και απηγγειλεν τω δαυιδ παντα οσα απηγγειλεν αυτω ιωαβ παντα τα ρηματα του πολεμου και εθυμωθη δαυιδ προς ιωαβ και ειπεν προς τον αγγελον ινα τι προσηγαγετε προς την πολιν του πολεμησαι ουκ ηδειτε οτι πληγησεσθε απο του τειχους τις επαταξεν τον αβιμελεχ υιον ιεροβααλ ουχι γυνη ερριψεν επ' αυτον κλασμα μυλου απο του τειχους και απεθανεν εν θαμασι ινα τι προσηγαγετε προς το τειχος	22 Therefore, the messenger departed. And he went and described to David all that Joab had instructed him.
23 και ειπεν ο αγγελος προς δαυιδ οτι εκραταιωσαν εφ' ημας οι ανδρες και εξηλθαν εφ' ημας εις τον αγρον και εγενηθημεν επ' αυτους εως της θυρας της πυλης	23 And the messenger said to David: “The men prevailed against us, and they went out to us in the field. Then we pursued them, making an assault, even to the gate of the city.
24 και ετοξευσαν οι τοξευοντες προς τους παιδας σου απανωθεν του τειχους και απεθαναν των παιδων του βασιλεως και γε ο δουλος σου ουριας ο χετταιος απεθανεν	24 And the archers directed their arrows at your servants from the wall above. And some of the king’s servants died, and then also your servant Uriah the Hittite died.”
25 και ειπεν δαυιδ προς τον αγγελον ταδε ερεις προς ιωαβ μη πονηρον εστω εν οφθαλμοις σου το ρημα τουτο οτι ποτε μεν ουτως και ποτε ουτως φαγεται η μαχαιρα κραταιωσον τον πολεμον σου προς την πολιν και κατασπασον αυτην και κραταιωσον αυτον	25 And David said to the messenger: “You shall say these things to Joab: ‘Do not let this matter dishearten you. For varied are the events of war. Now this one, and now that one, is consumed by the sword. Encourage your warriors against the city and exhort them, so that you may destroy it.’ ”
26 και ηκουσεν η γυνη ουριου οτι απεθανεν ουριας ο ανηρ αυτης και εκοψατο τον ανδρα αυτης	26 Then the wife of Uriah heard that her husband Uriah had died, and she mourned for him.
27 και διηλθεν το πενθος και απεστειλεν δαυιδ και συνηγαγεν αυτην εις τον οικον αυτου και εγενηθη αυτω εις γυναικα και ετεκεν αυτω υιον και πονηρον εφανη το ρημα ο εποιησεν δαυιδ εν οφθαλμοις κυριου	27 But when the lamentation was completed, David sent and brought her into his house, and she became his wife, and she bore a son to him. And this word, which David had done, was displeasing in the sight of the Lord.
