ΒΑΣΙΛΕΙΩΝ Β´ - 2 Samuele - Kings II 12

LXX	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
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 The LORD sent Nathan to David, and when he came to him, he said: "Judge this case for me! In a certain town there were two men, one rich, the other poor.
2 και τω πλουσιω ην ποιμνια και βουκολια πολλα σφοδρα	2 The rich man had flocks and herds in great numbers.
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 ewe lamb that he had bought. He nourished her, and she grew up with him and his children. She shared the little food he had and drank from his cup and slept in his bosom. 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 Now, the rich man received a visitor, but he would not take from his own flocks and herds to prepare a meal for the wayfarer who had come to him. Instead he took the poor man's ewe lamb and made a meal of it for his visitor."
5 και εθυμωθη οργη δαυιδ σφοδρα τω ανδρι και ειπεν δαυιδ προς ναθαν ζη κυριος οτι υιος θανατου ο ανηρ ο ποιησας τουτο	5 David grew very angry with that man and said to Nathan: "As the LORD lives, the man who has done this merits death!
6 και την αμναδα αποτεισει επταπλασιονα ανθ' ων οτι εποιησεν το ρημα τουτο και περι ου ουκ εφεισατο	6 He shall restore the ewe lamb fourfold because he has done this and has had no 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 Then Nathan said to David: "You are the man! Thus says the LORD God of Israel: 'I anointed you king of Israel. 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 I gave you your lord's house and your lord's wives for your own. I gave you the house of Israel and of Judah. And if this were not enough, I could count up for you still more.
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 Why have you spurned the LORD and done evil in his sight? You have cut down Uriah the Hittite with the sword; you took his wife as your own, and him you killed with the sword of the Ammonites.
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 Now, therefore, the sword shall never depart from your house, because you have despised me and have taken the wife of Uriah to 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 Thus says the LORD: 'I will bring evil upon you out of your own house. I will take your wives while you live to see it, and will give them to your neighbor. He shall lie with your wives in broad daylight.
12 οτι συ εποιησας κρυβη καγω ποιησω το ρημα τουτο εναντιον παντος ισραηλ και απεναντι τουτου του ηλιου	12 You have done this deed in secret, but I will bring it about in the presence of all Israel, and with the sun looking down.'"
13 και ειπεν δαυιδ τω ναθαν ημαρτηκα τω κυριω και ειπεν ναθαν προς δαυιδ και κυριος παρεβιβασεν το αμαρτημα σου ου μη αποθανης	13 Then David said to Nathan, "I have sinned against the LORD." Nathan answered David: "The LORD on his part has forgiven 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 But since you have utterly spurned the LORD by this deed, the child born to you must surely die."
15 και απηλθεν ναθαν εις τον οικον αυτου και εθραυσεν κυριος το παιδιον ο ετεκεν η γυνη ουριου τω δαυιδ και ηρρωστησεν	15 Then Nathan returned to his house. The LORD struck the child that the wife of Uriah had borne to David, and it became desperately ill.
16 και εζητησεν δαυιδ τον θεον περι του παιδαριου και ενηστευσεν δαυιδ νηστειαν και εισηλθεν και ηυλισθη εν σακκω επι της γης	16 David besought God for the child. He kept a fast, retiring for the night to lie on the ground clothed in sackcloth.
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 The elders of his house stood beside him urging him to rise from the ground; but he would not, nor would he take food 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 On the seventh day, the child died. David's servants, however, were afraid to tell him that the child was dead, for they said: "When the child was alive, we spoke to him, but he would not listen to what we said. How can we tell him the child is dead? He may do some harm!"
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 David noticed his servants whispering among themselves and realized that the child was dead. He asked his servants, "Is the child dead?" They replied, "Yes, he is."
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 Rising from the ground, David washed and anointed himself, and changed his clothes. Then he went to the house of the LORD and worshiped. He returned to his own house, where at his request food was set 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 His servants said to him: "What is this you are doing? While the child was living, you fasted and wept and kept vigil; now that the child is dead, you rise and take food."
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 He replied: "While the child was living, I fasted and wept, thinking, 'Perhaps the LORD will grant me the child's life.'
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 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."
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 Then David comforted his wife Bathsheba. He went and slept with her; and she conceived and bore him a son, who was named Solomon. The LORD loved him
25 και απεστειλεν εν χειρι ναθαν του προφητου και εκαλεσεν το ονομα αυτου ιδεδι ενεκεν κυριου	25 and sent the prophet Nathan to name him Jedidiah, on behalf of the LORD.
26 και επολεμησεν ιωαβ εν ραββαθ υιων αμμων και κατελαβεν την πολιν της βασιλειας	26 Joab fought against Rabbah of the Ammonites and captured this royal city.
27 και απεστειλεν ιωαβ αγγελους προς δαυιδ και ειπεν επολεμησα εν ραββαθ και κατελαβομην την πολιν των υδατων	27 He sent messengers to David with the word: "I have fought against Rabbah and have taken the water-city.
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 Therefore, assemble the rest of the soldiers, join the siege against the city and capture it, lest it be I that capture the city and it be credited to me."
29 και συνηγαγεν δαυιδ παντα τον λαον και επορευθη εις ραββαθ και επολεμησεν εν αυτη και κατελαβετο αυτην	29 So David assembled the rest of the soldiers and went to Rabbah. When he had fought against it and captured 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 he took the crown from Milcom's head. It weighed a talent, of gold and precious stones; it was placed on David's head. He brought out immense booty from the city,
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 and also led away the inhabitants, whom he assigned to work with saws, iron picks, and iron axes, or put to work at the brickmold. This is what he did to all the Ammonite cities. David and all the soldiers then returned to Jerusalem.
