2 Samuel 11

DOUAI-RHEIMS	GREEK BIBLE
1 And it came to pass at the return of the year, at the time when kings go forth to war, that David sent Joab and his servants with him, and all Israel, and they spoiled the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabba: but David remained in Jerusalem.	1 Εν δε τω ακολουθω ετει, καθ' ον καιρον εκστρατευουσιν οι βασιλεις, απεστειλεν ο Δαβιδ τον Ιωαβ και τους δουλους αυτου μετ' αυτου και παντα τον Ισραηλ? και κατεστρεψαν τους υιους Αμμων και επολιορκησαν την Ραββα. Ο δε Δαβιδ εμεινεν εν Ιερουσαλημ.
2 In the mean time it happened that David arose from his bed after noon, and walked upon the roof of the king's house: and he saw from the roof of his house a woman washing herself, over against him: and the woman was very beautiful.	2 Και προς το εσπερας, οτε ο Δαβιδ εσηκωθη απο της κλινης αυτου, περιεπατει επι του δωματος του βασιλικου οικου? και ειδεν απο του δωματος γυναικα λουομενην? και η γυνη ητο ωραια την οψιν σφοδρα.
3 And the king sent, and inquired who the woman was. And it was told him, that she was Bethsabee the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Urias the Hethite.	3 Και απεστειλεν ο Δαβιδ και ηρευνησε περι της γυναικος. Και ειπε τις, Δεν ειναι αυτη Βηθ-σαβεε, η θυγατηρ του Ελιαμ, η γυνη Ουριου του Χετταιου;
4 And David sent messengers, and took her, and she came in to him, and he slept with her: and presently she was purified from her uncleanness:	4 Και απεστειλεν ο Δαβιδ μηνυτας και ελαβεν αυτην? και οτε ηλθε προς αυτον, εκοιμηθη μετ' αυτης, διοτι ειχε καθαρισθη απο της ακαθαρσιας αυτης? και επεστρεψεν εις τον οικον αυτης.
5 And she returned to her house having conceived. And she sent and told David, and said: I have conceived.	5 Και συνελαβεν η γυνη? και αποστειλασα απηγγειλε προς τον Δαβιδ και ειπεν, Εγκυος ειμαι.
6 And David sent to Joab, saying: Send me Urias the Hethite. And Joab sent Urias to David.	6 Και απεστειλεν ο Δαβιδ προς τον Ιωαβ, λεγων, Αποστειλον μοι Ουριαν τον Χετταιον. Και απεστειλεν ο Ιωαβ τον Ουριαν προς τον Δαβιδ.
7 And Urias came to David. And David asked how Joab did, and the people, and how the war was carried on.	7 Και οτε ηλθε προς αυτον ο Ουριας, ηρωτησεν ο Δαβιδ πως εχει ο Ιωαβ και πως εχει ο λαος και πως εχουσι τα του πολεμου.
8 And David said to Urias: Go into thy house, and wash thy feet. And Urias went out from the king's house, and there went out after him a mess of meat from the king.	8 Και ειπεν ο Δαβιδ προς τον Ουριαν, Καταβα εις τον οικον σου και νιψον τους ποδας σου? και εξηλθεν ο Ουριας εκ του οικου του βασιλεως? και κατοπιν αυτου ηλθε μεριδιον απο της τραπεζης του βασιλεως.
9 But Urias slept before the gate of the king's house, with the other servants of his lord, and went not down to his own house.	9 Αλλ' ο Ουριας εκοιμηθη παρα την θυραν του οικου του βασιλεως, μετα παντων των δουλων του κυριου αυτου και δεν κατεβη εις τον οικον αυτου.
10 And it was told David by some that said: Urias went not to his house. And David said to Urias: Didst thou not come from thy journey? why didst thou not go down to thy house?	10 Και οτε απηγγειλαν προς τον Δαβιδ, λεγοντες, Δεν κατεβη ο Ουριας εις τον οικον αυτου, ειπεν ο Δαβιδ προς τον Ουριαν, Συ δεν ερχεσαι εξ οδοιποριας; δια τι δεν κατεβης εις τον οικον σου;
11 And Urias said to David: The ark of God and Israel and Juda dwell in tents, and my lord Joab and the servants of my lord abide upon the face of the earth: and shall I go into my house, to eat and to drink, and to sleep with my wife? By thy welfare and by the welfare of thy soul I will not do this thing.	11 Και ειπεν ο Ουριας προς τον Δαβιδ, Η κιβωτος και ο Ισραηλ και ο Ιουδας κατοικουσιν εν σκηναις, και ο κυριος μου Ιωαβ και οι δουλοι του κυριου μου, ειναι εστρατοπεδευμενοι επι το προσωπον της πεδιαδος? και εγω θελω υπαγει εις τον οικον μου, δια να φαγω και να πιω και να κοιμηθω μετα της γυναικος μου; ζης και ζη η ψυχη σου, δεν θελω καμει το πραγμα τουτο.
12 Then David said to Urias: Tarry here to day, and to morrow I will send thee away. Urias tarried in Jerusalem that day and the next.	12 Και ειπεν ο Δαβιδ προς τον Ουριαν, Μεινε ενταυθα και σημερον, και αυριον θελω σε εξαποστειλει. Και εμεινεν ο Ουριας εν Ιερουσαλημ την ημεραν εκεινην και την επαυριον.
13 And David called him to eat and to drink before him, and he made him drunk: and he went out in the evening, and slept on his couch with the servants of his lord, and went not down into his house.	13 Και εκαλεσεν αυτον ο Δαβιδ, και εφαγεν ενωπιον αυτου και επιεν? και εμεθυσεν αυτον? και το εσπερας εξηλθε να κοιμηθη επι της κλινης αυτου μετα των δουλων του κυριου αυτου, πλην εις τον οικον αυτου δεν κατεβη.
14 And when the morning was come, David wrote a letter to Joab: and sent it by the hand of Urias,	14 Και το πρωι εγραψεν ο Δαβιδ επιστολην προς τον Ιωαβ, και εστειλεν αυτην δια χειρος του Ουριου.
15 Writing in the letter: Set ye Urias in the front of the battle, where the fight is strongest: and leave ye him, that he may be wounded and die.	15 Και εγραψεν εν τη επιστολη, λεγων, Θεσατε τον Ουριαν απεναντι της σκληροτερας μαχης? επειτα συρθητε απ' αυτου, δια να κτυπηθη και να αποθανη.
16 Wherefore as Joab was besieging the city, he put Urias in the place where he knew the bravest men were.	16 Και αφου παρετηρησε την πολιν ο Ιωαβ, διωρισε τον Ουριαν εις θεσιν, οπου ηξευρεν οτι ησαν ανδρες δυναμεως.
17 And the men coming out of the city, fought against Joab, and there fell some of the people of the servants of David, and Urias the Hethite was killed also.	17 Και εξηλθον οι ανδρες της πολεως, και επολεμησαν μετα του Ιωαβ? και επεσον εκ του λαου τινες των δουλων του Δαβιδ? εθανατωθη δε και Ουριας ο Χετταιος.
18 Then Joab sent, and told David all things concerning the battle.	18 Και απεστειλεν ο Ιωαβ και ανηγγειλε προς τον Δαβιδ παντα τα περι του πολεμου.
19 And he charged the messenger, saying: When thou hast told all the words of the battle to the king,	19 Και προσεταξε τον μηνυτην, λεγων, Αφου τελειωσης λαλων προς τον βασιλεα παντα τα περι του πολεμου,
20 If thou see him to be angry, and he shall say: Why did you approach so near to the wall to fight? knew you not that many darts are thrown from above off the wall?	20 εξαφθη ο θυμος του βασιλεως, και ειπη προς σε, Δια τι επλησιασατε εις την πολιν μαχομενοι; δεν ηξευρετε οτι ηθελον τοξευσει απο του τειχους;
21 Who killed Abimelech the son of Jerobaal? did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from the wall, and slew him in Thebes? Why did you go near the wall? Thou shalt say: Thy servant Urias the Hethite is also slain.	21 τις επαταξεν Αβιμελεχ τον υιον του Ιερουβεσεθ; γυνη τις δεν ερριψεν επ' αυτον τμημα μυλοπετρας απο του τειχους, και απεθανεν εν Θαιβαις; δια τι επλησιασατε εις το τειχος; τοτε ειπε, Απεθανε και ο δουλος σου Ουριας ο Χετταιος.
22 So the messenger departed, and came and told David all that Joab had commanded him.	22 Υπηγε λοιπον ο μηνυτης και ελθων, απηγγειλε προς τον Δαβιδ παντα εκεινα, δια τα οποια απεστειλεν αυτον ο Ιωαβ.
23 And the messenger said to David: The men prevailed against us, and they came out to us into the field: and we vigorously charged and pursued them even to the gate of the city.	23 Και ειπεν ο μηνυτης προς τον Δαβιδ, οτι υπερισχυσαν καθ' ημων οι ανδρες και εξηλθον προς ημας εις την πεδιαδα, και κατεδιωξαμεν αυτους μεχρι της εισοδου της πυλης?
24 And the archers shot their arrows at thy servants from off the wall above: and some of the king's servants are slain, and thy servant Urias the Hethite is also dead.	24 αλλ' οι τοξοται ετοξευσαν απο του τειχους επι τους δουλους σου? και τινες των δουλων του βασιλεως απεθανον, και ο δουλος σου ετι Ουριας ο Χετταιος απεθανε.
25 And David said to the messenger: Thus shalt thou say to Joab: Let not this thing discourage thee: for various is the event of war: and sometimes one, sometimes another is consumed by the sword: encourage thy warriors against The city, and exhort them that thou mayest overthrow it.	25 Τοτε ειπεν ο Δαβιδ προς τον μηνυτην, Ουτω θελεις ειπει προς τον Ιωαβ? Μη σε ανησυχη τουτο το πραγμα? διοτι η ρομφαια κατατρωγει ποτε μεν ενα, ποτε δε αλλον? ενισχυσον την μαχην σου εναντιον της πολεως και καταστρεψον αυτην? και συ ενθαρρυνε αυτον.
26 And the wife of Urias heard that Urias her husband was dead, and she mourned for him.	26 Οτε δε ηκουσεν η γυνη του Ουριου, οτι Ουριας ο ανηρ αυτης απεθανεν, επενθησε δια τον ανδρα αυτης.
27 And the mourning being over, David sent and brought her into his house, and she became his wife, and she bore him a son: and this thing which David had done, was displeasing to the Lord.	27 Και αφου επερασε το πενθος, απεστειλεν ο Δαβιδ και παρελαβεν αυτην εις τον οικον αυτου? και εγεινε γυνη αυτου και εγεννησεν εις αυτον υιον? το πραγμα ομως το οποιον επραξεν ο Δαβιδ, εφανη κακον εις τους οφθαλμους του Κυριου.
