| 2 Samuel 12 Text (WEB)
|
- Yahweh sent Nathan to David. He came to him, and said to him, "There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor.
- The rich man had very many flocks and herds,
- but the poor man had nothing, except one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and raised. It grew up together with him, and with his children. It ate of his own food, drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was to him like a daughter.
- A traveler came to the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to dress for the wayfaring man who had come to him, but took the poor man's lamb, and dressed it for the man who had come to him."
- David's anger was greatly kindled against the man, and he said to Nathan, "As Yahweh lives, the man who has done this is worthy to die!
- He shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity!"
- Nathan said to David, "You are the man. This is what Yahweh, the God of Israel, says: 'I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you out of the hand of Saul.
- 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 that would have been too little, I would have added to you many more such things.
- Why have you despised the word of Yahweh, to do that which is evil in his sight? You have struck Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and have taken his wife to be your wife, and have slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.
- Now therefore the sword will never depart from your house, because you have despised me, and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife.'
- "This is what Yahweh says: '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 will lie with your wives in the sight of this sun.
- For you did it secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.'"
- David said to Nathan, "I have sinned against Yahweh." Nathan said to David, "Yahweh also has put away your sin. You will not die.
- However, because by this deed you have given great occasion to Yahweh's enemies to blaspheme, the child also who is born to you shall surely die."
- Nathan departed to his house. Yahweh struck the child that Uriah's wife bore to David, and it was very sick.
- David therefore begged God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night on the earth.
- The elders of his house arose, [and stood] beside him, to raise him up from the earth: but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them.
- It happened on the seventh day, that the child died. 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 didn't listen to our voice. How will he then harm himself, if we tell him that the child is dead?"
- 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."
- Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his clothing; and he came into the house of Yahweh, and worshiped: then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set bread before him, and he ate.
- Then his servants said to him, "What is this that you have done? You fasted and wept for the child while he was alive; but when the child was dead, you rose up and ate bread."
- He said, "While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept; for I said, 'Who knows whether Yahweh will not be gracious to me, that the child may live?'
- 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."
- David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in to her, and lay with her. She bore a son, and he called his name Solomon. Yahweh loved him;
- and he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet; and he named him Jedidiah, for Yahweh's sake.
- Now Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city.
- Joab sent messengers to David, and said, "I have fought against Rabbah. Yes, I have taken the city of waters.
- Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and encamp against the city, and take it; lest I take the city, and it be called after my name."
- David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it.
- He took the crown of their king from off his head; and its weight was a talent of gold, and [in it were] precious stones; and it was set on David's head. He brought forth the spoil of the city, exceeding much.
- He brought forth the people who were therein, and put them under saws, and under iron picks, and under axes of iron, and made them pass through the brick kiln: and he did so to all the cities of the children of Ammon. David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.

- וישלח יהוה את־נתן אל־דוד ויבא אליו ויאמר לו שני אנשים היו בעיר אחת אחד עשיר ואחד ראש׃
- לעשיר היה צאן ובקר הרבה מאד׃
- ולרש אין־כל כי אם־כבשה אחת קטנה אשר קנה ויחיה ותגדל עמו ועם־בניו יחדו מפתו תאכל ומכסו תשתה ובחיקו תשכב ותהי־לו כבת׃
- ויבא הלך לאיש העשיר ויחמל לקחת מצאנו ומבקרו לעשות לארח הבא־לו ויקח את־כבשת האיש הראש ויעשה לאיש הבא אליו׃
- ויחר־אף דוד באיש מאד ויאמר אל־נתן חי־יהוה כי בן־מות האיש העשה זאת׃
- ואת־הכבשה ישלם ארבעתים עקב אשר עשה את־הדבר הזה ועל אשר לא־חמל׃
- ויאמר נתן אל־דוד אתה האיש כה־אמר יהוה אלהי ישראל אנכי משחתיך למלך על־ישראל ואנכי הצלתיך מיד שאול׃
- ואתנה לך את־בית אדניך ואת־נשי אדניך בחיקך ואתנה לך את־בית ישראל ויהודה ואם־מעט ואספה לך כהנה וכהנה׃
- מדוע בזית את־דבר יהוה לעשות הרע את אוריה החתי הכית בחרב ואת־אשתו לקחת לך לאשה ואתו הרגת בחרב בני עמון׃
- ועתה לא־תסור חרב מביתך עד־עולם עקב כי בזתני ותקח את־אשת אוריה החתי להיות לך לאשה׃ ס
- כה אמר יהוה הנני מקים עליך רעה מביתך ולקחתי את־נשיך לעיניך ונתתי לרעיך ושכב עם־נשיך לעיני השמש הזאת׃
- כי אתה עשית בסתר ואני אעשה את־הדבר הזה נגד כל־ישראל ונגד השמש׃ ס
- ויאמר דוד אל־נתן חטאתי ליהוה ס ויאמר נתן אל־דוד גם־יהוה העביר חטאתך לא תמות׃
- אפס כי־נאץ נאצת את־איבי יהוה בדבר הזה גם הבן הילוד לך מות ימות׃
- וילך נתן אל־ביתו ויגף יהוה את־הילד אשר ילדה אשת־אוריה לדוד ויאנש׃
- ויבקש דוד את־האלהים בעד הנער ויצם דוד צום ובא ולן ושכב ארצה׃
- ויקמו זקני ביתו עליו להקימו מן־הארץ ולא אבה ולא־ברא אתם לחם׃
- ויהי ביום השביעי וימת הילד ויראו עבדי דוד להגיד לו כי־מת הילד כי אמרו הנה בהיות הילד חי דברנו אליו ולא־שמע בקולנו ואיך נאמר אליו מת הילד ועשה רעה׃
- וירא דוד כי עבדיו מתלחשים ויבן דוד כי מת הילד ויאמר דוד אל־עבדיו המת הילד ויאמרו מת׃
- ויקם דוד מהארץ וירחץ ויסך ויחלף ויבא בית־יהוה וישתחו ויבא אל־ביתו וישאל וישימו לו לחם ויאכל׃
- ויאמרו עבדיו אליו מה־הדבר הזה אשר עשיתה בעבור הילד חי צמת ותבך וכאשר מת הילד קמת ותאכל לחם׃
- ויאמר בעוד הילד חי צמתי ואבכה כי אמרתי מי יודע יהוה וחי הילד׃
- ועתה מת למה זה אני צם האוכל להשיבו עוד אני הלך אליו והוא לא־ישוב אלי׃
- וינחם דוד את בת־שבע אשתו ויבא אליה וישכב עמה ותלד בן את־שמו שלמה ויהוה אהבו׃
- וישלח ביד נתן הנביא ויקרא את־שמו ידידיה בעבור יהוה׃ ף
- וילחם יואב ברבת בני עמון וילכד את־עיר המלוכה׃
- וישלח יואב מלאכים אל־דוד ויאמר נלחמתי ברבה גם־לכדתי את־עיר המים׃
- ועתה אסף את־יתר העם וחנה על־העיר ולכדה פן־אלכד אני את־העיר ונקרא שמי עליה׃
- ויאסף דוד את־כל־העם וילך רבתה וילחם בה וילכדה׃
- ויקח את־עטרת־מלכם מעל ראשו ומשקלה ככר זהב ואבן יקרה ותהי על־ראש דוד ושלל העיר הוציא הרבה מאד׃
- ואת־העם אשר־בה הוציא וישם במגרה ובחרצי הברזל ובמגזרת הברזל והעביר אותם וכן יעשה לכל ערי בני־עמון וישב דוד וכל־העם ירושלם׃ ף

| 2 Samuel 12 Text (Latin)
|
- Misit ergo Dominus Nathan ad David : qui cum venisset ad eum, dixit ei : Duo viri erant in civitate una, unus dives, et alter pauper.
- Dives habebat oves, et boves plurimos valde.
- Pauper autem nihil habebat omnino, præter ovem unam parvulam, quam emerat et nutrierat, et quæ creverat apud eum cum filiis ejus simul, de pane illius comedens, et de calice ejus bibens, et in sinu illius dormiens : eratque illi sicut filia.
- Cum autem peregrinus quidam venisset ad divitem, parcens ille sumere de ovibus et de bobus suis, ut exhiberet convivium peregrino illi qui venerat ad se, tulit ovem viri pauperis, et præparavit cibos homini qui venerat ad se.
- Iratus autem indignatione David adversus hominem illum nimis, dixit ad Nathan : Vivit Dominus, quoniam filius mortis est vir qui fecit hoc.
- Ovem reddet in quadruplum, eo quod fecerit verbum istud, et non pepercerit.
- Dixit autem Nathan ad David : Tu es ille vir. Hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israël : Ego unxi te in regem super Israël, et ego erui te de manu Saul,
- et dedi tibi domum domini tui, et uxores domini tui in sinu tuo, dedique tibi domum Israël et Juda : et si parva sunt ista, adjiciam tibi multo majora.
- Quare ergo contempsisti verbum Domini, ut faceres malum in conspectu meo ? Uriam Hethæum percussisti gladio, et uxorem illius accepisti in uxorem tibi, et interfecisti eum gladio filiorum Ammon.
- Quam ob rem non recedet gladius de domo tua usque in sempiternum, eo quod despexeris me, et tuleris uxorem Uriæ Hethæi, ut esset uxor tua.
- Itaque hæc dicit Dominus : Ecce ego suscitabo super te malum de domo tua, et tollam uxores tuas in oculis tuis, et dabo proximo tuo, et dormiet cum uxoribus tuis in oculis solis hujus.
- Tu enim fecisti abscondite : ego autem faciam verbum istud in conspectu omnis Israël, et in conspectu solis.
- Et dixit David ad Nathan : Peccavi Domino. Dixitque Nathan ad David : Dominus quoque transtulit peccatum tuum : non morieris.
- Verumtamen, quoniam blasphemare fecisti inimicos Domini, propter verbum hoc, filius, qui natus est tibi, morte morietur.
- Et reversus est Nathan in domum suam. Percussit quoque Dominus parvulum, quem pepererat uxor Uriæ David, et desperatus est.
- Deprecatusque est David Dominum pro parvulo : et jejunavit David jejunio, et ingressus seorsum, jacuit super terram.
- Venerunt autem seniores domus ejus, cogentes eum ut surgeret de terra. Qui noluit, nec comedit cum eis cibum.
- Accidit autem die septima ut moreretur infans : timueruntque servi David nuntiare ei quod mortuus esset parvulus : dixerunt enim : Ecce cum parvulus adhuc viveret, loquebamur ad eum, et non audiebat vocem nostram : quanto magis si dixerimus : Mortuus est puer, se affliget ?
- Cum ergo David vidisset servos suos mussitantes, intellexit quod mortuus esset infantulus : dixitque ad servos suos : Num mortuus est puer ? Qui responderunt ei : Mortuus est.
- Surrexit ergo David de terra : et lotus unctusque est : cumque mutasset vestem, ingressus est domum Domini : et adoravit, et venit in domum suam, petivitque ut ponerent ei panem, et comedit.
- Dixerunt autem ei servi sui : Quis est sermo, quem fecisti ? propter infantem, cum adhuc viveret, jejunasti et flebas : mortuo autem puero, surrexisti, et comedisti panem.
- Qui ait : Propter infantem, dum adhuc viveret, jejunavi et flevi : dicebam enim : Quis scit si forte donet eum mihi Dominus, et vivat infans ?
- Nunc autem quia mortuus est, quare jejunem ? Numquid potero revocare eum amplius ? Ego vadam magis ad eum : ille vero non revertetur ad me.
- Et consolatus est David Bethsabee uxorem suam, ingressusque ad eam, dormivit cum ea : quæ genuit filium, et vocavit nomen ejus Salomon, et Dominus dilexit eum.
- Misitque in manu Nathan prophetæ, et vocavit nomen ejus, Amabilis Domino, eo quod diligeret eum Dominus.
- Igitur pugnabat Joab contra Rabbath filiorum Ammon, et expugnabat urbem regiam.
- Misitque Joab nuntios ad David, dicens : Dimicavi adversum Rabbath, et capienda est Urbs aquarum.
- Nunc igitur congrega reliquam partem populi, et obside civitatem, et cape eam : ne, cum a me vastata fuerit urbs, nomini meo ascribatur victoria.
- Congregavit itaque David omnem populum, et profectus est adversum Rabbath : cumque dimicasset, cepit eam.
- Et tulit diadema regis eorum de capite ejus, pondo auri talentum, habens gemmas pretiosissimas, et impositum est super caput David. Sed et prædam civitatis asportavit multam valde :
- populum quoque ejus adducens serravit, et circumegit super eos ferrata carpenta : divisitque cultris, et traduxit in typo laterum : sic fecit universis civitatibus filiorum Ammon : et reversus est David, et omnis exercitus in Jerusalem.

- And the LORD sent Nathan unto David. And he came unto him, and said unto him, There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor.
- The rich man had exceeding many flocks and herds:
- But the poor man had nothing, save one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up: and it grew up together with him, and with his children; it did eat of his own meat, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was unto him as a daughter.
- And there came a traveller unto the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to dress for the wayfaring man that was come unto him; but took the poor man's lamb, and dressed it for the man that was come to him.
- And David's anger was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, As the LORD liveth, the man that hath done this thing shall surely die:
- And he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity.
- And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man. Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul;
- And I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things.
- Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the LORD, to do evil in his sight? thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.
- Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife.
- Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun.
- For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.
- And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said unto David, The LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die.
- Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die.
- And Nathan departed unto his house. And the LORD struck the child that Uriah's wife bare unto David, and it was very sick.
- David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth.
- And the elders of his house arose, and went to him, to raise him up from the earth: but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them.
- And it came to pass on the seventh day, that 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 spake unto him, and he would not hearken unto our voice: how will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the child is dead?
- But when David saw that his servants whispered, David perceived that the child was dead: therefore David said unto his servants, Is the child dead? And they said, He is dead.
- Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his apparel, and came into the house of the LORD, and worshipped: then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set bread before him, and he did eat.
- Then said his servants unto him, What thing is this that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, while it was alive; but when the child was dead, thou didst rise and eat bread.
- And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who can tell whether GOD will be gracious to me, that the child may live?
- But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.
- And David comforted Bath-sheba his wife, and went in unto her, and lay with her: and she bare a son, and he called his name Solomon: and the LORD loved him.
- And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet; and he called his name Jedidiah, because of the LORD.
- And Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city.
- And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbah, and have taken the city of waters.
- Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and encamp against the city, and take it: lest I take the city, and it be called after my name.
- And David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it.
- And he took their king's crown from off his head, the weight whereof was a talent of gold with the precious stones: and it was set on David's head. And he brought forth the spoil of the city in great abundance.
- And he brought forth the people that were therein, and put them under saws, and under harrows of iron, and under axes of iron, and made them pass through the brickkiln: and thus did he unto all the cities of the children of Ammon. So David and all the people returned unto Jerusalem.
