1: And [G2532] BOSS sent [G2962] Nathan the [G3588] prophet [G4396] to [G4314] the [G3588] David. And [G2532] he entered [G1525] to [G4314] him [G1473], and [G2532] said [G2036] to him [G1473], There were two [G1417] men in [G1722] one [G1520] city [G4172] -- one [G1520] rich [G4145] and [G2532] one [G1520] needy [G3993].
2: And [G2532] there was to the [G3588] rich [man [G4145] flocks [G4168] and [G2532] herds -- many [G4183], exceedingly [G4970].
3: And [G2532] to the [G3588] needy [G3993] there was not [G3756] anything [G3762], but only ewe-lamb one [G1520] small [G3397] which [G3739] he acquired [G2932], and [G2532] protected [G4046], and [G2532] nourished [G1625] it [G1473]. And [G2532] it matured with [G3326] him [G1473], and [G2532] with [G3326] the [G3588] his sons [G5207][G1473] at [G1909] the [G3588] same [time] [G1473]. from the [G3588] his bread [G1473] It ate [G2068], and [G2532] from [G1537] the [G3588] his cup [G4221][G1473] it drank [G4095], and [G2532] in [G1722] the [G3588] his bosom [G2859][G1473] it slept [G2518], and [G2532] it was to him [G1473] as [G5613] a daughter [G2364].
4: And [G2532] came [G2064] a traveller to [G4314] the [G3588] man the [G3588] rich [G4145]. And [G2532] he spared [G5339] the [G3588] to take [G2983] from [G1537] the [G3588] his flock [G4168][G1473], and [G2532] from [G1537] the [G3588] his herd [G1473], the [G3588] to prepare [G4160] for the [G3588] stranger [G3581] coming [G2064] to [G4314] him [G1473]. And [G2532] he took [G2983] the [G3588] ewe-lamb of the [G3588] man the [G3588] needy [G3993]; and [G2532] he prepared [G4160] it [G1473] for the [G3588] man the [G3588] coming [G2064] to [G4314] him [G1473].
5: And [G2532] was enraged [G2373] in anger [G3709] David] exceedingly [G4970] against [G1909] the [G3588] man . And [G2532] he said [G2036] to [G4314] Nathan, As BOSS lives [G2198][G2962], that [G3754] [is] a son [G5207] of death [G2288] the [G3588] man the [G3588] doing [G4160] this [G3778].
6: And [G2532] for the [G3588] ewe-lamb he will pay four-fold [G5073], because he did [G4160] the [G3588] this thing [G4487][G3778], and [G2532] for [G5228] which [G3739] he did not [G3756] spare [G5339].
7: And [G2532] Nathan said [G2036] to [G4314] David, You [G1473] are the [G3588] man , the [one] the [G3588] doing [G4160] this [thing] [G3778]. Thus [G3592] says [G3004] Boss '[G2962] the [G3588] God '[G2316] of Israel, I [G1473] anointed [G5548] you [G1473] for [G1519] king over [G1909] the [G3588] Israel, and [G2532] I [G1473] rescued [G4506] you [G1473] from out of [G1537] hand [G5495] of Saul.
8: And [G2532] I gave [G1325] to you [G1473] the [G3588] house [G3624] of the [G3588] your boss [G2962][G1473], and [G2532] the [G3588] wives [G1135] of the [G3588] your boss [G2962][G1473] into [G1722] the [G3588] your bosom [G2859][G1473], and [G2532] I gave [G1325] to you [G1473] the [G3588] house [G3624] of Israel and [G2532] Judah. And [G2532] if [G1487] little [G3641] to you [G1473] it is , I would have added [G4369] to you [G1473] as [G2531] those [G3778].
9: Why [is it [G5100] that [G3754] you treated as worthless the [G3588] word [G3056] of Boss '[G2962], the [G3588] to do [G4160] the [G3588] wicked [thing] [G4190] in [G1722] his eyes [G3788][G1473]? Uriah the [G3588] [G3588] Hittite you struck [G3960] by [G1722] broadsword [G4501], and [G2532] the [G3588] his wife [G1135][G1473] you took [G2983] to yourself [G4572] for [G1519] wife [G1135], and [G2532] him [G1473] you killed by [G1722] broadsword [G4501] of sons [G5207] of Ammon.
10: And [G2532] now [G3568], will not [G3756] depart broadsword [G4501] from [G1537] the [G3588] your house [G3624][G1473] unto [G2193] the [G3588] age (term) `. Because of [G1752] this [G3778], for [G3754] you treated me with contempt [G1847][G1473], and [G2532] took [G2983] the [G3588] wife [G1135] of the [G3588] Uriah the [G3588] Hittite the [G3588] to be to you [G1473] for [G1519] a wife [G1135].
11: Thus [G3592] says [G3004] Boss '[G2962], look [G2400], I [G1473] will awaken [G1825] against [G1909] you [G1473] evils [G2556] from out of [G1537] the [G3588] your house [G3624][G1473], and [G2532] I will take [G2983] the [G3588] your wives [G1135][G1473] before [G2596] eyes [G3788] of you [G1473], and [G2532] I will give [them [G1325] [to the [G3588] your neighbor [G4139][G1473], and [G2532] he will go to bed [G2837] with [G3326] the [G3588] your wives [G1135][G1473] before [G1726] the [G3588] this sun [G2246][G3778].
12: For [G3754] you [G1473] did [it [G4160] secretly , but I [G2504] will do [G4160] the [G3588] this thing [G4487][G3778] before [G1726] all [G3956] Israel, and [G2532] before the [G3588] this sun [G2246][G3778].
13: And [G2532] David said [G2036] the [G3588] to Nathan, I have sinned against the [G3588] Boss '[G2962]. And [G2532] Nathan said [G2036] to [G4314] David, And [G2532] Boss '[G2962] cast aside the [G3588] your sin [G1473], and [G2532] you [G1473] will not die [G3361].
14: Except [G4133] that [G3754], in provoking to anger [G3949], you provoked to anger [G3949] the [G3588] enemies [G2190] of Boss '[G2962] in [G1722] the [G3588] this thing [G4487][G3778], and [G2532] indeed [G1065] the [G3588] son [G5207] of you [G1473], the [G3588] [one] born [G5088] to you [G1473], to death [G2288] he will die .
15: And [G2532] Nathan went forth to [G1519] the [G3588] his house [G3624][G1473]. And [G2532] BOSS enfeebled [G2352][G2962] the [G3588] child [G3813] which [G3739] bore [G5088] the [G3588] wife [G1135] of Uriah the [G3588] unto David, and [G2532] he was ill .
16: And [G2532] David sought [G2212] the [G3588] God '[G2316] for [G5228] the [G3588] boy [G3808]. And [G2532] David fasted [G3522] with fasting [G3521], and [G2532] he entered [G1525] and [G2532] lodged upon [G1909] the [G3588] land '[G1093].
17: And [G2532] rose up the [G3588] elders [G4245] of the [G3588] his house [G3624][G1473] to [G4314] him [G1473], the [G3588] to raise [G1453] him [G1473] from the [G3588] land '[G1093], and [G2532] he did not [G3756] want [G2309], and [G2532] he would not [G3756] eat [G4906] bread with them [G1473].
18: And [G2532] it came to pass [G1096] in [G1722] the [G3588] day [G2250] the [G3588] seventh [G1442], and [G2532] died the [G3588] boy [G3808]. And [G2532] feared [G5399] the [G3588] servants [G1401] of David] to announce to him [G1473] that [G3754], has died [G2348] the [G3588] boy [G3808]. For [G3754] they said [G2036], look [G2400], while [G1722] the [G3588] [G3588] boy [G3808] [was] still [G2089] living [G2198], we spoke [G2980] to [G4314] him [G1473], and [G2532] he did not [G3756] listen to [G1522] the [G3588] our voice [G5456][G1473]. And [G2532] how [G4459] should we say [G2036] to [G4314] him [G1473] that [G3754], has died [G2348] the [G3588] boy [G3808]. For [G2532] he will do [G4160] bad [things] [G2556].
19: And [G2532] David perceived [G4920] that [G3754] the [G3588] his servants [G3816][G1473] were whispering , and [G2532] David comprehended [G3539] that [G3754] has died [G2348] the [G3588] boy [G3808]. And [G2532] David said [G2036] to [G4314] the [G3588] his servants [G3816][G1473], Has [G1487] died [G2348] the [G3588] boy [G3808]? And [G2532] they said [G2036], He has died [G2348].
20: And [G2532] David rose up from [G1537] the [G3588] land '[G1093], and [G2532] bathed [G3068], and [G2532] anointed [himself , and [G2532] changed the [G3588] his clothes [G2440][G1473]. And [G2532] he entered [G1525] into [G1519] the [G3588] house [G3624] of the [G3588] God '[G2316], and [G2532] did obeisance to [G4352] him [G1473]. And [G2532] he entered [G1525] unto [G1519] the [G3588] his house [G3624][G1473], and [G2532] asked [for] bread to eat [G2068]. And [G2532] they placed near [G3908] him [G1473] bread , and [G2532] he ate [G2068].
21: And [G2532] said [G2036] the [G3588] his servants [G3816][G1473] to [G4314] him [G1473], What [is [G5100] the [G3588] this thing [G4487][G3778] which [G3739] you do [G4160] because of [G1752] the [G3588] boy [G3808]? [While] still [G2089] living [G2198] you fasted [G3522], and [G2532] wept [G2799], and [G2532] [were] sleepless ; and [G2532] when [G2259] died the [G3588] boy [G3808] you rose up and [G2532] ate [G2068] bread and [G2532] drank [G4095]?
22: And [G2532] David said [G2036], While [G1722] the [G3588] [G3588] boy [G3808] [was] still [G2089] living [G2198], I fasted [G3522] and [G2532] wept [G2799]. For [G3754] I said [G2036], Who [G5100] knows [G1492] if [G1487] will show compassion [G1653] on me [G1473] Boss '[G2962], and [G2532] will live [G2198] the [G3588] boy [G3808]?
23: And [G2532] now [G3568] he has died [G2348], why [G2444] this [G3778] [that] I [G1473] fast [G3522]? I will not [G3361] be able [G1410] the [G3588] to return [G1994] him [G1473], yet [G2089] I [G1473] will go [G4198] to [G4314] him [G1473], but [G2532] he [G1473] will not [G3756] return to [G4314] me [G1473].
24: And [G2532] David comforted [G3870] the [G3588] his wife [G1135][G1473] Bath-sheba. And [G2532] he entered [G1525] to [G4314] her [G1473], and [G2532] went to bed [G2837] with [G3326] her [G1473], and [G2532] she conceived [G4815], and [G2532] gave birth to [G5088] a son [G5207], and [G2532] called [G2564] the [G3588] name [G3686] of him [G1473] Solomon. And [G2532] Boss '[G2962] loved him [G1473].
25: And [G2532] he sent by [G1722] hand [G5495] of Nathan the [G3588] prophet [G4396]; and [G2532] called [G2564] the [G3588] name [G3686] of him [G1473] Jedidiah, by [G1722] word [G3056] of Boss '[G2962].
26: And [G2532] Joab waged war [G4170] with [G1722] Rabbah of sons [G5207] of Ammon, and [G2532] he overtook [G2638] the [G3588] city [G4172] of the [G3588] government '.
27: And [G2532] Joab sent word-conveyers (messengers) ' to [G4314] David, and [G2532] said [G2036], I waged war [G4170] against [G1722] Rabbah, and [G2532] overtook [G2638] the [G3588] city [G4172] of the [G3588] waters [G5204].
28: And [G2532] now [G3568], gather together [G4863] the [G3588] rest [G2645] of the [G3588] people [G2992], and [G2532] camp upon [G1909] the [G3588] city [G4172], and [G2532] be the first to take it [G1473]! that [G2443] should not [G3361] be the first to take I [G1473] the [G3588] city [G4172], and [G2532] should be called [G2564] the [G3588] my name [G3686] upon [G1909] it [G1473].
29: And [G2532] David gathered together [G4863] all [G3956] the [G3588] people [G2992], and [G2532] he went [G4198] to [G1519] Rabbah, and [G2532] waged war [G4170] against [G1722] it [G1473], and [G2532] overtook [G2638] it [G1473].
30: And [G2532] he took [G2983] the [G3588] crown [G4735] of the [G3588]ir king [G1473] from the [G3588] his head [G2776][G1473]. And [G2532] the [G3588] its weight [G1473] was a talent [G5007] of gold [G5553], and [G2532] stone [G3037] of precious [G5093]. And [G2532] it was upon [G1909] the [G3588] head [G2776] of David. And [G2532] spoils [G4661] of the [G3588] city [G4172] he brought forth [G1627] much [G4183] exceedingly [G4970].
31: And [G2532] the [G3588] people [G2992], the [G3588] [one] in [G1722] it [G1473], he led out [G1806] and [G2532] put [G5087] [them] to [G1722] the [G3588] saw , and [G2532] to [G1722] the [G3588] threshing-machines [G5146] of the [G3588] iron [G4603], and [G2532] adz of iron [G4603]. And [G2532] he led [G1236] them [G1473] through [G1223] the [G3588] brick-kiln . And [G2532] thus [G3779] he did [G4160] to all [G3956] the [G3588] cities [G4172] of sons [G5207] of Ammon. And [G2532] David returned and [G2532] all [G3956] the [G3588] people [G2992] to [G1519] Jerusalem.
