2 Samuel 12

New International Reader's Version NIRV

1 The LORD sent the prophet Nathan to David. When Nathan came to him, he said, "Two men lived in the same town. One was rich. The other was poor.

2 The rich man had a very large number of sheep and cattle.

3 But all the poor man had was one little female lamb. He had bought it. He raised it. It grew up with him and his children. It shared his food. It drank from his cup. It even slept in his arms. It was just like a daughter to him.

4 "One day a traveler came to the rich man. The rich man wanted to prepare a meal for him. But he didn't want to kill one of his own sheep or cattle. Instead, he took the little female lamb that belonged to the poor man. Then he cooked it for the traveler who had come to him."

5 David burned with anger against the rich man. He said to Nathan, "The man who did that is worthy of death. And that's just as sure as the LORD is alive.

6 The man must pay back four times as much as that lamb was worth. How could he do such a thing? And he wasn't even sorry he had done it."

7 Then Nathan said to David, "You are the man! The Lord, the God of Israel, says, 'I anointed you king over Israel. I saved you from Saul's powerful hand.

8 I gave you everything that belonged to your master Saul. I even put his wives into your arms. I made you king over the people of Israel and Judah. And if all of that had not been enough for you, I would have given you even more.

9 " 'Why did you turn your back on what I told you to do? You did what is evil in my sight. You made sure that Uriah, the Hittite, would be killed in battle. You took his wife to be your own. You let the men of Ammon kill him with their swords.

10 " 'So time after time members of your own royal house will be killed with swords. That's because you turned your back on me. You took the wife of Uriah, the Hittite, to be your own.'

11 "The LORD also says, 'I am going to bring trouble on you. It will come from your own family. I will take your wives away. Your own eyes will see it. I will give your wives to a man who is close to you. He will have sex with them in the middle of the day.

12 You committed your sins in secret. But I will make sure that the sin the man commits with your wives will take place in the middle of the day. Everyone in Israel will see it.' "

13 Then David said to Nathan, "I have sinned against the Lord." Nathan replied, "The LORD has taken away your sin. You aren't going to die.

14 But you have dared to make fun of the Lord. So the son who has been born to you will die."

15 Nathan went home. Then the LORD made the child that had been born to Uriah's wife by David very sick.

16 David begged God to heal the child. David didn't eat anything. He spent his nights lying on the ground.

17 His most trusted servants stood beside him. They wanted him to get up from the ground. But he refused to do it. And he wouldn't eat any food with them.

18 On the seventh day the child died. David's servants were afraid to tell him the child was dead. They thought, "While the child was still alive, we spoke to David. But he wouldn't listen to us. So how can we tell him the child is dead? He might do something terrible to himself."

19 David saw that his servants were whispering to each other. Then he realized the child was dead. "Has the child died?" he asked. "Yes," they replied. "He's dead."

20 Then David got up from the ground. After he washed himself, he put on lotions. He changed his clothes. He went into the house of the LORD and worshiped him. Then he went to his own house. He asked for some food. They served it to him. And he ate it.

21 His servants asked him, "Why are you acting like this? While the child was still alive, you wouldn't eat anything. You cried a lot. But now that the child is dead, you get up and eat!"

22 He answered, "While the child was still alive, I didn't eat anything. And I cried a lot. I thought, 'Who knows? The LORD might show favor to me. He might let the child live.'

23 But now he's dead. So why should I go without eating? Can I bring him back to life again? Someday I'll go to him. But he won't return to me."

24 Then David comforted his wife Bathsheba. He went to her and made love to her. Some time later she had a son. He was given the name Solomon. The LORD loved him.

25 So the LORD sent a message through the prophet Nathan. It said, "Name the boy Jedidiah."

26 During that time, Joab fought against Rabbah. It was the royal city of the Ammonites. It had high walls around it. Joab was about to capture it.

27 He sent messengers to David. He told them to say, "I have fought against Rabbah. I've taken control of its water supply.

28 So bring the rest of the troops together. Surround the city and get ready to attack it. Then capture it. If you don't, I'll capture it myself. Then it will be named after me."

29 So David brought the whole army together and went to Rabbah. He attacked it and captured it.

30 He took the gold crown off the head of the king of Ammon. The crown weighed 75 pounds. It had jewels in it. It was placed on David's head. He took a huge amount of goods from the city.

31 He brought out the people who were there. He made them work with saws and iron picks and axes. He forced them to make bricks. He did that to all of the towns in Ammon. Then he and his entire army returned to Jerusalem.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 misit ergo Dominus Nathan ad David qui cum venisset ad eum dixit ei duo viri erant in civitate una unus dives et alter pauper

2 dives habebat oves et boves plurimos valde

3 pauper autem nihil habebat omnino praeter ovem unam parvulam quam emerat et nutrierat et quae creverat apud eum cum filiis eius simul de pane illius comedens et de calice eius bibens et in sinu illius dormiens eratque illi sicut filia

4 cum autem peregrinus quidam venisset ad divitem parcens ille sumere de ovibus et de bubus suis ut exhiberet convivium peregrino illi qui venerat ad se tulit ovem viri pauperis et praeparavit cibos homini qui venerat ad se

5 iratus autem indignatione David adversus hominem illum nimis dixit ad Nathan vivit Dominus quoniam filius mortis est vir qui fecit hoc

6 ovem reddet in quadruplum eo quod fecerit verbum istud et non pepercerit

7 dixit autem Nathan ad David tu es ille vir haec dicit Dominus Deus Israhel ego unxi te in regem super Israhel et ego erui te de manu Saul

8 et dedi tibi domum domini tui et uxores domini tui in sinu tuo dedique tibi domum Israhel et Iuda et si parva sunt ista adiciam tibi multo maiora

9 quare ergo contempsisti verbum Domini ut faceres malum in conspectu meo Uriam Hettheum percussisti gladio et uxorem illius accepisti uxorem et interfecisti eum gladio filiorum Ammon

10 quam ob rem non recedet gladius de domo tua usque in sempiternum eo quod despexeris me et tuleris uxorem Uriae Hetthei ut esset uxor tua

11 itaque haec 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 huius

12 tu enim fecisti abscondite ego vero faciam verbum istud in conspectu omnis Israhel et in conspectu solis

13 et dixit David ad Nathan peccavi Domino dixitque Nathan ad David Dominus quoque transtulit peccatum tuum non morieris

14 verumtamen quoniam blasphemare fecisti inimicos Domini propter verbum hoc filius qui natus est tibi morte morietur

15 et reversus est Nathan domum suam percussitque Dominus parvulum quem pepererat uxor Uriae David et desperatus est

16 deprecatusque est David Dominum pro parvulo et ieiunavit David ieiunio et ingressus seorsum iacuit super terram

17 venerunt autem seniores domus eius cogentes eum ut surgeret de terra qui noluit neque comedit cum eis cibum

18 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 adfliget

19 cum ergo vidisset David servos suos musitantes intellexit quod mortuus esset infantulus dixitque ad servos suos num mortuus est puer qui responderunt ei mortuus est

20 surrexit igitur 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

21 dixerunt autem ei servi sui quis est sermo quem fecisti propter infantem cum adhuc viveret ieiunasti et flebas mortuo autem puero surrexisti et comedisti panem

22 qui ait propter infantem dum adhuc viveret ieiunavi et flevi dicebam enim quis scit si forte donet eum mihi Dominus et vivet infans

23 nunc autem quia mortuus est quare ieiuno numquid potero revocare eum amplius ego vadam magis ad eum ille vero non revertetur ad me

24 et consolatus est David Bethsabee uxorem suam ingressusque ad eam dormivit cum ea quae genuit filium et vocavit nomen eius Salomon et Dominus dilexit eum

25 misitque in manu Nathan prophetae et vocavit nomen eius Amabilis Domino eo quod diligeret eum Dominus

26 igitur pugnabat Ioab contra Rabbath filiorum Ammon et expugnabat urbem regiam

27 misitque Ioab nuntios ad David dicens dimicavi adversum Rabbath et capienda est urbs Aquarum

28 nunc igitur congrega reliquam partem populi et obside civitatem et cape eam ne cum a me vastata fuerit urbs nomini meo adscribatur victoria

29 congregavit itaque David omnem populum et profectus est adversum Rabbath cumque dimicasset cepit eam

30 et tulit diadema regis eorum de capite eius pondo auri talentum habens gemmas pretiosissimas et inpositum est super caput David sed et praedam civitatis asportavit multam valde

31 populum quoque eius adducens serravit et circumegit super eos ferrata carpenta divisitque cultris et transduxit in typo laterum sic fecit universis civitatibus filiorum Ammon et reversus est David et omnis exercitus Hierusalem
