| וישל֧ח יהו֛ה את־נת֖ן אל־דו֑ד ויב֣א אל֗יו וי֤אמר לו֙ שנ֣י אנש֗ים היו֙ בע֣יר אח֔ת אח֥ד עש֖יר ואח֥ד רֽאש׃ | 2Sam 12:1 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. |
| לעש֗יר הי֛ה צ֥אן ובק֖ר הרב֥ה מאֽד׃ | 2Sam 12:2 The rich man had exceeding many flocks and herds: |
| ולר֣ש אֽין־כ֗ל כי֩ אם־כבש֨ה אח֤ת קטנה֙ אש֣ר קנ֔ה ויחי֕ה ותגד֥ל עמ֛ו ועם־בנ֖יו יחד֑ו מפת֨ו תאכ֜ל ומכס֤ו תשתה֙ ובחיק֣ו תשכ֔ב ותהי־ל֖ו כבֽת׃ | 2Sam 12:3 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. |
| וי֣בא הלך֘ לא֣יש הֽעשיר֒ ויחמ֗ל לק֤חת מצאנו֙ ומבקר֔ו לעש֕ות לאר֖ח הבא־ל֑ו ויק֗ח את־כבשת֙ הא֣יש הר֔אש וֽיעש֔ה לא֖יש הב֥א אלֽיו׃ | 2Sam 12:4 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. |
| ויֽחר־א֥ף דו֛ד בא֖יש מא֑ד וי֙אמר֙ אל־נת֔ן חי־יהו֕ה כ֣י בן־מ֔ות הא֖יש העש֥ה זֽאת׃ | 2Sam 12:5 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: |
| ואת־הכבש֖ה ישל֣ם ארבעת֑ים ע֗קב אש֤ר עשה֙ את־הדב֣ר הז֔ה וע֖ל אש֥ר לֽא־חמֽל׃ | 2Sam 12:6 And he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity. |
| וי֧אמר נת֛ן אל־דו֖ד את֣ה הא֑יש כה־אמ֨ר יהו֜ה אלה֣י ישרא֗ל אנכ֞י משחת֤יךֽ למ֙לך֙ על־ישרא֔ל ואנכ֥י הצלת֖יך מי֥ד שאֽול׃ | 2Sam 12:7 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; |
| ואתנ֨ה לך֜ את־ב֣ית אדנ֗יך ואת־נש֤י אדנ֙יך֙ בחיק֔ך ואתנ֣ה לך֔ את־ב֥ית ישרא֖ל וֽיהוד֑ה וא֨ם־מע֔ט ואס֥פה לך֖ כה֥נה וכהֽנה׃ | 2Sam 12:8 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. |
| מד֜וע בז֣ית׀ את־דב֣ר יהו֗ה לעש֣ות הרע֘ בעיני֒ א֣ת אורי֤ה הֽחתי֙ הכ֣ית בח֔רב וא֨ת־אשת֔ו לק֥חת לך֖ לאש֑ה ואת֣ו הר֔גת בח֖רב בנ֥י עמֽון׃ | 2Sam 12:9 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. |
| ועת֗ה לא־תס֥ור ח֛רב מביתך֖ עד־עול֑ם ע֚קב כ֣י בזת֔ני ותק֗ח את־א֙שת֙ אורי֣ה החת֔י להי֥ות לך֖ לאשֽה׃ | 2Sam 12:10 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. |
| כ֣ה׀ אמ֣ר יהו֗ה הנני֩ מק֨ים על֤יך רעה֙ מבית֔ך ולקחת֤י את־נש֙יך֙ לעינ֔יך ונתת֖י לרע֑יך ושכב֙ עם־נש֔יך לעינ֖י הש֥מש הזֽאת׃ | 2Sam 12:11 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. |
| כ֥י את֖ה עש֣ית בס֑תר ואנ֗י אעשה֙ את־הדב֣ר הז֔ה נ֥גד כל־ישרא֖ל ונ֥גד השֽמש׃ | 2Sam 12:12 For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun. |
| וי֤אמר דוד֙ אל־נת֔ן חט֖אתי לֽיהו֑ה וי֨אמר נת֜ן אל־דו֗ד גם־יהו֛ה העב֥יר חטאתך֖ ל֥א תמֽות׃ | 2Sam 12:13 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. |
| א֗פס כֽי־נא֤ץ נא֙צת֙ את־איב֣י יהו֔ה בדב֖ר הז֑ה ג֗ם הב֛ן היל֥וד לך֖ מ֥ות ימֽות׃ | 2Sam 12:14 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. |
| וי֥לך נת֖ן אל־בית֑ו ויג֣ף יהו֗ה את־הי֜לד אש֨ר ילד֧ה אֽשת־אורי֛ה לדו֖ד ויאנֽש׃ | 2Sam 12:15 And Nathan departed unto his house. And the LORD struck the child that Uriah's wife bare unto David, and it was very sick. |
| ויבק֥ש דו֛ד את־האלה֖ים בע֣ד הנ֑ער וי֤צם דוד֙ צ֔ום וב֥א ול֖ן ושכ֥ב אֽרצה׃ | 2Sam 12:16 David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth. |
| ויק֜מו זקנ֤י ביתו֙ על֔יו להקימ֖ו מן־הא֑רץ ול֣א אב֔ה ולֽא־בר֥א את֖ם לֽחם׃ | 2Sam 12:17 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. |
| ויה֛י בי֥ום השביע֖י וי֣מת הי֑לד ויֽראו֩ עבד֨י דו֜ד להג֥יד ל֣ו׀ כי־מ֣ת הי֗לד כ֤י אֽמרו֙ הנה֩ בהי֨ות הי֜לד ח֗י דב֤רנו אליו֙ ולא־שמ֣ע בקול֔נו וא֨יך נאמ֥ר אל֛יו מ֥ת הי֖לד ועש֥ה רעֽה׃ | 2Sam 12:18 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? |
| וי֣רא דו֗ד כ֤י עבדיו֙ מֽתלחש֔ים וי֥בן דו֖ד כ֣י מ֣ת הי֑לד וי֨אמר דו֧ד אל־עבד֛יו המ֥ת הי֖לד וי֥אמרו מֽת׃ | 2Sam 12:19 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. |
| ויקם֩ דו֨ד מהא֜רץ וירח֣ץ וי֗סך ויחלף֙ שמלת֔יו ויב֥א בית־יהו֖ה וישת֑חו ויבא֙ אל־בית֔ו וישא֕ל ויש֥ימו ל֛ו ל֖חם ויאכֽל׃ | 2Sam 12:20 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. |
| ויאמר֤ו עבדיו֙ אל֔יו מֽה־הדב֥ר הז֖ה אש֣ר עש֑יתה בעב֞ור הי֤לד חי֙ צ֣מת ות֔בך וכֽאשר֙ מ֣ת הי֔לד ק֖מת ות֥אכל לֽחם׃ | 2Sam 12:21 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. |
| וי֕אמר בעוד֙ הי֣לד ח֔י צ֖מתי וֽאבכ֑ה כ֤י אמ֙רתי֙ מ֣י יוד֔ע וחנ֥ני יהו֖ה וח֥י היֽלד׃ | 2Sam 12:22 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? |
| ועת֣ה׀ מ֗ת ל֤מה זה֙ אנ֣י צ֔ם האוכ֥ל להשיב֖ו ע֑וד אני֙ הל֣ך אל֔יו וה֖וא לֽא־יש֥וב אלֽי׃ | 2Sam 12:23 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. |
| וינח֣ם דו֗ד א֚ת בת־ש֣בע אשת֔ו ויב֥א אל֖יה וישכ֣ב עמ֑ה ות֣לד ב֗ן ותקר֤א את־שמו֙ שלמ֔ה ויהו֖ה אהבֽו׃ | 2Sam 12:24 And David comforted Bathsheba 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. |
| וישל֗ח ביד֙ נת֣ן הנב֔יא ויקר֥א את־שמ֖ו יד֣ידי֑ה בעב֖ור יהוֽה׃ | 2Sam 12:25 And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet; and he called his name Jedidiah, because of the LORD. |
| ויל֣חם יוא֔ב ברב֖ת בנ֣י עמ֑ון וילכ֖ד את־ע֥יר המלוכֽה׃ | 2Sam 12:26 And Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city. |
| וישל֥ח יוא֛ב מלאכ֖ים אל־דו֑ד וי֙אמר֙ נלח֣מתי ברב֔ה גם־לכ֖דתי את־ע֥יר המֽים׃ | 2Sam 12:27 And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbah, and have taken the city of waters. |
| ועת֗ה אסף֙ את־י֣תר הע֔ם וחנ֥ה על־הע֖יר ולכד֑ה פן־אלכ֤ד אני֙ את־הע֔יר ונקר֥א שמ֖י עלֽיה׃ | 2Sam 12:28 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. |
| ויאס֥ף דו֛ד את־כל־הע֖ם וי֣לך רב֑תה ויל֥חם ב֖ה וֽילכדֽה׃ | 2Sam 12:29 And David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it. |
| ויק֣ח את־עטֽרת־מלכם֩ מע֨ל ראש֜ו ומשקל֨ה ככ֤ר זהב֙ וא֣בן יקר֔ה ותה֖י על־ר֣אש דו֑ד ושל֥ל הע֛יר הוצ֖יא הרב֥ה מאֽד׃ | 2Sam 12:30 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. |
| ואת־הע֨ם אשר־ב֜ה הוצ֗יא וי֣שם ב֠מגרה ובחרצ֨י הברז֜ל וֽבמגזר֣ת הברז֗ל והעב֤יר אותם֙ במלב֔ן וכ֣ן יעש֔ה לכ֖ל ער֣י בנֽי־עמ֑ון וי֧שב דו֛ד וכל־הע֖ם ירושלֽם׃ | 2Sam 12:31 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 brick-kiln: and thus did he unto all the cities of the children of Ammon. So David and all the people returned unto Jerusalem. |
