사무엘하 12

1여호와께서 나단을 다윗에게 보내시니 와서 저에게 이르되 한 성에 두 사람이 있는데 하나는 부하고 하나는 가난하니 2그 부한 자는 양과 소가 심히 많으나 3가난한 자는 아무 것도 없고 자기가 사서 기르는 작은 암양 새끼 하나뿐이라 그 암양 새끼는 저와 저의 자식과 함께 있어 자라며 저의 먹는 것을 먹으며 저의 잔에서 마시며 저의 품에 누우므로 저에게는 딸처럼 되었거늘 4어떤 행인이 그 부자에게 오매 부자가 자기의 양과 소를 아껴 자기에게 온 행인을 위하여 잡지 아니하고 가난한 사람의 양 새끼를 빼앗아다가 자기에게 온 사람을 위하여 잡았나이다 5다윗이 그 사람을 크게 노하여 나단에게 이르되 여호와의 사심을 가리켜 맹세하노니 이 일을 행한 사람은 마땅히 죽을 자라 6저가 불쌍히 여기지 않고 이 일을 행하였으니 그 양 새끼를 사 배나 갚아 주어야 하리라 7나단이 다윗에게 이르되 당신이 그 사람이라 이스라엘의 하나님 여호와께서 이처럼 이르시기를 내가 너로 이스라엘 왕을 삼기 위하여 네게 기름을 붓고 너를 사울의 손에서 구원하고 8네 주인의 집을 네게 주고 네 주인의 처들을 네 품에 두고 이스라엘과 유다 족속을 네게 맡겼느니라 만일 그것이 부족하였을 것 같으면 내가 네게 이것 저것을 더 주었으리라 9그러한데 어찌하여 네가 여호와의 말씀을 업신여기고 나 보기에 악을 행하였느뇨 네가 칼로 헷 사람 우리아를 죽이되 암몬 자손의 칼로 죽이고 그 처를 빼앗아 네 처를 삼았도다 10이제 네가 나를 업신여기고 헷 사람 우리아의 처를 빼앗아 네 처를 삼았은즉 칼이 네 집에 영영히 떠나지 아니하리라 하셨고 11여호와께서 또 이처럼 이르시기를 내가 네 집에 재화를 일으키고 내가 네 처들을 가져 네 눈 앞에서 다른 사람에게 주리니 그 사람이 네 처들로 더불어 백주에 동침하리라 12너는 은밀히 행하였으나 나는 이스라엘 무리 앞 백주에 이 일을 행하리라 하셨나이다 13다윗이 나단에게 이르되 내가 여호와께 죄를 범하였노라 하매 나단이 다윗에게 대답하되 여호와께서도 당신의 죄를 사하셨나니 당신이 죽지 아니하려니와 14이 일로 인하여 여호와의 원수로 크게 훼방할 거리를 얻게 하였으니 당신의 낳은 아이가 정녕 죽으리이다 하고 15나단이 자기 집으로 돌아가니라 우리아의 처가 다윗에게 낳은 아이를 여호와께서 치시매 심히 앓는지라 16다윗이 그 아이를 위하여 하나님께 간구하되 금식하고 안에 들어가서 밤새도록 땅에 엎드렸으니 17그 집의 늙은 자들이 곁에 이르러 다윗을 일으키려 하되 왕이 듣지 아니하고 저희로 더불어 먹지도 아니하더라 18이레만에 그 아이가 죽으니라 그러나 다윗의 신복들이 아이의 죽은 것을 왕에게 고하기를 두려워하니 이는 저희가 말하기를 아이가 살았을 때에 우리가 말하여도 왕이 그 말을 듣지 아니하셨나니 어떻게 그 아이의 죽은 것을 고할 수 있으랴 왕이 훼상하시리로다 19다윗이 그 신복들의 서로 수군거리는 것을 보고 그 아이가 죽은 줄을 깨닫고 그 신복들에게 묻되 아이가 죽었느냐 대답하되 죽었나이다 20다윗이 땅에서 일어나 몸을 씻고 기름을 바르고 의복을 갈아 입고 여호와의 전에 들어가서 경배하고 궁으로 돌아와서 명하여 음식을 그 앞에 베풀게 하고 먹은지라 21신복들이 왕께 묻되 아이가 살았을 때에는 위하여 금식하고 우시더니 죽은 후에는 일어나서 잡수시니 어찜이니이까 22가로되 아이가 살았을 때에 내가 금식하고 운 것은 혹시 여호와께서 나를 불쌍히 여기사 아이를 살려주실는지 누가 알까 생각함이어니와 23시방은 죽었으니 어찌 금식하랴 내가 다시 돌아오게 할 수 있느냐 나는 저에게로 가려니와 저는 내게로 돌아오지 아니하리라 24다윗이 그 처 밧세바를 위로하고 저에게 들어가 동침하였더니 저가 아들을 낳으매 그 이름을 솔로몬이라 하니라 여호와께서 그를 사랑하사 25선지자 나단을 보내사 그 이름을 여디디야라 하시니 이는 여호와께서 사랑하심을 인함이더라 26요압이 암몬 자손의 왕성 랍바를 쳐서 취하게 되매 27사자를 다윗에게 보내어 가로되 내가 랍바 곧 물들의 성을 쳐서 취하게 되었으니 28이제 왕은 남은 군사를 모아 진치고 이 성을 쳐서 취하소서 내가 이 성을 취하면 이 성이 내 이름으로 일컬음을 받을까 두려워하나이다 29다윗이 모든 군사를 모아 랍바로 가서 쳐서 취하고 30그 왕의 머리에서 보석 있는 면류관을 취하니 그 중량이 한 금 달란트라 다윗이 머리에 쓰니라 다윗이 또 그 성에서 노략한 물건을 무수히 내어오고 31그 가운데 백성들을 끌어내어 톱질과 써레질과 도끼질과 벽돌구이를 하게 하니라 암몬 자손의 모든 성을 이같이 하고 다윗과 모든 백성이 예루살렘으로 돌아오니라

1Yahweh 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. 2The rich man had very many flocks and herds, 3but 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. 4A 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.” 5David’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! 6He shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity!” 7Nathan 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. 8I 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. 9Why have you despised Yahweh’s word, 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. 10Now 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.’ 11“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. 12For you did it secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.’” 13David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against Yahweh.” Nathan said to David, “Yahweh also has put away your sin. You will not die. 14However, 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.” 15Nathan departed to his house. Yahweh struck the child that Uriah’s wife bore to David, and it was very sick. 16David therefore begged God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night on the earth. 17The elders of his house arose beside him, to raise him up from the earth: but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them. 18On the seventh day, 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?” 19But 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.” 20Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his clothing; and he came into Yahweh’s house, and worshiped: then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set bread before him, and he ate. 21Then 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.” 22He 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?’ 23But 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.” 24David 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; 25and he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet; and he named him Jedidiah, for Yahweh’s sake. 26Now Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city. 27Joab sent messengers to David, and said, “I have fought against Rabbah. Yes, I have taken the city of waters. 28Now 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.” 29David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it. 30He 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 out the plunder of the city, exceeding much. 31He brought out 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.

1En de HEERE zond Nathan tot David. Als die tot hem inkwam, zeide hij tot hem: Er waren twee mannen in een stad, de een rijk en de ander arm. 2De rijke had zeer veel schapen en runderen. 3Maar de arme had gans niet dan een enig klein ooilam, dat hij gekocht had, en had het gevoed, dat het groot geworden was bij hem, en bij zijn kinderen tegelijk; het at van zijn bete, en dronk van zijn beker, en sliep in zijn schoot, en het was hem als een dochter. 4Toen nu den rijken man een wandelaar overkwam, verschoonde hij te nemen van zijn schapen en van zijn runderen, om voor den reizenden man, die tot hem gekomen was, wat te bereiden; en hij nam des armen mans ooilam, en bereidde dat voor den man, die tot hem gekomen was. 5Toen ontstak Davids toorn zeer tegen dien man; en hij zeide tot Nathan: Zo waarachtig als de HEERE leeft, de man, die dat gedaan heeft, is een kind des doods! 6En dat ooilam zal hij viervoudig wedergeven, daarom dat hij deze zaak gedaan, en omdat hij niet verschoond heeft. 7Toen zeide Nathan tot David: Gij zijt die man! Zo zegt de HEERE, de God Israels: Ik heb u ten koning gezalfd over Israel, en Ik heb u uit Sauls hand gered; 8En Ik heb u uws heren huis gegeven, daartoe uws heren vrouwen in uw schoot, ja, Ik heb u het huis van Israel en Juda gegeven; en indien het weinig is, Ik zou u alzulks en alzulks daartoe doen. 9Waarom hebt gij dan het woord des HEEREN veracht, doende wat kwaad is in Zijn ogen? Gij hebt Uria, den Hethiet, met het zwaard verslagen, en zijn huisvrouw hebt gij u ter vrouwe genomen; en hem hebt gij met het zwaard van de kinderen Ammons doodgeslagen. 10Nu dan, het zwaard zal van uw huis niet afwijken tot in eeuwigheid; daarom dat gij Mij veracht hebt, en de huisvrouw van Uria, den Hethiet, genomen hebt, dat zij u ter vrouwe zij. 11Zo zegt de HEERE: Zie, Ik zal kwaad over u verwekken uit uw huis, en zal uw vrouwen nemen voor uw ogen, en zal haar aan uw naaste geven; die zal bij uw vrouwen liggen, voor de ogen dezer zon. 12Want gij hebt het in het verborgen gedaan; maar Ik zal deze zaak doen voor gans Israel, en voor de zon. 13Toen zeide David tot Nathan: Ik heb gezondigd tegen den HEERE! En Nathan zeide tot David: De HEERE heeft ook uw zonde weggenomen, gij zult niet sterven. 14Nochtans, dewijl gij door deze zaak de vijanden des HEEREN grotelijks hebt doen lasteren, zal ook de zoon, die u geboren is, den dood sterven. 15Toen ging Nathan naar zijn huis. En de HEERE sloeg het kind, dat de huisvrouw van Uria David gebaard had, dat het zeer krank werd. 16En David zocht God voor dat jongsken; en David vastte een vasten, en ging in, en lag den nacht over op de aarde. 17Toen maakten zich de oudsten van zijn huis op tot hem, om hem te doen opstaan van de aarde; maar hij wilde niet, en at geen brood met hen. 18En het geschiedde op den zevenden dag, dat het kind stierf; en Davids knechten vreesden hem aan te zeggen, dat het kind dood was, want zij zeiden: Ziet, als het kind nog levend was, spraken wij tot hem, maar hij hoorde naar onze stem niet, hoe zullen wij dan tot hem zeggen: Het kind is dood? Want het mocht kwaad doen. 19Maar David zag, dat zijn knechten mompelden; zo merkte David, dat het kind dood was. Dies zeide David tot zijn knechten: Is het kind dood? En zij zeiden: Het is dood. 20Toen stond David op van de aarde, en wies en zalfde zich, en veranderde zijn kleding, en ging in het huis des HEEREN, en bad aan; daarna kwam hij in zijn huis, en eiste brood; en zij zetten hem brood voor, en hij at. 21Zo zeiden zijn knechten tot hem: Wat is dit voor een ding, dat gij gedaan hebt? Om des levenden kinds wil hebt gij gevast en geweend; maar nadat het kind gestorven is, zijt gij opgestaan en hebt brood gegeten. 22En hij zeide: Als het kind nog leefde, heb ik gevast en geweend; want ik zeide: Wie weet, de HEERE zou mij mogen genadig zijn, dat het kind levend bleve. 23Maar nu is het dood, waarom zou ik nu vasten? Zal ik hem nog kunnen wederhalen? Ik zal wel tot hem gaan, maar hij zal tot mij niet wederkomen. 24Daarna troostte David zijn huisvrouw Bathseba, en ging tot haar in, en lag bij haar; en zij baarde een zoon, wiens naam zij noemde Salomo; en de HEERE had hem lief. 25En zond heen door de hand van den profeet Nathan, en noemde zijn naam Jedid-Jah, om des HEEREN wil. 26Joab nu krijgde tegen Rabba der kinderen Ammons; en hij nam de koninklijke stad in. 27Toen zond Joab boden tot David, en zeide: Ik heb gekrijgd tegen Rabba, ook heb ik de waterstad ingenomen. 28Zo verzamel gij nu het overige des volks, en beleger de stad, en neem ze in; opdat niet, zo ik de stad zou innemen, mijn naam over haar uitgeroepen worde. 29Toen verzamelde David al dat volk, en toog naar Rabba; en hij krijgde tegen haar, en nam ze in. 30En hij nam de kroon haars konings van zijn hoofd af, welker gewicht was een talent gouds, met edelgesteente, en zij werd op Davids hoofd gezet; ook voerde hij uit een zeer groten roof der stad. 31Het volk nu, dat daarin was, voerde hij uit, en legde het onder zagen, en onder ijzeren dorswagens, en onder ijzeren bijlen, en deed hen door den ticheloven doorgaan; en alzo deed hij aan alle steden der kinderen Ammons. Daarna keerde David, en al het volk, weder naar Jeruzalem.
