¹

And the Lord sent Nathan the prophet to David; and he went in to him, and said to him, There were two men in one city, one rich and the other poor.

¹

И$ посла` г~ь наџа'на пррoка къ дв~дђ. и^ внїиде к немђ, и^ рече е^мђ эTвњща'и м^и цр~ю нн~њ сђ'дъ и^ рече е^мђ. дв^а мђ'жа бњ'ста въ е^ді'номъ градњ. е^ді'нъ бога'тъ а^ дрђгїи ё^бо'гъ”

²

And the rich man had very many flocks and herds.

²

И$ ё^ бога'таго стада бя'хђ и^ бђи'воли мно'ѕи ѕњ'ло”

³

But the poor man had only one little ewe lamb, which he had purchased, and preserved, and reared; and it grew up with himself and his children in common; it ate of his bread and drank of his cup, and slept in his bosom, and was to him as a daughter.

³

А$ ё^ ё^бо'гаго не бњ` ничто'же. н^отокмо а%гница е^ді'на ма'ла, ю%же стя'жа и^ ё^строи ю&, и^ въскорми ю& и^ възрасте` с ни'мъ, и^ съ сн~омъ е^го въкђпњ. эT хлњба е^го ја^дя'ше, и^ эT ча'ши е^го пїя'ше. и^ на ло'нњ е^го почива'ше. и^ б^њ е^мђ ја%ко дщ^и”

⁴

And a traveller came to the rich man, and he spared to take of his flocks and of his herds, to dress for the traveller that came to him; and he took the poor man's lamb, and dressed it for the man that came to him.

⁴

И$ прїиде нњкто` с пђти къ мђжђ бога'томђ. и^ не въсхотњ поя'ти эT стаD свои^хъ и^ эT бђи'волицъ свои^хъ на сътворе'нїе ѓ^бњ'дђ, пђтникђ пришеDшђ к немђ`, н^о поя'тъ а%гницђ ё^бога'го. и^ сътвори ѓ^бњ'дъ мђ'жђ пришеDшђ к немђ`”

⁵

And David was greatly moved with anger against the man; and David said to Nathan, As the Lord lives, the man that did this thing shall surely die.

⁵

И$ разгнњвася гнњ'вомъ ѕњ'ло дв~дъ на мђ'жа того`. и^ рече дв~дъ къ наџа'нђ, жиv г~ь ја%ко достои'нъ е^сть мђж'ъ то'й смр~ти сътвори'выи т^о”

⁶

And he shall restore the lamb seven-fold, because he has not spared.

⁶

И$ а'гницђ възврати'ть сђгђбъ сеDморице'ю, понеже е^сть сътвори'лъ си'це. и^ ѓ^ неMже не въсхотњ`”

⁷

And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man that has done this. Thus says the Lord God of Israel, I anointed thee to be king over Israel, and I rescued thee out of the hand of Saul;

⁷

И$ рече наџа'нъ къ дв~дђ. т^ы е^си чл~къ сътвори'выи с^е, се же т^ы гл~етъ г~ь б~ъ і^и^л~евъ, а%зъ е^смь пома'заX т^я на црsтво въ і^и^л~и. а%зъ и^збави'хъ т^я и^з рђки` саё'ловы”

⁸

and I gave thee the house of thy lord, and the wives of thy lord into thy bosom, and I gave to thee the house of Israel and Juda; and if that had been little, I would have given thee yet more.

⁸

И$ дахъ т^и до'мъ г~а твое^го и^ жены` господи'на твое^го в ло'нотвое` и^ да'хъ т^и до'мъ і^и^л~евъ і^ё'динъ” и^ли т^и ма'лот^о е^сть да ти приложђ` к си'мъ и^ е^ще`”

⁹

Why hast thou set at nought the word of the Lord, to do that which is evil in his eyes? thou hast slain Urias the Chettite with the sword, and thou hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and thou hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.

⁹

И$ чт^о ја%ко ѓ^скверни сло'во гн~е, е^же сътвори` лђка'вое преD ѓ^чи'ма е^го. ё%рїю б^о хет#џе'я ё^би` ѓ^рђжїемъ и^ женђ е^го поя'тъ себњ` въ женђ. и^ того ё%рїю ё^би` сн~ъ аMмонь ѓ^рђжїемъ”

¹⁰

Now therefore the sword shall not depart from thy house for ever, because thou hast set me at nought, and thou hast taken the wife of Urias the Chettite, to be thy wife.

¹⁰

И нн~њ да не эTстђ'пит# ѓ^рђжїе эT до'мђ твое^го до' вњка. зане` ё^ничи'жи м^я и^ поя'тъ женђ` ё%рїя хет#џе'я въ женђ себњ`”

¹¹

Thus says the Lord, Behold, I will raise up against thee evil out of thy house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and will give them to thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun.

¹¹

Си'це глеT г~ь с^е а%зъ въставлю` ѕл^о эT до'мђ твое^го. и^ разда'мъ жены` твоя преD ѓ^чи'ма твои'ма. и^ дамъ ближниM твоиM и лягђтъ со жена'ми твои'ми предъ сл~нцемъ си'мъ”

¹²

For thou didst it secretly, but I will do this thing in the sight of all Israel, and before this sun.

¹²

ЈА/кот^ы сътвори` въ та'инњ. и^ а'зъ сътворю` гл~ъ се'й преD всњмъ і^и^л~емъ, и^ преD слн~цемъ си'мъ”

¹³

And David said to Nathan, I have sinned against the Lord. And Nathan said to David, And the Lord has put away thy sin; thou shalt not die.

¹³

И$ рече дв~дъ къ наџа'нђ. съгрњши'хъ къ г~ђ мое^мђ, и^ рече наџаn къ дв~дђ. г~ь эTја%тъ съгрњшенїе твое эT тебе` не и%маши ё%мрети”

¹⁴

Only because thou hast given great occasion of provocation to the enemies of the Lord by this thing, thy son also that is born to thee shall surely die.

¹⁴

Токмо ја%ко ѓ^стря` и^зъѓ^стрю` врагы` твоя гла'сомъ си'мъ. и^ с^е сн~ъ тво'и рожде'ися эT тебе`, смр~тїю ё%мреT”

¹⁵

And Nathan departed to his house. And the Lord smote the child, which the wife of Urias the Chettite bore to David, and it was ill.

¹⁵

И$ эTи'де наџа'нъ в до'мъ свои. и^ съкрђши г~ь дњтищъ. и^же роди` жена` ё%рїина дв~дђ и^ разболњ'ся”

¹⁶

And David enquired of God concerning the child, and David fasted, and went in and lay all night upon the ground.

¹⁶

И$ взыска` дв~дъ г~а ѓ^ дњтищи. и^ постися двDъ по'стомъ. и^ ѓ^блекъся въ врњтище лежа'ше ниw на земли`”

¹⁷

And the elders of his house arose and went to him to raise him up from the ground, but he would not rise, nor did he eat bread with them.

¹⁷

И$ внидо'ша к немђ` ста'рцы до'мђ е^го. въздви'гнђти и& эT земля` хотя'ше и^ не хотя'ше въста'ти. и^ не въкђси с ни'ми хлњба”

¹⁸

And it came to pass on the seventh day that the child died: and the servants of David were afraid to tell him that the child was dead; for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive we spoke to him, and he hearkened not to our voice; and how should we tell him that the child is dead?—so would he do himself harm.

¹⁸

И$ ја%ко бы'сть дн~ь, з~. и^ ё'мре ѓ^тро'ча. и^ възбоя'шася раби' двд~ви повњ'дати е^мђ ја%ко ё%мре ѓ^тро'ча. рњша б^о е^ще` бя'ше ѓ%троча жи'во, и^ не послђша гла'са на'шего. т^о ка'ко нн~њ речем# к немђ. ја%ко ё%мре ѓ^тро'ча, и^ сътвори'тъ ѕл^о”

¹⁹

And David understood that his servants were whispering, and David perceived that the child was dead: and David said to his servants, Is the child dead? and they said, He is dead.

¹⁹

И$ разђмњ двд~ъ ја%ко ѓ%троцы е^го скорбя'хђ. и^ ё^вњда ја%ко ё%мре ѓ^тро'ча. и^ рече двд~ъ ѓ%трокомъ свои^мъ, ё%мре л^и ѓ^тро'ча. и^ рњша ё%мре”

²⁰

Then David rose up from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his raiment, and went into the house of God, and worshipped him; and went into his own house, and called for bread to eat, and they set bread before him and he ate.

²⁰

И$ въстаv двд~ъ эT земля` и^ ё^мы'ся. і^ и^змњни` ри'зы своя`. и^ вни'де в до'мъ бж~їи и^ поклони'ся е^мђ. и^ възвра'щся в доM сво'и. и^ проси` ја%сти хлњба. и^ преDложи'ша е^мђ ја^сти хлњ'бы”

²¹

And his servants said to him, What is this thing that thou hast done concerning the child? while it was yet living thou didst fast, and weep, and watch: and when the child was dead thou didst rise up, and didst eat bread, and drink.

²¹

И$ рњшA ѓ%троцы е^го к немђ. чт^о сътвори` ѓ^троча'ти ра'ди. ја%ко е^ще` сђ'щђ ѓ^троча'ти жи'вђ. постя'шеся и^ пла'кашеся и^ бдя'ше. и^ ја%ко ё%мре ѓ^тро'ча. и^ т^ы въста'в# и^ я^дя` хлњб# и^ питъ”

²²

And David said, While the child yet lived, I fasted and wept; for I said, Who knows if the Lord will pity me, and the child live?

²²

И$ рече двд~ъ е^гда б^њ ѓ^тро'ча жи'во, пости'хъся и^ пла'кахся, ја%ко рњхъ кт^о вњсть поми'лђетъ л^и мя г~ь, и^ жи'во бђ'детъ ѓ^тро'ча”

²³

But now it is dead, why should I fast thus? shall I be able to bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.

²³

И$ нн~њ ё%же ё%мре, да почто мн^њ ё%же пости'тися. е^да могђ` възъврати'ти и& ктомђ`. а%зъ б^о и%мам# и^ти` к немђ, а^ то'й не възвратиTся къ мнњ`”

²⁴

And David comforted Bersabee his wife, and he went in to her, and lay with her; and she conceived and bore a son, and he called his name Solomon, and the Lord loved him.

²⁴

И$ призва` двд~ъ вирсавїю женђ` свою. и^ внїиде с не'ю в ло'жницђ свою, и^ ля'же с не'ю, и^ зача'тъ въ чре'вњ вирса'вїя, и^ роди` сн~а и^ нарече и^мя е^мђ соло'монъ и^ г~ь възлюби` и&”

²⁵

And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and called his name Jeddedi, for the Lord's sake.

²⁵

И$ пђсти` рђко'ю наџа'на пррoка и^ нареq и%мя е^мђ и^е^д#де'ди. поне'же прїя'тъ сло'во гн~е”

²⁶

And Joab fought against Rabbath of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city.

²⁶

И$ побњди` и^ѓ^а'въ въ раvвва'те сн~ы а^м#моня, и^ прїя'тъ граD црsтва”

²⁷

And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbath, and taken the city of waters.

²⁷

И$ посла` и^ѓ^а'въ послы` къ двд~ђ, и^ ре'че побыди'хся ѓ^ равва'џњ и^ эTја%хъ во'дђ градђ”

²⁸

And now gather the rest of the people, and encamp against the city, and take it beforehand; lest I take the city first, and my name be called upon it.

²⁸

И$ нн~њ съвокђпи` ѓ^ста'нокъ людїи, и^ прїиди къ гра'дђ, и^ прїими е^го да не а%зъ преимђ граD, и^ наречеTся и%мя мое в неM”

²⁹

And David gathered all the people, and went to Rabbath, and fought against it, and took it.

²⁹

И$ собра` двд~ъ вс^я лю'ди и%де въ равваg и^ въполчи'ся на'нь и^ прїя'т# и&”

³⁰

And he took the crown of Molchom their king from off his head, and the weight of it was a talent of gold, with precious stones, and it was upon the head of David; and he carried forth very much spoil of the city.

³⁰

И$ взяT вњнецъ молхо'я цр~я и^хъ съ главы` е^го, тала'нтъ зла'та мњра е^го, эT ка'менїа дра'га, и^ на главњ` двд~вњ б^њ прsно, и^ коры'сть и^знесе` и^з гра'да того мно'гђ ѕњ'ло”

³¹

And he brought forth the people that were in it, and put them under the saw, and under iron harrows, and axes of iron, and made them pass through the brick-kiln: and thus he did to all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.

³¹

И$ лю'ди сђщая в не'мъ и^зведе`, и^ приста'ви къ пилаM и^ къ три зђ'бомъ желњзныM и^миже эTсњка'ют# ка'менїе, и^ къ творя'щиM желњ'зо, и^ къ творя'щимъ пли'нџы превожда'ше, и^ та'ко сътвори` всMњ гра'домъ сн~овъ а^м#мо'нь, и^ възврати'ся двд~ъ и^ ве'сь і^и^л~ь въ і^ерsлиM”
