12:1And the Lord sent Nathan to David: and when he was come to him, he said to him: There were two men in one city, the one rich, and the other poor.

2The rich man had exceeding many sheep and oxen.

3But the poor man had nothing at all but one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up, and which had grown up in his house together with his children, eating of his bread, and drinking of his cup, and sleeping in his bosom: and it was to him as a daughter.

4And when a certain stranger was come to the rich man, he spared to take of his own sheep and oxen, to make a feast for that stranger, who was come to him, but took the poor man's ewe, and dressed it for the man that was come to him.

5And David's anger being exceedingly kindled against that man, he said to Nathan: As the Lord liveth, the man that has done this is a child of death.

6He shall restore the ewe fourfold, because he did this thing, and had no pity.

7And Nathan said to David: You are the man. Thus says the Lord the God of Israel: I anointed you king over Israel, and I rescued you from the hand of Saul,

10Therefore the sword shall never depart from your house, because you have despised me, and have taken the wife of Urias the Hethite to be your wife.

11Thus says the Lord: Look, I will raise up evil against you out of your own house, and I will take your wives before your eyes I and give them to your neighhour, and he shall lie with your wives before this sun.

12For you did it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.

13And David said to Nathan: I have sinned against the Lord. And Nathan said to David: The Lord also has taken away your sin: you shall not die.

14Nevertheless, because you have given occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme, for this thing, the child that is born to you, shall surely die.

15And Nathan returned to his house. The Lord also struck the child which the wife of Urias had borne to David, and his life was despaired of.

16And David besought the Lord for the child: and David kept a fast, and going in by himself lay upon the ground.

17And the leaders of his house came, to make him rise from the ground: but he would not, neither did he eat food with them.

51:12Create a clean heart in me, O God: and renew a right spirit within my bowels.

13Cast me not away from your face; and take not your holy spirit from me.

14Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and strengthen me with a perfect spirit.

15I will teach the unjust your ways: and the evil shall be converted to you.

16Deliver me from blood, O God, you God of my salvation: and my tongue shall extol your righteousness.

17O Lord, you will open my lips: and my mouth shall declare your praise.

4:35And he says to them that day, when evening was come: Let us pass over to the other side.

36And sending away the crowd, they take him even as he was in the ship: and there were other ships with him.

37And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that the ship was satisfied.

38And he was in the hinder part of the ship, sleeping upon a pillow; and they awake him, and say to him: Master, does it not concern you that we perish?

39And rising up, he rebuked the wind, and said to the sea: Peace, be still. And the wind ceased: and there was made a great calm.

40And he said to them: Why are you fearful? have you not faith yet? And they feared exceedingly: and they said one to another: Who is this (thinkest you) that both wind and sea obey him?
