2 Samuel 12
Menge-Bibel 1939
18Als das Kind dann am siebten Tage starb, trugen die Hofleute Davids Bedenken, ihm den Tod des Kindes anzuzeigen; denn sie dachten: »Solange das Kind noch am Leben war, hat er unsere Vorstellungen, wenn wir ihm zuredeten, unbeachtet gelassen: wie können wir ihm da jetzt den Tod des Kindes anzeigen? Es gäbe ein Unglück ab!«
Reina-Valera 1909
18Y al séptimo día murió el niño; pero sus siervos no osaban hacerle saber que el niño era muerto, diciendo entre sí: Cuando el niño aun vivía, le hablábamos, y no quería oir nuestra voz: ¿pues cuánto más mal le hará, si le dijéremos que el niño es muerto?
King James Version
18And 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?
World English Bible
18On the seventh day, the child died. David’s servants 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 didn’t listen to our voice. How will he then harm himself if we tell him that the child is dead?”
