1 Samuel 24

DOUAI-RHEIMS	LXX
1 Then David went up from thence, and dwelt in strong holds of Engaddi.	1 και ανεβη δαυιδ εκειθεν και εκαθισεν εν τοις στενοις εγγαδδι
2 And when Saul was returned from following the Philistines, they told him, saying: Behold, David is in the desert of Engaddi.	2 και εγενηθη ως ανεστρεψεν σαουλ απο οπισθεν των αλλοφυλων και απηγγελη αυτω λεγοντων οτι δαυιδ εν τη ερημω εγγαδδι
3 Saul therefore took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went out to seek after David, and his men, even upon the most craggy rocks, which are accessible only to wild goats.	3 και ελαβεν μεθ' εαυτου τρεις χιλιαδας ανδρων εκλεκτους εκ παντος ισραηλ και επορευθη ζητειν τον δαυιδ και τους ανδρας αυτου επι προσωπον σαδαιεμ
4 And he came to the sheepcotes, which were in his way. And there was a cave, into which Saul went, to ease nature: now David and his men lay hid in the inner part of the cave.	4 και ηλθεν εις τας αγελας των ποιμνιων τας επι της οδου και ην εκει σπηλαιον και σαουλ εισηλθεν παρασκευασασθαι και δαυιδ και οι ανδρες αυτου εσωτερον του σπηλαιου εκαθηντο
5 And the servants of David said to him: Behold the day, of which the Lord said to thee: I will deliver thy enemy unto thee, that thou mayest do to him as it shall seem good in thy eyes. Then David arose, and secretly cut off the hem of Saul's robe.	5 και ειπον οι ανδρες δαυιδ προς αυτον ιδου η ημερα αυτη ην ειπεν κυριος προς σε παραδουναι τον εχθρον σου εις τας χειρας σου και ποιησεις αυτω ως αγαθον εν οφθαλμοις σου και ανεστη δαυιδ και αφειλεν το πτερυγιον της διπλοιδος της σαουλ λαθραιως
6 After which David's heart struck him, because he had cut off the hem of Saul's robe.	6 και εγενηθη μετα ταυτα και επαταξεν καρδια δαυιδ αυτον οτι αφειλεν το πτερυγιον της διπλοιδος αυτου
7 And he said to his men: The Lord be merciful unto me, that I may do no such thing to my master the Lord's anointed, as to lay my hand upon him, because he is the Lord's anointed.	7 και ειπεν δαυιδ προς τους ανδρας αυτου μηδαμως μοι παρα κυριου ει ποιησω το ρημα τουτο τω κυριω μου τω χριστω κυριου επενεγκαι χειρα μου επ' αυτον οτι χριστος κυριου εστιν ουτος
8 And David stopped his men with his words, and suffered them not to rise against Saul. But Saul rising up out of the cave, went on his way.	8 και επεισεν δαυιδ τους ανδρας αυτου εν λογοις και ουκ εδωκεν αυτοις ανασταντας θανατωσαι τον σαουλ και ανεστη σαουλ και κατεβη εις την οδον
9 And David also rose up after him: and going out of the cave cried after Saul, saying: My lord the king. And Saul looked behind him: and David bowing himself down to the ground, worshipped,	9 και ανεστη δαυιδ οπισω αυτου εκ του σπηλαιου και εβοησεν δαυιδ οπισω σαουλ λεγων κυριε βασιλευ και επεβλεψεν σαουλ εις τα οπισω αυτου και εκυψεν δαυιδ επι προσωπον αυτου επι την γην και προσεκυνησεν αυτω
10 And said to Saul: Why dost thou hear the words of men that say David seeketh thy hurt?	10 και ειπεν δαυιδ προς σαουλ ινα τι ακουεις των λογων του λαου λεγοντων ιδου δαυιδ ζητει την ψυχην σου
11 Behold this day thy eyes have seen, that the Lord hath delivered thee into my hand, in the cave, and I had a thought to kill thee, but my eye hath spared thee. For I said: I will not put out my hand against my lord, because he is the Lord's anointed.	11 ιδου εν τη ημερα ταυτη εορακασιν οι οφθαλμοι σου ως παρεδωκεν σε κυριος σημερον εις χειρα μου εν τω σπηλαιω και ουκ ηβουληθην αποκτειναι σε και εφεισαμην σου και ειπα ουκ εποισω χειρα μου επι κυριον μου οτι χριστος κυριου ουτος εστιν
12 Moreover see and know, O my father, the hem of thy robe in my hand, that when I cut, off the hem of thy robe, I would not put out my hand against thee. Reflect, and see, that there is no evil in my hand, nor iniquity, neither have I sinned against thee: but thou liest in wait for my life, to take it away.	12 και ιδου το πτερυγιον της διπλοιδος σου εν τη χειρι μου εγω αφηρηκα το πτερυγιον και ουκ απεκταγκα σε και γνωθι και ιδε σημερον οτι ουκ εστιν κακια εν τη χειρι μου ουδε ασεβεια και αθετησις και ουχ ημαρτηκα εις σε και συ δεσμευεις την ψυχην μου λαβειν αυτην
13 The Lord judge between me and thee, and the Lord revenge me of thee: but my hand shall not be upon thee.	13 δικασαι κυριος ανα μεσον εμου και σου και εκδικησαι με κυριος εκ σου και η χειρ μου ουκ εσται επι σοι
14 As also it is said in the old proverb: From the wicked shall wickedness come forth: therefore my hand shall not be upon thee. After whom dost thou come out, O king of Israel?	14 καθως λεγεται η παραβολη η αρχαια εξ ανομων εξελευσεται πλημμελεια και η χειρ μου ουκ εσται επι σε
15 After whom dost thou pursue? After a dead dog, after a flea.	15 και νυν οπισω τινος συ εκπορευη βασιλευ ισραηλ οπισω τινος καταδιωκεις συ οπισω κυνος τεθνηκοτος και οπισω ψυλλου ενος
16 Be the Lord judge, and judge between me and thee, and see, and judge my cause, and deliver me out of thy hand.	16 γενοιτο κυριος εις κριτην και δικαστην ανα μεσον εμου και ανα μεσον σου ιδοι κυριος και κριναι την κρισιν μου και δικασαι μοι εκ χειρος σου
17 And when David had made an end of speaking these words to Saul, Saul said: Is this thy voice, my son David? And Saul lifted up his voice, and wept.	17 και εγενετο ως συνετελεσεν δαυιδ τα ρηματα ταυτα λαλων προς σαουλ και ειπεν σαουλ η φωνη σου αυτη τεκνον δαυιδ και ηρεν την φωνην αυτου σαουλ και εκλαυσεν
18 And he said to David: Thou art more just than I: for thou hast done good to me, and I have rewarded thee with evil.	18 και ειπεν σαουλ προς δαυιδ δικαιος συ υπερ εμε οτι συ ανταπεδωκας μοι αγαθα εγω δε ανταπεδωκα σοι κακα
19 And thou hast shewn this day what good things thou hast done to me: how the Lord delivered me into thy hand, and thou hast not killed me.	19 και συ απηγγειλας μοι σημερον α εποιησας μοι αγαθα ως απεκλεισεν με κυριος σημερον εις χειρας σου και ουκ απεκτεινας με
20 For who when he hath found his enemy, will let him go well away? But the Lord reward thee for this good turn, for what thou hast done to me this day.	20 και οτι ει ευροιτο τις τον εχθρον αυτου εν θλιψει και εκπεμψαι αυτον εν οδω αγαθη και κυριος ανταποτεισει αυτω αγαθα καθως πεποιηκας σημερον
21 And now as I know that thou shalt surely be king, and have the kingdom of Israel in thy hand:	21 και νυν ιδου εγω γινωσκω οτι βασιλευων βασιλευσεις και στησεται εν χερσιν σου βασιλεια ισραηλ
22 Swear to me by the Lord, that thou wilt not destroy my seed after me, nor take away my name from the house of my father.	22 και νυν ομοσον μοι εν κυριω οτι ουκ εξολεθρευσεις το σπερμα μου οπισω μου και ουκ αφανιεις το ονομα μου εκ του οικου του πατρος μου
23 And David swore to Saul. So Saul went home: and David and his men went up into safer places.	23 και ωμοσεν δαυιδ τω σαουλ και απηλθεν σαουλ εις τον τοπον αυτου και δαυιδ και οι ανδρες αυτου ανεβησαν εις την μεσσαρα στενην
