ΠΑΡΑΛΕΙΠΟΜΕΝΩΝ Α´ - 1 Cronache - Chronicles I 19

GREEK BIBLE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Μετα δε ταυτα απεθανεν ο Ναας βασιλευς των υιων Αμμων, και εβασιλευσεν αντ' αυτου ο υιος αυτου.	1 Afterward Nahash, king of the Ammonites, died and his son succeeded him as king.
2 Και ειπεν ο Δαβιδ, Θελω καμει ελεος προς Ανουν τον υιον του Ναας, επειδη ο πατηρ αυτου εκαμεν ελεος προς εμε. Και απεστειλεν ο Δαβιδ πρεσβεις, δια να παρηγορηση αυτον περι του πατρος αυτου. Και ηλθον οι δουλοι του Δαβιδ εις την γην των υιων Αμμων προς τον Ανουν, δια να παρηγορησωσιν αυτον.	2 David said, "I will show kindness to Hanun, the son of Nahash, for his father treated me with kindness." Therefore he sent envoys to him to comfort him over the death of his father. But when David's servants had entered the land of the Ammonites to comfort Hanun,
3 Και ειπον οι αρχοντες των υιων Αμμων προς τον Ανουν, Νομιζεις οτι ο Δαβιδ τιμων τον πατερα σου απεστειλε παρηγορητας προς σε; δεν ηλθον οι δουλοι αυτου προς σε δια να ερευνησωσι και να κατασκοπευσωσι και να καταστρεψωσι τον τοπον;	3 the Ammonite princes said to Hanun, "Do you think David is doing this--sending you these consolers--to honor your father? Have not his servants rather come to you to explore the land, spying it out for its overthrow?"
4 Και επιασεν ο Ανουν τους δουλους του Δαβιδ και εξυρισεν αυτους και απεκοψε το ημισυ των ιματιων αυτων μεχρι των γλουτων, και απεπεμψεν αυτους.	4 Thereupon Hanun seized David's servants and had them shaved and their garments cut off half-way at the hips. Then he sent them away.
5 Υπηγαν δε και απηγγειλαν προς τον Δαβιδ περι των ανδρων. Και απεστειλεν εις συναντησιν αυτων? επειδη οι ανδρες ησαν ητιμασμενοι σφοδρα. Και ειπεν ο βασιλευς, Καθησατε εν Ιεριχω εωσου αυξηθωσιν οι πωγωνες σας, και επιστρεψατε.	5 When David was informed of what had happened to his men, he sent messengers to meet them, for the men had been greatly disgraced. "Remain at Jericho," the king told them, "until your beards have grown again; and then you may come back here."
6 Βλεποντες δε οι υιοι Αμμων οτι ησαν βδελυκτοι εις τον Δαβιδ, επεμψαν ο Ανουν και οι υιοι Αμμων χιλια ταλαντα αργυριου, δια να μισθωσωσιν εις εαυτους αμαξας και ιππεας εκ της Μεσοποταμιας και εκ της Συριας-μααχα και εκ της Σωβα.	6 When the Ammonites realized that they had put themselves in bad odor with David, Hanun and the Ammonites sent a thousand talents of silver to hire chariots and horsemen from Aram Naharaim, from Aram-maacah, and from Zobah.
7 Και εμισθωσαν εις εαυτους τριακοντα δυο χιλιαδας αμαξας και τον βασιλεα της Μααχα μετα του λαου αυτου, οιτινες ηλθον και εστρατοπεδευσαν κατεναντι της Μεδεβα. Και συναχθεντες οι υιοι Αμμων εκ των πολεων αυτων, ηλθον να πολεμησωσι.	7 They hired thirty-two thousand chariots along with the king of Maacah and his army, who came and encamped before Medeba. The Ammonites also assembled from their cities and came out for war.
8 Και οτε ηκουσε ταυτα ο Δαβιδ, απεστειλε τον Ιωαβ και απαν το στρατευμα των δυνατων.	8 When David heard of this, he sent Joab and his whole army of warriors against them.
9 Και εξηλθον οι υιοι Αμμων και παρεταχθησαν εις πολεμον κατα την πυλην της πολεως? οι δε βασιλεις οι ελθοντες ησαν καθ' εαυτους εν τη πεδιαδι.	9 The Ammonites marched out and lined up for a battle at the gate of the city, while the kings who had come to their help remained apart in the open field.
10 Βλεπων δε ο Ιωαβ οτι η μαχη παρεταχθη εναντιον αυτου εμπροσθεν και οπισθεν, εξελεξεν εκ παντων των εκλεκτων του Ισραηλ και παρεταξεν αυτους εναντιον των Συριων.	10 When Joab saw that there was a battle line both in front of and behind him, he chose some of the best fighters among the Israelites and set them in array against the Arameans;
11 Το δε υπολοιπον του λαου εδωκεν εις την χειρα του Αβισαι αδελφου αυτου, και παρεταχθησαν εναντιον των υιων Αμμων.	11 the rest of the army, which he placed under the command of his brother Abishai, then lined up to oppose the Ammonites.
12 Και ειπεν, Εαν οι Συριοι υπερισχυσωσι κατ' εμου, τοτε συ θελεις με σωσει? εαν δε οι υιοι Αμμων υπερισχυσωσι κατα σου, τοτε εγω θελω σε σωσει?	12 And he said: "If the Arameans prove too strong for me, you must come to my help; and if the Ammonites prove too strong for you, I will save you.
13 ανδριζου, και ας κραταιωθωμεν υπερ του λαου ημων και υπερ των πολεων του Θεου ημων? ο δε Κυριος ας καμη το αρεστον εις τους οφθαλμους αυτου.	13 Hold steadfast and let us show ourselves courageous for the sake of our people and the cities of our God; then may the LORD do what seems best to him."
14 Και προσηλθεν ο Ιωαβ και ο λαος ο μετ' αυτου εναντιον των Συριων εις μαχην? οι δε εφυγον απ' εμπροσθεν αυτου.	14 Joab therefore advanced with his men to engage the Arameans in battle; but they fled before him.
15 Και οτε ειδον οι υιοι Αμμων οτι οι Συριοι εφυγον, εφυγον και αυτοι απ' εμπροσθεν του Αβισαι του αδελφου αυτου και εισηλθον εις την πολιν. Και ο Ιωαβ ηλθεν εις Ιερουσαλημ.	15 And when the Ammonites saw that the Arameans had fled, they also took to flight before his brother Abishai, and reentered the city. Joab then returned to Jerusalem.
16 Ιδοντες δε οι Συριοι οτι κατετροπωθησαν εμπροσθεν του Ισραηλ, απεστειλαν μηνυτας και εξηγαγον τους Συριους τους περαν του ποταμου? και Σωφακ, ο αρχιστρατηγος του Αδαρεζερ, επορευετο εμπροσθεν αυτων.	16 Seeing themselves vanquished by Israel, the Arameans sent messengers to bring out the Arameans from the other side of the River, with Shophach, the general of Hadadezer's army, at their head.
17 Και οτε απηγγελθη προς τον Δαβιδ, συνηθροισε παντα τον Ισραηλ, και διεβη τον Ιορδανην και ηλθεν επ' αυτους και παρεταχθη εναντιον αυτων. Και οτε παρεταχθη ο Δαβιδ εις πολεμον εναντιον των Συριων, επολεμησαν με αυτον.	17 When this was reported to David, he gathered all Israel together, crossed the Jordan, and met them. With the army of David drawn up to fight the Arameans, they gave battle.
18 Και εφυγον οι Συριοι απ' εμπροσθεν του Ισραηλ? και εξωλοθρευσεν ο Δαβιδ εκ των Συριων επτα χιλιαδας αμαξων και τεσσαρακοντα χιλιαδας πεζων? και Σωφαχ, τον αρχιστρατηγον, εθανατωσε.	18 But the Arameans fled before Israel, and David slew seven thousand of their chariot fighters and forty thousand of their foot soldiers; he also killed Shophach, the general of the army.
19 Και ιδοντες οι δουλοι του Αδαρεζερ οτι κατετροπωθησαν εμπροσθεν του Ισραηλ, εκαμον ειρηνην μετα του Δαβιδ και εγειναν δουλοι αυτου? και δεν ηθελον πλεον οι Συριοι να βοηθησωσι τους υιους Αμμων.	19 When the vassals of Hadadezer saw themselves vanquished by Israel, they made peace with David and became his subjects. After this, the Arameans refused to come to the aid of the Ammonites.
