ΒΑΣΙΛΕΙΩΝ Α´ - 1 Samuele - Kings I 14

GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Ημεραν δε τινα ειπεν Ιωναθαν, ο υιος του Σαουλ, προς τον νεον τον βασταζοντα τα οπλα αυτου, Ελθε, και ας περασωμεν προς την φρουραν των Φιλισταιων, την εν τω περαν? προς τον πατερα αυτου ομως δεν εφανερωσε τουτο.	1 And it happened that, on a certain day, Jonathan, the son of Saul, said to the youth who bore his armor, “Come, and let us go over to the garrison of the Philistines, which is across from that place.” But he did not reveal this to his father.
2 Ο δε Σαουλ εκαθητο επι του ακρου του Γαβαα, υπο την ροδιαν την εν Μιγρων? και ο λαος ο μετ' αυτου ητο εως εξακοσιοι ανδρες?	2 Moreover, Saul was staying in the furthermost part of Gibeah, below the pomegranate tree that was at Migron. And the people with him were about six hundred men.
3 και Αχια, ο υιος του Αχιτωβ, αδελφου του Ιχαβωδ, υιου του Φινεες, υιου του Ηλει, ιερευς του Κυριου εν Σηλω, φορων εφοδ. Και ο λαος δεν ηξευρεν οτι υπηγεν ο Ιωναθαν.	3 And Ahijah, the son of Ahitub, the brother of Ichabod, the son of Phinehas, who had been born of Eli, the priest of the Lord at Shiloh, wore the ephod. But the people did not know where Jonathan had gone.
4 Μεταξυ δε των διαβασεων, δια των οποιων ο Ιωναθαν εζητει να περαση προς την φρουραν των Φιλισταιων, ητο αποτομος βραχος εξ ενος μερους και αποτομος βραχος εκ του αλλου μερους? και το ονομα του ενος Βοσες, το δε ονομα του αλλον Σενε.	4 Now there were, between the ascents along which Jonathan strove to cross to the garrison of the Philistines, rocks projecting from both sides, and, in the manner of teeth, boulders breaking out from one side and the other. The name of one was Shining, and the name of the other was Thorny.
5 Το μετωπον του ενος βραχου ητο προς βορραν απεναντι Μιχμας, και το του αλλου προς νοτον απεναντι Γαβαα.	5 One boulder projected toward the north, opposite Michmash, and the other toward the south, opposite Gibeah.
6 Και ειπεν ο Ιωναθαν προς τον νεον τον βασταζοντα τα οπλα αυτου, Ελθε, και ας περασωμεν προς την φρουραν των απεριτμητων τουτων? ισως ενεργηση ο Κυριος υπερ ημων? διοτι δεν ειναι εις τον Κυριον εμποδιον να σωση δια πολλων η δι' ολιγων.	6 Then Jonathan said to the youth who bore his armor: “Come, let us go across to the garrison of these uncircumcised. And perhaps the Lord may act on our behalf. For it is not difficult for the Lord to save, either by many, or by few.”
7 Και ειπε προς αυτον ο οπλοφορος αυτου, Καμε ο, τι ειναι εν τη καρδια σου? προχωρει? ιδου, εγω ειμαι μετα σου κατα την καρδιαν σου.	7 And his armor bearer said to him: “Do all that is pleasing to your soul. Go wherever you wish, and I will be with you, wherever you will choose.”
8 Τοτε ειπεν ο Ιωναθαν, Ιδου, ημεις θελομεν περασει προς τους ανδρας και θελομεν δειχθη εις αυτους?	8 And Jonathan said: “Behold, we will cross over to these men. And when we will be seen by them,
9 εαν ειπωσι προς ημας ουτω, Σταθητε εως να ελθωμεν προς εσας? τοτε θελομεν σταθη εν τω τοπω ημων και δεν θελομεν αναβη προς αυτους?	9 if they have spoken to us in this way, ‘Stay until we come to you,’ let us stand still in our place, and not ascend to them.
10 αλλ' εαν ειπωσιν ουτως, Αναβητε προς ημας? τοτε θελομεν αναβη? διοτι ο Κυριος παρεδωκεν αυτους εις την χειρα ημων? και τουτο θελει εισθαι εις ημας το σημειον.	10 But if they will say, ‘Ascend to us,’ let us ascend. For the Lord has delivered them into our hands. This will be the sign to us.”
11 Εδειχθησαν λοιπον αμφοτεροι εις την φρουραν των Φιλισταιων? και οι Φιλισταιοι ειπον, Ιδου, οι Εβραιοι εξερχονται εκ των τρυπων, οπου ειχον κρυφθη.	11 And so, both of them appeared before the garrison of the Philistines. And the Philistines said, “See, the Hebrews have come out from the holes in which they had been hiding.”
12 Και ελαλησαν οι ανδρες της φρουρας προς τον Ιωναθαν και προς τον βασταζοντα τα οπλα αυτου, και ειπον, Αναβητε προς ημας, και θελομεν σας φανερωσει τι. Και ειπεν ο Ιωναθαν προς τον οπλοφορον αυτου, Αναβα κατοπιν μου? διοτι παρεδωκεν αυτους ο Κυριος εις την χειρα του Ισραηλ.	12 And the men of the garrison spoke to Jonathan and to his armor bearer, and they said, “Ascend to us, and we will show you something.” And Jonathan said to his armor bearer: “Let us ascend. Follow me. For the Lord has delivered them into the hands of Israel.”
13 Και ανερπυσεν ο Ιωναθαν με τας χειρας αυτου και με τους ποδας αυτου, και ο βασταζων τα οπλα αυτου κατοπιν αυτου? και επεσον εμπροσθεν του Ιωναθαν? και ο βασταζων τα οπλα αυτου εθανατονεν αυτους κατοπιν αυτου.	13 Then Jonathan ascended, crawling on his hands and feet, and his armor bearer after him. And then, some fell before Jonathan, others his armor bearer killed as he was following him.
14 Αυτη δε η πρωτη σφαγη, την οποιαν εκαμον ο Ιωναθαν και ο οπλοφορος αυτου, ητο περιπου εικοσι ανδρες, εις διαστημα γης ημισεως στρεμματος.	14 And the first slaughter was made when Jonathan and his armor bearer struck down about twenty of the men, in the midst of an area of land that a yoke of oxen would usually plow in a day.
15 Και εγεινε τρομος εν τω στρατοπεδω, εν τοις αγροις και εν παντι τω λαω? η φρουρα και οι λεηλατουντες, και αυτοι κατετρομαξαν, και η γη συνεταραχθη? ωστε ητο ως τρομος Θεου.	15 And a miracle occurred in the camp, out in the fields. And all of the people of their garrison, who had gone out in order to plunder, were stupefied. And the earth trembled. And it happened as a miracle from God.
16 Και ειδον οι φρουροι του Σαουλ εν Γαβαα του Βενιαμιν, και ιδου, το πληθος διελυετο και βαθμηδον διεσκορπιζετο.	16 And the watchmen of Saul, who were at Gibeah of Benjamin, looked out, and behold, a multitude was thrown down and dispersed, this way and that.
17 Τοτε ειπεν ο Σαουλ προς τον λαον τον μετ' αυτου, Απαριθμησατε τωρα και ιδετε τις ανεχωρησεν εξ ημων. Και οτε απηριθμησαν, ιδου, ο Ιωναθαν και ο οπλοφορος αυτου δεν ησαν.	17 And Saul said to the people who were with him, “Inquire and see who has gone out from us.” And when they had inquired, it was found that Jonathan and his armor bearer were not present.
18 Και ειπεν ο Σαουλ προς τον Αχια, Φερε εδω την κιβωτον του Θεου. Διοτι η κιβωτος του Θεου ητο τοτε μετα των υιων Ισραηλ.	18 And Saul said to Ahijah, “Bring the ark of the God.” (For the ark of God was, in that day, with the sons of Israel in that place.)
19 Και ενω ελαλει ο Σαουλ προς τον ιερεα, ο θορυβος εν τω στρατοπεδω των Φιλισταιων επροχωρει επι το μαλλον και επληθυνετο? ο δε Σαουλ ειπε προς τον ιερεα, Συρε οπισω την χειρα σου.	19 And while Saul spoke to the priest, there arose a great tumult in the camp of the Philistines. And it was increasing, little by little, and it was being heard more clearly. And Saul said to the priest, “Withdraw your hand.”
20 Και συνηθροισθησαν ο Σαουλ και πας ο λαος ο μετ' αυτου και ηλθον εως εις την μαχην? και ιδου, παντος ανδρος η ρομφαια ητο εναντιον του συντροφου αυτου, σφαγη μεγαλη σφοδρα.	20 Then Saul, and all the people who were with him, cried out together, and they went to the place of the conflict. And behold, each one’s sword had been turned against his neighbor, and there was a very great slaughter.
21 οι δε Εβραιοι οι μετα των Φιλισταιων οντες ως αλλοτε, οιτινες ειχον αναβη μετ' αυτων εις το στρατοπεδον εκ των περιξ, και αυτοι ετι ηνωθησαν μετα των Ισραηλιτων, οιτινες ησαν μετα του Σαουλ και Ιωναθαν.	21 Moreover, the Hebrews who had been with the Philistines yesterday and the day before, and who had ascended with them into the camp, turned back so that they might be with those of Israel who were with Saul and Jonathan.
22 Και παντες οι ανδρες του Ισραηλ οι κρυπτομενοι εν τω ορει Εφραιμ, ακουσαντες οτι οι Φιλισταιοι εφευγον, εδραμον και αυτοι κατοπιν αυτων εις πολεμον.	22 Likewise, all the Israelites who had hidden themselves on mount Ephraim, hearing that the Philistines had fled, joined themselves with their own in the battle. And there were with Saul about ten thousand men.
23 Και εσωσεν ο Κυριος τον Ισραηλ εν τη ημερα εκεινη? και η μαχη επερασεν εις Βαιθ-αυεν.	23 And the Lord saved Israel on that day. But the fight continued as far as Bethaven.
24 Οι δε ανδρες του Ισραηλ απεκαμον την ημεραν εκεινην? διοτι ο Σαουλ ειχεν ορκισει τον λαον, λεγων, Επικαταρατος ο ανθρωπος, οστις φαγη τροφην εως εσπερας, και εκδικηθω απο των εχθρων μου. Οθεν δεν εγευθη τροφην πας ο λαος.	24 And the men of Israel were joined together on that day. And Saul made the people swear, saying, “Cursed be the man who will eat bread, until evening, until I am avenged of my enemies.” And the entire people did not consume bread.
25 Και παν το πληθος ηλθεν εις δασος, οπου ητο μελι κατα γης.	25 And all the common people went into a forest, in which there was honey on the surface of the field.
26 Και οτε εισηλθεν ο λαος εις το δασος, ιδου, το μελι εσταλαξεν? ουδεις ομως επλησιασε την χειρα αυτου εις το στομα αυτου? διοτι εφοβηθη ο λαος τον ορκον.	26 And so the people entered the forest, and there appeared flowing honey, but no one drew his hand near his mouth. For the people were afraid of the oath.
27 Ο Ιωναθαν ομως δεν ειχεν ακουσει, οτε ο πατηρ αυτου ωρκισε τον λαον? οθεν ηπλωσε το ακρον της ραβδου της εν τη χειρι αυτου και εβυθισεν αυτο εις κηρηθραν και εβαλε την χειρα αυτου εις το στομα αυτου, και ανεβλεψαν οι οφθαλμοι αυτου.	27 But Jonathan had not heard that his father had bound the people to an oath. And so he extended the top of the staff that he was holding in his hand, and he dipped it in a honeycomb. And he turned his hand to his mouth, and his eyes were brightened.
28 Απεκριθη δε εις εκ του λαου και ειπεν, Ο πατηρ σου ωρκισε δι' ορκου τον λαον, λεγων, Επικαταρατος ο ανθρωπος, οστις φαγη τροφην σημερον? δια τουτο ο λαος ειναι εκλελυμενος.	28 And in response, one of the people said, “Your father has bound the people by an oath, saying: ‘Cursed be the man who will eat any bread this day.’ ” (For the people were faint.)
29 Ο δε Ιωναθαν ειπεν, Εταραξεν ο πατηρ μου τον κοσμον? ιδετε, παρακαλω, ποσον ανεβλεψαν οι οφθαλμοι μου, διοτι εγευθην ολιγον εκ τουτου του μελιτος?	29 And Jonathan said: “My father has troubled the land. You have seen for yourselves that my eyes were brightened, because I tasted a little of this honey.
30 ποσω μαλλον, εαν ο λαος ηθελε φαγει την σημερον ελευθερως εκ των λαφυρων των εχθρων αυτου, τα οποια ευρηκε; διοτι δεν ηθελε γεινει τωρα πολυ μεγαλητερα σφαγη μεταξυ των Φιλισταιων;	30 How much more so, if the people had eaten from the plunder that they find with their enemies? Would not a greater slaughter have been accomplished among the Philistines?”
31 Επαταξαν δε εν εκεινη τη ημερα τους Φιλισταιους απο Μιχμας εως Αιαλων? και ο λαος ητο εκλελυμενος σφοδρα.	31 Therefore, on that day, they struck down the Philistines, from Michmash as far as Aijalon. But the people were exceedingly wearied.
32 Οθεν ερριφθη ο λαος εις τα λαφυρα, και ελαβε προβατα και βοας και μοσχους και εσφαξαν κατα γης? και ετρωγεν ο λαος μετα του αιματος.	32 And turning to the spoils, they took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and they slew them on the ground. And the people ate with blood.
33 Ανηγγειλαν δε προς τον Σαουλ, λεγοντες, Ιδου, ο λαος αμαρτανει εις τον Κυριον, διοτι τρωγουσι μετα του αιματος. Και ειπε, Παραβαται εσταθητε? κυλισατε προς εμε σημερον λιθον μεγαν.	33 Then they reported to Saul, saying that the people had sinned against the Lord, eating with blood. And he said: “You have transgressed. Roll a great stone to me, here and now.”
34 Και ειπεν ο Σαουλ, Διασπαρθητε μεταξυ του λαου και ειπατε προς αυτους, Φερετε μοι ενταυθα εκαστος τον βουν αυτου και εκαστος το προβατον αυτου, και σφαξατε ενταυθα και φαγετε? και μη αμαρτανετε εις τον Κυριον, τρωγοντες μετα του αιματος. Και εφεραν πας ο λαος εκαστος τον βουν αυτου μεθ' εαυτου εκεινην την νυκτα και εσφαξαν εκει.	34 And Saul said: “Disperse yourselves among the common people, and tell each one of them to bring to me his ox and his ram, and to slay them upon this stone, and to eat, so that you will not sin against the Lord, in eating with blood.” And so, each one, out of all the people, brought his ox, by his own hand, throughout the night. And they slew them there.
35 Και ωκοδομησεν ο Σαουλ θυσιαστηριον εις τον Κυριον? τουτο ητο το πρωτον θυσιαστηριον, το οποιον ωκοδομησεν ο Σαουλ εις τον Κυριον.	35 Then Saul built an altar to the Lord. And so, it was then that he first began to build an altar to the Lord.
36 Και ειπεν ο Σαουλ, Ας καταβωμεν εξοπισω των Φιλισταιων δια νυκτος, και ας διαρπασωμεν αυτους εως να φεγξη η ημερα, και ας μη αφησωμεν μηδε ενα εξ αυτων. Και ειπον, Καμε παν ο, τι σοι φαινεται καλον. Τοτε ειπεν ο ιερευς, Ας προσελθωμεν ενταυθα εις τον Θεον.	36 And Saul said: “Let us fall upon the Philistines by night, and lay waste to them even until the morning light. And let us not leave behind a man among them.” And the people said, “Do all that seems good in your eyes.” And the priest said, “Let us draw near to God in this place.”
37 Και ηρωτησεν ο Σαουλ τον Θεον, Να καταβω εξοπισω των Φιλισταιων; θελεις παραδωσει αυτους εις την χειρα του Ισραηλ; Αλλα δεν απεκριθη προς αυτον την ημεραν εκεινην.	37 And Saul consulted the Lord: “Shall I pursue the Philistines? Will you deliver them into the hands of Israel?” And he did not respond to him on that day.
38 Και ειπεν ο Σαουλ, Πλησιασατε ενταυθα παντες οι αρχηγοι του λαου? και μαθετε και ιδετε, εις ποιον εσταθη η αμαρτια αυτη σημερον?	38 And Saul said: “Bring here every single leader of the people. And we shall know and see by whom this sin was committed this day.
39 διοτι ζη Κυριος, ο σωσας τον Ισραηλ, οτι και εις τον Ιωναθαν τον υιον μου αν εσταθη, θελει βεβαιως θανατωθη. Και δεν ευρεθη ουδεις μεταξυ παντος του λαου, οστις απεκριθη προς αυτον.	39 As the Lord lives, who is the Saviour of Israel, even if it were done by my son Jonathan, without retraction he shall die.” In this, no one among all the people contradicted him.
40 Και ειπε προς παντα τον Ισραηλ, Σταθητε σεις εκ του ενος μερους, εγω δε και Ιωναθαν ο υιος μου θελομεν σταθη εκ του αλλου μερους. Και ειπεν ο λαος προς τον Σαουλ, Καμε παν ο, τι σοι φαινεται καλον.	40 And he said to all of Israel, “Separate yourselves on one side, and I, with my son Jonathan, will be on the other side.” And the people responded to Saul, “Do what seems good in your eyes.”
41 Τοτε ειπεν ο Σαουλ προς τον Κυριον τον Θεον του Ισραηλ, Δειξον τον αθωον. Και επιασθη ο Ιωναθαν και ο Σαουλ? ο δε λαος απελυθη.	41 And Saul said to the Lord, the God of Israel: “O Lord, God of Israel, grant a sign: Why is it that you will not respond to your servant this day? If this iniquity is in me, or in my son Jonathan, grant an indication. Or if this iniquity is in your people, grant a sanctification.” And Jonathan and Saul were discovered, but the people were released.
42 Και ειπεν ο Σαουλ, Ριψατε κληρους μεταξυ εμου και Ιωναθαν του υιου μου. Και επιασθη ο Ιωναθαν.	42 And Saul said, “Cast lots between myself and Jonathan, my son.” And Jonathan was caught.
43 Τοτε ειπεν ο Σαουλ προς τον Ιωναθαν, Φανερωσον μοι τι επραξας. Και εφανερωσε προς αυτον ο Ιωναθαν, και ειπε, Τωοντι εγευθην ολιγον μελι δια του ακρου της ραβδου της εν τη χειρι μου? ιδου, εγω, αποθνησκω.	43 Then Saul said to Jonathan, “Tell me what you have done.” And Jonathan revealed to him, and said: “Truly, I tasted a little honey with the top of the staff that was in my hand. And behold, I shall die.”
44 Και απεκριθη ο Σαουλ, Ουτω να καμη ο Θεος και ουτω να προσθεση? βεβαιως θελεις αποθανει, Ιωναθαν.	44 And Saul said, “May God do these things to me, and may he add these other things, for you shall surely die, Jonathan!”
45 Ο δε λαος ειπε προς τον Σαουλ, Ο Ιωναθαν θελει αποθανει, οστις εκαμε την μεγαλην ταυτην σωτηριαν εις τον Ισραηλ; Μη γενοιτο? Ζη Κυριος, ουδε μια θριξ εκ της κεφαλης αυτου θελει πεσει εις την γην? διοτι ενηργησε μετα του Θεου την ημεραν ταυτην. Και ελυτρωσεν ο λαος τον Ιωναθαν, και δεν απεθανε.	45 And the people said to Saul: “Why should Jonathan have to die, who has accomplished this great salvation in Israel? This is wrong. As the Lord lives, not one hair of his head should fall to the ground. For he has wrought with God this day.” Therefore, the people freed Jonathan, so that he would not die.
46 Τοτε ανεβη ο Σαουλ εκ της καταδιωξεως των Φιλισταιων? και οι Φιλισταιοι υπηγαν εις τον τοπον αυτων.	46 And Saul withdrew, and he did not pursue the Philistines. And the Philistines went away to their own places.
47 Και ελαβεν ο Σαουλ την βασιλειαν επι τον Ισραηλ, και επολεμησεν εναντιον παντων των εχθρων αυτου κυκλω? εναντιον του Μωαβ και εναντιον των υιων του Αμμων και εναντιον του Εδωμ και εναντιον των βασιλεων της Σωβα και εναντιον των Φιλισταιων? και εναντιον παντων οπου και αν εστρεφετο, κατετροπονε.	47 And Saul, his kingdom having been confirmed over Israel, was fighting against all his enemies on all sides: against Moab, and the sons of Ammon, and Edom, and the kings of Zobah, and the Philistines. And wherever he turned himself, he was successful.
48 Συνεκροτησεν ετι δυναμιν και επαταξε τον Αμαληκ, και ηλευθερωσε τον Ισραηλ εκ χειρος των διαρπαζοντων αυτους.	48 And gathering together an army, he struck Amalek. And he rescued Israel from the hand of those who would lay waste to them.
49 Οι δε υιοι του Σαουλ ησαν Ιωναθαν και Ισονει και Μελχι-σουε? και τα ονοματα των δυο θυγατερων αυτου, το ονομα της πρωτοτοκου Μεραβ, και το ονομα της νεωτερας Μιχαλ?	49 Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishvi, and Malchishua. And as for the names of his two daughters: the name of the firstborn daughter was Merab, and the name of the younger one was Michal.
50 το δε ονομα της γυναικος του Σαουλ ητο Αχινοαμ, θυγατηρ του Αχιμαας. Και το ονομα του αρχιστρατηγου αυτου Αβενηρ, υιος του Νηρ, θειου του Σαουλ.	50 And the name of the wife of Saul was Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz. And the name of the first ruler of his military was Abner, the son of Ner, the first cousin of Saul.
51 Ο δε Κεις ο πατηρ του Σαουλ, και ο Νηρ ο πατηρ του Αβενηρ, ησαν υιοι του Αβιηλ.	51 For Kish was the father of Saul, and Ner was the father of Abner, and the son of Abiel.
52 Ητο δε πολεμος δυνατος εναντιον των Φιλισταιων κατα πασας τας ημερας του Σαουλ? και οποτε εβλεπεν ο Σαουλ ανδρα τινα δυνατον η ανδρειον, παρελαμβανεν αυτον πλησιον εαυτου.	52 Now there was a powerful war against the Philistines during all the days of Saul. And so, whomever Saul had seen to be a strong man, and fit for battle, he joined him to himself.
