ΒΑΣΙΛΕΙΩΝ Α´ - 1 Samuele - Kings I 31

LXX	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 και οι αλλοφυλοι επολεμουν επι ισραηλ και εφυγον οι ανδρες ισραηλ εκ προσωπου των αλλοφυλων και πιπτουσιν τραυματιαι εν τω ορει τω γελβουε	1 As they pressed their attack on Israel, with the Israelites fleeing before them and falling mortally wounded on Mount Gilboa,
2 και συναπτουσιν αλλοφυλοι τω σαουλ και τοις υιοις αυτου και τυπτουσιν αλλοφυλοι τον ιωναθαν και τον αμιναδαβ και τον μελχισα υιους σαουλ	2 the Philistines pursued Saul and his sons closely, and slew Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua, sons of Saul.
3 και βαρυνεται ο πολεμος επι σαουλ και ευρισκουσιν αυτον οι ακοντισται ανδρες τοξοται και ετραυματισθη εις τα υποχονδρια	3 The battle raged around Saul, and the archers hit him; he was pierced through the abdomen.
4 και ειπεν σαουλ προς τον αιροντα τα σκευη αυτου σπασαι την ρομφαιαν σου και αποκεντησον με εν αυτη μη ελθωσιν οι απεριτμητοι ουτοι και αποκεντησωσιν με και εμπαιξωσιν μοι και ουκ εβουλετο ο αιρων τα σκευη αυτου οτι εφοβηθη σφοδρα και ελαβεν σαουλ την ρομφαιαν και επεπεσεν επ' αυτην	4 Then Saul said to his armor-bearer, "Draw your sword and run me through, lest these uncircumcised come and make sport of me." But his armor-bearer, badly frightened, refused to do it. So Saul took his own sword and fell upon it.
5 και ειδεν ο αιρων τα σκευη αυτου οτι τεθνηκεν σαουλ και επεπεσεν και αυτος επι την ρομφαιαν αυτου και απεθανεν μετ' αυτου	5 When the armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he too fell upon his sword and died with him.
6 και απεθανεν σαουλ και οι τρεις υιοι αυτου και ο αιρων τα σκευη αυτου εν τη ημερα εκεινη κατα το αυτο	6 Thus Saul, his three sons, and his armor-bearer died together on that same day.
7 και ειδον οι ανδρες ισραηλ οι εν τω περαν της κοιλαδος και οι εν τω περαν του ιορδανου οτι εφυγον οι ανδρες ισραηλ και οτι τεθνηκεν σαουλ και οι υιοι αυτου και καταλειπουσιν τας πολεις αυτων και φευγουσιν και ερχονται οι αλλοφυλοι και κατοικουσιν εν αυταις	7 When the Israelites on the slope of the valley and those along the Jordan saw that the men of Israel had fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they too abandoned their cities and fled. Then the Philistines came and lived in those cities.
8 και εγενηθη τη επαυριον και ερχονται οι αλλοφυλοι εκδιδυσκειν τους νεκρους και ευρισκουσιν τον σαουλ και τους τρεις υιους αυτου πεπτωκοτας επι τα ορη γελβουε	8 The day after the battle the Philistines came to strip the slain, and found Saul and his three sons lying on Mount Gilboa.
9 και αποστρεφουσιν αυτον και εξεδυσαν τα σκευη αυτου και αποστελλουσιν αυτα εις γην αλλοφυλων κυκλω ευαγγελιζοντες τοις ειδωλοις αυτων και τω λαω αυτων	9 They cut off Saul's head and stripped him of his armor, and then sent the good news throughout the land of the Philistines to their idols and to the people.
10 και ανεθηκαν τα σκευη αυτου εις το ασταρτειον και το σωμα αυτου κατεπηξαν εν τω τειχει βαιθσαν	10 They put his armor in the temple of Astarte, but impaled his body on the wall of Bethshan.
11 και ακουουσιν οι κατοικουντες ιαβις της γαλααδιτιδος α εποιησαν οι αλλοφυλοι τω σαουλ	11 When the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul,
12 και ανεστησαν πας ανηρ δυναμεως και επορευθησαν ολην την νυκτα και ελαβον το σωμα σαουλ και το σωμα ιωναθαν του υιου αυτου απο τειχους βαιθσαν και φερουσιν αυτους εις ιαβις και κατακαιουσιν αυτους εκει	12 all their warriors set out, and after marching throughout the night, removed the bodies of Saul and his sons from the wall of Beth-shan, and brought them to Jabesh, where they cremated them.
13 και λαμβανουσιν τα οστα αυτων και θαπτουσιν υπο την αρουραν την ιαβις και νηστευουσιν επτα ημερας .	13 Then they took their bones and buried them under the tamarisk tree in Jabesh, and fasted for seven days.
