1 Samuel 10

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	LXX
1 Then, from a flask he had with him, Samuel poured oil on Saul's head; he also kissed him, saying: "The LORD anoints you commander over his heritage. You are to govern the LORD'S people Israel, and to save them from the grasp of their enemies round about. "This will be the sign for you that the LORD has anointed you commander over his heritage:	1 και ελαβεν σαμουηλ τον φακον του ελαιου και επεχεεν επι την κεφαλην αυτου και εφιλησεν αυτον και ειπεν αυτω ουχι κεχρικεν σε κυριος εις αρχοντα επι τον λαον αυτου επι ισραηλ και συ αρξεις εν λαω κυριου και συ σωσεις αυτον εκ χειρος εχθρων αυτου κυκλοθεν και τουτο σοι το σημειον οτι εχρισεν σε κυριος επι κληρονομιαν αυτου εις αρχοντα
2 When you leave me today, you will meet two men near Rachel's tomb at Zelzah in the territory of Benjamin, who will say to you, 'The asses you went to look for have been found. Your father is no longer worried about the asses, but is anxious about you and says, What shall I do about my son?'	2 ως αν απελθης σημερον απ' εμου και ευρησεις δυο ανδρας προς τοις ταφοις ραχηλ εν τω οριω βενιαμιν αλλομενους μεγαλα και ερουσιν σοι ευρηνται αι ονοι ας επορευθητε ζητειν και ιδου ο πατηρ σου αποτετινακται το ρημα των ονων και εδαψιλευσατο δι' υμας λεγων τι ποιησω υπερ του υιου μου
3 Farther on, when you arrive at the terebinth of Tabor, you will be met by three men going up to God at Bethel; one will be bringing three kids, another three loaves of bread, and the third a skin of wine.	3 και απελευσει εκειθεν και επεκεινα ηξεις εως της δρυος θαβωρ και ευρησεις εκει τρεις ανδρας αναβαινοντας προς τον θεον εις βαιθηλ ενα αιροντα τρια αιγιδια και ενα αιροντα τρια αγγεια αρτων και ενα αιροντα ασκον οινου
4 They will greet you and offer you two wave offerings of bread, which you will take from them.	4 και ερωτησουσιν σε τα εις ειρηνην και δωσουσιν σοι δυο απαρχας αρτων και λημψη εκ της χειρος αυτων
5 After that you will come to Gibeath-elohim, where there is a garrison of the Philistines. As you enter that city, you will meet a band of prophets, in a prophetic state, coming down from the high place preceded by lyres, tambourines, flutes and harps.	5 και μετα ταυτα εισελευση εις τον βουνον του θεου ου εστιν εκει το αναστημα των αλλοφυλων εκει νασιβ ο αλλοφυλος και εσται ως αν εισελθητε εκει εις την πολιν και απαντησεις χορω προφητων καταβαινοντων εκ της βαμα και εμπροσθεν αυτων ναβλα και τυμπανον και αυλος και κινυρα και αυτοι προφητευοντες
6 The spirit of the LORD will rush upon you, and you will join them in their prophetic state and will be changed into another man.	6 και εφαλειται επι σε πνευμα κυριου και προφητευσεις μετ' αυτων και στραφηση εις ανδρα αλλον
7 When you see these signs fulfilled, do whatever you judge feasible, because God is with you.	7 και εσται οταν ηξει τα σημεια ταυτα επι σε ποιει παντα οσα εαν ευρη η χειρ σου οτι θεος μετα σου
8 Now go down ahead of me to Gilgal, for I shall come down to you, to offer holocausts and to sacrifice peace offerings. Wait seven days until I come to you; I shall then tell you what you must do."	8 και καταβηση εμπροσθεν της γαλγαλα και ιδου καταβαινω προς σε ανενεγκειν ολοκαυτωσιν και θυσιας ειρηνικας επτα ημερας διαλειψεις εως του ελθειν με προς σε και γνωρισω σοι α ποιησεις
9 As Saul turned to leave Samuel, God gave him another heart. That very day all these signs came to pass. . . .	9 και εγενηθη ωστε επιστραφηναι τω ωμω αυτου απελθειν απο σαμουηλ μετεστρεψεν αυτω ο θεος καρδιαν αλλην και ηλθεν παντα τα σημεια εν τη ημερα εκεινη
10 When they were going from there to Gibeah, a band of prophets met him, and the spirit of God rushed upon him, so that he joined them in their prophetic state.	10 και ερχεται εκειθεν εις τον βουνον και ιδου χορος προφητων εξ εναντιας αυτου και ηλατο επ' αυτον πνευμα θεου και επροφητευσεν εν μεσω αυτων
11 When all who had known him previously saw him in a prophetic state among the prophets, they said to one another, "What has happened to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?"	11 και εγενηθησαν παντες οι ειδοτες αυτον εχθες και τριτην και ειδον και ιδου αυτος εν μεσω των προφητων και ειπεν ο λαος εκαστος προς τον πλησιον αυτου τι τουτο το γεγονος τω υιω κις η και σαουλ εν προφηταις
12 And someone from that district added, "And who is their father?" Thus the proverb arose, "Is Saul also among the prophets?"	12 και απεκριθη τις αυτων και ειπεν και τις πατηρ αυτου δια τουτο εγενηθη εις παραβολην η και σαουλ εν προφηταις
13 When he came out of the prophetic state, he went home.	13 και συνετελεσεν προφητευων και ερχεται εις τον βουνον
14 Saul's uncle inquired of him and his servant, "Where have you been?" Saul replied, "To look for the asses. When we could not find them, we went to Samuel."	14 και ειπεν ο οικειος αυτου προς αυτον και προς το παιδαριον αυτου που επορευθητε και ειπαν ζητειν τας ονους και ειδαμεν οτι ουκ εισιν και εισηλθομεν προς σαμουηλ
15 Then Saul's uncle said, "Tell me, then, what Samuel said to you."	15 και ειπεν ο οικειος προς σαουλ απαγγειλον δη μοι τι ειπεν σοι σαμουηλ
16 Saul said to his uncle, "He assured us that the asses had been found." But he mentioned nothing to him of what Samuel had said about the kingship.	16 και ειπεν σαουλ προς τον οικειον αυτου απηγγειλεν απαγγελλων μοι οτι ευρηνται αι ονοι το δε ρημα της βασιλειας ουκ απηγγειλεν αυτω
17 Samuel called the people together to the LORD at Mizpah	17 και παρηγγειλεν σαμουηλ παντι τω λαω προς κυριον εις μασσηφα
18 and addressed the Israelites: "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, 'It was I who brought Israel up from Egypt and delivered you from the power of the Egyptians and from the power of all the kingdoms that oppressed you.'	18 και ειπεν προς υιους ισραηλ ταδε ειπεν κυριος ο θεος ισραηλ λεγων εγω ανηγαγον τους υιους ισραηλ εξ αιγυπτου και εξειλαμην υμας εκ χειρος φαραω βασιλεως αιγυπτου και εκ πασων των βασιλειων των θλιβουσων υμας
19 But today you have rejected your God, who delivers you from all your evils and calamities, by saying to him, 'Not so, but you must appoint a king over us.' Now, therefore, take your stand before the LORD according to tribes and families."	19 και υμεις σημερον εξουθενηκατε τον θεον ος αυτος εστιν υμων σωτηρ εκ παντων των κακων υμων και θλιψεων υμων και ειπατε ουχι αλλ' η οτι βασιλεα στησεις εφ' ημων και νυν καταστητε ενωπιον κυριου κατα τα σκηπτρα υμων και κατα τας φυλας υμων
20 So Samuel had all the tribes of Israel come forward, and the tribe of Benjamin was chosen.	20 και προσηγαγεν σαμουηλ παντα τα σκηπτρα ισραηλ και κατακληρουται σκηπτρον βενιαμιν
21 Next he had the tribe of Benjamin come forward in clans, and the clan of Matri was chosen, and finally Saul, son of Kish, was chosen. But they looked for him in vain.	21 και προσαγει σκηπτρον βενιαμιν εις φυλας και κατακληρουται φυλη ματταρι και προσαγουσιν την φυλην ματταρι εις ανδρας και κατακληρουται σαουλ υιος κις και εζητει αυτον και ουχ ευρισκετο
22 Again they consulted the LORD, "Has he come here?" The LORD answered, "He is hiding among the baggage."	22 και επηρωτησεν σαμουηλ ετι εν κυριω ει ερχεται ο ανηρ ενταυθα και ειπεν κυριος ιδου αυτος κεκρυπται εν τοις σκευεσιν
23 They ran to bring him from there; and when he stood among the people, he was head and shoulders above all the crowd.	23 και εδραμεν και λαμβανει αυτον εκειθεν και κατεστησεν εν μεσω του λαου και υψωθη υπερ παντα τον λαον υπερ ωμιαν και επανω
24 Samuel said to all the people, "Do you see the man whom the LORD has chosen? There is none like him among all the people!" Then all the people shouted, "Long live the king!"	24 και ειπεν σαμουηλ προς παντα τον λαον ει εορακατε ον εκλελεκται εαυτω κυριος οτι ουκ εστιν αυτω ομοιος εν πασιν υμιν και εγνωσαν πας ο λαος και ειπαν ζητω ο βασιλευς
25 Samuel next explained to the people the law of royalty and wrote it in a book, which he placed in the presence of the LORD. This done, Samuel dismissed the people, each to his own place.	25 και ειπεν σαμουηλ προς τον λαον το δικαιωμα του βασιλεως και εγραψεν εν βιβλιω και εθηκεν ενωπιον κυριου και εξαπεστειλεν σαμουηλ παντα τον λαον και απηλθεν εκαστος εις τον τοπον αυτου
26 Saul also went home to Gibeah, accompanied by warriors whose hearts the LORD had touched.	26 και σαουλ απηλθεν εις τον οικον αυτου εις γαβαα και επορευθησαν υιοι δυναμεων ων ηψατο κυριος καρδιας αυτων μετα σαουλ
27 But certain worthless men said, "How can this fellow save us?" They despised him and brought him no present.	27 και υιοι λοιμοι ειπαν τι σωσει ημας ουτος και ητιμασαν αυτον και ουκ ηνεγκαν αυτω δωρα
