| 1 Και ειπεν ο Σαμουηλ προς παντα τον Ισραηλ, Ιδου, υπηκουσα εις την φωνην σας κατα παντα οσα ειπετε προς εμε, και κατεστησα βασιλεα εφ' υμας? | 1 And Samuel said to all Israel, "Behold, I have hearkened to your voice in all that you have said to me, and have made a king over you. |
| 2 και τωρα, ιδου, ο βασιλευς πορευεται εμπροσθεν σας? εγω δε ειμαι γερων και πολιος? και οι υιοι μου, ιδου, ειναι μεθ' υμων? και εγω περιεπατησα ενωπιον σας εκ νεοτητος μου εως της ημερας ταυτης? | 2 And now, behold, the king walks before you; and I am old and gray, and behold, my sons are with you; and I have walked before you from my youth until this day. |
| 3 ιδου, εγω? μαρτυρησατε κατ' εμου ενωπιον του Κυριου και ενωπιον του κεχρισμενου αυτου? τινος τον βουν ελαβον; η τινος τον ονον ελαβον; η τινα ηδικησα; τινα κατεδυναστευσα; η εκ χειρος τινος ελαβον δωρα, δια να τυφλωσω τους οφθαλμους μου δια τουτων; και θελω αποδωσει εις εσας. | 3 Here I am; testify against me before the LORD and before his anointed. Whose ox have I taken? Or whose ass have I taken? Or whom have I defrauded? Whom have I oppressed? Or from whose hand have I taken a bribe to blind my eyes with it? Testify against me and I will restore it to you." |
| 4 Οι δε ειπον, Δεν ηδικησας ημας ουδε κατεδυναστευσας ημας ουδε ελαβες τι εκ της χειρος τινος. | 4 They said, "You have not defrauded us or oppressed us or taken anything from any man's hand." |
| 5 Και ειπε προς αυτους, Μαρτυς ο Κυριος εις εσας, μαρτυς και ο κεχρισμενος αυτου την ημεραν ταυτην, οτι δεν ευρηκατε εις την χειρα μου ουδεν. Και απεκριβησαν, Μαρτυς. | 5 And he said to them, "The LORD is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that you have not found anything in my hand." And they said, "He is witness." |
| 6 Και ειπεν ο Σαμουηλ προς τον λαον, Μαρτυς ο Κυριος ο καταστησας τον Μωυσην και τον Ααρων, και αναβιβασας τους πατερας σας εκ γης Αιγυπτου. | 6 And Samuel said to the people, "The LORD is witness, who appointed Moses and Aaron and brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt. |
| 7 Τωρα λοιπον σταθητε, δια να διαλεχθω με σας ενωπιον του Κυριου, δια πασας τας δικαιοσυνας του Κυριου, τας οποιας εκαμεν εις εσας και εις τους πατερας σας. | 7 Now therefore stand still, that I may plead with you before the LORD concerning all the saving deeds of the LORD which he performed for you and for your fathers. |
| 8 Αφου ο Ιακωβ ηλθεν εις την Αιγυπτον, και οι πατερες σας εβοησαν προς τον Κυριον, τοτε απεστειλεν ο Κυριος τον Μωυσην και τον Ααρων, και εξηγαγον τους πατερας σας εξ Αιγυπτου και κατωκισαν αυτους εν τω τοπω τουτω. | 8 When Jacob went into Egypt and the Egyptians oppressed them, then your fathers cried to the LORD and the LORD sent Moses and Aaron, who brought forth your fathers out of Egypt, and made them dwell in this place. |
| 9 Ελησμονησαν ομως Κυριον τον Θεον αυτων? οθεν παρεδωκεν αυτους εις την χειρα του Σισαρα, αρχηγου του στρατευματος του Ασωρ, και εις την χειρα των Φιλισταιων και εις την χειρα του βασιλεως Μωαβ, και επολεμησαν εναντιον αυτων. | 9 But they forgot the LORD their God; and he sold them into the hand of Sisera, commander of the army of Jabin king of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab; and they fought against them. |
| 10 Και εβοησαν προς τον Κυριον και ειπον, Ημαρτησαμεν, επειδη εγκατελιπομεν τον Κυριον και ελατρευσαμεν τους Βααλειμ και τας Ασταρωθ? αλλα τωρα ελευθερωσον ημας εκ της χειρος των εχθρων ημων, και θελομεν λατρευσει σε. | 10 And they cried to the LORD, and said, We have sinned, because we have forsaken the LORD, and have served the Baals and the Ashtaroth; but now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve thee.' |
| 11 Και απεστειλεν ο Κυριος τον Ιεροβααλ και τον Βεδαν και τον Ιεφθαε και τον Σαμουηλ, και σας ηλευθερωσεν εκ της χειρος των εχθρων σας πανταχοθεν, και κατωκησατε εν ασφαλεια. | 11 And the LORD sent Jerubbaal and Barak, and Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side; and you dwelt in safety. |
| 12 Αλλ' οτε ειδετε οτι Ναας ο βασιλευς των υιων Αμμων ηλθεν εναντιον σας, ειπετε προς εμε, Ουχι, αλλα βασιλευς θελει βασιλευει εφ' ημας? ενω Κυριος ο Θεος σας ητο ο βασιλευς σας. | 12 And when you saw that Nahash the king of the Ammonites came against you, you said to me, No, but a king shall reign over us,' when the LORD your God was your king. |
| 13 Τωρα λοιπον, ιδου, ο βασιλευς, τον οποιον εξελεξατε, τον οποιον εζητησατε? και ιδου, ο Κυριος κατεστησε βασιλεα εφ' υμας. | 13 And now behold the king whom you have chosen, for whom you have asked; behold, the LORD has set a king over you. |
| 14 Εαν φοβησθε τον Κυριον και λατρευητε αυτον και υπακουητε εις την φωνην αυτου και δεν στασιαζητε εναντιον της προσταγης του Κυριου, τοτε και σεις και ο βασιλευς ο βασιλευων εφ' υμας θελετε περιπατει κατοπιν Κυριου του Θεου σας? | 14 If you will fear the LORD and serve him and hearken to his voice and not rebel against the commandment of the LORD, and if both you and the king who reigns over you will follow the LORD your God, it will be well; |
| 15 εαν ομως δεν υπακουητε εις την φωνην του Κυριου, αλλα στασιαζητε εναντιον της προσταγης του Κυριου, τοτε η χειρ του Κυριου θελει εισθαι εναντιον σας, καθως εσταθη εναντιον των πατερων σας. | 15 but if you will not hearken to the voice of the LORD, but rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then the hand of the LORD will be against you and your king. |
| 16 Τωρα λοιπον παρασταθητε και ιδετε το μεγα τουτο πραγμα, το οποιον ο Κυριος θελει καμει εμπροσθεν των οφθαλμων σας? | 16 Now therefore stand still and see this great thing, which the LORD will do before your eyes. |
| 17 δεν ειναι θερισμος των σιτων σημερον; θελω επικαλεσθη τον Κυριον, και θελει πεμψει βροντας και βροχην? δια να γνωρισητε και να ιδητε οτι το κακον σας ειναι μεγα, το οποιον επραξατε ενωπιον του Κυριου, ζητησαντες εις εαυτους βασιλεα. | 17 Is it not wheat harvest today? I will call upon the LORD, that he may send thunder and rain; and you shall know and see that your wickedness is great, which you have done in the sight of the LORD, in asking for yourselves a king." |
| 18 Τοτε επεκαλεσθη ο Σαμουηλ τον Κυριον? και επεμψεν ο Κυριος βροντας και βροχην την ημεραν εκεινην? και πας ο λαος εφοβηθη σφοδρα τον Κυριον και τον Σαμουηλ. | 18 So Samuel called upon the LORD, and the LORD sent thunder and rain that day; and all the people greatly feared the LORD and Samuel. |
| 19 Και ειπε πας ο λαος προς τον Σαμουηλ, Δεηθητι υπερ των δουλων σου προς Κυριον τον Θεον σου, δια να μη αποθανωμεν? διοτι επροσθεσαμεν εις πασας τας αμαρτιας ημων το κακον, να ζητησωμεν εις εαυτους βασιλεα. | 19 And all the people said to Samuel, "Pray for your servants to the LORD your God, that we may not die; for we have added to all our sins this evil, to ask for ourselves a king." |
| 20 Και ειπεν ο Σαμουηλ προς τον λαον, Μη φοβεισθε? σεις επραξατε ολον τουτο το κακον? πλην μη παραδρομησητε απο οπισθεν του Κυριου, αλλα λατρευετε τον Κυριον εξ ολης της καρδιας σας? | 20 And Samuel said to the people, "Fear not; you have done all this evil, yet do not turn aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart; |
| 21 και μη παραδρομησητε? διοτι τοτε ηθελετε υπαγει κατοπιν των ματαιων, τα οποια δεν δυνανται να ωφελησωσιν ουδε να ελευθερωσωσιν, επειδη ειναι ματαια? | 21 and do not turn aside after vain things which cannot profit or save, for they are vain. |
| 22 διοτι δεν θελει εγκαταλειψει ο Κυριος τον λαον αυτου, δια το ονομα αυτου το μεγα, επειδη ηυδοκησεν ο Κυριος να σας καμη λαον αυτου? | 22 For the LORD will not cast away his people, for his great name's sake, because it has pleased the LORD to make you a people for himself. |
| 23 εις εμε δε μη γενοιτο να αμαρτησω εις τον Κυριον, ωστε να παυσω απο του να δεωμαι υπερ υμων? αλλα θελω σας διδασκει την οδον την αγαθην και ευθειαν? | 23 Moreover as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD by ceasing to pray for you; and I will instruct you in the good and the right way. |
| 24 μονον φοβεισθε τον Κυριον και λατρευετε αυτον εν αληθεια εξ ολης καρδιας σας? διοτι ειδετε ποσα μεγαλεια εκαμεν υπερ υμων? | 24 Only fear the LORD, and serve him faithfully with all your heart; for consider what great things he has done for you. |
| 25 αλλ' εαν εξακολουθητε να πραττητε το κακον, και σεις και ο βασιλευς υμων θελετε απολεσθη. | 25 But if you still do wickedly, you shall be swept away, both you and your king." |
