| 1 και απηγγελη τω δαυιδ λεγοντες ιδου οι αλλοφυλοι πολεμουσιν εν τη κειλα και αυτοι διαρπαζουσιν καταπατουσιν τους αλω | 1 Now they told David, "Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and are robbing the threshing floors." |
| 2 και επηρωτησεν δαυιδ δια του κυριου λεγων ει πορευθω και παταξω τους αλλοφυλους τουτους και ειπεν κυριος πορευου και παταξεις εν τοις αλλοφυλοις τουτοις και σωσεις την κειλα | 2 Therefore David inquired of the LORD, "Shall I go and attack these Philistines?" And the LORD said to David, "Go and attack the Philistines and save Keilah." |
| 3 και ειπαν οι ανδρες του δαυιδ προς αυτον ιδου ημεις ενταυθα εν τη ιουδαια φοβουμεθα και πως εσται εαν πορευθωμεν εις κειλα εις τα σκυλα των αλλοφυλων εισπορευσομεθα | 3 But David's men said to him, "Behold, we are afraid here in Judah; how much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?" |
| 4 και προσεθετο δαυιδ ερωτησαι ετι δια του κυριου και απεκριθη αυτω κυριος και ειπεν προς αυτον αναστηθι και καταβηθι εις κειλα οτι εγω παραδιδωμι τους αλλοφυλους εις χειρας σου | 4 Then David inquired of the LORD again. And the LORD answered him, "Arise, go down to Keilah; for I will give the Philistines into your hand." |
| 5 και επορευθη δαυιδ και οι ανδρες οι μετ' αυτου εις κειλα και επολεμησεν εν τοις αλλοφυλοις και εφυγον εκ προσωπου αυτου και απηγαγεν τα κτηνη αυτων και επαταξεν εν αυτοις πληγην μεγαλην και εσωσεν δαυιδ τους κατοικουντας κειλα | 5 And David and his men went to Keilah, and fought with the Philistines, and brought away their cattle, and made a great slaughter among them. So David delivered the inhabitants of Keilah. |
| 6 και εγενετο εν τω φυγειν αβιαθαρ υιον αβιμελεχ προς δαυιδ και αυτος μετα δαυιδ εις κειλα κατεβη εχων εφουδ εν τη χειρι αυτου | 6 When Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David to Keilah, he came down with an ephod in his hand. |
| 7 και απηγγελη τω σαουλ οτι ηκει δαυιδ εις κειλα και ειπεν σαουλ πεπρακεν αυτον ο θεος εις χειρας μου οτι αποκεκλεισται εισελθων εις πολιν θυρων και μοχλων | 7 Now it was told Saul that David had come to Keilah. And Saul said, "God has given him into my hand; for he has shut himself in by entering a town that has gates and bars." |
| 8 και παρηγγειλεν σαουλ παντι τω λαω εις πολεμον καταβαινειν εις κειλα συνεχειν τον δαυιδ και τους ανδρας αυτου | 8 And Saul summoned all the people to war, to go down to Keilah, to besiege David and his men. |
| 9 και εγνω δαυιδ οτι ου παρασιωπα σαουλ περι αυτου την κακιαν και ειπεν δαυιδ προς αβιαθαρ τον ιερεα προσαγαγε το εφουδ κυριου | 9 David knew that Saul was plotting evil against him; and he said to Abiathar the priest, "Bring the ephod here." |
| 10 και ειπεν δαυιδ κυριε ο θεος ισραηλ ακουων ακηκοεν ο δουλος σου οτι ζητει σαουλ ελθειν επι κειλα διαφθειραι την πολιν δι' εμε | 10 Then said David, "O LORD, the God of Israel, thy servant has surely heard that Saul seeks to come to Keilah, to destroy the city on my account. |
| 11 ει αποκλεισθησεται και νυν ει καταβησεται σαουλ καθως ηκουσεν ο δουλος σου κυριε ο θεος ισραηλ απαγγειλον τω δουλω σου και ειπεν κυριος αποκλεισθησεται | 11 Will the men of Keilah surrender me into his hand? Will Saul come down, as thy servant has heard? O LORD, the God of Israel, I beseech thee, tell thy servant." And the LORD said, "He will come down." |
| 12 - | 12 Then said David, "Will the men of Keilah surrender me and my men into the hand of Saul?" And the LORD said, "They will surrender you." |
| 13 και ανεστη δαυιδ και οι ανδρες οι μετ' αυτου ως τετρακοσιοι και εξηλθον εκ κειλα και επορευοντο ου εαν επορευθησαν και τω σαουλ απηγγελη οτι διασεσωται δαυιδ εκ κειλα και ανηκεν του εξελθειν | 13 Then David and his men, who were about six hundred, arose and departed from Keilah, and they went wherever they could go. When Saul was told that David had escaped from Keilah, he gave up the expedition. |
| 14 και εκαθισεν δαυιδ εν τη ερημω εν μασερεμ εν τοις στενοις και εκαθητο εν τη ερημω εν τω ορει ζιφ εν τη γη τη αυχμωδει και εζητει αυτον σαουλ πασας τας ημερας και ου παρεδωκεν αυτον κυριος εις τας χειρας αυτου | 14 And David remained in the strongholds in the wilderness, in the hill country of the Wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, but God did not give him into his hand. |
| 15 και ειδεν δαυιδ οτι εξερχεται σαουλ του ζητειν τον δαυιδ και δαυιδ εν τω ορει τω αυχμωδει εν τη καινη ζιφ | 15 And David was afraid because Saul had come out to seek his life. David was in the Wilderness of Ziph at Horesh. |
| 16 και ανεστη ιωναθαν υιος σαουλ και επορευθη προς δαυιδ εις καινην και εκραταιωσεν τας χειρας αυτου εν κυριω | 16 And Jonathan, Saul's son, rose, and went to David at Horesh, and strengthened his hand in God. |
| 17 και ειπεν προς αυτον μη φοβου οτι ου μη ευρη σε η χειρ σαουλ του πατρος μου και συ βασιλευσεις επι ισραηλ και εγω εσομαι σοι εις δευτερον και σαουλ ο πατηρ μου οιδεν ουτως | 17 And he said to him, "Fear not; for the hand of Saul my father shall not find you; you shall be king over Israel, and I shall be next to you; Saul my father also knows this." |
| 18 και διεθεντο αμφοτεροι διαθηκην ενωπιον κυριου και εκαθητο δαυιδ εν καινη και ιωναθαν απηλθεν εις οικον αυτου | 18 And the two of them made a covenant before the LORD; David remained at Horesh, and Jonathan went home. |
| 19 και ανεβησαν οι ζιφαιοι εκ της αυχμωδους προς σαουλ επι τον βουνον λεγοντες ουκ ιδου δαυιδ κεκρυπται παρ' ημιν εν μεσσαρα εν τοις στενοις εν τη καινη εν τω βουνω του εχελα του εκ δεξιων του ιεσσαιμουν | 19 Then the Ziphites went up to Saul at Gibe-ah, saying, "Does not David hide among us in the strongholds at Horesh, on the hill of Hachilah, which is south of Jeshimon? |
| 20 και νυν παν το προς ψυχην του βασιλεως εις καταβασιν καταβαινετω προς ημας κεκλεικασιν αυτον εις τας χειρας του βασιλεως | 20 Now come down, O king, according to all your heart's desire to come down; and our part shall be to surrender him into the king's hand." |
| 21 και ειπεν αυτοις σαουλ ευλογημενοι υμεις τω κυριω οτι επονεσατε περι εμου | 21 And Saul said, "May you be blessed by the LORD; for you have had compassion on me. |
| 22 πορευθητε δη και ετοιμασατε ετι και γνωτε τον τοπον αυτου ου εσται ο πους αυτου εν ταχει εκει ου ειπατε μηποτε πανουργευσηται | 22 Go, make yet more sure; know and see the place where his haunt is, and who has seen him there; for it is told me that he is very cunning. |
| 23 και ιδετε και γνωτε και πορευσομεθα μεθ' υμων και εσται ει εστιν επι της γης και εξερευνησω αυτον εν πασαις χιλιασιν ιουδα | 23 See therefore, and take note of all the lurking places where he hides, and come back to me with sure information. Then I will go with you; and if he is in the land, I will search him out among all the thousands of Judah." |
| 24 και ανεστησαν οι ζιφαιοι και επορευθησαν εμπροσθεν σαουλ και δαυιδ και οι ανδρες αυτου εν τη ερημω τη μααν καθ' εσπεραν εκ δεξιων του ιεσσαιμουν | 24 And they arose, and went to Ziph ahead of Saul. Now David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the Arabah to the south of Jeshimon. |
| 25 και επορευθη σαουλ και οι ανδρες αυτου ζητειν αυτον και απηγγειλαν τω δαυιδ και κατεβη εις την πετραν την εν τη ερημω μααν και ηκουσεν σαουλ και κατεδιωξεν οπισω δαυιδ εις την ερημον μααν | 25 And Saul and his men went to seek him. And David was told; therefore he went down to the rock which is in the wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard that, he pursued after David in the wilderness of Maon. |
| 26 και πορευονται σαουλ και οι ανδρες αυτου εκ μερους του ορους τουτου και ην δαυιδ και οι ανδρες αυτου εκ μερους του ορους τουτου και ην δαυιδ σκεπαζομενος πορευεσθαι απο προσωπου σαουλ και σαουλ και οι ανδρες αυτου παρενεβαλον επι δαυιδ και τους ανδρας αυτου συλλαβειν αυτους | 26 Saul went on one side of the mountain, and David and his men on the other side of the mountain; and David was making haste to get away from Saul, as Saul and his men were closing in upon David and his men to capture them, |
| 27 και αγγελος προς σαουλ ηλθεν λεγων σπευδε και δευρο οτι επεθεντο οι αλλοφυλοι επι την γην | 27 when a messenger came to Saul, saying, "Make haste and come; for the Philistines have made a raid upon the land." |
| 28 και ανεστρεψεν σαουλ μη καταδιωκειν οπισω δαυιδ και επορευθη εις συναντησιν των αλλοφυλων δια τουτο επεκληθη ο τοπος εκεινος πετρα η μερισθεισα | 28 So Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines; therefore that place was called the Rock of Escape. |
| 29 And David went up from there, and dwelt in the strongholds of En-gedi. |
