ΒΑΣΙΛΕΙΩΝ Α´ - 1 Samuele - Kings I 15

GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Ειπε δε Σαμουηλ προς τον Σαουλ, Εμε απεστειλεν ο Κυριος να σε χρισω βασιλεα επι τον λαον αυτου, επι τον Ισραηλ? τωρα λοιπον ακουσον της φωνης των λογων του Κυριου.	1 And Samuel said to Saul: “The Lord sent me, so that I would anoint you as king over his people Israel. Now therefore, listen to the voice of the Lord.
2 Ουτω λεγει ο Κυριος των δυναμεων? Θελω εκδικησει οσα εκαμεν ο Αμαληκ εις τον Ισραηλ, οτι αντεσταθη εις αυτον εν τη οδω, οτε ανεβαινεν εξ Αιγυπτου?	2 ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: I have taken account of all that Amalek has done to Israel, how he stood against him in the way, when he ascended from Egypt.
3 υπαγε τωρα και παταξον τον Αμαληκ, και εξολοθρευσον παν ο, τι εχει και μη φεισθης αυτους? αλλα θανατωσον και ανδρα και γυναικα και παιδιον και θηλαζον και βουν και προβατον και καμηλον και ονον.	3 Now therefore, go and strike Amalek, and demolish all that is his. You shall not spare him, and you shall not covet anything out of the things that are his. Instead, kill from man even to woman, and little ones as well as infants, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.’ ”
4 Και ο Σαουλ εκαλεσε τον λαον και απηριθμησεν αυτους εν Τελαιμ, διακοσιας χιλιαδας πεζων και δεκα χιλιαδας ανδρων Ιουδα.	4 And so, Saul instructed the people, and he numbered them like lambs: two hundred thousand foot soldiers, and ten thousand men of Judah.
5 Και ηλθεν ο Σαουλ εως της πολεως του Αμαληκ και ενεδρευσεν εν τη φαραγγι.	5 And when Saul had arrived as far as the city of Amalek, he placed ambushes at the torrent.
6 Και ειπεν ο Σαουλ προς τους Κεναιους, Υπαγετε, αναχωρησατε, καταβητε εκ μεσου των Αμαληκιτων, δια να μη σας συμπεριλαβω μετ' αυτων? διοτι σεις εδειξατε ελεος εις παντας τους υιους Ισραηλ, οτε ανεβαινον εξ Αιγυπτου. Και ανεχωρησαν οι Κεναιοι εκ μεσου των Αμαληκιτων.	6 And Saul said to the Kenite: “Go away, withdraw, and descend from Amalek. Otherwise, I will include you with him. For you showed mercy to all the sons of Israel, when they ascended from Egypt.” And so the Kenite withdrew from the midst of Amalek.
7 Και επαταξεν ο Σαουλ τους Αμαληκιτας απο Αβιλα εως της εισοδου Σουρ, της κατα προσωπον Αιγυπτου.	7 And Saul struck down Amalek, from Havilah even until you arrive at Shur, which is opposite the region of Egypt.
8 Και συνελαβεν Αγαγ τον βασιλεα των Αμαληκιτων ζωντα, παντα δε τον λαον εξωλοθρευσεν εν στοματι μαχαιρας.	8 And he apprehended Agag, the king of Amalek, alive. But all the common people he put to death with the edge of the sword.
9 Πλην εφεισθη ο Σαουλ και ο λαος τον Αγαγ και τα καλητερα των προβατων και των βοων και των δευτερευοντων και των αρνιων και παντος αγαθου, και δεν ηθελον να εξολοθρευσωσιν αυτα? αλλα παν το ευτελες και εξουδενωμενον, εκεινο εξωλοθρευσαν.	9 And Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the flocks of sheep, and of the herds, and the garments, and the rams, and all that was beautiful, and they were not willing to destroy them. Yet truly, whatever was vile or worthless, these they demolished.
10 Τοτε εγεινε λογος Κυριου προς τον Σαμουηλ, λεγων,	10 Then the word of the Lord came to Samuel, saying
11 Μετεμεληθην οτι εκαμα τον Σαουλ βασιλεα? διοτι εστραφη απο οπισθεν μου και τους λογους μου δεν εξετελεσε. Και τουτο ελυπησε τον Σαμουηλ, και εβοησε προς τον Κυριον δι' ολης της νυκτος.	11 “It displeases me that I have appointed Saul as king. For he has forsaken me, and he has not fulfilled the work of my words.” And Samuel was greatly saddened, and he cried out to the Lord, all night long
12 Και οτε εξηγερθη ο Σαμουηλ ενωρις δια να υπαγη εις συναντησιν του Σαουλ το πρωι, ανηγγειλαν προς τον Σαμουηλ, λεγοντες, Ο Σαουλ ηλθεν εις τον Καρμηλον, και ιδου, ανηγειρεν εις εαυτον τροπαιον? επειτα εστραφη και διεπερασε και κατεβη εις Γαλγαλα.	12 And when Samuel had risen while it was still dark, so that he might go to Saul in the morning, it was reported to Samuel that Saul had arrived at Carmel, and that he had erected for himself a triumphant arch. And, while returning, he had continued on and descended to Gilgal. Therefore, Samuel went to Saul. And Saul was offering a holocaust to the Lord, from the best of the spoils, which he had brought from Amalek.
13 Και υπηγεν ο Σαμουηλ προς τον Σαουλ? και ειπεν ο Σαουλ προς αυτον, Ευλογημενος να ησαι παρα του Κυριου? εξετελεσα τον λογον του Κυριου.	13 And when Samuel had gone to Saul, Saul said to him: “You are the blessed of the Lord. I have fulfilled the word of the Lord.”
14 Ειπε δε ο Σαμουηλ, Και τις η φωνη αυτη των προβατων εις τα ωτα μου, και η φωνη των βοων, την οποιαν ακουω;	14 And Samuel said, “Then what is this voice of the flocks, which resounds in my ears, and of the herds, which I am hearing?”
15 Και ειπεν ο Σαουλ, Εκ των Αμαληκιτων εφεραν αυτα? διοτι ο λαος εφεισθη τα καλητερα των προβατων και των βοων, δια να θυσιαση εις Κυριον τον Θεον σου? τα δε λοιπα εξωλοθρευσαμεν.	15 And Saul said: “They have brought these from Amalek. For the people spared the best of the sheep and of the herds, so that they might be immolated to the Lord your God. Yet truly, the remainder we have slain.”
16 Τοτε ειπεν ο Σαμουηλ προς τον Σαουλ, Αφες, και θελω απαγγειλει προς σε τι ελαλησεν ο Κυριος εις εμε την νυκτα. Ο δε ειπε προς αυτον, Λεγε.	16 Then Samuel said to Saul, “Permit me, and I will reveal to you what the Lord has said to me this night.” And he said to him, “Speak.”
17 Και ειπεν ο Σαμουηλ, Ενω συ ησο μικρος εμπροσθεν των οφθαλμων σου, δεν εγεινες η κεφαλη των φυλων του Ισραηλ, και σε εχρισεν ο Κυριος βασιλεα επι τον Ισραηλ;	17 And Samuel said: “Was it not when you were little in your own eyes that you were made the head of the tribes of Israel? And the Lord anointed you as king over Israel.
18 και σε εστειλεν ο Κυριος εις την οδον και ειπεν, Υπαγε και εξολοθρευσον τους αμαρτανοντας εις εμε, τους Αμαληκιτας, και πολεμησον εναντιον αυτων εωσου εξαφανισης αυτους?	18 And the Lord sent you on the way, and he said: ‘Go and put to death the sinners of Amalek. And you shall fight against them, even unto utter annihilation.’
19 δια τι λοιπον δεν υπηκουσας της φωνης του Κυριου, αλλ' ωρμησας επι τα λαφυρα και επραξας το κακον ενωπιον του Κυριου;	19 Why then, did you not listen to the voice of the Lord? Instead, you turned to the spoils, and you did evil in the eyes of the Lord.”
20 Και ειπεν ο Σαουλ προς τον Σαμουηλ, Ναι, υπηκουσα της φωνης του Κυριου και υπηγα εις την οδον εις την οποιαν ο Κυριος με απεστειλε και εφερα τον Αγαγ τον βασιλεα του Αμαληκ, τους δε Αμαληκιτας εξωλοθρευσα?	20 And Saul said to Samuel: “On the contrary, I did listen to the voice of the Lord, and I walked in the way along which the Lord sent me, and I led back Agag, the king of Amalek, and I put to death Amalek.
21 ο λαος ομως ελαβεν εκ των λαφυρων προβατα και βοας, τα καλητερα απο των απηγορευμενων, δια να θυσιαση εις Κυριον τον Θεον σου εν Γαλγαλοις.	21 But the people took some of the spoils, sheep and oxen, as the first-fruits of those things that were slain, to immolate to the Lord their God at Gilgal.”
22 Και ειπεν ο Σαμουηλ, Μηπως ο Κυριος αρεσκεται εις τα ολοκαυτωματα και εις τας θυσιας, καθως εις το να υπακουωμεν της φωνης του Κυριου; ιδου, η υποταγη ειναι καλητερα παρα την θυσιαν? η υπακοη, παρα το παχος των κριων?	22 And Samuel said: “Does the Lord want holocausts and victims, and not instead that the voice of the Lord should be obeyed? For obedience is better than sacrifice. And to heed is greater than to offer the fat of rams.
23 διοτι η απειθεια ειναι καθως το αμαρτημα της μαγειας? και το πεισμα, καθως η ασεβεια και ειδωλολατρεια? επειδη συ απερριψας τον λογον του Κυριου, δια τουτο και αυτος απερριψε σε απο του να ησαι βασιλευς.	23 Therefore, it is like the sin of paganism to rebel. And it is like the crime of idolatry to refuse to obey. For this reason, therefore, because you have rejected the word of the Lord, the Lord has also rejected you from being king.”
24 Και ειπεν ο Σαουλ προς τον Σαμουηλ, Ημαρτησα? διοτι παρεβην το προσταγμα του Κυριου και τους λογους σου, φοβηθεις τον λαον και υπακουσας εις την φωνην αυτων?	24 And Saul said to Samuel: “I have sinned, for I have transgressed the word of the Lord, and your words, by fearing the people and obeying their voice.
25 τωρα λοιπον συγχωρησον, παρακαλω, το αμαρτημα μου και επιστρεψον μετ' εμου, δια να προσκυνησω τον Κυριον.	25 But now, I beg you, to bear my sin, and to return with me, so that I may adore the Lord.”
26 Ο δε Σαμουηλ ειπε προς τον Σαουλ, Δεν θελω επιστρεψει μετα σου? διοτι απερριψας τον λογον του Κυριου, και ο Κυριος απερριψε σε απο του να ησαι βασιλευς επι τον Ισραηλ.	26 And Samuel said to Saul: “I will not return with you. For you have rejected the word of the Lord, and the Lord has rejected you from being king over Israel.”
27 Και καθως εστραφη ο Σαμουηλ δια να αναχωρηση, εκεινος επιασεν αυτον απο του κρασπεδου του ιματιου αυτου? και εξεσχισθη.	27 And Samuel turned away, so that he might depart. But Saul took hold of the edge of his cloak, and it tore.
28 Και ειπε προς αυτον ο Σαμουηλ, Εξεσχισεν η Κυριος την βασιλειαν του Ισραηλ απο σου σημερον και εδωκεν αυτην εις τον πλησιον σου, τον καλητερον σου?	28 And Samuel said to him: “The Lord has torn the kingdom of Israel away from you this day. And he has delivered it to your neighbor, who is better than you are.
29 ουδε θελει ψευσθη ο Ισχυρος του Ισραηλ ουδε μεταμεληθη? διοτι ουτος δεν ειναι ανθρωπος, ωστε να μεταμεληθη.	29 Moreover, the One who triumphs within Israel will not spare, and he will not be moved to repentance. For he is not a man, that he should repent.”
30 Ο δε ειπεν, Ημαρτησα? αλλα τιμησον με τωρα, παρακαλω, εμπροσθεν των πρεσβυτερων του λαου μου και εμπροσθεν του Ισραηλ, και επιστρεψον μετ' εμου, δια να προσκυνησω Κυριον τον Θεον σου.	30 Then he said: “I have sinned. But now, honor me before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and return with me, so that I may adore the Lord your God.”
31 Και επεστρεψεν ο Σαμουηλ κατοπιν του Σαουλ και προσεκυνησεν ο Σαουλ τον Κυριον.	31 Therefore, Samuel turned again after Saul. And Saul adored the Lord.
32 Τοτε ειπεν ο Σαμουηλ, Φερετε μοι ενταυθα Αγαγ τον βασιλεα των Αμαληκιτων. Και ηλθε προς αυτον ο Αγαγ χαριεντως? διοτι ελεγεν ο Αγαγ, Βεβαιως η πικρια του θανατου επερασεν.	32 And Samuel said, “Bring near to me Agag, the king of Amalek.” And Agag, very fat and trembling, was presented to him. And Agag said, “Does bitter death separate in this manner?”
33 Ο δε Σαμουηλ ειπε, Καθως ητεκνωσε γυναικας η ρομφαια σου, ουτω θελει ατεκνωθη μεταξυ των γυναικων η μητηρ σου. Και κατεκοψεν ο Σαμουηλ τον Αγαγ ενωπιον του Κυριου εν Γαλγαλοις.	33 And Samuel said, “Just as your sword caused women to be without their children, so will your mother be without her children among women.” And Samuel cut him into pieces, before the Lord at Gilgal.
34 Τοτε ανεχωρησεν ο Σαμουηλ εις Ραμα? ο δε Σαουλ ανεβη εις τον οικον αυτου, εις Γαβαα Σαουλ.	34 Then Samuel went away to Ramah. But Saul ascended to his house at Gibeah.
35 Ο δε Σαμουηλ δεν ειδε πλεον τον Σαουλ εως της ημερας του θανατου αυτου? επενθησεν ομως ο Σαμουηλ δια τον Σαουλ. Και ο Κυριος μετεμεληθη οτι εκαμε τον Σαουλ βασιλεα επι τον Ισραηλ.	35 And Samuel did not see Saul any more, until the day of his death. Yet truly, Samuel mourned for Saul, because the Lord regretted that he had appointed him as king over Israel.
