Judges 9

KING JAMES BIBLE	LXX
1 And Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal went to Shechem unto his mother's brethren, and communed with them, and with all the family of the house of his mother's father, saying,	1 και επορευθη αβιμελεχ υιος ιεροβααλ εις σικιμα προς τους αδελφους της μητρος αυτου και ελαλησεν προς αυτους και προς πασαν την συγγενειαν του οικου της μητρος αυτου λεγων
2 Speak, I pray you, in the ears of all the men of Shechem, Whether is better for you, either that all the sons of Jerubbaal, which are threescore and ten persons, reign over you, or that one reign over you? remember also that I am your bone and your flesh.	2 λαλησατε δη εν ωσιν των ανδρων σικιμων ποιον βελτιον εστιν το αρχειν υμων εβδομηκοντα ανδρας παντας υιους ιεροβααλ η κυριευειν υμων ανδρα ενα και μνησθητε οτι σαρξ υμων και οστουν υμων εγω ειμι
3 And his mother's brethren spake of him in the ears of all the men of Shechem all these words: and their hearts inclined to follow Abimelech; for they said, He is our brother.	3 και ελαλησαν περι αυτου οι αδελφοι της μητρος αυτου εν τοις ωσιν παντων των ανδρων σικιμων παντας τους λογους τουτους και εκλινεν καρδια αυτων οπισω αβιμελεχ οτι ειπαν αδελφος ημων εστιν
4 And they gave him threescore and ten pieces of silver out of the house of Baal-berith, wherewith Abimelech hired vain and light persons, which followed him.	4 και εδωκαν αυτω εβδομηκοντα αργυριου εκ του οικου βααλ διαθηκης και εμισθωσατο εν αυτοις αβιμελεχ ανδρας κενους και θαμβουμενους και επορευθησαν οπισω αυτου
5 And he went unto his father's house at Ophrah, and slew his brethren the sons of Jerubbaal, being threescore and ten persons, upon one stone: notwithstanding yet Jotham the youngest son of Jerubbaal was left; for he hid himself.	5 και εισηλθεν εις τον οικον του πατρος αυτου εις εφραθα και απεκτεινεν τους αδελφους αυτου υιους ιεροβααλ εβδομηκοντα ανδρας επι λιθον ενα και απελειφθη ιωαθαμ υιος ιεροβααλ ο νεωτερος οτι εκρυβη
6 And all the men of Shechem gathered together, and all the house of Millo, and went, and made Abimelech king, by the plain of the pillar that was in Shechem.	6 και συνηχθησαν παντες οι ανδρες σικιμων και πας ο οικος μααλλων και επορευθησαν και εβασιλευσαν τον αβιμελεχ εις βασιλεα προς τη βαλανω της στασεως εν σικιμοις
7 And when they told it to Jotham, he went and stood in the top of mount Gerizim, and lifted up his voice, and cried, and said unto them, Hearken unto me, ye men of Shechem, that God may hearken unto you.	7 και ανηγγειλαν τω ιωαθαμ και επορευθη και εστη επι της κορυφης του ορους γαριζιν και επηρεν την φωνην αυτου και εκαλεσεν και ειπεν αυτοις ακουσατε μου ανδρες σικιμων και ακουσαι υμων ο θεος
8 The trees went forth on a time to anoint a king over them; and they said unto the olive tree, Reign thou over us.	8 πορευομενα επορευθησαν τα ξυλα του χρισαι εαυτοις βασιλεα και ειπον τη ελαια βασιλευσον εφ' ημων
9 But the olive tree said unto them, Should I leave my fatness, wherewith by me they honour God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?	9 και ειπεν αυτοις η ελαια αφεισα την πιοτητα μου ην εν εμοι εδοξασεν ο θεος και ανθρωποι πορευθω αρχειν των ξυλων
10 And the trees said to the fig tree, Come thou, and reign over us.	10 και ειπαν τα ξυλα τη συκη δευρο βασιλευσον εφ' ημων
11 But the fig tree said unto them, Should I forsake my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to be promoted over the trees?	11 και ειπεν αυτοις η συκη αφεισα την γλυκυτητα μου και το γενημα μου το αγαθον πορευθω αρχειν επι ξυλων
12 Then said the trees unto the vine, Come thou, and reign over us.	12 και ειπαν τα ξυλα τη αμπελω δευρο βασιλευσον εφ' ημων
13 And the vine said unto them, Should I leave my wine, which cheereth God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?	13 και ειπεν αυτοις η αμπελος αφεισα τον οινον μου την ευφροσυνην την παρα του θεου των ανθρωπων πορευθω αρχειν ξυλων
14 Then said all the trees unto the bramble, Come thou, and reign over us.	14 και ειπαν τα ξυλα προς την ραμνον δευρο συ βασιλευσον εφ' ημων
15 And the bramble said unto the trees, If in truth ye anoint me king over you, then come and put your trust in my shadow: and if not, let fire come out of the bramble, and devour the cedars of Lebanon.	15 και ειπεν η ραμνος προς τα ξυλα ει εν αληθεια υμεις χριετε με εις βασιλεα εφ' υμων δευτε πεποιθατε εν τη σκεπη μου και ει μη εξελθοι πυρ εκ της ραμνου και καταφαγοι τας κεδρους του λιβανου
16 Now therefore, if ye have done truly and sincerely, in that ye have made Abimelech king, and if ye have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house, and have done unto him according to the deserving of his hands;	16 και νυν ει εν αληθεια και εν τελειοτητι εποιησατε και εβασιλευσατε τον αβιμελεχ και ει καλως εποιησατε μετα ιεροβααλ και μετα του οικου αυτου και ει κατα το ανταποδομα της χειρος αυτου εποιησατε αυτω
17 (For my father fought for you, and adventured his life far, and delivered you out of the hand of Midian:	17 ως επολεμησεν ο πατηρ μου υπερ υμων και ερριψεν την ψυχην αυτου εξ εναντιας και εξειλατο υμας εκ χειρος μαδιαμ
18 And ye are risen up against my father's house this day, and have slain his sons, threescore and ten persons, upon one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his maidservant, king over the men of Shechem, because he is your brother;)	18 και υμεις επανεστητε επι τον οικον του πατρος μου σημερον και απεκτεινατε τους υιους αυτου εβδομηκοντα ανδρας επι λιθον ενα και εβασιλευσατε τον αβιμελεχ υιον της παιδισκης αυτου επι τους ανδρας σικιμων οτι αδελφος υμων εστιν
19 If ye then have dealt truly and sincerely with Jerubbaal and with his house this day, then rejoice ye in Abimelech, and let him also rejoice in you:	19 και ει εν αληθεια και τελειοτητι εποιησατε μετα ιεροβααλ και του οικου αυτου τη ημερα ταυτη ευλογηθειητε υμεις και ευφρανθειητε εν αβιμελεχ και ευφρανθειη και αυτος εν υμιν
20 But if not, let fire come out from Abimelech, and devour the men of Shechem, and the house of Millo; and let fire come out from the men of Shechem, and from the house of Millo, and devour Abimelech.	20 και ει μη εξελθοι πυρ εξ αβιμελεχ και καταφαγοι τους ανδρας σικιμων και τον οικον μααλλων και ει μη εξελθοι πυρ απο ανδρων σικιμων και εκ του οικου μααλλων και καταφαγοι τον αβιμελεχ
21 And Jotham ran away, and fled, and went to Beer, and dwelt there, for fear of Abimelech his brother.	21 και απεδρα ιωαθαμ και επορευθη εν οδω και εφυγεν εις ραρα και κατωκησεν εκει απο προσωπου αβιμελεχ του αδελφου αυτου
22 When Abimelech had reigned three years over Israel,	22 και ηρξεν αβιμελεχ επι ισραηλ τρια ετη
23 Then God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem; and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech:	23 και εξαπεστειλεν ο θεος πνευμα πονηρον ανα μεσον αβιμελεχ και ανα μεσον των ανδρων σικιμων και ηθετησαν οι ανδρες σικιμων εν τω οικω αβιμελεχ
24 That the cruelty done to the threescore and ten sons of Jerubbaal might come, and their blood be laid upon Abimelech their brother, which slew them; and upon the men of Shechem, which aided him in the killing of his brethren.	24 του επαγαγειν την αδικιαν των εβδομηκοντα υιων ιεροβααλ και το αιμα αυτων επιθειναι επι αβιμελεχ τον αδελφον αυτων τον αποκτειναντα αυτους και επι τους ανδρας σικιμων τους κατισχυσαντας τας χειρας αυτου ωστε αποκτειναι τους αδελφους αυτου
25 And the men of Shechem set liers in wait for him in the top of the mountains, and they robbed all that came along that way by them: and it was told Abimelech.	25 και εθεντο αυτω οι ανδρες σικιμων ενεδρα επι τας κεφαλας των ορεων και ανηρπαζον παντας τους διαπορευομενους επ' αυτους εν τη οδω και απηγγελη τω αβιμελεχ
26 And Gaal the son of Ebed came with his brethren, and went over to Shechem: and the men of Shechem put their confidence in him.	26 και ηλθεν γααλ υιος αβεδ και οι αδελφοι αυτου εις σικιμα και επεποιθησαν εν αυτω οι ανδρες σικιμων
27 And they went out into the fields, and gathered their vineyards, and trode the grapes, and made merry, and went into the house of their god, and did eat and drink, and cursed Abimelech.	27 και ηλθον εις αγρον και ετρυγησαν τους αμπελωνας αυτων και κατεπατουν και εποιησαν χορους και εισηλθον εις οικον θεου αυτων και εφαγον και επιον και κατηρωντο τον αβιμελεχ
28 And Gaal the son of Ebed said, Who is Abimelech, and who is Shechem, that we should serve him? is not he the son of Jerubbaal? and Zebul his officer? serve the men of Hamor the father of Shechem: for why should we serve him?	28 και ειπεν γααλ υιος αβεδ τι εστιν αβιμελεχ και τις εστιν ο υιος συχεμ οτι δουλευσομεν αυτω ουχ ουτος υιος ιεροβααλ και ζεβουλ επισκοπος αυτου δουλος αυτου συν τοις ανδρασιν εμμωρ πατρος συχεμ και τι οτι δουλευσομεν αυτω ημεις
29 And would to God this people were under my hand! then would I remove Abimelech. And he said to Abimelech, Increase thine army, and come out.	29 και τις δωη τον λαον τουτον εν χειρι μου και μεταστησω τον αβιμελεχ και ερω τω αβιμελεχ πληθυνον την δυναμιν σου και εξελθε
30 And when Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, his anger was kindled.	30 και ηκουσεν ζεβουλ ο αρχων της πολεως τους λογους γααλ υιου αβεδ και εθυμωθη οργη
31 And he sent messengers unto Abimelech privily, saying, Behold, Gaal the son of Ebed and his brethren be come to Shechem; and, behold, they fortify the city against thee.	31 και απεστειλεν αγγελους προς αβιμελεχ μετα δωρων λεγων ιδου γααλ υιος αβεδ και οι αδελφοι αυτου παραγεγονασιν εις σικιμα και οιδε πολιορκουσιν την πολιν επι σε
32 Now therefore up by night, thou and the people that is with thee, and lie in wait in the field:	32 και νυν αναστηθι νυκτος συ και ο λαος ο μετα σου και ενεδρευσον εν τω αγρω
33 And it shall be, that in the morning, as soon as the sun is up, thou shalt rise early, and set upon the city: and, behold, when he and the people that is with him come out against thee, then mayest thou do to them as thou shalt find occasion.	33 και εσται το πρωι αμα τω ανατειλαι τον ηλιον και ορθρισεις και εκτενεις επι την πολιν και ιδου αυτος και ο λαος ο μετ' αυτου εκπορευονται προς σε και ποιησεις αυτω καθαπερ εαν ευρη η χειρ σου
34 And Abimelech rose up, and all the people that were with him, by night, and they laid wait against Shechem in four companies.	34 και ανεστη αβιμελεχ και πας ο λαος ο μετ' αυτου νυκτος και ενηδρευσαν επι σικιμα τεσσαρας αρχας
35 And Gaal the son of Ebed went out, and stood in the entering of the gate of the city: and Abimelech rose up, and the people that were with him, from lying in wait.	35 και εγενετο πρωι και εξηλθεν γααλ υιος αβεδ και εστη προς τη θυρα της πυλης της πολεως και ανεστη αβιμελεχ και ο λαος ο μετ' αυτου εκ των ενεδρων
36 And when Gaal saw the people, he said to Zebul, Behold, there come people down from the top of the mountains. And Zebul said unto him, Thou seest the shadow of the mountains as if they were men.	36 και ειδεν γααλ υιος αβεδ τον λαον και ειπεν προς ζεβουλ ιδου λαος καταβαινων απο των κορυφων των ορεων και ειπεν προς αυτον ζεβουλ την σκιαν των ορεων συ ορας ως ανδρας
37 And Gaal spake again and said, See there come people down by the middle of the land, and another company come along by the plain of Meonenim.	37 και προσεθετο ετι γααλ του λαλησαι και ειπεν ιδου λαος καταβαινων κατα θαλασσαν απο του εχομενα του ομφαλου της γης και αρχη μια παραγινεται απο οδου δρυος αποβλεποντων
38 Then said Zebul unto him, Where is now thy mouth, wherewith thou saidst, Who is Abimelech, that we should serve him? is not this the people that thou hast despised? go out, I pray now, and fight with them.	38 και ειπεν προς αυτον ζεβουλ που εστιν νυν το στομα σου το λεγον τις εστιν αβιμελεχ οτι δουλευσομεν αυτω ουκ ιδου ουτος εστιν ο λαος ον εξουδενωσας εξελθε νυν και πολεμει προς αυτον
39 And Gaal went out before the men of Shechem, and fought with Abimelech.	39 και εξηλθεν γααλ απο προσωπου των ανδρων σικιμων και επολεμησεν εν αβιμελεχ
40 And Abimelech chased him, and he fled before him, and many were overthrown and wounded, even unto the entering of the gate.	40 και κατεδιωξεν αυτον αβιμελεχ και εφυγεν απο προσωπου αυτου και επεσον τραυματιαι πολλοι εως θυρων της πολεως
41 And Abimelech dwelt at Arumah: and Zebul thrust out Gaal and his brethren, that they should not dwell in Shechem.	41 και εκαθισεν αβιμελεχ εν αριμα και εξεβαλεν ζεβουλ τον γααλ και τους αδελφους αυτου του μη οικειν εν σικιμοις
42 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people went out into the field; and they told Abimelech.	42 και εγενηθη τη επαυριον και εξηλθεν ο λαος εις το πεδιον και απηγγελη τω αβιμελεχ
43 And he took the people, and divided them into three companies, and laid wait in the field, and looked, and, behold, the people were come forth out of the city; and he rose up against them, and smote them.	43 και παρελαβεν τον λαον και διειλεν αυτον τρεις αρχας και ενηδρευσεν εν αυτω και ειδεν και ιδου λαος εξηλθεν εκ της πολεως και επανεστη αυτοις και επαταξεν αυτους
44 And Abimelech, and the company that was with him, rushed forward, and stood in the entering of the gate of the city: and the two other companies ran upon all the people that were in the fields, and slew them.	44 και αβιμελεχ και αι αρχαι αι μετ' αυτου εξεταθησαν και εστησαν παρα την πυλην της πολεως και αι δυο αρχαι εξεχυθησαν επι παντας τους εν τω αγρω και επαταξεν αυτους
45 And Abimelech fought against the city all that day; and he took the city, and slew the people that was therein, and beat down the city, and sowed it with salt.	45 και αβιμελεχ επολεμει εν τη πολει ολην την ημεραν εκεινην και κατελαβοντο την πολιν και τον λαον τον εν αυτη ανειλεν και την πολιν καθειλεν και εσπειρεν αυτην αλας
46 And when all the men of the tower of Shechem heard that, they entered into an hold of the house of the god Berith.	46 και ηκουσαν παντες οι ανδρες πυργου σικιμων και εισηλθον εις το οχυρωμα οικου του βααλ διαθηκης
47 And it was told Abimelech, that all the men of the tower of Shechem were gathered together.	47 και απηγγελη τω αβιμελεχ οτι συνηχθησαν παντες οι ανδρες του πυργου σικιμων
48 And Abimelech gat him up to mount Zalmon, he and all the people that were with him; and Abimelech took an axe in his hand, and cut down a bough from the trees, and took it, and laid it on his shoulder, and said unto the people that were with him, What ye have seen me do, make haste, and do as I have done.	48 και ανεβη αβιμελεχ εις ορος σελμων αυτος και πας ο λαος ο μετ' αυτου και ελαβεν αβιμελεχ αξινην εν τη χειρι αυτου και εκοψεν φορτιον ξυλων και ελαβεν αυτο και επεθηκεν επι τους ωμους αυτου και ειπεν προς τον λαον τον μετ' αυτου τι ειδετε με ποιουντα ταχεως ποιησατε ως και εγω
49 And all the people likewise cut down every man his bough, and followed Abimelech, and put them to the hold, and set the hold on fire upon them; so that all the men of the tower of Shechem died also, about a thousand men and women.	49 και εκοψαν και αυτοι εκαστος φορτιον και ηραν και επορευθησαν οπισω αβιμελεχ και επεθηκαν επι το οχυρωμα και ενεπρησαν επ' αυτους το οχυρωμα εν πυρι και απεθανον παντες οι ανδρες πυργου σικιμων ωσει χιλιοι ανδρες και γυναικες
50 Then went Abimelech to Thebez, and encamped against Thebez, and took it.	50 και επορευθη αβιμελεχ εις θεβες και περιεκαθισεν επ' αυτην και προκατελαβετο αυτην
51 But there was a strong tower within the city, and thither fled all the men and women, and all they of the city, and shut it to them, and gat them up to the top of the tower.	51 και πυργος ην οχυρος εν μεσω της πολεως και εφυγον εκει παντες οι ανδρες και αι γυναικες και παντες οι ηγουμενοι της πολεως και απεκλεισαν εφ' εαυτους και ανεβησαν επι το δωμα του πυργου
52 And Abimelech came unto the tower, and fought against it, and went hard unto the door of the tower to burn it with fire.	52 και ηλθεν αβιμελεχ εως του πυργου και εξεπολεμησαν αυτον και ηγγισεν αβιμελεχ εως της θυρας του πυργου εμπρησαι αυτον εν πυρι
53 And a certain woman cast a piece of a millstone upon Abimelech's head, and all to brake his skull.	53 και ερριψεν γυνη μια κλασμα μυλου επι την κεφαλην αβιμελεχ και συνεθλασεν το κρανιον αυτου
54 Then he called hastily unto the young man his armourbearer, and said unto him, Draw thy sword, and slay me, that men say not of me, A woman slew him. And his young man thrust him through, and he died.	54 και εβοησεν το ταχος προς το παιδαριον τον αιροντα τα σκευη αυτου και ειπεν αυτω σπασαι την μαχαιραν σου και θανατωσον με μηποτε ειπωσιν γυνη απεκτεινεν αυτον και εξεκεντησεν αυτον το παιδαριον αυτου και απεθανεν αβιμελεχ
55 And when the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, they departed every man unto his place.	55 και ειδεν ανηρ ισραηλ οτι απεθανεν αβιμελεχ και απηλθον ανηρ εις τον τοπον αυτου
56 Thus God rendered the wickedness of Abimelech, which he did unto his father, in slaying his seventy brethren:	56 και απεστρεψεν ο θεος την κακιαν αβιμελεχ ην εποιησεν τω πατρι αυτου αποκτειναι τους εβδομηκοντα αδελφους αυτου
57 And all the evil of the men of Shechem did God render upon their heads: and upon them came the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal.	57 και πασαν κακιαν ανδρων σικιμων επεστρεψεν ο θεος εις την κεφαλην αυτων και επηλθεν επ' αυτους η καταρα ιωαθαμ του υιου ιεροβααλ
