2 Samuel 16

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	LXX
1 David had gone a little beyond the top when Ziba, the servant of Meribbaal, met him with saddled asses laden with two hundred loaves of bread, an ephah of cakes of pressed raisins, an ephah of summer fruits, and a skin of wine.	1 και δαυιδ παρηλθεν βραχυ τι απο της ροως και ιδου σιβα το παιδαριον μεμφιβοσθε εις απαντην αυτου και ζευγος ονων επισεσαγμενων και επ' αυτοις διακοσιοι αρτοι και εκατον σταφιδες και εκατον φοινικες και νεβελ οινου
2 The king said to Ziba, "What do you plan to do with these?" Ziba replied: "The asses are for the king's household to ride on. The bread and summer fruits are for your servants to eat, and the wine for those to drink who are weary in the desert."	2 και ειπεν ο βασιλευς προς σιβα τι ταυτα σοι και ειπεν σιβα τα υποζυγια τη οικια του βασιλεως του επικαθησθαι και οι αρτοι και οι φοινικες εις βρωσιν τοις παιδαριοις και ο οινος πιειν τοις εκλελυμενοις εν τη ερημω
3 Then the king said, "And where is your lord's son?" Ziba answered the king, "He is staying in Jerusalem, for he said, 'Now the Israelites will restore to me my father's kingdom.'"	3 και ειπεν ο βασιλευς και που ο υιος του κυριου σου και ειπεν σιβα προς τον βασιλεα ιδου καθηται εν ιερουσαλημ οτι ειπεν σημερον επιστρεψουσιν μοι ο οικος ισραηλ την βασιλειαν του πατρος μου
4 The king therefore said to Ziba, "So! Everything Meribbaal had is yours." Then Ziba said: "I pay you homage, my lord the king. May I find favor with you!"	4 και ειπεν ο βασιλευς τω σιβα ιδου σοι παντα οσα εστιν τω μεμφιβοσθε και ειπεν σιβα προσκυνησας ευροιμι χαριν εν οφθαλμοις σου κυριε μου βασιλευ
5 As David was approaching Bahurim, a man named Shimei, the son of Gera of the same clan as Saul's family, was coming out of the place, cursing as he came.	5 και ηλθεν ο βασιλευς δαυιδ εως βαουριμ και ιδου εκειθεν ανηρ εξεπορευετο εκ συγγενειας οικου σαουλ και ονομα αυτω σεμει υιος γηρα εξηλθεν εκπορευομενος και καταρωμενος
6 He threw stones at David and at all the king's officers, even though all the soldiers, including the royal guard, were on David's right and on his left.	6 και λιθαζων εν λιθοις τον δαυιδ και παντας τους παιδας του βασιλεως δαυιδ και πας ο λαος ην και παντες οι δυνατοι εκ δεξιων και εξ ευωνυμων του βασιλεως
7 Shimei was saying as he cursed: "Away, away, you murderous and wicked man!	7 και ουτως ελεγεν σεμει εν τω καταρασθαι αυτον εξελθε εξελθε ανηρ αιματων και ανηρ ο παρανομος
8 The LORD has requited you for all the bloodshed in the family of Saul, in whose stead you became king, and the LORD has given over the kingdom to your son Absalom. And now you suffer ruin because you are a murderer."	8 επεστρεψεν επι σε κυριος παντα τα αιματα του οικου σαουλ οτι εβασιλευσας αντ' αυτου και εδωκεν κυριος την βασιλειαν εν χειρι αβεσσαλωμ του υιου σου και ιδου συ εν τη κακια σου οτι ανηρ αιματων συ
9 Abishai, son of Zeruiah, said to the king: "Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Let me go over, please, and lop off his head."	9 και ειπεν αβεσσα υιος σαρουιας προς τον βασιλεα ινα τι καταραται ο κυων ο τεθνηκως ουτος τον κυριον μου τον βασιλεα διαβησομαι δη και αφελω την κεφαλην αυτου
10 But the king replied: "What business is it of mine or of yours, sons of Zeruiah, that he curses? Suppose the LORD has told him to curse David; who then will dare to say, 'Why are you doing this?'"	10 και ειπεν ο βασιλευς τι εμοι και υμιν υιοι σαρουιας αφετε αυτον και ουτως καταρασθω οτι κυριος ειπεν αυτω καταρασθαι τον δαυιδ και τις ερει ως τι εποιησας ουτως
11 Then the king said to Abishai and to all his servants: "If my own son, who came forth from my loins, is seeking my life, how much more might this Benjaminite do so! Let him alone and let him curse, for the LORD has told him to.	11 και ειπεν δαυιδ προς αβεσσα και προς παντας τους παιδας αυτου ιδου ο υιος μου ο εξελθων εκ της κοιλιας μου ζητει την ψυχην μου και προσετι νυν ο υιος του ιεμινι αφετε αυτον καταρασθαι οτι ειπεν αυτω κυριος
12 Perhaps the LORD will look upon my affliction and make it up to me with benefits for the curses he is uttering this day."	12 ει πως ιδοι κυριος εν τη ταπεινωσει μου και επιστρεψει μοι αγαθα αντι της καταρας αυτου τη ημερα ταυτη
13 David and his men continued on the road, while Shimei kept abreast of them on the hillside, all the while cursing and throwing stones and dirt as he went.	13 και επορευθη δαυιδ και οι ανδρες αυτου εν τη οδω και σεμει επορευετο εκ πλευρας του ορους εχομενα αυτου πορευομενος και καταρωμενος και λιθαζων εν λιθοις εκ πλαγιων αυτου και τω χοι πασσων
14 The king and all the soldiers with him arrived at the Jordan tired out, and stopped there for a rest.	14 και ηλθεν ο βασιλευς και πας ο λαος αυτου εκλελυμενοι και ανεψυξαν εκει
15 In the meantime Absalom, accompanied by Ahithophel, entered Jerusalem with all the Israelites.	15 και αβεσσαλωμ και πας ανηρ ισραηλ εισηλθον εις ιερουσαλημ και αχιτοφελ μετ' αυτου
16 When David's friend Hushai the Archite came to Absalom, he said to him: "Long live the king! Long live the king!"	16 και εγενηθη ηνικα ηλθεν χουσι ο αρχι εταιρος δαυιδ προς αβεσσαλωμ και ειπεν χουσι προς αβεσσαλωμ ζητω ο βασιλευς
17 But Absalom asked Hushai: "Is this your devotion to your friend? Why did you not go with your friend?"	17 και ειπεν αβεσσαλωμ προς χουσι τουτο το ελεος σου μετα του εταιρου σου ινα τι ουκ απηλθες μετα του εταιρου σου
18 Hushai replied to Absalom: "On the contrary, I am his whom the LORD and all this people and all Israel have chosen, and with him I will stay.	18 και ειπεν χουσι προς αβεσσαλωμ ουχι αλλα κατοπισθεν ου εξελεξατο κυριος και ο λαος ουτος και πας ανηρ ισραηλ αυτω εσομαι και μετ' αυτου καθησομαι
19 Furthermore, as I was in attendance upon your father, so will I be before you. Whom should I serve, if not his son?"	19 και το δευτερον τινι εγω δουλευσω ουχι ενωπιον του υιου αυτου καθαπερ εδουλευσα ενωπιον του πατρος σου ουτως εσομαι ενωπιον σου
20 Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, "Offer your counsel on what we should do."	20 και ειπεν αβεσσαλωμ προς αχιτοφελ φερετε εαυτοις βουλην τι ποιησωμεν
21 Ahithophel replied to Absalom: "Have relations with your father's concubines, whom he left behind to take care of the palace. When all Israel hears how odious you have made yourself to your father, all your partisans will take courage."	21 και ειπεν αχιτοφελ προς αβεσσαλωμ εισελθε προς τας παλλακας του πατρος σου ας κατελιπεν φυλασσειν τον οικον αυτου και ακουσεται πας ισραηλ οτι κατησχυνας τον πατερα σου και ενισχυσουσιν αι χειρες παντων των μετα σου
22 So a tent was pitched on the roof for Absalom, and he visited his father's concubines in view of all Israel.	22 και επηξαν την σκηνην τω αβεσσαλωμ επι το δωμα και εισηλθεν αβεσσαλωμ προς τας παλλακας του πατρος αυτου κατ' οφθαλμους παντος ισραηλ
23 Now the counsel given by Ahithophel at that time was as though one had sought divine revelation. Such was all his counsel both to David and to Absalom.	23 και η βουλη αχιτοφελ ην εβουλευσατο εν ταις ημεραις ταις πρωταις ον τροπον επερωτηση εν λογω του θεου ουτως πασα η βουλη του αχιτοφελ και γε τω δαυιδ και γε τω αβεσσαλωμ
