2 Samuel 21

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	LXX
1 During David's reign there was a famine for three successive years. David had recourse to the LORD, who said, "There is bloodguilt on Saul and his family because he put the Gibeonites to death."	1 και εγενετο λιμος εν ταις ημεραις δαυιδ τρια ετη ενιαυτος εχομενος ενιαυτου και εζητησεν δαυιδ το προσωπον του κυριου και ειπεν κυριος επι σαουλ και επι τον οικον αυτου αδικια δια το αυτον θανατω αιματων περι ου εθανατωσεν τους γαβαωνιτας
2 So the king called the Gibeonites and spoke to them. (Now the Gibeonites were not Israelites, but survivors of the Amorites; and although the Israelites had given them their oath, Saul had attempted to kill them off in his zeal for the men of Israel and Judah.)	2 και εκαλεσεν ο βασιλευς δαυιδ τους γαβαωνιτας και ειπεν προς αυτους και οι γαβαωνιται ουχ υιοι ισραηλ εισιν οτι αλλ' η εκ του λειμματος του αμορραιου και οι υιοι ισραηλ ωμοσαν αυτοις και εζητησεν σαουλ παταξαι αυτους εν τω ζηλωσαι αυτον τους υιους ισραηλ και ιουδα
3 David said to the Gibeonites, "What must I do for you and how must I make atonement, that you may bless the inheritance of the LORD?"	3 και ειπεν δαυιδ προς τους γαβαωνιτας τι ποιησω υμιν και εν τινι εξιλασομαι και ευλογησετε την κληρονομιαν κυριου
4 The Gibeonites answered him, "We have no claim against Saul and his house for silver or gold, nor is it our place to put any man to death in Israel." Then he said, "I will do for you whatever you propose."	4 και ειπαν αυτω οι γαβαωνιται ουκ εστιν ημιν αργυριον και χρυσιον μετα σαουλ και μετα του οικου αυτου και ουκ εστιν ημιν ανηρ θανατωσαι εν ισραηλ και ειπεν τι υμεις λεγετε και ποιησω υμιν
5 They said to the king, "As for the man who was exterminating us and who intended to destroy us that we might have no place in all the territory of Israel,	5 και ειπαν προς τον βασιλεα ο ανηρ συνετελεσεν εφ' ημας και εδιωξεν ημας ος παρελογισατο εξολεθρευσαι ημας αφανισωμεν αυτον του μη εσταναι αυτον εν παντι οριω ισραηλ
6 let seven men from among his descendants be given to us, that we may dismember them before the LORD in Gibeon, on the LORD'S mountain." The king replied, "I will give them up."	6 δοτω ημιν επτα ανδρας εκ των υιων αυτου και εξηλιασωμεν αυτους τω κυριω εν γαβαων σαουλ εκλεκτους κυριου και ειπεν ο βασιλευς εγω δωσω
7 The king, however, spared Meribbaal, son of Jonathan, son of Saul, because of the LORD'S oath that formed a bond between David and Saul's son Jonathan.	7 και εφεισατο ο βασιλευς επι μεμφιβοσθε υιον ιωναθαν υιου σαουλ δια τον ορκον κυριου τον ανα μεσον αυτων ανα μεσον δαυιδ και ανα μεσον ιωναθαν υιου σαουλ
8 But the king took Armoni and Meribbaal, the two sons that Aiah's daughter Rizpah had borne to Saul, and the five sons of Saul's daughter Merob that she had borne to Adriel, son of Barzillai the Meholathite,	8 και ελαβεν ο βασιλευς τους δυο υιους ρεσφα θυγατρος αια ους ετεκεν τω σαουλ τον ερμωνι και τον μεμφιβοσθε και τους πεντε υιους μιχολ θυγατρος σαουλ ους ετεκεν τω εσριηλ υιω βερζελλι τω μοουλαθι
9 and surrendered them to the Gibeonites. They then dismembered them on the mountain before the LORD. The seven fell at the one time; they were put to death during the first days of the harvest--that is, at the beginning of the barley harvest.	9 και εδωκεν αυτους εν χειρι των γαβαωνιτων και εξηλιασαν αυτους εν τω ορει εναντι κυριου και επεσαν οι επτα αυτοι επι το αυτο και αυτοι δε εθανατωθησαν εν ημεραις θερισμου εν πρωτοις εν αρχη θερισμου κριθων
10 Then Rizpah, Aiah's daughter, took sackcloth and spread it out for herself on the rock from the beginning of the harvest until rain came down on them from the sky, fending off the birds of the sky from settling on them by day, and the wild animals by night.	10 και ελαβεν ρεσφα θυγατηρ αια τον σακκον και επηξεν αυτη προς την πετραν εν αρχη θερισμου κριθων εως εσταξεν επ' αυτους υδωρ εκ του ουρανου και ουκ εδωκεν τα πετεινα του ουρανου καταπαυσαι επ' αυτους ημερας και τα θηρια του αγρου νυκτος
11 When David was informed of what Rizpah, Aiah's daughter, the concubine of Saul, had done,	11 και απηγγελη τω δαυιδ οσα εποιησεν ρεσφα θυγατηρ αια παλλακη σαουλ και εξελυθησαν και κατελαβεν αυτους δαν υιος ιωα εκ των απογονων των γιγαντων
12 he went and obtained the bones of Saul and of his son Jonathan from the citizens of Jabesh-gilead, who had carried them off secretly from the public square of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had hanged them at the time they killed Saul on Gilboa.	12 και επορευθη δαυιδ και ελαβεν τα οστα σαουλ και τα οστα ιωναθαν του υιου αυτου παρα των ανδρων υιων ιαβις γαλααδ οι εκλεψαν αυτους εκ της πλατειας βαιθσαν οτι εστησαν αυτους εκει οι αλλοφυλοι εν ημερα η επαταξαν οι αλλοφυλοι τον σαουλ εν γελβουε
13 When he had brought up from there the bones of Saul and of his son Jonathan, the bones of those who had been dismembered were also gathered up.	13 και ανηνεγκεν εκειθεν τα οστα σαουλ και τα οστα ιωναθαν του υιου αυτου και συνηγαγεν τα οστα των εξηλιασμενων
14 Then the bones of Saul and of his son Jonathan were buried in the tomb of his father Kish at Zela in the territory of Benjamin. After all that the king commanded had been carried out, God granted relief to the land.	14 και εθαψαν τα οστα σαουλ και τα οστα ιωναθαν του υιου αυτου και των ηλιασθεντων εν γη βενιαμιν εν τη πλευρα εν τω ταφω κις του πατρος αυτου και εποιησαν παντα οσα ενετειλατο ο βασιλευς και επηκουσεν ο θεος τη γη μετα ταυτα
15 There was another battle between the Philistines and Israel. David went down with his servants and fought the Philistines, but David grew tired.	15 και εγενηθη ετι πολεμος τοις αλλοφυλοις μετα ισραηλ και κατεβη δαυιδ και οι παιδες αυτου μετ' αυτου και επολεμησαν μετα των αλλοφυλων και εξελυθη δαυιδ
16 Dadu, one of the Rephaim, whose bronze spear weighed three hundred shekels, was about to take him captive. Dadu was girt with a new sword and planned to kill David,	16 και ιεσβι ος ην εν τοις εκγονοις του ραφα και ο σταθμος του δορατος αυτου τριακοσιων σικλων ολκη χαλκου και αυτος περιεζωσμενος κορυνην και διενοειτο παταξαι τον δαυιδ
17 but Abishai, son of Zeruiah, came to his assistance and struck and killed the Philistine. Then David's men swore to him, "You must not go out to battle with us again, lest you quench the lamp of Israel."	17 και εβοηθησεν αυτω αβεσσα υιος σαρουιας και επαταξεν τον αλλοφυλον και εθανατωσεν αυτον τοτε ωμοσαν οι ανδρες δαυιδ λεγοντες ουκ εξελευση ετι μεθ' ημων εις πολεμον και ου μη σβεσης τον λυχνον ισραηλ
18 After this there was another battle with the Philistines in Gob. On that occasion Sibbecai, from Husha, killed Saph, one of the Rephaim.	18 και εγενηθη μετα ταυτα ετι πολεμος εν γεθ μετα των αλλοφυλων τοτε επαταξεν σεβοχα ο αστατωθι τον σεφ τον εν τοις εκγονοις του ραφα
19 There was another battle with the Philistines in Gob, in which Elhanan, son of Jair from Bethlehem, killed Goliath of Gath, who had a spear with a shaft like a weaver's heddle-bar.	19 και εγενετο ο πολεμος εν γοβ μετα των αλλοφυλων και επαταξεν ελεαναν υιος αριωργιμ ο βαιθλεεμιτης τον γολιαθ τον γεθθαιον και το ξυλον του δορατος αυτου ως αντιον υφαινοντων
20 There was another battle at Gath in which there was a man of large stature with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot--twenty-four in all. He too was one of the Rephaim.	20 και εγενετο ετι πολεμος εν γεθ και ην ανηρ μαδων και οι δακτυλοι των χειρων αυτου και οι δακτυλοι των ποδων αυτου εξ και εξ εικοσι τεσσαρες αριθμω και γε αυτος ετεχθη τω ραφα
21 And when he insulted Israel, Jonathan, son of David's brother Shimei, killed him.	21 και ωνειδισεν τον ισραηλ και επαταξεν αυτον ιωναθαν υιος σεμει αδελφου δαυιδ
22 These four were Rephaim in Gath, and they fell at the hands of David and his servants.	22 οι τεσσαρες ουτοι ετεχθησαν απογονοι των γιγαντων εν γεθ τω ραφα οικος και επεσαν εν χειρι δαυιδ και εν χειρι των δουλων αυτου
