1 Samuel 10

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	GREEK BIBLE
1 Then, from a flask he had with him, Samuel poured oil on Saul's head; he also kissed him, saying: "The LORD anoints you commander over his heritage. You are to govern the LORD'S people Israel, and to save them from the grasp of their enemies round about. "This will be the sign for you that the LORD has anointed you commander over his heritage:	1 Τοτε ελαβεν ο Σαμουηλ την φιαλην του ελαιου, και εχυσεν επι την κεφαλην αυτου, και εφιλησεν αυτον και ειπε, Δεν σε εχρισε Κυριος αρχοντα επι της κληρονομιας αυτου;
2 When you leave me today, you will meet two men near Rachel's tomb at Zelzah in the territory of Benjamin, who will say to you, 'The asses you went to look for have been found. Your father is no longer worried about the asses, but is anxious about you and says, What shall I do about my son?'	2 Αφου αναχωρησης απ' εμου σημερον, θελεις ευρει δυο ανθρωπους πλησιον του ταφου της Ραχηλ, κατα το οριον του Βενιαμιν εν Σελσα? και θελουσιν ειπει προς σε, Ευρεθησαν αι ονοι, τας οποιας υπηγες να ζητησης? και ιδου, ο πατηρ σου, αφησας την φροντιδα των ονων, υπερλυπειται δια σας, λεγων, Τι να καμω περι του υιου μου;
3 Farther on, when you arrive at the terebinth of Tabor, you will be met by three men going up to God at Bethel; one will be bringing three kids, another three loaves of bread, and the third a skin of wine.	3 Και προχωρησας εκειθεν, θελεις ελθει εως της δρυος του Θαβωρ, και εκει θελουσι σε ευρει τρεις ανθρωποι αναβαινοντες προς τον Θεον εις Βαιθηλ, ο εις φερων τρια εριφια, και ο αλλος φερων τρεις αρτους, και ο αλλος φερων ασκον οινου?
4 They will greet you and offer you two wave offerings of bread, which you will take from them.	4 και θελουσι σε χαιρετησει και σοι δωσει δυο αρτους, τους οποιους θελεις δεχθη εκ των χειρων αυτων.
5 After that you will come to Gibeath-elohim, where there is a garrison of the Philistines. As you enter that city, you will meet a band of prophets, in a prophetic state, coming down from the high place preceded by lyres, tambourines, flutes and harps.	5 Μετα ταυτα θελεις υπαγει εις το βουνον του Θεου, οπου ειναι η φρουρα των Φιλισταιων? και οταν υπαγης εκει εις την πολιν, θελεις απαντησει αθροισμα προφητων καταβαινοντων απο του υψηλου τοπου εν ψαλτηριω και τυμπανω και αυλω και κιθαρα εμπροσθεν αυτων, και προφητευοντων.
6 The spirit of the LORD will rush upon you, and you will join them in their prophetic state and will be changed into another man.	6 Και θελει επελθει επι σε πνευμα Κυριου, και θελεις προφητευσει μετ' αυτων και θελεις μεταβληθη εις αλλον ανθρωπον.
7 When you see these signs fulfilled, do whatever you judge feasible, because God is with you.	7 Και οταν τα σημεια ταυτα ελθωσιν επι σε, καμνε ο, τι δυνασαι διοτι ο Θεος ειναι μετα σου.
8 Now go down ahead of me to Gilgal, for I shall come down to you, to offer holocausts and to sacrifice peace offerings. Wait seven days until I come to you; I shall then tell you what you must do."	8 Και θελεις καταβη προ εμου εις Γαλγαλα? και ιδου, εγω θελω καταβη προς σε, δια να προσφερω ολοκαυτωματα, να θυσιασω θυσιας ειρηνικας? προσμενε επτα ημερας, εωσου ελθω προς σε και σοι αναγγειλω τι εχεις να καμης.
9 As Saul turned to leave Samuel, God gave him another heart. That very day all these signs came to pass. . . .	9 Και οτε εστρεψε τα νωτα αυτου δια να αναχωρηση απο του Σαμουηλ, ο Θεος εδωκεν εις αυτον αλλην καρδιαν? και ηλθον παντα εκεινα τα σημεια εν τη ημερα εκεινη.
10 When they were going from there to Gibeah, a band of prophets met him, and the spirit of God rushed upon him, so that he joined them in their prophetic state.	10 Και οτε ηλθον εκει εις το βουνον, ιδου, αθροισμα προφητων συνηντησεν αυτον? και επηλθεν επ' αυτον Πνευμα Θεου, και επροφητευσε μεταξυ αυτων.
11 When all who had known him previously saw him in a prophetic state among the prophets, they said to one another, "What has happened to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?"	11 Και ως ειδον οι γνωριζοντες αυτον προτερον, και ιδου, προεφητευε μετα των προφητων, τοτε ελεγεν ο λαος, εκαστος προς τον πλησιον αυτου, Τι ειναι τουτο, το οποιον εγεινεν εις τον υιον του Κεις; και Σαουλ εν προφηταις;
12 And someone from that district added, "And who is their father?" Thus the proverb arose, "Is Saul also among the prophets?"	12 Εις δε εκ των εκει απεκριθη και ειπεν, Και τις ειναι ο πατηρ αυτων; Δια τουτο εγεινε παροιμια, Και Σαουλ εν προφηταις;
13 When he came out of the prophetic state, he went home.	13 Και αφου ετελειωσε προφητευων, ηλθεν εις τον υψηλον τοπον.
14 Saul's uncle inquired of him and his servant, "Where have you been?" Saul replied, "To look for the asses. When we could not find them, we went to Samuel."	14 Και ειπεν ο θειος του Σαουλ προς αυτον και προς τον υπηρετην αυτου, Που υπηγετε; Και ειπε, να ζητησωμεν τας ονους. και οτε ειδομεν οτι δεν ησαν, ηλθομεν προς τον Σαμουηλ.
15 Then Saul's uncle said, "Tell me, then, what Samuel said to you."	15 Και ειπεν ο θειος του Σαουλ, Αναγγειλον μοι, σε παρακαλω, τι σας ειπεν ο Σαμουηλ.
16 Saul said to his uncle, "He assured us that the asses had been found." But he mentioned nothing to him of what Samuel had said about the kingship.	16 Και ειπεν ο Σαουλ προς τον θειον αυτου, Μας ειπε μετα βεβαιοτητος οτι ευρεθησαν αι ονοι? τον λογον ομως περι της βασιλειας, τον οποιον ο Σαμουηλ ειπε, δεν εφανερωσεν εις αυτον.
17 Samuel called the people together to the LORD at Mizpah	17 Και συνηγαγεν ο Σαμουηλ τον λαον προς τον Κυριον εις Μισπα?
18 and addressed the Israelites: "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, 'It was I who brought Israel up from Egypt and delivered you from the power of the Egyptians and from the power of all the kingdoms that oppressed you.'	18 και ειπε προς τους υιους Ισραηλ, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος του Ισραηλ? Εγω ανεβιβασα τον Ισραηλ εξ Αιγυπτου, και σας ηλευθερωσα εκ χειρος των Αιγυπτιων και εκ χειρος πασων των βασιλειων, αιτινες σας κατεθλιβον?
19 But today you have rejected your God, who delivers you from all your evils and calamities, by saying to him, 'Not so, but you must appoint a king over us.' Now, therefore, take your stand before the LORD according to tribes and families."	19 και σεις την ημεραν ταυτην απεβαλετε τον Θεον σας, οστις σας εσωσεν απο παντων των κακων σας και των θλιψεων σας, και ειπετε προς αυτον, Ουχι, αλλα καταστησον βασιλεα εφ' ημας. Τωρα λοιπον παρουσιασθητε ενωπιον του Κυριου, κατα τας φυλας σας και κατα τας χιλιαδας σας.
20 So Samuel had all the tribes of Israel come forward, and the tribe of Benjamin was chosen.	20 Και οτε εκαμεν ο Σαμουηλ πασας τας φυλας του Ισραηλ να πλησιασωσιν, επιασθη η φυλη του Βενιαμιν.
21 Next he had the tribe of Benjamin come forward in clans, and the clan of Matri was chosen, and finally Saul, son of Kish, was chosen. But they looked for him in vain.	21 Και αφου εκαμε την φυλην του Βενιαμιν να πλησιαση κατα τας οικογενειας αυτων, επιασθη η οικογενεια του Ματρει, και επιασθη ο Σαουλ ο υιος του Κεις? εζητησαν δε αυτον και δεν ευρεθη.
22 Again they consulted the LORD, "Has he come here?" The LORD answered, "He is hiding among the baggage."	22 Οθεν εζητησαν ετι παρα του Κυριου, αν ο ανθρωπος ερχηται ετι εκει. Και ειπε Κυριος, Ιδου, αυτος ειναι κεκρυμμενος μεταξυ της αποσκευης.
23 They ran to bring him from there; and when he stood among the people, he was head and shoulders above all the crowd.	23 Τοτε εδραμον και ελαβον αυτον εκειθεν? και οτε εσταθη μεταξυ του λαου, εξειχεν υπερ παντα τον λαον, απο τους ωμους αυτου και επανω.
24 Samuel said to all the people, "Do you see the man whom the LORD has chosen? There is none like him among all the people!" Then all the people shouted, "Long live the king!"	24 Και ειπεν ο Σαμουηλ προς παντα τον λαον, Βλεπετε εκεινον, τον οποιον εξελεξεν ο Κυριος, οτι δεν ειναι ομοιος αυτου μεταξυ παντος του λαου; Και πας ο λαος ηλαλαξε και ειπε, Ζητω ο βασιλευς.
25 Samuel next explained to the people the law of royalty and wrote it in a book, which he placed in the presence of the LORD. This done, Samuel dismissed the people, each to his own place.	25 Και ειπεν ο Σαμουηλ προς τον λαον τον τροπον της βασιλειας, και εγραψεν αυτον εν βιβλιω και εθεσεν εμπροσθεν του Κυριου. Και απελυσεν ο Σαμουηλ παντα τον λαον, εκαστον εις τον οικον αυτου.
26 Saul also went home to Gibeah, accompanied by warriors whose hearts the LORD had touched.	26 Και ο Σαουλ ομοιως ανεχωρησεν εις τον οικον αυτου εις Γαβαα? και υπηγε μετ' αυτου εκει ταγμα πολεμιστων, των οποιων τας καρδιας ειχε διαθεσει ο Θεος.
27 But certain worthless men said, "How can this fellow save us?" They despised him and brought him no present.	27 Ανθρωποι ομως κακοι ειπον, Πως θελει σωσει ημας ουτος; Και κατεφρονησαν αυτον και δεν προσεφεραν προς αυτον δωρα? εκεινος ομως εκαμνε τον κωφον.
