1 Samuel 14

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	LXX
1 One day Jonathan, son of Saul, said to his armor-bearer, "Come let us go over to the Philistine outpost on the other side." But he did not inform his father.	1 και γινεται ημερα και ειπεν ιωναθαν υιος σαουλ τω παιδαριω τω αιροντι τα σκευη αυτου δευρο και διαβωμεν εις μεσσαβ των αλλοφυλων την εν τω περαν εκεινω και τω πατρι αυτου ουκ απηγγειλεν
2 (Saul's command post was under the pomegranate tree near the threshing floor on the outskirts of Geba; those with him numbered about six hundred men.	2 και σαουλ εκαθητο επ' ακρου του βουνου υπο την ροαν την εν μαγδων και ησαν μετ' αυτου ως εξακοσιοι ανδρες
3 Ahijah, son of Ahitub, brother of Ichabod, who was the son of Phinehas, son of Eli, the priest of the LORD at Shiloh, was wearing the ephod.) Nor did the soldiers know that Jonathan had gone.	3 και αχια υιος αχιτωβ αδελφου ιωχαβηδ υιου φινεες υιου ηλι ιερευς του θεου εν σηλωμ αιρων εφουδ και ο λαος ουκ ηδει οτι πεπορευται ιωναθαν
4 Flanking the ravine through which Jonathan intended to get over to the Philistine outpost there was a rocky crag on each side, one called Bozez, the other Seneh.	4 και ανα μεσον της διαβασεως ου εζητει ιωναθαν διαβηναι εις την υποστασιν των αλλοφυλων και ακρωτηριον πετρας ενθεν και ακρωτηριον πετρας ενθεν ονομα τω ενι βαζες και ονομα τω αλλω σεννα
5 One crag was to the north, toward Michmash, the other to the south, toward Geba.	5 η οδος η μια απο βορρα ερχομενω μαχμας και η οδος η αλλη απο νοτου ερχομενω γαβεε
6 Jonathan said to his armor-bearer: "Come let us go over to that outpost of the uncircumcised. Perhaps the LORD will help us, because it is no more difficult for the LORD to grant victory through a few than through many."	6 και ειπεν ιωναθαν προς το παιδαριον το αιρον τα σκευη αυτου δευρο διαβωμεν εις μεσσαβ των απεριτμητων τουτων ει τι ποιησαι ημιν κυριος οτι ουκ εστιν τω κυριω συνεχομενον σωζειν εν πολλοις η εν ολιγοις
7 His armor-bearer replied, "Do whatever you are inclined to do; I will match your resolve."	7 και ειπεν αυτω ο αιρων τα σκευη αυτου ποιει παν ο εαν η καρδια σου εκκλινη ιδου εγω μετα σου ως η καρδια σου καρδια μου
8 Jonathan continued: "We shall go over to those men and show ourselves to them.	8 και ειπεν ιωναθαν ιδου ημεις διαβαινομεν προς τους ανδρας και κατακυλισθησομεθα προς αυτους
9 If they say to us, 'Stay there until we can come to you,' we shall stop where we are; we shall not go up to them.	9 εαν ταδε ειπωσιν προς ημας αποστητε εκει εως αν απαγγειλωμεν υμιν και στησομεθα εφ' εαυτοις και ου μη αναβωμεν επ' αυτους
10 But if they say, 'Come up to us,' we shall go up, because the LORD has delivered them into our grasp. That will be our sign."	10 και εαν ταδε ειπωσιν προς ημας αναβητε προς ημας και αναβησομεθα οτι παραδεδωκεν αυτους κυριος εις τας χειρας ημων τουτο ημιν το σημειον
11 Accordingly, the two of them appeared before the outpost of the Philistines, who said, "Look, some Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they have been hiding."	11 και εισηλθον αμφοτεροι εις μεσσαβ των αλλοφυλων και λεγουσιν οι αλλοφυλοι ιδου οι εβραιοι εκπορευονται εκ των τρωγλων αυτων ου εκρυβησαν εκει
12 The men of the outpost called to Jonathan and his armor-bearer. "Come up here," they said, "and we will teach you a lesson." So Jonathan said to his armor-bearer, "Climb up after me, for the LORD has delivered them into the grasp of Israel."	12 και απεκριθησαν οι ανδρες μεσσαβ προς ιωναθαν και προς τον αιροντα τα σκευη αυτου και λεγουσιν αναβητε προς ημας και γνωριουμεν υμιν ρημα και ειπεν ιωναθαν προς τον αιροντα τα σκευη αυτου αναβηθι οπισω μου οτι παρεδωκεν αυτους κυριος εις χειρας ισραηλ
13 Jonathan clambered up with his armor-bearer behind him; as the Philistines turned to flee him, he cut them down, and his armor-bearer followed him and finished them off.	13 και ανεβη ιωναθαν επι τας χειρας αυτου και επι τους ποδας αυτου και ο αιρων τα σκευη αυτου μετ' αυτου και επεβλεψαν κατα προσωπον ιωναθαν και επαταξεν αυτους και ο αιρων τα σκευη αυτου επεδιδου οπισω αυτου
14 In this first exploit Jonathan and his armor-bearer slew about twenty men within half a furlong.	14 και εγενηθη η πληγη η πρωτη ην επαταξεν ιωναθαν και ο αιρων τα σκευη αυτου ως εικοσι ανδρες εν βολισι και εν πετροβολοις και εν κοχλαξιν του πεδιου
15 Then panic spread to the army and to the countryside, and all the soldiers, including the outpost and the raiding parties, were terror-stricken. The earth also shook, so that the panic was beyond human endurance.	15 και εγενηθη εκστασις εν τη παρεμβολη και εν αγρω και πας ο λαος οι εν μεσσαβ και οι διαφθειροντες εξεστησαν και αυτοι ουκ ηθελον ποιειν και εθαμβησεν η γη και εγενηθη εκστασις παρα κυριου
16 The lookouts of Saul in Geba of Benjamin saw that the enemy camp had scattered and were running about in all directions.	16 και ειδον οι σκοποι του σαουλ εν γαβεε βενιαμιν και ιδου η παρεμβολη τεταραγμενη ενθεν και ενθεν
17 Saul said to those around him, "Count the troops and find out if any of us are missing." When they had investigated, they found Jonathan and his armor-bearer missing.	17 και ειπεν σαουλ τω λαω τω μετ' αυτου επισκεψασθε δη και ιδετε τις πεπορευται εξ υμων και επεσκεψαντο και ιδου ουχ ευρισκετο ιωναθαν και ο αιρων τα σκευη αυτου
18 Saul then said to Ahijah, "Bring the ephod here." (Ahijah was wearing the ephod in front of the Israelites at that time.)	18 και ειπεν σαουλ τω αχια προσαγαγε το εφουδ οτι αυτος ηρεν το εφουδ εν τη ημερα εκεινη ενωπιον ισραηλ
19 While Saul was speaking to the priest, the tumult in the Philistine camp kept increasing. So he said to the priest, "Withdraw your hand."	19 και εγενηθη ως ελαλει σαουλ προς τον ιερεα και ο ηχος εν τη παρεμβολη των αλλοφυλων επορευετο πορευομενος και επληθυνεν και ειπεν σαουλ προς τον ιερεα συναγαγε τας χειρας σου
20 And Saul and all his men shouted and rushed into the fight, where the Philistines, wholly confused, were thrusting swords at one another.	20 και ανεβοησεν σαουλ και πας ο λαος ο μετ' αυτου και ερχονται εως του πολεμου και ιδου εγενετο ρομφαια ανδρος επι τον πλησιον αυτου συγχυσις μεγαλη σφοδρα
21 In addition, the Hebrews who had previously sided with the Philistines and had gone up with them to the camp, turned to join the Israelites under Saul and Jonathan.	21 και οι δουλοι οι οντες εχθες και τριτην ημεραν μετα των αλλοφυλων οι αναβαντες εις την παρεμβολην επεστραφησαν και αυτοι ειναι μετα ισραηλ των μετα σαουλ και ιωναθαν
22 Likewise, all the Israelites who were hiding in the hill country of Ephraim, on hearing that the Philistines were fleeing, pursued them in the rout.	22 και πας ισραηλ οι κρυπτομενοι εν τω ορει εφραιμ και ηκουσαν οτι πεφευγασιν οι αλλοφυλοι και συναπτουσιν και αυτοι οπισω αυτων εις πολεμον
23 Thus the LORD saved Israel that day. The battle continued past Beth-horon;	23 και εσωσεν κυριος εν τη ημερα εκεινη τον ισραηλ και ο πολεμος διηλθεν την βαιθων και πας ο λαος ην μετα σαουλ ως δεκα χιλιαδες ανδρων και ην ο πολεμος διεσπαρμενος εις ολην την πολιν εν τω ορει εφραιμ
24 the whole people, about ten thousand combatants, were with Saul, and there was scattered fighting in every town in the hill country of Ephraim. And Saul swore a very rash oath that day, putting the people under this ban: "Cursed be the man who takes food before evening, before I am able to avenge myself on my enemies." So none of the people tasted food.	24 και σαουλ ηγνοησεν αγνοιαν μεγαλην εν τη ημερα εκεινη και αραται τω λαω λεγων επικαταρατος ο ανθρωπος ος φαγεται αρτον εως εσπερας και εκδικησω τον εχθρον μου και ουκ εγευσατο πας ο λαος αρτου
25 Indeed, there was a honeycomb lying on the ground,	25 και πασα η γη ηριστα και ιααρ δρυμος ην μελισσωνος κατα προσωπον του αγρου
26 and when the soldiers came to the comb the swarm had left it; yet no one would raise a hand to his mouth from it, because the people feared the oath.	26 και εισηλθεν ο λαος εις τον μελισσωνα και ιδου επορευετο λαλων και ιδου ουκ ην επιστρεφων την χειρα αυτου εις το στομα αυτου οτι εφοβηθη ο λαος τον ορκον κυριου
27 Jonathan, who had not heard that his father had put the people under oath, thrust out the end of the staff he was holding and dipped in into the honey. Then he raised it to his mouth and his eyes lit up.	27 και ιωναθαν ουκ ακηκοει εν τω ορκιζειν τον πατερα αυτου τον λαον και εξετεινεν το ακρον του σκηπτρου αυτου του εν τη χειρι αυτου και εβαψεν αυτο εις το κηριον του μελιτος και επεστρεψεν την χειρα αυτου εις το στομα αυτου και ανεβλεψαν οι οφθαλμοι αυτου
28 At this one of the soldiers spoke up: "Your father put the people under a strict oath, saying, 'Cursed be the man who takes food this day!' As a result the people are weak."	28 και απεκριθη εις εκ του λαου και ειπεν ορκισας ωρκισεν ο πατηρ σου τον λαον λεγων επικαταρατος ο ανθρωπος ος φαγεται αρτον σημερον και εξελυθη ο λαος
29 Jonathan replied: "My father brings trouble to the land. Look how bright my eyes are from this small taste of honey I have had.	29 και εγνω ιωναθαν και ειπεν απηλλαχεν ο πατηρ μου την γην ιδε δη οτι ειδον οι οφθαλμοι μου οτι εγευσαμην βραχυ του μελιτος τουτου
30 What is more, if the people had eaten freely today of their enemy's booty when they came across it, would not the slaughter of the Philistines by now have been the greater for it?"	30 αλλ' οτι ει εφαγεν εσθων ο λαος σημερον των σκυλων των εχθρων αυτων ων ευρεν οτι νυν αν μειζων ην η πληγη εν τοις αλλοφυλοις
31 After the Philistines were routed that day from Michmash to Aijalon, the people were completely exhausted.	31 και επαταξεν εν τη ημερα εκεινη εκ των αλλοφυλων εν μαχεμας και εκοπιασεν ο λαος σφοδρα
32 So they pounced upon the spoil and took sheep, oxen and calves, slaughtering them on the ground and eating the flesh with blood.	32 και εκλιθη ο λαος εις τα σκυλα και ελαβεν ο λαος ποιμνια και βουκολια και τεκνα βοων και εσφαξεν επι την γην και ησθιεν ο λαος συν τω αιματι
33 Informed that the people were sinning against the LORD by eating the flesh with blood, Saul said: "You have broken faith. Roll a large stone here for me."	33 και απηγγελη τω σαουλ λεγοντες ημαρτηκεν ο λαος τω κυριω φαγων συν τω αιματι και ειπεν σαουλ εν γεθθεμ κυλισατε μοι λιθον ενταυθα μεγαν
34 He continued: "Mingle with the people and tell each of them to bring his ox or his sheep to me. Slaughter it here and then eat, but you must not sin against the LORD by eating the flesh with blood." So everyone brought to the LORD whatever ox he had seized, and they slaughtered them there;	34 και ειπεν σαουλ διασπαρητε εν τω λαω και ειπατε αυτοις προσαγαγειν ενταυθα εκαστος τον μοσχον αυτου και εκαστος το προβατον αυτου και σφαζετω επι τουτου και ου μη αμαρτητε τω κυριω του εσθιειν συν τω αιματι και προσηγεν πας ο λαος εκαστος το εν τη χειρι αυτου και εσφαζον εκει
35 and Saul built an altar to the LORD--this was the first time he built an altar to the LORD.	35 και ωκοδομησεν εκει σαουλ θυσιαστηριον τω κυριω τουτο ηρξατο σαουλ οικοδομησαι θυσιαστηριον τω κυριω
36 Then Saul said, "Let us go down in pursuit of the Philistines by night, to plunder among them until daybreak and to kill them all off." They replied, "Do what you think best." But the priest said, "Let us consult God."	36 και ειπεν σαουλ καταβωμεν οπισω των αλλοφυλων την νυκτα και διαρπασωμεν εν αυτοις εως διαφαυση η ημερα και μη υπολιπωμεν εν αυτοις ανδρα και ειπαν παν το αγαθον ενωπιον σου ποιει και ειπεν ο ιερευς προσελθωμεν ενταυθα προς τον θεον
37 So Saul inquired of God: "Shall I go down in pursuit of the Philistines? Will you deliver them into the power of Israel?" But he received no answer on this occasion.	37 και επηρωτησεν σαουλ τον θεον ει καταβω οπισω των αλλοφυλων ει παραδωσεις αυτους εις χειρας ισραηλ και ουκ απεκριθη αυτω εν τη ημερα εκεινη
38 Saul then said, "Come here, all officers of the army. We must investigate and find out how this sin was committed today.	38 και ειπεν σαουλ προσαγαγετε ενταυθα πασας τας γωνιας του ισραηλ και γνωτε και ιδετε εν τινι γεγονεν η αμαρτια αυτη σημερον
39 As the LORD lives who has given victory to Israel, even if my son Jonathan has committed it, he shall surely die!" But none of the people answered him.	39 οτι ζη κυριος ο σωσας τον ισραηλ οτι εαν αποκριθη κατα ιωναθαν του υιου μου θανατω αποθανειται και ουκ ην ο αποκρινομενος εκ παντος του λαου
40 So he said to all Israel, "Stand on one side, and I and my son Jonathan will stand on the other." The people responded, "Do what you think best."	40 και ειπεν παντι ισραηλ υμεις εσεσθε εις δουλειαν και εγω και ιωναθαν ο υιος μου εσομεθα εις δουλειαν και ειπεν ο λαος προς σαουλ το αγαθον ενωπιον σου ποιει
41 And Saul said to the LORD, the God of Israel: "Why did you not answer your servant this time? If the blame for this resides in me or my son Jonathan, LORD, God of Israel, respond with Urim; but if this guilt is in your people Israel, respond with Thummim." Jonathan and Saul were designated, and the people went free.	41 και ειπεν σαουλ κυριε ο θεος ισραηλ τι οτι ουκ απεκριθης τω δουλω σου σημερον ει εν εμοι η εν ιωναθαν τω υιω μου η αδικια κυριε ο θεος ισραηλ δος δηλους και εαν ταδε ειπης εν τω λαω σου ισραηλ δος δη οσιοτητα και κληρουται ιωναθαν και σαουλ και ο λαος εξηλθεν
42 Saul then said, "Cast lots between me and my son Jonathan." And Jonathan was designated.	42 και ειπεν σαουλ βαλετε ανα μεσον εμου και ανα μεσον ιωναθαν του υιου μου ον αν κατακληρωσηται κυριος αποθανετω και ειπεν ο λαος προς σαουλ ουκ εστιν το ρημα τουτο και κατεκρατησεν σαουλ του λαου και βαλλουσιν ανα μεσον αυτου και ανα μεσον ιωναθαν του υιου αυτου και κατακληρουται ιωναθαν
43 Saul said to Jonathan, "Tell me what you have done." Jonathan replied, "I only tasted a little honey from the end of the staff I was holding. Am I to die for this?"	43 και ειπεν σαουλ προς ιωναθαν απαγγειλον μοι τι πεποιηκας και απηγγειλεν αυτω ιωναθαν και ειπεν γευσαμενος εγευσαμην εν ακρω τω σκηπτρω τω εν τη χειρι μου βραχυ μελι ιδου εγω αποθνησκω
44 Saul said, "May God do thus and so to me if you do not indeed die, Jonathan!"	44 και ειπεν αυτω σαουλ ταδε ποιησαι μοι ο θεος και ταδε προσθειη οτι θανατω αποθανη σημερον
45 But the army said to Saul: "Is Jonathan to die, though it was he who brought Israel this great victory? This must not be! As the LORD lives, not a single hair of his head shall fall to the ground, for God was with him in what he did today!" Thus the soldiers were able to rescue Jonathan from death.	45 και ειπεν ο λαος προς σαουλ ει σημερον θανατωθησεται ο ποιησας την σωτηριαν την μεγαλην ταυτην εν ισραηλ ζη κυριος ει πεσειται της τριχος της κεφαλης αυτου επι την γην οτι ο λαος του θεου εποιησεν την ημεραν ταυτην και προσηυξατο ο λαος περι ιωναθαν εν τη ημερα εκεινη και ουκ απεθανεν
46 After that Saul gave up the pursuit of the Philistines, who returned to their own territory.	46 και ανεβη σαουλ απο οπισθεν των αλλοφυλων και οι αλλοφυλοι απηλθον εις τον τοπον αυτων
47 After taking over the kingship of Israel, Saul waged war on all their surrounding enemies--Moab, the Ammonites, Aram, Beth-rehob, the king of Zobah, and the Philistines. Wherever he turned, he was successful	47 και σαουλ κατακληρουται εργον επι ισραηλ και επολεμει κυκλω παντας τους εχθρους αυτου εις τον μωαβ και εις τους υιους αμμων και εις τους υιους εδωμ και εις τον βαιθεωρ και εις βασιλεα σουβα και εις τους αλλοφυλους ου αν εστραφη εσωζετο
48 and fought bravely. He defeated Amalek and delivered Israel from the hands of those who were plundering them.	48 και εποιησεν δυναμιν και επαταξεν τον αμαληκ και εξειλατο τον ισραηλ εκ χειρος των καταπατουντων αυτον
49 The sons of Saul were Jonathan, Ishvi, and Malchishua; his two daughters were named, the elder, Merob, and the younger, Michal.	49 και ησαν υιοι σαουλ ιωναθαν και ιεσσιου και μελχισα και ονοματα των δυο θυγατερων αυτου ονομα τη πρωτοτοκω μεροβ και ονομα τη δευτερα μελχολ
50 Saul's wife, who was named Ahinoam, was the daughter of Ahimaaz. The name of his general was Abner, son of Saul's uncle, Ner;	50 και ονομα τη γυναικι αυτου αχινοομ θυγατηρ αχιμαας και ονομα τω αρχιστρατηγω αβεννηρ υιος νηρ υιου οικειου σαουλ
51 Kish, Saul's father, and Ner, Abner's father, were sons of Abiel.	51 και κις πατηρ σαουλ και νηρ πατηρ αβεννηρ υιος ιαμιν υιου αβιηλ
52 An unremitting war was waged against the Philistines during Saul's lifetime. When Saul saw any strong or brave man, he took him into his service.	52 και ην ο πολεμος κραταιος επι τους αλλοφυλους πασας τας ημερας σαουλ και ιδων σαουλ παντα ανδρα δυνατον και παντα ανδρα υιον δυναμεως και συνηγαγεν αυτους προς αυτον
