1 Samuel 29

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	GREEK BIBLE
1 Now the Philistines had mustered all their forces in Aphek, and the Israelites were encamped at the spring of Harod near Jezreel.	1 Συνηθροισαν δε οι Φιλισταιοι παντα τα στρατευματα αυτων εις Αφεκ? και οι Ισραηλιται εστρατοπεδευσαν παρα την πηγην την εν Ιεζραελ.
2 As the Philistine lords were marching their groups of a hundred and a thousand, David and his men were marching in the rear guard with Achish.	2 Και οι σατραπαι των Φιλισταιων διεβαινον κατα εκατονταδας και χιλιαδας? ο Δαβιδ δε και οι ανδρες αυτου διεβαινον κατοπισθεν μετα του Αγχους.
3 The Philistine chiefs asked, "What are those Hebrews doing here?" And Achish answered them: "Why, that is David, the officer of Saul, king of Israel. He has been with me now for a year or two, and I have no fault to find with him from the day he came over to me until the present."	3 Και ειπον οι στρατηγοι των Φιλισταιων, Τι θελουσιν ουτοι οι Εβραιοι; Και ειπεν ο Αγχους προς τους στρατηγους των Φιλισταιων, Δεν ειναι ουτος ο Δαβιδ, ο δουλος του Σαουλ βασιλεως του Ισραηλ, οστις εσταθη μετ' εμου ταυτας τας ημερας η τουτους τους χρονους; και δεν ευρηκα εν αυτω ουδεν σφαλμα, αφου ενεπεσεν εις εμε εως της ημερας ταυτης.
4 But the Philistine chiefs were angered at this and said to him: "Send that man back! Let him return to the place you picked out for him. He must not go down into battle with us, lest during the battle he become our enemy. For how else can he win back his master's favor, if not with the heads of these men of ours?	4 Και ηγανακτησαν κατ' αυτου οι στρατηγοι των Φιλισταιων? και ειπον προς αυτον οι στρατηγοι των Φιλισταιων, Αποπεμψον τον ανθρωπον τουτον, και ας επιστρεψη εις τον τοπον αυτου, τον οποιον διωρισας εις αυτον, και ας μη καταβη μεθ' ημων εις την μαχην, μηποτε γεινη εν τη μαχη πολεμιος ημων? διοτι πως ηθελε διαλλαγη ουτος μετα του κυριου αυτου; ουχι με τας κεφαλας των ανδρων τουτων;
5 Is this not the David of whom they sing during their dances, 'Saul has slain his thousands, but David his ten thousands'?"	5 δεν ειναι ουτος ο Δαβιδ, περι του οποιον εψαλλον αμοιβαιως εν τοις χοροις, λεγοντες, Ο Σαουλ επαταξε τας χιλιαδας αυτου, Και ο Δαβιδ τας μυριαδας αυτου;
6 So Achish summoned David and said to him: "As the LORD lives, you are honest, and I should be pleased to have you active with me in the camp, for I have found nothing wrong with you from the day of your arrival to this day. But you are not welcome to the lords.	6 Τοτε εκαλεσεν ο Αγχους τον Δαβιδ και ειπε προς αυτον, Ζη Κυριος, βεβαιως εσταθης ευθυς, και η εξοδος σου και η εισοδος σου μετ' εμου εν τω στρατοπεδω ειναι αρεστη εμπροσθεν των οφθαλμων μου? διοτι κακον δεν ευρηκα εν σοι, αφ' ης ημερας ηλθες προς εμε εως της ημερας ταυτης? αλλ' ομως εις τους οφθαλμους των σατραπων δεν εισαι αρεστος?
7 Withdraw peaceably, now, and do nothing that might displease the Philistine lords."	7 τωρα λοιπον επιστρεψον και υπαγε εν ειρηνη, δια να μη φερης δυσαρεσκειαν εις τους σατραπας των Φιλισταιων.
8 But David said to Achish: "What have I done? Or what have you against your servant from the first day I have been with you to this day, that I cannot go to fight against the enemies of my lord the king?"	8 Και ειπεν ο Δαβιδ προς τον Αγχους, Αλλα τι εκαμα; και τι ευρηκας εν τω δουλω σου αφ' ης ημερας ειμαι ενωπιον σου, εως της ημερας ταυτης, ωστε να μη υπαγω να πολεμησω εναντιον των εχθρων του κυριου μου του βασιλεως;
9 "You know," Achish answered David, "that you are acceptable to me. But the Philistine chiefs have determined you are not to go up with us to battle.	9 Και απεκριθη ο Αγχους και ειπε προς τον Δαβιδ, Εξευρω οτι εισαι αρεστος εις τους οφθαλμους μου, ως αγγελος Θεου? πλην οι σατραπαι των Φιλισταιων ειπον, Δεν θελει αναβη μεθ' ημων εις την μαχην?
10 So the first thing tomorrow, you and your lord's servants who came with you, go to the place I picked out for you. Do not decide to take umbrage at this; you are as acceptable to me as an angel of God. But make an early morning start, as soon as it grows light, and be on your way."	10 τωρα λοιπον σηκωθητι ενωρις το πρωι, μετα των δουλων του κυριου σου, των ελθοντων μετα σου? και καθως σηκωθητε ενωρις το πρωι, ευθυς οταν φεγξη, αναχωρησατε.
11 So David and his men left early in the morning to return to the land of the Philistines. The Philistines, however, went on up to Jezreel.	11 Και εσηκωθη ενωρις το πρωι ο Δαβιδ και οι ανδρες αυτου, δια να αναχωρησωσι, να επιστρεψωσιν εις την γην των Φιλισταιων. Οι δε Φιλισταιοι ανεβησαν εις Ιεζραελ.
