1 Samuel 30

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	GREEK BIBLE
1 Before David and his men reached Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had raided the Negeb and Ziklag, had stormed the city, and had set it on fire.	1 Και οτε ο Δαβιδ και οι ανδρες αυτου εισηλθον εις Σικλαγ την τριτην ημεραν, οι Αμαληκιται ειχον καμει εισδρομην εις το μεσημβρινον και εις Σικλαγ, και ειχον παταξει την Σικλαγ και κατακαυσει αυτην εν πυρι?
2 They had taken captive the women and all who were in the city, young and old, killing no one; they had carried them off when they left.	2 και ειχον αιχμαλωτισει τας γυναικας τας εν αυτη, απο μικρου εως μεγαλου? δεν εθανατωσαν ουδενα, αλλα ελαβον αυτους και υπηγαν εις την οδον αυτων.
3 David and his men arrived at the city to find it burned to the ground and their wives, sons and daughters taken captive.	3 Ο δε Δαβιδ και οι ανδρες αυτου ηλθον εις την πολιν, και ιδου, ητο πυρπολημενη? και αι γυναικες αυτων και οι υιοι αυτων και αι θυγατερες αυτων ηχμαλωτισμενοι.
4 Then David and those who were with him wept aloud until they could weep no more.	4 Τοτε υψωσεν ο Δαβιδ και ο λαος ο μετ' αυτου την φωνην αυτων και εκλαυσαν, εωσου δεν εμεινε πλεον εν αυτοις δυναμις να κλαιωσι.
5 David's two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail, the widow of Nabal from Carmel, had also been carried off with the rest.	5 Και αμφοτεραι αι γυναικες του Δαβιδ ηχμαλωτισθησαν, Αχινοαμ η Ιεζραηλιτις, και Αβιγαια η γυνη Ναβαλ του Καρμηλιτου.
6 Now David found himself in great difficulty, for the men spoke of stoning him, so bitter were they over the fate of their sons and daughters. But with renewed trust in the LORD his God,	6 Και εθλιβη ο Δαβιδ σφοδρα? διοτι ο λαος ελεγε να λιθοβολησωσιν αυτον, επειδη η ψυχη παντος του λαου ητο καταπικρος, εκαστος δια τους υιους αυτου και δια τας θυγατερας αυτου? ο Δαβιδ ομως εκραταιωθη εν Κυριω τω Θεω αυτου.
7 David said to Abiathar, the priest, son of Ahimelech, "Bring me the ephod!" When Abiathar brought him the ephod,	7 Και ειπεν ο Δαβιδ προς Αβιαθαρ τον ιερεα, υιον του Αχιμελεχ, Φερε μοι ενταυθα, παρακαλω, το εφοδ. Και εφερεν ο Αβιαθαρ το εφοδ προς τον Δαβιδ.
8 David inquired of the LORD, "Shall I pursue these raiders? Can I overtake them?" The LORD answered him, "Go in pursuit, for you shall surely overtake them and effect a rescue."	8 Και ηρωτησεν ο Δαβιδ τον Κυριον, λεγων, Να καταδιωξω οπισθεν τουτων των ληστων; θελω προφθασει αυτους; Ο δε ειπε προς αυτον, Καταδιωξον? διοτι θελεις βεβαιως προφθασει και αφευκτως θελεις ελευθερωσει παντα.
9 So David went off with his six hundred men and came as far as the Wadi Besor, where those who were to remain behind halted.	9 Τοτε υπηγεν ο Δαβιδ, αυτος και οι εξακοσιοι ανδρες οι μετ' αυτου, και ηλθον εως του χειμαρρου Βοσορ, οπου οι απομενοντες εσταθησαν.
10 David continued the pursuit with four hundred men, but two hundred were too exhausted to cross the Wadi Besor and remained behind.	10 Ο δε Δαβιδ, αυτος και τετρακοσιοι ανδρες, κατεδιωκον, επειδη εμειναν οπισω διακοσιοι, οιτινες αποκαμοντες δεν ηδυναντο να διαβωσι τον χειμαρρον Βοσορ.
11 An Egyptian was found in the open country and brought to David. He was provided with food, which he ate, and given water to drink;	11 Και ευρηκαν ανθρωπον Αιγυπτιον εν αγρω και εφεραν αυτον προς τον Δαβιδ? και εδωκαν εις αυτον αρτον, και εφαγε, και εποτισαν αυτον υδωρ?
12 a cake of pressed figs and two cakes of pressed raisins were also offered to him. When he had eaten, he revived; he had not taken food nor drunk water for three days and three nights.	12 και εδωκαν εις αυτον τμημα πηττας συκων και δυο βοτρυς σταφιδων? και εφαγε, και επανηλθε το πνευμα αυτου εις αυτον? διοτι δεν ειχε φαγει αρτον ουδε ειχε πιει υδωρ, τρεις ημερας και τρεις νυκτας.
13 Then David asked him, "To whom do you belong, and where do you come from?" He replied: "I am an Egyptian, the slave of an Amalekite. My master abandoned me because I fell sick three days ago today.	13 Και ειπε προς αυτον ο Δαβιδ, Τινος εισαι; και ποθεν εισαι; Και ειπεν, Ειμαι νεος Αιγυπτιος, δουλος τινος Αμαληκιτου? και με αφηκεν ο κυριος μου, επειδη ηρρωστησα τρεις ημερας τωρα?
14 We raided the Negeb of the Cherethites, the territory of Judah, and the Negeb of Caleb; and we set Ziklag on fire."	14 ημεις εκαμαμεν εισδρομην εις το μεσημβρινον των Χερεθαιων και εις τα μερη της Ιουδαιας και εις το μεσημβρινον του Χαλεβ? και επυρπολησαμεν την Σικλαγ.
15 David then asked him, "Will you lead me down to this raiding party?" He answered, "Swear to me by God that you will not kill me or deliver me to my master, and I will lead you to the raiding party."	15 Και ειπε προς αυτον ο Δαβιδ, Δυνασαι να με οδηγησης κατω προς τους ληστας τουτους; Ο δε ειπεν, Ομοσον μοι εις τον Θεον, οτι δεν θελεις με θανατωσει ουτε θελεις με παραδωσει εις την χειρα του κυριου μου, και θελω σε οδηγησει κατω προς τουτους τους ληστας.
16 He did lead them, and there were the Amalekites scattered all over the ground, eating, drinking, and in a festive mood because of all the rich booty they had taken from the land of the Philistines and from the land of Judah.	16 Και οτε ωδηγησεν αυτον κατω, ιδου, ησαν διεσκορπισμενοι επι το προσωπον παντος του τοπου, τρωγοντες και πινοντες και χορευοντες, δια παντα τα λαφυρα τα μεγαλα, τα οποια ελαβον εκ της γης των Φιλισταιων και εκ της γης του Ιουδα.
17 From dawn to sundown David attacked them, putting them under the ban so that none escaped except four hundred young men, who mounted their camels and fled.	17 Και επαταξεν αυτους ο Δαβιδ απο της αυγης μεχρι της εσπερας της επιουσης? και δεν διεσωθη ουδε εις εξ αυτων, πλην τετρακοσιων νεων, οιτινες εκαθηντο επι καμηλων και εφυγον.
18 David recovered everything the Amalekites had taken, and rescued his two wives.	18 Και ηλευθερωσεν ο Δαβιδ οσα ηρπασαν οι Αμαληκιται? και τας δυο γυναικας αυτου ηλευθερωσεν ο Δαβιδ.
19 Nothing was missing, small or great, booty or sons or daughters, of all that the Amalekites had taken. David brought back everything.	19 Και δεν ελειψεν εις αυτους ουτε μικρον ουτε μεγα, ουτε υιοι ουτε θυγατερες ουτε λαφυρον ουτε ουδεν εκ των οσα ηρπασαν απ' αυτων? τα παντα επανελαβεν ο Δαβιδ.
20 Moreover, David took all the sheep and oxen, and as they drove these before him, they shouted, "This is David's spoil!"	20 Και ελαβεν ο Δαβιδ παντα τα προβατα και τους βοας, και φεροντες αυτα εμπροσθεν των αλλων κτηνων, ελεγον, Ταυτα ειναι τα λαφυρα του Δαβιδ.
21 When David came to the two hundred men who had been too exhausted to follow him, and whom he had left behind at the Wadi Besor, they came out to meet David and the men with him. On nearing them David greeted them.	21 Και ηλθεν ο Δαβιδ προς τους διακοσιους ανδρας, οιτινες ειχον αποκαμει ωστε δεν ηδυνηθησαν να ακολουθησωσι τον Δαβιδ, οθεν εκαθισεν αυτους εις τον χειμαρρον Βοσορ? και εξηλθον εις συναντησιν του Δαβιδ και εις συναντησιν του λαου του μετ' αυτου? και οτε επλησιασεν ο Δαβιδ εις τον λαον, εχαιρετησεν αυτους.
22 But all the stingy and worthless men among those who had accompanied David spoke up to say, "Since they did not accompany us, we will not give them anything from the booty, except to each man his wife and children. Let them take those along and be on their way."	22 Και απεκριθηααν παντες οι πονηροι και διεστραμμενοι εκ των ανδρων, οιτινες υπηγαν μετα του Δαβιδ, και ειπον, Επειδη ουτοι δεν ηλθον μεθ' ημων, δεν θελομεν δωσει εις αυτους εκ των λαφυρων, τα οποια ανελαβομεν, παρα εις εκαστον την γυναικα αυτου και τα τεκνα αυτου? και ας λαβωσιν αυτα και ας φυγωσιν.
23 But David said: "You must not do this, my brothers, after what the LORD has given us. He has protected us and delivered into our grip the band that came against us.	23 Αλλ' ο Δαβιδ ειπε, Δεν θελετε καμει ουτως, αδελφοι μου, εις εκεινα τα οποια ο Κυριος εδωκεν εις ημας, οστις εφυλαξεν ημας και παρεδωκεν εις την χειρα ημων τους ληστας τους ελθοντας εναντιον ημων?
24 Who could agree with this proposal of yours? Rather, the share of the one who goes down to battle and that of the one who remains with the baggage shall be the same; they shall share alike."	24 και τις θελει σας εισακουσει εις ταυτην την υποθεσιν; αλλα κατα την μεριδα του καταβαινοντος εις τον πολεμον, ουτω θελει εισθαι η μερις του καθημενου πλησιον της αποσκευης? ισα θελουσι μοιραζεσθαι.
25 And from that day forward he made it a law and a custom in Israel, as it still is today.	25 Και εγεινεν ουτως απ' εκεινης της ημερας και εις το εξης? και εκαμε τουτο νομον και διαταγμα εν τω Ισραηλ εως της ημερας ταυτης.
26 When David came to Ziklag, he sent part of the spoil to the elders of Judah, city by city, saying, "This is a gift to you from the spoil of the enemies of the LORD":	26 Οτε δε ηλθεν ο Δαβιδ εις Σικλαγ, επεμψεν εκ των λαφυρων προς τους πρεσβυτερους Ιουδα τους φιλους αυτου, λεγων, Ιδου εις εσας ευλογια, εκ των λαφυρων των εχθρων του Κυριου.
27 to those in Bethel, to those in Ramoth-negeb, to those in Jattir,	27 προς τους εν Βαιθηλ, και προς τους εν Ραμωθ τη μεσημβρινη, και προς τους εν Ιαθειρ,
28 to those in Aroer, to those in Siphmoth, to those in Eshtemoa,	28 και προς τους εν Αροηρ, και προς τους εν Σιφμωθ, και προς τους εν Εσθεμωα,
29 to those in Racal, to those in the Jerahmeelite cities, to those in the Kenite cities,	29 και προς τους εν Ραχαλ, και προς τους εν ταις πολεσι των Ιεραμεηλιτων, και προς τους εν ταις πολεσι των Κεναιων,
30 to those in Hormah, to those in Borashan, to those in Athach,	30 και προς τους εν Ορμα, και προς τους εν Χωρ-ασαν, και προς τους εν Αθαχ,
31 to those in Hebron, and to all the places frequented by David and his men.	31 και προς τους εν Χεβρων, και προς παντας τους τοπους, εις τους οποιους ο Δαβιδ περιηρχετο, αυτος και οι ανδρες αυτου.
