2 Samuel 23

NEW JERUSALEM	LXX
1 These are the last words of David: Thus speaks David son of Jesse, thus speaks the man raised toeminence, the anointed of the God of Jacob, the singer of the songs of Israel:	1 και ουτοι οι λογοι δαυιδ οι εσχατοι πιστος δαυιδ υιος ιεσσαι και πιστος ανηρ ον ανεστησεν κυριος επι χριστον θεου ιακωβ και ευπρεπεις ψαλμοι ισραηλ
2 The spirit of Yahweh speaks through me, his word is on my tongue;	2 πνευμα κυριου ελαλησεν εν εμοι και ο λογος αυτου επι γλωσσης μου
3 the God of Jacob has spoken, the Rock of Israel has said to me: He whose rule is upright on earth,who rules in the fear of God,	3 λεγει ο θεος ισραηλ εμοι ελαλησεν φυλαξ ισραηλ παραβολην ειπον εν ανθρωπω πως κραταιωσητε φοβον θεου
4 is like the morning light at sunrise (on a cloudless morning) making the grass of the earth sparkle afterrain.	4 και εν θεω φωτι πρωιας ανατειλαι ηλιος το πρωι ου παρηλθεν εκ φεγγους και ως εξ υετου χλοης απο γης
5 Yes, my House stands firm with God: he has made an eternal covenant with me, al in order, welassured; does he not bring to fruition my every victory and desire?	5 ου γαρ ουτως ο οικος μου μετα ισχυρου διαθηκην γαρ αιωνιον εθετο μοι ετοιμην εν παντι καιρω πεφυλαγμενην οτι πασα σωτηρια μου και παν θελημα οτι ου μη βλαστηση ο παρανομος
6 But men of Belial he rejects like thorns, for these are never taken up in the hand:	6 ωσπερ ακανθα εξωσμενη παντες αυτοι οτι ου χειρι λημφθησονται
7 no one touches them except with a pitchfork or spear-shaft, and then only to burn them to nothing!	7 και ανηρ ου κοπιασει εν αυτοις και πληρες σιδηρου και ξυλον δορατος και εν πυρι καυσει καυθησονται αισχυνη αυτων
8 These are the names of David's champions: Ishbaal the Hachmonite leader of the Three; it was hewho brandished his spear over eight hundred men whom he had kil ed at one time.	8 ταυτα τα ονοματα των δυνατων δαυιδ ιεβοσθε ο χαναναιος αρχων του τριτου εστιν αδινων ο ασωναιος ουτος εσπασατο την ρομφαιαν αυτου επι οκτακοσιους τραυματιας εις απαξ
9 Next, there was Eleazar son of Dodo, the Ahohite, one of the three champions. He was with David atPas-Dammim when the Philistines mustered for battle there and the men of Israel had disbanded.	9 και μετ' αυτον ελεαζαρ υιος πατραδελφου αυτου υιος σουσιτου εν τοις τρισιν δυνατοις ουτος ην μετα δαυιδ εν σερραν και εν τω ονειδισαι αυτον εν τοις αλλοφυλοις συνηχθησαν εκει εις πολεμον και ανεβησαν ανηρ ισραηλ
10 But he stood his ground and cut down the Philistines until his hand was so stiff that he could not letgo of the sword. Yahweh brought about a great victory that day, and the people rallied behind him, although onlyto plunder.	10 αυτος ανεστη και επαταξεν εν τοις αλλοφυλοις εως ου εκοπιασεν η χειρ αυτου και προσεκολληθη η χειρ αυτου προς την μαχαιραν και εποιησεν κυριος σωτηριαν μεγαλην εν τη ημερα εκεινη και ο λαος εκαθητο οπισω αυτου πλην εκδιδυσκειν
11 Next, there was Shamma son of Elah, the Hararite. The Philistines had mustered at Lehi. There wasa field ful of lentils there; the people fled from the Philistines,	11 και μετ' αυτον σαμαια υιος ασα ο αρουχαιος και συνηχθησαν οι αλλοφυλοι εις θηρια και ην εκει μερις του αγρου πληρης φακου και ο λαος εφυγεν εκ προσωπου αλλοφυλων
12 but he took his stand in the middle of the field, held it, and cut down the Philistines; and Yahwehbrought about a great victory.	12 και εστηλωθη εν μεσω της μεριδος και εξειλατο αυτην και επαταξεν τους αλλοφυλους και εποιησεν κυριος σωτηριαν μεγαλην
13 Three members of the Thirty went down at the beginning of the harvest and came to David at theCave of Adullam while a company of Philistines was encamped in the Val ey of the Rephaim.	13 και κατεβησαν τρεις απο των τριακοντα και ηλθον εις κασων προς δαυιδ εις το σπηλαιον οδολλαμ και ταγμα των αλλοφυλων παρενεβαλον εν τη κοιλαδι ραφαιμ
14 David was then in the stronghold, and there was a Philistine garrison in Bethlehem.	14 και δαυιδ τοτε εν τη περιοχη και το υποστημα των αλλοφυλων τοτε εν βαιθλεεμ
15 Longingly David said, 'If only someone would fetch me a drink of water from the wel that stands bythe gate at Bethlehem!'	15 και επεθυμησεν δαυιδ και ειπεν τις ποτιει με υδωρ εκ του λακκου του εν βαιθλεεμ του εν τη πυλη το δε συστημα των αλλοφυλων τοτε εν βαιθλεεμ
16 At this, the three champions, forcing their way through the Philistine camp, drew water from the welthat stands by the gate of Bethlehem and, taking it away, presented it to David. He, however, would not drinkany of it, but poured it out as a libation to Yahweh.	16 και διερρηξαν οι τρεις δυνατοι εν τη παρεμβολη των αλλοφυλων και υδρευσαντο υδωρ εκ του λακκου του εν βαιθλεεμ του εν τη πυλη και ελαβαν και παρεγενοντο προς δαυιδ και ουκ ηθελησεν πιειν αυτο και εσπεισεν αυτο τω κυριω
17 'Yahweh preserve me', he said, 'from doing such a thing! This is the blood of men who went at risk oftheir lives.' That was why he would not drink. Such were the deeds of these three champions.	17 και ειπεν ιλεως μοι κυριε του ποιησαι τουτο ει αιμα των ανδρων των πορευθεντων εν ταις ψυχαις αυτων πιομαι και ουκ ηθελησεν πιειν αυτο ταυτα εποιησαν οι τρεις δυνατοι
18 Abishai, brother of Joab and son of Zeruiah, was leader of the Thirty. It was he who brandished hisspear over three hundred men whom he had kil ed, winning himself a name among the Thirty.	18 και αβεσσα αδελφος ιωαβ υιος σαρουιας αυτος αρχων εν τοις τρισιν και αυτος εξηγειρεν το δορυ αυτου επι τριακοσιους τραυματιας και αυτω ονομα εν τοις τρισιν
19 He was a most il ustrious member of the Thirty and became their captain, but he was not equal to theThree.	19 εκ των τριων εκεινων ενδοξος και εγενετο αυτοις εις αρχοντα και εως των τριων ουκ ηλθεν
20 Benaiah of Kabzeel was the son of Jehoiada and hero of many exploits. He it was who slaughteredtwo formidable Moabites and, one snowy day, climbed down and slaughtered the lion in the storage-wel .	20 και βαναιας υιος ιωδαε ανηρ αυτος πολλοστος εργοις απο καβεσεηλ και αυτος επαταξεν τους δυο υιους αριηλ του μωαβ και αυτος κατεβη και επαταξε τον λεοντα εν μεσω του λακκου εν τη ημερα της χιονος
21 He also slaughtered an Egyptian of great stature. The Egyptian was armed with a spear, but he tookhim on with a staff, tore the spear from the Egyptian's hand and kil ed the man with it.	21 αυτος επαταξεν τον ανδρα τον αιγυπτιον ανδρα ορατον εν δε τη χειρι του αιγυπτιου δορυ ως ξυλον διαβαθρας και κατεβη προς αυτον εν ραβδω και ηρπασεν το δορυ εκ της χειρος του αιγυπτιου και απεκτεινεν αυτον εν τω δορατι αυτου
22 Such were the exploits of Benaiah son of Jehoiada, winning him a name among the thirty champions.	22 ταυτα εποιησεν βαναιας υιος ιωδαε και αυτω ονομα εν τοις τρισιν τοις δυνατοις
23 He was a most il ustrious member of the Thirty, but he was not equal to the Three. David put him incommand of his bodyguard.	23 εκ των τριων ενδοξος και προς τους τρεις ουκ ηλθεν και εταξεν αυτον δαυιδ εις τας ακοας αυτου
24 Asahel brother of Joab was one of the Thirty; Elhanan son of Dodo, of Bethlehem;	24 και ταυτα τα ονοματα των δυνατων δαυιδ βασιλεως ασαηλ αδελφος ιωαβ ουτος εν τοις τριακοντα ελεαναν υιος δουδι πατραδελφου αυτου εν βαιθλεεμ
