2 Samuel 4

NEW JERUSALEM	LXX
1 When Saul's son heard that Abner had died at Hebron, his heart failed him, and al Israel was alarmed.	1 και ηκουσεν μεμφιβοσθε υιος σαουλ οτι τεθνηκεν αβεννηρ εν χεβρων και εξελυθησαν αι χειρες αυτου και παντες οι ανδρες ισραηλ παρειθησαν
2 Now, Saul's son had two freebooting chieftains; one was cal ed Baanah, the other Rechab. They werethe sons of Rimmon of Beeroth, and Benjaminites -- for Beeroth is regarded as belonging to Benjamin.	2 και δυο ανδρες ηγουμενοι συστρεμματων τω μεμφιβοσθε υιω σαουλ ονομα τω ενι βαανα και ονομα τω δευτερω ρηχαβ υιοι ρεμμων του βηρωθαιου εκ των υιων βενιαμιν οτι βηρωθ ελογιζετο τοις υιοις βενιαμιν
3 The people of Beeroth had taken refuge in Gittaim, where they have remained to this day as residentforeigners.	3 και απεδρασαν οι βηρωθαιοι εις γεθθαιμ και ησαν εκει παροικουντες εως της ημερας ταυτης
4 Jonathan son of Saul had a son with crippled feet. He was five years old when the news about Saul andJonathan came from Jezreel. His nurse picked him up and fled but, as she hurried away, he fel and was lamed.His name was Meribbaal.	4 και τω ιωναθαν υιω σαουλ υιος πεπληγως τους ποδας υιος ετων πεντε ουτος εν τω ελθειν την αγγελιαν σαουλ και ιωναθαν του υιου αυτου εξ ιεζραελ και ηρεν αυτον η τιθηνος αυτου και εφυγεν και εγενετο εν τω σπευδειν αυτην και αναχωρειν και επεσεν και εχωλανθη και ονομα αυτω μεμφιβοσθε
5 The sons of Rimmon of Beeroth, Rechab and Baanah, set out; they came to Ishbaal's house at thehottest part of the day when he was taking his midday rest.	5 και επορευθησαν υιοι ρεμμων του βηρωθαιου ρεκχα και βαανα και εισηλθον εν τω καυματι της ημερας εις οικον μεμφιβοσθε και αυτος εκαθευδεν εν τη κοιτη της μεσημβριας
6 The woman who kept the door had been cleaning wheat and had drowsed off to sleep.	6 και ιδου η θυρωρος του οικου εκαθαιρεν πυρους και ενυσταξεν και εκαθευδεν και ρεκχα και βαανα οι αδελφοι διελαθον
7 Rechab and his brother Baanah stole past her and entered the house, where he was lying on his bed inhis bedroom. They struck him and kil ed him, then cut off his head and, taking the head with them, travel ed alnight by way of the Arabah.	7 και εισηλθον εις τον οικον και μεμφιβοσθε εκαθευδεν επι της κλινης αυτου εν τω κοιτωνι αυτου και τυπτουσιν αυτον και θανατουσιν και αφαιρουσιν την κεφαλην αυτου και ελαβον την κεφαλην αυτου και απηλθον οδον την κατα δυσμας ολην την νυκτα
8 They brought Ishbaal's head to David at Hebron. 'Here', they said to the king, 'is the head of Ishbaalson of Saul, your enemy, who meant to take your life. Yahweh has avenged my lord the king today on Saul andon his offspring.'	8 και ηνεγκαν την κεφαλην μεμφιβοσθε τω δαυιδ εις χεβρων και ειπαν προς τον βασιλεα ιδου η κεφαλη μεμφιβοσθε υιου σαουλ του εχθρου σου ος εζητει την ψυχην σου και εδωκεν κυριος τω κυριω βασιλει εκδικησιν των εχθρων αυτου ως η ημερα αυτη εκ σαουλ του εχθρου σου και εκ του σπερματος αυτου
9 But David answered Rechab and his brother Baanah, the sons of Rimmon, by saying, 'As Yahwehlives, who has rescued me from every danger,	9 και απεκριθη δαυιδ τω ρεκχα και τω βαανα αδελφω αυτου υιοις ρεμμων του βηρωθαιου και ειπεν αυτοις ζη κυριος ος ελυτρωσατο την ψυχην μου εκ πασης θλιψεως
10 when someone told me, "Saul is dead!" supposing himself to be bringing me good news, I seized andput him to death at Ziklag, and that was how I rewarded him for his news!	10 οτι ο απαγγειλας μοι οτι τεθνηκεν σαουλ και αυτος ην ως ευαγγελιζομενος ενωπιον μου και κατεσχον αυτον και απεκτεινα εν σεκελακ ω εδει με δουναι ευαγγελια
11 How much more when bandits have kil ed an upright man in his house, and on his bed! Am I not todemand an account of his blood from you, and rid the earth of you?'	11 και νυν ανδρες πονηροι απεκταγκασιν ανδρα δικαιον εν τω οικω αυτου επι της κοιτης αυτου και νυν εκζητησω το αιμα αυτου εκ χειρος υμων και εξολεθρευσω υμας εκ της γης
12 David then gave an order to the men, who put them to death, cut off their hands and feet, and hungthem up beside the pool of Hebron. Ishbaal's head they took and buried in Abner's grave at Hebron.	12 και ενετειλατο δαυιδ τοις παιδαριοις αυτου και αποκτεννουσιν αυτους και κολοβουσιν τας χειρας αυτων και τους ποδας αυτων και εκρεμασαν αυτους επι της κρηνης εν χεβρων και την κεφαλην μεμφιβοσθε εθαψαν εν τω ταφω αβεννηρ υιου νηρ
