1 Chronicles 10

NEW JERUSALEM	GREEK BIBLE
1 The Philistines gave battle to Israel and the Israelites, fleeing from the Philistines, fel and wereslaughtered on Mount Gilboa.	1 Οι δε Φιλισταιοι επολεμουν κατα του Ισραηλ? και εφυγον οι ανδρες του Ισραηλ απο προσωπου των Φιλισταιων και επεσον πεφονευμενοι εν τω ορει Γελβουε.
2 The Philistines bore down on Saul and his sons, and they kil ed Jonathan, Abinadab and Malchishua,Saul's sons.	2 Και καταφθασαντες οι Φιλισταιοι οπισω του Σαουλ και οπισω των υιων αυτου, επαταξαν οι Φιλισταιοι τον Ιωναθαν και τον Αβιναδαβ και τον Μαλχι-σουε, τους υιους του Σαουλ.
3 The fighting grew fiercer round Saul; the archers came upon him, and he was wounded by thearchers.	3 Εβαρυνε δε η μαχη επι τον Σαουλ, και επετυχον αυτου οι τοξοται, και επληγωθη υπο των τοξοτων.
4 Saul then said to his armour-bearer, 'Draw your sword and run me through with it. I do not want theseuncircumcised men to come and make fun of me.' But his armour-bearer was very much afraid and would not doit. So Saul took his own sword and fell on it.	4 Και ειπεν ο Σαουλ προς τον οπλοφορον αυτου, Συρε την ρομφαιαν σου και διαπερασον με δι' αυτης, δια να μη ελθωσιν ουτοι οι απεριτμητοι και με εμπαιξωσι? πλην ο οπλοφορος αυτου δεν ηθελε? διοτι εφοβειτο σφοδρα. Οθεν ελαβεν ο Σαουλ την ρομφαιαν και επεσεν επ' αυτην.
5 His armour-bearer, seeing that Saul was dead, fel on his sword too and died with him.	5 Και ως ειδεν ο οπλοφορος αυτου οτι απεθανεν ο Σαουλ, επεσε και αυτος επι την ρομφαιαν και απεθανεν?
6 Thus died Saul, his three sons and his entire household together.	6 ουτως απεθανεν ο Σαουλ και οι τρεις υιοι αυτου? και πας ο οικος αυτου απεθανεν ομου.
7 When al the Israelites who were in the val ey saw that the Israelites had been routed and that Sauland his sons were dead, they abandoned their towns and fled. The Philistines then came and occupied them.	7 Και παντες οι ανδρες Ισραηλ, οι εν τη κοιλαδι, ιδοντες οτι εφευγον και οτι ο Σαουλ και οι υιοι αυτου απεθανον, τοτε κατελιπον τας πολεις αυτων και εφυγον? και ελθοντες οι Φιλισταιοι κατωκησαν εν αυταις.
8 When the Philistines came on the fol owing day to strip the dead, they found Saul and his sons lyingon Mount Gilboa.	8 Και την επαυριον, οτε ηλθον οι Φιλισταιοι δια να εκδυσωσι τους πεφονευμενους, ευρηκαν τον Σαουλ και τους υιους αυτου πεπτωκοτας εν τω ορει Γελβουε.
9 They stripped him and, taking his head and his armour, had these carried round the territory of thePhilistines to proclaim the good news to their idols and their people.	9 Και εξεδυσαν αυτον και ελαβον την κεφαλην αυτου και τα οπλα αυτου και απεστειλαν εις την γην των Φιλισταιων κυκλω, δια να διαδωσωσι την αγγελιαν εις τα ειδωλα αυτων και εις τον λαον.
10 They placed his armour in the temple of their gods and nailed his head up in the temple of Dagon.	10 Και ανεθεσαν τα οπλα αυτου εις τον οικον των θεων αυτων? και εις τον ναον του Δαγων προσηλωσαν την κεφαλην αυτου.
11 When al the inhabitants of Jabesh in Gilead heard everything that the Philistines had done to Saul,	11 Ακουσαντες δε παντες οι κατοικοι της Ιαβεις-γαλααδ παντα οσα εκαμον οι Φιλισταιοι εις τον Σαουλ,
12 the warriors al set out and took the bodies of Saul and his sons away; they brought them to Jabeshand buried their bones under the tamarisk of Jabesh and fasted for seven days.	12 ηγερθησαν παντες οι δυνατοι ανδρες και εσηκωσαν το σωμα του Σαουλ και τα σωματα των υιων αυτου και εφεραν αυτα εις Ιαβεις, και εθαψαν τα οστα αυτων υπο την δρυν εν Ιαβεις και ενηστευσαν επτα ημερας.
13 Thus died Saul in the infidelity of which he had been guilty towards Yahweh, in that he had notobeyed the word of Yahweh and because he had consulted a necromancer for guidance.	13 Ουτως απεθανεν ο Σαουλ, δια την ανομιαν αυτου την οποιαν ηνομησεν εις τον Κυριον, εναντιον του λογου του Κυριου, τον οποιον δεν εφυλαξε? και ετι διοτι εζητησεν ανθρωπον εχοντα πνευμα μαντειας, δια να ερωτηση,
14 He had not consulted Yahweh, who therefore caused his death and transferred the monarchy toDavid son of Jesse.	14 και δεν ηρωτησε τον Κυριον? δια τουτο εθανατωσεν αυτον και εστρεψε την βασιλειαν εις τον Δαβιδ τον υιον του Ιεσσαι.
