1 Samuel 28

NEW JERUSALEM	LXX
1 It then happened that the Philistines mustered their forces for war, to fight Israel, and Achish said toDavid, 'It is understood that you and your men go into battle with me.'	1 και εγενηθη εν ταις ημεραις εκειναις και συναθροιζονται αλλοφυλοι εν ταις παρεμβολαις αυτων εξελθειν πολεμειν μετα ισραηλ και ειπεν αγχους προς δαυιδ γινωσκων γνωσει οτι μετ' εμου εξελευσει εις πολεμον συ και οι ανδρες σου
2 David said to Achish, 'In that case, you wil soon see what your servant can do.' Achish replied toDavid, 'Right, I shal appoint you as my permanent bodyguard.'	2 και ειπεν δαυιδ προς αγχους ουτω νυν γνωσει α ποιησει ο δουλος σου και ειπεν αγχους προς δαυιδ ουτως αρχισωματοφυλακα θησομαι σε πασας τας ημερας
3 Now Samuel was dead, and al Israel had mourned him and buried him at Ramah, his own town. Saulhad expel ed the necromancers and wizards from the country.	3 και σαμουηλ απεθανεν και εκοψαντο αυτον πας ισραηλ και θαπτουσιν αυτον εν αρμαθαιμ εν πολει αυτου και σαουλ περιειλεν τους εγγαστριμυθους και τους γνωστας απο της γης
4 Meanwhile the Philistines had mustered and had come and pitched camp at Shunem. Saul musteredal Israel and they encamped at Gilboa.	4 και συναθροιζονται οι αλλοφυλοι και ερχονται και παρεμβαλλουσιν εις σωμαν και συναθροιζει σαουλ παντα ανδρα ισραηλ και παρεμβαλλουσιν εις γελβουε
5 When Saul saw the Philistine camp, he was afraid and his heart trembled violently.	5 και ειδεν σαουλ την παρεμβολην των αλλοφυλων και εφοβηθη και εξεστη η καρδια αυτου σφοδρα
6 Saul consulted Yahweh, but Yahweh gave him no answer, either by dream, divination or prophet.	6 και επηρωτησεν σαουλ δια κυριου και ουκ απεκριθη αυτω κυριος εν τοις ενυπνιοις και εν τοις δηλοις και εν τοις προφηταις
7 Saul then said to his servants, 'Find a necromancer for me, so that I can go and consult her.' Hisservants replied, 'There is a necromancer at En-Dor.'	7 και ειπεν σαουλ τοις παισιν αυτου ζητησατε μοι γυναικα εγγαστριμυθον και πορευσομαι προς αυτην και ζητησω εν αυτη και ειπαν οι παιδες αυτου προς αυτον ιδου γυνη εγγαστριμυθος εν αενδωρ
8 And so Saul, disguising himself and changing his clothes, set out accompanied by two men; their visitto the woman took place at night. 'Disclose the future to me', he said, 'by means of a ghost. Conjure up the one Ishall name to you.'	8 και συνεκαλυψατο σαουλ και περιεβαλετο ιματια ετερα και πορευεται αυτος και δυο ανδρες μετ' αυτου και ερχονται προς την γυναικα νυκτος και ειπεν αυτη μαντευσαι δη μοι εν τω εγγαστριμυθω και αναγαγε μοι ον εαν ειπω σοι
9 The woman replied, 'Look, you know what Saul has done, how he has outlawed necromancers andwizards from the country; why are you setting a trap for my life, then, to have me killed?'	9 και ειπεν η γυνη προς αυτον ιδου δη συ οιδας οσα εποιησεν σαουλ ως εξωλεθρευσεν τους εγγαστριμυθους και τους γνωστας απο της γης και ινα τι συ παγιδευεις την ψυχην μου θανατωσαι αυτην
10 But Saul swore to her by Yahweh, 'As Yahweh lives,' he said, 'no blame shal attach to you for thisbusiness.'	10 και ωμοσεν αυτη σαουλ λεγων ζη κυριος ει απαντησεται σοι αδικια εν τω λογω τουτω
11 The woman asked, 'Whom shal I conjure up for you?' He replied, 'Conjure up Samuel.'	11 και ειπεν η γυνη τινα αναγαγω σοι και ειπεν τον σαμουηλ αναγαγε μοι
12 The woman then saw Samuel and, giving a great cry, she said to Saul, 'Why have you deceived me?You are Saul!'	12 και ειδεν η γυνη τον σαμουηλ και ανεβοησεν φωνη μεγαλη και ειπεν η γυνη προς σαουλ ινα τι παρελογισω με και συ ει σαουλ
13 The king said, 'Do not be afraid! What do you see?' The woman replied to Saul, 'I see a ghost risingfrom the earth.'	13 και ειπεν αυτη ο βασιλευς μη φοβου ειπον τινα εορακας και ειπεν αυτω θεους εορακα αναβαινοντας εκ της γης
14 'What is he like?' he asked. She replied, 'It is an old man coming up; he is wrapped in a cloak.' Saulthen knew that it was Samuel and, bowing to the ground, prostrated himself.	14 και ειπεν αυτη τι εγνως και ειπεν αυτω ανδρα ορθιον αναβαινοντα εκ της γης και ουτος διπλοιδα αναβεβλημενος και εγνω σαουλ οτι σαμουηλ ουτος και εκυψεν επι προσωπον αυτου επι την γην και προσεκυνησεν αυτω
15 Samuel said to Saul, 'Why have you disturbed my rest by conjuring me up?' Saul replied, 'I am ingreat distress; the Philistines are waging war on me, and God has abandoned me and no longer answers meeither by prophet or by dream; and so I have summoned you to tel me what I ought to do.'	15 και ειπεν σαμουηλ ινα τι παρηνωχλησας μοι αναβηναι με και ειπεν σαουλ θλιβομαι σφοδρα και οι αλλοφυλοι πολεμουσιν εν εμοι και ο θεος αφεστηκεν απ' εμου και ουκ επακηκοεν μοι ετι και εν χειρι των προφητων και εν τοις ενυπνιοις και νυν κεκληκα σε γνωρισαι μοι τι ποιησω
16 Samuel said, 'Why consult me, when Yahweh has abandoned you and has become your enemy?	16 και ειπεν σαμουηλ ινα τι επερωτας με και κυριος αφεστηκεν απο σου και γεγονεν μετα του πλησιον σου
17 Yahweh has treated you as he foretold through me; he has snatched the sovereignty from your handand given it to your neighbour, David,	17 και πεποιηκεν κυριος σοι καθως ελαλησεν εν χειρι μου και διαρρηξει κυριος την βασιλειαν σου εκ χειρος σου και δωσει αυτην τω πλησιον σου τω δαυιδ
18 because you disobeyed Yahweh's voice and did not execute his fierce anger against Amalek. That iswhy Yahweh is treating you like this today.	18 διοτι ουκ ηκουσας φωνης κυριου και ουκ εποιησας θυμον οργης αυτου εν αμαληκ δια τουτο το ρημα εποιησεν κυριος σοι τη ημερα ταυτη
19 What is more, Yahweh will deliver Israel and you too, into the power of the Philistines. Tomorrow youand your sons will be with me; and Yahweh wil hand over the army of Israel into the power of the Philistines.'	19 και παραδωσει κυριος τον ισραηλ μετα σου εις χειρας αλλοφυλων και αυριον συ και οι υιοι σου μετα σου πεσουνται και την παρεμβολην ισραηλ δωσει κυριος εις χειρας αλλοφυλων
20 Immediately Saul fell ful length on the ground. He was terrified by what Samuel had said and wasalso weak from having eaten nothing al that day and night.	20 και εσπευσεν σαουλ και επεσεν εστηκως επι την γην και εφοβηθη σφοδρα απο των λογων σαμουηλ και ισχυς εν αυτω ουκ ην ετι ου γαρ εφαγεν αρτον ολην την ημεραν και ολην την νυκτα εκεινην
21 The woman went to Saul and, seeing his terror, said, 'Look, your servant has obeyed your order; Ihave taken my life in my hands and obeyed the command which you gave me.	21 και εισηλθεν η γυνη προς σαουλ και ειδεν οτι εσπευσεν σφοδρα και ειπεν προς αυτον ιδου δη ηκουσεν η δουλη σου της φωνης σου και εθεμην την ψυχην μου εν τη χειρι μου και ηκουσα τους λογους ους ελαλησας μοι
22 Now please, you in your turn listen to what your servant has to say. Let me offer you a piece ofbread. Eat something and get some strength for your journey.'	22 και νυν ακουσον δη φωνης της δουλης σου και παραθησω ενωπιον σου ψωμον αρτου και φαγε και εσται εν σοι ισχυς οτι πορευση εν οδω
23 But he refused. 'I wil not eat,' he said. His servants however pressed him, and so did the woman.Al owing himself to be persuaded by them, he got up from the ground and sat on the bed.	23 και ουκ εβουληθη φαγειν και παρεβιαζοντο αυτον οι παιδες αυτου και η γυνη και ηκουσεν της φωνης αυτων και ανεστη απο της γης και εκαθισεν επι τον διφρον
24 The woman owned a fattened calf which she quickly slaughtered, and she took some flour andkneaded it and with it baked some unleavened cakes	24 και τη γυναικι ην δαμαλις νομας εν τη οικια και εσπευσεν και εθυσεν αυτην και ελαβεν αλευρα και εφυρασεν και επεψεν αζυμα
25 which she served to Saul and his servants; they ate, and then set off and left the same night.	25 και προσηγαγεν ενωπιον σαουλ και ενωπιον των παιδων αυτου και εφαγον και ανεστησαν και απηλθον την νυκτα εκεινην
