1 Samuel 30

NEW JERUSALEM	LXX
1 Now by the time David and his men reached Ziklag three days later, the Amalekites had raided theNegeb and Ziklag; they had sacked Ziklag and burnt it down.	1 και εγενηθη εισελθοντος δαυιδ και των ανδρων αυτου εις σεκελακ τη ημερα τη τριτη και αμαληκ επεθετο επι τον νοτον και επι σεκελακ και επαταξεν την σεκελακ και ενεπυρισεν αυτην εν πυρι
2 They had taken the women prisoner, and everyone who was there, both smal and great. They had notkil ed anyone, but had carried them off and gone away.	2 και τας γυναικας και παντα τα εν αυτη απο μικρου εως μεγαλου ουκ εθανατωσαν ανδρα και γυναικα αλλ' ηχμαλωτευσαν και απηλθον εις την οδον αυτων
3 When David and his men arrived, they found the town burnt down and their wives and sons anddaughters taken captive.	3 και ηλθεν δαυιδ και οι ανδρες αυτου εις την πολιν και ιδου εμπεπυρισται εν πυρι αι δε γυναικες αυτων και οι υιοι αυτων και αι θυγατερες αυτων ηχμαλωτευμενοι
4 Then David and the people with him wept aloud til they were too weak to weep any more.	4 και ηρεν δαυιδ και οι ανδρες αυτου την φωνην αυτων και εκλαυσαν εως οτου ουκ ην εν αυτοις ισχυς ετι κλαιειν
5 David's two wives had been captured: Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail widow of Nabal of Carmel.	5 και αμφοτεραι αι γυναικες δαυιδ ηχμαλωτευθησαν αχινοομ η ιεζραηλιτις και αβιγαια η γυνη ναβαλ του καρμηλιου
6 David was in great trouble, since the people were talking of stoning him; the people al felt very bitter,each man for his own sons and daughters. But David took courage from Yahweh his God.	6 και εθλιβη δαυιδ σφοδρα οτι ειπεν ο λαος λιθοβολησαι αυτον οτι κατωδυνος ψυχη παντος του λαου εκαστου επι τους υιους αυτου και επι τας θυγατερας αυτου και εκραταιωθη δαυιδ εν κυριω θεω αυτου
7 To the priest Abiathar son of Ahimelech, David said, 'Bring me the ephod.' Abiathar brought the ephodto David.	7 και ειπεν δαυιδ προς αβιαθαρ τον ιερεα υιον αχιμελεχ προσαγαγε το εφουδ
8 David then consulted Yahweh, 'Shal I go in pursuit of these raiders? Wil I overtake them?' Theanswer was, 'Go in pursuit; you will certainly overtake them and rescue the captives.'	8 και επηρωτησεν δαυιδ δια του κυριου λεγων ει καταδιωξω οπισω του γεδδουρ τουτου ει καταλημψομαι αυτους και ειπεν αυτω καταδιωκε οτι καταλαμβανων καταλημψη και εξαιρουμενος εξελη
9 David accordingly set off with the six hundred men who were with him and reached the torrent ofBesor.	9 και επορευθη δαυιδ αυτος και οι εξακοσιοι ανδρες μετ' αυτου και ερχονται εως του χειμαρρου βοσορ και οι περισσοι εστησαν
10 David then continued the pursuit with four hundred men, two hundred staying behind who were tooexhausted to cross the torrent of Besor.	10 και κατεδιωξεν εν τετρακοσιοις ανδρασιν υπεστησαν δε διακοσιοι ανδρες οιτινες εκαθισαν περαν του χειμαρρου του βοσορ
11 Out in the country they found an Egyptian and brought him to David. They gave him some bread toeat and some water to drink;	11 και ευρισκουσιν ανδρα αιγυπτιον εν αγρω και λαμβανουσιν αυτον και αγουσιν αυτον προς δαυιδ εν αγρω και διδοασιν αυτω αρτον και εφαγεν και εποτισαν αυτον υδωρ
12 they also gave him a piece of fig cake and two bunches of raisins; he ate these and his spirits revived-- he had had nothing to eat or drink for three days and three nights.	12 και διδοασιν αυτω κλασμα παλαθης και εφαγεν και κατεστη το πνευμα αυτου εν αυτω οτι ου βεβρωκει αρτον και ου πεπωκει υδωρ τρεις ημερας και τρεις νυκτας
13 David then said to him, 'Whose man are you and where do you come from?' He replied, 'I am ayoung Egyptian, the slave of an Amalekite; my master abandoned me because I fel sick three days ago.	13 και ειπεν αυτω δαυιδ τινος συ ει και ποθεν ει και ειπεν το παιδαριον το αιγυπτιον εγω ειμι δουλος ανδρος αμαληκιτου και κατελιπεν με ο κυριος μου οτι ηνωχληθην εγω σημερον τριταιος
14 We raided the Negeb of the Cherethites, and the Negeb of Judah, and the Negeb of Caleb too, andwe burnt Ziklag down.'	14 και ημεις επεθεμεθα επι νοτον του χολθι και επι τα της ιουδαιας μερη και επι νοτον χελουβ και την σεκελακ ενεπυρισαμεν εν πυρι
15 David said, 'Wil you guide me to these raiders?' He replied, 'Swear to me by God not to kill me orhand me over to my master, and I wil guide you to these raiders.'	15 και ειπεν προς αυτον δαυιδ ει καταξεις με επι το γεδδουρ τουτο και ειπεν ομοσον δη μοι κατα του θεου μη θανατωσειν με και μη παραδουναι με εις χειρας του κυριου μου και καταξω σε επι το γεδδουρ τουτο
16 He guided him to them, and there they were, scattered over the whole countryside, eating, drinkingand celebrating, on account of the enormous booty which they had brought back from the territory of thePhilistines and the territory of Judah.	16 και κατηγαγεν αυτον εκει και ιδου ουτοι διακεχυμενοι επι προσωπον πασης της γης εσθιοντες και πινοντες και εορταζοντες εν πασι τοις σκυλοις τοις μεγαλοις οις ελαβον εκ γης αλλοφυλων και εκ γης ιουδα
17 David slaughtered them from dawn until the evening of the following day. No one escaped, exceptfour hundred young men who mounted camels and fled.	17 και ηλθεν επ' αυτους δαυιδ και επαταξεν αυτους απο εωσφορου εως δειλης και τη επαυριον και ουκ εσωθη εξ αυτων ανηρ οτι αλλ' η τετρακοσια παιδαρια α ην επιβεβηκοτα επι τας καμηλους και εφυγον
18 He rescued everything that the Amalekites had taken -- David also rescued his two wives.	18 και αφειλατο δαυιδ παντα α ελαβον οι αμαληκιται και αμφοτερας τας γυναικας αυτου εξειλατο
19 Nothing of theirs was lost, whether smal or great, from the booty or sons and daughters -- everythingthat had been taken from them; David recovered everything.	19 και ου διεφωνησεν αυτοις απο μικρου εως μεγαλου και απο των σκυλων και εως υιων και θυγατερων και εως παντων ων ελαβον αυτων τα παντα επεστρεψεν δαυιδ
20 They captured the flocks and herds as wel and drove them in front of him. 'This is David's booty,'they shouted.	20 και ελαβεν δαυιδ παντα τα ποιμνια και τα βουκολια και απηγαγεν εμπροσθεν των σκυλων και τοις σκυλοις εκεινοις ελεγετο ταυτα τα σκυλα δαυιδ
21 When David reached the two hundred men who had been too exhausted to follow him and whom hehad left at the torrent of Besor, they came out to meet David and the party accompanying him; Davidapproached with his party and greeted them.	21 και παραγινεται δαυιδ προς τους διακοσιους ανδρας τους εκλυθεντας του πορευεσθαι οπισω δαυιδ και εκαθισεν αυτους εν τω χειμαρρω τω βοσορ και εξηλθον εις απαντησιν δαυιδ και εις απαντησιν του λαου του μετ' αυτου και προσηγαγεν δαυιδ εως του λαου και ηρωτησαν αυτον τα εις ειρηνην
22 But al the rogues and scoundrels among the men who had gone with David began saying, 'Sincethey did not go with us, we shal not give them any of the booty which we have rescued, except that each ofthem can have his wife and children. Let them take them away and be off.'	22 και απεκριθη πας ανηρ λοιμος και πονηρος των ανδρων των πολεμιστων των πορευθεντων μετα δαυιδ και ειπαν οτι ου κατεδιωξαν μεθ' ημων ου δωσομεν αυτοις εκ των σκυλων ων εξειλαμεθα οτι αλλ' η εκαστος την γυναικα αυτου και τα τεκνα αυτου απαγεσθωσαν και αποστρεφετωσαν
23 But David said, 'Do not behave like this, brothers, with what Yahweh has given us; he has protectedus and has handed over to us the raiders who attacked us.	23 και ειπεν δαυιδ ου ποιησετε ουτως μετα το παραδουναι τον κυριον ημιν και φυλαξαι ημας και παρεδωκεν κυριος τον γεδδουρ τον επερχομενον εφ' ημας εις χειρας ημων
24 Who would agree with you on this? No: As the share of the man who goes into battle, so is the shareof the man who stays with the baggage. They wil share alike.'	24 και τις υπακουσεται υμων των λογων τουτων οτι ουχ ηττον υμων εισιν διοτι κατα την μεριδα του καταβαινοντος εις πολεμον ουτως εσται η μερις του καθημενου επι τα σκευη κατα το αυτο μεριουνται
25 And from that day on, he made that a rule and custom for Israel, which obtains to the present day.	25 και εγενηθη απο της ημερας εκεινης και επανω και εγενετο εις προσταγμα και εις δικαιωμα τω ισραηλ εως της σημερον
26 When David reached Ziklag, he sent parts of the booty to the elders of Judah, town by town, with thismessage, 'Here is a present for you, taken from the booty of Yahweh's enemies':	26 και ηλθεν δαυιδ εις σεκελακ και απεστειλεν τοις πρεσβυτεροις ιουδα των σκυλων και τοις πλησιον αυτου λεγων ιδου απο των σκυλων των εχθρων κυριου
27 to those in Bethel, to those in Ramoth of the Negeb,	27 τοις εν βαιθσουρ και τοις εν ραμα νοτου και τοις εν ιεθθορ
28 to those in Jattir, to those in Aroer, to those in Siphmoth, to those in Eshtemoa,	28 και τοις εν αροηρ και τοις αμμαδι και τοις εν σαφι και τοις εν εσθιε [28α] και τοις εν γεθ και τοις εν κιναν και τοις εν σαφεκ και τοις εν θιμαθ
29 to those in Carmel, to those in the towns of Jerahmeel, to those in the towns of the Kenites,	29 και τοις εν καρμηλω και τοις εν ταις πολεσιν του ιεραμηλι και τοις εν ταις πολεσιν του κενεζι
30 to those in Hormah, to those in Borashan, to those in Athach,	30 και τοις εν ιεριμουθ και τοις εν βηρσαβεε και τοις εν νοο
31 to those in Hebron and to al the places which David and his men had frequented.	31 και τοις εν χεβρων και εις παντας τους τοπους ους διηλθεν δαυιδ εκει αυτος και οι ανδρες αυτου
