1 Samuel 11

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	LXX
1 And, about a month afterward, it happened that Nahash the Ammonite ascended and began to fight against Jabesh Gilead. And all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, “Consider a pact with us, and we will serve you.”	1 και εγενηθη ως μετα μηνα και ανεβη ναας ο αμμανιτης και παρεμβαλλει επι ιαβις γαλααδ και ειπον παντες οι ανδρες ιαβις προς ναας τον αμμανιτην διαθου ημιν διαθηκην και δουλευσομεν σοι
2 And Nahash the Ammonite responded to them, “With this will I strike a pact with you: if I may pluck out all your right eyes, and set you as a disgrace against all of Israel.”	2 και ειπεν προς αυτους ναας ο αμμανιτης εν ταυτη διαθησομαι υμιν διαθηκην εν τω εξορυξαι υμων παντα οφθαλμον δεξιον και θησομαι ονειδος επι ισραηλ
3 And the elders of Jabesh said to him: “Grant to us seven days, so that we may send messengers to all the borders of Israel. And if there is no one who may defend us, we will go out to you.”	3 και λεγουσιν αυτω οι ανδρες ιαβις ανες ημιν επτα ημερας και αποστελουμεν αγγελους εις παν οριον ισραηλ εαν μη η ο σωζων ημας εξελευσομεθα προς υμας
4 Therefore, the messengers arrived at Gibeah of Saul. And they spoke these words in the hearing of the people. And all the people lifted up their voice and wept.	4 και ερχονται οι αγγελοι εις γαβαα προς σαουλ και λαλουσιν τους λογους εις τα ωτα του λαου και ηραν πας ο λαος την φωνην αυτων και εκλαυσαν
5 And behold, Saul arrived, following oxen from the field. And he said, “What has happened to the people that they would weep?” And they explained to him the words of the men from Jabesh.	5 και ιδου σαουλ ηρχετο μετα το πρωι εξ αγρου και ειπεν σαουλ τι οτι κλαιει ο λαος και διηγουνται αυτω τα ρηματα των υιων ιαβις
6 And the Spirit of the Lord rose up within Saul when he had heard these words, and his fury was enraged exceedingly.	6 και εφηλατο πνευμα κυριου επι σαουλ ως ηκουσεν τα ρηματα ταυτα και εθυμωθη επ' αυτους οργη αυτου σφοδρα
7 And taking both the oxen, he cut them into pieces, and he sent them into all the borders of Israel, by the hands of messengers, saying, “Whoever will not go out and follow Saul and Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen.” Therefore, the fear of the Lord entered into the people, and they went out like one man.	7 και ελαβεν δυο βοας και εμελισεν αυτας και απεστειλεν εις παν οριον ισραηλ εν χειρι αγγελων λεγων ος ουκ εστιν εκπορευομενος οπισω σαουλ και οπισω σαμουηλ κατα ταδε ποιησουσιν τοις βουσιν αυτου και επηλθεν εκστασις κυριου επι τον λαον ισραηλ και εβοησαν ως ανηρ εις
8 And he took a census of them at Bezek. And there were three hundred thousand of the sons of Israel. And there were thirty thousand of the men of Judah.	8 και επισκεπτεται αυτους αβιεζεκ εν βαμα παν ανδρα ισραηλ εξακοσιας χιλιαδας και ανδρας ιουδα εβδομηκοντα χιλιαδας
9 And they said to the messengers who had arrived: “So shall you say to the men who are of Jabesh Gilead: ‘Tomorrow, when the sun will be hot, you shall have salvation.’ ” Therefore, the messengers went and announced it to the men of Jabesh, who became joyful.	9 και ειπεν τοις αγγελοις τοις ερχομενοις ταδε ερειτε τοις ανδρασιν ιαβις αυριον υμιν η σωτηρια διαθερμαναντος του ηλιου και ηλθον οι αγγελοι εις την πολιν και απαγγελλουσιν τοις ανδρασιν ιαβις και ευφρανθησαν
10 And they said, “In the morning, we will go out to you. And you may do whatever you please with us.”	10 και ειπαν οι ανδρες ιαβις προς ναας τον αμμανιτην αυριον εξελευσομεθα προς υμας και ποιησετε ημιν το αγαθον ενωπιον υμων
11 And it happened that, when the next day had arrived, Saul arranged the people into three parts. And he entered into the middle of the camp at the early morning watch, and he struck down the Ammonites until the day grew hot. Then the remainder were dispersed, so much so that not even two of them were left together.	11 και εγενηθη μετα την αυριον και εθετο σαουλ τον λαον εις τρεις αρχας και εισπορευονται μεσον της παρεμβολης εν φυλακη τη πρωινη και ετυπτον τους υιους αμμων εως διεθερμανθη η ημερα και εγενηθησαν οι υπολελειμμενοι διεσπαρησαν και ουχ υπελειφθησαν εν αυτοις δυο κατα το αυτο
12 And the people said to Samuel: “Who is the one who said, ‘Should Saul reign over us?’ Present the men, and we will put them to death.”	12 και ειπεν ο λαος προς σαμουηλ τις ο ειπας οτι σαουλ ου βασιλευσει ημων παραδος τους ανδρας και θανατωσομεν αυτους
13 And Saul said: “No one shall be killed on this day. For today the Lord has accomplished salvation in Israel.”	13 και ειπεν σαουλ ουκ αποθανειται ουδεις εν τη ημερα ταυτη οτι σημερον κυριος εποιησεν σωτηριαν εν ισραηλ
14 Then Samuel said to the people, “Come, and let us go to Gilgal, and let us renew the kingdom there.”	14 και ειπεν σαμουηλ προς τον λαον λεγων πορευθωμεν εις γαλγαλα και εγκαινισωμεν εκει την βασιλειαν
15 And all the people traveled to Gilgal. And there they made Saul king, in the sight of the Lord at Gilgal. And there they immolated victims of peace, before the Lord. And there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced exceedingly.	15 και επορευθη πας ο λαος εις γαλγαλα και εχρισεν σαμουηλ εκει τον σαουλ εις βασιλεα ενωπιον κυριου εν γαλγαλοις και εθυσεν εκει θυσιας και ειρηνικας ενωπιον κυριου και ευφρανθη σαμουηλ και πας ισραηλ ωστε λιαν
