1 Samuel 21

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 Then David went into Nob, to the priest Ahimelech. And Ahimelech was astonished that David had arrived. And he said to him, “Why are you alone, and no one is with you?”	1 Και ηλθεν ο Δαβιδ εις Νωβ, προς Αχιμελεχ τον ιερεα? εξεπλαγη δε ο Αχιμελεχ εις την συναντησιν του Δαβιδ και ειπε προς αυτον, Δια τι συ μονος, και δεν ειναι ουδεις μετα σου;
2 And David said to the priest Ahimelech: “The king has instructed to me a word, and he said: ‘Let no one know the matter about which you have been sent by me, and what type of instructions I have given to you. For I have also summoned servants to one and another place.’	2 Και ειπεν ο Δαβιδ προς τον Αχιμελεχ τον ιερεα, Ο βασιλευς προσεταξεν εις εμε υποθεσιν τινα και μοι ειπεν, Ας μη εξευρη μηδεις μηδεν περι της υποθεσεως, δια την οποιαν εγω σε αποστελλω, μηδε τι προσεταξα εις εσε? και διωρισα εις τους δουλους τον δεινα και δεινα τοπον.
3 Now therefore, if you have anything at hand, even five loaves of bread, or whatever you may find, give it to me.”	3 Τωρα λοιπον τι σοι ειναι προχειρον; δος πεντε αρτους εις την χειρα μου, η ο, τι ευρισκεται.
4 And the priest, responding to David, said to him: “I have no common bread at hand, but only holy bread. Are the young men clean, especially from women?”	4 Και απεκριθη ο ιερευς προς τον Δαβιδ, και ειπε, Δεν εχω προχειρον ουδενα κοινον αρτον, αλλ' ειναι αρτοι ηγιασμενοι? οι νεοι εφυλαχθησαν καθαροι τουλαχιστον απο γυναικων;
5 And David responded to the priest, and said to him: “Indeed, as concerns being with women, we have abstained since yesterday and the day before, when we departed, and so the vessels of the young men have been holy. And although, this journey has been defiled, it will also be sanctified today as concerns the vessels.”	5 Και απεκριθη ο Δαβιδ προς τον ιερεα και ειπε προς αυτον, Μαλιστα αι γυναικες ειναι μακραν αφ' ημων εις τας τρεις ταυτας ημερας, αφου εξηλθον, και τα σκευη των νεων ειναι καθαρα? και ουτος ο αρτος ειναι τροπον τινα κοινος, μαλιστα επειδη σημερον ειναι αλλος ηγιασμενος εις τα σκευη.
6 Therefore, the priest gave to him sanctified bread. For there was no bread there, but only the bread of the Presence, which had been taken away from before the face of the Lord, so that fresh loaves might be set up.	6 Εδωκε λοιπον ο ιερευς εις αυτον τους αρτους τους αγιους? διοτι δεν ητο εκει αρτος παρα τους αρτους της προθεσεως, οιτινες ειχον σηκωθη απ' εμπροσθεν του Κυριου, δια να θεσωσιν αρτους ζεστους καθ' ην ημεραν εσηκωθησαν εκεινοι.
7 Now a certain man among the servants of Saul was there on that day, inside the tabernacle of the Lord. And his name was Doeg, an Edomite, the most powerful among the shepherds of Saul.	7 Ητο δε εκει ανθρωπος τις εκ των δουλων του Σαουλ, την ημεραν εκεινην, κρατουμενος ενωπιον του Κυριου? και το ονομα αυτου Δωηκ, ο Ιδουμαιος, ο πρωτιστος των ποιμενων του Σαουλ.
8 Then David said to Ahimelech: “Do you have, here at hand, a spear or a sword? For I did not take my own sword, or my own weapons with me. For the word of the king was urgent.”	8 Και ειπεν ο Δαβιδ προς τον Αχιμελεχ, Και δεν εχεις εδω προχειρον κανεν δορυ η ρομφαιαν; διοτι ουτε την ρομφαιαν μου ουτε τα οπλα μου ελαβον εν τη χειρι μου, επειδη του βασιλεως η υποθεσις ητο κατεπειγουσα.
9 And the priest said: “Behold, here is the sword of Goliath, the Philistine, whom you struck down in the Valley of Terebinth. It is wrapped up in a cloak behind the ephod. If you wish to take this, take it. For there is nothing else here except this.” And David said, “There is nothing else like this, so give it to me.”	9 Και ειπεν ο ιερευς, Η ρομφαια Γολιαθ του Φιλισταιου, τον οποιον επαταξας εν τη κοιλαδι Ηλα, ιδου ειναι περιτετυλιγμενη εις φορεμα οπισθεν του εφοδ? εαν θελης να λαβης αυτην, λαβε? διοτι ενταυθα δεν ειναι αλλη παρα εκεινην. Και ειπεν ο Δαβιδ, Δεν ειναι ουδεμια ως αυτη? δος μοι αυτην.
10 And so, David rose up, and he fled on that day from the face of Saul. And he went to Achish, the king of Gath.	10 Και εσηκωθη ο Δαβιδ και εφυγε την ημεραν εκεινην απο προσωπου του Σαουλ, και υπηγε προς τον Αγχους, βασιλεα της Γαθ
11 And the servants of Achish, when they had seen David, said to him: “Is this not David, the king of the land? Were they not singing about him, while dancing, saying, ‘Saul has struck down a thousand, and David ten thousand?’ ”	11 Και ειπον οι δουλοι του Αγχους προς αυτον, Δεν ειναι ουτος ο Δαβιδ ο βασιλευς του τοπου; δεν ειναι ουτος, εις τον οποιον αμοιβαιως εψαλλον εν τοις χοροις, λεγουσαι, Ο Σαουλ επαταξε τας χιλιαδας αυτου, και ο Δαβιδ τας μυριαδας αυτου;
12 Then David took these words to his heart, and he became exceedingly afraid before the face of Achish, the king of Gath.	12 Και εβαλεν ο Δαβιδ τους λογους τουτους εν τη καρδια αυτου και εφοβηθη σφοδρα απο του Αγχους βασιλεως της Γαθ.
13 And he altered his mouth before them, and he slipped down between their hands. And he stumbled against the doors of the gate. And his spit flowed down his beard.	13 Και ηλλαξε τον τροπον αυτου εμπροσθεν αυτων, και προσεποιηθη τον τρελλον μεταξυ των χειρων αυτων, και εξυεν επανω των θυρων της πυλης, και αφινε τον σιελον αυτου να καταπιπτη εις το γενειον αυτου.
14 And Achish said to his servants: “You saw that the man is insane. Why did you bring him to me?	14 Τοτε ειπεν ο Αγχους προς τους δουλους αυτου, Ιδου, σεις βλεπετε τον ανθρωπον οτι ειναι τρελλος? δια τι εφερετε αυτον προς εμε;
15 Or do we have need of those who are mad, so that you would bring in this one, to behave madly in my presence? How did this man get into my house?”	15 μηπως εγω στερουμαι τρελλων, ωστε να φερητε τουτον δια να καμνη τον τρελλον εμπροσθεν μου; ουτος ηθελεν εισελθει εις την οικιαν μου;
