1 Samuel 7

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	LXX
1 Then the men of Kiriath-jearim arrived, and they led away the ark of the Lord. And they brought it into the house of Abinadab, in Gibeah. Then they sanctified Eleazar, his son, so that he might care for the ark of the Lord.	1 και ερχονται οι ανδρες καριαθιαριμ και αναγουσιν την κιβωτον διαθηκης κυριου και εισαγουσιν αυτην εις οικον αμιναδαβ τον εν τω βουνω και τον ελεαζαρ υιον αυτου ηγιασαν φυλασσειν την κιβωτον διαθηκης κυριου
2 And it happened that, from that day, the ark of the Lord remained in Kiriath-jearim. And the days were multiplied (for it was now the twentieth year) and all the house of Israel rested, following the Lord.	2 και εγενηθη αφ' ης ημερας ην η κιβωτος εν καριαθιαριμ επληθυναν αι ημεραι και εγενοντο εικοσι ετη και επεβλεψεν πας οικος ισραηλ οπισω κυριου
3 Then Samuel spoke to the entire house of Israel, saying: “If you would return to the Lord with your whole heart, take away strange gods from among you, the Baals and Ashtaroth, and prepare your hearts for the Lord, and serve him alone. And he will rescue you from the hand of the Philistines.”	3 και ειπεν σαμουηλ προς παντα οικον ισραηλ λεγων ει εν ολη καρδια υμων υμεις επιστρεφετε προς κυριον περιελετε τους θεους τους αλλοτριους εκ μεσου υμων και τα αλση και ετοιμασατε τας καρδιας υμων προς κυριον και δουλευσατε αυτω μονω και εξελειται υμας εκ χειρος αλλοφυλων
4 Therefore, the sons of Israel took away the Baals and Ashtaroth, and they served the Lord alone.	4 και περιειλον οι υιοι ισραηλ τας βααλιμ και τα αλση ασταρωθ και εδουλευσαν κυριω μονω
5 And Samuel said, “Gather all of Israel at Mizpah, so that I may pray for you to the Lord.”	5 και ειπεν σαμουηλ αθροισατε παντα ισραηλ εις μασσηφαθ και προσευξομαι περι υμων προς κυριον
6 And they convened at Mizpah. And they drew water, and they poured it out in the sight of the Lord. And on that day they fasted, and in that place they said, “We have sinned against the Lord.” And Samuel judged the sons of Israel at Mizpah.	6 και συνηχθησαν εις μασσηφαθ και υδρευονται υδωρ και εξεχεαν ενωπιον κυριου επι την γην και ενηστευσαν εν τη ημερα εκεινη και ειπαν ημαρτηκαμεν ενωπιον κυριου και εδικαζεν σαμουηλ τους υιους ισραηλ εις μασσηφαθ
7 And the Philistines heard that the sons of Israel had gathered together at Mizpah. And the princes of the Philistines ascended against Israel. And when the sons of Israel had heard this, they were afraid before the face of the Philistines.	7 και ηκουσαν οι αλλοφυλοι οτι συνηθροισθησαν παντες οι υιοι ισραηλ εις μασσηφαθ και ανεβησαν σατραπαι αλλοφυλων επι ισραηλ και ακουουσιν οι υιοι ισραηλ και εφοβηθησαν απο προσωπου αλλοφυλων
8 And they said to Samuel, “May you not cease to cry out to the Lord our God on our behalf, so that he may save us from the hand of the Philistines.”	8 και ειπαν οι υιοι ισραηλ προς σαμουηλ μη παρασιωπησης αφ' ημων του μη βοαν προς κυριον θεον σου και σωσει ημας εκ χειρος αλλοφυλων
9 Then Samuel took one suckling lamb, and he offered it whole, as a holocaust to the Lord. And Samuel cried out to the Lord on behalf of Israel, and the Lord heeded him.	9 και ελαβεν σαμουηλ αρνα γαλαθηνον ενα και ανηνεγκεν αυτον ολοκαυτωσιν συν παντι τω λαω τω κυριω και εβοησεν σαμουηλ προς κυριον περι ισραηλ και επηκουσεν αυτου κυριος
10 Then it happened that, while Samuel was offering the holocaust, the Philistines began the battle against Israel. But the Lord thundered with a great crash, on that day, over the Philistines, and he terrified them, and they were cut down before the face of Israel.	10 και ην σαμουηλ αναφερων την ολοκαυτωσιν και αλλοφυλοι προσηγον εις πολεμον επι ισραηλ και εβροντησεν κυριος εν φωνη μεγαλη εν τη ημερα εκεινη επι τους αλλοφυλους και συνεχυθησαν και επταισαν ενωπιον ισραηλ
11 And the men of Israel, departing from Mizpah, pursued the Philistines, and they struck them down as far as the place which was below Bethcar.	11 και εξηλθαν ανδρες ισραηλ εκ μασσηφαθ και κατεδιωξαν τους αλλοφυλους και επαταξαν αυτους εως υποκατω του βαιθχορ
12 Then Samuel took a single stone, and he placed it between Mizpah and Shen. And he called the name of this place: The Stone of Assistance. And he said, “For in this place the Lord gave assistance to us.”	12 και ελαβεν σαμουηλ λιθον ενα και εστησεν αυτον ανα μεσον μασσηφαθ και ανα μεσον της παλαιας και εκαλεσεν το ονομα αυτου αβενεζερ λιθος του βοηθου και ειπεν εως ενταυθα εβοηθησεν ημιν κυριος
13 And the Philistines were humbled, and they no longer drew near, so that they might enter into the borders of Israel. And so, the hand of the Lord was over the Philistines during all the days of Samuel.	13 και εταπεινωσεν κυριος τους αλλοφυλους και ου προσεθεντο ετι προσελθειν εις οριον ισραηλ και εγενηθη χειρ κυριου επι τους αλλοφυλους πασας τας ημερας του σαμουηλ
14 And the cities that the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron as far as Gath, with their borders. And he freed Israel from the hand of the Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.	14 και απεδοθησαν αι πολεις ας ελαβον οι αλλοφυλοι παρα των υιων ισραηλ και απεδωκαν αυτας τω ισραηλ απο ασκαλωνος εως αζοβ και το οριον ισραηλ αφειλαντο εκ χειρος αλλοφυλων και ην ειρηνη ανα μεσον ισραηλ και ανα μεσον του αμορραιου
15 And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.	15 και εδικαζεν σαμουηλ τον ισραηλ πασας τας ημερας της ζωης αυτου
16 And he went each year, traveling around to Bethel, and to Gilgal, and to Mizpah, and he judged Israel in the above-stated places.	16 και επορευετο κατ' ενιαυτον ενιαυτον και εκυκλου βαιθηλ και την γαλγαλα και την μασσηφαθ και εδικαζεν τον ισραηλ εν πασι τοις ηγιασμενοις τουτοις
17 And he returned to Ramah. For his house was there, and he judged Israel there. And then he built an altar to the Lord there.	17 η δε αποστροφη αυτου εις αρμαθαιμ οτι εκει ην ο οικος αυτου και εδικαζεν εκει τον ισραηλ και ωκοδομησεν εκει θυσιαστηριον τω κυριω
