1 Chronicles 19

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	GREEK BIBLE
1 Now after this Nahash the king of the Ammonites died, and his son reigned in his stead.	1 Μετα δε ταυτα απεθανεν ο Ναας βασιλευς των υιων Αμμων, και εβασιλευσεν αντ' αυτου ο υιος αυτου.
2 And David said, "I will deal loyally with Hanun the son of Nahash, for his father dealt loyally with me." So David sent messengers to console him concerning his father. And David's servants came to Hanun in the land of the Ammonites, to console him.	2 Και ειπεν ο Δαβιδ, Θελω καμει ελεος προς Ανουν τον υιον του Ναας, επειδη ο πατηρ αυτου εκαμεν ελεος προς εμε. Και απεστειλεν ο Δαβιδ πρεσβεις, δια να παρηγορηση αυτον περι του πατρος αυτου. Και ηλθον οι δουλοι του Δαβιδ εις την γην των υιων Αμμων προς τον Ανουν, δια να παρηγορησωσιν αυτον.
3 But the princes of the Ammonites said to Hanun, "Do you think, because David has sent comforters to you, that he is honoring your father? Have not his servants come to you to search and to overthrow and to spy out the land?"	3 Και ειπον οι αρχοντες των υιων Αμμων προς τον Ανουν, Νομιζεις οτι ο Δαβιδ τιμων τον πατερα σου απεστειλε παρηγορητας προς σε; δεν ηλθον οι δουλοι αυτου προς σε δια να ερευνησωσι και να κατασκοπευσωσι και να καταστρεψωσι τον τοπον;
4 So Hanun took David's servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle, at their hips, and sent them away;	4 Και επιασεν ο Ανουν τους δουλους του Δαβιδ και εξυρισεν αυτους και απεκοψε το ημισυ των ιματιων αυτων μεχρι των γλουτων, και απεπεμψεν αυτους.
5 and they departed. When David was told concerning the men, he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, "Remain at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return."	5 Υπηγαν δε και απηγγειλαν προς τον Δαβιδ περι των ανδρων. Και απεστειλεν εις συναντησιν αυτων? επειδη οι ανδρες ησαν ητιμασμενοι σφοδρα. Και ειπεν ο βασιλευς, Καθησατε εν Ιεριχω εωσου αυξηθωσιν οι πωγωνες σας, και επιστρεψατε.
6 When the Ammonites saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the Ammonites sent a thousand talents of silver to hire chariots and horsemen from Mesopotamia, from Aram-maacah, and from Zobah.	6 Βλεποντες δε οι υιοι Αμμων οτι ησαν βδελυκτοι εις τον Δαβιδ, επεμψαν ο Ανουν και οι υιοι Αμμων χιλια ταλαντα αργυριου, δια να μισθωσωσιν εις εαυτους αμαξας και ιππεας εκ της Μεσοποταμιας και εκ της Συριας-μααχα και εκ της Σωβα.
7 They hired thirty-two thousand chariots and the king of Maacah with his army, who came and encamped before Medeba. And the Ammonites were mustered from their cities and came to battle.	7 Και εμισθωσαν εις εαυτους τριακοντα δυο χιλιαδας αμαξας και τον βασιλεα της Μααχα μετα του λαου αυτου, οιτινες ηλθον και εστρατοπεδευσαν κατεναντι της Μεδεβα. Και συναχθεντες οι υιοι Αμμων εκ των πολεων αυτων, ηλθον να πολεμησωσι.
8 When David heard of it, he sent Joab and all the army of the mighty men.	8 Και οτε ηκουσε ταυτα ο Δαβιδ, απεστειλε τον Ιωαβ και απαν το στρατευμα των δυνατων.
9 And the Ammonites came out and drew up in battle array at the entrance of the city, and the kings who had come were by themselves in the open country.	9 Και εξηλθον οι υιοι Αμμων και παρεταχθησαν εις πολεμον κατα την πυλην της πολεως? οι δε βασιλεις οι ελθοντες ησαν καθ' εαυτους εν τη πεδιαδι.
10 When Joab saw that the battle was set against him both in front and in the rear, he chose some of the picked men of Israel, and arrayed them against the Syrians;	10 Βλεπων δε ο Ιωαβ οτι η μαχη παρεταχθη εναντιον αυτου εμπροσθεν και οπισθεν, εξελεξεν εκ παντων των εκλεκτων του Ισραηλ και παρεταξεν αυτους εναντιον των Συριων.
11 the rest of his men he put in the charge of Abishai his brother, and they were arrayed against the Ammonites.	11 Το δε υπολοιπον του λαου εδωκεν εις την χειρα του Αβισαι αδελφου αυτου, και παρεταχθησαν εναντιον των υιων Αμμων.
12 And he said, "If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you shall help me; but if the Ammonites are too strong for you, then I will help you.	12 Και ειπεν, Εαν οι Συριοι υπερισχυσωσι κατ' εμου, τοτε συ θελεις με σωσει? εαν δε οι υιοι Αμμων υπερισχυσωσι κατα σου, τοτε εγω θελω σε σωσει?
13 Be of good courage, and let us play the man for our people, and for the cities of our God; and may the LORD do what seems good to him."	13 ανδριζου, και ας κραταιωθωμεν υπερ του λαου ημων και υπερ των πολεων του Θεου ημων? ο δε Κυριος ας καμη το αρεστον εις τους οφθαλμους αυτου.
14 So Joab and the people who were with him drew near before the Syrians for battle; and they fled before him.	14 Και προσηλθεν ο Ιωαβ και ο λαος ο μετ' αυτου εναντιον των Συριων εις μαχην? οι δε εφυγον απ' εμπροσθεν αυτου.
15 And when the Ammonites saw that the Syrians fled, they likewise fled before Abishai, Joab's brother, and entered the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.	15 Και οτε ειδον οι υιοι Αμμων οτι οι Συριοι εφυγον, εφυγον και αυτοι απ' εμπροσθεν του Αβισαι του αδελφου αυτου και εισηλθον εις την πολιν. Και ο Ιωαβ ηλθεν εις Ιερουσαλημ.
16 But when the Syrians saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they sent messengers and brought out the Syrians who were beyond the Euphrates, with Shophach the commander of the army of Hadadezer at their head.	16 Ιδοντες δε οι Συριοι οτι κατετροπωθησαν εμπροσθεν του Ισραηλ, απεστειλαν μηνυτας και εξηγαγον τους Συριους τους περαν του ποταμου? και Σωφακ, ο αρχιστρατηγος του Αδαρεζερ, επορευετο εμπροσθεν αυτων.
17 And when it was told David, he gathered all Israel together, and crossed the Jordan, and came to them, and drew up his forces against them. And when David set the battle in array against the Syrians, they fought with him.	17 Και οτε απηγγελθη προς τον Δαβιδ, συνηθροισε παντα τον Ισραηλ, και διεβη τον Ιορδανην και ηλθεν επ' αυτους και παρεταχθη εναντιον αυτων. Και οτε παρεταχθη ο Δαβιδ εις πολεμον εναντιον των Συριων, επολεμησαν με αυτον.
18 And the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians the men of seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand foot soldiers, and killed also Shophach the commander of their army.	18 Και εφυγον οι Συριοι απ' εμπροσθεν του Ισραηλ? και εξωλοθρευσεν ο Δαβιδ εκ των Συριων επτα χιλιαδας αμαξων και τεσσαρακοντα χιλιαδας πεζων? και Σωφαχ, τον αρχιστρατηγον, εθανατωσε.
19 And when the servants of Hadadezer saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they made peace with David, and became subject to him. So the Syrians were not willing to help the Ammonites any more.	19 Και ιδοντες οι δουλοι του Αδαρεζερ οτι κατετροπωθησαν εμπροσθεν του Ισραηλ, εκαμον ειρηνην μετα του Δαβιδ και εγειναν δουλοι αυτου? και δεν ηθελον πλεον οι Συριοι να βοηθησωσι τους υιους Αμμων.
