2 Samuel 3

DOUAI-RHEIMS	LXX
1 Now there was a long war between the house of Saul and the house of David: David prospering and growing always stronger and stronger, but the house of Saul decaying daily.	1 και εγενετο ο πολεμος επι πολυ ανα μεσον του οικου σαουλ και ανα μεσον του οικου δαυιδ και ο οικος δαυιδ επορευετο και εκραταιουτο και ο οικος σαουλ επορευετο και ησθενει
2 And sons were born to David in Hebron: and his firstborn was Amnon of Achinoam the Jezrahelitess:	2 και ετεχθησαν τω δαυιδ υιοι εν χεβρων και ην ο πρωτοτοκος αυτου αμνων της αχινοομ της ιεζραηλιτιδος
3 And his second Cheleab of Abigail the wife of Nabal of Carmel: and the third Absalom the son of Maacha the daughter of Tholmai king of Gessur:	3 και ο δευτερος αυτου δαλουια της αβιγαιας της καρμηλιας και ο τριτος αβεσσαλωμ υιος μααχα θυγατρος θολμι βασιλεως γεσιρ
4 And the fourth Adonias, the son of Haggith: and the fifth Saphathia the son of Abital:	4 και ο τεταρτος ορνια υιος φεγγιθ και ο πεμπτος σαβατια της αβιταλ
5 And the sixth Jethraam of Egla the wife of David: these were born to David in Hebron.	5 και ο εκτος ιεθερααμ της αιγλα γυναικος δαυιδ ουτοι ετεχθησαν τω δαυιδ εν χεβρων
6 Now while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, Abner the son of Ner ruled the house of Saul.	6 και εγενετο εν τω ειναι τον πολεμον ανα μεσον του οικου σαουλ και ανα μεσον του οικου δαυιδ και αβεννηρ ην κρατων του οικου σαουλ
7 And Saul had a concubine named Respha, the daughter of Aia. And Isboseth said to Abner:	7 και τω σαουλ παλλακη ρεσφα θυγατηρ ιαλ και ειπεν μεμφιβοσθε υιος σαουλ προς αβεννηρ τι οτι εισηλθες προς την παλλακην του πατρος μου
8 Why didst thou go in to my father's concubine? And he was exceedingly angry for the words of Isboseth, and said: Am I a dog's head against Juda this day, who have shewn mercy to the house of Saul thy father, and to his brethren and friends, and have not delivered thee into the hands of David, and hast thou sought this day against me to charge me with a matter concerning a woman?	8 και εθυμωθη σφοδρα αβεννηρ περι του λογου μεμφιβοσθε και ειπεν αβεννηρ προς αυτον μη κεφαλη κυνος εγω ειμι εποιησα ελεος σημερον μετα του οικου σαουλ του πατρος σου και περι αδελφων και γνωριμων και ουκ ηυτομολησα εις τον οικον δαυιδ και επιζητεις επ' εμε υπερ αδικιας γυναικος σημερον
9 So do God to Abner, and more also, unless as the Lord hath sworn to David, so I do to him,	9 ταδε ποιησαι ο θεος τω αβεννηρ και ταδε προσθειη αυτω οτι καθως ωμοσεν κυριος τω δαυιδ οτι ουτως ποιησω αυτω εν τη ημερα ταυτη
10 That the kingdom be translated from the house of Saul, and the throne of David be set up over Israel, and over Juda from Dan to Bersabee.	10 περιελειν την βασιλειαν απο του οικου σαουλ και του αναστησαι τον θρονον δαυιδ επι ισραηλ και επι τον ιουδαν απο δαν εως βηρσαβεε
11 And he could not answer him a word, because he feared him.	11 και ουκ ηδυνασθη ετι μεμφιβοσθε αποκριθηναι τω αβεννηρ ρημα απο του φοβεισθαι αυτον
12 Abner therefore sent messengers to David for himself, saying: Whose is the land? and that they should say: Make a league with me, and my hand shall be with thee: and I will bring all Israel to thee.	12 και απεστειλεν αβεννηρ αγγελους προς δαυιδ εις θαιλαμ ου ην παραχρημα λεγων διαθου διαθηκην σου μετ' εμου και ιδου η χειρ μου μετα σου του επιστρεψαι προς σε παντα τον οικον ισραηλ
13 And he said: Very well: I will make a league with thee: but one thing I require of thee, saying: Thou shalt not see my face before thou bring Michol the daughter of Saul: and so thou shalt come, and see me.	13 και ειπεν δαυιδ εγω καλως διαθησομαι προς σε διαθηκην πλην λογον ενα εγω αιτουμαι παρα σου λεγων ουκ οψει το προσωπον μου εαν μη αγαγης την μελχολ θυγατερα σαουλ παραγινομενου σου ιδειν το προσωπον μου
14 And David sent messengers to Isboseth the son of Saul, saying: Restore my wife Michol, whom I espoused to me for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines.	14 και εξαπεστειλεν δαυιδ προς μεμφιβοσθε υιον σαουλ αγγελους λεγων αποδος μοι την γυναικα μου την μελχολ ην ελαβον εν εκατον ακροβυστιαις αλλοφυλων
15 And Isboseth sent, and took her from her husband Phaltiel, the son of Lais.	15 και απεστειλεν μεμφιβοσθε και ελαβεν αυτην παρα του ανδρος αυτης παρα φαλτιηλ υιου σελλης
16 And her husband followed her, weeping as far as Bahurim: and Abner said to him: Go and return. And he returned.	16 και επορευετο ο ανηρ αυτης μετ' αυτης κλαιων οπισω αυτης εως βαρακιμ και ειπεν προς αυτον αβεννηρ πορευου αναστρεφε και ανεστρεψεν
17 Abner also spoke to the ancients of Israel, saying: Both yesterday and the day before you sought for David that he might reign over you.	17 και ειπεν αβεννηρ προς τους πρεσβυτερους ισραηλ λεγων εχθες και τριτην εζητειτε τον δαυιδ βασιλευειν εφ' υμων
18 Now then do it: because the Lord hath spoken to David, saying: By the hand of my servant David I will save my people Israel from the hands of the Philistines, and of all their enemies.	18 και νυν ποιησατε οτι κυριος ελαλησεν περι δαυιδ λεγων εν χειρι του δουλου μου δαυιδ σωσω τον ισραηλ εκ χειρος αλλοφυλων και εκ χειρος παντων των εχθρων αυτων
19 And Abner spoke also to Benjamin. And he went to speak to David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel, and to all Benjamin.	19 και ελαλησεν αβεννηρ εν τοις ωσιν βενιαμιν και επορευθη αβεννηρ του λαλησαι εις τα ωτα του δαυιδ εις χεβρων παντα οσα ηρεσεν εν οφθαλμοις ισραηλ και εν οφθαλμοις παντος οικου βενιαμιν
20 And he came to David in Hebron with twenty men: and David made a feast for Abner, and his men that came with him.	20 και ηλθεν αβεννηρ προς δαυιδ εις χεβρων και μετ' αυτου εικοσι ανδρες και εποιησεν δαυιδ τω αβεννηρ και τοις ανδρασιν τοις μετ' αυτου ποτον
21 And Abner said to David: I will rise, that I may gather all Israel unto thee my lord the king, and may enter into a league with thee, and that thou mayst reign over all as thy soul desireth. Now when David bad brought Abner on his way, and he was gone in peace,	21 και ειπεν αβεννηρ προς δαυιδ αναστησομαι δη και πορευσομαι και συναθροισω προς κυριον μου τον βασιλεα παντα ισραηλ και διαθησομαι μετα σου διαθηκην και βασιλευσεις επι πασιν οις επιθυμει η ψυχη σου και απεστειλεν δαυιδ τον αβεννηρ και επορευθη εν ειρηνη
22 Immediately David's servants and Joab came, after having slain the robbers, with an exceeding great booty: and Abner, was not with David in Hebron, for he had now sent him away, and he was gone in peace.	22 και ιδου οι παιδες δαυιδ και ιωαβ παρεγινοντο εκ της εξοδιας και σκυλα πολλα εφερον μετ' αυτων και αβεννηρ ουκ ην μετα δαυιδ εις χεβρων οτι απεσταλκει αυτον και απεληλυθει εν ειρηνη
23 And Joab and all the army that was with him, came afterwards: and it was told Joab, that Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he hath sent him away, and he is gone in peace.	23 και ιωαβ και πασα η στρατια αυτου ηχθησαν και απηγγελη τω ιωαβ λεγοντες ηκει αβεννηρ υιος νηρ προς δαυιδ και απεσταλκεν αυτον και απηλθεν εν ειρηνη
24 And Joab went in to the king, and said: What hast thou done? Behold Abner came to thee: Why didst thou send him away, and he is gone and departed?	24 και εισηλθεν ιωαβ προς τον βασιλεα και ειπεν τι τουτο εποιησας ιδου ηλθεν αβεννηρ προς σε και ινα τι εξαπεσταλκας αυτον και απεληλυθεν εν ειρηνη
25 Knowest thou not Abner the son of Ner, that to this end he came to thee, that he might deceive thee, and to know thy going out, and thy coming in, and to know all thou dost?	25 η ουκ οιδας την κακιαν αβεννηρ υιου νηρ οτι απατησαι σε παρεγενετο και γνωναι την εξοδον σου και την εισοδον σου και γνωναι απαντα οσα συ ποιεις
26 Then Joab going out from David, sent messengers after Abner, and brought him back from the cistern of Sira, David knowing nothing of it.	26 και ανεστρεψεν ιωαβ απο του δαυιδ και απεστειλεν αγγελους οπισω αβεννηρ και επιστρεφουσιν αυτον απο του φρεατος του σειραμ και δαυιδ ουκ ηδει
27 And when Abner was returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside to the middle of the gate, to speak to him treacherously: and he stabbed him there in the groin, and he died, in revenge of the blood of Asael his brother.	27 και επεστρεψεν αβεννηρ εις χεβρων και εξεκλινεν αυτον ιωαβ εκ πλαγιων της πυλης λαλησαι προς αυτον ενεδρευων και επαταξεν αυτον εκει επι την ψοαν και απεθανεν εν τω αιματι ασαηλ του αδελφου ιωαβ
28 And when David heard of it, after the thing was now done, he said: I, and my kingdom are innocent before the Lord for ever of the blood of Abner the son of Ner:	28 και ηκουσεν δαυιδ μετα ταυτα και ειπεν αθωος ειμι εγω και η βασιλεια μου απο κυριου εως αιωνος απο των αιματων αβεννηρ υιου νηρ
29 And may it come upon the head of Joab, and upon all his father's house: and let there not fail from the house of Joab one that hath an issue of seed, or that is a leper, or that holdeth the distaff, or that falleth by the sword, or that wanteth bread.	29 καταντησατωσαν επι κεφαλην ιωαβ και επι παντα τον οικον του πατρος αυτου και μη εκλιποι εκ του οικου ιωαβ γονορρυης και λεπρος και κρατων σκυταλης και πιπτων εν ρομφαια και ελασσουμενος αρτοις
30 So Joab and Abisai his brother slew Abner, because he had killed their brother Asael at Gabaon in the battle.	30 ιωαβ δε και αβεσσα ο αδελφος αυτου διεπαρετηρουντο τον αβεννηρ ανθ' ων εθανατωσεν τον ασαηλ τον αδελφον αυτων εν γαβαων εν τω πολεμω
31 And David said to Joab, and to all the people that were with him: Rend your garments, and gird yourselves with sackcloths, and mourn before the funeral of Abner. And king David himself followed the bier.	31 και ειπεν δαυιδ προς ιωαβ και προς παντα τον λαον τον μετ' αυτου διαρρηξατε τα ιματια υμων και περιζωσασθε σακκους και κοπτεσθε εμπροσθεν αβεννηρ και ο βασιλευς δαυιδ επορευετο οπισω της κλινης
32 And when they had buried Abner in Hebron, king David lifted up his voice, and wept at the grave of Abner: and all the people also wept.	32 και θαπτουσιν τον αβεννηρ εις χεβρων και ηρεν ο βασιλευς την φωνην αυτου και εκλαυσεν επι του ταφου αυτου και εκλαυσεν πας ο λαος επι αβεννηρ
33 And the king mourning and lamenting over Abner, said: Not as cowards are wont to die, hath Abner died.	33 και εθρηνησεν ο βασιλευς επι αβεννηρ και ειπεν ει κατα τον θανατον ναβαλ αποθανειται αβεννηρ
34 Thy hands were not bound, nor thy feet laden with fetters: but as men fall before the children of iniquity, so didst thou fall. And all the people repeating it wept over him.	34 αι χειρες σου ουκ εδεθησαν οι ποδες σου ουκ εν πεδαις ου προσηγαγεν ως ναβαλ ενωπιον υιων αδικιας επεσας και συνηχθη πας ο λαος του κλαυσαι αυτον
35 And when all the people came to take meat with David, while it was yet broad day, David swore, saying: So do God to me, and more also, if I taste bread or any thing else before sunset.	35 και ηλθεν πας ο λαος περιδειπνησαι τον δαυιδ αρτοις ετι ουσης ημερας και ωμοσεν δαυιδ λεγων ταδε ποιησαι μοι ο θεος και ταδε προσθειη οτι εαν μη δυη ο ηλιος ου μη γευσωμαι αρτου η απο παντος τινος
36 And all the people heard, and they were pleased, and all that the king did seemed good in the sight of all the people.	36 και εγνω πας ο λαος και ηρεσεν ενωπιον αυτων παντα οσα εποιησεν ο βασιλευς ενωπιον του λαου
37 And all the people, and all Israel understood that day that it was not the king's doing, that Abner the son of Ner was slain.	37 και εγνω πας ο λαος και πας ισραηλ εν τη ημερα εκεινη οτι ουκ εγενετο παρα του βασιλεως θανατωσαι τον αβεννηρ υιον νηρ
38 The king also said to his servants: Do you not know that a prince and great man is slain this day in Israel?	38 και ειπεν ο βασιλευς προς τους παιδας αυτου ουκ οιδατε οτι ηγουμενος μεγας πεπτωκεν εν τη ημερα ταυτη εν τω ισραηλ
39 But I as yet am tender, though anointed king. And these men the sons of Sarvia are too hard for me: the Lord reward him that doth evil according to his wickedness.	39 και οτι εγω ειμι σημερον συγγενης και καθεσταμενος υπο βασιλεως οι δε ανδρες ουτοι υιοι σαρουιας σκληροτεροι μου εισιν ανταποδω κυριος τω ποιουντι πονηρα κατα την κακιαν αυτου
