1 Samuel 25

DOUAI-RHEIMS	LXX
1 And Samuel died, and all Israel was gathered together, and they mourned for him, and buried him in his house in Ramatha. And David rose and went down into the wilderness of Pharan.	1 και απεθανεν σαμουηλ και συναθροιζονται πας ισραηλ και κοπτονται αυτον και θαπτουσιν αυτον εν οικω αυτου εν αρμαθαιμ και ανεστη δαυιδ και κατεβη εις την ερημον μααν
2 Now there was a certain man in the wilderness of Maon, and his possessions were in Carmel, and the man was very great: and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and it happened that he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.	2 και ην ανθρωπος εν τη μααν και τα ποιμνια αυτου εν τω καρμηλω και ο ανθρωπος μεγας σφοδρα και τουτω ποιμνια τρισχιλια και αιγες χιλιαι και εγενηθη εν τω κειρειν το ποιμνιον αυτου εν τω καρμηλω
3 Now the name of the man was Nabal: and the name of his wife was Abigail. And she was a prudent and very comely woman, but her husband was churlish, and very bad and ill natured: and he was of the house of Caleb.	3 και ονομα τω ανθρωπω ναβαλ και ονομα τη γυναικι αυτου αβιγαια και η γυνη αυτου αγαθη συνεσει και καλη τω ειδει σφοδρα και ο ανθρωπος σκληρος και πονηρος εν επιτηδευμασιν και ο ανθρωπος κυνικος
4 And when David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep,	4 και ηκουσεν δαυιδ εν τη ερημω οτι κειρει ναβαλ ο καρμηλιος το ποιμνιον αυτου
5 He sent ten young men, and said to them: Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and salute him in my name with peace.	5 και δαυιδ απεστειλεν δεκα παιδαρια και ειπεν τοις παιδαριοις αναβητε εις καρμηλον και απελθατε προς ναβαλ και ερωτησατε αυτον επι τω ονοματι μου εις ειρηνην
6 And you shall say: Peace be to my brethren, and to thee, and peace to thy house, and peace to all that thou hast.	6 και ερειτε ταδε εις ωρας και συ υγιαινων και ο οικος σου και παντα τα σα υγιαινοντα
7 I heard that thy shepherds that were with us in the desert were shearing: we never molested them, neither was there ought missing to them of the flock at any time, all the while they were with us in Carmel.	7 και νυν ιδου ακηκοα οτι κειρουσιν σοι νυν οι ποιμενες σου οι ησαν μεθ' ημων εν τη ερημω και ουκ απεκωλυσαμεν αυτους και ουκ ενετειλαμεθα αυτοις ουθεν πασας τας ημερας οντων αυτων εν καρμηλω
8 Ask thy servants, and they will tell thee. Now therefore let thy servants find favour in thy eyes: for we are come in a good day, whatsoever thy hand shall find give to thy servants, and to thy son David.	8 ερωτησον τα παιδαρια σου και απαγγελουσιν σοι και ευρετωσαν τα παιδαρια χαριν εν οφθαλμοις σου οτι εφ' ημεραν αγαθην ηκομεν δος δη ο εαν ευρη η χειρ σου τω υιω σου τω δαυιδ
9 And when David's servants came, they spoke to Nabal all these words in David's name: and then held their peace.	9 και ερχονται τα παιδαρια και λαλουσιν τους λογους τουτους προς ναβαλ κατα παντα τα ρηματα ταυτα εν τω ονοματι δαυιδ και ανεπηδησεν
10 But Nabal answering the servants of David, said: Who is David? and what is the son of Isai? servants are multiplied now a days who flee from their masters.	10 και απεκριθη ναβαλ τοις παισιν δαυιδ και ειπεν τις ο δαυιδ και τις ο υιος ιεσσαι σημερον πεπληθυμμενοι εισιν οι δουλοι αναχωρουντες εκαστος εκ προσωπου του κυριου αυτου
11 Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and the flesh of my cattle, which I have killed for my shearers, and give to men whom I know not whence they are?	11 και λημψομαι τους αρτους μου και τον οινον μου και τα θυματα μου α τεθυκα τοις κειρουσιν μου τα προβατα και δωσω αυτα ανδρασιν οις ουκ οιδα ποθεν εισιν
12 So the servants of David went back their way, and returning came and told him all the words that he said.	12 και απεστραφησαν τα παιδαρια δαυιδ εις οδον αυτων και ανεστρεψαν και ηλθον και ανηγγειλαν τω δαυιδ κατα τα ρηματα ταυτα
13 Then David said to his young men: Let every man gird on his sword. And they girded on every man his sword. And David also girded on his sword: and there followed David about four hundred men: and two hundred remained with the baggage.	13 και ειπεν δαυιδ τοις ανδρασιν αυτου ζωσασθε εκαστος την ρομφαιαν αυτου και ανεβησαν οπισω δαυιδ ως τετρακοσιοι ανδρες και οι διακοσιοι εκαθισαν μετα των σκευων
14 But one of the servants told Abigail the wife of Nabal, saying: Behold David sent messengers out of the wilderness, to salute our master: and he rejected them.	14 και τη αβιγαια γυναικι ναβαλ απηγγειλεν εν των παιδαριων λεγων ιδου δαυιδ απεστειλεν αγγελους εκ της ερημου ευλογησαι τον κυριον ημων και εξεκλινεν απ' αυτων
15 These men were very good to us, and gave us no trouble: neither did we ever lose any thing all the time that we conversed with them in the desert.	15 και οι ανδρες αγαθοι ημιν σφοδρα ουκ απεκωλυσαν ημας ουδε ενετειλαντο ημιν πασας τας ημερας ας ημεν παρ' αυτοις και εν τω ειναι ημας εν αγρω
16 They were a wall unto us both by night and day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.	16 ως τειχος ησαν περι ημας και την νυκτα και την ημεραν πασας τας ημερας ας ημεθα παρ' αυτοις ποιμαινοντες το ποιμνιον
17 Wherefore consider, and think what thou hast to do: for evil is determined against thy husband, and against thy house, and he is a son of Belial, so that no man can speak to him.	17 και νυν γνωθι και ιδε τι συ ποιησεις οτι συντετελεσται η κακια εις τον κυριον ημων και εις τον οικον αυτου και ουτος υιος λοιμος και ουκ εστιν λαλησαι προς αυτον
18 Then Abigail made haste and took two hundred loaves, and two vessels of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched corn, and a hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of dry figs, and laid them upon asses:	18 και εσπευσεν αβιγαια και ελαβεν διακοσιους αρτους και δυο αγγεια οινου και πεντε προβατα πεποιημενα και πεντε οιφι αλφιτου και γομορ εν σταφιδος και διακοσιας παλαθας και εθετο επι τους ονους
19 And she said to her servants: Go before me: behold I will follow after you: but she told not her husband Nabal.	19 και ειπεν τοις παιδαριοις αυτης προπορευεσθε εμπροσθεν μου και ιδου εγω οπισω υμων παραγινομαι και τω ανδρι αυτης ουκ απηγγειλεν
20 And when she had gotten upon an ass, and was coming down to the foot of the mountain, David and his men came down over against her, and she met them.	20 και εγενηθη αυτης επιβεβηκυιης επι την ονον και καταβαινουσης εν σκεπη του ορους και ιδου δαυιδ και οι ανδρες αυτου κατεβαινον εις συναντησιν αυτης και απηντησεν αυτοις
21 And David said: Truly in vain have I kept all that belonged to this man in the wilderness, and nothing was lost of all that pertained unto him: and he hath returned me evil for good.	21 και δαυιδ ειπεν ισως εις αδικον πεφυλακα παντα τα αυτου εν τη ερημω και ουκ ενετειλαμεθα λαβειν εκ παντων των αυτου ουθεν και ανταπεδωκεν μοι πονηρα αντι αγαθων
22 May God do so and so, and add more to the foes of David, if I leave of all that belong to him till the morning, any that pisseth against the wall.	22 ταδε ποιησαι ο θεος τω δαυιδ και ταδε προσθειη ει υπολειψομαι εκ παντων των του ναβαλ εως πρωι ουρουντα προς τοιχον
23 And when Abigail saw David she made haste and lighted off the ass, and fell before David, on her face, and adored upon the ground.	23 και ειδεν αβιγαια τον δαυιδ και εσπευσεν και κατεπηδησεν απο της ονου και επεσεν ενωπιον δαυιδ επι προσωπον αυτης και προσεκυνησεν αυτω επι την γην
24 And she fell at his feet, and said: Upon me let this iniquity be, my lord: let thy handmaid speak, I beseech thee, in thy ears: and hear the words of thy servant.	24 επι τους ποδας αυτου και ειπεν εν εμοι κυριε μου η αδικια λαλησατω δη η δουλη σου εις τα ωτα σου και ακουσον της δουλης σου λογον
25 Let not my lord the king, I pray, regard this naughty man Nabal: for according to his name, he is a fool, and folly is with him: but I thy handmaid did not see thy servants, my lord, whom thou sentest.	25 μη δη θεσθω ο κυριος μου καρδιαν αυτου επι τον ανθρωπον τον λοιμον τουτον οτι κατα το ονομα αυτου ουτως εστιν ναβαλ ονομα αυτω και αφροσυνη μετ' αυτου και εγω η δουλη σου ουκ ειδον τα παιδαρια σου α απεστειλας
26 Now therefore, my lord, the Lord liveth, and thy soul liveth, who hath withholden thee from coming to blood, and hath saved thy hand to thee: and now let thy enemies be as Nabal, and all they that seek evil to my lord.	26 και νυν κυριε ζη κυριος και ζη η ψυχη σου καθως εκωλυσεν σε κυριος του μη ελθειν εις αιμα αθωον και σωζειν την χειρα σου σοι και νυν γενοιντο ως ναβαλ οι εχθροι σου και οι ζητουντες τω κυριω μου κακα
27 Wherefore receive this blessing, which thy handmaid hath brought to thee, my lord: and give it to the young men that follow thee, my lord.	27 και νυν λαβε την ευλογιαν ταυτην ην ενηνοχεν η δουλη σου τω κυριω μου και δωσεις τοις παιδαριοις τοις παρεστηκοσιν τω κυριω μου
28 Forgive the iniquity of thy handmaid: for the Lord will surely make for my lord a faithful house, because thou, my lord, fightest the battles of the Lord: let not evil therefore be found in thee all the days of thy life.	28 αρον δη το ανομημα της δουλης σου οτι ποιων ποιησει κυριος τω κυριω μου οικον πιστον οτι πολεμον κυριου ο κυριος μου πολεμει και κακια ουχ ευρεθησεται εν σοι πωποτε
29 For if a man at any time shall rise, and persecute thee, and seek thy life, the soul of my lord shall be kept, as in the bundle of the living, with the Lord thy God: but the souls of thy enemies shall be whirled, as with the violence and whirling of a sling.	29 και αναστησεται ανθρωπος καταδιωκων σε και ζητων την ψυχην σου και εσται η ψυχη κυριου μου ενδεδεμενη εν δεσμω της ζωης παρα κυριω τω θεω και ψυχην εχθρων σου σφενδονησεις εν μεσω της σφενδονης
30 And when the Lord shall have done to thee, my lord, all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have made thee prince over Israel,	30 και εσται οτι ποιησει κυριος τω κυριω μου παντα οσα ελαλησεν αγαθα επι σε και εντελειται σοι κυριος εις ηγουμενον επι ισραηλ
31 This shall not be an occasion of grief to thee, and a scruple of heart to my lord, that thou hast shed innocent blood, or hast revenged thyself: and when the Lord shall have done well by my lord, thou shalt remember thy handmaid.	31 και ουκ εσται σοι τουτο βδελυγμος και σκανδαλον τω κυριω μου εκχεαι αιμα αθωον δωρεαν και σωσαι χειρα κυριου μου αυτω και αγαθωσει κυριος τω κυριω μου και μνησθηση της δουλης σου αγαθωσαι αυτη
32 And David said to Abigail: Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, who sent thee this day to meet me, and blessed be thy speech:	32 και ειπεν δαυιδ τη αβιγαια ευλογητος κυριος ο θεος ισραηλ ος απεστειλεν σε σημερον εν ταυτη εις απαντησιν μου
33 And blessed be thou, who hast kept me to day, from coming to blood, and revenging me with my own hand.	33 και ευλογητος ο τροπος σου και ευλογημενη συ η αποκωλυσασα με σημερον εν ταυτη μη ελθειν εις αιματα και σωσαι χειρα μου εμοι
34 Otherwise as the Lord liveth the God of Israel, who hath withholden me from doing thee any evil: if thou hadst not quickly come to meet me, there had not been left to Nabal by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.	34 πλην οτι ζη κυριος ο θεος ισραηλ ος απεκωλυσεν με σημερον του κακοποιησαι σε οτι ει μη εσπευσας και παρεγενου εις απαντησιν μοι τοτε ειπα ει υπολειφθησεται τω ναβαλ εως φωτος του πρωι ουρων προς τοιχον
35 And David received at her hand all that she had brought him, and said to her: Go in peace into thy house, behold I have heard thy voice, and have honoured thy face.	35 και ελαβεν δαυιδ εκ χειρος αυτης παντα α εφερεν αυτω και ειπεν αυτη αναβηθι εις ειρηνην εις οικον σου βλεπε ηκουσα της φωνης σου και ηρετισα το προσωπον σου
36 And Abigail came to Nabal: and behold he had a feast in his house, like the feast of a king, and Nabal's heart was merry: for he was very drunk: and she told him nothing less or more until morning.	36 και παρεγενηθη αβιγαια προς ναβαλ και ιδου αυτω ποτος εν οικω αυτου ως ποτος βασιλεως και η καρδια ναβαλ αγαθη επ' αυτον και αυτος μεθυων εως σφοδρα και ουκ απηγγειλεν αυτω ρημα μικρον η μεγα εως φωτος του πρωι
37 But early in the morning when Nabal had digested his wine, his wife told him these words, and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.	37 και εγενετο πρωι ως εξενηψεν απο του οινου ναβαλ απηγγειλεν αυτω η γυνη αυτου τα ρηματα ταυτα και εναπεθανεν η καρδια αυτου εν αυτω και αυτος γινεται ως λιθος
38 And after ten days had passed, the Lord struck Nabal, and he died.	38 και εγενετο ωσει δεκα ημεραι και επαταξεν κυριος τον ναβαλ και απεθανεν
39 And when David had heard that Nabal was dead, he said: Blessed be the Lord, who hath judged the cause of my reproach at the hand of Nabal, and hath kept his servant from evil, and the Lord hath returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his head. The n David sent and treated with Abigail, that he might take her to himself for a wife.	39 και ηκουσεν δαυιδ και ειπεν ευλογητος κυριος ος εκρινεν την κρισιν του ονειδισμου μου εκ χειρος ναβαλ και τον δουλον αυτου περιεποιησατο εκ χειρος κακων και την κακιαν ναβαλ απεστρεψεν κυριος εις κεφαλην αυτου και απεστειλεν δαυιδ και ελαλησεν περι αβιγαιας λαβειν αυτην εαυτω εις γυναικα
40 And David's servants came to Abigail to Carmel, and spoke to her, saying: David hath sent us to thee, to take thee to himself for a wife.	40 και ηλθον οι παιδες δαυιδ προς αβιγαιαν εις καρμηλον και ελαλησαν αυτη λεγοντες δαυιδ απεστειλεν ημας προς σε λαβειν σε αυτω εις γυναικα
41 And she arose and bowed herself down with her face to the earth, and said: Behold, let thy servant be a handmaid, to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.	41 και ανεστη και προσεκυνησεν επι την γην επι προσωπον και ειπεν ιδου η δουλη σου εις παιδισκην νιψαι ποδας των παιδων σου
42 And Abigail arose, and made haste, and got upon an ass, and five damsels went with her, her waiting maids, and she followed the messengers of David, and became his wife.	42 και ανεστη αβιγαια και επεβη επι την ονον και πεντε κορασια ηκολουθουν αυτη και επορευθη οπισω των παιδων δαυιδ και γινεται αυτω εις γυναικα
43 Moreover David took also Achinoam of Jezrahel: and they were both of them his wives.	43 και την αχινααμ ελαβεν δαυιδ εξ ιεζραελ και αμφοτεραι ησαν αυτω γυναικες
44 But Saul gave Michol his daughter, David's wife, to Phalti, the son of Lais, who was of Gallium.	44 και σαουλ εδωκεν μελχολ την θυγατερα αυτου την γυναικα δαυιδ τω φαλτι υιω λαις τω εκ ρομμα
