ΒΑΣΙΛΕΙΩΝ Β´ - 2 Samuele - Kings II 15

GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Μετα δε ταυτα ητοιμασεν εις εαυτον ο Αβεσσαλωμ αμαξας και ιππους και πεντηκοντα ανδρας, δια να τρεχωσιν εμπροσθεν αυτου.	1 Then, after these things, Absalom obtained for himself chariots, and horsemen, and fifty men who went before him.
2 Και εσηκονετο ο Αβεσσαλωμ πρωι, και ιστατο εις τα πλαγια της οδου της πυλης? και οποτε τις εχων διαφοραν τινα ηρχετο προς τον βασιλεα δια κρισιν, τοτε ο Αβεσσαλωμ εκαλει αυτον προς εαυτον και ελεγεν, Εκ ποιας πολεως εισαι; Ο δε απεκρινετο, Ο δουλος σου ειναι εκ της δεινος φυλης του Ισραηλ.	2 And rising up in the morning, Absalom was standing beside the entrance of the gate. And when there was any man who had a dispute that might go before the king’s judgment, Absalom would call him to him, and would say, “Which city are you from?” And responding, he would say, “I am your servant, from a certain tribe of Israel.”
3 Και ελεγε προς αυτον ο Αβεσσαλωμ, Ιδε, η υποθεσις σου ειναι καλη και ορθη? πλην δεν ειναι ουδεις ο ακουων σε απο μερους του βασιλεως.	3 And Absalom would answer him: “Your words seem good and just to me. But there is no one appointed by the king to hear you.” And Absalom would say:
4 Ελεγε προσετι ο Αβεσσαλωμ, Τις να με εδιωριζε κριτην του τοπου, δια να ερχηται προς εμε πας οστις εχει διαφοραν η κρισιν, και να δικαιονω αυτον.	4 “Who may appoint me judge over the land, so that all those who have a dispute might come to me, and I might judge justly.”
5 Και οποτε τις επλησιαζε δια να προσκυνηση αυτον, ηπλονε την χειρα αυτου και επιανεν αυτον και εφιλει αυτον.	5 Then too, when a man would draw near to him, so that he might greet him, he would extend his hand, and taking hold of him, he would kiss him.
6 Και εκαμνεν ο Αβεσσαλωμ κατα τουτον τον τροπον εις παντα Ισραηλιτην ερχομενον προς τον βασιλεα δια κρισιν? και υπεκλεπτεν ο Αβεσσαλωμ τας καρδιας των ανδρων Ισραηλ.	6 And he was doing this to all those of Israel arriving for judgment to be heard by the king. And he solicited the hearts of the men of Israel.
7 Και εις το τελος τεσσαρακοντα ετων ειπεν ο Αβεσσαλωμ προς τον βασιλεα, Ας υπαγω, παρακαλω, δια να εκπληρωσω την ευχην μου, την οποιαν ηυχηθην εις τον Κυριον, εν Χεβρων?	7 Then, after forty years, Absalom said to king David: “I should go and pay my vows, which I have vowed to the Lord at Hebron.
8 διοτι ο δουλος σου ηυχηθη ευχην, οτε κατωκει εν Γεσσουρ εν Συρια, λεγων? Εαν ο Κυριος με επιστρεψη τωοντι εις Ιερουσαλημ, τοτε θελω προσφερει θυσιαν εις τον Κυριον.	8 For your servant made a vow, when he was in Geshur of Syria, saying: If the Lord will lead me back to Jerusalem, I will sacrifice to the Lord.”
9 Και ειπε προς αυτον ο βασιλευς, Υπαγε εν ειρηνη. Και σηκωθεις, υπηγεν εις Χεβρων.	9 And king David said to him, “Go in peace.” And he rose up and went away to Hebron.
10 Απεστειλε δε ο Αβεσσαλωμ κατασκοπους εις πασας τας φυλας του Ισραηλ, λεγων, Καθως ακουσητε την φωνην της σαλπιγγος, θελετε ειπει Ο Αβεσσαλωμ εβασιλευσεν εν Χεβρων.	10 They Absalom sent scouts into all the tribes of Israel, saying: “As soon as you hear the blare of the trumpet, say: ‘Absalom reigns in Hebron.’ ”
11 Και υπηγαν μετα του Αβεσσαλωμ διακοσιοι ανδρες εξ Ιερουσαλημ, κεκλημενοι και υπηγαν εν τη απλοτητι αυτων και δεν ηξευραν ουδεν.	11 Now having been called, two hundred men from Jerusalem went forth with Absalom, going in simplicity of heart and being entirely ignorant of the plan.
12 Και προσεκαλεσεν ο Αβεσσαλωμ Αχιτοφελ τον Γιλωναιον, τον συμβουλον του Δαβιδ, εκ της πολεως αυτου, εκ Γιλω, ενω προσεφερε τας θυσιας. Και η συνωμοσια ητο δυνατη και ο λαος επληθυνετο αδιακοπως πλησιον του Αβεσσαλωμ.	12 Absalom also summoned Ahithophel the Gilonite, a counselor of David, from his city, Giloh. And when he was immolating victims, a very strong oath was sworn, and the people, hurrying together, joined with Absalom.
13 Ηλθε δε μηνυτης προς τον Δαβιδ λεγων, Αι καρδιαι των ανδρων Ισραηλ εστραφησαν κατοπιν του Αβεσσαλωμ.	13 Then a messenger went to David, saying, “With their whole heart, all of Israel is following Absalom.”
14 Και ειπεν ο Δαβιδ προς παντας τους δουλους αυτου τους μεθ' αυτου εν Ιερουσαλημ, Σηκωθητε, και ας φυγωμεν? διοτι δεν θελομεν δυνηθη να διασωθωμεν απο προσωπου του Αβεσσαλωμ? σπευσατε να αναχωρησωμεν, δια να μη επιταχυνη και καταφθαση ημας και σπρωξη το κακον εφ' ημας και παταξη την πολιν εν στοματι μαχαιρας.	14 And David said to his servants, who were with him in Jerusalem: “Rise up, let us flee! For otherwise there will be no escape for us from the face of Absalom. Hurry to depart, lest perhaps, upon arriving, he may seize us, and force ruin upon us, and strike the city with the edge of the sword.”
15 Και οι δουλοι του βασιλεως ειπαν προς τον βασιλεα, Εις παν, ο, τι εκλεξη ο κυριος μου ο βασιλευς, ιδου, οι δουλοι σου.	15 And the servants of the king said to him, “Everything whatsoever that our lord the king will command, we your servants shall carry out willingly.”
16 Και εξηλθεν ο βασιλευς και πας ο οικος αυτου κατοπιν αυτου. Και αφηκεν ο βασιλευς τας δεκα γυναικας τας παλλακας δια να φυλαττωσι τον οικον.	16 Therefore, the king departed, with his entire household on foot. And the king left behind ten women of the concubines to care for the house.
17 Και εξηλθεν ο βασιλευς και πας ο λαος κατοπιν αυτου, και εσταθησαν εις τοπον μακραν απεχοντα.	17 And having gone forth on foot, the king and all of Israel stood at a distance from the house.
18 Και παντες οι δουλοι αυτου επορευοντο πλησιον αυτου? και παντες οι Χερεθαιοι και παντες οι Φελεθαιοι και παντες οι Γετθαιοι, εξακοσιοι ανδρες, οι ελθοντες οπισω αυτου απο Γαθ, προεπορευοντο εμπροσθεν του βασιλεως.	18 And all his servants were walking beside him. And the legions of the Cerethites and Phelethites, and all the Gittites, powerful fighters, six hundred men who had followed him from Gath on foot, were preceding the king.
19 Τοτε ειπεν ο βασιλευς προς Ιτται τον Γετθαιον, Δια τι ερχεσαι και συ μεθ' ημων; επιστρεψον και κατοικει μετα του βασιλεως, διοτι εισαι ξενος, και μαλιστα εισαι μετωκισμενος εκ του τοπου σου?	19 Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite: “Why do you come with us? Return and live with the king. For you are a stranger, and you departed from your own place.
20 χθες ηλθες, και σημερον θελω σε καμει να περιπλανασαι μεθ' ημων; εγω δε υπαγω οπου δυνηθω? επιστρεψον και λαβε και τους αδελφους σου? ελεος και αληθεια μετα σου.	20 You arrived yesterday. And today should you be compelled to go away with us? For I should go to the place where I am going. But you should return, and lead your own brothers back with you. And the Lord will show mercy and truth to you, because you have shown grace and faith.”
21 Ο δε Ιτται απεκριθη προς τον βασιλεα και ειπε, Ζη Κυριος, και ζη ο κυριος μου ο βασιλευς, οπου και αν ηναι ο κυριος μου ο βασιλευς, ειτε εις θανατον, ειτε εις ζωην, βεβαιως εκει θελει εισθαι και ο δουλος σου.	21 And Ittai responded to the king, by saying, “As the Lord lives, and as my lord the king lives, in whatever place you will be, my lord the king, whether in death or in life, your servant will be there.”
22 Και ειπεν ο Δαβιδ προς τον Ιτται, Ελθε λοιπον, και διαβαινε. Και διεβη ο Ιτται ο Γετθαιος και παντες οι ανδρες αυτου και παντα τα παιδια τα μετ' αυτου.	22 And David said to Ittai, “Come, and pass over.” And Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all the men who were with him, and the rest of the multitude.
23 Ολος δε ο τοπος εκλαιε μετα φωνης μεγαλης, και διεβαινε πας ο λαος? διεβη και ο βασιλευς τον χειμαρρον Κεδρων? και πας ο λαος διεβη κατα την οδον της ερημου.	23 And they all wept with a great voice, and all the people passed over. The king also passed over the torrent Kidron. And all the people advanced opposite the way which looks out toward the desert.
24 Και ιδου, προσετι ο Σαδωκ και παντες οι Λευιται μετ' αυτου, φεροντες την κιβωτον της διαθηκης του Θεου? και εστησαν την κιβωτον του Θεου? ανεβη δε ο Αβιαθαρ, αφου ετελειωσε πας ο λαος διαβαινων απο της πολεως.	24 Now Zadok the priest also went, and all the Levites went with him, carrying the ark of the covenant of God. And they set down the ark of God. And Abiathar went up, until all the people who had departed from the city had gone by.
25 Και ειπεν ο βασιλευς προς τον Σαδωκ, Αποστρεψον την κιβωτον του Θεου εις την πολιν? εαν ευρω χαριν εις τους οφθαλμους του Κυριου, θελει με καμει να επιστρεψω και να ιδω αυτην και το κατοικητηριον αυτου?	25 And the king said to Zadok: “Carry back the ark of God into the city. If I shall find grace in the sight of the Lord, he will lead me back. And he will show it to me in his tabernacle.
26 αλλ' εαν ειπη ουτω, Δεν εχω ευαρεσκειαν εις σε, ιδου, εγω, ας καμη εις εμε ο, τι φανη αρεστον εις τους οφθαλμους αυτου.	26 But if he will say to me, ‘You are not pleasing,’ I am ready. Let him do whatever is good in his own sight.”
27 Ο βασιλευς ειπεν ετι προς Σαδωκ τον ιερεα, Δεν εισαι συ ο βλεπων; επιστρεψον εις την πολιν εν ειρηνη, και Αχιμαας ο υιος σου και Ιωναθαν ο υιος του Αβιαθαρ, οι δυο υιοι σας μεθ' υμων?	27 And the king said to Zadok the priest: “O seer, return into the city in peace. And let your son Ahimaaz, and Jonathan, the son of Abiathar, your two sons, be with you.
28 ιδετε, εγω θελω μενει εις τας πεδιαδας της ερημου, εωσου ελθη λογος παρ' υμων δια να μοι αναγγειλη.	28 Behold, I will hide in the plains of the desert, until word from you may arrive to inform me.”
29 Ο Σαδωκ λοιπον και ο Αβιαθαρ επανεφεραν την κιβωτον του Θεου εις Ιερουσαλημ και εμειναν εκει.	29 Therefore, Zadok and Abiathar carried back the ark of God into Jerusalem, and they remained there.
30 Ο δε Δαβιδ ανεβαινε δια της αναβασεως των Ελαιων, αναβαινων και κλαιων και εχων την κεφαλην αυτου κεκαλυμμενην και περιπατων ανυποδητος? και πας ο λαος ο μετ' αυτου ειχεν εκαστος κεκαλυμμενην την κεφαλην αυτου, και ανεβαινον πορευομενοι και κλαιοντες.	30 But David ascended to the Mount of Olives, climbing and weeping, advancing with bare feet and with his head covered. Moreover, all the people who were with him ascended, weeping with their heads covered.
31 Και απηγγειλαν προς τον Δαβιδ, λεγοντες, Ο Αχιτοφελ ειναι μεταξυ των συνωμοτων μετα του Αβεσσαλωμ. Και ειπεν ο Δαβιδ, Κυριε, δεομαι σου, διασκεδασον την βουλην του Αχιτοφελ.	31 Then it was reported to David that Ahithophel also had joined in swearing with Absalom. And David said, “ O Lord, I beg you, to uncover the foolishness of the counsel of Ahithophel.”
32 Και οτε ηλθεν ο Δαβιδ εις την κορυφην του ορους, οπου προσεκυνησε τον Θεον, ιδου, ηλθεν εις συναντησιν αυτου Χουσαι ο Αρχιτης, εχων διεσχισμενον τον χιτωνα αυτου και χωμα επι της ο κεφαλης αυτου.	32 And when David had ascended to the summit of the mountain, where he was going to adore the Lord, behold Hushai the Archite met him, with his garment torn and his head covered with soil.
33 Και ειπε προς αυτον ο Δαβιδ, Εαν διαβης μετ' εμου, θελεις βεβαιως εισθαι φορτιον επ' εμε?	33 And David said to him: “If you come with me, you will be a burden to me.
34 εαν ομως επιστρεψης εις την πολιν και ειπης προς τον Αβεσσαλωμ, Θελω εισθαι δουλος σου, βασιλευ? καθως εσταθην δουλος του πατρος σου μεχρι τουδε, ουτω θελω εισθαι τωρα δουλος σου? τοτε δυνασαι υπερ εμου να ανατρεψης την βουλην του Αχιτοφελ?	34 But if you return to the city, and you say to Absalom, ‘I am your servant, O king; just as I have been the servant of your father, so too will I be your servant,’ you will destroy the counsel of Ahithophel
35 και δεν ειναι εκει μετα σου ο Σαδωκ και ο Αβιαθαρ, οι ιερεις; παν ο, τι λοιπον ηθελες ακουσει εκ του οικου του βασιλεως, θελεις αναγγειλει προς τον Σαδωκ και Αβιαθαρ, τους ιερεις?	35 And you have with you the priests Zadok and Abiathar. And any word whatsoever that you will hear from the house of the king, you shall reveal it to Zadok and Abiathar, the priests.
36 ιδου, εκει μετ' αυτων οι δυο υιοι αυτων, Αχιμαας ο του Σαδωκ και Ιωναθαν ο του Αβιαθαρ? και δι' αυτων θελετε αποστελλει προς εμε παν ο, τι ακουσητε.	36 Now with them are their two sons Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok, and Jonathan, the son of Abiathar. And you shall send to me by them every word that you will have heard.”
37 Και καθως εισηλθεν εις την πολιν ο Χουσαι ο φιλος του Δαβιδ, ο Αβεσσαλωμ ηλθεν εις Ιερουσαλημ.	37 Therefore, Hushai, the friend of David, went into the city. And Absalom also entered into Jerusalem.
