ΒΑΣΙΛΕΙΩΝ Β´ - 2 Samuele - Kings II 19

LXX	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 και εταραχθη ο βασιλευς και ανεβη εις το υπερωον της πυλης και εκλαυσεν και ουτως ειπεν εν τω πορευεσθαι αυτον υιε μου αβεσσαλωμ υιε μου υιε μου αβεσσαλωμ τις δωη τον θανατον μου αντι σου εγω αντι σου αβεσσαλωμ υιε μου υιε μου	1 Now it was reported to Joab that the king was weeping and mourning for his son.
2 και ανηγγελη τω ιωαβ λεγοντες ιδου ο βασιλευς κλαιει και πενθει επι αβεσσαλωμ	2 And so the victory on that day was turned into mourning for all the people. For the people heard it said on that day, “The king is grieving over his son.”
3 και εγενετο η σωτηρια εν τη ημερα εκεινη εις πενθος παντι τω λαω οτι ηκουσεν ο λαος εν τη ημερα εκεινη λεγων οτι λυπειται ο βασιλευς επι τω υιω αυτου	3 And the people declined to enter the city on that day, in the manner that the people were accustomed to decline if they had turned and fled from battle.
4 και διεκλεπτετο ο λαος εν τη ημερα εκεινη του εισελθειν εις την πολιν καθως διακλεπτεται ο λαος οι αισχυνομενοι εν τω αυτους φευγειν εν τω πολεμω	4 And the king covered his head, and he was crying out in a great voice: “My son, Absalom! Absalom, my son, my son!”
5 και ο βασιλευς εκρυψεν το προσωπον αυτου και εκραξεν ο βασιλευς φωνη μεγαλη λεγων υιε μου αβεσσαλωμ αβεσσαλωμ υιε μου	5 Therefore, Joab, entering to the king in the house, said: “Today you have shamed the faces of all your servants, who saved your life, and the lives of your sons and your daughters, and the lives of your wives, and the lives of your concubines.
6 και εισηλθεν ιωαβ προς τον βασιλεα εις τον οικον και ειπεν κατησχυνας σημερον το προσωπον παντων των δουλων σου των εξαιρουμενων σε σημερον και την ψυχην των υιων σου και των θυγατερων σου και την ψυχην των γυναικων σου και των παλλακων σου	6 You love those who hate you, and you hate those who love you. And you have revealed this day that you have no concern for your leaders and for your servants. And truly, I know now that if Absalom had lived, and if we all had been killed, then it would have pleased you.
7 του αγαπαν τους μισουντας σε και μισειν τους αγαπωντας σε και ανηγγειλας σημερον οτι ουκ εισιν οι αρχοντες σου ουδε παιδες οτι εγνωκα σημερον οτι ει αβεσσαλωμ εζη παντες ημεις σημερον νεκροι οτι τοτε το ευθες ην εν οφθαλμοις σου	7 Now then, rise up and go out, and speak so as to make amends to your servants. For I swear to you by the Lord that if you will not go forth, not even one person will be left with you this night. And this will be worse for you than all the evils that have come to you, from your youth even to the present.”
8 και νυν αναστας εξελθε και λαλησον εις την καρδιαν των δουλων σου οτι εν κυριω ωμοσα οτι ει μη εκπορευση σημερον ει αυλισθησεται ανηρ μετα σου την νυκτα ταυτην και επιγνωθι σεαυτω και κακον σοι τουτο υπερ παν το κακον το επελθον σοι εκ νεοτητος σου εως του νυν	8 Therefore, the king rose up, and he sat at the gate. And it was announced to all the people that the king was sitting at the gate. And the entire multitude went before the king. But Israel fled to their own tents.
9 και ανεστη ο βασιλευς και εκαθισεν εν τη πυλη και πας ο λαος ανηγγειλαν λεγοντες ιδου ο βασιλευς καθηται εν τη πυλη και εισηλθεν πας ο λαος κατα προσωπον του βασιλεως και ισραηλ εφυγεν ανηρ εις τα σκηνωματα αυτου	9 And all the people were conflicted, in all the tribes of Israel, saying: “The king has freed us from the hand of our enemies. He himself saved us from the hand of the Philistines. But now he flees from the land for the sake of Absalom.
10 και ην πας ο λαος κρινομενος εν πασαις φυλαις ισραηλ λεγοντες ο βασιλευς δαυιδ ερρυσατο ημας απο παντων των εχθρων ημων και αυτος εξειλατο ημας εκ χειρος αλλοφυλων και νυν πεφευγεν απο της γης και απο της βασιλειας αυτου απο αβεσσαλωμ	10 But Absalom, whom we anointed over us, has died in the war. How long will you be silent, and not lead back the king?”
11 και αβεσσαλωμ ον εχρισαμεν εφ' ημων απεθανεν εν τω πολεμω και νυν ινα τι υμεις κωφευετε του επιστρεψαι τον βασιλεα και το ρημα παντος ισραηλ ηλθεν προς τον βασιλεα	11 Then truly, king David sent to Zadok and Abiathar, the priests, saying: “Speak to those greater by birth of Judah, saying: ‘Why have you arrived last to lead back the king into his house? (For the talk in all of Israel had reached the king in his house.)
12 και ο βασιλευς δαυιδ απεστειλεν προς σαδωκ και προς αβιαθαρ τους ιερεις λεγων λαλησατε προς τους πρεσβυτερους ιουδα λεγοντες ινα τι γινεσθε εσχατοι του επιστρεψαι τον βασιλεα εις τον οικον αυτου και λογος παντος ισραηλ ηλθεν προς τον βασιλεα	12 You are my brothers; you are my bone and my flesh. Why are you the last to lead back the king?’
13 αδελφοι μου υμεις οστα μου και σαρκες μου υμεις και ινα τι γινεσθε εσχατοι του επιστρεψαι τον βασιλεα εις τον οικον αυτου	13 And say to Amasa: ‘Are you not my bone and my flesh? May God do these things, and may he add these other things, if you will not be the leader of the military in my sight, for all time, in the place of Joab.’ ”
14 και τω αμεσσαι ερειτε ουχι οστουν μου και σαρξ μου συ και νυν ταδε ποιησαι μοι ο θεος και ταδε προσθειη ει μη αρχων δυναμεως εση ενωπιον εμου πασας τας ημερας αντι ιωαβ	14 And he inclined the heart of all the men of Judah, as if one man. And they sent to the king, saying, “Return, you and all your servants.”
15 και εκλινεν την καρδιαν παντος ανδρος ιουδα ως ανδρος ενος και απεστειλαν προς τον βασιλεα λεγοντες επιστραφητι συ και παντες οι δουλοι σου	15 And the king returned. And he went as far as the Jordan, and all of Judah went as far as Gilgal, so as to meet the king, and to lead him across the Jordan.
16 και επεστρεψεν ο βασιλευς και ηλθεν εως του ιορδανου και ανδρες ιουδα ηλθαν εις γαλγαλα του πορευεσθαι εις απαντην του βασιλεως διαβιβασαι τον βασιλεα τον ιορδανην	16 And Shimei, the son of Gera, the son of Benjamin, from Bahurim, hurried and descended with the men of Judah to meet king David,
17 και εταχυνεν σεμει υιος γηρα υιου του ιεμενι εκ βαουριμ και κατεβη μετα ανδρος ιουδα εις απαντην του βασιλεως δαυιδ	17 with one thousand men from Benjamin, and with Ziba, the servant from the house of Saul. And with him were his fifteen sons and twenty servants. And going into the Jordan,
18 και χιλιοι ανδρες μετ' αυτου εκ του βενιαμιν και σιβα το παιδαριον του οικου σαουλ και δεκα πεντε υιοι αυτου μετ' αυτου και εικοσι δουλοι αυτου μετ' αυτου και κατευθυναν τον ιορδανην εμπροσθεν του βασιλεως	18 they crossed the fords before the king, so that they might lead across the house of the king, and might act in accord with his order. Then, Shimei, the son of Gera, prostrating himself before the king after he had now gone across the Jordan,
19 και ελειτουργησαν την λειτουργιαν του διαβιβασαι τον βασιλεα και διεβη η διαβασις εξεγειραι τον οικον του βασιλεως και του ποιησαι το ευθες εν οφθαλμοις αυτου και σεμει υιος γηρα επεσεν επι προσωπον αυτου ενωπιον του βασιλεως διαβαινοντος αυτου τον ιορδανην	19 said to him: “May you not impute to me, my lord, the iniquity, nor call to mind the injuries, of your servant in the day that you, my lord the king, departed from Jerusalem. And may you not store it up in your heart, O king.
20 και ειπεν προς τον βασιλεα μη διαλογισασθω ο κυριος μου ανομιαν και μη μνησθης οσα ηδικησεν ο παις σου εν τη ημερα η ο κυριος μου ο βασιλευς εξεπορευετο εξ ιερουσαλημ του θεσθαι τον βασιλεα εις την καρδιαν αυτου	20 For as your servant, I acknowledge my sin. And for this reason, today, I arrive as the first from all the house of Joseph, and I descend to meet my lord the king.”
21 οτι εγνω ο δουλος σου οτι εγω ημαρτον και ιδου εγω ηλθον σημερον προτερος παντος οικου ιωσηφ του καταβηναι εις απαντην του κυριου μου του βασιλεως	21 Yet truly, Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, responding, said, “Should not Shimei, because of these words, be killed, since he cursed the Christ of the Lord?”
22 και απεκριθη αβεσσα υιος σαρουιας και ειπεν μη αντι τουτου ου θανατωθησεται σεμει οτι κατηρασατο τον χριστον κυριου	22 And David said: “What is it to me and to all of you, O sons of Zeruiah? Why are you acting toward me this day like Satan? Why should any man be put to death on this day in Israel? Or do you not know that today I have been made king over Israel?”
23 και ειπεν δαυιδ τι εμοι και υμιν υιοι σαρουιας οτι γινεσθε μοι σημερον εις επιβουλον σημερον ου θανατωθησεται τις ανηρ εξ ισραηλ οτι ουκ οιδα ει σημερον βασιλευω εγω επι τον ισραηλ	23 And the king said to Shimei, “You shall not die.” And he swore to him.
24 και ειπεν ο βασιλευς προς σεμει ου μη αποθανης και ωμοσεν αυτω ο βασιλευς	24 And Mephibosheth, the son of Saul, descended to meet the king, with unwashed his feet and uncut beard. And he had not washed his garments from the day that the king had departed, until the day of his return in peace.
25 και μεμφιβοσθε υιος ιωναθαν υιου σαουλ κατεβη εις απαντην του βασιλεως και ουκ εθεραπευσεν τους ποδας αυτου ουδε ωνυχισατο ουδε εποιησεν τον μυστακα αυτου και τα ιματια αυτου ουκ επλυνεν απο της ημερας ης απηλθεν ο βασιλευς εως της ημερας ης αυτος παρεγενετο εν ειρηνη	25 And when he had met the king at Jerusalem, the king said to him, “Why did you not go with me, Mephibosheth?”
26 και εγενετο οτε εισηλθεν εις ιερουσαλημ εις απαντησιν του βασιλεως και ειπεν αυτω ο βασιλευς τι οτι ουκ επορευθης μετ' εμου μεμφιβοσθε	26 And in response, he said: “My lord the king, my servant spurned me. And I, your servant, spoke to him so that he might saddle a donkey for me, and I might climb upon it and go with the king. For I, your servant, am lame.
27 και ειπεν προς αυτον μεμφιβοσθε κυριε μου βασιλευ ο δουλος μου παρελογισατο με οτι ειπεν ο παις σου αυτω επισαξον μοι την ονον και επιβω επ' αυτην και πορευσομαι μετα του βασιλεως οτι χωλος ο δουλος σου	27 Moreover, he also accused me, your servant, to you, my lord the king. But you, my lord the king, are like an Angel of God. Do whatever is pleasing to you.
28 και μεθωδευσεν εν τω δουλω σου προς τον κυριον μου τον βασιλεα και ο κυριος μου ο βασιλευς ως αγγελος του θεου και ποιησον το αγαθον εν οφθαλμοις σου	28 For my father’s house was deserving of nothing but death before my lord the king. Yet you have placed me, your servant, among the guests of your table. Therefore, what just complaint might I have? Or what else can I cry out to the king?”
29 οτι ουκ ην πας ο οικος του πατρος μου αλλ' η οτι ανδρες θανατου τω κυριω μου τω βασιλει και εθηκας τον δουλον σου εν τοις εσθιουσιν την τραπεζαν σου και τι εστιν μοι ετι δικαιωμα και του κεκραγεναι με ετι προς τον βασιλεα	29 Then the king said to him: “Why are you still speaking? What I have spoken is fixed. You and Ziba shall divide the possessions.”
30 και ειπεν αυτω ο βασιλευς ινα τι λαλεις ετι τους λογους σου ειπον συ και σιβα διελεισθε τον αγρον	30 And Mephibosheth responded to the king, “But now let him take it all, since my lord the king has been returned peacefully into his own house.”
31 και ειπεν μεμφιβοσθε προς τον βασιλεα και γε τα παντα λαβετω μετα το παραγενεσθαι τον κυριον μου τον βασιλεα εν ειρηνη εις τον οικον αυτου	31 Likewise, Barzillai the Gileadite, descending from Rogelim, led the king across the Jordan, having prepared also to follow him beyond the river.
32 και βερζελλι ο γαλααδιτης κατεβη εκ ρωγελλιμ και διεβη μετα του βασιλεως τον ιορδανην εκπεμψαι αυτον τον ιορδανην	32 Now Barzillai the Gileadite was very old, that is, eighty years old. And he provided the king with sustenance when he was staying at the encampment. For indeed, he was an exceedingly rich man.
33 και βερζελλι ανηρ πρεσβυτερος σφοδρα υιος ογδοηκοντα ετων και αυτος διεθρεψεν τον βασιλεα εν τω οικειν αυτον εν μαναιμ οτι ανηρ μεγας εστιν σφοδρα	33 And so the king said to Barzillai, “Come with me, so that you may rest securely with me in Jerusalem.”
34 και ειπεν ο βασιλευς προς βερζελλι συ διαβηση μετ' εμου και διαθρεψω το γηρας σου μετ' εμου εν ιερουσαλημ	34 And Barzillai said to the king: “How many days remain in the years of my life, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?
35 και ειπεν βερζελλι προς τον βασιλεα ποσαι ημεραι ετων ζωης μου οτι αναβησομαι μετα του βασιλεως εις ιερουσαλημ	35 Today I am eighty years old. Are my senses quick to discern sweet and bitter? Or is food and drink able to delight your servant? Or can I still hear the voice of men and women singers? Why should your servant be a burden to my lord the king?
36 υιος ογδοηκοντα ετων εγω ειμι σημερον μη γνωσομαι ανα μεσον αγαθου και κακου η γευσεται ο δουλος σου ετι ο φαγομαι η πιομαι η ακουσομαι ετι φωνην αδοντων και αδουσων ινα τι εσται ετι ο δουλος σου εις φορτιον επι τον κυριον μου τον βασιλεα	36 I, your servant, shall procede a little ways from the Jordan with you. I am not in need of this recompense.
37 ως βραχυ διαβησεται ο δουλος σου τον ιορδανην μετα του βασιλεως και ινα τι ανταποδιδωσιν μοι ο βασιλευς την ανταποδοσιν ταυτην	37 But I beg you that I, your servant, may be returned and may die in my own city, and may be buried beside the sepulcher of my father and my mother. But there is your servant Chimham; let him go with you, my lord the king. And do for him whatever seems good to you.”
38 καθισατω δη ο δουλος σου και αποθανουμαι εν τη πολει μου παρα τω ταφω του πατρος μου και της μητρος μου και ιδου ο δουλος σου χαμααμ διαβησεται μετα του κυριου μου του βασιλεως και ποιησον αυτω το αγαθον εν οφθαλμοις σου	38 And so the king said to him: “Let Chimham cross over with me, and I will do for him whatever will be pleasing to you. And all that you ask of me, you shall obtain.”
39 και ειπεν ο βασιλευς μετ' εμου διαβητω χαμααμ καγω ποιησω αυτω το αγαθον εν οφθαλμοις σου και παντα οσα εκλεξη επ' εμοι ποιησω σοι	39 And when the entire people and the king had crossed over the Jordan, the king kissed Barzillai, and he blessed him. And he returned to his own place.
40 και διεβη πας ο λαος τον ιορδανην και ο βασιλευς διεβη και κατεφιλησεν ο βασιλευς τον βερζελλι και ευλογησεν αυτον και επεστρεψεν εις τον τοπον αυτου	40 Then the king went on to Gilgal, and Chimham went with him. Now all the people of Judah had led the king across, but only as much as one half part of the people of Israel were there.
41 και διεβη ο βασιλευς εις γαλγαλα και χαμααμ διεβη μετ' αυτου και πας ο λαος ιουδα διαβαινοντες μετα του βασιλεως και γε το ημισυ του λαου ισραηλ	41 And so, all the men of Israel, running to the king, said to him: “Why have our brothers, the men of Judah, stolen you away. And why have they led the king and his house across the Jordan, and all the men of David with him?”
42 και ιδου πας ανηρ ισραηλ παρεγενοντο προς τον βασιλεα και ειπον προς τον βασιλεα τι οτι εκλεψαν σε οι αδελφοι ημων ανηρ ιουδα και διεβιβασαν τον βασιλεα και τον οικον αυτου τον ιορδανην και παντες ανδρες δαυιδ μετ' αυτου	42 And all the men of Judah responded to the men of Israel: “Because the king is nearer to me. Why are you angry over this matter? Have we eaten anything belonging to the king, or have any gifts been given to us?”
43 και απεκριθη πας ανηρ ιουδα προς ανδρα ισραηλ και ειπαν διοτι εγγιζει προς με ο βασιλευς και ινα τι ουτως εθυμωθης περι του λογου τουτου μη βρωσει εφαγαμεν εκ του βασιλεως η δομα εδωκεν η αρσιν ηρεν ημιν	43 And the men of Israel responded to the men of Judah, and said: “I have the greater amount, ten parts, with the king, and so David belongs to me more so than to you. Why have you caused me injury, and why was it not announced to me first, so that I might lead back my king?” But the men of Judah answered more firmly than the men of Israel.
44 και απεκριθη ανηρ ισραηλ τω ανδρι ιουδα και ειπεν δεκα χειρες μοι εν τω βασιλει και πρωτοτοκος εγω η συ και γε εν τω δαυιδ ειμι υπερ σε και ινα τι τουτο υβρισας με και ουκ ελογισθη ο λογος μου πρωτος μοι του επιστρεψαι τον βασιλεα εμοι και εσκληρυνθη ο λογος ανδρος ιουδα υπερ τον λογον ανδρος ισραηλ
