2 Samuel 1

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 Now it happened that, after Saul died, David returned from the slaughter of Amalek, and he remained for two days at Ziklag.	1 Μετα δε τον θανατον του Σαουλ, αφου επεστρεψεν ο Δαβιδ απο της σφαγης των Αμαληκιτων, εκαθησεν ο Δαβιδ εν Σικλαγ δυο ημερας?
2 Then, on the third day, a man appeared, arriving from the camp of Saul, with his garments torn and dust sprinkled on his head. And when he came to David, he fell on his face, and he reverenced.	2 την δε τριτην ημεραν, ιδου, ηλθεν ανθρωπος εκ του στρατοπεδου απο πλησιον του Σαουλ, εχων διεσχισμενα τα ιματια αυτου και χωμα επι της κεφαλης αυτου? και καθως εισηλθε προς τον Δαβιδ, επεσεν εις την γην και προσεκυνησε.
3 And David said to him, “Where have you come from?” And he said to him, “I have fled from the camp of Israel.”	3 Και ειπε προς αυτον ο Δαβιδ, Ποθεν ερχεσαι; Ο δε ειπε προς αυτον, Εγω εκ του στρατοπεδου του Ισραηλ διεσωθην.
4 And David said to him: “What is the word that has happened? Reveal it to me.” And he said: “The people have fled from the battle, and many of the people have fallen and died. Moreover, Saul and his son Jonathan have passed away.”	4 Και ειπε προς αυτον ο Δαβιδ, Τι συνεβη; ειπε μοι, παρακαλω. Και απεκριθη, Οτι εφυγεν ο λαος εκ της μαχης, και πολλοι μαλιστα εκ του λαου επεσον και απεθανον? απεθανον δε και Σαουλ και Ιωναθαν ο υιος αυτου.
5 And David said to the youth who was reporting to him, “How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan have died?”	5 Και ειπεν ο Δαβιδ προς τον νεον τον απαγγελλοντα προς αυτον, Πως εξευρεις οτι απεθανεν ο Σαουλ, και Ιωναθαν ο υιος αυτου;
6 And the youth, who was reporting it to him, said: “I arrived by chance on mount Gilboa. And Saul was lying upon his spear. Then the chariots and horsemen drew near to him.	6 Και ειπεν ο νεος ο απαγγελλων προς αυτον, Ευρεθην κατα τυχην εν τω ορει Γελβουε, και ιδου, ο Σαουλ ητο κεκλιμενος επι του δορατος αυτου, και ιδου, αι αμαξαι και οι ιππεις κατεφθανον αυτον.
7 And turning behind his back and seeing me, he called to me. And when I had responded, “I am here,”	7 και οτε εβλεψεν εις τα οπισω αυτου, με ειδε και με εκαλεσε? και απεκριθην, Ιδου, εγω.
8 he said to me, “Who are you?” And I said to him, “I am an Amalekite.”	8 Και ειπε προς εμε, Ποιος εισαι; Και απεκριθην προς αυτον, Ειμαι Αμαληκιτης.
9 And he said to me: “Stand over me, and kill me. For anguish has taken hold of me, and still my whole life is in me.”	9 Παλιν ειπε προς εμε, Στηθι επανω μου, παρακαλω, και θανατωσον με? διοτι σκοτοδινιασις με κατελαβεν, επειδη η ζωη μου ειναι ετι ολη εν εμοι.
10 And standing over him, I killed him. For I knew that he was not able to live after the fall. And I took the diadem that was on his head, and the bracelet from his arm, and I have brought them here to you, my lord.”	10 Εσταθην λοιπον επ' αυτον και εθανατωσα αυτον? επειδη ημην βεβαιος οτι δεν ηδυνατο να ζηση αφου επεσε? και ελαβον το διαδημα το επι της κεφαλης αυτου και το βραχιολιον το εν τω βραχιονι αυτου, και εφερα αυτα ενταυθα προς τον κυριον μου.
11 Then David, taking hold of his garments, tore them, with all the men who were with him.	11 Τοτε πιασας ο Δαβιδ τα ιματια αυτου, διεσχισεν αυτα? και παντες ομοιως οι ανδρες οι μετ' αυτου.
12 And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until evening, over Saul and over his son Jonathan, and over the people of the Lord and over the house of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword.	12 Και επενθησαν και εκλαυσαν και ενηστευσαν εως εσπερας δια τον Σαουλ και δια Ιωναθαν τον υιον αυτου και δια τον λαον του Κυριου και δια τον οικον του Ισραηλ, διοτι επεσον δια ρομφαιας.
13 And David said to the youth who had reported it to him, “Where are you from?” And he responded, “I am the son of a man who is a new arrival from the Amalekites.”	13 Ειπε δε ο Δαβιδ προς τον νεον, τον απαγγελλοντα προς αυτον, Ποθεν εισαι; Και απεκριθη, Ειμαι υιος παροικου τινος Αμαληκιτου.
14 And David said to him, “Why were you not afraid to put forth your hand, so that you would kill the Christ of the Lord?”	14 Και ειπε προς αυτον ο Δαβιδ, Πως δεν εφοβηθης να επιβαλης την χειρα σου δια να θανατωσης τον κεχρισμενον του Κυριου;
15 And calling one of his servants, David said, “Draw near and rush against him” And he struck him, and he died.	15 Και εκαλεσεν ο Δαβιδ ενα εκ των νεων και ειπε, Πλησιασον, πεσον επ' αυτον. Και επαταξεν αυτον, και απεθανε.
16 And David said to him: “Your blood is upon your own head. For your own mouth has spoken against you, saying: ‘I have killed the Christ of the Lord.’ ”	16 Και ειπε προς αυτον ο Δαβιδ, Το αιμα σου επι της κεφαλης σου? διοτι το στομα σου εμαρτυρησεν εναντιον σου, λεγων, Εγω εθανατωσα τον κεχρισμενον του Κυριου.
17 Then David mourned a lamentation over Saul and over his son Jonathan, in this way.	17 Και εθρηνησεν ο Δαβιδ τον θρηνον τουτον επι τον Σαουλ και επι Ιωναθαν τον υιον αυτου?
18 (And he instructed that they should teach the sons of Judah the bow, just as it is written in the Book of the Just.) And he said: “Consider, O Israel, on behalf of those who are dead, wounded upon your heights:	18 και παρηγγειλε να διδαξωσι τους υιους Ιουδα τουτο το ασμα του τοξου? ιδου, ειναι γεγραμμενον εν τω βιβλιω του Ιασηρ.
19 The illustrious of Israel have been killed upon your mountains. How could the valiant have fallen?	19 Ω δοξα του Ισραηλ, επι τους υψηλους τοπους σου κατηκοντισμενη. Πως επεσον οι δυνατοι.
20 Do not choose to announce it in Gath, and do not announce it in the crossroads of Ashkelon. Otherwise, the daughters of the Philistines may rejoice; otherwise, the daughters of the uncircumcised may exult.	20 Μη αναγγειλητε εις την Γαθ, μη διακηρυξητε εις τας πλατειας της Ασκαλωνος, μηποτε χαρωσιν αι θυγατερες των Φιλισταιων, μηποτε αγαλλιασωνται αι θυγατερες των απεριτμητων?
21 O mountains of Gilboa, let neither dew, nor rain fall over you, and may these not be the fields of the first-fruits. For in that place, the shield of the valiant was cast away, the shield of Saul, as if he had not been anointed with oil.	21 Ορη τα εν Γελβουε, Ας μη ηναι δροσος μηδε βροχη εφ' υμας, μηδε αγροι διδοντες απαρχας? διοτι εκει απερριφθη η ασπις των ισχυρων, Η ασπις του Σαουλ, ως να μη εχρισθη δι' ελαιου.
22 From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the strong, the arrow of Jonathan never turned back, and the sword of Saul did not return empty.	22 Απο του αιματος των πεφονευμενων, απο του στεατος των ισχυρων, το τοξον του Ιωναθαν δεν εστρεφετο οπισω, και η ρομφαια του Σαουλ δεν επεστρεφε κενη.
23 Saul and Jonathan, worthy to be loved, and stately in their life: even in death they were not divided. They were swifter than eagles, stronger than lions.	23 Σαουλ και Ιωναθαν ησαν οι ηγαπημενοι και ερασμιοι εν τη ζωη αυτων, και εν τω θανατω αυτων δεν εχωρισθησαν? ησαν ελαφροτεροι αετων, δυνατωτεροι λεοντων.
24 O daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you with scarlet finery, who offered ornaments of gold for your adornment.	24 Θυγατερες Ισραηλ, κλαυσατε επι τον Σαουλ τον ενδυοντα υμας κοκκινα μετα καλλωπισμων, τον επιβαλλοντα στολισμους χρυσους επι τα ενδυματα υμων.
25 How could the valiant have fallen in battle? How could Jonathan have been slain on the heights?	25 Πως επεσον οι δυνατοι εν μεσω της μαχης? Ιωναθαν, επι τους υψηλους τοπους σου τετραυματισμενε.
26 I grieve over you, my brother Jonathan: exceedingly stately, and worthy to be loved above the love of women. As a mother loves her only son, so also did I love you.	26 Περιλυπος ειμαι δια σε, αδελφε μου Ιωναθαν? προσφιλεστατος εσταθης εις εμε? η προς εμε αγαπη σου ητο εξαισιος. Υπερεβαινε την αγαπην των γυναικων.
27 How could the robust have fallen, and the weapons of war have perished?”	27 Πως επεσον οι δυνατοι, και απωλεσθησαν τα οπλα του πολεμου.
