2 Samuel 10

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 Now after these things, it happened that the king of the sons of Ammon died, and his son Hanun reigned after him.	1 Μετα δε ταυτα απεθανεν ο βασιλευς των υιων Αμμων, και εβασιλευσεν αντ' αυτου Ανουν ο υιος αυτου.
2 And David said, “I will show mercy to Hanun, the son of Nahash, just as his father showed mercy to me.” Therefore, David sent consolation to him, by his servants, over the passing of his father. But when the servants of David had arrived in the land of the sons of Ammon,	2 Και ειπεν ο Δαβιδ, Θελω καμει ελεος προς Ανουν, τον υιον του Ναας, επειδη ο πατηρ αυτου εκαμεν ελεος προς εμε. Και απεστειλεν ο Δαβιδ να παρηγορηση αυτον περι του πατρος αυτου δια χειρος των δουλων αυτου. Και ηλθον οι δουλοι του Δαβιδ εις την γην των υιων Αμμων.
3 the leaders of the sons of Ammon said to Hanun, their lord: “Do you think it was because of the honor of your father that David sent consolers to you? And did not David send his servants to you, so that he might investigate and explore the city, and so that he might overthrow it?”	3 Και ειπον οι αρχοντες των υιων Αμμων προς Ανουν τον κυριον αυτων, Νομιζεις οτι ο Δαβιδ τιμων τον πατερα σου απεστειλε προς σε παρηγορητας; δεν απεστειλεν ο Δαβιδ τους δουλους αυτου προς σε, δια να ερευνηση την πολιν και να κατασκοπευση αυτην και να καταστρεψη αυτην;
4 And so, Hanun took the servants of David, and he shaved off one half part of their beards, and he cut their garments at the middle, as far as the buttocks, and he sent them away.	4 Και επιασεν ο Ανουν τους δουλους του Δαβιδ, και εξυρισε το ημισυ του πωγωνος αυτων και απεκοψε το ημισυ των ιματιων αυτων μεχρι των γλουτων αυτων, και απεπεμψεν αυτους.
5 And when this had been reported to David, he sent to meet them. And the men were greatly disturbed by shame. And David commanded them, “Remain in Jericho, until your beards grow, and then return.”	5 Οτε απηγγειλαν τουτο προς τον Δαβιδ, απεστειλεν εις συναντησιν αυτων, επειδη οι ανδρες ησαν ητιμασμενοι σφοδρα? και ειπεν ο βασιλευς, Καθησατε εν Ιεριχω εωσου αυξηνθωσιν οι πωγωνες σας, και επιστρεψατε.
6 Now the sons of Ammon, seeing that they had done an injury to David, sent for, and paid wages to, the Syrians of Rehob, and the Syrians of Zobah, twenty thousand foot soldiers, and from the king of Maacah, one thousand men, and from Tob, twelve thousand men.	6 Βλεποντες δε οι υιοι Αμμων οτι ησαν βδελυκτοι εις τον Δαβιδ, απεστειλαν οι υιοι Αμμων και εμισθωσαν εκ των Συριων Βαιθ-ρεωβ και των Συριων Σωβα εικοσι χιλιαδας πεζων, και παρα του βασιλεως Μααχα χιλιους ανδρας, και παρα του Ις-τωβ δωδεκα χιλιαδας ανδρων.
7 And when David had heard this, he sent Joab and the entire army of warriors.	7 Και οτε ηκουσε ταυτα ο Δαβιδ, απεστειλε τον Ιωαβ και απαν το στρατευμα των δυνατων.
8 Then the sons of Ammon went forth, and they positioned their battle line before the very entrance of the gates. But the Syrians of Zobah, and of Rehob, and of Tob, and of Maacah, were by themselves in the field.	8 Και εξηλθον οι υιοι Αμμων και παρεταχθησαν εις πολεμον κατα την εισοδον της πυλης? και οι Συριοι Σωβα και Ρεωβ και Ις-τωβ και Μααχα ησαν καθ' εαυτους εν τη πεδιαδι.
9 And so, seeing that the battle had been prepared against him, both facing him and behind, Joab chose some from all of the elect men of Israel, and he set up a battle line opposite the Syrians.	9 Βλεπων δε ο Ιωαβ οτι η μαχη παρεταχθη εναντιον αυτου εμπροσθεν και οπισθεν, εξελεξεν εκ παντων των εκλεκτων του Ισραηλ και παρεταξεν αυτους εναντιον των Συριων?
10 But the remaining part of the people he delivered to his brother Abishai, who formed a battle line against the sons of Ammon.	10 το δε υπολοιπον του λαου εδωκεν εις την χειρα του Αβισαι, αδελφου αυτου, και παρεταξεν αυτους εναντιον των υιων Αμμων.
11 And Joab said: “If the Syrians prevail against me, then you shall assist me. But if the sons of Ammon prevail against you, then I will assist you.	11 Και ειπεν, Εαν οι Συριοι υπερισχυσωσι κατ' εμου, τοτε συ θελεις με σωσει εαν δε οι υιοι Αμμων υπερισχυσωσι κατα σου, τοτε εγω θελω ελθει δια να σε σωσω?
12 Be valiant men. And let us fight on behalf of our people and the city of our God. Then the Lord will do what is good in his own sight.”	12 ανδριζου, και ας κραταιωθωμεν υπερ του λαου ημων και υπερ των πολεων του Θεου ημων? ο δε Κυριος ας καμη το αρεστον εις τους οφθαλμους αυτου.
13 And so, Joab, and the people who were with him, undertook the conflict against the Syrians, who immediately fled before their face.	13 Και προσηλθεν ο Ιωαβ και ο λαος ο μετ' αυτου εις μαχην εναντιον των Συριων? οι δε εφυγον απ' εμπροσθεν αυτου.
14 Then, seeing that the Syrians had fled, the sons of Ammon themselves also fled from the face of Abishai, and they entered into the city. And Joab returned from the sons of Ammon, and he went to Jerusalem.	14 Και οτε ειδον οι υιοι Αμμων οτι οι Συριοι εφυγον, τοτε εφυγον και αυτοι απ' εμπροσθεν του Αβισαι και εισηλθον εις την πολιν. Και ο Ιωαβ επεστρεψεν απο των υιων Αμμων και ηλθεν εις Ιερουσαλημ.
15 And so, the Syrians, seeing that they had fallen before Israel, gathered themselves together.	15 Ιδοντες δε οι Συριοι οτι κατετροπωθησαν εμπροσθεν του Ισραηλ, συνηθροισθησαν ομου.
16 And Hadadezer sent and brought the Syrians who were beyond the river, and he led in their army. And Shobach, the rule of the military of Hadadezer, was their leader.	16 Και απεστειλεν ο Αδαρεζερ και εξηγαγε τους Συριους τους περαν του ποταμου? και ηλθον εις Αιλαμ? και Σωβακ, ο αρχιστρατηγος του Αδαρεζερ, προεπορευετο εμπροσθεν αυτων.
17 And when this had been reported to David, he drew together all of Israel. And he crossed over the Jordan, and he went to Helam. And the Syrians formed a battle line opposite David, and they fought against him.	17 Και οτε απηγγελθη προς τον Δαβιδ, συνηθροισε παντα τον Ισραηλ και διεβη τον Ιορδανην και ηλθεν εις Αιλαμ. Οι δε Συριοι παρεταχθησαν εναντιον του Δαβιδ και επολεμησαν με αυτον.
18 And the Syrians fled before the face of Israel. And David killed, among the Syrians, the men of seven hundred chariots, and forty thousand horsemen. And he struck down Shobach, the leader of the military, who immediately died.	18 Και εφυγον οι Συριοι απ' εμπροσθεν του Ισραηλ? και εξωλοθρευσεν ο Δαβιδ εκ των Συριων επτακοσιας αμαξας και τεσσαρακοντα χιλιαδας ιππεων, και Σωβακ τον αρχιστρατηγον αυτων επαταξε, και απεθανεν εκει.
19 Then all the kings who were in the reinforcements of Hadadezer, seeing themselves to be defeated by Israel, were very afraid and they fled: fifty-eight thousand men before Israel. And they made peace with Israel, and they served them. And the Syrians were afraid to offer assistance to the sons of Ammon anymore.	19 Και ιδοντες παντες οι βασιλεις, οι δουλοι του Αδαρεζερ, οτι κατετροπωθησαν εμπροσθεν του Ισραηλ, εκαμον ειρηνην μετα του Ισραηλ και εγειναν δουλοι αυτων. Και οι Συριοι εφοβουντο να βοηθησωσι πλεον τους υιους Αμμων.
