1 Samuel 2

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 “My heart exults in the Lord, and my horn is exalted in my God. My mouth is enlarged over my enemies. For I have rejoiced in your salvation.	1 Και προσηυχηθη η Αννα, και ειπεν, Ευφρανθη η καρδια μου εις τον Κυριον? υψωθη το κερας μου δια του Κυριου? επλατυνθη το στομα μου εναντιον των εχθρων μου? διοτι ευφρανθην εις την σωτηριαν σου.
2 Nothing is holy as the Lord is holy. For there is no other beside you. And nothing is strong as our God is strong.	2 Δεν υπαρχει αγιος καθως ο Κυριος? διοτι δεν ειναι αλλος πλην σου, ουδε βραχος καθως ο Θεος ημων.
3 Do not continue speaking of great things, boasting. Let what is old depart from your mouth. For the Lord is the God of knowledge, and thoughts are prepared for him.	3 Μη καυχασθε, μη λαλειτε υπερηφανως? ας μη εξελθη μεγαλορρημοσυνη εκ του στοματος σας? διοτι ο Κυριος ειναι Θεος γνωσεων, και παρ' αυτου σταθμιζονται αι πραξεις.
4 The bow of the powerful has been overwhelmed, and the weak have been girded with strength.	4 Τα τοξα των δυνατων συνετριβησαν, και οι αδυνατοι περιεζωσθησαν δυναμιν.
5 Those who before were filled, have hired themselves out for bread. And the starving have been filled, so that the barren have given birth to many. But she who had borne many sons has become unable.	5 Οι κεχορτασμενοι εμισθωσαν εαυτους δια αρτον? οι δε πεινωντες επαυσαν? εως και η στειρα εγεννησεν επτα, η δε πολυτεκνος εξησθενησεν.
6 The Lord brings death, and he gives life. He leads away to death, and he brings back again.	6 Ο Κυριος θανατονει και ζωοποιει? καταβιβαζει εις τον αδην και αναβιβαζει.
7 The Lord impoverishes, and he enriches. He humbles, and he lifts up.	7 Ο Κυριος πτωχιζει και πλουτιζει, ταπεινονει και υψονει.
8 He raises up the indigent from the dust, and he lifts up the poor from filth, so that they may sit with princes, and take hold of a throne of glory. For the hinges of the earth belong to the Lord, and he has placed the globe upon them.	8 Ανεγειρει τον πενητα απο του χωματος, και ανυψονει τον πτωχον απο της κοπριας, δια να καθιση αυτους μεταξυ των αρχοντων, και να καμη αυτους να κληρονομησωσι θρονον δοξης? διοτι του Κυριου ειναι οι στυλοι της γης, και εστησε την οικουμενην επ' αυτους.
9 He will preserve the feet of his holy ones, and the impious will be silenced in darkness. For no man will prevail by his own strength.	9 Θελει φυλαττει τους ποδας των οσιων αυτου? οι δε ασεβεις θελουσιν απολεσθη εν τω σκοτει? επειδη δια δυναμεως δεν θελει υπερισχυσει ο ανθρωπος.
10 The adversaries of the Lord will dread him. And over them, he will thunder in the heavens. The Lord will judge the parts of the earth, and he will give dominion to his king, and he will lift up the horn of his Christ.”	10 Ο Κυριος θελει συντριψει τους αντιδικους αυτου? εξ ουρανου θελει βροντησει επ' αυτους? ο Κυριος θελει κρινει τα περατα της γης? και θελει δωσει ισχυν εις τον βασιλεα αυτου, και υψωσει το κερας του χριστου αυτου.
11 And Elkanah went away to Ramah, to his house. But the boy was a minister in the sight of the Lord, before the face of Eli, the priest.	11 Τοτε ανεχωρησεν ο Ελκανα εις Ραμαθ προς τον οικον αυτου. Το δε παιδιον υπηρετει τον Κυριον ενωπιον Ηλει του ιερεως.
12 But the sons of Eli were sons of Belial, not knowing the Lord,	12 Του Ηλει ομως οι υιοι ησαν αχρειοι ανθρωποι δεν εγνωριζον τον Κυριον.
13 nor the priestly office for the people. And so, no matter who had immolated a victim, the servant of the priest would arrive, while the flesh was still cooking, and he would take a three-pronged hook in his hand,	13 Η συνηθεια δε των ιερεων προς τον λαον ητο τοιαυτη? οτε τις προσεφερε θυσιαν, ηρχετο ο υπηρετης του ιερεως, ενω εψηνετο το κρεας, εχων εις την χειρα αυτου κρεαγραν τριοδοντον?
14 and put it into the vessel, or into the cauldron, or into the cooking pot, or into the pan, and all that the hook lifted up, the priest took for himself. So they did to all of Israel who arrived at Shiloh.	14 και εβυθιζεν αυτην εις το κακκαβιον, η εις τον λεβητα, η εις την χυτραν, η εις το χαλκειον? και ο, τι ανεβιβαζεν η κρεαγρα, ελαμβανεν ο ιερευς δι' εαυτον. Ουτως εκαμνον προς παντας τους Ισραηλιτας τους ερχομενους εκει εις Σηλω.
15 In addition, before they burned the fat, the servant of the priest would arrive, and he would say to the one who was immolating: “Give me the flesh, so that I may boil it for the priest. For I will not accept cooked meat from you, but raw.”	15 Πριν ετι καυσωσι το παχος, ηρχετο ο υπηρετης του ιερεως, και ελεγε προς τον ανθρωπον τον προσφεροντα την θυσιαν, Δος κρεας δια ψητον εις τον ιερεα? διοτι δεν θελει να λαβη παρα σου κρεας βρασμενον, αλλα ωμον.
16 And the one who was immolating would say to him, “First, allow the fat to be burned today, according to custom, and then take for yourself whatever your soul desires.” But in response, he would say to him: “By no means. For you will give it to me now, otherwise I will take it by force.”	16 Και εαν ο ανθρωπος ελεγε προς αυτον, Ας καυσωσι πρωτον το παχος, και επειτα λαβε οσον επιθυμει η ψυχη σου? τοτε απεκρινετο προς αυτον, Ουχι, αλλα τωρα θελεις δωσει ειδε μη, θελω λαβει μετα βιας.
17 Therefore, the sin of the servants was exceedingly great before the Lord. For they drew men away from the sacrifice of the Lord.	17 Δια τουτο η αμαρτια των νεων ητο μεγαλη σφοδρα ενωπιον του Κυριου? διοτι οι ανθρωποι απεστρεφοντο την θυσιαν του Κυριου.
18 But Samuel was ministering before the face of the Lord; he was a youth girded with a linen ephod.	18 Ο δε Σαμουηλ υπηρετει ενωπιον του Κυριου, παιδαριον περιεζωσμενον λινουν εφοδ.
19 And his mother fashioned a little tunic for him, which she brought to him on the appointed days, ascending with her husband, so that he might immolate the solemn sacrifice.	19 Και η μητηρ αυτου εκαμνεν εις αυτον επενδυμα μικρον, και εφερε προς αυτον κατ' ετος, οτε ανεβαινε μετα του ανδρος αυτης δια να προσφερη την ετησιον θυσιαν.
20 And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife. And he said to him, “May the Lord repay to you offspring from this woman, on behalf of the loan that you offered to the Lord.” And they went away to their own place.	20 Και ευλογησεν ο Ηλει τον Ελκανα και την γυναικα αυτου, λεγων, Ο Κυριος να αποδωση εις σε σπερμα εκ της γυναικος ταυτης, αντι του δανειου το οποιον εδανεισεν εις τον Κυριον. Και ανεχωρησαν εις τον τοπον αυτων.
21 Then the Lord visited Hannah, and she conceived and bore three sons and two daughters. And the youth Samuel was magnified with the Lord.	21 Επεσκεφθη δε ο Κυριος την Ανναν? και συνελαβε και εγεννησε τρεις υιους και δυο θυγατερας? το δε παιδιον ο Σαμουηλ εμεγαλονεν ενωπιον του Κυριου.
22 Now Eli was very old, and he heard all that his sons were doing to all of Israel, and how they were sleeping with the women who were waiting at the door of the tabernacle.	22 Ητο δε ο Ηλει πολυ γερων? και ηκουσε παντα οσα επραττον οι υιοι αυτου εις παντα τον Ισραηλ? και οτι εκοιμωντο μετα των γυναικων, των συνερχομενων εις την θυραν της σκηνης του μαρτυριου.
23 And he said to them: “Why are you doing these kinds of things, very wicked things, that I have heard from all the people?	23 Και ειπε προς αυτους, Δια τι καμνετε τοιαυτα πραγματα; διοτι εγω ακουω κακα πραγματα δια σας παρα παντος τουτου του λαου?
24 My sons, do not be willing. For it is no good report that I am hearing, so that you would cause the people of the Lord to transgress.	24 μη, τεκνα μου? διοτι δεν ειναι καλη η φημη, την οποιαν εγω ακουω? σεις καμνετε τον λαον του Κυριου να γινηται παραβατης?
25 If a man has sinned against a man, God may be able to be appeased over him. But if a man has sinned against the Lord, who will pray for him?” But they did not listen to the voice of their father, that the Lord was willing to kill them.	25 εαν αμαρτηση ανθρωπος εις ανθρωπον, θελει ικεσια γινεσθαι εις τον Θεον υπερ αυτου? αλλ' εαν τις αμαρτηση εις τον Κυριον, τις θελει ικετευσει υπερ αυτου; Εκεινοι ομως δεν υπηκουον εις την φωνην του πατρος αυτων? διοτι ο Κυριος ηθελε να θανατωση αυτους.
26 But the youth Samuel advanced, and grew up, and he was pleasing to the Lord, as well as to men.	26 Το δε παιδιον ο Σαμουηλ εμεγαλονε και ευηρεστει και εις τον Κυριον και εις τους ανθρωπους.
27 Then a man of God went to Eli, and he said to him: “Thus says the Lord: Was I not revealed openly to the house of your father, when they were in Egypt in the house of Pharaoh?	27 Ηλθε δε ανθρωπος τις του Θεου προς τον Ηλει και ειπε προς αυτον, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος? Δεν απεκαλυφθην φανερα εις τον οικον του πατρος σου, οτε αυτοι ησαν εν τη Αιγυπτω εν τω οικω του Φαραω;
28 And I chose him out of all the tribes of Israel for myself as priest, so that he might ascend to my altar, and burn incense to me, and wear the ephod before me. And I gave to the house of your father all the sacrifices of the sons of Israel.	28 Και δεν εξελεξα αυτον εκ πασων των φυλων του Ισραηλ εις εμαυτον δια ιερεα, δια να καμνη προσφορας επι του θυσιαστηριου μου, να καιη θυμιαμα, να φορη εφοδ ενωπιον μου; και δεν εδωκα εις τον οικον του πατρος σου πασας τας δια πυρος γινομενας προσφορας των υιων Ισραηλ;
29 Why have you kicked away my victims and my gifts, which I instructed to be offered in the temple? And why have you given more honor to your sons than to me, so that you eat the first-fruits of every sacrifice of my people Israel?	29 Δια τι λακτιζετε εις την θυσιαν μου και εις την προσφοραν μου, την οποιαν προσεταξα να καμνωσιν εν τω κατοικητηριω μου, και δοξαζεις τους υιους σου υπερ εμε, ωστε να παχυνησθε με το καλητερον πασων των προσφορων του Ισραηλ του λαου μου;
30 Because of this, the Lord God of Israel says: I have spoken clearly, so that your house, and the house of your father, may minister in my sight, even forever. But now the Lord says: May this be far from me. Instead, whoever will have glorified me, I will glorify him. But whoever despises me, they will be despised.	30 Δια τουτο Κυριος ο Θεος του Ισραηλ λεγει, Ειπα βεβαιως οτι ο οικος σου και ο οικος του πατρος σου ηθελον περιπατει ενωπιον μου εως αιωνος? αλλα τωρα ο Κυριος λεγει, Μακραν απ' εμου? διοτι τους δοξαζοντας με θελω δοξασει, οι δε καταφρονουντες με θελουσιν ατιμασθη.
31 Behold the days are arriving, when I will cut off your arm, and the arm of the house of your father, so that there will not be an old man in your house.	31 Ιδου, ερχονται ημεραι, οτε θελω κοψει τον βραχιονα σου και τον βραχιονα του οικου του πατρος σου, ωστε ανθρωπος γερων δεν θελει εισθαι εν τω οικω σου.
32 And you will see your rival in the temple, amid all the prosperity of Israel. And there will not be an old man in your house for all days.	32 Και θελεις ιδει εν τω κατοικητηριω μου αντιπαλον, μεταξυ παντων των διδομενων αγαθων εις τον Ισραηλ? και δεν θελει υπαρχει γερων εν τω οικω σου εις τον αιωνα.
33 Yet truly, I will not entirely take away a man of you from my altar, but such that your eyes may fail, and your soul may melt away, and a great part of your house may die out, as it pertains to the state of men.	33 Οντινα δε εκ των ιδικων σου δεν αποκοψω απο του θυσιαστηριου μου, θελει εισθαι δια να καταναλισκη τους οφθαλμους σου και να κατατηκη την ψυχην σου? παντες δε οι εκγονοι του οικου σου θελουσι τελευτα εις ανδρικην ηλικιαν.
34 But this will be a sign to you, which will happen to your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas: on one day they both will die.	34 Και τουτο θελει εισθαι σημειον εις σε, το οποιον θελει ελθει επι τους δυο υιους σου, επι Οφνει και Φινεες? εν μια ημερα θελουσιν αποθανει αμφοτεροι.
35 And I will raise up for myself a faithful priest, who will act in accord with my heart and my soul. And I will build a faithful house for him. And he will walk before my Christ for all days.	35 Και θελω ανεγειρει εις εμαυτον ιερεα πιστον, πραττοντα κατα την καρδιαν μου και κατα την ψυχην μου? και θελω οικοδομησει εις αυτον οικον ασφαλη? και θελει περιπατει ενωπιον του χριστου μου εις τον αιωνα.
36 Then this will be in the future, that whoever will have remained of your house, he will approach so that he may pray on his behalf. And he will offer a coin of silver, and a twist of bread. And he will say: ‘Permit me, I beg you, one part of the priestly office, so that I may eat a mouthful of bread.’ ”	36 Και πας ο εναπολειφθεις εν τω οικω σου θελει ερχεσθαι προσπιπτων εις αυτον δια ολιγον αργυριον και δια κομματιον ψωμιου, και θελει λεγει, Διορισον με, παρακαλω, εις τινα των ιερατικων υπηρεσιων, δια να τρωγω ολιγον αρτον.
