1 Samuel 11

DOUAI-RHEIMS	LXX
1 And it came to pass about a month after this that Naas, the Ammonite came up, and began to fight against Jabes Galaad. And all the men of Jabes said to Naas: Make a covenant with us, and we will serve thee.	1 και εγενηθη ως μετα μηνα και ανεβη ναας ο αμμανιτης και παρεμβαλλει επι ιαβις γαλααδ και ειπον παντες οι ανδρες ιαβις προς ναας τον αμμανιτην διαθου ημιν διαθηκην και δουλευσομεν σοι
2 And Naas the Ammonite answered them: On this condition will I make a covenant with you, that I may pluck out all your right eyes, and make you a reproach in all Israel.	2 και ειπεν προς αυτους ναας ο αμμανιτης εν ταυτη διαθησομαι υμιν διαθηκην εν τω εξορυξαι υμων παντα οφθαλμον δεξιον και θησομαι ονειδος επι ισραηλ
3 And the ancients of Jabes said to him: Allow us seven days, that we may send messengers to all the coasts of Israel: and if there be no one to defend us, we will come out to thee.	3 και λεγουσιν αυτω οι ανδρες ιαβις ανες ημιν επτα ημερας και αποστελουμεν αγγελους εις παν οριον ισραηλ εαν μη η ο σωζων ημας εξελευσομεθα προς υμας
4 The messengers therefore came to Gabaa of Saul: and they spoke these words in the hearing of the people: and all the people lifted up their voices, and wept.	4 και ερχονται οι αγγελοι εις γαβαα προς σαουλ και λαλουσιν τους λογους εις τα ωτα του λαου και ηραν πας ο λαος την φωνην αυτων και εκλαυσαν
5 And behold Saul came, following oxen out of the field, and he said: What aileth the people that they weep? And they told him the words of the men of Jabes.	5 και ιδου σαουλ ηρχετο μετα το πρωι εξ αγρου και ειπεν σαουλ τι οτι κλαιει ο λαος και διηγουνται αυτω τα ρηματα των υιων ιαβις
6 And the spirit of the Lord came upon Saul, when he had heard these words, and his anger was exceedingly kindled.	6 και εφηλατο πνευμα κυριου επι σαουλ ως ηκουσεν τα ρηματα ταυτα και εθυμωθη επ' αυτους οργη αυτου σφοδρα
7 And taking both the oxen, he cut them in pieces, and sent them into all the coasts of Israel by messengers, saying: Whosoever shall not come forth, and follow Saul and Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen. And the fear of the Lord fell upon the people, and they went out as one man.	7 και ελαβεν δυο βοας και εμελισεν αυτας και απεστειλεν εις παν οριον ισραηλ εν χειρι αγγελων λεγων ος ουκ εστιν εκπορευομενος οπισω σαουλ και οπισω σαμουηλ κατα ταδε ποιησουσιν τοις βουσιν αυτου και επηλθεν εκστασις κυριου επι τον λαον ισραηλ και εβοησαν ως ανηρ εις
8 And he numbered them in Bezec: and there were of the children of Israel three hundred thousand: and of the men of Juda thirty thousand.	8 και επισκεπτεται αυτους αβιεζεκ εν βαμα παν ανδρα ισραηλ εξακοσιας χιλιαδας και ανδρας ιουδα εβδομηκοντα χιλιαδας
9 And they said to the messengers that came: Thus shall you say to the men of Jabes Galaad: Tomorrow, when the sun shall be hot, you shall have relief. The messengers therefore came, and told the men of Jabes: and they were glad.	9 και ειπεν τοις αγγελοις τοις ερχομενοις ταδε ερειτε τοις ανδρασιν ιαβις αυριον υμιν η σωτηρια διαθερμαναντος του ηλιου και ηλθον οι αγγελοι εις την πολιν και απαγγελλουσιν τοις ανδρασιν ιαβις και ευφρανθησαν
10 And they said: In the morning we will come out to you: and you shall do what you please with us.	10 και ειπαν οι ανδρες ιαβις προς ναας τον αμμανιτην αυριον εξελευσομεθα προς υμας και ποιησετε ημιν το αγαθον ενωπιον υμων
11 And it came to pass, when the morrow was come that Saul put the people in three companies: and he came into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and he slew the Ammonites until the day grew hot, and the rest were scattered, so that two of them were not left together.	11 και εγενηθη μετα την αυριον και εθετο σαουλ τον λαον εις τρεις αρχας και εισπορευονται μεσον της παρεμβολης εν φυλακη τη πρωινη και ετυπτον τους υιους αμμων εως διεθερμανθη η ημερα και εγενηθησαν οι υπολελειμμενοι διεσπαρησαν και ουχ υπελειφθησαν εν αυτοις δυο κατα το αυτο
12 And the people said to Samuel: Who is he that said: Shall Saul reign over us? Bring the men and we will kill them.	12 και ειπεν ο λαος προς σαμουηλ τις ο ειπας οτι σαουλ ου βασιλευσει ημων παραδος τους ανδρας και θανατωσομεν αυτους
13 And Saul said: No man shall be killed this day, because the Lord this day hath wrought salvation in Israel:	13 και ειπεν σαουλ ουκ αποθανειται ουδεις εν τη ημερα ταυτη οτι σημερον κυριος εποιησεν σωτηριαν εν ισραηλ
14 And Samuel said to the people: Come and let us go to Galgal, and let us renew the kingdom there.	14 και ειπεν σαμουηλ προς τον λαον λεγων πορευθωμεν εις γαλγαλα και εγκαινισωμεν εκει την βασιλειαν
15 And all the people went to Galgal, and there they made Saul king before the Lord in Galgal, and they sacrificed there victims of peace before the Lord. And there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced exceedingly	15 και επορευθη πας ο λαος εις γαλγαλα και εχρισεν σαμουηλ εκει τον σαουλ εις βασιλεα ενωπιον κυριου εν γαλγαλοις και εθυσεν εκει θυσιας και ειρηνικας ενωπιον κυριου και ευφρανθη σαμουηλ και πας ισραηλ ωστε λιαν
