1 Samuel 26

DOUAI-RHEIMS	LXX
1 And the men of Ziph came to Saul in Gabaa, saying: Behold David is hid in the hill of Hachila, which is over against the wilderness.	1 και ερχονται οι ζιφαιοι εκ της αυχμωδους προς τον σαουλ εις τον βουνον λεγοντες ιδου δαυιδ σκεπαζεται μεθ' ημων εν τω βουνω του εχελα του κατα προσωπον του ιεσσαιμουν
2 And Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having with him three thousand chosen men of Israel, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.	2 και ανεστη σαουλ και κατεβη εις την ερημον ζιφ και μετ' αυτου τρεις χιλιαδες ανδρων εκλεκτοι εξ ισραηλ ζητειν τον δαυιδ εν τη ερημω ζιφ
3 And Saul encamped in Gabaa Hachila, which was over against the wilderness in the way: and David abode in the wilderness. And seeing that Saul was come after him into the wilderness,	3 και παρενεβαλεν σαουλ εν τω βουνω του εχελα επι προσωπου του ιεσσαιμουν επι της οδου και δαυιδ εκαθισεν εν τη ερημω και ειδεν δαυιδ οτι ηκει σαουλ οπισω αυτου εις την ερημον
4 He sent spies, and learned that he was most certainly come thither.	4 και απεστειλεν δαυιδ κατασκοπους και εγνω οτι ηκει σαουλ ετοιμος εκ κειλα
5 And David arose secretly, and came to the place where Saul was: and when he had beheld the place, wherein Saul slept, and Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his army, and Saul sleeping in a tent, and the rest of the multitude round about him,	5 και ανεστη δαυιδ λαθρα και εισπορευεται εις τον τοπον ου εκαθευδεν εκει σαουλ και εκει αβεννηρ υιος νηρ αρχιστρατηγος αυτου και σαουλ εκαθευδεν εν λαμπηνη και ο λαος παρεμβεβληκως κυκλω αυτου
6 David spoke to Achimelech the Hethite, and Abisai the son of Sarvia the brother of Joab, saying: Who will go down with me to Saul into the camp? And Abisai said: I will go with thee.	6 και απεκριθη δαυιδ και ειπεν προς αχιμελεχ τον χετταιον και προς αβεσσα υιον σαρουιας αδελφον ιωαβ λεγων τις εισελευσεται μετ' εμου προς σαουλ εις την παρεμβολην και ειπεν αβεσσα εγω εισελευσομαι μετα σου
7 So David and Abisai came to the people by night, and found Saul lying and sleeping in the tent, and his spear fixed in the ground at his head: and Abner and the people sleeping round about him.	7 και εισπορευεται δαυιδ και αβεσσα εις τον λαον την νυκτα και ιδου σαουλ καθευδων υπνω εν λαμπηνη και το δορυ εμπεπηγος εις την γην προς κεφαλης αυτου και αβεννηρ και ο λαος αυτου εκαθευδεν κυκλω αυτου
8 And Abisai said to David: God hath shut up thy enemy this day into thy hands: now then I will run him through with my spear even to the earth at once, and there shall be no need of a second time.	8 και ειπεν αβεσσα προς δαυιδ απεκλεισεν σημερον κυριος τον εχθρον σου εις τας χειρας σου και νυν παταξω αυτον τω δορατι εις την γην απαξ και ου δευτερωσω αυτω
9 And David said to Abisai: Kill him not: for who shall put forth his hand against the Lord's anointed, and shall be guiltless?	9 και ειπεν δαυιδ προς αβεσσα μη ταπεινωσης αυτον οτι τις εποισει χειρα αυτου επι χριστον κυριου και αθωωθησεται
10 And David said: As the Lord liveth, unless the Lord shall strike him, or his day shall come to die, or he shall go down to battle and perish:	10 και ειπεν δαυιδ ζη κυριος εαν μη κυριος παιση αυτον η η ημερα αυτου ελθη και αποθανη η εις πολεμον καταβη και προστεθη
11 The Lord be merciful unto me, that I extend not my hand upon the Lord's anointed. But now take the spear, which is at his head, and the cup of water, and let us go.	11 μηδαμως μοι παρα κυριου επενεγκειν χειρα μου επι χριστον κυριου και νυν λαβε δη το δορυ απο προς κεφαλης αυτου και τον φακον του υδατος και απελθωμεν καθ' εαυτους
12 So David took the spear, and the cup of water which was at Saul's head, and they went away: and no man saw it, or knew it, or awaked, but they were all asleep, for a deep sleep from the Lord was fallen upon them.	12 και ελαβεν δαυιδ το δορυ και τον φακον του υδατος απο προς κεφαλης αυτου και απηλθον καθ' εαυτους και ουκ ην ο βλεπων και ουκ ην ο γινωσκων και ουκ ην ο εξεγειρομενος παντες υπνουντες οτι θαμβος κυριου επεπεσεν επ' αυτους
13 And when David was gone over to the other side. and stood on the top of the hill afar off, and a good space was between them,	13 και διεβη δαυιδ εις το περαν και εστη επι την κορυφην του ορους μακροθεν και πολλη η οδος ανα μεσον αυτων
14 David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying: Wilt thou not answer, Abner? And Abner answering, said: Who art thou, that criest, and disturbest the king?	14 και προσεκαλεσατο δαυιδ τον λαον και τω αβεννηρ ελαλησεν λεγων ουκ αποκριθησει αβεννηρ και απεκριθη αβεννηρ και ειπεν τις ει συ ο καλων με
15 And David said to Abner: Art not thou a man? and who is like thee in Israel? why then hast thou not kept thy lord the king? for there came one of the people in to kill the king thy lord.	15 και ειπεν δαυιδ προς αβεννηρ ουκ ανηρ συ και τις ως συ εν ισραηλ και δια τι ου φυλασσεις τον κυριον σου τον βασιλεα οτι εισηλθεν εις εκ του λαου διαφθειραι τον βασιλεα κυριον σου
16 This thing is not good, that thou hast done: as the Lord liveth, you are the sons of death, who have not kept your master, the Lord's anointed. And now where is the king's spear, and the cup of water, which was at his head?	16 και ουκ αγαθον το ρημα τουτο ο πεποιηκας ζη κυριος οτι υιοι θανατωσεως υμεις οι φυλασσοντες τον βασιλεα κυριον υμων τον χριστον κυριου και νυν ιδε δη το δορυ του βασιλεως και ο φακος του υδατος που εστιν τα προς κεφαλης αυτου
17 And Saul knew David's voice, and said: Is this thy voice, my son David? And David said: It is my voice, my lord the king.	17 και επεγνω σαουλ την φωνην του δαυιδ και ειπεν η φωνη σου αυτη τεκνον δαυιδ και ειπεν δαυιδ δουλος σου κυριε βασιλευ
18 And he said: Wherefore doth my lord persecute his servant? What have I done? or what evil is there in my hand?	18 και ειπεν ινα τι τουτο καταδιωκει ο κυριος μου οπισω του δουλου αυτου οτι τι ημαρτηκα και τι ευρεθη εν εμοι αδικημα
19 Now therefore hear, I pray thee, my lord the king, the words of thy servant: If the Lord stir thee up against me, let him accept of sacrifice: but if the sons of men, they are cursed in the sight of the Lord, who have cast me out this day, that I should not dwell in the inheritance of the Lord, saying: Go, serve strange gods.	19 και νυν ακουσατω δη ο κυριος μου ο βασιλευς το ρημα του δουλου αυτου ει ο θεος επισειει σε επ' εμε οσφρανθειη θυσιας σου και ει υιοι ανθρωπων επικαταρατοι ουτοι ενωπιον κυριου οτι εξεβαλον με σημερον μη εστηρισθαι εν κληρονομια κυριου λεγοντες πορευου δουλευε θεοις ετεροις
20 And now let not my blood be shed upon the earth before the Lord: for the king of Israel is come out to seek a flea, as the partridge is hunted in the mountains.	20 και νυν μη πεσοι το αιμα μου επι την γην εξ εναντιας προσωπου κυριου οτι εξεληλυθεν ο βασιλευς ισραηλ ζητειν την ψυχην μου καθως καταδιωκει ο νυκτικοραξ εν τοις ορεσιν
21 And Saul said: I have sinned, return, my son David, for I will no more do thee harm, because my life hath been precious in thy eyes this day: for it appeareth that I have done foolishly, and have been ignorant in very many things.	21 και ειπεν σαουλ ημαρτηκα επιστρεφε τεκνον δαυιδ οτι ου κακοποιησω σε ανθ' ων εντιμος ψυχη μου εν οφθαλμοις σου εν τη σημερον μεματαιωμαι και ηγνοηκα πολλα σφοδρα
22 And David answering, said: Behold the king's spear: let one of the king's servants come over and fetch it.	22 και απεκριθη δαυιδ και ειπεν ιδου το δορυ του βασιλεως διελθετω εις των παιδαριων και λαβετω αυτο
23 And the Lord will reward every one according to his justice, and his faithfulness: for the Lord hath delivered thee this day into my hand, and I would not put forth my hand against the Lord's anointed.	23 και κυριος επιστρεψει εκαστω τας δικαιοσυνας αυτου και την πιστιν αυτου ως παρεδωκεν σε κυριος σημερον εις χειρας μου και ουκ ηθελησα επενεγκειν χειρα μου επι χριστον κυριου
24 And as thy life hath been much set by this day in my eyes, so let my life be much set by in the eyes of the Lord, and let him deliver me from all distress.	24 και ιδου καθως εμεγαλυνθη η ψυχη σου σημερον εν ταυτη εν οφθαλμοις μου ουτως μεγαλυνθειη η ψυχη μου ενωπιον κυριου και σκεπασαι με και εξελειται με εκ πασης θλιψεως
25 Then Saul said to David: Blessed art thou, my son David: and truly doing thou shalt do, and prevailing thou shalt prevail. And David went on his way, and Saul returned to his place.	25 και ειπεν σαουλ προς δαυιδ ευλογημενος συ τεκνον και ποιων ποιησεις και δυναμενος δυνησει και απηλθεν δαυιδ εις την οδον αυτου και σαουλ ανεστρεψεν εις τον τοπον αυτου
