ΒΑΣΙΛΕΙΩΝ Α´ - 1 Samuele - Kings I 8

LXX	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 και εγενετο ως εγηρασεν σαμουηλ και κατεστησεν τους υιους αυτου δικαστας τω ισραηλ	1 In his old age Samuel appointed his sons judges over Israel.
2 και ταυτα τα ονοματα των υιων αυτου πρωτοτοκος ιωηλ και ονομα του δευτερου αβια δικασται εν βηρσαβεε	2 His first-born was named Joel, his second son, Abijah; they judged at Beer-sheba.
3 και ουκ επορευθησαν οι υιοι αυτου εν οδω αυτου και εξεκλιναν οπισω της συντελειας και ελαμβανον δωρα και εξεκλινον δικαιωματα	3 His sons did not follow his example but sought illicit gain and accepted bribes, perverting justice.
4 και συναθροιζονται ανδρες ισραηλ και παραγινονται εις αρμαθαιμ προς σαμουηλ	4 Therefore all the elders of Israel came in a body to Samuel at Ramah
5 και ειπαν αυτω ιδου συ γεγηρακας και οι υιοι σου ου πορευονται εν τη οδω σου και νυν καταστησον εφ' ημας βασιλεα δικαζειν ημας καθα και τα λοιπα εθνη	5 and said to him, "Now that you are old, and your sons do not follow your example, appoint a king over us, as other nations have, to judge us."
6 και ην πονηρον το ρημα εν οφθαλμοις σαμουηλ ως ειπαν δος ημιν βασιλεα δικαζειν ημας και προσηυξατο σαμουηλ προς κυριον	6 Samuel was displeased when they asked for a king to judge them. He prayed to the LORD, however,
7 και ειπεν κυριος προς σαμουηλ ακουε της φωνης του λαου καθα αν λαλησωσιν σοι οτι ου σε εξουθενηκασιν αλλ' η εμε εξουδενωκασιν του μη βασιλευειν επ' αυτων	7 who said in answer: "Grant the people's every request. It is not you they reject, they are rejecting me as their king.
8 κατα παντα τα ποιηματα α εποιησαν μοι αφ' ης ημερας ανηγαγον αυτους εξ αιγυπτου εως της ημερας ταυτης και εγκατελιπον με και εδουλευον θεοις ετεροις ουτως αυτοι ποιουσιν και σοι	8 As they have treated me constantly from the day I brought them up from Egypt to this day, deserting me and worshiping strange gods, so do they treat you too.
9 και νυν ακουε της φωνης αυτων πλην οτι διαμαρτυρομενος διαμαρτυρη αυτοις και απαγγελεις αυτοις το δικαιωμα του βασιλεως ος βασιλευσει επ' αυτους	9 Now grant their request; but at the same time, warn them solemnly and inform them of the rights of the king who will rule them."
10 και ειπεν σαμουηλ παν το ρημα κυριου προς τον λαον τους αιτουντας παρ' αυτου βασιλεα	10 Samuel delivered the message of the LORD in full to those who were asking him for a king.
11 και ειπεν τουτο εσται το δικαιωμα του βασιλεως ος βασιλευσει εφ' υμας τους υιους υμων λημψεται και θησεται αυτους εν αρμασιν αυτου και ιππευσιν αυτου και προτρεχοντας των αρματων αυτου	11 He told them: "The rights of the king who will rule you will be as follows: He will take your sons and assign them to his chariots and horses, and they will run before his chariot.
12 και θεσθαι αυτους εαυτω χιλιαρχους και εκατονταρχους και θεριζειν θερισμον αυτου και τρυγαν τρυγητον αυτου και ποιειν σκευη πολεμικα αυτου και σκευη αρματων αυτου	12 He will also appoint from among them his commanders of groups of a thousand and of a hundred soldiers. He will set them to do his plowing and his harvesting, and to make his implements of war and the equipment of his chariots.
13 και τας θυγατερας υμων λημψεται εις μυρεψους και εις μαγειρισσας και εις πεσσουσας	13 He will use your daughters as ointment-makers, as cooks, and as bakers.
14 και τους αγρους υμων και τους αμπελωνας υμων και τους ελαιωνας υμων τους αγαθους λημψεται και δωσει τοις δουλοις αυτου	14 He will take the best of your fields, vineyards, and olive groves, and give them to his officials.
15 και τα σπερματα υμων και τους αμπελωνας υμων αποδεκατωσει και δωσει τοις ευνουχοις αυτου και τοις δουλοις αυτου	15 He will tithe your crops and your vineyards, and give the revenue to his eunuchs and his slaves.
16 και τους δουλους υμων και τας δουλας υμων και τα βουκολια υμων τα αγαθα και τους ονους υμων λημψεται και αποδεκατωσει εις τα εργα αυτου	16 He will take your male and female servants, as well as your best oxen and your asses, and use them to do his work.
17 και τα ποιμνια υμων αποδεκατωσει και υμεις εσεσθε αυτω δουλοι	17 He will tithe your flocks and you yourselves will become his slaves.
18 και βοησεσθε εν τη ημερα εκεινη εκ προσωπου βασιλεως υμων ου εξελεξασθε εαυτοις και ουκ επακουσεται κυριος υμων εν ταις ημεραις εκειναις οτι υμεις εξελεξασθε εαυτοις βασιλεα	18 When this takes place, you will complain against the king whom you have chosen, but on that day the LORD will not answer you."
19 και ουκ ηβουλετο ο λαος ακουσαι του σαμουηλ και ειπαν αυτω ουχι αλλ' η βασιλευς εσται εφ' ημας	19 The people, however, refused to listen to Samuel's warning and said, "Not so! There must be a king over us.
20 και εσομεθα και ημεις κατα παντα τα εθνη και δικασει ημας βασιλευς ημων και εξελευσεται εμπροσθεν ημων και πολεμησει τον πολεμον ημων	20 We too must be like other nations, with a king to rule us and to lead us in warfare and fight our battles."
21 και ηκουσεν σαμουηλ παντας τους λογους του λαου και ελαλησεν αυτους εις τα ωτα κυριου	21 When Samuel had listened to all the people had to say, he repeated it to the LORD,
22 και ειπεν κυριος προς σαμουηλ ακουε της φωνης αυτων και βασιλευσον αυτοις βασιλεα και ειπεν σαμουηλ προς ανδρας ισραηλ αποτρεχετω εκαστος εις την πολιν αυτου	22 who then said to him, "Grant their request and appoint a king to rule them." Samuel thereupon said to the men of Israel, "Each of you go to his own city."
