1 Samuel 13

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 When he began to reign, Saul was the son of one year, and he reigned over Israel for two years.	1 Ο Σαουλ ητο βασιλευς ενος ετους? αφου δε εβασιλευσε δυο ετη επι τον Ισραηλ,
2 And Saul chose for himself three thousand men of Israel. And two thousand were with Saul at Michmash and at mount Bethel. Then one thousand were with Jonathan at Gibeah of Benjamin. But the remainder of the people, he sent back, each one to his own tent.	2 εξελεξεν ο Σαουλ εις εαυτον τρεις χιλιαδας εκ του Ισραηλ? και ησαν μετα του Σαουλ δυο χιλιαδες εν Μιχμας και εν τω ορει Βαιθηλ, και χιλιοι ησαν μετα του Ιωναθαν εν Γαβαα του Βενιαμιν? το δε υπολοιπον του λαου εξαπεστειλεν εκαστον εις την σκηνην αυτου.
3 And Jonathan struck the garrison of the Philistines, which was in Gibeah. And when the Philistines had heard about it, Saul sounded the trumpet over all the land, saying, “Let the Hebrews listen.”	3 Και επαταξεν ο Ιωναθαν την φρουραν των Φιλισταιων την εν τω βουνω? και ηκουσαν οι Φιλισταιοι. Και εσαλπισεν ο Σαουλ δια της σαλπιγγος εν παση τη γη, λεγων, Ας ακουσωσιν οι Εβραιοι.
4 And all of Israel heard this report, that Saul had struck the garrison of the Philistines. And Israel raised himself up against the Philistines. Then the people cried out to Saul at Gilgal.	4 Και πας ο Ισραηλ ηκουσε να λεγωσιν, Επαταξεν ο Σαουλ την φρουραν των Φιλισταιων, και μαλιστα ο Ισραηλ μισειται υπο των Φιλισταιων. Και συνηχθη ο λαος κατοπιν του Σαουλ εν Γαλγαλοις.
5 And the Philistines gathered to do battle against Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and the remainder of the common people, who were very many, like the sand that is on the shore of the sea. And ascending, they encamped at Michmash, toward the east of Bethaven.	5 Οι δε Φιλισταιοι συνηθροισθησαν δια να πολεμησωσι μετα του Ισραηλ, τριακοντα χιλιαδες αμαξων και εξ χιλιαδες ιππεων και λαος ως η αμμος η επι του χειλους της θαλασσης κατα το πληθος? και ανεβησαν και εστρατοπεδευσαν εν Μιχμας, προς ανατολας της Βαιθ-αυεν.
6 And when the men of Israel had seen themselves to be in a narrowed position, they hid themselves in caves, and in out of the way places, and in rocks, and in hollows, and in pits (for the people were distressed).	6 Οτε οι ανδρες του Ισραηλ ειδον οτι ησαν εν αμηχανια, διοτι ο λαος εμικροψυχει, τοτε εκρυπτετο ο λαος εις τα σπηλαια και εις τα πυκνοφυτα και εις τους βραχους και εις τα οχυρα μερη και εις τους λακκους.
7 Then some of the Hebrews crossed over the Jordan, into the land of Gad and Gilead. And while Saul was still at Gilgal, the entire people who followed him were terrified.	7 Και τινες εκ των Εβραιων διεβησαν τον Ιορδανην προς την γην Γαδ και Γαλααδ. Ο δε Σαουλ αυτος ητο ακομη εν Γαλγαλοις? και πας ο λαος τρεμων κατοπιν αυτου.
8 But he waited for seven days, in accord with what was agreed with Samuel. But Samuel did not arrive at Gilgal, for the people were scattering away from him.	8 Και περιεμεινεν επτα ημερας, κατα τον διωρισμενον καιρον υπο του Σαμουηλ? αλλ' ο Σαμουηλ δεν ηρχετο εις Γαλγαλα? και ο λαος διεσκορπιζετο απο πλησιον αυτου.
9 Therefore, Saul said, “Bring me the holocaust and the peace offerings.” And he offered the holocaust.	9 Και ειπεν ο Σαουλ, Φερετε εδω προς εμε το ολοκαυτωμα, και τας ειρηνικας προσφορας. Και προσεφερε το ολοκαυτωμα.
10 And when he had completed the offering of the holocaust, behold, Samuel arrived. And Saul went out to meet him, so that he might greet him.	10 Και ως ετελειωσε προσφερων το ολοκαυτωμα, ιδου, ηλθεν ο Σαμουηλ? και εξηλθεν ο Σαουλ εις συναντησιν αυτου, δια να χαιρετηση αυτον.
11 And Samuel said to him, “What have you done?” Saul responded: “Since I saw that the people were scattering away from me, and you had not arrived after the agreed upon days, and yet the Philistines had gathered together at Michmash,	11 Και ειπεν ο Σαμουηλ, Τι εκαμες; Και απεκριθη ο Σαουλ, Επειδη ειδον οτι ο λαος διεσκορπιζετο απ' εμου, και συ δεν ηλθες την διωρισμενην ημεραν, οι δε Φιλισταιοι συνηθροιζοντο εις Μιχμας,
12 I said: ‘Now the Philistines will descend to me at Gilgal. And I have not appeased the face of the Lord.’ Compelled by necessity, I offered the holocaust.	12 δια τουτο ειπα, Τωρα θελουσι καταβη οι Φιλισταιοι εναντιον μου εις Γαλγαλα, και εγω δεν εκαμα δεησιν προς τον Κυριον? ετολμησα λοιπον, και προσεφερα το ολοκαυτωμα.
13 And Samuel said to Saul: “You have acted foolishly. You have not kept the commandments of the Lord your God, which he instructed to you. And if you had not acted in this way, the Lord would, here and now, have prepared your kingdom over Israel forever.	13 Και ειπεν ο Σαμουηλ προς τον Σαουλ, Συ επραξας αφρονως? δεν εφυλαξας το προσταγμα Κυριου του Θεου σου, το οποιον προσεταξεν εις σε? διοτι τωρα ο Κυριος ηθελε στερεωσει την βασιλειαν σου επι τον Ισραηλ εως του αιωνος?
14 But by no means shall your kingdom rise up any more. The Lord has sought for himself a man according to his own heart. And him the Lord has instructed to be the leader over his people, because you have not kept what the Lord has instructed.”	14 αλλα τωρα η βασιλεια σου δεν θελει στηριχθη? ο Κυριος εζητησεν εις εαυτον ανθρωπον κατα την καρδιαν αυτου, και διωρισεν ο Κυριος αυτον να ηναι αρχων επι τον λαον αυτου, επειδη δεν εφυλαξας εκεινο το οποιον προσεταξεν εις σε ο Κυριος.
15 Then Samuel rose up and ascended from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. And the remainder of the people ascended after Saul, to meet the people who were fighting against them, going from Gilgal into Gibeah, to the hill of Benjamin. And Saul took a census of the people, who had been found to be with him, about six hundred men.	15 Και εσηκωθη ο Σαμουηλ και ανεβη απο Γαλγαλων εις Γαβαα του Βενιαμιν. Ο δε Σαουλ ηριθμησε τον λαον τον ευρεθεντα μετ' αυτου, περιπου εξακοσιους ανδρας.
16 And Saul, and his son Jonathan, and the people who had been found to be with them, were at Gibeah of Benjamin. But the Philistines had settled in at Michmash.	16 Και ο Σαουλ και Ιωναθαν ο υιος αυτου και ο λαος ο ευρεθεις μετ' αυτων, εκαθηντο εν Γαβαα του Βενιαμιν? οι δε Φιλισταιοι ησαν εστρατοπεδευμενοι εν Μιχμας.
17 And three companies went out from the camp of the Philistines, in order to plunder. One company was traveling toward the way of Ophrah, to the land of Shual.	17 Και εξηλθον λεηλαται εκ του στρατοπεδου των Φιλισταιων εις τρια σωματα? το εν σωμα εστραφη εις την οδον Οφρα, προς την γην Σωγαλ?
18 Then another entered along the way of Beth-horon. But the third turned itself to the way of the border, overhanging the valley of Zeboim, opposite the desert.	18 και το αλλο σωμα εστραφη εις την οδον Βαιθ-ωρων? και το αλλο σωμα εστραφη εις την οδον του οριου, το οποιον βλεπει προς την κοιλαδα Σεβωειμ, κατα την ερημον.
19 Now there was no worker of iron to be found in all the land of Israel. For the Philistines had been cautious, lest perhaps the Hebrews might make swords or spears.	19 Και σιδηρουργος δεν ευρισκετο εν παση τη γη Ισραηλ? διοτι οι Φιλισταιοι ειπον, Μηποτε οι Εβραιοι κατασκευασωσι ρομφαιας η λογχας?
20 Therefore, all of Israel descended to the Philistines, so that each man could sharpen his plowshare, or pick axe, or hatchet, or hoe.	20 αλλα κατεβαινον παντες οι Ισραηλιται προς τους Φιλισταιους, δια να ακονωσιν εκαστος το υνιον αυτου και την δικελλαν αυτου και την αξινην αυτου, και την σκαπανην αυτου,
21 For their plow blades, and pick axes, and pitch forks, and axes had become blunt, and even the handles needed to be repaired.	21 οσακις ηθελον αμβλυνθη αι σκαπαναι και αι δικελλαι και τα τρικρανα και αι αξιναι αυτων? και δια να οξυνωσι τα βουκεντρα αυτων.
22 And when the day of battle had arrived, there was found neither sword nor spear in the hand of the entire people who were with Saul and Jonathan, except for Saul and his son Jonathan.	22 Δια τουτο εν τη ημερα της μαχης, δεν ευρισκετο ουτε μαχαιρα ουτε λογχη εις την χειρα τινος εκ του λαου του οντος μετα του Σαουλ και Ιωναθαν? εις τον Σαουλ ομως και εις τον Ιωναθαν τον υιον αυτου ευρεθησαν.
23 Then the army of the Philistines went out in order to go across Michmash.	23 Η δε φρουρα των Φιλισταιων εξηλθε προς το περασμα Μιχμας.
