2 Samuel 4

DOUAI-RHEIMS	GREEK BIBLE
1 And Isboseth the son of Saul heard that Abner was slain in Hebron: and his hands were weakened, and all Israel was troubled.	1 Και οτε ηκουσεν ο υιος του Σαουλ οτι ο Αβενηρ απεθανεν εν Χεβρων, αι χειρες αυτου ενεκρωθησαν, και παντες οι Ισραηλιται συνεταραχθησαν.
2 Now the son of Saul had two men captains of his bands, the name of the one was Baana, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Remmon a Berothite of the children of Benjamin: for Beroth also was reckoned in Benjamin.	2 Ειχε δε ο υιος του Σαουλ δυο ανδρας, οιτινες ησαν οπλαργηγοι, το ονομα του ενος Βαανα, και το ονομα του αλλου Ρηχαβ, υιοι Ριμμων του Βηρωθαιου, εκ των υιων Βενιαμιν? διοτι και η Βηρωθ ελογιζετο του Βενιαμιν?
3 And the Berothites fled into Gethaim, and were sojourners there until that time.	3 οι δε Βηρωθαιοι ειχον φυγει εις Γιτθαιμ και ησαν εκει παροικουντες εως της ημερας ταυτης.
4 And Jonathan the son of Saul bad a son that was lame of his feet: for he was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan from Jezrahel. And his nurse took him up and fled: and as she made haste to flee, he fell and became lame: and his name was Miphiboseth.	4 Ιωναθαν δε, ο υιος του Σαουλ, ειχεν υιον βεβλαμμενον τους ποδας. Ητο ηλικιας πεντε ετων οτε ηλθον αι αγγελιαι εξ Ιεζραηλ περι του Σαουλ και Ιωναθαν, και εσηκωσεν αυτον τροφος αυτου και εφυγεν? ενω δε εσπευδε να φυγη, επεσεν αυτος και εχωλωθη? το δε ονομα αυτου Μεμφιβοσθε.
5 And the sons of Remmon the Berothite, Rechab and Baana coming, went into the house of Isboseth in the heat of the day: and he was sleeping upon his bed at noon. And the doorkeeper of the house, who was cleansing wheat, was fallen asleep.	5 Και υπηγαν οι υιοι Ριμμων του Βηρωθαιου, Ρηχαβ και Βαανα, και εις το καυμα της ημερας εισηλθον εις την οικιαν του Ις-βοσθε οστις εκοιτετο επι κλινης το μεσημεριον?
6 And they entered into the house secretly taking ears of corn, and Rechab and Baana his brother stabbed him in the groin, and fled away.	6 και εισηλθον εκει εως του μεσου της οικιας, ως δια να λαβωσι σιτον? και εκτυπησαν αυτον υπο την πεμπτην πλευραν? και ο Ρηχαβ και Βαανα ο αδελφος αυτου διεσωθησαν.
7 For when they came into the house, be was sleeping upon his bed in a parlour, and they struck him and killed him: and taking away his head they went off by the way of the wilderness, walking all night.	7 Διοτι οτε εισηλθον εις την οικιαν, εκεινος εκοιτετο επι της κλινης αυτου εντος του κοιτωνος αυτου? και εκτυπησαν αυτον και εθανατωσαν αυτον και απεκοψαν την κεφαλην αυτου, και λαβοντες την κεφαλην αυτου, ανεχωρησαν οδοιπορουντες δια της πεδιαδος ολην την νυκτα.
8 And they brought the head of Isboseth to David to Hebron: and they said to the king: Behold the head of Isboseth the son of Saul thy enemy who sought thy life: and the Lord hath revenged my lord the king this day of Saul, and of his seed.	8 Και εφερον την κεφαλην του Ις-βοσθε προς τον Δαβιδ εις Χεβρων και ειπον προς τον βασιλεα, Ιδου, η κεφαλη του Ις-βοσθε, υιου του Σαουλ του εχθρου σου, οστις εζητει την ζωην σου? και ο Κυριος εδωκεν εκδικησιν εις τον κυριον μου τον βασιλεα την ημεραν ταυτην, απο του Σαουλ και απο του σπερματος αυτου.
9 But David answered Rechab, and Baana his brother, the sons of Remmon the Berothite, and said to them: As the Lord liveth, who hath delivered my soul out of all distress,	9 Απεκριθη δε ο Δαβιδ προς τον Ρηχαβ και προς Βαανα τον αδελφον αυτου, τους υιους Ριμμων του Βηρωθαιου, και ειπε προς αυτους, Ζη Κυριος, οστις ελυτρωσε την ψυχην μου απο πασης στενοχωριας?
10 The man that told me, and said: Saul is dead, who thought he brought good tidings, I apprehended, and slew him in Siceleg, who should have been rewarded for his news.	10 εκεινον, οστις απηγγειλε προς εμε, λεγων, Ιδου, απεθανεν ο Σαουλ, και εστοχαζετο εαυτον μηνυτην αγαθης αγγελιας, επιασα αυτον και εθανατωσα αυτον εν Σικλαγ, αντι να βραβευσω αυτον δια την αγγελιαν αυτου?
11 How much more now when wicked men have slain an innocent man in his own house, upon his bed, shall I not require his blood at your hand, and take you away from the earth?	11 και ποσω μαλλον ανθρωπους πονηρους, φονευσαντας ανδρα δικαιον εν τη οικια αυτου επι της κλινης αυτου; τωρα λοιπον δεν θελω εκζητησει το αιμα αυτου εκ των χειρων σας και δεν θελω σας εξολοθρευσει απο της γης;
12 And David commanded his servants and they slew them: and cutting off their hands and feet, hanged them up over the pool in Hebron: but the head of Isboseth they took and buried in the sepulchre of Abner in Hebron.	12 Και προσεταξεν ο Δαβιδ τους νεους, και εθανατωσαν αυτους και εκοψαν τας χειρας αυτων και τους ποδας αυτων και εκρεμασαν αυτα επι το υδροστασιον εν Χεβρων? την δε κεφαλην του Ις-βοσθε ελαβον, και εθαψαν εν τω ταφω του Αβενηρ εν Χεβρων.
