GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Και ειπεν ο Σαουλ προς Ιωναθαν τον υιον αυτου και προς παντας τους δουλους αυτου, να θανατωσωσι τον Δαβιδ.	1 Now Saul spoke to his son Jonathan, and to all his servants, so that they would kill David. But Jonathan, the son of Saul, loved David very much.
2 Ο Ιωναθαν ομως, ο υιος του Σαουλ, ηγαπα καθ' υπερβολην τον Δαβιδ? και απηγγειλεν ο Ιωναθαν προς τον Δαβιδ, λεγων, Σαουλ ο πατηρ μου ζητει να σε θανατωση? τωρα λοιπον φυλαχθητι, παρακαλω, εως πρωι, και μενε εν αποκρυφω τοπω και κρυπτου?	2 And Jonathan revealed it to David, saying: “Saul, my father, is seeking to kill you. Because of this, I ask you, take care for yourself in the morning. And you should conceal yourself and remain in hiding.
3 εγω δε θελω εξελθει και σταθη πλησιον του πατρος μου εν τω αγρω οπου θελεις εισθαι, και θελω ομιλησει περι σου προς τον πατερα μου? και θελω ιδει τι ειναι και θελω σοι απαγγειλει.	3 Then I, going out, will be standing beside my father in the field, where you will be. And I will speak about you to my father. And whatever I see, I will report to you.”
4 Και ελαλησεν ο Ιωναθαν καλα περι του Δαβιδ προς τον Σαουλ τον πατερα αυτου και ειπε προς αυτον, Ας μη αμαρτηση ο βασιλευς εναντιον του δουλου αυτου, εναντιον του Δαβιδ? επειδη δεν ημαρτησεν εναντιον σου και επειδη τα εργα αυτου εσταθησαν εις σε πολυ καλα?	4 Then Jonathan spoke good things about David to his father Saul. And he said to him: “You should not sin, O king, against your servant David. For he has not sinned against you, and his works toward you are very good.
5 διοτι ερριψοκινδυνευσε την ζωην αυτου και εθανατωσε τον Φιλισταιον, και ο Κυριος εκαμε σωτηριαν μεγαλην εις παντα τον Ισραηλ? ειδες και εχαρης? δια τι λοιπον θελεις να αμαρτησης εναντιον αθωου αιματος, θανατονων τον Δαβιδ χωρις αιτιας;	5 And he took his life in his own hand, and struck down the Philistine. And the Lord wrought a great salvation for all of Israel. You saw it, and you rejoiced. Why then would you sin against innocent blood by killing David, who is without guilt?”
6 Και υπηκουσεν ο Σαουλ εις την φωνην του Ιωναθαν? και ωμοσεν ο Σαουλ, λεγων, Ζη Κυριος, δεν θελει θανατωθη.	6 And when Saul had heard this, being pleased by the voice of Jonathan, he swore, “As the Lord lives, he shall not be killed.”
7 Και εκραξεν ο Ιωναθαν τον Δαβιδ και απηγγειλε προς αυτον ο Ιωναθαν παντας τους λογους τουτους. Και εφερεν ο Ιωναθαν τον Δαβιδ προς τον Σαουλ, και ητο ενωπιον αυτου ως το προτερον.	7 And so Jonathan called David, and he revealed to him all of these words. And Jonathan led in David to Saul, and he was before him, just as he had been yesterday and the day before.
8 Εγεινε δε παλιν πολεμος? και εξηλθεν ο Δαβιδ και επολεμησε μετα των Φιλισταιων και επαταξεν αυτους εν σφαγη μεγαλη? και εφυγον απο προσωπου αυτου.	8 Then the war was stirred up again. And David went out and fought against the Philistines. And he struck them down with a great slaughter. And they fled from his face.
9 Και το πονηρον πνευμα παρα Κυριου εσταθη επι τον Σαουλ, ενω εκαθητο εν τω οικω αυτου μετα του δορατιου εν τη χειρι αυτου? ο δε Δαβιδ επαιζε το οργανον δια της χειρος αυτου.	9 And the evil spirit from the Lord came to Saul, who was sitting in his house and holding a lance. And David was playing music with his hand.
10 Και εζητησεν ο Σαουλ να κτυπηση με το δορατιον τον Δαβιδ και εως εις τον τοιχον? εξεκλινεν ομως απο προσωπου του Σαουλ και εκτυπησε τον τοιχον με το δορατιον? ο δε Δαβιδ εφυγε και διεσωθη εκεινην την νυκτα.	10 And Saul attempted to fix David to the wall with the lance. But David turned aside from the face of Saul. And the lance failed to wound him, and it became fixed in the wall. And David fled, and so he was saved that night.
11 Και απεστειλεν ο Σαουλ μηνυτας προς τον οικον του Δαβιδ, δια να παραφυλαξωσιν αυτον και να θανατωσωσιν αυτον το πρωι? απηγγειλε δε προς τον Δαβιδ η Μιχαλ, η γυνη αυτου, λεγουσα, Εαν δεν σωσης την ζωην σου την νυκτα ταυτην, αυριον θελεις θανατωθη.	11 Therefore, Saul sent his guards to David’s house, so that they might watch for him, and so that he might be killed in the morning. And after Michal, his wife, had reported this to David, saying, “Unless you save yourself this night, tomorrow you will die,”
12 Και κατεβιβασεν η Μιχαλ τον Δαβιδ δια της θυριδος? και ανεχωρησε και εφυγε και διεσωθη.	12 she lowered him down through a window. Then he fled and went away, and he was saved.
13 Τοτε λαβουσα η Μιχαλ ομοιωμα, εθεσεν επι της κλινης και εβαλεν εις την κεφαλην αυτου προσκεφαλαιον εκ τριχων αιγων και εσκεπασεν αυτο με φορεμα.	13 Then Michal took a statue, and placed it on the bed. And she placed the pelt of a goat for the hair at its head. And she covered it with clothes.
14 Και οτε απεστειλεν ο Σαουλ μηνυτας δια να συλλαβωσι τον Δαβιδ, εκεινη ειπεν, Αρρωστος ειναι.	14 And Saul sent attendants to seize David. And it was answered that he was sick.
15 Παλιν απεστειλεν ο Σαουλ τους μηνυτας δια να ιδωσι τον Δαβιδ, λεγων, Φερετε μοι αυτον επι της κλινης, δια να θανατωσω αυτον.	15 And again, Saul sent messengers to see David, saying, “Bring him to me on the bed, so that he may be killed.”
16 Και οτε εισηλθον οι μηνυται, ιδου, ητο το ομοιωμα επι της κλινης και προσκεφαλαιον εις την κεφαλην αυτου εκ τριχων αιγων.	16 And when the messengers had arrived, they found a likeness on the bed, with a goat pelt at its head.
17 Και ειπεν ο Σαουλ προς την Μιχαλ, Δια τι με ηπατησας ουτω και απεπεμψας τον εχθρον μου και διεσωθη; Και απεκριθη Μιχαλ προς τον Σαουλ, Αυτος ειπε προς εμε, Αφες με να φυγω? δια τι να σε θανατωσω;	17 And Saul said to Michal, “Why have you deceived me in this way, and released my enemy, so that he may flee?” And Michal responded to Saul, “Because he said to me, ‘Release me, otherwise I will kill you.’ ”
18 Και εφυγεν ο Δαβιδ και διεσωθη και ηλθε προς τον Σαμουηλ εις Ραμα, και απηγγειλε προς αυτον παντα οσα ειχε καμει εις αυτον ο Σαουλ? και υπηγαν, αυτος και ο Σαμουηλ, και κατωκησαν εν Ναυιωθ.	18 Now David was saved by fleeing, and he went to Samuel in Ramah. And he reported to him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went away and stayed at Naioth.
19 Απηγγειλαν δε προς τον Σαουλ και ειπον, Ιδου, ο Δαβιδ ειναι εν Ναυιωθ εν Ραμα.	19 Then it was reported to Saul by some, saying, “Behold, David is at Naioth, in Ramah.”
20 Και απεστειλεν ο Σαουλ μηνυτας να συλλαβωσι τον Δαβιδ? και οτε ειδον την συναξιν των προφητων προφητευοντων και τον Σαμουηλ προισταμενον επ' αυτους, επηλθε Πνευμα Θεου επι τους μηνυτας του Σαουλ, και προεφητευον και αυτοι.	20 Therefore, Saul sent officers to seize David. And when they had seen a company of prophets prophesying, with Samuel presiding over them, the Spirit of the Lord also came to them, and they also began to prophesy.
21 Και οτε απηγγελθη προς τον Σαουλ, απεστειλεν αλλους μηνυτας? και αυτοι ομοιως προεφητευον. Και απεστειλε παλιν ο Σαουλ τριτην φοραν μηνυτας, και αυτοι ετι προεφητευον.	21 And when this was reported to Saul, he sent other messengers. But they also prophesied. And again, Saul sent messengers a third time. And they also prophesied. And Saul, being exceedingly angry,
22 Τοτε υπηγε και αυτος εις Ραμα και ηλθεν εως του μεγαλου φρεατος του εν Σοκχω? και ηρωτησε, λεγων, Που ειναι ο Σαμουηλ και ο Δαβιδ; Και ειπον, Ιδου, εν Ναυιωθ εν Ραμα.	22 also went to Ramah himself. And he went as far as the great cistern, which is in Socoh. And he inquired and said, “In which place are Samuel and David?” And it was told to him, “Behold, they are at Naioth, in Ramah.”
23 Και υπηγεν εκει εις Ναυιωθ την εν Ραμα? και Πνευμα Θεου επηλθε και επ' αυτον? και εξηκολουθει την οδον αυτου προφητευων, εωσου ηλθεν εις Ναυιωθ εν Ραμα.	23 And he went to Naioth, in Ramah, and the Spirit of the Lord came to him also. And he continued on, walking and prophesying, until he arrived at Naioth, in Ramah.
24 Και εκδυθεις τα ιματια αυτου και αυτος, προεφητευεν ενωπιον του Σαμουηλ κατα τον αυτον τροπον, και κατεκειτο γυμνος ολην εκεινην την ημεραν και ολην την νυκτα. Δια τουτο λεγουσι, Και Σαουλ εν προφηταις;	24 And he also took off his garments, and he prophesied with the others before Samuel. And he fell down naked, throughout that day and night. From this, too, is derived the proverb, “Could Saul also be among the prophets?”
