GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Συνηθροισαν δε οι Φιλισταιοι παντα τα στρατευματα αυτων εις Αφεκ? και οι Ισραηλιται εστρατοπεδευσαν παρα την πηγην την εν Ιεζραελ.	1 Then all the troops of the Philistines were gathered together at Aphek. But Israel also made camp, above the spring which is in Jezreel.
2 Και οι σατραπαι των Φιλισταιων διεβαινον κατα εκατονταδας και χιλιαδας? ο Δαβιδ δε και οι ανδρες αυτου διεβαινον κατοπισθεν μετα του Αγχους.	2 And indeed, the princes of the Philistines advanced by hundreds and by thousands; but David and his men were in the rear with Achish.
3 Και ειπον οι στρατηγοι των Φιλισταιων, Τι θελουσιν ουτοι οι Εβραιοι; Και ειπεν ο Αγχους προς τους στρατηγους των Φιλισταιων, Δεν ειναι ουτος ο Δαβιδ, ο δουλος του Σαουλ βασιλεως του Ισραηλ, οστις εσταθη μετ' εμου ταυτας τας ημερας η τουτους τους χρονους; και δεν ευρηκα εν αυτω ουδεν σφαλμα, αφου ενεπεσεν εις εμε εως της ημερας ταυτης.	3 And the leaders of the Philistines said to Achish, “What do these Hebrews intend to do?” And Achish said to the leaders of the Philistines: “Could you be ignorant about David, who was the servant of Saul, the king of Israel, and who has been with me for many days, even years, and I have not found within him anything, from the day that he fled to me, even to this day?”
4 Και ηγανακτησαν κατ' αυτου οι στρατηγοι των Φιλισταιων? και ειπον προς αυτον οι στρατηγοι των Φιλισταιων, Αποπεμψον τον ανθρωπον τουτον, και ας επιστρεψη εις τον τοπον αυτου, τον οποιον διωρισας εις αυτον, και ας μη καταβη μεθ' ημων εις την μαχην, μηποτε γεινη εν τη μαχη πολεμιος ημων? διοτι πως ηθελε διαλλαγη ουτος μετα του κυριου αυτου; ουχι με τας κεφαλας των ανδρων τουτων;	4 Then the leaders of the Philistines became angry against him, and they said to him: “Let this man return, and let him settle in his place, which you appointed for him. But let him not descend with us to battle, lest he become an adversary to us when we begin to fight. For in what other way will he be able to please his lord, except with our heads?
5 δεν ειναι ουτος ο Δαβιδ, περι του οποιον εψαλλον αμοιβαιως εν τοις χοροις, λεγοντες, Ο Σαουλ επαταξε τας χιλιαδας αυτου, Και ο Δαβιδ τας μυριαδας αυτου;	5 Is not this the David, about whom they were singing, while dancing, saying: ‘Saul struck down his thousands, but David his ten thousands?’ ”
6 Τοτε εκαλεσεν ο Αγχους τον Δαβιδ και ειπε προς αυτον, Ζη Κυριος, βεβαιως εσταθης ευθυς, και η εξοδος σου και η εισοδος σου μετ' εμου εν τω στρατοπεδω ειναι αρεστη εμπροσθεν των οφθαλμων μου? διοτι κακον δεν ευρηκα εν σοι, αφ' ης ημερας ηλθες προς εμε εως της ημερας ταυτης? αλλ' ομως εις τους οφθαλμους των σατραπων δεν εισαι αρεστος?	6 Therefore, Achish called David, and he said to him: “As the Lord lives, you are good and righteous in my sight, even in your departure and your return with me in the military camp. And I have not found anything evil in you, from the day that you came to me, even to this day. But you are not pleasing to the princes.
7 τωρα λοιπον επιστρεψον και υπαγε εν ειρηνη, δια να μη φερης δυσαρεσκειαν εις τους σατραπας των Φιλισταιων.	7 Therefore, return, and go in peace, so that you do not offend the eyes of the princes of the Philistines.”
8 Και ειπεν ο Δαβιδ προς τον Αγχους, Αλλα τι εκαμα; και τι ευρηκας εν τω δουλω σου αφ' ης ημερας ειμαι ενωπιον σου, εως της ημερας ταυτης, ωστε να μη υπαγω να πολεμησω εναντιον των εχθρων του κυριου μου του βασιλεως;	8 And David said to Achish, “But what have I done, or what have you found in me, your servant, from the day that I was in your sight to this day, so that I may not go out and fight against the enemies of my lord, the king?”
9 Και απεκριθη ο Αγχους και ειπε προς τον Δαβιδ, Εξευρω οτι εισαι αρεστος εις τους οφθαλμους μου, ως αγγελος Θεου? πλην οι σατραπαι των Φιλισταιων ειπον, Δεν θελει αναβη μεθ' ημων εις την μαχην?	9 And in response, Achish said to David: “I know that you are good in my sight, like an angel of God. But the leaders of the Philistines have said: ‘He shall not go up with us to the battle.’
10 τωρα λοιπον σηκωθητι ενωρις το πρωι, μετα των δουλων του κυριου σου, των ελθοντων μετα σου? και καθως σηκωθητε ενωρις το πρωι, ευθυς οταν φεγξη, αναχωρησατε.	10 And so, rise up in the morning, you and the servants of your lord who came with you. And when you have risen up in the night, as it begins to be light, go forth.”
11 Και εσηκωθη ενωρις το πρωι ο Δαβιδ και οι ανδρες αυτου, δια να αναχωρησωσι, να επιστρεψωσιν εις την γην των Φιλισταιων. Οι δε Φιλισταιοι ανεβησαν εις Ιεζραελ.	11 And so David rose up in the night, he and his men, so that they might set out in the morning. And they returned to the land of the Philistines. But the Philistines ascended to Jezreel.
