LXX	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 και εγενετο μετα το αποθανειν σαουλ και δαυιδ ανεστρεψεν τυπτων τον αμαληκ και εκαθισεν δαυιδ εν σεκελακ ημερας δυο	1 After the death of Saul, David returned from his defeat of the Amalekites and spent two days in Ziklag.
2 και εγενηθη τη ημερα τη τριτη και ιδου ανηρ ηλθεν εκ της παρεμβολης εκ του λαου σαουλ και τα ιματια αυτου διερρωγοτα και γη επι της κεφαλης αυτου και εγενετο εν τω εισελθειν αυτον προς δαυιδ και επεσεν επι την γην και προσεκυνησεν αυτω	2 On the third day a man came from Saul's camp, with his clothes torn and dirt on his head. Going to David, he fell to the ground in homage.
3 και ειπεν αυτω δαυιδ ποθεν συ παραγινη και ειπεν προς αυτον εκ της παρεμβολης ισραηλ εγω διασεσωσμαι	3 David asked him, "Where do you come from?" He replied, "I have escaped from the Israelite camp."
4 και ειπεν αυτω δαυιδ τις ο λογος ουτος απαγγειλον μοι και ειπεν οτι εφυγεν ο λαος εκ του πολεμου και πεπτωκασι πολλοι εκ του λαου και απεθανον και απεθανεν και σαουλ και ιωναθαν ο υιος αυτου απεθανεν	4 "Tell me what happened," David bade him. He answered that the soldiers had fled the battle and that many of them had fallen and were dead, among them Saul and his son Jonathan.
5 και ειπεν δαυιδ τω παιδαριω τω απαγγελλοντι αυτω πως οιδας οτι τεθνηκεν σαουλ και ιωναθαν ο υιος αυτου	5 Then David said to the youth who was reporting to him, "How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?"
6 και ειπεν το παιδαριον το απαγγελλον αυτω περιπτωματι περιεπεσον εν τω ορει τω γελβουε και ιδου σαουλ επεστηρικτο επι το δορυ αυτου και ιδου τα αρματα και οι ιππαρχαι συνηψαν αυτω	6 The youthful informant replied: "It was by chance that I found myself on Mount Gilboa and saw Saul leaning on his spear, with chariots and horsemen closing in on him.
7 και επεβλεψεν επι τα οπισω αυτου και ειδεν με και εκαλεσεν με και ειπα ιδου εγω	7 He turned around and, seeing me, called me to him. When I said, 'Here I am,'
8 και ειπεν μοι τις ει συ και ειπα αμαληκιτης εγω ειμι	8 he asked me, 'Who are you?' and I replied, 'An Amalekite.'
9 και ειπεν προς με στηθι δη επανω μου και θανατωσον με οτι κατεσχεν με σκοτος δεινον οτι πασα η ψυχη μου εν εμοι	9 Then he said to me, 'Stand up to me, please, and finish me off, for I am in great suffering, yet fully alive.'
10 και επεστην επ' αυτον και εθανατωσα αυτον οτι ηδειν οτι ου ζησεται μετα το πεσειν αυτον και ελαβον το βασιλειον το επι την κεφαλην αυτου και τον χλιδωνα τον επι του βραχιονος αυτου και ενηνοχα αυτα τω κυριω μου ωδε	10 So I stood up to him and dispatched him, for I knew that he could not survive his wound. I removed the crown from his head and the armlet from his arm and brought them here to my lord."
11 και εκρατησεν δαυιδ των ιματιων αυτου και διερρηξεν αυτα και παντες οι ανδρες οι μετ' αυτου διερρηξαν τα ιματια αυτων	11 David seized his garments and rent them, and all the men who were with him did likewise.
12 και εκοψαντο και εκλαυσαν και ενηστευσαν εως δειλης επι σαουλ και επι ιωναθαν τον υιον αυτου και επι τον λαον ιουδα και επι τον οικον ισραηλ οτι επληγησαν εν ρομφαια	12 They mourned and wept and fasted until evening for Saul and his son Jonathan, and for the soldiers of the LORD of the clans of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword.
13 και ειπεν δαυιδ τω παιδαριω τω απαγγελλοντι αυτω ποθεν ει συ και ειπεν υιος ανδρος παροικου αμαληκιτου εγω ειμι	13 Then David said to the young man who had brought him the information, "Where are you from?" He replied, "I am the son of an Amalekite immigrant."
14 και ειπεν αυτω δαυιδ πως ουκ εφοβηθης επενεγκειν χειρα σου διαφθειραι τον χριστον κυριου	14 David said to him, "How is it that you were not afraid to put forth your hand to desecrate the LORD'S anointed?"
15 και εκαλεσεν δαυιδ εν των παιδαριων αυτου και ειπεν προσελθων απαντησον αυτω και επαταξεν αυτον και απεθανεν	15 David then called one of the attendants and said to him, "Come, strike him down"; and the youth struck him a mortal blow.
16 και ειπεν δαυιδ προς αυτον το αιμα σου επι την κεφαλην σου οτι το στομα σου απεκριθη κατα σου λεγων οτι εγω εθανατωσα τον χριστον κυριου	16 Meanwhile David said to him, "You are responsible for your own death, for you testified against yourself when you said, 'I dispatched the LORD'S anointed.'"
17 και εθρηνησεν δαυιδ τον θρηνον τουτον επι σαουλ και επι ιωναθαν τον υιον αυτου	17 Then David chanted this elegy for Saul and his son Jonathan,
18 και ειπεν του διδαξαι τους υιους ιουδα ιδου γεγραπται επι βιβλιου του ευθους	18 which is recorded in the Book of Jashar to be taught to the Judahites. He sang:
19 στηλωσον ισραηλ υπερ των τεθνηκοτων επι τα υψη σου τραυματιων πως επεσαν δυνατοι	19 "Alas! the glory of Israel, Saul, slain upon your heights; how can the warriors have fallen!
20 μη αναγγειλητε εν γεθ και μη ευαγγελισησθε εν ταις εξοδοις ασκαλωνος μηποτε ευφρανθωσιν θυγατερες αλλοφυλων μηποτε αγαλλιασωνται θυγατερες των απεριτμητων	20 "Tell it not in Gath, herald it not in the streets of Ashkelon, Lest the Philistine maidens rejoice, lest the daughters of the strangers exult!
21 ορη τα εν γελβουε μη καταβη δροσος και μη υετος εφ' υμας και αγροι απαρχων οτι εκει προσωχθισθη θυρεος δυνατων θυρεος σαουλ ουκ εχρισθη εν ελαιω	21 Mountains of Gilboa, may there be neither dew nor rain upon you, nor upsurgings of the deeps! Upon you lie begrimed the warriors' shields, the shield of Saul, no longer anointed with oil.
22 αφ' αιματος τραυματιων απο στεατος δυνατων τοξον ιωναθαν ουκ απεστραφη κενον εις τα οπισω και ρομφαια σαουλ ουκ ανεκαμψεν κενη	22 "From the blood of the slain, from the bodies of the valiant, The bow of Jonathan did not turn back, or the sword of Saul return unstained.
23 σαουλ και ιωναθαν οι ηγαπημενοι και ωραιοι ου διακεχωρισμενοι ευπρεπεις εν τη ζωη αυτων και εν τω θανατω αυτων ου διεχωρισθησαν υπερ αετους κουφοι και υπερ λεοντας εκραταιωθησαν	23 Saul and Jonathan, beloved and cherished, separated neither in life nor in death, swifter than eagles, stronger than lions!
24 θυγατερες ισραηλ επι σαουλ κλαυσατε τον ενδιδυσκοντα υμας κοκκινα μετα κοσμου υμων τον αναφεροντα κοσμον χρυσουν επι τα ενδυματα υμων	24 Women of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet and in finery, who decked your attire with ornaments of gold.
25 πως επεσαν δυνατοι εν μεσω του πολεμου ιωναθαν επι τα υψη σου τραυματιας	25 "How can the warriors have fallen-- in the thick of the battle, slain upon your heights!
26 αλγω επι σοι αδελφε μου ιωναθαν ωραιωθης μοι σφοδρα εθαυμαστωθη η αγαπησις σου εμοι υπερ αγαπησιν γυναικων	26 "I grieve for you, Jonathan my brother! most dear have you been to me; More precious have I held love for you than love for women.
27 πως επεσαν δυνατοι και απωλοντο σκευη πολεμικα	27 "How can the warriors have fallen, the weapons of war have perished!"
