1 Samuel 30
1 And it came to pass, when David and his men came to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had made a raid upon the South, and upon Ziklag, and had smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire,
Και ότε ο Δαβίδ και οι άνδρες αυτού εισήλθον εις Σικλάγ την τρίτην ημέραν, οι Αμαληκίται είχον κάμει εισδρομήν εις το μεσημβρινόν και εις Σικλάγ, και είχον πατάξει την Σικλάγ και κατακαύσει αυτήν εν πυρί·
2 and had taken captive the women and all that were in it, both small and great. They did not kill any, but carried them off, and went their way.
και είχον αιχμαλωτίσει τας γυναίκας τας εν αυτή, από μικρού έως μεγάλου· δεν εθανάτωσαν ουδένα, αλλά έλαβον αυτούς και υπήγαν εις την οδόν αυτών.
3 And when David and his men came to the city, behold, it was burned with fire. And their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captive.
Ο δε Δαβίδ και οι άνδρες αυτού ήλθον εις την πόλιν, και ιδού, ήτο πυρπολημένη· και αι γυναίκες αυτών και οι υιοί αυτών και αι θυγατέρες αυτών ηχμαλωτισμένοι.
4 Then David and the people who were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
Τότε ύψωσεν ο Δαβίδ και ο λαός ο μετ' αυτού την φωνήν αυτών και έκλαυσαν, εωσού δεν έμεινε πλέον εν αυτοίς δύναμις να κλαίωσι.
5 And David's two wives were taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
Και αμφότεραι αι γυναίκες του Δαβίδ ηχμαλωτίσθησαν, Αχινοάμ η Ιεζραηλίτις, και Αβιγαία η γυνή Νάβαλ του Καρμηλίτου.
6 And David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters. But David strengthened himself in Jehovah his God.
Και εθλίβη ο Δαβίδ σφόδρα· διότι ο λαός έλεγε να λιθοβολήσωσιν αυτόν, επειδή η ψυχή παντός του λαού ήτο κατάπικρος, έκαστος διά τους υιούς αυτού και διά τας θυγατέρας αυτού· ο Δαβίδ όμως εκραταιώθη εν Κυρίω τω Θεώ αυτού.
7 And David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, I pray thee, bring me here the ephod. And Abiathar brought there the ephod to David.
Και είπεν ο Δαβίδ προς Αβιάθαρ τον ιερέα, υιόν του Αχιμέλεχ, Φέρε μοι ενταύθα, παρακαλώ, το εφόδ. Και έφερεν ο Αβιάθαρ το εφόδ προς τον Δαβίδ.
8 And David inquired of Jehovah, saying, If I pursue after this troop, shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue, for thou shall surely overtake them, and shall without fail recover all.
Και ηρώτησεν ο Δαβίδ τον Κύριον, λέγων, Να καταδιώξω όπισθεν τούτων των ληστών; θέλω προφθάσει αυτούς; Ο δε είπε προς αυτόν, Καταδίωξον· διότι θέλεις βεβαίως προφθάσει και αφεύκτως θέλεις ελευθερώσει πάντα.
9 So David went, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those who were left behind stayed.
Τότε υπήγεν ο Δαβίδ, αυτός και οι εξακόσιοι άνδρες οι μετ' αυτού, και ήλθον έως του χειμάρρου Βοσόρ, όπου οι απομένοντες εστάθησαν.
10 But David pursued, he and four hundred men, for two hundred stayed behind, who were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor.
Ο δε Δαβίδ, αυτός και τετρακόσιοι άνδρες, κατεδίωκον, επειδή έμειναν οπίσω διακόσιοι, οίτινες αποκαμόντες δεν ηδύναντο να διαβώσι τον χείμαρρον Βοσόρ.
11 And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread. And he ate, and they gave him water to drink.
Και εύρηκαν άνθρωπον Αιγύπτιον εν αγρώ και έφεραν αυτόν προς τον Δαβίδ· και έδωκαν εις αυτόν άρτον, και έφαγε, και επότισαν αυτόν ύδωρ·
12 And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins. And when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him, for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights.
και έδωκαν εις αυτόν τμήμα πήττας σύκων και δύο βότρυς σταφίδων· και έφαγε, και επανήλθε το πνεύμα αυτού εις αυτόν· διότι δεν είχε φάγει άρτον ουδέ είχε πίει ύδωρ, τρεις ημέρας και τρεις νύκτας.
13 And David said to him, To whom do thou belong? And from where are thou? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite. And my master left me because three days ago I fell sick.
Και είπε προς αυτόν ο Δαβίδ, Τίνος είσαι; και πόθεν είσαι; Και είπεν, Είμαι νέος Αιγύπτιος, δούλος τινός Αμαληκίτου· και με αφήκεν ο κύριός μου, επειδή ηρρώστησα τρεις ημέρας τώρα·
14 We made a raid upon the South of the Cherethites, and upon that which belongs to Judah, and upon the South of Caleb, and we burned Ziklag with fire.
ημείς εκάμαμεν εισδρομήν εις το μεσημβρινόν των Χερεθαίων και εις τα μέρη της Ιουδαίας και εις το μεσημβρινόν του Χάλεβ· και επυρπολήσαμεν την Σικλάγ.
15 And David said to him, Will thou bring me down to this troop? And he said, Swear to me by God, that thou will neither kill me, nor deliver me up into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down to this troop.
Και είπε προς αυτόν ο Δαβίδ, Δύνασαι να με οδηγήσης κάτω προς τους ληστάς τούτους; Ο δε είπεν, Ομοσόν μοι εις τον Θεόν, ότι δεν θέλεις με θανατώσει ούτε θέλεις με παραδώσει εις την χείρα του κυρίου μου, και θέλω σε οδηγήσει κάτω προς τούτους τους ληστάς.
16 And when he had brought him down, behold, they were spread abroad over all the ground, eating and drinking, and dancing, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.
Και ότε ώδήγησεν αυτόν κάτω, ιδού, ήσαν διεσκορπισμένοι επί το πρόσωπον παντός του τόπου, τρώγοντες και πίνοντες και χορεύοντες, διά πάντα τα λάφυρα τα μεγάλα, τα οποία έλαβον εκ της γης των Φιλισταίων και εκ της γης του Ιούδα.
17 And David smote them from the twilight even to the evening of the next day. And there escaped not a man of them, except four hundred young men who rode upon camels and fled.
Και επάταξεν αυτούς ο Δαβίδ από της αυγής μέχρι της εσπέρας της επιούσης· και δεν διεσώθη ουδέ εις εξ αυτών, πλην τετρακοσίων νέων, οίτινες εκάθηντο επί καμήλων και έφυγον.
18 And David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken, and David rescued his two wives.
Και ηλευθέρωσεν ο Δαβίδ όσα ήρπασαν οι Αμαληκίται· και τας δύο γυναίκας αυτού ηλευθέρωσεν ο Δαβίδ.
19 And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor anything that they had taken to them; David brought back all.
Και δεν έλειψεν εις αυτούς ούτε μικρόν ούτε μέγα, ούτε υιοί ούτε θυγατέρες ούτε λάφυρον ούτε ουδέν εκ των όσα ήρπασαν απ' αυτών· τα πάντα επανέλαβεν ο Δαβίδ.
20 And David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drove before those other cattle, and said, This is David's spoil.
Και έλαβεν ο Δαβίδ πάντα τα πρόβατα και τους βόας, και φέροντες αυτά έμπροσθεν των άλλων κτηνών, έλεγον, Ταύτα είναι τα λάφυρα του Δαβίδ.
21 And David came to the two hundred men, who were so faint that they could not follow David, whom also they had made to abide at the brook Besor. And they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people who were with him. And when David came near to the people, he saluted them.
Και ήλθεν ο Δαβίδ προς τους διακοσίους άνδρας, οίτινες είχον αποκάμει ώστε δεν ηδυνήθησαν να ακολουθήσωσι τον Δαβίδ, όθεν εκάθισεν αυτούς εις τον χείμαρρον Βοσόρ· και εξήλθον εις συνάντησιν του Δαβίδ και εις συνάντησιν του λαού του μετ' αυτού· και ότε επλησίασεν ο Δαβίδ εις τον λαόν, εχαιρέτησεν αυτούς.
22 Then answered all the wicked men and base fellows of those who went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them anything of the spoil that we have recovered except to every man his wife and his children that he may lead them away, and depart.
Και απεκρίθηααν πάντες οι πονηροί και διεστραμμένοι εκ των ανδρών, οίτινες υπήγαν μετά του Δαβίδ, και είπον, Επειδή ούτοι δεν ήλθον μεθ' ημών, δεν θέλομεν δώσει εις αυτούς εκ των λαφύρων, τα οποία ανελάβομεν, παρά εις έκαστον την γυναίκα αυτού και τα τέκνα αυτού· και ας λάβωσιν αυτά και ας φύγωσιν.
23 Then David said, Ye shall not do so, my brothers, with that which Jehovah has given to us, who has preserved us, and delivered the troop that came against us into our hand.
Αλλ' ο Δαβίδ είπε, Δεν θέλετε κάμει ούτως, αδελφοί μου, εις εκείνα τα οποία ο Κύριος έδωκεν εις ημάς, όστις εφύλαξεν ημάς και παρέδωκεν εις την χείρα ημών τους ληστάς τους ελθόντας εναντίον ημών·
24 And who will hearken to you in this matter? For as his share is who goes down to the battle so shall his share be who remains by the baggage; they shall share alike.
και τις θέλει σας εισακούσει εις ταύτην την υπόθεσιν; αλλά κατά την μερίδα του καταβαίνοντος εις τον πόλεμον, ούτω θέλει είσθαι η μερίς του καθημένου πλησίον της αποσκευής· ίσα θέλουσι μοιράζεσθαι.
25 And it was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day.
Και έγεινεν ούτως απ' εκείνης της ημέρας και εις το εξής· και έκαμε τούτο νόμον και διάταγμα εν τω Ισραήλ έως της ημέρας ταύτης.
26 And when David came to Ziklag, he sent from the spoil to the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying, Behold, a present for you from the spoil of the enemies of Jehovah:
Ότε δε ήλθεν ο Δαβίδ εις Σικλάγ, έπεμψεν εκ των λαφύρων προς τους πρεσβυτέρους Ιούδα τους φίλους αυτού, λέγων, Ιδού εις εσάς ευλογία, εκ των λαφύρων των εχθρών του Κυρίου.
27 to those who were in Bethel, and to those who were in Ramoth of the South, and to those who were in Jattir,
προς τους εν Βαιθήλ, και προς τους εν Ραμώθ τη μεσημβρινή, και προς τους εν Ιαθείρ,
28 and to those who were in Aroer, and to those who were in Siphmoth, and to those who were in Eshtemoa,
και προς τους εν Αροήρ, και προς τους εν Σιφμώθ, και προς τους εν Εσθεμωά,
29 and to those who were in Racal, and to those who were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to those who were in the cities of the Kenites,
και προς τους εν Ραχάλ, και προς τους εν ταις πόλεσι των Ιεραμεηλιτών, και προς τους εν ταις πόλεσι των Κεναίων,
30 and to those who were in Hormah, and to those who were in Borashan, and to those who were in Athach,
και προς τους εν Ορμά, και προς τους εν Χωρ-ασάν, και προς τους εν Αθάχ,
31 and to those who were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were accustomed to frequent.
και προς τους εν Χεβρών, και προς πάντας τους τόπους, εις τους οποίους ο Δαβίδ περιήρχετο, αυτός και οι άνδρες αυτού.
