1 Samuel 30
1 And when David and his men had arrived at Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had made an attack on the south side against Ziklag. And they had struck 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 they had led the women in it away as captives, from the small to the great. And they had not killed anyone, but they led them away with them. And then they traveled on their journey.
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 Therefore, when David and his men had arrived at the city, and had found it burned with fire, and that their wives and their sons and daughters had been led away as captives,
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 David and the people who were with him lifted up their voices. And they mourned until the tears in them failed.
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 For indeed, the two wives of David also had been led away as captives: Ahinoam, the Jezreelite, and Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel.
Και αμφότεραι αι γυναίκες του Δαβίδ ηχμαλωτίσθησαν, Αχινοάμ η Ιεζραηλίτις, και Αβιγαία η γυνή Νάβαλ του Καρμηλίτου.
6 And David was greatly saddened. And the people were willing to stone him, because the soul of every man was bitter over his sons and daughters. But David was strengthened by the Lord 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 he said to the priest Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech, “Bring the ephod to me.” And Abiathar brought 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 consulted the Lord, saying, “Shall I pursue these robbers, and will I overtake them, or not?” And the Lord said to him: “Pursue. For without doubt, you will overtake them and find the prey.”
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 Therefore, David went away, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and they arrived as far as the torrent Besor. And certain ones, being weary, stayed there.
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, who, being weary, were not able to cross the torrent 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 man in the field, and they led him to David. And they gave him bread, so that he might eat, and water, so that he might 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 also a section of a mass of dried figs, and two clusters of dried grapes. And when he had eaten, his spirit returned, and he was refreshed. For he had not eaten bread, nor drank water, for 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 so David said to him: “To whom do you belong? Or where are you from? And where are you going?” And he said: “I am a young man of Egypt, the servant of an Amalekite man. But my lord abandoned me, because I began to be sick the day before yesterday.
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 For indeed, we broke forth to the southern side of Cherethi, and against Judah, and to 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, “Are you able to lead me to this battle line?” And he said, “Swear to me by God that you will not kill me, and that you will not deliver me into the hands of my lord, and I will lead you to this battle line.” And David swore to him.
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 led him, behold, they were stretched out on the face of the land everywhere, eating and drinking and celebrating, as if it were a feast day, because of all the prey and spoils that they had taken from the land of the Philistines, and from 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 struck them down from evening until the evening of the next day. And no one among them escaped, except four hundred youths, who had climbed on 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 Therefore, David rescued all that the Amalekites had taken, and he rescued his two wives.
Και ηλευθέρωσεν ο Δαβίδ όσα ήρπασαν οι Αμαληκίται· και τας δύο γυναίκας αυτού ηλευθέρωσεν ο Δαβίδ.
19 And nothing was missing, from small even to great, among the sons and daughters, and among the spoils, and among everything whatsoever that they had seized. David returned it 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 he took all the flocks and the herds, and he drove them before his face. And they said, “This is the prey of David.”
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 Then David arrived at the two hundred men, who, being weary, had stayed, for they had not been able to follow David, and he had ordered them to remain at the torrent Besor. And they went out to meet David, and the people who were with him. Then David, drawing near to the people, greeted them peacefully.
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 And all the wicked and iniquitous men, out of the men who had gone with David, responding, said: “Since they did not go with us, we will not give to them anything from the prey that we have rescued. But let his wife and children be enough for each of them; when they have accepted this, they may go back.”
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 But David said: “You shall not do this, my brothers, with these things that the Lord has delivered to us, for he has preserved us, and he has given into our hands the robbers who broke out among us.
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 so, let no one heed you over these words. But equal shall be the portion of him who descended to the battle, and of him who remained with the supplies, and they will divide it 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 this has been done from that day and thereafter. And it was established as a statute, and as if a law, in Israel even 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 Then David went to Ziklag, and he sent gifts from the prey to the elders of Judah, his neighbors, saying, “Receive a blessing from the prey of the enemies of the Lord,”
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 who were in Ramoth toward the south, and who were in Jattir,
προς τους εν Βαιθήλ, και προς τους εν Ραμώθ τη μεσημβρινή, και προς τους εν Ιαθείρ,
28 and who were in Aroer, and who were in Siphmoth, and who were in Eshtemoa,
και προς τους εν Αροήρ, και προς τους εν Σιφμώθ, και προς τους εν Εσθεμωά,
29 and who were in Racal, and who were in the cities of Jerahmeel, and who were in the cities of Keni,
και προς τους εν Ραχάλ, και προς τους εν ταις πόλεσι των Ιεραμεηλιτών, και προς τους εν ταις πόλεσι των Κεναίων,
30 and who were in Hormah, and who were at the lake of Ashan, and who were in Athach,
και προς τους εν Ορμά, και προς τους εν Χωρ-ασάν, και προς τους εν Αθάχ,
31 and who were in Hebron, and to the remainder who were in those places where David had stayed, he and his men.
και προς τους εν Χεβρών, και προς πάντας τους τόπους, εις τους οποίους ο Δαβίδ περιήρχετο, αυτός και οι άνδρες αυτού.
