Βασιλειῶν Αʹ 30
1 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·
And it came to pass when David and his men came to Ziklag on the third day, that the 'Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burnt it with fire;
2 και είχον αιχμαλωτίσει τας γυναίκας τας εν αυτή, από μικρού έως μεγάλου· δεν εθανάτωσαν ουδένα, αλλά έλαβον αυτούς και υπήγαν εις την οδόν αυτών.
And had taken captive the women that were therein, both great and small: they had not slain any one, but had led them off, and gone on their way.
3 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.
When therefore David and his men came to the city, behold, it was burnt with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, had been taken captive.
4 Τότε ύψωσεν ο Δαβίδ και ο λαός ο μετ' αυτού την φωνήν αυτών και έκλαυσαν, εωσού δεν έμεινε πλέον εν αυτοίς δύναμις να κλαίωσι.
And David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
5 Και αμφότεραι αι γυναίκες του Δαβίδ ηχμαλωτίσθησαν, Αχινοάμ η Ιεζραηλίτις, και Αβιγαία η γυνή Νάβαλ του Καρμηλίτου.
And the two wives of David were also taken captive, Achino'am the Yizre'elitess, and Abigayil the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
6 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.
And David was greatly distressed; for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was imbittered, every man for his sons and for his daughters; but David fortified himself in the Lord his God.
7 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.
And David said to Ebyathar the priest, the son of Achimelech, Bring hither, I pray thee, unto me the ephod. And Ebyathar brought the ephod near unto David.
8 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.
And David asked counsel of the Lord, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop! shall I overtake them? And he said to him, Pursue; for thou wilt surely overtake them, and certainly recover [all].
9 Τότε υπήγεν ο Δαβίδ, αυτός και οι εξακόσιοι άνδρες οι μετ' αυτού, και ήλθον έως του χειμάρρου Βοσόρ, όπου οι απομένοντες εστάθησαν.
So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and came up to the brook Bessor, where those that were left behind stayed.
10 Ο δε Δαβίδ, αυτός και τετρακόσιοι άνδρες, κατεδίωκον, επειδή έμειναν οπίσω διακόσιοι, οίτινες αποκαμόντες δεν ηδύναντο να διαβώσι τον χείμαρρον Βοσόρ.
But David pursued on, he and four hundred men; and there stayed behind two hundred men, who were too fatigued to go over the brook Bessor.
11 Και εύρηκαν άνθρωπον Αιγύπτιον εν αγρώ και έφεραν αυτόν προς τον Δαβίδ· και έδωκαν εις αυτόν άρτον, και έφαγε, και επότισαν αυτόν ύδωρ·
And they found an Egyptian man in the field, and took him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they made him drink water;
12 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.
And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins, and he ate, and then his spirit returned to him; for he had not eaten any bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights.
13 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·
And David said unto him, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he said, I am a young Egyptian man, the servant to an 'Amalekite; and my master left me behind, because I fell sick, today three days ago.
14 ημείς εκάμαμεν εισδρομήν εις το μεσημβρινόν των Χερεθαίων και εις τα μέρη της Ιουδαίας και εις το μεσημβρινόν του Χάλεβ· και επυρπολήσαμεν την Σικλάγ.
We made an invasion upon the south of the Kerethites, and upon that which belongeth to Judah, and upon the south of Caleb; and Ziklag did we burn with fire.
15 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.
And David said to him, Wilt thou bring me down to this troop? And he said, Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt not kill me, and that thou wilt not surrender me into the hand of my master, and then will I bring thee down to this troop.
16 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.
And he brought him down; and behold, they were scattered over the face of all the country, eating and drinking, and dancing for joy, because of all the great spoil which they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.
17 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.
And David smote them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day; and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, who rode upon camels, and fled.
18 Και ηλευθέρωσεν ο Δαβίδ όσα ήρπασαν οι Αμαληκίται· και τας δύο γυναίκας αυτού ηλευθέρωσεν ο Δαβίδ.
And David recovered all that the 'Amalekites had taken away; and his two wives also did David rescue.
19 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.
And there was nothing missing to them, from small to great, as also sons and daughters, and spoil, down to every thing that they had taken from them: the whole did David bring back.
20 Και έλαβεν ο Δαβίδ πάντα τα πρόβατα και τους βόας, και φέροντες αυτά έμπροσθεν των άλλων κτηνών, έλεγον, Ταύτα είναι τα λάφυρα του Δαβίδ.
And David took all the flocks and the herds: these they drove before those other cattle, and said, This is David's spoil.
21 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.
And David came to the two hundred men, who had been too fatigued to follow after David, and whom they had left to remain at the brook Bessor: and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him; and David came near to the people, and asked them after their well-being.
22 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.
Then exclaimed every wicked and worthless man, of those that had gone with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them aught of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, and these they may lead away, and go.
23 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·
Then said David, Ye must not do so, my brethren; since the Lord hath given us this, and guarded us, and delivered the troop that came against us into our hand.
24 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.
And who will hearken unto you in this matter? but as is the part of him that went down to the battle, so shall be the part of him that remained with the baggage: together must they share.
25 Και έγεινεν ούτως απ' εκείνης της ημέρας και εις το εξής· και έκαμε τούτο νόμον και διάταγμα εν τω Ισραήλ έως της ημέρας ταύτης.
And it happened from that day and forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel until this day.
26 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.
And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil unto the elders of Judah, to his friends, saying, Behold, here is a present for you from the spoil of the enemies of the Lord:
27 προς τους εν Βαιθήλ, και προς τους εν Ραμώθ τη μεσημβρινή, και προς τους εν Ιαθείρ,
To those who were in Beth-el, and to those who were in south Ramoth, and to those who were in Yattir,
28 και προς τους εν Αροήρ, και προς τους εν Σιφμώθ, και προς τους εν Εσθεμωά,
And to those who were in 'Aro'er, and to those who were in Siphmoth, and to those who were in Eshtemoa',
29 και προς τους εν Ραχάλ, και προς τους εν ταις πόλεσι των Ιεραμεηλιτών, και προς τους εν ταις πόλεσι των Κεναίων,
And to those who were in Rachal, and to those who were in the cities of Yerach-meelites, and to those who were in the cities of the Kenites,
30 και προς τους εν Ορμά, και προς τους εν Χωρ-ασάν, και προς τους εν Αθάχ,
And to those who were in Chormah, and to those who were in Kor-'ashan, and to those who were in 'Athach,
31 και προς τους εν Χεβρών, και προς πάντας τους τόπους, εις τους οποίους ο Δαβίδ περιήρχετο, αυτός και οι άνδρες αυτού.
And to those who were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men had wandered about.
