I Samuel 14

Now it came to pass upon a day, that Jonathan the son of Saul said unto the young man that bare his armour, Come, and let us go over to the Philistines' garrison, that is on the other side. But he told not his father.

Ημεραν δε τινα ειπεν Ιωναθαν, ο υιος του Σαουλ, προς τον νεον τον βασταζοντα τα οπλα αυτου, Ελθε, και ας περασωμεν προς την φρουραν των Φιλισταιων, την εν τω περαν προς τον πατερα αυτου ομως δεν εφανερωσε τουτο.

And Saul tarried in the uttermost part of Gibeah under a pomegranate tree which is in Migron: and the people that were with him were about six hundred men;

Ο δε Σαουλ εκαθητο επι του ακρου του Γαβαα, υπο την �οδιαν την εν Μιγρων και ο λαος ο μετ αυτου ητο εως εξακοσιοι ανδρες

And Ahiah, the son of Ahitub, I–chabod's brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the LORD'S priest in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. And the people knew not that Jonathan was gone.

και Αχια, ο υιος του Αχιτωβ, αδελφου του Ιχαβωδ, υιου του Φινεες, υιου του Ηλει, ιερευς του Κυριου εν Σηλω, φορων εφοδ. Και ο λαος δεν ηξευρεν οτι υπηγεν ο Ιωναθαν.

And between the passages, by which Jonathan sought to go over unto the Philistines' garrison, there was a sharp rock on the one side, and a sharp rock on the other side: and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.

Μεταξυ δε των διαβασεων, δια των οποιων ο Ιωναθαν εζητει να περαση προς την φρουραν των Φιλισταιων, ητο αποτομος βραχος εξ ενος μερους και αποτομος βραχος εκ του αλλου μερους και το ονομα του ενος Βοσες, το δε ονομα του αλλον Σενε.

The forefront of the one was situate northward over against Michmash, and the other southward over against Gibeah.

Το μετωπον του ενος βραχου ητο προς βορραν απεναντι Μιχμας, και το του αλλου προς νοτον απεναντι Γαβαα.

And Jonathan said to the young man that bare his armour, Come, and let us go over unto the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may be that the LORD will work for us: for there is no restraint to the LORD to save by many or by few.

Και ειπεν ο Ιωναθαν προς τον νεον τον βασταζοντα τα οπλα αυτου, Ελθε, και ας περασωμεν προς την φρουραν των απεριτμητων τουτων ισως ενεργηση ο Κυριος υπερ ημων διοτι δεν ειναι εις τον Κυριον εμποδιον να σωση δια πολλων η δι ολιγων.

And his armourbearer said unto him, Do all that is in thine heart: turn thee; behold, I am with thee according to thy heart.

Και ειπε προς αυτον ο οπλοφορος αυτου, Καμε ο, τι ειναι εν τη καρδια σου προχωρει ιδου, εγω ειμαι μετα σου κατα την καρδιαν σου.

Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass over unto these men, and we will discover ourselves unto them.

Τοτε ειπεν ο Ιωναθαν, Ιδου, ημεις θελομεν περασει προς τους ανδρας και θελομεν δειχθη εις αυτους

If they say thus unto us, Tarry until we come to you; then we will stand still in our place, and will not go up unto them.

εαν ειπωσι προς ημας ουτω, Σταθητε εως να ελθωμεν προς εσας τοτε θελομεν σταθη εν τω τοπω ημων και δεν θελομεν αναβη προς αυτους

But if they say thus, Come up unto us; then we will go up: for the LORD hath delivered them into our hand: and this shall be a sign unto us.

αλλ εαν ειπωσιν ουτως, Αναβητε προς ημας τοτε θελομεν αναβη διοτι ο Κυριος παρεδωκεν αυτους εις την χειρα ημων και τουτο θελει εισθαι εις ημας το σημειον.

And both of them discovered themselves unto the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of the holes where they had hid themselves.

Εδειχθησαν λοιπον αμφοτεροι εις την φρουραν των Φιλισταιων και οι Φιλισταιοι ειπον, Ιδου, οι Εβραιοι εξερχονται εκ των τρυπων, οπου ειχον κρυφθη.

And the men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armourbearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will shew you a thing. And Jonathan said unto his armourbearer, Come up after me: for the LORD hath delivered them into the hand of Israel.

Και ελαλησαν οι ανδρες της φρουρας προς τον Ιωναθαν και προς τον βασταζοντα τα οπλα αυτου, και ειπον, Αναβητε προς ημας, και θελομεν σας φανερωσει τι. Και ειπεν ο Ιωναθαν προς τον οπλοφορον αυτου, Αναβα κατοπιν μου διοτι παρεδωκεν αυτους ο Κυριος εις την χειρα του Ισραηλ.

And Jonathan climbed up upon his hands and upon his feet, and his armourbearer after him: and they fell before Jonathan; and his armourbearer slew after him.

Και ανερπυσεν ο Ιωναθαν με τας χειρας αυτου και με τους ποδας αυτου, και ο βασταζων τα οπλα αυτου κατοπιν αυτου και επεσον εμπροσθεν του Ιωναθαν και ο βασταζων τα οπλα αυτου εθανατονεν αυτους κατοπιν αυτου.

And that first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armourbearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were an half acre of land, which a yoke of oxen might plow.

Αυτη δε η πρωτη σφαγη, την οποιαν εκαμον ο Ιωναθαν και ο οπλοφορος αυτου, ητο περιπου εικοσι ανδρες, εις διαστημα γης ημισεως στρεμματος.

And there was trembling in the host, in the field, and among all the people: the garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled, and the earth quaked: so it was a very great trembling.

Και εγεινε τρομος εν τω στρατοπεδω, εν τοις αγροις και εν παντι τω λαω η φρουρα και οι λεηλατουντες, και αυτοι κατετρομαξαν, και η γη συνεταραχθη ωστε ητο ως τρομος Θεου.

And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and, behold, the multitude melted away, and they went on beating down one another.

Και ειδον οι φρουροι του Σαουλ εν Γαβαα του Βενιαμιν, και ιδου, το πληθος διελυετο και βαθμηδον διεσκορπιζετο.

Then said Saul unto the people that were with him, Number now, and see who is gone from us. And when they had numbered, behold, Jonathan and his armourbearer were not there.

Τοτε ειπεν ο Σαουλ προς τον λαον τον μετ αυτου, Απαριθμησατε τωρα και ιδετε τις ανεχωρησεν εξ ημων. Και οτε απηριθμησαν, ιδου, ο Ιωναθαν και ο οπλοφορος αυτου δεν ησαν.

And Saul said unto Ahiah, Bring hither the ark of God. For the ark of God was at that time with the children of Israel.

Και ειπεν ο Σαουλ προς τον Αχια, Φερε εδω την κιβωτον του Θεου. Διοτι η κιβωτος του Θεου ητο τοτε μετα των υιων Ισραηλ.

And it came to pass, while Saul talked unto the priest, that the noise that was in the host of the Philistines went on and increased: and Saul said unto the priest, Withdraw thine hand.

Και ενω ελαλει ο Σαουλ προς τον ιερεα, ο θορυβος εν τω στρατοπεδω των Φιλισταιων επροχωρει επι το μαλλον και επληθυνετο ο δε Σαουλ ειπε προς τον ιερεα, Συρε οπισω την χειρα σου.

And Saul and all the people that were with him assembled themselves, and they came to the battle: and, behold, every man's sword was against his fellow, and there was a very great discomfiture.

Και συνηθροισθησαν ο Σαουλ και πας ο λαος ο μετ αυτου και ηλθον εως εις την μαχην και ιδου, παντος ανδρος η �ομφαια ητο εναντιον του συντροφου αυτου, σφαγη μεγαλη σφοδρα.

Moreover the Hebrews that were with the Philistines before that time, which went up with them into the camp from the country round about, even they also turned to be with the Israelites that were with Saul and Jonathan.

οι δε Εβραιοι οι μετα των Φιλισταιων οντες ως αλλοτε, οιτινες ειχον αναβη μετ αυτων εις το στρατοπεδον εκ των περιξ, και αυτοι ετι ηνωθησαν μετα των Ισραηλιτων, οιτινες ησαν μετα του Σαουλ και Ιωναθαν.

Likewise all the men of Israel which had hid themselves in mount Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed hard after them in the battle.

Και παντες οι ανδρες του Ισραηλ οι κρυπτομενοι εν τω ορει Εφραιμ, ακουσαντες οτι οι Φιλισταιοι εφευγον, εδραμον και αυτοι κατοπιν αυτων εις πολεμον.

So the LORD saved Israel that day: and the battle passed over unto Beth–aven.

Και εσωσεν ο Κυριος τον Ισραηλ εν τη ημερα εκεινη και η μαχη επερασεν εις Βαιθ−αυεν.

And the men of Israel were distressed that day: for Saul had adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any food until evening, that I may be avenged on mine enemies. So none of the people tasted any food.

Οι δε ανδρες του Ισραηλ απεκαμον την ημεραν εκεινην διοτι ο Σαουλ ειχεν ορκισει τον λαον, λεγων, Επικαταρατος ο ανθρωπος, οστις φαγη τροφην εως εσπερας, και εκδικηθω απο των εχθρων μου. Οθεν δεν εγευθη τροφην πας ο λαος.

And all they of the land came to a wood; and there was honey upon the ground.

Και παν το πληθος ηλθεν εις δασος, οπου ητο μελι κατα γης.

And when the people were come into the wood, behold, the honey dropped; but no man put his hand to his mouth: for the people feared the oath.

Και οτε εισηλθεν ο λαος εις το δασος, ιδου, το μελι εσταλαξεν ουδεις ομως επλησιασε την χειρα αυτου εις το στομα αυτου διοτι εφοβηθη ο λαος τον ορκον.

But Jonathan heard not when his father charged the people with the oath: wherefore he put forth the end of the rod that was in his hand, and dipped it in an honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes were enlightened.

Ο Ιωναθαν ομως δεν ειχεν ακουσει, οτε ο πατηρ αυτου ωρκισε τον λαον οθεν ηπλωσε το ακρον της �αβδου της εν τη χειρι αυτου και εβυθισεν αυτο εις κηρηθραν και εβαλε την χειρα αυτου εις το στομα αυτου, και ανεβλεψαν οι οφθαλμοι αυτου.

Then answered one of the people, and said, Thy father straitly charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any food this day. And the people were faint.

Απεκριθη δε εις εκ του λαου και ειπεν, Ο πατηρ σου ωρκισε δι ορκου τον λαον, λεγων, Επικαταρατος ο ανθρωπος, οστις φαγη τροφην σημερον δια τουτο ο λαος ειναι εκλελυμενος.

Then said Jonathan, My father hath troubled the land: see, I pray you, how mine eyes have been enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey.

Ο δε Ιωναθαν ειπεν, Εταραξεν ο πατηρ μου τον κοσμον ιδετε, παρακαλω, ποσον ανεβλεψαν οι οφθαλμοι μου, διοτι εγευθην ολιγον εκ τουτου του μελιτος

How much more, if haply the people had eaten freely to day of the spoil of their enemies which they found? for had there not been now a much greater slaughter among the Philistines?

ποσω μαλλον, εαν ο λαος ηθελε φαγει την σημερον ελευθερως εκ των λαφυρων των εχθρων αυτου, τα οποια ευρηκε; διοτι δεν ηθελε γεινει τωρα πολυ μεγαλητερα σφαγη μεταξυ των Φιλισταιων;

And they smote the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon: and the people were very faint.

Επαταξαν δε εν εκεινη τη ημερα τους Φιλισταιους απο Μιχμας εως Αιαλων και ο λαος ητο εκλελυμενος σφοδρα.

And the people flew upon the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slew them on the ground: and the people did eat them with the blood.

Οθεν ερριφθη ο λαος εις τα λαφυρα, και ελαβε προβατα και βοας και μοσχους και εσφαξαν κατα γης και ετρωγεν ο λαος μετα του αιματος.

Then they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin against the LORD, in that they eat with the blood. And he said, Ye have transgressed: roll a great stone unto me this day.

Ανηγγειλαν δε προς τον Σαουλ, λεγοντες, Ιδου, ο λαος αμαρτανει εις τον Κυριον, διοτι τρωγουσι μετα του αιματος. Και ειπε, Παραβαται εσταθητε κυλισατε προς εμε σημερον λιθον μεγαν.

And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and say unto them, Bring me hither every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and slay them here, and eat; and sin not against the LORD in eating with the blood. And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and slew them there.

Και ειπεν ο Σαουλ, Διασπαρθητε μεταξυ του λαου και ειπατε προς αυτους, Φερετε μοι ενταυθα εκαστος τον βουν αυτου και εκαστος το προβατον αυτου, και σφαξατε ενταυθα και φαγετε και μη αμαρτανετε εις τον Κυριον, τρωγοντες μετα του αιματος. Και εφεραν πας ο λαος εκαστος τον βουν αυτου μεθ εαυτου εκεινην την νυκτα και εσφαξαν εκει.

And Saul built an altar unto the LORD: the same was the first altar that he built unto the LORD.

Και ωκοδομησεν ο Σαουλ θυσιαστηριον εις τον Κυριον τουτο ητο το πρωτον θυσιαστηριον, το οποιον ωκοδομησεν ο Σαουλ εις τον Κυριον.

And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and spoil them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they said, Do whatsoever seemeth good unto thee. Then said the priest, Let us draw near hither unto God.

Και ειπεν ο Σαουλ, Ας καταβωμεν εξοπισω των Φιλισταιων δια νυκτος, και ας διαρπασωμεν αυτους εως να φεγξη η ημερα, και ας μη αφησωμεν μηδε ενα εξ αυτων. Και ειπον, Καμε παν ο, τι σοι φαινεται καλον. Τοτε ειπεν ο ιερευς, Ας προσελθωμεν ενταυθα εις τον Θεον.

And Saul asked counsel of God, Shall I go down after the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into the hand of Israel? But he answered him not that day.

Και ηρωτησεν ο Σαουλ τον Θεον, Να καταβω εξοπισω των Φιλισταιων; θελεις παραδωσει αυτους εις την χειρα του Ισραηλ; Αλλα δεν απεκριθη προς αυτον την ημεραν εκεινην.

And Saul said, Draw ye near hither, all the chief of the people: and know and see wherein this sin hath been this day.

Και ειπεν ο Σαουλ, Πλησιασατε ενταυθα παντες οι αρχηγοι του λαου και μαθετε και ιδετε, εις ποιον εσταθη η αμαρτια αυτη σημερον

For, as the LORD liveth, which saveth Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. But there was not a man among all the people that answered him.

διοτι ζη Κυριος, ο σωσας τον Ισραηλ, οτι και εις τον Ιωναθαν τον υιον μου αν εσταθη, θελει βεβαιως θανατωθη. Και δεν ευρεθη ουδεις μεταξυ παντος του λαου, οστις απεκριθη προς αυτον.

Then said he unto all Israel, Be ye on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said unto Saul, Do what seemeth good unto thee.

Και ειπε προς παντα τον Ισραηλ, Σταθητε σεις εκ του ενος μερους, εγω δε και Ιωναθαν ο υιος μου θελομεν σταθη εκ του αλλου μερους. Και ειπεν ο λαος προς τον Σαουλ, Καμε παν ο, τι σοι φαινεται καλον.

Therefore Saul said unto the LORD God of Israel, Give a perfect lot. And Saul and Jonathan were taken: but the people escaped.

Τοτε ειπεν ο Σαουλ προς τον Κυριον τον Θεον του Ισραηλ, Δειξον τον αθωον. Και επιασθη ο Ιωναθαν και ο Σαουλ ο δε λαος απελυθη.

And Saul said, Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken.

Και ειπεν ο Σαουλ, Ριψατε κληρους μεταξυ εμου και Ιωναθαν του υιου μου. Και επιασθη ο Ιωναθαν.

Then Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him, and said, I did but taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in mine hand, and, lo, I must die.

Τοτε ειπεν ο Σαουλ προς τον Ιωναθαν, Φανερωσον μοι τι επραξας. Και εφανερωσε προς αυτον ο Ιωναθαν, και ειπε, Τωοντι εγευθην ολιγον μελι δια του ακρου της �αβδου της εν τη χειρι μου ιδου, εγω, αποθνησκω.

And Saul answered, God do so and more also: for thou shalt surely die, Jonathan.

Και απεκριθη ο Σαουλ, Ουτω να καμη ο Θεος και ουτω να προσθεση βεβαιως θελεις αποθανει, Ιωναθαν.

And the people said unto Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? God forbid: as the LORD liveth, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground; for he hath wrought with God this day. So the people rescued Jonathan, that he died not.

Ο δε λαος ειπε προς τον Σαουλ, Ο Ιωναθαν θελει αποθανει, οστις εκαμε την μεγαλην ταυτην σωτηριαν εις τον Ισραηλ; Μη γενοιτο Ζη Κυριος, ουδε μια θριξ εκ της κεφαλης αυτου θελει πεσει εις την γην διοτι ενηργησε μετα του Θεου την ημεραν ταυτην. Και ελυτρωσεν ο λαος τον Ιωναθαν, και δεν απεθανε.

Then Saul went up from following the Philistines: and the Philistines went to their own place.

Τοτε ανεβη ο Σαουλ εκ της καταδιωξεως των Φιλισταιων και οι Φιλισταιοι υπηγαν εις τον τοπον αυτων.

So Saul took the kingdom over Israel, and fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines: and whithersoever he turned himself, he vexed them.

Και ελαβεν ο Σαουλ την βασιλειαν επι τον Ισραηλ, και επολεμησεν εναντιον παντων των εχθρων αυτου κυκλω εναντιον του Μωαβ και εναντιον των υιων του Αμμων και εναντιον του Εδωμ και εναντιον των βασιλεων της Σωβα και εναντιον των Φιλισταιων και εναντιον παντων οπου και αν εστρεφετο, κατετροπονε.

And he gathered an host, and smote the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of them that spoiled them.

Συνεκροτησεν ετι δυναμιν και επαταξε τον Αμαληκ, και ηλευθερωσε τον Ισραηλ εκ χειρος των διαρπαζοντων αυτους.

Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishui, and Melchi–shua: and the names of his two daughters were these; the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal:

Οι δε υιοι του Σαουλ ησαν Ιωναθαν και Ισονει και Μελχι−σουε και τα ονοματα των δυο θυγατερων αυτου, το ονομα της πρωτοτοκου Μεραβ, και το ονομα της νεωτερας Μιχαλ

And the name of Saul's wife was Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz: and the name of the captain of his host was Abner, the son of Ner, Saul's uncle.

το δε ονομα της γυναικος του Σαουλ ητο Αχινοαμ, θυγατηρ του Αχιμαας. Και το ονομα του αρχιστρατηγου αυτου Αβενηρ, υιος του Νηρ, θειου του Σαουλ.

And Kish was the father of Saul; and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel.

Ο δε Κεις ο πατηρ του Σαουλ, και ο Νηρ ο πατηρ του Αβενηρ, ησαν υιοι του Αβιηλ.

And there was sore war against the Philistines all the days of Saul: and when Saul saw any strong man, or any valiant man, he took him unto him.

Ητο δε πολεμος δυνατος εναντιον των Φιλισταιων κατα πασας τας ημερας του Σαουλ και οποτε εβλεπεν ο Σαουλ ανδρα τινα δυνατον η ανδρειον, παρελαμβανεν αυτον πλησιον εαυτου.
