1And Samuel died; and all the Israelites were gathered together, and lamented him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Paran.
1[] Απεθανε δε ο Σαμουηλ· και συνηχθησαν πας ο Ισραηλ και εκλαυσαν αυτον, και ενεταφιασαν αυτον εν τω οικω αυτου εν Ραμα. Και εσηκωθη ο Δαβιδ και κατεβη εις την ερημον Φαραν.
2And there was a man in Maon, whose possessions were in Carmel; and the man was very great, and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.
2[] Ητο δε ανθρωπος τις εν Μαων, του οποιου τα κτηματα ησαν εν τω Καρμηλω, και ο ανθρωπος ητο μεγας σφοδρα και ειχε τρισχιλια προβατα και χιλιας αιγας· και εκουρευε τα προβατα αυτου εν τω Καρμηλω.
3Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail: and she was a woman of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance: but the man was churlish and evil in his doings; and he was of the house of Caleb.
3Το δε ονομα του ανθρωπου ητο Ναβαλ· και το ονομα της γυναικος αυτου Αβιγαια· και η μεν γυνη ητο καλη εις την συνεσιν και ωραια την οψιν· ο ανθρωπος ομως σκληρος, και κακος εις τας πραξεις αυτου· ητο δε εκ της γενεας του Χαλεβ.
4And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal did shear his sheep.
4Και ηκουσεν ο Δαβιδ εν τη ερημω, οτι ο Ναβαλ εκουρευε τα προβατα αυτου.
5And David sent out ten young men, and David said unto the young men, Get you up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name:
5Και απεστειλεν ο Δαβιδ δεκα νεους, και ειπεν ο Δαβιδ προς τους νεους, Αναβητε εις τον Καρμηλον και υπαγετε προς τον Ναβαλ και χαιρετησατε αυτον εξ ονοματος μου.
6And thus shall ye say to him that liveth in prosperity, Peace be both to thee, and peace be to thine house, and peace be unto all that thou hast.
6και θελετε ειπει, Να ησαι πολυχρονιος· ειρηνη και εις σε, ειρηνη και εις τον οικον σου, ειρηνη και εις παντα οσα εχεις·
7And now I have heard that thou hast shearers: now thy shepherds which were with us, we hurt them not, neither was there ought missing unto them, all the while they were in Carmel.
7και τωρα ηκουσα οτι εχεις κουρευτας· ιδου, τους ποιμενας σου, οιτινες ησαν μεθ' ημων, δεν εβλαψαμεν αυτους, ουδε εχαθη τι εις αυτους, καθ' ολον τον καιρον καθ' ον ησαν εν τω Καρμηλω·
8Ask thy young men, and they will show thee. Wherefore let the young men find favor in thine eyes: for we come in a good day: give, I pray thee, whatsoever cometh to thine hand unto thy servants, and to thy son David.
8ερωτησον τους νεους σου, και θελουσι σοι ειπει· ας ευρωσι λοιπον οι νεοι ουτοι χαριν εις τους οφθαλμους σου· διοτι εις ημεραν καλην ηλθομεν· δος, παρακαλουμεν, ο, τι ελθη εις την χειρα σου προς τους δουλους σου και προς τον υιον σου τον Δαβιδ.
9And when David's young men came, they spake to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased.
9Και ελθοντες οι νεοι του Δαβιδ ελαλησαν προς τον Ναβαλ κατα παντας τους λογους τουτους εν ονοματι του Δαβιδ, και επαυσαν.
10And Nabal answered David's servants, and said, Who is David? and who is the son of Jesse? there be many servants now a days that break away every man from his master.
10Αλλ' ο Ναβαλ απεκριθη προς τους δουλους του Δαβιδ και ειπε, Τις ειναι ο Δαβιδ; και τις ο υιος του Ιεσσαι; πολλοι ειναι την σημερον οι δουλοι, οιτινες αποσκιρτωσιν εκαστος απο του κυριου αυτου·
11Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give it unto men, whom I know not whence they be?
11θελω λαβει λοιπον τον αρτον μου και το υδωρ μου και το σφακτον μου, το οποιον εσφαξα δια τους κουρευτας μου, και δωσει εις ανθρωπους τους οποιους δεν γνωριζω ποθεν ειναι;
12So David's young men turned their way, and went again, and came and told him all those sayings.
12[] Και εστραφησαν οι νεοι του Δαβιδ εις την οδον αυτων και ανεχωρησαν και ελθοντες απηγγειλαν προς αυτον παντας τους λογους τουτους.
13And David said unto his men, Gird ye on every man his sword. And they girded on every man his sword; and David also girded on his sword: and there went up after David about four hundred men; and two hundred abode by the stuff.
13Και ειπεν ο Δαβιδ προς τους ανδρας αυτου, Ζωσθητε εκαστος την ρομφαιαν αυτου. Και εζωσθησαν εκαστος την ρομφαιαν αυτου· και ο Δαβιδ ομοιως εζωσθη την ρομφαιαν αυτου· και ανεβησαν κατοπιν του Δαβιδ εως τετρακοσιοι ανδρες· διακοσιοι δε εμειναν πλησιον της αποσκευης.
14But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our master; and he railed on them.
14Εις δε εκ των νεων απηγγειλε προς την Αβιγαιαν, την γυναικα του Ναβαλ, λεγων, Ιδου, ο Δαβιδ απεστειλε μηνυτας εκ της ερημου δια να χαιρετηση τον κυριον ημων, και εκεινος απεδιωξεν αυτους·
15But the men were very good unto us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we any thing, as long as we were conversant with them, when we were in the fields:
15οι ανδρες ομως εσταθησαν πολυ καλοι προς ημας και δεν εβλαφθημεν ουδε εχασαμεν ουδεν, οσον καιρον συνανεστραφημεν μετ' αυτων, οτε ημεθα εν τοις αγροις·
16They were a wall unto us both by night and day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.
16ησαν ως τειχος περιξ ημων και νυκτα και ημεραν, καθ' ολον τον καιρον καθ' ον ημεθα μετ' αυτων βοσκοντες τα προβατα·
17Now therefore know and consider what thou wilt do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his household: for he is such a son of Belial, that a man cannot speak to him.
17τωρα λοιπον, γνωρισον και ιδε τι θελεις καμει συ· διοτι κακον απεφασισθη κατα του κυριου ημων, και κατα παντος του οικου αυτου· επειδη ειναι ανθρωπος δυστροπος, ωστε ουδεις δυναται να ομιληση προς αυτον.
18Then Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched corn, and an hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on asses.
18[] Τοτε εσπευσεν η Αβιγαια, και ελαβε διακοσιους αρτους, και δυο αγγεια οινου, και πεντε προβατα ητοιμασμενα, και πεντε μετρα σιτου πεφρυγανισμενου, και εκατον δεσμας σταφιδος, και διακοσιας πηττας συκων, και εθεσεν αυτα επι ονων.
19And she said unto her servants, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she told not her husband Nabal.
19Και ειπε προς τους νεους αυτης, Προπορευεσθε εμπροσθεν μου· ιδου, εγω ερχομαι κατοπιν σας· προς τον Ναβαλ ομως τον ανδρα αυτης δεν εφανερωσε τουτο.
20And it was so, as she rode on the ass, that she came down by the covert on the hill, and, behold, David and his men came down against her; and she met them.
20Και καθως αυτη, καθημενη επι του ονου, κατεβαινεν υπο την σκεπην του ορους, ιδου, ο Δαβιδ και οι ανδρες αυτου κατεβαινον προς αυτην· και συνηντησεν αυτους.
21Now David had said, Surely in vain have I kept all that this fellow hath in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained unto him: and he hath requited me evil for good.
21ειχε δε ειπει ο Δαβιδ, Ματαιως τωοντι εφυλαξα παντα οσα ειχεν ουτος εν τη ερημω, και δεν εχαθη ουδεν εκ παντων των κτηματων αυτου· και ανταπεδωκεν εις εμε κακον αντι καλου·
22So and more also do God unto the enemies of David, if I leave of all that pertain to him by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.
22ουτω να καμη ο Θεος εις τους εχθρους του Δαβιδ και ουτω να προσθεση, εαν εως το πρωι αφησω εκ παντων των πραγματων αυτου ουρουντα εις τοιχον.
23And when Abigail saw David, she hasted, and lighted off the ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground,
23Και καθως ειδεν η Αβιγαια τον Δαβιδ, εσπευσε και κατεβη απο του ονου και επεσεν ενωπιον του Δαβιδ κατα προσωπον και προσεκυνησεν εως εδαφους.
24And fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, upon me let this iniquity be: and let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine audience, and hear the words of thine handmaid.
24Και προσεπεσεν εις τους ποδας αυτου και ειπεν, Επ' εμε, επ' εμε, κυριε μου, ας ηναι αυτη η αδικια· και ας λαληση, παρακαλω, η δουλη σου εις τα ωτα σου, και ακουσον τους λογους της δουλης σου.
25Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this man of Belial, even Nabal: for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him: but I thine handmaid saw not the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send.
25Ας μη δωση ο κυριος μου, παρακαλω, ουδεμιαν προσοχην εις τουτον τον δυστροπον ανθρωπον, τον Ναβαλ· διοτι κατα το ονομα αυτου, τοιουτος ειναι· Ναβαλ το ονομα αυτου, και αφροσυνη μετ' αυτου· εγω δε η δουλη σου δεν ειδον τους νεους του κυριου μου, τους οποιους απεστειλας.
26Now therefore, my lord, as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, seeing the LORD hath withholden thee from coming to shed blood, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now let thine enemies, and they that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.
26Τωρα λοιπον, κυριε μου, ζη Κυριος και ζη η ψυχη σου, ο Κυριος βεβαιως σε εκρατησεν απο του να εμβης εις αιμα και να εκδικηθης δια της χειρος σου· τωρα δε οι εχθροι σου και οι ζητουντες κακον εις τον κυριον μου, ας ηναι ως ο Ναβαλ.
27And now this blessing which thine handmaid hath brought unto my lord, let it even be given unto the young men that follow my lord.
27Και τωρα αυτη η προσφορα, την οποιαν η δουλη σου εφερε προς τον κυριον μου, ας δοθη εις τους νεους τους ακολουθουντας τον κυριον μου.
28I pray thee, forgive the trespass of thine handmaid: for the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house; because my lord fighteth the battles of the LORD, and evil hath not been found in thee all thy days.
28Συγχωρησον, παρακαλω, το αμαρτημα της δουλης σου· διοτι ο Κυριος θελει βεβαιως καμει εις τον κυριον μου οικον ασφαλη, επειδη μαχεται ο κυριος μου τας μαχας του Κυριου, και κακια δεν ευρεθη εν σοι πωποτε.
29Yet a man is risen to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul: but the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with the LORD thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling out, as out of the middle of a sling.
29Αν και εσηκωθη ανθρωπος καταδιωκων σε και ζητων την ψυχην σου, η ψυχη ομως του κυριου μου θελει εισθαι δεδεμενη εις τον δεσμον της ζωης πλησιον Κυριου του Θεου σου· τας δε ψυχας των εχθρων σου, ταυτας θελει εκσφενδονισει εκ μεσου της σφενδονης.
30And it shall come to pass, when the LORD shall have done to my lord according to all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have appointed thee ruler over Israel;
30Και οταν καμη ο Κυριος εις τον κυριον μου κατα παντα τα αγαθα τα οποια ελαλησε περι σου, και σε καταστηση κυβερνητην επι τον Ισραηλ,
31That this shall be no grief unto thee, nor offense of heart unto my lord, either that thou hast shed blood causeless, or that my lord hath avenged himself: but when the LORD shall have dealt well with my lord, then remember thine handmaid.
31δεν θελει εισθαι τουτο σκανδαλον εις σε ουδε προσκομμα καρδιας εις τον κυριον μου, η οτι εχυσας αιμα αναιτιον, η οτι ο κυριος μου εξεδικησεν αυτος εαυτον· πλην οταν ο Κυριος αγαθοποιηση τον κυριον μου, τοτε ενθυμηθητι την δουλην σου.
32And David said to Abigail, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which sent thee this day to meet me:
32[] Και ειπεν ο Δαβιδ προς την Αβιγαιαν, Ευλογητος Κυριος ο Θεος του Ισραηλ, οστις σε απεστειλε την ημεραν ταυτην εις συναντησιν μου·
33And blessed be thy advice, and blessed be thou, which hast kept me this day from coming to shed blood, and from avenging myself with mine own hand.
33και ευλογημενη η βουλη σου και ευλογημενη συ, ητις με εφυλαξας την ημεραν ταυτην απο του να εμβω εις αιματα και να εκδικηθω δια της χειρος μου·
34For in very deed, as the LORD God of Israel liveth, which hath kept me back from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.
34διοτι αληθως, ζη Κυριος ο Θεος του Ισραηλ, οστις με εμποδισεν απο του να σε κακοποιησω, εαν δεν ηθελες σπευσει να ελθης εις συναντησιν μου, δεν ηθελε μεινει εις τον Ναβαλ εως της αυγης ουρων εις τοιχον.
35So David received of her hand that which she had brought him, and said unto her, Go up in peace to thine house; see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy person.
35Και ελαβεν ο Δαβιδ εκ της χειρος αυτης τα οσα εφερε προς αυτον· και ειπε προς αυτην, Αναβα προς τον οικον σου εν ειρηνη· βλεπε, εισηκουσα της φωνης σου και ετιμησα το προσωπον σου.
36And Abigail came to Nabal; and, behold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was very drunken: wherefore she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.
36[] Και ηλθεν η Αβιγαια προς τον Ναβαλ· και ιδου, ειχε συμποσιον εν τω οικω αυτου, ως συμποσιον βασιλεως· και η καρδια του Ναβαλ ητο ευθυμος εν αυτω, και ητο εις ακρον μεθυσμενος· οθεν δεν απηγγειλε προς αυτον ουδεν, μικρον μεγα, εως της αυγης.
37But it came to pass in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, and his wife had told him these things, that his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.
37Το πρωι ομως, αφου ο Ναβαλ εξεμεθυσεν, εφανερωσε προς αυτον η γυνη αυτου τα πραγματα ταυτα· και ενεκρωθη η καρδια αυτου εντος αυτου και εγεινεν ως λιθος.
38And it came to pass about ten days after, that the LORD smote Nabal, that he died.
38Και μετα δεκα ημερας περιπου επαταξεν ο Κυριος τον Ναβαλ, και απεθανε.
39And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be the LORD, that hath pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and hath kept his servant from evil: for the LORD hath returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his own head. And David sent and communed with Abigail, to take her to him to wife.
39Και οτε ηκουσεν ο Δαβιδ οτι απεθανεν ο Ναβαλ, ειπεν, Ευλογητος Κυριος, οστις εκρινε την κρισιν μο περι του ονειδισμου μου του γενομενου παρα του Ναβαλ, και ημποδισε τον δουλον αυτου απο κακου· και την κακιαν του Ναβαλ εστρεψεν ο Κυριος κατα της κεφαλης αυτου. Και απεστειλεν ο Δαβιδ και ελαλησε προς την Αβιγαιαν, δια να λαβη αυτην γυναικα εις εαυτον.
40And when the servants of David were come to Abigail to Carmel, they spake unto her, saying, David sent us unto thee, to take thee to him to wife.
40Και ελθοντες οι δουλοι του Δαβιδ προς την Αβιγαιαν εις τον Καρμηλον, ελαλησαν προς αυτην, λεγοντες, Ο Δαβιδ απεστειλεν ημας προς σε, δια να σε λαβη γυναικα εις εαυτον.
41And she arose, and bowed herself on her face to the earth, and said, Behold, let thine handmaid be a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.
41Και εσηκωθη και προσεκυνησε κατα προσωπον εως εδαφους και ειπεν, Ιδου, ας ηναι η δουλη σου θεραπαινα δια να πλυνη τους ποδας των δουλων του κυριου μου.
42And Abigail hasted, and arose and rode upon an ass, with five damsels of hers that went after her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.
42Και εσπευσεν η Αβιγαια και εσηκωθη και ανεβη επι του ονου, μετα πεντε κορασιων αυτης ακολουθουντων οπισω αυτης· και υπηγε κατοπιν των απεσταλμενων του Δαβιδ και εγεινε γυνη αυτου.
43David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they were also both of them his wives.
43Ελαβεν ο Δαβιδ και την Αχινοαμ απο Ιεζραελ· και ησαν αμφοτεραι γυναικες αυτου.
44But Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Phalti the son of Laish, which was of Gallim.
44Ο δε Σαουλ ειχε δωσει Μιχαλ, την θυγατερα αυτου, την γυναικα του Δαβιδ, εις τον Φαλτι τον υιον του Λαεις, τον απο Γαλλειμ.
