1Now it came to pass one day that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man that bore his armour, Come and let us go over to the Philistines' garrison which is on the other side. But he did not tell his father.
1[] 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.
2And Saul abode at the extreme end of Gibeah under the pomegranate-tree which [was] in Migron; and the people that were with him were about six hundred men.
2Ο δε Σαουλ εκαθητο επι του ακρου του Γαβαα, υπο την ροδιαν την εν Μιγρων· και ο λαος ο μετ' αυτου ητο εως εξακοσιοι ανδρες·
3(And Ahijah the son of Ahitub, Ichabod's brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, Jehovah's priest in Shiloh, wore the ephod.) And the people did not know that Jonathan was gone.
3και 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.
4Now between the passes by which Jonathan sought to go over to 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.
4Μεταξυ 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.
5The one crag [formed] a pillar on the north opposite to Michmash, and the other on the south opposite to Geba.
5Το μετωπον του ενος βραχου ητο προς βορραν απεναντι Μιχμας, και το του αλλου προς νοτον απεναντι Γαβαα.
6And Jonathan said to the young man that bore his armour, Come, and let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised: perhaps Jehovah will work for us; for there is no restraint to Jehovah to save by many or by few.
6Και 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.
7And his armour-bearer said to him, Do all that is in thy heart; turn thee; behold, I am with thee according to thy heart.
7Και ειπε προς αυτον ο οπλοφορος αυτου, Καμε ο, τι ειναι εν τη καρδια σου· προχωρει· ιδου, εγω ειμαι μετα σου κατα την καρδιαν σου.
8Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass over to the men, and we will shew ourselves to them.
8Τοτε ειπεν ο Ιωναθαν, Ιδου, ημεις θελομεν περασει προς τους ανδρας και θελομεν δειχθη εις αυτους·
9If they say thus to us, Stand still until we come to you, then we will stay in our place, and will not go up to them.
9εαν ειπωσι προς ημας ουτω, Σταθητε εως να ελθωμεν προς εσας· τοτε θελομεν σταθη εν τω τοπω ημων και δεν θελομεν αναβη προς αυτους·
10And if they say thus, Come up to us, then we will go up; for Jehovah has given them into our hand; and this shall be the sign to us.
10αλλ' 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.
11And both of them shewed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines; and the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of the holes where they had hid themselves.
11Εδειχθησαν λοιπον αμφοτεροι εις την φρουραν των Φιλισταιων· και οι Φιλισταιοι ειπον, Ιδου, οι Εβραιοι εξερχονται εκ των τρυπων, οπου ειχον κρυφθη.
12And the men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armour-bearer and said, Come up to us, and we will shew you something. And Jonathan said to his armour-bearer, Come up after me; for Jehovah has delivered them into the hand of Israel.
12Και 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.
13And Jonathan climbed up upon his hands and upon his feet, and his armour-bearer after him; and they fell before Jonathan; and his armour-bearer slew after him.
13Και 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.
14And that first slaughter which Jonathan and his armour-bearer wrought was about twenty men, as it were on the half-furrow of an acre of land.
14Αυτη δε η πρωτη σφαγη, την οποιαν εκαμον ο Ιωναθαν και ο οπλοφορος αυτου, ητο περιπου εικοσι ανδρες, εις διαστημα γης ημισεως στρεμματος.
15And there was trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people; the garrison, and the ravagers, they also trembled, and the earth quaked; for it was a trembling [from] God.
15Και 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.
16And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked, and behold, the multitude melted away, and they went on slaying one another.
16[] Και ειδον οι φρουροι του Σαουλ εν Γαβαα του Βενιαμιν, και ιδου, το πληθος διελυετο και βαθμηδον διεσκορπιζετο.
17Then said Saul to the people that were with him, Muster now, and see who is gone from us. And they mustered, and behold, Jonathan and his armour-bearer were not there.
17Τοτε 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.
18And Saul said to Ahijah, Bring hither the ark of God. For the ark of God was at that time with the children of Israel.
18Και ειπεν ο Σαουλ προς τον Αχια, Φερε εδω την κιβωτον του Θεου. Διοτι η κιβωτος του Θεου ητο τοτε μετα των υιων Ισραηλ.
19And it came to pass while Saul talked to the priest, that the noise which was in the camp of the Philistines went on and increased; and Saul said to the priest, Withdraw thy hand.
19Και 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.
20And Saul and all the people that were with him were called together, and they came to the battle; and behold, every man's sword was against his fellow, a very great confusion.
20Και συνηθροισθησαν ο Σαουλ και πας ο λαος ο μετ' αυτου και ηλθον εως εις την μαχην· και ιδου, παντος ανδρος η ρομφαια ητο εναντιον του συντροφου αυτου, σφαγη μεγαλη σφοδρα.
21And there were Hebrews with the Philistines before that time, who had gone up with them into the camp round about; and they also [turned] to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.
21οι 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.
22And all the men of Israel who had hid themselves in mount Ephraim heard that the Philistines fled, and they also followed hard after them in the battle.
22Και παντες οι ανδρες του Ισραηλ οι κρυπτομενοι εν τω ορει Εφραιμ, ακουσαντες οτι οι Φιλισταιοι εφευγον, εδραμον και αυτοι κατοπιν αυτων εις πολεμον.
23And Jehovah saved Israel that day; and the battle passed over beyond Beth-Aven.
23Και εσωσεν ο Κυριος τον Ισραηλ εν τη ημερα εκεινη· και η μαχη επερασεν εις Βαιθ-αυεν.
24But the men of Israel were distressed that day. Now Saul had adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth food until evening, and [until] I am avenged on mine enemies. So none of the people tasted food.
24[] 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.
25And all they of the land came to a wood; and there was honey on the ground.
25Και παν το πληθος ηλθεν εις δασος, οπου ητο μελι κατα γης.
26And the people had come into the wood, and behold, the honey flowed; but no man put his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath.
26Και 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.
27But Jonathan had not heard when his father adjured the people; and he put forth the end of his staff which was in his hand, and dipped it in the honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth, and his eyes became bright.
27Ο Ιωναθαν ομως δεν ειχεν ακουσει, οτε ο πατηρ αυτου ωρκισε τον λαον· οθεν ηπλωσε το ακρον της ραβδου της εν τη χειρι αυτου και εβυθισεν αυτο εις κηρηθραν και εβαλε την χειρα αυτου εις το στομα αυτου, και ανεβλεψαν οι οφθαλμοι αυτου.
28Then answered one of the people and said, Thy father strictly adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth food this day; and the people are faint.
28Απεκριθη 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.
29And Jonathan said, My father has troubled the land: see, I pray you, that mine eyes are bright, because I tasted a little of this honey.
29Ο δε Ιωναθαν ειπεν, Εταραξεν ο πατηρ μου τον κοσμον· ιδετε, παρακαλω, ποσον ανεβλεψαν οι οφθαλμοι μου, διοτι εγευθην ολιγον εκ τουτου του μελιτος·
30How much more, if the people had eaten freely to-day of the spoil of their enemies which they found? for would there not now have been a much greater slaughter among the Philistines?
30ποσω 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;
31And they smote the Philistines that day from Michmash to Ajalon; and the people were very faint.
31Επαταξαν δε εν εκεινη τη ημερα τους Φιλισταιους απο Μιχμας εως Αιαλων· και ο λαος ητο εκλελυμενος σφοδρα.
32And the people fell on the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slaughtered them on the ground; and the people ate [them] with the blood.
32Οθεν ερριφθη ο λαος εις τα λαφυρα, και ελαβε προβατα και βοας και μοσχους και εσφαξαν κατα γης· και ετρωγεν ο λαος μετα του αιματος.
33And they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin against Jehovah, in that they eat with the blood. And he said, Ye have acted perversely: roll me now a great stone.
33Ανηγγειλαν 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.
34And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and say to them, Bring near to me every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and slaughter them here, and eat; and sin not against Jehovah in eating with the blood. And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and slaughtered [them] there.
34Και 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.
35And Saul built an altar to Jehovah: this was the first altar he built to Jehovah.
35Και ωκοδομησεν ο Σαουλ θυσιαστηριον εις τον Κυριον· τουτο ητο το πρωτον θυσιαστηριον, το οποιον ωκοδομησεν ο Σαουλ εις τον Κυριον.
36And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and plunder them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they said, Do whatsoever is good in thy sight. Then said the priest, Let us come near hither to God.
36[] 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.
37And Saul inquired of God, Shall I go down after the Philistines? wilt thou give them into the hand of Israel? But he did not answer him that day.
37Και 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.
38And Saul said, Draw ye near hither, all the heads of the people; and know and see wherein this sin has been this day.
38Και ειπεν ο Σαουλ, Πλησιασατε ενταυθα παντες οι αρχηγοι του λαου· και μαθετε και ιδετε, εις ποιον εσταθη η αμαρτια αυτη σημερον·
39For, [as] Jehovah liveth, who has saved Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall certainly die. And no one answered him among all the people.
39διοτι 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.
40Then said he to all Israel, Be ye on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said to Saul, Do what is good in thy sight.
40Και 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.
41And Saul said to Jehovah the God of Israel, Give a perfect [testimony]! And Jonathan and Saul were taken, and the people escaped.
41Τοτε ειπεν ο Σαουλ προς τον Κυριον τον Θεον του Ισραηλ, Δειξον τον αθωον. Και επιασθη ο Ιωναθαν και ο Σαουλ· ο δε λαος απελυθη.
42And Saul said, Cast [lots] between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken.
42Και ειπεν ο Σαουλ, Ριψατε κληρους μεταξυ εμου και Ιωναθαν του υιου μου. Και επιασθη ο Ιωναθαν.
43And Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him and said, With the end of the staff which is in my hand I tasted a little honey, [and] behold, I must die!
43Τοτε 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 ραβδου της εν τη χειρι μου· ιδου, εγω, αποθνησκω.
44And Saul said, God do so [to me] and more also; thou shalt certainly die, Jonathan.
44Και απεκριθη ο Σαουλ, Ουτω να καμη ο Θεος και ουτω να προσθεση· βεβαιως θελεις αποθανει, Ιωναθαν.
45And the people said to Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who has wrought this great salvation in Israel? Far be it! [as] Jehovah liveth, there shall not a hair of his head fall to the ground; for he has wrought with God this day. So the people delivered Jonathan, that he died not.
45Ο 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.
46And Saul went up from following the Philistines; and the Philistines went to their own place.
46Τοτε ανεβη ο Σαουλ εκ της καταδιωξεως των Φιλισταιων· και οι Φιλισταιοι υπηγαν εις τον τοπον αυτων.
47And Saul took the kingdom over Israel, and fought against all his enemies round about, 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 discomfited [them].
47[] 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.
48And he did valiantly, and smote the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of their spoilers.
48Συνεκροτησεν ετι δυναμιν και επαταξε τον Αμαληκ, και ηλευθερωσε τον Ισραηλ εκ χειρος των διαρπαζοντων αυτους.
49And the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Jishvi, and Malchi-shua. And the names of his two daughters: the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal.
49Οι 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·
50And 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.
50το δε ονομα της γυναικος του Σαουλ ητο Αχινοαμ, θυγατηρ του Αχιμαας. Και το ονομα του αρχιστρατηγου αυτου Αβενηρ, υιος του Νηρ, θειου του Σαουλ.
51And Kish the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner were sons of Abiel.
51Ο δε Κεις ο πατηρ του Σαουλ, και ο Νηρ ο πατηρ του Αβενηρ, ησαν υιοι του Αβιηλ.
52And there was sore war against the Philistines all the days of Saul; and when Saul saw any mighty man, or any valiant man, he took him to himself.
52Ητο 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.
