1And it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David had returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, that David abode two days in Ziklag.
1[] Μετα δε τον θανατον του Σαουλ, αφου επεστρεψεν ο Δαβιδ απο της σφαγης των Αμαληκιτων, εκαθησεν ο Δαβιδ εν Σικλαγ δυο ημερας·
2And it came to pass on the third day, that behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul with his garments rent, and earth upon his head; and as soon as he came to David, he fell to the earth and did obeisance.
2την δε τριτην ημεραν, ιδου, ηλθεν ανθρωπος εκ του στρατοπεδου απο πλησιον του Σαουλ, εχων διεσχισμενα τα ιματια αυτου και χωμα επι της κεφαλης αυτου· και καθως εισηλθε προς τον Δαβιδ, επεσεν εις την γην και προσεκυνησε.
3And David said to him, Whence comest thou? And he said to him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.
3Και ειπε προς αυτον ο Δαβιδ, Ποθεν ερχεσαι; Ο δε ειπε προς αυτον, Εγω εκ του στρατοπεδου του Ισραηλ διεσωθην.
4And David said to him, What has taken place? I pray thee, tell me. And he said that the people had fled from the battle, and many of the people also had fallen and died, and that Saul and Jonathan his son were dead also.
4Και ειπε προς αυτον ο Δαβιδ, Τι συνεβη; ειπε μοι, παρακαλω. Και απεκριθη, Οτι εφυγεν ο λαος εκ της μαχης, και πολλοι μαλιστα εκ του λαου επεσον και απεθανον· απεθανον δε και Σαουλ και Ιωναθαν ο υιος αυτου.
5And David said to the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?
5Και ειπεν ο Δαβιδ προς τον νεον τον απαγγελλοντα προς αυτον, Πως εξευρεις οτι απεθανεν ο Σαουλ, και Ιωναθαν ο υιος αυτου;
6And the young man that told him said, I happened by chance to be upon mount Gilboa, and behold, Saul leaned on his spear; and behold, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him.
6Και ειπεν ο νεος ο απαγγελλων προς αυτον, Ευρεθην κατα τυχην εν τω ορει Γελβουε, και ιδου, ο Σαουλ ητο κεκλιμενος επι του δορατος αυτου, και ιδου, αι αμαξαι και οι ιππεις κατεφθανον αυτον.
7And he looked behind him, and saw me, and called to me. And I said, Here am I.
7και οτε εβλεψεν εις τα οπισω αυτου, με ειδε και με εκαλεσε· και απεκριθην, Ιδου, εγω.
8And he said to me, Who art thou? And I said to him, I am an Amalekite.
8Και ειπε προς εμε, Ποιος εισαι; Και απεκριθην προς αυτον, Ειμαι Αμαληκιτης.
9He said to me again, Stand, I pray thee, over me, and slay me; for anguish has seized me; for my life is yet whole in me.
9Παλιν ειπε προς εμε, Στηθι επανω μου, παρακαλω, και θανατωσον με· διοτι σκοτοδινιασις με κατελαβεν, επειδη η ζωη μου ειναι ετι ολη εν εμοι.
10So I stood over him, and put him to death, for I knew that he would not live after his fall; and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them hither to my lord.
10Εσταθην λοιπον επ' αυτον και εθανατωσα αυτον· επειδη ημην βεβαιος οτι δεν ηδυνατο να ζηση αφου επεσε· και ελαβον το διαδημα το επι της κεφαλης αυτου και το βραχιολιον το εν τω βραχιονι αυτου, και εφερα αυτα ενταυθα προς τον κυριον μου.
11Then David took hold of his garments and rent them; and all the men that were with him [did] likewise.
11[] Τοτε πιασας ο Δαβιδ τα ιματια αυτου, διεσχισεν αυτα· και παντες ομοιως οι ανδρες οι μετ' αυτου.
12And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until even for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of Jehovah, and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword.
12Και επενθησαν και εκλαυσαν και ενηστευσαν εως εσπερας δια τον Σαουλ και δια Ιωναθαν τον υιον αυτου και δια τον λαον του Κυριου και δια τον οικον του Ισραηλ, διοτι επεσον δια ρομφαιας.
13And David said to the young man that told him, Whence art thou? And he said, I am the son of an Amalekite stranger.
13Ειπε δε ο Δαβιδ προς τον νεον, τον απαγγελλοντα προς αυτον, Ποθεν εισαι; Και απεκριθη, Ειμαι υιος παροικου τινος Αμαληκιτου.
14And David said to him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thy hand to destroy Jehovah's anointed?
14Και ειπε προς αυτον ο Δαβιδ, Πως δεν εφοβηθης να επιβαλης την χειρα σου δια να θανατωσης τον κεχρισμενον του Κυριου;
15Then David called one of the young men and said, Draw near, [and] fall on him. And he smote him that he died.
15Και εκαλεσεν ο Δαβιδ ενα εκ των νεων και ειπε, Πλησιασον, πεσον επ' αυτον. Και επαταξεν αυτον, και απεθανε.
16And David said to him, Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy mouth has testified against thee, saying, I have slain Jehovah's anointed.
16Και ειπε προς αυτον ο Δαβιδ, Το αιμα σου επι της κεφαλης σου· διοτι το στομα σου εμαρτυρησεν εναντιον σου, λεγων, Εγω εθανατωσα τον κεχρισμενον του Κυριου.
17And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son;
17[] Και εθρηνησεν ο Δαβιδ τον θρηνον τουτον επι τον Σαουλ και επι Ιωναθαν τον υιον αυτου·
18and he bade them teach the children of Judah [the song of] the bow. Behold, it is written in the book of Jasher: --
18και παρηγγειλε να διδαξωσι τους υιους Ιουδα τουτο το ασμα του τοξου· ιδου, ειναι γεγραμμενον εν τω βιβλιω του Ιασηρ.
19The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high places: how are the mighty fallen!
19Ω δοξα του Ισραηλ, επι τους υψηλους τοπους σου κατηκοντισμενη. Πως επεσον οι δυνατοι.
20Tell [it] not in Gath, carry not the tidings in the streets of Ashkelon; Lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, Lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
20Μη αναγγειλητε εις την Γαθ, μη διακηρυξητε εις τας πλατειας της Ασκαλωνος, μηποτε χαρωσιν αι θυγατερες των Φιλισταιων, μηποτε αγαλλιασωνται αι θυγατερες των απεριτμητων·
21Ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew, no rain upon you, nor fields of heave-offerings! For there the shield of the mighty was vilely cast away, The shield of Saul, [as] not anointed with oil.
21Ορη τα εν Γελβουε, Ας μη ηναι δροσος μηδε βροχη εφ' υμας, μηδε αγροι διδοντες απαρχας· διοτι εκει απερριφθη η ασπις των ισχυρων, Η ασπις του Σαουλ, ως να μη εχρισθη δι' ελαιου.
22From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, The bow of Jonathan turned not back, And the sword of Saul returned not empty.
22Απο του αιματος των πεφονευμενων, απο του στεατος των ισχυρων, το τοξον του Ιωναθαν δεν εστρεφετο οπισω, και η ρομφαια του Σαουλ δεν επεστρεφε κενη.
23Saul and Jonathan, beloved and pleasant in their lives, Even in their death were not divided; They were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.
23Σαουλ και Ιωναθαν ησαν οι ηγαπημενοι και ερασμιοι εν τη ζωη αυτων, και εν τω θανατω αυτων δεν εχωρισθησαν· ησαν ελαφροτεροι αετων, δυνατωτεροι λεοντων.
24Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet with splendour, Who put ornaments of gold upon your apparel.
24Θυγατερες Ισραηλ, κλαυσατε επι τον Σαουλ τον ενδυοντα υμας κοκκινα μετα καλλωπισμων, τον επιβαλλοντα στολισμους χρυσους επι τα ενδυματα υμων.
25How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! Jonathan is slain upon thy high places.
25Πως επεσον οι δυνατοι εν μεσω της μαχης· Ιωναθαν, επι τους υψηλους τοπους σου τετραυματισμενε.
26I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant wast thou unto me; Thy love to me was wonderful, passing women's love.
26Περιλυπος ειμαι δια σε, αδελφε μου Ιωναθαν· προσφιλεστατος εσταθης εις εμε· η προς εμε αγαπη σου ητο εξαισιος. Υπερεβαινε την αγαπην των γυναικων.
27How are the mighty fallen, and the instruments of war perished!
27Πως επεσον οι δυνατοι, και απωλεσθησαν τα οπλα του πολεμου.
