Notes on this text (2)
- The Old Testament is translated from the Hebrew, not from the Septuagint read in the Orthodox Church; there are no deuterocanonical books.
- Katharevousa (learned 19th-century Greek), as in the CrossWire module (text from theword.gr).
1 Συνήθροισαν δε οι Φιλισταίοι πάντα τα στρατεύματα αυτών εις Αφέκ· και οι Ισραηλίται εστρατοπέδευσαν παρά την πηγήν την εν Ιεζραέλ.
1 Now the Philistines gathered together all their armies to Aphek; and the Israelites encamped by the spring which is in Jezreel.
2 Και οι σατράπαι των Φιλισταίων διέβαινον κατά εκατοντάδας και χιλιάδας· ο Δαβίδ δε και οι άνδρες αυτού διέβαινον κατόπισθεν μετά του Αγχούς.
2 The lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds and by thousands; and David and his men passed on in the rear with Achish.
3 Και είπον οι στρατηγοί των Φιλισταίων, Τι θέλουσιν ούτοι οι Εβραίοι; Και είπεν ο Αγχούς προς τους στρατηγούς των Φιλισταίων, Δεν είναι ούτος ο Δαβίδ, ο δούλος του Σαούλ βασιλέως του Ισραήλ, όστις εστάθη μετ' εμού ταύτας τας ημέρας ή τούτους τους χρόνους; και δεν εύρηκα εν αυτώ ουδέν σφάλμα, αφού ενέπεσεν εις εμέ έως της ημέρας ταύτης.
3 Then the princes of the Philistines said, “What about these Hebrews?” Achish said to the princes of the Philistines, “Isn’t this David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, who has been with me these days, or rather these years? I have found no fault in him since he fell away until today.”
4 Και ηγανάκτησαν κατ' αυτού οι στρατηγοί των Φιλισταίων· και είπον προς αυτόν οι στρατηγοί των Φιλισταίων, Απόπεμψον τον άνθρωπον τούτον, και ας επιστρέψη εις τον τόπον αυτού, τον οποίον διώρισας εις αυτόν, και ας μη καταβή μεθ' ημών εις την μάχην, μήποτε γείνη εν τη μάχη πολέμιος ημών· διότι πως ήθελε διαλλαγή ούτος μετά του κυρίου αυτού; ουχί με τας κεφαλάς των ανδρών τούτων;
4 But the princes of the Philistines were angry with him; and the princes of the Philistines said to him, “Make the man return, that he may go back to his place where you have appointed him, and let him not go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he become an adversary to us. For with what should this fellow reconcile himself to his lord? Should it not be with the heads of these men?
5 δεν είναι ούτος ο Δαβίδ, περί του οποίον έψαλλον αμοιβαίως εν τοις χοροίς, λέγοντες, Ο Σαούλ επάταξε τας χιλιάδας αυτού, Και ο Δαβίδ τας μυριάδας αυτού;
5 Isn’t this David, of whom people sang to one another in dances, saying, ‘Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands’?”
6 Τότε εκάλεσεν ο Αγχούς τον Δαβίδ και είπε προς αυτόν, Ζη Κύριος, βεβαίως εστάθης ευθύς, και η έξοδός σου και η είσοδός σου μετ' εμού εν τω στρατοπέδω είναι αρεστή έμπροσθεν των οφθαλμών μου· διότι κακόν δεν εύρηκα εν σοι, αφ' ης ημέρας ήλθες προς εμέ έως της ημέρας ταύτης· αλλ' όμως εις τους οφθαλμούς των σατραπών δεν είσαι αρεστός·
6 Then Achish called David and said to him, “As Yahweh lives, you have been upright, and your going out and your coming in with me in the army is good in my sight; for I have not found evil in you since the day of your coming to me to this day. Nevertheless, the lords don’t favor you.
7 τώρα λοιπόν επίστρεψον και ύπαγε εν ειρήνη, διά να μη φέρης δυσαρέσκειαν εις τους σατράπας των Φιλισταίων.
7 Therefore now return, and go in peace, that you not displease the lords of the Philistines.”
8 Και είπεν ο Δαβίδ προς τον Αγχούς, Αλλά τι έκαμα; και τι εύρηκας εν τω δούλω σου αφ' ης ημέρας είμαι ενώπιόν σου, έως της ημέρας ταύτης, ώστε να μη υπάγω να πολεμήσω εναντίον των εχθρών του κυρίου μου του βασιλέως;
8 David said to Achish, “But what have I done? What have you found in your servant so long as I have been before you to this day, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?”
9 Και απεκρίθη ο Αγχούς και είπε προς τον Δαβίδ, Εξεύρω ότι είσαι αρεστός εις τους οφθαλμούς μου, ως άγγελος Θεού· πλην οι σατράπαι των Φιλισταίων είπον, Δεν θέλει αναβή μεθ' ημών εις την μάχην·
9 Achish answered David, “I know that you are good in my sight, as an angel of God. Notwithstanding, the princes of the Philistines have said, ‘He shall not go up with us to the battle.’
10 τώρα λοιπόν σηκώθητι ενωρίς το πρωΐ, μετά των δούλων του κυρίου σου, των ελθόντων μετά σού· και καθώς σηκωθήτε ενωρίς το πρωΐ, ευθύς όταν φέγξη, αναχωρήσατε.
10 Therefore now rise up early in the morning with the servants of your lord who have come with you; and as soon as you are up early in the morning and have light, depart.”
11 Και εσηκώθη ενωρίς το πρωΐ ο Δαβίδ και οι άνδρες αυτού, διά να αναχωρήσωσι, να επιστρέψωσιν εις την γην των Φιλισταίων. Οι δε Φιλισταίοι ανέβησαν εις Ιεζραέλ.
11 So David rose up early, he and his men, to depart in the morning, to return into the land of the Philistines; and the Philistines went up to Jezreel.
