1And Samuel said to Saul: The Lord sent me to anoint thee king over his People Israel: now therefore hearken thou unto the voice of the Lord:
1ΚΑΙ εἶπε Σαμουὴλ πρὸς Σαούλ· ἐμὲ ἀπέστειλε Κύριος χρῖσαί σε εἰς βασιλέα ἐπὶ Ἰσραήλ, καὶ νῦν ἄκουε τῆς φωνῆς Κυρίου·
2Thus saith the Lord of hosts: I have reckoned up all that Amalec hath done to Israel: I how he opposed them in the way when they came up out of Egypt.
2τάδε εἶπε Κύριος Σαβαώθ· νῦν ἐκδικήσω ἃ ἐποίησεν Ἀμαλὴκ τῷ Ἰσραήλ, ὡς ἀπήντησεν αὐτῷ ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ ἀναβαίνοντος αὐτοῦ ἐξ Αἰγύπτου·
3Now therefore go, and smite Amalec, and utterly destroy all that he hath: spare him not, nor covet any thing that is his: but slay both man and woman, child and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.
3καὶ νῦν πορεύου καὶ πατάξεις τὸν Ἀμαλὴκ καὶ Ἱερὶμ καὶ πάντα τὰ αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐ περιποιήσῃ ἐξ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐξολοθρεύσεις αὐτὸν καὶ ἀναθεματιεῖς αὐτὸν καὶ πάντα τὰ αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐ φείσῃ ἀπ᾿ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀποκτενεῖς ἀπὸ ἀνδρὸς καὶ ἕως γυναικὸς καὶ ἀπὸ νηπίου ἕως θηλάζοντος καὶ ἀπὸ μόσχου ἕως προβάτου καὶ ἀπὸ καμήλου ἕως ὄνου.
4So Saul commanded the people, and numbered them as lambs: two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand of the men of Juda.
4καὶ παρήγγειλε Σαοὺλ τῷ λαῷ καὶ ἐπισκέπτεται αὐτοὺς ἐν Γαλγάλοις τετρακοσίας χιλιάδας ταγμάτων καὶ τὸν Ἰούδαν τριάκοντα χιλιάδας ταγμάτων.
5And when Saul was come to the city of Amalec, he laid ambushes in the torrent.
5καὶ ἦλθε Σαοὺλ ἕως τῶν πόλεων Ἀμαλὴκ καὶ ἐνήδρευσεν ἐν τῷ χειμάρρῳ.
6And Saul said to the Cinite: Go, depart and get ye down from Amalec: lest I destroy thee with him. For thou hast shewn kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt. And the Cinite departed from the midst of Amalec.
6καὶ εἶπε Σαοὺλ πρὸς τὸν Κιναῖον· ἄπελθε καὶ ἔκκλινον ἐκ μέσου τοῦ Ἀμαληκίτου, μὴ προσθῶ σε μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ, καὶ σὺ ἐποίησας ἔλεος μετὰ τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ ἐν τῷ ἀναβαίνειν αὐτοὺς ἐξ Αἰγύπτου· καὶ ἐξέκλινεν ὁ Κιναῖος ἐκ μέσου Ἀμαλήκ.
7And Saul smote Amalec from Hevila, until thou comest to Sur, which is over against Egypt.
7καὶ ἐπάταξε Σαοὺλ τὸν Ἀμαλὴκ ἀπὸ Εὐιλὰτ ἕως Σοὺρ ἐπὶ προσώπου Αἰγύπτου.
8And he took Agag the king of Amalec alive: but all the common people he slew with the edge of the sword.
8καὶ συνέλαβε τὸν Ἀγὰγ βασιλέα Ἀμαλὴκ ζῶντα καὶ πάντα τὸν λαὸν καὶ Ἱερὶμ ἀπέκτεινεν ἐν στόματι ρομφαίας.
9And Saul and the people spared Agag and the best of the flocks of sheep and of the herds, and the garments and the rams, and all that was beautiful, and would not destroy them: but every thing that was vile and good for nothing, that they destroyed.
9καὶ περιεποιήσατο Σαοὺλ καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς τὸν Ἀγὰγ ζῶντα καὶ τὰ ἀγαθὰ τῶν ποιμνίων καὶ τῶν βουκολίων καὶ τῶν ἐδεσμάτων καὶ τῶν ἀμπελώνων καὶ πάντων τῶν ἀγαθῶν καὶ οὐκ ἐβούλοντο ἐξολοθρεῦσαι αὐτά· καὶ πᾶν ἔργον ἠτιμωμένον καὶ ἐξουδενωμένον ἐξωλόθρευσαν.
10And the word of the Lord came to Samuel, saying:
10Καὶ ἐγενήθη ρῆμα Κυρίου πρὸς Σαμουὴλ λέγων·
11It repenteth me that I have made Saul king: for he hath forsaken me, and hath not executed my commandments. And Samuel was grieved, and he cried unto the Lord all night.
11παρακέκλημαι ὅτι ἐβασίλευσα τὸν Σαοὺλ εἰς βασιλέα, ὅτι ἀπέστρεψεν ἀπὸ ὄπισθέν μου καὶ τοὺς λόγους μου οὐκ ἐτήρησε. καὶ ἠθύμησε Σαμουὴλ καὶ ἐβόησε πρὸς Κύριον ὅλην τὴν νύκτα.
12And when Samuel rose early, to go to Saul in the morning, it was told Samuel, that Saul was come to Carmel, and had erected for himself a triumphant arch, and returning had passed on, and gone down to Galgal. And Samuel came to Saul, and Saul was offering a holocaust to the Lord out of the choicest of the spoils which he had brought from Amalec.
12καὶ ὤρθρισε Σαμουὴλ καὶ ἐπορεύθη εἰς ἀπάντησιν Ἰσραὴλ τὸ πρωΐ. καὶ ἀπηγγέλη τῷ Σαοὺλ λέγοντες· ἥκει Σαμουὴλ εἰς Κάρμηλον καὶ ἀνέστακεν αὐτῷ χεῖρα καὶ ἐπέστρεψε τὸ ἅρμα. καὶ κατέβη εἰς Γάλγαλα πρὸς Σαούλ, καὶ ἰδοὺ αὐτὸς ἀνέφερεν ὁλοκαύτωσιν τῷ Κυρίῳ τὰ πρῶτα τῶν σκύλων, ὧν ἤνεγκεν ἐξ Ἀμαλήκ.
13And when Samuel was come to Saul, Saul said to him: Blessed be thou of the Lord, I have fulfilled the word of the Lord.
13καὶ παρεγένετο Σαμουὴλ πρὸς Σαούλ, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Σαούλ· εὐλογητὸς σὺ τῷ Κυρίῳ· ἔστησα πάντα, ὅσα ἐλάλησε Κύριος.
14And Samuel said: What meaneth then this bleating of the flocks, which soundeth in my ears, and the lowing of the herds, which I hear?
14καὶ εἶπε Σαμουήλ· καὶ τίς ἡ φωνὴ τοῦ ποιμνίου τούτου ἐν τοῖς ὠσί μου καὶ φωνὴ τῶν βοῶν, ὧν ἐγὼ ἀκούω;
15And Saul said: They have brought them from Amalec: for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the herds that they might be sacrificed to the Lord thy God, but the rest we have slain.
15καὶ εἶπε Σαούλ· ἐξ Ἀμαλὴκ ἤνεγκα αὐτά, ἃ περιεποιήσατο ὁ λαὸς τὰ κράτιστα τοῦ ποιμνίου καὶ τῶν βοῶν, ὅπως τυθῇ Κυρίῳ τῷ Θεῷ σου, καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ ἐξωλόθρευσα.
16And Samuel said to Saul: Suffer me, and I will tell thee what the Lord hath said to me this night. And he said to him: Speak.
16καὶ εἶπε Σαμουὴλ πρὸς Σαούλ· ἄνες καὶ ἀπαγγελῶ σοι ἃ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρός με τὴν νύκτα· καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· λάλησον.
17And Samuel said: When thou wast a little one in thy own eyes, wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel? And the Lord anointed thee to be king over Israel.
17καὶ εἶπε Σαμουὴλ πρὸς Σαούλ· οὐχὶ μικρὸς εἶ σὺ ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ ἡγούμενος σκήπτρου φυλῆς Ἰσραήλ; καὶ ἔχρισέ σε Κύριος εἰς βασιλέα ἐπὶ Ἰσραήλ.
18And the Lord sent thee on the way, and said: Go, and kill the sinners of Amalec, and thou shalt fight against them until thou hast utterly destroyed them.
18καὶ ἀπέστειλέ σε Κύριος ἐν ὁδῷ καὶ εἶπέ σοι· πορεύθητι καὶ ἐξολόθρευσον τοὺς ἁμαρτάνοντας εἰς ἐμέ, τὸν Ἀμαλήκ, καὶ πολεμήσεις αὐτοὺς ἕως συντελέσῃς αὐτούς.
19Why then didst thou not hearken to the voice of the Lord: but hast turned to the prey, and hast done evil in the eyes of the Lord.
19καὶ ἱνατί οὐκ ἤκουσας φωνῆς Κυρίου, ἀλλ᾿ ὥρμησας τοῦ θέσθαι ἐπὶ τὰ σκῦλα καὶ ἐποίησας τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου;
20And Saul said to Samuel: Yea I have hearkened to the voice of the Lord, and have walked in the way by which the Lord sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalec, and Amalec I have slain.
20καὶ εἶπε Σαοὺλ πρὸς Σαμουήλ· διὰ τὸ ἀκοῦσαί με τῆς φωνῆς τοῦ λαοῦ· καὶ ἐπορεύθην τῇ ὁδῷ, ᾗ ἀπέστειλέ με Κύριος, καὶ ἤγαγον τὸν Ἀγὰγ βασιλέα Ἀμαλὴκ καὶ τὸν Ἀμαλὴκ ἐξωλόθρευσα·
21But the people took of the spoils sheep and oxen, as the firstfruits of those things that were slain, to offer sacrifice to the Lord their God in Galgal.
21καὶ ἔλαβεν ὁ λαὸς τῶν σκύλων ποίμνια καὶ βουκόλια, τὰ πρῶτα τοῦ ἐξολοθρεύματος, θῦσαι ἐνώπιον Κυρίου Θεοῦ ἡμῶν ἐν Γαλγάλοις.
22And Samuel said: Doth the Lord desire holocausts and victims, and not rather that the voice of the Lord should be obeyed? For obedience is better than sacrifices: and to hearken rather than to offer the fat of rams.
22καὶ εἶπε Σαμουήλ· εἰ θελητὸν τῷ Κυρίῳ ὁλοκαυτώματα καὶ θυσίας ὡς τὸ ἀκοῦσαι φωνῆς Κυρίου; ἰδοὺ ἀκοὴ ὑπὲρ θυσίαν ἀγαθὴν καὶ ἡ ἐπακρόασις ὑπὲρ στέαρ κριῶν·
23Because it is like the sin of witchcraft, to rebel: and like the crime of idolatry, to refuse to obey. Forasmuch therefore as thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, the Lord hath also rejected thee from being king.
23ὅτι ἁμαρτία οἰώνισμά ἐστιν, ὀδύνην καὶ πόνους θεραφὶν ἐπάγουσιν· ὅτι ἐξουδένωσας τὸ ρῆμα Κυρίου, καὶ ἐξουδενώσει σε Κύριος μὴ εἶναι βασιλέα ἐπὶ Ἰσραήλ.
24And Saul said to Samuel: I have sinned because I have transgressed the commandment of the Lord, and thy words, fearing the people, and obeying their voice.
24καὶ εἶπε Σαοὺλ πρὸς Σαμουήλ· ἡμάρτηκα ὅτι παρέβην τὸν λόγον Κυρίου καὶ τὸ ρῆμά σου, ὅτι ἐφοβήθην τὸν λαὸν καὶ ἤκουσα τῆς φωνῆς αὐτῶν·
25But now bear, I beseech thee, my sin, and return with me, that I may adore the Lord.
25καὶ νῦν ἆρον δὴ τὸ ἁμάρτημά μου καὶ ἀνάστρεψον μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ, καὶ προσκυνήσω Κυρίῳ τῷ Θεῷ σου.
26And Samuel said to Saul: I will not return with thee, because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, and the Lord hath rejected thee from being king over Israel.
26καὶ εἶπε Σαμουὴλ πρὸς Σαούλ· οὐκ ἀναστρέφω μετὰ σοῦ, ὅτι ἐξουδένωσας τὸ ρῆμα Κυρίου, καί ἐξουδενώσει σε Κύριος τοῦ μὴ εἶναι βασιλέα ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰσραήλ.
27And Samuel turned about to go away: but he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent.
27καὶ ἐπέστρεψε Σαμουὴλ τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ τοῦ ἀπελθεῖν. καὶ ἐκράτησε Σαοὺλ τοῦ πτερυγίου τῆς διπλοΐδος αὐτοῦ καὶ διέρρηξεν αὐτό·
28And Samuel said to him: The Lord hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to thy neighbour who is better than thee.
28καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὸν Σαμουήλ· διέρρηξε Κύριος τὴν βασιλείαν σου ἀπὸ Ἰσραὴλ ἐκ χειρός σου σήμερον καὶ δώσει αὐτὴν τῷ πλησίον σου τῷ ἀγαθῷ ὑπὲρ σέ·
29But the triumpher in Israel will riot spare, and will not be moved to repentance: for he is not a mail that he should repent.
29καὶ διαιρεθήσεται Ἰσραὴλ εἰς δύο, καὶ οὐκ ἀποστρέψει οὐδὲ μετανοήσει, ὅτι οὐχ ὡς ἄνθρωπός ἐστι τοῦ μετανοῆσαι αὐτός.
30Then he said: I have sinned: yet honour me now before the ancients of my people, and before Israel, and return with me, that I may adore the Lord thy God.
30καὶ εἶπε Σαούλ· ἡμάρτηκα, ἀλλὰ δόξασόν με δὴ ἐνώπιον πρεσβυτέρων Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἐνώπιον λαοῦ μου καὶ ἀνάστρεψον μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ, καὶ προσκυνήσω Κυρίῳ τῷ Θεῷ σου.
31So Samuel turned again after Saul: and Saul adored the Lord.
31καὶ ἀνέστρεψε Σαμουὴλ ὀπίσω Σαοὺλ καὶ προσεκύνησε τῷ Κυρίῳ.
32And Samuel said: Bring hitherto me Agag the king of Amalec. And Agag was presented to him very fat, and trembling. And Agag said: Doth bitter death separate in this manner?
32καὶ εἶπε Σαμουήλ· προσαγάγετέ μοι τὸν Ἀγὰγ βασιλέα Ἀμαλήκ. καὶ προσῆλθε πρὸς αὐτὸν Ἀγὰγ τρέμων, καὶ εἶπεν Ἀγάγ· εἰ οὕτω πικρὸς ὁ θάνατος;
33And Samuel said: As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women. And Samuel hewed him in pieces before the Lord in Galgal.
33καὶ εἶπε Σαμουὴλ πρὸς Ἀγάγ· καθότι ἠτέκνωσε γυναῖκας ἡ ρομφαία σου, οὕτως ἀτεκνωθήσεται ἐκ γυναικῶν ἡ μήτηρ σου, καὶ ἔσφαξε Σαμουὴλ τὸν Ἀγὰγ ἐνώπιον Κυρίου ἐν Γαλγάλ.
34And Samuel departed to Ramatha: but Saul went up to his house in Gabaa.
34καὶ ἀπῆλθε Σαμουὴλ εἰς Ἀρμαθαίμ, καὶ Σαοὺλ ἀνέβη εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ εἰς Γαβαά.
35And Samuel saw Saul no more till the day of his death: nevertheless Samuel mourned for Saul, because the Lord repented that he had made him king over Israel.
35καὶ οὐ προσέθετο ἔτι Σαμουὴλ ἰδεῖν τὸν Σαοὺλ ἕως ἠμέρας θανάτου αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἐπένθει Σαμουὴλ ἐπὶ Σαούλ· καὶ Κύριος μετεμελήθη ὅτι ἐβασίλευσε τὸν Σαοὺλ ἐπὶ Ἰσραήλ.
