1And then men of Cariathiarim came and fetched up the ark of the Lord and carried it into the house of Abinadab in Gabaa: and they sanctified Eleazar his son, to keep the ark of the Lord.
1ΚΑΙ ἔρχονται οἱ ἄνδρες Καριαθιαρὶμ καὶ ἀνάγουσι τὴν κιβωτὸν διαθήκης Κυρίου καὶ εἰσάγουσιν αὐτὴν εἰς οἶκον Ἀμιναδὰβ τὸν ἐν τῷ βουνῷ· καὶ τὸν Ἐλεάζαρ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ ἡγίασαν φυλάσσειν τὴν κιβωτὸν διαθήκης Κυρίου.
2And it came to pass, that from the day the ark of the Lord abode in Cariathiarim days were multiplied, (for it was now the twentieth year,) and all the house of Israel rested following the Lord.
2Καὶ ἐγενήθη ἀφ᾿ ἦς ἡμέρας ἧν ἡ κιβωτὸς ἐν Καριαθιαρίμ, ἐπλήθυναν αἱ ἡμέραι καὶ ἐγένετο εἴκοσι ἔτη, καὶ ἐπέβλεψε πᾶς οἶκος Ἰσραὴλ ὀπίσω Κυρίου.
3And Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying: If you turn to the Lord with all your heart, put away the strange gods from among you, Baalim and Astaroth: and prepare your hearts unto the Lord, and serve him only, and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.
3καὶ εἶπε Σαμουὴλ πρὸς πάντα οἶκον Ἰσραὴλ λέγων· εἰ ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ ὑμῶν ὑμεῖς ἐπιστρέφετε πρὸς Κύριον, περιέλετε θεοὺς ἀλλοτρίους ἐκ μέσου ὑμῶν καὶ τὰ ἄλση καὶ ἑτοιμάσατε τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν πρὸς Κύριον καὶ δουλεύσατε αὐτῷ μόνῳ, καὶ ἐξελεῖται ὑμᾶς ἐκ χειρὸς ἀλλοφύλων.
4Then the children of Israel put away Baalim and Astaroth, and served the Lord only.
4καὶ περιεῖλον οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ τὰς Βααλὶμ καὶ τὰ ἄλση Ἀσταρὼθ καὶ ἐδούλευσαν Κυρίῳ μόνῳ.
5And Samuel said: Gather all Israel to Masphath, that I may pray to the Lord for you.
5καὶ εἶπε Σαμουήλ· ἀθροίσατε πάντα Ἰσραὴλ εἰς Μασσηφάθ, καὶ προσεύξομαι περὶ ὑμῶν πρὸς Κύριον.
6And they gathered together to Masphath: and they drew water, and poured it out before the Lord, and they fasted on that day, and they said there: We have sinned against the Lord. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Masphath.
6καὶ συνήχθησαν εἰς Μασσηφὰθ καὶ ὑδρεύονται ὕδωρ καὶ ἐξέχεαν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν. καὶ ἐνήστευσαν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ καὶ εἶπαν· ἡμαρτήκαμεν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου· καὶ ἐδίκαζε Σαμουὴλ τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἰσραὴλ εἰς Μασσηφάθ.
7And the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Masphath, and the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard this, they were afraid of the Philistines.
7καὶ ἤκουσαν οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι ὅτι συνηθροίσθησαν πάντες οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ εἰς Μασσηφάθ, καὶ ἀνέβησαν σατράπαι ἀλλοφύλων ἐπὶ Ἰσραήλ· καὶ ἀκούουσιν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν ἀπὸ προσώπου ἀλλοφύλων.
8And they said to Samuel: Cease not to cry to the Lord our God for us, that he may save us out of the hand of the Philistines.
8καὶ εἶπαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς Σαμουήλ· μὴ παρασιωπήσῃς ἀφ᾿ ἡμῶν τοῦ μὴ βοᾶν πρὸς Κύριον Θεόν σου, καὶ σώσει ἡμᾶς ἐκ χειρὸς ἀλλοφύλων.
9And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it whole for a holocaust to the Lord: and Samuel cried to the Lord for Israel, and the Lord heard him.
9καὶ ἔλαβε Σαμουὴλ ἄρνα γαλαθηνὸν ἕνα, καὶ ἀνήνεγκεν αὐτὸν ὁλοκαύτωσιν σὺν παντὶ τῷ λαῷ τῷ Κυρίῳ. καὶ ἐβόησε Σαμουὴλ πρὸς Κύριον περὶ Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἐπήκουσεν αὐτοῦ Κύριος.
10And it came to pass, when Samuel was offering the holocaust, the Philistines began the battle against Israel: but the Lord thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and terrified them, and they were overthrown before the face of Israel.
10καὶ ἦν Σαμουὴλ ἀναφέρων τὴν ὁλοκαύτωσιν, καὶ ἀλλόφυλοι προσῆγον εἰς πόλεμον ἐπὶ Ἰσραήλ. καὶ ἐβρόντησε Κύριος ἐν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους, καὶ συνεχύθησαν καὶ ἔπταισαν ἐνώπιον Ἰσραήλ.
11And the men of Israel going out of Masphath pursued after the Philistines, and made slaughter of them till they came under Bethchar.
11καὶ ἐξῆλθαν ἄνδρες Ἰσραὴλ ἐκ Μασσηφὰθ καὶ κατεδίωξαν τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους καὶ ἐπάταξαν αὐτοὺς ἕως ὑποκάτω τοῦ Βαιθχόρ.
12And Samuel took a stone, and laid it between Masphath and Sen: and he called the place, the Stone of help. And he said: Thus far the Lord hath helped us.
12καὶ ἔλαβε Σαμουὴλ λίθον ἕνα καὶ ἔστησεν αὐτὸν ἀνὰ μέσον Μασσηφὰθ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τῆς παλαιᾶς καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἀβενέζερ, Λίθος τοῦ βοηθοῦ, καὶ εἶπεν· ἕως ἐνταῦθα ἐβοήθησεν ἡμῖν Κύριος.
13And the Philistines were humbled, and they did not come any more into the borders of Israel. And the hand of the Lord was against the Philistines, all the days of Samuel.
13καὶ ἐταπείνωσε Κύριος τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους, καὶ οὐ προσέθεντο ἔτι προσελθεῖν εἰς ὅριον Ἰσραήλ· καὶ ἐγενήθη χεὶρ Κυρίου ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας τοῦ Σαμουήλ.
14And the cities, which the Philistines had taken from Israel, were restored to Israel, from Accaron to Geth, and their borders: and he delivered Israel from the hand of the Philistines, and there was peace between Israel and the Amorrhites.
14καὶ ἀπεδόθησαν αἱ πόλεις, ἃς ἔλαβον οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι παρὰ τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἀπέδωκαν αὐτὰς τῷ Ἰσραὴλ ἀπὸ Ἀσκάλωνος ἕως Ἀζόβ, καὶ τὸ ὅριον Ἰσραὴλ ἀφείλοντο ἐκ χειρὸς ἀλλοφύλων. καὶ ἦν εἰρήνη ἀνὰ μέσον Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ Ἀμορραίου.
15And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life:
15καὶ ἐδίκαζε Σαμουὴλ τὸν Ἰσραὴλ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας τῆς ζωῆς αὐτοῦ.
16And he went every year about to Bethel and to Galgal and to Masphath, and he judged Israel in the aforesaid places.
16καὶ ἐπορεύετο κατ᾿ ἐνιαυτὸν καὶ ἐκύκλου Βαιθὴλ καὶ τὴν Γαλγαλὰ καὶ τὴν Μασσηφὰθ καὶ ἐδίκαζε τὸν Ἰσραὴλ ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ἡγιασμένοις τούτοις·
17And he returned to Ramatha, for there was his house, and there he judged Israel: he built also there an altar to the Lord.
17ἡ δὲ ἀποστροφὴ αὐτοῦ εἰς Ἀρμαθαὶμ ὅτι ἐκεῖ ἦν ὁ οἶκος αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐδίκαζεν ἐκεῖ τὸν Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐκεῖ θυσιαστήριον τῷ Κυρίῳ.
