1Now these are David’s last words. David the son of Isai said: The man to whom it was appointed concerning the Christ of the God of Jacob, the excellent psalmist of Israel said:
1ΚΑΙ οὗτοι οἱ λόγοι Δαυὶδ οἱ ἔσχατοι· Πιστὸς Δαυὶδ υἱὸς Ἰεσσαί, καὶ πιστὸς ἀνήρ, ὃν ἀνέστησε Κύριος ἐπὶ χριστὸν Θεοῦ Ἰακώβ, καὶ εὐπρεπεῖς ψαλμοὶ Ἰσραήλ.
2The spirit of the Lord hath spoken by me and his word by my tongue.
2πνεῦμα Κυρίου ἐλάλησεν ἐν ἐμοί, καὶ ὁ λόγος αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ γλώσσης μου.
3The God of Israel said to me, the strong one of Israel spoke, the ruler of men, the just ruler in the fear of God.
3λέγει ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραήλ, ἐμοὶ ἐλάλησε φύλαξ Ἰσραήλ· παραβολὴν εἰπὸν ἐν ἀνθρώπῳ· πῶς κραταιώσητε φόβον Θεοῦ;
4As the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, shineth in the morning without clouds, and as the grass springeth out of the earth by rain.
4καὶ ἐν Θεῷ φωτὶ πρωΐας ἀνατείλαι ἥλιος, τὸ πρωΐ παρῆλθεν ἐκ φέγγους καὶ ὡς ἐξ ὑετοῦ χλόης ἀπὸ γῆς.
5Neither is my house so great with God, that he should make with me an eternal covenant, firm in all things and assured. For he is all my salvation, and all my will: neither is there ought thereof that springeth not up.
5οὐ γὰρ οὕτως ὁ οἶκός μου μετὰ ἰσχυροῦ; διαθήκην γὰρ αἰώνιον ἔθετό μοι, ἑτοίμην ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ πεφυλαγμένην, ὅτι πᾶσα σωτηρία μου καὶ πᾶν θέλημα, ὅτι οὐ μὴ βλαστήσῃ ὁ παράνομος.
6But transgressors shall all of them be plucked up as thorns: which are not taken away with hands.
6ὥσπερ ἄκανθα ἐξωσμένη πάντες οὗτοι, ὅτι οὐ χειρὶ ληφθήσονται,
7And if a man will touch them, he must be armed with iron and with the staff of a lance: but they shall be set on fire and burnt to nothing.
7καὶ ἀνὴρ οὐ κοπιάσει ἐν αὐτοῖς, καὶ πλῆρες σιδήρου καὶ ξύλον δόρατος, καὶ ἐν πυρὶ καύσει καυθήσονται αἰσχύνην αὐτῶν.
8These are the names of the valiant men of David. Jesbaham sitting in the chair was the wisest chief among the three, he was like the most tender little worm of the wood, who killed eight hundred men at one onset.
8Ταῦτα τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν δυνατῶν Δαυίδ· Ἰεβοσθὲ ὁ Χαναναῖος, ἄρχων τοῦ τρίτου ἐστίν, Ἀδινὼν ὁ Ἀσωναῖος· οὗτος ἐσπάσατο τὴν ρομφαίαν αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ ὀκτακοσίους στρατιώτας εἰσάπαξ.
9After him was Eleazar the son of Dodo the Ahohite, one of the three valiant men that were with David when they defied the Philistines, and they were there gathered together to battle.
9καὶ μετ' αὐτὸν Ἐλεανὰν υἱὸς πατραδέλφου αὐτοῦ υἱὸς Σουδίτου ἐν τοῖς τρισὶ δυνατοῖς. οὗτος μετὰ Δαυὶδ ἦν ἐν Σερράν, καὶ ἐν τῷ ὀνειδίσαι αὐτὸν ἐν τοῖς ἀλλοφύλοις συνήχθησαν ἐκεῖ εἰς πόλεμον, καὶ ἀνέβησαν ἀνὴρ Ἰσραήλ·
10And when the men of Israel were gone away, he stood and smote the Philistines till his hand was weary, and grew stiff with the sword: and the Lord wrought a great victory that day: and the people that were fled away, returned to take spoils of them that were slain.
10αὐτὸς ἀνέστη καὶ ἐπάταξεν ἐν τοῖς ἀλλοφύλοις, ἕως οὗ ἐκοπίασεν ἡ χεὶρ αὐτοῦ καὶ προσεκολλήθη ἡ χεὶρ αὐτοῦ πρὸς τὴν μάχαιραν, καὶ ἐποίησε Κύριος σωτηρίαν μεγάλην ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ· καὶ ὁ λαὸς ἐκάθητο ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ πλὴν ἐκδιδύσκειν.
11And after him was Semma the son of Age of Arari. And the Philistines were gathered together in a troop: for there was a field full of lentils. And when the people were fled from the face of the Philistines,
11καὶ μετ' αὐτὸν Σαμαΐα υἱὸς Ἀσὰ ὁ Ἀρουχαῖος. καὶ συνήχθησαν οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι εἰς Θηρία, καὶ ἦν ἐκεῖ μερὶς τοῦ ἀγροῦ πλήρης φακοῦ, καὶ ὁ λαὸς ἔφυγεν ἐκ προσώπου ἀλλοφύλων·
12He stood in the midst of the field, and defended it, and defeated the Philistines: and the Lord gave a great victory.
12καὶ ἐστηλώθη ἐν μέσῳ τῆς μερίδος καὶ ἐξείλατο αὐτὴν καὶ ἐπάταξε τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους, καὶ ἐποίησε Κύριος σωτηρίαν μεγάλην.
13Moreover also before this the three who were princes among the thirty, went down and came to David in the harvest time into the cave of Odollam: and the camp of the Philistines was in the valley of the giants.
13καὶ κατέβησαν τρεῖς ἀπὸ τῶν τριάκοντα καὶ ἦλθαν εἰς Κασὼν πρὸς Δαυὶδ εἰς τὸ σπήλαιον Ὀδολλάμ, καὶ τάγμα τῶν ἀλλοφύλων παρενέβαλον ἐν τῇ κοιλάδι Ραφαΐμ·
14And David was then in a hold. and there was a garrison of the Philistines then in Bethlehem.
14καὶ Δαυὶδ τότε ἐν τῇ περιοχῇ, καὶ τὸ ὑπόστημα τῶν ἀλλοφύλων τότε ἐν Βηθλεέμ.
15And David longed, and said: O that some man would get me a drink of the water out of the cistern, that is in Bethlehem, by the gate.
15καὶ ἐπεθύμησε Δαυὶδ καὶ εἶπε· τίς ποτιεῖ με ὕδωρ ἐκ τοῦ λάκκου τοῦ ἐν Βηθλεὲμ τοῦ ἐν τῇ πύλῃ; τὸ δὲ σύστημα τῶν ἀλλοφύλων τότε ἐν Βηθλεέμ.
16And the three valiant men broke through the camp of the Philistines, and drew water out of the cistern of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and brought it to David: but he would not drink, but offered it to the Lord,
16καὶ διέρρηξαν οἱ τρεῖς δυνατοὶ ἐν τῇ παρεμβολῇ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων καὶ ὑδρεύσαντο ὕδωρ ἐκ τοῦ λάκκου τοῦ ἐν Βηθλεὲμ τοῦ ἐν τῇ πύλῃ καὶ ἔλαβαν καὶ παρεγένοντο πρὸς Δαυίδ, καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησε πιεῖν αὐτὸ καὶ ἔσπεισεν αὐτὸ τῷ Κυρίῳ
17Saying: The Lord be merciful to me, that I may not do this: shall I drink the blood of these men that went, and the peril of their lives? therefore he would not drink. These things did these three mighty men.
17καὶ εἶπεν· ἵλεώς μοι, Κύριε, τοῦ ποιῆσαι τοῦτο, εἰ αἷμα τῶν ἀνδρῶν τῶν πορευθέντων ἐν ταῖς ψυχαῖς αὐτῶν πίομαι· καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησε πιεῖν αὐτό. ταῦτα ἐποίησαν οἱ τρεῖς δυνατοί.
18Abisai also the brother of Joab, the son of Sarvia, was chief among three: and he lifted up his spear against three hundred whom he slew, and he was renowned among the three,
18καὶ Ἀβεσσὰ ὁ ἀδελφὸς Ἰωὰβ υἱὸς Σαρουΐας αὐτὸς ἄρχων ἐν τοῖς τρισί. καὶ αὐτὸς ἐξήγειρε τὸ δόρυ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τριακοσίους τραυματίας, καὶ αὐτῷ ὄνομα ἐν τοῖς τρισίν·
19And the noblest of three, and was their chief, but to the three first he attained not.
19ἐκ τῶν τριῶν ἐκείνων ἔνδοξος, καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτοῖς εἰς ἄρχοντα, καὶ ἕως τῶν τριῶν οὐκ ἦλθε.
20And Banaias the son of Joiada a most valiant man, of great deeds, of Cabseel: he slew the two lions of Moab, and he went down, and slew a lion in the midst of a pit, in the time of snow.
20καὶ Βαναίας υἱὸς Ἰωδαὲ ἀνὴρ αὐτὸς πολλοστὸς ἔργοις ἀπὸ Καβεσεήλ, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐπάταξε τοὺς δύο υἱοὺς Ἀριὴλ τοῦ Μωάβ· καὶ αὐτὸς κατέβη καὶ ἐπάταξε τὸν λέοντα ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ λάκκου ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῆς χιόνος·
21He also slew an Egyptian, a man worthy to be a sight, having a spear in his hand: but he went down to him with a rod, and forced the spear out of the hand of the Egyptian, and slew him with his own spear.
21αὐτὸς ἐπάταξε τὸν ἄνδρα τὸν Αἰγύπτιον, ἄνδρα ὁρατόν, ἐν δὲ τῇ χειρὶ τοῦ Αἰγυπτίου δόρυ ὡς ξύλον διαβάθρας, καὶ κατέβη πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐν ράβδῳ καὶ ἥρπασε τὸ δόρυ ἐκ τῆς χειρὸς τοῦ Αἰγυπτίου καὶ ἀπέκτεινεν αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ δόρατι αὐτοῦ.
22These things did Banaias the son of Joiada.
22ταῦτα ἐποίησε Βαναίας υἱὸς Ἰωδαέ, καὶ αὐτῷ ὄνομα ἐν τοῖς τρισὶ τοῖς δυνατοῖς·
23And he was renowned among the three valiant men, who were the most honourable among the thirty: but he attained riot to the first three: and David made him of his privy council.
23ἐκ τῶν τριῶν ἔνδοξος, καὶ πρὸς τοὺς τρεῖς οὐκ ἦλθε· καὶ ἔταξεν αὐτὸν Δαυὶδ πρὸς τὰς ἀκοὰς αὐτοῦ. καὶ ταῦτα τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν δυνατῶν Δαυὶδ τοῦ βασιλέως·
24Asael the brother of Joab was one of the thirty, Elehanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem.
24Ἀσαὴλ ἀδελφὸς Ἰωὰβ (οὗτος ἐν τοῖς τριάκοντα), Ἐλεανὰν υἱὸς Δουδὶ πατραδέλφου αὐτοῦ ἐν Βηθλεέμ.
