1ΚΑΙ ἐγενήθη ὡς μετὰ μῆνα καὶ ἀνέβη Νάας ὁ Ἀμμανίτης καὶ παρεμβάλλει ἐπὶ Ἰαβὶς Γαλαάδ. καὶ εἶπαν πάντες οἱ ἄνδρες Ἰαβὶς πρὸς Νάας τὸν Ἀμμανίτην· διάθου ἡμῖν διαθήκην, καὶ δουλεύσομέν σοι.
1And it came to pass about a month after this that Naas, the Ammonite came up, and began to fight against Jabes Galaad. And all the men of Jabes said to Naas: Make a covenant with us, and we will serve thee.
2καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτοὺς Νάας ὁ Ἀμμανίτης· ἐν ταύτῃ διαθήσομαι διαθήκην ὑμῖν, ἐν τῷ ἐξορύξαι ὑμῶν πάντα ὀφθαλμὸν δεξιόν, καὶ θήσομαι ὄνειδος ἐπὶ Ἰσραήλ.
2And Naas the Ammonite answered them: On this condition will I make a covenant with you, that I may pluck out all your right eyes, and make you a reproach in all Israel.
3καὶ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ οἱ ἄνδρες Ἰαβίς· ἄνες ἡμῖν ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας, καὶ ἀποστελοῦμεν ἀγγέλους εἰς πᾶν ὅριον Ἰσραήλ· ἐὰν μὴ ᾖ ὁ σώζων ἡμᾶς, ἐξελευσόμεθα πρὸς ὑμᾶς.
3And the ancients of Jabes said to him: Allow us seven days, that we may send messengers to all the coasts of Israel: and if there be no one to defend us, we will come out to thee.
4καὶ ἔρχονται οἱ ἄγγελοι εἰς Γαβαὰ πρὸς Σαοὺλ καὶ λαλοῦσι τοὺς λόγους εἰς τὰ ὦτα τοῦ λαοῦ, καὶ ᾖραν πᾶς ὁ λαὸς τὴν φωνὴν αὐτῶν καὶ ἔκλαυσαν.
4The messengers therefore came to Gabaa of Saul: and they spoke these words in the hearing of the people: and all the people lifted up their voices, and wept.
5καὶ ἰδοὺ Σαοὺλ ἤρχετο μετὰ τὸ πρωΐ ἐξ ἀγροῦ, καὶ εἶπε Σαούλ· τί ὅτι κλαίει ὁ λαός; καὶ διηγοῦνται αὐτῷ τὰ ρήματα τῶν ἀνδρῶν Ἰαβίς.
5And behold Saul came, following oxen out of the field, and he said: What aileth the people that they weep? And they told him the words of the men of Jabes.
6καὶ ἐφήλατο πνεῦμα Κυρίου ἐπὶ Σαοὺλ ὡς ἤκουσε τὰ ρήματα ταῦτα, καὶ ἐθυμώθη ἐπ᾿ αὐτοὺς ὀργῇ αὐτοῦ σφόδρα.
6And the spirit of the Lord came upon Saul, when he had heard these words, and his anger was exceedingly kindled.
7καὶ ἔλαβε δύο βόας καὶ ἐμέλισεν αὐτὰς καὶ ἀπέστειλεν εἰς πᾶν ὅριον Ἰσραὴλ ἐν χειρὶ ἀγγέλων λέγων· ὃς οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκπορευόμενος ὀπίσω Σαοὺλ καὶ ὀπίσω Σαμουήλ, κατὰ τάδε ποιήσουσι τοῖς βουσὶν αὐτοῦ. καὶ ἐπῆλθεν ἔκστασις Κυρίου ἐπὶ τὸν λαὸν Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἐβόησαν ὡς ἀνὴρ εἷς.
7And taking both the oxen, he cut them in pieces, and sent them into all the coasts of Israel by messengers, saying: Whosoever shall not come forth, and follow Saul and Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen. And the fear of the Lord fell upon the people, and they went out as one man.
8καὶ ἐπισκέπτεται αὐτοὺς Ἀβιεζὲκ ἐν Βαμᾷ, πάντα ἄνδρα Ἰσραὴλ ἑξακοσίας χιλιάδας καὶ ἄνδρας Ἰούδα ἑβδομήκοντα χιλιάδας.
8And he numbered them in Bezec: and there were of the children of Israel three hundred thousand: and of the men of Juda thirty thousand.
9καὶ εἶπε τοῖς ἀγγέλοις τοῖς ἐρχομένοις· τάδε ἐρεῖτε τοῖς ἀνδράσιν Ἰαβίς· αὔριον ὑμῖν ἡ σωτηρία διαθερμάναντος τοῦ ἡλίου. καὶ ἦλθον οἱ ἄγγελοι εἰς τὴν πόλιν καὶ ἀπαγγέλλουσι τοῖς ἀνδράσιν Ἰαβίς, καὶ εὐφράνθησαν.
9And they said to the messengers that came: Thus shall you say to the men of Jabes Galaad: Tomorrow, when the sun shall be hot, you shall have relief. The messengers therefore came, and told the men of Jabes: and they were glad.
10καὶ εἶπον οἱ ἄνδρες Ἰαβὶς πρὸς Νάας τὸν Ἀμμανίτην· αὔριον ἐξελευσόμεθα πρὸς ὑμᾶς, καὶ ποιήσετε ἡμῖν τὸ ἀγαθὸν ἐνώπιον ὑμῶν.
10And they said: In the morning we will come out to you: and you shall do what you please with us.
11καὶ ἐγενήθη μετὰ τὴν αὔριον καὶ ἔθετο Σαοὺλ τὸν λαὸν εἰς τρεῖς ἀρχάς, καὶ εἰσπορεύονται μέσον τῆς παρεμβολῆς ἐν φυλακῇ τῇ ἑωθινῇ καὶ ἔτυπτον τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἀμμὼν ἕως διεθερμάνθη ἡ ἡμέρα, καὶ ἐγενήθη καὶ ὑπολελειμμένοι διεσπάρησαν, καὶ οὐχ ὑπελείφθησαν ἐν αὐτοῖς δύο κατὰ τὸ αὐτό.
11And it came to pass, when the morrow was come that Saul put the people in three companies: and he came into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and he slew the Ammonites until the day grew hot, and the rest were scattered, so that two of them were not left together.
12καὶ εἶπεν ὁ λαὸς πρὸς Σαμουήλ· τίς ὁ εἴπας ὅτι Σαοὺλ οὐ βασιλεύσει ἡμῶν; παράδος τοὺς ἄνδρας, καὶ θανατώσομεν αὐτούς.
12And the people said to Samuel: Who is he that said: Shall Saul reign over us? Bring the men and we will kill them.
13καὶ εἶπε Σαούλ· οὐκ ἀποθανεῖται οὐδεὶς ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ταύτῃ, ὅτι σήμερον ἐποίησε Κύριος σωτηρίαν ἐν Ἰσραήλ.
13And Saul said: No man shall be killed this day, because the Lord this day hath wrought salvation in Israel:
14καὶ εἶπε Σαμουὴλ πρὸς τὸν λαὸν λέγων· πορευθῶμεν εἰς Γάλγαλα, καὶ ἐγκαινίσωμεν ἐκεῖ τὴν βασιλείαν.
14And Samuel said to the people: Come and let us go to Galgal, and let us renew the kingdom there.
15καὶ ἐπορεύθη πᾶς ὁ λαὸς εἰς Γάλγαλα, καὶ ἔχρισε Σαμουὴλ ἐκεῖ τὸν Σαοὺλ εἰς βασιλέα ἐνώπιον Κυρίου ἐν Γαλγάλοις καὶ ἔθυσεν ἐκεῖ θυσίας καὶ εἰρηνικὰς ἐνώπιον Κυρίου· καὶ εὐφράνθη Σαμουὴλ καὶ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ ὥστε λίαν.
15And all the people went to Galgal, and there they made Saul king before the Lord in Galgal, and they sacrificed there victims of peace before the Lord. And there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced exceedingly.
