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.
1Then Nahash the Ammonite came up and encamped against Jabesh Gilead; and all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, “Make a covenant with us, and we will serve you.”
2καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτοὺς Νάας ὁ Ἀμμανίτης· ἐν ταύτῃ διαθήσομαι διαθήκην ὑμῖν, ἐν τῷ ἐξορύξαι ὑμῶν πάντα ὀφθαλμὸν δεξιόν, καὶ θήσομαι ὄνειδος ἐπὶ Ἰσραήλ.
2Nahash the Ammonite said to them, “On this condition I will make it with you, that all your right eyes be gouged out. I will make this dishonor 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.
3The elders of Jabesh said to him, “Give us seven days, that we may send messengers to all the borders of Israel; and then, if there is no one to save us, we will come out to you.”
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.
4Then the messengers came to Gibeah of Saul, and spoke these words in the ears of the people, then all the people lifted up their voice 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.
5Behold, Saul came following the oxen out of the field; and Saul said, “What ails the people that they weep?” They told him the words of the men of Jabesh.
6καὶ ἐφήλατο πνεῦμα Κυρίου ἐπὶ Σαοὺλ ὡς ἤκουσε τὰ ρήματα ταῦτα, καὶ ἐθυμώθη ἐπ᾿ αὐτοὺς ὀργῇ αὐτοῦ σφόδρα.
6God’s Spirit came mightily on Saul when he heard those words, and his anger burned hot.
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.
7He took a yoke of oxen and cut them in pieces, then sent them throughout all the borders of Israel by the hand of messengers, saying, “Whoever doesn’t come out after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen.” The dread of the LORD fell on the people, and they came out as one man.
8καὶ ἐπισκέπτεται αὐτοὺς Ἀβιεζὲκ ἐν Βαμᾷ, πάντα ἄνδρα Ἰσραὴλ ἑξακοσίας χιλιάδας καὶ ἄνδρας Ἰούδα ἑβδομήκοντα χιλιάδας.
8He counted them in Bezek; and the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah 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.
9They said to the messengers who came, “Tell the men of Jabesh Gilead, ‘Tomorrow, by the time the sun is hot, you will be rescued.’” The messengers came and told the men of Jabesh; and they were glad.
10καὶ εἶπον οἱ ἄνδρες Ἰαβὶς πρὸς Νάας τὸν Ἀμμανίτην· αὔριον ἐξελευσόμεθα πρὸς ὑμᾶς, καὶ ποιήσετε ἡμῖν τὸ ἀγαθὸν ἐνώπιον ὑμῶν.
10Therefore the men of Jabesh said, “Tomorrow we will come out to you, and you shall do with us all that seems good to you.”
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.
11On the next day, Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the middle of the camp in the morning watch, and struck the Ammonites until the heat of the day. Those who remained were scattered, so that no two of them were left together.
12καὶ εἶπεν ὁ λαὸς πρὸς Σαμουήλ· τίς ὁ εἴπας ὅτι Σαοὺλ οὐ βασιλεύσει ἡμῶν; παράδος τοὺς ἄνδρας, καὶ θανατώσομεν αὐτούς.
12The people said to Samuel, “Who is he who said, ‘Shall Saul reign over us?’ Bring those men, that we may put them to death!”
13καὶ εἶπε Σαούλ· οὐκ ἀποθανεῖται οὐδεὶς ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ταύτῃ, ὅτι σήμερον ἐποίησε Κύριος σωτηρίαν ἐν Ἰσραήλ.
13Saul said, “No man shall be put to death today; for today the LORD has rescued Israel.”
14καὶ εἶπε Σαμουὴλ πρὸς τὸν λαὸν λέγων· πορευθῶμεν εἰς Γάλγαλα, καὶ ἐγκαινίσωμεν ἐκεῖ τὴν βασιλείαν.
14Then Samuel said to the people, “Come! Let’s go to Gilgal, and 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.
15All the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal. There they offered sacrifices of peace offerings before the LORD; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.
