1 Samuel 7
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1And the men of Kiriath-jearim came, and fetched up the ark of the LORD, and brought it into the house of Abinadab in the hill, and 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, from the day that the ark abode in Kiriath-jearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years; and all the house of Israel yearned after 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 unto all the house of Israel, saying: 'If ye do return unto the LORD with all your heart, then put away the foreign gods and the Ashtaroth from among you, and direct 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 did put away the Baalim and the Ashtaroth, 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 Mizpah, and I will pray for you unto the LORD.'
5καὶ εἶπε Σαμουήλ· ἀθροίσατε πάντα Ἰσραὴλ εἰς Μασσηφάθ, καὶ προσεύξομαι περὶ ὑμῶν πρὸς Κύριον.
6And they gathered together to Mizpah, and drew water, and poured it out before the LORD, and fasted on that day, and said there: 'We have sinned against the LORD.' And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpah.
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 when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard it, 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 the children of Israel said to Samuel: 'Cease not to cry unto the LORD our God for us, that He 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 for a whole burnt-offering unto the LORD; and Samuel cried unto the LORD for Israel; and the LORD answered 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 as Samuel was offering up the burnt-offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel; but the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them; and they were smitten down before 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 went out of Mizpah, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, until they came under Beth-car.
11καὶ ἐξῆλθαν ἄνδρες Ἰσραὴλ ἐκ Μασσηφὰθ καὶ κατεδίωξαν τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους καὶ ἐπάταξαν αὐτοὺς ἕως ὑποκάτω τοῦ Βαιθχόρ.
12Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpah and Shen, and called the name of it Eben-ezer, saying: 'Hitherto hath the LORD 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.
13So the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more within the border 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 Ekron even unto Gath; and the border thereof did Israel deliver out of the hand of the Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.
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 from year to year in circuit to Beth-el, and Gilgal, and Mizpah; and he judged Israel in all those places.
16καὶ ἐπορεύετο κατ᾿ ἐνιαυτὸν καὶ ἐκύκλου Βαιθὴλ καὶ τὴν Γαλγαλὰ καὶ τὴν Μασσηφὰθ καὶ ἐδίκαζε τὸν Ἰσραὴλ ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ἡγιασμένοις τούτοις·
17And his return was to Ramah, for there was his house; and there he judged Israel; and he built there an altar unto 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.
