JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1Καὶ συνάγουσιν ἀλλόφυλοι τὰς παρεμβολὰς αὐτῶν εἰς πόλεμον, καὶ συνάγονται εἰς Σοκχὼθ τῆς Ἰουδαίας, καὶ παρεμβάλλουσιν ἀναμέσον Σοκχὼθ, καὶ ἀναμέσον ʼΑζηκὰ Ἐφερμέν.
1Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle, and they were gathered together at Socoh, which belongeth to Judah, and pitched between Socoh and Azekah, in Ephes-dammim.
2Καὶ Σαοὺλ καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες Ἰσραὴλ συνάγονται, καὶ παρεμβάλλουσιν ἐν τῇ κοιλάδι αὐτοὶ, καὶ παρατάσσονται εἰς πόλεμον ἐξεναντίας τῶν ἀλλοφύλων.
2And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and pitched in the vale of Elah, and set the battle in array against the Philistines.
3Καὶ οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι ἵστανται ἐπὶ τοῦ ὄρους ἐνταῦθα, καὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἵσταται ἐπὶ τοῦ ὄρους ἐνταῦθα, καὶ ὁ αὐλὼν ἀναμέσον αὐτῶν.
3And the Philistines stood on the mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on the mountain on the other side; and there was a valley between them.
4Καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἀνὴρ δυνατὸς ἐκ τῆς παρατάξεως τῶν ἀλλοφύλων, Γολιὰθ ὄνομα αὐτῷ ἐκ Γὲθ, ὕψος αὐτοῦ τεσσάρων πήχεων καὶ σπιθαμῆς.
4And there went out a champion from the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.
5Καὶ περικεφαλαῖα ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ, καὶ θώρακα ἁλυσιδωτὸν αὐτὸς ἐνδεδυκώς· καὶ ὁ σταθμὸς τοῦ θώρακος αὐτοῦ, πέντε χιλιάδες σίκλων χαλκοῦ καὶ σιδήρου.
5And he had a helmet of brass upon his head, and he was clad with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of brass.
6Καὶ κνημῖδες χαλκαῖ ἐπὶ τῶν σκελῶν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀσπὶς χαλκῆ ἀναμέσον τῶν ὤμων αὐτοῦ.
6And he had greaves of brass upon his legs, and a javelin of brass between his shoulders.
7Καὶ ὁ κοντὸς τοῦ δόρατος αὐτοῦ ὡσεὶ μέσακλον ὑφαινόντων, καὶ ἡ λόγχη αὐτοῦ ἑξακοσίων σίκλων σιδήρου· καὶ ὁ αἴρων τὰ ὅπλα αὐτοῦ προεπορεύετο αὐτοῦ.
7And the shaft of his spear was like a weaver's beam; and his spear's head weighed six hundred shekels of iron; and his shield-bearer went before him.
8Καὶ ἔστη καὶ ἀνεβόησεν εἰς τὴν παράταξιν Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, τί ἐκπορεύεσθε παρατάξασθαι πολέμῳ ἐξεναντίας ἡμῶν; οὐκ ἐγώ εἰμι ἀλλόφυλος, καὶ ὑμεῖς Ἐβραῖοι τοῦ Σαούλ; ἐκλέξασθε ἐαυτοῖς ἄνδρα, καὶ καταβήτω πρὸς με.
8And he stood and cried unto the armies of Israel, and said unto them: 'Why do ye come out to set your battle in array? am not I a Philistine, and ye servants to Saul? choose you a man for you, and let him come down to me.
9Καὶ ἐὰν δυνηθῇ πολεμῆσαι πρός με, καὶ ἐαν πατάξῃ με, καὶ ἐσόμεθα ὑμῖν εἰς δούλους· ἐὰν δὲ ἐγὼ δυνηθῶ καὶ πατάξω αὐτὸν, ἔσεσθε ἡμῖν εἰς δούλους, καὶ δουλεύσετε ἡμῖν.
9If he be able to fight with me, and kill me, then will we be your servants; but if I prevail against him, and kill him, then shall ye be our servants, and serve us.'
10Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἀλλόφυλος, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ὠνείδισα τὴν παράταξιν Ἰσραὴλ σήμερον ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ταύτῃ· δότε μοι ἄνδρα, καὶ μονομαχήσομεν ἀμφότεροι.
10And the Philistine said: 'I do taunt the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.'
11Καὶ ἤκουσε Σαοὺλ καὶ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ τὰ ῥήματα τοῦ ἀλλοφύλου ταῦτα, καὶ ἐξέστησαν καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν σφόδρα.
11And when Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid.

32Καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς Σαοὺλ, μὴ δὴ συμπεσέτω καρδία τοῦ κυρίου μου ἐπʼ αὐτόν· ὁ δοῦλός σου πορεύσεται καὶ πολεμήσει μετὰ τοῦ ἀλλοφύλου τούτου.
32And David said to Saul: 'Let no man's heart fail within him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine.'
33Καὶ εἶπε Σαοὺλ πρὸς τὸν Δαυὶδ, οὐ μὴ δυνήσῃ πορευθῆναι πρὸς τὸν ἀλλόφυλον τοῦ πολεμεῖν μετʼ αὐτοῦ, ὅτι παιδάριον εἶ σὺ, καὶ αὐτὸς ἀνὴρ πολεμιστὴς ἐκ νεότητος αὐτοῦ.
33And Saul said to David: 'Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.'
34Καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς Σαοὺλ, ποιμαίνων ἦν ὁ δοῦλός σου τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ ποιμνίῳ· καὶ ὅταν ἤρχετο ὁ λέων, καὶ ἡ ἄρκος, καὶ ἐλάμβανε πρόβατον ἐκ τῆς ἀγέλης,
34And David said unto Saul: 'Thy servant kept his father's sheep; and when there came a lion, or a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock,
35καὶ ἐξεπορευόμην ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπάταξα αὐτόν, καὶ ἐξέσπασα ἐκ τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ· καὶ εἰ ἐπανίστατο ἐπʼ ἐμὲ, καὶ ἐκράτησα τοῦ φάρυγγος αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπάταξα, καὶ ἐθανάτωσα αὐτόν·
35I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth; and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.
36Καὶ τὸν λέοντα καὶ τὴν ἄρκον ἔτυπτεν ὁ δοῦλός σου, καὶ ἔσται ὁ ἀλλόφυλος ὁ ἀπερίτμητος ὡς ἓν τούτων· οὐχὶ πορεύσομαι καὶ πατάξω αὐτὸν, καὶ ἀφελῶ σήμερον ὄνειδος ἐξ Ἰσραήλ; διότι τίς ὁ ἀπερίτμητος οὗτος, ὃς ὠνείδισε παράταξιν Θεοῦ ζῶντος;
36Thy servant smote both the lion and the bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath taunted the armies of the living God.'
37Κύριος ὃς ἐξείλατό με ἐκ χειρὸς τοῦ λέοντος καὶ ἐκ χειρὸς τῆς ἄρκτου, αὐτὸς ἐξελεῖταί με ἐκ χειρὸς τοῦ ἀλλοφύλου τοῦ ἀπεριτμήτου τούτου· καὶ εἶπε Σαοὺλ πρὸς Δαυὶδ, πορεύου, καὶ ἔσται Κύριος μετὰ σοῦ.
37And David said: 'The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, He will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine.' And Saul said unto David: 'Go, and the LORD shall be with thee.'
38Καὶ ἐνέδυσε Σαοὺλ τὸν Δαυὶδ μανδύαν, καὶ τὴν περικεφαλαίαν χαλκῆν περὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ,
38And Saul clad David with his apparel, and he put a helmet of brass upon his head, and he clad him with a coat of mail.
39καὶ ἔζωσε τὸν Δαυὶδ τὴν ῥομφαίαν αὐτοῦ ἐπάνω τοῦ μανδύου αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐκοπίασε περιπατήσας ἅπαξ καὶ δίς· καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς Σαοὺλ, οὐ μὴ δύνωμαι πορευθῆναι ἐν τούτοις, ὅτι οὐ πεπείραμαι· καὶ ἀφαιροῦσιν αὐτὰ ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ.
39And David girded his sword upon his apparel, and he essayed to go, but could not; for he had not tried it. And David said unto Saul: 'I cannot go with these; for I have not tried them.' And David put them off him.
40Καὶ ἔλαβε τὴν βακτηρίαν αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐξελέξατο ἑαυτῷ πέντε λίθους λείους ἐκ τοῦ χειμάῤῥου, καὶ ἔθετο αὐτοὺς ἐν τῷ καδίῳ τῷ ποιμενικῷ τῷ ὄντι αὐτῷ εἰς συλλογὴν, καὶ σφενδόνη αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ· καὶ προσῆλθε πρὸς τὸν ἄνδρα τὸν ἀλλόφυλον.
40And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in the shepherd's bag which he had, even in his scrip; and his sling was in his hand; and he drew near to the Philistine.

41And the Philistine came nearer and nearer unto David; and the man that bore the shield went before him.
42Καὶ εἶδε Γολιὰθ τὸν Δαυὶδ, καὶ ἐξητίμασεν αὐτόν· ὅτι αὐτὸς ἦν παιδάριον, καὶ αὐτὸς πυῤῥάκης μετὰ κάλλους ὀφθαλμὼν.
42And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him; for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and withal of a fair countenance.
43Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἀλλόφυλος πρὸς Δαυὶδ, ὡσεὶ κύων ἐγώ εἰμι, ὅτι σὺ ἔρχῃ ἐπʼ ἐμὲ ἐν ῥάβδῳ καὶ λίθοις; καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ, οὐχί, ἀλλʼ ἢ χείρωυ κυνός· καὶ κατηράσατο ὁ ἀλλόφυλος τὸν Δαυὶδ ἐν τοῖς θεοῖς αὐτοῦ.
43And the Philistine said unto David: 'Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves?' And the Philistine cursed David by his god.
44Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἀλλόφυλος πρὸς Δαυὶδ, δεῦρο πρὸς μὲ, καὶ δώσω τὰς σάρκας σου τοῖς πετεινοῖς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ τοῖς κτήνεσι τῆς γῆς.
44And the Philistine said to David: 'Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field.'
45Καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς τὸν ἀλλόφυλον, σὺ ἔρχῃ πρὸς μὲ ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ καὶ ἐν δόρατι καὶ ἐν ἀσπίδι, κᾀγὼ πορεύομαι πρὸς σὲ ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου Θεοῦ σαβαὼθ παρατάξεως Ἰσραὴλ, ἣν ὠνείδισας σήμερον,
45Then said David to the Philistine: 'Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a javelin; but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast taunted.
46καὶ ἀποκλείσει σε Κύριος σήμερον εἰς τὴν χεῖρά μου, καὶ ἀποκτενῶ σε, καὶ ἀφελῶ τὴν κεφαλήν σου ἀπὸ σοῦ, καὶ δώσω τὰ κῶλά σου καὶ τὰ κῶλα παρεμβολῆς ἀλλοφύλων ἐν ταύτῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τοῖς πετεινοῖς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ τοῖς θηρίοις τῆς γῆς· καὶ γνώσεται πᾶσα ἡ γῆ, ὅτι ἔστι Θεὸς ἐν Ἰσραήλ.
46This day will the LORD deliver thee into my hand; and I will smite thee, and take thy head from off thee; and I will give the carcasses of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel;
47Καὶ γνώσεται πᾶσα ἡ ἐκκλησία αὕτη, ὅτι οὐκ ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ καὶ δόρατι σώζει Κύριος, ὅτι τοῦ Κυρίου ὁ πόλεμος, καὶ παραδώσει Κύριος ὑμᾶς εἰς χεῖρας ἡμῶν.
47and that all this assembly may know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear; for the battle is the LORD'S, and He will give you into our hand.'
48Καὶ ἀνέστη ὁ ἀλλόφυλος καὶ ἐπορεύθη εἰς συνάντησιν Δαυίδ.
48And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hastened, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.
49Καὶ ἐξέτεινε Δαυὶδ τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸ κάδιον, καὶ ἔλαβεν ἐκεῖθεν λίθον ἕνα, καὶ ἐσφενδόνησε, καὶ ἐπάταξε τὸν ἀλλόφυλον εἰς τὸ μέτωπον αὐτοῦ, καὶ διέδυ ὁ λίθος διὰ τῆς περικεφαλαίας εἰς τὸ μέτωπον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν.
49And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slung it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead; and the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell upon his face to the earth.

50So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.
51Καὶ ἔδραμε Δαυὶδ, καὶ ἐπέστη ἐπʼ αὐτὸν, καὶ ἔλαβε τὴν ῥομφαίαν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐθανάτωσεν αὐτὸν, καὶ ἀφεῖλε τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ· καὶ εἶδον οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι, ὅτι τέθνηκεν ὁ δυνατὸς αὐτῶν, καὶ ἔφυγον.
51And David ran, and stood over the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw that their mighty man was dead, they fled.
52Καὶ ἀνίστανται ἄνδρες Ἰσραὴλ καὶ Ἰούδα, καὶ ἠλάλαξαν, καὶ κατεδίωξαν ὀπίσω αὐτῶν ἕως εἰσόδου Γὲθ, καὶ ἕως τῆς πύλης ʼΑσκάλωνος· καὶ ἔπεσον τραυματίαι τῶν ἀλλοφύλων ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ τῶν πυλῶν καὶ ἕως Γὲθ, καὶ ἕως ʼΑκκαρών.
52And the men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until thou comest to Gai, and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even unto Gath, and unto Ekron.
53Καὶ ἀνέστρεψαν ἄνδρες Ἰσραὴλ ἐκκλίνοντες ὀπίσω τῶν ἀλλοφύλων, καὶ κατεπάτουν τὰς παρεμβολὰς αὐτῶν.
53And the children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they spoiled their camp.
54Καὶ ἔλαβε Δαυὶδ τὴν κεφαλὴν τοῦ ἀλλοφύλου, καὶ ἤνεγκεν αὐτὴν εἰς Ἰερουσαλὴμ, καὶ τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ ἔθηκεν ἐν τῷ σκηνώματι αὐτοῦ.
