Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἐγήρασε Σαμουὴλ, καὶ κατέστησε τούς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ δικαστὰς τῷ Ἰσραήλ.
1And it came to pass when Samuel was old, that he appointed his sons to be judges over Israel.
2Καὶ ταῦτα τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ· πρωτότοκος Ἰωήλ, καὶ ὄνομα τοῦ δευτέρου ʼΑβιά, δικασταὶ ἐν Βηρσαβεέ.
2Now the name of his firstborn son was Joel: and the name of the second was Abia, judges in Bersabee.
3Καὶ οὐκ ἐπορεύθησαν οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ ἐν ὁδῷ αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐξέκλιναν ὀπίσω τῆς συντελείας, καὶ ἐλάμβανον δῶρα, καὶ ἐξέκλινον δικαιώματα.
3And his sons walked not in his ways: but they turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.
4Καὶ συναθροίζονται ἄνδρες Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ παραγίνονται εἰς ʼΑρμαθαὶμ πρὸς Σαμουὴλ,
4Then all the ancients of Israel being assembled, came to Samuel to Ramatha.
5καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ, ἰδοὺ, σὺ γεγήρακας, καὶ οἱ υἱοί σου οὐ πορεύονται ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ σου· καὶ νῦν κατάστησον ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς βασιλέα δικάζειν ἡμᾶς, καθὰ καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ ἔθνη.
5And they said to him: Behold thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: make us a king, to judge us, as all nations have.
6Καὶ πονηρὸν τὸ ῥῆμα ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Σαμουήλ, ὡς εἶπαν, δὸς ἡμῖν βασιλέα δικάζειν ἡμᾶς· καὶ προσηύξατο Σαμουὴλ πρὸς Κύριον.
6And the word was displeasing in the eyes of Samuel, that they should say: Give us a king, to judge us. And Samuel prayed to the Lord.
7Καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Σαμουήλ, ἄκουε τῆς φωνῆς τοῦ λαοῦ, καθὰ ἂν λαλῶσί σοι, ὅτι οὐ σὲ ἐξουθενήκασιν, ἀλλʼ ἢ ἐμὲ ἐξουθενήκασι τοῦ μὴ βασιλεύειν ἐπʼ αὐτῶν.
7And the Lord said to Samuel: Hearken to the voice of the people in all that they say to thee. For they have not rejected thee, but me, that I should not reign over them.
8Κατὰ πάντα τὰ ποιήματα, ἃ ἐποίησάν μοι ἀφʼ ἧς ἡμέρας ἀνήγαγον αὐτοὺς ἐξ Αἰγύπτου ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης, καὶ ἐγκατέλιπόν με, καὶ ἐδούλευον θεοῖς ἑτέροις, οὕτως αὐτοὶ ποιοῦσι καὶ σοί.
8According to all their works, they have done from the day that I brought them out of Egypt until this day: as they have forsaken me, and served strange gods, so do they also unto thee.
9Καὶ νῦν ἄκουε τῆς φωνῆς αὐτῶν· πλὴν ὅτι διαμαρτυρόμενος διαμαρτύρῃ αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἀπαγγελεῖς αὐτοῖς τὸ δικαίωμα τοῦ βασιλέως ὃς βασιλεύσει ἐπʼ αὐτούς.
9Now therefore hearken to their voice: but yet testify to them, and foretell them the right of the king, that shall reign over them.
10Καὶ εἶπε Σαμουὴλ πᾶν τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦ κυρίου πρὸς τὸν λαὸν τοὺς αἰτοῦντας παρʼ αὐτοῦ βασιλέα.
10Then Samuel told all the words of the Lord to the people that had desired a king of him,
11Καὶ εἶπε, τοῦτο ἔσται τὸ δικαίωμα τοῦ βασιλέως ὃς βασιλεύσει ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς· τοὺς υἱοὺς ὑμῶν λήψεται, καὶ θήσεται αὐτοὺς ἐν ἅρμασιν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐν ἱππεῦσιν αὐτοῦ, καὶ προτρέχοντας τῶν ἁρμάτων αὐτοῦ,
11And said: This will be the right of the king, that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and put them in his chariots, and will make them his horsemen, and his running footmen to run before his chariots,
12καὶ θέσθαι αὐτοὺς ἑαυτῷ ἑκατονάρχους καὶ χιλιάρχους, καὶ θερίζειν θερισμὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ τρυγᾷν τρυγητὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ποιεῖν σκεύη πολεμικὰ αὐτοῦ, καὶ σκεύη ἁρμάτων αὐτοῦ.
12And he will appoint of them to be his tribunes, and centurions, and to plough his fields, and to reap his corn, and to make him arms and chariots.
13Καὶ τὰς θυγατέρας ὑμῶν λήψεται εἰς μυρεψοὺς, καὶ εἰς μαγειρίσσας, καὶ εἰς πεσσούσας.
13Your daughters also he will take to make him ointments, and to be his cooks, and bakers.
14Καὶ τοὺς ἀγροὺς ὑμῶν, καὶ τοὺς ἀμπελῶνας ὑμῶν, καὶ τοὺς ἐλαιῶνας ὑμῶν τοὺς ἀγαθοὺς λήψεται, καὶ δώσει τοῖς δούλοις ἑαυτοῦ.
14And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your best oliveyards, and give them to his servants.
15Καὶ τὰ σπέρματα ὑμῶν καὶ τοὺς ἀμπελῶνας ὑμῶν ἀποδεκατώσει, καὶ δώσει τοῖς εὐνούχοις αὐτοῦ, καὶ τοῖς δούλοις αὐτοῦ.
15Moreover he will take the tenth of your corn, and of the revenues of your vineyards, to give his eunuchs and servants.
16Καὶ τοὺς δούλους ὑμῶν, καὶ τὰς δούλας ὑμῶν, καὶ τὰ βουκόλια ὑμῶν τὰ ἀγαθὰ, καὶ τοὺς ὄνους ὑμῶν λήψεται, καὶ ἀποδεκατώσει εἰς τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ·
16Your servants also and handmaids, and your goodliest young men, and your asses he will take away, and put them to his work.
17Καὶ τὰ ποίμνια ὑμῶν ἀποδεκατώσει, καὶ ὑμεῖς ἔσεσθε αὐτῷ δοῦλοι.
17Your flocks also he will tithe, and you shall be his servants.
18Καὶ βοήσεσθε ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἐκ προσώπου βασιλέως ὑμῶν οὗ ἐξελέξασθε ἑαυτοῖς, καὶ οὐκ ἐπακούσεται Κύριος ὑμῶν ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις, ὅτι ὑμεῖς ἐξελέξασθε ἑαυτοῖς βασιλέα.
18And you shall cry out in that day from the face of the king, whom you have chosen to yourselves. and the Lord will not hear you in that day, because you desired unto yourselves a king.
19Καὶ οὐκ ἐβούλετο ὁ λαὸς ἀκοῦσαι τοῦ Σαμουὴλ, καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ, οὐχὶ, ἀλλʼ ἢ βασιλεὺς ἔσται ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς.
19But the people would not hear the voice of Samuel, and they said: Nay: but there shall be a king over us.
20Καὶ ἐσόμεθα καὶ ἡμεῖς καθὰ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη· καὶ δικάσει ἡμᾶς βασιλεὺς ἡμῶν, καὶ ἐξελεύσεται ἔμπροσθεν ἡμῶν, καὶ πολεμήσει τὸν πόλεμον ἡμῶν.
20And we also will be like all nations: and our king shall judge us, and go out before us, and tight our battles for us.
21Καὶ ἤκουσε Σαμουὴλ πάντας τοὺς λόγους τοῦ λαοῦ, καὶ ἐλάλησεν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὰ ὦτα Κυρίου.
21And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and rehearsed them in the ears of the Lord.
22Καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Σαμουήλ, ἄκουε τῆς φωνῆς αὐτῶν, καὶ βασίλευσον αὐτοῖς βασιλέα· καὶ εἶπε Σαμουὴλ πρὸς ἄνδρας Ἰσραήλ, ἀποτρεχέτω ἕκαστος εἰς τὴν πόλιν αὐτοῦ.
22And the Lord said to Samuel: Hearken to their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said to the men of Israel: Let every man go to his city.
