ΒΑΣΙΛΕΙΩΝ Β 1

Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο μετὰ τὸ ἀποθανεῖν Σαοὺλ, καὶ Δαυὶδ ἀνέστρεψε τύπτων τὸν Ἀμαλὴκ, καὶ ἐκάθισε Δαυὶδ ἐν Σεκελὰκ ἡμέρας δύο.
1Now it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had abode two days in Ziklag;
2Καὶ ἐγενήθη τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀνὴρ ἦλθεν ἐκ τῆς παρεμβολῆς ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ Σαοὺλ, καὶ τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ διεῤῥωγότα, καὶ γῆ ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ εἰσελθεῖν αὐτὸν πρὸς Δαυὶδ, καὶ ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ προσεκύνησεν αὐτῷ.
2It came even to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head: and so it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and did obeisance.
3Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Δαυὶδ, πόθεν σὺ παραγίνῃ; καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτὸν, ἐκ τῆς παρεμβολῆς Ἰσραὴλ ἐγὼ διασέσωσμαι.
3And David said unto him, From whence comest thou? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.
4Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Δαυὶδ, τίς ὁ λόγος οὗτος; ἀπάγγειλόν μοι· καὶ εἶπεν, ὅτι ἔφυγεν ὁ λαὸς ἐκ τοῦ πολέμου, καὶ πεπτώκασι πολλοὶ ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ ἀπέθανον, καὶ Σαοὺλ καὶ Ἰωνάθαν ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀπέθανε.
4And David said unto him, How went the matter? I pray thee, tell me. And he answered, That the people are fled from the battle, and many of the people also are fallen and dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.
5Καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ τῷ παιδαρίῳ τῷ ἀπαγγελλοντι αὐτῷ, πῶς οἶδας ὅτι τέθνηκε Σαοὺλ καὶ Ἰωνάθαν ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ;
5And David said unto the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son be dead?
6Καὶ εἶπε τὸ παιδάριον τὸ ἀπαγγέλλον αὐτῷ, περιπτώματι περιέπεσον ἐν τῷ ὄρει τῷ Γελβουὲ, καὶ ἰδοὺ Σαοὺλ ἐπεστήρικτο ἐπὶ τὸ δόρυ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἰδοὺ τὰ ἅρματα καὶ οἱ ἱππάρχαι συνῆψαν αὐτῷ.
6And the young man that told him said, As I happened by chance upon mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned upon his spear; and, lo, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him.
7Καὶ ἐπέβλεψεν ἐπὶ τὰ ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἶδέ με, καὶ ἐκάλεσέ με· καὶ εἶπα, ἰδοὺ ἐγώ.
7And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called unto me. And I answered, Here am I.
8Καὶ εἶπέ μοι, τίς εἶ σύ; καὶ εἶπα, Ἀμαληκίτης ἐγώ εἰμι.
8And he said unto me, Who art thou? And I answered him, I am an Amalekite.
9Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς μὲ, στῆθι δὴ ἐπάνω μου καὶ θανάτωσόν με, ὅτι κατέσχε με σκότος δεινὸν, ὅτι πᾶσα ἡ ψυχή μου ἐν ἐμοί.
9He said unto me again, Stand, I pray thee, upon me, and slay me: for anguish is come upon me, because my life is yet whole in me.
10Καὶ ἐπέστην ἐπʼ αὐτὸν καὶ ἐθανάτωσα αὐτὸν, ὅτι ᾔδειν ὅτι οὐ ζήσεται μετὰ τὸ πεσεῖν αὐτόν· καὶ ἔλαβον τὸ βασίλειον τὸ ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὸν χλιδόνα τὸν ἐπὶ τοῦ βραχίονος αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐνήνοχα αὐτὰ τῷ κυρίῳ μου ὧδε.
10So I stood upon him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he was fallen: and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them hither unto my lord.
11Καὶ ἐκράτησε Δαυὶδ τῶν ἱματίων αὐτοῦ, καὶ διέῤῥηξεν αὐτά· καὶ πάντες οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ μετʼ αὐτοῦ διέῤῥηξαν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτῶν.
11Then David took hold on his clothes, and rent them; and likewise all the men that were with him:
12Καὶ ἐκόψαντο καὶ ἔκλαυσαν καὶ ἐνήστευσαν ἕως δείλης ἐπὶ Σαοὺλ καὶ ἐπὶ Ἰωνάθαν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν λαὸν Ἰούδα καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον Ἰσραὴλ, ὅτι ἐπλήγησαν ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ.
12And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until even, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the LORD , and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword.
13Καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ τῷ παιδαρίῳ τῷ ἀπαγγέλλοντι αὐτῷ, πόθεν εἶ σύ; καὶ εἶπεν, υἱὸς ανδρὸς παροίκου Ἀμαληκίτου ἐγώ εἰμι.
13¶ And David said unto the young man that told him, Whence art thou? And he answered, I am the son of a stranger, an Amalekite.
14Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Δαυὶδ, πῶς οὐκ ἐφοβήθης ἐπενεγκεῖν χεῖρά σου διαφθεῖραι τὸν χριστὸν Κυρίου;
14And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thine hand to destroy the LORD’s anointed?
15Καὶ ἐκάλεσε Δαυὶδ ἓν τῶν παιδαρίων αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἶπε, προσελθὼν ἀπάντησον αὐτῷ· καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτὸν, καὶ ἀπέθανε.
15And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, and fall upon him. And he smote him that he died.
16Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὸν Δαυὶδ, τὸ αἷμά σου ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλήν σου, ὅτι τὸ στόμα σου ἀπεκρίθη κατὰ σοῦ, λέγον, ὅτι ἐγὼ ἐθανάτωσα τὸν χριστὸν Κυρίου.
16And David said unto him, Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I have slain the LORD’s anointed.
17Καὶ ἐθρήνησε Δαυὶδ τὸν θρῆνον τοῦτον ἐπὶ Σαοὺλ καὶ ἐπὶ Ἰωνάθαν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ.
17¶ And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son:
18Καὶ εἶπε τοῦ διδάξαι τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἰούδα· ἰδοὺ γέγραπται ἐπὶ βιβλίου τοῦ εὐθοῦς.
18(Also he bade them teach the children of Judah the use of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jasher.)
19Στήλωσον Ἰσραὴλ ὑπὲρ τῶν τεθνηκότων ἐπὶ τὰ ὕψη σου τραυματιῶν· πῶς ἔπεσαν δυνατοί;
19The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high places: how are the mighty fallen!
20Μὴ ἀναγγείλητε ἐν Γὲθ, καὶ μὴ εὐαγγελίσησθε ἐν ταῖς ἐξόδοις Ἀσκάλωνος, μή ποτε εὐφρανθῶσι θυγατέρες ἀλλοφύλων, μή ποτε ἀγαλλιάσωνται θυγατέρες τῶν ἀπεριτμήτων.
20Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Askelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
21Ὄρη τὰ ἐν Γελβουὲ μὴ καταβάτω δρόσος καὶ μὴ ὑετὸς ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς, καὶ ἀγροὶ ἀπαρχῶν, ὅτι ἐκεῖ προσωχθίσθη θυρεὸς δυνατῶν· θυρεὸς Σαοὺλ οὐκ ἐχρίσθη ἐν ἐλαίῳ.
21Ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew, neither let there be rain, upon you, nor fields of offerings: for there the shield of the mighty is vilely cast away, the shield of Saul, as though he had not been anointed with oil.
22Ἀφʼ αἵματος τραυματιῶν καὶ ἀπὸ στέατος δυνατῶν τόξον Ἰωνάθαν οὐκ ἀπεστράφη κενὸν εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω, καὶ ῥομφαία Σαοὺλ οὐκ ἀνέκαμψε κενή.
22From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan turned not back, and the sword of Saul returned not empty.
23Σαοὺλ καὶ Ἰωνάθαν οἱ ἠγαπημένοι καὶ ὡραῖοι οὐ διακεχωρισμένοι, εὐπρεπεῖς ἐν τῇ ζωῇ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐν τῷ θανάτῳ αὐτῶν οὐ διεχωρίσθησαν· ὑπὲρ ἀετοὺς κοῦφοι, καὶ ὑπὲρ λέοντας ἐκραταιώθησαν.
23Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in their death they were not divided: they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.
24Θυγατέρες Ἰσραὴλ ἐπὶ Σαοὺλ κλαύσατε, τὸν ἐνδιδύσκοντα ὑμᾶς κόκκινα μετὰ κόσμου ὑμῶν, τὸν ἀναφέροντα κόσμον χρυσοῦν ἐπὶ τὰ ἐνδύματα ὑμῶν.
24Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet, with other delights, who put on ornaments of gold upon your apparel.
25Πῶς ἔπεσαν δυνατοὶ ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ πολέμου, Ἰωνάθαν ἐπὶ τὰ ὕψη σου τραυματίαι;
25How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, thou wast slain in thine high places.
26Ἀλγῶ ἐπὶ σοὶ, ἀδελφέ μου Ἰωνάθαν, ὡραιώθης μοι σφόδρα, ἐθαυμαστώθη ἡ ἀγάπησίς σου ἐμοὶ ὑπὲρ ἀγάπησιν γυναικῶν.
26I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant hast thou been unto me: thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women.
27Πῶς ἔπεσαν δυνατοὶ, καὶ ἀπώλοντο σκεύη πολεμικά;
27How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!
