ΒΑΣΙΛΕΙΩΝ Β 23

Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1Πιστὸς Δαυὶδ υἱὸς Ἰεσσαί, καὶ πιστὸς ἀνὴρ ὃν ἀνέστησε Κύριος ἐπὶ χριστὸν Θεοῦ Ἰακὼβ, καὶ εὐπρεπεῖς ψαλμοὶ Ἰσραήλ.
1Now these are the last words of David: The saying of David the son of Jesse, and the saying of the man raised on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet singer of Israel:
2Πνεῦμα Κυρίου ἐλάλησεν ἐν ἐμοὶ, καὶ ὁ λόγος αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ γλώσσης μου.
2The spirit of the LORD spoke by me, and His word was upon my tongue.
3Λέγει ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ, ἐμοὶ ἐλάλησε φύλαξ ἐξ Ἰσραὴλ παραβολήν· εἶπὸν ἐν ἀνθρώπῳ, πῶς κραταιώσητε φόβον χριστοῦ;
3The God of Israel said, The Rock of Israel spoke to me: 'Ruler over men shall be the righteous, even he that ruleth in the fear of God,
4Καὶ ἐν φωτὶ Θεοῦ πρωΐας, ἀνατείλαι ἥλιος τοπρωῒ, οὗ Κύριος παρῆλθεν ἐκ φέγγους, καὶ ὡς ἐξ ὑετοῦ χλόης ἀπὸ γῆς.
4And as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, a morning without clouds; when through clear shining after rain, the tender grass springeth out of the earth.'
5Οὐ γὰρ οὕτως ὁ οἶκός μου μετὰ ἰσχυροῦ, διαθήκην γὰρ αἰώνιον ἔθετό μοι ἑτοίμην ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ πεφυλαγμένην· ὅτι πᾶσα σωτηρία μου καὶ πᾶν θέλημα, ὅτι οὐ μὴ βλαστήσῃ ὁ παράνομος.
5For is not my house established with God? for an everlasting covenant He hath made with me, ordered in all things, and sure; for all my salvation, and all my desire, will he not make it to grow?
6Ὥσπερ ἄκανθα ἐξωσμένη πάντες οὗτοι, ὅτι οὐ χειρὶ ληφθήσονται,
6But the ungodly, they are as thorns thrust away, all of them, for they cannot be taken with the hand;
7καὶ ἀνὴρ οὐ κοπιάσει ἐν αὐτοῖς· καὶ πλῆρες σιδήρου, καὶ ξύλον δόρατος, καὶ ἐν πυρὶ καύσει, καὶ καυθήσονται αἰσχύνην αὐτῶν.
7But the man that toucheth them must be armed with iron and the staff of a spear; and they shall be utterly burned with fire in their place.
8Ταῦτα τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν δυνατῶν Δαυίδ· Ἰεβοσθὲ ὁ Χαναναῖος ἄρχων τοῦ τρίτου ἐστίν· Ἀδινὼν ὁ Ἀσωναῖος, οὗτος ἐσπάσατο τὴν ῥομφαίαν αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ ὀκτακοσίους στρατιώτας εἰσάπαξ.
8These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: Josheb-basshebeth a Tahchemonite, chief of the captains; the same was Adino the Eznite; he lifted up his spear against eight hundred, whom he slew at one time.
9Καὶ μετʼ αὐτὸν Ἐλεανὰν υἱὸς πατραδέλφου αὐτοῦ υἱὸς Δουδὶ τοῦ ἐν τοῖς τρισὶ δυνατοῖς μετὰ Δαυίδ· καὶ ἐν τῷ ὀνειδίσαι αὐτὸν ἐν τοῖς ἀλλοφύλοις, συνήχθησαν ἐκεῖ εἰς πόλεμον, καὶ ἀνέβησεν ἀνὴρ Ἰσραήλ.
9And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo the son of an Ahohite, one of the three mighty men with David, when they jeoparded their lives against the Philistines that were there gathered together to battle, and the men of Israel were gone away;
10Αὐτὸς ἀνέστη καὶ ἐπάταξεν ἐν τοῖς ἀλλοφύλοις, ἕως οὗ ἐκοπίασεν ἡ χεὶρ αὐτοῦ, καὶ προσεκολλήθη ἡ χεὶρ αὐτοῦ πρὸς τὴν μάχαιραν· καὶ ἐποίησε Κύριος σωτηρίαν μεγάλην ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ· καὶ ὁ λαὸς ἐκάθητο ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ πλὴν ἐκδιδύσκειν.
10he stood firm, and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand did cleave unto the sword; and the LORD wrought a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to strip the slain.
11Καὶ μετʼ αὐτὸν Σαμαΐα υἱὸς Ἄσα ὁ Ἀρουχαῖος· καὶ συνήχθησαν οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι εἰς Θηρία· καὶ ἦν ἐκεῖ μερὶς τοῦ ἀγροῦ πλήρης φακοῦ· καὶ ὁ λαὸς ἔφυγεν ἐκ προσώπου ἀλλοφύλων.
11And after him was Shammah the son of Age the Ararite. And the Philistines were gathered together into a troop, where was a plot of ground full of lentils; and the people fled from the Philistines.
12Καὶ ἐστηλώθη ἐν μέσῳ τῆς μερίδος, καὶ ἐξείλατο αὐτὴν, καὶ ἐπάταξε τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους· καὶ ἐποίησε Κύριος σωτηρίαν μεγάλην.
12But he stood in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and slew the Philistines; and the LORD wrought a great victory.
13Καὶ κατέβησαν τρεῖς ἀπὸ τῶν τριάκοντα, καὶ κατέβησαν εἰς Κασὼν πρὸς Δαυὶδ, εἰς τὸ σπήλαιον Ὀδολλάμ· καὶ τάγμα τῶν ἀλλοφύλων, καὶ παρενέβαλον ἐν τῇ κοιλάδι Ῥαφαΐν.
13And three of the thirty chief went down, and came to David in the harvest time unto the cave of Adullam; and the troop of the Philistines were encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
14Καὶ Δαυὶδ τότε ἐν τῇ περιοχῇ, καὶ τὸ ὑπόστεμα τῶν ἀλλοφύλων τότε ἐν Βηθλεέμ.
14And David was then in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Beth-lehem.
15Καὶ ἐπεθύμησε Δαυὶδ καὶ εἶπε, τίς ποτιεῖ με ὕδωρ ἐκ τοῦ λάκκου τοῦ ἐν Βηθλεὲμ τοῦ ἐν τῇ πύλῃ; τὸ δὲ σύστεμα τῶν ἀλλοφύλων τότε ἐν Βηθλεέμ.
15And David longed, and said: 'Oh that one would give me water to drink of the well of Beth-lehem, which is by the gate!'
16Καὶ διέῤῥηξαν οἱ τρεῖς δυνατοὶ ἐν τῇ παρεμβολῇ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων, καὶ ὑδρεύσαντο ὕδωρ ἐκ τοῦ λάκκου τοῦ ἐν Βηθλεὲμ τοῦ ἐν τῇ πύλῃ· καὶ ἔλαβαν, καὶ παρεγένοντο πρὸς Δαυίδ, καὶ οὐκ ἡθέλησε πιεῖν αὐτό· καὶ ἔσπεισεν αὐτὸ τῷ Κυρίῳ.
16And the three mighty men broke through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Beth-lehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David; but he would not drink thereof, but poured it out unto the LORD.
17Καὶ εἶπεν, ἵλεώς μοι Κύριε τοῦ ποιῆσαι τοῦτο, εἰ αἷμα τῶν ἀνδρῶν τῶν πορευθέντων ἐν ταῖς ψυχαῖς αὐτῶν πίομαι· καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησε πιεῖν αὐτό. Ταῦτα ἐποίησαν οἱ τρεῖς δυνατοί.
17And he said: 'Be it far from me, O LORD, that I should do this; shall I drink the blood of the men that went in jeopardy of their lives?' therefore he would not drink it. These things did the three mighty men.
18Καὶ Ἀβεσσὰ ὁ ἀδελφὸς Ἰωάβ υἱὸς Σαρουίας αὐτὸς ἄρχων ἐν τοῖς τρισὶ, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐξήγειρε τὸ δόρυ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τριακοσίους τραυματίας· καὶ αὐτῷ ὄνομα ἐν τοῖς τρισὶν.
18And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the three. And he lifted up his spear against three hundred and slew them, and had a name among the three.
19Ἐκ τῶν τριῶν ἐκείνων ἔνδοξος, καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτοῖς εἰς ἄρχοντα, καὶ ἕως τῶν τριῶν οὐκ ἦλθε.
19He was most honourable of the three; therefore he was made their captain; howbeit he attained not unto the first three.
20Καὶ Βαναίας υἱὸς Ἰωδαὲ ἀνὴρ αὐτὸς πολλοστὸς ἔργοις, ἀπὸ Καβεσεήλ, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐπάταξε τοὺς δύο υἱοὺς Ἀριὴλ τοῦ Μωάβ· καὶ αὐτός κατέβη καὶ ἐπάταξε τὸν λέοντα ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ λάκκου ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῆς χιόνος.
20And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done mighty deeds, he smote the two altar-hearths of Moab; he went down also and slew a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow;
21Αὐτὸς ἐπάταξε τὸν ἄνδρα τὸν Αἰγύπτιον, ἄνδρα ὁρατὸν, ἐν δὲ τῇ χειρὶ τοῦ Αἰγυπτίου δόρυ ὡς ξύλον διαβάθρας· καὶ κατέβη πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐν ῥἀβδῳ, καὶ ἥρπασε τὸ δόρυ ἐκ τῆς χειρὸς τοῦ Αἰγυπτίου, καὶ ἀπέκτεινεν αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ δόρατι αὐτοῦ.
21and he slew an Egyptian, a goodly man; and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own spear.
22Ταῦτα ἐποίησε Βαναίας υἱὸν Ἰωδαὲ, καὶ αὐτῷ ὄνομα ἐν τοῖς τρισὶ τοῖς δυνατοῖς,
22These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had a name among the three mighty men.
23ἐκ τῶν τριῶν ἔνδοξος, καὶ πρὸς τοὺς τρεῖς οὐκ ἦλθε· καὶ ἔταξεν αὐτὸν Δαυὶδ πρὸς τὰς ἀκοὰς αὐτοῦ. Καὶ ταῦτα τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν δυνατῶν Δαυὶδ τοῦ βασιλέως.
23He was more honourable than the thirty, but he attained not to the first three. And David set him over his guard.
24Ἀσαὴλ ἀδελφὸς Ἰωάβ· οὗτος ἐν τοῖς τριάκοντα· Ἐλεανὰν υἱὸς Δουδὶ πατραδέλφου αὐτοῦ ἐν Βηθλεέμ·
