by Septuagint
[4] And they shall ask thee how thou doest, and shall give thee two presents of bread, and thou shall receive them of their hand.
[5] καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα εἰσελεύσῃ εἰς τὸν βουνὸν τοῦ θεοῦ, οὗ ἐστιν ἐκεῖ τὸ ἀνάστημα τῶν ἀλλοφύλων, ἐκεῖ Νασιβ ὁ ἀλλόφυλος· καὶ ἔσται ὡς ἂν εἰσέλθητε ἐκεῖ εἰς τὴν πόλιν, καὶ ἀπαντήσεις χορῷ προφητῶν καταβαινόντων ἐκ τῆς Βαμα, καὶ ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν νάβλα καὶ τύμπανον καὶ αὐλὸς καὶ κινύρα, καὶ αὐτοὶ προφητεύοντες·
[5] And afterward thou shalt go to the hill of God, where is the encampment of the Philistines; there is Nasib the Philistine: an it shall come to pass when ye shall have entered into the city, that thou shalt meet a band of prophets coming down from the Bama; and before them will be lutes, and a drum, and a pipe, and a harp, and they shall prophesy.
[6] καὶ ἐφαλεῖται ἐπὶ σὲ πνεῦμα κυρίου, καὶ προφητεύσεις μετ’ αὐτῶν καὶ στραφήσῃ εἰς ἄνδρα ἄλλον.
[6] And the Spirit of the Lord shall come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man.
[7] καὶ ἔσται ὅταν ἥξει τὰ σημεῖα ταῦτα ἐπὶ σέ, ποίει πάντα, ὅσα ἐὰν εὕρῃ ἡ χείρ σου, ὅτι θεὸς μετὰ σοῦ.
[7] And it shall come to pass when these signs shall come upon thee, — then do thou whatsoever thy hand shall find, because God is with thee.
[8] καὶ καταβήσῃ ἔμπροσθεν τῆς Γαλγαλα, καὶ ἰδοὺ καταβαίνω πρὸς σὲ ἀνενεγκεῖν ὁλοκαύτωσιν καὶ θυσίας εἰρηνικάς· ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας διαλείψεις ἕως τοῦ ἐλθεῖν με πρὸς σέ, καὶ γνωρίσω σοι ἃ ποιήσεις.
[8] And thou shalt go down in front of Galgal, and behold, I come down to thee to offer a whole-burnt-offering and peace-offerings: seven days shalt thou wait until I shall come to thee, and I will make known to thee what thou shalt do.
[9] καὶ ἐγενήθη ὥστε ἐπιστραφῆναι τῷ ὤμῳ αὐτοῦ ἀπελθεῖν ἀπὸ Σαμουηλ, μετέστρεψεν αὐτῷ ὁ θεὸς καρδίαν ἄλλην· καὶ ἦλθεν πάντα τὰ σημεῖα ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ.
[9] And it came to pass when he turned his back to depart from Samuel, God gave him another heart; and all these signs came to pass in that day.
[10] καὶ ἔρχεται ἐκεῖθεν εἰς τὸν βουνόν, καὶ ἰδοὺ χορὸς προφητῶν ἐξ ἐναντίας αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἥλατο ἐπ’ αὐτὸν πνεῦμα θεοῦ, καὶ ἐπροφήτευσεν ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν.
[10] And he comes thence to the hill, and behold a band of prophets opposite to him; and the Spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied in the midst of them.
[11] καὶ ἐγενήθησαν πάντες οἱ εἰδότες αὐτὸν ἐχθὲς καὶ τρίτην καὶ εἶδον καὶ ἰδοὺ αὐτὸς ἐν μέσῳ τῶν προφητῶν, καὶ εἶπεν ὁ λαὸς ἕκαστος πρὸς τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ Τί τοῦτο τὸ γεγονὸς τῷ υἱῷ Κις; ἦ καὶ Σαουλ ἐν προφήταις;
[11] And all that had known him before came, and saw, and behold, he was in the midst of the prophets: and the people said every one to his neighbour, What is this that has happened to the son of Kis? is Saul also among the prophets?
[12] καὶ ἀπεκρίθη τις αὐτῶν καὶ εἶπεν Καὶ τίς πατὴρ αὐτοῦ; διὰ τοῦτο ἐγενήθη εἰς παραβολήν Ἦ καὶ Σαουλ ἐν προφήταις;
[12] And one of them answered and said, And who is his father? and therefore it became a proverb, Is Saul also among the prophets?
[13] καὶ συνετέλεσεν προφητεύων καὶ ἔρχεται εἰς τὸν βουνόν.
[13] And he ceased prophesying, and comes to the hill.
[14] καὶ εἶπεν ὁ οἰκεῖος αὐτοῦ πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ πρὸς τὸ παιδάριον αὐτοῦ Ποῦ ἐπορεύθητε; καὶ εἶπαν Ζητεῖν τὰς ὄνους· καὶ εἴδαμεν ὅτι οὐκ εἰσίν, καὶ εἰσήλθομεν πρὸς Σαμουηλ.
[14] And his kinsman said to him and to his servant, Whither went ye? and they said, To seek the asses; and we saw that they were lost, and we went in to Samuel.
[15] καὶ εἶπεν ὁ οἰκεῖος πρὸς Σαουλ Ἀπάγγειλον δή μοι τί εἶπέν σοι Σαμουηλ.
[15] And his kinsman said to Saul, Tell me, I pray thee, What did Samuel say to thee?
[16] καὶ εἶπεν Σαουλ πρὸς τὸν οἰκεῖον αὐτοῦ Ἀπήγγειλεν ἀπαγγέλλων μοι ὅτι εὕρηνται αἱ ὄνοι· τὸ δὲ ῥῆμα τῆς βασιλείας οὐκ ἀπήγγειλεν αὐτῷ.
[16] And Saul said to his kinsman, he verily told me that the asses were found. But the matter of the kingdom he told him not.
[17] Καὶ παρήγγειλεν Σαμουηλ παντὶ τῷ λαῷ πρὸς κύριον εἰς Μασσηφα
[17] And Samuel summoned all the people before the Lord to Massephath.
[18] καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς υἱοὺς Ισραηλ Τάδε εἶπεν κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ λέγων Ἐγὼ ἀνήγαγον τοὺς υἱοὺς Ισραηλ ἐξ Αἰγύπτου καὶ ἐξειλάμην ὑμᾶς ἐκ χειρὸς Φαραω βασιλέως Αἰγύπτου καὶ ἐκ πασῶν τῶν βασιλειῶν τῶν θλιβουσῶν ὑμᾶς·
[18] And he said to the children of Israel, Thus has the Lord God of Israel spoken, saying, I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, and I rescued you out of the hand of Pharao king of Egypt, and out of all the kingdoms that afflicted you.
[19] καὶ ὑμεῖς σήμερον ἐξουθενήκατε τὸν θεόν, ὃς αὐτός ἐστιν ὑμῶν σωτὴρ ἐκ πάντων τῶν κακῶν ὑμῶν καὶ θλίψεων ὑμῶν, καὶ εἴπατε Οὐχί, ἀλλ’ ἢ ὅτι βασιλέα στήσεις ἐφ’ ἡμῶν· καὶ νῦν κατάστητε ἐνώπιον κυρίου κατὰ τὰ σκῆπτρα ὑμῶν καὶ κατὰ τὰς φυλὰς ὑμῶν.
[19] And ye have this day rejected God, who is himself your Deliverer out of all your evils and afflictions; and ye said, Nay, but thou shalt set a king over us: and now stand before the Lord according to your tribes, and according to your families.
[20] καὶ προσήγαγεν Σαμουηλ πάντα τὰ σκῆπτρα Ισραηλ, καὶ κατακληροῦται σκῆπτρον Βενιαμιν·
[20] And Samuel brought nigh all the tribes of Israel, and the tribe of Benjamin is taken by lot.
[21] καὶ προσάγει σκῆπτρον Βενιαμιν εἰς φυλάς, καὶ κατακληροῦται φυλὴ Ματταρι· καὶ προσάγουσιν τὴν φυλὴν Ματταρι εἰς ἄνδρας, καὶ κατακληροῦται Σαουλ υἱὸς Κις. καὶ ἐζήτει αὐτόν, καὶ οὐχ εὑρίσκετο.
[21] And he brings near the tribe of Benjamin by families, and the family of Mattari is taken by lot: and they bring near the family of Mattari, man by man, and Saul the son of Kis is taken; and he sought him, but he was not found.
[22] καὶ ἐπηρώτησεν Σαμουηλ ἔτι ἐν κυρίῳ Εἰ ἔρχεται ὁ ἀνὴρ ἐνταῦθα; καὶ εἶπεν κύριος Ἰδοὺ αὐτὸς κέκρυπται ἐν τοῖς σκεύεσιν.
[22] And Samuel asked ye
t again of the Lord, Will the man come hither? and the Lord said, Behold, he is hid among the stuff.
[23] καὶ ἔδραμεν καὶ λαμβάνει αὐτὸν ἐκεῖθεν καὶ κατέστησεν ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ λαοῦ, καὶ ὑψώθη ὑπὲρ πάντα τὸν λαὸν ὑπὲρ ὠμίαν καὶ ἐπάνω.
[23] And he ran and took him thence, and he set him in the midst of the people; and he was higher than all the people by his shoulders and upwards.
[24] καὶ εἶπεν Σαμουηλ πρὸς πάντα τὸν λαόν Εἰ ἑοράκατε ὃν ἐκλέλεκται ἑαυτῷ κύριος, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτῷ ὅμοιος ἐν πᾶσιν ὑμῖν; καὶ ἔγνωσαν πᾶς ὁ λαὸς καὶ εἶπαν Ζήτω ὁ βασιλεύς.
[24] And Samuel said to all the people, Have ye seen whom the Lord has chosen to himself, that there is none like to him among you all? And all the people took notice, and said, Let the king live!
[25] καὶ εἶπεν Σαμουηλ πρὸς τὸν λαὸν τὸ δικαίωμα τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ἔγραψεν ἐν βιβλίῳ καὶ ἔθηκεν ἐνώπιον κυρίου. καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν Σαμουηλ πάντα τὸν λαόν, καὶ ἀπῆλθεν ἕκαστος εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτοῦ.
[25] And Samuel told the people the manner of the king, and wrote it in a book, and set it before the Lord: and Samuel sent away all the people, and each went to his place.
[26] καὶ Σαουλ ἀπῆλθεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ εἰς Γαβαα· καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν υἱοὶ δυνάμεων, ὧν ἥψατο κύριος καρδίας αὐτῶν, μετὰ Σαουλ.
[26] And Saul departed to his house to Gabaa; and there went with Saul mighty men whose hearts God had touched.
[27] καὶ υἱοὶ λοιμοὶ εἶπαν Τί σώσει ἡμᾶς οὗτος; καὶ ἠτίμασαν αὐτὸν καὶ οὐκ ἤνεγκαν αὐτῷ δῶρα.
[27] But evil men said, Who is this man that shall save us? and they despised him, and brought him no gifts.
CHAPTER 11
[1] Καὶ ἐγενήθη ὡς μετὰ μῆνα καὶ ἀνέβη Ναας ὁ Αμμανίτης καὶ παρεμβάλλει ἐπὶ Ιαβις Γαλααδ. καὶ εἶπον πάντες οἱ ἄνδρες Ιαβις πρὸς Ναας τὸν Αμμανίτην Διάθου ἡμῖν διαθήκην, καὶ δουλεύσομέν σοι.
[1] And it came to pass about a month after this, that Naas the Ammanite went up, and encamped against Jabis Galaad: and all the men of Jabis said to Naas the Ammanite, Make a covenant with us, and we will serve thee.
[2] καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτοὺς Ναας ὁ Αμμανίτης Ἐν ταύτῃ διαθήσομαι ὑμῖν διαθήκην, ἐν τῷ ἐξορύξαι ὑμῶν πάντα ὀφθαλμὸν δεξιόν, καὶ θήσομαι ὄνειδος ἐπὶ Ισραηλ.
[2] Naas the Ammanite said to them, On these terms will I make a covenant with you, that I should put out all your right eyes, and I will lay a reproach upon Israel.
[3] καὶ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ οἱ ἄνδρες Ιαβις Ἄνες ἡμῖν ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας, καὶ ἀποστελοῦμεν ἀγγέλους εἰς πᾶν ὅριον Ισραηλ· ἐὰν μὴ ᾖ ὁ σῴζων ἡμᾶς, ἐξελευσόμεθα πρὸς ὑμᾶς.
[3] And the men of Jabis say to him, Allow us seven days, and we will send messengers into all the coasts of Israel: if there should be no one to deliver us, we will come out to you.
[4] καὶ ἔρχονται οἱ ἄγγελοι εἰς Γαβαα πρὸς Σαουλ καὶ λαλοῦσιν τοὺς λόγους εἰς τὰ ὦτα τοῦ λαοῦ, καὶ ἦραν πᾶς ὁ λαὸς τὴν φωνὴν αὐτῶν καὶ ἔκλαυσαν.
[4] And the messengers came to Gabaa to Saul, and they speak the words into the ears of the people; and all the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
[5] καὶ ἰδοὺ Σαουλ ἤρχετο μετὰ τὸ πρωῒ ἐξ ἀγροῦ, καὶ εἶπεν Σαουλ Τί ὅτι κλαίει ὁ λαός; καὶ διηγοῦνται αὐτῷ τὰ ῥήματα τῶν υἱῶν Ιαβις.
[5] And, behold, Saul came after the early morning out of the field: and Saul said, Why does the people week? and they tell him the words of the men of Jabis.
[6] καὶ ἐφήλατο πνεῦμα κυρίου ἐπὶ Σαουλ, ὡς ἤκουσεν τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα, καὶ ἐθυμώθη ἐπ’ αὐτοὺς ὀργὴ αὐτοῦ σφόδρα.
[6] And the Spirit of the Lord came upon Saul when he heard these words, and his anger was greatly kindled against them.
[7] καὶ ἔλαβεν δύο βόας καὶ ἐμέλισεν αὐτὰς καὶ ἀπέστειλεν εἰς πᾶν ὅριον Ισραηλ ἐν χειρὶ ἀγγέλων λέγων Ὃς οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκπορευόμενος ὀπίσω Σαουλ καὶ ὀπίσω Σαμουηλ, κατὰ τάδε ποιήσουσιν τοῖς βουσὶν αὐτοῦ. καὶ ἐπῆλθεν ἔκστασις κυρίου ἐπὶ τὸν λαὸν Ισραηλ, καὶ ἐβόησαν ὡς ἀνὴρ εἷς.
[7] And he took two cows, and cut them in pieces, and sent them into all the coasts of Israel by the hand of messengers, saying, Whoso comes not forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall they do to his oxen: and a transport from the Lord came upon the people of Israel, and they came out to battle as one man.
[8] καὶ ἐπισκέπτεται αὐτοὺς Αβιεζεκ ἐν Βαμα, πᾶν ἄνδρα Ισραηλ ἑξακοσίας χιλιάδας καὶ ἄνδρας Ιουδα ἑβδομήκοντα χιλιάδας.
[8] And he reviews them at Bezec in Bama, every man of Israel six hundred thousand, and the men of Juda seventy thousand.
[9] καὶ εἶπεν τοῖς ἀγγέλοις τοῖς ἐρχομένοις Τάδε ἐρεῖτε τοῖς ἀνδράσιν Ιαβις Αὔριον ὑμῖν ἡ σωτηρία διαθερμάναντος τοῦ ἡλίου. καὶ ἦλθον οἱ ἄγγελοι εἰς τὴν πόλιν καὶ ἀπαγγέλλουσιν τοῖς ἀνδράσιν Ιαβις, καὶ εὐφράνθησαν.
[9] And he said to the messengers that came, Thus shall ye say to the men of Jabis, To-morrow ye shall have deliverance when the sun is hot; and the messengers came to the city, and told the men of Jabis, and they rejoiced.
[10] καὶ εἶπαν οἱ ἄνδρες Ιαβις πρὸς Ναας τὸν Αμμανίτην Αὔριον ἐξελευσόμεθα πρὸς ὑμᾶς, καὶ ποιήσετε ἡμῖν τὸ ἀγαθὸν ἐνώπιον ὑμῶν.
[10] And the men of Jabis said to Naas the Ammanite, To-morrow we will come forth to you, and ye shall do to us what seems good in your sight.
[11] καὶ ἐγενήθη μετὰ τὴν αὔριον καὶ ἔθετο Σαουλ τὸν λαὸν εἰς τρεῖς ἀρχάς, καὶ εἰσπορεύονται μέσον τῆς παρεμβολῆς ἐν φυλακῇ τῇ πρωινῇ καὶ ἔτυπτον τοὺς υἱοὺς Αμμων, ἕως διεθερμάνθη ἡ ἡμέρα, καὶ ἐγενήθησαν οἱ ὑπολελειμμένοι διεσπάρησαν, καὶ οὐχ ὑπελείφθησαν ἐν αὐτοῖς δύο κατὰ τὸ αὐτό.
[11] And it came to pass on the morrow, that Saul divided the people into three companies, and they go into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and they smote the children of Ammon until the day was hot; at it came to pass that those who were left were scattered, and there were not left among them two together.
[12] καὶ εἶπεν ὁ λαὸς πρὸς Σαμουηλ Τίς ὁ εἴπας ὅτι Σαουλ οὐ βασιλεύσει ἡμῶν; παράδος τοὺς ἄνδρας, καὶ θανατώσομεν αὐτούς.
[12] And the people said to Samue
l, Who has said that Saul shall not reign over us? Give up the men, and we will put them to death.
[13] καὶ εἶπεν Σαουλ Οὐκ ἀποθανεῖται οὐδεὶς ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ταύτῃ, ὅτι σήμερον κύριος ἐποίησεν σωτηρίαν ἐν Ισραηλ.
[13] And Saul said, No man shall die this day, for to-day the Lord has wrought deliverance in Israel.
[14] Καὶ εἶπεν Σαμουηλ πρὸς τὸν λαὸν λέγων Πορευθῶμεν εἰς Γαλγαλα καὶ ἐγκαινίσωμεν ἐκεῖ τὴν βασιλείαν.
[14] And Samuel spoke to the people, saying, Let us go to Galgala, and there renew the kingdom.
[15] καὶ ἐπορεύθη πᾶς ὁ λαὸς εἰς Γαλγαλα, καὶ ἔχρισεν Σαμουηλ ἐκεῖ τὸν Σαουλ εἰς βασιλέα ἐνώπιον κυρίου ἐν Γαλγαλοις καὶ ἔθυσεν ἐκεῖ θυσίας καὶ εἰρηνικὰς ἐνώπιον κυρίου· καὶ εὐφράνθη Σαμουηλ καὶ πᾶς Ισραηλ ὥστε λίαν.
[15] And all the people went to Galgala, and Samuel anointed Saul there to be king before the Lord in Galgala, and there he offered meat-offerings and peace-offerings before the Lord: and Samuel and all Israel rejoiced exceedingly.
CHAPTER 12
[1] Καὶ εἶπεν Σαμουηλ πρὸς πάντα ἄνδρα Ισραηλ Ἰδοὺ ἤκουσα φωνῆς ὑμῶν εἰς πάντα, ὅσα εἴπατέ μοι, καὶ ἐβασίλευσα ἐφ’ ὑμᾶς βασιλέα.
[1] And Samuel said to all Israel, Behold, I have hearkened to your voice in all things that ye have said to me, and I have set a king over you.
[2] καὶ νῦν ἰδοὺ ὁ βασιλεὺς διαπορεύεται ἐνώπιον ὑμῶν, κἀγὼ γεγήρακα καὶ καθήσομαι, καὶ οἱ υἱοί μου ἰδοὺ ἐν ὑμῖν· κἀγὼ ἰδοὺ διελήλυθα ἐνώπιον ὑμῶν ἐκ νεότητός μου καὶ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης.
