And Saul chooses for himself three thousand men of the men of Israel:

ΚΑΙ ἐκλέγεται ἑαυτῷ Σαοὺλ τρεῖς χιλιάδας ἀνδρῶν ἐκ τῶν ἀνδρῶν ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ ἦσαν μετὰ Σαοὺλ δισχίλιοι οἱ ἐν Μαχμάς, καὶ ἐν τῷ ὄρει Βαιθήλ, καὶ χίλιοι ἦσαν μετὰ ᾿Ιωνάθαν ἐν Γαβαὰ τοῦ Βενιαμίν, καὶ τὸ κατάλοιπον τοῦ λαοῦ ἐξαπέστειλεν ἕκαστον εἰς τὸ σκήνωμα αὐτοῦ.

Сы́нъ є҆ди́нагѡ лѣ́та саꙋ́лъ, є҆гда̀ нача̀ ца́рствовати, и҆ два̀ лѣ̑та ца́рствова над̾ і҆и҃лемъ.

2

and there were with Saul two thousand who were in Machmas, and in mount Baethel, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gabaa of Benjamin: and he sent the rest of the people every man to his tent.

И҆ и҆збра̀ себѣ̀ саꙋ́лъ трѝ ты́сѧщы мꙋже́й ѿ мꙋже́й і҆и҃левыхъ, и҆ бы́ша съ саꙋ́ломъ двѣ̀ ты́сѧщы въ махма́сѣ и҆ въ горѣ̀ веѳи́ли, и҆ ты́сѧща бѣ́ша со і҆ѡнаѳа́номъ въ гаваѝ венїамі́новѣ: и҆ ѡ҆ста́нокъ люді́й ѿпꙋстѝ коего́ждо во своѧ̑ селє́нїѧ.

3

And Jonathan smote Nasib the Philistine that dwelt in the hill; and the Philistines hear of it, and Saul sounds the trumpet through all the land, saying, The servants have despised [us].

καὶ ἐπάταξεν ᾿Ιωνάθαν τὸν Νασὶβ τὸν ἀλλόφυλον τὸν ἐν τῷ βουνῷ· καὶ ἀκούουσιν οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι. καὶ Σαοὺλ σάλπιγγι σαλπίζει εἰς πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν λέγων· ἠθετήκασιν οἱ δοῦλοι.

И҆ поразѝ і҆ѡнаѳа́нъ насі́ва и҆ноплеме́нника и҆́же въ хо́лмѣ. И҆ ᲂу҆слы́шаша и҆ноплемє́нницы, и҆ саꙋ́лъ вострꙋбѝ трꙋбо́ю во всю̀ зе́млю, глаго́лѧ: ѿверго́шасѧ рабѝ {Є҆вр.: да ᲂу҆слы́шатъ є҆вре́є.}.

4

And all Israel heard say, Saul has smitten Nasib the Philistine; now Israel had been put to shame before the Philistines; and the children of Israel went up after Saul in Galgala.

καὶ πᾶς ᾿Ισραὴλ ἤκουσε λεγόντων· πέπαικε Σαοὺλ τὸν Νασὶβ τὸν ἀλλόφυλον, καὶ ᾐσχύνθησαν ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐν τοῖς ἀλλοφύλοις. καὶ ἀνέβησαν οἱ υἱοὶ ᾿Ισραὴλ ὀπίσω Σαοὺλ ἐν Γαλγάλοις.

И҆ слы́ша ве́сь і҆и҃ль глаго́лющихъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ поразѝ саꙋ́лъ насі́ва и҆ноплеме́нника, и҆ ѡ҆мерзѣ̀ і҆и҃ль во и҆ноплеме́нницѣхъ. И҆ собра́шасѧ лю́дїе в̾слѣ́дъ саꙋ́ла въ галга́лѣхъ.

5

And the Philistines gather together to war with Israel; and then come up against Israel thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand by the seashore for multitude: and they come up, and encamp in Machmas, opposite Baethoron southward.

καὶ οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι συνάγονται εἰς πόλεμον ἐπὶ ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ ἀναβαίνουσιν ἐπὶ ᾿Ισραὴλ τριάκοντα χιλιάδες ἁρμάτων καὶ ἓξ χιλιάδες ἱππέων καὶ λαὸς ὡς ἡ ἄμμος ἡ παρὰ τὴν θάλασσαν τῷ πλήθει· καὶ ἀναβαίνουσι καὶ παρεμβάλλουσιν ἐν Μαχμὰς ἐξ ἐναντίας Βαιθωρὼν κατὰ νότου.

И҆ и҆ноплемє́нницы собра́шасѧ на бра́нь на і҆и҃лѧ: и҆ прїидо́ша на і҆и҃лѧ три́десѧть ты́сѧщъ колесни́цъ и҆ ше́сть ты́сѧщъ кѡ́нникъ и҆ мно́жество люді́й, ꙗ҆́кѡ песо́къ и҆́же при мо́ри: и҆ ше́дше ѡ҆полчи́шасѧ въ махма́сѣ проти́вꙋ веѳѡрѡ́нꙋ на ю҆́гъ {Є҆вр.: къ восто́кꙋ.}.

6

And the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait so that they could not draw nigh, and the people hid themselves in caves, and sheepfolds, and rocks, and ditches, and pits.

καὶ ἀνὴρ ᾿Ισραὴλ εἶδεν ὅτι στενῶς αὐτῷ μὴ προσάγειν αὐτόν, καὶ ἐκρύβη ὁ λαὸς ἐν τοῖς σπηλαίοις καὶ ἐν ταῖς μάνδραις καὶ ἐν ταῖς πέτραις καὶ ἐν τοῖς βόθροις καὶ ἐν τοῖς λάκκοις,

И҆ ви́дѣша мꙋ́жїе і҆и҃лєвы, ꙗ҆́кѡ не мого́ша проти́вꙋ ста́ти, и҆ скры́шасѧ лю́дїе въ верте́пѣхъ и҆ въ ѡ҆гра́дѣхъ и҆ въ ка́менїихъ и҆ въ про́пастехъ и҆ во рва́хъ:

7

And they that went over went over Jordan to the land of Gad and Galaad: and Saul was yet in Galgala, and all the people followed after him in amazement.

καὶ οἱ διαβαίνοντες διέβησαν τὸν ᾿Ιορδάνην εἰς γῆν Γὰδ καὶ Γαλαάδ. καὶ Σαοὺλ ἔτι ἦν ἐν Γαλγάλοις, καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἐξέστη ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ.

и҆ преходѧ́ще преидо́ша і҆ѻрда́нъ въ зе́млю га́довꙋ и҆ галаа́дскꙋ. И҆ саꙋ́лъ бѧ́ше є҆щѐ въ галга́лѣхъ, и҆ всѝ лю́дїе ᲂу҆жасо́шасѧ, и҆̀же бѧ́хꙋ съ ни́мъ.

8

And he continued seven days for the appointed testimony, as Samuel told him, and Samuel came not to Galgala, and his people were dispersed from him.

καὶ διέλιπεν ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας τῷ μαρτυρίῳ, ὡς εἶπε Σαμουὴλ, καὶ οὐ παρεγένετο Σαμουὴλ εἰς Γάλγαλα, καὶ διεσπάρη ὁ λαὸς αὐτοῦ ἀπ᾿ αὐτοῦ.

И҆ жда́ше се́дмь дні́й по свидѣ́тельствꙋ, ꙗ҆́коже речѐ самꙋи́лъ, и҆ не прїи́де самꙋи́лъ въ галга́лы: и҆ разсѣ́ѧшасѧ лю́дїе є҆гѡ̀ ѿ негѡ̀.

9

And Saul said, Bring hither [victims], that I may offer whole-burnt-offerings and peace-offerings: and he offered the whole-burnt-offering.

καὶ εἶπε Σαούλ· προσαγάγετε, ὅπως ποιήσω ὁλοκαύτωσιν καὶ εἰρηνικάς· καὶ ἀνήνεγκε τὴν ὁλοκαύτωσιν.

И҆ речѐ саꙋ́лъ: приведи́те, ꙗ҆́кѡ да сотворю̀ всесожже́нїе и҆ ми̑рнаѧ. И҆ вознесѐ всесожже́нїе.

10

And it came to pass when he had finished offering the whole-burnt-offering, that Samuel arrived, and Saul went out to meet him, [and] to bless him.

καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς συνετέλεσεν ἀναφέρων τὴν ὁλοκαύτωσιν, καὶ Σαμουὴλ παραγίνεται· καὶ ἐξῆλθε Σαοὺλ εἰς ἀπάντησιν αὐτοῦ εὐλογῆσαι αὐτόν.

И҆ бы́сть є҆гда̀ совершѝ возносѧ̀ всесожже́нїе, и҆ сѐ, самꙋи́лъ прїи́де: и҆ саꙋ́лъ и҆зы́де на срѣ́тенїе є҆мꙋ̀ благослови́тисѧ и҆́мъ.

11

And Samuel said, What hast thou done? and Saul said, Because I saw how the people were scattered from me, and thou was not present as thou purposedst according to the set time of the days, and the Philistines were gathered to Machmas.

καὶ εἶπε Σαμουήλ· τί πεποίηκας; καὶ εἶπε Σαούλ· ὅτι εἶδον ὡς διεσπάρη ὁ λαὸς ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ καὶ σὺ οὐ παρεγένου ὡς διετάξω ἐν τῷ μαρτυρίῳ τῶν ἡμερῶν, καὶ οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι συνήχθησαν εἰς Μαχμάς,

И҆ речѐ самꙋи́лъ: что̀ сотвори́лъ є҆сѝ; И҆ речѐ саꙋ́лъ: ви́дѣхъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿидо́ша лю́дїе ѿ менє̀, и҆ ты̀ не прише́лъ є҆сѝ, ꙗ҆́коже ѡ҆предѣли́лъ є҆сѝ свидѣ́тельствомъ дні́й, и҆ноплемє́нницы же собра́шасѧ въ махма́съ,

12

Then I said, Now will the Philistines come down to me to Galgala, and I have not sought the face of the Lord: so I forced myself and offered the whole-burnt-offering.

καὶ εἶπα· νῦν καταβήσονται οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι πρός με εἰς Γάλγαλα καὶ τοῦ προσώπου τοῦ Κυρίου οὐκ ἐδεήθην· καὶ ἐνεκρατευσάμην καὶ ἀνήνεγκα τὴν ὁλοκαύτωσιν.

и҆ рѣ́хъ: нн҃ѣ прїи́дꙋтъ и҆ноплемє́нницы ко мнѣ̀ въ галга́лы, и҆ лица̀ гдⷭ҇нѧ не ᲂу҆моли́хъ: и҆ не ᲂу҆держа́хсѧ, и҆ вознесо́хъ всесожже́нїе.

13

And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly; for thou hast not kept my command, which the Lord commanded thee, as now the Lord would have confirmed thy kingdom over Israel for ever.

καὶ εἶπε Σαμουὴλ πρὸς Σαούλ· μεματαίωταί σοι, ὅτι οὐκ ἐφύλαξας τὴν ἐντολήν μου, ἣν ἐνετείλατό σοι Κύριος, ὡς νῦν ἡτοίμασε Κύριος τὴν βασιλείαν σου ἐπὶ ᾿Ισραὴλ ἕως αἰῶνος·

И҆ речѐ самꙋи́лъ къ саꙋ́лꙋ: безꙋ́мїе бы́сть тебѣ̀, поне́же не сохрани́лъ є҆сѝ за́повѣди моеѧ̀ {Є҆вр.: гдⷭ҇а бг҃а твоегѡ̀.}, ю҆́же заповѣ́да тѝ гдⷭ҇ь: ꙗ҆́кѡ нн҃ѣ ᲂу҆гото́валъ бы гдⷭ҇ь ца́рство твоѐ во і҆и҃ли до вѣ́ка:

14

But now thy kingdom shall not stand to thee, and the Lord shall seek for himself a man after his own heart; and the Lord shall appoint him to be a ruler over his people, because thou hast not kept all that the Lord commanded thee.

καὶ νῦν ἡ βασιλεία σου οὐ στήσεταί σοι, καὶ ζητήσει Κύριος ἑαυτῷ ἄνθρωπον κατὰ τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐντελεῖται Κύριος αὐτῷ εἰς ἄρχοντα ἐπὶ τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ, ὅτι οὐκ ἐφύλαξας ὅσα ἐνετείλατό σοι Κύριος.

и҆ нн҃ѣ ца́рство твоѐ не ста́нетъ тебѣ̀, и҆ и҆зы́щетъ гдⷭ҇ь себѣ̀ человѣ́ка по се́рдцꙋ своемꙋ̀, и҆ повели́тъ є҆мꙋ̀ гдⷭ҇ь властели́нꙋ бы́ти над̾ людьмѝ свои́ми, ꙗ҆́кѡ не сохрани́лъ є҆сѝ, є҆ли̑ка заповѣ́да тебѣ̀ гдⷭ҇ь.

15

And Samuel arose, and departed from Galgala, and the remnant of the people went after Saul to meet [him] after the men of war, when they had come out of Galgala to Gabaa of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people that were found with him, about six hundred men.

καὶ ἀνέστη Σαμουὴλ καὶ ἀπῆλθεν ἐκ Γαλγάλων εἰς ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὸ κατάλειμμα τοῦ λαοῦ ἀνέβη ὀπίσω Σαοὺλ εἰς ἀπάντησιν ὀπίσω τοῦ λαοῦ τοῦ πολεμιστοῦ. αὐτῶν παραγενομένων ἐκ Γαλγάλων εἰς Γαβαὰ Βενιαμὶν καὶ ἐπεσκέψατο Σαοὺλ τὸν λαὸν τὸν εὑρεθέντα μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ ὡς ἑξακοσίους ἄνδρας.

И҆ воста̀ самꙋи́лъ и҆ и҆́де ѿ галга́лъ въ пꙋ́ть сво́й: и҆ ѡ҆ста́нокъ люді́й и҆до́ша в̾слѣ́дъ саꙋ́ла на срѣ́тенїе лю́демъ ра̑тнымъ. И҆̀мже приходѧ́щымъ ѿ галга́лъ въ гаваю̀ венїамі́новꙋ, и҆ сочтѐ саꙋ́лъ лю́ди ѡ҆брѣ́тшыѧсѧ съ ни́мъ ꙗ҆́кѡ ше́сть сѡ́тъ мꙋже́й.

16

And Saul and Jonathan his son, and the people that were found with them, halted in Gabaa, of Benjamin; and they wept: and the Philistines had encamped in Machmas.

καὶ Σαοὺλ καὶ ᾿Ιωνάθαν υἱὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ὁ λαὸς οἱ εὑρεθέντες μετ᾿ αὐτῶν ἐκάθισαν ἐν Γαβαὰ Βενιαμὶν καὶ ἔκλαιον, καὶ οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι παρεμβεβλήκεισαν ἐν Μαχμάς.

Саꙋ́лъ же и҆ і҆ѡнаѳа́нъ сы́нъ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ лю́дїе ѡ҆брѣ́тшїисѧ съ ни́ми сѣдо́ша въ гаваѝ венїамі́новѣ и҆ пла́кашасѧ: и҆ноплемє́нницы же ѡ҆полчи́шасѧ въ махма́сѣ.

17

And men came forth to destroy out of the land of the Philistines in three companies; one company turning by the way of Gophera toward the land of Sogal,

καὶ ἐξῆλθε διαφθείρων ἐξ ἀγροῦ ἀλλοφύλων τρισὶν ἀρχαῖς· ἡ ἀρχὴ ἡ μία ἐπιβλέπουσα ὁδὸν Γοφερὰ ἐπὶ γῆν Σωγάλ,

И҆ и҆зыдо́ша гꙋбѧ́щїи ѿ села̀ и҆ноплеме́нникѡвъ тремѧ̀ нача́лы: нача́ло є҆ди́но зрѧ́щее пꙋ́ть гофера̀ на зе́млю сѡва́лю:

18

and another company turning the way of Baethoron, and another company turning by the way of Gabae that turns aside to Gai of Sabim.

καὶ ἡ ἀρχὴ ἡ μία ἐπιβλέπουσα ὁδὸν Βαιθωρών, καὶ ἡ ἀρχὴ ἡ μία ἐπιβλέπουσα ὁδὸν Γαβαὲ τὴν εἰσκύπτουσαν ἐπὶ Γαὶ τὴν Σαβίμ.

и҆ нача́ло є҆ди́но зрѧ́щее пꙋ́ть веѳѡрѡ́нь: и҆ нача́ло є҆ди́но зрѧ́щее пꙋ́ть гаваѝ, клонѧ́щїйсѧ къ гаїсаві́мъ пꙋсты́ни.

19

And there was not found a smith in all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make themselves sword or spear.

καὶ τέκτων σιδήρου οὐχ εὑρίσκετο ἐν πάσῃ γῇ ᾿Ισραήλ, ὅτι εἶπον οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι· μὴ ποιήσωσιν οἱ ῾Εβραῖοι ῥομφαίαν καὶ δόρυ.

И҆ кова́чь желѣ́за не ѡ҆брѣта́шесѧ во все́й землѝ і҆и҃левѣ, ꙗ҆́кѡ рѣ́ша и҆ноплемє́нницы, да не сотворѧ́тъ є҆вре́є меча̀ и҆ копїѧ̀.

20

And all Israel went down to the land of the Philistines to forge every one his reaping-hook and his tool, and every one his axe and his sickle.

καὶ κατέβαινον πᾶς ᾿Ισραὴλ εἰς γῆν ἀλλοφύλων χαλκεύειν ἕκαστος τὸ θέριστρον αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸ σκεῦος αὐτοῦ καὶ ἕκαστος τὴν ἀξίνην αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸ δρέπανον αὐτοῦ.

И҆ хожда́хꙋ всѝ сы́нове і҆и҃лєвы въ зе́млю и҆ноплеме́нничꙋ кова́ти кі́йждо своѧ̑ кѡ́сы и҆ ѻ҆рꙋ̑дїѧ своѧ̑, и҆ кі́йждо сѣки̑ры своѧ̑ и҆ серпы̀ своѧ̑.

21

And it was near the time of vintage: and their tools were [valued at] three shekels for a plough-share, and there was the same rate for the axe and the sickle.

καὶ ἦν ὁ τρυγητὸς ἕτοιμος τοῦ θερίζειν· τὰ δὲ σκεύη ἦν τρεῖς σίκλοι εἰς τὸν ὀδόντα, καὶ τῇ ἀξίνῃ καὶ τῷ δρεπάνῳ ὑπόστασις ἦν ἡ αὐτή.

И҆ притꙋпи́шасѧ всѧ̑ ѻ҆рꙋ̑дїѧ приспѣ́вшей жа́твѣ, сѣки̑ры и҆ серпы̀, поправле́нїѧ же и҆́ма не бы́сть.

22

And it came to pass in the days of the war of Machmas, that there was not a sword or spear found in the hand of all the people, that were with Saul and Jonathan; but with Saul and Jonathan his son was there found.

καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις τοῦ πολέμου Μαχμὰς καὶ οὐχ εὑρέθη ρομφαία καὶ δόρυ ἐν χειρὶ παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ τοῦ μετὰ Σαοὺλ καὶ μετὰ ᾿Ιωνάθαν, καὶ εὑρέθη τῷ Σαοὺλ καὶ τῷ ᾿Ιωνάθαν υἱῷ αὐτοῦ.

И҆ бы́сть во дни̑ бра́ни махма́сскїѧ, и҆ не ѡ҆брѣ́тесѧ меча̀ и҆ копїѧ̀ въ рꙋка́хъ всѣ́хъ люді́й, и҆̀же съ саꙋ́ломъ и҆ со і҆ѡнаѳа́номъ: то́чїю ᲂу҆ саꙋ́ла и҆ і҆ѡнаѳа́на сы́на є҆гѡ̀.

23

And there went out some from the camp of the Philistines to the place beyond Machmas.

καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἐξ ὑποστάσεως τῶν ἀλλοφύλων τὴν ἐν τῷ πέραν Μαχμάς.

И҆ и҆зыдо́ша ѿ ста́на и҆ноплеме́ннича ѡ҆б̾ ѻ҆нꙋ̀ странꙋ̀ махма́са.
