1 Chronicles 14

Παραλειπομένων Α´

1 ΚΑΙ ἀπέστειλε Χιρὰμ βασιλεὺς Τύρου ἀγγέλους πρὸς Δαυὶδ καὶ ξύλα κέδρινα καὶ οἰκοδόμους καὶ τέκτονας ξύλων τοῦ οἰκοδομῆσαι αὐτῷ οἶκον.

And Chiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar timbers, and masons, and carpenters, to build a house for him.

2 καὶ ἔγνω Δαυὶδ ὅτι ἡτοίμασεν αὐτὸν Κύριος εἰς βασιλέα ἐπὶ Ἰσραήλ, ὅτι ηὐξήθη εἰς ὕψος ἡ βασιλεία αὐτοῦ διὰ τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ Ἰσραήλ.

And David knew that the Lord [had] designed him to be king over Israel; because his kingdom was highly exalted, on account of his people Israel.

3 Καὶ ἔλαβε Δαυὶδ ἔτι γυναῖκας ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ, καὶ ἐτέχθησαν Δαυὶδ ἔτι υἱοὶ καὶ θυγατέρες.

And David took more wives in Jerusalem: and there were born to David more sons and daughters.

4 καὶ ταῦτα τὰ ὀνόματα αὐτῶν τῶν τεχθέντων, οἳ ἦσαν αὐτῷ ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ· Σαμαά, Σωβάβ, Νάθαν καὶ Σαλωμὼν

And these [are] the names of those that were born, who were [born] to him in Jerusalem; Samaa, Sobab, Nathan, and Solomon,

5 καὶ Ἰβαὰρ καὶ Ἐλισαὲ καὶ Ἐλιφαλὲτ

and Baar, and Elisa, and Eliphaleth,

6 καὶ Ναγὲθ καὶ Ναφὰγ καὶ Ἰαφιὲ

and Nageth, and Naphath, and Japhie,

7 καὶ Ἐλισαμαὲ καὶ Ἐλιαδὲ καὶ Ἐλιφαλέτ.

and Elisamae, and Eliade, and Eliphala.

8 Καὶ ἤκουσαν ἀλλόφυλοι ὅτι ἐχρίσθη Δαυὶδ βασιλεὺς ἐπὶ πάντα Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἀνέβησαν πάντες οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι ζητῆσαι τὸν Δαυίδ· καὶ ἤκουσε Δαυὶδ καὶ ἐξῆλθεν εἰς ἀπάντησιν αὐτοῖς.

And the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel: and all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard [it], and went out to meet them.

9 καὶ ἀλλόφυλοι ἦλθον καὶ συνέπεσον ἐν τῇ κοιλάδι τῶν γιγάντων.

And the Philistines came and assembled together in the giants' valley.

10 καὶ ἐπηρώτησε Δαυὶδ διὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ λέγων· εἰ ἀναβῶ ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους καὶ δώσεις αὐτοὺς εἰς τὰς χεῖράς μου; καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Κύριος· ἀνάβηθι, καὶ δώσω αὐτοὺς εἰς τὰς χεῖράς σου.

And David enquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and will you deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said to him, Go up, and I will deliver them into your hands.

11 καὶ ἀνέβη εἰς Βαὰλ Φαρασὶν καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτοὺς ἐκεῖ Δαυίδ· καὶ εἶπε Δαυίδ· διέκοψεν ὁ Θεὸς τοὺς ἐχθρούς μου ἐν χειρί μου ὡς διακοπὴν ὕδατος· διὰ τοῦτο ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου Διακοπὴ Φαρασίν.

And he went up to Baal Pharasin, and David struck them there; and David said, God has broken through enemies by my hand like a breach of water: therefore he called the name of that place, the Breach of Pharasin.

12 καὶ ἐγκατέλιπον ἐκεῖ τοὺς θεοὺς αὐτῶν οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι, καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ κατακαῦσαι αὐτοὺς ἐν πυρί.

And the Philistines left their gods there; and David gave orders to burn them with fire.

13 καὶ προσέθεντο ἔτι ἀλλόφυλοι καὶ συνέπεσαν ἔτι ἐν τῇ κοιλάδι τῶν γιγάντων.

And the Philistines once more assembled themselves in the giants' valley.

14 καὶ ἠρώτησε Δαυὶδ ἔτι ἐν Θεῷ, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ Θεός· οὐ πορεύσῃ ὀπίσω αὐτῶν, ἀποστρέφου ἀπ᾿ αὐτῶν καὶ παρέσῃ αὐτοῖς πλησίον τῶν ἀπίων·

And David enquired of God again; and God said to him, You shall not go after them; turn away from them, and you shall come upon them near the pear trees.

15 καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῷ ἀκοῦσαί σε τὴν φωνὴν τοῦ συσσεισμοῦ τῶν ἄκρων τῶν ἀπίων, τότε εἰσελεύσῃ εἰς τὸν πόλεμον, ὅτι ἐξῆλθεν ὁ Θεὸς ἔμπροσθέν σου τοῦ πατάξαι τὴν παρεμβολὴν τῶν ἀλλοφύλων.

And it shall be, when you shall hear the sound of their tumult in the tops of the pear trees, then you shall go into the battle: for God has gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines.

16 καὶ ἐποίησε καθὼς ἐνετείλατο αὐτῷ ὁ Θεός, καὶ ἐπάταξε τὴν παρεμβολὴν τῶν ἀλλοφύλων ἀπὸ Γαβαὼν ἕως Γαζηρά.

And he did as God commanded him: and he struck the army of the Philistines from Gabaon to Gazera.

17 καὶ ἐγένετο ὄνομα Δαυὶδ ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ, καὶ Κύριος ἔδωκε τὸν φόβον αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη.

And the name of David was [famous] in all the land; and the Lord put the terror of him on all the nations.
