1Now it came to pass one day that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man that bore his armour: Come, and let us go over to the garrison of the Philistines, which is on the other side of yonder place. But he told not this to his father.Et accidit quadam die ut diceret Ionathas filius Saul ad adolescentem armigerum suum: Veni, et transeamus ad stationem Philisthinorum, quae est trans locum illum. Patri autem suo hoc ipsum non indicavit.Καὶ γίνεται ἡ ἡμέρα, καὶ εἶπεν Ἰωνάθαν υἱὸς Σαοὺλ τῷ παιδαρίῳ τῷ αἴροντι τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ, δεῦρο, καὶ διαβῶμεν εἰς Μεσσὰβ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων τὴν ἐν τῷ πέραν ἐκείνῳ· καὶ τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἀπήγγειλε.
2And Saul abode in the uttermost part of Gabaa under the pomegranate tree, which was in Magron: and the people with him were about six hundred men.Porro Saul morabatur in extrema parte Gabaa sub malogranato, quae erat in Magron: et erat populus cum eo quasi sexcentorum virorum.Καὶ Σαοὺλ ἐκάθητο ἐπʼ ἄκρου τοῦ βουνοῦ ὑπὸ τὴν ῥοὰν τὴν ἐν Μαγδὼν, καὶ ἦσαν μετʼ αὐτοῦ ὡς ἑξακόσιοι ἄνδρες.
3And Achias the son of Achitob brother to Ichabod the son of Phinees, the son of Heli the priest of the Lord in Silo, wore the ephod. And the people knew not whither Jonathan was gone.Et Achias filius Achitob fratris Ichabod filii Phinees, qui ortus fuerat ex Heli sacerdote Domini in Silo, portabat ephod. Sed et populus ignorabat quo isset Ionathas.Καὶ ʼΑχιὰ υἱὸς ʼΑχιτὼβ ἀδελφοῦ Ἰωχαβὴλ υἱοῦ Φινεὲς υἱοῦ Ἡλὶ ἱερεὺς τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐν Σηλὼμ αἴρων ἐφούδ· καὶ ὁ λαὸς οὐκ ᾔδει ὅτι πεπόρευται Ἰωνάθαν.
4Now there were between the ascents, by which Jonathan sought to go over to the garrison of the Philistines, rocks standing up on both sides, and steep cliffs like teeth on the one side, and on the other, the name of the one was Boses, and the name of the other was Sene:Erant autem inter ascensus per quos nitebatur Ionathas transire ad stationem Philisthinorum, eminentes petrae ex utraque parte, et quasi in modum dentium scopuli hinc et inde praerupti: nomen uni Boses, et nomen alteri Sene:Καὶ ἀναμέσον τῆς διαβάσεως οὗ ἐζήτει Ἰωνάθαν διαβῆναι εἰς τὴν ὑπόστασιν τῶν ἀλλοφύλων, καὶ ὀδοὺς πέτρας ἐκ τούτου, καὶ ὀδοὺς πέτρας ἐκ τούτου· ὄνομα τῷ ἑνὶ Βασὲς, καὶ ὄνομα τῷ ἄλλῳ Σεννά.
5One rock stood out towards the north over against Machmas, and the other to the south over against Gabaa.unus scopulus prominens ad aquilonem ex adverso Machmas, et alter ad meridiem contra Gabaa.Ἡ ὁδὸς ἡ μία ἀπὸ Βοῤῥᾶ ἐρχομένῳ Μαχμάς, καὶ ἡ ὁδὸς ἡ ἄλλη ἀπὸ Νότου ἐρχομένῳ Γαβαέ.
6And Jonathan said to the young man that bore his armour: Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised, it may be the Lord will do for us, because it is easy for the Lord to save either by many, or by few.Dixit autem Ionathas ad adolescentem armigerum suum: Veni, transeamus ad stationem incircumcisorum horum, si forte faciat Dominus pro nobis: quia non est Domino difficile salvare, vel in multis, vel in paucis.Καὶ εἶπεν Ἰωνάθαν πρὸς τὸ παιδάριον τὸ αἶρον τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ, δεῦρο, διαβῶμεν εἰς Μεσσὰβ τῶν ἀπεριτμήτων τούτων, εἴ τι ποιήσαι Κύριος ἡμῖν, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστι τῷ Κυρίῳ συνεχόμενον σώζειν ἐν πολλοῖς ἢ ἐν ὀλίγοις.
7And his armourbearer said to him: Do all that pleaseth thy mind: go whither thou wilt, and I will be with thee wheresoever thou hast a mind.Dixitque ei armiger suus: Fac omnia quae placent animo tuo: perge quo cupis, et ero tecum ubicumque volueris.Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ αἴρων τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ, ποίει πᾶν ὃ ἐὰν ἡ καρδία σου ἐκκλίνῃ· ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ μετὰ σοῦ, ὡς ἡ καρδία σον καρδία μοῦ.
8And Jonathan said: Behold we will go over to these men. And when we shall be seen by them,Et ait Ionathas: Ecce nos transimus ad viros istos. Cumque apparuerimus eis,Καὶ εἶπεν Ἰωνάθαν, ἰδοὺ ἡμεὶς διαβαίνομεν πρὸς τοὺς ἄνδρας, καὶ κατακυλισθησόμεθα πρὸς αὐτούς·
9If they shall speak thus to us: Stay till we come to you: let us stand still in our place, and not go up to them.si taliter locuti fuerint ad nos: Manete donec veniamus ad vos: stemus in loco nostro, nec ascendamus ad eos.Ἐὰν τάδε εἴπωσι πρὸς ἡμᾶς, ἀπόστητε ἐκεῖ ἕως ἂν ἀπαγγείλωμεν ὑμῖν· καἰ στησόμεθα ἐφʼ ἑαυτοῖς, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀναβῶμεν ἐπʼ αὐτούς.
10But if they shall say: Come up to us: let us go up, because the Lord hath delivered them into our hands, this shall be a sign unto us.Si autem dixerint: Ascendite ad nos: ascendamus, quia tradidit eos Dominus in manibus nostris: hoc erit nobis signum.Ἐὰν τάδε εἴπωσι πρὸς ἡμᾶς, ἀνάβητε πρὸς ἡμᾶς· καὶ ἀναβησόμεθα, ὅτι παραδέδωκεν αὐτοὺς Κύριος εἰς χεῖρας ἡμῶν· τοῦτο ἡμῖν τὸ σημεῖον.
11So both of them discovered themselves to the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines said: Behold the Hebrews come forth out of the holes wherein they were hid.Apparuit igitur uterque stationi Philisthinorum: dixeruntque Philisthiim: En Hebraei egrediuntur de cavernis in quibus absconditi fuerant.Καὶ εἰσῆλθον ἀμφότεροι εἰς Μεσσὰβ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων· καὶ λέγουσιν οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι, ἰδοὺ Ἐβραῖοι ἐκπορεύονται ἐκ τῶν τρωγλῶν αὐτῶν, οὗ ἐκρύβησαν ἐκεῖ.
12And the men of the garrison spoke to Jonathan, and to his armourbearer, and said: Come up to us, and we will shew you a thing. And Jonathan said to his armourbearer: Let us go up, follow me: for the Lord hath delivered them into the hands of Israel.Et locuti sunt viri de statione ad Ionathan et ad armigerum eius, dixeruntque: Ascendite ad nos, et ostendemus vobis rem. Et ait Ionathas ad armigerum suum: Ascendamus: sequere me: tradidit enim Dominus eos in manus Israël.Καὶ ἀπεκρίθησαν οἱ ἄνδρες Μεσσὰβ πρὸς Ἰωνάθαν καὶ πρὸς τὸν αἴροντα τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ, καὶ λέγουσιν, ἀνάβητε πρὸς ἡμᾶς, καὶ γνωριοῦμεν ὑμῖν ῥῆμα· καὶ εἶπεν Ἰωνάθαν πρὸς τὸν αἴροντα τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ, ἀνάβηθι ὀπίσω μου, ὅτι παρέδωκεν αὐτοὺς Κύριος εἰς χεῖρας Ἰσραήλ.
13And Jonathan went up creeping on his hands and feet, and his armourbearer after him. And some fell before Jonathan, others his armourbearer slew as he followed him.Ascendit autem Ionathas manibus et pedibus reptans, et armiger eius post eum. Itaque alii cadebant ante Ionathan, alios armiger eius interficiebat sequens eum.Καὶ ἀνέβη Ἰωνάθὰν ἐπὶ τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὁ αἴρων τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ μετʼ αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐπέβλεψαν κατὰ πρόσωπον Ἰωνάθαν, καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτούς, καὶ ὁ αἴρων τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ ἐπεδίδου ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ.
14And the first slaughter which Jonathan and his armourbearer made, was of about twenty men, within half an acre of land, which a yoke of oxen is wont to plough in a day.Et facta est plaga prima qua percussit Ionathas et armiger eius, quasi viginti virorum in media parte iugeri quam par boum in die arare consuevit.Καὶ ἐγενήθη ἡ πληγὴ ἡ πρώτη, ἣν ἐπάταξεν Ἰωνάθαν καὶ ὁ αἴρων τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ, ὡς εἴκοσι ἄνδρες ἐν βολίσι καὶ ἐν πετροβόλοις καὶ ἐν κόχλαξι τοῦ πεδίου.
15And there was a miracle in the camp, through the fields: yea and all the people of their garrison, who had gone out to plunder, were amazed, and the earth trembled: and it happened as a miracle from God.Et factum est miraculum in castris per agros: sed et omnis populus stationis eorum qui ierant ad praedandum, obstupuit, et conturbata est terra: et accidit quasi miraculum a Deo.Καὶ ἐγενήθη ἔκστασις ἐν τῇ παρεμβολῇ, καὶ ἐν ἀγρῷ· καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαός οἱ ἐν Μεσσὰβ, καὶ οἱ διαφθείροντες ἐξέστησαν, καὶ αὐτοὶ οὐκ ἤθελον ποιεῖν· καὶ ἐθάμβησεν ἡ γῆ, καὶ ἐγενήθη ἔκστασις παρὰ Κυρίου.
16And the watchmen of Saul, who were in Gabaa of Benjamin looked, and behold a multitude overthrown, and fleeing this way and that.Et respexerunt speculatores Saul qui erant in Gabaa Beniamin, et ecce multitudo prostrata, et huc illucque diffugiens.Καὶ εἶδον οἱ σκοποὶ τοῦ Σαοὺλ ἐν Γαβαὰ Βενιαμὶν, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἡ παρεμβολὴ τεταραγμένη ἔνθεν καὶ ἔνθεν.
17And Saul said to the people that were with him: Look, and see who is gone from us. And when they had sought, it was found that Jonathan and his armourbearer were not there.Et ait Saul populo qui erat cum eo: Requirite, et videte quis abierit ex nobis. Cumque requisissent, repertum est non adesse Ionathan et armigerum eius.Καὶ εἶπε Σαοὺλ τῷ λαῷ τῷ μετʼ αὐτοῦ, ἐπισκέψασθε δὴ, καὶ ἴδετε τίς πεπόρευται ἐξ ὑμῶν· καὶ ἐπεσκέψαντο, καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐχ εὑρίσκετο Ἰωνάθαν καὶ ὁ αἴρων τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ.
18And Saul said to Achias: Bring the ark of the Lord. (For the ark of God was there that day with the children of Israel.)Et ait Saul ad Achiam: Applica arcam Dei. (Erat enim ibi arca Dei in die illa cum filiis Israël.)Καὶ εἶπε Σαοὺλ τῷ ʼΑχιᾷ, προσάγαγε τὸ ἐφούδ· ὅτι αὐτὸς ᾗρε τὸ ἐφοὺδ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἐνώπιον Ἰσραήλ.
19And while Saul spoke to the priest, there arose a great uproar in the camp of the Philistines: and it increased by degrees, and was heard more clearly. And Saul said to the priest: Draw in thy hand.Cumque loqueretur Saul ad sacerdotem, tumultus magnus exortus est in castris Philisthinorum: crescebatque paulatim, et clarius resonabat. Et ait Saul ad sacerdotem: Contrahe manum tuam.Καὶ ἐγενήθη ὡς λαλεῖ Σαοὺλ πρὸς τὸν ἱερέα, καὶ ὁ ἦχος ἐν τῇ παρεμβολῇ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων ἐπορεύετο πορευόμενος καὶ ἐπλήθυνε· καὶ εἶπε Σαοὺλ πρὸς τὸν ἱερέα, συνάγαγε τὰς χεῖράς σου.
20Then Saul and all the people that were with him, shouted together, and they came to the place of the fight: and behold every man’s sword was turned upon his neighbour, and there was a very great slaughter.Conclamavit ergo Saul, et omnis populus qui erat cum eo, et venerunt usque ad locum certaminis: et ecce versus fuerat gladius uniuscuiusque ad proximum suum, et caedes magna nimis.Καὶ ἀνέβη Σαοὺλ καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ὁ μετʼ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔρχονται ἕως τοῦ πολέμου· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐγένετο ῥομφαία ἀνδρὸς ἐπὶ τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ, σύγχυσις μεγάλη σφόδρα.
21Moreover the Hebrews that had been with the Philistines yesterday and the day before, and went up with them into the camp, returned to be with the Israelites, who were with Saul and Jonathan.Sed et Hebraei qui fuerant cum Philisthiim heri et nudiustertius, ascenderantque cum eis in castris, reversi sunt ut essent cum Israël qui erant cum Saul et Ionatha.Καὶ οἱ δοῦλοι οἱ ὄντες ἐχθὲς καὶ τρίτην ἡμέραν μετὰ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων οἱ ἀναβάντες εἰς τὴν παρεμβολὴν, ἐπεστράφησαν καὶ αὐτοὶ εἶναι μετὰ Ἰσραὴλ τῶν μετὰ Σαοὺλ καὶ Ἰωνάθαν.
22And all the Israelites that had hid themselves in mount Ephraim, hearing that the Philistines fled, joined themselves with their countrymen in the fight. And there were with Saul about ten thousand men.Omnes quoque Israëlitae qui se absconderant in monte Ephraim, audientes quod fugissent Philisthaei, sociaverunt se cum suis in praelio. Et erant cum Saul quasi decem millia virorum.Καὶ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ οἱ κρυπτόμενοι ἐν τῷ ὄρει Ἐφραὶμ, καὶ ἤκουσαν ὅτι πεφεύγασιν οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι· καὶ συνάπτουσι καὶ αὐτοὶ ὀπίσω αὐτῶν εἰς πόλεμον·
23And the Lord saved Israel that day. And the fight went on as far as Bethaven.Et salvavit Dominus in die illa Israël: pugna autem pervenit usque ad Bethaven.καὶ ἔσωσε Κύριος ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ τὸν Ἰσραήλ· καὶ ὁ πόλεμος διῆλθε τὴν Βαμώθ· καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἦν μετὰ Σαοὺλ ὡς δέκα χιλιάδες ἀνδρῶν. Καὶ ἦν ὁ πόλεμος διεσπαρμένος εἰς ὅλην πόλιν ἐν τῷ ὄρει Ἐφραίμ.
24And the men of Israel were joined together that day; and Saul adjured the people, saying: Cursed be the man that shall eat food till evening, till I be revenged of my enemies. So none of the people tasted any food:Et viri Israël sociati sunt sibi in die illa: adiuravit autem Saul populum, dicens: Maledictus vir qui comederit panem usque ad vesperam, donec ulciscar de inimicis meis. Et non manducavit universus populus panem:Καὶ Σαοὺλ ἠγνόησεν ἄγνοιαν μεγάλην ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, καὶ ἀρᾶται τῷ λαῷ, λέγων, ἐπικατάρατος ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὃς φάγεται ἄρτον ἕως ἑσπέρας· καὶ ἐκδικήσω τὸν ἐχθρόν μου· καὶ οὐκ ἐγεύσατο πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἄρτου·
25And all the common people came into a forest, in which there was honey upon the ground.omneque terrae vulgus venit in saltum, in quo erat mel super faciem agri.καὶ πᾶσα ἡ γῆ ἠρίστα. Καὶ Ἰάαλ δρυμὸς ἦν μελισσῶνος κατὰ πρόσωπον τοῦ ἀγροῦ.
26And when the people came into the forest, behold the honey dropped, but no man put his hand to his mouth. For the people feared the oath.Ingressus est itaque populus saltum, et apparuit fluens mel, nullusque applicuit manum ad os suum: timebat enim populus iuramentum.Καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ὁ λαὸς εἰς τὸν μελισσῶνα, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐπορεύετο λαλῶν· καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐκ ἦν ἐπιστρέφων τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἐφοβήθη ὁ λαὸς τὸν ὅρκον Κυρίου.
27But Jonathan had not heard when his father adjured the people: and he put forth the end of the rod, which he had in his hand, and dipt it in a honeycomb: and he carried his hand to his mouth, and his eyes were enlightened.Porro Ionathas non audierat cum adiuraret pater eius populum: extenditque summitatem virgae quam habebat in manu, et intinxit in favum mellis: et convertit manum suam ad os suum, et illuminati sunt oculi eius.Καὶ Ἰωνάθαν οὐκ ἀκηκόει ἐν τῷ ὁρκίζειν τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ τὸν λαόν· καὶ ἐξέτεινε τὸ ἄκρον τοῦ σκήπτρου αὐτοῦ τοῦ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔβαψεν αὐτὸ εἰς τὸ κηρίον τοῦ μέλιτος, καὶ ἐπέστρεψε τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀνέβλεψαν οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ.
28And one of the people answering, said: Thy father hath bound the people with an oath, saying: Cursed be the man that shall eat any food this day. (And the people were faint.)Respondensque unus de populo, ait: Iureiurando constrinxit pater tuus populum, dicens: Maledictus vir qui comederit panem hodie. (Defecerat autem populus.)Καὶ ἀπεκρίθη εἷς ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ, καὶ εἶπεν, ὁρκίσας ὥρκισε τὸν λαὸν ὁ πατήρ σου, λέγων ἐπικατάρατος ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὃς φάγεται ἄρτον σήμερον· καὶ ἐξελύθη ὁ λαός.
29And Jonathan said: My father hath troubled the land: you have seen yourselves that my eyes are enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey:Dixitque Ionathas: Turbavit pater meus terram: vidistis ipsi quia illuminati sunt oculi mei, eo quod gustaverim paululum de melle isto:Καὶ ἔγνω Ἰωνάθαν, καὶ εἶπεν, ἀπήλλαχεν ὁ πατήρ μου τὴν γῆν· ἴδε, διότι εἶδον οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου ὅτι ἐγευσάμην βραχύ τι τοῦ μέλιτος τούτου·
30How much more if the people had eaten of the prey of their enemies, which they found? had there not been made a greater slaughter among the Philistines?quanto magis si comedisset populus de praeda inimicorum suorum, quam reperit? nonne maior plaga facta fuisset in Philisthiim?Ἀλλʼ ὅτι ἔφαγεν ἔσθων σήμερον ὁ λαὸς τῶν σκύλων τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτῶν ὧν εὗρεν, ὅτι νῦν ἂν μείζων ἦν ἡ πληγὴ ἡ ἐν τοῖς ἀλλοφύλοις.
31So they smote that day the Philistines from Machmas to Ailon. And the people were wearied exceedingly.Percusserunt ergo in die illa Philisthaeos a Machmis usque in Aialon. Defatigatus est autem populus nimis:Καὶ ἐπάταξεν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἐκ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων ἐν Μαχμάς· καὶ ἐκοπίασεν ὁ λαὸς σφόδρα.
32And falling upon the spoils, they took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slew them on the ground: and the people ate them with the blood.et versus ad praedam tulit oves, et boves, et vitulos, et mactaverunt in terra: comeditque populus cum sanguine.Καὶ ἐκλίθη ὁ λαὸς εἰς τὰ σκῦλα· καὶ ἔλαβεν ὁ λαὸς ποίμνια, καὶ βουκόλια, καὶ τέκνα βοῶν, καὶ ἔσφαξεν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, καὶ ἤσθιεν ὁ λαὸς σὺν τῷ αἵματι.
33And they told Saul that the people had sinned against the Lord, eating with the blood. And he said: You have transgressed: roll here to me now a great stone.Nuntiaverunt autem Sauli dicentes quod populus peccasset Domino, comedens cum sanguine. Qui ait: Praevaricati estis: volvite ad me iam nunc saxum grande.Καὶ ἀπηγγέλη Σαοὺλ, λέγοντες, ἡμάρτηκεν ὁ λαὸς τῷ Κυρίῳ, φαγὼν σὺν τῷ αἵματι· καὶ εἶπε Σαοὺλ, ἐκ Γεθθαὶμ κυλίσατέ μοι λίθον ἐνταῦθα μέγαν.
34And Saul said: Disperse yourselves among the people, and tell them to bring me every man his ox and his ram, and slay them upon this stone, and eat, and you shall not sin against the Lord in eating with the blood. So all the people brought every man his ox with him till the night: and slew them there.Et dixit Saul: Dispergimini in vulgus, et dicite eis ut adducat ad me unusquisque bovem suum et arietem, et occidite super istud, et vescimini, et non peccabitis Domino comedentes cum sanguine. Adduxit itaque omnis populus unusquisque bovem in manu sua usque ad noctem: et occiderunt ibi.Καὶ εἶπε Σαοὺλ, διασπάρητε ἐν τῷ λαῷ, καὶ εἴπατε αὐτοῖς προσαγαγεῖν ἐνταῦθα ἕκαστος τὸν μόσχον αὑτοῦ, καὶ ἕκαστος τὸ πρόβατον αὑτοῦ· καὶ σφαζέτω ἐπὶ τούτου, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἁμάρτητε τῷ Κυρίῳ τοῦ ἐσθίειν σὺν τῷ αἵματι· καὶ προσῆγεν ὁ λαὸς ἕκαστος τὸ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔσφαζον ἐκεῖ.
35And Saul built an altar to the Lord and he then first began to build an altar to the Lord.Aedificavit autem Saul altare Domino, tuncque primum coepit aedificare altare Domino.Καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐκεῖ Σαοὺλ θυσιαστήριον τῷ Κυρίῳ· τοῦτο ἤρξατο Σαοὺλ οἰκοδομῆσαι θυσιαστήριον τῷ Κυρίῳ.
36And Saul said: Let us fall upon the Philistines by night, and destroy them till the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And the people said: Do all that seemeth good in thy eyes. And the priest said: Let us draw near hither unto God.Et dixit Saul: Irruamus super Philisthaeos nocte, et vastemus eos usque dum illucescat mane, nec relinquamus ex eis virum. Dixitque populus: Omne quod bonum videtur in oculis tuis, fac. Et ait sacerdos: Accedamus huc ad Deum.Καὶ εἶπε Σαούλ, καταβῶμεν ὀπίσω τῶν ἀλλοφύλων τὴν νύκτα, καὶ διαρπάσωμεν ἐν αὐτοῖς ἕως διαφαύσῃ ἡμέρα, καὶ μὴ ὑπολείπωμεν ἐν αὐτοῖς ἄνδρα· καὶ εἶπαν, πᾶν τὸ ἀγαθὸν ἐνώπιόν σου ποίει· καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἱερεὺς, προσελθωμεν ἐνταῦθα πρὸς τὸν Θεόν.
37And Saul consulted the Lord: Shall I pursue after the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into the hands of Israel? And he answered him not that day.Et consuluit Saul Dominum: Num persequar Philisthiim? si trades eos in manus Israël? Et non respondit ei in die illa.Καὶ ἐπηρώτησε Σαοὺλ τὸν Θεὸν, εἰ καταβῶ ὀπίσω τῶν ἀλλοφύλων, εἰ παραδώσεις αὐτοὺς εἰς χεῖρας Ἰσραήλ; καὶ οὐκ ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῷ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ.
38And Saul said: Bring hither all the corners of the people: and know, and see by whom this sin hath happened today.Dixitque Saul: Applicate huc universos angulos populi: et scitote, et videte per quem acciderit peccatum hoc hodie.Καὶ εἶπε Σαοὺλ, προσαγάγετε ἐνταῦθα πάσας τὰς γωνίας τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ γνῶτε καὶ ἴδετε ἐν τίνι γέγονεν ἡ ἁμαρτία αὕτη σήμερον.
39As the Lord liveth who is the saviour of Israel, if it was done by Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. In this none of the people gainsaid him.Vivit Dominus salvator Israël, quia si per Ionathan filium meum factum est, absque retractione morietur. Ad quod nullus contradixit ei de omni populo.Ὅτι ζῇ Κύριος ὁ σώσας τὸν Ἰσραὴλ, ὅτι ἐὰν ἀποκριθῇ κατὰ Ἰωνάθαν τοῦ υἱοῦ μου, θανάτῳ ἀποθανεῖται· καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ ἀποκρινόμενος ἐκ παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ.
40And he said to all Israel: Be you on one side, and I with Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people answered Saul: Do what seemeth good in thy eyes.Et ait ad universum Israël: Separamini vos in partem unam, et ego cum Ionatha filio meo ero in parte altera. Responditque populus ad Saul: Quod bonum videtur in oculis tuis, fac.Καὶ εἶπε παντὶ ἀνδρὶ Ἰσραὴλ, ὑμεῖς ἔσεστε εἰς δουλείαν, καὶ ἐγὼ καὶ Ἰωνάθαν ὁ υἱός μου ἐσόμεθα εἰς δουλείαν· καὶ εἶπεν ὁ λαὸς πρὸς Σαούλ, τὸ ἀγαθὸν ἐνώπιόν σου ποίει.
41And Saul said to the Lord: O Lord God of Israel, give a sign, by which we may know, what the meaning is, that thou answerest not thy servant today. If this iniquity be in me, or in my son Jonathan, give a proof: or if this iniquity be in thy people, give holiness. And Jonathan and Saul were taken, and the people escaped.Et dixit Saul ad Dominum Deum Israël: Domine Deus Israël, da indicium: quid est quod non responderis servo tuo hodie? si in me, aut in Ionatha filio meo, est iniquitas haec, da ostensionem: aut si haec iniquitas est in populo tuo, da sanctitatem. Et deprehensus est Ionathas et Saul: populus autem exivit.Καὶ εἶπε Σαοὺλ, Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ, τί ὅτι οὐκ ἀπεκρίθης τῷ δούλῳ σου σήμερον; εἰ ἐν ἐμοὶ ἢ ἐν Ἰωνάθαν τῷ υἱῷ μου ἡ ἀδικία; Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ, δὸς δήλους· καὶ ἐὰν τάδε εἴπῃ, δὸς δὴ τῷ λαῷ σου Ἰσραὴλ, δὸς δὴ ὁσιότητα· καὶ κληροῦται Ἰωνάθαν καὶ Σαούλ, καὶ ὁ λαὸς ἐξῆλθε.
42And Saul said: Cast lots between me, and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken.Et ait Saul: Mittite sortem inter me et inter Ionathan filium meum. Et captus est Ionathas.Καὶ εἶπε Σαοὺλ, βάλλετε ἀναμέσον ἐμοῦ καὶ ἀναμέσον Ἰωνάθαν τοῦ υἱοῦ μου· ὃν ἂν κατακληρώσηται Κύριος, ἀποθανέτω· καὶ εἶπεν ὁ λαὸς πρὸς Σαοὺλ, οὐκ ἔστι τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο· καὶ κατεκράτησε Σαοὺλ τοῦ λαοῦ, καὶ βάλλουσιν ἀναμέσον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀναμέσον Ἰωνάθαν τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ, καὶ κατακληροῦται Ἰωνάθαν.
43And Saul said to Jonathan: Tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him, and said: I did but taste a little honey with the end of the rod, which was in my hand, and behold I must die.Dixit autem Saul ad Ionathan: Indica mihi quid feceris. Et indicavit ei Ionathas, et ait: Gustans gustavi in summitate virgae quae erat in manu mea, paululum mellis, et ecce ego morior.Καὶ εἶπε Σαοὺλ πρὸς Ἰωνάθαν, ἀπάγγειλόν μοι τί πεποίηκας· καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν αὐτῷ Ἰωνάθαν, καὶ εἶπε, γευόμενος ἐγευσάμην ἐν ἄκρῳ τῷ σκήπτρῳ τῷ ἐν τῇ χειρί μου βραχὺ μέλι, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἀποθνήσκω.
44And Saul said: May God do so and so to me, and add still more: for dying thou shalt die, O Jonathan.Et ait Saul: Haec faciat mihi Deus, et haec addat, quia morte morieris, Ionatha.Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Σαοὺλ, τάδε ποιήσαι μοι ὁ Θεὸς καὶ τάδε προσθείη, ὅτι θανάτῳ ἀποθανῇ σήμερον.
45And the people said to Saul: Shall Jonathan then die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? This must not be. As the Lord liveth, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground, for he hath wrought with God this day. So the people delivered Jonathan, that he should not die.Dixitque populus ad Saul: Ergone Ionathas morietur, qui fecit salutem hanc magnam in Israël? hoc nefas est: vivit Dominus, si ceciderit capillus de capite eius in terram, quia cum Deo operatus est hodie. Liberavit ergo populus Ionathan, ut non moreretur.Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ λαὸς πρὸς Σαοὺλ, εἰ σήμερον θανατωθήσεται ὁ ποιήσας τὴν σωτηρίαν τὴν μεγάλην ταύτην ἐν Ἰσραήλ; ζῇ Κύριος, εἰ πεσεῖται τριχὸς τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, ὅτι ὁ λαὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐποίησε τὴν ἡμέραν ταύτην· καὶ προσηύξατο ὁ λαὸς περὶ Ἰωνάθαν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, καὶ οὐκ ἀπέθανε.
46And Saul went back, and did not pursue after the Philistines: and the Philistines went to their own places.Recessitque Saul, nec persecutus est Philisthiim: porro Philisthiim abierunt in loca sua.Καὶ ἀνέβη Σαοὺλ ἀπὸ ὄπισθε τῶν ἀλλοφύλων· καὶ οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι ἀπῆλθον εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτῶν.
47And Saul having his kingdom established over Israel, fought against all his enemies round about, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and Edom, and the kings of Soba, and the Philistines; and whithersoever he turned himself, he overcame.Et Saul, confirmato regno super Israël, pugnabat per circuitum adversum omnes inimicos eius, contra Moab, et filios Ammon, et Edom, et reges Soba, et Philisthaeos: et quocumque se verterat, superabat.Καὶ Σαοὺλ ἔλαχε τοῦ βασιλεύειν, κατακληροῦται ἔργον ἐπὶ Ἰσραήλ· καὶ ἐπολέμει κύκλῳ πάντας τοὺς ἐχθροὺς αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν Μωὰβ, καὶ εἰς τοὺς υἱοὺς ʼΑμμὼν, καὶ εἰς τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἐδὼμ, καὶ εἰς τὸν Βαιθαιὼρ, καὶ εἰς βασιλέα Σουβὰ, καὶ εἰς τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους· οὗ ἂν ἐστράφη, ἐσώζετο.
48And gathering together an army, he defeated Amalec, and delivered Israel from the hand of them that spoiled them.Congregatoque exercitu, percussit Amalec, et eruit Israël de manu vastatorum eius.Καὶ ἐποίησε δύναμιν, καὶ ἐπάταξε τὸν ʼΑμαλήκ· καὶ ἐξείλετο τὸν Ἰσραὴλ ἐκ χειρὸς τῶν καταπατούντων αὐτόν.
49And the sons of Saul, were Jonathan, and Jessui, and Melchisua: and the names of his two daughters, the name of the firstborn was Merob, and the name of the younger Michol.Fuerunt autem filii Saul, Ionathas, et Iessui, et Melchisua: et nomina duarum filiarum eius, nomen primogenitae Merob, et nomen minoris Michol.Καὶ ἦσαν οἱ υἱοὶ Σαοὺλ Ἰωνάθαν, καὶ Ἰεσσιοὺ, καὶ Μελχισά· καὶ ὀνόματα τῶν δύο θυγατέρων αὐτοῦ, ὄνομα τῇ πρωτοτόκῳ Μερόβ, καὶ ὄνομα τῇ δευτέρᾳ Μελχόλ.
50And the name of Saul’s wife, was Achinoam the daughter of Achimaas; and the name of the captain of his army was Abner, the son of Ner, the cousin german of Saul.Et nomen uxoris Saul Achinoam filia Achimaas: et nomen principis militiae eius Abner filius Ner, patruelis Saul.Καὶ ὄνομα τῇ γυναικὶ αὐτοῦ ʼΑχινοὸμ, θυγάτερ ʼΑχιμάας· καὶ ὄνομα τῷ ἀρχιστρατήγῳ αὐτοῦ ʼΑβεννηρ, υἱὸς Νὴρ, υἱοῦ οἰκείου Σαούλ.
51For Cis was the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner, was son of Abiel.Porro Cis fuit pater Saul, et Ner pater Abner, filius Abiel.Καὶ Κὶς πατὴρ Σαοὺλ, καὶ Νὴρ πατὴρ ʼΑβεννὴρ υἱὸς Ἰαμὶν, υἱοῦ ʼΑβιήλ.
52And there was a great war against the Philistines all the days of Saul. For whomsoever Saul saw to be a valiant man, and fit for war, he took him to himself.Erat autem bellum potens adversum Philisthaeos omnibus diebus Saul. Nam quemcumque viderat Saul virum fortem, et aptum ad praelium, sociabat eum sibi.Καὶ ἦν ὁ πόλεμος κραταιὸς ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας Σαούλ· καὶ ἰδὼν Σαοὺλ πάντα ἄνδρα δυνατὸν, καὶ πάντα ἄνδρα υἱὸν δυνάμεως, καὶ συνήγαγεν αὐτοὺς πρὸς αὑτόν.

The same day, there came some of the Pharisees, saying to him: Depart, and get thee hence, for Herod hath a mind to kill thee. And he said to them: Go and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and do cures today and…
