1 Samuel 4: Douay-Rheims and Septuagint (Sixtine edition, 1587)
Douay-RheimsSeptuagint (Sixtine edition, 1587)
1And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered themselves together to fight: and Israel went out to war against the Philistines, and camped by the Stone of help. And the Philistines came to Aphec,Καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις, καὶ συναθροίζονται ἀλλόφυλοι ἐπὶ Ἰσραὴλ εἰς πόλεμον· καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ἰσραὴλ εἰς ἀπάντησιν αὐτοῖς εἰς πόλεμον, καὶ παρεμβάλλουσιν ἐπὶ Ἀβενέζερ· καὶ οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι παρεμβάλλουσιν ἐν Ἀφέκ.
2And put their army in array against Israel. And when they had joined battle, Israel turned their backs to the Philistines, and there was slain in that fight here and there in the fields about four thousand men.Καὶ παρατάσσονται ἀλλόφυλοι εἰς πόλεμον ἐπὶ Ἰσραήλ· καὶ ἔκλινεν ὁ πόλεμος, καὶ ἔπταισεν ἀνὴρ Ἰσραὴλ ἐνώπιον ἀλλοφύλων, καὶ ἐπλήγησαν ἐν τῇ παρατάξει ἐν ἀγρῷ τέσσαρες χιλιάδες ἀνδρῶν.
3And the people returned to the camp: and the ancients of Israel said: Why hath the Lord defeated us today before the Philistines? Let us fetch unto us the ark of the covenant of the Lord from Silo, and let it come in the midst of us, that it may save us from the hand of our enemies.Καὶ ἦλθεν ὁ λαὸς εἰς τὴν παρεμβολὴν, καὶ εἶπαν οἱ πρεσβύτεροι Ἰσραὴλ, κατὰ τί ἔπταισεν ἡμᾶς Κύριος σήμερον ἐνώπιον ἀλλοφύλων; λάβωμεν τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν ἐκ Σηλώμ, καὶ ἐξελθέτω ἐκ μέσου ἡμῶν, καὶ σώσει ἡμᾶς ἐκ χειρὸς ἐχθρῶν ἡμῶν.
4So the people sent to Silo, and they brought from thence the ark of the covenant of the Lord of hosts sitting upon the cherubims: and the two sons of Heli, Ophni and Phinees, were with the ark of the covenant of God.Καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ λαὸς εἰς Σηλὼμ, καὶ αἴρουσιν ἐκεῖθεν τὴν κιβωτὸν Κυρίου καθημένου χερουβίμ· καὶ ἀμφότεροι οἱ υἱοὶ Ἡλὶ μετὰ τῆς κιβωτοῦ, Ὀφνὶ καὶ Φινεές.
5And when the ark of the covenant of the Lord was come into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, and the earth rang again.Καὶ ἐγενήθη ὡς ἦλθεν ἡ κιβωτὸς Κυρίου εἰς τὴν παρεμβολὴν, καὶ ἀνέκραξεν πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ φωνῇ μεγάλῃ, καὶ ἤχησεν ἡ γῆ.
6And the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, and they said: What is this noise of a great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the Lord was come into the camp.Καὶ ἤκουσαν οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι τῆς κραυγῆς, καὶ εἶπον οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι, τίς ἡ κραυγὴ ἡ μεγάλη αὕτη ἐν τῇ παρεμβολῇ τῶν Ἑβραίων; καὶ ἔγνωσαν ὅτι κιβωτὸς Κυρίου ἥκει εἰς τὴν παρεμβολήν.
7And the Philistines were afraid, saying: God is come into the camp. And sighing, they said:Καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι, καὶ εἶπον, οὗτοι οἱ θεοὶ ἥκασι πρὸς αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν παρεμβολήν. Οὐαὶ ἡμῖν, ἐξελοῦ ἡμᾶς Κύριε σήμερον, ὅτι οὐ γέγονε τοιαύτη ἐχθὲς καὶ τρίτην·
8Woe to us: for there was no such great joy yesterday and the day before: Woe to us. Who shall deliver us from the hand of these high gods? these are the gods that struck Egypt with all the plagues in the desert.οὐαὶ ἡμῖν, τίς ἐξελεῖται ἡμᾶς ἐκ χειρὸς τῶν θεῶν τῶν στερεῶν τούτων; οὗτοι οἱ θεοὶ οἱ πατάξαντες τὴν Αἴγυπτον ἐν πάσῃ πληγῇ, καὶ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ.
9Take courage and behave like men, ye Philistines: lest you come to be servants to the Hebrews, as they have served you: take courage and fight.Κραταιοῦσθε καὶ γίνεσθε εἰς ἄνδρας ἀλλόφυλοι, ὅπως μὴ δουλεύσητε τοῖς Ἑβραίοις, καθὼς ἐδούλευσαν ἡυῖν, καὶ ἔσεσθε εἰς ἄνδρας, καὶ πολεμήσατε αὐτούς.
10So the Philistines fought, and Israel was overthrown, and every man fled to his own dwelling: and there was an exceeding great slaughter; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen.Καὶ ἐπολέμησαν αὐτούς· καὶ πταίει ἀνὴρ Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἔφυγεν ἕκαστος εἰς σκήνωμα αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐγένετο πληγὴ μεγάλη σφόδρα· καὶ ἔπεσον ἐξ Ἰσραὴλ τριάκοντα χιλιάδες ταγμάτων.
11And the ark of God was taken: and the two sons of Heli, Ophni and Phinees, were slain.Καὶ κιβωτὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐλήφθη, καὶ ἀμφότεροι οἱ υἱοὶ Ἡλὶ ἀπέθανον, Ὀφνὶ καὶ Φινεές.
12And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came to Silo the same day, with his clothes rent, and his head strewed with dust.Καὶ ἔδραμεν ἀνὴρ Ἰεμιναῖος ἐκ τῆς παρατάξεως, καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς Σηλὼμ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, καὶ τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ διεῤῥωγότα, καὶ γῆ ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ.
13And when he was come, Heli sat upon a stool over against the way watching. For his heart was fearful for the ark of God. And when the man was come into the city, he told it: and all the city cried out.Καὶ ἦλθε, καὶ ἰδοὺ Ἡλὶ ἐπὶ τοῦ δίφρου παρὰ τὴν πύλην σκοπεύων τὴν ὁδὸν, ὅτι ἦν καρδία αὐτοῦ ἐξεστηκυῖα περὶ τῆς κιβωτοῦ τοῦ Θεοῦ· καὶ ὁ ἄνθρωπος εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὴν πόλιν ἀπαγγεῖλαι· καὶ ἀνεβόησεν ἡ πόλις.
14And Heli heard the noise of the cry, and he said: What meaneth the noise of this uproar? But he made haste, and came, and told Heli.Καὶ ἤκουσεν Ἡλὶ τὴν φωνὴν τῆς βοῆς, καὶ εἶπε, τίς ἡ φωνῆ τῆς βοῆς ταύτης; καὶ ὁ ἄνθρωπος σπεύσας εἰσῆλθε, καὶ ἀπήγγειλε τῷ Ἡλί.
15Now Heli was ninety and eight years old, and his eyes were dim, and he could not see.Καὶ Ἡλὶ υἱὸς ἐνενήκοντα ἐτῶν, καὶ οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ ἐπανέστησαν, καὶ οὐκ ἐπέβλεπε. Καὶ εἶπεν Ἡλὶ τοῖς ἀνδράσιν τοῖς περιεστηκόσιν αὐτῷ, τίς ἡ φωνὴ τοῦ ἤχου τούτου;
16And he said to Heli: I am he that came from the battle, and have fled out of the field this day. And he said to him: What is there done, my son?καὶ ὁ ἀνὴρ σπεύσας προσῆλθε πρὸς Ἡλὶ, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ ἥκων ἐκ τῆς παρεμβολῆς, κᾀγὼ πέφευγα ἐκ τῆς παρατάξεως σήμερον· καὶ εἶπεν Ἡλὶ, τί τὸ γεγονὸς ῥῆμα, τέκνον;
17And he that brought the news answered, and said: Israel has fled before the Philistines, and there has been a great slaughter of the people: moreover thy two sons, Ophni and Phinees, are dead: and the ark of God is taken.Καὶ ἀπεκρίθη τὸ παιδάριον, καὶ εἶπε, πέφευγεν ἀνὴρ Ἰσραὴλ ἐκ προσώπου ἀλλοφύλων, καὶ ἐγένετο πληγὴ μεγάλη ἐν τῷ λαῷ, καὶ ἀμφότεροι οἱ υἱοί σου τεθνήκασι, καὶ ἡ κιβωτὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐλήφθη.
18And when he had named the ark of God, he fell from his stool backwards by the door, and broke his neck, and died. For he was an old man, and far advanced in years: and he judged Israel forty years.Καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἐμνήσθη τῆς κιβωτοῦ τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ ἔπεσεν ἀπὸ τοῦ δίφρου ὀπισθίως ἐχόμενος τῆς πύλης, καὶ συνετρίβη ὁ νῶτος αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀπέθανεν, ὅτι πρεσβύτης ὁ ἄνθρωπος καὶ βαρύς· καὶ αὐτὸς ἔκρινε τὸν Ἰσραὴλ εἴκοσι ἔτη.
19And his daughter in law the wife of Phinees, was big with child, and near her time: and hearing the news that the ark of God was taken, and her father in law, and her husband, were dead, she bowed herself and fell in labour: for her pains came upon her on a sudden.Καὶ νύμφη αὐτοῦ γυνὴ Φινεὲς συνειληφυῖα τοῦ τεκεῖν, καὶ ἤκουσε τὴν ἀγγελίαν, ὅτι ἐλήφθη ἡ κιβωτὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ ὅτι τέθνηκεν ὁ πενθερὸς αὐτῆς καὶ ὁ ἀνὴρ αὐτῆς, καὶ ἔκλαυσε καὶ ἔτεκεν, ὅτι ἐπεστράφησαν ἐπʼ αὐτὴν ὠδῖνες αὐτῆς·
20And when she was upon the point of death, they that stood about her said to her: Fear not, for thou hast borne a son. She answered them not, nor gave heed to them.Καὶ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ αὐτῆς ἀποθνήσκει· καὶ εἶπον αὐτῇ αἱ γυναῖκες αἱ παρεστηκυῖαι αὐτῇ, μὴ φοβοῦ, ὅτι υἱὸν τέτοκασ· καὶ οὐκ ἀπεκρίθη, καὶ οὐκ ἐνόησαν ἡ καρδία αὐτῆς.
21And she called the child Ichabod, saying: The glory is gone from Israel, because the ark of God was taken, and for her father in law, and her husband:Καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸ παιδάριον Οὐαιβαρχαβώθ ὑπὲρ τῆς κιβωτοῦ τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ ὑπὲρ τοῦ πενθεροῦ αὐτῆς, καὶ ὑπὲρ τοῦ ἀνδρὸς αὐτῆς.
22And she said: The glory is departed from Israel, because the ark of God was taken.Καὶ εἶπαν, ἀπῴκισται δόξα Ἰσραὴλ ἐν τῷ ληφθῆναι τὴν κιβωτὸν Κυρίου.

Jesus laments over Jerusalem, which kills the prophets

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…
