2 Samuel 17: Douay-Rheims and Septuagint (Sixtine edition, 1587)
Douay-RheimsSeptuagint (Sixtine edition, 1587)
1And Achitophel said to Absalom: I will choose me twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David this night.Καὶ εἶπεν Ἀχιτόφελ πρὸς Ἀβεσσαλὼμ, ἐπιλέξω δὴ ἐμαυτῷ δώδεκα χιλιάδας ἀνδρῶν, καὶ ἀναστήσομαι καὶ καταδιώξω ὀπίσω Δαυὶδ τὴν νύκτα.
2And coming upon him (for he is now weary, and weak handed) I will defeat him: and when all the people is put to flight that is with him, I will kill the king who will be left alone.Καὶ ἐπελεύσομαι ἐπʼ αὐτὸν, καὶ αὐτὸς κοπιῶν καὶ ἐκλελυμένος χερσὶ, καὶ ἐκστήσω αὐτὸν, καὶ φεύξεται πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ὁ μετʼ αὐτοῦ, καὶ πατάξω τὸν βασιλέα μονώτατον·
3And I will bring back all the people, as if they were but one man: for thou seekest but one man: and all the people shall be in peace.Καὶ ἐπιστρέψω πάντα τὸν λαὸν πρὸς σὲ, ὃν τρόπον ἐπιστρέφει ἡ νύμφη πρὸς τὸν ἄνδρα αὐτῆς· πλὴν ψυχὴν ἀνδρὸς ἑνὸς σὺ ζητεῖς, καὶ παντὶ τῷ λαῷ ἔσται εἰρήνη.
4And his saying pleased Absalom, and all the ancients of Israel.Καὶ εὐθὺς ὁ λόγος ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Ἀβεσσαλὼμ, καὶ ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς πάντων τῶν πρεσβυτέρων Ἰσραήλ.
5But Absalom said: Call Chusai the Arachite, and let us hear what he also saith.Καὶ εἶπεν Ἀβεσσαλὼμ, καλέσατε δὴ καί γε τὸν Χουσὶ τὸν Ἀραχὶ, καὶ ἀκούσωμεν τί ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτοῦ, καί γε αὐτοῦ.
6And when Chusai was come to Absalom, Absalom said to him: Achitophel hath spoken after this manner: shall we do it or not? what counsel dost thou give?Καὶ εἰσῆλθε Χουσὶ πρὸς Ἀβεσσαλὼμ, καὶ εἶπεν Ἀβεσσαλὼμ πρὸς αὐτὸν, λέγων, κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο ἐλάλησεν Ἀχιτόφελ· ποιήσομεν κατὰ τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ; εἰ δὲ μὴ, σὺ λάλησον.
7And Chusai said to Absalom: The counsel that Achitophel hath given this time is not good.Καὶ εἶπε Χουσὶ πρὸς Ἀβεσσαλὼμ, οὐκ ἀγαθὴ αὕτη ἡ βουλὴ ἣν ἐβουλεύσατο Ἀχιτόφελ τὸ ἅπαξ τοῦτο.
8And again Chusai said: Thou knowest thy father, and the men that are with him, that they are very valiant, and bitter in their mind, as a bear raging in the wood when her whelps are taken away: and thy father is a warrior, and will not lodge with the people.Καὶ εἶπε Χουσὶ, σὺ οἶδας τὸν πατέρα σου καὶ τοὺς ἄνδρας αὐτοῦ, ὅτι δυνατοί εἰσι σφόδρα καὶ κατάπικροι τῇ ψυχῇ αὐτῶν, ὡς ἄρκος ἠτεκνωμένη ἐν ἀγρῷ, καὶ ὡς ὗς τραχεῖα ἐν τῇ πεδίῳ· ὁ πατήρ σου ἀνὴρ πολεμιστὴς, καὶ οὐ μὴ καταλύσῃ τὸν λαόν.
9Perhaps he now lieth hid in pits, or in some other place where he list: and when any one shall fall at the first, every one that heareth it shall say: There is a slaughter among the people that followed Absalom.Ἰδοὺ γὰρ αὐτὸς νῦν κέκρυπται ἐν ἑνὶ τῶν βουνῶν ἢ ἐν ἑνὶ τῶν τόπων· καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῷ ἐπιπεσεῖν αὐτοῖς ἐν ἀρχῇ, καὶ ἀκούσῃ ἀκούων, καὶ εἴπῃ, ἐγενήθη θραῦσις ἐν τῷ λαῷ τῷ ὀπίσω Ἀβεσσαλώμ·
10And the most valiant man whose heart is as the heart of a lion, shall melt for fear: for all the people of Israel know thy father to be a valiant man, and that all who are with him are valiant.Καί γε αὐτὸς υἱὸς δυνάμεως, οὗ ἡ καρδία καθὼς ἡ καρδία τοῦ λέοντος, τηκομένη τακήσεται· ὅτι· οἶδε πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ, ὅτι δυνατὸς ὁ πατήρ σου, καὶ υἱοὶ δυνάμεως οἱ μετʼ αὐτοῦ.
11But this seemeth to me to be good counsel: Let all Israel be gathered to thee, from Dan to Bersabee, as the sand of the sea which cannot be numbered: and thou shalt be in the midst of them.Ὅτι οὕτως συμβουλεύων ἐγὼ συνεβούλευσα, καὶ συναγόμενος συναχθήσεται ἐπὶ σὲ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ ἀπὸ Δὰν καὶ ἕως Βηρσαβεὲ, ὡς ἡ ἄμμος ἡ ἐπὶ τῆς θαλάσσης εἰς πλῆθος· καὶ τὸ πρόσωπόν σου πορευόμενον ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν.
12And we shall come upon him in what place soever he shall be found: and we shall cover him, as the dew falleth upon the ground, and we shall not leave of the men that are with him, not so much as one.Καὶ ἥξομεν πρὸς αὐτὸν εἰς ἕνα τῶν τόπων οὗ ἐὰν εὕρωμεν αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ, καὶ παρεμβαλοῦμεν ἐπʼ αὐτὸν, ὡς πίπτει δρόσος ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, καὶ οὐχ ὑπολειψόμεθα ἐν αὐτῷ καὶ τοῖς ἀνδράσιν αὐτοῦ τοῖς μετʼ αὐτοῦ, καί γε ἕνα.
13And if he shall enter into any city, all Israel shall cast ropes round about that city, and we will draw it into the river, so that there shall not be found so much as one small stone thereof.Καὶ ἐὰν εἰς τὴν πόλιν συναχθῇ, καὶ λήψεται πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς τὴν πόλιν ἐκείνην σχοινία, καὶ συροῦμεν αὐτὴν ἕως εἰς τὸν χειμάῤῥουν, ὅπως μὴ καταλειφθῇ ἐκεῖ μηδὲ λίθος.
14And Absalom, and all the men of Israel said: The counsel of Chusai the Arachite is better than the counsel of Achitophel: and by the will of the Lord the profitable counsel of Achitophel was defeated, that the Lord might bring evil upon Absalom.Καὶ εἶπεν Ἀβεσσαλὼμ, καὶ πᾶς ἀνὴρ Ἰσραὴλ, ἀγαθὴ ἡ βουλὴ Χουσὶ τοῦ Ἀραχὶ ὑπὲρ τὴν βουλὴν Ἀχιτόφελ· καὶ Κύριος ἐνετείλατο διασκεδάσαι τὴν βουλὴν τοῦ Ἀχιτόφελ τὴν ἀγαθὴν, ὅπως ἂν ἐπαγάγῃ Κύριος ἐπὶ Ἀβεσσαλὼμ τὰ κακὰ πάντα.
15And Chusai said to Sadoc and Abiathar the priests: Thus and thus did Achitophel counsel Absalom, and the ancients of Israel: and thus and thus did I counsel them.Καὶ εἶπε Χουσὶ ὁ τοῦ Ἀραχὶ πρὸς Σαδὼκ καὶ Ἀβιάθαρ τοὺς ἱερεῖς, οὕτως καὶ οὕτως συνεβούλευσεν Ἀχιτόφελ τῷ Ἀβεσσαλὼμ καὶ τοῖς πρεσβυτέροις Ἰσραήλ· καὶ οὕτως καὶ οὕτως συνεβούλευσα ἐγώ.
16Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, saying: Tarry not this night in the plains of the wilderness, but without delay pass over: lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people that is with him.Καὶ νῦν ἀποστείλατε ταχὺ καὶ ἀναγγείλατε τῷ Δαυὶδ, λέγοντες, μὴ αὐλισθῇς τὴν νύκτα ἐν Ἀραβὼθ τῆς ἐρήμου, καί γε διαβαίνων σπεῦσον, μήποτε καταπείσῃ τὸν βασιλέα, καὶ πάντα τὸν λαὸν τὸν μετʼ αὐτοῦ.
17And Jonathan and Achimaas stayed by the fountain Rogel: and there went a maid and told them: and they went forward, to carry the message to king David, for they might not be seen, nor enter into the city.Καὶ Ἰωνάθαν καὶ Ἀχιμάας εἱστήκεισαν ἐν τῇ πηγῇ Ῥωγὴλ, καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἡ παιδίσκη, καὶ ἀνήγγειλεν αὐτοῖς, καὶ αὐτοὶ πορεύονται καὶ ἀναγγέλλουσι τῷ βασιλεῖ Δαυίδ· ὅτι οὐκ ἠδύναντο ὀφθῆναι τοῦ εἰσελθεῖν τἰς τὴν πόλιν.
18But a certain boy saw them, and told Absalom: but they making haste went into the house of a certain man in Bahurim, who had a well in his court, and they went down into it.Καὶ εἶδεν αὐτοὺς παιδάριον, καὶ ἀνήγγειλε τῷ Ἀβεσσαλώμ· καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν οἱ δύο ταχέως, καὶ εἰσῆλθαν εἰς οἰκίαν ἀνδρὸς ἐν Βαουρίμ· καὶ αὐτῷ λάκκος ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ, καὶ κατέβησαν ἐκεῖ.
19And a woman took, and spread a covering over the mouth of the well, as it were to dry sodden barley: and so the thing was not known.Καὶ ἔλαβεν ἡ γυνὴ, καὶ διεπέτασε τὸ ἐπικάλυμμα ἐπὶ πρόσωπον τοῦ λάκκου, καὶ ἔψυξεν ἐπʼ αὐτῷ ἀραφὼθ, καὶ οὐκ ἐγνώσθη ῥῆμα.
20And when Absalom’s servants were come into the house, they said to the woman: Where is Achimaas and Jonathan? and the woman answered them: They passed on in haste, after they had tasted a little water. But they that sought them, when they found them not, returned into Jerusalem.Καὶ ἦλθον οἱ παῖδες Ἀβεσσαλὼμ πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν, καὶ εἶπαν, ποῦ Ἀχιμάας καὶ Ἰωνάθαν; καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ἡ γυνὴ, παρῆλθαν μικρὸν το ὕδατος· καὶ ἐζήτησαν, καὶ οὐχ εὗραν, καὶ ἀνέστρεψαν εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ.
21And when they were gone, they came up out of the well, and going on told king David, and said: Arise, and pass quickly over the river: for this manner of counsel has Achitophel given against you.Ἐγένετο δὲ μετὰ τὸ ἀπελθεῖν αὐτοὺς, καὶ ἀνέβησαν ἐκ τοῦ λάκκου, καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν· καὶ ἀπήγγειλαν τῷ βασιλεῖ Δαυὶδ, καὶ εἶπαν πρὸς Δαυὶδ, ἀνάστητε καὶ διάβητε ταχέως τὸ ὕδωρ, ὅτι οὕτως ἐβουλεύσατο περὶ ὑμῶν Ἀχιτόφελ.
22So David arose, and all the people that were with him, and they passed over the Jordan, until it grew light, and not one of them was left that was not gone over the river.Καὶ ἀνέστη Δαυὶδ καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ὁ μετʼ αὐτοῦ, καὶ διέβησαν τὸν Ἰορδάνην ἕως τοῦ φωτὸς τοῦ πρωῒ, ἕως ἑνὸς οὐκ ἔλαθεν ὃς οὐ διῆλθε τὸν Ἰορδάνην.
23But Achitophel seeing that his counsel was not followed, saddled his ass, and arose and went home to his house and to his city, and putting his house in order, hanged himself, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father.Καὶ Ἀχιτόφελ εἶδεν ὅτι οὐκ ἐγενήθη ἡ βουλὴ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπέσαξε τὴν ὄνον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀνέστη καὶ ἀπῆλθεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ εἰς τὴν πόλιν αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐνετείλατο τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀπήγξατο καὶ ἀπέθανεν καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν τῷ τάφῳ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ.
24But David came to the camp, and Absalom passed over the Jordan, be and all the men of Israel with him.Καὶ Δαυεὶδ διῆλθεν εἰς Μαναΐμ καὶ Ἀβεσσαλὼμ διέβη τὸν Ἰορδάνην αὐτὸς καὶ πᾶς ἀνὴρ Ἰσραὴλ μετʼ αὐτοῦ.
25Now Absalom appointed Amasa in Joab’s stead over the army: and Amasa was the son of a man who was called Jethra of Jezrael, who went in to Abigail the daughter of Naas, the sister of Sarvia who was the mother of Joab.Καὶ τὸν Ἀμεσσαῒ κατέστησεν Ἀβεσσαλὼμ ἀντὶ Ἰωὰβ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως. Καὶ Ἀμεσσαῒ υἱὸς ἀνδρὸς, καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ Ἰεθὲρ ὁ Ἰεζραηλίτης· οὗτος εἰσῆλθε πρὸς Ἀβιγαίαν θυγατέρα Νάας ἀδελφὴν Σαρουίας μητρὸς Ἰωάβ.
26And Israel camped with Absalom in the land of Galaad.Καὶ παρενέβαλε πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ καὶ Ἀβεσσαλὼμ εἰς τὴν γῆν Γαλαάδ.
27And when David was come to the camp, Sobi the son of Naas of Rabbath of the children of Ammon, and Machir the son of Ammihel of Lodabar, and Berzellai the Galaadite of Rogelim,Καὶ ἐγένετο ἡνίκα ἦλθε Δαυὶδ εἰς Μαναῒμ, καὶ Οὐεσβὶ υἱὸς Νάας ἐκ Ῥαββὰθ υἱῶν Ἀμμὼν, καὶ Μαχὶρ υἱὸς Ἀμιὴλ ἐκ Λωδαβὰρ, καὶ Βερζελλὶ ὁ Γαλααδίτης ἐκ Ῥωγελλὶμ,
28Brought him beds, and tapestry, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and meal, and parched corn, and beans, and lentils, and fried pulse,ἤνεγκαν δέκα κοίτας ἀμφιτάπους, καὶ λέβητας δέκα, καὶ σκεύη κεράμου, καὶ πυροὺς, καὶ κριθὰς, καὶ ἄλευρον, καὶ ἄλφιτον, καὶ κύαμον, καὶ φακὸν,
29And honey, and butter, and sheep, and fat calves, and they gave to David and the people that were with him, to eat: for they suspected that the people were faint with hunger and thirst in the wilderness.καὶ μέλι, καὶ βούτυρον καὶ πρόβατα καὶ σαφὼθ βοῶν· καὶ προσήνεγκαν τῷ Δαυὶδ, καὶ τῷ λαῷ τῷ μετʼ αὐτοῦ φαγεῖν· ὅτι εἶπεν, ὁ λαὸς πεινῶν καὶ ἐκλελυμένος καὶ διψῶν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ.

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…
