| 1 | And it was told Joab, that the king wept and mourned for his son: | Nuntiatum est autem Ioab quod rex fleret et lugeret filium suum, | Καὶ ἐταράχθη ὁ βασιλεὺς, καὶ ἀνέβη εἰς τὸ ὑπερῷον τῆς πύλης, καὶ ἔκλαυσε· καὶ οὕτως εἶπεν ἐν τῷ πορεύεσθαι αὐτὸν, υἱέ μου Ἀβεσσαλὼμ, υἱέ μου, υἱέ μου Ἀβεσαλώμ· τίς δῴη τὸν θάνατόν μου ἀντὶ σοῦ; ἐγὼ ἀντὶ σοῦ Ἀβεσσαλὼμ, υἱέ μου, υἱέ μου. |
| 2 | And the victory that day was turned into mourning unto all the people: for the people heard say that day: The king grieveth for his son. | et versa est victoria in luctum in die illa omni populo: audivit enim populus in die illa dici: Dolet rex super filio suo. | Καὶ ἀνηγγέλη τῷ Ἰωὰβ, λέγοντες, ἰδοῦ ὁ βασιλεὺς κλαίει καὶ πενθεῖ ἐπὶ Ἀβεσσαλώμ. |
| 3 | And the people shunned the going into the city that day as a people would do that hath turned their backs, and fled away from the battle. | Et declinavit populus in die illa ingredi civitatem, quomodo declinare solet populus versus et fugiens de praelio. | Καὶ ἐγένετο ἡ σωτηρία ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ εἰς πένθος παντὶ τῷ λαῷ, ὅτι ἤκουσεν ὁ λαὸς ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, λέγων, ὅτι λυπεῖται ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐπὶ τῷ υἱῷ αὐτοῦ. |
| 4 | And the king covered his head, and cried with a loud voice: O my son Absalom, O Absalom my son, O my son. | Porro rex operuit caput suum, et clamabat voce magna: Fili mi Absalom, Absalom fili mi, fili mi. | Καὶ διεκλέπτετο ὁ λαὸς ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ τοῦ εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὴν πόλιν, καθὼς διακλέπτεται ὁ λαὸς οἱ αἰσχυνόμενοι ἐν τῷ αὐτοὺς φεύγειν ἐν τῷ πολέμῳ. |
| 5 | Then Joab going into the house to the king, said: Thou hast shamed this day the faces of all thy servants, that have saved thy life, and the lives of thy sons, and of thy daughters, and the lives of thy wives, and the lives of thy concubines. | Ingressus ergo Ioab ad regem in domum, dixit: Confudisti hodie vultus omnium servorum tuorum, qui salvam fecerunt animam tuam, et animam filiorum tuorum et filiarum tuarum, et animam uxorum tuarum, et animam concubinarum tuarum. | Καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἔκρυψε τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἔκραξεν ὁ βασιλεὺς φωνῇ μεγάλῃ, λέγων, υἱέ μου Ἀβεσσαλὼμ, Ἀβεσσαλὼμ υἱὲ μου. |
| 6 | Thou lovest them that hate thee, and thou hatest them that love thee: and thou hast shewn this day that thou carest not for thy nobles, nor for thy servants: and I now plainly perceive that if Absalom had lived, and all we had been slain, then it would have pleased thee. | Diligis odientes te, et odio habes diligentes te: et ostendisti hodie quia non curas de ducibus tuis et de servis tuis: et vere cognovi modo, quia si Absalom viveret, et omnes nos occubuissemus, tunc placeret tibi. | Καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Ἰωὰβ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα εἰς τὸν οἶκον, καὶ εἶπε, κατῄσχυνας σήμερον τὰ πρόσωπα πάντων τῶν δούλων σου τῶν ἐξαιρουμένων σε σήμερον, καὶ τὴν ψυχὴν τῶν υἱῶν σου, καὶ τῶν θυγατέρων σου, καὶ τὴν ψυχὴν τῶν γυναικῶν σου, καὶ τῶν παλλακῶν σου, |
| 7 | Now therefore arise, and go out, and speak to the satisfaction of thy servants: for I swear to thee by the Lord, that if thou wilt not go forth, there will not tarry with thee so much as one this night: and that will be worse to thee, than all the evils that have befallen thee from thy youth until now. | Nunc igitur surge, et procede, et alloquens satisfac servis tuis: iuro enim tibi per Dominum quod si non exieris, ne unus quidem remansurus sit tecum nocte hac: et peius erit hoc tibi quam omnia mala quae venerunt super te ab adolescentia tua usque in praesens. | τοῦ ἀγαπᾷν τοὺς μισοῦντάς σε, καὶ μισεῖν τοὺς ἀγαπῶντάς σε· καὶ ἀνήγγειλας σήμερον, ὅτι οὐκ εἰσὶν οἱ ἄρχοντές σου, οὐδὲ παῖδες· ὅτι ἔγνωκα σήμερον, ὅτι εἰ Ἀβεσσαλὼμ ἔζη, πάντες ἡμεῖς σήμερον νεκροί, ὅτι τότε τὸ εὐθὲς ἦν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου. |
| 8 | Then the king arose and sat in the gate: and it was told to all the people that the king sat in the gate: and all the people came before the king, but Israel fled to their own dwellings. | Surrexit ergo rex et sedit in porta: et omni populo nuntiatum est quod rex sederet in porta. Venitque universa multitudo coram rege: Israël autem fugit in tabernacula sua. | Καὶ νῦν ἀναστὰς ἔξελθε καὶ λάλησον εἰς τὴν καρδίαν τῶν δούλων σου, ὅτι ἐν Κυρίῳ ὤμοσα, ὅτι εἰ μὴ ἐκπορεύσῃ σήμερον, εἰ αὐλισθήσεται ἀνὴρ μετὰ σοῦ τὴν νύκτα ταύτην· καὶ ἐπίγνωθι σεαυτῷ, καὶ κακόν σοι τοῦτο ὑπὲρ πᾶν τὸ κακὸν τὸ ἐπελθόν σοι ἐκ νεότητός σου ἕως τοῦ νῦν. |
| 9 | And all the people were at strife in all the tribes of Israel, saying: The king delivered us out of the hand of our enemies, and he saved us out of the hand of the Philistines: and now he is fled out of the land for Absalom. | Omnis quoque populus certabat in cunctis tribubus Israël, dicens: Rex liberavit nos de manu inimicorum nostrorum; ipse salvavit nos de manu Philisthinorum: et nunc fugit de terra propter Absalom. | Καὶ ἀνέστη ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐν τῇ πύλῃ· καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἀνήγγειλαν, λέγοντες, ἰδοὺ ὁ βασιλεὺς κάθηται ἐν τῇ πύλῃ· καὶ εἰσῆλθε πᾶς ὁ λαὸς κατὰ πρόσωπον τοῦ βασιλέως ἐπὶ τὴν πύλην· καὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἔφυγεν ἀνὴρ εἰς τὰ σκηνώματα αὐτοῦ. |
| 10 | But Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in the battle: how long are you silent, and bring not back the king? | Absalom autem, quem unximus super nos, mortuus est in bello: usquequo siletis, et non reducitis regem? | Καὶ ἦν πᾶς ὁ λαὸς κρινόμενος ἐν πάσαις φυλαῖς Ἰσραὴλ, λέγοντες, ὁ βασιλεὺς Δαυὶδ ἐῤῥύσατο ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν ἐχθρῶν ἡμῶν, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐξείλετο ἡμᾶς ἐκ χειρὸς ἀλλοφύλων· καὶ νῦν πέφευγεν ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς, καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς βασιλείας αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀπὸ Ἀβεσσαλώμ. |
| 11 | And king David sent to Sadoc, and Abiathar the priests, saying: Speak to the ancients of Juda, saying: Why are you the last to bring the king back to his house? (For the talk of all Israel was come to the king in his house.) | Rex vero David misit ad Sadoc et Abiathar sacerdotes, dicens: Loquimini ad maiores natu Iuda, dicentes: Cur venitis novissimi ad reducendum regem in domum suam? (Sermo autem omnis Israël pervenerat ad regem in domo eius.) | Καὶ Ἀβεσσαλὼμ, ὃν ἐχρίσαμεν ἐφʼ ἡμῶν, ἀπέθανεν ἐν τῷ πολέμῳ· καὶ νῦν ἱνατί ὑμεῖς κωφεύετε τοῦ ἐπιστρέψαι τὸν βασιλέα; καὶ τὸ ῥῆμα παντὸς Ἰσραὴλ ἦλθε πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα. |
| 12 | You are my brethren, you are my bone, and my flesh, why are you the last to bring back the king? | Fratres mei vos, os meum, et caro mea vos, quare novissimi reducitis regem? | Καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Δαυὶδ ἀπέστειλε πρὸς Σαδὼκ καὶ πρὸς Ἀβιάθαρ τοῦς ἱερεῖς, λέγων, λαλήσατε πρὸς τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους Ἰούδα, λέγοντες, ἱνατί γίνεσθε ἔσχατοι τοῦ ἐπιστρέψαι τὸν βασιλέα εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ; καὶ λόγος παντὸς Ἰσραὴλ ἦλθε πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ. |
| 13 | And say ye to Amasa: Art not thou my bone, and my flesh? So do God to me and add more, if thou be not the chief captain of the army before me always in the place of Joab. | Et Amasae dicite: Nonne os meum, et caro mea es? haec faciat mihi Deus, et haec addat, si non magister militiae fueris coram me omni tempore pro Ioab. | Ἀδελφοί μου ὑμεῖς, ὀστᾶ μου καὶ σάρκες μου ὑμεῖς· ἱνατί γίνεσθε ἔσχατοι τοῦ ἐπιστρέψαι τὸν βασιλέα εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ; |
| 14 | And be inclined the heart of all the men of Juda, as it were of one man: and they sent to the king, saying: Return thou, and all thy servants. | Et inclinavit cor omnium virorum Iuda quasi viri unius: miseruntque ad regem, dicentes: Revertere tu, et omnes servi tui. | καὶ τῷ Ἀμεσσαῒ; ἐρεῖτε, οὐχὶ ὀστοῦν μου καὶ σάρξ μου σύ; καὶ νῦν τάδε ποιήσαι μοι ὁ Θεὸς, καὶ τάδε προσθείη, εἰ μὴ ἄρχων δυνάμεως ἔσῃ ἐνώπιον ἐμοῦ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας ἀντὶ Ἰωάβ. |
| 15 | And the king returned and came as far as the Jordan, and all Juda came as far as Galgal to meet the king, and to bring him over the Jordan. | Et reversus est rex, et venit usque ad Iordanem: et omnis Iuda venit usque in Galgalam ut occurreret regi, et traduceret eum Iordanem. | Καὶ ἔκλινε τὴν καρδίαν παντὸς ἀνδρὸς Ἰούδα ὡς ἀνδρὸς ἑνός· καὶ ἀπέστειλαν πρὸς τὸν βασιλεα, λέγοντες, ἐπιστράφηθι σὺ καὶ πάντες οἱ δοῦλοί σου. |
| 16 | And Semei the son of Gera the son of Jemini of Bahurim, made haste and went down with the men of Juda to meet king David, | Festinavit autem Semei filius Gera filii Iemini de Bahurim, et descendit cum viris Iuda in occursum regis David, | Καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν ὁ βασιλεὺς, καὶ ἦλθεν ἕως τοῦ Ἰορδάνου· καὶ ἄνδρες Ἰούδα ἦλθαν εἰς Γάλγαλα τοῦ πορεύεσθαι εἰς ἀπαντὴν τοῦ βασιλέως, διαβιβάσαι τὸν βασιλέα τὸν Ἰορδάνην. |
| 17 | With a thousand men of Benjamin, and Siba the servant of the house of Saul: and his fifteen sons, and twenty servants were with him: and going over the Jordan, | cum mille viris de Beniamin, et Siba puer de domo Saul: et quindecim filii eius, ac viginti servi erant cum eo: et irrumpentes Iordanem, ante regem | Καὶ ἐτάχυνε Σεμεῒ υἱὸς Γηρὰ υἱοῦ τοῦ Ἰεμινὶ ἐκ Βαουρὶμ, καὶ κατέβη μετὰ ἀνδρὸς Ἰούδα εἰς ἀπαντὴν τοῦ βασιλέως Δαυίδ, |
| 18 | They passed the fords before the king, that they might help over the king’s household, and do according to his commandment. And Semei the son of Gera falling down before the king, when he was come over the Jordan, | transierunt vada, ut traducerent domum regis, et facerent iuxta iussionem eius: Semei autem filius Gera prostratus coram rege, cum iam transisset Iordanem, | καὶ χίλιοι ἄνδρες μετʼ αὐτοῦ ἐκ τοῦ Βενιαμὶν, καὶ Σιβὰ τὸ παιδάριον τοῦ οἴκου Σαοὺλ, καὶ πεντεκαίδεκα υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ μετʼ αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἴκοσι δοῦλοι αὐτοῦ μετʼ αὐτοῦ· καὶ κατεύθυναν τὸν Ἰορδάνην ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ βασιλέως, |
| 19 | Said to him: Impute not to me, my lord, the iniquity, nor remember the injuries of thy servant on the day that thou, my lord, the king, wentest out of Jerusalem, nor lay it up in thy heart, O king. | dixit ad eum: Ne reputes mihi, domine mi, iniquitatem, neque memineris iniuriarum servi tui in die qua egressus es, domine mi rex, de Ierusalem, neque ponas, rex, in corde tuo. | καὶ ἐλειτούργησαν τὴν λειτουργίαν τοῦ διαβιβάσαι τὸν βασιλέα· καὶ διέβη ἡ διάβασις τοῦ ἐξεγεῖραι τὸν οἶκον τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὸ εὐθὲς ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτοῦ. Καὶ Σεμεῒ υἱὸς Γηρὰ ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἐνώπιον τοῦ βασιλέως, διαβαίνοντος αὐτοῦ τὸν Ἰορδάνην, |
| 20 | For I thy servant acknowledge my sin: and therefore I am come this day the first of all the house of Joseph, and am come down to meet my lord the king. | Agnosco enim servus tuus peccatum meum: et idcirco hodie primus veni de omni domo Ioseph, descendique in occursum domini mei regis. | καὶ εἶπε πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα, μὴ δὴ λογισάσθω ὁ κύριός μου ἀνομίαν, καὶ μὴ μνησθῇς ὅσα ἠδίκησεν ὁ παῖς σου ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ᾗ ὁ κύριός μου ἐξεπορεύετο ἐξ Ἰερουσαλὴμ, τοῦ θέσθαι τὸν βασιλέα εἰς τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ. |
| 21 | But Abisai the son of Sarvia answering, said: Shall Semei for these words not be put to death, because he cursed the Lord’s anointed? | Respondens vero Abisai filius Sarviae, dixit: Numquid pro his verbis non occidetur Semei, quia maledixit christo Domini? | Ὅτι ἔγνω ὁ δοῦλός σου ὅτι ἐγὼ ἥμαρτον, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἦλθον σήμερον πρότερος παντὸς Ἰσραὴλ καὶ οἴκου Ἰωσὴφ, τοῦ καταβῆναί με εἰς ἀπαντὴν τοῦ κυρίου μου τοῦ βασιλέως. |
| 22 | And David said: What have I to do with you, ye sons of Sarvia? why are you a satan this day to me? shall there any man be killed this day in Israel? do not I know that this day I am made king over Israel? | Et ait David: Quid mihi et vobis, filii Sarviae? cur efficimini mihi hodie in satan? ergone hodie interficietur vir in Israël? an ignoro hodie me factum regem super Israël? | Καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Ἀβεσσαὲ υἱὸς Σαρουίας, καὶ εἶπε, μὴ ἀντὶ τούτου οὐ θανατωθήσεται Σεμεῒ, ὅτι κατηράσατο τὸν χριστὸν Κυρίου; |
| 23 | And the king said to Semei: Thou shalt not die. And he swore unto him. | Et ait rex Semei: Non morieris. Iuravitque ei. | Καὶ εἶπε Δαυίδ, τί ἐμοὶ καὶ ὑμῖν, υἱοὶ Σαρουίας, ὅτι γίνεσθέ μοι σήμερον εἰς ἐπίβουλον; σήμερον οὐ θανατωθήσεταί τις ἀνὴρ ἐξ Ἰσραήλ· ὅτι οὐκ οἴδα εἰ σήμερον βασιλεύω ἐγὼ ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰσραήλ. |
| 24 | And Miphiboseth the son of Saul came down to meet the king, and he had neither washed his feet, nor trimmed his beard: nor washed his garments from the day that the king went out, until the day of his return in peace. | Miphiboseth quoque filius Saul descendit in occursum regis, illotis pedibus et intonsa barba: vestesque suas non laverat a die qua egressus fuerat rex, usque ad diem reversionis eius in pace. | Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς Σεμεῒ, οὐ μὴ ἀποθάνῃς· καὶ ὤμοσεν αὐτῷ ὁ βασιλεύς. |
| 25 | And when he met the king at Jerusalem, the king said to him: Why camest thou not with me, Miphiboseth? | Cumque Ierusalem occurrisset regi, dixit ei rex: Quare non venisti mecum, Miphiboseth? | Καὶ Μεμφιβοσθὲ υἱὸς υἱοῦ Σαοὺλ κατέβη εἰς ἀπαντὴν τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ οὐκ ἐθεράπευσε τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ, οὐδὲ ὠνυχίσατο, οὐδὲ ἐποίησε τὸν μύστακα αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἀπέπλυνεν, ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας ἧς ἀπῆλθεν ὁ βασιλεὺς, ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ἧς αὐτὸς παρεγένετο ἐν εἰρήνῃ. |
| 26 | And he answering, said: My lord, O king, my servant despised me: for I thy servant spoke to him to saddle me an ass, that I might get on and go with the king: for I thy servant am lame. | Et respondens ait: Domine mi rex, servus meus contempsit me: dixique ei ego famulus tuus ut sterneret mihi asinum, et ascendens abirem cum rege: claudus enim sum servus tuus. | Καὶ ἐγένετο ὅτε εἰσῆλθεν εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ εἰς ἀπάντησιν τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ βασιλεὺς, τί ὅτι οὐκ ἐπορεύθης μετʼ ἐμοῦ, Μεμφιβοσθέ; |
| 27 | Moreover he hath also accused me thy servant to thee, my lord the king: but thou my lord the king art as an angel of God, do what pleaseth thee. | Insuper et accusavit me servum tuum ad te dominum meum regem: tu autem, domine mi rex, sicut angelus Dei es: fac quod placitum est tibi. | Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὸν Μεμφιβοσθὲ, κύριέ μου βασιλεῦ, ὁ δοῦλός μου παρελογίσατό με, ὅτι εἶπεν ὁ παῖς σου αὐτῷ, ἐπίσαξόν μοι τὴν ὄνον, καὶ ἐπιβῶ ἐπʼ αὐτὴν, καὶ πορεύσομαι μετὰ τοῦ βασιλέως, ὅτι χωλὸς ὁ δοῦλός σου. |
| 28 | For all of my father’s house were no better than worthy of death before my lord the king; and thou hast set me thy servant among the guests of thy table: what just complaint therefore have I? or what right to cry any more to the king? | Neque enim fuit domus patris mei, nisi morti obnoxia domino meo regi: tu autem posuisti me servum tuum inter convivas mensae tuae: quid ergo habeo iustae querelae? aut quid possum ultra vociferari ad regem? | Καὶ μεθώδευσεν ἐν τῷ δούλῳ σου πρὸς τὸν κύριόν μου τὸν βασιλέα· καὶ ὁ κύριός μου ὁ βασιλεὺς ὡς ἄγγελος τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ ποίησον τὸ ἀγαθὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου. |
| 29 | Then the king said to him: Why speakest thou any more? what I have said is determined: thou and Siba divide the possessions. | Ait ergo ei rex: Quid ultra loqueris? fixum est quod locutus sum: tu et Siba dividite possessiones. | Ὅτι οὐκ ἦν πᾶς ὁ οἶκος τοῦ πατρός μου, ἀλλʼ ἢ ὅτι ἄνδρες θανάτου τῷ κυρίῳ μου τῷ βασιλεῖ, καὶ ἔθηκας τὸν δοῦλόν σου ἐν τοῖς ἐσθίουσι τὴν τράπεζάν σου· καὶ τί ἐστι μοὶ ἔτι δικαίωμα, καὶ τοῦ κεκραγέναι με ἔτι πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα; |
| 30 | And Miphiboseth answered the king: Yea, let him take all, for as much as my lord the king is returned peaceably into his house. | Responditque Miphiboseth regi: Etiam cuncta accipiat, postquam reversus est dominus meus rex pacifice in domum suam. | Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ βασιλεὺς, ἱνατί λαλεῖς ἔτι τοὺς λόγους σου; εἶπον, σὺ καὶ Σιβὰ διελεῖσθε τὸν ἀγρόν. |
| 31 | Berzellai also the Galaadite coming down from Rogelim, brought the king over the Jordan, being ready also to wait on him beyond the river. | Berzellai quoque Galaadites, descendens de Rogelim, traduxit regem Iordanem, paratus etiam ultra fluvium prosequi eum. | Καὶ εἶπε Μεμφιβοσθὲ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα, καί γε τὰ πάντα λαβέτω, μετὰ τὸ παραγενέσθαι τὸν κύριόν μου τὸν βασιλέα ἐν εἰρήνῃ εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ. |
| 32 | Now Berzellai the Galaadite was of a great age, that is to say, fourscore years old, and he provided the king with sustenance when he abode in the camp: for he was a man exceeding rich. | Erat autem Berzellai Galaadites senex valde, id est, octogenarius, et ipse praebuit alimenta regi cum moraretur in castris: fuit quippe vir dives nimis. | Καὶ Βερζελλὶ ὁ Γαλααδίτης κατέβη ἐκ Ῥωγελλὶμ, καὶ διέβη μετὰ τοῦ βασιλέως τὸν Ἰορδάνην ἐκπέμψαι αὐτὸν τὸν Ἰορδάνην. |
| 33 | And the king said to Berzellai: Come with me that thou mayest rest secure with me in Jerusalem. | Dixit itaque rex ad Berzellai: Veni mecum, ut requiescas securus mecum in Ierusalem. | Καὶ Βερζελλὶ ἀνὴρ πρεσβύτερος σφόδρα, υἱὸς ὀγδοήκοντα ἐτῶν, καὶ αὐτὸς διέθρεψε τὸν βασιλέα ἐν τῷ οἰκεῖν αὐτὸν ἐν Μαναῒμ, ὅτι ἀνὴρ μέγας ἦν σφόδρα. |
| 34 | And Berzellai said to the king: How many are the days of the years of my life, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem? | Et ait Berzellai ad regem: Quot sunt dies annorum vitae meae, ut ascendam cum rege in Ierusalem? | Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς Βερζελλὶ, σὺ διαβήσῃ μετʼ ἐμοῦ, καὶ διαθρέψω τὸ γῆράς σου μετʼ ἐμοῦ ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ. |
| 35 | I am this day fourscore years old, are my senses quick to discern sweet and bitter? or can meat or drink delight thy servant? or can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? why should thy servant be a burden to my lord, the king? | Octogenarius sum hodie: numquid vigent sensus mei ad discernendum suave aut amarum? aut delectare potest servum tuum cibus et potus? vel audire possum ultra vocem cantorum atque cantatricum? quare servus tuus sit oneri domino meo regi? | Καὶ εἶπε Βερζελλὶ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα, πόσαι ἡμέραι ἐτῶν ζωῆς μου, ὅτι ἀναβήσομαι μετὰ τοῦ βασιλέως εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ; |
| 36 | I thy servant will go on a little way from the Jordan with thee: I need not this recompense. | Paululum procedam famulus tuus ab Iordane tecum: non indigeo hac vicissitudine, | Υἱὸς ὀγδοήκοντα ἐτῶν ἐγώ εἰμι σήμερον· εἰ μὴν γνώσομαι ἀναμέσον ἀγαθοῦ καὶ κακοῦ; εἰ γεύσεται ὁ δοῦλός σου ἔτι ὃ φάγομαι ἢ πίομαι; ἢ ἀκούσομαι ἔτι φωνὴν ᾀδόντων καὶ ᾀδουσῶν; καὶ ἱνατί ἔσται ἔτι ὁ δοῦλός σου εἰς φορτίον ἐπὶ τὸν κύριόν μου τὸν βασιλέα; |
| 37 | But I beseech thee let thy servant return, and die in my own city, and be buried by the sepulchre of my father, and of my mother. But there is thy servant Chamaam, let him go with thee, my lord, the king, and do to him whatsoever seemeth good to thee. | sed obsecro ut revertar servus tuus, et moriar in civitate mea, et sepeliar iuxta sepulchrum patris mei et matris meae. Est autem servus tuus Chamaam: ipse vadat tecum, domine mi rex, et fac ei quidquid tibi bonum videtur. | Ὡς βραχὺ διαβήσεται ὁ δοῦλός σου τὸν Ἰορδάνην μετὰ τοῦ βασιλέως· καὶ ἱνατί ἀνταποδίδωσί μοι ὁ βασιλεὺς τὴν ἀνταπόδοσιν ταύτην; |
| 38 | Then the king said to him: Let Chamaam go over with me, and I will do for him whatsoever shall please thee, and all that thou shalt ask of me, thou shalt obtain. | Dixit itaque ei rex: Mecum transeat Chamaam, et ego faciam ei quidquid tibi placuerit: et omne quod petieris a me, impetrabis. | Καθισάτω δὴ ὁ δοῦλός σου, καὶ ἀποθανοῦμαι ἐν τῇ πόλει μου παρὰ τῷ τάφῳ τοῦ πατρός μου καὶ τῆς μητρός μου· καὶ ἰδοὺ ὁ δοῦλός σου Χαμαὰμ διαβήσεται μετὰ τοῦ κυρίου μου τοῦ βασιλέως· καὶ ποίησον αὐτῷ τὸ ἀγαθὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου. |
| 39 | And when all the people and the king had passed over the Jordan, the king kissed Berzellai, and blessed him: and he returned to his own place. | Cumque transisset universus populus et rex Iordanem, osculatus est rex Berzellai, et benedixit ei: et ille reversus est in locum suum. | Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς, μετʼ ἐμοῦ διαβήτω Χαμαὰμ, κᾀγὼ ποιήσω αὐτῷ τὸ ἀγαθὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς μου, καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἂν ἐκλέξῃ ἐπʼ ἐμοὶ, ποιήσω σοι. |
| 40 | So the king went on to Galgal, and Chamaam with him. Now all the people of Juda had brought the king over, and only half of the people of Israel were there. | Transivit ergo rex in Galgalam, et Chamaam cum eo. Omnis autem populus Iuda traduxerat regem, et media tantum pars adfuerat de populo Israël. | Καὶ διέβη πᾶς ὁ λαὸς τὸν Ἰορδάνην, καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς διέβη, καὶ κατεφίλησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὸν Βερζελλὶ, καὶ εὐλόγησεν αὐτὸν, καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτοῦ. |
| 41 | Therefore all the men of Israel running together to the king, said to him: Why have our brethren the men of Juda stolen thee away, and have brought the king and his household over the Jordan, and all the men of David with him? | Itaque omnes viri Israël concurrentes ad regem dixerunt ei: Quare te furati sunt fratres nostri viri Iuda, et traduxerunt regem et domum eius Iordanem, omnesque viros David cum eo? | Καὶ διέβη ὁ βασιλεὺς εἰς Γάλγαλα, καὶ Χαμαὰμ διέβη μετʼ αὐτοῦ· καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς Ἰούδα διαβαίνοντες μετὰ τοῦ βασιλέως, καί γε τὸ ἥμισυ τοῦ λαοῦ Ἰσραήλ. |
| 42 | And all the men of Juda answered the men of Israel: Because the king is nearer to me: why art thou angry for this matter? have we eaten any thing of the king’s, or have any gifts been given us? | Et respondit omnis vir Iuda ad viros Israël: Quia mihi propior est rex: cur irasceris super hac re? numquid comedimus aliquid ex rege, aut munera nobis data sunt? | Καὶ ἰδοὺ πᾶς ἀνὴρ Ἰσραὴλ παρεγένοντο πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα, καὶ εἶπε πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα, τί ὅτι ἔκλεψάν σε οἱ ἀδελφοὶ ἡμῶν ἀνὴρ Ἰούδα, καὶ διεβίβασαν τὸν βασιλέα καὶ τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ τὸν Ἰορδάνην, καὶ πάντες ἄνδρες Δαυὶδ μετʼ αὐτοῦ; |
| 43 | And the men of Israel answered the men of Juda, and said: I have ten parts in the king more than thou, and David belongeth to me more than to thee: why hast thou done me a wrong, and why was it not told me first, that I might bring back my king? And the men of Juda answered more harshly than the men of Israel. | Et respondit vir Israël ad viros Iuda, et ait: Decem partibus maior ego sum apud regem, magisque ad me pertinet David quam ad te: cur fecisti mihi iniuriam, et non mihi nuntiatum est priori, ut reducerem regem meum? Durius autem responderunt viri Iuda viris Israël. | Καὶ ἀπεκρίθη πᾶς ἀνὴρ Ἰούδα πρὸς ἄνδρα Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ εἶπαν, διότι ἐγγίζει πρὸς μὲ ὁ βασιλεύς· καὶ ἱνατί οὕτως ἐθυμώθης περὶ τοῦ λόγου τούτου; μὴ βρώσει ἐφάγαμεν ἐκ τοῦ βασιλέως, ἢ δόμα ἔδωκεν, ἢ ἄρσιν ᾖρεν ἡμῖν; |
