|
| στήσας τοὺς ἱερεῖς κατ᾿ ἐφημερίας ἐστολισμένους ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ τοῦ Κυρίου. | having set the priests according to their daily courses, being arrayed in long garments, in the temple of the Lord. |

|
| καὶ εἶπε τοῖς Λευίταις, ἱεροδούλοις τοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ, ἁγιάσαι ἑαυτοὺς τῷ Κυρίῳ ἐν τῇ θέσει τῆς ἁγίας κιβωτοῦ τοῦ Κυρίου ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ, ᾧ ᾠκοδόμησε Σαλωμὼν ὁ τοῦ Δαυὶδ ὁ βασιλεύς· | And he spake unto the Levites, the holy ministers of Israel, that they should hallow themselves unto the Lord, to set the holy ark of the Lord in the house that king Solomon the son of David had built: |
|

|

|
| οὐκ ἔσται ὑμῖν ἆραι ἐπ᾿ ὤμων αὐτήν· καὶ νῦν λατρεύετε τῷ Κυρίῳ Θεῷ ὑμῶν καὶ θεραπεύετε τὸ ἔθνος αὐτοῦ ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ ἑτοιμάσατε κατὰ τὰς πατριὰς καὶ τὰς φυλὰς ὑμῶν κατὰ τὴν γραφὴν Δαυὶδ βασιλέως ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ κατὰ τὴν μεγαλειότητα Σαλωμὼν τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ. | and said, Ye shall no more bear the ark upon your shoulders: now therefore serve the Lord your God, and minister unto his people Israel, and prepare you after your families and kindreds, |
|

|

|
| καὶ στάντες ἐν τῷ ἁγίῳ κατὰ τὴν μεριδαρχίαν τὴν πατρικὴν ὑμῶν τῶν Λευιτῶν, τῶν ἔμπροσθεν τῶν ἀδελφῶν ὑμῶν υἱῶν ᾿Ισραήλ, | according as David the king of Israel prescribed, and according to the magnificence of Solomon his son: and standing in the temple according to the several dignity of the families of you the Levites, who minister in the presence of your brethren the children of Israel, |
|
6
|
6
|
| ἐν τάξει θύσατε τὸ πάσχα καὶ τὰς θυσίας ἑτοιμάσατε τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς ὑμῶν καὶ ποιήσατε τὸ πάσχα κατὰ τὸ πρόσταγμα τοῦ Κυρίου τὸ δοθὲν τῷ Μωυσῇ. | offer the passover in order, and make ready the sacrifices for your brethren, and keep the passover according to the commandment of the Lord, which was given unto Moses. |
|

|
| καὶ ἐδωρήσατο ᾿Ιωσίας τῷ λαῷ τῷ εὑρεθέντι ἀρνῶν καὶ ἐρίφων τριάκοντα χιλιάδας, μόσχους τρισχιλίους· ταῦτα ἐκ τῶν βασιλικῶν ἐδόθη κατ᾿ ἐπαγγελίαν τῷ λαῷ καὶ τοῖς ἱερεῦσι καὶ Λευίταις. | And unto the people that was found there Josias gave thirty thousand lambs and kids, and three thousand calves: these things were given of the king's allowance, according as he promised, to the people, to the priests and to the Levites. |
|
8
|
8
|
| καὶ ἔδωκε Χελκίας καὶ Ζαχαρίας καὶ ῾Ησκῆλος οἱ ἐπιστάται τοῦ ἱεροῦ τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν εἰς πάσχα πρόβατα δισχίλια ἑξακόσια, μόσχους τριακοσίους. | And Helkias, Zacharias, and Syelus, the governors of the temple, gave to the priests for the passover two thousand and six hundred sheep, and three hundred calves. |
|
9
|
9
|
| καὶ ᾿Ιεχονίας καὶ Σαμαίας καὶ Ναθαναὴλ ὁ ἀδελφὸς καὶ ᾿Ασαβίας καὶ ᾿Οχιῆλος καὶ ᾿Ιωρὰμ χιλίαρχοι ἔδωκαν τοῖς Λευίταις εἰς πάσχα πρόβατα πεντακιχίλια, μόσχους ἑπτακοσίους. | And Jeconias, and Samaias, and Nathanael his brother, and Assabias, and Ochiel, and Joram, captains over thousands, gave to the Levites for the passover five thousand sheep, and seven hundred calves. |
|
10
|
10
|
| καὶ ταῦτα τὰ γενόμενα· εὐπρεπῶς ἔστησαν οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευῖται ἔχοντες τὰ ἄζυμα κατὰ τὰς φυλὰς καὶ κατὰ τὰς μεριδαρχίας τῶν πατέρων ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ λαοῦ προσενεγκεῖν τῷ Κυρίῳ κατὰ τὰ γεγραμμένα ἐν βιβλίῳ Μωυσῆ, καὶ οὕτω τὸ πρωϊνόν. | And when these things were done, the priests and Levites, having the unleavened bread, stood in very comely order according to the kindreds, |
|
11
|
11
|
| καὶ ὤπτησαν τὸ πάσχα πυρὶ ὡς καθήκει, καὶ τὰς θυσίας ἥψησαν ἐν τοῖς χαλκείοις καὶ λέβησι μετ᾿ εὐωδίας καὶ ἀπήνεγκαν πᾶσι τοῖς ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ. | and according to the several dignities of the fathers, before the people, to offer to the Lord, as it is written in the book of Moses: and thus did they in the morning. |
|
12
|
12
|
| μετὰ δὲ ταῦτα ἡτοίμασαν ἑαυτοῖς τε καὶ τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν ἀδελφοῖς αὐτῶν υἱοῖς ᾿Ααρών· | And they roasted the passover with fire, as appertaineth: as for the sacrifices, they sod them in brass pots and pans with a good savour, |
|
13
|
13
|
| οἱ γὰρ ἱερεῖς ἀνέφερον τὰ στέατα ἕως ἀωρίας, καὶ οἱ Λευῖται ἡτοίμασαν ἑαυτοῖς καὶ τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν ἀδελφοῖς αὐτῶν υἱοῖς ᾿Ααρών. | and set them before all the people: and afterward they prepared for themselves, and for the priests their brethren, the sons of Aaron. |
|
14
|
14
|
| καὶ οἱ ἱεροψάλται υἱοὶ ᾿Ασὰφ ἦσαν ἐπὶ τῆς τάξεως αὐτῶν, κατὰ τὰ ὑπὸ Δαυὶδ τεταγμένα καὶ ᾿Ασὰφ καὶ Ζαχαρίας καὶ ᾿Εδδινοῦς ὁ παρά τοῦ βασιλέως, | For the priests offered the fat until night: and the Levites prepared for themselves, and the priests their brethren, the sons of Aaron. |
|
15
|
15
|
| καὶ οἱ θυρωροὶ ἐφ᾿ ἑκάστου πυλῶνος· οὐκ ἔστι παραβῆναι ἕκαστον τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ἐφημερίαν, οἱ γὰρ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτῶν οἱ Λευῖται ἡτοίμασαν αὐτοῖς. | The holy singers also, the sons of Asaph, were in their order, according to the appointment of David, to wit, Asaph, Zacharias, and Jeduthun, who was of the king's retinue. |
|
16
|
16
|
| καὶ συνετελέσθη τὰ τῆς θυσίας τοῦ Κυρίου ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ, ἀχθῆναι τὸ πάσχα καὶ προσαχθῆναι τὰς θυσίας ἐπὶ τὸ τοῦ Κυρίου θυσιαστήριον κατὰ τὴν ἐπιταγὴν τοῦ βασιλέως ᾿Ιωσίου. | Moreover the porters were at every gate; it was not lawful for any to go from his ordinary service: for their brethren the Levites prepared for them. |
|
17
|
17
|
| καὶ ἠγάγοσαν οἱ υἱοὶ ᾿Ισραὴλ οἱ εὑρεθέντες ἐν τῷ καιρῷ τούτῳ τὸ πάσχα καὶ τὴν ἑορτὴν τῶν ἀζύμων ἡμέρας ἑπτά. | Thus were the things that belonged to the sacrifices of the Lord accomplished in that day, that they might hold the passover, |
|
18
|
18
|
| καὶ οὐκ ἤχθη τὸ πάσχα τοιοῦτον ἐν τῷ ᾿Ισραὴλ ἀπὸ τῶν χρόνων Σαμουὴλ τοῦ προφήτου, | and offer sacrifices upon the altar of the Lord, according to the commandment of king Josias. |
|
19
|
19
|
| καὶ πάντες οἱ βασιλεῖς τοῦ ᾿Ισραὴλ οὐκ ἠγάγοσαν πάσχα τοιοῦτον, οἷον ἤγαγεν ᾿Ιωσίας καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευῖται καὶ οἱ ᾿Ιουδαῖοι καὶ πᾶς ᾿Ισραὴλ ὁ εὑρεθεὶς ἐν τῇ κατοικήσει αὐτῶν ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ· | So the children of Israel which were present held the passover at that time, and the feast of sweet bread seven days. |
|
20
|
20
|
| ὀκτωκαιδεκάτῳ ἔτει βασιλεύοντος ᾿Ιωσίου ἤχθη τὸ πάσχα τοῦτο. | And such a passover was not kept in Israel since the time of the prophet Samuel. |
|
21
|
21
|
| καὶ ὠρθώθη τὰ ἔργα ᾿Ιωσίου ἐνώπιον τοῦ Κυρίου αὐτοῦ ἐν καρδίᾳ πλήρει εὐσεβείας. | Yea, all the kings of Israel held not such a passover as Josias, and the priests, and the Levites, and the Jews, held with all Israel that were found dwelling at Jerusalem. |
|
22
|
22
|
| καὶ τὰ κατ᾿ αὐτὸν δέ ἀναγέγραπται ἐν τοῖς ἔμπροσθεν χρόνοις, περὶ τῶν ἡμαρτηκότων καὶ ἠσεβηκότων εἰς τὸν Κύριον παρὰ πᾶν ἔθνος καὶ βασιλείαν, καὶ ἃ ἐλύπησαν αὐτὸν ἐν αἰσθήσει, καὶ οἱ λόγοι τοῦ Κυρίου ἀνέστησαν ἐπὶ ᾿Ισραήλ. | In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josias was this passover kept. |
|
23
|
23
|
| Καὶ μετὰ πᾶσαν τὴν πρᾶξιν ταύτην ᾿Ιωσίου συνέβη Φαραὼ βασιλέα Αἰγύπτου ἐλθόντα πόλεμον ἐγεῖραι ἐν Χαρκαμὺς ἐπὶ τοῦ Εὐφράτου, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν εἰς ἀπάντησιν αὐτῷ ᾿Ιωσίας. | And the works of Josias were upright before his Lord with an heart full of godliness. |
|
24
|
24
|
| καὶ διεπέμψατο πρὸς αὐτὸν βασιλεὺς Αἰγύπτου λέγων· τί ἐμοὶ καὶ σοί ἐστι, βασιλεῦ τῆς ᾿Ιουδαίας; | As for the things that came to pass in his time, they were written in former times, concerning those that sinned, and did wickedly against the Lord above all people and kingdoms, and how they grieved him exceedingly, so that the words of the Lord rose up against Israel. |
|
25
|
25
|
| οὐχὶ πρός σε ἐξαπέσταλμαι ὑπὸ Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ· ἐπὶ γὰρ τοῦ Εὐφράτου ὁ πόλεμός μου ἐστί. καὶ νῦν Κύριος μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ ἐστι, καὶ Κύριος μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ ἐπισπεύδων ἐστίν· ἀπόστηθι καὶ μὴ ἐναντιοῦ τῷ Κυρίῳ. | Now after all these acts of Josias it came to pass that Pharaoh the king of Egypt came to raise war at Carcamys upon Euphrates: and Josias went out against him. |
|
26
|
26
|
| καὶ οὐκ ἀπέστρεψεν ἑαυτὸν ᾿Ιωσίας ἐπὶ τὸ ἅρμα αὐτοῦ, ἀλλὰ πολεμεῖν αὐτὸν ἐπεχείρει, οὐ προσέχων ρήμασιν ῾Ιερεμίου προφήτου ἐκ στόματος Κυρίου· | But the king of Egypt sent to him, saying, What have I to do with thee, O king of Judea? |
|
27
|
27
|
| ἀλλὰ συνεστήσατο πρὸς αὐτὸν πόλεμον ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ Μαγεδδώ, καὶ κατέβησαν οἱ ἄρχοντες πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα ᾿Ιωσίαν. | I am not sent out from the Lord God against thee; for my war is upon Euphrates: and now the Lord is with me, yea the Lord is with me hasting me forward: depart from me, and be not against the Lord. |
|
28
|
28
|
| καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τοῖς παισὶν ἑαυτοῦ· ἀποστήσατέ με ἀπὸ τῆς μάχης, ἠσθένησα γὰρ λίαν. καὶ εὐθέως ἀπέστησαν αὐτὸν οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τῆς παρατάξεως, | Howbeit Josias did not turn back his chariot from him, but undertook to fight with him, not regarding the words of the prophet Jeremy spoken by the mouth of the Lord: |
|
29
|
29
|
| καὶ ἀνέβη ἐπὶ τὸ ἅρμα τὸ δευτέριον αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἀποκατασταθεὶς εἰς ῾Ιερουσαλήμ, μετήλλαξε τὸν βίον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν τῷ πατρικῷ τάφῳ. | but joined battle with him in the plain of Mageddo, and the princes came against king Josias. |
|
30
|
30
|
| καὶ ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ ᾿Ιουδαίᾳ ἐπένθησαν τὸν ᾿Ιωσίαν, καὶ ἐθρήνησεν ῾Ιερεμίας ὁ προφήτης ὑπὲρ ᾿Ιωσίου, καὶ οἱ προκαθήμενοι σὺν γυναιξὶν ἐθρηνοῦσαν αὐτὸν ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης· καὶ ἐξεδόθη τοῦτο γίνεσθαι ἀεὶ εἰς ἅπαν τὸ γένος ᾿Ισραήλ. | Then said the king unto his servants, Carry me away out of the battle; for I am very weak. And immediately his servants took him away out of the battle. |
|
31
|
31
|
| ταῦτα δὲ ἀναγέγραπται ἐν τῇ βίβλῳ τῶν ἱστορουμένων περὶ τῶν βασιλέων τῆς ᾿Ιουδαίας· καὶ τὸ καθ᾿ ἓν πραχθὲν τῆς πράξεως ᾿Ιωσίου καὶ τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ καὶ τῆς συνέσεως αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ νόμῳ Κυρίου, τά τε προπραχθέντα ὑπ᾿ αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ νῦν, ἱστόρηται ἐν τῷ βιβλίῳ τῶν βασιλέων ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ ᾿Ιούδα. | Then gat he up upon his second chariot; and being brought back to Jerusalem died, and was buried in his father's sepulchre. |
|
32
|
32
|
| Καὶ ἀναλαβόντες οἱ ἐκ τοῦ ἔθνους τὸν ᾿Ιεχονίαν υἱὸν ᾿Ιωσίου ἀνέδειξαν βασιλέα ἀντὶ ᾿Ιωσίου τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ὄντα ἐτῶν εἴκοσι τριῶν. | And in all Jewry they mourned for Josias, yea, Jeremy the prophet lamented for Josias, and the chief men with the women made lamentation for him unto this day: and this was given out for an ordinance to be done continually in all the nation of Israel. |
|
33
|
33
|
| καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ μῆνας τρεῖς. καὶ ἀπέστησεν αὐτὸν βασιλεὺς Αἰγύπτου τοῦ μὴ βασιλεύειν ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ | These things are written in the book of the stories of the kings of Judah, and every one of the acts that Josias did, and his glory, and his understanding in the law of the Lord; and the things that he had done before, and the things now recited, are reported in the book of the kings of Israel and Judea. |
|
34
|
34
|
| καὶ ἐζημίωσε τὸ ἔθνος ἀργυρίου ταλάντοις ἑκατὸν καὶ χρυσίου ταλάντῳ ἑνί. | And the people took Joachaz the son of Josias, and made him king instead of Josias his father when he was twenty and three years old. |
|
35
|
35
|
| καὶ ἀνέδειξε βασιλεὺς Αἰγύπτου βασιλέα ᾿Ιωακὶμ τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ βασιλέα τῆς ᾿Ιουδαίας καὶ ῾Ιερουσαλήμ. | And he reigned in Judea and in Jerusalem three months: and then the king of Egypt deposed him from reigning in Jerusalem. |
|
36
|
36
|
| καὶ ἔδησεν ᾿Ιωακὶμ τοὺς μεγιστᾶνας, Ζαράκην δὲ τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ συλλαβὼν ἀνήγαγεν ἐξ Αἰγύπτου. | And he set a tax upon the land of an hundred talents of silver and one talent of gold. |
|
37
|
37
|
| ᾿Ετῶν δὲ ἦν εἰκοσιπέντε ᾿Ιωακίμ, ὅτε ἐβασίλευσε τῆς ᾿Ιουδαίας καὶ ῾Ιερουσαλήμ, καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου. | The king of Egypt also made king Joacim his brother king of Judea and Jerusalem. |
|
38
|
38
|
| μετ᾿ αὐτὸν δὲ ἀνέβη Ναβουχοδονόσορ ὁ βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος καὶ δήσας αὐτὸν ἐν χαλκείῳ δεσμῷ καὶ ἀπήγαγεν εἰς Βαβυλῶνα. | And he bound Joacim and the nobles: but Zaraces his brother he apprehended, and brought him out of Egypt. |
|
39
|
39
|
| καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ἱερῶν σκευῶν τοῦ Κυρίου λαβὼν Ναβουχοδονόσορ καὶ ἀπενέγκας ἀπηρείσατο ἐν τῷ ναῷ αὐτοῦ ἐν Βαβυλῶνι. | Five and twenty years old was Joacim when he was made king in the land of Judea and Jerusalem; and he did evil before the Lord. |
|
40
|
40
|
| τὰ δὲ ἱστορηθέντα περὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ τῆς ἀκαθαρσίας αὐτοῦ καὶ δυσσεβείας ἀναγέγραπται ἐν τῇ βίβλῳ τῶν χρόνων τῶν βασιλέων. | Wherefore against him Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon came up, and bound him with a chain of brass, and carried him into Babylon. |
|
41
|
41
|
| Καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ἀντ᾿ αὐτοῦ ᾿Ιωακὶμ ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ· ὅτε γὰρ ἀνεδείχθη, ἦν ἐτῶν ὀκτώ. | Nabuchodonosor also took of the holy vessels of the Lord, and carried them away, and set them in his own temple at Babylon. |
|
42
|
42
|
| βασιλεύει δὲ μῆνας τρεῖς καὶ ἡμέρας δέκα ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν ἔναντι Κυρίου. | But those things that are recorded of him, and of his uncleanness and impiety, are written in the chronicles of the kings. |
|
43
|
43
|
| Καὶ μετ᾿ ἐνιαυτὸν ἀποστείλας Ναβουχοδονόσορ μετήγαγεν αὐτὸν εἰς Βαβυλῶνα ἅμα τοῖς ἱεροῖς σκεύεσι τοῦ Κυρίου | And Joacim his son reigned in his stead: he was made king being eighteen years old; |
|
44
|
44
|
| καὶ ἀνέδειξε Σεδεκίαν βασιλέα τῆς ᾿Ιουδαίας καὶ ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ ὄντα ἐτῶν εἴκοσιν ἑνός, βασιλεύει δὲ ἔτη ἕνδεκα, | and reigned but three months and ten days in Jerusalem; and did evil before the Lord. |
|
45
|
45
|
| καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου καὶ οὐκ ἐνετράπη ἀπὸ τῶν ρηθέντων λόγων ὑπὸ ῾Ιερεμίου τοῦ προφήτου ἐκ στόματος τοῦ Κυρίου. | So after a year Nabuchodonosor sent and caused him to be brought into Babylon with the holy vessels of the Lord. |
|
46
|
46
|
| καὶ ὁρκισθεὶς ἀπὸ τοῦ βασιλέως Ναβουχοδονόσορ τῷ ὀνόματι Κυρίου, ἐπιορκήσας ἀπέστη· καὶ σκληρύνας αὐτοῦ τὸν τράχηλον καὶ τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ παρέβη τὰ νόμιμα Κυρίου Θεοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ. | And made Sedecias king of Judea and Jerusalem, when he was one and twenty years old; and he reigned eleven years: |
|
47
|
47
|
| καὶ οἱ ἡγούμενοι δὲ τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ τῶν ἱερέων πολλὰ ἠσέβησαν καὶ ὑπὲρ πάσας τὰς ἀκαθαρσίας πάντων τῶν ἐθνῶν καὶ ἐμίαναν τὸ ἱερὸν τοῦ Κυρίου τὸ ἁγιαζόμενον ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ. | and he did evil also in the sight of the Lord, and cared not for the words that were spoken unto him by the prophet Jeremy from the mouth of the Lord. |
|
48
|
48
|
| καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ Θεὸς τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν διὰ τοῦ ἀγγέλου αὐτοῦ μετακαλέσαι αὐτούς, καθότι ἐφείδετο αὐτῶν καὶ τοῦ σκηνώματος αὐτοῦ. | And after that king Nabuchodonosor had made him to swear by the name of the Lord, he forswore himself, and rebelled; and hardening his neck, and his heart, he transgressed the laws of the Lord God of Israel. |
|
49
|
49
|
| αὐτοὶ δὲ ἐμυκτήρισαν ἐν τοῖς ἀγγέλοις αὐτοῦ καὶ ᾗ ἡμέρᾳ ἐλάλησε Κύριος ἦσαν ἐκπαίζοντες τοὺς προφήτας αὐτοῦ, ἕως οὗ θυμωθέντα αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τῷ ἔθνει αὐτοῦ διὰ τὰ δυσσεβήματα προστάξαι ἀναβιβάσαι ἐπ᾿ αὐτοὺς τοὺς βασιλεῖς τῶν Χαλδαίων. | The governors also of the people and of the priests did many things against the laws, and passed all the pollutions of all nations, and defiled the temple of the Lord, which was sanctified in Jerusalem. |
|
50
|
50
|
| οὗτοι ἀπέκτειναν τοὺς νεανίσκους αὐτῶν ἐν ρομφαίᾳ περικύκλῳ τοῦ ἁγίου αὐτῶν ἱεροῦ καὶ οὐκ ἐφείσαντο νεανίσκου καὶ παρθένου καὶ πρεσβύτου καὶ νεωτέρου, ἀλλὰ πάντας παρέδωκαν εἰς τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν. | Nevertheless the God of their fathers sent by his messenger to call them back, because he spared them and his tabernacle also. |
|
51
|
51
|
| καὶ πάντα τὰ ἱερὰ σκεύη τοῦ Κυρίου τὰ μεγάλα καὶ τὰ μικρὰ καὶ τὰς κιβωτοὺς τοῦ Κυρίου καὶ τὰς βασιλικὰς ἀποθήκας ἀναλαβόντες ἀπήνεγκαν εἰς Βαβυλῶνα. | But they had his messengers in derision; and, in the day that the Lord spake unto them, they made a sport of his prophets: |
|
52
|
52
|
| καὶ ἐνεπύρισαν τὸν οἶκον τοῦ Κυρίου καί ἔλυσαν τὰ τείχη ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ καὶ τοὺς πύργους αὐτῆς ἐνεπύρισαν ἐν πυρὶ | so far forth, that he, being wroth with his people for their great ungodliness, commanded the kings of the Chaldees to come up against them; |
|
53
|
53
|
| καὶ συνετέλεσαν πάντα τὰ ἔνδοξα αὐτῆς ἀχρειῶσαι, καὶ τοὺς ἐπιλοίπους ἀπήγαγε μετὰ ρομφαίας εἰς Βαβυλῶνα. | who slew their young men with the sword, yea, even within the compass of their holy temple, and spared neither young man nor maid, old man nor child, among them; for he delivered all into their hands. |
|
54
|
54
|
| καὶ ἦσαν παῖδες αὐτῷ καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ μέχρι τοῦ βασιλεῦσαι Πέρσας εἰς ἀναπλήρωσιν ρήματος τοῦ Κυρίου ἐν στόματι ῾Ιερεμίου· | And they took all the holy vessels of the Lord, both great and small, with the vessels of the ark of God, and the king's treasures, and carried them away into Babylon. |
|
55
|
55
|
| ἕως τοῦ εὐδοκῆσαι τὴν γῆν τὰ σάββατα αὐτῆς, πάντα τὸν χρόνον τῆς ἐρημώσεως αὐτῆς, σαββατιεῖ εἰς συμπλήρωσιν ἐτῶν ἑβδομήκοντα. | As for the house of the Lord, they burnt it, and brake down the walls of Jerusalem, and set fire upon her towers: |

|
| ΒΑΣΙΛΕΥΟΝΤΟΣ Κύρου Περσῶν ἔτους πρώτου εἰς συντέλειαν ρήματος Κυρίου ἐν στόματι ῾Ιερεμίου, | In the first year of Cyrus king of the Persians, that the word of the Lord might be accomplished, that he had promised by the mouth of Jeremy; |
|
2
|
2
|
| ἤγειρε Κύριος τὸ πνεῦμα Κύρου βασιλέωςΠερσῶν, καὶ ἐκήρυξεν ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ βασιλείᾳ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἅμα διά γραπτῶν λέγων· | the Lord raised up the spirit of Cyrus the king of the Persians, and he made proclamation through all his kingdom, and also by writing, |
|

|

|
| τάδε λέγει ὁ βασιλεὺς Περσῶν Κῦρος· ἐμὲ ἀνέδειξε βασιλέα τῆς οἰκουμένης ὁ Κύριος τοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ, Κύριος ὁ ῞Υψιστος. | saying, Thus saith Cyrus king of the Persians; The Lord of Israel, the most high Lord, hath made me king of the whole world, |
|
4
|
4
|
| καὶ ἐσήμηνέ μοι οἰκοδομῆσαι αὐτῷ οἶκον ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ, τῇ ἐν τῇ ᾿Ιουδαίᾳ. | and commanded me to build him an house at Jerusalem in Jewry. |
|
5
|
5
|
| εἴ τις ἐστὶν οὖν ὑμῶν ἐκ τοῦ ἔθνους αὐτοῦ, ἔστω ὁ Κύριος αὐτοῦ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀναβὰς εἰς τὴν ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ τὴν ἐν τῇ ᾿Ιουδαίᾳ οἰκοδομείτω τὸν οἶκον τοῦ Κυρίου τοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ (οὗτος ὁ Κύριος ὁ κατασκηνώσας ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ). | If therefore there be any of you that are of his people, let his Lord be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem that is in Judea, and build the house of the Lord of Israel: for he is the Lord that dwelleth in Jerusalem. |
|
6
|

|
| ὅσοι οὖν κατὰ τοὺς τόπους οἰκοῦσι, βοηθείτωσαν αὐτῷ οἱ ἐν τῷ τόπῳ αὐτοῦ ἐν χρυσίῳ καὶ ἐν ἀργυρίῳ, ἐν δόσεσι μεθ᾿ ἵππων καὶ κτηνῶν σὺν τοῖς ἄλλοις τοῖς κατ᾿ εὐχὰς προστεθειμένοις εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν τοῦ Κυρίου τὸ ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ. | Whosoever then dwell in the places about, let them help him, those, I say, that are his neighbours, with gold, and with silver, |
|

|

|
| καὶ καταστήσαντες οἱ ἀρχίφυλοι τῶν πατριῶν τῆς ᾿Ιούδα καὶ Βενιαμὶν φυλῆς καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευῖται καὶ πάντων, ὧν ἤγειρε Κύριος τὸ πνεῦμα ἀναβῆναι οἰκοδομῆσαι οἶκον τῷ Κυρίῳ τὸ ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ, | with gifts, with horses, and with cattle, and other things, which have been set forth by vow, for the temple of the Lord at Jerusalem. |
|

|
| καὶ οἱ περικύκλῳ αὐτῶν ἐβοήθησαν ἐν πᾶσιν ἐν ἀργυρίῳ καὶ χρυσίῳ, ἵπποις, κτήνεσι καὶ εὐχαῖς ὡς πλείσταις πολλῶν, ὧν ὁ νοῦς ἠγέρθη. | Then the chief of the families of Judea and of the tribe of Benjamin stood up; the priests also, and the Levites, and all they whose mind the Lord had moved to go up, and to build an house for the Lord at Jerusalem, |

| καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Κῦρος ἐξήνεγκε τὰ ἱερὰ σκεύη τοῦ Κυρίου, ἃ μετήνεγκε Ναβουχοδονόσορ ἐξ ῾Ιερουσαλήμ, καὶ ἀπηρείσατο αὐτὰ ἐν τῷ εἰδωλείῳ αὐτοῦ· | and they that dwelt round about them, and helped them in all things with silver and gold, with horses and cattle, and with very many free gifts of a great number whose minds were stirred up thereto. |
|
10
|
10
|
| ἐξενέγκας δὲ αὐτὰ Κῦρος ὁ βασιλεὺς Περσῶν παρέδωκεν αὐτὰ Μιθραδάτῃ τῷ ἑαυτοῦ γαζοφύλακι· | King Cyrus also brought forth the holy vessels which Nabuchodonosor had carried away from Jerusalem, and had set up in his temple of idols. |
|
11
|
11
|
| διά δὲ τούτου παρεδόθησαν Σαμανασσάρῳ προστάτῃ τῆς ᾿Ιουδαίας. | Now when Cyrus king of the Persians had brought them forth, he delivered them to Mithridates his treasurer: |
|
12
|
12
|
| ὁ δὲ τούτων ἀριθμὸς ἦν· σπονδεῖα χρυσᾶ χίλια, σπονδεῖα ἀργυρᾶ χίλια, θυΐσκαι ἀργυραῖ εἰκοσιεννέα, φιάλαι χρυσαῖ τριάκοντα, ἀργυραῖ δισχίλιαι τετρακόσιαι δέκα καὶ ἄλλα σκεύη χίλια. | and by him they were delivered to Sanabassar the governor of Judea. |
|
13
|
13
|
| τὰ δὲ πάντα σκεύη διεκομίσθη, χρυσᾶ καὶ ἀργυρᾶ, πεντακισχίλια τετρακόσια ἑξηκονταεννέα· | And this was the number of them; A thousand golden cups, and a thousand of silver, censers of silver twenty-nine, vials of gold thirty, and of silver two thousand four hundred and ten, and a thousand other vessels. |
|
14
|
14
|
| ἀνηνέχθη δὲ ὑπὸ Σαμανασσάρου ἅμα τοῖς ἐκ τῆς αἰχμαλωσίας ἐκ Βαβυλῶνος εἰς ῾Ιερουσαλήμ. | So all the vessels of gold and of silver, which were carried away, were five thousand four hundred threescore and nine. |
|
15
|
15
|
| ᾿Εν δὲ τοῖς ἐπὶ ᾿Αρταξέρξου τῶν Περσῶν βασιλέως χρόνοις κατέγραψαν αὐτῷ κατὰ τῶν κατοικούντων ἐν τῇ ᾿Ιουδαίᾳ καὶ ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ Βήλεμος καὶ Μιθραδάτης καὶ Ταβέλλιος καὶ Ράθυμος καὶ Βεέλτεθμος καὶ Σαμέλλιος ὁ γραμματεὺς καὶ οἱ λοιποὶ οἱ τούτοις συντασσόμενοι, οἰκοῦντες δὲ ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ καὶ τοῖς ἄλλοις τόποις, τὴν ὑπογεγραμμένην ἐπιστολήν· | These were brought back by Sanabassar, together with them of the captivity, from Babylon to Jerusalem. |
|
16
|
16
|
| «Βασιλεῖ ᾿Αρταξέρξῃ κυρίῳ οἱ παῖδές σου Ράθυμος ὁ τὰ προσπίπτοντα καὶ Σαμέλλιος ὁ γραμματεὺς καὶ ἐπίλοιποι τῆς βουλῆς αὐτῶν καὶ κριταὶ οἱ ἐν Κοίλῃ Συρίᾳ καὶ Φοινίκῃ· | But in the time of Artaxerxes king of the Persians Belemus, and Mithridates, and Tabellius, and Rathumus, and Beeltethmus, and Samellius the secretary, with the rest that were in commission with them, dwelling in Samaria and other places, wrote unto him against them that dwelt in Judea and Jerusalem this letter following; |
|
17
|
17
|
| καὶ νῦν γνωστὸν ἔστω τῷ κυρίῳ βασιλεῖ, ὅτι οἱ ᾿Ιουδαῖοι ἀναβάντες παρ᾿ ὑμῶν πρὸς ἡμᾶς ἐλθόντες εἰς ῾Ιερουσαλήμ, τὴν πόλιν τὴν ἀποστάτιν καὶ πονηρὰν οἰκοδομοῦσι, τάς τε ἀγορὰς αὐτῆς καὶ τὰ τείχη θεραπεύουσι καὶ ναὸν ὑποβάλλονται. | To king Artaxerxes our lord, Thy servants, Rathumus the storywriter, and Samellius the scribe, and the rest of their council, and the judges that are in Celosyria and Phenice. |
|
18
|
18
|
| ἐὰν οὖν ἡ πόλις αὕτη οἰκοδομηθῇ καὶ τὰ τείχη συντελεσθῇ, φορολογίαν οὐ μὴ ὑπομείνωσι δοῦναι, ἀλλὰ καὶ βασιλεῦσιν ἀντιστήσονται. καὶ ἐπεὶ ἐνεργεῖται τὰ κατὰ τὸν ναόν, καλῶς ἔχειν ὑπολαμβάνομεν μὴ ὑπεριδεῖν τὸ τοιοῦτον, ἀλλὰ προσφωνῆσαι τῷ κυρίῳ βασιλεῖ, ὅπως, ἂν φαίνηταί σοι, ἐπισκεφθῇ ἐν τοῖς ἀπὸ τῶν πατέρων σου βιβλίοις· | Be it now known to the lord the king, that the Jews that are come up from you to us, being come into Jerusalem, that rebellious and wicked city, do build the marketplaces, and repair the walls of it, and do lay the foundation of the temple. |
|
19
|
19
|
| καὶ εὑρήσεις ἐν τοῖς ὑπομνηματισμοῖς γεγραμμένα περὶ τούτων καὶ γνώσῃ ὅτι ἡ πόλις ἐκείνη ἦν ἀποστάτις καὶ βασιλεῖς καὶ πόλεις ἐνοχλοῦσα καὶ οἱ ᾿Ιουδαῖοι ἀποστάται καὶ πολιορκίας συνιστάμενοι ἐν αὐτῇ ἔτι ἐξ αἰῶνος, δι᾿ ἣν αἰτίαν καὶ ἡ πόλις αὕτη ἠρημώθη. | Now if this city and the walls thereof be made up again, they will not only refuse to give tribute, but also rebel against kings. |
|
20
|
20
|
| νῦν οὖν ὑποδεικνύομέν σοι, κύριε βασιλεῦ, ὅτι ἐὰν ἡ πόλις αὕτη οἰκοδομηθῇ καὶ τὰ ταύτης τείχη ἀνασταθῇ, κάθοδος οὐκ ἔτι σοι ἔσται εἰς Κοίλην Συρίαν καὶ Φοινίκην». | And forasmuch as the things pertaining to the temple are now in hand, we think it meet not to neglect such a matter, |
|
21
|
21
|
| τότε ἀντέγραψεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ραθύμῳ τῷ γράφοντι τὰ προσπίπτοντα καὶ Βεελτέθμῳ καὶ Σαμελλίῳ γραμματεῖ καὶ τοῖς λοιποῖς τοῖς συντασσομένοις καὶ οἰκοῦσιν ἐν τῇ Σαμαρείᾳ καὶ Συρίᾳ καὶ Φοινίκῃ τὰ ὑπογεγραμμένα· | but to speak unto our lord the king, to the intent that, if it be thy pleasure, it may be sought out in the books of thy fathers: |
|
22
|
22
|
| «᾿Ανέγνων τὴν ἐπιστολήν, ἣν πεπόμφατε πρός με. ἐπέταξα οὖν ἐπισκέψασθαι, καὶ εὑρέθη ὅτι ἡ πόλις ἐκείνη ἐστὶν ἐξ αἰῶνος βασιλεῦσιν ἀντιπαρατάσσουσα | and thou shalt find in the chronicles what is written concerning these things, and shalt understand that that city was rebellious, troubling both kings and cities: |
|
23
|
23
|
| καὶ οἱ ἄνθρωποι ἀποστάσεις καὶ πολέμους ἐν αὐτῇ συντελοῦντες καὶ βασιλεῖς ἰσχυροὶ καὶ σκληροὶ ἦσαν ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ κυριεύοντες καὶ φορολογοῦντες Κοίλην Συρίαν καὶ Φοινίκην. | and that the Jews were rebellious, and raised always wars therein; for the which cause even this city was made desolate. |
|
24
|
24
|
| νῦν οὖν ἐπέταξα ἀποκωλῦσαι τοὺς ἀνθρώπους ἐκείνους τοῦ οἰκοδομῆσαι τὴν πόλιν καὶ προνοηθῆναι ὅπως μηδὲν παρὰ ταῦτα γένηται καὶ μὴ προβῇ ἐπὶ πλεῖον τὰ τῆς κακίας εἰς τὸ βασιλεῖς ἐνοχλῆσαι». | Wherefore now we do declare unto thee, O lord the king, that if this city be built again, and the walls thereof set up anew, thou shalt from henceforth have no passage into Celosyria and Phenice. |
|
25
|
25
|
| τότε ἀναγνωσθέντων τῶν παρὰ τοῦ βασιλέως ᾿Αρταξέρξου γραφέντων, Ράθυμος καὶ Σαμέλλιος ὁ γραμματεὺς καὶ οἱ τούτοις συντασσόμενοι ἀναζεύξαντες εἰς ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ κατὰ σπουδὴν μεθ᾿ ἵππου καὶ ὄχλου παρατάξεως, ἤρξαντο κωλύειν τοὺς οἰκοδομοῦντας. καὶ ἤργει ἡ οἰκοδομὴ τοῦ ἱεροῦ τοῦ ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ μέχρι τοῦ δευτέρου ἔτους τῆς βασιλείας Δαρείου τοῦ Περσῶν βασιλέως. | Then the king wrote back again to Rathumus the storywriter, to Beeltethmus, to Semellius the scribe, and to the rest that were in commission, and dwellers in Samaria and Syria and Phenice, after this manner; |

| ΚΑΙ βασιλεὺς Δαρεῖος ἐποίησε δοχὴν μεγάλην πᾶσι τοῖς ὑπ᾿ αὐτὸν καὶ πᾶσι τοῖς οἰκογενέσιν αὐτοῦ καὶ πᾶσι τοῖς μεγιστᾶσι τῆς Μηδίας καὶ τῆς Περσίδος | Now when Darius reigned, he made a great feast unto all his subjects, and unto all his household, and unto all the princes of Media and Persia, |
|

|
2
|
| καὶ πᾶσι τοῖς σατράπαις καὶ στρατηγοῖς καὶ τοπάρχαις τοῖς ὑπ᾿ αὐτόν, ἀπὸ τῆς ᾿Ινδικῆς μέχρις Αἰθιοπίας ἐν ταῖς ἑκατὸν εἰκοσιεπτὰ σατραπείαις. | and to all the governors and captains and lieutenants that were under him, from India unto Ethiopia, in the hundred twenty and seven provinces. |

| καὶ ἐφάγοσαν καὶ ἐπίοσαν καὶ ἐμπλησθέντες ἀνέλυσαν. ὁ δὲ Δαρεῖος ὁ βασιλεὺς ἀνέλυσεν εἰς τὸν κοιτῶνα ἑαυτοῦ καὶ ἐκοιμήθη καὶ ἔξυπνος ἐγένετο. | And when they had eaten and drunken, and being satisfied were gone home, then Darius the king went into his bedchamber, and slept, and soon after awaked. |
|
4
|
4
|
| τότε οἱ τρεῖς νεανίσκοι οἱ σωματοφύλακες οἱ φυλάσσοντες τὸ σῶμα τοῦ βασιλέως εἶπαν ἕτερος πρὸς τὸν ἕτερον· | Then three young men, that were of the guard that kept the king's body, spake one to another; |
|
5
|
5
|
| εἴπωμεν ἕκαστος ἡμῶν ἕνα λόγον, ὃς ὑπερισχύσει· καὶ οὗ ἐὰν φανῇ τὸ ρῆμα αὐτοῦ σοφώτερον τοῦ ἑτέρου, δώσει αὐτῷ Δαρεῖος ὁ βασιλεὺς δωρεὰς μεγάλας καὶ ἐπινίκια μεγάλα | Let every one of us speak a sentence: he that shall overcome, and whose sentence shall seem wiser than the others, unto him shall the king Darius give great gifts, and great things in token of victory: |
|
6
|
6
|
| καὶ πορφύραν περιβαλέσθαι καὶ ἐν χρυσώμασι πίνειν καὶ ἐπὶ χρυσῷ καθεύδεν καὶ ἅρμα χρυσοχάλινον καὶ κίδαριν βυσσίνην καὶ μανιάκην περὶ τὸν τράχηλον, | as to be clothed in purple, to drink in gold, and to sleep upon gold, and a chariot with bridles of gold, and an headtire of fine linen, and a chain about his neck: |
|
7
|
7
|
| καὶ δεύτερος καθιεῖται Δαρείου διὰ τὴν σοφίαν αὐτοῦ καὶ συγγενὴς Δαρείου κληθήσεται. | and he shall sit next to Darius because of his wisdom, and shall be called Darius's cousin. |
|
8
|
8
|
| καὶ τότε γράψαντες ἕκαστος τὸν ἑαυτοῦ λόγον ἐσφραγίσαντο καὶ ἔθηκαν ὑπὸ τὸ προσκεφάλαιον Δαρείου τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ εἶπαν· | And then every one wrote his sentence, sealed it, and laid it under the pillow of king Darius; |
|
9
|
9
|
| ὅταν ἐγερθῇ ὁ βασιλεύς, δώσουσιν αὐτῷ τὸ γράμμα, καὶ ὃν ἂν κρίνῃ ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ οἱ τρεῖς μεγιστᾶνες τῆς Περσίδος ὅτι οὗ ὁ λόγος αὐτοῦ σοφώτερος, αὐτῷ δοθήσεται τὸ νῖκος καθὼς γέγραπται. | and said that, when the king is risen, some will give him the writing; and of whose side the king and the three princes of Persia shall judge that his sentence is the wisest, to him shall the victory be given, as was appointed. |
|
10
|
10
|
| ὁ εἷς ἔγραψεν, ὑπερισχύει ὁ οἶνος. | The first wrote, Wine is the strongest. |
|
11
|
11
|
| ὁ ἕτερος ἔγραψεν, ὑπερισχύει ὁ βασιλεύς. | The second wrote, The king is strongest. |
|
12
|
12
|
| ὁ τρίτος ἔγραψεν, ὑπερισχύουσιν αἱ γυναῖκες, ὑπὲρ δὲ πάντα νικᾷ ἡ ἀλήθεια. | The third wrote, Women are strongest: but above all things Truth beareth away the victory. |
|
13
|
13
|
| καὶ ὅτε ἐξηγέρθη ὁ βασιλεύς, λαβόντες τὸ γράμμα ἔδωκαν αὐτῷ, καὶ ἀνέγνω. | Now when the king was risen up, they took their writings, and delivered them unto him, and so he read them: |
|
14
|
14
|
| καὶ ἐξαποστείλας ἐκάλεσε πάντας τοὺς μεγιστᾶνας τῆς Περσίδος καὶ τῆς Μηδείας καὶ τοὺς σατράπας καὶ στρατηγοὺς καὶ τοπάρχας καὶ ὑπάτους καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐν τῷ χρηματιστηρίῳ, καὶ ἀνεγνώσθη τὸ γράμμα ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν. | and sending forth he called all the princes of Persia and Media, and the governors, and the captains, and the lieutenants, and the chief officers; |
|
15
|
15
|
| καὶ εἶπε· καλέσατε τοὺς νεανίσκους, καὶ αὐτοὶ δηλώσουσι τοὺς λόγους ἑαυτῶν· καὶ ἐκλήθησαν καὶ εἰσήλθοσαν. | and sat him down in the royal seat of judgment; and the writing was read before them. |
|
16
|
16
|
| καὶ εἶπαν αὐτοῖς· ἀπαγγείλατε ἡμῖν περὶ τῶν γεγραμμένων. | And he said, Call the young men, and they shall declare their own sentences. So they were called, and came in. |
|
17
|
17
|
| Καὶ ἤρξατο ὁ πρῶτος ὁ εἴπας περὶ τῆς ἰσχύος τοῦ οἴνου καὶ ἔφη οὕτως· ἄνδρες, πῶς ὑπερισχύει ὁ οἶνος; πάντας τοὺς ἀνθρώπους τοὺς πιόντας αὐτὸν πλανᾷ τὴν διάνοιαν· | And he said unto them, Declare unto us your mind concerning the writings. Then began the first, who had spoken of the strength of wine; |
|
18
|
18
|
| τοῦ τε βασιλέως καὶ τοῦ ὀρφανοῦ ποιεῖ τὴν διάνοιαν μίαν, τήν τε τοῦ οἰκέτου καὶ τὴν τοῦ ἐλευθέρου, τήν τε τοῦ πένητος καὶ τὴν τοῦ πλουσίου. | and he said thus, O ye men, how exceeding strong is wine! it causeth all men to err that drink it: |
|
19
|
19
|
| καὶ πᾶσαν διάνοιαν μεταστρέφει εἰς εὐωχίαν καὶ εὐφροσύνην καὶ οὐ μέμνηται πᾶσαν λύπην καὶ πᾶν ὀφείλημα. | it maketh the mind of the king and of the fatherless child to be all one; of the bondman and of the freeman, of the poor man and of the rich: |
|
20
|
20
|
| καὶ πάσας καρδίας ποιεῖ πλουσίας καὶ οὐ μέμνηται βασιλέα οὐδὲ σατράπην καὶ πάντα διὰ ταλάντων ποιεῖ λαλεῖν. | it turneth also every thought into jollity and mirth, so that a man remembereth neither sorrow nor debt: |
|
21
|
21
|
| καὶ οὐ μέμνηται, ὅταν πίνωσι, φιλιάζειν φίλοις καὶ ἀδελφοῖς, καὶ μετ᾿ οὐ πολὺ σπῶνται τὰς μαχαίρας· | and it maketh every heart rich, so that a man remembereth neither king nor governor; and it maketh to speak all things by talents: |
|
22
|
22
|
| καὶ ὅταν ἀπὸ τοῦ οἴνου ἐγερθῶσιν, οὐ μέμνηνται ἃ ἔπραξαν. | and when they are in their cups, they forget their love both to friends and brethren, and a little after draw out swords: |
|
23
|
23
|
| ὦ ἄνδρες, οὐχ ὑπερισχύει ὁ οἶνος, ὅτι οὕτως ἀναγκάζει ποιεῖν; καὶ ἐσίγησεν οὕτως εἴπας. | but when they are from the wine, they remember not what they have done. |

| ΚΑΙ ἤρξατο ὁ δεύτερος λαλεῖν, ὁ εἴπας περὶ τῆς ἰσχύος τοῦ βασιλέως· | Then the second, that had spoken of the strength of the king, began to say, |
|
2
|
2
|
| ὦ ἄνδρες, οὐχ ὑπερισχύουσιν οἱ ἄνθρωποι, τὴν γῆν καὶ τὴν θάλασσαν κατακρατοῦντες καὶ πάντα τὰ ἐν αὐτοῖς; | O ye men, do not men excel in strength, that bear rule over sea and land, and all things in them? |
|

|

|
| ὁ δὲ βασιλεὺς ὑπερισχύει καὶ κυριεύει αὐτῶν καὶ δεσπόζει αὐτῶν, καὶ πᾶν ὃ ἐὰν εἴπῃ αὐτοῖς, ἐνακούουσιν. | But yet the king is more mighty: for he is lord of all these things, and hath dominion over them; and whatsoever he commandeth them they do. |
|
4
|
4
|
| ἐὰν εἴπῃ αὐτοῖς ποιῆσαι πόλεμον ἕτερος πρὸς τὸν ἕτερον, ποιοῦσιν· ἐὰν δὲ ἐξαποστείλῃ αὐτοὺς πρὸς τοὺς πολεμίους, βαδίζουσι καὶ κατεργάζονται τὰ ὄρη καὶ τὰ τείχη καὶ τοὺς πύργους, | If he bid them make war the one against the other, they do it: if he send them out against the enemies, they go, and break down mountains, walls, and towers. |
|
5
|
5
|
| φονεύουσι καὶ φονεύονται, καὶ τὸν λόγον τοῦ βασιλέως οὐ παραβαίνουσιν· ἐὰν δὲ νικήσωσι, τῷ βασιλεῖ κομίζουσι πάντα, καὶ ὅσα ἐὰν προνομεύσωσι καὶ τὰ ἄλλα πάντα. | They slay and are slain, and transgress not the king's commandment: if they get the victory, they bring all to the king, as well the spoil, as all things else. |
|
6
|
6
|
| καὶ ὅσοι οὐ στρατεύονται οὐδὲ πολεμοῦσιν, ἀλλὰ γεωργοῦσι τὴν γῆν, πάλιν ὅταν σπείρωσι, θερίσαντες ἀναφέρουσι τῷ βασιλεῖ· καὶ ἕτερος τὸν ἕτερον ἀναγκάζοντες ἀναφέρουσι τοὺς φόρους τῷ βασιλεῖ. | Likewise for those that are no soldiers, and have not to do with wars, but use husbandry, when they have reaped again that which they had sown, they bring it to the king, and compel one another to pay tribute unto the king. |
|
7
|
7
|
| καὶ αὐτὸς εἷς μόνος ἐστίν· ἐὰν εἴπῃ ἀποκτεῖναι, ἀποκτέννουσιν· ἐὰν εἴπῃ ἀφεῖναι, ἀφιοῦσιν· | And yet he is but one man: if he command to kill, they kill; if he command to spare, they spare; |
|
8
|
8
|
| εἶπε πατάξαι, τύπτουσιν· εἶπεν ἐρημῶσαι, ἐρημοῦσιν· εἶπεν οἰκοδομῆσαι, οἰκοδομοῦσιν· | if he command to smite, they smite; if he command to make desolate, they make desolate; if he command to build, they build; |
|
9
|
9
|
| εἶπεν ἐκκόψαι, ἐκκόπτουσιν· εἶπε φυτεῦσαι, φυτεύουσι. | if he command to cut down, they cut down; if he command to plant, they plant. |
|
10
|
10
|
| καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ αἱ δυνάμεις αὐτοῦ ἐνακούουσι. πρὸς δὲ τούτοις, αὐτὸς ἀνάκειται, ἐσθίει καὶ πίνει καὶ καθεύδει, | So all his people and his armies obey him: furthermore he lieth down, he eateth and drinketh, and taketh his rest: |
|
11
|
11
|
| αὐτοὶ δὲ τηροῦσι κύκλῳ περὶ αὐτὸν καὶ οὐ δύνανται ἕκαστος ἀπελθεῖν καὶ ποιεῖν τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ, οὐδὲ παρακούουσιν αὐτοῦ. | and these keep watch round about him, neither may any one depart, and do his own business, neither disobey they him in any thing. |
|
12
|
12
|
| ὦ ἄνδρες, πῶς οὐχ ὑπερισχύει ὁ βασιλεύς, ὅτι οὕτως ἐπάκουστός ἐστι; καὶ ἐσίγησεν. | O ye men, how should not the king be mightiest, when in such sort he is obeyed? And he held his tongue. |
|
13
|
13
|
| ῾Ο δὲ τρίτος ὁ εἴπας περὶ τῶν γυναικῶν καὶ τῆς ἀληθείας —οὗτός ἐστι Ζοροβάβελ— ἤρξατο λαλεῖν· ἄνδρες, | Then the third, who had spoken of women, and of the truth, (this was Zorobabel) began to speak. |
|
14
|
14
|
| οὐ μέγας ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ πολλοὶ οἱ ἄνθρωποι καὶ ὁ οἶνος ἰσχύει; τίς οὖν ὁ δεσπόζων αὐτῶν ἢ τίς ὁ κυριεύων αὐτῶν; οὐχ αἱ γυναῖκες; | O ye men, it is not the great king, nor the multitude of men, neither is it wine, that excelleth: who is it then that ruleth them, or hath the lordship over them? are they not women? |
|
15
|
15
|
| αἱ γυναῖκες ἐγέννησαν τὸν βασιλέα καὶ πάντα τὸν λαόν, ὃς κυριεύει τῆς θαλάσσης καὶ τῆς γῆς· | Women have borne the king and all the people that bear rule by sea and land. |
|
16
|
16
|
| καὶ ἐξ αὐτῶν ἐγένοντο, καὶ αὗται ἐξέθρεψαν αὐτοὺς τοὺς φυτεύσαντας τοὺς ἀμπελῶνας, ἐξ ὧν ὁ οἶνος γίνεται. | Even of them came they: and they nourished them up that planted the vineyards, from whence the wine cometh. |
|
17
|
17
|
| καὶ αὗται ποιοῦσι τὰς στολὰς τῶν ἀνθρώπων, καὶ αὗται ποιοῦσι δόξαν τοῖς ἀνθρώποις, καὶ οὐ δύνανται οἱ ἄνθρωποι χωρὶς τῶν γυναικῶν εἶναι. | These also make garments for men; these bring glory unto men; and without women cannot men be. |
|
18
|
18
|
| ἐὰν δὲ συναγάγωσι χρυσίον καὶ ἀργύριον καὶ πᾶν πρᾶγμα ὡραῖον καὶ ἴδωσι γυναῖκα μίαν καλὴν τῷ εἴδει καὶ τῷ κάλλει, | Yea, and if men have gathered together gold and silver, or any other goodly thing, do they not love a woman which is comely in favour and beauty? |
|
19
|
19
|
| ταῦτα πάντα ἀφέντες, εἰς αὐτὴν ἐκκέχηναν καὶ χάσκοντες τὸ στόμα θεωροῦσιν αὐτήν, καὶ πάντες αὐτὴν αἱρετίζουσι μᾶλλον ἢ τὸ χρυσίον καὶ τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ πᾶν πρᾶγμα ὡραῖον. | And letting all those things go, do they not gape, and even with open mouth fix their eyes fast on her; and have not all men more desire unto her than unto silver or gold, or any goodly thing whatsoever? |
|
20
|
20
|
| ἄνθρωπος τὸν ἑαυτοῦ πατέρα ἐγκαταλείπει, ὃς ἐξέθρεψεν αὐτόν, καὶ τὴν ἰδίαν χώραν καὶ πρὸς τὴν ἰδίαν γυναῖκα κολλᾶται | A man leaveth his own father that brought him up, and his own country, and cleaveth unto his wife. |
|
21
|
21
|
| καὶ μετὰ τῆς γυναικὸς ἀφίησι τὴν ψυχὴν καὶ οὔτε τὸν πατέρα μέμνηται οὔτε τὴν μητέρα οὔτε τὴν χώραν. | He sticketh not to spend his life with his wife, and remembereth neither father, nor mother, nor country. |
|
22
|
22
|
| καὶ ἐντεῦθεν δεῖ ὑμᾶς γνῶναι ὅτι αἱ γυναῖκες κυριεύουσιν ὑμῶν· οὐχὶ πονεῖτε καὶ μοχθεῖτε, καὶ πάντα ταῖς γυναιξὶ δίδοτε καὶ φέρετε; | By this also ye must know that women have dominion over you: do ye not labour and toil, and give and bring all to the woman? |
|
23
|
23
|
| καὶ λαμβάνει ὁ ἄνθρωπος τὴν ρομφαίαν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐκπορεύεται ἐξοδεύειν καὶ λῃστεύειν καὶ κλέπτειν καὶ εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν πλεῖν καὶ ποταμούς· | Yea, a man taketh his sword, and goeth his way to rob and to steal, to sail upon the sea and upon rivers; |
|
24
|
24
|
| καὶ τὸν λέοντα θεωρεῖ καὶ ἐν σκότει βαδίζει, καὶ ὅταν κλέψῃ καὶ ἁρπάσῃ καὶ λωποδυτήσῃ, τῇ ἐρωμένῃ ἀποφέρει. | and looketh upon a lion, and goeth in the darkness; and when he hath stolen, spoiled, and robbed, he bringeth it to his love. |
|
25
|
25
|
| καὶ πλεῖον ἀγαπᾷ ἄνθρωπος τὴν ἰδίαν γυναῖκα μᾶλλον ἢ τὸν πατέρα καὶ τὴν μητέρα· | Wherefore a man loveth his wife better than father or mother. |
|
26
|
26
|
| καὶ πολλοὶ ἀπενοήθησαν· ταῖς ἰδίαις διανοίαις διὰ τὰς γυναῖκας καὶ δοῦλοι ἐγένοντο δι᾿ αὐτάς, | Yea, many there be that have run out of their wits for women, and become servants for their sakes. |
|
27
|
27
|
| καὶ πολλοὶ ἀπώλοντο καὶ ἐσφάλησαν καὶ ἡμάρτοσαν διὰ τὰς γυναῖκας. | Many also have perished, have erred, and sinned, for women. |
|
28
|
28
|
| καὶ νῦν οὐ πιστεύετέ μοι; οὐχὶ μέγας ὁ βασιλεὺς τῇ ἐξουσίᾳ αὐτοῦ; οὐχὶ πᾶσαι αἱ χῶραι εὐλαβοῦνται ἅψασθαι αὐτοῦ; | And now do ye not believe me? is not the king great in his power? do not all regions fear to touch him? |
|
29
|
29
|
| ἐθεώρουν αὐτὸν καὶ ᾿Απάμην τὴν θυγατέρα Βαρτάκου τοῦ θαυμαστοῦ, τὴν παλλακὴν τοῦ βασιλέως, καθημένην ἐν δεξιᾷ τοῦ βασιλέως | Yet did I see him and Apame the king's concubine, the daughter of the admirable Bartacus, sitting at the right hand of the king, |

| καὶ ἀφαιροῦσαν τὸ διάδημα ἀπὸ τῆς κεφαλῆς τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ἐπιτιθοῦσαν ἑαυτῇ καὶ ἐρράπιζε τὸν βασιλέα τῇ ἀριστερᾷ· | and taking the crown from the king's head, and setting it upon her own head; she also struck the king with her left hand. |
|
31
|
31
|
| καὶ πρὸς τούτοις ὁ βασιλεὺς χάσκων τὸ στόμα ἐθεώρει αὐτήν. καὶ ἐὰν προσγελάσῃ αὐτῷ, γελᾷ· ἐὰν δὲ πικρανθῇ ἐπ᾿ αὐτόν, κολακεύει αὐτήν, ὅπως διαλλαγῇ αὐτῷ. | And yet for all this the king gaped and gazed upon her with open mouth: if she laughed upon him, he laughed also: but if she took any displeasure at him, the king was fain to flatter, that she might be reconciled to him again. |
|
32
|
32
|
| ὦ ἄνδρες, πῶς οὐχὶ ἰσχυραὶ αἱ γυναῖκες, ὅτι οὕτως πράσσουσι; | O ye men, how can it be but women should be strong, seeing they do thus? |
|
33
|
33
|
| καὶ τότε ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ οἱ μεγιστᾶνες ἔβλεπον εἷς τὸν ἕτερον. καὶ ἤρξατο λαλεῖν περὶ τῆς ἀληθείας. | Then the king and the princes looked one upon another: so he began to speak of the truth. |
|
34
|
34
|
| ἄνδρες, οὐχὶ ἰσχυραὶ αἱ γυναῖκες; μεγάλη ἡ γῆ καὶ ὑψηλὸς ὁ οὐρανὸς καὶ ταχὺς τῷ δρόμῳ ὁ ἥλιος, ὅτι στρέφεται ἐν τῷ κύκλῳ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ πάλιν ἀποτρέχει εἰς τὸν ἑαυτοῦ τόπον ἐν μιᾷ ἡμέρᾳ. | O ye men, are not women strong? great is the earth, high is the heaven, swift is the sun in his course, for he compasseth the heavens round about, and fetcheth his course again to his own place in one day. |
|
35
|
35
|
| οὐχὶ μέγας ὃς ταῦτα ποιεῖ; καὶ ἡ ἀλήθεια μεγάλη καὶ ἰσχυροτέρα παρὰ πάντα. | Is he not great that maketh these things? therefore great is the truth, and stronger than all things. |
|
36
|
36
|
| πᾶσα ἡ γῆ τὴν ἀλήθειαν καλεῖ, καὶ ὁ οὐρανὸς αὐτὴν εὐλογεῖ, καὶ πάντα τὰ ἔργα σείεται καὶ τρέμει, καὶ οὐκ ἔστι μετ᾿ αὐτῆς ἄδικον οὐδέν. | All the earth calleth upon the truth, and the heaven blesseth it: all works shake and tremble at it, and with it is no unrighteous thing. |
|
37
|
37
|
| ἄδικος ὁ οἶνος, ἄδικος ὁ βασιλεύς, ἄδικοι αἱ γυναῖκες, ἄδικοι πάντες οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων, καὶ ἄδικα πάντα τὰ ἔργα αὐτῶν τὰ τοιαῦτα· καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν αὐτοῖς ἀλήθεια, καὶ ἐν τῇ ἀδικίᾳ αὐτῶν ἀπολοῦνται. | Wine is wicked, the king is wicked, women are wicked, all the children of men are wicked; and such are all their wicked works, and there is no truth in them; in their unrighteousness also they shall perish. |
|
38
|
38
|
| ἡ δὲ ἀλήθεια μένει καὶ ἰσχύει εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ ζῇ καὶ κρατεῖ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος. | As for the truth, it endureth, and is always strong; it liveth and conquereth for evermore. |
|
39
|
39
|
| καὶ οὐκ ἔστι παρ᾿ αὐτὴν λαμβάνειν πρόσωπα, οὐδὲ διάφορα, ἀλλὰ τὰ δίκαια ποιεῖ ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν ἀδίκων καὶ πονηρῶν· καὶ πάντες εὐδοκοῦσι τοῖς ἔργοις αὐτῆς, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν τῇ κρίσει αὐτῆς οὐδὲν ἄδικον. | With her there is no accepting of persons or rewards: but she doeth the things that are just, and refraineth from all unjust and wicked things; and all men do well like of her works. |
|
40
|
40
|
| καὶ αὐτῇ ἡ ἰσχὺς καὶ τὸ βασίλειον καὶ ἡ ἐξουσία καὶ ἡ μεγαλειότης τῶν πάντων αἰώνων. εὐλογητὸς ὁ Θεὸς τῆς ἀληθείας. | Neither in her judgment is any unrighteousness; and she is the strength, kingdom, power, and majesty of all ages. Blessed be the God of truth. |
|
41
|
41
|
| καὶ ἐσιώπησε τοῦ λαλεῖν· καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς τότε ἐφώνησε, καὶ τότε εἶπον· μεγάλη ἡ ἀλήθεια καὶ ὑπερισχύει. | And with that he held his peace. And all the people then shouted, and said, Great is Truth, and mighty above all things. |
|
42
|
42
|
| Τότε ὁ βασιλεὺς εἶπεν αὐτῷ· αἴτησαι ὃ θέλεις πλείω τῶν γεγραμμένων, καὶ δώσομέν σοι ὃν τρόπον εὑρέθης σοφώτερος, καὶ ἐχόμενός μου καθήσῃ, καὶ συγγενής μου κληθήσῃ. | Then said the king unto him, Ask what thou wilt more than is appointed in the writings, and we will give it thee, because thou art found wisest; and thou shalt sit next me, and shalt be called my cousin. |
|
43
|
43
|
| τότε εἶπε τῷ βασιλεῖ· μνήσθητι τὴν εὐχήν, ἣν ηὔξω, οἰκοδομῆσαι τὴν ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ, ᾗ τὸ βασίλειόν σου παρέλαβες, | Then said he unto the king, Remember thy vow, which thou hast vowed to build Jerusalem, in the day when thou camest to thy kingdom, |
|
44
|
44
|
| καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη τὰ ληφθέντα ἐξ ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ καὶ ἐκπέμψαι, ἃ ἐχώρισε Κῦρος, ὅτε ηὔξατο ἐκκόψαι Βαβυλῶνα, καὶ ηὔξατο ἐξαποστεῖλαι ἐκεῖ. | and to send away all the vessels that were taken away out of Jerusalem, which Cyrus set apart, when he vowed to destroy Babylon, and to send them again thither. |
|
45
|
45
|
| καὶ σὺ ηὔξω οἰκοδομῆσαι τὸν ναόν, ὃν ἐνεπύρισαν οἱ ᾿Ιδουμαῖοι, ὅτε ἠρημώθη ἡ ᾿Ιουδαία ὑπὸ τῶν Χαλδαίων. | Thou also hast vowed to build up the temple, which the Edomites burned when Judea was made desolate by the Chaldees. |
|
46
|
46
|
| καὶ νῦν τοῦτό ἐστιν, ὅ σε ἀξιῶ, κύριε βασιλεῦ, καὶ ὃ αἰτοῦμαί σε, καὶ αὕτη ἐστὶν ἡ μεγαλωσύνη ἡ παρὰ σοῦ· δέομαι οὖν ἵνα ποιήσῃς τὴν εὐχήν, ἣν ηὔξω τῷ βασιλεῖ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ποιῆσαι ἐκ στόματός σου. | And now, O lord the king, this is that which I require, and which I desire of thee, and this is the princely liberality proceeding from thyself: I desire therefore that thou make good the vow, the performance whereof with thine own mouth thou hast vowed to the King of heaven. |
|
47
|
47
|
| τότε ἀναστὰς Δαρεῖος ὁ βασιλεὺς κατεφίλησεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἔγραψεν αὐτῷ τὰς ἐπιστολὰς πρὸς πάντας τοὺς οἰκονόμους καὶ τοπάρχας καὶ στρατηγοὺς καὶ σατράπας, ἵνα προπέμψωσιν αὐτὸν καὶ τοὺς μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ πάντας ἀναβαίνοντας οἰκοδομῆσαι τὴν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ. | Then Darius the king stood up, and kissed him, and wrote letters for him unto all the treasurers and lieutenants and captains and governors, that they should safely convey on their way both him, and all those that go up with him to build Jerusalem. |
|
48
|
48
|
| καὶ πᾶσι τοῖς τοπάρχαις ἐν κοίλῃ Συρίᾳ καὶ Φοινίκῃ καὶ τοῖς ἐν τῷ Λιβάνῳ ἔγραψεν ἐπιστολὰς μεταφέρειν ξύλα κέδρινα ἀπὸ τοῦ Λιβάνου εἰς ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ καὶ ὅπως οἰκοδομήσωσι μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ τὴν πόλιν. | He wrote letters also unto the lieutenants that were in Celosyria and Phenice, and unto them in Libanus, that they should bring cedar wood from Libanus unto Jerusalem, and that they should build the city with him. |
|
49
|
49
|
| καὶ ἔγραψε πᾶσι τοῖς ᾿Ιουδαίοις τοῖς ἀναβαίνουσιν ἀπὸ τῆς βασιλείας εἰς τὴν ᾿Ιουδαίαν ὑπὲρ τῆς ἐλευθερίας, πάντα δυνατὸν καὶ τοπάρχην καὶ σατράπην καὶ οἰκονόμον μὴ ἀπελεύσεσθαι ἐπὶ τὰς θύρας αὐτῶν, | Moreover he wrote for all the Jews that went out of his realm up into Jewry, concerning their freedom, that no officer, no ruler, no lieutenant, nor treasurer, should forcibly enter into their doors; |
|
50
|
50
|
| καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν χώραν, ἣν κρατοῦσιν, ἀφορολόγητον αὐτοῖς ὑπάρχειν, καὶ ἵνα οἱ ᾿Ιδουμαῖοι ἀφίωσι τὰς κώμας, ἃς διακρατοῦσι τῶν ᾿Ιουδαίων, | and that all the country which they hold should be free without tribute; and that the Edomites should give over the villages of the Jews which then they held: |
|
51
|
51
|
| καὶ εἰς τὴν οἰκοδομὴν τοῦ ἱεροῦ δοθῆναι κατ᾿ ἐνιαυτὸν τάλαντα εἴκοσι μέχρι τοῦ οἰκοδομηθῆναι, | yea, that there should be yearly given twenty talents to the building of the temple, until the time that it were built; |
|
52
|
52
|
| καὶ ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον ὁλοκαυτώματα καρποῦσθαι καθ᾿ ἡμέραν, καθὰ ἔχουσιν ἐντολὴν ἑπτακαίδεκα προσφέρειν, ἄλλα τάλαντα, δέκα κατ᾿ ἐνιαυτόν, | and other ten talents yearly, to maintain the burnt offerings upon the altar every day, as they had a commandment to offer seventeen: |
|
53
|
53
|
| καὶ πᾶσι τοῖς προσβαίνουσιν ἀπὸ τῆς Βαβυλωνίας κτίσαι τὴν πόλιν, ὑπάρχειν τὴν ἐλευθερίαν, αὐτοῖς τε καὶ τοῖς ἐκγόνοις αὐτῶν, καὶ πᾶσι τοῖς ἱερεῦσι τοῖς προσβαίνουσιν. | and that all they that went from Babylon to build the city should have free liberty, as well they as their posterity, and all the priests that went away. |
|
54
|
54
|
| ἔγραψε δὲ καὶ τὴν χορηγίαν καὶ τὴν ἱερατικὴν στολήν, ἐν τίνι λατρεύουσιν ἐν αὐτῇ. | He wrote also concerning the charges, and the priests' vestments wherein they minister; |
|
55
|
55
|
| καὶ τοῖς Λευίταις ἔγραψε δοῦναι τὴν χορηγίαν ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας, ἧς ἐπιτελεσθῇ ὁ οἶκος καὶ ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ οἰκοδομηθῆναι, | and likewise for the charges of the Levites, to be given them until the day that the house were finished, and Jerusalem builded up. |
|
56
|
56
|
| καὶ πᾶσι τοῖς φρουροῦσι τὴν πόλιν ἔγραψε δοῦναι αὐτοῖς κλήρους καὶ ὀψώνια. | And he commanded to give to all that kept the city pensions and wages. |
|
57
|
57
|
| καὶ ἐξαπέστειλε πάντα τὰ σκεύη, ἃ ἐχώρισε Κῦρος ἀπὸ Βαβυλῶνος· καὶ πάντα, ὅσα εἶπε Κῦρος ποιῆσαι, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐπέταξε ποιῆσαι καὶ ἐξαποστεῖλαι εἰς ῾Ιερουσαλήμ. | He sent away also all the vessels from Babylon, that Cyrus had set apart; and all that Cyrus had given in commandment, the same charged he also to be done, and sent unto Jerusalem. |
|
58
|
58
|
| Καὶ ὅτε ἐξῆλθεν ὁ νεανίσκος, ἄρας τὸ πρόσωπον εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν ἐναντίον ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ εὐλόγησε τῷ βασιλεῖ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ λέγων· | Now when this young man was gone forth, he lifted up his face to heaven toward Jerusalem, and praised the King of heaven, |
|
59
|
59
|
| παρὰ σοῦ νίκη, καὶ παρὰ σοῦ ἡ σοφία, καὶ σὴ ἡ δόξα καὶ ἐγὼ σὸς οἰκέτης. | and said, From thee cometh victory, from thee cometh wisdom, and thine is the glory, and I am thy servant. |
|
60
|
60
|
| εὐλογητὸς εἶ, ὃς ἔδωκάς μοι σοφίαν, καὶ σοὶ ὁμολογῶ, δέσποτα τῶν πατέρων. | Blessed art thou, who hast given me wisdom: and to thee I give thanks, O Lord of our fathers. |
|
61
|
61
|
| καὶ ἔλαβε τὰς ἐπιστολὰς καὶ ἐξῆλθε καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς Βαβυλῶνα καὶ ἀπήγγειλε τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς αὐτοῦ πᾶσι. | And so he took the letters, and went out, and came unto Babylon, and told it all his brethren. |
|
62
|
62
|
| καὶ εὐλόγησαν τὸν Θεὸν τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν, ὅτι ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς ἄνεσιν καὶ ἄφεσιν | And they praised the God of their fathers, because he had given them freedom and liberty |
|

|

|
54
|
54
|
| καὶ τῷ δευτέρῳ ἔτει παραγενόμενος εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ εἰς ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ μηνὸς δευτέρου ἤρξατο Ζοροβάβελ ὁ τοῦ Σαλαθιὴλ καὶ ᾿Ιησοῦς ὁ τοῦ ᾿Ιωσεδὲκ καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτῶν καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς οἱ Λευῖται καὶ πάντες οἱ παραγενόμενοι ἐκ τῆς αἰχμαλωσίας εἰς ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ | And they gave unto the masons and carpenters money, meat, and drink, with cheerfulness. |

|
| καὶ ἔστησαν τοὺς Λευίτας ἀπὸ εἰκοσαετοῦς ἐπὶ τῶν ἔργων τοῦ Κυρίου, καὶ ἔστη ᾿Ιησοῦς καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ καὶ Καδμιὴλ ὁ ἀδελφὸς καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ ᾿Ημαδαβοῦν καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ ᾿Ιωδὰ τοῦ ῾Ηλιαδοὺδ σὺν τοῖς υἱοῖς καὶ ἀδελφοῖς, πάντες οἱ Λευῖται, ὁμοθυμαδὸν ἐργοδιῶκται ποιοῦντες εἰς τὰ ἔργα ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ Κυρίου. καὶ ᾠκοδόμησαν οἱ οἰκοδόμοι τὸν ναὸν τοῦ Κυρίου, | And in the second year and second month after his coming to the temple of God at Jerusalem began Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, and Jesus the son of Josedec, and their brethren, and the priests, and the Levites, and all they that were come unto Jerusalem out of the captivity: |
|
57
|
57
|
| καὶ ἔστησαν οἱ ἱερεῖς ἐστολισμένοι μετὰ μουσικῶν καὶ σαλπίγγων καὶ οἱ Λευῖται υἱοὶ ᾿Ασὰφ ἔχοντες τὰ κύμβαλα ὑμνοῦντες τῷ Κυρίῳ καὶ εὐλογοῦντες κατὰ Δαυὶδ βασιλέα τοῦ ᾿Ισραὴλ | and they laid the foundation of the house of God in the first day of the second month, in the second year after they were come to Jewry and Jerusalem. |
|
58
|
58
|
| καὶ ἐφώνησαν δι᾿ ὕμνων εὐλογοῦντες τῷ Κυρίῳ, ὅτι ἡ χρηστότης αὐτοῦ καὶ ἡ δόξα εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας ἐν παντὶ ᾿Ισραήλ. | And they appointed the Levites from twenty years old over the works of the Lord. Then stood up Jesus, and his sons and brethren, and Cadmiel his brother, and the sons of Emadabun, with the sons of Joda the son of Eliadud, with their sons and brethren, all Levites, with one accord setters forward of the business, labouring to advance the works in the house of the Lord. So the builders built the temple of the Lord. |
|
59
|
59
|
| καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἐσάλπισαν καὶ ἐβόησαν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ ὑμνοῦντες τῷ Κυρίῳ ἐπὶ τῇ ἐγέρσει τοῦ οἴκου Κυρίου. | And the priests stood arrayed in their vestments with musical instruments and trumpets; and the Levites the sons of Asaph had cymbals, |
|
60
|
60
|
| καὶ ἤλθοσαν ἐκ τῶν ἱερέων τῶν Λευιτῶν καὶ τῶν προκαθημένων κατὰ τὰς πατριὰς αὐτῶν οἱ πρεσβύτεροι οἱ ἑωρακότες τὸν πρὸ τούτου οἶκον πρὸς τὴν τούτου οἰκοδομὴν μετὰ κλαυθμοῦ καὶ κραυγῆς μεγάλης | singing songs of thanksgiving, and praising the Lord, according as David the king of Israel had ordained. |
|
61
|
61
|
| καὶ πολλοὶ διὰ σαλπίγγων καὶ χαρᾶς μεγάλῃ τῇ φωνῇ, | And they sung with loud voices songs to the praise of the Lord, because his mercy and glory is for ever in all Israel. |
|
62
|
62
|
| ὥστε τὸν λαὸν μὴ ἀκούειν τῶν σαλπίγγων διὰ τὸν κλαυθμὸν τοῦ λαοῦ· ὁ γὰρ ὄχλος ἦν ὁ σαλπίζων μεγάλως, ὥστε μακρόθεν ἀκούεσθαι. | And all the people sounded trumpets, and shouted with a loud voice, singing songs of thanksgiving unto the Lord for the rearing up of the house of the Lord. |
|
63
|
63
|
| Καὶ ἀκούσαντες οἱ ἐχθροὶ τῆς φυλῆς ᾿Ιούδα καὶ Βενιαμὶν ἤλθοσαν ἐπιγνῶναι τίς ἡ φωνὴ τῶν σαλπίγγων. | Also of the priests and Levites, and of the chief of their families, the ancients who had seen the former house came to the building of this with weeping and great crying. |
|
64
|
64
|
| καὶ ἐπέγνωσαν ὅτι οἱ ἐκ τῆς αἰχμαλωσίας οἰκοδομοῦσι τὸν ναὸν τῷ Κυρίῳ Θεῷ ᾿Ισραήλ, | But many with trumpets and joy shouted with loud voice, |
|
65
|
65
|
| καὶ προσελθόντες ἐν τῷ Ζοροβάβελ καὶ ᾿Ιησοῦ καὶ τοῖς ἡγουμένοις τῶν πατριῶν λέγουσιν αὐτοῖς· συνοικοδομήσωμεν ὑμῖν· | insomuch that the trumpets might not be heard for the weeping of the people; yet the multitude sounded marvellously, so that it was heard afar off. |
|
66
|
66
|
| ὁμοίως γὰρ ὑμῖν ἀκούομεν τοῦ Κυρίου ὑμῶν καὶ αὐτῷ ἐπιθύομεν ἀφ᾿ ἡμερῶν ᾿Ασβασαρὲθ βασιλέως ᾿Ασσυρίων, ὃς μετήγαγεν ἡμᾶς ἐνταῦθα. | Wherefore when the enemies of the tribe of Juda and Benjamin heard it, they came to know what the noise of trumpets should mean. |
|
67
|
67
|
| καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ζοροβάβελ καὶ ᾿Ιησοῦς καὶ οἱ ἡγούμενοι τῶν πατριῶν τοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ· οὐχ ἡμῖν καὶ ὑμῖν τοῦ οἰκοδομῆσαι τὸν οἶκον Κυρίῳ Θεῷ ἡμῶν· | And they perceived that they that were of the captivity did build the temple unto the Lord God of Israel. |
|
68
|
68
|
| ἡμεῖς γὰρ μόνοι οἰκοδομήσομεν τῷ Κυρίῳ τοῦ ᾿Ισραὴλ ἀκολούθως, οἷς προσέταξεν ἡμῖν Κῦρος ὁ βασιλεὺς Περσῶν. | So they went to Zorobabel and Jesus, and to the chief of the families, and said unto them, We will build together with you. |
|
69
|
69
|
| τὰ δὲ ἔθνη τῆς γῆς ἐπικοιμώμενα τοῖς ἐν τῇ ᾿Ιουδαίᾳ καὶ πολιορκοῦντες εἶργον τοῦ οἰκοδομεῖν. | For we likewise, as ye, do obey your Lord, and do sacrifice unto him from the days of Azbazareth the king of the Assyrians, who brought us hither. |
|
70
|
70
|
| καὶ βουλὰς δημαγωγοῦντες καὶ συστάσεις ποιούμενοι ἀπεκώλυσαν τοῦ ἀποτελεσθῆναι τὴν οἰκοδομὴν πάντα τὸν χρόνον τῆς ζωῆς τοῦ βασιλέως Κύρου. καὶ εἴρχθησαν τῆς οἰκοδομῆς ἔτη δύο ἕως τῆς Δαρείου βασιλείας. | Then Zorobabel and Jesus and the chief of the families of Israel said unto them, It is not for us and you to build together an house unto the Lord our God. |

|
16
|

|
| ἐν δὲ τῷ πρώτῳ ἔτει βασιλεύοντος Κύρου χώρας Βαβυλωνίας ἔγραψεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Κῦρος τὸν οἶκον τοῦτον οἰκοδομῆσαι· | who pulled down the house, and burned it, and carried away the people captives unto Babylon. |
|
17
|
17
|
| καὶ τὰ ἱερὰ σκεύη τὰ χρυσᾶ καὶ τὰ ἀργυρᾶ, ἃ ἐξήνεγκε Ναβουχοδονόσορ ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ καὶ ἀπηρείσατο αὐτὰ ἐν τῷ αὐτοῦ ναῷ, πάλιν ἐξήνεγκεν αὐτὰ Κῦρος ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐκ τοῦ ναοῦ τοῦ ἐν Βαβυλωνίᾳ, καὶ παρεδόθη Σαβανασσάρῳ Ζοροβάβελ τῷ ἐπάρχῳ, | But in the first year that king Cyrus reigned over the country of Babylon, Cyrus the king wrote to build this house. |

|
20
|
20
|
| νῦν οὖν εἰ κρίνεται, βασιλεῦ, ἐπισκεπήτω ἐν τοῖς βασιλικοῖς βιβλιοφυλακίοις τοῦ Κύρου· | Then the same Sanabassarus, being come hither, laid the foundations of the house of the Lord at Jerusalem; and from that time to this being still building, it is not yet finished. |

| ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν Βαγώ, Οὐθὶ ὁ τοῦ ᾿Ισταλκούρου καὶ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἄνδρες ἑβδομήκοντα. | of the sons of Bago, Uthi the son of Istalcurus, and with him seventy men. |
|
41
|
41
|
| Καὶ συνήγαγον αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ τὸν λεγόμενον Θερὰν ποταμόν, καὶ παρενεβάλομεν ἡμέρας τρεῖς αὐτόθι, καὶ κατέμαθον αὐτούς. | And these I gathered together to the river called Theras, where we pitched our tents three days: and then I surveyed them. |
|
42
|
42
|
| καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἱερέων καὶ ἐκ τῶν λευιτῶν οὐχ εὑρὼν ἐκεῖ | But when I had found there none of the priests and Levites, |
|
43
|
43
|
| ἀπέστειλα πρὸς ᾿Ελεάζαρον καὶ ᾿Ιδουῆλον καὶ Μαιὰ καὶ Μασμὰν καὶ ᾿Αλναθὰν καὶ Σαμαίαν κα’Ι ᾿Ιώριβον, Νάθαν, ᾿Εννατάν, Ζαχαρίαν καὶ Μοσόλλαμον τοὺς ἡγουμένους καὶ ἐπιστήμονας | then sent I unto Eleazar, and Iduel, and Mæa, and Masman, |
|
44
|
44
|
| καὶ εἶπα αὐτοῖς ἐλθεῖν πρὸς Λοδδαῖον τὸν ἡγούμενον τὸν ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τοῦ γαζοφυλακίου, | and Alnathan, and Samaias, and Joribas, and Nathan, Ennatan, Zacharias, and Mosollamus, principal men and learned. |
|
45
|
45
|
| ἐντειλάμενος αὐτοῖς διαλεχθῆναι Λοδδαίῳ καὶ τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς αὐτοῦ καὶ τοῖς ἐν τῷ τόπῳ γαζοφύλαξιν ἀποστεῖλαι ἡμῖν τοὺς ἱερατεύσοντας ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν. | And I bade them that they should go unto Loddeus the captain, who was in the place of the treasury: |
|
46
|
46
|
| καὶ ἤγαγον ἡμῖν κατὰ τὴν κραταιὰν χεῖρα τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν ἄνδρας ἐπιστήμονας τῶν υἱῶν Μοολὶ τοῦ Λευὶ τοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ, ᾿Ασεβηβίαν καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ τοὺς ἀδελφούς, ὄντας δέκα καὶ ὀκτώ, | and commanded them that they should speak unto Loddeus, and to his brethren, and to the treasurers in that place, to send us such men as might execute the priests' office in the house of the Lord. |
|
47
|
47
|
| καὶ ᾿Ασεβίαν καὶ ῎Αννουον καὶ ᾿Ωσαίαν ἀδελφὸν ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν Χανουναίου καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτῶν, εἴκοσιν ἄνδρες· | And by the mighty hand of our Lord they brought unto us skilful men of the sons of Mooli the son of Levi, the son of Israel, Asebebia, and his sons, and his brethren, who were eighteen. |
|
48
|
48
|
| καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἱεροδούλων, ὧν ἔδωκε Δαυίδ, καὶ οἱ ἡγούμενοι εἰς τὴν ἐργασίαν τῶν Λευιτῶν, ἱεροδούλους διακοσίους καὶ εἴκοσι· πάντων ἐσημάνθη ἡ ὀνοματογραφία. | And Asebia, and Annuus, and Osaias his brother, of the sons of Chanuneus, and their sons, were twenty men. |
|
49
|
49
|
| καὶ εὐξάμην ἐκεῖ νηστείαν τοῖς νεανίσκοις ἔναντι Κυρίου ἡμῶν | And of the servants of the temple whom David had ordained, and the principal men for the service of the Levites to wit, the servants of the temple, two hundred and twenty, the catalogue of whose names were shewed. |
|
50
|
50
|
| ζητῆσαι παρ᾿ αὐτοῦ εὐοδίαν ἡμῖν τε καὶ τοῖς συνοῦσιν ἡμῖν τέκνοις ἡμῶν καὶ κτήνεσιν· | And there I vowed a fast unto the young men before our Lord, to desire of him a prosperous journey both for us and them that were with us, for our children, and for the cattle: |
|
51
|
51
|
| ἐνετράπην γὰρ αἰτῆσαι τὸν βασιλέα πεζούς τε καὶ ἱππεῖς καὶ προπομπὴν ἕνεκεν ἀσφαλείας τῆς πρὸς τοὺς ἐναντιουμένους ἡμῖν· | for I was ashamed to ask the king footmen, and horsemen, and conduct for safeguard against our adversaries. |
|
52
|
52
|
| εἴπαμεν γὰρ τῷ βασιλεῖ, ὅτι ἡ ἰσχὺς τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν ἔσται μετά τῶν ἐπιζητούντων αὐτὸν εἰς πᾶσαν ἐπανόρθωσιν. | For we had said unto the king, that the power of the Lord our God should be with them that seek him, to support them in all ways. |
|
53
|
53
|
| καὶ πάλιν ἐδεήθημεν τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν πάντα ταῦτα καὶ ἐτύχομεν εὐϊλάτου. | And again we besought our Lord as touching these things, and found him favourable unto us. |
|
54
|
54
|
| καὶ ἐχώρισα τῶν φυλάρχων τῶν ἱερέων ἄνδρας δεκαδύο, καὶ ᾿Εσερεβίαν καὶ Σαμίαν καὶ μετ᾿ αὐτῶν ἐκ τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτῶν ἄνδρας δώδεκα, | Then I separated twelve of the chief of the priests, Esebrias, and Samias, and ten men of their brethren with them: |
|
55
|
55
|
| καὶ ἔστησα αὐτοῖς τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ τὸ χρυσίον καὶ τὰ ἱερὰ σκεύη τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν, ἃ ἐδωρήσατο ὁ βασιλεύς, καὶ οἱ σύμβουλοι αὐτοῦ καὶ οἱ μεγιστᾶνες καὶ πᾶς ᾿Ισραήλ. | and I weighed them the gold, and the silver, and the holy vessels of the house of our Lord, which the king, and his council, and the princes, and all Israel, had given. |
|
56
|
56
|
| καὶ στήσας παρέδωκα αὐτοῖς ἀργυρίου τάλαντα ἑξακόσια πεντήκοντα καὶ σκεύη ἀργυρᾶ ταλάντων ἑκατὸν καὶ χρυσίου τάλαντα ἑκατὸν καὶ χρυσώματα εἴκοσι καὶ σκεύη χάλκεα ἀπὸ χρηστοῦ χαλκοῦ στίλβοντα χρυσοειδῆ σκεύη δώδεκα. | And when I had weighed it, I delivered unto them six hundred and sixty talents of silver, and silver vessels of an hundred talents, and an hundred talents of gold, |
|
57
|
57
|
| καὶ εἶπα αὐτοῖς· καὶ ὑμεῖς ἅγιοί ἐστε τῷ Κυρίῳ καὶ τὰ σκεύη τὰ ἅγια, καὶ τὸ χρυσίον καὶ τὸ ἀργύριον εὐχὴ τῷ Κυρίῳ, Κυρίῳ τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν· | and twenty golden vessels, and twelve vessels of brass, even of fine brass, glittering like gold. |
|
58
|
58
|
| ἀγρυπνεῖτε καὶ φυλάσσετε ἕως τοῦ παραδοῦναι ὑμᾶς αὐτὰ τοῖς φυλάρχοις τῶν ἱερέων καὶ τῶν Λευιτῶν καὶ τοῖς ἡγουμένοις τῶν πατριῶν τοῦ ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ, ἐν τοῖς παστοφορίοις τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν. | And I said unto them, Both ye are holy unto the Lord, and the vessels are holy, and the gold and the silver is a vow unto the Lord, the Lord of our fathers. |
|
59
|
59
|
| καὶ οἱ παραλαβόντες οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευῖται τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ τὸ χρυσίον καὶ τὰ σκεύη τὰ ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ εἰσήνεγκαν εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν τοῦ Κυρίου. | Watch ye, and keep them till ye deliver them to the chief of the priests and Levites, and to the principal men of the families of Israel, in Jerusalem, into the chambers of the house of our God. |
|
60
|
60
|
| Καὶ ἀναζεύξαντες ἀπὸ τοῦ ποταμοῦ Θερὰ τῇ δωδεκάτῃ τοῦ πρώτου μηνὸς ἕως εἰσήλθομεν εἰς ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ κατὰ τὴν κραταιὰν χεῖρα τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν τὴν ἐφ᾿ ἡμῖν· καὶ ἐρρύσατο ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ τῆς εἰσόδου ἀπὸ παντὸς ἐχθροῦ, καὶ ἤλθομεν εἰς ῾Ιερουσαλήμ. | So the priests and the Levites, who had received the silver and the gold and the vessels that were in Jerusalem, brought them into the temple of the Lord. |
|
61
|
61
|
| καὶ γενομένης αὐτόθι ἡμέρας τρίτης, τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τετάρτῃ σταθὲν τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ τὸ χρυσίον παρεδόθη ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Μαρμωθὶ Οὐρίᾳ ἱερεῖ — | And from the river Theras we departed the twelfth day of the first month, and came to Jerusalem by the mighty hand of our Lord, which was with us: and from the beginning of our journey the Lord delivered us from every enemy, and so we came to Jerusalem. |
|
62
|
62
|
| καὶ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ ᾿Ελεάζαρ ὁ τοῦ Φινεές, καὶ ἦσαν μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ ᾿Ιωσαβδὸς ᾿Ιησοῦ καὶ Μωὲθ Σαβάννου, οἱ Λευῖται— πρὸς ἀριθμὸν καὶ ὁλκὴν ἅπαντα, καὶ ἐγράφη πᾶσα ἡ ὁλκὴ αὐτῶν αὐτῇ τῇ ὥρᾳ. | And when we had been there three days, the gold and silver that was weighed was delivered in the house of our Lord on the fourth day unto Marmothi the priest the son of Uria. |
|
63
|
63
|
| οἱ δὲ παραγενόμενοι ἐκ τῆς αἰχμαλωσίας προσήνεγκαν θυσίας τῷ Θεῷ τοῦ ᾿Ισραὴλ Κυρίῳ, ταύρους δώδεκα ὑπὲρ παντὸς ᾿Ισραήλ, κριοὺς ἐνενηκονταέξ, ἄρνας ἑβδομηκονταδύο, τράγους ὑπὲρ σωτηρίου δώδεκα· ἅπαντα θυσίαν τῷ Κυρίῳ. | And with him was Eleazar the son of Phinees, and with them were Josabad the son of Jesu and Moeth the son of Sabban, Levites: all was delivered them by number and weight. |
|
64
|
64
|
| καὶ ἀπέδωκαν τὰ προστάγματα τοῦ βασιλέως τοῖς βασιλικοῖς οἰκονόμοις καὶ τοῖς ἐπάρχοις Κοίλης Συρίας καὶ Φοινίκης, καὶ ἐδόξασαν τὸ ἔθνος καὶ τὸ ἱερὸν τοῦ Κυρίου. | And all the weight of them was written up the same hour. |
|
65
|
65
|
| Καὶ τούτων τελεσθέντων προσήλθοσάν μοι οἱ ἡγούμενοι λέγοντες· | Moreover they that were come out of the captivity offered sacrifice unto the Lord God of Israel, even twelve bullocks for all Israel, fourscore and sixteen rams, |
|
66
|
66
|
| οὐκ ἐχώρισαν τὸ ἔθνος τοῦ ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευῖται τὰ ἀλλογενῆ ἔθνη τῆς γῆς καὶ τὰς ἀκαθαρσίας αὐτῶν, Χαναναίων καὶ Χετταίων καὶ Φερεζαίων καὶ ᾿Ιεβουσαίων καὶ Μωαβιτῶν καὶ Αἰγυπτίων καὶ ᾿Ιδουμαίων· | threescore and twelve lambs, goats for a peace-offering, twelve; all of them a sacrifice to the Lord. |
|
67
|
67
|
| συνῴκησαν γὰρ μετὰ τῶν θυγατέρων αὐτῶν καὶ αὐτοὶ καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐπεμίγη τὸ σπέρμα τὸ ἅγιον εἰς τὰ ἀλλογενῆ ἔθνη τῆς γῆς, καὶ μετεῖχον οἱ προηγούμενοι καὶ οἱ μεγιστᾶνες τῆς ἀνομίας ταύτης ἀπὸ τῆς ἀρχῆς τοῦ πράγματος. | And they delivered the king's commandments unto the king's stewards, and to the governors of Celosyria and Phenice; and they honoured the people and the temple of God. |
|
68
|
68
|
| καὶ ἅμα τῷ ἀκοῦσαί με ταῦτα διέρρηξα τὰ ἱμάτια καὶ τὴν ἱερὰν ἐσθῆτα καὶ κατέτιλα τοῦ τριχώματος τῆς κεφαλῆς καὶ τοῦ πώγωνος καὶ ἐκάθισα σύννους καὶ περίλυπος. | Now when these things were done, the rulers came unto me, and said, |
|
69
|
69
|
| καὶ ἐπισυνήχθησαν πρός με ὅσοι ποτὲ ἐπικινοῦντο ἐπὶ τῷ ρήματι Κυρίου Θεοῦ τοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ, ἐμοῦ πενθοῦντος ἐπὶ τῇ ἀνομίᾳ, καὶ ἐκαθήμην περίλυπτος ἕως τῆς δειλινῆς θυσίας. | The nation of Israel, the princes, the priests and the Levites, have not put away from them the strange people of the land, nor their pollutions from the Gentiles, to wit, the Canaanites, Hittites, Pheresites, Jebusites, and the Moabites, Egyptians, and Edomites. |
|
70
|
70
|
| καὶ ἐξεγερθεὶς ἐκ τῆς νηστείας, διερρηγμένα ἔχων τὰ ἱμάτια καὶ τὴν ἱερὰν ἐσθῆτα, κάμψας τὰ γόνατα καὶ ἐκτείνας τὰς χεῖρας πρὸς τὸν Κύριον ἔλεγον· | For both they and their sons have married with their daughters, and the holy seed is mixed with the strange people of the land; and from the beginning of this matter the rulers and the great men have been partakers of this iniquity. |
|
71
|
71
|
| Κύριε, ᾔσχυμμαι καὶ ἐντέτραμμαι κατὰ πρόσωπόν σου· | And as soon as I had heard these things, I rent my clothes, and the holy garment, and pulled off the hair from off my head and beard, and sat me down sad and very heavy. |
|
72
|
72
|
| αἱ γὰρ ἁμαρτίαι ἡμῶν ἐπλεόνασαν ὑπὲρ τὰς κεφαλὰς ἡμῶν, αἱ δὲ ἄγνοιαι ἡμῶν ὑπερήνεγκαν ἕως τοῦ οὐρανοῦ | So all they that were then moved at the word of the Lord God of Israel assembled unto me, whilst I mourned for the iniquity: but I sat still full of heaviness until the evening sacrifice. |
|
73
|
73
|
| ἔτι ἀπὸ τῶν χρόνων τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν, καί ἐσμεν ἐν μεγάλῃ ἁμαρτίᾳ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης. | Then rising up from the fast with my clothes and the holy garment rent, and bowing my knees, and stretching forth my hands unto the Lord, |
|
74
|
74
|
| καὶ διά τὰς ἁμαρτίας ἡμῶν καὶ τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν παρεδόθημεν σὺν τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς ἡμῶν καὶ σὺν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν ἡμῶν καὶ σὺν τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν ἡμῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσι τῆς γῆς εἰς ρομφαίαν καὶ αἰχμαλωσίαν καὶ προνομὴν μετὰ αἰσχύνης μέχρι τῆς σήμερον ἡμέρας. | I said, O Lord, I am confounded and ashamed before thy face; |
|
75
|
75
|
| καὶ νῦν κατὰ πόσον τι ἐγενήθη ἡμῖν ἔλεος παρὰ σοῦ, Κύριε, καταλειφθῆναι ἡμῖν ρίζαν καὶ ὄνομα ἐν τῷ τόπῳ ἁγιάσματός σου | for our sins are multiplied above our heads, and our ignorances have reached up unto heaven. |
|
76
|
76
|
| καὶ τοῦ ἀνακαλύψαι φωστῆρα ἡμῖν ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν δοῦναι ἡμῖν τροφὴν ἐν τῷ καιρῷ τῆς δουλείας ἡμῶν; καὶ ἐν τῷ δουλεύειν ἡμᾶς οὐκ ἐγκατελείφθημεν ὑπὸ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν, | For ever since the time of our fathers we have been and are in great sin, even unto this day. |
|
77
|
77
|
| ἀλλὰ ἐποίησεν ἡμᾶς ἐν χάριτι ἐνώπιον τῶν βασιλέων Περσῶν δοῦναι ἡμῖν τροφὴν | And for our sins and our fathers' we with our brethren and our kings and our priests were given up unto the kings of the earth, to the sword, and to captivity, and for a prey with shame, unto this day. |
|
78
|
78
|
| καὶ δοξάσαι τὸ ἱερὸν τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν καὶ ἐγεῖραι τὴν ἔρημον Σιών, δοῦναι ἡμῖν στερέωμα ἐν τῇ ᾿Ιουδαίᾳ καὶ ῾Ιερουσαλήμ. | And now in some measure hath mercy been shewed unto us from thee, O Lord, that there should be left us a root and a name in the place of thy sanctuary; |
|
79
|
79
|
| καὶ νῦν τί ἐροῦμεν, Κύριε, ἔχοντες ταῦτα; παρέβημεν γὰρ τὰ προστάγματά σου, ἃ ἔδωκας ἐν χειρὶ τῶν παίδων σου τῶν προφητῶν λέγων, | and to discover unto us a light in the house of the Lord our God, and to give us food in the time of our servitude. |
|
80
|
80
|
| ὅτι ἡ γῆ, εἰς ἣν εἰσέρχεσθε κληρονομῆσαι, ἔστι γῆ μεμολυσμένη μολυσμῷ τῶν ἀλλογενῶν τῆς γῆς, καὶ τῆς ἀκαθαρσίας αὐτῶν ἐνέπλησαν αὐτήν. | Yea, when we were in bondage, we were not forsaken of our Lord; but he made us favoured before the kings of Persia, so that they gave us food; |
|
81
|
81
|
| καὶ νῦν τὰς θυγατέρας ὑμῶν μὴ συνοικήσητε τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτῶν καὶ τὰς θυγατέρας αὐτῶν μὴ λάβητε τοῖς υἱοῖς ὑμῶν· | yea, and honoured the temple of our Lord, and raised up the desolate Sion, so that they have given us a sure abiding in Jewry and Jerusalem. |
|
82
|
82
|
| καὶ οὐ ζητήσετε εἰρηνεῦσαι τὰ πρὸς αὐτοὺς τὸν ἅπαντα χρόνον, ἵνα ἰσχύσαντες φάγητε τὰ ἀγαθὰ τῆς γῆς, καὶ κατακληρονομήσητε τοῖς τέκνοις ὑμῶν ἕως αἰῶνος. | And now, O Lord, what shall we say, having these things? for we have transgressed thy commandments, which thou gavest by the hand of thy servants the prophets, saying, |
|
83
|
83
|
| καὶ τὰ συμβαίνοντα πάντα ἡμῖν γίνεται διὰ τὰ ἔργα ἡμῶν τὰ πονηρὰ καὶ τὰς μεγάλας ἁμαρτίας ἡμῶν. σὺ γάρ, Κύριε, ἐκούφισας τὰς ἁμαρτίας ἡμῶν καὶ | That the land, which ye enter into to possess as an heritage, is a land polluted with the pollutions of the strangers of the land, and they have filled it with their uncleanness. |
|
84
|
84
|
| ἔδωκας ἡμῖν τοιαύτην ρίζαν· πάλιν ἀνεκάμψαμεν παραβῆναι τὸν νόμον σου εἰς τὸ ἐπιμιγῆναι τῇ ἀκαθαρσίᾳ τῶν ἐθνῶν τῆς γῆς. | Therefore now shall ye not join your daughters unto their sons, neither shall ye take their daughters unto your sons. |
|
85
|
85
|
| οὐχὶ ὠργίσθης ἡμῖν ἀπολέσαι ἡμᾶς ἕως τοῦ μὴ καταλιπεῖν ρίζαν καὶ σπέρμα καὶ ὄνομα ἡμῶν; | Moreover ye shall never seek to have peace with them, that ye may be strong, and eat the good things of the land, and that ye may leave the inheritance of the land unto your children for evermore. |
|
86
|
86
|
| Κύριε τοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ, ἀληθινὸς εἶ· κατελείφθημεν γὰρ ρίζα ἐν τῇ σήμερον. | And all that is befallen is done unto us for our wicked works and great sins: for thou, O Lord, didst make our sins light, |
|
87
|
87
|
| ἰδοὺ νῦν ἐσμεν ἐνώπιόν σου ἐν ταῖς ἀνομίαις ἡμῶν· οὐ γάρ ἐστι στῆναι ἔτι ἔμπροσθέν σου ἐπὶ τούτοις. | and didst give unto us such a root: but we have turned back again to transgress thy law, and to mingle ourselves with the uncleanness of the nations of the land. |
|
88
|
88
|
| Καὶ ὅτε προσευχόμενος ῎Εσδρας ἀνθωμολογεῖτο κλαίων χαμαιπετὴς ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ ἱεροῦ, ἐπισυνήχθησαν πρὸς αὐτὸν ἀπὸ ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ ὄχλος πολὺς σφόδρα, ἄνδρες καὶ γυναῖκες καὶ νεανίαι· κλαυθμὸς γὰρ ἦν μέγας ἐν τῷ πλήθει. | Mightest not thou be angry with us to destroy us, till thou hadst left us neither root, seed, nor name? |
|
89
|
89
|
| καὶ φωνήσας ᾿Ιεχονίας ᾿Ιεήλου τῶν υἱῶν ᾿Ισραὴλ εἶπεν· ῎Εσδρα, ἡμεῖς ἡμάρτομεν εἰς τὸν Κύριον καὶ συνῳκίσαμεν γυναῖκας ἀλλογενεῖς ἐκ τῶν ἐθνῶν τῆς γῆς. καὶ νῦν ἐστιν ἐπάνω πᾶς ᾿Ισραήλ· | O Lord of Israel, thou art true: for we are left a root this day. |
|
90
|
90
|
| ἐν τούτῳ γινέσθω ἡμῖν ὁρκωμοσία πρὸς τὸν Κύριον, ἐκβαλεῖν πάσας τὰς γυναῖκας ἡμῶν τὰς ἐκ τῶν ἀλλογενῶν σὺν τοῖς τέκνοις αὐτῶν, ὡς ἐκρίθη σοι, καὶ ὅσοι πειθαρχοῦσι τῷ νόμῳ Κυρίου. | Behold, now are we before thee in our iniquities, for we cannot stand any longer by reason of these things before thee. |
|
91
|
91
|
| ἀναστὰς ἐπιτέλει· πρός σε γὰρ τὸ πρᾶγμα, καὶ ἡμεῖς μετὰ σοῦ ἰσχὺν ποιεῖν. | And as Esdras in his prayer made his confession, weeping, and lying flat upon the ground before the temple, there gathered unto him from Jerusalem a very great multitude of men and women and children: for there was great weeping among the multitude. |
|
92
|
92
|
| καὶ ἀναστὰς ῎Εσδρας ὥρκισε τοὺς φυλάρχους τῶν ἱερέων καὶ Λευιτῶν παντὸς τοῦ ᾿Ισραὴλ ποιῆσαι κατὰ ταῦτα· καὶ ὤμοσαν. | Then Jechonias the son of Jeelus, one of the children of Israel, called out and said, O Esdras, we have sinned against the Lord; we have married strange women of the nations of the land, and now is all Israel aloft. |

| ΚΑΙ ἀναστὰς ῎Εδρας ἀπὸ τῆς αὐλῆς τοῦ ἱεροῦ ἐπορεύθη εἰς τὸ παστοφόριον ᾿Ιωνὰν τοῦ ᾿Ελιασίβου, | Then Esdras rising from the court of the temple went to the chamber of Joanan the son of Eliasib, |
|

|
2
|
| καὶ αὐλισθεὶς ἐκεῖ ἄρτου οὐκ ἐγεύσατο οὐδὲ ὕδωρ ἔπιε, πενθῶν ἐπὶ τῶν ἀνομιῶν τῶν μεγάλων τοῦ πλήθους. | and remained there, and did eat no meat nor drink water, mourning for the great iniquities of the multitude. |
|

|
| καὶ ἐγένετο κήρυγμα ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ ᾿Ιουδαίᾳ καὶ ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ πᾶσι τοῖς ἐκ τῆς αἰχμαλωσίας συναχθῆναι εἰς ῾Ιερουσαλήμ· | And there was a proclamation in all Jewry and Jerusalem to all them that were of the captivity, that they should be gathered together at Jerusalem: |
|
4
|
4
|
| καὶ ὅσοι ἂν μὴ ἀπαντήσωσιν ἐν δυσὶν ἢ τρισὶν ἡμέραις κατὰ τὸ κρίμα τῶν προκαθημένων πρεσβυτέρων, ἀνιερωθήσονται τὰ κτήνη αὐτῶν, καὶ αὐτὸς ἀλλοτριωθήσεται ἀπὸ τοῦ πλήθους τῆς αἰχμαλωσίας. | and that whosoever met not there within two or three days, according as the elders that bare rule appointed, their cattle should be seized to the use of the temple, and himself cast out from them that were of the captivity. |
|
5
|
5
|
| καὶ ἐπισυνήχθησαν πάντες οἱ ἐκ τῆς φυλῆς ᾿Ιούδα καὶ Βενιαμὶν ἐν τρισὶν ἡμέραις εἰς ῾Ιερουσαλήμ (οὗτος ὁ μὴν ἔννατος τῇ εἰκάδι τοῦ μηνός), | And in three days were all they of the tribe of Juda and Benjamin gathered together at Jerusalem the twentieth day of the ninth month. |
|
6
|
6
|
| καὶ συνεκάθισαν πᾶν τὸ πλῆθος ἐν τῷ εὐρυχώρῳ τοῦ ἱεροῦ τρέμοντες διὰ τὸν ἐνεστῶτα χειμῶνα. | And all the multitude sat in the broad court of the temple, trembling because of the present foul weather. |
|
7
|
7
|
| καὶ ἀναστὰς ῎Εσδρας εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ὑμεῖς ἠνομήσατε καὶ συνῳκίσατε γυναιξὶν ἀλλογενέσι τοῦ προσθεῖναι ἁμαρτίας τῷ ᾿Ισραήλ· | So Esdras arose up, and said unto them, Ye have transgressed the law in marrying strange wives, thereby to increase the sins of Israel. |
|
8
|
8
|
| καὶ νῦν δότε ὁμολογίαν δόξαν τῷ Κυρίῳ Θεῷ τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν | And now by confessing give glory unto the Lord God of our fathers, |
|
9
|
9
|
| καὶ ποιήσατε τὸ θέλημα αὐτοῦ καὶ χωρίσθητε ἀπὸ τῶν ἐθνῶν τῆς γῆς καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν γυναικῶν τῶν ἀλλογενῶν. | and do his will, and separate yourselves from the heathen of the land, and from the strange women. |
|
10
|
10
|
| καὶ ἐφώνησεν ἅπαν τὸ πλῆθος καὶ εἶπον μεγάλῃ τῇ φωνῇ· οὕτως ὡς εἴρηκας ποιήσομεν. | Then cried the whole multitude, and said with a loud voice, Like as thou hast spoken, so will we do. |
|
11
|
11
|
| ἀλλὰ τὸ πλῆθος πολὺ καὶ ὥρα χειμερινή, καὶ οὐκ ἰσχύομεν στῆναι αἴθριοι, καὶ τὸ ἔργον οὐκ ἔστιν ἡμῖν ἡμέρας μιᾶς οὐδὲ δύο· ἐπὶ πλεῖον γὰρ ἡμάρτομεν ἐν τούτοις. | But forasmuch as the people are many, and it is foul weather, so that we cannot stand without, and this is not a work of a day or two, seeing our sin in these things is spread far: |
|
12
|
12
|
| στήτωσαν δὲ οἱ προηγούμενοι τοῦ πλήθους, καὶ πάντες οἱ ἐκ τῶν κατοικιῶν ἡμῶν ὅσοι ἔχουσι γυναῖκας ἀλλογενεῖς, παραγενηθήτωσαν λαβόντες χρόνον· | therefore let the rulers of the multitude stay, and let all them of our habitations that have strange wives come at the time appointed, |
|
13
|
13
|
| ἑκάστου δὲ τόπου τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους καὶ τοὺς κριτὰς ἕως τοῦ λῦσαι τὴν ὀργὴν Κυρίου ἀφ᾿ ἡμῶν τοῦ πράγματος τούτου. | and with them the rulers and judges of every place, till we turn away the wrath of the Lord from us for this matter. |
|

| ᾿Ιωνάθας ᾿Αζαήλου καὶ ᾿Εζεκίας Θεωκανοῦ ἐπεδέξαντο κατὰ ταῦτα, καὶ Μοσόλλαμος καὶ Λευὶς καὶ Σαββαταῖος συνεβράβευσαν αὐτοῖς. | Then Jonathan the son of Azael and Ezechias the son of Theocanus accordingly took this matter upon them: and Mosollam and Levis and Sabbatheus helped them. |
