King James Version with Apocrypha
Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1Thus saith the Lord, I brought this people out of bondage, and I gave them my commandments by my servants the prophets; whom they would not hear, but despised my counsels.
1ΚΑΙ οὗτοι οἱ υἱοὶ τῆς χώρας οἱ ἀναβαίνοντες ἀπὸ τῆς αἰχμαλωσίας τῆς ἀποικίας, ἧς ἀπῴκισε Ναβουχοδονόσορ βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος εἰς Βαβυλῶνα, καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ Ἰούδα ἀνὴρ εἰς πόλιν αὐτοῦ,
2The mother that bare them saith unto them, Go your way, ye children; for I am a widow and forsaken.
2οἳ ἦλθον μετὰ Ζοροβάβελ· Ἰησοῦς, Νεεμίας, Σαραΐας, Ρεελίας, Μαρδοχαῖος, Βαλασάν, Μασφάρ, Βαγουαί, Ρεούμ, Βαανά, ἀνδρῶν ἀριθμὸς λαοῦ Ἰσραήλ·
3I brought you up with gladness; but with sorrow and heaviness have I lost you: for ye have sinned before the Lord your God, and done that thing that is evil before him.
3υἱοὶ Φαρὲς δισχίλιοι ἑκατὸν ἑβδομηκονταδύο·
4But what shall I now do unto you? I am a widow and forsaken: go your way, O my children, and ask mercy of the Lord.
4υἱοὶ Σαφατία τριακόσιοι ἑβδομηκονταπέντε·
5As for me, O father, I call upon thee for a witness over the mother of these children, which would not keep my covenant,
5υἱοὶ Ἄρες ἑπτακόσιοι ἑβδομηκονταπέντε·
6That thou bring them to confusion, and their mother to a spoil, that there may be no offspring of them.
6υἱοὶ Φαὰθ Μωὰβ τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰησουὲ Ἰωὰβ δισχίλιοι ὀκτακόσιοι δεκαδύο·
7Let them be scattered abroad among the heathen, let their names be put out of the earth: for they have despised my covenant.
7υἱοὶ Αἰλὰμ χίλιοι διακόσιοι πεντηκοντατέσσαρες·
8Woe be unto thee, Assur, thou that hidest the unrighteous in thee! O thou wicked people, remember what I did unto Sodom and Gomorrha;
8υἱοὶ Ζατθουὰ ἐνακόσιοι τεσσαρακονταπέντε·
9Whose land lieth in clods of pitch and heaps of ashes: even so also will I do unto them that hear me not, saith the Almighty Lord.
9υἱοὶ Ζακχοὺ ἑπτακόσιοι ἑξήκοντα·
10Thus saith the Lord unto Esdras, Tell my people that I will give them the kingdom of Jerusalem, which I would have given unto Israel.
10υἱοὶ Βανουὶ ἑξακόσιοι τεσσαρακονταδύο·
11Their glory also will I take unto me, and give these the everlasting tabernacles, which I had prepared for them.
11υἱοὶ Βαβαΐ ἑξακόσιοι εἰκοσιτρεῖς·
12They shall have the tree of life for an ointment of sweet savour; they shall neither labour, nor be weary.
12υἱοὶ Ἀσγὰδ χίλιοι διακόσιοι εἰκοσιδύο·
13Go, and ye shall receive: pray for few days unto you, that they may be shortened: the kingdom is already prepared for you: watch.
13υἱοὶ Ἀδωνικὰμ ἑξακόσιοι ἑξηκονταέξ·
14Take heaven and earth to witness; for I have broken the evil in pieces, and created the good: for I live, saith the Lord.
14υἱοὶ Βαγουὲ δισχίλιοι πεντηκονταέξ·
15Mother, embrace thy children, and bring them up with gladness, make their feet as fast as a pillar: for I have chosen thee, saith the Lord.
15υἱοὶ Ἀδδὶν τετρακόσιοι πεντηκοντατέσσαρες·
16And those that be dead will I raise up again from their places, and bring them out of the graves: for I have known my name in Israel.
16υἱοὶ Ἀτὴρ τῷ Ἐζεκίᾳ ἐνενηκονταοκτώ·
17Fear not, thou mother of the children: for I have chosen thee, saith the Lord.
17υἱοὶ Βασσοῦ τριακόσιοι εἰκοσιτρεῖς·
18For thy help will I send my servants Esay and Jeremy, after whose counsel I have sanctified and prepared for thee twelve trees laden with divers fruits,
18υἱοὶ Ἰωρὰ ἑκατὸν δεκαδύο·
19And as many fountains flowing with milk and honey, and seven mighty mountains, whereupon there grow roses and lilies, whereby I will fill thy children with joy.
19υἱοὶ Ἀσοὺμ διακόσιοι εἰκοσιτρεῖς·
20Do right to the widow, judge for the fatherless, give to the poor, defend the orphan, clothe the naked,
20υἱοὶ Γαβὲρ ἐνενηκονταπέντε·
21Heal the broken and the weak, laugh not a lame man to scorn, defend the maimed, and let the blind man come into the sight of my clearness.
21υἱοὶ Βεθλαὲμ ἑκατὸν εἰκοσιτρεῖς·
22Keep the old and young within thy walls.
22υἱοὶ Νετωφὰ πεντηκονταέξ·
23Wheresoever thou findest the dead, take them and bury them, and I will give thee the first place in my resurrection.
23υἱοὶ Ἀναθὼθ ἑκατὸν εἰκοσιοκτώ·
24Abide still, O my people, and take thy rest, for thy quietness still come.
24υἱοὶ Ἀζμὼθ τεσσαρακοντατρεῖς·
25Nourish thy children, O thou good nurse; stablish their feet.
25υἱοὶ Καριαθιαρὶμ Χαφιρὰ καὶ Βηρὼθ ἑπτακόσιοι τεσσαρακοντατρεῖς·
26As for the servants whom I have given thee, there shall not one of them perish; for I will require them from among thy number.
26υἱοὶ τῆς Ραμὰ καὶ Γαβαὰ ἑξακόσιοι εἰκοσιεῖς·
27Be not weary: for when the day of trouble and heaviness cometh, others shall weep and be sorrowful, but thou shalt be merry and have abundance.
27ἄνδρες Μαχμὰς ἑκατὸν εἰκοσιδύο·
28The heathen shall envy thee, but they shall be able to do nothing against thee, saith the Lord.
28ἄνδρες Βαιθὴλ καὶ Ἀϊὰ τετρακόσιοι εἰκοσιτρεῖς·
29My hands shall cover thee, so that thy children shall not see hell.
29υἱοὶ Ναβοὺ πεντηκονταδύο·
30Be joyful, O thou mother, with thy children; for I will deliver thee, saith the Lord.
30υἱοὶ Μαγεβὶς ἑκατὸν πεντηκονταέξ·
31Remember thy children that sleep, for I shall bring them out of the sides of the earth, and shew mercy unto them: for I am merciful, saith the Lord Almighty.
31υἱοὶ Ἠλαμὰρ χίλιοι διακόσιοι πεντηκοντατέσσαρες·
32Embrace thy children until I come and shew mercy unto them: for my wells run over, and my grace shall not fail.
32υἱοὶ Ἠλὰμ τριακόσιοι εἴκοσιν·
33I Esdras received a charge of the Lord upon the mount Oreb, that I should go unto Israel; but when I came unto them, they set me at nought, and despised the commandment of the Lord.
33υἱοὶ Λοδαδὶ καὶ Ὠνὼ ἑπτακόσιοι εἰκοσιπέντε·
34And therefore I say unto you, O ye heathen, that hear and understand, look for your Shepherd, he shall give you everlasting rest; for he is nigh at hand, that shall come in the end of the world.
34υἱοὶ Ἱεριχὼ τριακόσιοι τεσσαρακονταπέντε·
35Be ready to the reward of the kingdom, for the everlasting light shall shine upon you for evermore.
35υἱοὶ Σεναὰ τρισχίλιοι ἑξακόσιοι τριάκοντα·
36Flee the shadow of this world, receive the joyfulness of your glory: I testify my Saviour openly.
36καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς υἱοὶ Ἰεδουὰ τῷ οἴκῳ Ἰησοῖ ἐνακόσιοι ἑβδομηκοντατρεῖς·
37O receive the gift that is given you, and be glad, giving thanks unto him that hath led you to the heavenly kingdom.
37υἱοὶ Ἐμμὴρ χίλιοι πεντηκονταδύο·
38Arise up and stand, behold the number of those that be sealed in the feast of the Lord;
38υἱοὶ Φασσοὺρ χίλιοι διακόσιοι τεσσαρακονταεπτά·
39Which are departed from the shadow of the world, and have received glorious garments of the Lord.
39υἱοὶ Ἠρὲμ χίλιοι ἑπτά·
40Take thy number, O Sion, and shut up those of thine that are clothed in white, which have fulfilled the law of the Lord.
40καὶ οἱ Λευῖται υἱοὶ Ἰησοῦ καὶ Καδμιὴλ τοῖς υἱοῖς Ὠδουΐα ἑβδομηκοντατέσσαρες·
41The number of thy children, whom thou longedst for, is fulfilled: beseech the power of the Lord, that thy people, which have been called from the beginning, may be hallowed.
41οἱ ᾄδοντες υἱοὶ Ἀνασὰφ ἑκατὸν εἰκοσιοκτώ·
42I Esdras saw upon the mount Sion a great people, whom I could not number, and they all praised the Lord with songs.
42υἱοὶ τῶν πυλωρῶν υἱοὶ Σελλούμ, υἱοὶ Ἀτήρ, υἱοὶ Τελμών, υἱοὶ Ἀκούβ, υἱοὶ Ἀτιτά, υἱοὶ Σωβαΐ, οἱ πάντες ἑκατὸν τριακονταεννέα·
43And in the midst of them there was a young man of a high stature, taller than all the rest, and upon every one of their heads he set crowns, and was more exalted; which I marvelled at greatly.
43οἱ Ναθινίμ, υἱοὶ Σουθία, υἱοὶ Ἀσουφά, υἱοὶ Ταβαώθ,
44So I asked the angel, and said, Sir, what are these?
44υἱοὶ Κάδης, υἱοὶ Σιαά, υἱοὶ Φαδών,
45He answered and said unto me, These be they that have put off the mortal clothing, and put on the immortal, and have confessed the name of God: now are they crowned, and receive palms.
45υἱοὶ Λαβανώ, υἱοὶ Ἀγαβά, υἱοὶ Ἀκούβ,
46Then said I unto the angel, What young person is it that crowneth them, and giveth them palms in their hands?
46υἱοὶ Ἀγάβ, υἱοὶ Σελαμί, υἱοὶ Ἀνάν,
47So he answered and said unto me, It is the Son of God, whom they have confessed in the world. Then began I greatly to commend them that stood so stiffly for the name of the Lord.
47υἱοὶ Γεδδήλ, υἱοὶ Γαάρ, υἱοὶ Ραϊά,
48Then the angel said unto me, Go thy way, and tell my people what manner of things, and how great wonders of the Lord thy God, thou hast seen.
