King James Version with Apocrypha
Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1Now these are the nations which the LORD left, to prove Israel by them, even as many of Israel as had not known all the wars of Canaan;
1ΚΑΙ ταῦτα τὰ ἔθνη, ἃ ἀφῆκε Κύριος αὐτὰ ὥστε πειράσαι ἐν αὐτοῖς τὸν Ἰσραήλ, πάντας τοὺς μή ἐγνωκότας τοὺς πολέμους Χαναάν.
2Only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing thereof;
2πλὴν διὰ τὰς γενεὰς υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ τοῦ διδάξαι αὐτοὺς πόλεμον, πλὴν οἱ ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν οὐκ ἔγνωσαν αὐτά·
3Namely , five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baal-hermon unto the entering in of Hamath.
3τὰς πέντε σατραπείας τῶν ἀλλοφύλων καὶ πάντα τὸν Χαναναῖον καὶ τὸν Σιδώνιον καὶ τὸν Εὐαῖον τὸν κατοικοῦντα τὸν Λίβανον ἀπὸ τοῦ ὄρους τοῦ Ἀερμὼν ἕως Λαβωεμάθ.
4And they were to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of the LORD , which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.
4καὶ ἐγένετο ὥστε πειράσαι ἐν αὐτοῖς τὸν Ἰσραήλ, γνῶναι εἰ ἀκούσονται τὰς ἐντολὰς Κυρίου, ἃς ἐνετείλατο τοῖς πατράσιν αὐτῶν ἐν χειρὶ Μωυσῆ.
5¶ And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites:
5καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ κατῴκησαν ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ Χαναναίου καὶ τοῦ Χετταίου καὶ τοῦ Ἀμορραίου καὶ τοῦ Φερεζαίου καὶ τοῦ Εὐαίου καὶ τοῦ Ἰεβουσαίου
6And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods.
6καὶ ἔλαβον τὰς θυγατέρας αὐτῶν ἑαυτοῖς εἰς γυναῖκας καὶ τὰς θυγατέρας αὐτῶν ἔδωκαν τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτῶν καὶ ἐλάτρευσαν τοῖς θεοῖς αὐτῶν.
7And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD , and forgat the LORD their God, and served Baalim and the groves.
7Καὶ ἐποίησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ τὸ πονηρὸν ἐναντίον Κυρίου καὶ ἐπελάθοντο Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ αὐτῶν καὶ ἐλάτρευσαν τοῖς Βααλὶμ καὶ τοῖς ἄλσεσι.
8¶ Therefore the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Chushan-rishathaim eight years.
8καὶ ὠργίσθη θυμῷ Κύριος ἐν τῷ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἀπέδοτο αὐτοὺς ἐν χειρὶ Χουσαρσαθαὶμ βασιλέως Συρίας ποταμῶν. καὶ ἐδούλευσαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ τῷ Χουσαρσαθαὶμ ἔτη ὀκτώ.
9And when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD , the LORD raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother.
9καὶ ἐκέκραξαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς Κύριον· καί ἤγειρε Κύριος σωτῆρα τῷ Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἔσωσεν αὐτούς, τὸν Γοθονιὴλ υἱὸν Κενέζ ἀδελφοῦ Χάλεβ τὸν νεώτερον ὑπὲρ αὐτόν,
10And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war: and the LORD delivered Chushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushan-rishathaim.
10καὶ ἐγένετο ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν πνεῦμα Κυρίου, καὶ ἔκρινε τὸν Ἰσραήλ. καὶ ἐξῆλθεν εἰς πόλεμον πρὸς Χουσαρσαθαίμ· καὶ παρέδωκε Κύριος ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ τὸν Χουσαρσαθαὶμ βασιλέα Συρίας ποταμῶν, καὶ ἐκραταιώθη χεὶρ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸν Χουσαρσαθαίμ.
11And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
11καὶ ἡσύχασεν ἡ γῆ ἔτη τεσσαράκοντα· καὶ ἀπέθανε Γοθονιὴλ υἱὸς Κενέζ.
12¶ And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD : and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD .
12Καὶ προσέθεντο οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ ποιῆσαι τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου. καὶ ἐνίσχυσε Κύριος τὸν Ἐγλὼμ βασιλέα Μωὰβ ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰσραὴλ διὰ τὸ πεποιηκέναι αὐτούς τὸ πονηρὸν ἔναντι Κυρίου.
13And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees.
13καὶ συνήγαγε πρὸς ἑαυτὸν πάντας τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἀμμὼν καὶ Ἀμαλὴκ καὶ ἐπορεύθη καὶ ἐπάταξε τὸν Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἐκληρονόμησε τὴν πόλιν τῶν φοινίκων.
14So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
14καὶ ἐδούλευσαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ τῷ Ἐγλὼμ βασιλεῖ Μωὰβ ἔτη δεκαοκτώ.
15But when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD , the LORD raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man lefthanded: and by him the children of Israel sent a present unto Eglon the king of Moab.
15καὶ ἐκέκραξαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς Κύριον· καὶ ἤγειρεν αὐτοῖς σωτῆρα τὸν Ἀὼδ υἱὸν Γηρὰ υἱὸν τοῦ Ἰεμενί, ἄνδρα ἀμφοτεροδέξιον. καὶ ἐξαπέστειλαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ δῶρα ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ τῷ Ἐγλὼμ βασιλεῖ Μωάβ.
16But Ehud made him a dagger which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he did gird it under his raiment upon his right thigh.
16καὶ ἐποίησεν ἑαυτῷ Ἀὼδ μάχαιραν δίστομον, σπιθαμῆς τὸ μῆκος αὐτῆς, καὶ περιεζώσατο αὐτὴν ὑπὸ τὸν μανδύαν ἐπὶ τὸν μηρὸν αὐτοῦ τὸν δεξιόν.
17And he brought the present unto Eglon king of Moab: and Eglon was a very fat man.
17καὶ ἐπορεύθη καὶ προσήνεγκε τὰ δῶρα τῷ Ἐγλὼμ βασιλεῖ Μωάβ· καὶ Ἐγλὼμ ἀνὴρ ἀστεῖος σφόδρα.
18And when he had made an end to offer the present, he sent away the people that bare the present.
18καὶ ἐγένετο ἡνίκα συνετέλεσεν Ἀὼδ προσφέρων τὰ δῶρα, καὶ ἐξαπέστειλε τοὺς φέροντας τὰ δῶρα·
19But he himself turned again from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand unto thee, O king: who said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him.
19καὶ αὐτὸς ὑπέστρεψεν ἀπὸ τῶν γλυπτῶν τῶν μετὰ τῆς Γαλγάλ. καὶ εἶπεν Ἀώδ· λόγος μοι κρύφιος πρός σε, βασιλεῦ. καὶ εἶπεν Ἐγλὼμ πρὸς αὐτόν· σιώπα· καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν ἀφ᾿ ἑαυτοῦ πάντας τοὺς ἐφεστῶτας ἐπ᾿ αὐτόν.
20And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting in a summer parlour, which he had for himself alone. And Ehud said, I have a message from God unto thee. And he arose out of his seat.
20καὶ Ἀὼδ εἰσῆλθε πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐκάθητο ἐν τῷ ὑπερῴῳ τῷ θερινῷ τῷ ἑαυτοῦ μονώτατος. καὶ εἶπεν Ἀώδ· λόγος Θεοῦ μοι πρός σε, βασιλεῦ· καὶ ἐξανέστη ἀπὸ τοῦ θρόνου Ἐγλὼμ ἐγγὺς αὐτοῦ.
21And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly:
21καὶ ἐγένετο ἅμα τῷ ἀναστῆναι αὐτὸν καὶ ἐξέτεινεν Ἀὼδ τὴν χεῖρα τὴν ἀριστερὰν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔλαβε τὴν μάχαιραν ἐπάνωθεν τοῦ μηροῦ αὐτοῦ τοῦ δεξιοῦ καὶ ἐνέπηξεν αὐτὴν ἐν τῇ κοιλίᾳ αὐτοῦ
22And the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly; and the dirt came out.
22καὶ ἐπεισήνεγκε καί γε τὴν λαβὴν ὀπίσω τῆς φλογός, καὶ ἐπέκλεισε τὸ στέαρ κατὰ τῆς φλογός, ὅτι οὐκ ἐξέσπασε τὴν μάχαιραν ἐκ τῆς κοιλίας αὐτοῦ.
23Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the parlour upon him, and locked them.
23καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ἀὼδ τὴν προστάδα καὶ ἐξῆλθε τοὺς διατεταγμένους καὶ ἀπέκλεισε τὰς θύρας τοῦ ὑπερῴου κατ᾿ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐσφήνωσε·
24When he was gone out, his servants came; and when they saw that, behold, the doors of the parlour were locked, they said, Surely he covereth his feet in his summer chamber.
24καὶ αὐτὸς ἐξῆλθε. καὶ οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ εἰσῆλθον καὶ εἶδον καὶ ἰδοὺ αἱ θύραι τοῦ ὑπερῴου ἐσφηνωμέναι, καὶ εἶπαν· μή ποτε ἀποκενοῖ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ ταμείῳ τῷ θερινῷ;
25And they tarried till they were ashamed: and, behold, he opened not the doors of the parlour; therefore they took a key, and opened them: and, behold, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth.
25καὶ ὑπέμειναν ἕως ᾐσχύνοντο, καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ ἀνοίγων τὰς θύρας τοῦ ὑπερῴου· καὶ ἔλαβον τὴν κλεῖδα καὶ ἤνοιξαν, καὶ ἰδοὺ ὁ κύριος αὐτῶν πεπτωκὼς ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν τεθνηκώς.
26And Ehud escaped while they tarried, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto Seirath.
26καὶ Ἀὼδ διεσώθη ἕως ἐθορυβοῦντο, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ προσνοῶν αὐτῷ· καὶ αὐτὸς παρῆλθε τὰ γλυπτὰ καὶ διεσώθη εἰς Σετειρωθά.
27And it came to pass, when he was come, that he blew a trumpet in the mountain of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the mount, and he before them.
27καὶ ἐγένετο ἡνίκα ἦλθεν Ἀὼδ εἰς γῆν Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἐσάλπισεν ἐν κερατίνῃ ἐν τῷ ὄρει Ἐφραίμ· καὶ κατέβησαν σὺν αὐτῷ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἀπὸ τοῦ ὄρους, καὶ αὐτὸς ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν.
28And he said unto them, Follow after me: for the LORD hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of Jordan toward Moab, and suffered not a man to pass over.
28καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς· κατάβητε ὀπίσω μου, ὅτι παρέδωκε Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς τοὺς ἐχθροὺς ἡμῶν τὴν Μωὰβ ἐν χειρὶ ἡμῶν. καὶ κατέβησαν ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ καὶ προκατελάβοντο τὰς διαβάσεις τοῦ Ἰορδάνου τῆς Μωάβ, καὶ οὐκ ἀφῆκεν ἄνδρα διαβῆναι.
29And they slew of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, all lusty, and all men of valour; and there escaped not a man.
29καὶ ἐπάταξαν τὴν Μωὰβ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ὡσεὶ δέκα χιλιάδας ἀνδρῶν, πᾶν λιπαρὸν καὶ πάντα ἄνδρα δυνάμεως, καὶ οὐ διεσώθη ὁ ἀνήρ.
30So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest fourscore years.
30καὶ ἐνετράπη Μωὰβ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ὑπὸ χεῖρα Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἡσύχασεν ἡ γῆ ὀγδοήκοντα ἔτη, καὶ ἔκρινεν αὐτοὺς Ἀὼδ ἕως οὗ ἀπέθανε.
31¶ And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, which slew of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox goad: and he also delivered Israel.
31Καὶ μετ᾿ αὐτὸν ἀνέστη Σαμεγὰρ υἱὸς Δινὰχ καὶ ἐπάταξε τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους εἰς ἑξακοσίους ἄνδρας ἐν τῷ ἀροτρόποδι τῶν βοῶν· καὶ ἔσωσε καί γε αὐτὸς τὸν Ἰσραήλ.
