Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Κράταιος ἐν πολέμοις Ἰησοῦς Ναυῆ, καὶ διάδοχος Μωυσῆ ἐν προφητείαις· ὃς ἐγένετο κατὰ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ μέγας ἐπὶ σωτηρίᾳ ἐκλεκτῶν αὐτοῦ, ἐκδικῆσαι ἐπεγειρομένους ἐχθροὺς, ὅπως κληρονομήσῃ τὸν Ἰσραήλ.
1Jesus the son a Nave was valiant in the wars, and was the successor of Moses in prophecies, who according to his name was made great for the saving of the elect of God, and taking vengeance of the enemies that rose up against them, that he might set Israel in their inheritance.
2Ὡς ἐδοξάσθη ἐν τῷ ἐπᾶραι χεῖρας αὐτοῦ, καὶ τῷ ἐκκλῖναι ῥομφαίαν ἐπὶ πόλεις;
2How great glory gat he, when he did lift up his hands, and stretched out his sword against the cities!
3Τίς πρότερον αὐτοῦ οὕτως ἔστη; τοὺς γὰρ πολεμίους Κύριος αὐτὸς ἐπήγαγεν.
3Who before him so stood to it? for the Lord himself brought his enemies unto him.
4Οὐχὶ ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ ἀνεπόδισεν ὁ ἥλιος, καὶ μία ἡμέρα ἐγενήθη πρὸς δύο;
4Did not the sun go back by his means? and was not one day as long as two?
5Ἐπεκαλέσατο τὸν ὕψιστον δυνάστην, ἐν τῷ θλίψαι αὐτὸν ἐχθροὺς κυκλόθεν· καὶ ἐπήκουσεν αὐτῶν μέγος Κύριος.
5He called upon the most high Lord, when the enemies pressed upon him on every side; and the great Lord heard him.
6Ἐν λίθοις χαλάζης δυνάμεως κραταιᾶς· κατέῤῥαξεν ἐπʼ ἔθνος πόλεμον, καὶ ἐν καταβάσει ἀπώλεσεν ἀνθεστηκότας· ἵνα γνῶσιν ἔθνη πανοπλίαν αὐτῶν, ὅτι ἐναντίον Κυρίου ὁ πόλεμος αὐτοῦ, καὶ γὰρ ἐπηκολούθησεν ὀπίσω δυνάστου.
6And with hailstones of mighty power he made the battle to fall violently upon the nations, and in the descent of Beth-horon he destroyed them that resisted, that the nations might know all their strength, because he fought in the sight of the Lord, and he followed the Mighty One.
7Καὶ ἐν ἡμέραις Μωυσέως ἐποίησεν ἔλεος, αὐτὸς καὶ Χαλὲβ υἱὸς Ἰεφοννῆ, ἀντιστῆναι ἔναντι ἐχθροῦ, κωλῦσαι λαὸν ἀπὸ ἁμαρτίας, καὶ κοπάσαι γογγυσμὸν πονηρίας.
7In the time of Moses also he did a work of mercy, he and Caleb the son of Jephunne, in that they withstood the congregation, and withheld the people from sin, and appeased the wicked murmuring.
8Καὶ αὐτοὶ δύο ὄντες διεσώθησαν ἀπὸ ἑξακοσίων χιλιάδων πεζῶν, εἰσαγαγεῖν αὐτοὺς εἰς κληρονομίαν, εἰς γῆν ῥέουσαν γάλα καὶ μέλι.
8And of six hundred thousand people on foot, they two were preserved to bring them in to the heritage, even unto the land that floweth with milk and honey.
9Καὶ ἔδωκεν ὁ Κύριος τῷ Χαλὲβ ἰσχὺν, καὶ ἕως γήρους διέμεινεν αὐτῷ, ἐπιβῆναι αὐτὸν ἐπὶ ὕψος τῆς γῆς, καὶ τὸ σπέρμα αὐτοῦ κατέσχε κληρονομίαν·
9The Lord gave strength also unto Caleb, which remained with him unto his old age: so that he entered upon the high places of the land, and his seed obtained it for an heritage:
10ὅπως ἴδωσι πάντες οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ, ὅτι καλὸν τὸ πορεύεσθαι ὀπίσω Κυρίου.
10That all the children of Israel might see that it is good to follow the Lord.
11Καὶ οἱ κριταὶ ἕκαστος τῷ αὐτοῦ ὀνόματι, ὅσων οὐκ ἐξεπόρνευσεν ἡ καρδία, καὶ ὅσοι οὐκ ἀπεστράφησαν ἀπὸ Κυρίου, εἴη τὸ μνημόσυνον αὐτῶν ἐν εὐλογίαις·
11And concerning the judges, every one by name, whose heart went not a whoring, nor departed from the Lord, let their memory be blessed.
12τὰ ὀστᾶ αὐτῶν ἀναθάλοι ἐκ τοῦ τόπου αὐτῶν, καὶ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῶν ἀντικαταλλασσόμένον ἐφ υἱοῖς δεδοξασμένων αὐτῶν.
12Let their bones flourish out of their place, and let the name of them that were honoured be continued upon their children.
13Ἠγαπημένος ὑπὸ Κυρίου αὐτοῦ Σαμουὴλ προφήτης Κυρίου κατέστησε βασιλείαν, καὶ ἔχρισεν ἄρχοντας ἐπὶ τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ.
13Samuel, the prophet of the Lord, beloved of his Lord, established a kingdom, and anointed princes over his people.
14Ἐν νόμῳ Κυρίου ἔκρινε συναγωγὴν, καὶ ἐπεσκέψατο Κύριος τὸν Ἰακώβ.
14By the law of the Lord he judged the congregation, and the Lord had respect unto Jacob.
15Ἐν πίστει αὐτοῦ ἠκριβάσθη προφήτης, καὶ ἐγνώσθη ἐν πίστει αὐτοῦ πιστὸς ὁράσεως.
15By his faithfulness he was found a true prophet, and by his word he was known to be faithful in vision.
16Καὶ ἐπεκαλέσατο τὸν Κύριον δυνάστην, ἐν τῷ θλίψαι ἐχθροὺς αὐτοῦ κυκλόθεν, ἐν προσφορᾷ ἀρνὸς γαλαθηνοῦ.
16He called upon the mighty Lord, when his enemies pressed upon him on every side, when he offered the sucking lamb.
17Καὶ ἐβρόντησεν ἀπʼ οὐρανοῦ Κύριος, καὶ ἐν ἤχῳ μεγάλῳ ἀκουστὴν ἐποίησε τὴν φωνὴν αὐτοῦ.
17And the Lord thundered from heaven, and with a great noise made his voice to be heard.
18Καὶ ἐξέτριψεν ἡγουμένους Τυρίων, καὶ πάντας ἄρχοντας Φυλιστιείμ.
18And he destroyed the rulers of the Tyrians, and all the princes of the Philistines.
19Καὶ πρὸ καιροῦ κοιμήσεως αἰῶνος ἐπεμαρτύρατο ἔναντι Κυρίου καὶ χριστοῦ, χρήματα καὶ ἕως ὑποδημάτων ἀπὸ πάσης σαρκὸς οὐκ εἴληφα· καὶ οὐκ ἐνεκάλεσεν αὐτῷ ἄνθρωπος.
19And before his long sleep he made protestations in the sight of the Lord and his anointed, I have not taken any man’s goods, so much as a shoe: and no man did accuse him.
20Καὶ μετὰ τὸ ὑπνῶσαι αὐτὸν προεφήτευσε, καὶ ὑπέδειξε βασιλεῖ τὴν τελευτὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀνύψωσεν ἐκ γῆς τὴν φωνὴν αὐτοῦ, ἐν προφητείᾳ ἐξαλεῖψαι ἀνομίαν λαοῦ.
20And after his death he prophesied, and shewed the king his end, and lifted up his voice from the earth in prophecy, to blot out the wickedness of the people.
