Delphi Septuagint

by Lancelot C L Brenton (ed)

  [1] And thou, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, Rhos prince of Mesoch and Thobel:

  [2] καὶ συνάξω σε καὶ καθοδηγήσω σε καὶ ἀναβιβῶ σε ἀπ’ ἐσχάτου τοῦ βορρᾶ καὶ ἀνάξω σε ἐπὶ τὰ ὄρη τοῦ Ισραηλ.

  [2] and I will assemble thee, and guide thee, and raise thee up on the extremity of the north, and I will bring thee up upon the mountains of Israel.

  [3] καὶ ἀπολῶ τὸ τόξον σου ἀπὸ τῆς χειρός σου τῆς ἀριστερᾶς καὶ τὰ τοξεύματά σου ἀπὸ τῆς χειρός σου τῆς δεξιᾶς καὶ καταβαλῶ σε

  [3] And I will destroy the bow out of thy left hand, and thine arrows out of thy right hand, and I will cast thee down on the mountains of Israel;

  [4] ἐπὶ τὰ ὄρη Ισραηλ, καὶ πεσῇ σὺ καὶ πάντες οἱ περὶ σέ, καὶ τὰ ἔθνη τὰ μετὰ σοῦ δοθήσονται εἰς πλήθη ὀρνέων, παντὶ πετεινῷ καὶ πᾶσι τοῖς θηρίοις τοῦ πεδίου δέδωκά σε καταβρωθῆναι.

  [4] and thou and all that belong to thee shall fall, and the nations that are with thee shall be given to multitudes of birds, even to every fowl, and I have given thee to all the wild beasts of the field to be devoured.

  [5] ἐπὶ προσώπου τοῦ πεδίου πεσῇ, ὅτι ἐγὼ ἐλάλησα, λέγει κύριος.

  [5] Thou shalt fall on the face of the field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord.

  [6] καὶ ἀποστελῶ πῦρ ἐπὶ Γωγ, καὶ κατοικηθήσονται αἱ νῆσοι ἐπ’ εἰρήνης· καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι κύριος.

  [6] And I will send a fire upon Gog, and the islands shall be securely inhabited: and they shall know that I am the Lord.

  [7] καὶ τὸ ὄνομά μου τὸ ἅγιον γνωσθήσεται ἐν μέσῳ λαοῦ μου Ισραηλ, καὶ οὐ βεβηλωθήσεται τὸ ὄνομά μου τὸ ἅγιον οὐκέτι· καὶ γνώσονται τὰ ἔθνη ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι κύριος ἅγιος ἐν Ισραηλ.

  [7] And my holy name shall be known in the midst of my people Israel; and my holy name shall no more be profaned: and the nations shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel.

  [8] ἰδοὺ ἥκει, καὶ γνώσῃ ὅτι ἔσται, λέγει κύριος κύριος· αὕτη ἐστὶν ἡ ἡμέρα, ἐν ᾗ ἐλάλησα.

  [8] Behold it is come, and thou shalt know that it shall be, saith the Lord God; this is the day concerning which I have spoken.

  [9] καὶ ἐξελεύσονται οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὰς πόλεις Ισραηλ καὶ καύσουσιν ἐν τοῖς ὅπλοις, πέλταις καὶ κοντοῖς καὶ τόξοις καὶ τοξεύμασιν καὶ ῥάβδοις χειρῶν καὶ λόγχαις· καὶ καύσουσιν ἐν αὐτοῖς πῦρ ἑπτὰ ἔτη.

  [9] And they that inhabit the cities of Israel shall come forth, and make a fire with the arms, the shields and the spears, and bows and arrows, and hand-staves, and lances, and they shall keep fire burning with them for seven years:

  [10] καὶ οὐ μὴ λάβωσιν ξύλα ἐκ τοῦ πεδίου οὐδὲ μὴ κόψωσιν ἐκ τῶν δρυμῶν, ἀλλ’ ἢ τὰ ὅπλα κατακαύσουσιν πυρί· καὶ προνομεύσουσιν τοὺς προνομεύσαντας αὐτοὺς καὶ σκυλεύσουσιν τοὺς σκυλεύσαντας αὐτούς, λέγει κύριος.

  [10] and they shall not take any wood out of the field, neither shall they cut any out of the forests, but they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall plunder those that plundered them, and spoil those that spoiled them, saith the Lord.

  [11] καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ δώσω τῷ Γωγ τόπον ὀνομαστόν, μνημεῖον ἐν Ισραηλ, τὸ πολυάνδριον τῶν ἐπελθόντων πρὸς τῇ θαλάσσῃ, καὶ περιοικοδομήσουσιν τὸ περιστόμιον τῆς φάραγγος· καὶ κατορύξουσιν ἐκεῖ τὸν Γωγ καὶ πᾶν τὸ πλῆθος αὐτοῦ, καὶ κληθήσεται Τὸ γαι τὸ πολυάνδριον τοῦ Γωγ.

  [11] And it shall come to pass that in that day I will give to Gog a place of renown, a tomb in Israel, the burial-place of them that approach the sea: and they shall build round about the outlet of the valley, and there they shall bury Gog and all his multitude: and the place shall then be called the burial-place of Gog.

  [12] καὶ κατορύξουσιν αὐτοὺς οἶκος Ισραηλ, ἵνα καθαρισθῇ ἡ γῆ, ἐν ἑπταμήνῳ·

  [12] And the house of Israel shall bury them, that the land may be cleansed in the space of seven months.

  [13] καὶ κατορύξουσιν αὐτοὺς πᾶς ὁ λαὸς τῆς γῆς, καὶ ἔσται αὐτοῖς εἰς ὀνομαστὸν ᾗ ἡμέρᾳ ἐδοξάσθην, λέγει κύριος.

  [13] Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a place of renown in the day wherein it was glorified, saith the Lord.

  [14] καὶ ἄνδρας διὰ παντὸς διαστελοῦσιν ἐπιπορευομένους τὴν γῆν θάψαι τοὺς καταλελειμμένους ἐπὶ προσώπου τῆς γῆς καθαρίσαι αὐτὴν μετὰ τὴν ἑπτάμηνον, καὶ ἐκζητήσουσιν.

  [14] And they shall appoint men continually to go over the land, to bury them that have been left on the face of the earth, to cleanse it after the space of seven months, and they shall seek them out.

  [15] καὶ πᾶς ὁ διαπορευόμενος τὴν γῆν καὶ ἰδὼν ὀστοῦν ἀνθρώπου οἰκοδομήσει παρ’ αὐτὸ σημεῖον, ἕως ὅτου θάψωσιν αὐτὸ οἱ θάπτοντες εἰς τὸ γαι τὸ πολυάνδριον τοῦ Γωγ·

  [15] And every one that goes through the land, and sees a man’s bone, shall set up a mark by it, until the buriers shall have buried it in the valley, the burial place of Gog.

  [16] καὶ γὰρ τὸ ὄνομα τῆς πόλεως Πολυάνδριον· καὶ καθαρισθήσεται ἡ γῆ.

  [16] For the name of the city shall be Burial-place: so shall the land be cleansed.

  [17] καὶ σύ, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, εἰπόν Τάδε λέγει κύριος Εἰπὸν παντὶ ὀρνέῳ πετεινῷ καὶ πρὸς πάντα τὰ θηρία τοῦ πεδίου Συνάχθητε καὶ ἔρχεσθε, συνάχθητε ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν περικύκλῳ ἐπὶ τὴν θυσίαν μου, ἣν τέθυκα ὑμῖν, θυσίαν μεγάλην ἐπὶ τὰ ὄρη Ισραηλ, καὶ φάγεσθε κρέα καὶ πίεσθε αἷμα.

  [17] And thou, son of man, say, Thus saith the Lord; Say to every winged bird, and to all the wild beasts of the field, Gather yourselves, and come; gather yourselves from all places round about to my sacrifice, which I have made for you, even a great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel, and ye shall eat flesh, and drink blood.

  [18] κρέα γιγάντων φάγεσθε καὶ αἷμα ἀρχόντων τῆς γῆς πίεσθε, κριοὺς καὶ μόσχους καὶ τράγους, καὶ οἱ μόσχοι ἐστεατωμένοι πάντες.

  [18] Ye shall eat the flesh of mighty men, and ye shall drink the blood of princes of the earth, rams, and calves and goats, and they are all fatted calves.

  [19] καὶ φάγεσθε στέαρ εἰς πλησμονὴν καὶ πίεσθε αἷμα εἰς μέθην ἀπὸ τῆς θυσίας μου, ἧς ἔθυσα ὑμῖν.

  [19] And ye shall eat fat t
ill ye are full, and shall drink wine till ye are drunken, of my sacrifice which I have prepared for you.

  [20] καὶ ἐμπλησθήσεσθε ἐπὶ τῆς τραπέζης μου ἵππον καὶ ἀναβάτην, γίγαντα καὶ πάντα ἄνδρα πολεμιστήν, λέγει κύριος.

  [20] And ye shall be filled at my table, eating horse, and rider, and mighty man, and every warrior, saith the Lord.

  [21] καὶ δώσω τὴν δόξαν μου ἐν ὑμῖν, καὶ ὄψονται πάντα τὰ ἔθνη τὴν κρίσιν μου, ἣν ἐποίησα, καὶ τὴν χεῖρά μου, ἣν ἐπήγαγον ἐπ’ αὐτούς.

  [21] And I will set my glory among you, and all the nations shall see my judgment which I have wrought, and my hand which I have brought upon them.

  [22] καὶ γνώσονται οἶκος Ισραηλ ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι κύριος ὁ θεὸς αὐτῶν ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης καὶ ἐπέκεινα.

  [22] And the house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God, from this day and onwards.

  [23] καὶ γνώσονται πάντα τὰ ἔθνη ὅτι διὰ τὰς ἁμαρτίας αὐτῶν ᾐχμαλωτεύθησαν οἶκος Ισραηλ, ἀνθ’ ὧν ἠθέτησαν εἰς ἐμέ, καὶ ἀπέστρεψα τὸ πρόσωπόν μου ἀπ’ αὐτῶν καὶ παρέδωκα αὐτοὺς εἰς χεῖρας τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἔπεσαν πάντες μαχαίρᾳ.

  [23] And all the nations shall know that the house of Israel were led captive because of their sins, because they rebelled against me, and I turned away my face from them, and delivered them into the hands of their enemies, and they all fell by the sword.

  [24] κατὰ τὰς ἀκαθαρσίας αὐτῶν καὶ κατὰ τὰ ἀνομήματα αὐτῶν ἐποίησα αὐτοῖς καὶ ἀπέστρεψα τὸ πρόσωπόν μου ἀπ’ αὐτῶν.

  [24] According to their uncleannesses and according to their transgressions did I deal with them, and I turned away my face from them.

  [25] διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει κύριος κύριος Νῦν ἀποστρέψω τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν Ιακωβ καὶ ἐλεήσω τὸν οἶκον Ισραηλ καὶ ζηλώσω διὰ τὸ ὄνομα τὸ ἅγιόν μου.

  [25] Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Now will I turn back captivity in Jacob, and will have mercy on the house of Israel, and will be jealous for the sake of my holy name.

  [26] καὶ λήμψονται τὴν ἀτιμίαν ἑαυτῶν καὶ τὴν ἀδικίαν, ἣν ἠδίκησαν, ἐν τῷ κατοικισθῆναι αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν αὐτῶν ἐπ’ εἰρήνης, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ ἐκφοβῶν.

  [26] And they shall bear their reproach, and the iniquity which they committed when they dwelt upon their land in peace. Yet there shall be none to terrify them

  [27] ἐν τῷ ἀποστρέψαι με αὐτοὺς ἐκ τῶν ἐθνῶν καὶ συναγαγεῖν με αὐτοὺς ἐκ τῶν χωρῶν τῶν ἐθνῶν καὶ ἁγιασθήσομαι ἐν αὐτοῖς ἐνώπιον τῶν ἐθνῶν,

  [27] when I have brought them back from the nations, and gathered them out of the countries of the nations: and I will be sanctified among them in the presence of the nations.

  [28] καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι κύριος ὁ θεὸς αὐτῶν ἐν τῷ ἐπιφανῆναί με αὐτοῖς ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν.

  [28] And they shall know that I am the Lord their God, when I have been manifested to them among the nations.

  [29] καὶ οὐκ ἀποστρέψω οὐκέτι τὸ πρόσωπόν μου ἀπ’ αὐτῶν, ἀνθ’ οὗ ἐξέχεα τὸν θυμόν μου ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον Ισραηλ, λέγει κύριος κύριος

  [29] And I will no more turn away my face from them, because I have poured out my wrath upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord God.

  CHAPTER 40

  [1] Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ πέμπτῳ καὶ εἰκοστῷ ἔτει τῆς αἰχμαλωσίας ἡμῶν ἐν τῷ πρώτῳ μηνὶ δεκάτῃ τοῦ μηνὸς ἐν τῷ τεσσαρεσκαιδεκάτῳ ἔτει μετὰ τὸ ἁλῶναι τὴν πόλιν, ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἐγένετο ἐπ’ ἐμὲ χεὶρ κυρίου καὶ ἤγαγέν με

  [1] And it came to pass in the twenty-fifth year of our captivity, in the first month, on the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after the taking of the city, in that day the hand of the Lord was upon me, and brought me

  [2] ἐν ὁράσει θεοῦ εἰς τὴν γῆν τοῦ Ισραηλ καὶ ἔθηκέν με ἐπ’ ὄρους ὑψηλοῦ σφόδρα, καὶ ἐπ’ αὐτοῦ ὡσεὶ οἰκοδομὴ πόλεως ἀπέναντι.

  [2] in a vision of God into the land of Israel, and set me on a very high mountain, and upon it there was as it were the frame of a city before me.

  [3] καὶ εἰσήγαγέν με ἐκεῖ, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀνήρ, καὶ ἡ ὅρασις αὐτοῦ ἦν ὡσεὶ ὅρασις χαλκοῦ στίλβοντος, καὶ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ ἦν σπαρτίον οἰκοδόμων καὶ κάλαμος μέτρου, καὶ αὐτὸς εἱστήκει ἐπὶ τῆς πύλης.

  [3] And he brought me in thither, and, behold, there was a man, and the appearance of him was as the appearance of shining brass, and in his hand was a builder’s line, and a measuring reed; and he stood at the gate.

  [4] καὶ εἶπεν πρός με ὁ ἀνήρ Ἑώρακας, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου; ἐν τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς σου ἰδὲ καὶ ἐν τοῖς ὠσίν σου ἄκουε καὶ τάξον εἰς τὴν καρδίαν σου πάντα, ὅσα ἐγὼ δεικνύω σοι, διότι ἕνεκα τοῦ δεῖξαί σοι εἰσελήλυθας ὧδε καὶ δείξεις πάντα, ὅσα σὺ ὁρᾷς, τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ Ισραηλ.

  [4] And the man said to me,

  Look with thine eyes at him whom thou hast seen, son of man, and hear with thine ears, and lay up in thine heart all things that I show thee; for thou hast come in hither that I might show thee, and thou shalt show all things that thou seest to the house of Israel.

  [5] Καὶ ἰδοὺ περίβολος ἔξωθεν τοῦ οἴκου κύκλῳ· καὶ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ τοῦ ἀνδρὸς κάλαμος, τὸ μέτρον πηχῶν ἓξ ἐν πήχει καὶ παλαιστῆς, καὶ διεμέτρησεν τὸ προτείχισμα, πλάτος ἴσον τῷ καλάμῳ καὶ τὸ ὕψος αὐτοῦ ἴσον τῷ καλάμῳ.

  [5] And behold a wall round about the house without, and in the man’s hand a reed, the measure of it was six cubits by the cubit, and a span: and he measured across the front wall; the breadth was equal to the reed, and the length of it equal to the reed.

  [6] καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὴν πύλην τὴν βλέπουσαν κατὰ ἀνατολὰς ἐν ἑπτὰ ἀναβαθμοῖς καὶ διεμέτρησεν τὸ αιλαμ τῆς πύλης ἴσον τῷ καλάμῳ

  [6] And he entered by seven steps into the gate that looks eastward, and he measured across the porch of the gate equal to the reed.

  [7] καὶ τὸ θεε ἴσον τῷ καλάμῳ τὸ μῆκος καὶ ἴσον τῷ καλάμῳ τὸ πλάτος καὶ τὸ αιλαμ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ θαιηλαθα πηχῶν ἓξ καὶ τὸ θεε τὸ δεύτερον ἴσον τῷ καλάμῳ τὸ πλάτος καὶ ἴσον τῷ καλάμῳ τὸ μῆκος καὶ τὸ αιλαμ πήχεων πέντε

  [7] And the chamber was equal in length to the reed, and equal in breadth to the reed; and the porch between the chambers six cubits; and the second cham
ber equal in breadth to the reed, and equal in length to the reed, and the porch five cubits.

  [8] καὶ τὸ θεε τὸ τρίτον ἴσον τῷ καλάμῳ τὸ πλάτος καὶ ἴσον τῷ καλάμῳ τὸ μῆκος

  [8] And the third chamber equal in length to the reed, and equal in breadth to the reed.

  [9] καὶ τὸ αιλαμ τοῦ πυλῶνος πλησίον τοῦ αιλαμ τῆς πύλης πηχῶν ὀκτὼ καὶ τὰ αιλευ πηχῶν δύο καὶ τὸ αιλαμ τῆς πύλης ἔσωθεν

  [9] And the porch of the gateway (near the porch of the gate) eight cubits; and the posts there of two cubits; and the porch of the gate was inward:

  [10] καὶ τὰ θεε τῆς πύλης θεε κατέναντι τρεῖς ἔνθεν καὶ τρεῖς ἔνθεν, καὶ μέτρον ἓν τοῖς τρισὶν καὶ μέτρον ἓν τοῖς αιλαμ ἔνθεν καὶ ἔνθεν.

  [10] and the chambers of the gate of the chamber in front were three on one side and three on the other, and there was one measure to the three: there was one measure to the porches on this side and on that.

  [11] καὶ διεμέτρησεν τὸ πλάτος τῆς θύρας τοῦ πυλῶνος πηχῶν δέκα καὶ τὸ εὖρος τοῦ πυλῶνος πηχῶν δέκα τριῶν,

  [11] And he measured the breadth of the door of the gateway, ten cubits; and the breadth of the gateway thirteen cubits.

  [12] καὶ πῆχυς ἐπισυναγόμενος ἐπὶ πρόσωπον τῶν θειμ ἔνθεν καὶ ἔνθεν, καὶ τὸ θεε πηχῶν ἓξ ἔνθεν καὶ πηχῶν ἓξ ἔνθεν.

  [12] And the space before the chambers was narrowed to a cubit in front of the chambers on this side and on that side: and the chamber was six cubits this way, and six cubits that way.

  [13] καὶ διεμέτρησεν τὴν πύλην ἀπὸ τοῦ τοίχου τοῦ θεε ἐπὶ τὸν τοῖχον τοῦ θεε πλάτος πήχεις εἴκοσι πέντε, αὕτη πύλη ἐπὶ πύλην·
