[10] With the sacred vestment, with gold and blue and purple, a work of an embroiderer, with the oracle of judgment, for manifestations of truth, with twisted scarlet, a work of an artisan,
[11] λίθοις πολυτελέσι γλύμματος σφραγῖδος, ἐν δέσει χρυσίου, ἔργῳ λιθουργοῦ, εἰς μνημόσυνον ἐν γραφῇ κεκολαμμένῃ κατ᾿ ἀριθμὸν φυλῶν ᾿Ισραήλ·
[11] with precious stones graven like seals, and set in gold, the work of the jeweller, with a writing engraved for a memorial, after the number of the tribes of Israel.
[12] στέφανον χρυσοῦν ἐπάνω κιδάρεως, ἐκτύπωμα σφραγῖδος ἁγιάσματος, καύχημα τιμῆς, ἔργον ἰσχύος, ἐπιθυμήματα ὀφθαλμῶν κοσμούμενα ὡραῖα·
[12] He set a crown of gold upon the mitre, wherein was engraved Holiness, an ornament of honour, a costly work, the desires of the eyes, goodly and beautiful.
[13] πρὸ αὐτοῦ οὐ γέγονε τοιαῦτα ἕως αἰῶνος, οὐκ ἐνεδύσατο ἀλλογενὴς πλὴν τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ μόνον καὶ τὰ ἔκγονα αὐτοῦ διαπαντός.
[13] Before him there were none such, neither did ever any stranger put them on, but only his children and his children’s children perpetually.
[14] θυσίαι αὐτοῦ ὁλοκαρπωθήσονται καθημέραν ἐνδελεχῶς δίς.
[14] Their sacrifices shall be wholly consumed every day twice continually.
[15] ἐπλήρωσε Μωσῆς τὰς χεῖρας καὶ ἔχρισεν αὐτὸν ἐν ἐλαίῳ ἁγίῳ· ἐγενήθη αὐτῷ εἰς διαθήκην αἰώνιον καὶ ἐν τῷ σπέρματι αὐτοῦ ἐν ἡμέραις οὐρανοῦ λειτουργεῖν αὐτῷ ἅμα καὶ ἱερατεύειν καὶ εὐλογεῖν τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ.
[15] Moses filled his hands and anointed him with holy oil: this was appointed unto him by an everlasting covenant, and to his seed, so long as the heavens should remain, that they should minister unto him, and execute the office of the priesthood, and bless the people in his name.
[16] ἐξελέξατο αὐτὸν ἀπὸ παντὸς ζῶντος προσαγαγεῖν κάρπωσιν Κυρίῳ, θυμίαμα καὶ εὐωδίαν εἰς μνημόσυνον, ἐξιλάσκεσθαι περὶ τοῦ λαοῦ σου.
[16] He chose him out of all men living to offer sacrifices to the Lord, incense, and a sweet savour, for a memorial, to make reconciliation for his people.
[17] ἔδωκεν αὐτὸν ἐν ἐντολαῖς αὐτοῦ ἐξουσίαν ἐν διαθήκαις κριμάτων διδάξαι τὸν ᾿Ιακὼβ τὰ μαρτύρια καὶ ἐν νόμῳ αὐτοῦ φωτίσαι ᾿Ισραήλ.
[17] He gave unto him his commandments, and authority in the statutes of judgments, that he should teach Jacob the testimonies, and enlighten Israel in his laws.
[18] ἐπισυνέστησαν αὐτῷ ἀλλότριοι καὶ ἐζήλωσαν αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, ἄνδρες οἱ περὶ Δαθὰν καὶ ᾿Αβειρὼν καὶ ἡ συναγωγὴ Κορὲ ἐν θυμῷ καὶ ὀργῇ·
[18] Strangers conspired together against him, and maligned him in the wilderness, even the men that were of Dathan’s and Abiron’s side, and the congregation of Core, with fury and wrath.
[19] εἶδε Κύριος καὶ οὐκ εὐδόκησε, καὶ συνετελέσθησαν ἐν θυμῷ ὀργῆς· ἐποίησεν αὐτοῖς τέρατα καταναλῶσαι ἐν πυρὶ φλογὸς αὐτοῦ.
[19] This the Lord saw, and it displeased him, and in his wrathful indignation were they consumed: he did wonders upon them, to consume them with the fiery flame.
[20] καὶ προσέθηκεν ᾿Ααρὼν δόξαν καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ κληρονομίαν· ἀπαρχὰς πρωτογεννημάτων ἐμέρισεν αὐτῷ, ἄρτον πρώτοις ἡτοίμασε πλησμονήν·
[20] But he made Aaron more honourable, and gave him an heritage, and divided unto him the firstfruits of the increase; especially he prepared bread in abundance:
[21] καὶ γὰρ θυσίας Κυρίου φάγονται, ἃς ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ τε καὶ τῷ σπέρματι αὐτοῦ.
[21] For they eat of the sacrifices of the Lord, which he gave unto him and his seed.
[22] πλὴν ἐν γῇ λαοῦ οὐ κληρονομήσει, καὶ μερὶς οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτῷ ἐν λαῷ, αὐτὸς γὰρ μερίς σου καὶ κληρονομία.
[22] Howbeit in the land of the people he had no inheritance, neither had he any portion among the people: for the Lord himself is his portion and inheritance.
[23] Καὶ Φινεὲς υἱὸς ᾿Ελεάζαρ τρίτος εἰς δόξαν ἐν τῷ ζηλῶσαι αὐτὸν ἐν φόβῳ Κυρίου καὶ στῆναι αὐτὸν ἐν τροπῇ λαοῦ, ἐν ἀγαθότητι προθυμίας ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐξιλάσατο περὶ τοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ.
[23] The third in glory is Phinees the son of Eleazar, because he had zeal in the fear of the Lord, and stood up with good courage of heart: when the people were turned back, and made reconciliation for Israel.
[24] διὰ τοῦτο ἐστάθη αὐτῷ διαθήκη εἰρήνης προστατεῖν ἁγίων καὶ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ, ἵνα αὐτῷ ᾖ καὶ τῷ σπέρματι αὐτοῦ ἱερωσύνης μεγαλεῖον εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας.
[24] Therefore was there a covenant of peace made with him, that he should be the chief of the sanctuary and of his people, and that he and his posterity should have the dignity of the priesthood for ever:
[25] καὶ διαθήκην τῷ Δαυὶδ υἱῷ ᾿Ιεσσαὶ ἐκ φυλῆς ᾿Ιούδα, κληρονομία βασιλέως υἱοῦ ἐξ υἱοῦ μόνου· κληρονομία ᾿Ααρὼν καὶ τῷ σπέρματι αὐτοῦ.
[25] According to the covenant made with David son of Jesse, of the tribe of Juda, that the inheritance of the king should be to his posterity alone: so the inheritance of Aaron should also be unto his seed.
[26] δῴη ὑμῖν σοφίαν ἐν καρδίᾳ ὑμῶν κρίνειν τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ, ἵνα μὴ ἀφανισθῇ τὰ ἀγαθὰ αὐτῶν καὶ τὴν δόξαν αὐτῶν εἰς γενεὰς αὐτῶν.
[26] God give you wisdom in your heart to judge his people in righteousness, that their good things be not abolished, and that their glory may endure for ever.
CHAPTER 46
ΚΡΑΤΑΙΟΣ ἐν πολέμοις ᾿Ιησοῦς Ναυῆ καὶ διάδοχος Μωυσῆ ἐν προφητείαις, ὃς ἐγένετο κατὰ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ μέγας ἐπὶ σωτηρίᾳ ἐκλεκτῶν αὐτοῦ ἐκδικῆσαι ἐπεγειρομένους ἐχθρούς, ὅπως κατακληρονομήσῃ τὸν ᾿Ισραήλ.
Jesus 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.
[2] ὡς ἐδοξάσθη ἐν τῷ ἐπᾶραι χεῖρας αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν τῷ ἐκτεῖναι ρομφαίαν ἐπὶ πόλεις.
[2] How great glory gat he, when he did lift up his hands, and stretched out his sword against the cities!
[3] τίς πρότερον αὐτοῦ οὕτως ἔστη; τοὺς γὰρ πολε�
�ίους Κύριος αὐτὸς ἐπήγαγεν.
[3] Who before him so stood to it? for the Lord himself brought his enemies unto him.
[4] οὐχὶ ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ ἀνεπόδισεν ὁ ἥλιος καὶ μία ἡμέρα ἐγενήθη πρὸς δύο;
[4] Did not the sun go back by his means? and was not one day as long as two?
[5] ἐπεκαλέσατο τὸν ῞Υψιστον δυνάστην ἐν τῷ θλῖψαι αὐτὸν ἐχθροὺς κυκλόθεν, καὶ ἐπήκουσεν αὐτῶν μέγας Κύριος ἐν λίθοις χαλάζης δυνάμεως κραταιᾶς·
[5] He called upon the most high Lord, when the enemies pressed upon him on every side; and the great Lord heard him. And with hailstones of mighty power,
[6] κατέρραξεν ἐπ᾿ ἔθνος πόλεμον καὶ ἐν καταβάσει ἀπώλεσεν ἀνθεστηκότας, ἵνα γνῶσιν ἔθνη πανοπλίαν αὐτοῦ ὅτι ἐναντίον Κυρίου ὁ πόλεμος αὐτοῦ· καὶ γὰρ ἐπηκολούθησεν ὀπίσω δυνάστου.
[6] He rushed down upon a nation in battle, and on a slope he destroyed those who resisted so that nations might know his armament, because their battle was against the Lord, for indeed he followed after a mighty one.
[7] Καὶ ἐν ἡμέραις Μωυσέως ἐποίησεν ἔλεος, αὐτὸς καὶ Χάλεβ υἱὸς ᾿Ιεφοννῆ, ἀντιστῆναι ἔναντι ἐκκλησίας, κωλῦσαι λαὸν ἀπὸ ἁμαρτίας καὶ κοπάσαι γογγυσμὸν πονηρίας.
[7] In 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.
[8] καὶ αὐτοὶ δύο ὄντες διεσώθησαν ἀπὸ ἑξακοσίων χιλιάδων πεζῶν, εἰσαγαγεῖν αὐτοὺς εἰς κληρονομίαν, εἰς γῆν ρέουσαν γάλα καὶ μέλι.
[8] And 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.
[9] καὶ ἔδωκεν ὁ Κύριος τῷ Χάλεβ ἰσχύν, καὶ ἕως γήρους διέμεινεν αὐτῷ ἐπιβῆναι αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὸ ὕψος τῆς γῆς, καὶ τὸ σπέρμα αὐτοῦ κατέσχε κληρονομίαν,
[9] The 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:
[10] ὅπως ἴδωσι πάντες οἱ υἱοὶ ᾿Ισραὴλ ὅτι καλὸν τὸ πορεύεσθαι ὀπίσω Κυρίου.
[10] That all the children of Israel might see that it is good to follow the Lord.
[11] Καὶ οἱ κριταί, ἕκαστος τῷ αὐτοῦ ὀνόματι, ὅσων οὐκ ἐξεπόρνευσεν ἡ καρδία καὶ ὅσοι οὐκ ἀπεστράφησαν ἀπὸ Κυρίου, εἴη τὸ μνημόσυνον αὐτῶν ἐν εὐλογίαις·
[11] And concerning the judges, every one by name, whose heart went not a whoring, nor departed from the Lord, let their memory be blessed.
[12] τὰ ὀστᾶ αὐτῶν ἀναθάλοι ἐκ τοῦ τόπου αὐτῶν καὶ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῶν ἀντικαταλλασσόμενον ἐφ᾿ υἱοῖς δεδοξασμένων αὐτῶν.
[12] Let their bones flourish out of their place, and let the name of them that were honoured be continued upon their children.
[13] ᾿Ηγαπημένος ὑπὸ Κυρίου αὐτοῦ Σαμουὴλ προφήτης Κυρίου κατέστησε βασιλείαν καὶ ἔχρισεν ἄρχοντας ἐπὶ τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ·
[13] Samuel, the prophet of the Lord, beloved of his Lord, established a kingdom, and anointed princes over his people.
[14] ἐν νόμῳ Κυρίου ἔκρινε συναγωγήν, καὶ ἐπεσκέψατο Κύριος τὸν ᾿Ιακώβ·
[14] By the law of the Lord he judged the congregation, and the Lord visited Jacob.
[15] ἐν πίστει αὐτοῦ ἠκριβάσθη προφήτης καὶ ἐγνώσθη ἐν πίστει αὐτοῦ πιστὸς ὁράσεως.
[15] By his faithfulness he was found a true prophet, and by his word he was known to be faithful in vision.
[16] καὶ ἐπεκαλέσατο τὸν Κύριον δυνάστην ἐν τῷ θλῖψαι ἐχθροὺς αὐτοῦ κυκλόθεν ἐν προσφορᾷ ἀρνὸς γαλαθηνοῦ·
[16] He called upon the mighty Lord, when his enemies pressed upon him on every side, when he offered the sucking lamb.
[17] καὶ ἐβρόντησεν ἀπ᾿ οὐρανοῦ Κύριος καὶ ἐν ἤχῳ μεγάλῳ ἀκουστὴν ἐποίησε τὴν φωνὴν αὐτοῦ
[17] And the Lord thundered from heaven, and with a great noise made his voice to be heard.
[18] καὶ ἐξέτριψεν ἡγουμένους Τυρίων καὶ πάντας ἄρχοντας Φυλιστιείμ.
[18] And he destroyed the rulers of the Tyrians, and all the princes of the Philistines.
[19] καὶ πρὸ καιροῦ κοιμήσεως αἰῶνος ἐπεμαρτύρατο ἔναντι Κυρίου καὶ χριστοῦ αὐτοῦ· χρήματα καὶ ἕως ὑποδημάτων ἀπὸ πάσης σαρκὸς οὐκ εἴληφα· καὶ οὐκ ἐνεκάλεσεν αὐτῷ ἄνθρωπος.
[19] And 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.
[20] καὶ μετὰ τὸ ὑπνῶσαι αὐτὸν ἐπροφήτευσε καὶ ὑπέδειξε βασιλεῖ τὴν τελευτὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀνύψωσεν ἐκ γῆς τὴν φωνὴν αὐτοῦ ἐν προφητείᾳ ἐξαλεῖψαι ἀνομίαν λαοῦ.
[20] And 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.
CHAPTER 47
ΚΑΙ μετὰ τοῦτο ἀνέστη Νάθαν προφητεύειν ἐν ἡμέραις Δαυίδ.
And after him rose up Nathan to prophesy in the time of David.
[2] ὥσπερ στέαρ ἀφωρισμένον ἀπὸ σωτηρίου, οὕτως Δαυὶδ ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν ᾿Ισραήλ.
[2] As is the fat taken away from the peace offering, so was David chosen out of the children of Israel.
[3] ἐν λέουσιν ἔπαιξεν ὡς ἐν ἐρίφοις καὶ ἐν ἄρκοις ὡς ἐν ἄρνασι προβάτων.
[3] He played with lions as with kids, and with bears as with lambs.
[4] ἐν νεότητι αὐτοῦ οὐχὶ ἀπέκτεινε γίγαντα καὶ ἐξῇρεν ὀνειδισμὸν ἐκ λαοῦ ἐν τῷ ἐπᾶραι χεῖρα ἐν λίθῳ σφενδόνης καὶ καταβαλεῖν γαυρίαμα τοῦ Γολιάθ;
[4] Slew he not a giant, when he was yet but young? and did he not take away reproach from the people, when he lifted up his hand with the stone in the sling, and beat down the boasting of Goliath?
[5] ἐπεκαλέσατο γὰρ Κύριον τὸν ῞Υψιστον καὶ ἔδωκεν ἐν τῇ δεξιᾷ αὐτοῦ κράτος ἐξᾶραι ἄνθρωπον δυνατὸν ἐν πολέμῳ, ἀνυψῶσαι κέρας λαοῦ αὐτοῦ.
[5] For he called upon the most high Lord; and he gave him strength in his right hand to slay that mighty warrior, and set up the horn of his people.
[6] οὕτως ἐν μυριάσιν ἐδόξασαν αὐτὸν καὶ ᾔνεσαν αὐτὸν ἐν εὐλογίαις Κυρίου ἐν τῷ φέρεσθαι αὐτῷ διάδημα δόξης·
[6] So the people honoured him with ten thousands, and praised him in the blessings of the Lord, in that he gave him a crown of glory.
[7] ἐξέτριψε γὰρ ἐχθροὺς κυκλόθεν καὶ ἐξουδένωσε Φυλιστιεὶμ τοὺς ὑπεναντίους· ἕως σήμερον συνέτριψεν αὐτῶν κέρας.
[7] For he destroyed the enemies on every side, and brought to nought the Philistines his adversaries, and brake their horn in sunder unto this day.
[8] ἐν παντὶ ἔργῳ αὐτοῦ ἔδωκεν ἐξομολόγησιν ἁγίῳ ῾Υψίστῳ ρήματι δόξης· ἐν πάσῃ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ ὕμνησε καὶ ἠγάπησε τὸν ποιήσαντα αὐτόν.
[8] In all his works he praised the Holy One most high with words of glory; with his whole heart he sung songs, and loved him that made him.
[9] καὶ ἔστησε ψαλτῳδοὺς κατέναντι τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου καὶ ἐξ ἠχοῦς αὐτῶν γλυκαίνειν μέλη·
[9] He set singers also before the altar, that by their voices they might make sweet melody.
[10] ἔδωκεν ἐν ἑορταῖς εὐπρέπειαν καὶ ἐκόσμησε καιροὺς μέχρι συντελείας ἐν τῷ αἰνεῖν αὐτοὺς τὸ ἅγιον ὄνομα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπὸ πρωΐ ἠχεῖν τὸ ἁγίασμα.
[10] He beautified their feasts, and set in order the solemn times until the end, that they might praise his holy name, and that the temple might sound from morning.
[11] Κύριος ἀφεῖλε τὰς ἁμαρτίας αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀνύψωσεν εἰς αἰῶνα τὸ κέρας αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ διαθήκην βασιλέων καὶ θρόνον δόξης ἐν τῷ ᾿Ισραήλ.
