ΚΡΙΤΑΙ - Giudici - Judges 2

GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Και ανεβη αγγελος Κυριου απο Γαλγαλων εις Βοκιμ και ειπε, Σας ανεβιβασα εξ Αιγυπτου και σας εφερα εις την γην την οποιαν ωμοσα προς τους πατερας σας? και ειπα, Δεν θελω αθετησει την προς εσας διαθηκην μου εις τον αιωνα?	1 And an Angel of the Lord went up from Gilgal to the Place of Weeping, and he said: “I led you away from Egypt, and I led you into the land, about which I swore to your fathers. And I promised that I would not nullify my covenant with you, even forever:
2 και σεις δεν θελετε καμει συνθηκην προς τους κατοικους του τοπου τουτου? τα θυσιαστηρια αυτων θελετε καταστρεψει. Δεν υπηκουσατε ομως εις την φωνην μου? δια τι επραξατε τουτο;	2 but only if you would not form a pact with the inhabitants of this land. Instead, you should overturn their altars. Yet you were not willing to listen to my voice. Why have you done this?
3 Δια τουτο και εγω ειπα, Δεν θελω εκδιωξει αυτους απ' εμπροσθεν σας? αλλα θελουσιν εισθαι εναντιοι σας, και οι θεοι αυτων θελουσιν εισθαι παγις εις εσας.	3 For this reason, I am not willing to destroy them before your face, so that you may have enemies, and so that their gods may be your ruin.”
4 Και καθως ελαλησεν ο αγγελος του Κυριου τους λογους τουτους προς παντας τους υιους Ισραηλ, ο λαος υψωσε την φωνην αυτου και εκλαυσε.	4 And when the Angel of the Lord spoke these words to all the sons of Israel, they lifted up their voice, and they wept.
5 Και εκαλεσαν το ονομα του τοπου εκεινου Βοκιμ? και εθυσιασαν εκει εις τον Κυριον.	5 And the name of that place was called, the Place of Weeping, or the Place of Tears. And they immolated victims to the Lord in that place.
6 Και οτε απελυσε τον λαον ο Ιησους, οι υιοι Ισραηλ υπηγον εκαστος εις την κληρονομιαν αυτου, δια να κατακληρονομησωσι την γην.	6 Then Joshua dismissed the people, and the sons of Israel went away, each one to his own possession, so that they might obtain it.
7 Και ελατρευσαν ο λαος τον Κυριον πασας τας ημερας του Ιησου και πασας τας ημερας των πρεσβυτερων, οιτινες επεζησαν μετα τον Ιησουν και ειδον παντα τα εργα τα μεγαλα του Κυριου, οσα εκαμεν υπερ του Ισραηλ.	7 And they served the Lord, during all his days, and during all the days of the elders, who lived for a long time after him, and who knew all the works of the Lord, which he had done for Israel.
8 Και ετελευτησεν Ιησους, ο υιος του Ναυη, ο δουλος του Κυριου, ηλικιας εκατον δεκα ετων.	8 Then Joshua, the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died, being one hundred and ten years old.
9 Και εθαψαν αυτον εις το οριον της κληρονομιας αυτου εν Θαμναθ-αρες, εν τω ορει Εφραιμ, κατα το βορειον μερος του ορους Γαας.	9 And they buried him in the parts of his possession at Timnath-Serah, on Mount Ephraim, before the northern side of Mount Gaash.
10 Και πασα ετι η γενεα εκεινη προσετεθησαν εις τους πατερας αυτων? και εσηκωθη αλλη γενεα μετ' αυτους, ητις δεν εγνωρισε τον Κυριον ουδε τα εργα, τα οποια εκαμεν υπερ του Ισραηλ.	10 And that entire generation was gathered to their fathers. And there rose up others, who had not known the Lord and the works that he had done for Israel.
11 Και επραξαν οι υιοι Ισραηλ πονηρα ενωπιον του Κυριου και ελατρευσαν τους Βααλειμ?	11 And the sons of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and they served the Baals.
12 και εγκατελιπον Κυριον τον Θεον των πατερων αυτων, τον εξαγαγοντα αυτους εκ γης Αιγυπτου, και υπηγον κατοπιν αλλων θεων, εκ των θεων των λαων των περιξ αυτων, και προσεκυνησαν αυτους και παρωργισαν τον Κυριον.	12 And they abandoned the Lord, the God of their fathers, who had led them away from the land of Egypt. And they followed foreign gods and the gods of the peoples who were living around them, and they adored them. And they provoked the Lord to wrath,
13 Και εγκατελιπον τον Κυριον και ελατρευσαν τον Βααλ και τας Ασταρωθ.	13 forsaking him, and serving Baal and Ashtaroth.
14 Και εξηφθη ο θυμος του Κυριου κατα του Ισραηλ, και παρεδωκεν αυτους εις την χειρα των λεηλατιστων, και ελεηλατησαν αυτους? και επωλησεν αυτους εις την χειρα των εχθρων αυτων κυκλω, ωστε δεν ηδυνηθησαν πλεον να σταθωσι κατα προσωπον των εχθρων αυτων.	14 And the Lord, having become angry against Israel, delivered them into the hands of plunderers, who seized them and sold them to the enemies that were living on all sides. Neither were they able to withstand their adversaries.
15 Πανταχου οπου εξηρχοντο, η χειρ του Κυριου ητο εναντιον αυτων προς κακον, καθως ελαλησεν ο Κυριος και καθως ωμοσεν ο Κυριος προς αυτους? και ηλθον εις μεγαλην αμηχανιαν.	15 Instead, wherever they wanted to go, the hand of the Lord was upon them, just as he said and just as he swore to them. And they were greatly afflicted.
16 Τοτε ανεστησεν ο Κυριος κριτας, οιτινες εσωσαν αυτους εκ της χειρος των λεηλατουντων αυτους.	16 And the Lord raised up judges, who would free them from the hands of their oppressors. But they were not willing to listen to them.
17 Πλην ουδε εις τους κριτας αυτων υπηκουσαν, αλλ' επορνευσαν κατοπιν αλλων θεων και προσεκυνησαν αυτους? εξεκλιναν ταχεως απο της οδου, εις την οποιαν περιεπατησαν οι πατερες αυτων υπακουοντες εις τας εντολας του Κυριου? δεν εκαμον ουτω.	17 Fornicating with foreign gods and adoring them, they quickly deserted the way along which their fathers had advanced. And having heard the commandments of the Lord, they did all things to the contrary.
18 Και οτε ανεστησεν ο Κυριος εις αυτους κριτας, τοτε ο Κυριος ητο μετα του κριτου και εσωζεν αυτους εκ της χειρος των εχθρων αυτων καθ' ολας τας ημερας του κριτου? διοτι εσπλαγχνισθη ο Κυριος εις τους στεναγμους αυτων τους εξ αιτιας των καταθλιβοντων αυτους και καταπιεζοντων αυτους.	18 And while the Lord was raising up the judges, in their days, he was moved to mercy, and he listened to the groaning of the afflicted, and he freed them from the slaughter of their oppressors.
19 Οτε δε απεθνησκεν ο κριτης, επεστρεφον και διεφθειροντο χειροτερα παρα τους πατερας αυτων, υπαγοντες κατοπιν αλλων θεων, δια να λατρευωσιν αυτους και να προσκυνωσιν αυτους? δεν επαυον απο των πραξεων αυτων ουδε απο της οδου αυτων της διεστραμμενης.	19 But after a judge had died, they turned back, and they were doing much worse things than their fathers had done, following strange gods, serving them, and adoring them. They did not abandon their pursuits and their very stubborn way, by which they were accustomed to walk.
20 Και εξηφθη ο θυμος του Κυριου κατα του Ισραηλ, και ειπεν, Επειδη ο λαος ουτος παρεβη την διαθηκην μου, την οποιαν προσεταξα εις τους πατερας αυτων, και δεν υπηκουσεν εις την φωνην μου?	20 And the fury of the Lord was enraged against Israel, and he said: “For this people has made void my covenant, which I had formed with their fathers, and they have despised listening to my voice.
21 και εγω δεν θελω εκδιωξει πλεον απ' εμπροσθεν αυτων ουδεν εκ των εθνων, τα οποια αφηκεν ο Ιησους οτε ετελευτησε,	21 And so, I will not destroy the nations that Joshua left behind when he died,
22 δια να δοκιμασω τον Ισραηλ δια μεσου αυτων, εαν φυλαττωσι την οδον του Κυριου, περιπατουντες εν αυτη, καθως εφυλαξαν αυτην οι πατερες αυτων, η ουχι.	22 so that, by them, I may test Israel, as to whether or not they will keep the way of the Lord, and walk in it, just as their fathers kept it.”
23 Και αφηκε Κυριος τα εθνη ταυτα, χωρις να εκδιωξη ταχεως αυτα? ουδε παρεδωκεν αυτα εις την χειρα του Ιησου.	23 Therefore, the Lord left all these nations, and he was not willing to quickly overthrow them, nor did he deliver them into the hands of Joshua.
