LXX	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 και ταυτα τα εθνη αφηκεν ιησους ωστε πειρασαι εν αυτοις τον ισραηλ παντας τους μη εγνωκοτας παντας τους πολεμους χανααν	1 These are the nations which the Lord left, so that by them he might instruct Israel and all who had not known the wars of the Canaanites,
2 πλην δια τας γενεας των υιων ισραηλ του διδαξαι αυτους πολεμον πλην οι εμπροσθεν αυτων ουκ εγνωσαν αυτα	2 so that afterward their sons might learn to contend with their enemies, and to have a willingness to do battle:
3 τας πεντε σατραπειας των αλλοφυλων και παντα τον χαναναιον και τον σιδωνιον και τον ευαιον τον κατοικουντα τον λιβανον απο του ορους του βαλαερμων εως λοβωημαθ	3 the five princes of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites who were living on Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal-Hermon as far as the entrance to Hamath.
4 και εγενετο ωστε πειρασαι εν αυτοις τον ισραηλ γνωναι ει ακουσονται τας εντολας κυριου ας ενετειλατο τοις πατρασιν αυτων εν χειρι μωυση	4 And he left them, so that by them he might test Israel, as to whether or not they would listen to the commandments of the Lord, which he instructed to their fathers by the hand of Moses.
5 και οι υιοι ισραηλ κατωκησαν εν μεσω του χαναναιου και του χετταιου και του αμορραιου και του φερεζαιου και του ευαιου και του ιεβουσαιου	5 And so, the sons of Israel lived in the midst of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
6 και ελαβον τας θυγατερας αυτων εαυτοις εις γυναικας και τας θυγατερας αυτων εδωκαν τοις υιοις αυτων και ελατρευσαν τοις θεοις αυτων	6 And they took their daughters as wives, and they gave their own daughters to their sons, and they served their gods.
7 και εποιησαν οι υιοι ισραηλ το πονηρον εναντι κυριου και επελαθοντο κυριου θεου αυτων και ελατρευσαν ταις βααλιμ και τοις αλσεσιν	7 And they did evil in the sight of the Lord, and they forgot their God, while serving the Baals and Ashtaroth.
8 και ωργισθη θυμω κυριος εν τω ισραηλ και απεδοτο αυτους εις χειρας χουσαρσαθωμ βασιλεως συριας ποταμων και εδουλευσαν αυτω οκτω ετη	8 And the Lord, having become angry with Israel, delivered them into the hands of Cushan-Rishathaim, the king of Mesopotamia, and they served him for eight years.
9 και εκεκραξαν οι υιοι ισραηλ προς κυριον και ηγειρεν κυριος σωτηρα τω ισραηλ και εσωσεν αυτους τον γοθονιηλ υιον κενεζ αδελφον χαλεβ τον νεωτερον αυτου και εισηκουσεν αυτου	9 And they cried out to the Lord, who raised up for them a savior, and he freed them, namely, Othniel, the son of Kenaz, a younger brother of Caleb.
10 και εγενετο επ' αυτον πνευμα κυριου και εκρινεν τον ισραηλ και εξηλθεν επι τον πολεμον και παρεδωκεν κυριος εν χειρι αυτου τον χουσαρσαθωμ βασιλεα συριας και εκραταιωθη η χειρ αυτου επι τον χουσαρσαθωμ	10 And the Spirit of the Lord was in him, and he judged Israel. And he went out to fight, and the Lord delivered Cushan-Rishathaim, the king of Syria, and he overwhelmed him.
11 και ησυχασεν η γη ετη πεντηκοντα και απεθανεν γοθονιηλ υιος κενεζ	11 And the land was quiet for forty years. And Othniel, the son of Kenaz, died.
12 και προσεθεντο οι υιοι ισραηλ ποιησαι το πονηρον εναντι κυριου και ενισχυσεν κυριος τον εγλωμ βασιλεα μωαβ επι τον ισραηλ δια το πεποιηκεναι αυτους το πονηρον εναντι κυριου	12 Then the sons of Israel resumed doing evil in the sight of the Lord, who strengthened Eglon, the king of Moab, against them because they did evil in his sight.
13 και προσηγαγεν προς αυτον παντας τους υιους αμμων και αμαληκ και επορευθη και επαταξεν τον ισραηλ και εκληρονομησεν την πολιν των φοινικων	13 And he joined to him the sons of Ammon and the sons of Amalek. And he went forth and struck Israel, and he possessed the City of Palms.
14 και εδουλευσαν οι υιοι ισραηλ τω εγλωμ βασιλει μωαβ ετη δεκα οκτω	14 And the sons of Israel served Eglon, the king of Moab, for eighteen years.
15 και εκεκραξαν οι υιοι ισραηλ προς κυριον και ηγειρεν αυτοις κυριος σωτηρα τον αωδ υιον γηρα υιου του ιεμενι ανδρα αμφοτεροδεξιον και απεστειλαν οι υιοι ισραηλ δωρα εν χειρι αυτου τω εγλωμ βασιλει μωαβ	15 And afterward, they cried out to the Lord, who raised up for them a savior, called Ehud, the son of Gera, the son of Benjamin, who used either hand as well as the right hand. And the sons of Israel sent gifts to Eglon, the king of Moab, by him.
16 και εποιησεν εαυτω αωδ μαχαιραν διστομον σπιθαμης το μηκος και περιεζωσατο αυτην υπο τον μανδυαν επι τον μηρον τον δεξιον αυτου	16 And he made for himself a two-edged sword, having a handle, reaching to the middle, the length of the palm of a hand. And he was girded with it under his cloak, on the right thigh.
17 και προσηνεγκεν τα δωρα τω εγλωμ βασιλει μωαβ και εγλωμ ανηρ αστειος σφοδρα	17 And he offered the gifts to Eglon, the king of Moab. Now Eglon was exceedingly fat.
18 και εγενετο ως συνετελεσεν αωδ προσφερων τα δωρα και εξαπεστειλεν τους αιροντας τα δωρα	18 And when he had presented the gifts to him, he followed out his companions, who had arrived with him.
19 και εγλωμ ανεστρεψεν απο των γλυπτων μετα της γαλγαλ και ειπεν αωδ λογος μοι κρυφιος προς σε βασιλευ και ειπεν εγλωμ πασιν εκ μεσου και εξηλθον απ' αυτου παντες οι παραστηκοντες αυτω	19 And then, returning from Gilgal where the idols were, he said to the king, “I have a secret word for you, O king.” And he ordered silence. And when all those who were around him had departed,
20 και αωδ εισηλθεν προς αυτον και αυτος εκαθητο εν τω υπερωω τω θερινω αυτου μονωτατος και ειπεν αωδ λογος θεου μοι προς σε βασιλευ και εξανεστη απο του θρονου εγλωμ εγγυς αυτου	20 Ehud entered to him. Now he was sitting alone in a summer upper room. And he said, “I have a word from God to you.” And immediately he rose up from his throne.
21 και εγενετο αμα του αναστηναι εξετεινεν αωδ την χειρα την αριστεραν αυτου και ελαβεν την μαχαιραν απο του μηρου του δεξιου αυτου και ενεπηξεν αυτην εις την κοιλιαν εγλωμ	21 And Ehud extended his left hand, and he took the dagger from his right thigh. And he thrust it into his abdomen
22 και επεισηνεγκεν και γε την λαβην οπισω της φλογος και απεκλεισεν το στεαρ κατα της φλογος οτι ουκ εξεσπασεν την μαχαιραν εκ της κοιλιας αυτου	22 so strongly that the handle followed the blade into the wound, and was enclosed by the great amount of fat. Neither did he withdraw the sword. Instead, he left it in the body just as he had struck with it. And immediately, by the private parts of nature, the filth of the bowels went out.
23 και εξηλθεν αωδ εις την προσταδα και απεκλεισεν τας θυρας του υπερωου επ' αυτον και εσφηνωσεν	23 Then Ehud carefully closed the doors of the upper room. And securing the bars,
24 και αυτος εξηλθεν και οι παιδες αυτου εισηλθον και ειδον και ιδου αι θυραι του υπερωου αποκεκλεισμεναι και ειπαν μηποτε προς διφρους καθηται εν τη αποχωρησει του κοιτωνος	24 he departed by a back exit. And the servants of the king, entering, saw that the doors of the upper room were closed, and they said, “Perhaps he is emptying his bowels in the summer room.”
25 και προσεμειναν αισχυνομενοι και ιδου ουκ ην ο ανοιγων τας θυρας του υπερωου και ελαβον την κλειδα και ηνοιξαν και ιδου ο κυριος αυτων πεπτωκως επι την γην τεθνηκως	25 And after waiting a long time, until they were embarrassed, and seeing that no one opened the door, they took the key, and opening it, they found their lord lying dead on the ground.
26 και αωδ διεσωθη εως εθορυβουντο και ουκ ην ο προσνοων αυτω και αυτος παρηλθεν τα γλυπτα και διεσωθη εις σειρωθα	26 But Ehud, while they were in confusion, escaped and passed by the place of the idols, from which he had returned. And he arrived at Seirath.
27 και εγενετο ηνικα ηλθεν και εσαλπισεν κερατινη εν ορει εφραιμ και κατεβησαν συν αυτω οι υιοι ισραηλ και αυτος εμπροσθεν αυτων	27 And immediately he sounded the trumpet on Mount Ephraim. And the sons of Israel descended with him, he himself advancing at the front.
28 και ειπεν προς αυτους καταβαινετε οπισω μου οτι παρεδωκεν κυριος ο θεος τους εχθρους υμων την μωαβ εν χειρι υμων και κατεβησαν οπισω αυτου και προκατελαβοντο τας διαβασεις του ιορδανου της μωαβ και ουκ αφηκαν ανδρα διαβηναι	28 And he said to them: “Follow me. For the Lord has delivered our enemies, the Moabites, into our hands.” And they descended after him, and they occupied the fords of the Jordan, which cross over to Moab. And they did not permit anyone to cross.
29 και επαταξαν την μωαβ εν τω καιρω εκεινω ωσει δεκα χιλιαδας ανδρων παντας τους μαχητας τους εν αυτοις και παντα ανδρα δυναμεως και ου διεσωθη ανηρ	29 And so, they struck down the Moabites at that time, about ten thousand, all strong and robust men. None of them were able to escape.
30 και ενετραπη μωαβ εν τη ημερα εκεινη υπο την χειρα ισραηλ και ησυχασεν η γη ογδοηκοντα ετη και εκρινεν αυτους αωδ εως ου απεθανεν	30 And Moab was humbled in that day under the hand of Israel. And the land was quiet for eighty years.
31 και μετα τουτον ανεστη σαμεγαρ υιος αναθ και επαταξεν τους αλλοφυλους εις εξακοσιους ανδρας εκτος μοσχων των βοων και εσωσεν αυτος τον ισραηλ	31 After him, there was Shamgar, the son of Anath, who struck down six hundred men of the Philistines with a plowshare. And he also defended Israel.
