Judges 8

KING JAMES BIBLELXX
1 And the men of Ephraim said unto him, Why hast thou served us thus, that thou calledst us not, when thou wentest to fight with the Midianites? And they did chide with him sharply.1 και ειπεν προς αυτον ανηρ εφραιμ τι το ρημα τουτο εποιησας ημιν του μη καλεσαι ημας οτε εξεπορευου πολεμησαι εν τη μαδιαμ και εκρινοντο μετ' αυτου κραταιως
2 And he said unto them, What have I done now in comparison of you? Is not the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abi-ezer?2 και ειπεν προς αυτους τι εποιησα νυν καθως υμεις ουχι κρειττω επιφυλλιδες εφραιμ η τρυγητος αβιεζερ
3 God hath delivered into your hands the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb: and what was I able to do in comparison of you? Then their anger was abated toward him, when he had said that.3 εν χειρι υμων παρεδωκεν κυριος τους αρχοντας μαδιαμ τον ωρηβ και τον ζηβ και τι ηδυνασθην ποιησαι καθως υμεις και κατεπαυσαν τοτε ανηκε το πνευμα αυτων απ' αυτου εν τω λαλησαι αυτον τον λογον τουτον
4 And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them.4 και ηλθεν γεδεων επι τον ιορδανην και διεβη αυτος και οι τριακοσιοι ανδρες μετ' αυτου ολιγοψυχουντες και πεινωντες
5 And he said unto the men of Succoth, Give, I pray you, loaves of bread unto the people that follow me; for they be faint, and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian.5 και ειπεν τοις ανδρασιν σοκχωθ δοτε δη αρτους τω λαω τω μετ' εμου οτι πεινωσιν εγω δε διωκω οπισω ζεβεε και σαλμανα βασιλεων μαδιαμ
6 And the princes of Succoth said, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thine hand, that we should give bread unto thine army?6 και ειπαν οι αρχοντες σοκχωθ μη χειρ ζεβεε και σαλμανα νυν εν τη χειρι σου οτι δωσομεν τη στρατια σου αρτους
7 And Gideon said, Therefore when the LORD hath delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into mine hand, then I will tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers.7 και ειπεν γεδεων ουχ ουτως εν τω δουναι κυριον τον ζεβεε και σαλμανα εν τη χειρι μου και καταξανω τας σαρκας υμων εν ταις ακανθαις της ερημου και εν ταις βαρκοννιμ
8 And he went up thence to Penuel, and spake unto them likewise: and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered him.8 και ανεβη εκειθεν εις φανουηλ και ελαλησεν προς αυτους κατα ταυτα και απεκριθησαν αυτω οι ανδρες φανουηλ ον τροπον απεκριθησαν αυτω οι ανδρες σοκχωθ
9 And he spake also unto the men of Penuel, saying, When I come again in peace, I will break down this tower.9 και ειπεν τοις ανδρασιν φανουηλ λεγων εν τω επιστρεφειν με μετ' ειρηνης κατασκαψω τον πυργον τουτον
10 Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor, and their hosts with them, about fifteen thousand men, all that were left of all the hosts of the children of the east: for there fell an hundred and twenty thousand men that drew sword.10 και ζεβεε και σαλμανα εν καρκαρ και η παρεμβολη αυτων μετ' αυτων ωσει πεντεκαιδεκα χιλιαδες οι καταλειφθεντες εν παση παρεμβολη υιων ανατολων και οι πεπτωκοτες ησαν εκατον και εικοσι χιλιαδες ανδρων εσπασμενων ρομφαιαν
11 And Gideon went up by the way of them that dwelt in tents on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and smote the host: for the host was secure.11 και ανεβη γεδεων οδον κατοικουντων εν σκηναις ανατολων της ναβεθ εξ εναντιας ζεβεε και επαταξεν την παρεμβολην η δε παρεμβολη ην πεποιθυια
12 And when Zebah and Zalmunna fled, he pursued after them, and took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and discomfited all the host.12 και εφυγεν ζεβεε και σαλμανα και εδιωξεν οπισω αυτων και εκρατησεν τους δυο βασιλεις μαδιαμ τον ζεβεε και τον σαλμανα και πασαν την παρεμβολην αυτων εξετριψεν
13 And Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle before the sun was up,13 και ανεστρεψεν γεδεων υιος ιωας εκ του πολεμου απο αναβασεως αρες
14 And caught a young man of the men of Succoth, and inquired of him: and he described unto him the princes of Succoth, and the elders thereof, even threescore and seventeen men.14 και συνελαβον παιδαριον εκ των ανδρων σοκχωθ και επηρωτησεν αυτον και απεγραψατο προς αυτους τους αρχοντας σοκχωθ και τους πρεσβυτερους αυτης εβδομηκοντα επτα ανδρας
15 And he came unto the men of Succoth, and said, Behold Zebah and Zalmunna, with whom ye did upbraid me, saying, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thine hand, that we should give bread unto thy men that are weary?15 και παρεγενετο γεδεων προς τους αρχοντας σοκχωθ και ειπεν αυτοις ιδου ζεβεε και σαλμανα δι' ους ωνειδισατε με λεγοντες μη χειρ ζεβεε και σαλμανα νυν εν τη χειρι σου οτι δωσομεν τοις ανδρασιν σου τοις εκλελυμενοις αρτους
16 And he took the elders of the city, and thorns of the wilderness and briers, and with them he taught the men of Succoth.16 και ελαβεν τους αρχοντας και τους πρεσβυτερους της πολεως και κατεξανεν αυτους εν ταις ακανθαις της ερημου και ταις βαρακηνιμ και κατεξανεν εν αυτοις ανδρας σοκχωθ
17 And he beat down the tower of Penuel, and slew the men of the city.17 και τον πυργον φανουηλ κατεσκαψεν και απεκτεινεν τους ανδρας της πολεως
18 Then said he unto Zebah and Zalmunna, What manner of men were they whom ye slew at Tabor? And they answered, As thou art, so were they; each one resembled the children of a king.18 και ειπεν προς ζεβεε και σαλμανα που οι ανδρες ους απεκτεινατε εν θαβωρ και ειπαν ωσει συ ομοιος σοι ομοιος αυτων ως ειδος μορφη υιων βασιλεων
19 And he said, They were my brethren, even the sons of my mother: as the LORD liveth, if ye had saved them alive, I would not slay you.19 και ειπεν γεδεων αδελφοι μου και υιοι της μητρος μου εισιν και ωμοσεν αυτοις ζη κυριος ει εζωογονησατε αυτους ουκ αν απεκτεινα υμας
20 And he said unto Jether his firstborn, Up, and slay them. But the youth drew not his sword: for he feared, because he was yet a youth.20 και ειπεν τω ιεθερ τω πρωτοτοκω αυτου αναστας αποκτεινον αυτους και ουκ εσπασεν το παιδαριον αυτου την μαχαιραν αυτου οτι εφοβηθη οτι ην νεωτερος
21 Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, Rise thou, and fall upon us: for as the man is, so is his strength. And Gideon arose, and slew Zebah and Zalmunna, and took away the ornaments that were on their camels' necks.21 και ειπεν ζεβεε και σαλμανα αναστα δη συ και απαντησον ημιν οτι ως ανηρ η δυναμις αυτου και ανεστη γεδεων και ανειλεν τον ζεβεε και τον σαλμανα και ελαβεν τους μηνισκους τους εν τοις τραχηλοις των καμηλων αυτων
22 Then the men of Israel said unto Gideon, Rule thou over us, both thou, and thy son, and thy son's son also: for thou hast delivered us from the hand of Midian.22 και ειπεν ανηρ ισραηλ προς γεδεων αρχε εν ημιν συ και οι υιοι σου οτι σεσωκας ημας εκ χειρος μαδιαμ
23 And Gideon said unto them, I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you: the LORD shall rule over you.23 και ειπεν προς αυτους γεδεων ουκ αρξω εγω υμων και ουκ αρξει ο υιος μου υμων κυριος αρξει υμων
24 And Gideon said unto them, I would desire a request of you, that ye would give me every man the earrings of his prey. (For they had golden earrings, because they were Ishmaelites.)24 και ειπεν προς αυτους γεδεων αιτησομαι παρ' υμων αιτησιν και δοτε μοι ανηρ ενωτιον των σκυλων αυτου οτι ενωτια χρυσα πολλα ην αυτοις οτι ισμαηλιται ησαν
25 And they answered, We will willingly give them. And they spread a garment, and did cast therein every man the earrings of his prey.25 και ειπαν διδοντες δωσομεν και ανεπτυξεν το ιματιον αυτου και ερριψεν εκει ανηρ ενωτιον χρυσουν των σκυλων αυτου
26 And the weight of the golden earrings that he requested was a thousand and seven hundred shekels of gold; beside ornaments, and collars, and purple raiment that was on the kings of Midian, and beside the chains that were about their camels' necks.26 και εγενηθη ο σταθμος των ενωτιων των χρυσων ων ητησατο σικλοι χιλιοι και επτακοσιοι χρυσου πλην των σιρωνων και των ορμισκων ενφωθ και των περιβολαιων των πορφυρων των επι τοις βασιλευσιν μαδιαμ και πλην των κλοιων των χρυσων των εν τοις τραχηλοις των καμηλων αυτων
27 And Gideon made an ephod thereof, and put it in his city, even in Ophrah: and all Israel went thither a whoring after it: which thing became a snare unto Gideon, and to his house.27 και εποιησεν αυτο γεδεων εις εφουδ και εστησεν αυτο εν πολει αυτου εν εφραθα και εξεπορνευσεν πας ισραηλ οπισω αυτου εκει και εγενετο τω γεδεων και τω οικω αυτου εις σκανδαλον
28 Thus was Midian subdued before the children of Israel, so that they lifted up their heads no more. And the country was in quietness forty years in the days of Gideon.28 και ενετραπη μαδιαμ ενωπιον υιων ισραηλ και ου προσεθεντο αραι κεφαλην αυτων και ησυχασεν η γη ετη τεσσαρακοντα εν ημεραις γεδεων
29 And Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and dwelt in his own house.29 και επορευθη ιεροβααλ υιος ιωας και κατωκησεν εν τω οικω αυτου
30 And Gideon had threescore and ten sons of his body begotten: for he had many wives.30 και τω γεδεων ησαν εβδομηκοντα υιοι εκπορευομενοι εκ μηρων αυτου οτι γυναικες πολλαι ησαν αυτω
31 And his concubine that was in Shechem, she also bare him a son, whose name he called Abimelech.31 και η παλλακη αυτου η εν σικιμοις ετεκεν αυτω και γε αυτη υιον και επεθηκεν το ονομα αυτου αβιμελεχ
32 And Gideon the son of Joash died in a good old age, and was buried in the sepulchre of Joash his father, in Ophrah of the Abi-ezrites.32 και απεθανεν γεδεων υιος ιωας εν πολια αγαθη και εταφη εν τω ταφω ιωας του πατρος αυτου εν εφραθα πατρος αβιεζρι
33 And it came to pass, as soon as Gideon was dead, that the children of Israel turned again, and went a whoring after Baalim, and made Baal-berith their god.33 και εγενηθη ως απεθανεν γεδεων και απεστραφησαν οι υιοι ισραηλ και εξεπορνευσαν οπισω των βααλιμ και εθεντο αυτοις τον βααλβεριθ εις διαθηκην του ειναι αυτοις αυτον εις θεον
34 And the children of Israel remembered not the LORD their God, who had delivered them out of the hands of all their enemies on every side:34 και ουκ εμνησθησαν οι υιοι ισραηλ κυριου του θεου αυτων του ρυσαμενου αυτους εκ χειρος παντων των εχθρων αυτων κυκλοθεν
35 Neither shewed they kindness to the house of Jerubbaal, namely, Gideon, according to all the goodness which he had shewed unto Israel.35 και ουκ εποιησαν ελεος μετα του οικου ιεροβααλ γεδεων κατα πασαν την αγαθωσυνην ην εποιησεν μετα ισραηλ
