ΚΡΙΤΑΙ - Giudici - Judges 2

LXX	NEW JERUSALEM
1 και ανεβη αγγελος κυριου απο γαλγαλ επι τον κλαυθμωνα και επι βαιθηλ και επι τον οικον ισραηλ και ειπεν προς αυτους κυριος κυριος ανεβιβασεν υμας εξ αιγυπτου και εισηγαγεν υμας εις την γην ην ωμοσεν τοις πατρασιν υμων του δουναι υμιν και ειπεν υμιν ου διασκεδασω την διαθηκην μου την μεθ' υμων εις τον αιωνα	1 The Angel of Yahweh went up from Gilgal to Bethel and said, 'I have brought you out of Egypt and ledyou into this country, which I promised on oath to your ancestors. I said, "I shal never break my covenant withyou.
2 και υμεις ου διαθησεσθε διαθηκην τοις εγκαθημενοις εις την γην ταυτην ουδε τοις θεοις αυτων ου μη προσκυνησητε αλλα τα γλυπτα αυτων συντριψετε και τα θυσιαστηρια αυτων κατασκαψετε και ουκ εισηκουσατε της φωνης μου οτε ταυτα εποιησατε	2 You for your part must make no covenant with the inhabitants of this country; you wil destroy theiraltars." But you have not listened to my voice. What is the reason for this?
3 και εγω ειπα ου προσθησω του μετοικισαι τον λαον ον ειπα του εξολεθρευσαι αυτους εκ προσωπου υμων και εσονται υμιν εις συνοχας και οι θεοι αυτων εσονται υμιν εις σκανδαλον	3 Very wel , I now say this, "I am not going to drive these nations out before you. They will become youroppressors, and their gods wil be a snare for you."
4 και εγενετο ως ελαλησεν ο αγγελος κυριου τους λογους τουτους προς παντα ισραηλ και επηρεν ο λαος την φωνην αυτων και εκλαυσαν	4 When the angel of Yahweh had spoken these words to al the Israelites, the people began to wail at thetop of their voices.
5 δια τουτο εκληθη το ονομα του τοπου εκεινου κλαυθμων και εθυσαν εκει τω κυριω	5 And they called the place Bochim, and offered sacrifices to Yahweh there.
6 και εξαπεστειλεν ιησους τον λαον και απηλθαν οι υιοι ισραηλ εκαστος εις τον οικον αυτου και εις την κληρονομιαν αυτου του κατακληρονομησαι την γην	6 Joshua having dismissed the people, the Israelites then went away, each one to his own heritage, tooccupy the country.
7 και εδουλευσεν ο λαος τω κυριω πασας τας ημερας ιησου και πασας τας ημερας των πρεσβυτερων οσοι εμακροημερευσαν μετα ιησουν οσοι εγνωσαν παν το εργον κυριου το μεγα ο εποιησεν τω ισραηλ	7 The people served Yahweh throughout the lifetime of Joshua and throughout the lifetime of those elderswho outlived Joshua and had known al the great deeds which Yahweh had done for the sake of Israel.
8 και ετελευτησεν ιησους υιος ναυη δουλος κυριου υιος εκατον δεκα ετων	8 Joshua son of Nun, servant of Yahweh, was a hundred and ten years old when he died.
9 και εθαψαν αυτον εν οριω της κληρονομιας αυτου εν θαμναθαρες εν ορει εφραιμ απο βορρα του ορους γαας	9 He was buried on the estate which he had received as his heritage at Timnath-Heres in the highlands ofEphraim, north of Mount Gaash.
10 και πασα η γενεα εκεινη προσετεθησαν προς τους πατερας αυτων και ανεστη γενεα ετερα μετ' αυτους οσοι ουκ εγνωσαν τον κυριον και το εργον ο εποιησεν τω ισραηλ	10 And when that whole generation had been gathered to its ancestors, another generation fol owed itwhich knew neither Yahweh nor the deeds which he had done for the sake of Israel.
11 και εποιησαν οι υιοι ισραηλ το πονηρον εναντιον κυριου και ελατρευον τοις βααλιμ	11 The Israelites then did what is evil in Yahweh's eyes and served the Baals.
12 και εγκατελιπον τον κυριον θεον των πατερων αυτων τον εξαγαγοντα αυτους εκ γης αιγυπτου και επορευθησαν οπισω θεων ετερων απο των θεων των λαων των περικυκλω αυτων και προσεκυνησαν αυτοις και παρωργισαν τον κυριον	12 They deserted Yahweh, God of their ancestors, who had brought them out of Egypt, and they followedother gods, from those of the surrounding peoples. They bowed down to these; they provoked Yahweh;
13 και εγκατελιπον τον κυριον και ελατρευσαν τη βααλ και ταις ασταρταις	13 they deserted Yahweh to serve Baal and Astartes.
14 και ωργισθη θυμω κυριος τω ισραηλ και παρεδωκεν αυτους εν χειρι προνομευοντων και επρονομευσαν αυτους και απεδοτο αυτους εν χειρι των εχθρων αυτων κυκλοθεν και ουκ ηδυνασθησαν αντιστηναι κατα προσωπον των εχθρων αυτων	14 Then Yahweh's anger grew hot against Israel. He handed them over to pil agers who plundered them;he delivered them to the enemies surrounding them, and they were no longer able to resist their enemies.
15 εν πασιν οις επορνευον και χειρ κυριου ην αυτοις εις κακα καθως ελαλησεν κυριος και καθως ωμοσεν κυριος και εξεθλιψεν αυτους σφοδρα	15 Whenever they mounted an expedition, Yahweh's hand was there to foil them, as Yahweh had toldthem and as Yahweh had sworn to them, so that they were in dire distress.
16 και ηγειρεν αυτοις κυριος κριτας και εσωσεν αυτους εκ χειρος των προνομευοντων αυτους	16 Yahweh then appointed them judges, who rescued them from the hands of their plunderers.
17 και γε των κριτων αυτων ουκ επηκουσαν οτι εξεπορνευσαν οπισω θεων ετερων και προσεκυνησαν αυτοις και παρωργισαν τον κυριον και εξεκλιναν ταχυ εκ της οδου ης επορευθησαν οι πατερες αυτων του εισακουειν εντολας κυριου ουκ εποιησαν ουτως	17 But even to their judges they refused to listen. They prostituted themselves to other gods and boweddown before these. Very quickly they left the path which their ancestors had trodden in obedience to the ordersof Yahweh; they did not fol ow their example.
18 και οτι ηγειρεν αυτοις κυριος κριτας και ην κυριος μετα του κριτου και εσωσεν αυτους εκ χειρος των εχθρων αυτων πασας τας ημερας του κριτου οτι παρεκληθη κυριος απο του στεναγμου αυτων απο προσωπου των πολιορκουντων αυτους και κακουντων αυτους	18 When Yahweh appointed judges for them, Yahweh was with the judge and rescued them from thehands of their enemies as long as the judge lived, since Yahweh relented at their groans under their persecutorsand oppressors.
19 και εγενετο ως απεθνησκεν ο κριτης και απεστρεψαν και παλιν διεφθειραν υπερ τους πατερας αυτων πορευθηναι οπισω θεων ετερων λατρευειν αυτοις και προσκυνειν αυτοις ουκ απερριψαν τα επιτηδευματα αυτων και ουκ απεστησαν απο της οδου αυτων της σκληρας	19 But once the judge was dead, they relapsed into even worse corruption than their ancestors. Theyfol owed other gods; they served them and bowed before them and would not give up the practices and stubbornways of their ancestors at al .
20 και ωργισθη θυμω κυριος εν τω ισραηλ και ειπεν ανθ' ων οσα εγκατελιπαν το εθνος τουτο την διαθηκην μου ην ενετειλαμην τοις πατρασιν αυτων και ουχ υπηκουσαν της φωνης μου	20 Yahweh's anger then blazed out against Israel, and he said, 'Since this people has broken thecovenant which I laid down for their ancestors, since they have not listened to my voice,
21 και εγω ου προσθησω του εξαραι ανδρα εκ προσωπου αυτων απο των εθνων ων κατελιπεν ιησους και αφηκεν	21 in future I shal not drive before them any one of those nations which Joshua left when he died,
22 του πειρασαι εν αυτοις τον ισραηλ ει φυλασσονται την οδον κυριου πορευεσθαι εν αυτη ον τροπον εφυλαξαντο οι πατερες αυτων η ου	22 in order, by means of them, to put Israel to the test, to see whether or not they would tread the paths ofYahweh as once their ancestors had trodden them.'
23 και αφηκεν κυριος τα εθνη ταυτα του μη εξαραι αυτα το ταχος και ου παρεδωκεν αυτα εν χειρι ιησου	23 Hence, Yahweh allowed these nations to remain; he did not hurry to drive them out, and did not deliverthem into the hands of Joshua.
