LXX	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 και ην η κιβωτος εν αγρω των αλλοφυλων επτα μηνας και εξεζεσεν η γη αυτων μυας	1 Now the ark of God was in the land of the Philistines seven months.
2 και καλουσιν αλλοφυλοι τους ιερεις και τους μαντεις και τους επαοιδους αυτων λεγοντες τι ποιησωμεν τη κιβωτω κυριου γνωρισατε ημιν εν τινι αποστελουμεν αυτην εις τον τοπον αυτης	2 And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying: What shall we do with the ark of the Lord? tell us how we are to send it back to its place? And they said:
3 και ειπαν ει εξαπεστελλετε υμεις την κιβωτον διαθηκης κυριου θεου ισραηλ μη δη εξαποστειλητε αυτην κενην αλλα αποδιδοντες αποδοτε αυτη της βασανου και τοτε ιαθησεσθε και εξιλασθησεται υμιν μη ουκ αποστη η χειρ αυτου αφ' υμων	3 If you send back the ark of the God of Israel, send it not away empty, but render unto him what you owe for sin, and then you shall be healed: and you shall know why his hand departeth not from you.
4 και λεγουσιν τι το της βασανου αποδωσομεν αυτη και ειπαν κατ' αριθμον των σατραπων των αλλοφυλων πεντε εδρας χρυσας οτι πταισμα εν υμιν και τοις αρχουσιν υμων και τω λαω	4 They answered: What is it we ought to render unto him for sin? and they answered:
5 και μυς χρυσους ομοιωμα των μυων υμων των διαφθειροντων την γην και δωσετε τω κυριω δοξαν οπως κουφιση την χειρα αυτου αφ' υμων και απο των θεων υμων και απο της γης υμων	5 According to the number of the provinces of the Philistines you shall make five golden emerods, and five golden mice: for the same plague hath been upon you all, and upon your lords. And you shall make the likeness of your emerods, and the likeness of the mice that have destroyed the land, and you shall give glory to the God of Israel: to see if he will take off his hand from you, and from your gods, and from your land.
6 και ινα τι βαρυνετε τας καρδιας υμων ως εβαρυνεν αιγυπτος και φαραω την καρδιαν αυτων ουχι οτε ενεπαιξεν αυτοις εξαπεστειλαν αυτους και απηλθον	6 Why do you harden your hearts, as Egypt and Pharao hardened their hearts? did not he, after he was struck, then let them go, and they departed?
7 και νυν λαβετε και ποιησατε αμαξαν καινην και δυο βοας πρωτοτοκουσας ανευ των τεκνων και ζευξατε τας βοας εν τη αμαξη και απαγαγετε τα τεκνα απο οπισθεν αυτων εις οικον	7 Now therefore take and make a new cart: and two kine that have calved, on which there hath come no yoke, tie to the cart, and shut up their calves at home.
8 και λημψεσθε την κιβωτον και θησετε αυτην επι την αμαξαν και τα σκευη τα χρυσα αποδωσετε αυτη της βασανου και θησετε εν θεματι βερσεχθαν εκ μερους αυτης και εξαποστελειτε αυτην και απελασατε αυτην και απελευσεται	8 And you shall take the ark of the Lord, and lay it on the cart, and the vessels of gold, which you have paid him for sin, you shall put into a little box, at the side thereof: and send it away that it may go.
9 και οψεσθε ει εις οδον οριων αυτης πορευσεται κατα βαιθσαμυς αυτος πεποιηκεν ημιν την κακιαν ταυτην την μεγαλην και εαν μη και γνωσομεθα οτι ου χειρ αυτου ηπται ημων αλλα συμπτωμα τουτο γεγονεν ημιν	9 And you shall look: and if it go up by the way of his own coasts towards Bethsames, then he hath done us this great evil: but if not, we shall know that it is not his hand hath touched us, but it hath happened by chance.
10 και εποιησαν οι αλλοφυλοι ουτως και ελαβον δυο βοας πρωτοτοκουσας και εζευξαν αυτας εν τη αμαξη και τα τεκνα αυτων απεκωλυσαν εις οικον	10 They did therefore in this manner: and taking two kine, that had suckling calves, they yoked them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home.
11 και εθεντο την κιβωτον επι την αμαξαν και το θεμα εργαβ και τους μυς τους χρυσους	11 And they laid the ark of God upon the cart, and the little box that had in it the golden mice and the likeness of the emerods.
12 και κατευθυναν αι βοες εν τη οδω εις οδον βαιθσαμυς εν τριβω ενι επορευοντο και εκοπιων και ου μεθισταντο δεξια ουδε αριστερα και οι σατραπαι των αλλοφυλων επορευοντο οπισω αυτης εως οριων βαιθσαμυς	12 And the kine took the straight way that leadeth to Bethsames, and they went along the way, lowing as they went: and turned not aside neither to the right hand nor to the left: and the lords of the Philistines followed them as far as the borders of Bethsames.
13 και οι εν βαιθσαμυς εθεριζον θερισμον πυρων εν κοιλαδι και ηραν οφθαλμους αυτων και ειδον κιβωτον κυριου και ηυφρανθησαν εις απαντησιν αυτης	13 Now the Bethsamites were reaping wheat in the valley: and lifting up their eyes they saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it.
14 και η αμαξα εισηλθεν εις αγρον ωσηε τον εν βαιθσαμυς και εστησαν εκει παρ' αυτη λιθον μεγαν και σχιζουσιν τα ξυλα της αμαξης και τας βοας ανηνεγκαν εις ολοκαυτωσιν τω κυριω	14 And the cart came into the field of Josue a Bethsamite, and stood there. And there was a great stone, and they cut in pieces the wood of the cart, and laid the kine upon it a holocaust to the Lord.
15 και οι λευιται ανηνεγκαν την κιβωτον του κυριου και το θεμα εργαβ μετ' αυτης και τα επ' αυτης σκευη τα χρυσα και εθεντο επι του λιθου του μεγαλου και οι ανδρες βαιθσαμυς ανηνεγκαν ολοκαυτωσεις και θυσιας εν τη ημερα εκεινη τω κυριω	15 And the Levites took down the ark of God, and the little box that was at the side of it, wherein were the vessels of gold, and they put them upon the great stone. The men also of Bethsames offered holocausts and sacrificed victims that day to the Lord.
16 και οι πεντε σατραπαι των αλλοφυλων εωρων και ανεστρεψαν εις ασκαλωνα τη ημερα εκεινη	16 And the five princes of the Philistines saw, and they returned to Accaron the same day.
17 και αυται αι εδραι αι χρυσαι ας απεδωκαν οι αλλοφυλοι της βασανου τω κυριω της αζωτου μιαν της γαζης μιαν της ασκαλωνος μιαν της γεθ μιαν της ακκαρων μιαν	17 And these are the golden emerods, which the Philistines returned for sin to the Lord: For Azotus one, for Gaza one, for Ascalon one, for Geth one, for Accaron one:
18 και μυς οι χρυσοι κατ' αριθμον πασων πολεων των αλλοφυλων των πεντε σατραπων εκ πολεως εστερεωμενης και εως κωμης του φερεζαιου και εως λιθου του μεγαλου ου επεθηκαν επ' αυτου την κιβωτον διαθηκης κυριου του εν αγρω ωσηε του βαιθσαμυσιτου	18 And the golden mice according to the number of the cities of the Philistines, of the five provinces, from the fenced city to the village that was without wall, and to the great Abel (the stone) whereon they set down the ark of the Lord, which was till that day in the field of Josue the Bethsamite.
19 και ουκ ησμενισαν οι υιοι ιεχονιου εν τοις ανδρασιν βαιθσαμυς οτι ειδαν κιβωτον κυριου και επαταξεν εν αυτοις εβδομηκοντα ανδρας και πεντηκοντα χιλιαδας ανδρων και επενθησεν ο λαος οτι επαταξεν κυριος εν τω λαω πληγην μεγαλην σφοδρα	19 But he slew of the men of Bethsames, because they had seen the ark of the Lord: and he slew of the people seventy men, and fifty thousand of the common people. And the people lamented, because the Lord had smitten the people with a great slaughter.
20 και ειπαν οι ανδρες οι εκ βαιθσαμυς τις δυνησεται διελθειν ενωπιον κυριου του αγιου τουτου και προς τινα αναβησεται κιβωτος κυριου αφ' ημων	20 And the men of Bethsames said: Who shall be able to stand before the Lord this holy God? and to whom shall he go up from us?
21 και αποστελλουσιν αγγελους προς τους κατοικουντας καριαθιαριμ λεγοντες απεστροφασιν αλλοφυλοι την κιβωτον κυριου καταβητε και αναγαγετε αυτην προς εαυτους	21 And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Cariathiarim, saying: The Philistines have brought back the ark of the Lord, come ye down and fetch it up to you.
