Judges 2

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	LXX
1 An angel of the LORD went up from Gilgal to Bochim and said, "It was I who brought you up from Egypt and led you into the land which I promised on oath to your fathers. I said that I would never break my covenant with you,	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
2 but that you were not to make a pact with the inhabitants of this land, and you were to pull down their altars. Yet you have not obeyed me. What did you mean by this?	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
3 For now I tell you, I will not clear them out of your way; they shall oppose you and their gods shall become a snare for you."	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
4 When the angel of the LORD had made these threats to all the Israelites, the people wept aloud;	4 και εγενετο ως ελαλησεν ο αγγελος κυριου τους λογους τουτους προς παντα ισραηλ και επηρεν ο λαος την φωνην αυτων και εκλαυσαν
5 and so that place came to be called Bochim. They offered sacrifice there to the LORD.	5 δια τουτο εκληθη το ονομα του τοπου εκεινου κλαυθμων και εθυσαν εκει τω κυριω
6 When Joshua dismissed the people, each Israelite went to take possession of his own hereditary land.	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
7 The people served the LORD during the entire lifetime of Joshua, and of those elders who outlived Joshua and who had seen all the great work which the LORD had done for Israel.	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
8 Joshua, son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, was a hundred and ten years old when he died;	8 και ετελευτησεν ιησους υιος ναυη δουλος κυριου υιος εκατον δεκα ετων
9 and they buried him within the borders of his heritage at Timnath-heres in the mountain region of Ephraim north of Mount Gaash.	9 και εθαψαν αυτον εν οριω της κληρονομιας αυτου εν θαμναθαρες εν ορει εφραιμ απο βορρα του ορους γαας
10 But once the rest of that generation were gathered to their fathers, and a later generation arose that did not know the LORD, or what he had done for Israel,	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
11 the Israelites offended the LORD by serving the Baals.	11 και εποιησαν οι υιοι ισραηλ το πονηρον εναντιον κυριου και ελατρευον τοις βααλιμ
12 Abandoning the LORD, the God of their fathers, who had led them out of the land of Egypt, they followed the other gods of the various nations around them, and by their worship of these gods provoked the LORD.	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
13 Because they had thus abandoned him and served Baal and the Ashtaroth,	13 και εγκατελιπον τον κυριον και ελατρευσαν τη βααλ και ταις ασταρταις
14 the anger of the LORD flared up against Israel, and he delivered them over to plunderers who despoiled them. He allowed them to fall into the power of their enemies round about whom they were no longer able to withstand.	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
15 Whatever they undertook, the LORD turned into disaster for them, as in his warning he had sworn he would do, till they were in great distress.	15 εν πασιν οις επορνευον και χειρ κυριου ην αυτοις εις κακα καθως ελαλησεν κυριος και καθως ωμοσεν κυριος και εξεθλιψεν αυτους σφοδρα
16 Even when the LORD raised up judges to deliver them from the power of their despoilers,	16 και ηγειρεν αυτοις κυριος κριτας και εσωσεν αυτους εκ χειρος των προνομευοντων αυτους
17 they did not listen to their judges, but abandoned themselves to the worship of other gods. They were quick to stray from the way their fathers had taken, and did not follow their example of obedience to the commandments of the LORD.	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
18 Whenever the LORD raised up judges for them, he would be with the judge and save them from the power of their enemies as long as the judge lived; it was thus the LORD took pity on their distressful cries of affliction under their oppressors.	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
19 But when the judge died, they would relapse and do worse than their fathers, following other gods in service and worship, relinquishing none of their evil practices or stubborn conduct.	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
20 In his anger toward Israel the LORD said, "Inasmuch as this nation has violated my covenant which I enjoined on their fathers, and has disobeyed me,	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
21 I for my part will not clear away for them any more of the nations which Joshua left when he died."	21 και εγω ου προσθησω του εξαραι ανδρα εκ προσωπου αυτων απο των εθνων ων κατελιπεν ιησους και αφηκεν
22 Through these nations the Israelites were to be made to prove whether or not they would keep to the way of the LORD and continue in it as their fathers had done;	22 του πειρασαι εν αυτοις τον ισραηλ ει φυλασσονται την οδον κυριου πορευεσθαι εν αυτη ον τροπον εφυλαξαντο οι πατερες αυτων η ου
23 therefore the LORD allowed them to remain instead of expelling them immediately, or delivering them into the power of Israel.	23 και αφηκεν κυριος τα εθνη ταυτα του μη εξαραι αυτα το ταχος και ου παρεδωκεν αυτα εν χειρι ιησου
