Judges 3

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	LXX
1 The following are the nations which the LORD allowed to remain, so that through them he might try all those Israelites who had no experience of the battles with Canaan	1 και ταυτα τα εθνη αφηκεν ιησους ωστε πειρασαι εν αυτοις τον ισραηλ παντας τους μη εγνωκοτας παντας τους πολεμους χανααν
2 training them in battle, those generations only of the Israelites who would not have had that previous experience):	2 πλην δια τας γενεας των υιων ισραηλ του διδαξαι αυτους πολεμον πλην οι εμπροσθεν αυτων ουκ εγνωσαν αυτα
3 the five lords of the Philistines; and all the Canaanites, the Sidonians, and the Hivites who dwell in the mountain region of Lebanon between Baal-hermon and the entrance to Hamath.	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
4 These served to put Israel to the test, to determine whether they would obey the commandments the LORD had enjoined on their fathers through Moses.	4 και εγενετο ωστε πειρασαι εν αυτοις τον ισραηλ γνωναι ει ακουσονται τας εντολας κυριου ας ενετειλατο τοις πατρασιν αυτων εν χειρι μωυση
5 Besides, the Israelites were living among the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites.	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
6 In fact, they took their daughters in marriage, and gave their own daughters to their sons in marriage, and served their gods.	6 και ελαβον τας θυγατερας αυτων εαυτοις εις γυναικας και τας θυγατερας αυτων εδωκαν τοις υιοις αυτων και ελατρευσαν τοις θεοις αυτων
7 Because the Israelites had offended the LORD by forgetting the LORD, their God, and serving the Baals and the Asherahs,	7 και εποιησαν οι υιοι ισραηλ το πονηρον εναντι κυριου και επελαθοντο κυριου θεου αυτων και ελατρευσαν ταις βααλιμ και τοις αλσεσιν
8 the anger of the LORD flared up against them, and he allowed them to fall into the power of Cushan-rishathaim, king of Aram Naharaim, whom they served for eight years.	8 και ωργισθη θυμω κυριος εν τω ισραηλ και απεδοτο αυτους εις χειρας χουσαρσαθωμ βασιλεως συριας ποταμων και εδουλευσαν αυτω οκτω ετη
9 But when the Israelites cried out to the LORD, he raised up for them a savior, Othniel, son of Caleb's younger brother Kenaz, who rescued them.	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
10 The spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel. When he went out to war, the LORD delivered Cushan-risha-thaim, king of Aram, into his power, so that he made him subject.	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
11 The land then was at rest for forty years, until Othniel, son of Kenaz, died.	11 και ησυχασεν η γη ετη πεντηκοντα και απεθανεν γοθονιηλ υιος κενεζ
12 Again the Israelites offended the LORD, who because of this offense strengthened Eglon, king of Moab, against Israel.	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
13 In alliance with the Ammonites and Amalekites, he attacked and defeated Israel, taking possession of the city of palms.	13 και προσηγαγεν προς αυτον παντας τους υιους αμμων και αμαληκ και επορευθη και επαταξεν τον ισραηλ και εκληρονομησεν την πολιν των φοινικων
14 The Israelites then served Eglon, king of Moab, for eighteen years.	14 και εδουλευσαν οι υιοι ισραηλ τω εγλωμ βασιλει μωαβ ετη δεκα οκτω
15 But when the Israelites cried out to the LORD, he raised up for them a savior, the Benjaminite Ehud, son of Gera, who was left-handed. It was by him that the Israelites sent their tribute to Eglon, king of Moab.	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
16 Ehud made himself a two-edged dagger a foot long, and wore it under his clothes over his right thigh.	16 και εποιησεν εαυτω αωδ μαχαιραν διστομον σπιθαμης το μηκος και περιεζωσατο αυτην υπο τον μανδυαν επι τον μηρον τον δεξιον αυτου
17 He presented the tribute to Eglon, king of Moab, who was very fat,	17 και προσηνεγκεν τα δωρα τω εγλωμ βασιλει μωαβ και εγλωμ ανηρ αστειος σφοδρα
18 and after the presentation went off with the tribute bearers.	18 και εγενετο ως συνετελεσεν αωδ προσφερων τα δωρα και εξαπεστειλεν τους αιροντας τα δωρα
19 He returned, however, from where the idols are, near Gilgal, and said, "I have a private message for you, O king." And the king said, "Silence!" Then when all his attendants had left his presence,	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
20 and Ehud went in to him where he sat alone in his cool upper room, Ehud said, "I have a message from God for you." So the king rose from his chair,	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
21 and then Ehud with his left hand drew the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into Eglon's belly.	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
22 The hilt also went in after the blade, and the fat closed over the blade because he did not withdraw the dagger from his body.	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
23 Then Ehud went out into the hall, shutting the doors of the upper room on him and locking them.	23 και εξηλθεν αωδ εις την προσταδα και απεκλεισεν τας θυρας του υπερωου επ' αυτον και εσφηνωσεν
24 When Ehud had left and the servants came, they saw that the doors of the upper room were locked, and thought, "He must be easing himself in the cool chamber."	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
25 They waited until they finally grew suspicious. Since he did not open the doors of the upper room, they took the key and opened them. There on the floor, dead, lay their lord!	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
26 During their delay Ehud made good his escape and, passing the idols, took refuge in Seirah.	26 και αωδ διεσωθη εως εθορυβουντο και ουκ ην ο προσνοων αυτω και αυτος παρηλθεν τα γλυπτα και διεσωθη εις σειρωθα
27 On his arrival he sounded the horn in the mountain region of Ephraim, and the Israelites went down from the mountains with him as their leader.	27 και εγενετο ηνικα ηλθεν και εσαλπισεν κερατινη εν ορει εφραιμ και κατεβησαν συν αυτω οι υιοι ισραηλ και αυτος εμπροσθεν αυτων
28 "Follow me," he said to them, "for the LORD has delivered your enemies the Moabites into your power." So they followed him down and seized the fords of the Jordan leading to Moab, permitting no one to cross.	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
29 On that occasion they slew about ten thousand Moabites, all of them strong and valiant men. Not a man escaped.	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
30 Thus was Moab brought under the power of Israel at that time; and the land had rest for eighty years.	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
31 After him there was Shamgar, son of Anath, who slew six hundred Philistines with an oxgoad. He, too, rescued Israel.	31 και μετα τουτον ανεστη σαμεγαρ υιος αναθ και επαταξεν τους αλλοφυλους εις εξακοσιους ανδρας εκτος μοσχων των βοων και εσωσεν αυτος τον ισραηλ
