| 1 Και ταυτα ειναι τα εθνη, τα οποια αφηκεν ο Κυριος, δια να δοκιμαση τον Ισραηλ δι' αυτων, παντας τους μη γνωρισαντας παντας τους πολεμους της Χανααν? | 1 Now these are the nations which the LORD left, to test Israel by them, that is, all in Israel who had no experience of any war in Canaan; |
| 2 τουλαχιστον δια να μαθωσιν αι γενεαι των υιων Ισραηλ να γυμνασθωσι τον πολεμον, τουλαχιστον οσοι προτερον δεν ειχον γνωρισει αυτους? | 2 it was only that the generations of the people of Israel might know war, that he might teach war to such at least as had not known it before. |
| 3 αι πεντε σατραπειαι των Φιλισταιων και παντες οι Χαναναιοι και οι Σιδωνιοι και οι Ευαιοι οι κατοικουντες εν τω ορει του Λιβανου, απο του ορους Βααλ-ερμων εως της εισοδου Αιμαθ. | 3 These are the nations: the five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites who dwelt on Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal-hermon as far as the entrance of Hamath. |
| 4 Και ταυτα ησαν δια να δοκιμαση τον Ισραηλ δι' αυτων? δια να γνωριση εαν υπηκουον εις τας εντολας του Κυριου, τας οποιας προσεταξεν εις τους πατερας αυτων δια του Μωυσεως. | 4 They were for the testing of Israel, to know whether Israel would obey the commandments of the LORD, which he commanded their fathers by Moses. |
| 5 Και κατωκησαν οι υιοι Ισραηλ μεταξυ των Χαναναιων, των Χετταιων και των Αμορραιων και των Φερεζαιων και των Ευαιων και των Ιεβουσαιων. | 5 So the people of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; |
| 6 Και ελαβον εις εαυτους τας θυγατερας αυτων εις γυναικας, και τας εαυτων θυγατερας εδωκαν εις τους υιους αυτων, και ελατρευσαν τους θεους αυτων. | 6 and they took their daughters to themselves for wives, and their own daughters they gave to their sons; and they served their gods. |
| 7 Και επραξαν οι υιοι Ισραηλ πονηρα ενωπιον του Κυριου και ελησμονησαν Κυριον τον Θεον αυτων και ελατρευσαν τους Βααλειμ και τα αλση. | 7 And the people of Israel did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, forgetting the LORD their God, and serving the Baals and the Asheroth. |
| 8 Δια τουτο εξηφθη ο θυμος του Κυριου κατα του Ισραηλ, και επωλησεν αυτους εις την χειρα του Χουσαν-ρισαθαιμ βασιλεως της Μεσοποταμιας? και εδουλευσαν οι υιοι Ισραηλ εις τον Χουσαν-ρισαθαιμ οκτω ετη. | 8 Therefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Cushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia; and the people of Israel served Cushan-rishathaim eight years. |
| 9 Και οτε εβοησαν οι υιοι Ισραηλ προς τον Κυριον, ο Κυριος ανεστησε σωτηρα εις τους υιους Ισραηλ και εσωσεν αυτους, τον Γοθονιηλ υιον του Κενεζ, τον νεωτερον αδελφον του Χαλεβ. | 9 But when the people of Israel cried to the LORD, the LORD raised up a deliverer for the people of Israel, who delivered them, Othni-el the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother. |
| 10 Και ητο επ' αυτον το Πνευμα του Κυριου, και εκρινε τον Ισραηλ? και εξηλθεν εις μαχην, και παρεδωκεν ο Κυριος εις την χειρα αυτου τον Χουσαν-ρισαθαιμ βασιλεα της Μεσοποταμιας? και η χειρ αυτου υπερισχυσεν εναντιον του Χουσαν-ρισαθαιμ. | 10 The Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel; he went out to war, and the LORD gave Cushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed over Cushan-rishathaim. |
| 11 Και ανεπαυθη η γη τεσσαρακοντα ετη? και ετελευτησε Γοθονιηλ ο υιος του Κενεζ. | 11 So the land had rest forty years. Then Othni-el the son of Kenaz died. |
| 12 Και ηρχισαν οι υιοι Ισραηλ παλιν να πραττωσι πονηρα ενωπιον του Κυριου? και ενισχυσεν ο Κυριος τον Εγλων βασιλεα του Μωαβ κατα του Ισραηλ, διοτι επραξαν πονηρα ενωπιον του Κυριου. | 12 And the people of Israel again did what was evil in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done what was evil in the sight of the LORD. |
| 13 Και συνηθροισεν εις σεαυτον τους υιους Αμμων και Αμαληκ, ο και υπηγε και επαταξε τον Ισραηλ και εκυριευσαν την πολιν των φοινικων. | 13 He gathered to himself the Ammonites and the Amalekites, and went and defeated Israel; and they took possession of the city of palms. |
| 14 Και εδουλευσαν οι υιοι Ισραηλ εις τον Εγλων βασιλεα του Μωαβ δεκαοκτω ετη. | 14 And the people of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years. |
| 15 Και εβοησαν προς τον Κυριον οι υιοι Ισραηλ? και ανεστησεν ο Κυριος εις αυτους σωτηρα, τον Αωδ υιον του Γηρα, του Βενιαμιτου, ανδρα αριστεροχειρα. Και απεστειλαν οι υιοι Ισραηλ δια χειρος αυτου δωρα προς τον Εγλων βασιλεα του Μωαβ. | 15 But when the people of Israel cried to the LORD, the LORD raised up for them a deliverer, Ehud, the son of Gera, the Benjaminite, a left-handed man. The people of Israel sent tribute by him to Eglon the king of Moab. |
| 16 Και κατεσκευασεν εις εαυτον ο Αωδ μαχαιραν διστομον, μακραν μιαν πηχην? και περιεζωσθη αυτην υπο τον μανδυαν αυτου επι τον μηρον αυτου τον δεξιον. | 16 And Ehud made for himself a sword with two edges, a cubit in length; and he girded it on his right thigh under his clothes. |
| 17 Και προσεφερε τα δωρα προς τον ο Εγλων βασιλεα του Μωαβ? ο δε Εγλων ητο ανθρωπος παχυς σφοδρα. | 17 And he presented the tribute to Eglon king of Moab. Now Eglon was a very fat man. |
| 18 Και αφου ετελειωσε προσφερων τα δωρα και απεπεμψε τους ανθρωπους τους βασταζοντας τα δωρα, | 18 And when Ehud had finished presenting the tribute, he sent away the people that carried the tribute. |
| 19 τοτε ο αυτος υπεστρεψεν απο των γλυπτων των προς τα Γαλγαλα? και ειπε, Λογον κρυφον εχω προς σε, βασιλευ. Ο δε ειπε, Σιωπα. Και εξηλθον απ' αυτου παντες οι παρισταμενοι πλησιον αυτου. | 19 But he himself turned back at the sculptured stones near Gilgal, and said, "I have a secret message for you, O king." And he commanded, "Silence." And all his attendants went out from his presence. |
| 20 Και εισηλθε προς αυτον ο Αωδ? εκεινος δε εκαθητο εν τω υπερωω αυτου τω θερινω μονωτατος. Και ειπεν ο Αωδ, Εχω λογον παρα Θεου προς σε. Τοτε εσηκωθη απο του θρονου. | 20 And Ehud came to him, as he was sitting alone in his cool roof chamber. And Ehud said, "I have a message from God for you." And he arose from his seat. |
| 21 Και απλωσας ο Αωδ την χειρα αυτου την αριστεραν, ελαβε την μαχαιραν απο του μηρου αυτου του δεξιου και ενεπηξεν αυτην εις την κοιλιαν αυτου, | 21 And Ehud reached with his left hand, took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly; |
| 22 ωστε και η λαβη ετι εισηλθε κατοπιν του σιδηρου? και το παχος συνεκλεισεν επι τον σιδηρον, ωστε δεν ηδυνατο να συρη την μαχαιραν απο της κοιλιας αυτου? και εξηλθε κοπρος. | 22 and the hilt also went in after the blade, and the fat closed over the blade, for he did not draw the sword out of his belly; and the dirt came out. |
| 23 Τοτε εξηλθεν ο Αωδ δια της στοας και εκλεισεν οπισω αυτου τας θυρας του υπερωου, και εκλειδωσε. | 23 Then Ehud went out into the vestibule, and closed the doors of the roof chamber upon him, and locked them. |
| 24 Και αφου εκεινος εξηλθεν, ηλθον οι δουλοι του Εγλων? και οτε ειδον οτι, ιδου, αι θυραι του υπερωου ησαν κλειδωμεναι, ειπον, Βεβαιως τους ποδας αυτου σκεπαζει εν τω δωματιω τω θερινω. | 24 When he had gone, the servants came; and when they saw that the doors of the roof chamber were locked, they thought, "He is only relieving himself in the closet of the cool chamber." |
| 25 Και περιεμειναν εωσου εντραπησαν? και ιδου, δεν ηνοιγε τας θυρας του υπερωου? οθεν ελαβον το κλειδιον και ηνοιξαν? και ιδου, ο κυριος αυτων εκειτο κατα γης νεκρος. | 25 And they waited till they were utterly at a loss; but when he still did not open the doors of the roof chamber, they took the key and opened them; and there lay their lord dead on the floor. |
| 26 Ο δε Αωδ εξεφυγεν, εν οσω εκεινοι εβραδυνον? και επερασε τα γλυπτα και διεσωθη εις Σεειρωθα. | 26 Ehud escaped while they delayed, and passed beyond the sculptured stones, and escaped to Se-irah. |
| 27 Και οτε ηλθεν, εσαλπισε δια της σαλπιγγος εν τω ορει Εφραιμ, και κατεβησαν μετ' αυτου οι υιοι Ισραηλ απο του ορους και αυτος εμπροσθεν αυτων. | 27 When he arrived, he sounded the trumpet in the hill country of Ephraim; and the people of Israel went down with him from the hill country, having him at their head. |
| 28 Και ειπε προς αυτους, Ακολουθειτε μοι? διοτι ο Κυριος παρεδωκε τους εχθρους σας τους Μωαβιτας εις την χειρα σας. Και κατεβησαν οπισω αυτου και κατελαβον τας διαβασεις του Ιορδανου προς τον Μωαβ και δεν αφηκαν ανθρωπον να περαση. | 28 And he said to them, "Follow after me; for the LORD has given your enemies the Moabites into your hand." So they went down after him, and seized the fords of the Jordan against the Moabites, and allowed not a man to pass over. |
| 29 Και επαταξαν τους Μωαβιτας κατα τον καιρον εκεινον, περιπου δεκα χιλιαδας ανδρων, παντας ανδρειους και παντας δυνατους εν ισχυι? και δεν διεσωθη ουδεις. | 29 And they killed at that time about ten thousand of the Moabites, all strong, able-bodied men; not a man escaped. |
| 30 Ουτως εταπεινωθη ο Μωαβ εν τη ημερα εκεινη υπο την χειρα του Ισραηλ. Και η γη ανεπαυθη ογδοηκοντα ετη. | 30 So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest for eighty years. |
| 31 Μετα δε τουτον εσταθη ο Σαμεγαρ ο υιος του Αναθ, οστις επαταξε τους Φιλισταιους εξακοσιους ανδρας δι' ενος βουκεντρου? και εσωσε και αυτος τον Ισραηλ. | 31 After him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who killed six hundred of the Philistines with an oxgoad; and he too delivered Israel. |
