LXX	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 και εν ετει εξηκοστω και εκατοστω ανεβη αλεξανδρος ο του αντιοχου ο επιφανης και κατελαβετο πτολεμαιδα και επεδεξαντο αυτον και εβασιλευσεν εκει	1 Now in the hundred and sixtieth year Alexander the son of Antiochus, surnamed the Illustrious, came up and took Ptolemais, and they received him, and he reigned there.
2 και ηκουσεν δημητριος ο βασιλευς και συνηγαγεν δυναμεις πολλας σφοδρα και εξηλθεν εις συναντησιν αυτω εις πολεμον	2 And king Demetrius heard of it, and gathered together an exceeding great army, and went forth against him to fight.
3 και απεστειλεν δημητριος προς ιωναθαν επιστολας λογοις ειρηνικοις ωστε μεγαλυναι αυτον	3 And Demetrius sent a letter to Jonathan with peaceable words, to magnify him.
4 ειπεν γαρ προφθασωμεν του ειρηνην θειναι μετ' αυτων πριν η θειναι αυτον μετα αλεξανδρου καθ' ημων	4 For he said: Let us first make a peace with him, before he make one with Alexander against us.
5 μνησθησεται γαρ παντων των κακων ων συνετελεσαμεν προς αυτον και εις τους αδελφους αυτου και εις το εθνος	5 For he will remember all the evils that we have done against him, and against his brother, and against his nation.
6 και εδωκεν αυτω εξουσιαν συναγαγειν δυναμεις και κατασκευαζειν οπλα και ειναι αυτον συμμαχον αυτου και τα ομηρα τα εν τη ακρα ειπεν παραδουναι αυτω	6 And he gave him authority to gather together an army, and to make arms, and that he should be his confederate: and the hostages that were in the castle, he commanded to be delivered to him.
7 και ηλθεν ιωναθαν εις ιερουσαλημ και ανεγνω τας επιστολας εις τα ωτα παντος του λαου και των εκ της ακρας	7 And Jonathan came to Jerusalem, and read the letters in the hearing of all the people, and of them that were in the castle.
8 και εφοβηθησαν φοβον μεγαν οτε ηκουσαν οτι εδωκεν αυτω ο βασιλευς εξουσιαν συναγαγειν δυναμιν	8 And they were struck with great fear, because they heard that the king had given him authority to gather together an army.
9 και παρεδωκαν οι εκ της ακρας ιωναθαν τα ομηρα και απεδωκεν αυτους τοις γονευσιν αυτων	9 And the hostages were delivered to Jonathan, and he restored them to their parents.
10 και ωκησεν ιωναθαν εν ιερουσαλημ και ηρξατο οικοδομειν και καινιζειν την πολιν	10 And Jonathan dwelt in Jerusalem, and began to build, and to repair the city.
11 και ειπεν προς τους ποιουντας τα εργα οικοδομειν τα τειχη και το ορος σιων κυκλοθεν εκ λιθων τετραποδων εις οχυρωσιν και εποιησαν ουτως	11 And he ordered workmen to build the walls, and mount Sion round about with square stones for fortification: and so they did.
12 και εφυγον οι αλλογενεις οι οντες εν τοις οχυρωμασιν οις ωκοδομησεν βακχιδης	12 And the strangers that were in the strong holds, which Bacchides had built, fled away.
13 και κατελιπεν εκαστος τον τοπον αυτου και απηλθεν εις την γην αυτου	13 And every man left his place, and departed into his own country:
14 πλην εν βαιθσουροις υπελειφθησαν τινες των καταλιποντων τον νομον και τα προσταγματα ην γαρ εις φυγαδευτηριον	14 Only in Bethsura there remained some of them, that had forsaken the law, and the commandments of God: for this was a place of refuge for them.
15 και ηκουσεν αλεξανδρος ο βασιλευς τας επαγγελιας οσας απεστειλεν δημητριος τω ιωναθαν και διηγησαντο αυτω τους πολεμους και τας ανδραγαθιας ας εποιησεν αυτος και οι αδελφοι αυτου και τους κοπους ους εσχον	15 And king Alexander heard of the promises that Demetrius had made Jonathan: and they told him of the battles, and the worthy acts that he, and his brethren had done, and the labours that they had endured.
16 και ειπεν μη ευρησομεν ανδρα τοιουτον ενα και νυν ποιησομεν αυτον φιλον και συμμαχον ημων	16 And he said: Shall we find such another man? now therefore we will make him our friend and our confederate.
17 και εγραψεν επιστολας και απεστειλεν αυτω κατα τους λογους τουτους λεγων	17 So he wrote a letter, and sent it to him according to these words, saying:
18 βασιλευς αλεξανδρος τω αδελφω ιωναθαν χαιρειν	18 King Alexander to his brother Jonathan, greeting.
19 ακηκοαμεν περι σου οτι ανηρ δυνατος ισχυι και επιτηδειος ει του ειναι ημων φιλος	19 We have heard of thee, that thou art a man of great power, and fit to be our friend:
20 και νυν καθεστακαμεν σε σημερον αρχιερεα του εθνους σου και φιλον βασιλεως καλεισθαι σε και απεστειλεν αυτω πορφυραν και στεφανον χρυσουν και φρονειν τα ημων και συντηρειν φιλιας προς ημας	20 Now therefore we make thee this day high priest of thy nation, and that thou be called the king's friend, (and he sent him a purple robe, and a crown of gold,) and that thou be of one mind with us in our affairs, and keep friendship with us.
21 και ενεδυσατο ιωναθαν την αγιαν στολην τω εβδομω μηνι ετους εξηκοστου και εκατοστου εν εορτη σκηνοπηγιας και συνηγαγεν δυναμεις και κατεσκευασεν οπλα πολλα	21 Then Jonathan put on the holy vestment in the seventh month, in the year one hundred and threescore, at the feast day of the tabernacles: and he gathered together an army, and made a great number of arms.
22 και ηκουσεν δημητριος τους λογους τουτους και ελυπηθη και ειπεν	22 And Demetrius heard these words, and was exceeding sorry, and said:
23 τι τουτο εποιησαμεν οτι προεφθακεν ημας αλεξανδρος του φιλιαν καταλαβεσθαι τοις ιουδαιοις εις στηριγμα	23 What is this that we have done, that Alexander hath prevented us to gain the friendship of the Jews to strengthen himself?
24 γραψω αυτοις καγω λογους παρακλησεως και υψους και δοματων οπως ωσιν συν εμοι εις βοηθειαν	24 I also will write to them words of request, and offer dignities, and gifts: that they may be with me to aid me.
25 και απεστειλεν αυτοις κατα τους λογους τουτους βασιλευς δημητριος τω εθνει των ιουδαιων χαιρειν	25 And he wrote to them in these words: King Demetrius to the nation of the Jews, greeting.
26 επει συνετηρησατε τας προς ημας συνθηκας και ενεμεινατε τη φιλια ημων και ου προσεχωρησατε τοις εχθροις ημων ηκουσαμεν και εχαρημεν	26 Whereas you have kept covenant with us, and have continued in our friendship, and have not joined with our enemies, we have heard of it, and are glad.
27 και νυν εμμεινατε ετι του συντηρησαι προς ημας πιστιν και ανταποδωσομεν υμιν αγαθα ανθ' ων ποιειτε μεθ' ημων	27 Wherefore now continue still to keep fidelity towards us, and we will reward you with good things, for what you have done in our behalf.
28 και αφησομεν υμιν αφεματα πολλα και δωσομεν υμιν δοματα	28 And we will remit to you many charges, and will give you gifts.
29 και νυν απολυω υμας και αφιημι παντας τους ιουδαιους απο των φορων και της τιμης του αλος και απο των στεφανων	29 And now I free you, and all the Jews from tributes, and I release you from the customs of salt, and remit the crowns, and the thirds of the seed:
30 και αντι του τριτου της σπορας και αντι του ημισους του καρπου του ξυλινου του επιβαλλοντος μοι λαβειν αφιημι απο της σημερον και επεκεινα του λαβειν απο γης ιουδα και απο των τριων νομων των προστιθεμενων αυτη απο της σαμαριτιδος και γαλιλαιας απο της σημερον ημερας και εις τον απαντα χρονον	30 And the half of the fruit of trees, which is my share, I leave to you from this day forward, so that it shall not be taken of the land of Juda, and of the three cities that are added thereto out of Samaria and Galilee, from this day forth and for ever:
31 και ιερουσαλημ εστω αγια και αφειμενη και τα ορια αυτης αι δεκαται και τα τελη	31 And let Jerusalem be holy and free, with the borders thereof: and let the tenths, and tributes be for itself.
32 αφιημι και την εξουσιαν της ακρας της εν ιερουσαλημ και διδωμι τω αρχιερει οπως αν καταστηση εν αυτη ανδρας ους αν αυτος εκλεξηται του φυλασσειν αυτην	32 I yield up also the power of the castle that is in Jerusalem, and I give it to the high priest, to place therein such men as he shall choose to keep it.
33 και πασαν ψυχην ιουδαιων την αιχμαλωτισθεισαν απο γης ιουδα εις πασαν βασιλειαν μου αφιημι ελευθεραν δωρεαν και παντες αφιετωσαν τους φορους και των κτηνων αυτων	33 And every soul of the Jews that hath been carried captive from the land of Juda in all my kingdom, I set at liberty freely, that all be discharged from tributes even of their cattle.
34 και πασαι αι εορται και τα σαββατα και νουμηνιαι και ημεραι αποδεδειγμεναι και τρεις ημεραι προ εορτης και τρεις μετα εορτην εστωσαν πασαι ημεραι ατελειας και αφεσεως πασιν τοις ιουδαιοις τοις ουσιν εν τη βασιλεια μου	34 And I will that all the feasts, and the sabbaths, and the new moons, and the days appointed, and three days before the solemn day, and three days after the solemn day, be all days of immunity and freedom, for all the Jews that are in my kingdom:
35 και ουχ εξει εξουσιαν ουδεις πρασσειν και παρενοχλειν τινα αυτων περι παντος πραγματος	35 And no man shall have power to do any thing against them, or to molest any of them, in any cause.
36 και προγραφητωσαν των ιουδαιων εις τας δυναμεις του βασιλεως εις τριακοντα χιλιαδας ανδρων και δοθησεται αυτοις ξενια ως καθηκει πασαις ταις δυναμεσιν του βασιλεως	36 And let there be enrolled in the king's army to the number of thirty thousand of the Jews: and allowance shall be made them as is due to all the king's forces, and certain of them shall be appointed to be in the fortresses of the great king:
37 και κατασταθησεται εξ αυτων εν τοις οχυρωμασιν του βασιλεως τοις μεγαλοις και εκ τουτων κατασταθησονται επι χρειων της βασιλειας των ουσων εις πιστιν και οι επ' αυτων και οι αρχοντες εστωσαν εξ αυτων και πορευεσθωσαν τοις νομοις αυτων καθα και προσεταξεν ο βασιλευς εν γη ιουδα	37 And some of them shall be set over the affairs of the kingdom, that are of trust, and let the governors be taken from among themselves, and let them walk in their own laws, as the king hath commanded in the land of Juda.
38 και τους τρεις νομους τους προστεθεντας τη ιουδαια απο της χωρας σαμαρειας προστεθητω τη ιουδαια προς το λογισθηναι του γενεσθαι υφ' ενα του μη υπακουσαι αλλης εξουσιας αλλ' η του αρχιερεως	38 And the three cities that are added to Judea, out of the country of Samaria, let them be accounted with Judea: that they may be under one, and obey no other authority but that of the high priest:
39 πτολεμαιδα και την προσκυρουσαν αυτη δεδωκα δομα τοις αγιοις τοις εν ιερουσαλημ εις την καθηκουσαν δαπανην τοις αγιοις	39 Ptolemais, and the confines thereof, I give as a free gift to the holy places, that are in Jerusalem, for the necessary charges of the holy things.
40 καγω διδωμι κατ' ενιαυτον δεκα πεντε χιλιαδας σικλων αργυριου απο των λογων του βασιλεως απο των τοπων των ανηκοντων	40 And I give every year fifteen thousand sicles of silver out of the king's accounts, of what belongs to me:
41 και παν το πλεοναζον ο ουκ απεδιδοσαν απο των χρειων ως εν τοις πρωτοις ετεσιν απο του νυν δωσουσιν εις τα εργα του οικου	41 And all that is above, which they that were over the affairs the years before, had not paid, from this time they shall give it to the works of the house.
42 και επι τουτοις πεντακισχιλιους σικλους αργυριου ους ελαμβανον απο των χρειων του αγιου απο του λογου κατ' ενιαυτον και ταυτα αφιεται δια το ανηκειν αυτα τοις ιερευσιν τοις λειτουργουσιν	42 Moreover the five thousand sicles of silver which they received from the account of the holy places, every year, shall also belong to the priests that execute the ministry.
43 και οσοι εαν φυγωσιν εις το ιερον το εν ιεροσολυμοις και εν πασιν τοις οριοις αυτου οφειλων βασιλικα και παν πραγμα απολελυσθωσαν και παντα οσα εστιν αυτοις εν τη βασιλεια μου	43 And whosoever shall flee into the temple that is in Jerusalem, and in all the borders thereof, being indebted to the king for any matter, let them be set at liberty, and all that they have in my kingdom, let them have it free.
44 και του οικοδομηθηναι και επικαινισθηναι τα εργα των αγιων και η δαπανη δοθησεται εκ του λογου του βασιλεως	44 For the building also, or repairing the works of the holy places, the charges shall be given out of the king's revenues:
45 και του οικοδομηθηναι τα τειχη ιερουσαλημ και οχυρωσαι κυκλοθεν και η δαπανη δοθησεται εκ του λογου του βασιλεως και του οικοδομηθηναι τα τειχη εν τη ιουδαια	45 For the building also of the walls of Jerusalem, and the fortifying thereof round about, the charges shall be given out of the king's account, as also for the building of the walls in Judea.
46 ως δε ηκουσεν ιωναθαν και ο λαος τους λογους τουτους ουκ επιστευσαν αυτοις ουδε επεδεξαντο οτι επεμνησθησαν της κακιας της μεγαλης ης εποιησεν εν ισραηλ και εθλιψεν αυτους σφοδρα	46 Now when Jonathan, and the people heard these words, they gave no credit to them nor received them: because they remembered the great evil that he had done in Israel, for he had afflicted them exceedingly.
47 και ευδοκησαν εν αλεξανδρω οτι αυτος εγενετο αυτοις αρχηγος λογων ειρηνικων και συνεμαχουν αυτω πασας τας ημερας	47 And their inclinations were towards Alexander, because he had been the chief promoter of peace in their regard, and him they always helped.
48 και συνηγαγεν αλεξανδρος ο βασιλευς δυναμεις μεγαλας και παρενεβαλεν εξ εναντιας δημητριου	48 And king Alexander gathered together a great army, and moved his camp near to Demetrius.
49 και συνηψαν πολεμον οι δυο βασιλεις και εφυγεν η παρεμβολη δημητριου και εδιωξεν αυτον ο αλεξανδρος και ισχυσεν επ' αυτους	49 And the two kings joined battle, and the army of Demetrius fled away, and Alexander pursued after him, and pressed them close.
50 και εστερεωσεν τον πολεμον σφοδρα εως εδυ ο ηλιος και επεσεν ο δημητριος εν τη ημερα εκεινη	50 And the battle was hard fought till the sun went down: and Demetrius was slain that day.
51 και απεστειλεν αλεξανδρος προς πτολεμαιον βασιλεα αιγυπτου πρεσβεις κατα τους λογους τουτους λεγων	51 And Alexander sent ambassadors to Ptolemee king of Egypt, with words to this effect, saying:
52 επει ανεστρεψα εις την βασιλειαν μου και ενεκαθισα επι θρονου πατερων μου και εκρατησα της αρχης και συνετριψα τον δημητριον και επεκρατησα της χωρας ημων	52 Forasmuch as I am returned into my kingdom, and am set in the throne of my ancestors and have gotten the dominion, and have overthrown Demetrius, and possessed our country,
53 και συνηψα προς αυτον μαχην και συνετριβη αυτος και η παρεμβολη αυτου υφ' ημων και εκαθισαμεν επι θρονου βασιλειας αυτου	53 And have joined battle with him, and both he and his army have been destroyed by us, and we are placed in the throne of his kingdom:
54 και νυν στησωμεν προς αυτους φιλιαν και νυν δος μοι την θυγατερα σου εις γυναικα και επιγαμβρευσω σοι και δωσω σοι δοματα και αυτη αξια σου	54 Now therefore let us make friendship one with another: and give me now thy daughter to wife, and I will be thy son in law, and I will give both thee and her gifts worthy of thee.
55 και απεκριθη πτολεμαιος ο βασιλευς λεγων αγαθη ημερα εν η επεστρεψας εις γην πατερων σου και εκαθισας επι θρονου βασιλειας αυτων	55 And king Ptolemee answered, saying: Happy is the day wherein thou didst return to the land of thy fathers, and sattest in the throne of their kingdom.
56 και νυν ποιησω σοι α εγραψας αλλα απαντησον εις πτολεμαιδα οπως ιδωμεν αλληλους και επιγαμβρευσω σοι καθως ειρηκας	56 And now I will do to thee as thou hast written: but meet me at Ptolemais, that we may see one another, and I may give her to thee as thou hast said.
57 και εξηλθεν πτολεμαιος εξ αιγυπτου αυτος και κλεοπατρα η θυγατηρ αυτου και ηλθεν εις πτολεμαιδα ετους δευτερου και εξηκοστου και εκατοστου	57 So Ptolemee went out of Egypt, with Cleopatra his daughter, and he came to Ptolemais in the hundred and sixty-second year.
58 και απηντησεν αυτω αλεξανδρος ο βασιλευς και εξεδετο αυτω κλεοπατραν την θυγατερα αυτου και εποιησεν τον γαμον αυτης εν πτολεμαιδι καθως οι βασιλεις εν δοξη μεγαλη	58 And king Alexander met him, and he gave him his daughter Cleopatra: and he celebrated her marriage at Ptolemais, with great glory, after the manner of kings.
59 και εγραψεν αλεξανδρος ο βασιλευς ιωναθη ελθειν εις συναντησιν αυτω	59 And king Alexander wrote to Jonathan, that he should come and meet him.
60 και επορευθη μετα δοξης εις πτολεμαιδα και απηντησεν τοις δυσιν βασιλευσι και εδωκεν αυτοις αργυριον και χρυσιον και τοις φιλοις αυτων και δοματα πολλα και ευρεν χαριν ενωπιον αυτων	60 And he went honourably to Ptolemais, and he met there the two kings, and he gave them much silver, and gold, and presents: and he found favour in their sight.
61 και επισυνηχθησαν επ' αυτον ανδρες λοιμοι εξ ισραηλ ανδρες παρανομοι εντυχειν κατ' αυτου και ου προσεσχεν αυτοις ο βασιλευς	61 And some pestilent men of Israel, men of a wicked life, assembled themselves against him to accuse him: and the king gave no heed to them.
62 και προσεταξεν ο βασιλευς και εξεδυσαν ιωναθαν τα ιματια αυτου και ενεδυσαν αυτον πορφυραν και εποιησαν ουτως	62 And he commanded that Jonathan's garments should be taken off, and that he should be clothed with purple: and they did so. And the king made him sit by himself.
63 και εκαθισεν αυτον ο βασιλευς μετ' αυτου και ειπεν τοις αρχουσιν αυτου εξελθατε μετ' αυτου εις μεσον της πολεως και κηρυξατε του μηδενα εντυγχανειν κατ' αυτου περι μηδενος πραγματος και μηδεις αυτω παρενοχλειτω περι παντος λογου	63 And he said to his princes: Go out with him into the midst of the city, and make proclamation, that no man complain against him of any matter, and that no man trouble him for any manner of cause.
64 και εγενετο ως ειδον οι εντυγχανοντες την δοξαν αυτου καθως εκηρυξεν και περιβεβλημενον αυτον πορφυραν και εφυγον παντες	64 So when his accusers saw his glory proclaimed, and him clothed with purple, they all fled away.
65 και εδοξασεν αυτον ο βασιλευς και εγραψεν αυτον των πρωτων φιλων και εθετο αυτον στρατηγον και μεριδαρχην	65 And the king magnified him, and enrolled him amongst his chief friends, and made him governor and partaker of his dominion.
66 και επεστρεψεν ιωναθαν εις ιερουσαλημ μετ' ειρηνης και ευφροσυνης	66 And Jonathan returned into Jerusalem with peace and joy.
67 και εν ετει πεμπτω και εξηκοστω και εκατοστω ηλθεν δημητριος υιος δημητριου εκ κρητης εις την γην των πατερων αυτου	67 In the year one hundred and sixty-five Demetrius the son of Demetrius came from Crete into the land of his fathers.
68 και ηκουσεν αλεξανδρος ο βασιλευς και ελυπηθη σφοδρα και υπεστρεψεν εις αντιοχειαν	68 And king Alexander heard of it, and was much troubled, and returned to Antioch.
69 και κατεστησεν δημητριος απολλωνιον τον οντα επι κοιλης συριας και συνηγαγεν δυναμιν μεγαλην και παρενεβαλεν επι ιαμνειαν και απεστειλεν προς ιωναθαν τον αρχιερεα λεγων	69 And king Demetrius made Apollonius his general, who was governor of Celesyria: and he gathered together a great army, and came to Jamnia: and he sent to Jonathan the high priest,
70 συ μονωτατος επαιρη εφ' ημας εγω δε εγενηθην εις καταγελωτα και εις ονειδισμον δια σε και δια τι συ εξουσιαζη εφ' ημας εν τοις ορεσι	70 Saying: Thou alone standest against us, and I am laughed at, and reproached, because thou shewest thy power against us in the mountains.
71 νυν ουν ει πεποιθας επι ταις δυναμεσιν σου καταβηθι προς ημας εις το πεδιον και συγκριθωμεν εαυτοις εκει οτι μετ' εμου εστιν δυναμις των πολεων	71 Now therefore if thou trustest in thy forces, come down to us into the plain, and there let us try one another: for with me is the strength of war.
72 ερωτησον και μαθε τις ειμι και οι λοιποι οι βοηθουντες ημιν και λεγουσιν ουκ εστιν υμιν στασις ποδος κατα προσωπον ημων οτι δις ετροπωθησαν οι πατερες σου εν τη γη αυτων	72 Ask, and learn who I am, and the rest that help me, who also say that your foot cannot stand before our face, for thy fathers have twice been put to flight in their own land:
73 και νυν ου δυνηση υποστηναι την ιππον και δυναμιν τοιαυτην εν τω πεδιω οπου ουκ εστιν λιθος ουδε κοχλαξ ουδε τοπος του φυγειν	73 And now how wilt thou be able to abide the horsemen, and so great an army in the plain, where there is no stone, nor rock, nor place to flee to?
74 ως δε ηκουσεν ιωναθαν των λογων απολλωνιου εκινηθη τη διανοια και επελεξεν δεκα χιλιαδας ανδρων και εξηλθεν εξ ιερουσαλημ και συνηντησεν αυτω σιμων ο αδελφος αυτου επι βοηθειαν αυτω	74 Now when Jonathan heard the words of Apollonius, he was moved in his mind: and he chose ten thousand men, and went out of Jerusalem, and Simon his brother met him to help him.
75 και παρενεβαλεν επι ιοππην και απεκλεισαν αυτην οι εκ της πολεως οτι φρουρα απολλωνιου εν ιοππη και επολεμησαν αυτην	75 And they pitched their tents near Joppe, but they shut him out of the city: because a garrison of Apollonius was in Joppe, and he laid siege to it.
76 και φοβηθεντες ηνοιξαν οι εκ της πολεως και εκυριευσεν ιωναθαν ιοππης	76 And they that were in the city being affrighted, opened the gates to him: so Jonathan took Joppe.
77 και ηκουσεν απολλωνιος και παρενεβαλεν τρισχιλιαν ιππον και δυναμιν πολλην και επορευθη εις αζωτον ως διοδευων και αμα προηγεν εις το πεδιον δια το εχειν αυτον πληθος ιππου και πεποιθεναι επ' αυτη	77 And Apollonius heard of it, and he took three thousand horsemen, and a great army.
78 και κατεδιωξεν οπισω αυτου εις αζωτον και συνηψαν αι παρεμβολαι εις πολεμον	78 And he went to Azotus as one that was making a journey, and immediately he went forth into the plain: because he had a great number of horsemen, and he trusted in them. And Jonathan followed after him to Azotus, and they joined battle.
79 και απελιπεν απολλωνιος χιλιαν ιππον κρυπτως κατοπισθεν αυτων	79 And Apollonius left privately in the camp a thousand horsemen behind them.
80 και εγνω ιωναθαν οτι εστιν ενεδρον κατοπισθεν αυτου και εκυκλωσαν αυτου την παρεμβολην και εξετιναξαν τας σχιζας εις τον λαον εκ πρωιθεν εως δειλης	80 And Jonathan knew that there was an ambush behind him, and they surrounded his army, and cast darts at the people from morning till evening.
81 ο δε λαος ειστηκει καθως επεταξεν ιωναθαν και εκοπιασαν οι ιπποι αυτων	81 But the people stood still, as Jonathan had commanded them: and so their horses were fatigued.
82 και ειλκυσεν σιμων την δυναμιν αυτου και συνηψεν προς την φαλαγγα η γαρ ιππος εξελυθη και συνετριβησαν υπ' αυτου και εφυγον	82 Then Simon drew forth his army, and attacked the legion: for the horsemen were wearied: and they were discomfited by him, and fled.
83 και η ιππος εσκορπισθη εν τω πεδιω και εφυγον εις αζωτον και εισηλθον εις βηθδαγων το ειδωλιον αυτων του σωθηναι	83 And they that were scattered about the plain, fled into Azotus, and went into Bethdagon their idol's temple, there to save themselves.
84 και ενεπυρισεν ιωναθαν την αζωτον και τας πολεις τας κυκλω αυτης και ελαβεν τα σκυλα αυτων και το ιερον δαγων και τους συμφυγοντας εις αυτο ενεπυρισεν πυρι	84 But Jonathan set fire to Azotus, and the cities that were around it, and took the spoils of them, and the temple of Dagon: and all them that were fled into it, he burnt with fire.
85 και εγενοντο οι πεπτωκοτες μαχαιρα συν τοις εμπυρισθεισιν εις ανδρας οκτακισχιλιους	85 So they that were slain by the sword, with them that were burnt, were almost eight thousand men.
86 και απηρεν εκειθεν ιωναθαν και παρενεβαλεν επι ασκαλωνα και εξηλθον οι εκ της πολεως εις συναντησιν αυτω εν δοξη μεγαλη	86 And Jonathan removed his army from thence, and camped against Ascalon: and they went out of the city to meet him with great honour.
87 και επεστρεψεν ιωναθαν εις ιερουσαλημ συν τοις παρ' αυτου εχοντες σκυλα πολλα	87 And Jonathan returned into Jerusalem with his people, having many spoils.
88 και εγενετο ως ηκουσεν αλεξανδρος ο βασιλευς τους λογους τουτους και προσεθετο ετι δοξασαι τον ιωναθαν	88 And it came to pass: When Alexander the king heard these words, that he honoured Jonathan yet more.
89 και απεστειλεν αυτω πορπην χρυσην ως εθος εστιν διδοσθαι τοις συγγενεσιν των βασιλεων και εδωκεν αυτω την ακκαρων και παντα τα ορια αυτης εις κληροδοσιαν	89 And he sent him a buckle of gold, as the custom is, to be given to such as are of the royal blood. And he gave him Accaron and all the borders thereof in possession.
