Joshua 24

DOUAI-RHEIMS	LXX
1 And Josue gathered together all the tribes of Israel in Sichem, and called for the ancients, and the princes, and the judges, and the masters: and they stood in the sight of the Lord:	1 και συνηγαγεν ιησους πασας φυλας ισραηλ εις σηλω και συνεκαλεσεν τους πρεσβυτερους αυτων και τους γραμματεις αυτων και τους δικαστας αυτων και εστησεν αυτους απεναντι του θεου
2 And he spoke thus to the people: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: Your fathers dwelt of old on the other side of the river, Thare the father of Abraham, and Nachor: and they served strange gods.	2 και ειπεν ιησους προς παντα τον λαον ταδε λεγει κυριος ο θεος ισραηλ περαν του ποταμου κατωκησαν οι πατερες υμων το απ' αρχης θαρα ο πατηρ αβρααμ και ο πατηρ ναχωρ και ελατρευσαν θεοις ετεροις
3 And I took your father Abraham from the borders of Mesopotamia: and brought him into the land of Chanaan: and I multiplied his seed,	3 και ελαβον τον πατερα υμων τον αβρααμ εκ του περαν του ποταμου και ωδηγησα αυτον εν παση τη γη και επληθυνα αυτου σπερμα και εδωκα αυτω τον ισαακ
4 And gave him Isaac: and to him again I gave Jacob and Esau. And I gave to Esau mount Seir for his possession: but Jacob and his children went down into Egypt.	4 και τω ισαακ τον ιακωβ και τον ησαυ και εδωκα τω ησαυ το ορος το σηιρ κληρονομησαι αυτω και ιακωβ και οι υιοι αυτου κατεβησαν εις αιγυπτον και εγενοντο εκει εις εθνος μεγα και πολυ και κραταιον
5 And I sent Moses and Aaron, and I struck Egypt with many signs and wonders.	5 και εκακωσαν αυτους οι αιγυπτιοι και επαταξεν κυριος την αιγυπτον εν οις εποιησεν αυτοις και μετα ταυτα εξηγαγεν υμας
6 And I brought you and your fathers out of Egypt, and you came to the sea: and the Egyptians pursued your fathers with chariots and horsemen, as far as the Red Sea.	6 εξ αιγυπτου και εισηλθατε εις την θαλασσαν την ερυθραν και κατεδιωξαν οι αιγυπτιοι οπισω των πατερων υμων εν αρμασιν και εν ιπποις εις την θαλασσαν την ερυθραν
7 And the children of Israel cried to the Lord: and he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them. Your eyes saw all that I did in Egypt, and you dwelt in the wilderness a long time:	7 και ανεβοησαμεν προς κυριον και εδωκεν νεφελην και γνοφον ανα μεσον ημων και ανα μεσον των αιγυπτιων και επηγαγεν επ' αυτους την θαλασσαν και εκαλυψεν αυτους και ειδοσαν οι οφθαλμοι υμων οσα εποιησεν κυριος εν γη αιγυπτω και ητε εν τη ερημω ημερας πλειους
8 And I brought you into the land of the Amorrhite, who dwelt beyond the Jordan. And when they fought against you, I delivered them into your hands, and you possessed their land, and slew them.	8 και ηγαγεν υμας εις γην αμορραιων των κατοικουντων περαν του ιορδανου και παρεταξαντο υμιν και παρεδωκεν αυτους κυριος εις τας χειρας υμων και κατεκληρονομησατε την γην αυτων και εξωλεθρευσατε αυτους απο προσωπου υμων
9 And Balac son of Sephor king of Moab arose and fought against Israel. And he sent and called for Balaam son of Beor, to curse you:	9 και ανεστη βαλακ ο του σεπφωρ βασιλευς μωαβ και παρεταξατο τω ισραηλ και αποστειλας εκαλεσεν τον βαλααμ αρασασθαι υμιν
10 And I would not hear him, but on the contrary I blessed you by him, and I delivered you out of his hand.	10 και ουκ ηθελησεν κυριος ο θεος σου απολεσαι σε και ευλογιαν ευλογησεν υμας και εξειλατο υμας εκ χειρων αυτων και παρεδωκεν αυτους
11 And you passed over the Jordan, and you came to Jericho. And the men of that city fought against you, the Amorrhite, and the Pherezite, and the Chanaanite, and the Hethite, and the Gergesite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite: and I delivered them into your hands.	11 και διεβητε τον ιορδανην και παρεγενηθητε εις ιεριχω και επολεμησαν προς υμας οι κατοικουντες ιεριχω ο αμορραιος και ο χαναναιος και ο φερεζαιος και ο ευαιος και ο ιεβουσαιος και ο χετταιος και ο γεργεσαιος και παρεδωκεν αυτους κυριος εις τας χειρας υμων
12 And I sent before you hornets: and I drove them out from their places, the two kings of the Amorrhites, not with thy sword nor with thy bow.	12 και εξαπεστειλεν προτεραν υμων την σφηκιαν και εξεβαλεν αυτους απο προσωπου υμων δωδεκα βασιλεις των αμορραιων ουκ εν τη ρομφαια σου ουδε εν τω τοξω σου
13 And I gave you a land, in which you had not laboured, and cities to dwell in which you built not, vineyards and oliveyards, which you planted not.	13 και εδωκεν υμιν γην εφ' ην ουκ εκοπιασατε επ' αυτης και πολεις ας ουκ ωκοδομησατε και κατωκισθητε εν αυταις και αμπελωνας και ελαιωνας ους ουκ εφυτευσατε υμεις εδεσθε
14 Now therefore fear the Lord, and serve him with a perfect and most sincere heart: and put away the gods which your fathers served in Mesopotamia and in Egypt, and serve the Lord.	14 και νυν φοβηθητε κυριον και λατρευσατε αυτω εν ευθυτητι και εν δικαιοσυνη και περιελεσθε τους θεους τους αλλοτριους οις ελατρευσαν οι πατερες υμων εν τω περαν του ποταμου και εν αιγυπτω και λατρευετε κυριω
15 But if it seem evil to you to serve the Lord, you have your choice: choose this day that which pleaseth you, whom you would rather serve, whether the gods which your fathers served in Mesopotamia, or the gods of the Amorrhites, in whose land you dwell: but as for me and my house we will serve the Lord.	15 ει δε μη αρεσκει υμιν λατρευειν κυριω ελεσθε υμιν εαυτοις σημερον τινι λατρευσητε ειτε τοις θεοις των πατερων υμων τοις εν τω περαν του ποταμου ειτε τοις θεοις των αμορραιων εν οις υμεις κατοικειτε επι της γης αυτων εγω δε και η οικια μου λατρευσομεν κυριω οτι αγιος εστιν
16 And the people answered, and said: God forbid we should leave the Lord, and serve strange gods.	16 και αποκριθεις ο λαος ειπεν μη γενοιτο ημιν καταλιπειν κυριον ωστε λατρευειν θεοις ετεροις
17 The Lord our God he brought us and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage: and did very great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way by which we journeyed, and among all the people through whom we passed.	17 κυριος ο θεος ημων αυτος θεος εστιν αυτος ανηγαγεν ημας και τους πατερας ημων εξ αιγυπτου και διεφυλαξεν ημας εν παση τη οδω η επορευθημεν εν αυτη και εν πασιν τοις εθνεσιν ους παρηλθομεν δι' αυτων
18 And he hath cast out all the nations, the Amorrhite the inhabitant of the land into which we are come. Therefore we will serve the Lord, for he is our God.	18 και εξεβαλεν κυριος τον αμορραιον και παντα τα εθνη τα κατοικουντα την γην απο προσωπου ημων αλλα και ημεις λατρευσομεν κυριω ουτος γαρ θεος ημων εστιν
19 And Josue said to the people: You will not be able to serve the Lord: for he is a holy God, and mighty and jealous, and will not forgive your wickedness and sins.	19 και ειπεν ιησους προς τον λαον ου μη δυνησθε λατρευειν κυριω οτι θεος αγιος εστιν και ζηλωσας ουτος ουκ ανησει υμων τα αμαρτηματα και τα ανομηματα υμων
20 If you leave the Lord, and serve strange gods, he will turn, and will afflict you, and will destroy you after all the good he hath done you.	20 ηνικα εαν εγκαταλιπητε κυριον και λατρευσητε θεοις ετεροις και επελθων κακωσει υμας και εξαναλωσει υμας ανθ' ων ευ εποιησεν υμας
21 And the people said to Josue: No, it shall not be so as thou sayest, but we will serve the Lord.	21 και ειπεν ο λαος προς ιησουν ουχι αλλα κυριω λατρευσομεν
22 And Josue said to the people: You are witnesses, that you yourselves have chosen you the Lord to serve him. And they answered: We are witnesses.	22 και ειπεν ιησους προς τον λαον μαρτυρες υμεις καθ' υμων οτι υμεις εξελεξασθε κυριον λατρευειν αυτω
23 Now therefore, said he, put away strange gods from among you, and incline your hearts to the Lord the God of Israel.	23 και νυν περιελεσθε τους θεους τους αλλοτριους τους εν υμιν και ευθυνατε την καρδιαν υμων προς κυριον θεον ισραηλ
24 And the people said to Josue: We will serve the Lord our God, and we will be obedient to his commandments.	24 και ειπεν ο λαος προς ιησουν κυριω λατρευσομεν και της φωνης αυτου ακουσομεθα
25 Josue therefore on that day made a covenant, and set before the people commandments and judgments in Sichem.	25 και διεθετο ιησους διαθηκην προς τον λαον εν τη ημερα εκεινη και εδωκεν αυτω νομον και κρισιν εν σηλω ενωπιον της σκηνης του θεου ισραηλ
26 And he wrote all these things in the volume of the law of the Lord: and he took a great stone, and set it under the oak that was in the sanctuary of the Lord.	26 και εγραψεν τα ρηματα ταυτα εις βιβλιον νομον του θεου και ελαβεν λιθον μεγαν και εστησεν αυτον ιησους υπο την τερεμινθον απεναντι κυριου
27 And he said to all the people: Behold this stone shall be a testimony unto you, that it hath heard all the words of the Lord, which he hath spoken to you: lest perhaps hereafter you will deny it, and lie to the Lord your God.	27 και ειπεν ιησους προς τον λαον ιδου ο λιθος ουτος εσται εν υμιν εις μαρτυριον οτι αυτος ακηκοεν παντα τα λεχθεντα αυτω υπο κυριου ο τι ελαλησεν προς ημας σημερον και εσται ουτος εν υμιν εις μαρτυριον επ' εσχατων των ημερων ηνικα εαν ψευσησθε κυριω τω θεω μου
28 And he sent the people away every one to their own possession.	28 και απεστειλεν ιησους τον λαον και επορευθησαν εκαστος εις τον τοπον αυτου
29 And after these things Josue the son of Null the servant of the Lord died, being a hundred and ten years old:	29 και ελατρευσεν ισραηλ τω κυριω πασας τας ημερας ιησου και πασας τας ημερας των πρεσβυτερων οσοι εφειλκυσαν τον χρονον μετα ιησου και οσοι ειδοσαν παντα τα εργα κυριου οσα εποιησεν τω ισραηλ
30 And they buried him in the border of his possession in Thamnathsare, which is situate in mount Ephraim, on the north side of mount Gaas.	30 και εγενετο μετ' εκεινα και απεθανεν ιησους υιος ναυη δουλος κυριου εκατον δεκα ετων
31 ,31And Israel served the Lord all the days of Josue, and of the ancients that lived a long time after Josue, and that had known all the works of the Lord which he had done in Israel.	31 και εθαψαν αυτον προς τοις οριοις του κληρου αυτου εν θαμναθασαχαρα εν τω ορει τω εφραιμ απο βορρα του ορους γαας [31α] εκει εθηκαν μετ' αυτου εις το μνημα εις ο εθαψαν αυτον εκει τας μαχαιρας τας πετρινας εν αις περιετεμεν τους υιους ισραηλ εν γαλγαλοις οτε εξηγαγεν αυτους εξ αιγυπτου καθα συνεταξεν αυτοις κυριος και εκει εισιν εως της σημερον ημερας
32 And the bones of Joseph which the children of Israel had taken out of Egypt, they buried in Sichem, in that part of the field which Jacob had bought of the sons of Hemor the father of Sichem, for a hundred young ewes, and it was in the possession of the sons of Joseph.	32 και τα οστα ιωσηφ ανηγαγον οι υιοι ισραηλ εξ αιγυπτου και κατωρυξαν εν σικιμοις εν τη μεριδι του αγρου ου εκτησατο ιακωβ παρα των αμορραιων των κατοικουντων εν σικιμοις αμναδων εκατον και εδωκεν αυτην ιωσηφ εν μεριδι
33 Eleazar also the son of Aaron died: and they buried him in Gabaath that belongeth to Phinees his son, which was given him in mount Ephraim.	33 και εγενετο μετα ταυτα και ελεαζαρ υιος ααρων ο αρχιερευς ετελευτησεν και εταφη εν γαβααθ φινεες του υιου αυτου ην εδωκεν αυτω εν τω ορει τω εφραιμ [33α] εν εκεινη τη ημερα λαβοντες οι υιοι ισραηλ την κιβωτον του θεου περιεφεροσαν εν εαυτοις και φινεες ιερατευσεν αντι ελεαζαρ του πατρος αυτου εως απεθανεν και κατωρυγη εν γαβααθ τη εαυτου [33β] οι δε υιοι ισραηλ απηλθοσαν εκαστος εις τον τοπον αυτων και εις την εαυτων πολιν και εσεβοντο οι υιοι ισραηλ την ασταρτην και ασταρωθ και τους θεους των εθνων των κυκλω αυτων και παρεδωκεν αυτους κυριος εις χειρας εγλωμ τω βασιλει μωαβ και εκυριευσεν αυτων ετη δεκα οκτω .
