LXX	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 και ταυτα τα εθνη αφηκεν ιησους ωστε πειρασαι εν αυτοις τον ισραηλ παντας τους μη εγνωκοτας παντας τους πολεμους χανααν	1 These are the nations which the Lord left, that by them he might instruct Israel, and all that had not known the wars of the Chanaanites:
2 πλην δια τας γενεας των υιων ισραηλ του διδαξαι αυτους πολεμον πλην οι εμπροσθεν αυτων ουκ εγνωσαν αυτα	2 That afterwards their children might learn to fight with their enemies, and to be trained up to war:
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	3 The five princes of the Philistines, and all the Chanaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hevites that dwelt in mount Libanus, from mount Baal Hermon to the entering into Emath.
4 και εγενετο ωστε πειρασαι εν αυτοις τον ισραηλ γνωναι ει ακουσονται τας εντολας κυριου ας ενετειλατο τοις πατρασιν αυτων εν χειρι μωυση	4 And he left them, that he might try Israel by them, whether they would hear the commandments of the Lord, which he had commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses, or not.
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	5 So the children of Israel dwelt in the midst of the Chanaanite, and the Hethite, and the Amorrhite, and the Pherezite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite:
6 και ελαβον τας θυγατερας αυτων εαυτοις εις γυναικας και τας θυγατερας αυτων εδωκαν τοις υιοις αυτων και ελατρευσαν τοις θεοις αυτων	6 And they took their daughters to wives, and they gave their own daughters to their sons, and they served their gods.
7 και εποιησαν οι υιοι ισραηλ το πονηρον εναντι κυριου και επελαθοντο κυριου θεου αυτων και ελατρευσαν ταις βααλιμ και τοις αλσεσιν	7 And they did evil in the sight of the Lord, and they forgot their God, and served Baalim and Astaroth.
8 και ωργισθη θυμω κυριος εν τω ισραηλ και απεδοτο αυτους εις χειρας χουσαρσαθωμ βασιλεως συριας ποταμων και εδουλευσαν αυτω οκτω ετη	8 And the Lord being angry with Israel, delivered them into the hands of Chusan Rasathaim king of Mesopotamia, and they served him eight years.
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	9 And they cried to the Lord, who raised them up a saviour, and delivered them, to wit, Othoniel the son of Cenez, the younger brother of Caleb:
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	10 And the spirit of the Lord was in him, and he judged Israel. And he went out to fight, and the Lord delivered into his hands Chusan Rasathaim king of Syria, and he overthrew him.
11 και ησυχασεν η γη ετη πεντηκοντα και απεθανεν γοθονιηλ υιος κενεζ	11 And the land rested forty years, and Othoniel the son of Cenez died.
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	12 And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord: who strengthened against them Eglon king of Moab: because they did evil in his sight.
13 και προσηγαγεν προς αυτον παντας τους υιους αμμων και αμαληκ και επορευθη και επαταξεν τον ισραηλ και εκληρονομησεν την πολιν των φοινικων	13 And he joined to him the children of Ammon, and Amalec: and he went and overthrew Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees.
14 και εδουλευσαν οι υιοι ισραηλ τω εγλωμ βασιλει μωαβ ετη δεκα οκτω	14 And the children of Israel served Eglon king of Moab eighteen years:
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	15 And afterwards they cried to the Lord, who raised them up a saviour called Aod, the son of Gera, the son of Jemini, who used the left hand as well as the right. And the children of Israel sent presents to Eglon king of Moab by him.
16 και εποιησεν εαυτω αωδ μαχαιραν διστομον σπιθαμης το μηκος και περιεζωσατο αυτην υπο τον μανδυαν επι τον μηρον τον δεξιον αυτου	16 And he made himself a two-edged sword, with a haft in the midst of the length of the palm of the hand, and was girded therewith under his garment on the right thigh.
17 και προσηνεγκεν τα δωρα τω εγλωμ βασιλει μωαβ και εγλωμ ανηρ αστειος σφοδρα	17 And he presented the gifts to Eglon king of Moab. Now Eglon was exceeding fat.
18 και εγενετο ως συνετελεσεν αωδ προσφερων τα δωρα και εξαπεστειλεν τους αιροντας τα δωρα	18 And when he had presented the gifts unto him, he followed his companions that came along with him.
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	19 Then returning from Galgal, where the idols were, be said to the king: I have a secret message to thee, O king. And he commanded silence: and all being gone out that were about him,
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	20 Aod went in to him: now he was sitting in a summer parlour alone, and he said: I have a word from God to thee. And he forthwith rose up from his throne,
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	21 And Aod put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly,
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	22 With such force that the haft went in after the blade into the wound, and was closed up with the abundance of fat. So that he did not draw out the dagger, but left it in his body as he had struck it in. And forthwith by the secret parts of nature the excrements of the belly came out.
23 και εξηλθεν αωδ εις την προσταδα και απεκλεισεν τας θυρας του υπερωου επ' αυτον και εσφηνωσεν	23 But Aod carefully shutting the doors of the parlour and locking them,
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	24 Went out by a postern door. And the king's servants going in, saw the doors of the parlour shut, and they said: Perhaps he is easing nature in his summer parlour.
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	25 And waiting a long time till they were ashamed, and seeing that no man opened the door, they took a key: and opening, they found their lord lying dead on the ground.
26 και αωδ διεσωθη εως εθορυβουντο και ουκ ην ο προσνοων αυτω και αυτος παρηλθεν τα γλυπτα και διεσωθη εις σειρωθα	26 But Aod, while they were in confusion, escaped, and passed by the place of the idols, from whence he had returned. And he came to Seirath:
27 και εγενετο ηνικα ηλθεν και εσαλπισεν κερατινη εν ορει εφραιμ και κατεβησαν συν αυτω οι υιοι ισραηλ και αυτος εμπροσθεν αυτων	27 And forthwith he sounded the trumpet in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel went down with him, he himself going in the front.
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	28 And he said to them: Follow me: for the Lord hath delivered our enemies the Moabites into our hands. And they went down after him, and seized upon the fords of the Jordan, which are in the way to Moab: and they suffered no man to pass over.
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	29 But they slew of the Moabites at that time, about ten thousand, all strong and Valiant men: none of them could escape.
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	30 And Moab was humbled that day under the hand of Israel: and the land rested eighty years.
31 και μετα τουτον ανεστη σαμεγαρ υιος αναθ και επαταξεν τους αλλοφυλους εις εξακοσιους ανδρας εκτος μοσχων των βοων και εσωσεν αυτος τον ισραηλ	31 After him was Samgar the son of Anath, who slew of the Philistines six hundred men with a ploughshare: and he also defended Israel.
