Seconda lettera a Timoteo - 2 Timothy 4

GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Και συνηθροισεν ο Ιησους πασας τας φυλας του Ισραηλ εν Συχεμ, και συνεκαλεσε τους πρεσβυτερους του Ισραηλ και τους αρχηγους αυτων και τους κριτας αυτων και τους αρχοντας αυτων? και παρεσταθησαν ενωπιον του Θεου.	1 And Joshua gathered together all the tribes of Israel at Shechem, and he called those greater by birth, and the leaders and judges and teachers. And they stood in the sight of the Lord.
2 Και ειπεν ο Ιησους προς παντα τον λαον, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος του Ισραηλ? περαν του ποταμου κατωκησαν απ' αρχης οι πατερες σας, Θαρρα ο πατηρ του Αβρααμ και ο πατηρ του Ναχωρ, και ελατρευσαν αλλους θεους.	2 And he spoke to the people in this way: “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: ‘Your fathers lived, in the beginning, across the river: Terah, the father of Abraham, and Nahor. And they served strange gods.
3 Και ελαβον τον πατερα σας τον Αβρααμ εκ του περαν του ποταμου, και ωδηγησα αυτον δια πασης της γης Χανααν, και επληθυνα το σπερμα αυτου, και εδωκα τον Ισαακ εις αυτον.	3 Then I brought your father Abraham from the parts of Mesopotamia, and I led him into the land of Canaan. And I multiplied his offspring,
4 Και εις τον Ισαακ εδωκα τον Ιακωβ και τον Ησαυ? και εδωκα εις τον Ησαυ το ορος Σηειρ, δια να κληρονομηση αυτο? ο δε Ιακωβ και οι υιοι αυτου κατεβησαν εις την Αιγυπτον.	4 and I gave to him Isaac. And to him, I gave again Jacob and Esau. And I gave mount Seir to Esau as a possession. Yet truly, Jacob and his sons descended into Egypt.
5 Και απεστειλα τον Μωυσην και τον Ααρων, και επαταξα την Αιγυπτον δια πληγων, τας οποιας εκαμον εν μεσω αυτης, και μετα ταυτα εξηγαγον υμας.	5 And I sent Moses and Aaron, and I struck Egypt with many signs and portents.
6 Και αφου εξηγαγον τους πατερας υμων εξ Αιγυπτου, ηλθετε εις την θαλασσαν? και κατεδιωξαν οι Αιγυπτιοι οπισω των πατερων υμων με αμαξας και ιππους εις την θαλασσαν την Ερυθραν?	6 And I led you and your fathers away from Egypt, and you arrived at the sea. And the Egyptians pursued your fathers with chariots and horsemen, as far as the Red Sea.
7 και εβοησαν προς Κυριον και αυτος εθεσε σκοτος αναμεσον υμων και των Αιγυπτιων, και επηγαγεν επ' αυτους την θαλασσαν και εκαλυψεν αυτους, και οι οφθαλμοι υμων ειδον τι εκαμον εν τη Αιγυπτω? και κατωκησατε εν τη ερημω ημερας πολλας.	7 Then the sons of Israel cried out to the Lord. And he stationed a darkness between you and the Egyptians, and he led the sea over them, and he covered them. Your eyes saw all that I did in Egypt, and you lived in the wilderness for a long time.
8 Και σας εφερα εις την γην των Αμορραιων, των κατοικουντων περαν του Ιορδανου, και σας επολεμησαν και παρεδωκα αυτους εις τας χειρας σας, και κατεκληρονομησατε την γην αυτων, και εξωλοθρευσα αυτους απ' εμπροσθεν σας.	8 And I led you into the land of the Amorite, who was living beyond the Jordan. And when they fought against you, I delivered them into your hands, and you possessed their land, and you put them to death.
9 Και εσηκωθη Βαλακ ο υιος του Σεπφωρ, βασιλευς του Μωαβ, και επολεμησε προς τον Ισραηλ? και αποστειλας προσεκαλεσε τον Βαλααμ υιον του Βεωρ δια να σας καταρασθη?	9 Then Balak, the son of Zippor, the king of Moab, rose up and fought against Israel. And he sent and called for Balaam, the son of Beor, so that he might curse you.
10 αλλ' εγω δεν ηθελησα να ακουσω τον Βαλααμ? μαλιστα δε και σας ευλογησε, και σας ηλευθερωσα εκ των χειρων αυτου.	10 And I was not willing to listen to him, but on the contrary, I blessed you through him, and I freed you from his hand.
11 Και διεβητε τον Ιορδανην και ηλθετε εις Ιεριχω? και σας επολεμησαν οι ανδρες της Ιεριχω, οι Αμορραιοι και οι Φερεζαιοι και οι Χαναναιοι και οι Χετταιοι και οι Γεργεσαιοι, οι Ευαιοι και οι Ιεβουσαιοι? και παρεδωκα αυτους εις τας χειρας σας.	11 And you crossed over the Jordan, and you arrived at Jericho. And the men of that city fought against you: the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Girgashite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite. And I delivered them into your hands.
12 Και εξαπεστειλα εμπροσθεν σας τας σφηκας, και εξεδιωξαν αυτους απ' εμπροσθεν σας, τους δυο βασιλεις των Αμορραιων? ουχι δια της μαχαιρας σου ουδε δια του τοξου σου.	12 And I sent wasps before you. And I drove them from their places, the two kings of the Amorites, but not by your sword, and not by your bow.
13 Και εδωκα εις εσας γην, εις την οποιαν δεν εκοπιασατε, και πολεις τας οποιας δεν εκτισατε, και κατωκησατε εν αυταις? και τρωγετε αμπελωνας και ελαιωνας, τους οποιους δεν εφυτευσατε.	13 And I gave you a land, in which you did not labor, and cities, which you did not build, so that you might live in them, and vineyards and olive groves, which you did not plant.’
14 Τωρα λοιπον φοβηθητε τον Κυριον και λατρευσατε αυτον εν ακεραιοτητι και αληθεια? και αποβαλετε τους θεους, τους οποιους ελατρευσαν οι πατερες σας περαν του ποταμου και εν τη Αιγυπτω, και λατρευσατε τον Κυριον.	14 Now therefore, fear the Lord, and serve him with a perfect and very sincere heart. And take away the gods that your fathers served in Mesopotamia and in Egypt, and serve the Lord.
15 Αλλ' εαν δεν αρεσκη εις εσας να λατρευητε τον Κυριον, εκλεξατε σημερον ποιον θελετε να λατρευητε? η τους θεους, τους οποιους ελατρευσαν οι πατερες σας περαν του ποταμου, η τους θεους των Αμορραιων, εις των οποιων την γην κατοικειτε? εγω ομως και ο οικος μου θελομεν λατρευει τον Κυριον.	15 But if it seems evil to you that you would serve the Lord, a choice is given to you. Choose today what pleases you, and whom you ought to serve above all else, either the gods that your fathers served in Mesopotamia, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you live: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
16 Και απεκριθη ο λαος λεγων, Μη γενοιτο να αφησωμεν τον Κυριον, δια να λατρευσωμεν αλλους θεους?	16 And the people responded, and they said: “Far be it from us that we would forsake the Lord, and serve foreign gods.
17 διοτι Κυριος ο Θεος ημων, αυτος ανεβιβασεν ημας και τους πατερας ημων εκ γης Αιγυπτου, εξ οικου δουλειας, και αυτος εκαμεν ενωπιον ημων εκεινα τα σημεια τα μεγαλα, και διεφυλαξεν ημας καθ' ολην την οδον την οποιαν διωδευσαμεν, και μεταξυ παντων των εθνων δια των οποιων διεβημεν?	17 The Lord our God himself led us and our fathers away from the land of Egypt, from the house of servitude. And he accomplished immense signs in our sight, and he preserved us along the entire way by which we journeyed, and among all the people through whom we passed.
18 και εξεδιωξεν ο Κυριος απ' εμπροσθεν ημων παντας τους λαους και τους Αμορραιους τους κατοικουντας εν τη γη? και ημεις θελομεν λατρευει τον Κυριον? διοτι αυτος ειναι Θεος ημων.	18 And he cast out all the nations, the Amorite, the inhabitant of the land that we entered. And so, we will serve the Lord, for he is our God.”
19 Και ειπεν ο Ιησους προς τον λαον, Δεν θελετε δυνηθη να λατρευητε τον Κυριον? διοτι αυτος ειναι Θεος αγιος? ειναι Θεος ζηλωτης? δεν θελει συγχωρησει τας ανομιας σας και τας αμαρτιας σας?	19 And Joshua said to the people: “You will not be able to serve the Lord. For he is a holy and powerful God, and he is jealous, and he will not ignore your wickedness and sins.
20 διοτι θελετε εγκαταλειψει τον Κυριον και λατρευσει ξενους Θεους? τοτε στραφεις θελει σας κακωσει και θελει σας εξολοθρευσει, αφου σας αγαθοποιησε.	20 If you leave behind the Lord, and you serve foreign gods, he will turn himself, and he will afflict you, and he will overthrow you, after all the good that he has offered to you.”
21 Και ειπεν ο λαος εις τον Ιησουν, Ουχι? αλλα τον Κυριον θελομεν λατρευει.	21 And the people said to Joshua, “By no means will it be as you are saying, but we will serve the Lord.”
22 Και ειπεν ο Ιησους προς τον λαον, Σεις εισθε μαρτυρες εις εαυτους οτι σεις εξελεξατε εις εαυτους τον Κυριον, δια να λατρευητε αυτον. Και εκεινοι ειπον, Μαρτυρες.	22 And Joshua said to the people, “You yourselves are witnesses, that you have chosen the Lord so that you may serve him.” And they answered, “We are witnesses.”
23 Τωρα λοιπον αποβαλετε τους ξενους θεους, τους εν τω μεσω υμων, και κλινατε την καρδιαν υμων προς Κυριον τον Θεον του Ισραηλ.	23 “Now therefore,” he said, “take away strange gods from among yourselves, and incline your hearts to the Lord, the God of Israel.”
24 Και ειπεν ο λαος προς τον Ιησουν, Κυριον τον Θεον ημων θελομεν λατρευει και εις την φωνην αυτου θελομεν υπακουει.	24 And the people said to Joshua, “We will serve the Lord our God, and we will be obedient to his precepts.”
25 Και εκαμεν ο Ιησους διαθηκην προς τον λαον εν τη ημερα εκεινη, και εθεσεν εις αυτους νομον και κρισιν εν Συχεμ.	25 Therefore, on that day, Joshua struck a covenant, and he set before the people at Shechem the precepts and the judgments.
26 Και εγραψεν ο Ιησους τους λογους τουτους εν τω βιβλιω του νομου του Θεου? και λαβων λιθον μεγαν, εστησεν αυτον εκει υπο την δρυν, την πλησιον του αγιαστηριου του Κυριου.	26 He also wrote all these things in the volume of the law of the Lord. And he took a very great stone, and he stationed it under the oak that was in the Sanctuary of the Lord.
27 Και ειπεν ο Ιησους προς παντα τον λαον, Ιδου, ο λιθος ουτος θελει εισθαι εις υμας εις μαρτυριον, διοτι αυτος ηκουσε παντας τους λογους του Κυριου τους οποιους ελαλησε προς ημας? θελει εισθαι λοιπον εις μαρτυριον εις εσας, δια να μη αρνηθητε τον Θεον σας.	27 And he said to all the people, “Lo, this stone shall be to you as a testimony, which has heard all the words of the Lord that he has spoken to you, lest perhaps, afterward, you might choose to deny it, and to lie to the Lord your God.”
28 Και απεστειλεν ο Ιησους τον λαον, εκαστον εις την κληρονομιαν αυτου.	28 And he dismissed the people, each one to their own possession.
29 Και μετα τα πραγματα ταυτα, ετελευτησεν Ιησους ο υιος του Ναυη, ο δουλος του Κυριου, ηλικιας εκατον δεκα ετων.	29 And after these things, Joshua, the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died, being one hundred and ten years old.
30 Και εθαψαν αυτον εν τοις οριοις της κληρονομιας αυτου εν Φαμναθ-σαραχ, ητις ειναι εν τω ορει Εφραιμ, προς βορραν του ορους Γαας.	30 And they buried him within the borders of his possession at Timnath-Serah, which is situated on mount Ephraim, before the northern side of mount Gaash.
31 Και ελατρευσεν ο Ισραηλ τον Κυριον πασας τας ημερας του Ιησου και πασας τας ημερας των πρεσβυτερων, οιτινες επεζησαν μετα τον Ιησουν και οιτινες εγνωρισαν παντα τα εργα του Κυριου, οσα εκαμεν υπερ του Ισραηλ.	31 And Israel served the Lord during all the days of Joshua, and of the elders who lived for a long time after Joshua, and who had known all the works of the Lord that he had accomplished in Israel.
32 Τα δε οστα του Ιωσηφ, τα οποια ανεβιβασαν οι υιοι Ισραηλ εξ Αιγυπτου, εθαψαν εν Συχεμ, εν τη μεριδι του αγρου την οποιαν ηγορασεν ο Ιακωβ παρα των υιων του Εμμωρ, πατρος του Συχεμ, δι' εκατον αργυρια, και εγεινε κληρονομια των υιων Ιωσηφ.	32 And the bones of Joseph, which the sons of Israel had brought from Egypt, they buried at Shechem, in a portion of the field that Jacob had purchased from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem, for one hundred young female sheep, and so it was in the possession of the sons of Joseph.
33 Και ετελευτησεν Ελεαζαρ ο υιος του Ααρων, και εθαψαν αυτον εν τω λοφω του Φινεες του υιου αυτου, οστις εδοθη εις αυτον εκ τω ορει Εφραιμ.	33 Likewise, Eleazar, the son of Aaron, died. And they buried him at Gibeah, which belongs to Phinehas, his son, and which was given to him on mount Ephraim.
