ΙΗΣΟΥΣ ΝΑΥΗ - Giosuè - Joshua 22

LXX	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 τοτε συνεκαλεσεν ιησους τους υιους ρουβην και τους υιους γαδ και το ημισυ φυλης μανασση	1 In the same time, Joshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the one half tribe of Manasseh.
2 και ειπεν αυτοις υμεις ακηκοατε παντα οσα ενετειλατο υμιν μωυσης ο παις κυριου και επηκουσατε της φωνης μου κατα παντα οσα ενετειλαμην υμιν	2 And he said to them: “You have done all that Moses, the servant of the Lord, instructed you. You have also obeyed me in all things.
3 ουκ εγκαταλελοιπατε τους αδελφους υμων ταυτας τας ημερας και πλειους εως της σημερον ημερας εφυλαξασθε την εντολην κυριου του θεου υμων	3 Neither have you forsaken your brothers during this long time, even to the present day, keeping the orders of the Lord your God.
4 νυν δε κατεπαυσεν κυριος ο θεος ημων τους αδελφους ημων ον τροπον ειπεν αυτοις νυν ουν αποστραφεντες απελθατε εις τους οικους υμων και εις την γην της κατασχεσεως υμων ην εδωκεν υμιν μωυσης εν τω περαν του ιορδανου	4 Therefore, since the Lord your God has given your brothers peace and quiet, just as he promised: return, and go into your tents and into the land of your possession, which Moses, the servant of the Lord, delivered to you beyond the Jordan.
5 αλλα φυλαξασθε ποιειν σφοδρα τας εντολας και τον νομον ον ενετειλατο ημιν ποιειν μωυσης ο παις κυριου αγαπαν κυριον τον θεον υμων πορευεσθαι πασαις ταις οδοις αυτου φυλαξασθαι τας εντολας αυτου και προσκεισθαι αυτω και λατρευειν αυτω εξ ολης της διανοιας υμων και εξ ολης της ψυχης υμων	5 And may you continue to observe attentively, and to work to fulfill, the commandment and the law that Moses, the servant of the Lord, instructed to you, so that you may love the Lord your God, and walk in all his ways, and keep all his commandments, and cling to him, and serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.”
6 και ηυλογησεν αυτους ιησους και εξαπεστειλεν αυτους και επορευθησαν εις τους οικους αυτων	6 And Joshua blessed them, and he sent them away. And they returned to their tents.
7 και τω ημισει φυλης μανασση εδωκεν μωυσης εν τη βασανιτιδι και τω ημισει εδωκεν ιησους μετα των αδελφων αυτου εν τω περαν του ιορδανου παρα θαλασσαν και ηνικα εξαπεστειλεν αυτους ιησους εις τους οικους αυτων και ευλογησεν αυτους	7 Now to the one half tribe of Manasseh, Moses had given a possession in Bashan. And therefore, to the one half that was left over, Joshua gave a lot among the remainder of their brothers across the Jordan, in the western region. And when he had blessed them and dismissed them to their tents,
8 και εν χρημασιν πολλοις απηλθοσαν εις τους οικους αυτων και κτηνη πολλα σφοδρα και αργυριον και χρυσιον και σιδηρον και ιματισμον πολυν και διειλαντο την προνομην των εχθρων μετα των αδελφων αυτων	8 he said to them: “Return to your settlements with much substance and wealth, with silver and gold, brass and iron, and a multitude of garments. Divide the spoils of your enemies with your brothers.”
9 και επορευθησαν οι υιοι ρουβην και οι υιοι γαδ και το ημισυ φυλης υιων μανασση απο των υιων ισραηλ εκ σηλω εν γη χανααν απελθειν εις γην γαλααδ εις γην κατασχεσεως αυτων ην εκληρονομησαν αυτην δια προσταγματος κυριου εν χειρι μωυση	9 And the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the one half tribe of Manasseh returned, and they went away from the sons of Israel at Shiloh, which is situated in Canaan, so that they might enter into Gilead, the land of their possession, which they had obtained according to the order of the Lord, by the hand of Moses.
10 και ηλθον εις γαλγαλα του ιορδανου η εστιν εν γη χανααν και ωκοδομησαν οι υιοι γαδ και οι υιοι ρουβην και το ημισυ φυλης μανασση εκει βωμον επι του ιορδανου βωμον μεγαν του ιδειν	10 And when they had arrived at the hills of the Jordan in the land of Canaan, they built an altar of immense magnitude beside the Jordan.
11 και ηκουσαν οι υιοι ισραηλ λεγοντων ιδου ωκοδομησαν οι υιοι γαδ και οι υιοι ρουβην και το ημισυ φυλης μανασση βωμον εφ' οριων γης χανααν επι του γαλααδ του ιορδανου εν τω περαν υιων ισραηλ	11 And when the sons of Israel had heard of it, and certain messengers had reported to them that the sons of Reuben, and of Gad, and of the one half tribe of Manasseh had built an altar in the land of Canaan, upon the hills of the Jordan, facing the sons of Israel,
12 και συνηθροισθησαν παντες οι υιοι ισραηλ εις σηλω ωστε αναβαντες εκπολεμησαι αυτους	12 they all assembled at Shiloh, so that they might go up and battle against them.
13 και απεστειλαν οι υιοι ισραηλ προς τους υιους ρουβην και προς τους υιους γαδ και προς το ημισυ φυλης μανασση εις γην γαλααδ τον τε φινεες υιον ελεαζαρ υιου ααρων του αρχιερεως	13 And in the interim, they sent to them, in the land of Gilead, Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the priest,
14 και δεκα των αρχοντων μετ' αυτου αρχων εις απο οικου πατριας απο πασων φυλων ισραηλ αρχοντες οικων πατριων εισιν χιλιαρχοι ισραηλ	14 and ten leaders with him, one from each tribe.
15 και παρεγενοντο προς τους υιους γαδ και προς τους υιους ρουβην και προς τους ημισεις φυλης μανασση εις γην γαλααδ και ελαλησαν προς αυτους λεγοντες	15 And they went to the sons of Reuben, and of Gad, and of the one half tribe of Manasseh, in the land of Gilead, and they said to them:
16 ταδε λεγει πασα η συναγωγη κυριου τις η πλημμελεια αυτη ην επλημμελησατε εναντιον του θεου ισραηλ αποστραφηναι σημερον απο κυριου οικοδομησαντες υμιν εαυτοις βωμον αποστατας υμας γενεσθαι απο κυριου	16 “All the people of the Lord declare this: What is this transgression? Why have you forsaken the Lord, the God of Israel, by building a sacrilegious altar, and by withdrawing from the worship of him?
17 μη μικρον ημιν το αμαρτημα φογωρ οτι ουκ εκαθαρισθημεν απ' αυτου εως της ημερας ταυτης και εγενηθη πληγη εν τη συναγωγη κυριου	17 Is it a small thing to you that you have sinned with Baal of Peor, and that the stain of that crime continues among us, even to the present day? And many of the people have fallen.
18 και υμεις αποστραφησεσθε σημερον απο κυριου και εσται εαν αποστητε σημερον απο κυριου και αυριον επι παντα ισραηλ εσται η οργη	18 And yet you have forsaken the Lord today, and tomorrow his wrath will rage against all of Israel.
19 και νυν ει μικρα υμιν η γη της κατασχεσεως υμων διαβητε εις την γην της κατασχεσεως κυριου ου κατασκηνοι εκει η σκηνη κυριου και κατακληρονομησατε εν ημιν και μη αποσταται απο θεου γενηθητε και μη αποστητε απο κυριου δια το οικοδομησαι υμας βωμον εξω του θυσιαστηριου κυριου του θεου ημων	19 But if you consider the land of your possession to be unclean, cross over to the land in which is the tabernacle of the Lord, and live among us. But do not withdraw from the Lord, and from our fellowship, by building an altar contrary to the altar of the Lord our God.
20 ουκ ιδου αχαρ ο του ζαρα πλημμελεια επλημμελησεν απο του αναθεματος και επι πασαν συναγωγην ισραηλ εγενηθη οργη και ουτος εις μονος ην μη μονος ουτος απεθανεν τη εαυτου αμαρτια	20 Did not Achan, the son of Zerah, go against the commandment of the Lord, and so his wrath was laid over all the people of Israel? And he was only one man. If only he had perished in his wickedness alone!”
21 και απεκριθησαν οι υιοι ρουβην και οι υιοι γαδ και το ημισυ φυλης μανασση και ελαλησαν τοις χιλιαρχοις ισραηλ λεγοντες	21 And the sons of Reuben, and of Gad, and of the one half tribe of Manasseh responded to the leaders of the delegation from Israel:
22 ο θεος θεος εστιν κυριος και ο θεος θεος κυριος αυτος οιδεν και ισραηλ αυτος γνωσεται ει εν αποστασια επλημμελησαμεν εναντι του κυριου μη ρυσαιτο ημας εν ταυτη	22 “The Lord, the almighty God, the Lord, the almighty God, he knows, and also Israel will understand: If we have constructed this altar with intent of transgression, let him not preserve us, but instead punish us immediately.
23 και ει ωκοδομησαμεν αυτοις βωμον ωστε αποστηναι απο κυριου του θεου ημων ωστε αναβιβασαι επ' αυτον θυσιαν ολοκαυτωματων η ωστε ποιησαι επ' αυτου θυσιαν σωτηριου κυριος εκζητησει	23 And if we have acted with a mind so that we might present upon it holocausts, and sacrifice, and victims of peace offerings, let him inquire and judge.
24 αλλ' ενεκεν ευλαβειας ρηματος εποιησαμεν τουτο λεγοντες ινα μη ειπωσιν αυριον τα τεκνα υμων τοις τεκνοις ημων τι υμιν κυριω τω θεω ισραηλ	24 Instead, we have acted with this greater thought and design, that we would say: Tomorrow your sons will say to our sons: ‘What is there between you and the Lord, the God of Israel?
25 και ορια εθηκεν κυριος ανα μεσον ημων και υμων τον ιορδανην και ουκ εστιν υμιν μερις κυριου και απαλλοτριωσουσιν οι υιοι υμων τους υιους ημων ινα μη σεβωνται κυριον	25 The Lord has stationed the river Jordan as the border between us and you, O sons of Reuben, O sons of Gad. And therefore, you have no part in the Lord.’ And by this occasion, your sons would turn away our sons from the fear of the Lord. And so we sought something better,
26 και ειπαμεν ποιησαι ουτως του οικοδομησαι τον βωμον τουτον ουχ ενεκεν καρπωματων ουδε ενεκεν θυσιων	26 and we said: Let us build us an altar, not for holocausts, and not to offer victims,
27 αλλ' ινα η τουτο μαρτυριον ανα μεσον ημων και υμων και ανα μεσον των γενεων ημων μεθ' ημας του λατρευειν λατρειαν κυριω εναντιον αυτου εν τοις καρπωμασιν ημων και εν ταις θυσιαις ημων και εν ταις θυσιαις των σωτηριων ημων και ουκ ερουσιν τα τεκνα υμων τοις τεκνοις ημων αυριον ουκ εστιν υμιν μερις κυριου	27 but as a testimony between us and you, and between our descendents and your progeny, so that we may serve the Lord, and so that it may be our right to offer holocausts, and victims, and peace offerings, and so that tomorrow your sons may not say to our sons: ‘You have no part in the Lord.’
28 και ειπαμεν εαν γενηται ποτε και λαλησωσιν προς ημας και ταις γενεαις ημων αυριον και ερουσιν ιδετε ομοιωμα του θυσιαστηριου κυριου ο εποιησαν οι πατερες ημων ουχ ενεκεν καρπωματων ουδε ενεκεν θυσιων αλλα μαρτυριον εστιν ανα μεσον υμων και ανα μεσον ημων και ανα μεσον των υιων ημων	28 And if they decide to say this, they shall respond to them: ‘Behold, the altar of the Lord, which our fathers made, not for holocausts, and not for sacrifice, but instead as a testimony between us and you.’
29 μη γενοιτο ουν ημας αποστραφηναι απο κυριου εν ταις σημερον ημεραις αποστηναι απο κυριου ωστε οικοδομησαι ημας θυσιαστηριον τοις καρπωμασιν και ταις θυσιαις σαλαμιν και τη θυσια του σωτηριου πλην του θυσιαστηριου κυριου ο εστιν εναντιον της σκηνης αυτου	29 May this wickedness be far from us, such that we would withdraw from the Lord, and would forsake his paths, by constructing an altar to offer holocausts, and sacrifices, and victims, contrary to the altar of the Lord our God, which was built before his tabernacle.”
30 και ακουσας φινεες ο ιερευς και παντες οι αρχοντες της συναγωγης ισραηλ οι ησαν μετ' αυτου τους λογους ους ελαλησαν οι υιοι ρουβην και οι υιοι γαδ και το ημισυ φυλης μανασση και ηρεσεν αυτοις	30 And when Phinehas, the priest, and the leaders of the delegation who were with him, had heard this, they were pleased. And they accepted very willingly the words of the sons of Reuben, and of Gad, and of the one half tribe of Manasseh.
31 και ειπεν φινεες ο ιερευς τοις υιοις ρουβην και τοις υιοις γαδ και τω ημισει φυλης μανασση σημερον εγνωκαμεν οτι μεθ' ημων κυριος διοτι ουκ επλημμελησατε εναντιον κυριου πλημμελειαν και οτι ερρυσασθε τους υιους ισραηλ εκ χειρος κυριου	31 And Phinehas, the priest, the son of Eleazar, said to them: “Now we know that the Lord is with us. For you are a stranger to this transgression. And so you have freed the sons of Israel from the hand of the Lord.”
32 και απεστρεψεν φινεες ο ιερευς και οι αρχοντες απο των υιων ρουβην και απο των υιων γαδ και απο του ημισους φυλης μανασση εκ γης γαλααδ εις γην χανααν προς τους υιους ισραηλ και απεκριθησαν αυτοις τους λογους	32 And he returned with the leaders, from the sons of Reuben and of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, into the parts of Canaan, to the sons of Israel. And he reported to them.
33 και ηρεσεν τοις υιοις ισραηλ και ελαλησαν προς τους υιους ισραηλ και ευλογησαν τον θεον υιων ισραηλ και ειπαν μηκετι αναβηναι προς αυτους εις πολεμον εξολεθρευσαι την γην των υιων ρουβην και των υιων γαδ και του ημισους φυλης μανασση και κατωκησαν επ' αυτης	33 And the word pleased all who heard it. And the sons of Israel praised God, and they no longer said that they would go up against them, and fight, and destroy the land of their possession.
34 και επωνομασεν ιησους τον βωμον των ρουβην και των γαδ και του ημισους φυλης μανασση και ειπεν οτι μαρτυριον εστιν ανα μεσον αυτων οτι κυριος ο θεος αυτων εστιν	34 And the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad called the altar that they had built: Our testimony that the Lord himself is God.
