1 Maccabees 14

1

Now in the hundred threescore and twelfth year king Demetrius gathered his forces together, and went into Media to get him help to fight against Tryphon.

ΚΑΙ ἐν ἔτει δευτέρῳ καὶ ἑβδομηκοστῷ καὶ ἑκατοστῷ συνήγαγε Δημήτριος ὁ βασιλεὺς τὰς δυνάμεις αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπορεύθη εἰς Μηδίαν τοῦ ἐπισπάσασθαι βοήθειαν αὐτῷ, ὅπως πολεμήσῃ τὸν Τρύφωνα.

И҆ въ лѣ́то сто̀ се́дмьдесѧтъ второ́е, собра̀ ца́рь дими́трїй си̑лы своѧ̑ и҆ и҆́де въ миді́ю собра́ти по́мощь себѣ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ да ра́тꙋетъ проти́вꙋ трѵ́фѡна.

2

But when Arsaces, the king of Persia and Media, heard that Demetrius was entered within his borders, he sent one of his princes to take him alive:

καὶ ἤκουσεν ᾿Αρσάκης ὁ βασιλεὺς τῆς Περσίδος καὶ Μηδίας ὅτι ἦλθε Δημήτριος εἰς τὰ ὅρια αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἕνα τῶν ἀρχόντων αὐτοῦ συλλαβεῖν αὐτὸν ζῶντα.

И҆ слы́ша а҆рса́къ ца́рь пе́рсскїй и҆ ми́дскїй, ꙗ҆́кѡ прїи́де дими́трїй въ предѣ́лы є҆гѡ̀, и҆ посла̀ є҆ди́наго ѿ нача̑льникъ свои́хъ ꙗ҆́ти є҆го̀ жи́ва.

3

Who went and smote the host of Demetrius, and took him, and brought him to Arsaces, by whom he was put in ward.

καὶ ἐπορεύθη καὶ ἐπάταξε τὴν παρεμβολὴν Δημητρίου καὶ συνέλαβεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἤγαγεν αὐτὸν πρὸς ᾿Αρσάκην, καὶ ἔθετο αὐτὸν ἐν φυλακῇ.

И҆ и҆́де и҆ поразѝ ѡ҆полче́нїе дими́трїево, и҆ ꙗ҆́тъ є҆го̀ и҆ приведѐ є҆го̀ ко а҆рса́кꙋ: и҆ всадѝ є҆го̀ въ темни́цꙋ.

4

As for the land of Judea, that was quiet all the days of Simon; for he sought the good of his nation in such wise, as that evermore his authority and honour pleased them well.

Καὶ ἡσύχασεν ἡ γῆ ᾿Ιούδα πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας Σίμωνος, καὶ ἐζήτησαν ἀγαθὰ τῷ ἔθνει αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἤρεσεν αὐτοῖς ἡ ἐξουσία αὐτοῦ καὶ ἡ δόξα αὐτοῦ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας.

И҆ ᲂу҆молча̀ землѧ̀ і҆ꙋ́дина во всѧ̑ дни̑ сі́мѡнѡвы, и҆ взыска̀ блага̑ѧ ꙗ҆зы́кꙋ своемꙋ̀, и҆ ᲂу҆го́дна бы́сть и҆̀мъ вла́сть є҆гѡ̀ и҆ сла́ва є҆гѡ̀ во всѧ̑ дни̑.

5

And as he was honourable in all his acts, so in this, that he took Joppa for an haven, and made an entrance to the isles of the sea,

καὶ μετὰ πάσης τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ ἔλαβε τὴν ᾿Ιόππην εἰς λιμένα καὶ ἐποίησεν εἴσοδον ταῖς νήσοις τῆς θαλάσσης.

И҆ со все́ю сла́вою свое́ю взѧ̀ і҆ѻппі́ю въ приста́нище и҆ сотворѝ вхо́дъ ѻ҆стровѡ́мъ мѡрски́мъ,

6

And enlarged the bounds of his nation, and recovered the country,

καὶ ἐπλάτυνε τὰ ὅρια τῷ ἔθνει αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐκράτησε τῆς χώρας.

и҆ распрострѐ предѣ́лы ꙗ҆зы́кꙋ своемꙋ̀, и҆ ѡ҆держа̀ странꙋ̀,

7

And gathered together a great number of captives, and had the dominion of Gazera, and Bethsura, and the tower, out of the which he took all uncleanness, neither was there any that resisted him.

καὶ συνήγαγεν αἰχμαλωσίαν πολλὴν καὶ ἐκυρίευσε Γαζάρων καὶ Βαιθσούρων καὶ τῆς ἄκρας· καὶ ἐξῇρε τὰς ἀκαθαρσίας ἐξ αὐτῆς, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ ἀντικείμενος αὐτῷ.

и҆ собра̀ плѣне́нїе мно́го, и҆ госпо́дствова над̾ газа̑ры и҆ веѳсꙋ̑ры и҆ краегра́дїемъ, и҆ ѿѧ́тъ нечистѡты̀ ѿ негѡ̀, и҆ не бы́сть противлѧ́ющагѡсѧ є҆мꙋ̀.

8

Then did they till their ground in peace, and the earth gave her increase, and the trees of the field their fruit.

καὶ ἦσαν γεωργοῦντες τὴν γῆν αὐτῶν μετ᾿ εἰρήνης, καὶ ἡ γῆ ἐδίδου τὰ γεννήματα αὐτῆς καὶ τὰ ξύλα τῶν πεδίων τὸν καρπὸν αὐτῶν.

И҆ кі́йждо дѣ́лаше зе́млю свою̀ съ ми́ромъ, и҆ землѧ̀ даѧ́ше жи̑та своѧ̑, и҆ древеса̀ пѡльска́ѧ пло́дъ сво́й.

9

The ancient men sat all in the streets, communing together of good things, and the young men put on glorious and warlike apparel.

πρεσβύτεροι ἐν ταῖς πλατείαις ἐκάθηντο, πάντες περὶ ἀγαθῶν ἐκοινολογοῦντο, καὶ οἱ νεανίσκοι ἐνεδύσαντο δόξας καὶ στολὰς πολέμου.

Старѣ̑йшины на сто́гнахъ сѣдѧ́хꙋ и҆ всѝ ѡ҆ благи́хъ бесѣ́довахꙋ, и҆ ю҆́нѡши ѡ҆блача́хꙋсѧ сла́вою и҆ ри́зами ра́тными.

10

He provided victuals for the cities, and set in them all manner of munition, so that his honourable name was renowned unto the end of the world.

ταῖς πόλεσιν ἐχορήγησε βρώματα καὶ ἔταξεν αὐτὰς ἐν σκεύεσιν ὀχυρώσεως, ἕως ὅτου ὠνομάσθη τὸ ὄνομα τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ ἕως ἄκρου τῆς γῆς.

Градѡ́мъ даѧ́ше пи́щы и҆ вчинѧ́ше и҆̀хъ въ сосꙋ́ды ᲂу҆твержде́нїѧ, доне́лѣже и҆менова́сѧ и҆́мѧ сла́вы є҆гѡ̀ да́же до кра́ѧ землѝ.

11

He made peace in the land, and Israel rejoiced with great joy:

ἐποίησε τὴν εἰρήνην ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, καὶ εὐφράνθη ᾿Ισραὴλ εὐφροσύνην μεγάλην.

Сотворѝ ми́ръ на землѝ, и҆ возвесели́сѧ і҆и҃ль весе́лїемъ ве́лїимъ.

12

For every man sat under his vine and his fig tree, and there was none to fray them:

καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἕκαστος ὑπὸ τὴν ἄμπελον αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν συκῆν αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ ἐκφοβῶν αὐτούς.

И҆ сѣ́де кі́йждо под̾ вїногра́домъ свои́мъ и҆ смоко́вницею свое́ю, и҆ не бы́сть ᲂу҆страша́ющагѡ и҆̀хъ.

13

Neither was there any left in the land to fight against them: yea, the kings themselves were overthrown in those days.

καὶ ἐξέλιπεν ὁ πολεμῶν αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, καὶ οἱ βασιλεῖς συνετρίβησαν ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις.

И҆ ѡ҆скꙋдѣ̀ ра́тꙋѧй и҆̀хъ на землѝ, и҆ ца́рїе сотро́шасѧ во дни̑ ѡ҆́ны.

14

Moreover he strengthened all those of his people that were brought low: the law he searched out; and every contemner of the law and wicked person he took away.

καὶ ἐστήρισε πάντας τοὺς ταπεινοὺς τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ· τὸν νόμον ἐξεζήτησε καὶ ἐξῇρε πάντα ἄνομον καὶ πονηρόν·

И҆ ᲂу҆крѣпѝ всѣ́хъ смире́нныхъ люді́й свои́хъ: зако́на взыска̀ и҆ ѿѧ́тъ всѧ́ко беззако́нїе и҆ лꙋка́вство,

15

He beautified the sanctuary, and multiplied vessels of the temple.

τὰ ἅγια ἐδόξασε, καὶ ἐπλήθυνε τὰ σκεύη τῶν ἁγίων.

ст҃а̑ѧ просла́ви и҆ ᲂу҆мно́жи сосꙋ́ды ст҃ы́хъ.

16

Now when it was heard at Rome, and as far as Sparta, that Jonathan was dead, they were very sorry.

Καὶ ἠκούσθη ἐν Ῥώμῃ, ὅτι ἀπέθανεν ᾿Ιωνάθαν, καὶ ἕως Σπάρτης, καὶ ἐλυπήθησαν σφόδρα.

И҆ слы́шано бѣ̀ въ ри́мѣ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆́мре і҆ѡнаѳа́нъ, и҆ да́же до спа́ртїи слы́шасѧ, и҆ ѡ҆скорби́шасѧ ѕѣлѡ̀.

17

But as soon as they heard that his brother Simon was made high priest in his stead, and ruled the country, and the cities therein:

ὡς δὲ ἤκουσαν, ὅτι Σίμων ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ γέγονεν ἀντ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἀρχιερεὺς καὶ ἐπικρατεῖ τῆς χώρας καὶ τῶν πόλεων τῶν ἐν αὐτῇ,

Є҆гда́ же ᲂу҆слы́шаша, ꙗ҆́кѡ сі́мѡнъ бра́тъ є҆гѡ̀ бы́сть вмѣ́стѡ є҆гѡ̀ а҆рхїере́й и҆ ѡ҆держа̀ всю̀ странꙋ̀ и҆ гра́ды въ не́й,

18

They wrote unto him in tables of brass, to renew the friendship and league which they had made with Judas and Jonathan his brethren:

ἔγραψαν πρὸς αὐτὸν δέλτοις χαλκαῖς τοῦ ἀνανεώσασθαι πρὸς αὐτὸν φιλίαν καὶ τὴν συμμαχίαν, ἣν ἔστησαν πρὸς ᾿Ιούδαν καὶ ᾿Ιωνάθαν τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ.

писа́ша къ немꙋ̀ на дщи́цахъ мѣ́дѧныхъ, є҆́же ѡ҆бнови́ти съ ни́мъ дрꙋ́жбꙋ и҆ споборе́нїе, ꙗ҆̀же сотвори́ша со і҆ꙋ́дою и҆ і҆ѡнаѳа́номъ бра́тїею є҆гѡ̀.

19

Which writings were read before the congregation at Jerusalem.

καὶ ἀνεγνώσθησαν ἐνώπιον τῆς ἐκκλησίας ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ.

И҆ прочто́шасѧ пред̾ цр҃ковїю во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ.

20

And this is the copy of the letters that the Lacedemonians sent; The rulers of the Lacedemonians, with the city, unto Simon the high priest, and the elders, and priests, and residue of the people of the Jews, our brethren, send greeting:

καὶ τοῦτο τὸ ἀντίγραφον τῶν ἐπιστολῶν, ὧν ἀπέστειλαν οἱ Σπαρτιάται· «Σπαρτιατῶν ἄρχοντες καὶ ἡ πόλις Σίμωνι ἱερεῖ μεγάλῳ καὶ τοῖς πρεσβυτέροις καὶ τοῖς ἱερεῦσι καὶ τῷ λοιπῷ δήμῳ τῶν ᾿Ιουδαίων ἀδελφοῖς χαίρειν.

И҆ се́й ѡ҆́бразъ посла́нїй, и҆̀хже посла́ша спартїа́ты: спартїа́тѡвъ нача̑льницы и҆ гра́дъ сі́мѡнꙋ і҆ере́ю вели́комꙋ и҆ старѣ́йшинамъ, и҆ жерцє́мъ и҆ про́чымъ лю́демъ і҆ꙋдє́йскимъ бра́тїи ра́доватисѧ:

21

The ambassadors that were sent unto our people certified us of your glory and honour: wherefore we were glad of their coming,

οἱ πρεσβευταὶ οἱ ἀποσταλέντες πρὸς τὸν δῆμον ἡμῶν ἀπήγγειλαν ἡμῖν περὶ τῆς δόξης ὑμῶν καὶ τιμῆς, καὶ ηὐφράνθημεν ἐπὶ τῇ ἐφόδῳ αὐτῶν.

послы̀, и҆̀же по́слани сꙋ́ть къ лю́демъ на́шымъ, возвѣсти́ша на́мъ ѡ҆ ва́шей сла́вѣ и҆ че́сти, и҆ возвесели́хомсѧ ѡ҆ прихо́дѣ и҆́хъ,

22

And did register the things that they spake in the council of the people in this manner; Numenius son of Antiochus, and Antipater son of Jason, the Jews’ ambassadors, came unto us to renew the friendship they had with us.

καὶ ἀνεγράψαμεν τὰ ὑπ᾿ αὐτῶν εἰρημένα ἐν ταῖς βουλαῖς τοῦ δήμου οὕτως· Νουμήνιος ᾿Αντιόχου καὶ ᾿Αντίπατρος ᾿Ιάσωνος πρεσβευταὶ ᾿Ιουδαίων ἤλθοσαν πρὸς ἡμᾶς ἀνανεούμενοι τὴν πρὸς ἡμᾶς φιλίαν.

и҆ списа́хомъ ꙗ҆̀же ѿ ни́хъ речє́на въ совѣ́тѣхъ люді́й си́це: нꙋми́нїй сы́нъ а҆нтїо́ховъ и҆ а҆нтїпа́тръ і҆асѡ́новъ, послы̀ і҆ꙋде́йстїи, прїидо́ста къ на́мъ возновлѧ̑юща съ на́ми дрꙋ́жбꙋ:

23

And it pleased the people to entertain the men honourably, and to put the copy of their ambassage in publick records, to the end the people of the Lacedemonians might have a memorial thereof: furthermore we have written a copy thereof unto Simon the high priest.

καὶ ἤρεσε τῷ δήμῳ ἐπιδέξασθαι τοὺς ἄνδρας ἐνδόξως καὶ τοῦ θέσθαι τὸ ἀντίγραφον τῶν λόγων αὐτῶν ἐν τοῖς ἀποδεδειγμένοις τῶ δήμῳ βιβλίοις τοῦ ἔχειν μνημόσυνον τὸν δῆμον τῶν Σπαρτιατῶν. τὸ δὲ ἀντίγραφον τούτων ἐγράψαμεν Σίμωνι τῷ ἀρχιερεῖ». -

и҆ ᲂу҆го́дно бы́сть лю́демъ прїѧ́ти мꙋ́жы сла́внѡ и҆ положи́ти восписа́нїе слове́съ и҆́хъ во ѡ҆сѡ́быѧ людскі̑ѧ кни̑ги, да бꙋ́детъ па́мѧть лю́демъ спартїа́тѡвъ: ѡ҆́бразъ же тѣ́хъ писа́хомъ сі́мѡнꙋ а҆рхїере́ю.

24

After this Simon sent Numenius to Rome with a great shield of gold of a thousand pound weight to confirm the league with them.

Μετὰ δὲ ταῦτα ἀπέστειλε Σίμων τὸν Νουμήνιον εἰς Ῥώμην ἔχοντα ἀσπίδα χρυσῆν μεγάλην ὁλκῆς μνῶν χιλίων εἰς τὸ στῆσαι πρὸς αὐτοὺς τὴν συμμαχίαν.

По си́хъ посла̀ сі́мѡнъ нꙋми́нїа въ ри́мъ, и҆мꙋ́щаго щи́тъ зла́тъ вели́къ вѣ́сомъ мна̑съ ты́сѧща на ᲂу҆ставле́нїе съ ни́ми дрꙋ́жбы.

25

Whereof when the people heard, they said, What thanks shall we give to Simon and his sons?

῾Ως δὲ ἤκουσεν ὁ δῆμος τῶν λόγων τούτων, εἶπαν· τίνα χάριν ἀποδώσομεν Σίμωνι καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ;

Є҆гда́ же ᲂу҆слы́шаша лю́дїе словеса̀ сїѧ̑, рѣ́ша: кꙋ́ю благода́ть воздади́мъ сі́мѡнꙋ и҆ сынѡ́мъ є҆гѡ̀;

26

For he and his brethren and the house of his father have established Israel, and chased away in fight their enemies from them, and confirmed their liberty.

ἐστήρισε γὰρ αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ ὁ οἶκος τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπολέμησαν τοὺς ἐχθροὺς ᾿Ισραὴλ ἀπ᾿ αὐτῶν καὶ ἔστησαν αὐτῷ ἐλευθερίαν. καὶ κατέγραψαν ἐν δέλτοις χαλκαῖς καὶ ἔθεντο ἐν στήλαις ἐν ὄρει Σιών.

ᲂу҆тверди́ бо са́мъ и҆ бра́тїѧ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ до́мъ ѻ҆тца̀ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ побѝ врагѝ і҆и҃лєвы ѿ ни́хъ, и҆ ᲂу҆ста́виша є҆мꙋ̀ свобо́дꙋ.

27

So then they wrote it in tables of brass, which they set upon pillars in mount Sion: and this is the copy of the writing; The eighteenth day of the month Elul, in the hundred threescore and twelfth year, being the third year of Simon the high priest,

καὶ τοῦτο τὸ ἀντίγραφον τῆς γραφῆς· «᾿Οκτωκαιδεκάτῃ ᾿Ελούλ, ἔτους δευτέρου καὶ ἑβδομηκοστοῦ καὶ ἑκατοστοῦ - καὶ τοῦτο τρίτον ἔτος ἐπὶ Σίμωνος ἀρχιερέως

И҆ написа́ша на дска́хъ мѣ́дѧныхъ и҆ поста́виша на столпѣ̀ въ горѣ̀ сїѡ́нѣ. и҆ се́й є҆́сть ѡ҆́бразъ писа́нїѧ: во ѻ҆смыйна́десѧть де́нь мцⷭ҇а є҆лꙋ́лъ, лѣ́та сто̀ се́дмьдесѧтъ втора́гѡ, и҆ сїѐ тре́тїе лѣ́то при сі́мѡнѣ а҆рхїере́и, въ сараме́ли,

28

At Saramel in the great congregation of the priests, and people, and rulers of the nation, and elders of the country, were these things notified unto us.

ἐν ἀσαραμὲλ - ἐπὶ συναγωγῆς μεγάλης ἱερέων καὶ λαοῦ καὶ ἀρχόντων ἔθνους καὶ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων τῆς χώρας ἐγνώρισεν ἡμῖν·

въ собра́нїи вели́цѣмъ жерцє́въ и҆ люді́й, и҆ кнѧзе́й ꙗ҆зы́ка и҆ старѣ́йшинъ страны̀ возвѣсти́сѧ на́мъ: поне́же мно́гащи бы́ша бра̑ни въ странѣ̀,

29

Forasmuch as oftentimes there have been wars in the country, wherein for the maintenance of their sanctuary, and the law, Simon the son of Mattathias, of the posterity of Jarib, together with his brethren, put themselves in jeopardy, and resisting the enemies of their nation did their nation great honour:

ἐπεὶ πολλάκις ἐγενήθησαν πόλεμοι ἐν τῇ χώρᾳ, Σίμων δὲ ὁ υἱὸς Ματταθίου ὁ υἱὸς τῶν υἱῶν ᾿Ιωαρὶβ καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ ἔδωκαν ἑαυτοὺς τῷ κινδύνῳ καὶ ἀντέστησαν τοῖς ὑπεναντίοις τοῦ ἔθνους αὐτῶν, ὅπως σταθῇ τὰ ἅγια αὐτῶν καὶ ὁ νόμος, καὶ δόξῃ μεγάλῃ ἐδόξασαν τὸ ἔθνος αὐτῶν.

сі́мѡнъ же сы́нъ маттаѳі́евъ, сы́нъ сынѡ́въ і҆арі́вовыхъ, и҆ бра́тїѧ є҆гѡ̀ вда́ша себѐ въ бѣ́дство, и҆ противоста́ша сопоста́тѡмъ ꙗ҆зы́ка своегѡ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ да стоѧ́тъ ст҃а̑ѧ и҆́хъ и҆ зако́нъ, и҆ сла́вою вели́кою просла́виша лю́ди своѧ̑:

30

(For after that Jonathan, having gathered his nation together, and been their high priest, was added to his people,

καὶ ἤθροισεν ᾿Ιωνάθαν τὸ ἔθνος αὐτῶν καὶ ἐγενήθη αὐτοῖς ἀρχιερεὺς καὶ προσετέθη πρὸς τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ,

и҆ собра̀ і҆ѡнаѳа́нъ лю́ди своѧ̑, и҆ бы́сть и҆̀мъ а҆рхїере́й, и҆ приложи́сѧ къ лю́демъ свои̑мъ:

31

Their enemies prepared to invade their country, that they might destroy it, and lay hands on the sanctuary:

καὶ ἐβουλήθησαν οἱ ἐχθροὶ αὐτῶν ἐμβατεῦσαι εἰς τὴν χώραν αὐτῶν τοῦ ἐκτρῖψαι τὴν χώραν αὐτῶν καὶ ἐκτεῖναι χεῖρας ἐπὶ τὰ ἅγια αὐτῶν.

и҆ хотѣ́ша вразѝ и҆́хъ вни́ти въ странꙋ̀ и҆́хъ, є҆́же сокрꙋши́ти странꙋ̀ и҆́хъ и҆ просте́рти рꙋ́кꙋ на ст҃а̑ѧ и҆́хъ,

32

At which time Simon rose up, and fought for his nation, and spent much of his own substance, and armed the valiant men of his nation and gave them wages,

τότε ἀνέστη Σίμων, καὶ ἐπολέμησε περὶ τοῦ ἔθνους αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐδαπάνησε χρήματα πολλὰ τῶν ἑαυτοῦ καὶ ὡπλοδότησε τοὺς ἄνδρας τῆς δυνάμεως τοῦ ἔθνους αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς ὀψώνια

тогда̀ воста̀ сі́мѡнъ и҆ бра́сѧ за лю́ди своѧ̑, и҆ разда̀ сре́бреникѡвъ мно́гѡ свои̑мъ, и҆ воѡрꙋжѝ мꙋ́жы си̑льныѧ ꙗ҆зы́ка своегѡ̀, и҆ дадѐ и҆̀мъ ѡ҆бро́ки,

33

And fortified the cities of Judea, together with Bethsura, that lieth upon the borders of Judea, where the armour of the enemies had been before; but he set a garrison of Jews there:

καὶ ὠχύρωσε τὰς πόλεις τῆς ᾿Ιουδαίας καὶ τὴν Βαιθσούραν τὴν ἐπὶ τῶν ὁρίων τῆς ᾿Ιουδαίας, οὗ ἦν τὰ ὅπλα τῶν πολεμίων τὸ πρότερον, καὶ ἔθετο ἐκεῖ φρουρὰν ἄνδρας ᾿Ιουδαίους.

и҆ ᲂу҆твердѝ гра́ды і҆ꙋдє́йскїѧ и҆ веѳсꙋ́рꙋ, ꙗ҆́же въ предѣ́лѣхъ і҆ꙋде́йскихъ, и҆дѣ́же бѧ́хꙋ ѻ҆рꙋ̑жїѧ бра́нникѡвъ пре́жде, и҆ поста́ви та́мѡ на стра́жꙋ мꙋ́жы і҆ꙋдє́йскїѧ:

34

Moreover he fortified Joppa, which lieth upon the sea, and Gazera, that bordereth upon Azotus, where the enemies had dwelt before: but he placed Jews there, and furnished them with all things convenient for the reparation thereof.)

καὶ ᾿Ιόππην ὠχύρωσε τὴν ἐπὶ τῆς θαλάσσης καὶ τὴν Γάζαρα τὴν ἐπὶ τῶν ὁρίων ᾿Αζώτου, ἐν ᾗ ᾤκουν οἱ πολέμιοι τὸ πρότερον ἐκεῖ, καὶ κατῴκισεν ἐκεῖ ᾿Ιουδαίους, καὶ ὅσα ἐπιτήδεια ἦν πρὸς τὴν τούτων ἐπανόρθωσιν, ἔθετο ἐν αὐτοῖς.

и҆ і҆ѻппі́ю ᲂу҆твердѝ, ꙗ҆́же на примо́рїи, и҆ газа́рꙋ, ꙗ҆́же въ предѣ́лѣхъ а҆зѡ́та, въ не́йже вразѝ пре́жде ѡ҆бита́хꙋ, и҆ населѝ та́мѡ і҆ꙋдє́и, и҆ є҆ли̑ка потрє́бна бѧ́хꙋ на ᲂу҆правле́нїе си́хъ, положѝ въ ни́хъ:

35

The people therefore sang the acts of Simon, and unto what glory he thought to bring his nation, made him their governor and chief priest, because he had done all these things, and for the justice and faith which he kept to his nation, and for that he sought by all means to exalt his people.

καὶ εἶδεν ὁ λαὸς τὴν πρᾶξιν τοῦ Σίμωνος καὶ τὴν δόξαν, ἣν ἐβουλεύσατο ποιῆσαι τῷ ἔθνει αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔθεντο αὐτὸν ἡγούμενον αὐτῶν καὶ ἀρχιερέα διὰ τὸ αὐτὸν πεποιηκέναι πάντα ταῦτα καὶ τὴν δικαιοσύνην καὶ τὴν πίστιν, ἣν συνετήρησε τῷ ἔθνει αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐζήτησε παντὶ τρόπῳ ὑψῶσαι τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ.

и҆ ви́дѣша лю́дїе дѣ́йство сі́мѡново и҆ сла́вꙋ, ю҆́же ᲂу҆мы́сли сотвори́ти ꙗ҆зы́кꙋ своемꙋ̀, и҆ поста́виша є҆го̀ въ вожда̀ своего̀ и҆ а҆рхїере́а, зане́же сотворѝ сїѧ̑ всѧ̑, и҆ пра́вдꙋ и҆ вѣ́рꙋ, ю҆́же соблюдѐ ꙗ҆зы́кꙋ своемꙋ̀, и҆ взыска̀ всѧ́кимъ ѡ҆́бразомъ вознестѝ лю́ди своѧ̑:

36

For in his time things prospered in his hands, so that the heathen were taken out of their country, and they also that were in the city of David in Jerusalem, who had made themselves a tower, out of which they issued, and polluted all about the sanctuary, and did much hurt in the holy place:

καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις αὐτοῦ εὐωδώθη ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτοῦ τοῦ ἐξαρθῆναι τὰ ἔθνη ἐκ τῆς χώρας αὐτῶν καὶ τοὺς ἐν τῇ πόλει Δαυὶδ τοὺς ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ, οἳ ἐποίησαν ἑαυτοῖς ἄκραν, ἐξ ἧς ἐξεπορεύοντο καὶ ἐμίαινον κύκλῳ τῶν ἁγίων καὶ ἐποίουν πληγὴν μεγάλην ἐν τῇ ἁγνείᾳ.

и҆ во дни̑ є҆гѡ̀ благоꙋспѣва́ше въ рꙋкꙋ̀ є҆гѡ̀, є҆́же и҆з̾ѧ́ти ꙗ҆зы́ки ѿ страны̀ и҆́хъ, и҆ и҆̀же во гра́дѣ даві́довѣ бѣ́хꙋ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ, и҆̀же сотвори́ша себѣ̀ краегра́дїе, и҆з̾ негѡ́же и҆схожда́хꙋ и҆ сквернѧ́хꙋ ѡ҆́крестъ ст҃ы́хъ и҆ творѧ́хꙋ ꙗ҆́звꙋ ве́лїю въ чистотѣ̀,

37

But he placed Jews therein. and fortified it for the safety of the country and the city, and raised up the walls of Jerusalem.

καὶ κατῴκισεν ἐν αὐτῇ ἄνδρας ᾿Ιουδαίους καὶ ὠχύρωσεν αὐτὴν πρὸς ἀσφάλειαν τῆς χώρας καὶ τῆς πόλεως καὶ ὕψωσε τὰ τείχη ῾Ιερουσαλήμ,

и҆ населѝ въ не́мъ мꙋ́жы і҆ꙋдє́йски и҆ ᲂу҆твердѝ ко ᲂу҆крѣпле́нїю страны̀ и҆ гра́да и҆ возвы́си стѣ́ны во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ:

38

King Demetrius also confirmed him in the high priesthood according to those things,

καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Δημήτριος ἔστησεν αὐτῷ τὴν ἀρχιερωσύνην κατὰ ταῦτα

и҆ ца́рь дими́трїй ᲂу҆ста́ви є҆мꙋ̀ нача́льство жре́чества,

39

And made him one of his friends, and honoured him with great honour.

καὶ ἐποίησεν αὐτὸν τῶν φίλων αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐδόξασεν αὐτὸν δόξῃ μεγάλῃ.

по си̑мъ сотворѝ є҆го̀ дрꙋ́га своего̀ и҆ просла́ви є҆го̀ сла́вою вели́кою:

40

For he had heard say, that the Romans had called the Jews their friends and confederates and brethren; and that they had entertained the ambassadors of Simon honourably;

ἤκουσε γὰρ ὅτι προσηγόρευνται οἱ ᾿Ιουδαῖοι ὑπὸ Ῥωμαίων φίλοι καὶ σύμμαχοι καὶ ἀδελφοί, καὶ ὅτι ἀπήντησαν τοῖς πρεσβευταῖς Σίμωνος ἐνδόξως,

слы́ша бо, ꙗ҆́кѡ нарече́ни сꙋ́ть і҆ꙋде́є ѿ ри́млѧнъ дрꙋ́зи и҆ спобѡ́рницы и҆ бра́тїѧ, и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ прїѧ́ша послѡ́въ сі́мѡновыхъ пресла́внѡ:

41

Also that the Jews and priests were well pleased that Simon should be their governor and high priest for ever, until there should arise a faithful prophet;

καὶ ὅτι εὐδόκησαν οἱ ᾿Ιουδαῖοι καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς τοῦ εἶναι Σίμωνα ἡγούμενον καὶ ἀρχιερέα εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ἕως τοῦ ἀναστῆναι προφήτην πιστὸν

и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ благоволи́ша і҆ꙋде́є и҆ жерцы̀ бы́ти сі́мѡнꙋ вождо́мъ и҆ а҆рхїере́емъ въ вѣ́къ, до́ндеже воста́нетъ прⷪ҇ро́къ вѣ́ренъ:

42

Moreover that he should be their captain, and should take charge of the sanctuary, to set them over their works, and over the country, and over the armour, and over the fortresses, that, I say, he should take charge of the sanctuary;

καὶ τοῦ εἶναι ἐπ᾿ αὐτῶν στρατηγὸν καὶ ὅπως μέλῃ αὐτῷ περὶ τῶν ἁγίων καθιστάναι αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ τῶν ἔργων αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς χώρας καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν ὅπλων καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν ὀχυρωμάτων,

и҆ да бꙋ́детъ над̾ ни́ми воево́да, и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ да радѣ́етъ ѡ҆ ст҃ы́хъ поставлѧ́ти и҆̀хъ над̾ дѣла́ми и҆́хъ и҆ над̾ страно́ю, и҆ над̾ ѻ҆рꙋ́жїемъ и҆ над̾ тверды́нѧми,

43

Beside this, that he should be obeyed of every man, and that all the writings in the country should be made in his name, and that he should be clothed in purple, and wear gold:

καὶ ὅπως μέλῃ αὐτῷ περὶ τῶν ἁγίων, καὶ ὅπως ἀκούηται ὑπὸ πάντων, καὶ ὅπως γράφωνται ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ πᾶσαι συγγραφαὶ ἐν τῇ χώρᾳ, καὶ ὅπως περιβάλληται πορφύραν καὶ χρυσοφορῇ·

и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ да радѣ́етъ ѡ҆ ст҃ы́хъ, и҆ да слꙋ́шаютъ є҆гѡ̀ всѝ, и҆ да пи́шꙋтсѧ на и҆́мѧ є҆гѡ̀ всѧ̑ писа̑нїѧ во странѣ̀, и҆ да ѡ҆блачи́тсѧ въ порфѵ́рꙋ и҆ златꙋ́ю ри́зꙋ,

44

Also that it should be lawful for none of the people or priests to break any of these things, or to gainsay his words, or to gather an assembly in the country without him, or to be clothed in purple, or wear a buckle of gold;

καὶ οὐκ ἐξέσται οὐδενὶ τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ τῶν ἱερέων ἀθετῆσαί τι τούτων καὶ ἀντειπεῖν τοῖς ὑπ᾿ αὐτοῦ ῥηθησομένοις καὶ ἐπισυστρέψαι συστροφὴν ἐν τῇ χώρᾳ ἄνευ αὐτοῦ καὶ περιβάλλεσθαι πορφύραν καὶ ἐμπορποῦσθαι πόρπην χρυσῆν·

и҆ не лѣ́ть бꙋ́детъ никомꙋ́же ѿ люді́й и҆ ѿ жрє́цъ ѿврещѝ что̀ ѿ си́хъ и҆ вопрекѝ глаго́лати ѿ негѡ̀ речє́нымъ, и҆лѝ совокꙋпи́ти со́нмъ во странѣ̀ без̾ негѡ̀ и҆ ѡ҆блещи́сѧ въ порфѵ́рꙋ и҆ носи́ти гри́внꙋ зла́тꙋ:

45

And whosoever should do otherwise, or break any of these things, he should be punished.

ὃς δ᾿ ἂν παρὰ ταῦτα ποιήσῃ ἢ ἀθετήσῃ τι τούτων, ἔνοχος ἔσται». -

а҆ и҆́же а҆́ще сотвори́тъ кромѣ̀ си́хъ, и҆лѝ ѿве́ржетъ что̀ си́хъ, пови́ненъ бꙋ́детъ.

46

Thus it liked all the people to deal with Simon, and to do as hath been said.

καὶ εὐδόκησε πᾶς ὁ λαὸς θέσθαι Σίμωνι καὶ ποιῆσαι κατὰ τοὺς λόγους τούτους.

И҆ ᲂу҆го́дно бы́сть всѣ̑мъ лю́демъ ᲂу҆ста́вити сі́мѡнꙋ и҆ сотвори́ти по словесє́мъ си̑мъ.

47

Then Simon accepted hereof, and was well pleased to be high priest, and captain and governor of the Jews and priests, and to defend them all.

καὶ ἐπεδέξατο Σίμων καὶ εὐδόκησεν ἀρχιερατεύειν καὶ εἶναι στρατηγὸς καὶ ἐθνάρχης τῶν ᾿Ιουδαίων καὶ ἱερέων καὶ τοῦ προστατῆσαι πάντων.

И҆ прїѧ̀ сі́мѡнъ, и҆ благоволѝ а҆рхїере́йствовати, и҆ бы́ти воево́дою и҆ нача́льникомъ ꙗ҆зы́ка і҆ꙋде́йска и҆ жерце́мъ, и҆ нача́льствовати над̾ всѣ́ми.

48

So they commanded that this writing should be put in tables of brass, and that they should be set up within the compass of the sanctuary in a conspicuous place;

καὶ τὴν γραφὴν ταύτην εἶπον θέσθαι ἐν δέλτοις χαλκαῖς καὶ στῆσαι αὐτὰς ἐν περιβόλῳ τῶν ἁγίων ἐν τόπῳ ἐπισήμῳ,

И҆ писа́нїе сїѐ рѣ́ша водрꙋзи́ти во дщи́цахъ мѣ́дѧныхъ и҆ поста́вити и҆̀хъ въ притво́рѣ ст҃ы́хъ, въ мѣ́стѣ сла́внѣ,

49

Also that the copies thereof should be laid up in the treasury, to the end that Simon and his sons might have them.

τὰ δὲ ἀντίγραφα αὐτῶν θέσθαι ἐν τῷ γαζοφυλακίῳ, ὅπως ἔχῃ Σίμων καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ.

списа́нїе же си́хъ положи́ти въ газофѷла́кїи, ꙗ҆́кѡ да и҆́мать сі́мѡнъ и҆ сы́нове є҆гѡ̀.
