2 Maccabees 3

Now when the holy city was inhabited with all peace, and the laws were kept very well, because of the godliness of Onias the high priest, and his hatred of wickedness,

ΤΗΣ ἁγίας τοίνυν πόλεως κατοικουμένης μετὰ πάσης εἰρήνης καὶ τῶν νόμων ἔτι κάλλιστα συντηρουμένων διὰ τὴν ᾿Ονίου τοῦ ἀρχιερέως εὐσέβειάν τε καὶ μισοπονηρίαν,

Є҆гда̀ ᲂу҆̀бо ст҃ы́й гра́дъ ѡ҆бита́емь бѣ̀ во всѧ́цѣмъ ми́рѣ, и҆ зако́ны є҆щѐ и҆зрѧ́днѡ хранѧ́хꙋсѧ, ѻ҆ні́и а҆рхїере́а благоче́стїѧ ра́ди и҆ ненавидѣ́нїѧ лꙋка́вства,

It came to pass that even the kings themselves did honour the place, and magnify the temple with their best gifts;

συνέβαινε καὶ αὐτοὺς τοὺς βασιλεῖς τιμᾶν τὸν τόπον, καὶ τὸ ἱερὸν ἀποστολαῖς ταῖς κρατίσταις δοξάζειν,

слꙋча́шесѧ и҆ сами̑мъ царє́мъ почита́ти мѣ́сто и҆ це́рковь вели́кими да̑ры прославлѧ́ти,

Insomuch that Seleucus of Asia of his own revenues bare all the costs belonging to the service of the sacrifices.

ὥστε καὶ Σέλευκον τὸν τῆς ᾿Ασίας βασιλέα χορηγεῖν ἐκ τῶν ἰδίων προσόδων πάντα τὰ πρὸς τὰς λειτουργίας τῶν θυσιῶν ἐπιβάλλοντα δαπανήματα.

ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆ селе́ѵкъ а҆сі́йскїй ца́рь подаѧ́ше ѿ свои́хъ дохо́дѡвъ всѧ̑, ꙗ҆̀же ко слꙋже́нїємъ же́ртвъ надлежа́щаѧ и҆ждивє́нїѧ.

But one Simon of the tribe of Benjamin, who was made governor of the temple, fell out with the high priest about disorder in the city.

Σίμων δέ τις ἐκ τῆς Βενιαμὶν φυλῆς προστάτης τοῦ ἱεροῦ καθεσταμένος διηνέχθη τῷ ἀρχιερεῖ περὶ τῆς κατὰ τὴν πόλιν ἀγορανομίας·

Сі́мѡнъ же нѣ́кїй ѿ колѣ́на венїамі́нѧ настоѧ́тель це́ркви поста́вленный, прѧ́шесѧ со а҆рхїере́емъ ѡ҆ нача́льствѣ є҆́же во гра́дѣ.

And when he could not overcome Onias, he gat him to Apollonius the son of Thraseas, who then was governor of Celosyria and Phenice,

καὶ νικῆσαι τὸν ᾿Ονίαν μὴ δυνάμενος, ἦλθε πρὸς ᾿Απολλώνιον Θρασαίου τὸν κατ᾿ ἐκεῖνον τὸ καιρὸν Κοίλης Συρίας καὶ Φοινίκης στρατηγὸν

Но є҆гда̀ премощѝ ѻ҆ні́и не можа́ше, прїи́де ко а҆поллѡ́нїю ѳрасе́евꙋ, и҆́же во ѻ҆́но вре́мѧ бѧ́ше воево́да кїлисѷрі́и и҆ фїнїкі́и,

And told him that the treasury in Jerusalem was full of infinite sums of money, so that the multitude of their riches, which did not pertain to the account of the sacrifices, was innumerable, and that it was possible to bring all into the king’s hand.

καὶ προσήγγειλε περὶ τοῦ χρημάτων ἀμυθήτων γέμειν τὸ ἐν ῾Ιεροσολύμοις γαζοφυλάκιον, ὥστε τὸ πλῆθος τῶν διαφόρων ἐναρίθμητον εἶναι, καὶ μὴ προσήκειν αὐτὰ πρὸς τὸν τῶν θυσιῶν λόγον, εἶναι δὲ δυνατὸν ὑπὸ τὴν τοῦ βασιλέως ἐξουσίαν πεσεῖν ἅπαντα ταῦτα.

и҆ возвѣстѝ є҆мꙋ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ бога́тствы неисче́тными напо́лнено є҆́сть во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ сокро́вищное храни́лище, ꙗ҆́кѡ мно́жествꙋ сокро́вищъ безчи́сленꙋ бы́ти, и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ не надлежа́тъ сїѧ̑ къ винѣ̀ же́ртвъ, бы́ти же мо́щно, да под̾ вла́сть царе́вꙋ подпадꙋ́тъ всѧ̑ сїѧ̑.

Now when Apollonius came to the king, and had shewed him of the money whereof he was told, the king chose out Heliodorus his treasurer, and sent him with a commandment to bring him the foresaid money.

συμμείξας δὲ ὁ ᾿Απολλώνιος τῷ βασιλεῖ περὶ τῶν μηνυθέντων αὐτῷ χρημάτων ἐνεφάνισεν· ὁ δὲ προχειρισάμενος ῾Ηλιόδωρον τὸν ἐπὶ τῶν πραγμάτων ἀπέστειλε δοὺς ἐντολὰς τὴν τῶν προειρημένων χρημάτων ἐκκομιδὴν ποιήσασθαι.

Є҆гда́ же прїи́де ко царю̀ а҆поллѡ́нїй, ѡ҆ возвѣще́нныхъ є҆мꙋ̀ бога́тствахъ и҆з̾ѧвѝ: ѻ҆́нъ же и҆збра́въ и҆лїодѡ́ра, и҆́же бѣ̀ над̾ дѣла́ми є҆гѡ̀, посла̀ заповѣ́давъ, да предречє́ннаѧ бога̑тства принесе́тъ.

So forthwith Heliodorus took his journey; under a colour of visiting the cities of Celosyria and Phenice, but indeed to fulfil the king’s purpose.

εὐθέως δὲ ὁ ῾Ηλιόδωρος ἐποιεῖτο τὴν πορείαν, τῇ μὲν ἐμφάσει ὡς τὰς κατὰ Κοίλην Συρίαν καὶ Φοινίκην πόλεις ἐφοδεύσων, τῷ πράγματι δὲ τὴν τοῦ βασιλέως πρόθεσιν ἐπιτελέσων.

Ско́рѡ же и҆лїодѡ́ръ творѧ́ше ше́ствїе, под̾ ви́домъ ᲂу҆́бѡ а҆́кибы гра́ды кїлисѷрі̑йскїѧ и҆ фїнїкі̑йскїѧ проходѧ̀, са́мою же ве́щїю царе́во повелѣ́нїе и҆спо́лнити хотѧ́щь.

And when he was come to Jerusalem, and had been courteously received of the high priest of the city, he told him what intelligence was given of the money, and declared wherefore he came, and asked if these things were so indeed.

παραγενηθεὶς δὲ εἰς ῾Ιεροσόλυμα καὶ φιλοφρόνως ὑπὸ τοῦ ἀρχιερέως τῆς πόλεως ἀποδεχθείς, ἀνέθετο περὶ τοῦ γεγονότος ἐμφανισμοῦ, καὶ τίνος ἕνεκεν πάρεστι διεσάφησεν· ἐπυνθάνετο δέ, εἰ ταῖς ἀληθείας ταῦτα οὕτως ἔχοντα τυγχάνει.

Прише́дъ же во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ и҆ любомꙋ́дреннѡ ѿ а҆рхїере́а гра́дскагѡ прїѧ́тъ, повѣ́да ѡ҆ бы́вшемъ и҆з̾ѧвле́нїи, и҆ чесѡ̀ ра́ди прїи́де, сказа̀: вопроша́ше же, а҆́ще и҆́стиннѡ сїѧ̑ та́кѡ сꙋ́ть.

Then the high priest told him that there was such money laid up for the relief of widows and fatherless children:

τοῦ δὲ ἀρχιερέως ὑποδείξαντος παραθήκας εἶναι χηρῶν τε καὶ ὀρφανῶν,

Тогда̀ а҆рхїере́й показа̀ положє́на бы́ти сїѧ̑ вдѡ́въ и҆ сиро́тъ,

And that some of it belonged to Hircanus son of Tobias, a man of great dignity, and not as that wicked Simon had misinformed: the sum whereof in all was four hundred talents of silver, and two hundred of gold:

τινὰ δὲ καὶ ῾Υρκανοῦ τοῦ Τωβίου σφόδρα ἀνδρὸς ἐν ὑπεροχῇ κειμένου —οὐχ ὥσπερ ἦν διαβάλλων ὁ δυσεβὴς Σίμων— τὰ δὲ πάντα ἀργυρίου τετρακόσια τάλαντα, χρυσίου δὲ διακόσια·

нѣ̑каѧ же бы́ти и҆ ѵ҆рка́на сы́на тѡві́ина мꙋ́жа ѕѣлѡ̀ че́стна, а҆ не ꙗ҆́коже бѣ̀ ѡ҆болга́ѧй нечести́вый сі́мѡнъ, всегѡ́ же сребра̀ тала̑нтъ четы́реста, а҆ зла́та двѣ́стѣ:

And that it was altogether impossible that such wrongs should be done unto them, that had committed it to the holiness of the place, and to the majesty and inviolable sanctity of the temple, honoured over all the world.

ἀδικηθῆναι δὲ τοὺς πεπιστευκότας τῇ τοῦ τόπου ἁγιωσύνῃ καὶ τῇ τοῦ τετιμημένου κατὰ τὸν σύμπαντα κόσμον ἱεροῦ σεμνότητι καὶ ἀσυλίᾳ παντελῶς ἀμήχανον εἶναι.

ѡ҆би́дѣти же ввѣ́рившихъ мѣ́ста ст҃ы́ни, и҆ че́стности и҆ без̾ѡпа́сствꙋ честны́ѧ по всемꙋ̀ мі́рꙋ це́ркве, весьма̀ не возмо́жно є҆́сть.

But Heliodorus, because of the king’s commandment given him, said, That in any wise it must be brought into the king’s treasury.

ὁ δὲ ῾Ηλιόδωρος, δι᾿ ἃς εἶχε βασιλικὰς ἐντολάς, πάντως ἔλεγεν εἰς τὸ βασιλικὸν ἀναληπτέα ταῦτα εἶναι.

И҆лїодѡ́ръ же, ца́рскихъ ра́ди повелѣ́нїй, и҆̀хже и҆мѧ́ше, глаго́лаше, ꙗ҆́кѡ всѧ́чески подоба́етъ взѧ́ти сїѧ̑ въ ца́рское сокро́вище.

So at the day which he appointed he entered in to order this matter: wherefore there was no small agony throughout the whole city.

ταξάμενος δὲ ἡμέραν εἰσήει τὴν περὶ τούτων ἐπίσκεψιν οἰκονομήσων· ἦν δὲ οὐ μικρὰ καθ᾿ ὅλην τὴν πόλιν ἀγωνία.

Ѡ҆предѣли́въ же де́нь, вхожда́ше, присмотре́нїе ѡ҆ си́хъ хотѧ̀ сотвори́ти: бѣ́ же не ма́ло по всемꙋ̀ гра́дꙋ смѧте́нїе.

But the priests, prostrating themselves before the altar in their priests’ vestments, called unto heaven upon him that made a law concerning things given to be kept, that they should safely be preserved for such as had committed them to be kept.

οἱ δὲ ἱερεῖς πρὸ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου ἐν ταῖς ἱερατικαῖς στολαῖς ῥίψαντες ἑαυτούς, ἐπεκαλοῦντο εἰς οὐρανὸν τὸν περὶ παραθήκης νομοθετήσαντα τοῖς παρακαταθεμένοις ταῦτα σῷα διαφυλάξαι.

Свѧще́нницы же пред̾ ѻ҆лтаре́мъ въ свѧще́нническихъ ри́захъ пове́ргше себѐ, призыва́хꙋ съ небесѐ да́вшаго зако́нъ ѡ҆ положе́нныхъ, дабы̀ положи́вшымъ сїѧ̑ цѣ́лѡ сохрани́лъ.

Then whoso had looked the high priest in the face, it would have wounded his heart: for his countenance and the changing of his colour declared the inward agony of his mind.

ἦν δὲ ὁρῶντα τὴν τοῦ ἀρχιερέως ἰδέαν τιτρώσκεσθαι τὴν διάνοιαν· ἡ γὰρ ὄψις καὶ τὸ τῆς χρόας παρηλλαγμένον ἐνέφαινε τὴν κατὰ ψυχὴν ἀγωνίαν.

Бѣ́ же зрѧ́щемꙋ лицѐ а҆рхїере́ево ᲂу҆звлѧ́тисѧ мы́слїю: зра́къ бо и҆ ви́дъ и҆змѣне́нъ ꙗ҆влѧ́ше дꙋше́внꙋю тꙋгꙋ̀.

For the man was so compassed with fear and horror of the body, that it was manifest to them that looked upon him, what sorrow he had now in his heart.

περιεκέχυτο γὰρ περὶ τὸν ἄνδρα δέος τι καὶ φρικασμὸς σώματος, δι᾿ ὧν πρόδηλον ἐγίνετο τοῖς θεωροῦσι τὸ κατὰ καρδίαν ἐνεστὸς ἄλγος.

Ѡ҆блїѧ́ бо мꙋ́жа боѧ́знь нѣ́каѧ и҆ стра́хъ тѣле́сный, и҆́миже ꙗ҆вле́нна бы́сть зрѧ́щымъ се́рдца настоѧ́щаѧ болѣ́знь.

Others ran flocking out of their houses to the general supplication, because the place was like to come into contempt.

οἱ δὲ ἐκ τῶν οἰκιῶν ἀγεληδὸν ἐξεπήδων ἐπὶ πάνδημον ἱκετείαν, διὰ τὸ μέλλειν εἰς καταφρόνησιν ἔρχεσθαι τὸν τόπον.

И҆ні́и же кꙋ́пнѡ и҆з̾ домѡ́въ и҆стека́хꙋ на всенаро́днꙋю моли́твꙋ, занѐ хотѧ́ше прїитѝ мѣ́сто въ порꙋга́нїе.

And the women, girt with sackcloth under their breasts, abounded in the streets, and the virgins that were kept in ran, some to the gates, and some to the walls, and others looked out of the windows.

ὑπεζωσμέναι δὲ ὑπὸ τοὺς μαστοὺς αἱ γυναῖκες σάκκους κατὰ τὰς ὁδοὺς ἐπλήθυον· αἱ δὲ κατάκλειστοι τῶν παρθένων, αἱ μὲν συνέτρεχον ἐπὶ τοὺς πυλῶνας, αἱ δὲ ἐπὶ τὰ τείχη, τινὲς δὲ διὰ τῶν θυρίδων διεξέκυπτον·

Жєны́ же препоѧ́савшѧсѧ по пе́рсемъ власѧни́цами на пꙋте́хъ ᲂу҆множа́хꙋсѧ: заключє́ныѧ же дѣви̑цы є҆ди̑ны ᲂу҆́бѡ прибѣга́хꙋ ко вратѡ́мъ, и҆ны̑ѧ же на стѣ́ны, нѣ̑кїѧ же ѻ҆ко́нцами приница́хꙋ.

And all, holding their hands toward heaven, made supplication.

πᾶσαι δὲ προτείνουσαι τὰς χεῖρας εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν ἐποιοῦντο τὴν λιτανείαν·

Вси́ же воздѣва́юще рꙋ́цѣ на не́бо молѧ́хꙋсѧ.

Then it would have pitied a man to see the falling down of the multitude of all sorts, and the fear of the high priest being in such an agony.

ἐλεεῖν δ᾿ ἦν τὴν τοῦ πλήθους παμμιγῆ πρόπτωσιν τήν τε τοῦ μεγάλου διαγωνιῶντος ἀρχιερέως προσδοκίαν.

Оу҆мили́тельно же бѣ̀ мно́жества смѣше́ное паде́нїе и҆ ѕѣлѡ̀ бѣ́дствꙋющагѡ а҆рхїере́а ча́ѧнїе.

They then called upon the Almighty Lord to keep the things committed of trust safe and sure for those that had committed them.

οἱ μὲν οὖν ἐπεκαλοῦντο τὸν παντοκράτορα Θεὸν τὰ πεπιστευμένα τοῖς πεπιστευκόσι σῶα διαφυλάσσειν μετὰ πάσης ἀσφαλείας,

И҆ сі́и ᲂу҆̀бо призыва́хꙋ Вседержи́телѧ бг҃а, да ввѣ́рєннаѧ ввѣ́рившымъ цѣ̑ла сохрани́тъ со всѧ́кимъ без̾ѡпа́сствомъ.

Nevertheless Heliodorus executed that which was decreed.

ὁ δὲ ῾Ηλιόδωρος τὸ διεγνωσμένον ἐπετέλει.

И҆лїодѡ́ръ же є҆́же ᲂу҆мы́сли, соверша́ше: та́може є҆мꙋ̀ со копїенѡ́сцы въ газофѷла́кїю ᲂу҆жѐ прише́дшꙋ,

Now as he was there present himself with his guard about the treasury, the Lord of spirits, and the Prince of all power, caused a great apparition, so that all that presumed to come in with him were astonished at the power of God, and fainted, and were sore afraid.

αὐτόθι δὲ αὐτοῦ σὺν τοῖς δορυφόροις κατὰ τὸ γαζοφυλάκιον ἤδη παρόντος, ὁ τῶν πατέρων Κύριος καὶ πάσης ἐξουσίας δυνάστης ἐπιφάνειαν μεγάλην ἐποίησεν, ὥστε πάντας τοὺς κατοτολμήσαντας συνελθεῖν, καταπλαγέντας τὴν τοῦ Θεοῦ δύναμιν, εἰς ἔκλυσιν καὶ δειλίαν τραπῆναι.

(Вседержи́тель) ѻ҆тцє́въ гдⷭ҇ь и҆ всѧ́кїѧ вла́сти ѡ҆блада́тель ꙗ҆вле́нїе ве́лїе сотворѝ, ꙗ҆́кѡ всѣ̑мъ дерзнꙋ́вшымъ совни́ти ᲂу҆жаснꙋ́вшымсѧ бж҃їѧ си́лы, во ѡ҆слабле́нїе и҆ во ᲂу҆́жасъ премѣни́тисѧ.

For there appeared unto them an horse with a terrible rider upon him, and adorned with a very fair covering, and he ran fiercely, and smote at Heliodorus with his forefeet, and it seemed that he that sat upon the horse had complete harness of gold.

ὤφθη γάρ τις ἵππος αὐτοῖς φοβερὸν ἔχων τὸν ἐπιβάτην καὶ καλλίστῃ σαγῇ διακεκοσμημένος, φερόμενος δὲ ρύδην ἐνέσεισε τῷ ῾Ηλιοδώρῳ τὰς ἐμπροσθίους ὁπλάς· ὁ δὲ ἐπικαθήμενος ἐφαίνετο χρυσῆν πανοπλίαν ἔχων.

Ꙗ҆ви́сѧ бо и҆̀мъ нѣ́кїй ко́нь стра́шна и҆мѣ́ѧ вса́дника и҆ предо́брымъ покро́вомъ ᲂу҆кра́шенъ, напа́дъ же со ᲂу҆стремле́нїемъ вонзѐ во и҆лїодѡ́ра прє́днѧѧ кѡпы́та: сѣдѧ́й же на не́мъ ꙗ҆влѧ́шесѧ зла́то ѻ҆рꙋ́жїе и҆мѣ́ѧ.

Moreover two other young men appeared before him, notable in strength, excellent in beauty, and comely in apparel, who stood by him on either side; and scourged him continually, and gave him many sore stripes.

ἕτεροι δὲ δύο προεφάνησαν αὐτῷ νεανίαι τῇ ρώμῃ μὲν ἐκπρεπεῖς, κάλλιστοι δὲ τῇ δόξῃ, διαπρεπεῖς δὲ τὴν περιβολήν, οἳ καὶ παραστάντες ἐξ ἑκατέρου μέρους ἐμαστίγουν αὐτὸν ἀδιαλείπτως, πολλὰς ἐπιρριπτοῦντες αὐτῷ πληγάς.

и҆ні́и же два̀ ꙗ҆ви́стасѧ є҆мꙋ̀ ю҆́нѡши си́лою благолѣ́пни, предо́бри сла́вою, ᲂу҆кра́шени же ѡ҆дѣѧ́нїемъ: и҆̀же и҆ ѡ҆бстꙋ̑пльша є҆го̀ ѿ ѻ҆бои́хъ стра́нъ, бїѧ́ста є҆го̀ непреста́ннѡ, мнѡ́ги налага̑юща є҆мꙋ̀ ра̑ны.

And Heliodorus fell suddenly unto the ground, and was compassed with great darkness: but they that were with him took him up, and put him into a litter.

ἄφνω δὲ πεσόντα πρὸς τὴν γῆν καὶ πολλῷ σκότει περιχυθέντα συναρπάσαντες καὶ εἰς φορεῖον ἐνθέντες

Внеза́пꙋ же (и҆лїодѡ́ра) па́дша на зе́млю и҆ мно́гою тьмо́ю ѡ҆б̾ѧ́та восхи́тивше и҆ на носи́ло положи́вше,

Thus him, that lately came with a great train and with all his guard into the said treasury, they carried out, being unable to help himself with his weapons: and manifestly they acknowledged the power of God.

τὸν ἄρτι μετὰ πολλῆς παραδρομῆς καὶ πάσης δορυφορίας εἰς τὸ προειρημένον εἰσελθόντα γαζοφυλάκιον ἔφερον ἀβοήθητον ἑαυτῷ καθεστῶτα, φανερῶς τὴν τοῦ Θεοῦ δυναστείαν ἐπεγνωκότες.

того̀, и҆́же неда́внѡ со мно́гимъ риста́нїемъ и҆ со всѧ́кимъ дорѷноше́нїемъ {копїеноше́нїемъ} въ предрече́ннꙋю вни́де газофѷла́кїю, и҆зноша́хꙋ безпомо́щна себѣ̀ сꙋ́ща, ꙗ҆́внѡ бж҃їю си́лꙋ позна́вше.

For he by the hand of God was cast down, and lay speechless without all hope of life.

καὶ ὁ μὲν διὰ τὴν θείαν ἐνέργειαν ἄφωνος καὶ πάσης ἐστερημένος ἐλπίδος καὶ σωτηρίας ἔρριπτο,

И҆ то́й ᲂу҆́бѡ бжⷭ҇твеннымъ дѣ́йствомъ безгла́сенъ и҆ всѧ́кагѡ ᲂу҆пова́нїѧ и҆ спасе́нїѧ лише́нъ пове́рженъ бѧ́ше.

But they praised the Lord, that had miraculously honoured his own place: for the temple; which a little afore was full of fear and trouble, when the Almighty Lord appeared, was filled with joy and gladness.

οἱ δὲ τὸν Κύριον εὐλόγουν τὸν παραδοξάζοντα τὸν ἑαυτοῦ τόπον, καὶ τὸ μικρῷ πρότερον δέους καὶ ταραχῆς γέμον ἱερὸν τοῦ παντοκράτορος ἐπιφανέντος Κυρίου χαρᾶς καὶ εὐφροσύνης ἐπεπλήρωτο.

Сі́и же гдⷭ҇а благословлѧ́хꙋ просла́вльшаго своѐ мѣ́сто: и҆ ма́лымъ пре́жде стра́ха и҆ смѧте́нїѧ по́лнаѧ це́рковь, Вседержи́телю ꙗ҆́вльшꙋсѧ гдⷭ҇ꙋ, ра́дости и҆ весе́лїѧ и҆спо́лнисѧ.

Then straightways certain of Heliodorus’ friends prayed Onias, that he would call upon the most High to grant him his life, who lay ready to give up the ghost.

ταχὺ δέ τινες τῶν τοῦ ῾Ηλιοδώρου συνήθων ἠξίουν τὸν ᾿Ονίαν ἐπικαλέσασθαι τὸν ῞Υψιστον καὶ τὸ ζῆν χαρίσασθαι τῷ παντελῶς ἐν ἐσχάτῃ πνοῇ κειμένῳ.

Ско́рѡ же нѣ́цыи ѿ дрꙋгѡ́въ и҆лїодѡ́ровыхъ молѧ́хꙋ ѻ҆ні́ю призва́ти вы́шнѧго, да живо́тъ да́рꙋетъ є҆мꙋ̀ весьма̀ въ послѣ́днемъ и҆здыха́нїи лежа́щемꙋ.

So the high priest, suspecting lest the king should misconceive that some treachery had been done to Heliodorus by the Jews, offered a sacrifice for the health of the man.

ὕποπτος δὲ γενόμενος ὁ ἀρχιερεύς, μήποτε διάληψιν ὁ βασιλεὺς σχῇ κακουργίαν τινὰ περὶ τὸν ῾Ηλιόδωρον ὑπὸ τῶν ᾿Ιουδαίων συντετελέσθαι, προσήγαγε θυσίαν ὑπὲρ τῆς τοῦ ἀνδρὸς σωτηρίας.

Помы́сливъ же а҆рхїере́й, да не когда̀ ца́рь мнѣ́нїе воз̾имѣ́етъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѕлодѣ́йство нѣ́кое на и҆лїодѡ́ра і҆ꙋде́є сотвори́ша, принесѐ же́ртвꙋ ѡ҆ спасе́нїи мꙋ́жа.

Now as the high priest was making an atonement, the same young men in the same clothing appeared and stood beside Heliodorus, saying, Give Onias the high priest great thanks, insomuch as for his sake the Lord hath granted thee life:

ποιουμένου δὲ τοῦ ἀρχιερέως τὸν ἱλασμόν, οἱ αὐτοὶ νεανίαι πάλιν ἐνεφάνησαν τῷ ῾Ηλιοδώρῳ ἐν ταῖς αὐταῖς ἐσθήσεσιν ἐστολισμένοι καὶ στάντες εἶπον· πολλὰς τῷ ᾿Ονίᾳ τῷ ἀρχιερεῖ χάριτας ἔχε, διὰ γὰρ αὐτόν σοι κεχάρισται τὸ ζῆν ὁ Κύριος·

Є҆гда́ же а҆рхїере́й молѧ́шесѧ, ті́ижде ю҆́нѡши па́ки ꙗ҆ви́стасѧ и҆лїодѡ́рꙋ тѣ́мижде ѡ҆дѣѧ́ньми ѡ҆блечє́на и҆ ста̑вша рѣ́ста: мнѡ́гаѧ ѻ҆ні́и а҆рхїере́ю благодарє́нїѧ возда́ждь, є҆гѡ́ бо ра́ди гдⷭ҇ь тебѣ̀ живо́тъ дарова̀:

And seeing that thou hast been scourged from heaven, declare unto all men the mighty power of God. And when they had spoken these words, they appeared no more.

σὺ δὲ ὑπ᾿ αὐτοῦ μεμαστιγωμένος διάγγελλε πᾶσι τὸ μεγαλεῖον τοῦ Θεοῦ κράτος. ταῦτα δὲ εἰπόντες ἀφανεῖς ἐγένοντο.

ты́ же ѿ негѡ̀ бїе́нъ возвѣстѝ всѣ̑мъ вели́чїе бж҃їе и҆ держа́вꙋ. И҆ сїѧ̑ рє́кша неви́дими бы́ста.

So Heliodorus, after he had offered sacrifice unto the Lord, and made great vows unto him that had saved his life, and saluted Onias, returned with his host to the king.

ὁ δὲ ῾Ηλιόδωρος θυσίαν ἀνενέγκας τῷ Κυρίῳ καὶ εὐχὰς μεγίστας εὐξάμενος τῷ τὸ ζῆν περιποιήσαντι καὶ τὸν ᾿Ονίαν ἀποδεξάμενος, ἀνεστρατοπέδευσε πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα.

и҆лїодѡ́ръ же же́ртвꙋ прине́съ гдⷭ҇еви, и҆ ѡ҆бѣ́ты превели̑кїѧ ѡ҆бѣща́въ живо́тъ дарова́вшемꙋ, и҆ ѻ҆ні́и возблагодари́въ, возврати́сѧ ко царю̀ съ вѡ́ины,

Then testified he to all men the works of the great God, which he had seen with his eyes.

ἐξεμαρτύρει δὲ πᾶσιν ἅπερ ἦν ὑπ᾿ ὄψιν τεθεαμένος ἔργα τοῦ μεγίστου Θεοῦ.

свидѣ́тельствоваше же всѣ̑мъ, ꙗ҆̀же ви́дѣ ѻ҆чи́ма дѣла̀ превели́кагѡ бг҃а.

And when the king Heliodorus, who might be a fit man to be sent yet once again to Jerusalem, he said,

τοῦ δὲ βασιλέως ἐπερωτήσαντος τὸν ῾Ηλιόδωρον ποῖός τις εἴη ἐπιτήδειος ἔτι ἅπαξ διαπεμφθῆναι εἰς ῾Ιεροσόλυμα, ἔφησεν·

Є҆гда́ же ца́рь вопроша́ше и҆лїодѡ́ра, кто̀ бы́лъ бы ключи́мь є҆щѐ є҆ди́ною во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ по́сланъ бы́ти, ѿвѣща̀:

If thou hast any enemy or traitor, send him thither, and thou shalt receive him well scourged, if he escape with his life: for in that place, no doubt; there is an especial power of God.

εἴ τινα ἔχεις πολέμιον ἢ πραγμάτων ἐπίβουλον, πέμψον αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ, καὶ μεμαστιγωμένον αὐτὸν προσδέξῃ, ἐάν περ καὶ διασωθείη, διὰ τὸ περὶ τὸν τόπον ἀληθῶς εἶναί τινα Θεοῦ δύναμιν·

а҆́ще ко́его и҆́маши врага̀, и҆лѝ ца́рствꙋ твоемꙋ̀ навѣ́тника, послѝ є҆го̀ ѻ҆на́мѡ, и҆ ꙗ҆́звена є҆го̀ прїи́меши, а҆́ще и҆ спасе́тсѧ: занѐ въ мѣ́стѣ то́мъ и҆́стиннѡ є҆́сть бж҃їѧ нѣ́каѧ си́ла:

For he that dwelleth in heaven hath his eye on that place, and defendeth it; and he beateth and destroyeth them that come to hurt it.

αὐτὸς γὰρ ὁ τὴν κατοικίαν ἐπουράνιον ἔχων, ἐπόπτης ἐστὶ καὶ βοηθὸς ἐκείνου τοῦ τόπου καὶ τοὺς παραγινομένους ἐπὶ κακώσει τύπτων ἀπόλλυσι.

то́й бо ѡ҆бита́нїе на нб҃сѝ и҆мѣ́ѧй надзира́тель є҆́сть и҆ помо́щникъ мѣ́стꙋ томꙋ̀, и҆ грѧдꙋ́щихъ на ѡ҆ѕлобле́нїе поража́етъ и҆ погꙋблѧ́етъ.

And the things concerning Heliodorus, and the keeping of the treasury, fell out on this sort.
