2 Maccabees 4

This Simon now, of whom we spake afore, having been a betrayer of the money, and of his country, slandered Onias, as if he had terrified Heliodorus, and been the worker of these evils.

Ο δὲ προειρημένος Σίμων, ὁ τῶν χρημάτων καὶ τῆς πατρίδος ἐνδείκτης γεγονώς, ἐκακολόγει τὸν ᾿Ονίαν, ὡς αὐτός τε εἴη τὸν ῾Ηλιόδωρον ἐπισεσεικὼς καὶ τῶν κακῶν δημιουργὸς καθεστηκώς,

Предрече́нный же сі́мѡнъ, и҆́же ѡ҆ сре́бреницѣхъ и҆ ѻ҆те́чествѣ доноси́тель сотвори́сѧ, ѕлосло́вѧше ѻ҆ні́ю, а҆́кибы то́й и҆лїодѡ́ра и҆ поѡщрѧ́лъ къ си̑мъ и҆ ѕло́бъ содѣ́тель бы́лъ.

Thus was he bold to call him a traitor, that had deserved well of the city, and tendered his own nation, and was so zealous of the laws.

καὶ τὸν εὐεργέτην τῆς πόλεως καὶ τὸν κηδεμόνα τῶν ὁμοεθνῶν καὶ ζηλωτὴν τῶν νόμων ἐπίβουλον τῶν πραγμάτων ἐτόλμα λέγειν.

И҆ благодѣ́телѧ гра́дꙋ и҆ защи́тника свои́хъ люді́й и҆ ревни́телѧ зако́нѡвъ (бж҃їихъ) дерза́ше нарица́ти навѣ́тникомъ веще́й.

But when their hatred went so far, that by one of Simon’s faction murders were committed,

τῆς δὲ ἔχθρας ἐπὶ τοσοῦτον προβαινούσης, ὥστε καὶ διά τινος τῶν ὑπὸ τοῦ Σίμωνος δεδοκιμασμένων φόνους συντελεῖσθαι,

Враждѣ́ же въ толи́ко происходѧ́щей, ꙗ҆́кѡ чрез̾ нѣ́коего ѿ дрꙋгѡ́въ сі́мѡновыхъ и҆ ᲂу҆бі̑йства соверша́хꙋсѧ,

Onias seeing the danger of this contention, and that Apollonius, as being the governor of Celosyria and Phenice, did rage, and increase Simon’s malice,

συνορῶν ὁ ᾿Ονίας τὸ χαλεπὸν τῆς φιλονεικίας καὶ ᾿Απολλώνιον τὸν Μενεσθέως τὸν Κοίλης Συρίας καὶ Φοινίκης στρατηγὸν συναύξοντα τὴν κακίαν τοῦ Σίμωνος,

созерца́ѧ ѻ҆ні́а лю́тость прѣ́нїѧ, и҆ а҆поллѡ́нїа неи́стовствовати, ꙗ҆́кѡ кїлисѷрі́и и҆ фїнїкі́и воево́дꙋ, ᲂу҆множа́юща ѕло́бꙋ сі́мѡновꙋ, ко царю̀ ѿи́де,

He went to the king, not to be an accuser of his countrymen, but seeking the good of all, both publick and private:

πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα διεκομίσθη οὐ γινόμενος τῶν πολιτῶν κατήγορος, τὸ δὲ συμφέρον κοινῇ καὶ κατ᾿ ἰδίαν παντὶ τῷ πλήθει σκοπῶν·

не быва́ѧй гра́жданъ клеветни́къ, но по́льзꙋ во ѻ҆́бществѣ и҆ на є҆ди́нѣ всемꙋ̀ мно́жествꙋ промышлѧ́ѧ:

For he saw that it was impossible that the state should continue quiet, and Simon leave his folly, unless the king did look thereunto.

ἑώρα γὰρ ἄνευ βασιλικῆς προνοίας ἀδύνατον εἶναι τυχεῖν εἰρήνης ἔτι τὰ πράγματα καὶ τὸν Σίμωνα παῦλαν οὐ ληψόμενον τῆς ἀνοίας.

ви́дѧше бо, ꙗ҆́кѡ без̾ царе́ва про́мысла не мо́щно полꙋчи́ти ми́ра ктомꙋ̀ веще́мъ, и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ сі́мѡнъ не ѿста́витъ бꙋ́йства.

But after the death of Seleucus, when Antiochus, called Epiphanes, took the kingdom, Jason the brother of Onias laboured underhand to be high priest,

Μεταλλάξαντος δὲ τὸν βίον Σελεύκου καὶ παραλαβόντος τὴν βασιλείαν ᾿Αντιόχου τοῦ προσαγορευθέντος ᾿Επιφανοῦς, ὑπενόθευσεν ᾿Ιάσων ὁ ἀδελφὸς ᾿Ονίου τὴν ἀρχιερωσύνην,

Ѡ҆ста́вльшꙋ же житїѐ селе́ѵкꙋ и҆ прїе́мшꙋ ца́рство а҆нтїо́хꙋ, и҆́же нарица́шесѧ є҆пїфа́нъ, жела́ше і҆асѡ́нъ бра́тъ ѻ҆ні́инъ а҆рхїере́йства,

Promising unto the king by intercession three hundred and threescore talents of silver, and of another revenue eighty talents:

ἐπαγγειλάμενος τῷ βασιλεῖ δι᾿ ἐντεύξεως ἀργυρίου τάλαντα ἑξήκοντα πρὸς τοῖς τριακοσίοις καὶ προσόδου τινὸς ἄλλης τάλαντα ὀγδοήκοντα.

вни́де ко царю̀, ѡ҆бѣщава́ѧ є҆мꙋ̀ сребра̀ тала̑нтъ три́ста шестьдесѧ́тъ и҆ ѿ прихо́дѡвъ нѣ́кїихъ и҆ны́хъ тала̑нтъ ѻ҆́смьдесѧтъ.

Beside this, he promised to assign an hundred and fifty more, if he might have licence to set him up a place for exercise, and for the training up of youth in the fashions of the heathen, and to write them of Jerusalem by the name of Antiochians.

πρὸς δὲ τούτοις ὑπισχνεῖτο καὶ ἕτερα διαγράψαι πεντήκοντα πρὸς τοῖς ἑκατόν, ἐὰν συγχωρηθῇ διὰ τῆς ἐξουσίας αὐτοῦ γυμνάσιον καὶ ἐφηβεῖον αὐτῷ συστήσασθαι καὶ τοὺς ἐν ῾Ιεροσολύμοις ᾿Αντιοχεῖς ἀναγράψαι.

Къ си̑мъ же ѡ҆бѣщава́ше и҆ и҆ны́хъ написа́ти сто̀ пѧтьдесѧ́тъ, а҆́ще пода́стсѧ вла́стїю є҆гѡ̀ ᲂу҆чи́лище ю҆́ныхъ є҆мꙋ̀ поста́вити и҆ сꙋ́щихъ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ а҆нтїохі́анами писа́ти.

Which when the king had granted, and he had gotten into his hand the rule he forthwith brought his own nation to Greekish fashion.

ἐπινεύσαντος δὲ τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τῆς ἀρχῆς κρατήσας, εὐθέως ἐπὶ τὸν ῾Ελληνικὸν χαρακτῆρα τοὺς ὁμοφύλους μετῆγε

Соизво́лившꙋ же царю̀, и҆ нача́льство ѡ҆держа́въ, а҆́бїе на ꙗ҆зы́ческїй ѡ҆бы́чай є҆диноплемє́нныѧ своѧ̑ преводи́ти нача̀.

And the royal privileges granted of special favour to the Jews by the means of John the father of Eupolemus, who went ambassador to Rome for amity and aid, he took away; and putting down the governments which were according to the law, he brought up new customs against the law:

καὶ τὰ κείμενα τοῖς ᾿Ιουδαίοις φιλάνθρωπα βασιλικὰ διὰ ᾿Ιωάννου τοῦ πατρὸς Εὐπολέμου, τοῦ ποιησαμένου τὴν πρεσβείαν ὑπὲρ φιλίας καὶ συμμαχίας πρὸς τοὺς Ῥωμαίους, παρώσατο. καὶ τὰς μὲν νομίμους καταλύων πολιτείας, παρανόμους ἐθισμοὺς ἐκαίνιζεν·

И҆ ᲂу҆ста́влєннаѧ і҆ꙋде́ѡмъ человѣколю̑бїѧ ца̑рскаѧ чрез̾ і҆ѡа́нна ѻ҆тца̀ є҆ѵполе́ма, и҆́же бѧ́ше посло́мъ ѡ҆ дрꙋ́жбѣ и҆ споборе́нїи къ ри́млѧнѡмъ, ѿри́нꙋ: и҆ закѡ́нныѧ ᲂу҆́бѡ гражда̑нскїѧ разорѧ́ѧ ᲂу҆ста́вы, беззакѡ́нныѧ ѡ҆бы̑чаи нововвожда́ше.

For he built gladly a place of exercise under the tower itself, and brought the chief young men under his subjection, and made them wear a hat.

ἀσμένως γὰρ ὑπ᾿ αὐτὴν τὴν ἀκρόπολιν γυμνάσιον καθίδρυσε καὶ τοὺς κρατίστους τῶν ἐφήβων ὑποτάσσων ὑπὸ πέτασον ἦγεν.

Тща́тельнѣ бо под̾ са́мымъ краегра́дїемъ ᲂу҆чи́лище поста́ви, и҆ и҆зрѧ́днѣйшихъ ю҆́ношъ покори́въ, под̾ пета́съ ввожда́ше.

Now such was the height of Greek fashions, and increase of heathenish manners, through the exceeding profaneness of Jason, that ungodly wretch, and no high priest;

ἦν δ᾿ οὕτως ἀκμή τις ῾Ελληνισμοῦ καὶ πρόσβασις ἀλλοφυλισμοῦ διὰ τὴν τοῦ ἀσεβοῦς καὶ οὐκ ἀρχιερέως ᾿Ιάσωνος ὑπερβάλλουσαν ἀναγνείαν,

И҆ си́це бѣ̀ ᲂу҆се́рдїе нѣ́кое ко є҆́ллинствꙋ и҆ ᲂу҆спѣ́хъ ꙗ҆зы́ческагѡ жи́тельства, ра́ди безмѣ́рнагѡ, нечести́вагѡ, а҆ не а҆рхїере́а і҆асѡ́на, беззако́нїѧ.

That the priests had no courage to serve any more at the altar, but despising the temple, and neglecting the sacrifices, hastened to be partakers of the unlawful allowance in the place of exercise, after the game of Discus called them forth;

ὥστε μηκέτι περὶ τὰς τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου λειτουργίας προθύμους εἶναι τοὺς ἱερεῖς, ἀλλὰ τοῦ μὲν ναοῦ καταφρονοῦντες καὶ τῶν θυσιῶν ἀμελοῦντες ἔσπευδον μετέχειν τῆς ἐν παλαίστρᾳ παρανόμου χορηγίας μετὰ τὴν τοῦ δίσκου πρόκλησιν,

Ꙗ҆́кѡ не ктомꙋ̀ ѡ҆ слꙋ́жбахъ ѻ҆лта́рныхъ ᲂу҆се́рдни бѧ́хꙋ жерцы̀, но хра́мъ ᲂу҆́бѡ презира́юще и҆ ѡ҆ же́ртвахъ нерадѧ́ще, тща́хꙋсѧ прича̑стницы бы́ти пале́стрѣ беззако́ннагѡ преда́нїѧ, по произзыва́нїи и҆гра́лищнагѡ крꙋ́га.

Not setting by the honours of their fathers, but liking the glory of the Grecians best of all.

καὶ τὰς μὲν πατρῴους τιμὰς ἐν οὐδενὶ τιθέμενοι, τὰς δὲ ῾Ελληνικὰς δόξας καλλίστας ἡγούμενοι.

И҆ ѻ҆те́чєскїѧ ᲂу҆́бѡ чє́сти ни во что́же вмѣнѧ́хꙋ, є҆́ллинскїѧ же сла̑вы предѡ́бры бы́ти мнѧ́хꙋ:

By reason whereof sore calamity came upon them: for they had them to be their enemies and avengers, whose custom they followed so earnestly, and unto whom they desired to be like in all things.

ὧν χάριν περιέσχεν αὐτοὺς χαλεπὴ περίστασις, καὶ ὧν ἐζήλουν τὰς ἀγωγὰς καὶ καθάπαν ἤθελον ἐξομοιοῦσθαι, τούτους πολεμίους καὶ τιμωρητὰς ἔσχον·

и҆́хже ра́ди ѡ҆б̾ѧ́тъ ѧ҆̀ лю́тое ѡ҆бстоѧ́нїе, и҆ ѡ҆ и҆́хже ревнова́хꙋ наставле́нїихъ, и҆ весьма̀ и҆̀мъ хотѧ́хꙋ ᲂу҆подо́битисѧ си́хъ врагѡ́въ и҆ мꙋчи́телей и҆мѣ́ѧхꙋ.

For it is not a light thing to do wickedly against the laws of God: but the time following shall declare these things.

ἀσεβεῖν γὰρ εἰς τοὺς θείους νόμους οὐ ῥᾴδιον, ἀλλὰ ταῦτα ὁ ἀκόλουθος καιρὸς δηλώσει.

Нече́ствовати бо въ бжⷭ҇твенныхъ зако́нѣхъ неꙋдо́бь: но сїѧ̑ послѣ́дꙋющее вре́мѧ и҆звѣсти́тъ.

Now when the game that was used every fifth year was kept at Tyrus, the king being present,

ἀγομένου δὲ πενταετηρικοῦ ἀγῶνος ἐν Τύρῳ καὶ τοῦ βασιλέως παρόντος,

Бы́вшꙋ же пѧтолѣ́тномꙋ три́знищꙋ въ тѵ́рѣ и҆ царю̀ сꙋ́щꙋ та́мѡ,

This ungracious Jason sent special messengers from Jerusalem, who were Antiochians, to carry three hundred drachms of silver to the sacrifice of Hercules, which even the bearers thereof thought fit not to bestow upon the sacrifice, because it was not convenient, but to be reserved for other charges.

ἀπέστειλεν ᾿Ιάσων ὁ μιαρὸς θεωροὺς ἀπὸ ῾Ιεροσολύμων ᾿Αντιοχεῖς ὄντας παρακομίζοντας ἀργυρίου δραχμὰς τριακοσίας εἰς τὴν τοῦ ῾Ηρακλέους θυσίαν, ἃς καὶ ἠξίωσαν οἱ παρακομίσαντες μὴ χρῆσθαι πρὸς θυσίαν διὰ τὸ μὴ καθήκειν, εἰς ἑτέραν δὲ καταθέσθαι δαπάνην.

посла̀ і҆асѡ́нъ стꙋ́дныхъ смотри́телей и҆з̾ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́ма а҆нтїохі́аны сꙋ́щыѧ, несꙋ́щыѧ сребра̀ дїдра́хмъ три́ста въ же́ртвꙋ и҆раклі́евꙋ, ѡ҆ и҆́хже и҆ молѧ́хꙋ прине́сшїи, да не ᲂу҆потреблѧ́ютъ въ же́ртвꙋ, ꙗ҆́кѡ не досто́итъ, но во и҆ны̑ѧ росхо́ды и҆̀хъ ѿложи́ти.

This money then, in regard of the sender, was appointed to Hercules’ sacrifice; but because of the bearers thereof, it was employed to the making of gallies.

ἔπεσεν οὖν ταῦτα διὰ μὲν τὸν ἀποστείλαντα εἰς τὴν τοῦ ῾Ηρακλέους θυσίαν, ἕνεκεν δὲ τῶν παρακομιζόντων εἰς τὰς τῶν τριήρων κατασκευάς.

Посла̀ ᲂу҆̀бо сїѧ̑ ра́ди посла́вшагѡ въ же́ртвꙋ и҆раклі́евꙋ, ра́ди же прине́сшихъ на строе́нїе кораблеце́й тривесе́льныхъ.

Now when Apollonius the son of Menestheus was sent into Egypt for the coronation of king Ptolemeus Philometor, Antiochus, understanding him not to be well affected to his affairs, provided for his own safety: whereupon he came to Joppa, and from thence to Jerusalem:

ἀποσταλέντος δὲ εἰς Αἴγυπτον ᾿Απολλωνίου τοῦ Μενεσθέως διὰ τὰ πρωτοκλίσια Πτολεμαίου τοῦ Φιλομήτορος Βασιλέως, μεταλαβὼν ᾿Αντίοχος ἀλλότριον αὐτὸν τῶν αὐτῶν γεγονέναι πραγμάτων, τῆς καθ᾿ αὑτὸν ἀσφαλείας ἐφρόντιζεν· ὅθεν εἰς ᾿Ιόππην παραγενόμενος κατήντησεν εἰς ῾Ιεροσόλυμα.

По́сланꙋ же бы́вшꙋ во є҆гѵ́петъ а҆поллѡ́нїю сы́нꙋ менесте́овꙋ ко птоломе́ю фїломе́терꙋ царю̀, торжества̀ ра́ди воспрїѧ́тїѧ престо́ла, возмнѣ́въ а҆нтїо́хъ чꙋ́жда є҆го̀ бы́ти свои́хъ веще́й, ѡ҆ свое́мъ без̾ѡпа́сствѣ печа́шесѧ: тогѡ̀ ра́ди во і҆ѻппі́ю прише́дъ, дости́же во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ.

Where he was honourably received of Jason, and of the city, and was brought in with torch alight, and with great shoutings: and so afterward went with his host unto Phenice.

μεγαλοπρεπῶς δὲ ὑπὸ τοῦ ᾿Ιάσωνος καὶ τῆς πόλεως παραδεχθείς, μετὰ δᾳδουχίας καὶ βοῶν εἰσπεπόρευται, εἶθ᾿ οὕτως εἰς τὴν Φοινίκην κατεστρατοπέδευσε.

Великолѣ́пнѡ же ѿ і҆асѡ́на и҆ гра́да прїѧ́тъ, со свѣщьмѝ свѣ́тлыми и҆ хвала́ми вни́де: та́же си́це въ фїнїкі́ю съ во́инствомъ по́йде.

Three years afterward Jason sent Menelaus, the aforesaid Simon’s brother, to bear the money unto the king, and to put him in mind of certain necessary matters.

μετὰ δὲ τριετῆ χρόνον ἀπέστειλεν ᾿Ιάσων Μενέλαον, τὸν τοῦ προσημαινομένου Σίμωνος ἀδελφόν, παρακομίζοντα τὰ χρήματα τῷ βασιλεῖ καὶ περὶ πραγμάτων ἀναγκαίων ὑπομνηματισμοὺς τελέσοντα.

По трелѣ́тнѣмъ же вре́мени посла̀ і҆асѡ́нъ менела́а бра́та предрече́ннагѡ сі́мѡна несꙋ́ща царю̀ сре́бреники и҆ ѡ҆ ве́щехъ нꙋ́жныхъ представле́нїе соверши́ти и҆мꙋ́щаго.

But he being brought to the presence of the king, when he had magnified him for the glorious appearance of his power, got the priesthood to himself, offering more than Jason by three hundred talents of silver.

ὁ δὲ συσταθεὶς τῷ βασιλεῖ καὶ δοξάσας αὐτὸν τῷ προσώπῳ τῆς ἐξουσίας, εἰς ἑαυτὸν κατήντησε τὴν ἀρχιερωσύνην, ὑπερβαλὼν τὸν ᾿Ιάσωνα τάλαντα ἀργυρίου τριακόσια.

Ѻ҆́нъ же предста́въ царю̀ и҆ возвели́чивъ є҆го̀ въ лицѐ вла́сти ра́ди, на себѐ восто́рже а҆рхїере́йство, положи́въ свы́ше і҆асѡ́на тала̑нтъ сребра̀ три́ста.

So he came with the king’s mandate, bringing nothing worthy the high priesthood, but having the fury of a cruel tyrant, and the rage of a savage beast.

λαβὼν δὲ τὰς βασιλικὰς ἐντολὰς παρεγένετο, τῆς μὲν ἀρχιερωσύνης οὐδὲν ἄξιον φέρων, θυμοὺς δὲ ὠμοῦ τυράννου καὶ θηρὸς βαρβάρου ὀργὰς ἔχων.

Прїе́мь же ѿ царѧ̀ повелѣ̑нїѧ прїи́де, ничто́же ᲂу҆́бѡ носѧ̀ досто́йно а҆рхїере́йства, ꙗ҆́рость же же́стокагѡ мꙋчи́телѧ и҆ ѕвѣ́рѧ лю́тагѡ гнѣ́въ и҆мѣ́ѧ.

Then Jason, who had undermined his own brother, being undermined by another, was compelled to flee into the country of the Ammonites.

καὶ ὁ μὲν ᾿Ιάσων ὁ τὸν ἴδιον ἀδελφὸν ὑπονοθεύσας, ὑπονοθευθεὶς ὑφ᾿ ἑτέρου, φυγὰς εἰς τὴν ᾿Αμμανῖτιν χώραν συνήλαστο.

И҆ і҆асѡ́нъ ᲂу҆́бѡ, и҆́же своего̀ бра́та ко́знїю ᲂу҆ловѝ, са́мъ ко́знїю ᲂу҆ловле́нъ ѿ и҆на́гѡ, бѣгле́цъ во а҆мані́тскꙋю странꙋ̀ и҆згна́нъ бы́сть.

So Menelaus got the principality: but as for the money that he had promised unto the king, he took no good order for it, albeit Sostratis the ruler of the castle required it:

ὁ δὲ Μενέλαος τῆς μὲν ἀρχῆς ἐκράτει, τῶν δὲ ἐπηγγελμένων τῷ βασιλεῖ χρημάτων οὐδὲν εὐτάκνει· ποιουμένου δὲ τὴν ἀπαίτησιν Σωστράτου τοῦ τῆς ἀκροπόλεως ἐπάρχου,

Менела́й же нача́льство ᲂу҆́бѡ ѡ҆держа̀, ѡ҆ сре́бреницѣхъ же царе́ви ѡ҆бѣща́нныхъ ничто́же радѧ́ше:

For unto him appertained the gathering of the customs. Wherefore they were both called before the king.

πρὸς τοῦτον γὰρ ἦν ἡ τῶν φόρων πρᾶξις, δι᾿ ἣν αἰτίαν οἱ δύο ὑπὸ τοῦ βασιλέως προσεκλήθησαν,

творѧ́щꙋ же и҆стѧза́нїе сѡстра́тꙋ краегра́дїѧ є҆па́рхꙋ, къ семꙋ́ бо надлежа́ще да́ней дѣ́ло, тоѧ̀ ра́ди вины̀ ѻ҆́ба ко царю̀ при́звани.

Now Menelaus left his brother Lysimachus in his stead in the priesthood; and Sostratus left Crates, who was governor of the Cyprians.

καὶ ὁ μὲν Μενέλαος ἀπέλιπε τῆς ἀρχιερωσύνης διάδοχον Λυσίμαχον τὸν ἑαυτοῦ ἀδελφόν, Σώστρατος δὲ Κράτητα τὸν ἐπὶ τῶν Κυπρίων.

И҆ менела́й ᲂу҆́бѡ ѡ҆ста́ви а҆рхїере́йства прее́мника лѷсїма́ха бра́та своего̀, сѡстра́тъ же крати́та, и҆́же бѣ̀ над̾ кѵ̑прѧны.

While those things were in doing, they of Tarsus and Mallos made insurrection, because they were given to the king’s concubine, called Antiochus.

τοιούτων δὲ συνεστηκότων, συνέβη Ταρσεῖς καὶ Μαλλώτας στασιάζειν διὰ τὸ ᾿Αντιοχίδι τῇ παλλακῇ τοῦ βασιλέως ἐν δωρεᾷ δεδόσθαι.

И҆ є҆гда̀ сїѧ̑ дѣ́ѧхꙋсѧ, слꙋчи́сѧ та́рсѧнѡмъ и҆ малѡ́тѡмъ крамолꙋ̀ воздви́гнꙋти, сегѡ̀ ра́ди, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆нтїохі́дѣ нало́жницѣ царе́вѣ въ да́ръ ѿда́ни бы́ша.

Then came the king in all haste to appease matters, leaving Andronicus, a man in authority, for his deputy.

θᾶττον οὖν ὁ βασιλεὺς ἧκε καταστεῖλε τὰ πράγματα, καταλιπὼν τὸν διαδεχόμενον ᾿Ανδρόνικον τῶν ἐν ἀξιώματι κειμένων.

Ско́рѡ ᲂу҆̀бо ца́рь прїи́де ᲂу҆кроти́ти ве́щы, ѡ҆ста́вѧ намѣ́стника а҆ндроні́ка є҆ди́наго ѿ кнѧзе́й свои́хъ.

Now Menelaus, supposing that he had gotten a convenient time, stole certain vessels of gold out of the temple, and gave some of them to Andronicus, and some he sold into Tyrus and the cities round about.

νομίσας δὲ ὁ Μενέλαος εἰληφέναι καιρὸν εὐφυῆ, χρυσώματά τινα τῶν τοῦ ἱεροῦ νοσφισάμενος ἐχαρίσατο τῷ ᾿Ανδρονίκῳ καὶ ἕτερα ἐτύγχανε πεπρακὼς εἴς τε Τύρον καὶ τὰς κύκλῳ πόλεις.

Возмнѣ́въ же менела́й воспрїѧ́ти себѣ̀ вре́мѧ благополꙋ́чно, златы̑ѧ нѣ̑кїѧ сосꙋ́ды ѿ це́ркве ᲂу҆кра́дъ дарова̀ а҆ндроні́кꙋ и҆ и҆́на продадѐ въ тѵ́ръ и҆ во ѡ҆крє́стныѧ гра́ды.

Which when Onias knew of a surety, he reproved him, and withdrew himself into a sanctuary at Daphne, that lieth by Antiochia.

ἃ καὶ σαφῶς ἐπεγνωκὼς ὁ ᾿Ονίας, παρήλεγχεν ἀποκεχωρηκὼς εἰς ἄσυλον τόπον ἐπὶ Δάφνης τῆς πρὸς ᾿Αντιόχειαν κειμένης.

Ꙗ҆̀же ꙗ҆́внѡ позна́въ ѻ҆ні́а, ѡ҆блича́ше є҆го̀, ѿше́дъ въ мѣ́сто без̾ѡпа́сное, въ дафні́ю бли́з̾ а҆нтїохі́и лежа́щꙋю.

Wherefore Menelaus, taking Andronicus apart, prayed, him to get Onias into his hands; who being persuaded thereunto, and coming to Onias in deceit, gave him his right hand with oaths; and though he were suspected by him, yet persuaded he him to come forth of the sanctuary: whom forthwith he shut up without regard of justice.

ὅθεν ὁ Μενέλαος λαβὼν ἰδίᾳ τὸν ᾿Ανδρόνικον, παρεκάλει χειρώσασθαι τὸν ᾿Ονίαν. ὁ δὲ παραγενόμενος ἐπὶ τὸν ᾿Ονίαν καὶ πεισθεὶς ἐπὶ δόλῳ καὶ δεξιὰς μεθ᾿ ὅρκων δούς, καίπερ ἐν ὑποψίᾳ κείμενος, ἔπεισεν ἐκ τοῦ ἀσύλου προελθεῖν, ὃν καὶ παραχρῆμα παρέκλεισεν οὐκ αἰδεσθεὶς τὸ δίκαιον.

Ѿтꙋ́дꙋ менела́й взе́мъ на є҆ди́нѣ а҆ндроні́ка, молѧ́ше да ᲂу҆бїе́тъ ѻ҆ні́ю. Ѻ҆́нъ же прише́дъ ко ѻ҆ні́и, и҆ ᲂу҆вѣща́въ ле́стїю, и҆ десни́цꙋ съ клѧ́твою да́въ, а҆́ще и҆ въ подозрѣ́нїи бѣ̀, ᲂу҆совѣ́това и҆з̾ без̾ѡпа́снагѡ мѣ́ста и҆зы́ти, є҆го́же и҆ а҆́бїе заключи́въ ᲂу҆бѝ, не ᲂу҆стыдѣ́всѧ пра́вды.

For the which cause not only the Jews, but many also of other nations, took great indignation, and were much grieved for the unjust murder of the man.

δι᾿ ἣν αἰτίαν οὐ μόνον ᾿Ιουδαῖοι, πολλοὶ δὲ καὶ τῶν ἄλλων ἐθνῶν ἐδείναζον καὶ ἐδυσφόρουν ἐπὶ τῷ τοῦ ἀνδρὸς ἀδίκῳ φόνῳ.

Сеѧ́ же ра́ди вины̀ не то́кмѡ і҆ꙋде́є, но мно́зи и҆ ѿ и҆ны́хъ ꙗ҆зы́кѡвъ негодова́хꙋ и҆ скорбѧ́хꙋ ѡ҆ непра́веднѣмъ мꙋ́жа ᲂу҆бі́йствѣ.

And when the king was come again from the places about Cilicia, the Jews that were in the city, and certain of the Greeks that abhorred the fact also, complained because Onias was slain without cause.

τοῦ δὲ βασιλέως ἐπανελθόντος ἀπὸ τῶν κατὰ Κιλικίαν τόπων, ἐνετύγχανον οἱ κατὰ πόλιν ᾿Ιουδαῖοι, συμμισοπονηρούντων καὶ τῶν ῾Ελλήνων ὑπὲρ τοῦ παρὰ λόγον τὸν ᾿Ονίαν ἀπεκτάνθαι.

Возврати́вшꙋсѧ же царю̀ ѿ кїлїкі́йскихъ мѣ́стъ, сꙋ́щїи во гра́дѣ і҆ꙋде́є пристꙋпи́ша просѧ́ще (сꙋда̀) кꙋ́пнѡ съ ненави́дѧщими беззакѡ́нїѧ є҆́ллинами ѡ҆ безви́ннѣмъ ᲂу҆бі́йствѣ ѻ҆ні́инѣ.

Therefore Antiochus was heartily sorry, and moved to pity, and wept, because of the sober and modest behaviour of him that was dead.

ψυχικῶς οὖν ὁ ᾿Αντίοχος ἐπιλυπηθεὶς καὶ τραπεὶς εἰς ἔλεον καὶ δακρύσας διὰ τὴν τοῦ μετηλλαχότος σωφροσύνην καὶ πολλὴν εὐταξίαν

Ѡ҆скорби́всѧ ᲂу҆̀бо дꙋше́ю а҆нтїо́хъ (ѻ҆ні́и ра́ди) и҆ преклони́въ на ми́лость, и҆ сле́зы и҆злїѧ́въ ѡ҆ цѣломꙋ́дрїи сконча́вшагѡсѧ и҆ ѡ҆ мно́зѣмъ благонра́вїи

And being kindled with anger, forthwith he took away Andronicus his purple, and rent off his clothes, and leading him through the whole city unto that very place, where he had committed impiety against Onias, there slew he the cursed murderer. Thus the Lord rewarded him his punishment, as he had deserved.

καὶ πυρωθεὶς τοῖς θυμοῖς, παραχρῆμα τὴν τοῦ ᾿Ανδρονίκου πορφύραν περιελόμενος καὶ τοὺς χιτῶνας περιρρήξας, περιαγαγὼν καθ᾿ ὅλην τὴν πόλιν, ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸ τὸν τόπον, οὗπερ εἰς τὸν ᾿Ονίαν ἠσέβησεν, ἐκεῖ τὸν μιαιφόνον ἀπεκόσμησε, τοῦ Κυρίου τὴν ἀξία αὐτῷ κόλασιν ἀποδόντος.

и҆ раз̾ѧри́всѧ дꙋше́ю, а҆́бїе со а҆ндроні́ка порфѵ́рꙋ совле́къ и҆ ѻ҆дє́жды ѡ҆бодра́въ, по всемꙋ̀ гра́дꙋ повелѣ́въ ѡ҆бводи́ти, на то́мже мѣ́стѣ, и҆дѣ́же ѻ҆ні́ю нечести́вѡ ᲂу҆бѝ, та́мѡ ᲂу҆бі́йцꙋ погꙋбѝ, гдⷭ҇ꙋ досто́йнꙋю є҆мꙋ̀ ка́знь воздаю́щꙋ.

Now when many sacrileges had been committed in the city by Lysimachus with the consent of Menelaus, and the fruit thereof was spread abroad, the multitude gathered themselves together against Lysimachus, many vessels of gold being already carried away.

γενομένων δὲ πολλῶν ἱεροσυλυμάτων κατὰ τὴν πόλιν ὑπὸ τοῦ Λυσιμάχου μετὰ τῆς Μενελάου γνώμης καὶ διαδοθείσης ἔξω τῆς φήμης, ἐπισυνήχθη τὸ πλῆθος ἐπὶ τὸν Λυσίμαχον, χρυσωμάτων ἤδη πολλῶν διενηνεγμένων.

Є҆гда́ же мнѡ́га свѧщеннограби́тєльства во гра́дѣ содѣ̑лана бы́ша ѿ лѷсїма́ха со менела́евымъ совѣ́томъ, и҆ и҆зы́де вѣ́сть внѣ̀, собра́сѧ мно́жество на лѷсїма́ха, мнѡ́гимъ ᲂу҆жѐ златы̑мъ сосꙋ́дѡмъ и҆знесє́нымъ бы́вшымъ.

Whereupon the common people rising, and being filled with rage, Lysimachus armed about three thousand men, and began first to offer violence; one Auranus being the leader, a man far gone in years, and no less in folly.

ἐπεγειρομένων δὲ τῶν ὄχλων καὶ ταῖς ὀργαῖς διεμπιπλαμένων, καθοπλίσας ὁ Λυσίμαχος πρὸς τρισχιλίους, κατήρξατο χειρῶν ἀδίκων, προηγησαμένου τινὸς τυράννου προβεβηκότος τὴν ἡλικίαν, οὐδὲν δὲ ἧττον καὶ τὴν ἄνοιαν.

Наро́дѡмъ же востаю́щымъ и҆ гнѣ́ва и҆спо́лнєннымъ, воѡрꙋжи́въ лѷсїма́хъ трѝ ты́сѧщы, нача̀ беззако́нными рꙋка́ми ѡ҆би́дѣти, предводи́тельствꙋющꙋ нѣ́коемꙋ мꙋчи́телю престарѣ́вшꙋсѧ во́зрастомъ, па́че же безꙋ́мїемъ.

They then seeing the attempt of Lysimachus, some of them caught stones, some clubs, others taking handfuls of dust, that was next at hand, cast them all together upon Lysimachus, and those that set upon them.

συνιδόντες δὲ καὶ τὴν ἐπίθεσιν τοῦ Λυσιμάχου, συναρπάσαντες οἱ μὲν πέτρους, οἱ δὲ ξύλων πάχη, τινὲς δὲ ἐκ τῆς παρακειμένης σποδοῦ δρασσόμενοι, φύρδην ἐνετίνασσον εἰς τοὺς περὶ τὸν Λυσίμαχον·

Оу҆разꙋмѣ́вше же и҆ ᲂу҆си́лїе лѷсїма́хово, и҆ні́и ка́менїе, и҆ні́и дрекѡ́лїѧ тѡ́лстаѧ восхи́тиша, нѣ́цыи же бли́з̾ лежа́щїй пра́хъ взе́мше, на сꙋ́щихъ ѡ҆́крестъ лѷсїма́ха мета́ша.

Thus many of them they wounded, and some they struck to the ground, and all of them they forced to flee: but as for the churchrobber himself, him they killed beside the treasury.

δι᾿ ἣν αἰτίαν πολλοὺς μὲν αὐτῶν τραυματίας ἐποίησαν, τινὰς δὲ καὶ κατέβαλον, πάντας δὲ εἰς φυγὴν συνήλασαν, αὐτὸν δὲ τὸν ἱερόσυλον παρὰ τὸ γαζοφυλάκιον ἐχειρώσαντο.

Сеѧ̀ ра́ди вины̀ мно́гихъ ᲂу҆́бѡ ѿ ни́хъ ᲂу҆ѧзви́ша, нѣ́кїихъ же и҆ низложи́ша, всѣ́хъ же въ бѣ́гъ ѡ҆брати́ша: самаго́ же свѧщеннограби́телѧ при сокро́вищнѣмъ храни́лищи ᲂу҆би́ша.

Of these matters therefore there was an accusation laid against Menelaus.

περὶ δὲ τούτων ἐνέστη κρίσις πρὸς τὸν Μενέλαον.

Ѡ҆ си́хъ же сꙋ́дъ на менела́а настоѧ́ше.

Now when the king came to Tyrus, three men that were sent from the senate pleaded the cause before him:

καταντήσαντος δὲ τοῦ βασιλέως εἰς Τύρον, ἐπ᾿ αὐτοῦ τὴν δικαιολογίαν ἐποιήσαντο οἱ πεμφθέντες ἄνδρες τρεῖς ὑπὸ τῆς γερουσίας.

Є҆гда́ же прїи́де ца́рь въ тѵ́ръ, къ немꙋ̀ сꙋде́бное дѣ́ло принесо́ша по́сланнїи трѝ мꙋ̑жа ѿ старѣ́йшинъ.

But Menelaus, being now convicted, promised Ptolemee the son of Dorymenes to give him much money, if he would pacify the king toward him.

ἤδη δὲ λελειμμένος ὁ Μενέλαος ἐπηγγείλατο χρήματα ἱκανὰ τῷ Πτολεμαίῳ τῷ Δορυμένους πρὸς τὸ πεῖσαι τὸν βασιλέα.

И҆ ᲂу҆жѐ премога́емь менела́й ѡ҆бѣща̀ птоломе́ю сы́нꙋ дорѷме́новꙋ мнѡ́ги сре́бреники да́ти на ᲂу҆толе́нїе царѧ̀.

Whereupon Ptolemee taking the king aside into a certain gallery, as it were to take the air, brought him to be of another mind:

ὅθεν ἀπολαβὼν ὁ Πτολεμαῖος εἴς τι περίστυλον ὡς ἀναψύξοντα τὸν βασιλέα μετέθηκε,

Поѧ́тъ ᲂу҆̀бо ѡ҆со́бь птоломе́й въ нѣ́кїй притво́ръ а҆́ки прохлажда́ющасѧ царѧ̀, превратѝ,

Insomuch that he discharged Menelaus from the accusations, who notwithstanding was cause of all the mischief: and those poor men, who, if they had told their cause, yea, before the Scythians, should have been judged innocent, them he condemned to death.

καὶ τὸν μὲν τῆς ὅλης κακίας Μενέλαον ἀπέλυσε τῶν κατηγορημάτων, τοῖς δὲ ταλαιπώροις, οἵτινες, εἰ καὶ ἐπὶ Σκυθῶν ἔλεγον, ἀπελύθησαν ἂν ἀκατάγνωστοι, τούτοις θάνατον ἐπέκρινε.

и҆ всеѧ̀ ᲂу҆́бѡ ѕло́бы вино́внаго менела́а свободѝ ѿ вины̀, а҆ бѣ́дныхъ, и҆̀же а҆́ще бы и҆ пред̾ скѵ̑ѳы глаго́лали, ѿпꙋще́ни бы́ли бы́ша неѡсꙋжде́ни, си́хъ на сме́рть ѡ҆сꙋдѝ.

Thus they that followed the matter for the city, and for the people, and for the holy vessels, did soon suffer unjust punishment.

ταχέως οὖν τὴν ἄδικον ζημίαν ὑπέσχον οἱ ὑπὲρ πόλεως καὶ δήμων καὶ τῶν ἱερῶν σκευῶν προαγορεύσαντες.

Ско́рѡ ᲂу҆̀бо непра́веднꙋ ка́знь претерпѣ́ша и҆̀же ѡ҆ гра́дѣ и҆ лю́дехъ и҆ ѡ҆ свѧще́нныхъ сосꙋ́дѣхъ доноси́вшїи.

Wherefore even they of Tyrus, moved with hatred of that wicked deed, caused them to be honourably buried.

δι᾿ ἣν αἰτίαν καὶ Τύριοι μισοπονηρήσαντες τὰ πρὸς τὴν κηδείαν αὐτῶν μεγαλοπρεπῶς ἐχορήγησαν.

Сеѧ̀ ра́ди вины̀ и҆ тѵ́рѧне, вознегодова́вше ѡ҆ беззако́нїи, на погребе́нїе и҆́хъ ще́дрѡ препода́ша.

And so through the covetousness of them that were of power Menelaus remained still in authority, increasing in malice, and being a great traitor to the citizens.

ὁ δὲ Μενέλαος διὰ τὰς τῶν κρατούντων πλεονεξίας ἔμενεν ἐπὶ τῆς ἀρχῆς ἐπιφυόμενος τῇ κακίᾳ, μέγας τῶν πολιτῶν ἐπίβουλος καθεστώς.

Менела́й же ра́ди лихои́мства ѡ҆блада́ющихъ пребыва́ше во вла́сти, возраста́ющь ѕло́бою, вели́кїй гра́жданѡмъ навѣ́тникъ сотвори́всѧ.
