Thomson—

BrentonIn those days arose Mattathias the son of John, the son of Simeon, a priest of the sons of Joarib, from Jerusalem, and dwelt in Modin.

GreekἘν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις ἀνέστη Ματταθίας Ἰωάννου τοῦ Συμεὼν, ἱερεὺς τῶν υἱῶν Ἰωαρὶβ ἀπὸ Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐν Μωδεΐν.

Thomson—

BrentonAnd he had five sons, Joannan, called Caddis:

GreekΚαὶ αὐτῷ υἱοὶ πέντε, Ἰωαννὰν ὁ ἐπικαλούμενος Καδδὶς,

Thomson—

BrentonSimon, called Thassi:

GreekΣίμων ὁ καλούμενος Θασσι,

Thomson—

BrentonJudas, who was called Maccabeus:

GreekἸούδας ὁ ἐπικαλούμενος Μακκαβαῖος,

Thomson—

BrentonEleazar, called Avaran: and Jonathan, whose surname was Apphus.

GreekἘλεάζαρ ὁ ἐπικαλούμενος Αὐαρὰν, Ἰωνάθαν ὁ ἐπικαλούμενος Ἀπφοῦς.

Thomson—

BrentonAnd when he saw the blasphemies that were committed in Juda and Jerusalem,

GreekΚαὶ εἶδε τὰς βλασφημίας τὰς γινομένας ἐν Ἰούδα καὶ ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ,

Thomson—

Brentonhe said, Woe is me! wherefore was I born to see this misery of my people, and of the holy city, and to dwell there, when it was delivered into the hand of the enemy, and the sanctuary into the hand of strangers?

Greekκαὶ εἶπεν, οἴμοι, ἱνατί τοῦτο ἐγεννήθην ἰδεῖν τὸ σύντριμμα τοῦ λαοῦ μου, καὶ τὸ σύντριμμα τῆς πόλεως τῆς ἁγίας, καὶ καθίσαι ἐκεῖ ἐν τῷ δοθῆναι αὐτὴν ἐν χειρὶ ἐχθρῶν, καὶ τὸ ἁγίασμα ἐν χειρὶ ἀλλοτρίων;

Thomson—

BrentonHer temple is become as a man without glory.

GreekἘγένετο ὁ ναὸς αὐτῆς ὡς ἀνὴρ ἄδοξος,

Thomson—

BrentonHer glorious vessels are carried away into captivity, her infants are slain in the streets, her young men with the sword of the enemy.

Greekτὰ σκεύη τῆς δόξης αὐτῆς αἰχμάλωτα ἀπήχθη, ἀπεκτάνθη τὰ νήπια αὐτῆς ἐν ταῖς πλατείαις, οἱ νεανίσκοι αὐτῆς ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ ἐχθροῦ.

Thomson—

BrentonWhat nation hath not had a part in her kingdom, and gotten of her spoils?

GreekΠοῖον ἔθνος οὐκ ἐκληρονόμησε βασιλείαν αὐτῆς, καὶ οὐκ ἐκράτησε τῶν σκύλων αὐτῆς;

Thomson—

BrentonAll her ornaments are taken away; of a free woman she has become a bondslave.

GreekΠᾶς ὁ κόσμος αὐτῆς ἀφῃρέθη, ἀντὶ ἐλευθήρας ἐγένετο εἰς δούλην.

Thomson—

BrentonAnd, behold, our sanctuary, even our beauty and our glory, is laid waste, and the Gentiles have profaned it.

GreekΚαὶ ἰδοὺ τὰ ἅγια ἡμῶν καὶ ἡ καλλονὴ ἡμῶν καὶ ἡ δόξα ἡμῶν ἠρημώθη, καὶ ἐβεβήλωσαν αὐτὰ τὰ ἔθνη.

Thomson—

BrentonTo what end therefore shall we live any longer?

GreekἹνατί ἡμῖν ἔτι ζῇν;

Thomson—

BrentonThen Mattathias and his sons rent their clothes, and put on sackcloth, and mourned very sore.

GreekΚαὶ διέῤῥηξε Ματταθίας καὶ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτῶν, καὶ περιεβάλοντο σάκκους, καὶ ἐπένθησαν σφόδρα.

Thomson—

BrentonIn the mean while the king's officers, such as compelled the people to revolt, came into the city Modin, to make them sacrifice.

GreekΚαὶ ἦλθον οἱ παρὰ τοῦ βασιλέως οἱ καταναγκάζοντες τὴν ἀποστασίαν εἰς Μωδεῒν τὴν πόλιν, ἵνα θυσιάσωσι.

Thomson—

BrentonAnd when many of Israel came unto them, Mattathias also and his sons came together.

GreekΚαὶ πολλοὶ ἀπὸ Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς αὐτοὺς προσῆλθον· καὶ Ματταθίας καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ συνήχθησαν.

Thomson—

BrentonThen answered the king's officers, and said to Mattathias on this wise, Thou art a ruler, and an honourable and great man in this city, and strengthened with sons and brethren:

GreekΚαὶ ἀπεκρίθησαν οἱ παρὰ τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ εἰπον τῷ Ματταθίᾳ, λέγοντες, ἄρχων καὶ ἔνδοξος καὶ μέγας εἶ ἐν τῇ πόλει ταύτῃ, καὶ ἐστηριγμένος ἐν υἱοῖς καὶ ἀδελφοῖς.

Thomson—

Brentonnow therefore come thou first, and fulfil the king's commandment, like as all the nations have done, yea, and the men of Juda also, and such as remain at Jerusalem: so shalt thou and thy house be in the number of the king's friends, and thou and thy children shall be honoured with silver and gold, and many rewards.

GreekΝῦν οὖν πρόσελθε πρῶτος, καὶ ποίησον τὸ πρόσταγμα τοῦ βασιλέως, ὡς ἐποίησαν πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες Ἰούδα, καὶ οἱ καταλειφθέντες ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ· καὶ ἔσῃ σὺ καὶ ὁ οἶκός σου τῶν φίλων τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ σὺ καὶ οἱ υἱοί σου δοξασθήσεσθε ἀργυρίῳ, καὶ χρυσίῳ, καὶ ἀποστολαῖς πολλαῖς.

Thomson—

BrentonThen Mattathias answered and spake with a loud voice, Though all the nations that are under the king's dominion obey him, and fall away every one from the religion of their fathers, and give consent to his commandments:

GreekΚαὶ ἀπεκρίθη Ματταθίας, καὶ εἶπε φωνῇ μεγάλῃ, εἰ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη τὰ ἐν οἴκῳ τῆς βασιλείας τοῦ βασιλέως ἀκούουσιν αὐτοῦ, ἀποστῆναι ἕκαστος ἀπὸ λατρείας πατέρων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ᾑρετίσαντο ἐν ταῖς ἐντολαῖς αὐτοῦ,

Thomson—

Brentonyet will I and my sons and my brethren walk in the covenant of our fathers.

Greekἀλλʼ ἐγὼ καὶ οἱ υἱοί μου καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοί μου πορευσόμεθα ἐν διαθήκῃ πατέρων ἡμῶν.

Thomson—

BrentonGod forbid that we should forsake the law and the ordinances.

GreekἽλεως ἡμῖν καταλιπεῖν νόμον καὶ δικαιώματὰ.

Thomson—

BrentonWe will not hearken to the king's words, to go from our religion, either on the right hand, or the left.

GreekΤῶν λόγων τοῦ βασιλέως οὐκ ἀκουσόμεθα, τοῦ παρελθεῖν τὴν λατρείαν ἡμῶν, δεξιὰν ἢ ἀριστεράν.

Thomson—

BrentonNow when he had left speaking these words, there came one of the Jews in the sight of all to sacrifice on the altar which was at Modin, according to the king's commandment.

GreekΚαὶ ὡς ἐπαύσατο λαλῶν τοὺς λόγους τούτους, προσῆλθεν ἀνὴρ Ἰουδαῖος ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς πάντων, θυσιᾶσαι ἐπὶ τοῦ βωμοῦ τοῦ ἐν Μωδεῒν κατὰ τὸ πρόσταγμα τοῦ βασιλέως.

Thomson—

BrentonWhich thing when Mattathias saw, he was inflamed with zeal, and his reins trembled, neither could he forbear to shew his anger according to judgment: wherefore he ran, and slew him upon the altar.

GreekΚαὶ εἶδε Ματταθίας καὶ ἐζήλωσε, καὶ ἐτρόμησαν οἱ νεφροὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀνήνεγκε θυμὸν κατὰ τὸ κρίμα, καὶ δραμῶν ἔσφαξεν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὸν βωμόν.

Thomson—

BrentonAlso the king's commissioner, who compelled men to sacrifice, he killed at that time, and the altar he pulled down.

GreekΚαὶ τὸν ἄνδρα τοῦ βασιλέως τὸν ἀναγκάζοντα θύειν, ἀπέκτεινεν ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ, καὶ τὸν βωμὸν καθεῖλε.

Thomson—

BrentonThus dealt he zealously for the law of God, like as Phinees did unto Zambri the son of Salom.

GreekΚαὶ ἐζήλωσε τῷ νόμῳ καθὼς ἐποίησε Φινεὲς τῷ Ζαμβρὶ υἱῷ Σαλώμ.

Thomson—

BrentonAnd Mattathias cried throughout the city with a loud voice, saying, Whosoever is zealous of the law, and maintaineth the covenant, let him follow me.

GreekΚαὶ ἀνέκραξε Ματταθίας ἐν τῇ πόλει φωνῇ μεγάλῃ, λέγων, πᾶς ὁ ζηλῶν τῷ νόμῳ καὶ ἱστῶν διαθήκην, ἐξελθέτω ὀπίσω μου.

Thomson—

BrentonSo he and his sons fled into the mountains, and left all that ever they had in the city.

GreekΚαὶ ἔφυγον αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὰ ὄρη, καὶ ἐγκατέλιπον ὅσα εἶχον ἐν τῇ πόλει.

Thomson—

BrentonThen many that sought after justice and judgment went down into the wilderness, to dwell there:

GreekΤότε κατέβησαν πολλοὶ ζητοῦντες δικαιοσύνην καὶ κρίμα, εἰς τὴν ἔρημον, καθίσαι ἐκεῖ,

Thomson—

Brentonboth they and their children, and their wives, and their cattle; because afflictions increased sore upon them.

Greekαὐτοὶ καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτῶν καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ κτήνη αὐτῶν, ὅτι ἐπληθύνθη ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς τὰ κακά.

Thomson—

BrentonNow when it was told the king's servants, and the host that was at Jerusalem, in the city of David, that certain men, who had broken the king's commandment, were gone down into the secret places in the wilderness,

GreekΚαὶ ἀνηγγέλη τοῖς ἀνδράσι τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ταῖς δυνάμεσιν αἳ ἦσαν ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ πόλει Δαυὶδ, ὅτι κατέβησαν ἄνδρες, οἵτινες διεσκέδασαν τὴν ἐντολὴν τοῦ βασιλέως, εἰς τοὺς κρύφους ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ.

Thomson—

Brentonthey pursued after them a great number, and having overtaken them, they camped against them, and made war against them on the sabbath day.

GreekΚαὶ ἔδραμον ὀπίσω αὐτῶν πολλοί· καὶ καταλαβόντες αὐτοὺς παρενέβαλον ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς, καὶ συνεστήσαντο πρὸς αὐτοὺς πόλεμον ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῶν σαββάτων,

Thomson—

BrentonAnd they said unto them, Let that which ye have done hitherto suffice; come forth, and do according to the commandment of the king, and ye shall live.

Greekκαὶ εἶπον πρὸς αὐτοὺς, ἕως τοῦ νῦν ἱκανόν· ἐξέλθετε καὶ ποιήσατε κατὰ τὸν λόγον τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ ζήσεσθε.

Thomson—

BrentonBut they said, We will not come forth, neither will we do the king's commandment, to profane the sabbath day.

GreekΚαὶ εἶπον, οὐκ ἐξελευσόμεθα, οὐδὲ ποιήσομεν τὸν λόγον τοῦ βασιλέως, τοῦ βεβηλῶσαι τὴν ἡμέραν τῶν σαββάτων.

Thomson—

BrentonSo then they gave them the battle with all speed.

Greekκαὶ ἐτάχυναν ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς πόλεμον.

Thomson—

BrentonHowbeit they answered them not, neither cast they a stone at them, nor stopped the places where they lay hid;

GreekΚαὶ οὐκ ἀπεκρίθησαν αὐτοῖς, οὐδὲ λίθον ἐνετίναξαν αὐτοῖς, οὐδὲ ἐνέφραξαν τοὺς κρύφους,

Thomson—

Brentonbut said, Let us die all in our innocency: heaven and earth shall testify for us, that ye put us to death wrongfully.

Greekλέγοντες, ἀποθάνωμεν πάντες ἐν τῇ ἁπλότητι ἡμῶν· μαρτυρεῖ ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς ὁ οὐρανὸς καὶ ἡ γῆ, ὅτι ἀκρίτως ἀπόλλυτε ἡμᾶς.

Thomson—

BrentonSo they rose up against them in battle on the sabbath, and they slew them, with their wives and children, and their cattle, to the number of a thousand people.

GreekΚαὶ ἀνέστησαν ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς ἐν τῷ πολέμῳ τοῖς σάββασι, καὶ ἀπέθανον αὐτοὶ καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες αὐτῶν, καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῶν, καὶ τὰ κτήνη αὐτῶν, ἕως χιλίων ψυχῶν ἀνθρώπων.

Thomson—

BrentonNow when Mattathias and his friends understood hereof, they mourned for them right sore.

GreekΚαὶ ἔγνω Ματταθίας καὶ οἱ φίλοι αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπένθησαν ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς ἕως σφόδρα.

Thomson—

BrentonAnd one of them said to another, If we all do as our brethren have done, and fight not for our lives and laws against the heathen, they will now quickly root us out of the earth.

GreekΚαὶ εἶπεν ἀνὴρ τῷ πλησίον αὐτοῦ, ἐὰν πάντες ποιήσωμεν ὡς οἱ ἀδελφοὶ ἡμῶν ἐποίησαν, καὶ μὴ πολεμήσωμεν πρὸς τὰ ἔθνη ὑπὲρ τῶν ψυχῶν ἡμῶν καὶ τῶν δικαιωμάτων ἡμῶν, νῦν τάχιον ἡμᾶς ἐξολοθρεύσουσιν ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς.

Thomson—

BrentonAt that time therefore they decreed, saying, Whosoever shall come to make battle with us on the sabbath day, we will fight against him: neither will we die all, as our brethren that were murdered in the secret places.

GreekΚαὶ ἐβουλεύσαντο τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, λέγοντες, πᾶς ἄνθρωπος ὃς ἐὰν ἔλθῃ πρὸς ἡμᾶς εἰς πόλεμον τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῶν σαββάτων, πολεμήσωμεν κατέναντι αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀποθάνωμεν πάντες καθὼς ἀπέθανον οἱ ἀδελφοὶ ἡμῶν ἐν τοῖς κρύφοις.

Thomson—

BrentonThen came there unto him a company of Assideans, who were mighty men of Israel, even all such as were voluntarily devoted unto the law.

GreekΤότε συνήχθησαν πρὸς αὐτοὺς συναγωγὴ Ἰουδαίων, ἰσχυροὶ δυνάμει ἀπὸ Ἰσραὴλ, πᾶς ὁ ἑκουσιαζόμενος τῷ νόμῳ.

Thomson—

BrentonAlso all they that fled for persecution joined themselves unto them, and were a stay unto them.

GreekΚαὶ πάντες οἱ φυγαδεύοντες ἀπὸ τῶν κακῶν προσετέθησαν αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἐγένοντο αὐτοῖς εἰς στήριγμα.

Thomson—

BrentonSo they joined their forces, and smote sinful men in their anger, and wicked men in their wrath: but the rest fled to the heathen for succour.

GreekΚαὶ συνεστήσαντο δύναμιν, καὶ ἐπάταξαν ἁμαρτωλοὺς ἐν ὀργῇ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἄνδρας ἀνόμους ἐν θυμῷ αὐτῶν· καὶ οἱ λοιποὶ ἔφυγον εἰς τὰ ἔθνη σωθῆναι.

Thomson—

BrentonThen Mattathias and his friends went round about, and pulled down the altars:

GreekΚαὶ ἐκύκλωσε Ματταθίας καὶ οἱ φίλοι αὐτοῦ, καὶ καθεῖλον τοὺς βωμοὺς.

Thomson—

Brentonand what children soever they found within the coast of Israel uncircumcised, those they circumcised valiantly.

GreekΚαὶ περιέτεμον τὰ παιδάρια τὰ ἀπερίτμητα ὅσα εὗρον ἐν ὁρίοις Ἰσραὴλ ἐν ἰσχύϊ.

Thomson—

BrentonThey pursued also after the proud men, and the work prospered in their hand.

GreekΚαὶ ἐδίωξαν τοὺς υἱοὺς τῆς ὑπεπηφανίας, καὶ κατευωδώθη τὸ ἔργον ἐν χειρὶ αὐτῶν.

Thomson—

BrentonSo they recovered the law out of the hand of the Gentiles, and out of the hand of kings, neither suffered they the sinner to triumph.

GreekΚαὶ ἀντελάβοντο τοῦ νόμου ἐκ χειρὸς τῶν ἐθνῶν καὶ ἐκ χειρὸς τῶν βασιλέων· καὶ οὐκ ἔδωκαν κέρας τῷ ἁμαρτωλῷ.

Thomson—

BrentonNow when the time drew near that Mattathias should die, he said unto his sons, Now have pride and rebuke gotten strength, and the time of destruction, and the wrath of indignation:

GreekΚαὶ ἤγγισαν αἱ ἡμέραι τοῦ Ματταθίου ἀποθανεῖν, καὶ εἶπε τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ, νῦν ἐστηρίχθη ὑπερηφανία καὶ ἐλεγμὸς καὶ καιρὸς καταστροφῆς καὶ ὀργὴ θυμοῦ.

Thomson—

Brentonnow therefore, my sons, be ye zealous for the law, and give your lives for the covenant of your fathers.

GreekΚαὶ νῦν, τέκνα, ζηλώσατε τῷ νόμῳ, καὶ δότε τὰς ψυχὰς ὑμῶν ὑπὲρ διαθήκης πατέρων ἡμῶν.

Thomson—

BrentonCall to remembrance what acts our fathers did in their time; so shall ye receive great honour and an everlasting name.

GreekΜνήσθητε τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν τὰ ἔργα ἃ ἐποίησαν ἐν ταῖς γενεαῖς αὐτῶν, καὶ δέξασθε δόξαν μεγάλην καὶ ὄνομα αἰώνιον.

Thomson—

BrentonWas not Abraham found faithful in temptation, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness?

GreekἉβραὰμ οὐχὶ ἐν πειρασμῷ εὑρέθη πιστὸς, καὶ ἐλογίσθη αὐτῷ εἰς δικαιοσύνην;

Thomson—

BrentonJoseph in the time of his distress kept the commandment, and was made lord of Egypt;

GreekἸωσὴφ ἐν καιρῷ στενοχωρίας αὐτοῦ ἐφύλαξεν ἐντολὴν, καὶ ἐγένετο κύριος Αἰγύπτου.

Thomson—

BrentonPhinees our father in being zealous and fervent obtained the covenant of an everlasting priesthood.

GreekΦινεὲς ὁ πατὴρ ἡμῶν ἐν τῷ ζηλῶσαι ζῆλον, ἔλαβε διαθήκην ἱερωσύνης αἰωνίας.

Thomson—

BrentonJesus for fulfilling the word was made a judge in Israel.

GreekἸησοῦς ἐν τῷ πληρῶσαι λόγον, ἐγένετο κριτὴς ἐν Ἰσραήλ.

Thomson—

BrentonCaleb for bearing witness before the congregation received the heritage of the land.

GreekΧαλὲβ ἐν τῷ ἐπιμαρτύρασθαι ἐν τῇ ἐκκλησία, ἔλαβε γῆς κληρονομίαν.

Thomson—

BrentonDavid for being merciful possessed the throne of an everlasting kingdom.

GreekΔαυὶδ ἐν τῷ ἐλέῳ αὐτοῦ, ἐκληρονόμησε θρόνον βασιλείας εἰς αἰῶνα αἰῶνος.

Thomson—

BrentonElias for being zealous and fervent for the law was taken up into heaven.

GreekἩλίας ἐν τῷ ζηλῶσαι ζῆλον νόμου, ἀνελήφθη ἕως εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν.

Thomson—

BrentonAnanias, Azarias, and Misael, by believing were saved out of the flame.

GreekἈνανίας, Ἀζαρίας, Μισαήλ, πιστεύσαντες ἐσώθησαν ἐκ φλογός.

Thomson—

BrentonDaniel for his innocency was delivered from the mouth of lions.

GreekΔανιὴλ ἐν τῇ ἁπλότητι αὐτοῦ ἐῤῥύσθη ἐκ στόματος λεόντων.

Thomson—

BrentonAnd thus consider ye throughout all ages, that none that put their trust in him shall be overcome.

GreekΚαὶ οὕτως ἐννοήθητε κατὰ γενεὰν καὶ γενεὰν, ὅτι πάντες οἱ ἐλπίζοντες ἐπʼ αὐτὸν οὐκ ἀσθενήσουσι.

Thomson—

BrentonFear not then the words of a sinful man: for his glory shall be dung and worms.

GreekΚαὶ ἀπὸ λόγων ἀνδρὸς ἁμαρτωλοῦ μὴ φοβηθῆτε, ὅτι ἡ δόξα αὐτοῦ εἰς κοπρίαν καὶ εἰς σκώληκας.

Thomson—

BrentonTo day he shall be lifted up, and to morrow he shall not be found, because he is returned into his dust, and his thought is come to nothing.

GreekΣήμερον ἐπαρθήσεται, καὶ αὔριον οὐ μὴ εὑρεθῇ, ὅτι ἔστρεψεν εἰς τὸν χοῦν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὁ διαλογισμὸς αὐτοῦ ἀπώλετο.

Thomson—

BrentonWherefore, ye my sons, be valiant, and shew yourselves men in the behalf of the law; for by it shall ye obtain glory.

GreekΚαὶ ὑμεῖς, τέκνα, ἰσχύσατε καὶ ἀνδρίζεσθε ἐν τῷ νόμῳ, ὅτι ἐν αὐτῷ δοξασθήσεσθε.

Thomson—

BrentonAnd, behold, I know that your brother Simon is a man of counsel, give ear unto him alway: he shall be a father unto you.

GreekΚαὶ ἰδοὺ Συμεὼν ὁ ἀδελφὸς ὑμῶν, οἶδα ὅτι ἀνὴρ βουλῆς ἐστιν, αὐτοῦ ἀκούετε πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας, αὐτὸς ὑμῖν ἔσται εἰς πατέρα.

Thomson—

BrentonAs for Judas Maccabeus, he hath been mighty and strong, even from his youth up: let him be your captain, and fight the battle of the people.

GreekΚαὶ Ἰούδας Μακκαβαῖος ἰσχυρὸς δυνάμει ἐκ νεότητος αὐτοῦ, οὗτος ὑμῖν ἔσται ἄρχων στρατιᾶς, καὶ πολεμήσει πόλεμον λαῶν.

Thomson—

BrentonTake also unto you all those that observe the law, and avenge ye the wrong of your people.

GreekΚαὶ ὑμεῖς προσάξατε πρὸς ὑμᾶς πάντας τοὺς ποιητὰς τοῦ νόμου, καὶ ἐκδικήσατε ἐκδίκησιν τοῦ λαοῦ ὑμῶν.

Thomson—

BrentonRecompense fully the heathen, and take heed to the commandments of the law.

GreekἈνταπόδοτε ἀνταπόδομα τοῖς ἔθνεσι, καὶ προσέχετε εἰς τὰ προστάγματα τοῦ νόμου.

Thomson—

BrentonSo he blessed them, and was gathered to his fathers.

GreekΚαὶ εὐλόγησεν αὐτούς· καὶ προσετέθη πρὸς τοὺς πατέρας αὐτοῦ.

Thomson—

BrentonAnd he died in the hundred forty and sixth year, and his sons buried him in the sepulchres of his fathers at Modin, and all Israel made great lamentation for him.

GreekΚαὶ ἀπέθανεν ἐν τῷ ἕκτῳ καὶ τεσσαρακοστῷ καὶ ἑκατοστῷ ἔτει· καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ ἐν τάφοις πατέρων αὐτῶν ἐν Μωδεῒν, καὶ ἐκόψαντο αὐτὸν πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ κοπετὸν μέγαν.
