Thomson—

BrentonAnd in the eighteenth year, the two and twentieth day of the first month, there was talk in the house of Nabuchodonosor king of the Assyrians, that he should, as he said, avenge himself on all the earth.

GreekΚαὶ ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ ὀκτωκαιδεκάτῳ, δευτέρᾳ καὶ εἰκάδι τοῦ πρώτου μηνὸς, ἐγένετο λόγος ἐν οἴκῳ Ναβουχοδονόσορ βασιλέως Ἀσσυρίων, ἐκδικῆσαι πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν καθὼς ἐλάλησε.

Thomson—

BrentonSo he called unto him all his officers, and all his nobles, and communicated with them his secret counsel, and concluded the afflicting of the whole earth out of his own mouth.

GreekΚαὶ συνεκάλεσε πάντας τοὺς θεράποντας αὐτοῦ, καὶ πάντας τοὺς μεγιστᾶνας αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔθετο μετʼ αὐτῶν τὸ μυστήριον τῆς βουλῆς αὐτοῦ· καὶ συνετέλεσε πᾶσαν τὴν κακίαν τῆς γῆς ἐκ τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ·

Thomson—

BrentonThen they decreed to destroy all flesh, that did not obey the commandment of his mouth.

Greekκαὶ αὐτοὶ ἔκριναν ὀλοθρεῦσαι πᾶσαν σάρκα, οἳ οὐκ ἠκολούθησαν τῷ λόγῳ τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ.

Thomson—

BrentonAnd when he had ended his counsel, Nabuchodonosor king of the Assyrians called Holofernes the chief captain of his army, which was next unto him, and said unto him,

GreekΚαὶ ἐγένετο ὡς συνετέλεσε τὴν βουλὴν αὐτοῦ, ἐκάλεσε Ναβουχοδονόσορ βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων τὸν Ὀλοφέρνην ἀρχιστράτηγον τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ, δεύτερον ὄντα μετʼ αὐτὸν, καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὸν,

Thomson—

BrentonThus saith the great king, the lord of the whole earth, Behold, thou shalt go forth from my presence, and take with thee men that trust in their own strength, of footmen an hundred and twenty thousand; and the number of horses with their riders twelve thousand.

Greekτάδε λέγει ὁ βασιλεὺς ὁ μέγας, ὁ κύριος πάσης τῆς γῆς, ἰδοὺ σὺ ἐξελεύσῃ ἐκ τοῦ προσώπου μου, καὶ λήψῃ μετὰ σεαυτοῦ ἄνδρας πεποιθότας ἐν ἰσχύϊ αὐτῶν, πεζῶν εἰς χιλιάδας ἑκατὸν εἴκοσι, καὶ πλῆθος ἵππων σὺν ἀναβάταις μυριάδων δεκαδύο,

Thomson—

BrentonAnd thou shalt go against all the west country, because they disobeyed my commandment:

Greekκαὶ ἐξελεύσῃ εἰς συνάντησιν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ ἐπὶ δυσμὰς, ὅτι ἠπείθησαν τῷ ῥήματι τοῦ στόματός μου·

Thomson—

Brentonand thou shalt declare unto them, that they prepare for me earth and water: for I will go forth in my wrath against them, and will cover the whole face of the earth with the feet of mine army, and I will give them for a spoil unto them:

Greekκαὶ ἀπαγγελεῖς αὐτοῖς ἑτοιμάζειν γῆν καὶ ὕδωρ, ὅτι ἐξελεύσομαι ἐν θυμῷ μου ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς, καὶ καλύψω πᾶν τὸ πρόσωπον τῆς γῆς ἐν τοῖς ποσὶ τῆς δυνάμεώς μου· καὶ δώσω αὐτοὺς εἰς διαρπαγὴν αὐτοῖς,

Thomson—

Brentonso that their slain shall fill their valleys and brooks, and the river shall be filled with their dead, till it overflow:

Greekκαὶ οἱ τραυματίαι αὐτῶν πληρώσουσι τὰς φάραγγας καὶ τοὺς χειμάῤῥους αὐτῶν, καὶ ποταμὸς ἐπικλύζων τοῖς νεκροῖς αὐτῶν πληρωθήσεται·

Thomson—

Brentonand I will lead them captives to the utmost parts of all the earth.

Greekκαὶ ἄξω τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τὰ ἄκρα πάσης τῆς γῆς.

Thomson—

BrentonThou therefore shalt go forth, and take beforehand for me all their coasts: and if they will yield themselves unto thee, thou shalt reserve them for me till the day of their punishment.

GreekΣὺ δὲ ἐξελθὼν προκαταλήψῃ μοι πᾶν ὅριον αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐκδώσουσί σοι ἑαυτοὺς, καὶ διατηρήσεις ἐμοὶ αὐτοὺς εἰς ἡμέραν ἐλεγμοῦ αὐτῶν.

Thomson—

BrentonBut concerning them that rebel, let not thine eye spare them; but put them to the slaughter, and spoil them wheresoever thou goest.

GreekἘπὶ δὲ τοὺς ἀπειθοῦντας οὐ φείσεται ὁ ὀφθαλμός σου, δοῦναι αὐτοὺς εἰς φόνον καὶ ἁρπαγὴν ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ σου.

Thomson—

BrentonFor as I live, and by the power of my kingdom, whatsoever I have spoken, that will I do by mine hand.

GreekὍτι ζῶν ἐγὼ, καὶ τὸ κράτος τῆς βασιλείας μου, λελάληκα, καὶ ποιήσω ταῦτα ἐν χειρί μου.

Thomson—

BrentonAnd take thou heed that thou transgress none of the commandments of thy lord, but accomplish them fully, as I have commanded thee, and defer not to do them.

GreekΚαὶ σὺ δὲ οὐ παραβήσῃ ἕν τι τῶν ῥημάτων τοῦ κυρίου σου, ἀλλʼ ἐπιτελῶν ἐπιτελέσεις, καθότι προστέταχά σοι, καὶ οὐ μακρυνεῖς τοῦ ποιῆσαι αὐτά.

Thomson—

BrentonThen Holofernes went forth from the presence of his lord, and called all the governors and captains, and the officers of the army of Assur;

GreekΚαὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ὀλοφέρνης ἀπὸ προσώπου τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐκάλεσε πάντας τοὺς δυνάστας, καὶ τοὺς στρατηγοὺς, καὶ ἐπιστάτας τῆς δυνάμεως Ἀσσοὺρ,

Thomson—

Brentonand he mustered the chosen men for the battle, as his lord had commanded him, unto an hundred and twenty thousand, and twelve thousand archers on horseback;

Greekκαὶ ἠρίθμησεν ἐκλεκτοὺς ἄνδρας εἰς παράταξιν, καθότι ἐκέλευσεν αὐτῷ ὁ κύριος αὐτοῦ, εἰς μυριάδας δεκαδύο, καὶ ἱππεῖς τοξότας μυρίους δισχιλίους,

Thomson—

Brentonand he ranged them, as a great army is ordered for the war.

Greekκαὶ διέταξεν αὐτοὺς ὃν τρόπον πολέμου πλῆθος συντάσσεται.

Thomson—

BrentonAnd he took camels and asses for their carriages, a very great number; and sheep and oxen and goats without number for their provision:

GreekΚαὶ ἔλαβε καμήλους καὶ ὄνους καὶ ἡμιόνους εἰς τὴν ἀπαρτίαν αὐτῶν, πλῆθος πολὺ σφόδρα, καὶ πρόβατα καὶ βόας καὶ αἶγας εἰς τὴν παρασκευὴν αὐτῶν, ὧν οὐκ ἦν ἀριθμός,

Thomson—

Brentonand plenty of victual for every man of the army, and very much gold and silver out of the king's house.

Greekκαὶ ἐπισιτισμὸν παντὶ ἀνδρὶ εἰς πλῆθος, καὶ χρυσίον καὶ ἀργύριον ἐξ οἴκου βασιλέως πολὺ σφόδρα.

Thomson—

BrentonThen he went forth and all his power to go before king Nabuchodonosor in the voyage, and to cover all the face of the earth westward with their chariots, and horsemen and their chosen footmen.

GreekΚαὶ ἐξῆλθεν αὐτὸς καὶ πᾶσα ἡ δύναμις αὐτοῦ εἰς πορείαν τοῦ προελθεῖν βασιλέως Ναβουχοδονόσορ, καὶ καλύψαι πᾶν τὸ πρόσωπον τῆς γῆς πρὸς δυσμαῖς ἐν ἅρμασι καὶ ἱππεῦσι καὶ πεζοῖς ἐπιλέκτοις αὐτῶν.

Thomson—

BrentonA great number also of sundry countries came with them like locusts, and like the sand of the earth: for the multitude was without number.

GreekΚαὶ πολὺς ὁ ἐπίμικτος ὡς ἀκρὶς τυνεξῆλθον αὐτοῖς, καὶ ὡς ἡ ἄμμος τῆς γῇς· οὐ γὰρ ἦν ἀριθμὸς ἀπὸ πλήθους αὐτῶν.

Thomson—

BrentonAnd they went forth of Nineve three days' journey toward the plain of Bectileth, and pitched from Bectileth near the mountain which is at the left hand of the upper Cilicia.

GreekΚαὶ ἀπῆλθον ἐκ Νινευὴ ὁδὸν τριῶν ἡμερῶν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον τοῦ πεδίου Βαικτιλαὶθ, καὶ ἐπεστρατοπέδευσεν ἀπὸ Βαικτιλαὶθ πλησίον τοῦ ὄρους τοῦ ἐπʼ ἀριστερᾷ τῆς ἄνω Κιλικίας.

Thomson—

BrentonThen he took all his army, his footmen, and horsemen, and chariots, and went from thence into the hill country;

GreekΚαὶ ἔλαβε πᾶσαν τὴν δύναμιν αὐτοῦ, τοὺς πεζοὺς, καὶ τοὺς ἱππεῖς, καὶ τὰ ἅρματα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀπῆλθεν ἐκεῖθεν εἰς τὴν ὀρεινήν.

Thomson—

Brentonand destroyed Phud and Lud, and spoiled all the children of Rasses, and the children of Ismael, which were toward the wilderness at the south of the land of the Chellians.

GreekΚαὶ διέκοψε τὸ Φοὺδ καὶ Λοὺδ, καὶ ἐπρονόμευσαν πάντας υἱοὺς Ῥασσὶς, καὶ υἱοὺς Ἰσμαὴλ τοὺς κατὰ πρόσωπον τῆς ἐρήμου πρὸς Νότον τῆς Χελλαίων.

Thomson—

BrentonThen he went over Euphrates, and went through Mesopotamia, and destroyed all the high cities that were upon the river Arbonai, till ye come to the sea.

GreekΚαὶ παρῆλθε τὸν Εὐφράτην, καὶ διῆλθε τὴν Μεσοποταμίαν, καὶ διέσκαψε πάσας τὰς πόλεις τὰς ὑψηλὰς τὰς ἐπὶ τοῦ χειμαῤῥοῦ Ἀβρωνᾶ ἕως τοῦ ἐλθεῖν ἐπὶ θάλασσαν.

Thomson—

BrentonAnd he took the borders of Cilicia, and killed all that resisted him, and came to the borders of Japheth, which were toward the south, over against Arabia.

GreekΚαὶ κατελάβετο τὰ ὅρια τῆς Κιλίκιας, καὶ κατέκοψε πάντας τοὺς ἀντιστάντας αὐτῷ· καὶ ἦλθεν ἕως ὁρίων Ἰάφεθ, τὰ πρὸς Νότον κατὰ πρόσωπον τῆς Ἀραβίας.

Thomson—

BrentonHe compassed also all the children of Madian, and burned up their tabernacles, and spoiled their sheepcotes.

GreekΚαὶ ἐκύκλωσε πάντας τοὺς υἱοὺς Μαδιὰν, καὶ ἐνέπρησε τὰ σκηνώματα αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐπρονόμευσε τὰς μάνδρας αὐτῶν.

Thomson—

BrentonThen he went down into the plain of Damascus in the time of wheat harvest, and burnt up all their fields, and destroyed their flocks and herds, also he spoiled their cities, and utterly wasted their countries, and smote all their young men with the edge of the sword.

GreekΚαὶ κατέβη εἰς πεδίον Δαμασκοῦ ἐν ἡμέραις θερισμοῦ πυρῶν, καὶ ἐνέπρησε πάντας τοὺς ἀγροὺς αὐτῶν· καὶ τὰ ποίμνια καὶ τὰ βουκόλια ἔδωκεν εἰς ἀφανισμὸν, καὶ τὰς πόλεις αὐτῶν ἐσκύλευσε, καὶ τὰ πεδία αὐτῶν ἐξελίκμησε, καὶ ἐπάταξε πάντας τοὺς νεανίσκους αὐτῶν ἐν στόματι ῥομφαίας.

Thomson—

BrentonTherefore the fear and dread of him fell upon all the inhabitants of the sea coasts, which were in Sidon and Tyrus, and them that dwelt in Sur and Ocina, and all that dwelt in Jemnaan; and they that dwelt in Azotus and Ascalon feared him greatly.

GreekΚαὶ ἐπέπεσεν ὁ φόβος καὶ ὁ τρόμος αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας τὴν παραλίαν, τοὺς ὄντας ἐν Σιδῶνι καὶ Τύρῳ, καὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Σοὺρ, καὶ Ὀκινὰ, καὶ πάντας τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Ἱεμναάν· καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν Ἀζώτῳ καὶ Ἀσκάλωνι ἐφοβήθησαν αὐτὸν σφόδρα.
