| 1 | Now it came to pass, after that Alexander the son of Philip the Macedonian, who first reigned in Greece, coming out of the land of Cethim, had overthrown Darius king of the Persians and Medes: | Et factum est, postquam percussit Alexander Philippi Macedo, qui primus regnavit in Graecia, egressus de terra Cethim, Darium regem Persarum et Medorum: | ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο μετὰ τὸ πατάξαι Ἀλέξανδρον τὸν Φιλίππου τὸν Μακεδόνα, ὃς ἐξῆλθεν ἐκ τῆς γῆς Χεττειεὶμ, καὶ ἐπάταξε τὸν Δαρεῖον βασιλέα Περσῶν καὶ Μήδων, καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ πρότερος ἐπὶ τὴν Ἑλλάδα. |
| 2 | He fought many battles, and took the strong holds of all, and slew the kings of the earth: | constituit praelia multa, et obtinuit omnium munitiones, et interfecit reges terrae, | Καὶ συνεστήσατο πολέμους πολλοὺς, καὶ ἐκράτησεν ὀχυρωμάτων πολλῶν, καὶ ἔσφαξε βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς. |
| 3 | And he went through even to the ends of the earth, and took the spoils of many nations: and the earth was quiet before him. | et pertransiit usque ad fines terrae: et accepit spolia multitudinis gentium, et siluit terra in conspectu eius. | Καὶ διῆλθεν ἕως ἄκρων τῆς γῆς, καὶ ἔλαβε σκῦλα πλήθους ἐθνῶν· καὶ ἠσύχασεν ἡ γῆ ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ· καὶ ὑψώθη, καὶ ἐπῄρθη ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ. |
| 4 | And he gathered a power, and a very strong army: and his heart was exalted and lifted up. | Et congregavit virtutem, et exercitum fortem nimis: et exaltatum est, et elevatum cor eius: | Καὶ συνήγαγε δύναμιν ἰσχυρὰν σφόδρα, καὶ ἦρξε χωρῶν, καὶ ἐθνῶν, καὶ τυράννων, καὶ ἐγένοντο αὐτῷ εἰς φόρον. |
| 5 | And he subdued countries of nations, and princes: and they became tributaries to him. | et obtinuit regiones gentium, et tyrannos: et facti sunt illi in tributum. | Καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ τὴν κοίτην, καὶ ἔγνω ὅτι ἀποθνήσκει. |
| 6 | And after these things, he fell down upon his bed, and knew that he should die. | Et post haec decidit in lectum, et cognovit quia moreretur. | Καὶ ἐκάλεσε τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ τοὺς ἐνδόξους τοὺς συντρόφους αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ νεότητος, καὶ διεῖλεν αὐτοῖς τὴν βασιλείαν αὐτοῦ ἔτι ζῶντος αὐτοῦ. |
| 7 | And he called his servants the nobles that were brought up with him from his youth: and he divided his kingdom among them, while he was yet alive. | Et vocavit pueros suos nobiles, qui secum erant nutriti a iuventute: et divisit illis regnum suum, cum adhuc viveret. | Καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ἀλέξανδρος ἔτη δώδεκα, καὶ ἀπέθανε. |
| 8 | And Alexander reigned twelve years, and he died. | Et regnavit Alexander annis duodecim, et mortuus est. | Καὶ ἐπεκράτησαν οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ ἕκαστος ἐν τῷ τόπῳ αὐτοῦ. |
| 9 | And his servants made themselves kings every one in his place: | Et obtinuerunt pueri eius regnum, unusquisque in loco suo: | Καὶ ἐπέθεντο πάντες διαδήματα μετὰ τὸ ἀποθανεῖν αὐτὸν, καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτῶν ὀπίσω αὐτῶν ἔτη πολλὰ, καὶ ἐπλήθυναν κακὰ ἐν τῇ γῇ. |
| 10 | And they all put crowns upon themselves after his death, and their sons after them many years, and evils were multiplied in the earth. | et imposuerunt omnes sibi diademata post mortem eius, et filii eorum post eos annis multis, et multiplicata sunt mala in terra. | Καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἐξ αὐτῶν ῥίζα ἁμαρτωλὸς Ἀντίοχος Ἐπιφανὴς, υἱὸς Ἀντιόχου βασιλέως, ὃς ἦν ὅμηρα ἐν τῇ Ῥώμῃ· καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν ἔτει ἑκατοστῷ καὶ τριακοστῷ καὶ ἑβδόμῳ βασιλείας Ἑλλήνων. |
| 11 | And there came out of them a wicked root, Antiochus the Illustrious, the son of king Antiochus, who had been a hostage at Rome: and he reigned in the hundred and thirty-seventh year of the kingdom of the Greeks. | Et exiit ex eis radix peccatrix, Antiochus illustris, filius Antiochi regis, qui fuerat Romae obses: et regnavit in anno centesimo trigesimo septimo regni Graecorum. | Ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις ἐξῆλθον ἐξ Ἰσραὴλ υἱοὶ παράνομοι, καὶ ἀνέπεισαν πολλοὺς, λέγοντες, πορευθῶμεν, καὶ διαθώμεθα διαθήκην μετὰ τῶν ἐθνῶν τῶν κύκλῳ ἡμῶν, ὅτι ἀφʼ ἧς ἐχωρίσθημεν ἀπʼ αὐτῶν, εὗρεν ἡμᾶς κακὰ πολλά. |
| 12 | In those days there went out of Israel wicked men, and they persuaded many, saying: Let us go, and make a covenant with the heathens that are round about us: for since we departed from them, many evils have befallen us. | In diebus illis, exierunt ex Israël filii iniqui, et suaserunt multis, dicentes: Eamus, et disponamus testamentum cum gentibus, quae circa nos sunt: quia ex quo recessimus ab eis, invenerunt nos multa mala. | Καὶ ἠγαθύνθη ὁ λόγος ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτῶν. |
| 13 | And the word seemed good in their eyes. | Et bonus visus est sermo in oculis eorum. | Καὶ προεθυμήθησάν τινες ἀπὸ τοῦ λαοῦ, καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα· καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς ἐξουσίαν ποιῆσαι τὰ δικαιώματα τῶν ἐθνῶν. |
| 14 | And some of the people determined to do this, and went to the king: and he gave them license to do after the ordinances of the heathens. | Et destinaverunt aliqui de populo, et abierunt ad regem: et dedit illis potestatem ut facerent iustitiam gentium. | Καὶ ᾠκοδόμησαν γυμνάσιον ἐν Ἱεροσολύμοις κατὰ τὰ νόμιμα τῶν ἐθνῶν. |
| 15 | And they built a place of exercise in Jerusalem, according to the laws of the nations: | Et aedificaverunt gymnasium in Ierosolymis secundum leges nationum: | Καὶ ἐποίησαν ἑαυτοῖς ἀκροβυστίας, καὶ ἀπέστησαν ἀπὸ διαθήκης ἁγίας· καὶ ἐζεύχθησαν τοῖς ἔθνεσι, καὶ ἐπράθησαν τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὸ πονηρόν. |
| 16 | And they made themselves prepuces, and departed from the holy covenant, and joined themselves to the heathens, and were sold to do evil. | et fecerunt sibi praeputia, et recesserunt a testamento sancto, et iuncti sunt nationibus, et venundati sunt ut facerent malum. | Καὶ ἡτοιμάσθη ἡ βασιλεία ἐναντίον Ἀντιόχου· καὶ ὑπέλαβε βασιλεῦσαι τῆς Αἰγύπτου, ὅπως βασιλεύσῃ ἐπὶ τὰς δύο βασιλείας. |
| 17 | And the kingdom was established before Antiochus, and he had a mind to reign over the land of Egypt, that he might reign over two kingdoms. | Et paratum est regnum in conspectu Antiochi, et coepit regnare in terra Aegypti ut regnaret super duo regna. | Καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς Αἴγυπτον ἐν ὄχλῳ βαρεῖ, ἐν ἅρμασι, καὶ ἐν ἐλέφασι, καὶ ἐν ἱππεῦσι, καὶ ἐν στόλῳ μεγάλῳ. |
| 18 | And he entered into Egypt with a great multitude, with chariots and elephants, and horsemen, and a great number of ships: | Et intravit in Aegyptum in multitudine gravi, in curribus, et elephantis, et equitibus, et copiosa navium multitudine: | Καὶ συνεστήσατο πόλεμον πρὸς Πτολεμαῖον βασιλέα Αἰγύπτου· καὶ ἐνετράπη Πτολεμαῖος ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔφυγε· καὶ ἔπεσον τραυματίαι πολλοί. |
| 19 | And he made war against Ptolemee king of Egypt, but Ptolemee was afraid at his presence, and fled, and many were wounded unto death. | et constituit bellum adversus Ptolemaeum regem Aegypti, et veritus est Ptolemaeus a facie eius, et fugit, et ceciderunt vulnerati multi. | Καὶ κατελάβοντο τὰς πόλεις τὰς ὀχυρὰς ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ· καὶ ἔλαβε τὰ σκῦλα γῆς Αἰγύπτου. |
| 20 | And he took the strong cities in the land of Egypt: and he took the spoils of the land of Egypt. | Et comprehendit civitates munitas in terra Aegypti, et accepit spolia terrae Aegypti. | Καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν Ἀντιόχος μετὰ τὸ πατάξαι Αἴγυπτον ἐν τῷ ἑκατοστῷ καὶ τεσσαρακοστῷ καὶ τρίτῳ ἔτει· καὶ ἀνέβη ἐπὶ Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἀνέβη εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐν ὄχλῳ βαρεῖ. |
| 21 | And after Antiochus had ravaged Egypt in the hundred and forty-third year, he returned and went up against Israel. | Et convertit Antiochus, postquam percussit Aegyptum in centesimo et quadragesimo tertio anno: et ascendit ad Israël, | Καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸ ἁγίασμα ἐν ὑπερηφανείᾳ, καὶ ἔλαβε τὸ θυσιαστήριον τὸ χρυσοῦν, καὶ τὴν λυχνίαν τοῦ φωτὸς, καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη αὐτῆς, |
| 22 | And he went up to Jerusalem with a great multitude. | et ascendit Ierosolymam in multitudine gravi. | καὶ τὴν τράπεζαν τῆς προθέσεως, καὶ τὰ σπονδεῖα, καὶ τὰς φιάλας, καὶ τὰς θυΐσκας τὰς χρυσᾶς, καὶ τὸ καταπέτασμα, καὶ τοὺς στεφάνους, καὶ τὸν κόσμον τὸν χρυσοῦν τὸν κατὰ πρόσωπον τοῦ ναοῦ, καὶ ἐλέπισε πάντα. |
| 23 | And he proudly entered into the sanctuary, and took away the golden altar, and the candlestick of light, and all the vessels thereof, and the table of proposition, and the pouring vessels, and the vials, and the little mortars of gold, and the veil, and the crowns, and the golden ornament that was before the temple: and he broke them all in pieces. | Et intravit in sanctificationem cum superbia, et accepit altare aureum, et candelabrum luminis, et universa vasa eius, et mensam propositionis, et libatoria, et phialas, et mortariola aurea, et velum, et coronas, et ornamentum aureum, quod in facie templi erat: et comminuit omnia. | Καὶ ἔλαβε τὸ ἀργύριον, καὶ τὸ χρυσίον, καὶ τὰ σκεύη τὰ ἐπιθυμητά· καὶ ἔλαβε τοὺς θησαυροὺς τοὺς ἀποκρύφους οὓς εὗρε. |
| 24 | And he took the silver and gold, and the precious vessels: and he took the hidden treasures which he found: and when he had taken all away he departed into his own country. | Et accepit argentum, et aurum, et vasa concupiscibilia: et accepit thesauros occultos, quos invenit: et sublatis omnibus, abiit in terram suam. | Καὶ λαβὼν πάντα ἀπῆλθεν εἰς τὴν γῆν αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐποίησε φονοκτονίαν, καὶ ἐλάλησεν ὑπερηφανείαν μεγάλην. |
| 25 | And he made a great slaughter of men, and spoke very proudly. | Et fecit caedem hominum, et locutus est in superbia magna. | Καὶ ἐγένετο πένθος μέγα ἐπὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν παντὶ τόπῳ αὐτῶν. |
| 26 | And there was great mourning in Israel, and in every place where they were. | Et factus est planctus magnus in Israël, et in omni loco eorum: | Καὶ ἐστέναξαν ἄρχοντες καὶ πρεσβύτεροι, παρθένοι καὶ νεανίσκοι ἠσθένησαν, καὶ τὸ κάλλος τῶν γυναικῶν ἠλλοιώθη. |
| 27 | And the princes, and the ancients mourned, and the virgins and the young men were made feeble, and the beauty of the women was changed. | et ingemuerunt principes et seniores; virgines et iuvenes infirmati sunt: et speciositas mulierum immutata est. | Πᾶς νυμφίος ἀνέλαβε θρῆνον, καὶ καθημένη ἐν παστῷ ἐγένετο ἐν πένθει. |
| 28 | Every bridegroom took up lamentation: and the bride that set in the marriage bed, mourned: | Omnis maritus sumpsit lamentum, et quae sedebant in thoro maritali, lugebant: | Καὶ ἐσείσθη ἡ γῆ ἐπὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας αὐτήν· καὶ πᾶς ὁ οἶκος Ἰακὼβ ἐνεδύσατο αἰσχύνην. |
| 29 | And the land was moved for the inhabitants thereof, and all the house of Jacob was covered with confusion. | et commota est terra super habitantes in ea, et universa domus Iacob induit confusionem. | Καὶ μετὰ δύο ἔτη ἡμερῶν ἀπέστειλεν ὁ βασιλεὺς ἄρχοντα φορολογίας εἰς τὰς πόλεις Ἰούδα· καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐν ὄχλῳ βαρεῖ. |
| 30 | And after two full years the king sent the chief collector of his tributes to the cities of Juda, and he came to Jerusalem with a great multitude. | Et post duos annos dierum, misit rex principem tributorum in civitates Iuda, et venit Ierusalem cum turba magna. | Καὶ ἐλάλησεν αὐτοῖς λόγους εἰρηνικοὺς ἐν δόλῳ· καὶ ἐνεπίστευσαν αὐτῷ· καὶ ἐπέπεσεν ἐπὶ τὴν πόλιν ἐξάπινα, καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτὴν πληγὴν μεγάλην, καὶ ἀπώλεσε λαὸν πολὺν ἐξ Ἰσραήλ. |
| 31 | And he spoke to them peaceable words in deceit: and they believed him. | Et locutus est ad eos verba pacifica in dolo: et crediderunt ei. | Καὶ ἔλαβε τὰ σκῦλα τῆς πόλεως, καὶ ἐνεπύρισεν αὐτὴν πυρὶ, καὶ καθεῖλε τοὺς οἴκους αὐτῆς καὶ τὰ τείχη αὐτῆς κύκλῳ. |
| 32 | And he fell upon the city suddenly, and struck it with a great slaughter, and destroyed much people in Israel. | Et irruit super civitatem repente, et percussit eam plaga magna, et perdidit populum multum ex Israël. | Καὶ ᾐχμαλώτευσαν τὰς γυναῖκας καὶ τὰ τέκνα, καὶ τὰ κτήνη ἐκληρονόμησαν. |
| 33 | And he took the spoils of the city, and burnt it with fire, and threw down the houses thereof, and the walls thereof round about: | Et accepit spolia civitatis: et succendit eam igni, et destruxit domos eius, et muros eius in circuitu: | Καὶ ᾠκοδόμησαν τὴν πόλιν Δαυὶδ τείχει μεγάλῳ καὶ ἰσχυρῷ, πύργοις ὀχυροῖς, καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτοῖς εἰς ἄκραν. |
| 34 | And they took the women captive, and the children, and the cattle they possessed. | et captivas duxerunt mulieres, et natos et pecora possederunt. | καὶ ἔθηκαν ἐκεῖ ἔθνος ἁμαρτωλὸν, ἄνδρας παρανόμους, καὶ ἐνίσχυσαν ἐν αὐτῇ. |
| 35 | And they built the city of David with a great and strong wall, and with strong towers, and made it a fortress for them: | Et aedificaverunt civitatem David muro magno et firmo, et turribus firmis, et facta est illis in arcem: | Καὶ παρέθεντο ὅπλα καὶ τροφὰς, καὶ συναγαγόντες τὰ σκῦλα Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἀπέθεντο ἐκεῖ· καὶ ἐγένοντο εἰς μεγάλην παγίδα. |
| 36 | And they placed there a sinful nation, wicked men, and they fortified themselves therein: and they stored up armour, and victuals, and gathered together the spoils of Jerusalem; | et posuerunt illic gentem peccatricem viros iniquos, et convaluerunt in ea: et posuerunt arma, et escas, et congregaverunt spolia Ierusalem: | Καὶ ἐγένετο εἰς ἔνεδρον τῷ ἁγιάσματι, καὶ εἰς διάβολον πονηρὸν τῷ Ἰσραὴλ διαπαντός. |
| 37 | And laid them up there: and they became a great snare. | et reposuerunt illic: et facti sunt in laqueum magnum. | Καὶ ἐξέχεαν αἷμα ἀθῷον κύκλῳ τοῦ ἁγιάσματος, καὶ ἐμόλυναν τὸ ἁγίασμα. |
| 38 | And this was a place to lie in wait against the sanctuary, and an evil devil in Israel. | Et factum est hoc ad insidias sanctificationi, et in diabolum malum in Israël: | Καὶ ἔφυγον οἱ κάτοικοι Ἱερουσαλὴμ διʼ αὐτοὺς, καὶ ἐγένετο κατοικία ἀλλοτρίων· καὶ ἐγένετο ἀλλοτρία τοῖς γεννήμασιν αὐτῆς, καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῆς ἐγκατέλιπον αὐτήν. |
| 39 | And they shed innocent blood round about the sanctuary, and defiled the holy place. | et effuderunt sanguinem innocentem per circuitum sanctificationis, et contaminaverunt sanctificationem. | Τὸ ἁγίασμα αὐτῆς ἠρημώθη ὡς ἔρημος, αἱ ἑορταὶ αὐτῆς ἐστράφησαν εἰς πένθος, τὰ σάββατα αὐτῆς εἰς ὀνειδισμὸν, ἡ τιμὴ αὐτῆς εἱς ἐξουδένωσιν. |
| 40 | And the inhabitants of Jerusalem fled away by reason of them, and the city was made the habitation to strangers, and she became a stranger to her own seed, and her children forsook her. | Et fugerunt habitatores Ierusalem propter eos, et facta est habitatio exterorum, et facta est extera semini suo, et nati eius reliquerunt eam. | Κατὰ τὴν δόξαν αὐτῆς ἐπληθύνθη ἡ ἀτιμία αὐτῆς, καὶ τὸ ὕψος αὐτῆς ἐστράφη εἰς πένθος. |
| 41 | Her sanctuary was desolate like a wilderness, her festival days were turned into mourning, her sabbaths into reproach, her honours were brought to nothing. | Sanctificatio eius desolata est sicut solitudo; dies festi eius conversi sunt in luctum, sabbata eius in opprobrium, honores eius in nihilum. | Καὶ ἔγραψεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἀντίοχος πάσῃ τῇ βασιλείᾳ αὐτοῦ εἶναι πάντας λαὸν ἕνα, |
| 42 | Her dishonour was increased according to her glory, and her excellency was turned into mourning. | Secundum gloriam eius multiplicata est ignominia eius, et sublimitas eius conversa est in luctum. | καὶ ἐγκαταλιπεῖν ἕκαστον τὰ νόμιμα αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐπεδέξατο πάντα τὰ ἔθνη κατὰ τὸν λόγον τοῦ βασιλέως. |
| 43 | And king Antiochus wrote to all his kingdom, that all the people should be one: and every one should leave his own law. | Et scripsit rex Antiochus omni regno suo ut esset omnis populus unus: et relinqueret unusquisque legem suam. | Καὶ πολλοὶ ἀπὸ Ἰσραὴλ εὐδόκησαν τῇ λατρείᾳ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔθυσαν τοῖς εἰδώλοις, καὶ ἐβεβήλωσαν τὸ σάββατον. |
| 44 | And all nations consented according to the word of king Antiochus. | Et consenserunt omnes gentes secundum verbum regis Antiochi: | Καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ βασιλεὺς βιβλία ἐν χειρὶ ἀγγέλων εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ τὰς πόλεις Ἰούδα, πορευθῆναι ὀπίσω νομίμων ἀλλοτρίων τῆς γῆς, |
| 45 | And many of Israel consented to his service, and they sacrificed to idols, and profaned the sabbath. | et multi ex Israël consenserunt servituti eius, et sacrificaverunt idolis, et coinquinaverunt sabbatum. | καὶ κωλῦσαι ὁλοκαυτώματα καὶ θυσίαν καὶ σπονδὴν ἐκ τοῦ ἁγιάσματος, καὶ βεβηλῶσαι σάββατα καὶ ἑορτὰς, |
| 46 | And the king sent letters by the hands of messengers to Jerusalem, and to all the cities of Juda: that they should follow the law of the nations of the earth, | Et misit rex libros per manus nuntiorum in Ierusalem, et in omnes civitates Iuda, ut sequerentur leges gentium terrae, | καὶ μιᾶναι ἁγίασμα καὶ ἁγίους· |
| 47 | And should forbid holocausts and sacrifices, and atonements to be made in the temple of God. | et prohiberent holocausta et sacrificia, et placationes fieri in templo Dei, | οἰκοδομῆσαι βωμοὺς, καὶ τεμένη, καὶ εἰδωλεῖα, καὶ θύειν ὕεια, καὶ κτήνη κοινὰ, |
| 48 | And should prohibit the sabbath, and the festival days, to be celebrated. | et prohiberent celebrari sabbatum, et dies solemnes: | καὶ ἀφιέναι τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτῶν ἀπεριτμήτους, βδελύξαι τὰς ψυχὰς αὐτῶν ἐν παντὶ ἀκαθάρτῳ καὶ βεβηλώσει, |
| 49 | And he commanded the holy places to be profaned, and the holy people of Israel. | et iussit coinquinari sancta, et sanctum populum Israël. | ὥστε ἐπιλαθέσθαι τοῦ νόμου, καὶ ἀλλάξαι πάντα τὰ δικαιώματα. |
| 50 | And he commanded altars to be built, and temples, and idols, and swine’s flesh to be immolated, and unclean beasts. | Et iussit aedificari aras, et templa, et idola, et immolari carnes suillas, et pecora communia, | Καὶ ὃς ἂν μὴ ποιήσῃ κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦ βασιλέως, ἀποθανεῖται. |
| 51 | And that they should leave their children uncircumcised, and let their souls be defiled with all uncleannesses, and abominations, to the end that they should forget the law, and should change all the justifications of God. | et relinquere filios suos incircumcisos, et coinquinari animas eorum in omnibus immundis, et abominationibus, ita ut obliviscerentur legem, et immutarent omnes iustificationes Dei: | Κατὰ πάντας τοὺς λόγους τούτους ἔγραψε πάσῃ τῇ βασιλείᾳ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐποίησεν ἐπισκόπους ἐπὶ πάντα τὸν λαόν· καὶ ἐνετείλατο ταῖς πόλεσιν Ἰούδα θυσιάζειν κατὰ πόλιν καὶ πόλιν. |
| 52 | And that whosoever would not do according to the word of king Antiochus should be put to death. | et quicumque non fecissent secundum verbum regis Antiochi, morerentur. | Καὶ συνηθροίσθησαν ἀπὸ τοῦ λαοῦ πρὸς αὐτοὺς πολλοὶ, πᾶς ὁ ἐγκαταλιπὼν τὸν νόμον· καὶ ἐποιησαν κακὰ ἐν τῇ γῇ. |
| 53 | According to all these words he wrote to his whole kingdom, and he appointed rulers over the people that should force them to do these things. | Secundum omnia verba haec scripsit omni regno suo: et praeposuit principes populo, qui haec fieri cogerent. | Καὶ ἔθεντο τὸν Ἰσραὴλ ἐν κρύφοις ἐν παντὶ φυγαδευτηρίῳ αὐτῶν. |
| 54 | And they commanded the cities of Juda to sacrifice. | Et iusserunt civitatibus Iuda sacrificare. | Καὶ τῇ πεντεκαιδεκάτῃ ἡμέρᾳ Χασελεῦ, τῷ πέμπτῳ καὶ τεσσαρακοστῷ καὶ ἑκατοστῷ ἔτει, ᾠκοδόμησαν βδέλυγμα ἐρημώσεως ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον, καὶ ἐν πόλεσιν Ἰούδα κύκλῳ ᾠκοδόμησαν βωμούς. |
| 55 | Then many of the people were gathered to them that had forsaken the law of the Lord: and they committed evils in the land: | Et congregati sunt multi de populo ad eos qui dereliquerant legem Domini, et fecerunt mala super terram: | Καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν θυρῶν τῶν οἰκιῶν, καὶ ἐν ταῖς πλατείαις ἐθυμίων. |
| 56 | And they drove away the people of Israel into lurking holes, and into the secret places of fugitives. | et effugaverunt populum Israël in abditis, et in absconditis fugitivorum locis. | Καὶ τὰ βιβλία τοῦ νόμου ἃ εὗρον, ἐνεπύρισαν πυρὶ κατασχίσαντες. |
| 57 | On the fifteenth day of the month Casleu, in the hundred and forty-fifth year, king Antiochus set up the abominable idol of desolation upon the altar of God, and they built altars throughout all the cities of Juda round about: | Die quintadecima mensis Casleu, quinto et quadragesimo et centesimo anno, aedificavit rex Antiochus abominandum idolum desolationis super altare Dei, et per universas civitates Iuda in circuitu aedificaverunt aras: | Καὶ ὅπου εὑρίσκετο παρά τινι βιβλίον διαθήκης, καὶ εἴ τις συνευδόκει τῷ νόμῳ, τὸ σύγκριμα τοῦ βασιλέως ἐθανάτου αὐτόν. |
| 58 | And they burnt incense, and sacrificed at the doors of the houses, and in the streets. | et ante ianuas domorum et in plateis incendebant thura, et sacrificabant: | Ἐν ἰσχύϊ αὐτῶν ἐποίουν οὕτως τῷ Ἰσραὴλ τοῖς εὑρισκομένοις ἐν παντὶ μηνὶ καὶ μηνὶ ἐν ταῖς πόλεσι. |
| 59 | And they cut in pieces, and burnt with fire the books of the law of God: | et libros legis Dei combusserunt igni, scindentes eos: | Καὶ τῇ πέμπτῃ καὶ εἰκάδι τοῦ μηνὸς θυσιάζοντες ἐπὶ τὸν βωμὸν ὃς ἦν ἐπὶ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου. |
| 60 | And every one with whom the books of the testament of the Lord were found, and whosoever observed the law of the Lord, they put to death, according to the edict of the king. | et apud quemcumque inveniebantur libri testamenti Domini, et quicumque observabat legem Domini, secundum edictum regis trucidabant eum. | Καὶ τὰς γυναῖκας τὰς περιτετμηκυίας τὰ τέκνα αὐτῶν ἐθανάτωσαν, κατὰ τὸ πρόσταγμα. |
| 61 | Thus by their power did they deal with the people of Israel, that were found in the cities month after month. | In virtute sua faciebant haec populo Israël, qui inveniebatur in omni mense et mense in civitatibus. | Καὶ ἐκρέμασαν τὰ βρέφη ἐκ τῶν τραχήλων αὐτῶν, καὶ τοὺς οἴκους αὐτῶν προενόμευσαν, καὶ τοὺς περιτετμηκότας αὐτοὺς ἐθανάτωσαν. |
| 62 | And on the five and twentieth day of the month they sacrificed upon the altar of the idol that was over against the altar of God. | Et quinta et vigesima die mensis sacrificabant super aram, quae erat contra altare. | Καὶ πολλοὶ ἐν Ἰσραὴλ ἐκραταιώθησαν, καὶ ὠχυρώθησαν ἐν ἑαυτοῖς τοῦ μὴ φαγεῖν κοινά. |
| 63 | Now the women that circumcised their children, were slain according to the commandment of king Antiochus. | Et mulieres, quae circumcidebant filios suos, trucidabantur secundum iussum regis Antiochi, | Καὶ ἐπελέξαντο ἀποθανεῖν, ἵνα μὴ μιανθῶσι τοῖς βρώμασι, καὶ μὴ βεβηλώσωσι διαθήκην ἁγίαν· καὶ ἀπέθανον. |
| 64 | And they hanged the children about their necks in all their houses: and those that had circumcised them, they put to death. | et suspendebant pueros a cervicibus per universas domos eorum: et eos, qui circumciderant illos, trucidabant. | Καὶ ἐγένετο ὀργὴ μεγάλη ἐπὶ Ἰσραὴλ σφόδρα. |
| 65 | And many of the people of Israel determined with themselves, that they would not eat unclean things: and they chose rather to die than to be defiled with unclean meats. | Et multi de populo Israël definierunt apud se, ut non manducarent immunda: et elegerunt magis mori, quam cibis coinquinari immundis: | — |
| 66 | And they would not break the holy law of God, and they were put to death: | et noluerunt infringere legem Dei sanctam, et trucidati sunt: | — |
| 67 | And there was very great wrath upon the people. | et facta est ira magna super populum valde. | — |
