| 1 | In the year one hundred and seventy-two, king Demetrius assembled has army, and went into Media to get him succours to fight against Tryphon. | Anno centesimo septuagesimo secundo, congregavit rex Demetrius exercitum suum, et abiit in Mediam ad contrahenda sibi auxilia, ut expugnaret Tryphonem. | Καὶ ἐν ἔτει δευτέρῳ καὶ ἑβδομηκοστῷ καὶ ἑκατοστῷ συνήγαγε Δημήτριος ὁ βασιλεὺς τὰς δυνάμεις αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐπορεύθη εἰς Μήδειαν τοῦ ἐπισπάσασθαι βοήθειαν αὐτῷ, ὅπως πολεμήσῃ τὸν Τρύφωνα. |
| 2 | And Arsaces the king of Persia and Media heard that Demetrius was entered within his borders, and he sent one of his princes to take him alive, and bring him to him. | Et audivit Arsaces rex Persidis et Mediae, quia intravit Demetrius confines suos: et misit unum de principibus suis ut comprehenderet eum vivum, et adduceret eum ad se. | Καὶ ἤκουσεν Ἀρσάκης ὁ βασιλεὺς τῆς Περσίδος καὶ Μηδειας ὅτι ἦλθε Δημήτριος εἰς τὰ ὅρια αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἕνα τῶν ἀρχόντων αὐτοῦ συλλάβεῖν αὐτὸν ζῶντα. |
| 3 | And he went and defeated the army of Demetrius: and took him, and brought him to Arsaces, and he put him into custody. | Et abiit, et percussit castra Demetrii: et comprehendit eum, et duxit eum ad Arsacem, et posuit eum in custodiam. | Καὶ ἐπορεύθη καὶ ἐπάταξε τὴν παρεμβολὴν Δημητρίου, καὶ συνέλαβεν αὐτὸν, καὶ ἤγαγεν αὐτὸν πρὸς Ἀρσάκην, καὶ ἔθετο αὐτὸν ἐν φυλακῇ. |
| 4 | And all the land of Juda was at rest all the days of Simon, and he sought the good of his nation: and his power, and his glory pleased them well all his days. | Et siluit omnis terra Iuda omnibus diebus Simonis, et quaesivit bona genti suae: et placuit illis potestas eius et gloria eius omnibus diebus. | Καὶ ἡσύχασεν ἡ γῆ Ἰούδα πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας Σίμωνος· καὶ ἐζήτησεν ἀγαθὰ τῷ ἔθνει αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἤρεσεν αὐτοῖς ἡ ἐξουσία αὐτοῦ καὶ ἡ δόξα αὐτοῦ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας. |
| 5 | And with all his glory he took Joppe for a haven, and made an entrance to the isles of the sea. | Et cum omni gloria sua accepit Ioppen in portum, et fecit introitum in insulis maris. | Καὶ μετὰ πάσης τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ ἔλαβε τὴν Ἰόππην εἰς λιμένα, καὶ ἐποιήσεν εἴσοδον ταῖς νήσοις τῆς θαλάσσης. |
| 6 | And he enlarged the bounds of his nation, and made himself master of the country. | Et dilatavit fines gentis suae, et obtinuit regionem. | Καὶ ἐπλάτυνε τὰ ὅρια τῷ ἔθνει αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐκράτησε τῆς χώρας. |
| 7 | And he gathered together a great number of captives, and had the dominion of Gazara, and of Bethsura, and of the castle: and took away all uncleanness out of it and there was none that resisted him. | Et congregavit captivitatem multam, et dominatus est Gazarae, et Bethsurae, et arci: et abstulit immunditias ex ea, et non erat qui resisteret ei. | Καὶ συνήγαγεν αἰχμαλωσίαν πολλὴν, καὶ ἐκυρίευσε Γαζαρῶν καὶ Βαιθσούρων καὶ τῆς ἄκρας· καὶ ἐξῇρε τὰς ἀκαθαρσίας ἐξ αὐτῆς, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ ἀντικείμενος αὐτῷ. |
| 8 | And every man tilled his land with peace: and the land of Juda yielded her increase, and the trees of the fields their fruit. | Et unusquisque colebat terram suam cum pace: et terra Iuda dabat fructus suos, et ligna camporum fructum suum. | Καὶ ἦσαν γεωργοῦντες τὴν γῆν αὐτῶν μετʼ εἰρήνης, καὶ ἡ γῆ ἐδίδου τὰ γεννήματα αὐτῆς, καὶ τὰ ξύλα τῶν πεδίων τὸν καρπὸν αὐτῶν. |
| 9 | The ancient men sat all in the streets, and treated together of the good things of the land, and the young men put on them glory, and the robes of war. | Seniores in plateis sedebant omnes, et de bonis terrae tractabant, et iuvenes induebant se gloriam, et stolas belli. | Πρεσβύτεροι ἐν ταῖς πλατείαις ἐκάθηντο, πάντες περὶ ἀγαθῶν ἐκοινολογοῦντο, καὶ οἱ νεανίσκοι ἐνεδύσαντο δόξας καὶ στολὰς πολέμου. |
| 10 | And he provided victuals for the cities, and he appointed that they should be furnished with ammunition, so that the fame of his glory was renowned even to the end of the earth. | Et civitatibus tribuebat alimonias, et constituebat eas ut essent vasa munitionis quoadusque nominatum est nomen gloriae eius usque ad extremum terrae. | Ταῖς πόλεσιν ἐχορήγησε βρώματα, καὶ ἔταξεν αὐτὰς ἐν σκεύεσιν ὀχυρώσεως, ἕως ὅτου ὠνομάσθη τὸ ὄνομα τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ ἕως ἄκρου τῆς γῆς. |
| 11 | He made peace in the land, and Israel rejoiced with great joy. | Fecit pacem super terram, et laetatus est Israël laetitia magna. | Ἐποίησε τὴν εἰρήνην ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, καὶ εὐφράνθη Ἰσραὴλ εὐφροσύνην μεγάλην. |
| 12 | And every man sat under his vine, and under his fig tree: and there was none to make them afraid. | Et sedit unusquisque sub vite sua, et sub ficulnea sua: et non erat qui eos terreret. | Καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἕκαστος ὑπὸ τὴν ἄμπελον αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν συκῆν αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ ἐκφοβῶν αὐτούς. |
| 13 | There was none left in the land to fight against them: kings were discomfited in those days. | Defecit impugnans eos super terram: reges contriti sunt in diebus illis. | Καὶ ἐξέλιπεν ὁ πολεμῶν αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, καὶ οἱ βασιλεῖς συνετρίβησαν ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις. |
| 14 | And he strengthened all those of his people that were brought low, and he sought the law, and took away every unjust and wicked man. | Et confirmavit omnes humiles populi sui, et legem exquisivit, et abstulit omnem iniquum et malum: | Καὶ ἐστήρισε πάντας τοὺς ταπεινοὺς τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ· τὸν νόμον ἐξεζήτησε, καὶ ἐξῇρε πάντα ἄνομον καὶ πονηρόν. |
| 15 | He glorified the sanctuary, and multiplied the vessels of the holy places. | sancta glorificavit, et multiplicavit vasa sanctorum. | Τὰ ἅγια ἐδόξασε, καὶ ἐπλήθυνε τὰ σκεύη τῶν ἁγίων. |
| 16 | And it was heard at Rome, and as far as Sparta, that Jonathan was dead: and they were very sorry. | Et auditum est Romae quia defunctus esset Ionathas, et usque in Spartiatas: et contristati sunt valde. | Καὶ ἠκούσθη ἐν Ῥώμῃ ὅτι ἀπέθανεν Ἰωνάθαν, καὶ ἕως Σπάρτης, καὶ ἐλυπήθησαν σφόδρα. |
| 17 | But when they heard that Simon his brother was made high priest in his place, and was possessed of all the country, and the cities therein: | Ut audierunt autem quod Simon frater eius factus esset summus sacerdos loco eius, et ipse obtineret omnem regionem, et civitates in ea, | Ὡς δὲ ἤκουσαν ὅτι Σίμων ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ γέγονεν ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ ἀρχιερεὺς, καὶ ἐπικρατεῖ τῆς χώρας καὶ τῶν πόλεων τῶν ἐν αὐτῇ. |
| 18 | They wrote to him in tables of brass, to renew the friendship and alliance which they had made with Judas, and with Jonathan his brethren. | scripserunt ad eum in tabulis aereis, ut renovarent amicitias et societatem quam fecerant cum Iuda et cum Ionatha, fratribus eius. | Ἔγραψαν πρὸς αὐτὸν δέλτοις χαλκαῖς, τοῦ ἀνανεώσασθαι πρὸς αὐτὸν φιλίαν καὶ τὴν συμμαχίαν ἣν ἔστησαν πρὸς Ἰούδαν καὶ Ἰωνάθαν τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ. |
| 19 | And they were read before the assembly in Jerusalem. And this is the copy of the letters that the Spartans sent. | Et lectae sunt in conspectu ecclesiae in Ierusalem. Et hoc exemplum epistolarum, quas Spartiatae miserunt: | Καὶ ἀνεγνώσθησαν ἐνώπιον τῆς ἐκκλησίας ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ. |
| 20 | The princes and the cities of the Spartans to Simon the high priest, and to the ancients, and the priests, and the rest of the people of the Jews their brethren, greeting. | Spartianorum principes et civitates, Simoni sacerdoti magno, et senioribus, et sacerdotibus, et reliquo populo Iudaeorum, fratribus, salutem. | Καὶ τοῦτο τὸ ἀντίγραφον τῶν ἐπιστολῶν ὧν ἀπέστειλαν οἱ Σπαρτιάται· Σπαρτιατῶν ἄρχοντες καὶ ἡ πόλις Σίμωνι ἱερεῖ μεγάλῳ, καὶ τοῖς πρεσβυτέροις, καὶ τοῖς ἱερεῦσι, καὶ τῷ λοιπῷ δήμῳ τῶν Ἰουδαίων ἀδελφοῖς χαίρειν. |
| 21 | The ambassadors that were sent to our people, have told us of your glory, and honour, and joy: and we rejoice at their coming. | Legati, qui missi sunt ad populum nostrum, nuntiaverunt nobis de vestra gloria, et honore, ac laetitia: et gavisi sumus in introitu eorum. | Οἱ πρεσβεύται οἱ ἀποσταλέντες πρὸς τὸν δῆμον ἡμῶν ἀπήγγειλαν ἡμῖν περὶ τῆς δόξης ὑμῶν καὶ τιμῆς, καὶ εὐφράνθημεν ἐπὶ τῆ ἐφόδῳ αὐτῶν. |
| 22 | And we registered what was said by them in the councils of the people in this manner: Numenius the son of Antiochus, and Antipater the son of Jason, ambassadors of the Jews, came to us to renew the former friendship with us. | Et scripsimus quae ab eis erant dicta in conciliis populi, sic: Numenius Antiochi, et Antipater Iasonis filius, legati Iudaeorum, venerunt ad nos, renovantes nobiscum amicitiam pristinam. | Καὶ ἀνεγράψαμεν τὰ ὑπʼ αὐτῶν εἰρημένα ἐν ταῖς βουλαῖς τοῦ δήμου οὕτως, Νουμήνιος Ἀντιόχου καὶ Ἀντίπατρος Ἰάσωνος πρεσβευταὶ Ἰουδαίων ἤλθοσαν πρὸς ἡμᾶς ἀνανεούμενοι τὴν πρὸς ἡμᾶς φιλίαν. |
| 23 | And it pleased the people to receive the men honourably, and to put a copy of their words in the public records, to be a memorial to the people of the Spartans. And we have written a copy of them to Simon the high priest. | Et placuit populo excipere viros gloriose, et ponere exemplum sermonum eorum in segregatis populi libris, ut sit ad memoriam populo Spartiatarum. Exemplum autem horum scripsimus Simoni magno sacerdoti. | Καὶ ἤρεσε τῷ δήμῳ ἐπιδέξασθαι τοὺς ἄνδρας ἐνδόξως, καὶ τοῦ θέσθαι τὸ ἀντίγραφον τῶν λόγων αὐτῶν ἐν τοῖς ἀποδεδειγμένοις τοῦ δήμου βιβλίοις, τοῦ ἔχειν μνημόσυνον τὸν δῆμον τῶν Σπαρτιατῶν· τὸ δὲ ἀντίγραφον τούτων ἐγράψαμεν Σίμωνι τῷ ἀρχιερεῖ. |
| 24 | And after this Simon sent Numenius to Rome, with a great shield of gold the weight of a thousand pounds, to confirm the league with them. And when the people of Rome had heard | Post haec autem misit Simon Numenium Romam, habentem clypeum aureum magnum, pondo mnarum mille, ad statuendam cum eis societatem. Cum autem audisset populus Romanus | Μετὰ ταῦτα ἀπέστειλε Σίμων τὸν Νουμήνιον εἰς Ῥώμην ἔχοντα ἀσπίδα χρυσῆν μεγάλην ὁλκῆς μνῶν χιλιων, εἰς τὸ στῆσαι πρὸς αὐτοὺς τὴν συμμαχίαν. |
| 25 | These words, they said: What thanks shall we give to Simon, and his sons? | sermones istos, dixerunt: Quam gratiarum actionem reddemus Simoni, et filiis eius? | Ὡς δὲ ἤκουσεν ὁ δῆμος τῶν λόγων τούτων, εἶπον, τίνα χάριν ἀποδώσομεν Σίμωνι καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ; |
| 26 | For he hath restored his brethren, and hath driven away in fight the enemies of Israel from them: and they decreed him liberty, and registered it in tables of brass, and set it upon pillars in mount Sion. | restituit enim ipse fratres suos, et expugnavit inimicos Israël ab eis, et statuerunt ei libertatem, et descripserunt in tabulis aereis, et posuerunt in titulis in monte Sion. | Ἐστήρισε γὰρ αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὁ οἶκος τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπολέμησαν τοὺς ἐχθροὺς Ἰσραὴλ ἀπʼ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἔστησαν αὐτῷ ἐλευθερίαν. |
| 27 | And this is a copy of the writing: The eighteenth day of the month Elul, in the year one hundred and seventy-two, being the third year under Simon the high priest at Asaramel, | Et hoc est exemplum scripturae: Octavadecima die mensis Elul, anno centesimo septuagesimo secundo, anno tertio sub Simone sacerdote magno in Asaramel, | Καὶ κατέγραψαν ἐν δέλτοις χαλκαῖς, καὶ ἔθεντο ἐν στήλαις ἐν ὄρει Σιών· καὶ τοῦτο τὸ ἀντίγραφον τῆς γραφῆς· ὀκτωκαιδεκάτῃ Ἐλούλ, ἔτους δευτέρου καὶ ἑβδομηκοστοῦ καὶ ἑκατοστοῦ· καὶ τοῦτο τρίτον ἔτος ἐπὶ Σίμωνος ἀρχιερέως· |
| 28 | In a great assembly of the priests, and of the people, and the princes of the nation, and the ancients of the country, these things were notified: Forasmuch as there have often been wars in our country, | in conventu magno sacerdotum, et populi, et principum gentis, et seniorum regionis, nota facta sunt haec: quoniam frequenter facta sunt praelia in regione nostra, | ἐν Σαραμὲλ, ἐπὶ συναγωγῆς μεγάλης ἱερέων, καὶ λαοῦ, καὶ ἀρχόντων ἔθνους, καὶ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων τῆς χώρας ἐγνώρισεν ἡμῖν. |
| 29 | And Simon the son of Mathathias of the children of Jarib, and his brethren have put themselves in danger, and have resisted the enemies of their nation, for the maintenance of their holy places, and the law: and have raised their nation to great glory. | Simon autem Mathathiae filius, ex filiis Iarib, et fratres eius, dederunt se periculo, et restiterunt adversariis gentis suae, ut starent sancta ipsorum, et lex: et gloria magna glorificaverunt gentem suam. | Ἐπεὶ πολλάκις ἐγενήθησαν πόλεμοι ἐν τῇ χώρᾳ· Σίμων δὲ ὁ υἱὸς Ματταθίου ὁ υἱὸς τῶν υἱῶν Ἰαρὶβ καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ ἔδωκαν ἑαυτοὺς τῷ κινδύνῳ, καὶ ἀντέστησαν τοῖς ὑπεναντίοις τοῦ ἔθνους αὐτῶν, ὅπως σταθῇ τὰ ἅγια αὐτῶν καὶ ὁ νόμος, καὶ δόξῃ μεγάλῃ ἐδόξασαν τὸ ἔθνος αὐτῶν· |
| 30 | And Jonathan gathered together his nation, and was made their high priest, and he was laid to his people. | Et congregavit Ionathas gentem suam, et factus est illis sacerdos magnus, et appositus est ad populum suum. | Καὶ ἤθροισεν Ἰωνάθαν τὸ ἔθνος αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐγενήθη αὐτοῖς ἀρχιερεὺς, καὶ προσετέθη πρὸς τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ. |
| 31 | And their enemies desired to tread down and destroy their country, and to stretch forth their hands against their holy places. | Et voluerunt inimici eorum calcare et atterere regionem ipsorum, et extendere manus in sancta eorum. | Καὶ ἐβουλήθησαν οἱ ἐχθροὶ αὐτῶν ἐμβατεῦσαι εἰς τὴν χώραν αὐτῶν, τοῦ ἐκτρίψαι τὴν χώραν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐκτεῖναι χεῖρας ἐπὶ τὰ ἅγια αὐτῶν· |
| 32 | Then Simon resisted and fought for his nation, and laid out much of his money, and armed the valiant men of his nation, and gave them wages: | Tunc restitit Simon, et pugnavit pro gente sua, et erogavit pecunias multas, et armavit viros virtutis gentis suae, et dedit illis stipendia: | τότε ἀνέστη Σίμων, καὶ ἐπολέμησε περὶ τοῦ ἔθνους αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐδαπάνησε χρήματα πολλὰ τῶν ἑαυτοῦ, καὶ ὡπλοδότησε τοὺς ἄνδρας τῆς δυνάμεως τοῦ ἔθνους αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς ὀψώνια, |
| 33 | And he fortified the cities of Judea, and Bethsura that lieth in the borders of Judea, where the armour of the enemies was before: and he placed there a garrison of Jews. | et munivit civitates Iudaeae, et Bethsuram, quae erat in finibus Iudaeae, ubi erant arma hostium antea: et posuit illic praesidium viros Iudaeos. | καὶ ὠχύρωσε τὰς πόλεις τῆς Ἰουδαίας, καὶ τὴν Βαιθσούραν τὴν ἐπὶ τῶν ὁρίων τῆς Ἰουδαίας, οὗ ἦν τὰ ὅπλα τῶν πολεμίων τοπρότερον, καὶ ἔθετο ἐκεῖ φρουρὰν ἄνδρας Ἰουδαίους. |
| 34 | And he fortified Joppe which lieth by the sea: and Gazara, which bordereth upon Azotus, wherein the enemies dwelt before, and he placed Jews here: and furnished them with all things convenient for their reparation. | Et Ioppen munivit, quae erat ad mare, et Gazaram, quae est in finibus Azoti, in qua hostes antea habitabant: et collocavit illic Iudaeos, et quaecumque apta erant ad correptionem eorum, posuit in eis. | Καὶ Ἰόππην ὠχύρωσε τὴν ἐπὶ τῆς θαλάσσης, καὶ τὴν Γάζαρα τὴν ἐπὶ τῶν ὁρίων Ἀζώτου, ἐν ᾗ ᾤκουν οἱ πολέμιοι τοπρότερον ἐκεῖ, καὶ κατῴκισεν ἐκεῖ Ἰουδαίους, καὶ ὅσα ἐπιτήδεια ἦν πρὸς τὴν τούτων ἐπανόρθωσιν ἔθετο ἐν αὐτοῖς. |
| 35 | And the people seeing the acts of Simon, and to what glory he meant to bring his nation, made him their prince, and high priest, because he had done all these things, and for the justice, and faith, which he kept to his nation, and for that he sought by all means to advance his people. | Et vidit populus actum Simonis, et gloriam quam cogitabat facere genti suae, et posuerunt eum ducem suum, et principem sacerdotum, eo quod ipse fecerat haec omnia, et iustitiam, et fidem, quam conservavit genti suae, et exquisivit omni modo exaltare populum suum. | Καὶ εἶδεν ὁ λαὸς τὴς πρᾶξιν τοῦ Σίμωνος, καὶ τὴν δόξαν ἣν ἐβουλεύσατο ποιῆσαι τῷ ἔθνει αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔθεντο αὐτὸν ἡγοὺμενον αὐτῶν καὶ ἀρχιερέα, διὰ τὸ αὐτὸν πεποιηκέναι πάντα ταῦτα, καὶ τὴν δικαιοσύνην, καὶ τὴν πίστιν ἣν συνετήρησε τῷ ἔθνει αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐζήτησε παντὶ τρόπῳ ὑψῶσαι τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ. |
| 36 | And in his days things prospered in his hands, so that the heathens were taken away out of their country, and they also that were in the city of David in Jerusalem in the castle, out of which they issued forth, and profaned all places round about the sanctuary, and did much evil to its purity. | Et in diebus eius prosperatum est in manibus eius, ut tollerentur gentes de regione ipsorum, et qui in civitate David erant, in Ierusalem in arce, de qua procedebant, et contaminabant omnia quae in circuitu sanctorum sunt, et inferebant plagam magnam castitati: | Καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις αὐτοῦ εὐωδώθη ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτοῦ, τοῦ ἐξαρθῆναι τὰ ἔθνη ἐκ τῆς χώρας αὐτῶν, καὶ τοὺς ἐν τῇ πόλει Δαυὶδ τοὺς ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ, οἳ ἐποίησαν ἑαυτοῖς ἄκραν, ἐξ ἧς ἐξεπορεύοντο καὶ ἐμίαινον κύκλῳ τῶν ἁγίων, καὶ ἐποίουν πληγὴν μεγάλην ἐν τῇ ἁγνείᾳ. |
| 37 | And he placed therein Jews for the defence of the country, and of the city, and he raised up the walls of Jerusalem. | et collocavit in ea viros Iudaeos ad tutamentum regionis, et civitatis, et exaltavit muros Ierusalem. | Καὶ κατῴκισεν ἐν αὐτῇ ἄνδρας Ἰουδαίους, καὶ ὠχύρωσεν αὐτὴν πρὸς ἀσφάλειαν τῆς χώρας καὶ τῆς πόλεως, καὶ ὕψωσε τὰ τείχη Ἱερουσαλήμ. |
| 38 | And king Demetrius confirmed him in the high priesthood. | Et rex Demetrius statuit illi summum sacerdotium. | Καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Δημήτριος ἔστησεν αὐτῷ τὴν ἀρχιερωσύνην κατὰ ταῦτα, |
| 39 | According to these things he made him his friend, and glorified him with great glory. | Secundum haec fecit eum amicum suum, et glorificavit eum gloria magna. | καὶ ἐποίησεν αὐτὸν τῶν φίλων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐδόξασεν αὐτὸν δόξῃ μεγάλῃ. |
| 40 | For he had heard that the Romans had called the Jews their friends, and confederates, and brethren, and that they had received Simon’s ambassadors with honour: | Audivit enim quod appellati sunt Iudaei a Romanis amici, et socii, et fratres, et quia susceperunt legatos Simonis gloriose, | Ἤκουσε γὰρ ὅτι προσηγόρευνται οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι ὑπὸ Ῥωμαίων φίλοι καὶ σύμμαχοι καὶ ἀδελφοὶ, καὶ ὅτι ἀπήντησαν τοῖς πρεσβευταῖς Σίμωνος ἐνδόξως· |
| 41 | And that the Jews, and their priests, had consented that he should be their prince, and high priest for ever, till there should arise a faithful prophet: | et quia Iudaei et sacerdotes eorum consenserunt eum esse ducem suum, et summum sacerdotem in aeternum, donec surgat propheta fidelis: | καὶ ὅτι εὐδόκησαν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι, καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς, τοῦ εἶναι Σίμωνα ἡγουμένον καὶ ἀρχιερέα εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, ἕως τοῦ ἀναστῆναι προφήτην πιστόν· |
| 42 | And that he should be chief over them, and that he should have the charge of the sanctuary, and that he should appoint rulers over their works, and over the country, and over the armour, and over the strong holds. | et ut sit super eos dux, et ut cura esset illi pro sanctis, et ut constitueret praepositos super opera eorum, et super regionem, et super arma, et super praesidia: | καὶ τοῦ εἶναι ἐπʼ αὐτῶν στρατηγόν, καὶ ὅπως μέλοι αὐτῷ περὶ τῶν ἁγίων καθιστάναι αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ τῶν ἔργων αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς χώρας, καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν ὅπλων, καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν ὀχυρωμάτων· |
| 43 | And that he should have care of the holy places: and that he should be obeyed by all, and that all the writings in the country should be made in his name: and that he should be clothed with purple, and gold: | et cura sit illi de sanctis: et ut audiatur ab omnibus, et scribantur in nomine eius omnes conscriptiones in regione: et ut operiatur purpura et auro: | καὶ ὅπως μέλοι αὐτῷ περὶ τῶν ἁγίων, καὶ ὅπως ἀκούηται ὑπὸ πάντων, καὶ ὅπως γράφωνται ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ πᾶσαι συγγραφαὶ ἐν τῇ χώρᾳ, καὶ ὅπως περιβάληται πορφύραν, καὶ χρυσοφορῇ. |
| 44 | And that it should not be lawful for any of the people, or of the priests, to disannul any of these things, or to gainsay his words, or to call together an assembly in the country without him: or to be clothed with purple, or to wear a buckle of gold: | et ne liceat ulli ex populo et ex sacerdotibus irritum facere aliquid horum, et contradicere his quae ab eo dicuntur, aut convocare conventum in regione sine ipso, et vestiri purpura, et uti fibula aurea: | Καὶ οὐκ ἐξέσται οὐδενὶ τοῦ λαοῦ καἰ τῶν ἱερέων ἀθετῆσαί τι τούτων, καὶ ἀντειπεῖν τοῖς ὑπʼ αὐτοῦ ῥηθησομένοις, καὶ ἐπισυστρέψαι συστροφὴν ἐν τῇ χώρᾳ ἄνευ αὐτοῦ, καὶ περιβάλλεσθαι πορφύραν, καὶ ἐμπορποῦσθαι πόρπην χρυσῆν· |
| 45 | And whosoever shall do otherwise, or shall make void any of these things shall be punished. | qui autem fecerit extra haec, aut irritum fecerit aliquid horum, reus erit. | Ὃς δʼ ἂν παρὰ ταῦτα ποιήσῃ ἢ ἀθετήσῃ τι τούτων, ἔνοχος ἔσται. |
| 46 | And it pleased all the people to establish Simon, and to do according to these words. | Et complacuit omni populo statuere Simonem, et facere secundum verba ista. | Καὶ εὐδόκησε πᾶς ὁ λαὸς θέσθαι Σίμωνι, καὶ ποιῆσαι κατὰ τοὺς λόγους τούτους. |
| 47 | And Simon accepted thereof, and was well pleased to execute the office of the high priesthood, and to be captain, and prince of the nation of the Jews, and of the priests, and to be chief over all. | Et suscepit Simon, et placuit ei ut summo sacerdotio fungeretur, et esset dux et princeps gentis Iudaeorum, et sacerdotum, et praeesset omnibus. | Καὶ ἐπεδέξατο Σίμων, καὶ εὐδόκησεν ἀρχιερατεύειν, καὶ εἶναι στρατηγὸς καὶ ἐθνάρχης τῶν Ἰουδαίων, καὶ ἱερέων, καὶ τοῦ προστατῆσαι πάντων. |
| 48 | And they commanded that this writing should be put in tables of brass, and that they should be set up within the compass of the sanctuary, in a conspicuous place: | Et scripturam istam dixerunt ponere in tabulis aereis, et ponere eas in peribolo sanctorum, in loco celebri: | Καὶ τὴν γραφὴν ταύτην εἶπον θέσθαι ἐν δέλτοις χαλκαῖς, καὶ στῆσαι αὐτὰς ἐν περιβόλῳ τῶν ἁγίων ἐν τόπῳ ἐπισήμῳ, |
| 49 | And that a copy thereof should be put in the treasury, that Simon and his sons may have it. | exemplum autem eorum ponere in aerario, ut habeat Simon, et filii eius. | τὰ δὲ ἀντίγραφα αὐτῶν θέσθαι ἐν τῷ γαζοφυλακίῳ, ὅπως ἕχῃ Σίμων, καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ. |
