| 1 | In the mean time when Demetrius heard that Nicanor and his army were fallen in battle, he sent again Bacchides and Alcimus into Judea; and the right wing of his army with them. | Interea, ut audivit Demetrius quia cecidit Nicanor et exercitus eius in praelio, apposuit Bacchidem et Alcimum rursum mittere in Iudaeam, et dextrum cornu cum illis. | Καὶ ἤκουσε Δημήτριος ὅτι ἔπεσε Νικάνωρ καὶ αἱ δυνάμεις αὐτοῦ ἐν πολέμῳ, καὶ προσέθετο τὸν Βακχίδην καὶ τὸν Ἄλκιμον ἐκ δευτέρου ἀποστεῖλαι εἰς γῆν Ἰούδα, καὶ τὸ δεξιὸν κέρας μετʼ αὐτῶν. |
| 2 | And they took the road that leadeth to Galgal, and they camped in Masaloth, which is in Arabella: and they made themselves masters of it, and slew many people. | Et abierunt viam quae ducit in Galgala, et castra posuerunt in Masaloth, quae est in Arbellis: et occupaverunt eam, et peremerunt animas hominum multas. | Καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ὁδὸν τὴν εἰς Γάλγαλα, καὶ παρενέβαλον ἐπὶ Μαισαλὼθ τὴν ἐν Ἀρβήλοις, καὶ προκατελάβοντο αὐτὴν, καὶ ἀπώλεσαν ψυχὰς ἀνθρώπων πολλάς. |
| 3 | In the first month of the hundred and fifty-second year they brought the army to Jerusalem: | In mense primo anni centesimi et quinquagesimi secundi, applicuerunt exercitum ad Ierusalem: | Καὶ τοῦ μηνὸς τοῦ πρώτου ἔτους τοῦ δευτέρου καὶ πεντηκοστοῦ καὶ ἑκατοστοῦ παρενέβαλον ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλήμ. |
| 4 | And they arose, and went to Berea with twenty thousand men, and two thousand horsemen. | et surrexerunt, et abierunt in Beream viginti millia virorum, et duo millia equitum. | Καὶ ἀπῇραν καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν εἰς Βερέαν ἐν εἴκοσι χιλιάσιν ἀνδρῶν καὶ δισχιλίᾳ ἵππῳ. |
| 5 | Now Judas had pitched his tents in Laisa, and three thousand chosen men with him: | Et Iudas posuerat castra in Laisa, et tria millia viri electi cum eo: | Καὶ Ἰούδας ἦν παρεμβεβληκὼς ἐν Ἐλεασὰ, καὶ τρισχίλιοι ἄνδρες ἐκλεκτοὶ μετʼ αὐτοῦ. |
| 6 | And they saw the multitude of the army that they were many, and they were seized with great fear: and many withdrew themselves out of the camp, and there remained of them no more than eight hundred men. | et viderunt multitudinem exercitus, quia multi sunt, et timuerunt valde: et multi subtraxerunt se de castris, et non remanserunt ex eis nisi octingenti viri. | Καὶ ἴδον τὸ πλῆθος τῶν δυνάμεων ὅτι πολλοί εἰσι, καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν σφόδρα· καὶ ἐξεῤῥύησαν πολλοὶ ἀπὸ τῆς παρεμβολῆς, οὐ κατελείφθησαν ἐξ αὐτῶν ἀλλʼ ἢ ὀκτακόσιοι ἄνδρες. |
| 7 | And Judas saw that his army slipped away, and the battle pressed upon him, and his heart was cast down: because he had not time to gather them together, and he was discouraged. | Et vidit Iudas quod defluxit exercitus suus, et bellum perurgebat eum, et confractus est corde, quia non habebat tempus congregandi eos, et dissolutus est. | Καὶ εἶδεν Ἰούδας ὅτι ἀπεῤῥύη ἡ παρεμβολὴ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὁ πόλεμος ἔθλιβεν αὐτόν· καὶ συνετρίβη τῇ καρδίᾳ, ὅτι οὐκ εἶχε καιρὸν συναγαγεῖν αὐτούς. |
| 8 | Then he said to them that remained: Let us arise, and go against our enemies, if we may be able to fight against them. | Et dixit his qui residui erant: Surgamus, et eamus ad adversarios nostros, si poterimus pugnare adversus eos. | Καὶ ἐξελύθη, καὶ εἶπε τοῖς καταλειφθεῖσιν, ἀναστῶμεν καὶ ἀναβῶμεν ἐπὶ τοὺς ὑπεναντίους ἡμῶν, ἐὰν ἄρα δυνώμεθα πολεμῆσαι αὐτούς. |
| 9 | But they dissuaded him, saying: We shall not be able, but let us save our lives now, and return to our brethren, and then we will fight against them: for we are but few. | Et avertebant eum, dicentes: Non poterimus, sed liberemus animas nostras modo, et revertamur ad fratres nostros, et tunc pugnabimus adversus eos: nos autem pauci sumus. | Καὶ ἀπέστρεψαν αὐτὸν, λέγοντες, οὐ μὴ δυνώμεθα, ἀλλʼ ἢ σώζωμεν τὰς ἑαυτῶν ψυχὰς τὸ νῦν, καὶ ἐπιστρέψωμεν μετὰ τῶν ἀδελφῶν ἡμῶν, καὶ πολεμήσωμεν πρὸς αὐτοὺς, ἡμεῖς δὲ ὀλίγοι. |
| 10 | Then Judas said: God forbid we should do this thing, and flee away from them: but if our time be come, let us die manfully for our brethren, and let us not stain our glory. | Et ait Iudas: Absit istam rem facere ut fugiamus ab eis: et si appropiavit tempus nostrum, moriamur in virtute propter fratres nostros, et non inferamus crimen gloriae nostrae. | Καὶ εἶπεν Ἰούδας, μή μοι γένοιτο ποιῆσαι τὸ πρᾶγμα τοῦτο, φυγεῖν ἀπʼ αὐτῶν, καὶ εἰ ἤγγικεν ὁ καιρὸς ἡμῶν, καὶ ἀποθάνωμεν ἐν ἀνδρείᾳ χάριν τῶν ἀδελφῶν ἡμῶν, καὶ μὴ καταλίπωμεν αἰτίαν τῇ δόξῃ ἡμῶν. |
| 11 | And the army removed out of the camp, and they stood over against them: and the horsemen were divided into two troops, and the slingers, and the archers went before the army, and they that were in the front were all men of valour. | Et movit exercitus de castris, et steterunt illis obviam: et divisi sunt equites in duas partes, et fundibularii et sagittarii praeibant exercitum, et primi certaminis omnes potentes. | Καὶ ἀπῇρεν ἡ δύναμις ἀπὸ τῆς παρεμβολῆς, καὶ ἔστησαν εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἐμερίσθη ἡ ἵππος εἰς δύο μέρη, καὶ οἱ σφενδονηταὶ καὶ οἱ τοξόται προεπορεύοντο τῆς δυνάμεως, καὶ οἱ πρωταγωνισταὶ πάντες οἱ δυνατοί. |
| 12 | And Bacchides was in the right wing, and the legion drew near on two sides, and they sounded the trumpets: | Bacchides autem erat in dextro cornu, et proximavit legio ex duabus partibus, et clamabant tubis: | Βακχίδης δὲ ἦν ἐν τῷ δεξιῷ κέρατι, καὶ ἤγγισεν ἡ φάλαγξ ἐκ τῶν δύο μερῶν, καὶ ἐφώνουν ταῖς σάλπιγξι. Καὶ ἐσάλπισαν οἱ παρὰ Ἰούδα καὶ αὐτοὶ ταῖς σάλπιγξι, |
| 13 | And they also were on Judas’ side, even they also cried out, and the earth shook at the noise of the armies: and the battle was fought from morning even unto the evening. | exclamaverunt autem et hi qui erant ex parte Iudae etiam ipsi, et commota est terra a voce exercituum: et commissum est praelium a mane usque ad vesperam. | καὶ ἐσαλεύθη ἡ γῆ ἀπὸ τῆς φωνῆς τῶν παρεμβολῶν· καὶ ἐγένετο ὁ πόλεμος συνημένος ἀπὸ πρωΐθεν ἕως ἑσπέρας. |
| 14 | And Judas perceived that the stronger part of the army of Bacchides was on the right side, and all the stout of heart came together with him: | Et vidit Iudas quod firmior est pars exercitus Bacchidis in dextris, et convenerunt cum ipso omnes constantes corde: | Καὶ· εἶδεν Ἰούδας ὅτι Βακχίδης καὶ τὸ στερέωμα τῆς παρεμβολῆς ἐν τοῖς δεξιοῖς, καὶ συνῆλθον αὐτῷ πάντες οἱ εὔψυχοι τῇ καρδίᾳ. |
| 15 | And the right wing was discomfited by them, and he pursued them even to the mount Azotus. | et contrita est dextera pars ab eis, et persecutus est eos usque ad montem Azoti. | Καὶ συνετρίβη τὸ δεξιὸν κέρας ἀπʼ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐδίωκεν ὀπίσω αὐτῶν ἕως Ἀζώτου ὄρους. |
| 16 | And they that were in the left wing saw that the right wing was discomfited, and they followed after Judas, and them that were with him, at their back: | Et qui in sinistro cornu erant, viderunt quod contritum est dextrum cornu, et secuti sunt post Iudam, et eos qui cum ipso erant, a tergo: | Καὶ οἱ εἰς τὸ ἀριστερὸν κέρας ἴδον ὅτι συνετρίβη τὸ δεξιὸν κέρας, καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν κατὰ πόδας Ἰούδα καὶ τῶν μετʼ αὐτοῦ ἐκ τῶν ὄπισθεν. |
| 17 | And the battle was hard fought, and there fell many wounded of the one side and of the other. | et ingravatum est praelium, et ceciderunt vulnerati multi ex his et ex illis. | Καὶ ἐβαρύνθη ὁ πόλεμος, καὶ ἔπεσον τραυματίαι πολλοὶ ἐκ τούτων καὶ ἐκ τούτων. |
| 18 | And Judas was slain, and the rest fled away. | Et Iudas cecidit, et ceteri fugerunt. | Καὶ Ἰούδας ἔπεσε, καὶ οἱ λοιποὶ ἔφυγον. |
| 19 | And Jonathan and Simon took Judas their brother, and buried him in the sepulchre of their fathers in the city of Modin. | Et Ionathas et Simon tulerunt Iudam fratrem suum, et sepelierunt eum in sepulchro patrum suorum in civitate Modin. | Καὶ ᾖραν Ἰωνάθαν καὶ Σίμων Ἰούδαν τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ τάφῳ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ ἐν Μωδεεΐμ. |
| 20 | And all the people of Israel bewailed him with great lamentation, and they mourned for him many days. | Et fleverunt eum omnis populus Israël planctu magno, et lugebant dies multos, | Καὶ ἔκλαυσαν αὐτὸν, καὶ ἐκόψαντο αὐτὸν πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ κοπετὸν μέγαν, καὶ ἐπένθουν ἡμέρας πολλὰς, καὶ εἶπον, |
| 21 | And said: How is the mighty man fallen, that saved the people of Israel! | et dixerunt: Quomodo cecidit potens, qui salvum faciebat populum Israël! | πῶς ἔπεσε δυνατὸς, σώζων τὸν Ἰσραήλ; |
| 22 | But the rest of the words of the wars of Judas, and of the noble acts that he did, and of his greatness, are not written: for they were very many. | Et cetera verba bellorum Iudae, et virtutum, quas fecit, et magnitudinis eius, non sunt descripta: multa enim erant valde. | Καὶ τὰ περισσὰ τῶν λόγων Ἰούδα, καὶ τῶν πολέμων, καὶ τῶν ἀνδραγαθιῶν ὧν ἐποίησε, καὶ τῆς μεγαλωσύνης αὐτῶν, οὐ κατεγράφη, πολλὰ γὰρ ἦν σφόδρα. |
| 23 | And it came to pass after the death of Judas, that the wicked began to put forth their heads in all the confines of Israel, and all the workers of iniquity rose up. | Et factum est: post obitum Iudae emerserunt iniqui in omnibus finibus Israël, et exorti sunt omnes qui operabantur iniquitatem. | Καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ τὴν τελευτὴν Ἰούδα, ἐξέκυψαν οἱ ἄνομοι ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ὁρίοις Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἀνέτειλαν πάντες οἱ ἐργαζόμενοι τὴν ἀδικίαν. |
| 24 | In those days there was a very great famine, and they and all their country yielded to Bacchides. | In diebus illis facta est fames magna valde, et tradidit se Bacchidi omnis regio eorum cum ipsis. | Ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις ἐγενήθη λιμὸς μέγας σφόδρα, καὶ ηὐτομόλησεν ἡ χώρα μετʼ αὐτῶν. |
| 25 | And Bacchides chose the wicked men, and made them lords of the country: | Et elegit Bacchides viros impios, et constituit eos dominos regionis: | Καὶ ἐξέλεξε Βακχίδης τοὺς ἀσεβεῖς ἄνδρας, καὶ κατέστησεν αὐτοὺς κυρίους τῆς χώρας. |
| 26 | And they sought out, and made diligent search after the friends of Judas, and brought them to Bacchides, and he took vengeance of them, and abused them. | et exquirebant, et perscrutabantur amicos Iudae, et adducebant eos ad Bacchidem, et vindicabat in illos, et illudebat. | Καὶ ἐξεζήτουν καὶ ἐξηρεύνων τοὺς φίλους Ἰούδα, καὶ ἦγον αὐτοὺς πρὸς Βακχίδην· καὶ ἐξεδίκει ἐν αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἐνέπαιζεν αὐτοῖς. |
| 27 | And there was a great tribulation in Israel, such as was not since the day, that there was no prophet seen in Israel. | Et facta est tribulatio magna in Israël, qualis non fuit ex die qua non est visus propheta in Israël. | Καὶ ἐγένετο θλίψις μεγάλη ἐν τῷ Ἰσραὴλ, ἥτις οὐκ ἐγένετο ἀφʼ ἧς ἡμέρας οὐκ ὤφθη προφήτης ἐν αὐτοῖς. |
| 28 | And all the friends of Judas came together, and said to Jonathan: | Et congregati sunt omnes amici Iudae, et dixerunt Ionathae: | Καὶ ἠθροίσθησαν πάντες οἱ φίλοι Ἱούδα, καὶ εἶπον τῷ Ἰωνάθαν, |
| 29 | Since thy brother Judas died, there is not a man like him to go forth against our enemies, Bacchides, and them that are the enemies of our nation. | Ex quo frater tuus Iudas defunctus est, vir similis ei non est, qui exeat contra inimicos nostros, Bacchidem et eos qui inimici sunt gentis nostrae. | ἀφʼ οὗ ὁ ἀδελφός σου Ἰούδας τετελεύτηκε, καὶ ἀνὴρ ὅμοιος αὐτῷ οὐκ ἔστιν ἐξελθεῖν πρὸς τοὺς ἐχθροὺς καὶ Βακχίδην, καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἐχθραίνουσι τοῦ ἔθνους ἡμῶν. |
| 30 | Now therefore we have chosen thee this day to be our prince, and captain in his stead to fight our battles. | Nunc itaque, te hodie elegimus esse pro eo nobis in principem, et ducem ad bellandum bellum nostrum. | Νῦν οὖν σε ᾑρετισάμεθα σήμερον, τοῦ εἶναι ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ ἡμῖν εἰς ἄρχοντα καὶ ἡγούμενον, τοῦ πολεμῆσαι τὸν πόλεμον ἡμῶν. |
| 31 | So Jonathan took upon him the government at that time, and rose up in the place of Judas his brother. | Et suscepit Ionathas tempore illo principatum, et surrexit loco Iudae fratris sui. | Καὶ ἐπεδέξατο Ἰωνάθαν ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ τὴν ἥγησιν, καὶ ἀνέστη ἀντὶ Ἰούδα τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ. |
| 32 | And Bacchides had knowledge of it, and sought to kill him. | Et cognovit Bacchides, et quaerebat eum occidere. | Καὶ ἔγνω Βακχίδης, καὶ ἐζήτει αὐτὸν ἀποκτεῖναι. |
| 33 | And Jonathan and Simon his brother, knew it, and all that were with them: and they fled into the desert of Thecua, and they pitched by the water of the lake of Asphar, | Et cognovit Ionathas, et Simon frater eius, et omnes qui cum eo erant: et fugerunt in desertum Thecuae et consederunt ad aquam lacus Asphar. | Καὶ ἔγνω Ἰωνάθαν, καὶ Σίμων ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ πάντες οἱ μετʼ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔφυγον εἰς τὴν ἔρημον Θεκωὲ, καὶ παρενέβαλον ἐπὶ τὸ ὕδωρ λάκκου Ἀσφάρ. |
| 34 | And Bacchides understood it, and he came himself with all his army over the Jordan on the sabbath day. | Et cognovit Bacchides, et die sabbatorum venit ipse et omnis exercitus eius trans Iordanem. | Καὶ ἔγνω Βακχίδης τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῶν σαββάτων, καὶ ἦλθεν αὐτὸς καὶ πᾶν τὸ στράτευμα αὐτοῦ πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου. |
| 35 | And Jonathan sent his brother a captain of the people, to desire the Nabutheans his friends, that they would lend them their equipage, which was copious. | Et Ionathas misit fratrem suum ducem populi, et rogavit Nabuthaeos amicos suos, ut commodarent illis apparatum suum, qui erat copiosus. | Καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ἰωνάθαν τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ ἡγούμενον τοῦ ὄχλου, καὶ παρεκάλεσε τοὺς Ναυαταίους φίλους αὐτοῦ παραθέσθαι αὐτοῖς τὴν ἀποσκευὴν αὐτῶν τὴν πολλήν. |
| 36 | And the children of Jambri came forth out of Madaba, and took John, and all that he had, and went away with them. | Et exierunt filii Iambri ex Madaba, et comprehenderunt Ioannem et omnia quae habebat, et abierunt habentes ea. | Καὶ ἐξῆλθον υἱοὶ Ἰαμβρὶ ἐκ Μηδαβὰ, καὶ συνέλαβον Ἰωάννην, καὶ πάντα ὅσα εἶχε, καὶ ἀπῆλθον ἔχοντες. |
| 37 | After this it was told Jonathan, and Simon his brother, that the children of Jambri made a great marriage, and were bringing the bride out of Madaba, the daughter of one of the great princes of Chanaan, with great pomp. | Post haec verba, renuntiatum est Ionathae et Simoni fratri eius, quia filii Iambri faciunt nuptias magnas, et ducunt sponsam ex Madaba filiam unius de magnis principibus Chanaan cum ambitione magna. | Μετὰ δὲ τοὺς λόγους τούτους ἀπήγγειλαν τῷ Ἰωνάθαν καὶ Σίμωνι τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ, ὅτι οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰαμβρὶ ποιοῦσι γάμον μέγαν, καὶ ἄγουσι τὴν νύμφην ἀπὸ Ναδαβὰθ, θυγατέρα ἑνὸς τῶν μεγιστάνων μεγάλων τῶν Χαναὰν, μετὰ παραπομπῆς μεγάλης. |
| 38 | And the remembered the blood of John their brother: and they went up, and hid themselves under the covert of the mountain. | Et recordati sunt sanguinis Ioannis fratris sui: et ascenderunt, et absconderunt se sub tegumento montis. | Καὶ ἐμνήσθησαν Ἰωάννου τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἀνέβησαν, καὶ ἐκρύβησαν ὑπὸ τὴν σκέπην τοῦ ὄρους. |
| 39 | And they lifted up their eyes, and saw: and behold a tumult, and great preparation: and the bridegroom came forth, and his friends, and his brethren to meet them with timbrels, and musical instruments, and many weapons. | Et elevaverunt oculos suos, et viderunt: et ecce tumultus, et apparatus multus: et sponsus processit, et amici eius, et fratres eius obviam illis cum tympanis, et musicis, et armis multis. | Καὶ ᾖραν τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν, καὶ ἴδον, καὶ ἰδοὺ θροῦς, καὶ ἀποσκευὴ πολλὴ, καὶ ὁ νυμφίος ἐξῆλθε καὶ οἱ φίλοι αὐτοῦ καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτῶν μετὰ τυμπάνων, και μουσικῶν, καὶ ὅπλων πολλῶν. |
| 40 | And they rose up against them from the place where they lay in ambush, and slew them, and there fell many wounded, and the rest fled into the mountains, and they took all their spoils: | Et surrexerunt ad eos ex insidiis, et occiderunt eos, et ceciderunt vulnerati multi, et residui fugerunt in montes: et acceperunt omnia spolia eorum: | Καὶ ἐξανέστησαν ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ τοῦ ἐνέδρου οἱ περὶ τὸν Ἰωνάθαν, καὶ ἀπέκτειναν αὐτοὺς, καὶ ἔπεσον τραυματίαι πολλοὶ, καὶ οἱ ἐπίλοιποι ἔφυγον εἰς τὸ ὄρος· καὶ ἔλαβον πάντα τὰ σκῦλα αὐτῶν. |
| 41 | And the marriage was turned into mourning, and the noise of their musical instruments into lamentation. | et conversae sunt nuptiae in luctum, et vox musicorum ipsorum in lamentum. | Καὶ μετεστράφη ὁ γάμος εἰς πένθος, καὶ ἡ φωνὴ μουσικῶν αὐτῶν εἰς θρῆνον. |
| 42 | And they took revenge for the blood of their brother: and they returned to the bank of the Jordan. | Et vindicaverunt vindictam sanguinis fratris sui: et reversi sunt ad ripam Iordanis. | Καὶ ἐξεδίκησαν τὴν ἐκδίκησιν αἵματος ἀδελφοῦ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἀπέστρεψαν εἰς τὸ ἕλος τοῦ Ἰορδάνου. |
| 43 | And Bacchides heard it, and he came on the sabbath day even to the bank of the Jordan with a great power. | Et audivit Bacchides, et venit die sabbatorum usque ad oram Iordanis in virtute magna. | Καὶ ἤκουσε Βακχίδης, καὶ ἦλθε τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῶν σαββάτων ἕως τῶν κρηπίδων τοῦ Ἰορδάνου ἐν δυνάμει πολλῇ. |
| 44 | And Jonathan said to his company: Let us arise, and fight against our enemies: for it is not now as yesterday, and the day before. | Et dixit ad suos Ionathas: Surgamus, et pugnemus contra inimicos nostros: non est enim hodie sicut heri et nudiustertius: | Καὶ εἶπεν Ἰωνάθαν τοῖς παρʼ αὐτοῦ, ἀναστῶμεν νῦν καὶ πολεμήσωμεν ὑπὲρ τῶν ψυχῶν ἡμῶν, οὐ γὰρ ἐστι σήμερον ὡς ἐχθὲς καὶ τρίτην ἡμέραν. |
| 45 | And behold the battle is before us, and the water of the Jordan on this side and on that side, and banks, and marshes, and woods: and there is no place for us to turn aside. | ecce enim bellum ex adverso, aqua vero Iordanis hinc et inde, et ripae, et paludes, et saltus: et non est locus divertendi. | Ἰδοὺ γὰρ ὁ πόλεμος ἐξεναντίας ἡμῶν καὶ ἐξόπισθεν ἡμῶν· τὸ δὲ ὕδωρ τοῦ Ἰορδάνου ἔνθεν καὶ ἔνθεν, καὶ ἕλος καὶ δρυμὸς, οὐκ ἔστι τόπος τοῦ ἐκκλῖναι. |
| 46 | Now therefore cry ye to heaven, that ye may be delivered from the hand of your enemies. And they joined battle. | Nunc ergo, clamate in caelum, ut liberemini de manu inimicorum vestrorum. Et commissum est bellum. | Νῦν οὖν κεκράξατε εἰς οὐρανὸν, ὅπως διασωθῆτε ἐκ χειρὸς ἐχθρῶν ὑμῶν. |
| 47 | And Jonathan stretched forth his hand to strike Bacchides, but he turned away from him backwards. | Et extendit Ionathas manum suam percutere Bacchidem, et divertit ab eo retro: | Καὶ συνῆψεν ὁ πόλεμος· καὶ ἐξέτεινεν Ἰωνάθαν τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ πατάξαι τὸν Βακχίδην, καὶ ἐξέκλινεν ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω. |
| 48 | And Jonathan, and they that were with him leaped into the Jordan, and swam over the Jordan to them: | et desiliit Ionathas, et qui cum eo erant, in Iordanem, et transnataverunt ad eos Iordanem. | Καὶ ἐνεπήδησεν Ἰωνάθαν καὶ οἱ μετʼ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν Ἰορδάνην, καὶ διεκολύμβησαν εἰς τὸ πέραν· καὶ οὐ διέβησαν ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς τὸν Ἰορδάνην. |
| 49 | And there fell of Bacchides’ side that day a thousand man: and they returned to Jerusalem, | Et ceciderunt de parte Bacchidis die illa mille viri. Et reversi sunt in Ierusalem, | Καὶ διέπεσον παρὰ Βακχίδου τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ εἰς χιλίους ἄνδρας. |
| 50 | And they built strong cities in Judea, the fortress that was in Jericho, and in Ammaus, and in Bethoron, and in Bethel, and Thamnata, and Phara, and Thopo, with high walls, and gates, and bars. | et aedificaverunt civitates munitas in Iudaea, munitionem quae erat in Iericho, et in Ammaum, et in Bethoron, et in Bethel, et Thamnata, et Phara, et Thopo muris excelsis, et portis, et seris. | Καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ ᾠκοδόμησε πόλεις ὀχυρὰς ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ, τὸ ὀχύρωμα τὸ ἐν Ἱεριχὼ, καὶ τὴν Ἐμμαοὺμ, καὶ τὴν Βαιθωρῶν, καὶ τὴν Βαιθὴλ, καὶ τὴν Θαμναθὰ, Φαραθωνὶ, καὶ τὴν Τεφὼν ἐν τείχεσιν ὑψηλοῖς καὶ πύλαις καὶ μοχλοῖς. |
| 51 | And he placed garrisons in them, that they might wage war against Israel: | Et posuit custodiam in eis, ut inimicitias exercerent in Israël: | Καὶ ἔθετο φρουρὰν ἐν αὐτοῖς τοῦ ἐχθραίνειν τῷ Ἰσραήλ. |
| 52 | And he fortified the city of Bethsura, and Gazara, and the castle, and set garrisons in them, and provisions of victuals: | et munivit civitatem Bethsuram, et Gazaram, et arcem, et posuit in eis auxilia, et apparatum escarum: | Καὶ ὠχύρωσε τὴν πόλιν τὴν ἐν Βαιθσούρᾳ, καὶ τὴν Γάζαρα, καὶ τὴν ἄκραν, καὶ ἔθετο ἐν αὐταῖς δυνάμεις καὶ παραθέσεις βρωμάτων. |
| 53 | And he took the sons of the chief men of the country for hostages, and put them in the castle in Jerusalem in custody. | et accepit filios principum regionis obsides, et posuit eos in arce in Ierusalem in custodiam. | Καὶ ἔλαβε τοὺς υἱοὺς τῶν ἡγουμένων τῆς χώρας ὅμηρα, καὶ ἔθετο αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ ἄκρᾳ ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐν φυλακῇ. |
| 54 | Now in the year one hundred and fifty-three, the second month, Alcimus commanded the walls of the inner court of the sanctuary to be thrown down, and the works of the prophets to be destroyed: and he began to be destroyed: and he began to destroy. | Et anno centesimo quinquagesimo tertio, mense secundo, praecepit Alcimus destrui muros domus sanctae interioris, et destrui opera prophetarum: et coepit destruere. | Καὶ ἐν ἔτει τρίτῳ καὶ πεντηκοστῷ καὶ ἑκατοστῷ, μηνι τῷ δευτέρῳ, ἐπέταξεν Ἄλκιμος καθαιρεῖν τὸ τεῖχος τῆς αὐλῆς τῶν ἁγίων τῆς ἐσωτέρας, καὶ καθεῖλε τὰ ἔργα τῶν προφητῶν, καὶ ἐνήρξατο τοῦ καθαιρεῖν. |
| 55 | At that time Alcimus was struck: and his works were hindered, and his mouth was stopped, and he was taken with a palsy, so that he could no more speak a word, nor give order concerning his house. | In tempore illo percussus est Alcimus: et impedita sunt opera illius, et occlusum est os eius, et dissolutus est paralysi, nec ultra potuit loqui verbum, et mandare de domo sua. | Ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ ἐπλήγη Ἄλκιμος, καὶ ἐνεποδίσθη τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀπεφράγη τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ, καὶ παρελύθη, καὶ οὐκ ἐδύνατο ἔτι λαλῆσαι λόγον καὶ ἐντείλασθαι περὶ τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ. |
| 56 | And Alcimus died at that time in great torment. | Et mortuus est Alcimus in tempore illo cum tormento magno. | Καὶ ἀπέθανεν Ἄλκιμος ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ μετὰ βασάνου μεγάλης. |
| 57 | And Bacchides saw that Alcimus was dead: and he returned to the king, and the land was quiet for two years. | Et vidit Bacchides quoniam mortuus est Alcimus, et reversus est ad regem. Et siluit terra annis duobus. | Καὶ εἶδε Βακχίδης ὅτι ἀπέθανεν Ἄλκιμος, καὶ ἀπέστρεψε πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα· καὶ ἡσύχασεν ἡ γῆ Ἰούδα ἔτη δύο. |
| 58 | And all the wicked held a council, saying: Behold Jonathan, and they that are with him, dwell at ease, and without fear: now therefore let us bring Bacchides hither, and he shall take them all in one night. | Et cogitaverunt omnes iniqui, dicentes: Ecce Ionathas, et qui cum eo sunt, in silentio habitant confidenter: nunc ergo adducamus Bacchidem, et comprehendet eos omnes una nocte. | Καὶ ἐβουλεύσαντο πάντες οἱ ἄνομοι, λέγοντες, ἰδοὺ Ἰωνάθαν καὶ οἱ παρʼ αὐτοῦ ἐν ἡσυχίᾳ κατοικοῦσι πεποιθότες· νῦν οὖν ἄξομεν τὸν Βακχίδην, καὶ συλλήμψεται αὐτοὺς πάντας ἐν νυκτὶ μιᾷ. |
| 59 | So they went, and gave him counsel. | Et abierunt, et consilium ei dederunt. | Καὶ πορευθέντες συνεβουλεύσαντο αὐτῷ. |
| 60 | And he arose to come with a great army: and he sent secretly letters to his adherents that were in Judea, to seize upon Jonathan, and them that were with him: but they could not, for their design was known to them. | Et surrexit ut veniret cum exercitu multo: et misit occulte epistolas sociis suis qui erant in Iudaea, ut comprehenderent Ionathan, et eos qui cum eo erant: sed non potuerunt, quia innotuit eis consilium eorum. | Καὶ ἀπῇρε τοῦ ἐλθεῖν μετὰ δυνάμεως πολλῆς, καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἐπιστολὰς λάθρα πᾶσι τοῖς συμμάχοις αὐτοῦ τοῖς ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ, ὅπως συλλάβωσι τὸν Ἰωνάθαν, καὶ τοὺς μετʼ αὐτοῦ· καὶ οὐκ ἐδύναντο, ὅτι ἐγνώσθη αὐτοῖς ἡ βουλὴ αὐτῶν. |
| 61 | And he apprehended of the men of the country, that were the principal authors of the mischief, fifty men, and slew them. | Et apprehendit de viris regionis, qui principes erant malitiae, quinquaginta viros, et occidit eos: | Καὶ συνελάβοντο ἀπὸ τῶν ἀνδρῶν τῆς χώρας τῶν ἀρχηγῶν τῆς κακίας εἰς πεντήκοντα ἄνδρας, καὶ ἀπέκτειναν αὐτούς. |
| 62 | And Jonathan, and Simon, and they that were with him retired into Bethbessen, which is in the desert: and he repaired the breaches thereof, and they fortified it. | et secessit Ionathas, et Simon, et qui cum eo erant, in Bethbessen, quae est in deserto: et exstruxit diruta eius, et firmaverunt eam. | Καὶ ἐξεχώρησεν Ἰωνάθαν, καὶ Σίμων, καὶ οἱ μετʼ αὐτοῦ εἰς Βαιθβασὶ τὴν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, καὶ ᾠκοδόμησε τὰ καθῃρημένα αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐστερέωσαν αὐτήν. |
| 63 | And when Bacchides knew it, he gathered together all his multitude: and sent word to them that were of Judea. | Et cognovit Bacchides, et congregavit universam multitudinem suam: et his, qui de Iudaea erant, denuntiavit. | Καὶ ἔγνω Βακχίδης, καὶ συνήγαγε πᾶν τὸ πλῆθος αὐτοῦ, καὶ τοῖς ἐκ τῆς Ἰουδαίας παρήγγειλε. |
| 64 | And he came, and camped above Bethbessen, and fought against it many days, and made engines. | Et venit, et castra posuit desuper Bethbessen: et oppugnavit eam dies multos, et fecit machinas. | Καὶ ἐλθὼν παρενέβαλεν ἐπὶ Βαιθβασὶ, καὶ ἐπολέμησεν αὐτὴν ἡμέρας πολλὰς, καὶ ἐποίησε μηχανάς. |
| 65 | But Jonathan left his brother Simon in the city, and went forth into the country: and came with a number of men. | Et reliquit Ionathas Simonem fratrem suum in civitate, et exiit in regionem, et venit cum numero: | Καὶ ἀπέλιπεν Ἰωνάθαν Σίμωνα τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ πόλει, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν εἰς τὴν χώραν, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἐν ἀριθμῷ. |
| 66 | And struck Odares, and his brethren, and the children of Phaseron in their tents, and he began to slay, and to increase in forces. | et percussit Odaren et fratres eius, et filios Phaseron in tabernaculis ipsorum: et coepit caedere, et crescere in virtutibus. | Καὶ ἐπάταξεν Ὀδοαῤῥὴν, καὶ τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ, καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς Φασιρὼν ἐν τῷ σκηνώματι αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐξήρξατο τύπτειν, καὶ ἀναβαίνειν ἐν δυνάμεσι· |
| 67 | But Simon and they that were with him, sallied out of the city, and burnt the engines. | Simon vero, et qui cum ipso erant, exierunt de civitate, et succenderunt machinas, | καὶ Σίμων, καὶ οἱ μετʼ αὐτοῦ ἐξῆλθον ἐκ τῆς πόλεως, καὶ ἐνεπύρισαν τὰς μηχανάς. |
| 68 | And they fought against Bacchides, and he was discomfited by them: and they afflicted him exceedingly, for his counsel, and his enterprise was in vain. | et pugnaverunt contra Bacchidem, et contritus est ab eis: et afflixerunt eum valde, quoniam consilium eius et congressus eius erat inanis. | Καὶ ἐπολέμησαν πρὸς τὸν Βακχίδην, καὶ συνετρίβη ὑπʼ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἔθλιβον αὐτὸν σφόδρα, ὅτι ἦν ἡ βουλὴ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἡ ἔφοδος αὐτοῦ κενή. |
| 69 | And he was angry with the wicked men that had given him counsel to come into their country, and he slew many of them: and he purposed to return with the rest into their country. | Et iratus contra viros iniquos, qui ei consilium dederant ut veniret in regionem ipsorum, multos ex eis occidit: ipse autem cogitavit cum reliquis abire in regionem suam. | Καὶ ὠργίσθηθυμῷ τοῖς ἀνδράσι τοῖς ἀνόμοις τοῖς συμβουλεύσασιν αὐτῷ ἐλθεῖν εἰς τὴν χώραν, καὶ ἀπέκτειναν ἐξ αὐτῶν πολλούς, καὶ ἐβουλεύσατο τοῦ ἀπελθεῖν εἰς τὴν γῆν αὐτοῦ. |
| 70 | And Jonathan had knowledge of it, and he sent ambassadors to him to make peace with him, and to restore to him the prisoners. | Et cognovit Ionathas: et misit ad eum legatos componere pacem cum ipso, et reddere ei captivitatem. | Καὶ ἐπέγνω Ἰωνάθαν, καὶ ἀπέστειλε πρὸς αὐτὸν πρέσβεις, τοῦ συνθέσθαι πρὸς αὐτὸν εἰρήνην, καὶ ἀποδοῦναι αὐτοῖς τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν. |
| 71 | And he accepted it willingly, and did according to his words, and swore that the would do him no harm all the days of his life. | Et libenter accepit, et fecit secundum verba eius, et iuravit se nihil facturum ei mali omnibus diebus vitae eius. | Καὶ ἀπεδέξατο, καὶ ἐποίησε κατὰ τοὺς λόγους αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὤμοσεν αὐτῷ μὴ ἐκζητῆσαι αὐτῷ κακὸν πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας τῆς ζωῆς αὐτοῦ. |
| 72 | And he restored to him the prisoners which he before had taken out of the land of Juda: and he returned and went away into his own country, and he came no more into their borders. | Et reddidit ei captivitatem, quam prius erat praedatus de terra Iuda: et conversus abiit in terram suam, et non apposuit amplius venire in fines eius. | Καὶ ἀπέδωκεν αὐτῷ τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν ἣν ᾐχμαλώτευσε τοπρότερον ἐκ γῆς Ἰούδα· καὶ ἀποστρέψας ἀπῆλθεν εἰς τὴν γῆν αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐ προσέθετο ἔτι ἐλθεῖν εἰς τὰ ὅρια αὐτῶν. |
| 73 | So the sword ceased from Israel: and Jonathan dwelt in Machmas, and Jonathan began there to judge the people, and he destroyed the wicked out of Israel. | Et cessavit gladius ex Israël: et habitavit Ionathas in Machmas, et coepit Ionathas ibi iudicare populum, et exterminavit impios ex Israël. | Καὶ κατέπαυσε ῥομφαία ἐξ Ἰσραήλ· καὶ ᾤκησεν Ἰωνάθαν ἐν Μαχμάς· καὶ ἤρξατο Ἰωνάθαν κρίνειν τὸν λαὸν καὶ ἠφάνισε τοὺς ἀσεβεῖς ἐξ Ἰσραήλ. |
