| 1 | Now Arphaxad king of the Medes had brought many nations under his dominions, and he built a very strong city, which he called Ecbatana, | Arphaxad itaque, rex Medorum, subiugaverat multas gentes imperio suo, et ipse aedificavit civitatem potentissimam, quam appellavit Ecbatanis, | ἝΤΟΥΣ δωδεκάτου τῆς βασιλείας Ναβουχοδονόσορ, ὃς ἐβασίλευσεν Ἀσσυρίων ἐν Νινευὴ τῇ πόλει τῇ μεγάλῃ, ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Ἀρφαξὰδ, |
| 2 | Of stones squared and hewed: he made the walls thereof seventy cubits broad, and thirty cubits high, and the towers thereof he made a hundred cubits high. But on the square of them, each side was extended the space of twenty feet. | ex lapidibus quadratis et sectis: fecit muros eius in altitudinem cubitorum septuaginta, et in latitudinem cubitorum triginta: turres vero eius posuit in altitudinem cubitorum centum. | ὃς ἐβασίλευσε Μήδων ἐν Ἐκβατάνοις, καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐπʼ Ἐκβατάνων, καὶ κύκλῳ τείχη ἐκ λίθων λελαξευμένων, εἰς πλάτος πηχῶν τριῶν, καὶ εἰς μῆκος πηχῶν ἓξ, καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ ὕψος τοῦ τείχους πηχῶν ἑβδομήκοντα, καὶ τὸ πλάτος αὐτοῦ πηχῶν πεντήκοντα, |
| 3 | And he made the gates thereof according to the height of the towers: | Per quadrum vero earum latus utrumque vicenorum pedum spatio tendebatur, posuitque portas eius in altitudinem turrium: | καὶ τοὺς πύργους αὐτοῦ ἔστησεν ἐπὶ ταῖς πύλαις αὐτῆς πηχῶν ἑκατὸν, καὶ τὸ πλάτος αὐτῆς ἐθεμελίωσεν εἰς πήχεις ἑξήκοντα. |
| 4 | And he gloried as a mighty one in the force of his army and in the glory of his chariots. | et gloriabatur quasi potens in potentia exercitus sui, et in gloria quadrigarum suarum. | Καὶ ἐποίησε τὰς πύλας αὐτῆς πύλας διεγειρομένας εἰς ὕψος πηχῶν ἑβδομήκοντα, καὶ τὸ πλάτος αὐτῶν πήχεις τεσσράκοντα εἰς ἐξόδους δυνάμεων δυνατῶν αὐτοῦ, καὶ διατάξεις τῶν πεζῶν αὐτοῦ. |
| 5 | Now in the twelfth year of his reign, Nabuchodonosor king of the Assyrians, who reigned in Ninive the great city, fought against Arphaxad and overcame him, | Anno igitur duodecimo regni sui, Nabuchodonosor rex Assyriorum, qui regnabat in Ninive civitate magna, pugnavit contra Arphaxad, et obtinuit eum | Καὶ ἐποίησε πόλεμον ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις ὁ βασιλεὺς Ναβουχοδονόσορ πρὸς βασιλέα Ἀρφαξὰδ ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ τῷ μεγάλῳ, τοῦτό ἐστιν ἐν τοῖς ὁρίοις Ῥαγαῦ. |
| 6 | In the great plain which is called Ragua, about the Euphrates, and the Tigris, and the Jadason, in the plain of Erioch the king of the Elicians. | in campo magno qui appellatur Ragau, circa Euphraten, et Tigrin, et Iadason, in campo Erioch regis Elicorum. | Καὶ συνήντησαν πρὸς αὐτὸν πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὴν ὀρεινὴν, καὶ πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὸν Εὐφράτην, καὶ τὸν Τίγριν, καὶ τὸν Ὑδάσπην, καὶ πεδίῳ Εἰριὼχ ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἐλυμαίων· καὶ συνῆλθον ἔθνη πολλὰ σφόδρα εἰς παράταξιν υἱῶν Χελεούλ. |
| 7 | Then was the kingdom of Nabuchodonosor exalted, and his heart was elevated: and he sent to all that dwelt in Cilicia and Damascus, and Libanus, | Tunc exaltatum est regnum Nabuchodonosor, et cor eius elevatum est: et misit ad omnes qui habitabant in Cilicia, et Damasco, et Libano, | Καὶ ἀπέστειλε Ναβουχοδονόσορ ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς κατοικοῦντας τὴν Περσίδα, καὶ ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς κατοικοῦντας πρὸς δυσμαῖς, τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Κιλικίαν καὶ Δαμασκὸν, τὸν Λίβανον καὶ Ἀντιλίβανον, καὶ πάντας τοὺς κατοικοῦντας κατὰ πρόσωπον παραλίας, |
| 8 | And to the nations that are in Carmelus, and Cedar, and to the inhabitants of Galilee in the great plain of Asdrelon, | et ad gentes quae sunt in Carmelo et Cedar, et inhabitantes Galilaeam in campo magno Esdrelon, | καὶ τοὺς ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι τοῦ Καρμήλου, καὶ Γαλαὰδ, καὶ τὴν ἄνω Γαλιλαίαν, καὶ τὸ μέγα πεδίον Ἐσδρηλὼμ, |
| 9 | And to all that were in Samaria, and beyond the river Jordan even to Jerusalem, and all the land of Jesse till you come to the borders of Ethiopia. | et ad omnes qui erant in Samaria, et trans flumen Iordanem usque ad Ierusalem, et omnem terram Iesse quousque perveniatur ad terminos Aethiopiae. | καὶ πάντας τοὺς ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ καὶ ταῖς πόλεσιν αὐτῆς, καὶ πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου ἕως Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ Βετὰνη, καὶ Χελλοὺς, καὶ Κάδης, καὶ τοῦ ποταμοῦ Αἰγύπτου, καὶ Ταφνὰς, καὶ Ῥαμεσσὴ, |
| 10 | To all these Nabuchodonosor king of the Assyrians, sent messengers: | Ad hos omnes misit nuntios Nabuchodonosor rex Assyriorum: | καὶ πᾶσαν γῆν Γεσὲμ ἕως τοῦ ἐλθεῖν ἐπάνω Τάνεως καὶ Μέμφεως, καὶ πάντας τοὺς κατοικοῦντας τὴν Αἴγυπτον ἕως τοῦ ἐλθεῖν ἐπὶ τὰ ὅρια τῆς Αἰθιοπίας. |
| 11 | But they all with one mind refused, and sent them back empty, and rejected them without honour. | qui omnes uno animo contradixerunt, et remiserunt eos vacuos, et sine honore abiecerunt. | Καὶ ἐφαύλισαν πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν τὸ ῥῆμα Ναβουχοδονὸσορ τοῦ βασιλέως Ἀσσυρίων, καὶ οὐ συνῆλθον αὐτῷ εἰς τὸν πόλεμον, ὅτι οὐκ ἐφοβήθησαν αὐτὸν, ἀλλ ἦν ἐναντίον αὐτῶν ὡς ἀνὴρ ἶσος· καὶ ἀνέστρεψαν τοὺς ἀγγέλους αὐτοῦ κενοὺς ἐν ἀτιμίᾳ πρὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν. |
| 12 | Then king Nabuchodonosor being angry against all that land, swore by his throne and kingdom that he would revenge himself of all those countries. | Tunc indignatus Nabuchodonosor rex adversus omnem terram illam, iuravit per thronum et regnum suum quod defenderet se de omnibus regionibus his. | Καὶ ἐθυμώθη Ναβουχοδονόσορ ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν ταύτην σφόδρα, καὶ ὤμοσε κατὰ τοῦ θρόνου καὶ τῆς βασιλείας αὐτοῦ, εἰ μὴν ἐκδικήσειν πάντα τὰ ὅρια τῆς Κιλικίας καὶ Δαμασκηνῆς καὶ Συρίας, ἀνελεῖν τῇ ῥομφαίᾳ αὐτοῦ καὶ πάντας τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐν γῇ Μωὰβ, καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἀμμὼν, καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν Ἰουδαίαν, καὶ πάντας τοὺς ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ ἕως τοῦ ἐλθεῖν ἐπὶ τὰ ὅρια τῶν δύο θαλασσῶν. |
