| [1]καὶ ἐποίησαν οἱ υἱοὶ ισραηλ τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον κυρίου καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτοὺς κύριος ἐν χειρὶ μαδιαμ ἑπτὰ ἔτη |
[1]Afterward the children of Israel committed wickedness in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord gave them into the hands of Midian seven years. |
| [2]καὶ ἴσχυσεν χεὶρ μαδιαμ ἐπὶ ισραηλ καὶ ἐποίησαν ἑαυτοῖς οἱ υἱοὶ ισραηλ ἀπὸ προσώπου μαδιαμ τὰς τρυμαλιὰς τὰς ἐν τοῖς ὄρεσιν καὶ τὰ σπήλαια καὶ τὰ κρεμαστά |
[2]And the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel, and because of the Midianites the children of Israel made them dens in the mountains , and caves, and strong holds. |
| [3]καὶ ἐγένετο ἐὰν ἔσπειραν οἱ υἱοὶ ισραηλ καὶ ἀνέβαιναν μαδιαμ καὶ αμαληκ καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ ἀνατολῶν συνανέβαινον αὐτοῖς |
[3]When Israel had sown, then came up the Midianites, the Amalekites, and they of the east, and came upon them, |
| [4]καὶ παρενέβαλον εἰς αὐτοὺς καὶ κατέφθειραν τοὺς καρποὺς αὐτῶν ἕως ἐλθεῖν εἰς γάζαν καὶ οὐ κατέλιπον ὑπόστασιν ζωῆς ἐν τῇ γῇ ισραηλ οὐδὲ ἐν τοῖς ποιμνίοις ταῦρον καὶ ὄνον |
[4]And camped by them, and destroyed the fruit of the earth, even till thou come unto Gaza, and left no food for Israel, neither sheep, nor ox, nor ass. |
| [5]ὅτι αὐτοὶ καὶ αἱ κτήσεις αὐτῶν ἀνέβαινον καὶ αἱ σκηναὶ αὐτῶν παρεγίνοντο καθὼς ἀκρὶς εἰς πλῆθος καὶ αὐτοῖς καὶ τοῖς καμήλοις αὐτῶν οὐκ ἦν ἀριθμός καὶ ἤρχοντο εἰς τὴν γῆν ισραηλ καὶ διέφθειρον αὐτήν |
[5]For they went up, and their cattle, and came with their tents as grasshoppers in multitude: so that they and their camels were without number: and they came into the land to destroy it. |
| [6]καὶ ἐπτώχευσεν ισραηλ σφόδρα ἀπὸ προσώπου μαδιαμ καὶ ἐβόησαν οἱ υἱοὶ ισραηλ πρὸς κύριον |
[6]So was Israel exceedingly impoverished by the Midianites: therefore the children of Israel cried unto the Lord. |
| [7]ἀπὸ προσώπου μαδιαμ |
[7]And when the children of Israel cried unto the Lord because of the Midianites, |
| [8]καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν κύριος ἄνδρα προφήτην πρὸς τοὺς υἱοὺς ισραηλ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς τάδε λέγει κύριος ὁ θεὸς ισραηλ ἐγώ εἰμι ὃς ἀνήγαγον ὑμᾶς ἐκ γῆς αἰγύπτου καὶ ἐξήγαγον ὑμᾶς ἐξ οἴκου δουλείας ὑμῶν |
[8]The Lord sent unto the children of Israel a prophet, who said unto them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I have brought you up from Egypt, and have brought you out of the house of bondage, |
| [9]καὶ ἐρρυσάμην ὑμᾶς ἐκ χειρὸς αἰγύπτου καὶ ἐκ χειρὸς πάντων τῶν θλιβόντων ὑμᾶς καὶ ἐξέβαλον αὐτοὺς ἐκ προσώπου ὑμῶν καὶ ἔδωκα ὑμῖν τὴν γῆν αὐτῶν |
[9]And I have delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all that oppressed you, and have cast them out before you, and given you their land. |
| [10]καὶ εἶπα ὑμῖν ἐγὼ κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὑμῶν οὐ φοβηθήσεσθε τοὺς θεοὺς τοῦ αμορραίου ἐν οἷς ὑμεῖς καθήσεσθε ἐν τῇ γῇ αὐτῶν καὶ οὐκ εἰσηκούσατε τῆς φωνῆς μου |
[10]And I said unto you, I am the Lord your God: fear not the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell: but you have not obeyed my voice. |
| [11]καὶ ἦλθεν ἄγγελος κυρίου καὶ ἐκάθισεν ὑπὸ τὴν τερέμινθον τὴν ἐν εφραθα τὴν ιωας πατρὸς τοῦ εσδρι καὶ γεδεων υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ῥαβδίζων σῖτον ἐν ληνῷ εἰς ἐκφυγεῖν ἀπὸ προσώπου τοῦ μαδιαμ |
[11]And the angel of the Lord came, and sat under the oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the father of the Ezrites, and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the wine press, to hide it from the Midianites. |
| [12]καὶ ὤφθη αὐτῷ ὁ ἄγγελος κυρίου καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτόν κύριος μετὰ σοῦ ἰσχυρὸς τῶν δυνάμεων |
[12]Then the angel of the Lord appeared unto him, and said unto him, The Lord is with thee, thou valiant man. |
| [13]καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτὸν γεδεων ἐν ἐμοί κύριέ μου καὶ εἰ ἔστιν κύριος μεθ ἡμῶν εἰς τί εὗρεν ἡμᾶς τὰ κακὰ ταῦτα καὶ ποῦ ἐστιν πάντα τὰ θαυμάσια αὐτοῦ ἃ διηγήσαντο ἡμῖν οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν λέγοντες μὴ οὐχὶ ἐξ αἰγύπτου ἀνήγαγεν ἡμᾶς κύριος καὶ νῦν ἐξέρριψεν ἡμᾶς καὶ ἔδωκεν ἡμᾶς ἐν χειρὶ μαδιαμ |
[13]To whom Gideon answered, Ah my Lord, if the Lord be with us, why then is all this come upon us? And where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of, and said, Did not the Lord bring us out of Egypt? But now the Lord hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hand of the Midianites. |
| [14]καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν πρὸς αὐτὸν ὁ ἄγγελος κυρίου καὶ εἶπεν πορεύου ἐν ἰσχύι σου ταύτῃ καὶ σώσεις τὸν ισραηλ ἐκ χειρὸς μαδιαμ ἰδοὺ ἐξαπέστειλά σε |
[14]And the Lord looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel out of the hands of the Midianites: have not I sent thee? |
| [15]καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτὸν γεδεων ἐν ἐμοί κύριέ μου ἐν τίνι σώσω τὸν ισραηλ ἰδοὺ ἡ χιλιάς μου ἠσθένησεν ἐν μανασση καὶ ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ μικρότερος ἐν οἴκῳ πατρός μου |
[15]And he answered him, Ah my Lord, whereby shall I save Israel? Behold, my father is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house. |
| [16]καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτὸν ὁ ἄγγελος κυρίου κύριος ἔσται μετὰ σοῦ καὶ πατάξεις τὴν μαδιαμ ὡσεὶ ἄνδρα ἕνα |
[16]Then the Lord said unto him, I will therefore be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites, as one man. |
| [17]καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτὸν γεδεων εἰ δὲ εὗρον ἔλεος ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου καὶ ποιήσεις μοι σήμερον πᾶν ὅ τι ἐλάλησας μετ ἐμοῦ |
[17]And he answered him, I pray thee, if I have found favor in thy sight, then show me a sign, that thou talkest with me. |
| [18]μὴ χωρισθῇς ἐντεῦθεν ἕως τοῦ ἐλθεῖν με πρὸς σέ καὶ ἐξοίσω τὴν θυσίαν καὶ θήσω ἐνώπιόν σου καὶ εἶπεν ἐγώ εἰμι καθίομαι ἕως τοῦ ἐπιστρέψαι σε |
[18]Depart not hence, I pray thee, until I come unto thee, and bring mine offering, and lay it before thee. And he said, I will tarry until thou come again. |
| [19]καὶ γεδεων εἰσῆλθεν καὶ ἐποίησεν ἔριφον αἰγῶν καὶ οιφι ἀλεύρου ἄζυμα καὶ τὰ κρέα ἔθηκεν ἐν τῷ κοφίνῳ καὶ τὸν ζωμὸν ἔβαλεν ἐν τῇ χύτρᾳ καὶ ἐξήνεγκεν αὐτὰ πρὸς αὐτὸν ὑπὸ τὴν τερέμινθον καὶ προσήγγισεν |
[19]Then Gideon went in, and made ready a kid, and unleavened bread of an ephah of flour, and put the flesh in a basket, and put the broth in a pot, and brought it out unto him under the oak, and presented it. |
| [20]καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτὸν ὁ ἄγγελος τοῦ θεοῦ λαβὲ τὰ κρέα καὶ τὰ ἄζυμα καὶ θὲς πρὸς τὴν πέτραν ἐκείνην καὶ τὸν ζωμὸν ἐχόμενα ἔκχεε καὶ ἐποίησεν οὕτως |
[20]And the angel of God said unto him, Take the flesh and the unleavened bread, and lay them upon this stone, and pour out the broth: and he did so. |
| [21]καὶ ἐξέτεινεν ὁ ἄγγελος κυρίου τὸ ἄκρον τῆς ῥάβδου τῆς ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἥψατο τῶν κρεῶν καὶ τῶν ἀζύμων καὶ ἀνέβη πῦρ ἐκ τῆς πέτρας καὶ κατέφαγεν τὰ κρέα καὶ τοὺς ἀζύμους καὶ ὁ ἄγγελος κυρίου ἐπορεύθη ἀπὸ ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτοῦ |
[21]Then the angel of the Lord put forth the end of the staff that he had in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened bread: and there arose up fire out of the stone, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened bread: so the angel of the Lord departed out of his sight. |
| [22]καὶ εἶδεν γεδεων ὅτι ἄγγελος κυρίου οὗτός ἐστιν καὶ εἶπεν γεδεων ἆ ἆ κύριέ μου κύριε ὅτι εἶδον ἄγγελον κυρίου πρόσωπον πρὸς πρόσωπον |
[22]And when Gideon perceived that it was an angel of the Lord, Gideon then said, Alas, my Lord God: for because I have seen an angel of the Lord face to face, I shall die. |
| [23]καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ κύριος εἰρήνη σοι μὴ φοβοῦ οὐ μὴ ἀποθάνῃς |
[23]And the Lord said unto him, Peace be unto thee: fear not, thou shalt not die. |
| [24]καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐκεῖ γεδεων θυσιαστήριον τῷ κυρίῳ καὶ ἐπεκάλεσεν αὐτῷ εἰρήνη κυρίου ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης ἔτι αὐτοῦ ὄντος ἐν εφραθα πατρὸς τοῦ εσδρι |
[24]Then Gideon made an altar there unto the Lord, and called it, Jehovahshalom: unto this day it is in Ophrah, of the father of the Ezrites. |
| [25]καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῇ νυκτὶ ἐκείνῃ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ κύριος λαβὲ τὸν μόσχον τὸν ταῦρον ὅς ἐστιν τῷ πατρί σου καὶ μόσχον δεύτερον ἑπταετῆ καὶ καθελεῖς τὸ θυσιαστήριον τοῦ βααλ ὅ ἐστιν τῷ πατρί σου καὶ τὸ ἄλσος τὸ ἐπ αὐτὸ ὀλεθρεύσεις |
[25]And the same night the Lord said unto him, Take thy father's young bullock, and another bullock of seven years old, and destroy the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut down the grove that is by it, |
| [26]καὶ οἰκοδομήσεις θυσιαστήριον κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ σου ἐπὶ κορυφὴν τοῦ μαουεκ τούτου ἐν τῇ παρατάξει καὶ λήμψῃ τὸν μόσχον τὸν δεύτερον καὶ ἀνοίσεις ὁλοκαύτωμα ἐν τοῖς ξύλοις τοῦ ἄλσους οὗ ἐξολεθρεύσεις |
[26]And build an altar unto the Lord thy God upon the top of this rock, in a plain place: and take the second bullock, and offer a burnt offering with the wood of the grove, which thou shalt cut down. |
| [27]καὶ ἔλαβεν γεδεων δέκα ἄνδρας ἀπὸ τῶν δούλων ἑαυτοῦ καὶ ἐποίησεν ὃν τρόπον ἐλάλησεν πρὸς αὐτὸν κύριος καὶ ἐγενήθη ὡς ἐφοβήθη τὸν οἶκον τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ τοὺς ἄνδρας τῆς πόλεως τοῦ ποιῆσαι ἡμέρας καὶ ἐποίησεν νυκτός |
[27]Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as the Lord bade him: but because he feared to do it by day for his father's household, and the men of the city, he did it by night. |
| [28]καὶ ὤρθρισαν οἱ ἄνδρες τῆς πόλεως τὸ πρωί καὶ ἰδοὺ καθῄρητο τὸ θυσιαστήριον τοῦ βααλ καὶ τὸ ἄλσος τὸ ἐπ αὐτῷ ὠλέθρευτο καὶ εἶδαν τὸν μόσχον τὸν δεύτερον ὃν ἀνήνεγκεν ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον τὸ ᾠκοδομημένον |
[28]And when the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Baal was broken, and the grove cut down that was by it, and the second bullock offered upon the altar that was made. |
| [29]καὶ εἶπεν ἀνὴρ πρὸς τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ τίς ἐποίησεν τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο καὶ ἐπεζήτησαν καὶ ἠρεύνησαν καὶ ἔγνωσαν ὅτι γεδεων υἱὸς ιωας ἐποίησεν τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο |
[29]Therefore they said one to another, Who hath done this thing? And when they inquired and asked, they said, Gideon the son of Joash hath done this thing. |
| [30]καὶ εἶπον οἱ ἄνδρες τῆς πόλεως πρὸς ιωας ἐξένεγκε τὸν υἱόν σου καὶ ἀποθανέτω ὅτι καθεῖλεν τὸ θυσιαστήριον τοῦ βααλ καὶ ὅτι ὠλέθρευσεν τὸ ἄλσος τὸ ἐπ αὐτῷ |
[30]Then the men of the city said unto Joash, Bring out thy son, that he may die: for he hath destroyed the altar of Baal, and hath also cut down the grove that was by it. |
| [31]καὶ εἶπεν ιωας τοῖς ἀνδράσιν πᾶσιν οἳ ἐπανέστησαν αὐτῷ μὴ ὑμεῖς νῦν δικάζεσθε ὑπὲρ τοῦ βααλ ἢ ὑμεῖς σώσετε αὐτόν ὃς ἐὰν δικάσηται αὐτῷ θανατωθήτω ἕως πρωί εἰ θεός ἐστιν δικαζέσθω αὐτῷ ὅτι καθεῖλεν τὸ θυσιαστήριον αὐτοῦ |
[31]And Joash said unto all that stood by him, Will ye plead Baal's cause? Or will ye save him? He that will contend for him, let him die ere the morning. If he be God, let him plead for himself against him that hath cast down his altar. |
| [32]καὶ ἐκάλεσεν αὐτὸ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ιαρβααλ λέγων δικασάσθω ἐν αὐτῷ ὁ βααλ ὅτι καθῃρέθη τὸ θυσιαστήριον αὐτοῦ |
[32]And in that day was Gideon called Jerubbaal, that is, Let Baal plead for himself because he hath broken down his altar. |
| [33]καὶ πᾶσα μαδιαμ καὶ αμαληκ καὶ υἱοὶ ἀνατολῶν συνήχθησαν ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ καὶ παρενέβαλον ἐν κοιλάδι εζερεελ |
[33]Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites and they of the east, were gathered together, and went and pitched in the valley of Jezreel. |
| [34]καὶ πνεῦμα κυρίου ἐνεδυνάμωσεν τὸν γεδεων καὶ ἐσάλπισεν ἐν κερατίνῃ καὶ ἐφοβήθη αβιεζερ ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ |
[34]But the Spirit of the Lord came upon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet, and Abiezer was joined with him. |
| [35]καὶ ἀγγέλους ἀπέστειλεν εἰς πάντα μανασση καὶ ἐν ασηρ καὶ ἐν ζαβουλων καὶ νεφθαλι καὶ ἀνέβη εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτῶν |
[35]And he sent messengers throughout all Manasseh, which also was joined with him, and he sent messengers unto Asher, and to Zebulun and to Naphtali, and they came up to meet them. |
| [36]καὶ εἶπεν γεδεων πρὸς τὸν θεόν εἰ σὺ σῴζεις ἐν χειρί μου τὸν ισραηλ καθὼς ἐλάλησας |
[36]Then Gideon said unto God, If thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said, |
| [37]ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ τίθημι τὸν πόκον τοῦ ἐρίου ἐν τῇ ἅλωνι ἐὰν δρόσος γένηται ἐπὶ τὸν πόκον μόνον καὶ ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν ξηρασία γνώσομαι ὅτι σώσεις ἐν χειρί μου τὸν ισραηλ καθὼς ἐλάλησας |
[37]Behold, I will put a fleece of wool in the threshing place: if the dew come on the fleece only, and it be dry upon all the earth, then shall I be sure, that thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said. |
| [38]καὶ ἐγένετο οὕτως καὶ ὤρθρισεν τῇ ἐπαύριον καὶ ἐξεπίασεν τὸν πόκον καὶ ἔσταξεν δρόσος ἀπὸ τοῦ πόκου πλήρης λεκάνη ὕδατος |
[38]And so it was: for he rose up early on the morrow, and thrust the fleece together, and wringed the dew out of the fleece, and filled a bowl of water. |
| [39]καὶ εἶπεν γεδεων πρὸς τὸν θεόν μὴ δὴ ὀργισθήτω ὁ θυμός σου ἐν ἐμοί καὶ λαλήσω ἔτι ἅπαξ πειράσω δὲ καί γε ἔτι ἅπαξ ἐν τῷ πόκῳ καὶ γενέσθω ἡ ξηρασία ἐπὶ τὸν πόκον μόνον καὶ ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν γενηθήτω δρόσος |
[39]Again, Gideon said unto God, Be not angry with me, that I may speak once more: let me prove once again, I pray thee, with the fleece: let it now be dry only upon the fleece, and let dew be upon all the ground. |
| [40]καὶ ἐποίησεν οὕτως ὁ θεὸς ἐν τῇ νυκτὶ ἐκείνῃ καὶ ἐγένετο ξηρασία ἐπὶ τὸν πόκον μόνον καὶ ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν ἐγενήθη δρόσος |
[40]And God did so that same night: for it was dry upon the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground. |
