- Ezra and Nehemiah form one book (2 Esdras) in this edition; the reader shows them as Ezra 1–10 and Nehemiah 1–13.
1 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.
1 In the one hundred seventy-second year, King Demetrius gathered his forces together, and went into Media to get help, that he might fight against Tryphon.
2 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.
2 When Arsaces, the king of Persia and Media, heard that Demetrius had come into his borders, he sent one of his princes to take him alive.
3 Καὶ ἐπορεύθη καὶ ἐπάταξε τὴν παρεμβολὴν Δημητρίου, καὶ συνέλαβεν αὐτὸν, καὶ ἤγαγεν αὐτὸν πρὸς Ἀρσάκην, καὶ ἔθετο αὐτὸν ἐν φυλακῇ.
3 He went and struck the army of Demetrius, and seized him and brought him to Arsaces, who put him under guard.
4 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.
4 The land had rest all the days of Simon. He sought the good of his nation. His authority and his honor was pleasing to them all his days.
5 Καὶ μετὰ πάσης τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ ἔλαβε τὴν Ἰόππην εἰς λιμένα, καὶ ἐποιήσεν εἴσοδον ταῖς νήσοις τῆς θαλάσσης.
5 Amid all his honors, he took Joppa for a harbor, and made it an entrance for the islands of the sea.
6 Καὶ ἐπλάτυνε τὰ ὅρια τῷ ἔθνει αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐκράτησε τῆς χώρας.
6 He enlarged the borders of his nation and took possession of the country.
7 Καὶ συνήγαγεν αἰχμαλωσίαν πολλὴν, καὶ ἐκυρίευσε Γαζαρῶν καὶ Βαιθσούρων καὶ τῆς ἄκρας· καὶ ἐξῇρε τὰς ἀκαθαρσίας ἐξ αὐτῆς, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ ἀντικείμενος αὐτῷ.
7 He gathered together a great number of captives, and took control of Gazara, Bethsura, and the citadel, and he removed its uncleannesses from it. There was no one who resisted him.
8 Καὶ ἦσαν γεωργοῦντες τὴν γῆν αὐτῶν μετʼ εἰρήνης, καὶ ἡ γῆ ἐδίδου τὰ γεννήματα αὐτῆς, καὶ τὰ ξύλα τῶν πεδίων τὸν καρπὸν αὐτῶν.
8 They tilled their land in peace, and the land gave her increase, and the trees of the plains gave their fruit.
9 Πρεσβύτεροι ἐν ταῖς πλατείαις ἐκάθηντο, πάντες περὶ ἀγαθῶν ἐκοινολογοῦντο, καὶ οἱ νεανίσκοι ἐνεδύσαντο δόξας καὶ στολὰς πολέμου.
9 The old men sat in the streets; they all conversed together about good things. The young men put on glorious and warlike apparel.
10 Ταῖς πόλεσιν ἐχορήγησε βρώματα, καὶ ἔταξεν αὐτὰς ἐν σκεύεσιν ὀχυρώσεως, ἕως ὅτου ὠνομάσθη τὸ ὄνομα τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ ἕως ἄκρου τῆς γῆς.
10 He provided food for the cities and furnished them with means of defense, until the glory of his name was known to the end of the earth.
11 Ἐποίησε τὴν εἰρήνην ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, καὶ εὐφράνθη Ἰσραὴλ εὐφροσύνην μεγάλην.
11 He made peace in the land, and Israel rejoiced with great joy.
12 Καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἕκαστος ὑπὸ τὴν ἄμπελον αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν συκῆν αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ ἐκφοβῶν αὐτούς.
12 Each man sat under his vine and his fig tree, and there was no one to make them afraid.
13 Καὶ ἐξέλιπεν ὁ πολεμῶν αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, καὶ οἱ βασιλεῖς συνετρίβησαν ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις.
13 No one was left in the land who fought against them. The kings were defeated in those days.
14 Καὶ ἐστήρισε πάντας τοὺς ταπεινοὺς τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ· τὸν νόμον ἐξεζήτησε, καὶ ἐξῇρε πάντα ἄνομον καὶ πονηρόν.
14 He strengthened all those of his people who were humble. He searched out the law, and every lawless and wicked person he took away.
15 Τὰ ἅγια ἐδόξασε, καὶ ἐπλήθυνε τὰ σκεύη τῶν ἁγίων.
15 He glorified the sanctuary, and added to the vessels of the temple.
16 Καὶ ἠκούσθη ἐν Ῥώμῃ ὅτι ἀπέθανεν Ἰωνάθαν, καὶ ἕως Σπάρτης, καὶ ἐλυπήθησαν σφόδρα.
16 It was heard at Rome that Jonathan was dead, and even in Sparta, and they were exceedingly grieved.
17 Ὡς δὲ ἤκουσαν ὅτι Σίμων ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ γέγονεν ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ ἀρχιερεὺς, καὶ ἐπικρατεῖ τῆς χώρας καὶ τῶν πόλεων τῶν ἐν αὐτῇ.
17 But as soon as they heard that his brother Simon was made high priest in his place, and ruled the country and the cities in it,
18 Ἔγραψαν πρὸς αὐτὸν δέλτοις χαλκαῖς, τοῦ ἀνανεώσασθαι πρὸς αὐτὸν φιλίαν καὶ τὴν συμμαχίαν ἣν ἔστησαν πρὸς Ἰούδαν καὶ Ἰωνάθαν τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ.
18 they wrote to him on brass tablets to renew with him the friendship and the alliance which they had confirmed with his brothers Judas and Jonathan.
19 Καὶ ἀνεγνώσθησαν ἐνώπιον τῆς ἐκκλησίας ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ.
19 These were read before the congregation at Jerusalem.
20 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.
20 This is the copy of the letter which the Spartans sent: “The rulers and the city of the Spartans, to Simon the high priest, to the elders, the priests, and the rest of the people of the Jews, our kindred, greetings.
21 Οἱ πρεσβεύται οἱ ἀποσταλέντες πρὸς τὸν δῆμον ἡμῶν ἀπήγγειλαν ἡμῖν περὶ τῆς δόξης ὑμῶν καὶ τιμῆς, καὶ εὐφράνθημεν ἐπὶ τῆ ἐφόδῳ αὐτῶν.
21 The ambassadors who were sent to our people reported to us about your glory and honor. We were glad for their coming,
22 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.
22 and we registered the things that were spoken by them in the public records as follows: ‘Numenius son of Antiochus, and Antipater son of Jason, the Jews’ ambassadors, came to us to renew the friendship they had with us.
23 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.
23 It pleased the people to entertain the men honorably, and to put the copy of their words in the public records, to the end that the people of the Spartans might have a record of them. Moreover they wrote a copy of these things to Simon the high priest.’”
24 Μετὰ ταῦτα ἀπέστειλε Σίμων τὸν Νουμήνιον εἰς Ῥώμην ἔχοντα ἀσπίδα χρυσῆν μεγάλην ὁλκῆς μνῶν χιλιων, εἰς τὸ στῆσαι πρὸς αὐτοὺς τὴν συμμαχίαν.
24 After this, Simon sent Numenius to Rome with a great shield of gold weighing one thousand minas, in order to confirm the alliance with them.
25 Ὡς δὲ ἤκουσεν ὁ δῆμος τῶν λόγων τούτων, εἶπον, τίνα χάριν ἀποδώσομεν Σίμωνι καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ;
25 But when the people heard these things, they said, “What thanks shall we give to Simon and his sons?
26 Ἐστήρισε γὰρ αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὁ οἶκος τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπολέμησαν τοὺς ἐχθροὺς Ἰσραὴλ ἀπʼ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἔστησαν αὐτῷ ἐλευθερίαν.
26 For he and his brothers and the house of his father have made themselves strong, and have fought and chased away Israel’s enemies, and confirmed liberty to Israel.”
27 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·
27 So they wrote on tablets of brass, and set them on pillars on mount Zion. This is the copy of the writing: “On the eighteenth day of Elul, in the one hundred seventy-second year, which is the third year of Simon the high priest,
28 ἐν Σαραμὲλ, ἐπὶ συναγωγῆς μεγάλης ἱερέων, καὶ λαοῦ, καὶ ἀρχόντων ἔθνους, καὶ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων τῆς χώρας ἐγνώρισεν ἡμῖν.
28 in Asaramel, in a great congregation of priests and people and princes of the nation, and of the elders of the country, it was proclaimed to us:
29 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·
29 ‘Since wars often occurred in the country, Simon the son of Mattathias, the son of the sons of Joarib, and his brothers, put themselves in jeopardy and withstood the enemies of their nation, that their sanctuary and the law might be established, and glorified their nation with great glory.
30 Καὶ ἤθροισεν Ἰωνάθαν τὸ ἔθνος αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐγενήθη αὐτοῖς ἀρχιερεὺς, καὶ προσετέθη πρὸς τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ.
30 Jonathan rallied the nation, became their high priest, and was gathered to his people.
31 Καὶ ἐβουλήθησαν οἱ ἐχθροὶ αὐτῶν ἐμβατεῦσαι εἰς τὴν χώραν αὐτῶν, τοῦ ἐκτρίψαι τὴν χώραν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐκτεῖναι χεῖρας ἐπὶ τὰ ἅγια αὐτῶν·
31 Their enemies planned to invade their country, that they might destroy their country utterly, and stretch out their hands against their sanctuary.
32 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,
32 Then Simon rose up and fought for his nation. He spent much of his own money to arm the valiant men of his nation and give them wages.
33 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.
33 He fortified the cities of Judea and Bethsura that lies on the borders of Judea, where the weapons of the enemies had been stored, and there he placed a garrison of Jews.
34 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.
34 He fortified Joppa which is upon the sea, and Gazara which is upon the borders of Azotus, where the enemies used to live, and placed Jews there, and set in there all things necessary for their restoration.
35 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.
35 The people saw Simon’s faith, and the glory which he resolved to bring to his nation, and they made him their leader and high priest, because he had done all these things, and for the justice and the faith which he kept to his nation, and because he sought by all means to exalt his people.
36 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.
36 In his days, things prospered in his hands, so that the Gentiles were taken away out of their country, and they also who were in the city of David, those who were in Jerusalem, who had made themselves a citadel, out of which they used to go, and polluted everything around the sanctuary, and did great damage to its purity.
37 Καὶ κατῴκισεν ἐν αὐτῇ ἄνδρας Ἰουδαίους, καὶ ὠχύρωσεν αὐτὴν πρὸς ἀσφάλειαν τῆς χώρας καὶ τῆς πόλεως, καὶ ὕψωσε τὰ τείχη Ἱερουσαλήμ.
37 He placed Jews in it and fortified it for the safety of the country and the city, and made high the walls of Jerusalem.
38 Καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Δημήτριος ἔστησεν αὐτῷ τὴν ἀρχιερωσύνην κατὰ ταῦτα,
38 King Demetrius confirmed to him the high priesthood according to these things,
39 καὶ ἐποίησεν αὐτὸν τῶν φίλων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐδόξασεν αὐτὸν δόξῃ μεγάλῃ.
39 and made him one of his friends, and honored him with great honor;
40 Ἤκουσε γὰρ ὅτι προσηγόρευνται οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι ὑπὸ Ῥωμαίων φίλοι καὶ σύμμαχοι καὶ ἀδελφοὶ, καὶ ὅτι ἀπήντησαν τοῖς πρεσβευταῖς Σίμωνος ἐνδόξως·
40 for he had heard that the Jews had been called by the Romans friends, allies, and kindred, and that they had met the ambassadors of Simon honorably;
41 καὶ ὅτι εὐδόκησαν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι, καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς, τοῦ εἶναι Σίμωνα ἡγουμένον καὶ ἀρχιερέα εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, ἕως τοῦ ἀναστῆναι προφήτην πιστόν·
41 and that the Jews and the priests were well pleased that Simon should be their leader and high priest forever, until there should arise a faithful prophet;
42 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·
42 and that he should be governor over them, and should take charge of the sanctuary, to set them over their works, and over the country, and over the weapons, and over the strongholds; and that he should take charge of the sanctuary,
43 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.
43 and that he should be obeyed by all, and that all contracts in the country should be written in his name, and that he should be clothed in purple, and wear gold;
44 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·
44 and that it should not be lawful for any of the people or of the priests to nullify any of these things, or to oppose the words that he should speak, or to gather an assembly in the country without him, or to be clothed in purple, or wear a buckle of gold;
45 Ὃς δʼ ἂν παρὰ ταῦτα ποιήσῃ ἢ ἀθετήσῃ τι τούτων, ἔνοχος ἔσται.
45 but whoever should do otherwise, or nullify any of these things, he will be liable to punishment.’”
46 Καὶ εὐδόκησε πᾶς ὁ λαὸς θέσθαι Σίμωνι, καὶ ποιῆσαι κατὰ τοὺς λόγους τούτους.
46 All the people consented to ordain for Simon that he should do according to these words.
47 Καὶ ἐπεδέξατο Σίμων, καὶ εὐδόκησεν ἀρχιερατεύειν, καὶ εἶναι στρατηγὸς καὶ ἐθνάρχης τῶν Ἰουδαίων, καὶ ἱερέων, καὶ τοῦ προστατῆσαι πάντων.
47 So Simon accepted this, and consented to be high priest, and to be captain and governor of the Jews and of the priests, and to be protector of all.
48 Καὶ τὴν γραφὴν ταύτην εἶπον θέσθαι ἐν δέλτοις χαλκαῖς, καὶ στῆσαι αὐτὰς ἐν περιβόλῳ τῶν ἁγίων ἐν τόπῳ ἐπισήμῳ,
48 They commanded to put this writing on tablets of brass, and to set them up within the precinct of the sanctuary in a conspicuous place,
49 τὰ δὲ ἀντίγραφα αὐτῶν θέσθαι ἐν τῷ γαζοφυλακίῳ, ὅπως ἕχῃ Σίμων, καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ.
49 and moreover to put copies of them in the treasury, so that Simon and his sons might have them.
