| 1 | Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valour, and he was the son of an harlot: and Gilead begat Jephthah. | καὶ ιεφθαε ὁ γαλααδίτης ἐπηρμένος δυνάμει καὶ αὐτὸς υἱὸς γυναικὸς πόρνης ἣ ἐγέννησεν τῷ γαλααδ τὸν ιεφθαε |
| 2 | And Gilead's wife bare him sons; and his wife's sons grew up, and they thrust out Jephthah, and said unto him, Thou shalt not inherit in our father's house; for thou art the son of a strange woman. | καὶ ἔτεκεν ἡ γυνὴ γαλααδ αὐτῷ υἱούς καὶ ἡδρύνθησαν οἱ υἱοὶ τῆς γυναικὸς καὶ ἐξέβαλον τὸν ιεφθαε καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ οὐ κληρονομήσεις ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν ὅτι υἱὸς γυναικὸς ἑταίρας σύ |
| 3 | Then Jephthah fled from his brethren, and dwelt in the land of Tob: and there were gathered vain men to Jephthah, and went out with him. | καὶ ἔφυγεν ιεφθαε ἀπὸ προσώπου ἀδελφῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ ὤ|κησεν ἐν γῇ τωβ καὶ συνεστράφησαν πρὸς ιεφθαε ἄνδρες κενοὶ καὶ ἐξῆλθον μετ' αὐτοῦ |
| 4 | And it came to pass in process of time, that the children of Ammon made war against Israel. | |
| 5 | And it was so, that when the children of Ammon made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to fetch Jephthah out of the land of Tob: | καὶ ἐγένετο ἡνίκα παρετάξαντο οἱ υἱοὶ αμμων μετὰ ισραηλ καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν οἱ πρεσβύτεροι γαλααδ λαβεῖν τὸν ιεφθαε ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς τωβ |
| 6 | And they said unto Jephthah, Come, and be our captain, that we may fight with the children of Ammon. | καὶ εἶπαν τῷ ιεφθαε δεῦρο καὶ ἔσῃ ἡμῖν εἰς ἀρχηγόν καὶ παραταξώμεθα πρὸς υἱοὺς αμμων |
| 7 | And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, Did not ye hate me, and expel me out of my father's house? and why are ye come unto me now when ye are in distress? | καὶ εἶπεν ιεφθαε τοῖς πρεσβυτέροις γαλααδ οὐχὶ ὑμεῖς ἐμισήσατέ με καὶ ἐξεβάλετέ με ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ πατρός μου καὶ ἐξαπεστείλατέ με ἀφ' ὑμῶν καὶ διὰ τί ἤλθατε πρός με νῦν ἡνίκα χρῄζετε |
| 8 | And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, Therefore we turn again to thee now, that thou mayest go with us, and fight against the children of Ammon, and be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead. | καὶ εἶπαν οἱ πρεσβύτεροι γαλααδ πρὸς ιεφθαε διὰ τοῦτο νῦν ἐπεστρέψαμεν πρὸς σέ καὶ πορεύσῃ μεθ' ἡμῶν καὶ παρατάξῃ πρὸς υἱοὺς αμμων καὶ ἔσῃ ἡμῖν εἰς ἄρχοντα πᾶσιν τοῖς οἰκοῦσιν γαλααδ |
| 9 | And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, If ye bring me home again to fight against the children of Ammon, and the LORD deliver them before me, shall I be your head? | καὶ εἶπεν ιεφθαε πρὸς τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους γαλααδ εἰ ἐπιστρέφετέ με ὑμεῖς παρατάξασθαι ἐν υἱοῖς αμμων καὶ παραδῷ κύριος αὐτοὺς ἐνώπιον ἐμοῦ καὶ ἐγὼ ἔσομαι ὑμῖν εἰς ἄρχοντα |
| 10 | And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, The LORD be witness between us, if we do not so according to thy words. | καὶ εἶπαν οἱ πρεσβύτεροι γαλααδ πρὸς ιεφθαε κύριος ἔστω ἀκούων ἀνὰ μέσον ἡμῶν εἰ μὴ κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμά σου οὕτως ποιήσομεν |
| 11 | Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and captain over them: and Jephthah uttered all his words before the LORD in Mizpeh. | καὶ ἐπορεύθη ιεφθαε μετὰ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων γαλααδ καὶ ἔθηκαν αὐτὸν ὁ λαὸς ἐπ' αὐτοὺς εἰς κεφαλὴν καὶ εἰς ἀρχηγόν καὶ ἐλάλησεν ιεφθαε τοὺς λόγους αὐτοῦ πάντας ἐνώπιον κυρίου ἐν μασσηφα |
| 12 | And Jephthah sent messengers unto the king of the children of Ammon, saying, What hast thou to do with me, that thou art come against me to fight in my land? | καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ιεφθαε ἀγγέλους πρὸς βασιλέα υἱῶν αμμων λέγων τί ἐμοὶ καὶ σοί ὅτι ἦλθες πρός με τοῦ παρατάξασθαι ἐν τῇ γῇ μου |
| 13 | And the king of the children of Ammon answered unto the messengers of Jephthah, Because Israel took away my land, when they came up out of Egypt, from Arnon even unto Jabbok, and unto Jordan: now therefore restore those lands again peacea | καὶ εἶπεν βασιλεὺς υἱῶν αμμων πρὸς τοὺς ἀγγέλους ιεφθαε ὅτι ἔλαβεν ισραηλ τὴν γῆν μου ἐν τῷ ἀναβαίνειν αὐτὸν ἐξ αἰγύπτου ἀπὸ αρνων καὶ ἕως ιαβοκ καὶ ἕως τοῦ ιορδάνου καὶ νῦν ἐπίστρεψον αὐτὰς ἐν εἰρήνῃ καὶ πορεύσομαι |
| 14 | And Jephthah sent messengers again unto the king of the children of Ammon: | καὶ προσέθηκεν ἔτι ιεφθαε καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἀγγέλους πρὸς βασιλέα υἱῶν αμμων |
| 15 | And said unto him, Thus saith Jephthah, Israel took not away the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon: | καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ οὕτω λέγει ιεφθαε οὐκ ἔλαβεν ισραηλ τὴν γῆν μωαβ καὶ τὴν γῆν υἱῶν αμμων |
| 16 | But when Israel came up from Egypt, and walked through the wilderness unto the Red sea, and came to Kadesh; | ὅτι ἐν τῷ ἀναβαίνειν αὐτοὺς ἐξ αἰγύπτου ἐπορεύθη ισραηλ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ ἕως θαλάσσης σιφ καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς καδης |
| 17 | Then Israel sent messengers unto the king of Edom, saying, Let me, I pray thee, pass through thy land: but the king of Edom would not hearken thereto. And in like manner they sent unto the king of Moab: but he would not consent: and Israe | καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ισραηλ ἀγγέλους πρὸς βασιλέα εδωμ λέγων παρελεύσομαι δὴ ἐν τῇ γῇ σου καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσεν βασιλεὺς εδωμ καὶ πρὸς βασιλέα μωαβ ἀπέστειλεν καὶ οὐκ εὐδόκησεν καὶ ἐκάθισεν ισραηλ ἐν καδης |
| 18 | Then they went along through the wilderness, and compassed the land of Edom, and the land of Moab, and came by the east side of the land of Moab, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, but came not within the border of Moab: for Arnon wa | καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ καὶ ἐκύκλωσεν τὴν γῆν εδωμ καὶ τὴν γῆν μωαβ καὶ ἦλθεν ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν ἡλίου τῇ γῇ μωαβ καὶ παρενέβαλον ἐν πέραν αρνων καὶ οὐκ εἰσῆλθεν ἐν ὁρίοις μωαβ ὅτι αρνων ὅριον μωαβ |
| 19 | And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel said unto him, Let us pass, we pray thee, through thy land into my place. | καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ισραηλ ἀγγέλους πρὸς σηων βασιλέα τοῦ αμορραίου βασιλέα εσεβων καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ισραηλ παρέλθωμεν δὴ ἐν τῇ γῇ σου ἕως τοῦ τόπου ἡμῶν |
| 20 | But Sihon trusted not Israel to pass through his coast: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and pitched in Jahaz, and fought against Israel. | καὶ οὐκ ἐνεπίστευσεν σηων τῷ ισραηλ παρελθεῖν ἐν ὁρίῳ αὐτοῦ καὶ συνῆξεν σηων τὸν πάντα λαὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ παρενέβαλον εἰς ιασα καὶ παρετάξατο πρὸς ισραηλ |
| 21 | And the LORD God of Israel delivered Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they smote them: so Israel possessed all the land of the Amorites, the inhabitants of that country. | καὶ παρέδωκεν κύριος ὁ θεὸς ισραηλ τὸν σηων καὶ πάντα τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ ἐν χειρὶ ισραηλ καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτόν καὶ ἐκληρονόμησεν ισραηλ τὴν πᾶσαν γῆν τοῦ αμορραίου τοῦ κατοικοῦντος τὴν γῆν ἐκείνην |
| 22 | And they possessed all the coasts of the Amorites, from Arnon even unto Jabbok, and from the wilderness even unto Jordan. | ἀπὸ αρνων καὶ ἕως τοῦ ιαβοκ καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς ἐρήμου ἕως τοῦ ιορδάνου |
| 23 | So now the LORD God of Israel hath dispossessed the Amorites from before his people Israel, and shouldest thou possess it? | καὶ νῦν κύριος ὁ θεὸς ισραηλ ἐξῆρεν τὸν αμορραῖον ἀπὸ προσώπου λαοῦ αὐτοῦ ισραηλ καὶ σὺ κληρονομήσεις αὐτόν |
| 24 | Wilt not thou possess that which Chemosh thy god giveth thee to possess? So whomsoever the LORD our God shall drive out from before us, them will we possess. | οὐχὶ ἃ ἐὰν κληρονομήσει σε χαμως ὁ θεός σου αὐτὰ κληρονομήσεις καὶ τοὺς πάντας οὓς ἐξῆρεν κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν ἀπὸ προσώπου ἡμῶν αὐτοὺς κληρονομήσομεν |
| 25 | And now art thou any thing better than Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? did he ever strive against Israel, or did he ever fight against them, | καὶ νῦν μὴ ἐν ἀγαθῷ ἀγαθώτερος σὺ ὑπὲρ βαλακ υἱὸν σεπφωρ βασιλέα μωαβ μὴ μαχόμενος ἐμαχέσατο μετὰ ισραηλ ἢ πολεμῶν ἐπολέμησεν αὐτόν |
| 26 | While Israel dwelt in Heshbon and her towns, and in Aroer and her towns, and in all the cities that be along by the coasts of Arnon, three hundred years? why therefore did ye not recover them within that time? | ἐν τῷ οἰκῆσαι ἐν εσεβων καὶ ἐν τοῖς ὁρίοις αὐτῆς καὶ ἐν γῇ αροηρ καὶ ἐν τοῖς ὁρίοις αὐτῆς καὶ ἐν πάσαις ταῖς πόλεσιν ταῖς παρὰ τὸν ιορδάνην τριακόσια ἔτη καὶ διὰ τί οὐκ ἐρρύσω αὐτοὺς ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ |
| 27 | Wherefore I have not sinned against thee, but thou doest me wrong to war against me: the LORD the Judge be judge this day between the children of Israel and the children of Ammon. | καὶ νῦν ἐγώ εἰμι οὐχ ἥμαρτόν σοι καὶ σὺ ποιεῖς μετ' ἐμοῦ πονηρίαν τοῦ παρατάξασθαι ἐν ἐμοί κρίναι κύριος κρίνων σήμερον ἀνὰ μέσον υἱῶν ισραηλ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον υἱῶν αμμων |
| 28 | Howbeit the king of the children of Ammon hearkened not unto the words of Jephthah which he sent him. | καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσεν βασιλεὺς υἱῶν αμμων τῶν λόγων ιεφθαε ὧν ἀπέστειλεν πρὸς αὐτόν |
| 29 | Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah, and he passed over Gilead, and Manasseh, and passed over Mizpeh of Gilead, and from Mizpeh of Gilead he passed over unto the children of Ammon. | καὶ ἐγένετο ἐπὶ ιεφθαε πνεῦμα κυρίου καὶ παρῆλθεν τὸν γαλααδ καὶ τὸν μανασση καὶ παρῆλθεν τὴν σκοπιὰν γαλααδ εἰς τὸ πέραν υἱῶν αμμων |
| 30 | And Jephthah vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine hands, | καὶ ηὔξατο ιεφθαε εὐχὴν τῷ κυρίῳ καὶ εἶπεν ἐὰν διδοὺς δῷς τοὺς υἱοὺς αμμων ἐν τῇ χειρί μου |
| 31 | Then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the LORD's, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering. | καὶ ἔσται ὁ ἐκπορευόμενος ὃς ἐὰν ἐξέλθῃ ἀπὸ τῆς θύρας τοῦ οἴκου μου εἰς συνάντησίν μου ἐν τῷ ἐπιστρέφειν με ἐν εἰρήνῃ ἀπὸ υἱῶν αμμων καὶ ἔσται τῷ κυρίῳ ἀνοίσω αὐτὸν ὁλοκαύτωμα |
| 32 | So Jephthah passed over unto the children of Ammon to fight against them; and the LORD delivered them into his hands. | καὶ παρῆλθεν ιεφθαε πρὸς υἱοὺς αμμων παρατάξασθαι πρὸς αὐτούς καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτοὺς κύριος ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ |
| 33 | And he smote them from Aroer, even till thou come to Minnith, even twenty cities, and unto the plain of the vineyards, with a very great slaughter. Thus the children of Ammon were subdued before the children of Israel. | καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ αροηρ ἕως ἐλθεῖν ἄχρις αρνων ἐν ἀριθμῷ εἴκοσι πόλεις καὶ ἕως εβελχαρμιν πληγὴν μεγάλην σφόδρα καὶ συνεστάλησαν οἱ υἱοὶ αμμων ἀπὸ προσώπου υἱῶν ισραηλ |
| 34 | And Jephthah came to Mizpeh unto his house, and, behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances: and she was his only child; beside her he had neither son nor daughter. | καὶ ἦλθεν ιεφθαε εἰς μασσηφα εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἰδοὺ ἡ θυγάτηρ αὐτοῦ ἐξεπορεύετο εἰς ὑπάντησιν ἐν τυμπάνοις καὶ χοροῖς καὶ ἦν αὕτη μονογενής οὐκ ἦν αὐτῷ ἕτερος υἱὸς ἢ θυγάτηρ |
| 35 | And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he rent his clothes, and said, Alas, my daughter! thou hast brought me very low, and thou art one of them that trouble me: for I have opened my mouth unto the LORD, and I cannot go back. | καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς εἶδεν αὐτὴν αὐτός διέρρηξεν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν ἆ ἆ θυγάτηρ μου ταραχῇ ἐτάραξάς με καὶ σὺ ἦς ἐν τῷ ταράχῳ μου καὶ ἐγώ εἰμι ἤνοιξα κατὰ σοῦ τὸ στόμα μου πρὸς κύριον καὶ οὐ δυνήσομαι ἐπιστρέψαι |
| 36 | And she said unto him, My father, if thou hast opened thy mouth unto the LORD, do to me according to that which hath proceeded out of thy mouth; forasmuch as the LORD hath taken vengeance for thee of thine enemies, even of the children of | ἡ δὲ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτόν πάτερ ἤνοιξας τὸ στόμα σου πρὸς κύριον ποίησόν μοι ὃν τρόπον ἐξῆλθεν ἐκ στόματός σου ἐν τῷ ποιῆσαί σοι κύριον ἐκδίκησιν ἀπὸ τῶν ἐχθρῶν σου ἀπὸ υἱῶν αμμων |
| 37 | And she said unto her father, Let this thing be done for me: let me alone two months, that I may go up and down upon the mountains, and bewail my virginity, I and my fellows. | καὶ ἥδε εἶπεν πρὸς τὸν πατέρα αὐτῆς ποιησάτω δὴ ὁ πατήρ μου τὸν λόγον τοῦτον ἔασόν με δύο μῆνας καὶ πορεύσομαι καὶ καταβήσομαι ἐπὶ τὰ ὄρη καὶ κλαύσομαι ἐπὶ τὰ παρθένιά μου ἐγώ εἰμι καὶ αἱ συνεταιρίδες μου |
| 38 | And he said, Go. And he sent her away for two months: and she went with her companions, and bewailed her virginity upon the mountains. | καὶ εἶπεν πορεύου καὶ ἀπέστειλεν αὐτὴν δύο μῆνας καὶ ἐπορεύθη αὐτὴ καὶ αἱ συνεταιρίδες αὐτῆς καὶ ἔκλαυσεν ἐπὶ τὰ παρθένια αὐτῆς ἐπὶ τὰ ὄρη |
| 39 | And it came to pass at the end of two months, that she returned unto her father, who did with her according to his vow which he had vowed: and she knew no man. And it was a custom in Israel, | καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τέλει τῶν δύο μηνῶν καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν πρὸς τὸν πατέρα αὐτῆς καὶ ἐποίησεν ἐν αὐτῇ τὴν εὐχὴν αὐτοῦ ἣν ηὔξατο καὶ αὐτὴ οὐκ ἔγνω ἄνδρα καὶ ἐγένετο εἰς πρόσταγμα ἐν ισραηλ |
| 40 | That the daughters of Israel went yearly to lament the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in a year. | ἀπὸ ἡμερῶν εἰς ἡμέρας ἐπορεύοντο θυγατέρες ισραηλ θρηνεῖν τὴν θυγατέρα ιεφθαε γαλααδ ἐπὶ τέσσαρας ἡμέρας ἐν τῷ ἐνιαυτῷ |
