1 καὶ ἦν ἀνὴρ οἰκῶν ἐν Βαβυλῶνι καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ Ἰωακὶμ N/A
1 There dwelt a man in Babylōn, called Jōakim: N/A
2 καὶ ἔλαβεν γυναῖκα ᾗ ὄνομα Σουσάννα θυγάτηρ Χελκίου καλὴ σφόδρα καὶ φοβουμένη τὸν κύριον N/A
2 And he took a wife, whose name was Susanna, the daughter of Chelkias, a very beautiful woman, and fearing the Lord. N/A
3 καὶ οἱ γονεῖς αὐτῆς δίκαιοι καὶ ἐδίδαξαν τὴν θυγατέρα αὐτῶν κατὰ τὸν νόμον Μωυσῇ N/A
3 Her parents also were righteous, and taught their daughter according to the law of Mōyses. N/A
4 καὶ ἦν Ἰωακὶμ πλούσιος σφόδρα καὶ ἦν αὐτῷ παράδεισος γειτνιῶν τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ καὶ πρὸς αὐτὸν προσήγοντο οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι διὰ τὸ εἶναι αὐτὸν ἐνδοξότερον πάντων N/A
4 Now Jōakim was a very rich man, and had an orchard joining unto his house: and the Judeans used to go to him; because he was more honourable than all. N/A
5 καὶ ἀπεδείχθησαν δύο πρεσβύτεροι ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ κριταὶ ἐν τῷ ἐνιαυτῷ ἐκείνῳ περὶ ὧν ἐλάλησεν ὁ δεσπότης ὅτι ἐξῆλθεν ἀνομία ἐκ Βαβυλῶνος ἐκ πρεσβυτέρων κριτῶν οἳ ἐδόκουν κυβερνᾶν τὸν λαόν N/A
5 That same year two elders from the people were appointed to be judges, concerning whom the Master said, lawlessness came from Babylōn from elders who were judges, who seemed to govern the people. N/A
6 οὗτοι προσεκαρτέρουν ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ Ἰωακὶμ καὶ ἤρχοντο πρὸς αὐτοὺς πάντες οἱ κρινόμενοι 6 καὶ ἤρχοντο κρίσεις ἐξ ἄλλων πόλεων πρὸς αὐτούς
6 These spent much time at Jōakim’s house: and all that had any lawsuits came unto them. 6 And lawsuits from other cities came to them
7 καὶ ἐγένετο ἡνίκα ἀπέτρεχεν ὁ λαὸς μέσον ἡμέρας εἰσεπορεύετο Σουσάννα καὶ περιεπάτει ἐν τῷ παραδείσῳ τοῦ ἀνδρὸς αὐτῆς καὶ ἐθεώρουν αὐτὴν οἱ δύο πρεσβύτεροι καθ’ ἡμέραν εἰσπορευομένην καὶ περιπατοῦσαν 7 οὗτοι ἰδόντες γυναῖκα ἀστείαν τῷ εἴδει γυναῖκα ἀδελφοῦ αὐτῶν ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ ὄνομα Σουσάνναν θυγατέρα Χελκίου γυναῖκα Ἰωακὶμ περιπατοῦσαν ἐν τῷ παραδείσῳ τοῦ ἀνδρὸς αὐτῆς τὸ δειλινὸν
7 Now when the people departed away at noon, Susanna went into her husband’s orchard and was walking. And the two elders saw her going in every day, and walking; 7 These men, when they saw a woman (body-beautiful, wife of their brother, one of the sons of Israel, named Susanna daughter of Chelkias, wife of Jōakim) walking about in her husband’s orchard one afternoon,
8  καὶ ἐγένοντο ἐν ἐπιθυμίᾳ αὐτῆς 8  καὶ ἐπιθυμήσαντες αὐτῆς
8so that their lust was inflamed toward her. 8and when they lusted after her,
9 καὶ διέστρεψαν τὸν ἑαυτῶν νοῦν καὶ ἐξέκλιναν τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν τοῦ μὴ βλέπειν εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν μηδὲ μνημονεύειν κριμάτων δικαίων 9 διέστρεψαν τὸν νοῦν αὐτῶν καὶ ἐξέκλιναν τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν τοῦ μὴ βλέπειν εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν μηδὲ μνημονεύειν κριμάτων δικαίων
9 And they diverted their own mind, and turned away their eyes, that they might not look unto heaven, nor remember to make right decisions. 9 they diverted their mind and turned away their eyes in order not to look to heaven nor to remember to make right decisions.
10 καὶ ἦσαν ἀμφότεροι κατανενυγμένοι περὶ αὐτῆς καὶ οὐκ ἀνήγγειλαν ἀλλήλοις τὴν ὀδύνην αὐτῶν 11 ὅτι ᾐσχύνοντο ἀναγγεῖλαι τὴν ἐπιθυμίαν αὐτῶν ὅτι ἤθελον συγγενέσθαι αὐτῇ 10 καὶ ἀμφότεροι ἦσαν κατανενυγμένοι περὶ αὐτῆς καὶ ἕτερος τῷ ἑτέρῳ οὐ προσεποιεῖτο τὸ κακὸν τὸ ἔχον αὐτοὺς περὶ αὐτῆς οὐδὲ ἡ γυνὴ ἔγνω τὸ πρᾶγμα τοῦτο
10 And they were both enamoured concerning her and they didn't tell one another of their pain. 11 For they were ashamed to admit their lust, that they desired to be intimate with her. 10 But both were enamoured concerning her, and one to the other did not conceal the evil that possessed them concerning her (nor did the woman know of this matter).
12 καὶ παρετηροῦσαν φιλοτίμως καθ’ ἡμέραν ὁρᾶν αὐτήν 12 καὶ ὡς ἐγίνετο ὄρθρος ἐρχόμενοι ἔκλεπτον ἀλλήλους σπεύδοντες τίς φανήσεται αὐτῇ πρότερος καὶ λαλήσει πρὸς αὐτήν
12 Yet they watched eagerly from day to day to see her. 12 And as dawn was breaking, they would come and outwit one another, being anxious who should appear to her first and should speak to her.
13 καὶ εἶπαν ἕτερος τῷ ἑτέρῳ πορευθῶμεν δὴ εἰς οἶκον ὅτι ἀρίστου ὥρα ἐστίν καὶ ἐξελθόντες διεχωρίσθησαν ἀπ’ ἀλλήλων 13 καὶ ἰδοὺ αὕτη κατὰ τὸ εἰωθὸς περιεπάτει καὶ ὁ εἷς τῶν πρεσβυτέρων ἐληλύθει καὶ ἰδοὺ ὁ ἕτερος παρεγένετο καὶ εἷς τὸν ἕτερον ἀνέκρινε λέγων τί σὺ οὕτως ὄρθρου ἐξῆλθες οὐ παραλαβών με
13 And the one said to the other, Please let us now go home: for it is dinner time. And after going out, they separated from one another 13 And look, according to her custom, she was walking around. And the one elder had already come, and look, the other arrived, and one questioned the other saying, “Why did you come out at dawn and not take me along?”
14 καὶ ἀνακάμψαντες ἦλθον ἐπὶ[1] τὸ αὐτὸ καὶ ἀνετάζοντες ἀλλήλους τὴν αἰτίαν ὡμολόγησαν τὴν ἐπιθυμίαν αὐτῶν καὶ τότε κοινῇ συνετάξαντο καιρὸν ὅτε αὐτὴν δυνήσονται εὑρεῖν μόνην 14  καὶ ἐξωμολογήσαντο πρὸς ἀλλήλους ἑκάτερος τὴν ὀδύνην αὐτοῦ
14 And turning back again they came to the same place; and after that they had asked one another the cause, they acknowledged their lust. Then they arranged a time, when they might be able to find her alone. 14 And they acknowledged to one another each his pain.
15 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ παρατηρεῖν αὐτοὺς ἡμέραν εὔθετον εἰσῆλθέν ποτε καθὼς ἐχθὲς καὶ τρίτης ἡμέρας μετὰ δύο μόνων κορασίων καὶ ἐπεθύμησε λούσασθαι ἐν τῷ παραδείσῳ ὅτι καῦμα ἦν 15 N/A
15 And it happened while they were watching for an appropriate day, she entered one time just as yesterday and the third day with only two girls and wanted to bathe in the orchard, because it was hot. 15 N/A
16 καὶ οὐκ ἦν οὐδεὶς ἐκεῖ πλὴν οἱ δύο πρεσβύτεροι κεκρυμμένοι καὶ παρατηροῦντες αὐτήν 16  N/A
16 And no one was there except the two elders, who had been hidden and watching her. N/A
17 καὶ εἶπεν τοῖς κορασίοις ἐνέγκατε δή μοι ἔλαιον καὶ σμῆγμα καὶ τὰς θύρας τοῦ παραδείσου κλείσατε ὅπως λούσωμαι 17  N/A
17 And she said to the girls, “Please bring me olive oil and soap, and shut the orchard doors so that I can bathe.” N/A
18 καὶ ἐποίησαν καθὼς εἶπεν καὶ ἀπέκλεισαν τὰς θύρας τοῦ παραδείσου καὶ ἐξῆλθαν κατὰ τὰς πλαγίας θύρας ἐνέγκαι τὰ προστεταγμένα αὐταῖς καὶ οὐκ εἴδοσαν τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους ὅτι ἦσαν κεκρυμμένοι N/A
18 And they did as she said, and they shut the doors of the orchard and went out by the side doors to bring the things they had been commanded. And they did not see the elders, because they had been hidden. N/A
19 καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἐξήλθοσαν τὰ κοράσια καὶ ἀνέστησαν οἱ δύο πρεσβῦται καὶ ἐπέδραμον αὐτῇ 19 καὶ εἶπεν εἷς τῷ ἑτέρῳ πορευθῶμεν πρὸς αὐτήν καὶ συνθέμενοι προσήλθοσαν αὐτῇ καὶ ἐξεβιάζοντο αὐτήν
19 And it happened as the girls went out, the two elders got up and ran to her 19 And one said to the other, “Let us go to her!” So having agreed, they approached her and tried to rape her.
20 καὶ εἶπον ἰδοὺ αἱ θύραι τοῦ παραδείσου κέκλεινται καὶ οὐδεὶς θεωρεῖ ἡμᾶς καὶ ἐν ἐπιθυμίᾳ σου ἐσμεν διὸ συγκατάθου ἡμῖν καὶ γενοῦ μεθ’ ἡμῶν 20  N/A
20 and said, “Look, the orchard doors are shut, and no one can see us, and we are in lust with you. Therefore, give your consent to us, and be with us N/A
21 εἰ δὲ μή καταμαρτυρήσομέν σου ὅτι ἦν μετὰ σοῦ νεανίσκος καὶ διὰ τοῦτο ἐξαπέστειλας τὰ κοράσια ἀπὸ σοῦ N/A
21 But if not, we will testify against you that a young man was with you, and for this reason you sent the girls away from you.” N/A
22 καὶ ἀνεστέναξεν Σουσάννα καὶ εἶπεν στενά μοι πάντοθεν ἐάν τε[2] γὰρ τοῦτο πράξω θάνατός μοί ἐστιν ἐάν τε μὴ πράξω οὐκ ἐκφεύξομαι τὰς χεῖρας ὑμῶν 22 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ἡ Ἰουδαία οἶδα ὅτι ἐὰν πράξω τοῦτο θάνατός μοί ἐστι καὶ ἐὰν μὴ πράξω οὐκ ἐκφεύξομαι τὰς χεῖρας ὑμῶν
22 And Susanna groaned and said, “Things are hard for me on all sides. For if I do this, it is death for me; if I do not, I will not escape out of your hands. 22 And the Judean woman said to them, “I know that if I do this, it is death for me, and if I do not, I will not escape out of your hands.
23 αἱρετόν μοί ἐστιν μὴ πράξασαν ἐμπεσεῖν εἰς τὰς χεῖρας ὑμῶν ἢ ἁμαρτεῖν ἐνώπιον κυρίου 23 κάλλιον δέ με μὴ πράξασαν ἐμπεσεῖν εἰς τὰς χεῖρας ὑμῶν ἢ ἁμαρτεῖν ἐνώπιον κυρίου
23 It is better for me to fall into your hands, and not do it, than to sin before the Lord.” 23 But it would be better for me to fall into your hands by not doing it than to sin before the Lord.”
24 καὶ ἀνεβόησεν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ Σουσάννα ἐβόησαν δὲ καὶ οἱ δύο πρεσβῦται κατέναντι αὐτῆς 24  N/A
24 And Sousanna shouted out with a loud voice, but the two elders also shouted against her. N/A
25 καὶ δραμὼν ὁ εἷς ἤνοιξεν τὰς θύρας τοῦ παραδείσου 25  N/A
25 And after running, the one opened the orchard doors. N/A
26 ὡς δὲ ἤκουσαν τὴν κραυγὴν ἐν τῷ παραδείσῳ οἱ ἐκ τῆς οἰκίας εἰσεπήδησαν διὰ τῆς πλαγίας θύρας ἰδεῖν τὸ συμβεβηκὸς αὐτῇ 26  N/A
26 So when the ones from the house heard the shouting in the orchard, they rushed in through the side door to see what had happened to her. N/A
27 ἡνίκα δὲ εἶπαν οἱ πρεσβῦται τοὺς λόγους αὐτῶν κατῃσχύνθησαν οἱ δοῦλοι σφόδρα ὅτι πώποτε οὐκ ἐρρέθη λόγος τοιοῦτος περὶ Σουσάννης N/A
27 But when the elders spoke their statements, the slaves were very ashamed, because a statement like this had never before been said about Susanna. N/A
28 καὶ ἐγένετο τῇ ἐπαύριον ὡς συνῆλθεν ὁ λαὸς πρὸς τὸν ἄνδρα αὐτῆς Ἰωακὶμ ἦλθον οἱ δύο πρεσβῦται πλήρεις τῆς ἀνόμου ἐννοίας κατὰ Σουσάννης τοῦ θανατῶσαι αὐτὴν 28 οἱ δὲ παράνομοι ἄνδρες ἀπέστρεψαν ἀπειλοῦντες ἐν ἑαυτοῖς καὶ ἐνεδρεύοντες ἵνα θανατώσουσιν αὐτήν καὶ ἐλθόντες ἐπὶ τὴν συναγωγὴν τῆς πόλεως οὗ παρῳκοῦσαν καὶ συνήδρευσαν οἱ ὄντες ἐκεῖ πάντες οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ
28 And it happened on the next day, when the people gathered to her husband Jōakim, the two elders came, full of the lawless intent against Susanna, to have her put to death. So the lawless men turned away, uttering threats among themselves and lurked in ambush so that they might have her put to death. And when they came to the city synagogue, where they stayed, all the sons of Israel who were there deliberated.
29 καὶ εἶπαν ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ λαοῦ ἀποστείλατε ἐπὶ Σουσάνναν θυγατέρα Χελκίου ἥ ἐστιν γυνὴ Ἰωακὶμ οἱ δὲ ἀπέστειλαν 29 καὶ ἀναστάντες οἱ δύο πρεσβύτεροι καὶ κριταὶ εἶπαν ἀποστείλατε ἐπὶ Σουσάνναν θυγατέρα Χελκίου ἥτις ἐστὶ γυνὴ Ἰωακὶμ οἱ δὲ εὐθέως ἐκάλεσαν αὐτήν
29 And in the presence of the people they said, “Send for Susanna, daughter of Chelkias, who is the wife of Jōakim.” So they sent, 29 And when the two elders and judges stood up they said, “Send for Susanna daughter of Chelkias, who is the wife of Jōakim.” So they immediately called her.
30 καὶ ἦλθεν αὐτὴ καὶ οἱ γονεῖς αὐτῆς καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῆς καὶ πάντες οἱ συγγενεῖς αὐτῆς 30 ὡς δὲ παρεγενήθη ἡ γυνὴ σὺν τῷ πατρὶ ἑαυτῆς καὶ τῇ μητρί καὶ οἱ παῖδες καὶ αἱ παιδίσκαι αὐτῆς ὄντες τὸν ἀριθμὸν πεντακόσιοι παρεγένοντο καὶ τὰ παιδία Σουσάννας τέσσαρα
30 and she came, and her parents and her children and all her relatives. 30 Now, when the woman arrived with her own father and mother, even her male servants and female servants (who numbered 500) came and Sousanna’s four children.
31 ἡ δὲ Σουσάννα ἦν τρυφερὰ σφόδρα καὶ καλὴ τῷ εἴδει 31 ἦν δὲ ἡ γυνὴ τρυφερὰ σφόδρα
31 Now Susanna was very dainty and beautiful in appearance. 31 Now the woman was very dainty.
32 οἱ δὲ παράνομοι ἐκέλευσαν ἀποκαλυφθῆναι αὐτήν ἦν γὰρ κατακεκαλυμμένη ὅπως ἐμπλησθῶσιν τοῦ κάλλους αὐτῆς 32 καὶ προσέταξαν οἱ παράνομοι ἀποκαλύψαι αὐτήν ἵνα ἐμπλησθῶσι κάλλους ἐπιθυμίας αὐτῆς
32 Then the lawless ones ordered her to be uncovered (for she was veiled) so that they could be satisfied with her beauty. 32 And the lawless ones ordered her to uncover her in order that they could be satisfied with lust for her beauty.
33 ἔκλαιον δὲ οἱ παρ’ αὐτῆς καὶ πάντες οἱ ἰδόντες αὐτήν 33 καὶ ἐκλαίοσαν οἱ παρ’ αὐτῆς πάντες καὶ ὅσοι αὐτὴν ᾔδεισαν πάντες
33 But those who were with her and all who saw her began weeping. 33 And all those who were with her and all who knew her began weeping.
34 ἀναστάντες δὲ οἱ δύο πρεσβῦται ἐν μέσῳ τῷ λαῷ ἔθηκαν τὰς χεῖρας ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτῆς 34 ἀναστάντες δὲ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι καὶ κριταὶ ἐπέθηκαν τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτῆς
34 Then after standing up before the people, the two elders put their hands on her head. 34 Then after standing up, the elders and judges placed their hands on her head.
35 ἡ δὲ κλαίουσα ἀνέβλεψεν εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν ὅτι ἦν ἡ καρδία αὐτῆς πεποιθυῖα ἐπὶ τῷ κυρίῳ 35 ἡ δὲ καρδία αὐτῆς ἐπεποίθει ἐπὶ κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ αὐτῆς καὶ ἀνακύψασα ἔκλαυσεν ἐν ἑαυτῇ λέγουσα 35 κύριε ὁ θεὸς ὁ αἰώνιος ὁ εἰδὼς τὰ πάντα πρὶν γενέσεως αὐτῶν σὺ οἶδας ὅτι οὐκ ἐποίησα ἃ πονηρεύονται οἱ ἄνομοι οὗτοι ἐπ’ ἐμοί καὶ εἰσήκουσε κύριος τῆς δεήσεως αὐτῆς
35 But while crying, she looked up into the sky, because her heart trusted upon the Lord. 35 But her heart trusted upon the Lord, her God, and after lifting her head, she wept, saying to herself, 35a“Oh Lord, everlasting God, you who know all things before their beginning, you know that I have not done what these lawless men are maliciously intending against me.” And the Lord heard her petition.
36 εἶπαν δὲ οἱ πρεσβῦται περιπατούντων ἡμῶν ἐν τῷ παραδείσῳ μόνων εἰσῆλθεν αὕτη μετὰ δύο παιδισκῶν καὶ ἀπέκλεισεν τὰς θύρας τοῦ παραδείσου καὶ ἀπέλυσεν τὰς παιδίσκας 36 οἱ δὲ δύο πρεσβύτεροι εἶπαν ἡμεῖς περιεπατοῦμεν ἐν τῷ παραδείσῳ τοῦ ἀνδρὸς αὐτῆς
36 Then the elders said, “While we were walking in the orchard alone, this woman came in with two maids and shut the orchard doors and dismissed the maids. 36 Then the two elders said, “We were walking around in her husband’s orchard,
37 καὶ ἦλθεν πρὸς αὐτὴν νεανίσκος ὃς ἦν κεκρυμμένος καὶ ἀνέπεσε μετ’ αὐτῆς 37 καὶ κυκλοῦντες τὸ στάδιον εἴδομεν ταύτην ἀναπαυομένην μετὰ ἀνδρὸς καὶ στάντες ἐθεωροῦμεν αὐτοὺς ὁμιλοῦντας ἀλλήλοις
37 And a young man, who was hiding, came to her and lay with her.[3] 37 While we were going around the area, we saw this woman resting with a man. And while we stood, we saw them having sexual intercourse with each other.
38 ἡμεῖς δὲ ὄντες ἐν τῇ γωνίᾳ τοῦ παραδείσου ἰδόντες τὴν ἀνομίαν ἐδράμομεν ἐπ’ αὐτούς 38 καὶ αὐτοὶ οὐκ ᾔδεισαν ὅτι εἱστήκειμεν τότε συνειπάμεθα ἀλλήλοις λέγοντες μάθωμεν τίνες εἰσὶν οὗτοι
38 But since we were in the corner of the orchard, when we saw the lawlessness, we ran to them. And they did not know that we stood there. Then we agreed together, saying, ‘Let’s learn who they are.’
39 καὶ ἰδόντες συγγινομένους αὐτοὺς ἐκείνου μὲν οὐκ ἠδυνήθημεν ἐγκρατεῖς γενέσθαι διὰ τὸ ἰσχύειν αὐτὸν ὑπὲρ ἡμᾶς καὶ ἀνοίξαντα τὰς θύρας ἐκπεπηδηκέναι 39 καὶ προσελθόντες ἐπέγνωμεν αὐτήν ὁ δὲ νεανίσκος ἔφυγε συγκεκαλυμμένος
39 And after seeing them having sexual intercourse, we were not able to control that man because he was stronger than we; and when he had opened the doors, he escaped. 39 And as we approached we recognized her, but the young man fled, disguised.
40 ταύτης δὲ ἐπιλαβόμενοι ἐπηρωτῶμεν τίς ἦν ὁ νεανίσκος 40 ταύτης δὲ ἐπιλαβόμενοι ἐπηρωτῶμεν αὐτήν τίς ὁ ἄνθρωπος
40 But when we had seized this woman, we asked who the young man was, 40 But when we had seized this woman, we asked her, ‘Who is the man?’
41 καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησεν ἀναγγεῖλαι ἡμῖν ταῦτα μαρτυροῦμεν καὶ ἐπίστευσεν αὐτοῖς ἡ συναγωγὴ ὡς πρεσβυτέροις τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ κριταῖς καὶ κατέκριναν αὐτὴν ἀποθανεῖν 41 καὶ οὐκ ἀπήγγειλεν ἡμῖν τίς ἦν ταῦτα μαρτυροῦμεν καὶ ἐπίστευσεν αὐτοῖς ἡ συναγωγὴ πᾶσα ὡς πρεσβυτέρων ὄντων καὶ κριτῶν τοῦ λαοῦ
41 and she did not want to tell us. These things we testify.” And as they were elders of the people and judges, the synagogue believed them, and they condemned her to death. 41 but she did not tell us who he was. These things we testify.” And as they were elders and judges of the people, the whole synagogue believed them.
42 ἀνεβόησεν δὲ φωνῇ μεγάλῃ Σουσάννα καὶ εἶπεν ὁ θεὸς ὁ αἰώνιος ὁ τῶν κρυπτῶν γνώστης ὁ εἰδὼς τὰ πάντα πρὶν γενέσεως αὐτῶν 42  N/A
42 Then Susanna shouted out with a loud voice and said, “Oh everlasting God, you who know hidden things, you who know all things before their beginning, N/A
43 σὺ ἐπίστασαι ὅτι ψευδῆ μου κατεμαρτύρησαν καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀποθνῄσκω μὴ ποιήσασα μηδὲν ὧν οὗτοι ἐπονηρεύσαντο κατ’ ἐμοῦ N/A
43 you know that they have testified lies against me. And look, I will die, though I have done nothing that they have maliciously intended against me!” N/A
44 καὶ εἰσήκουσεν κύριος τῆς φωνῆς αὐτῆς 44 καὶ ἰδοὺ ἄγγελος κυρίου ἐκείνης ἐξαγομένης ἀπολέσθαι
44 And the Lord heard her voice. And look, there was an angel of the Lord as she was led out to be executed.
45 καὶ ἀπαγομένης αὐτῆς ἀπολέσθαι ἐξήγειρεν ὁ θεὸς τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον παιδαρίου νεωτέρου ᾧ ὄνομα Δανιὴλ 45 καὶ ἔδωκεν ὁ ἄγγελος καθὼς προσετάγη πνεῦμα συνέσεως νεωτέρῳ ὄντι Δανιὴλ
45 And as she was being led away to be executed, God awakened the holy spirit of a young lad whose name was Daniēl, 45 And the angel, just as he was ordered, gave a spirit of understanding to a youth, who was Daniēl.
46 καὶ ἐβόησεν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ καθαρὸς ἐγὼ ἀπὸ τοῦ αἵματος ταύτης 46  N/A
46 and he shouted with a loud voice, “I am innocent of this woman’s blood!” N/A
47 ἐπέστρεψεν δὲ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπαν τίς ὁ λόγος οὗτος ὃν σὺ λελάληκας N/A
47 Then all the people turned to him and said, “What is this statement that you have spoken?” N/A
48 ὁ δὲ στὰς ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν εἶπεν οὕτως μωροί οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ οὐκ ἀνακρίναντες οὐδὲ τὸ σαφὲς ἐπιγνόντες κατεκρίνατε θυγατέρα Ἰσραὴλ 48 διαστείλας δὲ Δανιὴλ τὸν ὄχλον καὶ στὰς ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν εἶπεν οὕτως μωροί υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ οὐκ ἀνακρίναντες οὐδὲ τὸ σαφὲς ἐπιγνόντες ἀπεκρίνατε[4] θυγατέρα Ἰσραὴλ
48 After standing in the midst of them, he said,“Are you such fools, Oh sons of Israēl? Without examining or clearly knowing, do you condemn a daughter of Israēl? 48 Then after parted the crowd, and after standing in the midst of them, Daniēl said, “Are you such fools, Oh sons of Israēl? Without examining or clearly knowing, do you answer[4] a daughter of Israēl?
49 ἀναστρέψατε εἰς τὸ κριτήριον ψευδῆ γὰρ οὗτοι κατεμαρτύρησαν αὐτῆς 49  N/A
49 Return to the court, for these men have testified lies against her.” N/A
50 καὶ ἀνέστρεψεν πᾶς ὁ λαὸς μετὰ σπουδῆς καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι δεῦρο κάθισον ἐν μέσῳ ἡμῶν καὶ ἀνάγγειλον ἡμῖν ὅτι σοὶ δέδωκεν ὁ θεὸς τὸ πρεσβεῖον N/A
50 And all the people returned with speed. And the elders said to him, “Come, sit in our midst, and tell us, for God has regarded you as an elder.” N/A
51 καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτοὺς Δανιὴλ διαχωρίσατε αὐτοὺς ἀπ’ ἀλλήλων μακράν καὶ ἀνακρινῶ αὐτούς 51 καὶ νῦν διαχωρίσατέ μοι αὐτοὺς ἀπ’ ἀλλήλων μακράν ἵνα ἐτάσω αὐτούς
51 And Daniēl said to them, “Separate them far from one another, and I will examine them.” And now, separate them far from one another for me so that I can test them.”
52 ὡς δὲ διεχωρίσθησαν εἷς ἀπὸ τοῦ ἑνός ἐκάλεσεν τὸν ἕνα αὐτῶν καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτόν πεπαλαιωμένε ἡμερῶν κακῶν νῦν ἥκασιν αἱ ἁμαρτίαι σου ἃς ἐποίεις τὸ πρότερον 52 ὡς δὲ διεχωρίσθησαν εἶπεν Δανιὴλ τῇ συναγωγῇ νῦν μὴ βλέψητε ὅτι οὗτοί εἰσι πρεσβύτεροι λέγοντες οὐ μὴ ψεύσωνται ἀλλὰ ἀνακρινῶ αὐτοὺς κατὰ τὰ ὑποπίπτοντά μοι καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸν ἕνα αὐτῶν καὶ προσήγαγον τὸν πρεσβύτερον τῷ νεωτέρῳ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Δανιὴλ ἄκουε ἄκουε πεπαλαιωμένε ἡμερῶν κακῶν νῦν ἥκασί σου αἱ ἁμαρτίαι ἃς ἐποίεις τὸ πρότερον
52 So when they were separated one from the one, he summoned one of them and said to him, “You have grown old in wicked days, your sins have now come, which you have committed formerly, 52 So, when they were separated, Daniēl said to the synagogue, “Now, have no regard that they are elders, saying, ‘They would never lie!’ But I will examine them according to what occurs to me.” And he summoned one of them, and they brought the elder to the youth and Daniēl to him, “Hear! Hear! You who have grown old in wicked days, your sins have now come, which you have committed formerly,
53 κρίνων κρίσεις ἀδίκους καὶ τοὺς μὲν ἀθῴους κατακρίνων ἀπολύων δὲ τοὺς αἰτίους λέγοντος τοῦ κυρίου ἀθῷον καὶ δίκαιον οὐκ ἀποκτενεῖς 53 πιστευθεὶς ἀκούειν καὶ κρίνειν κρίσεις θάνατον ἐπιφερούσας καὶ τὸν μὲν ἀθῷον κατέκρινας τοὺς δὲ ἐνόχους ἠφίεις τοῦ κυρίου λέγοντος ἀθῷον καὶ δίκαιον οὐκ ἀποκτενεῖς
53 when you judged unjust cases, and condemning the innocent, while releasing those responsible, though the Lord says, ‘You shall not kill an innocent and righteous person.’ 53 when you were entrusted to hear and to judge cases carrying a death sentence and you condemned the innocent while you were acquitting the guilty, though the Lord says, ‘You shall not kill an innocent and righteous person.’
54 νῦν οὖν ταύτην εἴπερ εἶδες εἰπόν ὑπὸ τί δένδρον εἶδες αὐτοὺς ὁμιλοῦντας ἀλλήλοις ὁ δὲ εἶπεν ὑπὸ σχῖνον 54 νῦν οὖν ὑπὸ τί δένδρον καὶ ποταπῷ τοῦ παραδείσου τόπῳ ἑώρακας αὐτοὺς ὄντας σὺν ἑαυτοῖς καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἀσεβής ὑπὸ σχῖνον
54 Now, therefore, if you really saw this woman, tell: Under what tree did you see them having sexual intercourse with one another?” Then he said, “Under a mastich.” 54 Now, therefore, under what tree and at what sort of place of the orchard did you see them with one another?” And the ungodly one said, “Under a mastich.”
55 εἶπεν δὲ Δανιὴλ ὀρθῶς ἔψευσαι εἰς τὴν σεαυτοῦ κεφαλήν ἤδη γὰρ ἄγγελος τοῦ θεοῦ λαβὼν φάσιν παρὰ τοῦ θεοῦ σχίσει σὲ μέσον 55 εἶπεν δὲ ὁ νεώτερος ὀρθῶς ἔψευσαι εἰς τὴν σεαυτοῦ ψυχήν ὁ γὰρ ἄγγελος κυρίου σχίσει σου τὴν ψυχὴν σήμερον
55 Then Daniēl said, “Truly you have lied upon your own head, for already as the angel of God received the sentence from God he will split you in two.” 55 Then the youth said, “Truly you have lied upon your own soul, for today the angel of the Lord will split your soul.”
56 καὶ μεταστήσας αὐτὸν ἐκέλευσεν προσαγαγεῖν τὸν ἕτερον καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ σπέρμα Χαναὰν καὶ οὐκ Ἰούδα τὸ κάλλος ἐξηπάτησέν σὲ καὶ ἡ ἐπιθυμία διέστρεψεν τὴν καρδίαν σου 56 καὶ τοῦτον μεταστήσας εἶπε προσαγαγεῖν αὐτῷ τὸν ἕτερον καὶ τούτῳ δὲ εἶπεν διὰ τί διεστραμμένον τὸ σπέρμα σου ὡς Σιδῶνος καὶ οὐχ ὡς Ἰούδα τὸ κάλλος σὲ ἠπάτησεν ἡ μιαρὰ ἐπιθυμία
56 And after dismissing him, he ordered them to bring the other. And he said to him, “Oh seed of Chanaan and not Jouda, beauty has beguiled you, and lust has distorted your heart. 56 And after dismissing this one, he told them to bring the other to him. Then he also said to that one, “Why is your seed distorted, like that of Sidōn, and not like that of Jouda? Beauty has deceived you (or vile lust).
57 οὕτως ἐποιεῖτε θυγατράσιν Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἐκεῖναι φοβούμεναι ὡμίλουν ὑμῖν ἀλλ’ οὐ θυγάτηρ Ἰούδα ὑπέμεινεν τὴν ἀνομίαν ὑμῶν 57 καὶ οὕτως ἐποιεῖτε θυγατράσιν Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἐκεῖναι φοβούμεναι ὡμιλοῦσαν ὑμῖν ἀλλ’ οὐ θυγάτηρ Ἰούδα ὑπέμεινε τὴν νόσον ὑμῶν ἐν ἀνομίᾳ ὑπενεγκεῖν
57 Thus you used to do to the daughters of Israēl, and they, being afraid, would have sexual intercourse with you; but a daughter of Jouda did not tolerate your lawlessness. 57 And thus you used to do to the daughters of Israēl, and they, being afraid, would have sexual intercourse with you; but a daughter of Jouda did not tolerate permitting your sickness in lawlessness.
58 νῦν οὖν λέγε μοι ὑπὸ τί δένδρον κατέλαβες αὐτοὺς ὁμιλοῦντας ἀλλήλοις ὁ δὲ εἶπεν ὑπὸ πρῖνον 58 νῦν οὖν λέγε μοι ὑπὸ τί δένδρον καὶ ἐν ποίῳ τοῦ κήπου τόπῳ κατέλαβες αὐτοὺς ὁμιλοῦντας ἀλλήλοις ὁ δὲ εἶπεν ὑπὸ πρῖνον
58 Now, therefore, tell me: Under what tree did you catch them having sexual intercourse with one another?” Then, he said, “Under an oak.” 58 Now, therefore, tell me: Under what tree and in what place of the garden did you catch them having sexual intercourse with one another?” Then, he said, “Under an oak.”
59 εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ Δανιὴλ ὀρθῶς ἔψευσαι καὶ σὺ εἰς τὴν σεαυτοῦ κεφαλήν μένει γὰρ ὁ ἄγγελος τοῦ θεοῦ τὴν ῥομφαίαν ἔχων πρίσαι σὲ μέσον ὅπως ἐξολεθρεύσῃ ὑμᾶς 59 καὶ εἶπεν Δανιὴλ ἁμαρτωλέ νῦν ὁ ἄγγελος κυρίου τὴν ῥομφαίαν ἕστηκεν ἔχων ἕως ὁ λαὸς ἐξολεθρεύσει ὑμᾶς ἵνα καταπρίσῃ σὲ
59 Then Daniēl said to him, “Truly you also have lied upon your own head, for the angel of God is waiting with the sword to saw you in two so as to destroy you (both).” 59 And Daniēl said, “Sinner! Now, the angel of the Lord stands having the sword until the people destroy you (both) so that he may saw you apart.”
60  καὶ ἀνεβόησεν πᾶσα ἡ συναγωγὴ φωνῇ μεγάλῃ καὶ εὐλόγησαν τῷ θεῷ τῷ σῴζοντι τοὺς ἐλπίζοντας ἐπ’ αὐτόν 60  καὶ πᾶσα ἡ συναγωγὴ ἀνεβόησεν ἐπὶ τῷ νεωτέρῳ ὡς ἐκ τοῦ ἰδίου στόματος ὁμολόγους αὐτοὺς κατέστησεν ἀμφοτέρους ψευδομάρτυρας
60 And the whole synagogue shouted with a loud voice and blessed the God who saves those who hope in him. 60 And the whole synagogue shouted for the youth, how out of their own mouths he had established them both as false witnesses by their own admission.
61  καὶ ἀνέστησαν ἐπὶ τοὺς δύο πρεσβύτας ὅτι συνέστησεν αὐτοὺς Δανιὴλ ἐκ τοῦ στόματος αὐτῶν ψευδομαρτυρήσαντας καὶ ἐποίησαν αὐτοῖς ὃν τρόπον ἐπονηρεύσαντο τῷ πλησίον 61  καὶ ὡς ὁ νόμος διαγορεύει ἐποίησαν αὐτοῖς καθὼς ἐπονηρεύσαντο κατὰ τῆς ἀδελφῆς
61 And they rose up against the two elders, because Daniēl had implicated them out of their own mouth that as false witnesses, and they did to them what they had wickedly intended to the neighbor. 61 And as the law states explicitly, they did to them just as they had wickedly intended against their sister.
62 ποιῆσαι κατὰ τὸν νόμον Μωυσῇ καὶ ἀπέκτειναν αὐτούς καὶ ἐσώθη αἷμα ἀναίτιον ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ 62  καὶ ἐφίμωσαν αὐτοὺς καὶ ἐξαγαγόντες ἔρριψαν εἰς φάραγγα τότε ὁ ἄγγελος κυρίου ἔρριψε πῦρ διὰ μέσου αὐτῶν καὶ ἐσώθη αἷμα ἀναίτιον ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ
62 by doing to them according to the law of Mōyses, and they killed them. And innocent blood was saved that day. And they silenced them and took them away and threw them into a ravine. Then the angel of the Lord threw fire in their midst. And innocent blood was saved that day.
63 Χελκίας δὲ καὶ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ ᾔνεσαν τὸν θεὸν περὶ τῆς θυγατρὸς αὐτῶν Σουσάννας μετὰ Ἰωακὶμ τοῦ ἀνδρὸς αὐτῆς καὶ τῶν συγγενῶν πάντων ὅτι οὐχ εὑρέθη ἐν αὐτῇ ἄσχημον πρᾶγμα 63 διὰ τοῦτο οἱ νεώτεροι ἀγαπητοὶ Ἰακὼβ ἐν τῇ ἁπλότητι αὐτῶν καὶ ἡμεῖς φυλασσώμεθα εἰς υἱοὺς δυνατοὺς νεωτέρους εὐσεβήσουσι γὰρ νεώτεροι καὶ ἔσται ἐν αὐτοῖς πνεῦμα ἐπιστήμης καὶ συνέσεως εἰς αἰῶνα αἰῶνος
63 Then Chelkias and his wife praised God concerning their daughter together with her husband Joakim and all the relatives, because no indecent act was found against her. 63 For this reason youths are beloved by Jakōb, in their sincerity. And we watch out for young able sons. For youths will be pious, and a spirit of knowledge and understanding shall be with them forever and ever.
64 καὶ Δανιὴλ ἐγένετο μέγας ἐνώπιον τοῦ λαοῦ ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας ἐκείνης καὶ ἐπέκεινα N/A
64 And Daniēl became great in the presence of the people from that day onward. N/A
