1 katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE Passage Old Testament in Greek (Septuagint)

3I, Tobit, walked in the ways of truth and righteousness all the days of my life, and I performed many acts of charity to my brethren and countrymen who went with me into the land of the Assyrians, to Nineveh.Tobit's early life. Tob.1.3-5Ἑγὼ Τωβιτ ὁδοῖς ἀληθείας ἐπορευόμην καὶ δικαιοσύνης πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας τῆς ζωῆς μου καὶ ἐλεημοσύνας πολλὰς ἐποίησα τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς μου καὶ τῷ ἔθνει τοῖς συμπορευθεῖσιν μετ' ἐμοῦ εἰς χώραν Ἀσσυρίων εἰς Νινευη.
4Now when I was in my own country, in the land of Israel, while I was still a young man, the whole tribe of Naphtali my forefather deserted the house of Jerusalem. This was the place which had been chosen from among all the tribes of Israel, where all the tribes should sacrifice and where the temple of the dwelling of the Most High was consecrated and established for all generations for ever.  καὶ ὅτε ἤμην ἐν τῇ χώρᾳ μου ἐν τῇ γῇ Ισραηλ, νεωτέρου μου ὄντος, πᾶσα φυλὴ τοῦ Νεφθαλιμ τοῦ πατρός μου ἀπέστη ἀπὸ τοῦ οἴκου Ιεροσολύμων τῆς ἐκλεγείσης ἀπὸ πασῶν τῶν φυλῶν Ισραηλ εἰς τὸ θυσιάζειν πάσας τὰς φυλάς· καὶ ἡγιάσθη ὁ ναὸς τῆς κατασκηνώσεως τοῦ ὑψίστου καὶ ᾠκοδομήθη εἰς πάσας τὰς γενεὰς τοῦ αἰῶνος.
4Now when I was in my own country, in the land of Israel, while I was still a young man, the whole tribe of Naphtali my forefather deserted the house of Jerusalem. This was the place which had been chosen from among all the tribes of Israel, where all the tribes should sacrifice and where the temple of the dwelling of the Most High was consecrated and established for all generations for ever.  καὶ ὅτε ἤμην ἐν τῇ χώρᾳ μου ἐν γῇ Ισραηλ καὶ ὅτε ἤμην νέος, πᾶσα ἡ φυλὴ Νεφθαλιμ τοῦ πατρός μου ἀπέστησαν ἀπὸ τοῦ οἴκου Δαυιδ τοῦ πατρός μου καὶ ἀπὸ Ιερουσαλημ πόλεως τῆς ἐκλεγείσης ἐκ πασῶν φυλῶν Ισραηλ εἰς τὸ θυσιάζειν πάσαις φυλαῖς Ισραηλ· καὶ ἡγιάσθη ὁ ναὸς τῆς κατασκηνώσεως τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ᾠκοδομήθη ἐν αὐτῇ εἰς πάσας τὰς γενεὰς τοῦ αἰῶνος.
5All the tribes that joined in apostasy used to sacrifice to the calf Baal, and so did the house of Naphtali my forefather.  καὶ πᾶσαι αἱ φυλαὶ αἱ συναποστᾶσαι ἔθυον τῇ Βααλ τῇ δαμάλει καὶ ὁ οἶκος Νεφθαλιμ τοῦ πατρός μου.

Notes: This page displays passages from the katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE.
The katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have used the name 'Yahweh'.
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.

The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background.
