DB1 | Punishment of the Egyptians. Wis.12.23-27 | KNSB Contents | notes| 12 | katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE | Passage | Old Testament in Greek (Septuagint) |
| 23 | Therefore those who in folly of life lived unrighteously you tormented through their own abominations. | Punishment of the Egyptians. Wis.12.23-27 | ὅθεν καὶ τοὺς ἐν ἀφροσύνῃ ζωῆς βιώσαντας ἀδίκως διὰ τῶν ἰδίων ἐβασάνισας βδελυγμάτων· |
| 24 | For they went far astray on the paths of error, accepting as gods those animals which even their enemies despised; they were deceived like foolish babes. | καὶ γὰρ τῶν πλάνης ὁδῶν μακρότερον ἐπλανήθησαν, θεοὺς ὑπολαμβάνοντες τὰ καὶ ἐν ζῴοις τῶν αἰσχρῶν ἄτιμα, νηπίων δίκην ἀφρόνων ψευσθέντες. | |
| 25 | Therefore, as to thoughtless children, you sent your judgment to mock them. | διὰ τοῦτο ὡς παισὶν ἀλογίστοις τὴν κρίσιν εἰς ἐμπαιγμὸν ἔπεμψας. | |
| 26 | But those who have not heeded the warning of light rebukes will experience the deserved judgment of God. | οἱ δὲ παιγνίοις ἐπιτιμήσεως μὴ νουθετηθέντες ἀξίαν θεοῦ κρίσιν πειράσουσιν. | |
| 27 | For when in their suffering they became incensed at those creatures which they had thought to be gods, being punished by means of them, they saw and recognized as the true God him whom they had before refused to know. Therefore the utmost condemnation came upon them. | ἐφ' οἷς γὰρ αὐτοὶ πάσχοντες ἠγανάκτουν, ἐπὶ τούτοις, οὓς ἐδόκουν θεούς, ἐν αὐτοῖς κολαζόμενοι ἰδόντες, ὃν πάλαι ἠρνοῦντο εἰδέναι, θεὸν ἐπέγνωσαν ἀληθῆ· διὸ καὶ τὸ τέρμα τῆς καταδίκης ἐπ' αὐτοὺς ἐπῆλθεν. | |
