Old Testament in Greek (Septuagint) |
|
|
| 56 | had returned from Persia and Media with the forces that had gone with the king, and that he was trying to seize control of the government. | | ἀπέστρεψεν ἀπὸ τῆς Περσίδος καὶ Μηδίας καὶ αἱ δυνάμεις αἱ πορευθεῖσαι μετὰ τοῦ βασιλέως μετ' αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὅτι ζητεῖ παραλαβεῖν τὰ τῶν πραγμάτων. |
|
| 57 | So he quickly gave orders to depart, and said to the king, to the commanders of the forces, and to the men, "We daily grow weaker, our food supply is scant, the place against which we are fighting is strong, and the affairs of the kingdom press urgently upon us. | | καὶ κατέσπευδεν καὶ ἐπένευσεν τοῦ ἀπελθεῖν καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα καὶ τοὺς ἡγεμόνας τῆς δυνάμεως καὶ τοὺς ἄνδρας Ἑκλείπομεν καθ' ἡμέραν, καὶ ἡ τροφὴ ἡμῖν ὀλίγη, καὶ ὁ τόπος οὗ παρεμβάλλομέν ἐστιν ὀχυρός, καὶ ἐπίκειται ἡμῖν τὰ τῆς βασιλείας· |
|
| 58 | Now then let us come to terms with these men, and make peace with them and with all their nation, | | νῦν οὖν δῶμεν δεξιὰς τοῖς ἀνθρώποις τούτοις καὶ ποιήσωμεν μετ' αὐτῶν εἰρήνην καὶ μετὰ παντὸς ἔθνους αὐτῶν |
|
| 59 | and agree to let them live by their laws as they did before; for it was on account of their laws which we abolished that they became angry and did all these things." | | καὶ στήσωμεν αὐτοῖς τοῦ πορεύεσθαι τοῖς νομίμοις αὐτῶν ὡς τὸ πρότερον· χάριν γὰρ τῶν νομίμων αὐτῶν, ὧν διεσκεδάσαμεν, ὠργίσθησαν καὶ ἐποίησαν ταῦτα πάντα. |
|
| 60 | The speech pleased the king and the commanders, and he sent to the Jews an offer of peace, and they accepted it. | | καὶ ἤρεσεν ὁ λόγος ἐναντίον τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τῶν ἀρχόντων, καὶ ἀπέστειλεν πρὸς αὐτοὺς εἰρηνεῦσαι, καὶ ἐπεδέξαντο. |
|
| 61 | So the king and the commanders gave them their oath. On these conditions the Jews evacuated the stronghold. | | καὶ ὤμοσεν αὐτοῖς ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες· ἐπὶ τούτοις ἐξῆλθον ἐκ τοῦ ὀχυρώματος. |
