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

18The king, having had a taste of the daring of the Jews, tried strategy in attacking their positions. Antiochus V Eupator's treaty with the Jews. 2Mace.13.18-26 | 1Mace.6.48-63Ὁ δὲ βασιλεὺς εἰληφὼς γεῦμα τῆς τῶν Ιουδαίων εὐτολμίας κατεπείρασεν διὰ μεθόδων τοὺς τόπους.
19He advanced against Beth-zur, a strong fortress of the Jews, was turned back, attacked again, and was defeated.  καὶ ἐπὶ Βαιθσουρα φρούριον ὀχυρὸν τῶν Ιουδαίων προσῆγεν, ἐτροποῦτο, προσέκρουεν, ἠλαττονοῦτο·
20Judas sent in to the garrison whatever was necessary.  τοῖς δὲ ἔνδον Ιουδας τὰ δέοντα εἰσέπεμψεν.
21But Rhodocus, a man from the ranks of the Jews, gave secret information to the enemy; he was sought for, caught, and put in prison.  προσήγγειλεν δὲ τὰ μυστήρια τοῖς πολεμίοις Ροδοκος ἐκ τῆς Ιουδαικῆς τάξεως· ἀνεζητήθη καὶ κατελήμφθη καὶ κατεκλείσθη.
22The king negotiated a second time with the people in Beth-zur, gave pledges, received theirs, withdrew, attacked Judas and his men, was defeated;  ἐδευτερολόγησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τοῖς ἐν Βαιθσουροις, δεξιὰν ἔδωκεν, ἔλαβεν, ἀπῄει, προσέβαλεν τοῖς περὶ τὸν Ιουδαν, ἥττων ἐγένετο,
23he got word that Philip, who had been left in charge of the government, had revolted in Antioch; he was dismayed, called in the Jews, yielded and swore to observe all their rights, settled with them and offered sacrifice, honoured the sanctuary and showed generosity to the holy place.  μετέλαβεν ἀπονενοῆσθαι τὸν Φίλιππον ἐν Ἀντιοχείᾳ τὸν ἀπολελειμμένον ἐπὶ τῶν πραγμάτων, συνεχύθη, τοὺς Ιουδαίους παρεκάλεσεν, ὑπετάγη καὶ ὤμοσεν ἐπὶ πᾶσι τοῖς δικαίοις, συνελύθη καὶ θυσίαν προσήγαγεν, ἐτίμησεν τὸν νεὼ καὶ τὸν τόπον ἐφιλανθρώπησεν·
24He received Maccabeus, left Hegemonides as governor from Ptolemais to Gerar,  καὶ τὸν Μακκαβαῖον ἀπεδέξατο, κατέλιπεν στρατηγὸν ἀπὸ Πτολεμαίδος ἕως τῶν Γερρηνῶν Ἡγεμονίδην.
25and went to Ptolemais. The people of Ptolemais were indignant over the treaty; in fact they were so angry that they wanted to annul its terms.  ἦλθεν εἰς Πτολεμαίδα· ἐδυσφόρουν περὶ τῶν συνθηκῶν οἱ Πτολεμαεῖς, ἐδείναζον γὰρ ὑπὲρ ὧν ἠθέλησαν ἀθετεῖν τὰς διαστάλσεις.
26Lysias took the public platform, made the best possible defence, convinced them, appeased them, gained their good will, and set out for Antioch. This is how the king's attack and withdrawal turned out.  προσῆλθεν ἐπὶ τὸ βῆμα Λυσίας, ἀπελογήσατο ἐνδεχομένως, συνέπεισεν, κατεπράυνεν, εὐμενεῖς ἐποίησεν, ἀνέζευξεν εἰς Ἀντιόχειαν. οὕτω τὰ τοῦ βασιλέως τῆς ἐφόδου καὶ τῆς ἀναζυγῆς ἐχώρησεν.

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.
