1

GRK Καὶ ἀνέστη Ἰούδας ὁ καλούμενος Μακκαβαῖος υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ.

KJV Then his son Judas, called Maccabeus, rose up in his stead.

2

GRK Καὶ ἐβοήθουν αὐτῷ πάντες οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ πάντες ὅσοι ἐκολλήθησαν τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπολέμουν τὸν πόλεμον Ἰσραὴλ μετʼ εὐφροσύνης.

KJV And all his brethren helped him, and so did all they that held with his father, and they fought with cheerfulness the battle of Israel.

3

GRK Καὶ ἐπλάτυνε δόξαν τῷ λαῷ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐνεδύσατο θώρακα ὡς γίγας, καὶ συνεζώσατο τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ τὰ πολεμικά· καὶ συνεστήσατο πολέμους σκεπάζων παρεμβολὴν ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ.

KJV So he gat his people great honour, and put on a breastplate as a giant, and girt his warlike harness about him, and he made battles, protecting the host with his sword.

4

GRK Καὶ ὡμοιώθη λέοντι ἐν τοῖς ἔργοις αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὡς σκύμνος ἐρευγόμενος εἰς θήραν.

KJV In his acts he was like a lion, and like a lion’s whelp roaring for his prey.

5

GRK Καὶ ἐδίωξεν ἀνόμους ἐξερευνῶν, καὶ τοὺς ταράσσοντας τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ ἐφλόγισε·

KJV For He pursued the wicked, and sought them out, and burnt up those that vexed his people.

6

GRK Καὶ συνεστάλησαν οἱ ἄνομοι ἀπὸ τοῦ φόβου αὐτοῦ, καὶ πάντες οἱ ἐργάται τῆς ἀνομίας συνεταράχθησαν, καὶ εὐοδώθη σωτηρία ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ.

KJV Wherefore the wicked shrunk for fear of him, and all the workers of iniquity were troubled, because salvation prospered in his hand.

7

GRK Καὶ ἐπίκρανε βασιλεῖς πολλούς, καὶ εὔφρανε τὸν Ἰακὼβ ἐν τοῖς ἔργοις αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος τὸ μνημόσυνον αὐτοῦ εἰς εὐλογίαν.

KJV He grieved also many kings, and made Jacob glad with his acts, and his memorial is blessed for ever.

8

GRK Καὶ διῆλθεν ἐν πόλεσιν Ἰούδα, καὶ ἐξωλόθρευσεν ἀσεβεῖς ἐξ αὐτῆς, καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν ὀργὴν ἀπὸ Ἰσραήλ.

KJV Moreover he went through the cities of Juda, destroying the ungodly out of them, and turning away wrath from Israel:

9

GRK Καὶ ὠνομάσθη ἕως ἐσχάτου τῆς γῆς, καὶ συνήγαγεν ἀπολλυμένους.

KJV So that he was renowned unto the utmost part of the earth, and he received unto him such as were ready to perish.

10

GRK Καὶ συνήγαγεν Ἀπολλώνιος ἔθνη, καὶ ἀπὸ Σαμαρείας δύναμιν μεγάλην, τοῦ πολεμῆσαι πρὸς Ἰσραήλ.

KJV Then Apollonius gathered the Gentiles together, and a great host out of Samaria, to fight against Israel.

11

GRK Καὶ ἔγνω Ἰούδας, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτῷ, καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτὸν, καὶ ἀπέκτεινεν αὐτόν· καὶ ἔπεσον τραυματίαι πολλοὶ, καὶ οἱ ἐπίλοιποι ἔφυγον.

KJV Which thing when Judas perceived, he went forth to meet him, and so he smote him, and slew him: many also fell down slain, but the rest fled.

12

GRK Καὶ ἔλαβε τὰ σκῦλα αὐτῶν, καὶ τὴν μάχαιραν Ἀπολλωνίου ἔλαβεν Ἰούδας, καὶ ἦν πολεμῶν ἐν αὐτῇ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας.

KJV Wherefore Judas took their spoils, and Apollonius’ sword also, and therewith he fought all his life long.

13

GRK Καὶ ἤκουσε Σήρων, ὁ ἄρχων τῆς δυνάμεως Συρίας, ὅτι ἤθροισεν Ἰούδας ἄθροισμα, καὶ ἐκκλησίαν πιστῶν μετʼ αὐτοῦ ἐκπορευομένων εἰς πόλεμον·

KJV Now when Seron, a prince of the army of Syria, heard say that Judas had gathered unto him a multitude and company of the faithful to go out with him to war;

14

GRK Καὶ εἶπε, ποιήσω ἐμαυτῷ ὄνομα καὶ δοξασθήσομαι ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ, καὶ πολεμήσω τὸν Ἰούδαν καὶ τοὺς σὺν αὐτῷ, τοὺς ἐξουδενοῦντας τὸν λόγον τοῦ βασιλέως.

KJV He said, I will get me a name and honour in the kingdom; for I will go fight with Judas and them that are with him, who despise the king’s commandment.

15

GRK Καὶ προσέθετο τοῦ ἀναβῆναι· καὶ ἀνέβη μετʼ αὐτοῦ παρεμβολὴ ἀσεβῶν ἰσχυρὰ βοηθῆσαι αὐτῷ, καὶ ποιῆσαι τὴν ἐκδίκησιν ἐν υἱοῖς Ἰσραήλ.

KJV So he made him ready to go up, and there went with him a mighty host of the ungodly to help him, and to be avenged of the children of Israel.

16

GRK Καὶ ἤγγισαν ἕως ἀναβάσεως Βαιθωρών· καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ἰούδας εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτῷ ὀλιγοστός.

KJV And when he came near to the going up of Bethhoron, Judas went forth to meet him with a small company:

17

GRK Ὡς δὲ ἴδον τὴν παρεμβολὴν ἐρχομένην εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτοῖς, εἶπον τῷ Ἰούδα, πῶς δυνησόμεθα ὀλιγοστοὶ ὄντες πολεμῆσαι πρὸς πλῆθος τοσοῦτον ἰσχυρόν; καὶ ἡμεῖς ἐκλελύμεθα ἀσιτοῦντες σήμερον.

KJV Who, when they saw the host coming to meet them, said unto Judas, How shall we be able, being so few, to fight against so great a multitude and so strong, seeing we are ready to faint with fasting all this day?

18

GRK Καὶ εἶπεν Ἰούδας, εὔκοπόν ἐστι συγκλεισθῆναι πολλοὺς ἐν χερσὶν ὀλίγων· καὶ οὐκ ἔστι διαφορὰ ἐναντίον τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ σώζειν ἐν πολλοῖς ἢ ἐν ὀλίγοις.

KJV Unto whom Judas answered, It is no hard matter for many to be shut up in the hands of a few; and with the God of heaven it is all one, to deliver with a great multitude, or a small company:

19

GRK Ὅτι οὐκ ἐν πλήθει δυνάμεως νίκη πολέμου ἐστὶν, ἀλλʼ ἢ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἡ ἰσχύς.

KJV For the victory of battle standeth not in the multitude of an host; but strength cometh from heaven.

20

GRK Αὐτοὶ ἔρχονται πρὸς ἡμᾶς ἐν πλήθει ὕβρεως καὶ ἀνομίας, τοῦ ἐξᾶραι ἡμᾶς καὶ τὰς γυναῖκας ἡμῶν, καὶ τὰ τέκνα ἡμῶν, τοῦ σκυλεῦσαι ἡμᾶς.

KJV They come against us in much pride and iniquity to destroy us, and our wives and children, and to spoil us:

21

GRK Ἡμεῖς δὲ πολεμοῦμεν περὶ τῶν ψυχῶν ἡμῶν καὶ τῶν νομίμων ἡμῶν.

KJV But we fight for our lives and our laws.

22

GRK Καὶ αὐτὸς συντρίψει αὐτοὺς πρὸ προσώπου ἡμῶν· ὑμεῖς δὲ μὴ φοβηθῆτε ἀπʼ αὐτῶν.

KJV Wherefore the Lord himself will overthrow them before our face: and as for you, be ye not afraid of them.

23

GRK Ὡς δὲ ἐπαύσατο λαλῶν, ἐνήλατο εἰς αὐτοὺς ἄφνω, καὶ συνετρίβη Σήρων καὶ ἡ παρεμβολὴ αὐτοῦ ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ.

KJV Now as soon as he had left off speaking, he leapt suddenly upon them, and so Seron and his host was overthrown before him.

24

GRK Καὶ ἐδίωκον αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ καταβάσει Βαιθωρῶν ἕως τοῦ πεδίου· καὶ ἔπεσον ἀπʼ αὐτῶν εἰς ἄνδρας ὀκτακοσίους· οἱ δὲ λοιποὶ ἔφυγον εἰς γῆν Φυλιστιείμ.

KJV And they pursued them from the going down of Bethhoron unto the plain, where were slain about eight hundred men of them; and the residue fled into the land of the Philistines.

25

GRK Καὶ ἤρξατο ὁ φόβος Ἰούδα καὶ τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἡ πτόησις ἐπιπίπτειν ἐπὶ τὰ ἔθνη τὰ κύκλῳ αὐτῶν.

KJV Then began the fear of Judas and his brethren, and an exceeding great dread, to fall upon the nations round about them:

26

GRK Καὶ ἤγγισεν ἕως τοῦ βασιλέως τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὑπὲρ τῶν παρατάξεων Ἰούδα ἐξηγεῖτο πᾶν ἔθνος.

KJV Insomuch as his fame came unto the king, and all nations talked of the battles of Judas.

27

GRK Ὡς δὲ ἤκουσεν Ἀντίοχος ὁ βασιλεὺς τοὺς λόγους τούτους, ὠργίσθη θυμῷ· καὶ ἀπέστειλε καὶ συνήγαγε τὰς δυνάμεις πάσας τῆς βασιλείας αὐτοῦ, παρεμβολὴν ἰσχυρὰν σφόδρα.

KJV Now when king Antiochus heard these things, he was full of indignation: wherefore he sent and gathered together all the forces of his realm, even a very strong army.

28

GRK Καὶ ἤνοιξε τὸ γαζοφυλάκιον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔδωκεν ὀψώνια ταῖς δυνάμεσιν αὐτοῦ εἰς ἐνιαυτόν· καὶ ἐνετείλατο εἶναι αὐτοὺς ἑτοίμους εἰς πᾶσαν χρείαν.

KJV He opened also his treasure, and gave his soldiers pay for a year, commanding them to be ready whensoever he should need them.

29

GRK Καὶ εἶδεν ὅτι ἐξέλιπε τὸ ἀργύριον ἀπὸ τῶν θησαυρῶν, καὶ οἱ φορολόγοι τῆς χώρας ὀλίγοι, χάριν τῆς διχοστασίας καὶ πληγῆς ἧς κατεσκεύασεν ἐν τῇ γῇ, τοῦ ἆραι τὰ νόμιμα ἃ ἦσαν ἀφʼ ἡμερῶν τῶν πρώτων.

KJV Nevertheless, when he saw that the money of his treasures failed and that the tributes in the country were small, because of the dissension and plague, which he had brought upon the land in taking away the laws which had been of old time;

30

GRK Καὶ εὐλαβήθη μὴ οὐκ ἔχῃ ὡς ἅπαξ καὶ δὶς εἰς τὰς δαπάνας καὶ τὰ δόματα ἃ ἐδίδου ἔμπροσθεν δαψιλεῖ χειρὶ, καὶ ἐπερίσσευσεν ὑπέρ τοὺς βασιλεῖς τοὺς ἔμπροσθεν.

KJV He feared that he should not be able to bear the charges any longer, nor to have such gifts to give so liberally as he did before: for he had abounded above the kings that were before him.

31

GRK Καὶ ἠπορεῖτο τῇ ψυχῇ αὐτοῦ σφόδρα, καὶ ἐβουλεύσατο τοῦ πορευθῆναι εἰς τὴν Περσίδα, καὶ λαβεῖν τοὺς φόρους τῶν χωρῶν, καὶ συναγαγεῖν ἀργύριον πολύ.

KJV Wherefore, being greatly perplexed in his mind, he determined to go into Persia, there to take the tributes of the countries, and to gather much money.

32

GRK Καὶ κατέλιπε Λυσίαν ἄνθρωπον ἔνδοξον καὶ ἀπὸ γένους τῆς βασιλείας, ἐπὶ τῶν πραγμάτων τοῦ βασιλέως ἀπὸ τοῦ ποταμοῦ Εὐφράτου ἕως τῶν ὁρίων Αἰγύπτου,

KJV So he left Lysias, a nobleman, and one of the blood royal, to oversee the affairs of the king from the river Euphrates unto the borders of Egypt:

33

GRK καὶ τρέφειν Ἀντίοχον τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ ἕως τοῦ ἐπιστρέψαι αὐτόν.

KJV And to bring up his son Antiochus, until he came again.

34

GRK Καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτῷ τὰς ἡμίσεις τῶν δυνάμεων καὶ τοὺς ἐλέφαντας· καὶ ἐνετείλατο αὐτῷ περὶ πάντων ὧν ἐβούλετο, καὶ περὶ τῶν κατοικούντων τὴν Ἰουδαίαν καὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ,

KJV Moreover he delivered unto him the half of his forces, and the elephants, and gave him charge of all things that he would have done, as also concerning them that dwelt in Juda and Jerusalem:

35

GRK ἀποστεῖλαι ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς δύναμιν, τοῦ ἐκτρίψαι καὶ ἐξᾶραι τὴν ἰσχὺν Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ τὸ κατάλειμμα Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ ἆραι τὸ μνημόσυνον αὐτῶν ἀπὸ τοῦ τόπου,

KJV To wit, that he should send an army against them, to destroy and root out the strength of Israel, and the remnant of Jerusalem, and to take away their memorial from that place;

36

GRK καὶ κατοικῆσαι υἱοὺς ἀλλογενεῖς ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ὁρίοις αὐτῶν, καὶ κατακληροδοτῆσαι τὴν γῆν αὐτῶν.

KJV And that he should place strangers in all their quarters, and divide their land by lot.

37

GRK Καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς παρέλαβε τὰς ἡμίσεις τῶν δυνάμεων τὰς καταλειφθείσας, καὶ ἀπῇρεν ἀπὸ Ἀντιοχείας ἀπὸ πόλεως βασιλείας αὐτοῦ, ἔτους ἑβδόμου καὶ τεσσαρακοστοῦ καὶ ἑκατοστοῦ· καὶ διεπέρασε τὸν Εὐφράτην ποταμὸν, καὶ διεπορεύετο τὰς ἐπάνω χώρας.

KJV So the king took the half of the forces that remained, and departed from Antioch, his royal city, the hundred forty and seventh year; and having passed the river Euphrates, he went through the high countries.

38

GRK Καὶ ἐπέλεξε Λυσίας Πτολεμαῖον τὸν Δορυμένους, καὶ Νικάνορα, καὶ Γοργίαν, ἄνδρας δυνατοὺς τῶν φίλων τοῦ βασιλέως.

KJV Then Lysias chose Ptolemee the son of Dorymenes, Nicanor, and Gorgias, mighty men of the king’s friends:

39

GRK Καὶ ἀπέστειλε μετʼ αὐτῶν τεσσαράκοντα χιλιάδας ἀνδρῶν καὶ ἑπτακισχιλίαν ἵππον, τοῦ ἐλθεῖν εἰς γῆν Ἰούδα, καὶ καταφθεῖραι αὐτὴν, κατὰ τὸν λόγον τοῦ βασιλέως.

KJV And with them he sent forty thousand footmen, and seven thousand horsemen, to go into the land of Juda, and to destroy it, as the king commanded.

40

GRK Καὶ ἀπῇραν σὺν πάσῃ τῇ δυνάμει αὐτῶν, καὶ ἦλθον, καὶ παρενέβαλον πλησίον Ἐμμαοὺμ ἐν τῇ γῇ τῇ πεδινῇ.

KJV So they went forth with all their power, and came and pitched by Emmaus in the plain country.

41

GRK Καὶ ἤκουσαν οἱ ἔμποροι τῆς χώρας τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῶν, καὶ ἔλαβον ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον πολὺ σφόδρα καὶ παῖδας, καὶ ἦλθον εἰς τὴν παρεμβολὴν τοῦ λαβεῖν τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἰσραὴλ εἰς παῖδας· καὶ προσετέθησαν πρὸς αὐτοὺς δύναμις Συρίας καὶ γῆς ἀλλοφύλων.

KJV And the merchants of the country, hearing the fame of them, took silver and gold very much, with servants, and came into the camp to buy the children of Israel for slaves: a power also of Syria and of the land of the Philistines joined themselves unto them.

42

GRK Καὶ εἶδεν Ἰούδας καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ ὅτι ἐπληθύνθη τὰ κακὰ, καὶ αἱ δυνάμεις παρεμβάλλουσιν ἐν τοῖς ὁρίοις αὐτῶν· καὶ ἐπέγνωσαν τοὺς λόγους τοῦ βασιλέως οὓς ἐνετείλατο ποιῆσαι τῷ λαῷ εἰς ἀπώλειαν καὶ συντέλειαν·

KJV Now when Judas and his brethren saw that miseries were multiplied, and that the forces did encamp themselves in their borders: for they knew how the king had given commandment to destroy the people, and utterly abolish them;

43

GRK καὶ εἶπεν ἕκαστος πρὸς τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ, ἀναστήσωμεν τὴν καθαίρεσιν τοῦ λαοῦ ἡμῶν, καὶ πολεμήσωμεν περὶ τοῦ λαοῦ ἡμῶν καὶ τῶν ἁγίων.

KJV They said one to another, Let us restore the decayed fortune of our people, and let us fight for our people and the sanctuary.

44

GRK Καὶ συνηθροίσθη ἡ συναγωγὴ τοῦ εἶναι ἑτοίμους εἰς πόλεμον, καὶ τοῦ προσεύξασθαι, καὶ αἰτῆσαι ἔλεον καὶ οἰκτιρμούς.

KJV Then was the congregation gathered together, that they might be ready for battle, and that they might pray, and ask mercy and compassion.

45

GRK Καὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἦν ἀοίκητος ὡς ἔρημος, οὐκ ἦν ὁ εἰσπορευόμενος καὶ ἐκπορευόμενος ἐκ τῶν γεννημάτων αὐτῆς· καὶ τὸ ἁγίασμα καταπατούμενον, καὶ υἱοὶ ἀλλογενῶν ἐν τῇ ἄκρᾳ, κατάλυμα τοῖς ἔθνεσι· καὶ ἐξῄρθη τέρψις ἐξ Ἰακὼβ, καὶ ἐξέλιπεν αὐλὸς καὶ κινύρα.

KJV Now Jerusalem lay void as a wilderness, there was none of her children that went in or out: the sanctuary also was trodden down, and aliens kept the strong hold; the heathen had their habitation in that place; and joy was taken from Jacob, and the pipe with the harp ceased.

46

GRK Καὶ συνήχθησαν, καὶ ἤλθοσαν εἰς Μασσηφὰ κατέναντι Ἱερουσαλὴμ, ὅτι τόπος προσευχῆς εἰς Μασσηφὰ τὸ πρότερον τῷ Ἰσραήλ.

KJV Wherefore the Israelites assembled themselves together, and came to Maspha, over against Jerusalem; for in Maspha was the place where they prayed aforetime in Israel.

47

GRK Καὶ ἐνήστευσαν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, καὶ περιεβάλοντο σάκκους καὶ σποδὸν ἐπὶ τὰς κεφαλὰς αὐτῶν, καὶ διέῤῥηξαν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτῶν.

KJV Then they fasted that day, and put on sackcloth, and cast ashes upon their heads, and rent their clothes,

48

GRK Καὶ ἐξεπέτασαν τὸ βιβλίον τοῦ νόμου, περὶ ὧν ἐξηρεύνων τὰ ἔθνη τὰ ὁμοιώματα τῶν εἰδώλων αὐτῶν.

KJV And laid open the book of the law, wherein the heathen had sought to paint the likeness of their images.

49

GRK Καὶ ἤνεγκαν τὰ ἱμάτια τῆς ἱερωσύνης, καὶ τὰ πρωτογεννήματα, καὶ τὰς δεκάτας· καὶ ἤγειραν τοὺς Ναζαραίους, οἳ ἐπλήρωσαν τὰς ἡμέρας.

KJV They brought also the priests’ garments, and the firstfruits, and the tithes: and the Nazarites they stirred up, who had accomplished their days.

50

GRK Καὶ ἐβόησαν φωνῇ εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν, λέγοντες, τί ποιήσωμεν τούτοις, καὶ ποῦ αὐτοὺς ἀπαγάγωμεν;

KJV Then cried they with a loud voice toward heaven, saying, What shall we do with these, and whither shall we carry them away?

51

GRK Καὶ τὰ ἅγιά σου καταπεπάτηται, καὶ βεβήλωται· καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς σου ἐν πένθει καὶ ταπεινώσει.

KJV For thy sanctuary is trodden down and profaned, and thy priests are in heaviness, and brought low.

52

GRK Καὶ ἰδοὺ τὰ ἔθνη συνῆκται ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς τοῦ ἐξᾶραι ἡμᾶς· σὺ οἶδας ἃ λογίζονται ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς.

KJV And lo, the heathen are assembled together against us to destroy us: what things they imagine against us, thou knowest.

53

GRK Πῶς δυνησόμεθα ὑποστῆναι κατὰ πρόσωπον αὐτῶν, ἐὰν μὴ σὺ βοηθήσῃς ἡμῖν;

KJV How shall we be able to stand against them, except thou, O God, be our help?

54

GRK Καὶ ἐσάλπισαν ταῖς σάλπιγξι, καὶ ἐβόησαν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ.

KJV Then sounded they with trumpets, and cried with a loud voice.

55

GRK Καὶ μετὰ τοῦτο κατέστησεν Ἰούδας ἡγουμένους τοῦ λαοῦ, χιλιάρχους, καὶ ἑκατοντάρχους, καὶ πεντηκοντάρχους, καὶ δεκάρχους.

KJV And after this Judas ordained captains over the people, even captains over thousands, and over hundreds, and over fifties, and over tens.

56

GRK Καὶ εἶπον τοῖς οἰκοδομοῦσιν οἰκίας, καὶ μνηστευομένους γυναῖκας, καὶ φυτεύουσιν ἀμπελῶνας, καὶ δειλοῖς, ἀποστρέφειν ἕκαστον εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ, κατὰ τὸν νόμον.

KJV But as for such as were building houses, or had betrothed wives, or were planting vineyards, or were fearful, those he commanded that they should return, every man to his own house, according to the law.

57

GRK Καὶ ἀπῇρεν ἡ παρεμβολὴ, καὶ παρενέβαλε κατὰ Νότον Ἐμμαούμ.

KJV So the camp removed, and pitched upon the south side of Emmaus.

58

GRK Καὶ εἶπεν Ἰούδας, περιζώσασθε, καὶ γίνεσθε εἰς υἱοὺς δυνατοὺς, καὶ γίνεσθε ἕτοιμοι εἰς τοπρωῒ τοῦ πολεμῆσαι ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι τούτοις, τοῖς ἐπισυνηγμένοις ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς ἐξᾶραι ἡμᾶς καὶ τὰ ἅγια ἡμῶν.

KJV And Judas said, arm yourselves, and be valiant men, and see that ye be in readiness against the morning, that ye may fight with these nations, that are assembled together against us to destroy us and our sanctuary:

59

GRK Ὅτι κρεῖσσον ἡμᾶς ἀποθανεῖν ἐν τῷ πολέμῳ, ἢ ἐπιδεῖν ἐπὶ τὰ κακὰ τοῦ ἔθνους ἡμῶν καὶ τῶν ἁγίων·

KJV For it is better for us to die in battle, than to behold the calamities of our people and our sanctuary.

60

GRK Ὡς δʼ ἂν ᾖ θέλημα ἐν οὐρανῷ, οὕτω ποιήσει.

KJV Nevertheless, as the will of God is in heaven, so let him do.
