| 1 καὶ ἀνὴρ Ισραηλ ὤμοσεν ἐν Μασσηφα λέγων ἀνὴρ ἐξ ἡμῶν οὐ δώσει τὴν θυγατέρα αὐτοῦ τῷ Βενιαμιν εἰς γυναῖκα 2 καὶ παρεγένοντο πᾶς ὁ λαὸς εἰς Μασσηφα καὶ Βαιθηλ καὶ ἐκάθισαν ἐκεῖ ἕως ἑσπέρας ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ἐπῆραν τὴν φωνὴν αὐτῶν καὶ ἔκλαυσαν κλαυθμὸν μέγαν 3 καὶ εἶπαν ἵνα τί κύριε ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ ἐγενήθη αὕτη ἐν τῷ Ισραηλ τοῦ ἐπισκεπῆναι σήμερον ἐν τῷ Ισραηλ φυλὴν μίαν 4 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῇ ἐπαύριον καὶ ὤρθρισεν ὁ λαὸς καὶ ᾠκοδόμησαν ἐκεῖ θυσιαστήριον καὶ ἀνήνεγκαν ὁλοκαυτώματα σωτηρίου 5 καὶ εἶπαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ τίς ὁ μὴ ἀναβὰς ἐν τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ ἐκ πασῶν φυλῶν Ισραηλ πρὸς κύριον ὅτι ὅρκος μέγας ἦν τῷ μὴ ἀναβάντι πρὸς κύριον εἰς Μασσηφα λέγοντες θανάτῳ ἀποθανεῖται 6 καὶ παρεκλήθησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ περὶ Βενιαμιν τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτῶν καὶ εἶπαν ἀφῄρηται σήμερον φυλὴ μία ἐξ Ισραηλ 7 τί ποιήσωμεν αὐτοῖς τοῖς ὑπολειφθεῖσιν εἰς γυναῖκας καὶ ἡμεῖς ὠμόσαμεν ἐν κυρίῳ τοῦ μὴ δοῦναι αὐτοῖς ἀπὸ τῶν θυγατέρων ἡμῶν εἰς γυναῖκας 8 καὶ εἶπαν τίς μία τῶν φυλῶν Ισραηλ ἥτις οὐκ ἀνέβη πρὸς κύριον εἰς Μασσηφα καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐκ ἦλθεν ἀνὴρ εἰς τὴν παρεμβολὴν ἀπὸ Ιαβις Γαλααδ εἰς τὴν ἐκκλησίαν 9 καὶ ἐπεσκέπη ὁ λαός καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκεῖ ἀνὴρ ἀπὸ τῶν κατοικούντων Ιαβις Γαλααδ 10 καὶ ἀπέστειλαν ἐκεῖ ἡ συναγωγὴ δώδεκα χιλιάδας ἀνδρῶν ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν τῆς δυνάμεως καὶ ἐνετείλαντο αὐτοῖς λέγοντες πορεύθητε καὶ πατάξατε πάντας τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Ιαβις Γαλααδ ἐν στόματι ῥομφαίας καὶ τὰς γυναῖκας καὶ τὸν λαόν 11 καὶ οὗτος ὁ λόγος ὃν ποιήσετε πᾶν ἀρσενικὸν καὶ πᾶσαν γυναῖκα γινώσκουσαν κοίτην ἄρσενος ἀναθεματιεῖτε 12 καὶ εὗρον ἀπὸ τῶν κατοικούντων Ιαβις Γαλααδ τετρακοσίας νεάνιδας παρθένους αἳ οὐκ ἔγνωσαν ἄνδρα εἰς κοίτην ἄρσενος καὶ ἦγον αὐτὰς εἰς τὴν παρεμβολὴν εἰς Σηλω ἥ ἐστιν ἐν γῇ Χανααν 13 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν πᾶσα ἡ συναγωγὴ καὶ ἐλάλησαν πρὸς Βενιαμιν τὸν ἐν τῇ πέτρᾳ Ρεμμων καὶ ἐκάλεσαν αὐτοὺς εἰς εἰρήνην 14 καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν Βενιαμιν πρὸς τοὺς υἱοὺς Ισραηλ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ καὶ ἔδωκαν αὐτοῖς τὰς γυναῖκας αἵτινες ἦσαν ἐκ τῶν γυναικῶν Ιαβις Γαλααδ καὶ ἤρεσεν αὐτοῖς οὕτως 15 καὶ ὁ λαὸς παρεκλήθη τῷ Βενιαμιν ὅτι ἐποίησεν κύριος διακοπὴν ἐν ταῖς φυλαῖς Ισραηλ |

1 Juraverunt quoque filii Israël in Maspha, et dixerunt : Nullus nostrum dabit filiis Benjamin de filiabus suis uxorem. 2 Veneruntque omnes ad domum Dei in Silo, et in conspectu ejus sedentes usque ad vesperam, levaverunt vocem, et magno ululatu cœperunt flere, dicentes: 3 Quare, Domine Deus Israël, factum est hoc malum in populo tuo, ut hodie una tribus auferretur ex nobis? 4 Altera autem die diluculo consurgentes, exstruxerunt altare : obtuleruntque ibi holocausta, et pacificas victimas, et dixerunt: 5 Quis non ascendit in exercitu Domini de universis tribubus Israël? grandi enim juramento se constrinxerant, cum essent in Maspha, interfici eos qui defuissent. 6 Ductique pœnitentia filii Israël super fratre suo Benjamin, cœperunt dicere : Ablata est tribus una de Israël: 7 unde uxores accipient? omnes enim in commune juravimus, non daturos nos his filias nostras. 8 Idcirco dixerunt : Quis est de universis tribubus Israël, qui non ascendit ad Dominum in Maspha? Et ecce inventi sunt habitatores Jabes Galaad in illo exercitu non fuisse. 9 (Eo quoque tempore cum essent in Silo, nullus ex eis ibi repertus est.) 10 Miserunt itaque decem millia viros robustissimos, et præceperunt eis : Ite, et percutite habitatores Jabes Galaad in ore gladii, tam uxores quam parvulos eorum. 11 Et hoc erit quod observare debebitis : omne generis masculini, et mulieres quæ cognoverunt viros, interficite; virgines autem reservate. 12 Inventæque sunt de Jabes Galaad quadringentæ virgines, quæ nescierunt viri thorum : et adduxerunt eas ad castra in Silo, in terram Chanaan. 13 Miseruntque nuntios ad filios Benjamin, qui erant in petra Remmon, et præceperunt eis, ut eos susciperent in pace. 14 Veneruntque filii Benjamin in illo tempore, et datæ sunt eis uxores de filiabus Jabes Galaad : alias autem non repererunt, quas simili modo traderent. 15 Universusque Israël valde doluit, et egit pœnitentiam super interfectione unius tribus ex Israël. |
| 16 καὶ εἶπαν οἱ πρεσβύτεροι τῆς συναγωγῆς τί ποιήσωμεν τοῖς ἐπιλοίποις εἰς γυναῖκας ὅτι ἠφάνισται ἐκ τοῦ Βενιαμιν γυνή 17 καὶ εἶπαν κληρονομία διασεσῳσμένη τῷ Βενιαμιν καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐξαλειφθῇ φυλὴ ἐξ Ισραηλ 18 καὶ ἡμεῖς οὐ δυνησόμεθα δοῦναι αὐτοῖς γυναῖκας ἀπὸ τῶν θυγατέρων ἡμῶν ὅτι ὠμόσαμεν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ λέγοντες ἐπικατάρατος ὁ διδοὺς γυναῖκα τῷ Βενιαμιν 19 καὶ εἶπαν ἑορτὴ τῷ κυρίῳ ἐν Σηλω ἀφ' ἡμερῶν εἰς ἡμέρας ἥ ἐστιν ἀπὸ βορρᾶ τῆς Βαιθηλ κατ' ἀνατολὰς ἡλίου ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ τῇ ἀναβαινούσῃ ἐκ Βαιθηλ εἰς Σικιμα καὶ ἀπὸ νότου τοῦ Λιβάνου τῆς Λεβωνα 20 καὶ ἐνετείλαντο τοῖς υἱοῖς Βενιαμιν λέγοντες διέλθατε καὶ ἐνεδρεύσατε ἐν τοῖς ἀμπελῶσιν 21 καὶ ὄψεσθε καὶ ἰδοὺ ὡς ἂν ἐξέλθωσιν αἱ θυγατέρες τῶν κατοικούντων Σηλω ἐν Σηλω χορεῦσαι ἐν χοροῖς καὶ ἐξελεύσεσθε ἀπὸ τῶν ἀμπελώνων καὶ ἁρπάσετε ἀνὴρ ἑαυτῷ γυναῖκα ἀπὸ τῶν θυγατέρων Σηλω καὶ ἀπελεύσεσθε εἰς γῆν Βενιαμιν 22 καὶ ἔσται ὅταν ἔλθωσιν οἱ πατέρες αὐτῶν ἢ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτῶν κρίνεσθαι πρὸς ὑμᾶς καὶ ἐροῦμεν πρὸς αὐτούς ἐλεήσατε αὐτούς ὅτι οὐκ ἔλαβον ἀνὴρ γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ πολέμῳ οὐ γὰρ ὑμεῖς δεδώκατε αὐτοῖς κατὰ τὸν καιρὸν ἐπλημμελήσατε 23 καὶ ἐποίησαν οὕτως οἱ υἱοὶ Βενιαμιν καὶ ἔλαβον γυναῖκας κατὰ τὸν ἀριθμὸν αὐτῶν ἀπὸ τῶν χορευουσῶν ἃς διήρπασαν καὶ ἀπῆλθον καὶ ἀπέστρεψαν ἐπὶ τὴν κληρονομίαν αὐτῶν καὶ ᾠκοδόμησαν ἑαυτοῖς πόλεις καὶ κατῴκησαν ἐν αὐταῖς 24 καὶ περιεπάτησαν ἐκεῖθεν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ ἀνὴρ εἰς τὴν φυλὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ εἰς τὴν συγγένειαν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπῆλθον ἐκεῖθεν ἀνὴρ εἰς τὴν κληρονομίαν αὐτοῦ 25 ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις οὐκ ἦν βασιλεὺς ἐν Ισραηλ ἀνὴρ ἕκαστος τὸ εὐθὲς ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτοῦ ἐποίει | 16 And the ancients said: What shall we do with the rest, that have not received wives? For all the women in Benjamin are dead. 17 And we must use all care, and provide with great diligence, that one tribe be not destroyed out of Israel. 18 For as to our own daughters we cannot give them, being bound with an oath and a curse, whereby we said: Cursed be he that shall give Benjamin any of his daughters to wife. 19 So they took counsel, and said: Behold, there is a yearly solemnity of the Lord in Silo, which is situate on the north of the city of Bethel, and on the east side of the way, that goes from Bethel to Sichem, and on the south of the town of Lebona. 20 And they commanded the children of Benjamin and said: Go, and lie hid in the vineyards, 21 and when you shall see the daughters of Silo come out, as the custom is, to dance, come suddenly out of the vineyards, and catch every man his wife among them, and go into the land of Benjamin. 22 And when their fathers and their brethren shall come, and shall begin to complain against you, and to chide, we will say to them: Have pity on them: for they took them not away as by the right of war or conquest, but when they asked to have them, you gave them not, and the fault was committed on your part. 23 And the children of Benjamin did as they had been commanded: and, according to their number, they carried off for themselves every man his wife of them that were dancing: and they went into their possession, and built up their cities, and dwelt in them. 24 The children of Israel also returned by their tribes, and families, to their dwellings. In those days there was no king in Israel: but every one did that which seemed right to himself. 25 | 16 Dixeruntque majores natu : Quid faciemus reliquis, qui non acceperunt uxores? omnes in Benjamin feminæ conciderunt, 17 et magna nobis cura, ingentique studio providendum est, ne una tribus deleatur ex Israël. 18 Filias enim nostras eis dare non possumus, constricti juramento et maledictione qua diximus : Maledictus qui dederit de filiabus suis uxorem Benjamin. 19 Ceperuntque consilium, atque dixerunt : Ecce solemnitas Domini est in Silo anniversaria, quæ sita est ad septentrionem urbis Bethel, et ad orientalem plagam viæ, quæ de Bethel tendit ad Sichimam, et ad meridiem oppidi Lebona. 20 Præceperuntque filiis Benjamin, atque dixerunt : Ite, ad latitate in vineis. 21 Cumque videritis filias Silo ad ducendos choros ex more procedere, exite repente de vineis, et rapite ex eis singuli uxores singulas, et pergite in terram Benjamin. 22 Cumque venerint patres earum, ac fratres, et adversum vos queri cœperint atque jurgari, dicemus eis : Miseremini eorum : non enim rapuerunt eas jure bellantium atque victorum : sed rogantibus ut acciperent, non dedistis, et a vestra parte peccatum est. 23 Feceruntque filii Benjamin ut sibi fuerat imperatum : et juxta numerum suum, rapuerunt sibi de his quæ ducebant choros, uxores singulas : abieruntque in possessionem suam ædificantes urbes, et habitantes in eis. 24 Filii quoque Israël reversi sunt per tribus et familias in tabernacula sua. In diebus illis non erat rex in Israël : sed unusquisque quod sibi rectum videbatur, hoc faciebat. 25 |
