My LORD’s BibleTestament of Issachar 2
1KNOW ye therefore, my children, that in the last times your sons will forsake singleness, and will cleave unto insatiable desire.
βι ἘΓινώσκετε οὖνϊ, μου, ὅτι ἐν ἐσχάτοις καιροῖς καταλείψουσιν υἱοὶ ὑμῶν τὴν ἁπλότητα δάσ, Γκαὶ κολληθήσονται τῇ ἀπληστίᾳ, ἀφέντες τὴν ἀκακίανδ προσπελάσουσιδ τῇ πανουργίᾳ Ἷ, καὶ καταλιμπάνοντες ἐντολὰς Κυρίου κολληθήσονται τῷ Βελίαρ,
2And leaving guilelessness, will draw near to malice; and forsaking the commandments of the Lord, they will cleave unto Beliar.
3And leaving husbandry, they will follow after their own wicked devices, and they shall be dispersed among the Gentiles, and shall serve their enemies.
Καὶ τὸ γεωργεῖν ν᾿ ἐξακολουθήσουσι τοῖς Γπονηροῖς διαβουλίοις αὐτῶν καὶ διασπαρήσονται ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν καὶ δουλεύσουσιν τοῖς ἐχθροῖς αὐτῶν,
4And do you therefore give these commands to your children, that, if they sin, they may the more quickly return to the Lord; For He is merciful, and will deliver them, even to bring them back into their land.
Καὶ ὑμεῖς οὖν εἴπατε ταῦτα ὃ τοῖς τέκνοις ὑμῶν, ὅπως, ἐὰν ἁμάρτωσιδ, τάχιον Ἶ ἐπιστρέψωσι πρὸς τὸν Κύριον,
5Behold, therefore, as ye see, I am a hundred and twenty-six years old and am not conscious of committing any sin.
6Except my wife I have not known any woman. I never committed fornication by the uplifting of my eyes.
Ὅτι ἐλεήμων ἐστὶ καὶ ἐξελεῖται αὐτοὺς Ἔτοῦ ἐπιστρέαὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν γῆν αὐτῶν.
7I drank not wine, to be led astray thereby;
ἘΓΙδοὺ οὖν ὡς ὁρᾶτε, Ἑκατὸν εἰκοσιδύα ἑκατὸν εἴκοσι καὶ ἐξ ἐτῶν ἐτῶν εἰμὶ ἐγώ, καὶ οὐκ ἔγνων ὑπάρχωϊ, καὶ οὐκ Ἐἔγνων ἐν ἐμοὶ ἁμαρτίαν θάναἐμοὶ ἁμαρτίαν γυναικὸς τὸν.
8I coveted not any desirable thing that was my neighbour's.
9Guile arose not in my heart;
Πλὴν τῆς γυναικός πλὴν τῆς συμβίου μου, μου οὐκ ἔγνων ἄλλην Οὐκ ἐπόρνευσαϑ ἐν μετεωρισμῷ ὀφθαλμῶν
10A lie passed not through my lips.
Οἶνον ἀποπλάνησιν οὐκ ἔπιον Γπᾶν ἐπιθύμημα τοῦ πλησίον οὐκ ἐπεθύμησα Ἴ,
11If any man were in distress I joined my sighs with his,
12And I shared my bread with the poor.
Δόλος οὐκ ἐγένετο καρδίᾳ μου ψεῦδος οὐκ ἀνῆλθε διὰ τῶν χειλέων μου,
13I wrought godliness, all my days I kept truth.
᾿Παντὶ ἀνθρώπῳ ὀδυνομένῳ συνεστέναξα καὶ πτωχῷ μετέδωκα ἄρτον μουΐ, Εὐσέβειαν ἐποίησα ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ἡμέραις οὐ ἢ. οι βέβρωκα νος Τὸν Κύριον ἠγάπησα
14I loved the Lord; likewise also every man with all my heart.
15So do you also these things, my children, and every spirit of Beliar shall flee from you, and no deed of wicked men shall rule over you;
Τὸν Κύριον ἠγάπησα Ἐὲν ὅριον οὐκ καὶ πάντα ἄνθρωπον πάσῃ ἰσχύι ὁμοίως ἐξ ὅλης τῆς καὶ πάντα ἄνθρωπον ἠγάπησα μου Ἐὐπὲρ τὰ τέκνα μου. καὶ πᾶν πνεῦμα τοῦ Βελίαρ φεύξεται ἀφ᾽ ὑμῶν καὶ πᾶσα πρᾶξις πονηρῶν ἀνθρώπων οὗ κυριεύσει ὑμῶν καὶ πᾶν ἄγριον θηρίον ὃ καταδουλώσετε β-ἃ ἔχοντες μεθ᾽ ὑμῶν τὸν θεὸν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ τῆς γῆς Ακοΐς Ἐσυμπορευόμενον τοῖς ἀνθρώποις ἐν ἁπλότητι καρδίας ταῦτα εἰπὼν ἐνετείλατο τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ ὅπως τοῖς δόλος οὐκ ἀνῆλθε διὰ τῶν χειλέων καὶ οὐκ ἐψευσάμην τῷ πάντα ἄγρια θηρία, πάντα ἄγριον θῆρα θηρίον θηρίον θῆρα ὃ. εἰπὼν Ἰσαχὰρ τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ ἐνετείλατο αὐτοῖς, αὐτὸν
16And every wild beast shall ye subdue, since you have with you the God of heaven and earth and walk with men in singleness of heart.
Σν Χεβρών κακεῖδε θάψωσιν αὐτὸν τς Γμετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ Ἐ Καὶ ἐξέτεινε
17And having said these things, he commanded his sons that they should carry him up to Hebron, and bury him there in the cave with his fathers.
18And he stretched out his feet and died, at a good old age; with every limb sound, and with strength unabated, he slept the eternal sleep.
Καὶ ἐκτείνας τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦϑ ἐκαιτοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ πόδας αὐτοῦ ὕπνωμήθη ἐν γήρει καλῷ καὶ ἀπέθανε ἐν σεν ἐν Ἐγῇ Ῥαὕπνον αἰώνων. γήρει καλῷ, πᾶν Ἐὐγιὴς ὃν μέλος ἔχων ὑγιές πάντα μέλη αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἰσχύων ὕπνωσεν καὶ ἐν ἰσχύι ὕπνωὕπνον αἰώνιον. σεν ὕπνον αἰώνιον
