My LORD’s BibleTestament of Levi 5
1AND whereas ye have heard concerning the seventy weeks, hear also concerning the priesthood. For in each jubilee there shall be a priesthood.
ἐν αἰστει ἘΚαὶ ὅτι ἠκούσατεϊ περὶ τῶν ἑβδομήκοντα ἐβδο᾿Ξ μάδων
2And in the first jubilee, the first who is anointed to the priesthood shall be great, and shall speak to God as to a father.
3And his priesthood shall be perfect with the Lord, and in the day of his gladness shall he arise for the salvation of the world.
ἀκούσατε περὶ τῆς ἱερωσύνης.
4In the second jubilee, he that is anointed shall be conceived in the sorrow of beloved ones; and his priesthood shall be honoured and shall be glorified by all.
Καθ᾿ ἕκαστον γὰρ ἰωβηλαῖονϑ ἔσται ἐδῶσυνη.. Καὶϑ ἐν τῷϑ πρώτῳ ἰωβηλαίῳ ὁ Ἐχριόμενος πρῶτος εἷς ἱερωσύνην ἔσται μέγας καὶ λαλεῖ. λαλήσει Θεῷ ὡς πάτο καὶ ἣ ἱερωσύνη αὐτοῦ πλήρης μετὰ κυρίαι; καὶ ἐν ἡμέραις χαρᾶς αὐτοῦδ ἐπὶ σωτηρίᾳϊδ κόσμου ἀναστήσεται
5And the third priest shall he taken hold of by sorrow.
6And the fourth shall be in pain, because unrighteousness shall gather itself against him exceedingly, and all Israel shall hate each one his neighbour.
Ἐν τῷ δευτέρῳ ἰωβηλαίῳ χριόμενος ἐν πένθει ἀγαπητοῦ συλληφθήσεται᾽ ἐν ἔσται ἡ ἱερωσύνη αὐτοῦ τιμία καὶ παρὰ πάντων ᾿ δοξασθήσεται.
7The fifth shall be taken hold of by darkness. Likewise also the sixth and the seventh.
Ὁ δὲ τρίτος ἱερεὺς λύπῃ παραληφθήσεται ὁ τέταρτος ἐν ὀδύναις ἔσται’ ὅτι προσθήσειϑ αὐτῷδι Ἑὴἡ ἀδικίαδ πλῆθος καὶ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ μισήσουσιν ἕκαστος ὅ τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ.
8And in the seventh shall, be such pollution as I cannot express before men, for they shall know it who do these things.
9Therefore shall they be taken captive and become a prey, and their land and their substance shall be destroyed.
Ὁ πέμπτος ἐν σκότειδ παραληφθήσεταιϑ, Ωσαύτωςδ καὶ ὁ ἕκτος καὶ ὁ ἔβδομος. δὲ τῷ ἑβδόμῳ ἔσται μιασμόςι, ὃν οὐ δύναμαι εἰπεῖν ἐνώπιον ἀνθρώπων ὅτι αὐτοὶ γνώσονται οἱ ποιοῦντες αὐτά.
10And in the fifth week they shall return to their desolate country, and shall renew the house of the Lord.
Διὰ τοῦτο ἐν αἰχμαλωσίᾳ καὶ ἐν προνομῇ ἔσονται καὶ ἡ γῆ αὐτῶν καὶ ἡ ὕπαρξις ἀφανισθήσεται ἐν τῇ πέμπτῃ Ἶ ἑβδομάδι γῆν ἐρημώσεως αὐτῶν, ἀνακαινοποιήσουσιν οἶκον κυρίουδϑ,
11And in the seventh week shall become priests, who are idolaters, adulterers, lovers of money, proud, lawless, lascivious, abusers of children and beasts.
12And after their punishment shall have come from the Lord, the priesthood shall fail.
Ἐν δὲ τῷ ΤἝβδομηκοστῷ ἑβδόμῳτι ἥξουσιν ἱερεῖς εἰδωλολατροῦντες, φιλάργυροιδ ὑπερήφανοι, ἄνομοι, κυρίον, Ἐἐκλείψει ἡ ἱερωσύνη
13Then shall the Lord raise up a new priest.
Καὶδ τότε ἐγερεῖ κύριος ἱερέα καινόνδ, ᾿ς ᾧιδ πάντες οὗ λόγοι ἀποκαλυφθήσονταιϑ, καὶ αὐτὸς ᾿ποιήσει κρίσιν ἀληθείας ἐπὶ τῆς Ἐν πλήθει ἡμερῶν.
14And to him all the words of the Lord shall be revealed; and he shall execute a righteous judgement upon the earth for a multitude of days.
15And his star shall arise in heaven as of a king.
Καὶ ἀνατελεῖ ἄστρον αὐτοῦ ἐν ρα ἃ ὡς βασιλέως φωτίζων φῶς γνώσεως ἡλίῳ ἡμέρα Βὶ καὶ μεγαλυνθήσεται ἐν τῇ οἰκουμένῃ οἰκουμένῃ Οὗτος ἀναλάμψει Ἐὼς ἥλιος ἐν τῇ γῇ, ἀναλήκαὶ ἐξαρεῖ πᾶν σκότος τῆς ὑπ᾽ οὐρανὸν ἔῃ. ὠ ΑΕαὶᾶἔσται εἰρήνη ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ. ἣν
16Lighting up the light of knowledge as the sun the day, and he shall be magnified in the world. 17 He shall shine forth as the sun on the earth, and shall remove all darkness from under heaven, and there shall be peace in all the earth.
Οἱ οὐρανοὶ ἀγαλλιάσονται ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις αὐτοῦ ἐκείναις. καὶ ἡ γῆ χαρήσεται, καὶ Τνεφέλαι εὐφρανθήσονται καὶ ἡ γνῶσις ἐκχυθήσεται ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ὡς ὕδωρ θαλασσῶν καὶ καὶ οἱ ἄγγελοι τῆς δόξης τοῦ προσώπου κυρίον ξυφρανθήσονται ἐν αὐτῷδ,
18The heavens shall exult in his days, and the earth shall be glad, and the clouds shall rejoice;
19And the knowledge of the Lord shall be poured forth upon the earth, as the water of the seas;
Οἱ οὐρανοὶ ἀνοιγήσονται δον καὶδ ἐκ τοῦ ναοῦ τῆς ἥξει ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν ἁγίασμα καί. μετὰ φωνῆς πατρικῆς ὡς ἀπὸ πρὸς Ιδαάκ, προσώπου. εὐφρανθήσονται ὁ χαρίσονται, χαρήκαὶ πνεῦμα συνέσεως καὶ ἁγιασμοῦ ὃ καταπαύσει Ἐδπ αὐτόν ἐν τῷ ὕδατι.
20And the angels of the glory of the presence of the Lord shall be glad in him.
ἙΑὐτὸς δώσει τὴν μεγαλωσύνην κυρίου Ἷ τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ ὃ ἐν ἀληθείᾳ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται διαδοχὴ αὐτοῦδθ εἰς γενεὰς γενεὰς ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος.
21The heavens shall be opened, and from the temple of glory shall come upon him sanctification, with the Father's voice as from Abraham to Isaac.
22And the glory of the Most High shall be uttered over him, and the spirit of understanding and sanctification shall rest upon him in the water.
Καὶ ἐπὶ Ἐτῆς ἱερωσύνης αὐτοῦδδ Ἐτὰ πληθυνθή σονταιδῦ ἐν γνώσει ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, καὶ φωτισθήσονται διὰ χάριτος κυρίον. δὲ Ἰσραὴλ ἐλαττωθήσεται ἐν ἀγνωσίᾳ καὶ σκοτισθήσεται ἐν πένθει ἐπὶ τῆς ἱερωσύνης αὐτοῦ ἐκλείψει Ἶ ἡ ἁμαρτία καὶ οἱ ἄνομοι Ἐκαταπαύσουσιν κακάδϑ, οἱ δὲ δίκαιοι καταπαύσουσιν ἐν αὐτῷ αὐτὸς ἀνοίξει τὰς θύρας τοῦ παραδείσου, ἀποστήσει τὴν ἀπειλοῦσαν ῥομφαίαν κατὰ τοῦ καὶ μεγαλυνθήσεται ἐν τῇ οἰκουμένῃ ἕως ἱ
23For he shall give the majesty of the Lord to His sons in truth for evermore;
Οὗτος ἀναλάμψει ὃς ἥλιος ἐν τῇ γῇ, ἀναλήκαὶ ἐξαρεῖ πᾶν σκότος ἐκ τῆς ὑπ οὐρανὸν ῥά ἢ καὶ ἔσται εἰρήνη ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ. ἐκείναις. καὶ ἡ γῆ χαρήσεται, καὶ αἰ Τγεφέλαι εὐφρανθήσονται καὶ ἣ γνῶσις κυρίουδ ἐκχυθήσεταιδ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ὡς ὕδωρ θαλασσῶν καὶ καὶ οἱ ἄγγελοι τῆς δόξης τοῦ προσώπου κυρίου ξυφρανθήΤὸν σονται ἐν αὐτῷδ,
24And there shall none succeed him for all generations for ever.
25And in his priesthood the Gentiles shall be multiplied in knowledge upon the earth, and enlightened through the grace of the Lord. In his priesthood shall sin come to an end, and the lawless shall cease to do evil.
Οἱ οὐρανοὶ ἀνοιγήσονται ἐκ τοῦ ναοῦ τῆς δόξης ἥξειδ ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν καί. μετὰ φωνῆς πατρικῆς ὡς ἀπὸ Ἐ᾿Αβραὰμ πρὸς Ἰδαάκ, προσώπον. εὐφρανθήσονται ὁ ἢ, χαρίσονται, χαρήἘδόξα ὑψίστου αὐτὸν ῥηθήσεται, καὶ πνεῦμα συνέσεως καὶ ἁγιασμοῦ ὃ καταπαύσει Ἐὲπ αὐτόν ἐν τῷ ὕδατι.
26And he shall open the gates of paradise, and shall remove the threatening sword against Adam, and he shall give to the saints to eat from the tree of life, and the spirit of holiness shall be on them.
ἙΑὐτὸς δώσει τὴν μεγαλωσύνην κυρίου Ἷ τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ ἐν ἀληθείᾳ τὸν αἰῶνα, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται διαδοχὴ εἰς γενεὰς Ἐ καὶ γενεὰς ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος.
27And Beliar shall be bound by him, and he shall give power to His children to tread upon the evil spirits.
28And the Lord shall rejoice in His children, and be well pleased in His beloved ones for ever.
Καὶ ἐπὶ ἱερωσύνης αὐτοῦδδ Ἐτὰ ἔθνηδε πληθυνθήν σονταιδὺ ἂν γνώσει ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, καὶ φωτισθήσονται διὰ χάριτος κυρίου. ὁ δὲ Ἰσραὴλ ἐλαττωθήσεται ἐν ἀγνωσίᾳ καὶ σκοτισθήσεται ἐν πένθει ἐπὶ τῆς ἱερωσύνης αὐτοῦ ἐκλείψει Ὑ ἡ δ᾽ ἁμαρτία καὶ οἱ ἄνομοι καταπαύσουσιν εἰς κακάδϑ, οἱ δὲ δίκαιοι καταπαύσουσιν ἐν αὐτῷ αὐτὸς ἀνοίξει τὰς θύρας τοῦ παραδείσου, ἀποστήσει τὴν ἀπειλοῦσαν ῥομφαίαν κατὰ δώσει ἁγίοις φαγεῖν ἐκ τοῦ ξύλον τῆς ζωῆς, καὶ Ἐπνεῦμα ἁγιωσύνης ἔσται δἾ ἐπ᾽ αὐτοῖς
29Then shall Abraham and Isaac and Jacob exult, and I will be glad, and all the saints shall clothe themselves with joy.
Καὶ ὁ Βελίαρ δεθήσεται ὑπ᾽ αὐτοῦ, καὶ δώσει ἐξουσίαν τοῖς τέκνοις πατεῖν ἐπὶ τὰ πονηρὰ πνεύματα.
30And now, my children, ye have heard all; choose, therefore, for yourselves either the light or the darkness, either the law of the Lord or the works of Beliar.
31And his sons answered him., saying, Before the Lord we will walk according to His law.
Καὶ εὐφρανθήσεται κύβοι ἐπὶ τοῖς τέκνοις αὐτοῦ, καὶ εὐδοκήσει ἐπὶ ἀγαπητοῖς αὐτοῦ εὐῴρο. Τοτέ ἀγαλλιάσεται ᾿Αβραὰμ καὶ Ἰσαὰκ καὶ Ἰακὼβ, κἀγὼ χαρήσομαιϊὁ, καὶ πάντες ἅγιοι ἐνδύσοντ δικαιοσύνην οὖν.
32And their father said unto them, The Lord is witness, and His angels are witnesses, and ye are witnesses, and I am witness, concerning the word of your mouth.
Καὶ νῦν, τέκνα πάντα ἠκούσατεἶ. ᾿ ἑαυτοῖς τὸ φῶς ἣ τὸ σκότος, ἣ τὸν νόμον κυρίου, ἣ ἡμᾶς λέγοντες ὃ ᾿ἘἘνώπιον κυρίου πορευσόμεθα ἴκαὶ κατὰ τὸν τῷ πατρὶ νόμον αὐτοῦ
33And his sons said unto him: We are witnesses.
34And thus Levi ceased commanding his sons; and he stretched out his feet on the bed, and was gathered to his fathers, after he had lived a hundred and thirty-seven years.
Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ πατὴρ αὐτῶν λέγοντες. Μάρτυς ἐστὶ κύριος, καὶ μάρτυρες οἱ ὃ ἄγγελοι αὐτοῦ, καὶ Κα Μάρτυρες ὑμεῖς καὶ μάρτυς ἐγὼ Ἐ περὶ τοῦ λόγου τοῦ στόματος εἴπομεν. ὑμῶν Καὶ Ἐεῖπον αὐτῷ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ Μάρτυρες θέντες τῷ πατρὶ ἡμῶν εἴπομεν. ἀποκριθέντες τῷ αὐτῶν εἶπον. ἢ, Καὶ οὕτως ἐπαύσατο Λευὶ ἐντελλόμενος τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ, Ἑκαὶ ἐξέτεινε τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦϑο τῆς κλίνης καὶ προσετέθη πρὸς τοὺς πατέρας αὐτοῦ, ζήσας Ἐἔτη ἑκατὸν τριάκοντα ἑπτά,
35And they laid him in a coffin, and afterwards they buried him in Hebron, with I Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Καὶ ἔθηκαν αὐτὸν ἐν σορῷ, καὶ ἢ Ἐμετὰ τοῦτο αὐτὸν ἐν Χεβρὼν μετὰ Ἐ᾿Αβραὰμ
