LXX

And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy secretly, saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. And they went, and came into an harlot’s house, named Rahab, and lodged there.

Καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ἰησοῦς υἱὸς Ναυῆ ἐκ Σαττὶν δύο νεανίσκους κατασκοπεῦσαι, λέγων, ἀνάβητε καὶ ἴδετε τὴν γῆν καὶ τὴν Ἱεριχώ· καὶ πορευθέντες οἱ δύο νεανίσκοι εἰσήλθοσαν εἰς Ἱεριχώ· καὶ εἰσήλθοσαν εἰς οἰκίαν γυναικὸς πόρνης, ᾗ ὄνομα Ῥαάβ· Καὶ κατέλυσαν ἐκεῖ.

And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, there came men in hither to night of the children of Israel to search out the country.

Καὶ ἀπηγγέλη τῷ βασιλεῖ Ἱεριχὼ, λέγοντες, εἰσπεπόρευνται ὧδε ἄνδρες τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ κατασκοπεῦσαι τὴν γῆν.

And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab, saying, Bring forth the men that are come to thee, which are entered into thine house: for they be come to search out all the country.

Καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἱεριχὼ, καὶ εἶπε πρὸς Ῥαὰβ, λέγων, ἐξάγαγε τοὺς ἄνδρας τοὺς εἰσπεπορευμένους εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν σου τὴν νύκτα, κατασκοπεῦσαι γὰρ τὴν γῆν ἥκασι.

And the woman took the two men, and hid them, and said thus, There came men unto me, but I wist not whence they were:

Καὶ λαβοῦσα ἡ γυνὴ τοὺς δύο ἄνδρας, ἔκρυψεν αὐτούς· καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, λέγουσα, εἰσεληλύθασι πρὸς μὲ οἱ ἄνδρες,

And it came to pass about the time of shutting of the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out: whither the men went I wot not: pursue after them quickly; for ye shall overtake them.

ὡς δὲ ἡ πύλη ἐκλείετο ἐν τῷ σκότει, καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες ἐξῆλθον· οὐκ ἐπίσταμαι ποῦ πεπόρευνται· καταδιώξατε ὀπίσω αὐτῶν, εἰ καταλήψεσθε αὐτούς.

But she had brought them up to the roof of the house, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order upon the roof.

Αὕτη δὲ ἀνεβίβασεν αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ τὸ δῶμα, καὶ ἔκρυψεν αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ λινοκαλάμῃ τῇ ἐστοιβασμένῃ αὐτῇ ἐπὶ τοῦ δώματος.

And the men pursued after them the way to Jordan unto the fords: and as soon as they which pursued after them were gone out, they shut the gate.

Καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες κατεδίωξαν ὀπίσω αὐτῶν ὁδὸν τὴν ἐπὶ τοῦ Ἰορδάνου ἐπὶ τὰς διαβάσεις, καὶ ἡ πύλη ἐκλείσθη.

And before they were laid down, she came up unto them upon the roof;

Καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἐξήλθοσαν οἱ διώκοντες ὀπίσω αὐτῶν, καὶ αὐτοὶ δὲ πρὶν ἢ κοιμηθῆναι αὐτοὺς, αὕτη δὲ ἀνέβη πρὸς αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ τὸ δῶμα,

And she said unto the men, I know that the Lord hath given you the land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you.

καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτοὺς, ἐπίσταμαι ὅτι ἔδωκεν ὑμῖν Κύριος τὴν γῆν· ἐπιπέπτωκε γὰρ ὁ φόβος ὑμῶν ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς.

For we have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that were on the other side Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.

Ἀκηκόαμεν γὰρ ὅτι κατεξήρανε Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς τὴν ἐρυθρὰν θάλασσαν ἀπὸ προσώπου ὑμῶν, ὅτε ἐξεπορεύεσθε ἐκ γῆς Αἰγυπτου, καὶ ὅσα ἐποίησε τοῖς δυσὶ βασιλεῦσι τῶν Ἀμοῤῥαίων, οἳ ἦσαν πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου, τῷ Σηὼν καὶ Ὢγ, οὓς ἐξωλοθρεύσατε αὐτούς.

And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for the Lord your God, he is God in heaven above, and in earth beneath.

Καὶ ἀκούσαντες ἡμεῖς ἐξέστημεν τῇ καρδίᾳ ἡμῶν, καὶ οὐκ ἔστη ἔτι πνεῦμα ἐν οὐδενὶ ἡμῶν ἀπὸ προσώπου ὑμῶν· ὅτι Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὑμῶν, Θεὸς ἐν οὐρανῷ ἄνω καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς κάτω.

Now therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by the Lord, since I have shewed you kindness, that ye will also shew kindness unto my father’s house, and give me a true token:

Καὶ νῦν ὀμόσατέ μοι Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν, ὅτι ποιῶ ὑμῖν ἔλεος, καὶ ποιήσατε Καὶ ὑμεῖς ἔλεος ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ πατρός μου,

And that ye will save alive my father, and my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives from death.

καὶ ζωγρήσατε τὸν οἶκον τοῦ πατρὸς μου, τὴν μητέρα μου, καὶ τοὺς ἀδελφούς μου, καὶ πάντα τὸν οἶκόν μου, καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἐστὶν αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἐξελεῖσθε τὴν ψυχήν μου ἐκ θανάτου.

And the men answered her, Our life for yours, if ye utter not this our business. And it shall be, when the Lord hath given us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee.

Καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῇ οἱ ἄνδρες, ἡ ψυχὴ ἡμῶν ἀνθʼ ὑμῶν εἰς θάνατον· καὶ αὐτὴ εἶπεν, ὡς ἂν παραδῷ Κύριος ὑμῖν τὴν πόλιν, ποιήσετε εἰς ἐμὲ ἔλεος καὶ ἀλήθειαν.

Then she let them down by a cord through the window: for her house was upon the town wall, and she dwelt upon the wall.

Καὶ κατεχάλασεν αὐτοὺς διὰ τῆς θυρίδος,

And she said unto them, Get you to the mountain, lest the pursuers meet you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers be returned: and afterward may ye go your way.

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, εἰς τὴν ὀρεινὴν ἀπέλθετε, μὴ συναντήσωσιν ὑμῖν οἱ καταδιώκοντες, καὶ κρυβήσεσθε ἐκεῖ τρεῖς ἡμέρας ἕως ἂν ἀποστρέψωσιν οἱ καταδιώκοντες ὀπίσω ὑμῶν, καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα ἀπελεύσεσθε εἰς τὴν ὁδὸν ὑμῶν.

And the men said unto her, We will be blameless of this thine oath which thou hast made us swear.

Καὶ εἶπαν πρὸς αὐτὴν οἱ ἄνδρες, ἀθῶοι ἐσμὲν τῷ ὅρκῳ σου τούτῳ.

Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which thou didst let us down by: and thou shalt bring thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father’s household, home unto thee.

Ἰδοὺ ἡμεῖς εἰσπορευόμεθα εἰς μέρος τῆς πόλεως, καὶ θήσεις τὸ σημεῖον, τὸ σπαρτίον τὸ κόκκινον τοῦτο ἐκδήσεις εἰς τὴν θυρίδα διʼ ἧς κατεβίβασας ἡμᾶς διʼ αὐτῆς· τὸν δὲ πατέρα σου, καὶ τὴν μητέρα σου, καὶ τοὺς ἀδελφούς σου, καὶ πάντα τὸν οἶκον τοῦ πατρός σου συνάξεις πρὸς σεαυτὴν εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν σου.

And it shall be, that whosoever shall go out of the doors of thy house into the street, his blood shall be upon his head, and we will be guiltless: and whosoever shall be with thee in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand be upon him.

Καὶ ἔσται πᾶς ὃς ἂν ἐξέλθῃ τὴν θύραν τῆς οἰκίας σου ἔξω, ἔνοχος ἑαυτῷ ἔσται, ἡμεῖς δὲ ἀθῶοι τῷ ὅρκῳ σου τούτῳ· καὶ ὅσοι ἐὰν γένωνται μετὰ σοῦ ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ σου, ἡμεῖς ἔνοχοι ἐσόμεθα.

And if thou utter this our business, then we will be quit of thine oath which thou hast made us to swear.

Ἐὰν δέ τις ἡμᾶς ἀδικήσῃ ἢ καὶ ἀποκαλύψῃ τοὺς λόγους ἡμῶν τούτους, ἐσόμεθα ἀθῶοι τῷ ὅρκῳ σου τούτῳ.

And she said, According unto your words, so be it. And she sent them away, and they departed: and she bound the scarlet line in the window.

Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα ὑμῶν ἔστω· καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν αὐτοὺς, καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν.

And they went, and came unto the mountain, and abode there three days, until the pursuers were returned: and the pursuers sought them throughout all the way, but found them not.

Καὶ ἤλθοσαν εἰς τὴν ὀρεινήν, καὶ κατέμειναν ἐκεῖ τρεῖς ἡμέρας· καὶ ἐξεζήτησαν οἱ καταδιώκοντες πάσας τὰς ὁδοὺς, καὶ οὐχ εὕροσαν.

So the two men returned, and descended from the mountain, and passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and told him all things that befell them:

Καὶ ὑπέστρεψαν οἱ δύο νεανίσκοι, καὶ κατέβησαν ἐκ τοῦ ὄρους· καὶ διέβησαν πρὸς Ἰησοῦν υἱὸν Ναυὴ, καὶ διηγήσαντο αὐτῷ πάντα τὰ συμβεβηκότα αὐτοῖς.

And they said unto Joshua, Truly the Lord hath delivered into our hands all the land; for even all the inhabitants of the country do faint because of us.

Καὶ εἶπαν πρὸς Ἰησοῦν, ὅτι παραδέδωκε Κύριος πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν ἐν χειρὶ ἡμῶν, καὶ κατέπτηχε πᾶς ὁ κατοικῶν τὴν γῆν ἐκείνην ἀφʼ ἡμῶν.
