רָאִיתִי בֹגְדִים וָֽאֶתְקוֹטָטָה אֲשֶׁר אִמְרָתְךָ לֹא שָׁמָֽרוּ׃
I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not thy word.
וַֽיְהִי כַּֽאֲשֶׁר קָרַב אֶל-הַֽמַּחֲנֶה וַיַּרְא אֶת-הָעֵגֶל וּמְחֹלֹת וַיִּֽחַר-אַף מֹשֶׁה וַיַּשְׁלֵךְ (מידו) מִיָּדָיו אֶת-הַלֻּחֹת וַיְשַׁבֵּר אֹתָם תַּחַת הָהָֽר׃
And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount.
καὶ δίκαιον Λὼτ καταπονούμενον ὑπὸ τῆς τῶν ἀθέσμων ἐν ἀσελγείᾳ ἀναστροφῆς ἐῤῥύσατο·
And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:
פַּלְגֵי-מַיִם יָרְדוּ עֵינָי עַל לֹא-שָׁמְרוּ תוֹרָתֶֽךָ׃
Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law.
כִּי מָלֵתִי מִלִּים הֱצִיקַתְנִי רוּחַ בִּטְנִֽי׃
For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.
וְאוּלָם אָנֹכִי מָלֵאתִי כֹחַ אֶת-רוּחַ יְהוָה וּמִשְׁפָּט וּגְבוּרָה לְהַגִּיד לְיַֽעֲקֹב פִּשְׁעוֹ וּלְיִשְׂרָאֵל חַטָּאתֽוֹ׃
But truly I am full of power by the spirit of the LORD, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.
καὶ περιβλεψάμενος αὐτοὺς μετ' ὀργῆς συλλυπούμενος ἐπὶ τῇ πωρώσει τῆς καρδίας αὐτῶν λέγει τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ Ἔκτεινον τὴν χεῖρα σου καὶ ἐξέτεινεν καὶ ἀποκατεστάθη ἡ χεὶρ αὐτοῦ ὑγιὴς ὡς ἡ ἄλλη
And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other.
וְאָמַרְתִּי לֹֽא-אֶזְכְּרֶנּוּ וְלֹֽא-אֲדַבֵּר עוֹד בִּשְׁמוֹ וְהָיָה בְלִבִּי כְּאֵשׁ בֹּעֶרֶת עָצֻר בְּעַצְמֹתָי וְנִלְאֵיתִי כַּֽלְכֵל וְלֹא אוּכָֽל׃
Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.
כִּֽי-קִנְאַת בֵּיתְךָ אֲכָלָתְנִי וְחֶרְפּוֹת חוֹרְפֶיךָ נָפְלוּ עָלָֽי׃
For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
וַיִּחַר אַף׀ אֱלִיהוּא בֶן-בַּרַכְאֵל הַבּוּזִי מִמִּשְׁפַּחַת רָם בְּאִיּוֹב חָרָה אַפּוֹ עַֽל-צַדְּקוֹ נַפְשׁוֹ מֵאֱלֹהִֽים׃
Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.
וַיֹּאמֶר קַנֹּא קִנֵּאתִי לַֽיהוָה׀ אֱלֹהֵי צְבָאוֹת כִּֽי-עָזְבוּ בְרִֽיתְךָ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת-מִזְבְּחֹתֶיךָ הָרָסוּ וְאֶת-נְבִיאֶיךָ הָֽרְגוּ בֶחָרֶב וָֽאִוָּתֵר אֲנִי לְבַדִּי וַיְבַקְשׁוּ אֶת-נַפְשִׁי לְקַחְתָּֽהּ׃
And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
וַיֹּאמֶר קַנֹּא קִנֵּאתִי לַֽיהוָה׀ אֱלֹהֵי צְבָאוֹת כִּֽי-עָזְבוּ בְרִֽיתְךָ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת-מִזְבְּחֹתֶיךָ הָרָסוּ וְאֶת-נְבִיאֶיךָ הָֽרְגוּ בֶחָרֶב וָֽאִוָּתֵר אֲנִי לְבַדִּי וַיְבַקְשׁוּ אֶת-נַפְשִׁי לְקַחְתָּֽהּ׃
And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
διερχόμενος γὰρ καὶ ἀναθεωρῶν τὰ σεβάσματα ὑμῶν εὗρον καὶ βωμὸν ἐν ᾧ ἐπεγέγραπτο Ἀγνώστῳ θεῷ ὃν οὖν ἀγνοοῦντες εὐσεβεῖτε τοῦτον ἐγὼ καταγγέλλω ὑμῖν
For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.
וְהִנֵּה אִישׁ מִבְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל בָּא וַיַּקְרֵב אֶל-אֶחָיו אֶת-הַמִּדְיָנִית לְעֵינֵי מֹשֶׁה וּלְעֵינֵי כָּל-עֲדַת בְּנֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל וְהֵמָּה בֹכִים פֶּתַח אֹהֶל מוֹעֵֽד׃
And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
Καὶ ἐγγὺς ἦν τὸ πάσχα τῶν Ἰουδαίων καὶ ἀνέβη εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα ὁ Ἰησοῦς
And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,
