Acts 23:12
And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound under a curse, themselves saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.

μηνυθείσης δέ μοι ἐπιβουλῆς εἰς τὸν ἄνδρα μελλείν ἔσεσθαι ὑπὸ τῶν Ἰουδαίων ἐξαυτῆς ἔπεμψα πρὸς σέ παραγγείλας καὶ τοῖς κατηγόροις λέγειν τὰ πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐπὶ σοῦ Ἔῤῥωσο
And when it was told me how that the Jews laid wait for the man, I sent straightway to thee, and gave commandment to his accusers also to say before thee what they had against him. Farewell.
רֹעוּ עַמִּים וָחֹתּוּ וְהַֽאֲזִינוּ כֹּל מֶרְחַקֵּי-אָרֶץ הִתְאַזְּרוּ וָחֹתּוּ הִֽתְאַזְּרוּ וָחֹֽתּוּ׃
Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces.
σὺ οὖν μὴ πεισθῇς αὐτοῖς· ἐνεδρεύουσιν γὰρ αὐτὸν ἐξ αὐτῶν ἄνδρες πλείους τεσσαράκοντα οἵτινες ἀνεθεμάτισαν ἑαυτοὺς μήτε φαγεῖν μήτε πιεῖν ἕως οὗ ἀνέλωσιν αὐτόν καὶ νῦν ἕτοιμοι εἰσιν προσδεχόμενοι τὴν ἀπὸ σοῦ ἐπαγγελίαν
But do not thou yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, which have bound with an oath, themselves that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now are they ready, looking for a promise from thee.
οἵτινες προσελθόντες τοῖς ἀρχιερεῦσιν καὶ τοῖς πρεσβυτέροις εἶπον Ἀναθέματι ἀνεθεματίσαμεν ἑαυτοὺς μηδενὸς γεύσασθαι ἕως οὗ ἀποκτείνωμεν τὸν Παῦλον
And they came to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul.
כִּי שָׁמַעְתִּי׀ דִּבַּת רַבִּים מָגוֹר מִסָּבִיב בְּהִוָּסְדָם יַחַד עָלַי לָקַחַת נַפְשִׁי זָמָֽמוּ׃
For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.
לָמָּה רָגְשׁוּ גוֹיִם וּלְאֻמִּים יֶהְגּוּ-רִֽיק׃
Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
וַאֲנִי כְּכֶבֶשׂ אַלּוּף יוּבַל לִטְבוֹחַ וְלֹֽא-יָדַעְתִּי כִּֽי-עָלַי׀ חָשְׁבוּ מַחֲשָׁבוֹת נַשְׁחִיתָה עֵץ בְּלַחְמוֹ וְנִכְרְתֶנּוּ מֵאֶרֶץ חַיִּים וּשְׁמוֹ לֹֽא-יִזָּכֵר עֽוֹד׃
But I was like a lamb or an ox that is brought to the slaughter; and I knew not that they had devised devices against me, saying, Let us destroy the tree with the fruit thereof, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered.
תַּסְתִּירֵנִי מִסּוֹד מְרֵעִים מֵרִגְשַׁת פֹּעֲלֵי אָֽוֶן׃
Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:
καὶ συνεβουλεύσαντο ἵνα τὸν Ἰησοῦν κρατήσωσιν δόλῳ καὶ ἀποκτείνωσιν·
And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him.
αἰτούμενοι χάριν κατ' αὐτοῦ ὅπως μεταπέμψηται αὐτὸν εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ ἐνέδραν ποιοῦντες ἀνελεῖν αὐτὸν κατὰ τὴν ὁδόν
And desired favour against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him.
וַיֹּאמֶר כֹּֽה-יַעֲשֶׂה-לִּי אֱלֹהִים וְכֹה יוֹסִף אִֽם-יַעֲמֹד רֹאשׁ אֱלִישָׁע בֶּן-שָׁפָט עָלָיו הַיּֽוֹם׃
Then he said, God do so and more also to me, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat shall stand on him this day.
εἴ τις οὐ φιλεῖ τὸν κύριον Ἰησοῦν Χριστόν ἤτω ἀνάθεμα Μαρὰν ἀθά
If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha.
Χριστὸς ἡμᾶς ἐξηγόρασεν ἐκ τῆς κατάρας τοῦ νόμου γενόμενος ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν κατάρα γέγραπται γὰρ Ἐπικατάρατος πᾶς ὁ κρεμάμενος ἐπὶ ξύλου
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
וַתִּשְׁלַח אִיזֶבֶל מַלְאָךְ אֶל-אֵֽלִיָּהוּ לֵאמֹר כֹּֽה-יַעֲשׂוּן אֱלֹהִים וְכֹה יֽוֹסִפוּן כִּֽי-כָעֵת מָחָר אָשִׂים אֶֽת-נַפְשְׁךָ כְּנֶפֶשׁ אַחַד מֵהֶֽם׃
Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by to morrow about this time.
καὶ ὤμοσεν αὐτῇ ὅτι Ὅ ἐάν με αἰτήσῃς δώσω σοι ἕως ἡμίσους τῆς βασιλείας μου
And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom.
וְאִֽישׁ-יִשְׂרָאֵל נִגַּשׂ בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא וַיֹּאֶל שָׁאוּל אֶת-הָעָם לֵאמֹר אָרוּר הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר-יֹאכַל לֶחֶם עַד-הָעֶרֶב וְנִקַּמְתִּי מֵאֹיְבַי וְלֹֽא-טָעַם כָּל-הָעָם לָֽחֶם׃
And the men of Israel were distressed that day: for Saul had adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any food until evening, that I may be avenged on mine enemies. So none of the people tasted any food.
וַיַּשְׁבַּע יְהוֹשֻׁעַ בָּעֵת הַהִיא לֵאמֹר אָרוּר הָאִישׁ לִפְנֵי יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר יָקוּם וּבָנָה אֶת-הָעִיר הַזֹּאת אֶת-יְרִיחוֹ בִּבְכֹרוֹ יְיַסְּדֶנָּה וּבִצְעִירוֹ יַצִּיב דְּלָתֶֽיהָ׃
And Joshua adjured them at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before the LORD, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho: he shall lay the foundation thereof in his firstborn, and in his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it.
מַֽחֲזִיקִים עַל-אֲחֵיהֶם אַדִּֽירֵיהֶם וּבָאִים בְּאָלָה וּבִשְׁבוּעָה לָלֶכֶת בְּתוֹרַת הָֽאֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר נִתְּנָה בְּיַד מֹשֶׁה עֶֽבֶד-הָֽאֱלֹהִים וְלִשְׁמוֹר וְלַֽעֲשׂוֹת אֶת-כָּל-מִצְוֹת יְהוָה אֲדֹנֵינוּ וּמִשְׁפָּטָיו וְחֻקָּֽיו׃
They clave to their brethren, their nobles, and entered into a curse, and into an oath, to walk in God's law, which was given by Moses the servant of God, and to observe and do all the commandments of the LORD our Lord, and his judgments and his statutes;
כָּל-חֵרֶם אֲשֶׁר יָחֳרַם מִן-הָאָדָם לֹא יִפָּדֶה מוֹת יוּמָֽת׃
None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed; but shall surely be put to death.
καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς πᾶς ὁ λαὸς εἶπεν Τὸ αἷμα αὐτοῦ ἐφ' ἡμᾶς καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ τέκνα ἡμῶν
Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.
