אַל-תְּבַהֵל עַל-פִּיךָ וְלִבְּךָ אַל-יְמַהֵר לְהוֹצִיא דָבָר לִפְנֵי הָאֱלֹהִים כִּי הָאֱלֹהִים בַּשָּׁמַיִם וְאַתָּה עַל-הָאָרֶץ עַֽל-כֵּן יִהְיוּ דְבָרֶיךָ מְעַטִּֽים׃
Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.
כִּי בְרֹב חֲלֹמוֹת וַהֲבָלִים וּדְבָרִים הַרְבֵּה כִּי אֶת-הָאֱלֹהִים יְרָֽא׃
For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities: but fear thou God.
וַיִּקְחוּ אֶת-הַפָּר אֲשֶׁר-נָתַן לָהֶם וַֽיַּעֲשׂוּ וַיִּקְרְאוּ בְשֵׁם-הַבַּעַל מֵֽהַבֹּקֶר וְעַד-הַצָּֽהֳרַיִם לֵאמֹר הַבַּעַל עֲנֵנוּ וְאֵין קוֹל וְאֵין עֹנֶה וַֽיְפַסְּחוּ עַל-הַמִּזְבֵּחַ אֲשֶׁר עָשָֽׂה׃
And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped upon the altar which was made.
πάντα γὰρ ταῦτα τὰ ἔθνη ἐπιζητεῖ· οἶδεν γὰρ ὁ πατὴρ ὑμῶν ὁ οὐράνιος ὅτι χρῄζετε τούτων ἁπάντων
(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all things. these
καὶ ἀφεὶς αὐτοὺς ἀπελθὼν πάλιν προσηύξατο ἐκ τρίτου τὸν αὐτὸν λόγον εἰπὼν
And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
הַטֵּה אֱלֹהַי׀ אָזְנְךָ וּֽשֲׁמָע (פקחה) פְּקַח עֵינֶיךָ וּרְאֵה שֹֽׁמְמֹתֵינוּ וְהָעִיר אֲשֶׁר-נִקְרָא שִׁמְךָ עָלֶיהָ כִּי׀ לֹא עַל-צִדְקֹתֵינוּ אֲנַחְנוּ מַפִּילִים תַּחֲנוּנֵינוּ לְפָנֶיךָ כִּי עַל-רַחֲמֶיךָ הָרַבִּֽים׃
O my God, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousnesses, but for thy great mercies.
πάλιν ἐκ δευτέρου ἀπελθὼν προσηύξατο λέγων Πάτερ μου εἰ οὐ δύναται τοῦτο τὸ ποτὴριον παρελθεῖν ἀπ' ἐμοῦ ἐὰν μὴ αὐτὸ πίω γενηθήτω τὸ θέλημά σου
He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.
ἐπιγνόντων δὲ ὅτι Ἰουδαῖός ἐστιν φωνὴ ἐγένετο μία ἐκ πάντων ὡς ἐπὶ ὥρας δύο κραζόντων Μεγάλη ἡ Ἄρτεμις Ἐφεσίων
But when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one about the space voice of two hours cried out, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
וְעַתָּה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל יֵאָמֶן נָא (דבריך) דְּבָרְךָ אֲשֶׁר דִּבַּרְתָּ לְעַבְדְּךָ דָּוִד אָבִֽי׃
And now, O God of Israel, let thy word, I pray thee, be verified, which thou spakest unto thy servant David my father.
καὶ προελθὼν μικρὸν ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ προσευχόμενος καὶ λέγων Πάτερ μου εἰ δυνατόν ἐστιν παρελθέτω ἀπ' ἐμοῦ τὸ ποτήριον τοῦτο· πλὴν οὐχ ὡς ἐγὼ θέλω ἀλλ' ὡς σύ
And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
ἐὰν δὲ παρακούσῃ αὐτῶν εἰπὲ τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ· ἐὰν δὲ καὶ τῆς ἐκκλησίας παρακούσῃ ἔστω σοι ὥσπερ ὁ ἐθνικὸς καὶ ὁ τελώνης
And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.
