19.1 to 19.9

Καὶ ἐγένετο ἀνὴρ Λευείτης παροικῶν ἐν μηροῖς ὄρους Ἐφράιμ, καὶ ἔλαβεν αὐτῷ γυναῖκα παλλακὴν ἀπὸ Βηθλέεμ Ἰούδα. καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ ἡ παλλακὴ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀπῆλθεν παρ’ αὐτοῦ εἰς οἶκον πατρὸς αὐτῆς, εἰς Βηθλέεμ Ἰούδα· καὶ ἦν ἐκεῖ ἡμέρας δ΄ μηνῶν. καὶ ἀνέστη ὁ ἀνὴρ αὐτῆς καὶ ἐπορεύθη ὀπίσω αὐτῆς τοῦ λαλῆσαι ἐπὶ καρδίαν αὐτῆς, τοῦ ἐπιστρέψαι αὐτὴν αὐτῷ· καὶ νεανίας αὐτοῦ μετ’ αὐτοῦ καὶ ζεῦγος ὄνων. καὶ ἥδε εἰσήνεγκεν αὐτὸν εἰς οἶκον πατρὸς αύτῆς· καὶ εἶδεν αὐτὸν ὁ πατὴρ τῆς νεάνιδος, καὶ ηὐφράνθη εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτοῦ. καὶ κατέσχεν αὐτὸν ὁ γαμβρὸς αὐτοῦ ὁ πατὴρ τῆς νεάνιδος, καὶ ἐκάθισεν μετ’ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τρεῖς ἡμέρας, καὶ ἔφαγον καὶ ἔπιον, καὶ ηὐλίσθησαν ἐκεῖ. καὶ ἐγένετο τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τετάρτῃ καὶ ὤρθρισαν τὸ πρωὶ καὶ ἀνέστη τοῦ πορευθῆναι· καὶ εἶπεν ὁ πατὴρ τῆς νεάνιδος πρὸς τὸν νυμφίον αὐτοῦ Στήρισόν σου τὴν καρδίαν ψωμῷ ἄρτου, καὶ μετὰ τοῦτο πορεύσεσθε. καὶ ἐκάθισεν καὶ ἔφαγον οἱ δύο ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ καὶ ἔπιον· καὶ εἶπεν ὁ πατὴρ τῆς νεάνιδος πρὸς τὸν ἄνδρα Ἄγε δὴ αὐλίσθητι, καὶ ἀγαθυνθ· ήσεται ἡ καρδία σου. καὶ ἀνέστη ὁ ἀνὴρ τοῦ πορεύεσθαι· καὶ ἐβιάσατο αὐτὸν ὁ γαμβρὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐκάθισεν καὶ ηὐλίσθη ἐκεῖ. καὶ ὤρθρισεν τὸ πρωὶ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τ‘ῆ πέμπτῃ τοῦ πορευθῆναι, καὶ εἶπεν ὁ πατὴρ τῆς νεάνιδος Στήρισον δὴ τὴν καρδίαν σου, καὶ στράτευσον ἕως κλῖναι τὴν ἡμέραν· καὶ ἔφαγον οἱ δύο. καὶ ἀνέστη ὁ ἀνὴρ τοῦ πορευθῆναι, αὐτὸς καὶ ἡ παλλακὴ αὐτοῦ καὶ ὁ νεανίας αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ γαμβρὸς αὐτοῦ ὁ πατὴρ τῆς νεάνιδος ἰδού δὴ ἡ ἡμέρα εἰς τὴν ἑσπέραν· αὐλίσθητι ὧδε καὶ ἀγαθυνθήἡ καρδία σου, καὶ ὀρθριεῖτε αὔριον εἰς ὁδὸν ὑμῶν καὶ πορεύσῃ εἰς τὸ σκήνωμά σου.
