LXX 2 Macc 7:27 Ancient Greek
Septuagint (Swete) — 2 Maccabees
προσκύψασα δὲ αὐτῷ, χλευάσασα τὸν ὡμὸν τύραννον, οὕτως ἔφησεν τῇ πατρίῳ φωνῇ Υἱέ, ἐλέησόν με τὴν ἐν γαστρὶ περιενέγκασάν σε μῆνας ἐννέα, καὶ θηλάσασάν σε ἔτη τρία, καὶ ἐκθρέψασάν σε καὶ ἀγαγοῦσαν εἰς τὴν ἡλικίαν ταύτην καὶ τροφοφορήσασαν.
So bending herself towards him, mocking the cruel tyrant, she said in her own language: My son have pity upon me, that bore thee nine months in my womb, and gave thee suck three years, and nourished thee, and brought thee up unto this age.
English: Douay-Rheims (translated from the Vulgate; Greek/Latin numbering)
