LXX 2 Macc 7:9 Ancient Greek
Septuagint (Swete) — 2 Maccabees
ἐν ἐσχάτῃ δέ πνοῇ γενόμενος εἶπεν Σύ μέν, ἀλάστωρ, ἐκ του παρόντος ἡμᾶς ζῆν ἀπολύεις, ὁ δὲ τοῦ κόσμου βασιλεὺς ἀποθανόντας ἡμᾶς ὑπέρ τῶν αὐτοῦ νόμων εἰς αἰώνιον ἀναβίωσιν ζωῆς ἡμᾶς ἀναστήσει.
And when he was at the last gasp, he said thus: Thou indeed, O most wicked man, destroyest us out of this present life: but the King of the world will raise us up, who die for his laws, in the resurrection of eternal life.
English: Douay-Rheims (translated from the Vulgate; Greek/Latin numbering)
