LXX Brenton's Greek Septuagint

WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)

1 Ἐν ἔτει δευτέρῳ τῷ Ἰωὰς υἱῷ Ἰωάχαζ βασιλεῖ Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἐβασιλευσεν Ἀμεσσίας υἱὸς Ἰωὰς βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα.

1 In the second year of Joash, son of Joahaz, king of Israel, Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah began to reign.

2 Υἱὸς εἴκοσι καὶ πέντε ἐτῶν ἦν ἐν τῷ βασιλεύειν αὐτὸν, καὶ εἴκοσι καὶ ἐννέα ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ἰερουσαλὴμ, καὶ ὄνομα τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ Ἰωαδὶμ ἐξ Ἱερουσαλήμ.

2 He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jehoaddin of Jerusalem.

3 Καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ εὐθὲς ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Κυρίου, πλὴν οὐχ ὡς Δαυὶδ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ· κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησεν Ἰωὰς ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ ἐποίησε.

3 He did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, yet not like David his father. He did according to all that Joash his father had done.

4 Πλὴν τὰ ὑψηλὰ οὐκ ἐξῇρεν· ἔτι ὁ λαὸς ἐθυσίαζε καὶ ἐθυμίων ἐν τοῖς ὑψηλοῖς.

4 However the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burned incense in the high places.

5 Καὶ ἐγένετο ὅτε κατίσχυσεν ἡ βασιλεία ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπάταξε τοὺς δούλους αὐτοῦ τοὺς πατάξαντας τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ.

5 As soon as the kingdom was established in his hand, he killed his servants who had slain the king his father,

6 Καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς τῶν παταξάντων οὐκ ἐθανάτωσε, καθὼς γέγραπται ἐν βιβλίῳ νόμων Μωυσῆ, ὡς ἐνετείλατο Κύριος, λέγων, οὐκ ἀποθανοῦνται πατέρες ὑπὲρ υἱῶν, καὶ υἱοὶ οὐκ ἀποθανοῦνται ὑπὲρ πατέρων, ὅτι ἀλλʼ ἢ ἕκαστος ἐν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις αὐτοῦ ἀποθανεῖται.

6 but the children of the murderers he didn’t put to death, according to that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, as Yahweh commanded, saying, “The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall die for his own sin.”

7 Αὐτὸς ἐπάταξε τὴν Ἐδὼμ ἐν γεμελὲδ δέκα χιλιάδας, καὶ συνέλαβε τὴν πέτραν ἐν τῷ πολέμῳ, καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῆς Ἰεθοὴλ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης.

7 He killed ten thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt, and took Sela by war, and called its name Joktheel, to this day.

8 Τότε ἀπέστειλεν Ἀμεσσίας ἀγγέλους πρὸς Ἰωὰς υἱὸν Ἰωάχαζ υἱοῦ Ἰοὺ βασιλέως Ἰσραὴλ, λέγων, δεῦρο ὀφθῶμεν προσώποις.

8 Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, “Come, let’s look one another in the face.”

9 Καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ἰωὰς βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς Ἀμεσσίαν βασιλέα Ἰούδα, λέγων, ὁ ἄκαν ὁ ἐν τῷ Λιβάνῳ ἀπέστειλε πρὸς τὴν κέδρον τὴν ἐν τῷ Λιβάνῳ, λέγων δὸς τὴν θυγατέρα σου τῷ υἱῷ μου εἰς γυναῖκα· καὶ διῆλθον τὰ θηρία τοῦ ἀγροῦ τὰ ἐν τῷ Λιβάνῳ, καὶ συνεπάτησαν τὴν ἄκανα.

9 Jehoash the king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, “The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son as wife.’ Then a wild animal that was in Lebanon passed by, and trampled down the thistle.

10 Τύπτων ἐπάταξας τὴν Ἰδουμαίαν, καὶ ἐπῇρέ σε καρδία σου· ἐνδοξάσθητι καθήμενος ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ σου, καὶ ἱνατί ἐρίζεις ἐν κακίᾳ σου; καὶ πεσῇ σὺ καὶ Ἰούδας μετὰ σοῦ.

10 You have indeed struck Edom, and your heart has lifted you up. Enjoy the glory of it, and stay at home; for why should you meddle to your harm, that you fall, even you, and Judah with you?”

11 Καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσεν Ἀμεσσίας· καὶ ἀνέβη Ἰωὰς βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ὤφθησαν προσώποις αὐτὸς καὶ Ἀμεσσίας βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα ἐν Βαιθσαμὺς τῇ τοῦ Ἰούδα·

11 But Amaziah would not listen. So Jehoash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah.

12 Καὶ ἔπταισεν Ἰούδας ἀπὸ προσώπου Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἔφυγεν ἀνὴρ εἰς τὸ σκήνωμα αὐτοῦ.

12 Judah was defeated by Israel; and each man fled to his tent.

13 Καὶ τὸν Ἀμεσσίαν υἱὸν Ἰωὰς υἱοῦ Ὀχοζίου συνέλαβεν Ἰωὰς βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ ἐν Βαιθσαμύς· καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ, καὶ καθεῖλεν ἐν τῷ τείχει Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐν τῇ πύλῃ Ἐφραὶμ ἕως πύλης τῆς γωνίας τετρακοσίους πήχεις.

13 Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Beth Shemesh and came to Jerusalem, then broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.

14 Καὶ ἔλαβε τὸ χρυσίον, καὶ τὸ ἀργύριον, καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη τὰ εὑρεθέντα ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου, καὶ ἐν θησαυροῖς οἴκου τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς τῶν συμμίξεων, καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν εἰς Σαμάρειαν.

14 He took all the gold and silver and all the vessels that were found in Yahweh’s house and in the treasures of the king’s house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.

15 Καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ἰωὰς ὅσα ἐποίησεν ἐν δυναστείᾳ αὐτοῦ, ἃ ἐπολέμησε μετὰ Ἀμεσσείου βασιλέως Ἰούδα, οὐχὶ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν Ἰσραήλ;

15 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash which he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

16 Καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Ἰωὰς μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ μετὰ τῶν βασιλέων Ἰσραήλ· καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ἰεροβοὰμ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ.

16 Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son reigned in his place.

17 Καὶ ἔζησεν Ἀμεσσίας υἱὸς Ἰωὰς βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα μετὰ τὸ ἀποθανεῖν Ἰωὰς υἱὸν Ἰωάχαζ βασιλέα Ἰσραὴλ, πεντεκαίδεκα ἔτη.

17 Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel, fifteen years.

18 Καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ἀμεσσίου καὶ πάντα ἅσα ἐποίησεν, οὐχὶ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν Ἰούδα;

18 Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

19 Καὶ συνεστράφησαν ἐπʼ αὐτὸν σύστρεμμα ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ ἔφυγεν εἰς Λαχίς· καὶ ἀπέστειλαν ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ εἰς Λαχὶς, καὶ ἐθανάτωσαν αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ.

19 They made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish; but they sent after him to Lachish and killed him there.

20 Καὶ ῃραν αὐτὸν ἐφʼ ἵππων, καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ ἐν πόλει Δαυίδ.

20 They brought him on horses, and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in David’s city.

21 Καὶ ἔλαβε πᾶς ὁ λαὸς Ἰούδα τὸν Ἀζαρίαν, καὶ αὐτὸς υἱὸς ἑκκαίδεκα ἐτῶν, καὶ ἐβασίλευσαν αὐτὸς ἀντὶ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ Ἀμεσσίου.

21 All the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the place of his father Amaziah.

22 Αὐτὸς ᾠκοδόμησε τὴν Αἰλὼθ, καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν αὐτὴν τῷ Ἰούδα μετὰ τὸ κοιμηθῆναι τὸν βασιλέα μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ.

22 He built Elath and restored it to Judah. After that the king slept with his fathers.

23 Ἐν ἔτει πεντεκαιδεκάτῳ τοῦ Ἀμεσσίου υἱῷ Ἰωὰς βασιλεῖ Ἰούδα ἐβασίλευσεν Ἱεροβοὰμ υἱὸς Ἰωὰς ἐπὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ τεσσαράκοντα καὶ ἓν ἔτος.

23 In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah, Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel began to reign in Samaria for forty-one years.

24 Καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου· οὐκ ἀπέστη ἀπὸ πασῶν ἁμαρτιῶν Ἰεροβοὰμ υἱοῦ Ναβὰτ, ὃς ἐξήμαρτε τὸν Ἰσραήλ.

24 He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight. He didn’t depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin.

25 Αὐτὸς ἀπέστησε τὸ ὅριον Ἰσραὴλ ἀπὸ εἰσόδου Αἰμὰθ ἕως τῆς θαλάσσης τῆς Ἄραβα, κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα Κυρίου Θεοῦ Ἰσραὴλ ὃ ἐλάλησεν ἐν χειρὶ δούλου αὐτοῦ Ἰῶνα υἱοῦ Ἀμαθὶ τοῦ προφήτου τοῦ ἐκ Γεθχοφέρ.

25 He restored the border of Israel from the entrance of Hamath to the sea of the Arabah, according to Yahweh, the God of Israel’s word, which he spoke by his servant Jonah the son of Amittai, the prophet, who was from Gath Hepher.

26 Ὅτι εἶδε Κύριος τὴν ταπείνωσιν Ἰσραὴλ πικρὰν σφόδρα, καὶ ὀλιγοστοὺς συνεχομένους, καὶ ἐσπανισμένους, καὶ ἐγκαταλελειμμένους, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ βοηθῶν τῷ Ἰσραήλ.

26 For Yahweh saw the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter for all, slave and free; and there was no helper for Israel.

27 Καὶ οὐκ ἐλάλησε Κύριος ἐξαλεῖψαι τὸ σπέρμα Ἰσραὴλ ὑποκάτωθεν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ· καὶ ἔσωσεν αὐτοὺς διὰ χειρὸς Ἱεροβοὰμ υἱοῦ Ἰωάς.

27 Yahweh didn’t say that he would blot out the name of Israel from under the sky; but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.

28 Καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ἱεροβοὰμ καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησε, καὶ αἱ δυναστεῖαι αὐτοῦ, ὅσα ἐπολέμησε, καὶ ὅσα ἐπέστρεψε τὴν Δαμασκὸν, καὶ τὴν Αἰμὰθ τῷ Ἰούδα ἐν Ἰσραὴλ, οὐχὶ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν Ἰσραήλ;

28 Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might, how he fought, and how he recovered Damascus, and Hamath, which had belonged to Judah, for Israel, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

29 Καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Ἱεροβοὰμ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ μετὰ βασιλέων Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἐβασίλευσε Ζαχαρίας υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ.

29 Jeroboam slept with his fathers, even with the kings of Israel; and Zechariah his son reigned in his place.
