Notes on this text (2)
- The Old Testament is translated from the Hebrew, not from the Septuagint read in the Orthodox Church; there are no deuterocanonical books.
- Katharevousa (learned 19th-century Greek), as in the CrossWire module (text from theword.gr).
1 Εν τω τριακοστώ έκτω έτει της βασιλείας του Ασά, ο Βαασά βασιλεύς του Ισραήλ ανέβη εναντίον του Ιούδα και ωκοδόμησε την Ραμά, διά να μη αφίνη μηδένα να εξέρχηται μηδέ να εισέρχηται προς τον Ασά βασιλέα του Ιούδα.
1 In the thirty-sixth year of Asa’s reign, Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not allow anyone to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
2 Τότε ο Ασά εξέφερεν αργύριον και χρυσίον εκ των θησαυρών του οίκου του Κυρίου και του οίκου του βασιλέως, και απέστειλε προς τον Βεν-αδάδ βασιλέα της Συρίας, κατοικούντα εν Δαμασκώ, λέγων,
2 Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of Yahweh’s house and of the king’s house, and sent to Ben Hadad king of Syria, who lived at Damascus, saying,
3 Ας γείνη συνθήκη αναμέσον εμού και σου, ως ήτο και αναμέσον του πατρός μου και του πατρός σου· ιδού, απέστειλα προς σε αργύριον και χρυσίον· ύπαγε, διάλυσον την συνθήκην σου την προς Βαασά βασιλέα του Ισραήλ, διά να αναχωρήση απ' εμού.
3 “Let there be a treaty between me and you, as there was between my father and your father. Behold, I have sent you silver and gold. Go, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.”
4 Και εισήκουσεν ο Βεν-αδάδ εις τον βασιλέα Ασά, και απέστειλε τους αρχηγούς των δυνάμεων αυτού εναντίον των πόλεων του Ισραήλ· και επάταξαν την Ιϊών και την Δαν και την Αβέλ-μαΐμ και πάσας τας αποθήκας των πόλεων Νεφθαλί.
4 Ben Hadad listened to King Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel; and they struck Ijon, Dan, Abel Maim, and all the storage cities of Naphtali.
5 Και ως ήκουσεν ο Βαασά, έπαυσε να οικοδομή την Ραμά και κατέλιπε το έργον αυτού.
5 When Baasha heard of it, he stopped building Ramah, and let his work cease.
6 Και παρέλαβεν ο βασιλεύς Ασά πάντα τον Ιούδαν, και εσήκωσαν τους λίθους της Ραμά και τα ξύλα αυτής, με τα οποία ωκοδόμει ο Βαασά· και με ταύτα ωκοδόμησε την Γαβαά και την Μισπά.
6 Then Asa the king took all Judah, and they carried away the stones and timber of Ramah, with which Baasha had built; and he built Geba and Mizpah with them.
7 Κατ' εκείνον δε τον καιρόν Ανανί ο βλέπων ήλθε προς Ασά τον βασιλέα του Ιούδα και είπε προς αυτόν, Επειδή επεστηρίχθης επί τον βασιλέα της Συρίας και δεν επεστηρίχθης επί Κύριον τον Θεόν σου, διά τούτο εξέφυγε το στράτευμα του βασιλέως της Συρίας από της χειρός σου·
7 At that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said to him, “Because you have relied on the king of Syria, and have not relied on Yahweh your God, therefore the army of the king of Syria has escaped out of your hand.
8 οι Αιθίοπες και οι Λίβυες δεν ήσαν στράτευμα μέγα, μετά πολυαρίθμων αμαξών και ιππέων; επειδή όμως επεστηρίχθης εις τον Κύριον, παρέδωκεν αυτούς εις την χείρα σου·
8 Weren’t the Ethiopians and the Lubim a huge army, with chariots and exceedingly many horsemen? Yet, because you relied on Yahweh, he delivered them into your hand.
9 διότι οι οφθαλμοί του Κυρίου περιτρέχουσι διά πάσης της γης, διά να δειχθή δυνατός υπέρ των εχόντων την καρδίαν αυτών τελείαν προς αυτόν· εις τούτο έπραξας αφρόνως· διά τούτο θέλεις έχει πολέμους εις το εξής.
9 For Yahweh’s eyes run back and forth throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. You have done foolishly in this; for from now on you will have wars.”
10 Και ωργίσθη ο Ασά κατά του βλέποντος και έβαλεν αυτόν εις φυλακήν· διότι ηγανάκτησεν εναντίον αυτού διά τούτο. Και κατέθλιψεν ο Ασά τινάς εκ του λαού εν εκείνω τω καιρώ.
10 Then Asa was angry with the seer, and put him in the prison; for he was in a rage with him because of this thing. Asa oppressed some of the people at the same time.
11 Και ιδού, αι πράξεις του Ασά, αι πρώται και αι έσχαται, ιδού, είναι γεγραμμέναι εν τω βιβλίω των βασιλέων του Ιούδα και του Ισραήλ.
11 Behold, the acts of Asa, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
12 Ηρρώστησε δε ο Ασά τους πόδας αυτού εν τω τριακοστώ εννάτω έτει της βασιλείας αυτού, εωσού η αρρωστία αυτού έγεινε μεγίστη· αλλ' ουδέ εν τη αρρωστία αυτού εξεζήτησε τον Κύριον, αλλά τους ιατρούς.
12 In the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa was diseased in his feet. His disease was exceedingly great; yet in his disease he didn’t seek Yahweh, but just the physicians.
13 Και εκοιμήθη ο Ασά μετά των πατέρων αυτού· και απέθανεν εν τω τεσσαρακοστώ πρώτω έτει της βασιλείας αυτού.
13 Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the forty-first year of his reign.
14 Και έθαψαν αυτόν εις τον τάφον αυτού, τον οποίον έσκαψε δι' εαυτόν εν πόλει Δαβίδ, και έθεσαν αυτόν επί κλίνης πλήρους ευωδίας και διαφόρων αρωμάτων μυρεψικών· και έκαμον εις αυτόν καύσιν μεγάλην σφόδρα.
14 They buried him in his own tomb, which he had dug out for himself in David’s city, and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odors and various kinds of spices prepared by the perfumers’ art; and they made a very great fire for him.
