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 Και εκοιμήθη ο Ιωσαφάτ μετά των πατέρων αυτού και ετάφη μετά των πατέρων αυτού εν πόλει Δαβίδ· και εβασίλευσεν αντ' αυτού Ιωράμ ο υιός αυτού.
1 Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in David’s city; and Jehoram his son reigned in his place.
2 Και είχεν αδελφούς, υιούς του Ιωσαφάτ, τον Αζαρίαν, και Ιεχιήλ και Ζαχαρίαν και Αζαρίαν και Μιχαήλ και Σεφατίαν· πάντες ούτοι ήσαν υιοί του Ιωσαφάτ βασιλέως του Ισραήλ.
2 He had brothers, the sons of Jehoshaphat: Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariah, Michael, and Shephatiah. All these were the sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel.
3 Και ο πατήρ αυτών έδωκεν εις αυτούς δώρα πολλά αργυρίου και χρυσίου και πολυτίμων πραγμάτων, μετά πόλεων οχυρών εν Ιούδα· την βασιλείαν όμως έδωκεν εις τον Ιωράμ, επειδή ήτο ο πρωτότοκος.
3 Their father gave them great gifts of silver, of gold, and of precious things, with fortified cities in Judah; but he gave the kingdom to Jehoram, because he was the firstborn.
4 Ότε δε ο Ιωράμ υψώθη εις την βασιλείαν του πατρός αυτού και εκραταιώθη, εθανάτωσε πάντας τους αδελφούς αυτού εν ρομφαία και τινάς έτι εκ των αρχόντων του Ισραήλ.
4 Now when Jehoram had risen up over the kingdom of his father, and had strengthened himself, he killed all his brothers with the sword, and also some of the princes of Israel.
5 Τριάκοντα δύο ετών ηλικίας ήτο ο Ιωράμ ότε εβασίλευσε, και εβασίλευσεν οκτώ έτη εν Ιερουσαλήμ.
5 Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
6 Και περιεπάτησεν εν τη οδώ των βασιλέων του Ισραήλ, καθώς έκαμεν ο οίκος του Αχαάβ· διότι θυγάτηρ του Αχαάβ ήτο η γυνή αυτού· και έπραξε πονηρά ενώπιον Κυρίου.
6 He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did Ahab’s house, for he had Ahab’s daughter as his wife. He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight.
7 Αλλ' ο Κύριος δεν ηθέλησε να εξολοθρεύση τον οίκον του Δαβίδ, διά την διαθήκην την οποίαν έκαμε προς τον Δαβίδ, και διότι είπε να δώση λύχνον εις αυτόν και εις τους υιούς αυτού πάντοτε.
7 However Yahweh would not destroy David’s house, because of the covenant that he had made with David, and as he promised to give a lamp to him and to his children always.
8 Εν ταις ημέραις αυτού απεστάτησεν ο Εδώμ από της υποταγής του Ιούδα, και κατέστησαν βασιλέα εφ' εαυτούς.
8 In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.
9 Και διήλθεν ο Ιωράμ μετά των αρχόντων αυτού και πάσαι αι άμαξαι μετ' αυτού· και σηκωθείς διά νυκτός, επάταξε τους Ιδουμαίους τους περικυκλούντας αυτόν και τους άρχοντας των αμαξών.
9 Then Jehoram went there with his captains and all his chariots with him. He rose up by night and struck the Edomites who surrounded him, along with the captains of the chariots.
10 Ούτως απεστάτησεν ο Εδώμ από της υποταγής του Ιούδα έως της ημέρας ταύτης. Τότε κατά τον αυτόν καιρόν απεστάτησε και η Λιβνά από της υποταγής αυτού, επειδή εγκατέλιπε Κύριον τον Θεόν των πατέρων αυτού.
10 So Edom has been in revolt from under the hand of Judah to this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time from under his hand, because he had forsaken Yahweh, the God of his fathers.
11 Αυτός ωκοδόμησεν έτι υψηλούς τόπους επί τα όρη του Ιούδα, και έκαμε τους κατοίκους της Ιερουσαλήμ να πορνεύωσι και απεπλάνησε τον Ιούδαν.
11 Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and made the inhabitants of Jerusalem play the prostitute, and led Judah astray.
12 Και ήλθε προς αυτόν έγγραφον παρά του Ηλία του προφήτου, λέγον, Ούτω λέγει Κύριος ο Θεός του Δαβίδ του πατρός σου· Επειδή δεν περιεπάτησας εν ταις οδοίς Ιωσαφάτ του πατρός σου και εν ταις οδοίς του Ασά βασιλέως του Ιούδα,
12 A letter came to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, “Yahweh, the God of David your father, says, ‘Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat your father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah,
13 αλλά περιεπάτησας εν τη οδώ των βασιλέων του Ισραήλ, και έκαμες τον Ιούδαν και τους κατοίκους της Ιερουσαλήμ να πορνεύσωσι κατά τας πορνείας του οίκου του Αχαάβ, έτι δε εθανάτωσας τους αδελφούς σου, τον οίκον του πατρός σου, τους καλητέρους σου,
13 but have walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and have made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the prostitute like Ahab’s house did, and also have slain your brothers of your father’s house, who were better than yourself,
14 Ιδού, ο Κύριος θέλει πατάξει με πληγήν μεγάλην τον λαόν σου και τα τέκνα σου και τας γυναίκάς σου και πάντα τα υπάρχοντά σου·
14 behold, Yahweh will strike your people with a great plague, including your children, your wives, and all your possessions;
15 και συ θέλεις κτυπηθή με πολλάς αρρωστίας, με αρρωστίαν των εντοσθίων σου, εωσού εξέλθωσι τα εντόσθιά σου εκ της αρρωστίας από ημέρας εις ημέραν.
15 and you will have great sickness with a disease of your bowels, until your bowels fall out by reason of the sickness, day by day.’”
16 Ο Κύριος έτι διήγειρεν εναντίον του Ιωράμ το πνεύμα των Φιλισταίων και των Αράβων, των πλησιοχώρων των Αιθιόπων·
16 Yahweh stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines and of the Arabians who are beside the Ethiopians;
17 και ανέβησαν κατά του Ιούδα και εφώρμησαν επ' αυτόν και διήρπασαν πάντα τα υπάρχοντα τα ευρεθέντα εν τω οίκω του βασιλέως, και τους υιούς αυτού έτι και τας γυναίκας αυτού· ώστε δεν έμεινεν εις αυτόν άλλος υιός, ειμή Ιωάχαζ, ο νεώτερος των υιών αυτού.
17 and they came up against Judah, broke into it, and carried away all the possessions that were found in the king’s house, including his sons and his wives, so that there was no son left to him except Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons.
18 Μετά δε πάντα ταύτα επάταξεν αυτόν ο Κύριος εις τα εντόσθια αυτού με αρρωστίαν ανίατον·
18 After all this Yahweh struck him in his bowels with an incurable disease.
19 και προϊόντος του καιρού, μετά παρέλευσιν δύο ετών, εξήλθον τα εντόσθια αυτού, εκ της αρρωστίας αυτού, και απέθανε με πόνους σκληρούς. Ο δε λαός αυτού δεν έκαμεν εις αυτόν καύσιν, κατά την καύσιν των πατέρων αυτού.
19 In process of time, at the end of two years, his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness, and he died of severe diseases. His people made no burning for him, like the burning of his fathers.
20 Τριάκοντα δύο ετών ηλικίας ήτο ότε εβασίλευσεν· εβασίλευσε δε εν Ιερουσαλήμ οκτώ έτη, και απήλθε χωρίς να ήναι ποθητός· και έθαψαν αυτόν εν πόλει Δαβίδ, πλην ουχί εν τοις τάφοις των βασιλέων.
20 He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years. He departed with no one’s regret. They buried him in David’s city, but not in the tombs of the kings.
