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 Εικοσιπέντε ετών ηλικίας ήτο ο Ιωθάμ ότε εβασίλευσε· και εβασίλευσε δεκαέξ έτη εν Ιερουσαλήμ· το δε όνομα της μητρός αυτού ήτο Ιερουσά, θυγάτηρ του Σαδώκ.
1 Jotham was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jerushah the daughter of Zadok.
2 Και έπραξε το ευθές ενώπιον Κυρίου, κατά πάντα όσα έπραξεν Οζίας ο πατήρ αυτού· δεν εισήλθεν όμως εις τον ναόν του Κυρίου. Και ο λαός ήτο έτι διεφθαρμένος.
2 He did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, according to all that his father Uzziah had done. However he didn’t enter into Yahweh’s temple. The people still acted corruptly.
3 Ούτος ωκοδόμησε την υψηλήν πύλην του οίκου του Κυρίου· και επί του τείχους του Οφήλ ωκοδόμησε πολλά.
3 He built the upper gate of Yahweh’s house, and he built much on the wall of Ophel.
4 Ωικοδόμησεν έτι πόλεις εν τη ορεινή του Ιούδα, και εν τοις δρυμοίς ωκοδόμησε φρούρια και πύργους.
4 Moreover he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and in the forests he built fortresses and towers.
5 Και πολεμήσας με τον βασιλέα των υιών Αμμών, υπερίσχυσεν εναντίον αυτών. Και κατ' εκείνον τον ενιαυτόν οι υιοί Αμμών έδωκαν εις αυτόν εκατόν τάλαντα αργυρίου και δέκα χιλιάδας κόρων σίτου και δέκα χιλιάδας κριθής. Τόσα επλήρωσαν εις αυτόν οι υιοί Αμμών και το δεύτερον έτος και το τρίτον.
5 He also fought with the king of the children of Ammon, and prevailed against them. The children of Ammon gave him the same year one hundred talents of silver, ten thousand cors of wheat, and ten thousand cors of barley. The children of Ammon also gave that much to him in the second year, and in the third.
6 Και εκραταιώθη ο Ιωθάμ, επειδή κατεύθυνε τας οδούς αυτού ενώπιον Κυρίου του Θεού αυτού.
6 So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before Yahweh his God.
7 Αι δε λοιπαί πράξεις του Ιωθάμ και πάντες οι πόλεμοι αυτού, και αι οδοί αυτού, ιδού, είναι γεγραμμένοι εν τω βιβλίω των βασιλέων του Ισραήλ και Ιούδα.
7 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars and his ways, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
8 Εικοσιπέντε ετών ηλικίας ήτο ότε εβασίλευσε, και εβασίλευσε δεκαέξ έτη εν Ιερουσαλήμ.
8 He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
9 Και εκοιμήθη ο Ιωθάμ μετά των πατέρων αυτού, και έθαψαν αυτόν εν πόλει Δαβίδ· εβασίλευσε δε αντ' αυτού Άχαζ ο υιός αυτού.
9 Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in David’s city; and Ahaz his son reigned in his place.
