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 δευτέρω έτει του Ιωάς, υιού του Ιωάχαζ βασιλέως του Ισραήλ, εβασίλευσεν Αμασίας, ο υιός του Ιωάς βασιλέως του Ιούδα.
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 Εικοσιπέντε ετών ηλικίας ήτο ότε εβασίλευσε, και εβασίλευσεν εικοσιεννέα έτη εν Ιερουσαλήμ. Το δε όνομα της μητρός αυτού ήτο Ιωαδάν εξ Ιερουσαλήμ.
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 Και έπραξε το ευθές ενώπιον Κυρίου, πλην ουχί ως ο Δαβίδ ο πατήρ αυτού· έπραξε κατά πάντα όσα είχε πράξει Ιωάς ο πατήρ αυτού.
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 Οι υψηλοί όμως τόποι δεν αφηρέθησαν· ο λαός εθυσίαζεν έτι και εθυμίαζεν επί τους υψηλούς τόπους.
4 However the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burned incense in the high places.
5 Ως δε η βασιλεία εκραταιώθη εν τη χειρί αυτού, εθανάτωσε τους δούλους αυτού τους θανατώσαντας τον βασιλέα τον πατέρα αυτού.
5 As soon as the kingdom was established in his hand, he killed his servants who had slain the king his father,
6 Όμως τα τέκνα των φονευτών δεν εθανάτωσε· κατά το γεγραμμένον εν τω βιβλίω του νόμου του Μωϋσέως, όπου προσέταξεν ο Κύριος, λέγων, Οι πατέρες δεν θέλουσι θανατόνεσθαι διά τα τέκνα, ουδέ τα τέκνα θέλουσι θανατόνεσθαι διά τους πατέρας, αλλ' έκαστος θέλει θανατόνεσθαι διά το εαυτού αμάρτημα.
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 Ούτος εθανάτωσεν εκ του Εδώμ δέκα χιλιάδας εν τη κοιλάδι του άλατος, και εκυρίευσε την Σελά διά πολέμου και εκάλεσε το όνομα αυτής Ιοχθεήλ μέχρι της ημέρας 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 απέστειλεν ο Αμασίας μηνυτάς προς τον Ιωάς, υιόν του Ιωάχαζ, υιού του Ιηού βασιλέως του Ισραήλ, λέγων, Ελθέ, να ίδωμεν αλλήλους προσωπικώς.
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 Και απέστειλεν ο Ιωάς βασιλεύς του Ισραήλ προς τον Αμασίαν βασιλέα του Ιούδα, λέγων, Η άκανθα η εν τω Λιβάνω απέστειλε προς την κέδρον την εν τω Λιβάνω, λέγουσα, Δος την θυγατέρα σου εις τον υιόν μου διά γυναίκα· πλην διέβη θηρίον του αγρού το εν τω Λιβάνω, και κατεπάτησε την άκανθαν·
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 επάταξας τωόντι τον Εδώμ, και η καρδία σου σε ύψωσε· χαίρου την δόξαν σου καθήμενος εν τω οίκω σου· διά τι εμπλέκεσαι εις κακόν, διά το οποίον ήθελες πέσει, συ και ο Ιούδας μετά σου;
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 Αλλ' ο Αμασίας δεν υπήκουσεν. Ανέβη λοιπόν ο Ιωάς βασιλεύς του Ισραήλ, και είδον αλλήλους προσωπικώς, αυτός και Αμασίας ο βασιλεύς του Ιούδα, εν Βαιθ-σεμές, ήτις είναι του Ιούδα.
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 Και εκτυπήθη ο Ιούδας έμπροσθεν του Ισραήλ· και έφυγον έκαστος εις τας σκηνάς αυτού.
12 Judah was defeated by Israel; and each man fled to his tent.
13 Και συνέλαβεν ο Ιωάς ο βασιλεύς του Ισραήλ τον Αμασίαν βασιλέα του Ιούδα, υιόν του Ιωάς υιού του Οχοζίου, εν Βαιθ-σεμές· και ελθών εις Ιερουσαλήμ, κατηδάφισε το τείχος της Ιερουσαλήμ από της πύλης Εφραΐμ έως της πύλης της γωνίας, τετρακοσίας πήχας.
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 Και λαβών παν το χρυσίον και το αργύριον και πάντα τα σκεύη τα ευρεθέντα εν τω οίκω του Κυρίου και εν τοις θησαυροίς του οίκου του βασιλέως, και ανθρώπους ενέχυρα, επέστρεψεν εις 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 Αι δε λοιπαί πράξεις του Ιωάς, όσας έπραξε, και τα κατορθώματα αυτού, και πως επολέμησε μετά του Αμασίου βασιλέως του Ιούδα, δεν είναι γεγραμμένα εν τω βιβλίω των χρονικών των βασιλέων του Ισραήλ;
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 Και εκοιμήθη ο Ιωάς μετά των πατέρων αυτού και ετάφη εν Σαμαρεία μετά των βασιλέων του Ισραήλ· εβασίλευσε δε αντ' αυτού Ιεροβοάμ ο υιός αυτού.
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 Ο δε Αμασίας, ο υιός του Ιωάς, ο βασιλεύς του Ιούδα, έζησε μετά τον θάνατον του Ιωάς υιού του Ιωάχαζ, βασιλέως του Ισραήλ, δεκαπέντε έτη.
17 Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel, fifteen years.
18 Αι δε λοιπαί πράξεις του Αμασίου δεν είναι γεγραμμέναι εν τω βιβλίω των χρονικών των βασιλέων του Ιούδα;
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 Έκαμον δε κατ' αυτού συνωμοσίαν εν Ιερουσαλήμ, και έφυγεν εις Λαχείς· απέστειλαν όμως κατόπιν αυτού εις Λαχείς και εθανάτωσαν αυτόν εκεί.
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 Και έφεραν αυτόν επί ίππων, και ετάφη εν Ιερουσαλήμ μετά των πατέρων αυτού, εν τη πόλει Δαβίδ.
20 They brought him on horses, and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in David’s city.
21 Έλαβε δε πας ο λαός του Ιούδα τον Αζαρίαν, όντα ηλικίας δεκαέξ ετών, και έκαμον αυτόν βασιλέα αντί του πατρός αυτού Αμασίου.
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 Και ωκοδόμησε την Ελάθ και επέστρεψεν αυτήν εις τον Ιούδα, αφού ο βασιλεύς εκοιμήθη μετά των πατέρων αυτού.
22 He built Elath and restored it to Judah. After that the king slept with his fathers.
23 Εν τω δεκάτω πέμπτω έτει του Αμασίου, υιού του Ιωάς, βασιλέως του Ιούδα, εβασίλευσεν εν Σαμαρεία ο Ιεροβοάμ υιός του Ιωάς, βασιλέως του Ισραήλ, έτη τεσσαράκοντα και εν.
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 Και έπραξε πονηρά ενώπιον του Κυρίου· δεν απεμακρύνθη από πασών των αμαρτιών του Ιεροβοάμ υιού του Ναβάτ, όστις έκαμε τον Ισραήλ να αμαρτήση.
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 Ούτος αποκατέστησε το όριον του Ισραήλ, από της εισόδου της Αιμάθ έως της θαλάσσης της πεδιάδος, κατά τον λόγον Κυρίου του Θεού του Ισραήλ, τον οποίον ελάλησε διά του δούλου αυτού Ιωνά, υιού του Αμαθί, του προφήτου, του από Γαθ-εφέρ.
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 Διότι είδεν ο Κύριος την θλίψιν του Ισραήλ πικράν σφόδρα, ότι δεν ήτο ουδέν κεκλεισμένον και ουδέν αφειμένον, ουδέ ο βοηθήσων τον Ισραήλ.
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 Και δεν είπεν ο Κύριος να εξαλείψη υποκάτωθεν του ουρανού το όνομα του Ισραήλ, αλλ' έσωσεν αυτούς διά χειρός του Ιεροβοάμ υιού του Ιωάς.
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 Αι δε λοιπαί πράξεις του Ιεροβοάμ και πάντα όσα έπραξε και τα κατορθώματα αυτού, πως επολέμησε και πως επανέλαβε την Δαμασκόν και την Αιμάθ του Ιούδα εις τον Ισραήλ, δεν είναι γεγραμμένα εν τω βιβλίω των χρονικών των βασιλέων του Ισραήλ;
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 Και εκοιμήθη ο Ιεροβοάμ μετά των πατέρων αυτού, μετά των βασιλέων του Ισραήλ· εβασίλευσε δε αντ' αυτού Ζαχαρίας ο υιός αυτού.
29 Jeroboam slept with his fathers, even with the kings of Israel; and Zechariah his son reigned in his place.
