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 ταις ημέραις αυτού ανέβη Ναβουχοδονόσορ ο βασιλεύς της Βαβυλώνος, και ο Ιωακείμ έγεινε δούλος αυτού τρία έτη· έπειτα εστράφη και απεστάτησε κατ' αυτού.
1 In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant for three years. Then he turned and rebelled against him.
2 Και απέστειλεν ο Κύριος εναντίον αυτού τα τάγματα των Χαλδαίων και τα τάγματα των Συρίων και τα τάγματα των Μωαβιτών και τα τάγματα των υιών Αμμών, και απέστειλεν αυτούς εναντίον του Ιούδα, διά να καταστρέψωσιν αυτόν· κατά τον λόγον του Κυρίου, τον οποίον ελάλησε διά χειρός των δούλων αυτού των προφητών.
2 Yahweh sent against him bands of the Chaldeans, bands of the Syrians, bands of the Moabites, and bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to Yahweh’s word which he spoke by his servants the prophets.
3 Τω όντι κατά προσταγήν του Κυρίου έγεινε τούτο εις τον Ιούδαν, διά να αποβάλη αυτόν από προσώπου αυτού, διά τας αμαρτίας του Μανασσή, κατά πάντα όσα έπραξε·
3 Surely at the commandment of Yahweh this came on Judah, to remove them out of his sight for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did,
4 και έτι διά το αθώον αίμα το οποίον έχυσε, διότι εγέμισε την Ιερουσαλήμ αίμα αθώον· και δεν ηθέλησεν ο Κύριος να συγχωρήση αυτόν.
4 and also for the innocent blood that he shed; for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and Yahweh would not pardon.
5 Αι δε λοιπαί πράξεις του Ιωακείμ και πάντα όσα έπραξε, δεν είναι γεγραμμένα εν τω βιβλίω των χρονικών των βασιλέων του Ιούδα;
5 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
6 Και εκοιμήθη ο Ιωακείμ μετά των πατέρων αυτού, και εβασίλευσεν αντ' αυτού Ιωαχείν ο υιός αυτού.
6 So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers, and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place.
7 Ο δε βασιλεύς της Αιγύπτου δεν εξήλθε πλέον εκ της γης αυτού· διότι ο βασιλεύς της Βαβυλώνος έλαβεν, από του ποταμού της Αιγύπτου μέχρι του ποταμού Ευφράτου, πάντα όσα ήσαν του βασιλέως της Αιγύπτου.
7 The king of Egypt didn’t come out of his land any more; for the king of Babylon had taken, from the brook of Egypt to the river Euphrates, all that belonged to the king of Egypt.
8 Δεκαοκτώ ετών ηλικίας ήτο ο Ιωαχείν, ότε εβασίλευσε· και εβασίλευσε τρεις μήνας εν Ιερουσαλήμ· το δε όνομα της μητρός αυτού ήτο Νεουσθά, θυγάτηρ του Ελναθάν εξ Ιερουσαλήμ.
8 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. His mother’s name was Nehushta the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.
9 Και έπραξε πονηρά ενώπιον του Κυρίου, κατά πάντα όσα έπραξεν ο πατήρ αυτού.
9 He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, according to all that his father had done.
10 Κατ' εκείνον τον καιρόν ανέβησαν οι δούλοι του Ναβουχοδονόσορ βασιλέως της Βαβυλώνος επί την Ιερουσαλήμ και επολιόρκησαν την πόλιν.
10 At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up to Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.
11 Και ήλθε Ναβουχοδονόσορ ο βασιλεύς της Βαβυλώνος κατά της πόλεως, και οι δούλοι αυτού επολιόρκουν αυτήν.
11 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to the city while his servants were besieging it,
12 Και εξήλθεν ο Ιωαχείν βασιλεύς του Ιούδα προς τον βασιλέα της Βαβυλώνος, αυτός και η μήτηρ αυτού και οι δούλοι αυτού και οι άρχοντες αυτού και οι ευνούχοι αυτού· και συνέλαβεν αυτόν ο βασιλεύς της Βαβυλώνος, εν τω ογδόω έτει της βασιλείας αυτού.
12 and Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon—he, his mother, his servants, his princes, and his officers; and the king of Babylon captured him in the eighth year of his reign.
13 Και εξήγαγεν εκείθεν πάντας τους θησαυρούς του οίκου του Κυρίου και τους θησαυρούς του οίκου του βασιλέως, και κατέκοψε πάντα τα σκεύη τα χρυσά, τα οποία έκαμε Σολομών ο βασιλεύς του Ισραήλ εν τω ναώ, του Κυρίου, καθώς ελάλησεν ο Κύριος.
13 He carried out from there all the treasures of Yahweh’s house and the treasures of the king’s house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold which Solomon king of Israel had made in Yahweh’s temple, as Yahweh had said.
14 Και μετώκισε πάσαν την Ιερουσαλήμ και πάντας τους άρχοντας και πάντας τους δυνατούς πολεμιστάς, δέκα χιλιάδας αιχμαλώτων, και πάντας τους ξυλουργούς και σιδηρουργούς· δεν έμεινεν ειμή το πτωχότερον μέρος του λαού της γης.
14 He carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valor, even ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and the smiths. No one remained except the poorest people of the land.
15 Και μετώκισε τον Ιωαχείν εις την Βαβυλώνα· και την μητέρα του βασιλέως και τας γυναίκας του βασιλέως και τους ευνούχους αυτού και τους δυνατούς της γης έφερεν αιχμαλώτους εξ Ιερουσαλήμ εις την Βαβυλώνα·
15 He carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, with the king’s mother, the king’s wives, his officers, and the chief men of the land. He carried them into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon.
16 και πάντας τους πολεμιστάς, επτά χιλιάδας, και τους ξυλουργούς και τους σιδηρουργούς, χιλίους, πάντας δυνατούς και επιτηδείους εις πόλεμον· και μετώκισεν αυτούς εις Βαβυλώνα ο βασιλεύς της Βαβυλώνος.
16 All the men of might, even seven thousand, and the craftsmen and the smiths one thousand, all of them strong and fit for war, even them the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon.
17 Και έκαμεν ο βασιλεύς της Βαβυλώνος βασιλέα, αντ' αυτού, Ματθανίαν τον αδελφόν του πατρός αυτού, και μετήλλαξε το όνομα αυτού εις Σεδεκίαν.
17 The king of Babylon made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin’s father’s brother, king in his place, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
18 Ενός και είκοσι ετών ηλικίας ήτο ο Σεδεκίας, ότε εβασίλευσεν· εβασίλευσε δε ένδεκα έτη εν Ιερουσαλήμ· το δε όνομα της μητρός αυτού ήτο Αμουτάλ, θυγάτηρ του Ιερεμίου από Λιβνά.
18 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
19 Και έπραξε πονηρά ενώπιον του Κυρίου, κατά πάντα όσα έπραξεν ο Ιωακείμ·
19 He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
20 διότι εξ οργής του Κυρίου κατά της Ιερουσαλήμ και του Ιούδα, εωσού απέρριψεν αυτούς από προσώπου αυτού, έγεινε να αποστατήση ο Σεδεκίας κατά του βασιλέως της Βαβυλώνος.
20 For through the anger of Yahweh, this happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence. Then Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
