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 ελάλησεν ο Ελισσαιέ προς την γυναίκα, της οποίας ανεζωοποίησε τον υιόν, λέγων, Σηκώθητι και ύπαγε, συ και ο οίκός σου, και παροίκησον όπου αν δυνηθής να παροικήσης· διότι ο Κύριος εκάλεσε την πείναν, και θέλει μάλιστα επέλθει επί την γην επτά έτη.
1 Now Elisha had spoken to the woman whose son he had restored to life, saying, “Arise, and go, you and your household, and stay for a while wherever you can; for Yahweh has called for a famine. It will also come on the land for seven years.”
2 Και σηκωθείσα η γυνή, έκαμε κατά τον λόγον του ανθρώπου του Θεού· και υπήγεν αυτή και ο οίκος αυτής, και παρώκησεν εν τη γη των Φιλισταίων επτά έτη.
2 The woman arose, and did according to the man of God’s word. She went with her household, and lived in the land of the Philistines for seven years.
3 Μετά δε το τέλος των επτά ετών, επέστρεψεν η γυνή εκ της γης των Φιλισταίων· και εξήλθε να βοήση προς τον βασιλέα περί της οικίας αυτής και περί των αγρών αυτής.
3 At the end of seven years, the woman returned from the land of the Philistines. Then she went out to beg the king for her house and for her land.
4 Και ελάλησεν ο βασιλεύς προς τον Γιεζεί, τον υπηρέτην του ανθρώπου του Θεού, λέγων, Διηγήθητί μοι, παρακαλώ, πάντα τα μεγαλεία τα οποία έκαμεν ο Ελισσαιέ.
4 Now the king was talking with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, “Please tell me all the great things that Elisha has done.”
5 Και ενώ διηγείτο προς τον βασιλέα πως ανεζωοποίησε τον νεκρόν, ιδού, η γυνή, της οποίας τον υιόν είχεν αναζωοποιήσει, εβόησε προς τον βασιλέα περί της οικίας αυτής και περί των αγρών αυτής. Και είπεν ο Γιεζεί, Κύριέ μου βασιλεύ, αύτη είναι η γυνή και ούτος ο υιός αυτής, τον οποίον ανεζωοποίησεν ο Ελισσαιέ.
5 As he was telling the king how he had restored to life him who was dead, behold, the woman whose son he had restored to life begged the king for her house and for her land. Gehazi said, “My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life.”
6 Και ηρώτησεν ο βασιλεύς την γυναίκα, και αυτή διηγήθη το πράγμα προς αυτόν. Τότε έδωκεν εις αυτήν ο βασιλεύς ευνούχον, λέγων, Επίστρεψον πάντα τα πράγματα αυτής και πάντα τα προϊόντα των αγρών αυτής, αφ' ης ημέρας αφήκε την γην μέχρι του νυν.
6 When the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed to her a certain officer, saying, “Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land, even until now.”
7 Ο δε Ελισσαιέ ήλθεν εις Δαμασκόν. Και Βεν-αδάδ ο βασιλεύς της Συρίας ήτο άρρωστος· και απήγγειλαν προς αυτόν, λέγοντες, Ο άνθρωπος του Θεού ήλθεν έως εδώ.
7 Elisha came to Damascus; and Benhadad the king of Syria was sick. He was told, “The man of God has come here.”
8 Και είπεν ο βασιλεύς προς τον Αζαήλ, Λάβε εις την χείρα σου δώρον και ύπαγε εις συνάντησιν του ανθρώπου του Θεού και ερώτησον δι' αυτού τον Κύριον, λέγων, Θέλω αναλάβει εκ της αρρωστίας ταύτης;
8 The king said to Hazael, “Take a present in your hand, and go meet the man of God, and inquire of Yahweh by him, saying, ‘Will I recover from this sickness?’”
9 Και υπήγεν ο Αζαήλ εις συνάντησιν αυτού, λαβών δώρον εις την χείρα αυτού και από παντός αγαθού της Δαμασκού, τεσσαράκοντα καμήλων φορτίον· και ελθών εστάθη έμπροσθεν αυτού και είπεν, Ο υιός σου Βεν-αδάδ, ο βασιλεύς της Συρίας, με απέστειλε προς σε, λέγων, Θέλω αναλάβει εκ της αρρωστίας ταύτης;
9 So Hazael went to meet him and took a present with him, even of every good thing of Damascus, forty camels’ burden, and came and stood before him and said, “Your son Benhadad king of Syria has sent me to you, saying, ‘Will I recover from this sickness?’”
10 Και είπε προς αυτόν ο Ελισσαιέ, Ύπαγε, ειπέ προς αυτόν, Ναι, θέλεις αναλάβει πλην ο Κύριος έδειξεν εις εμέ ότι εξάπαντος θέλει αποθάνει.
10 Elisha said to him, “Go, tell him, ‘You will surely recover;’ however Yahweh has shown me that he will surely die.”
11 Και έστησε το πρόσωπον αυτού ακίνητον, εωσού ερυθρίασε· και έκλαυσεν ο άνθρωπος του Θεού.
11 He settled his gaze steadfastly on him, until he was ashamed. Then the man of God wept.
12 Και είπεν ο Αζαήλ, Διά τι κλαίεις, κύριέ μου; Ο δε απεκρίθη, Διότι εξεύρω όσα κακά θέλεις κάμει εις τους υιούς Ισραήλ· τα οχυρώματα αυτών θέλεις παραδώσει εις πυρ, και τους νέους αυτών θέλεις αποκτείνει εν ρομφαία, και τα νήπια αυτών θέλεις συντρίψει, και τας εγκυμονούσας αυτών θέλεις διασχίσει.
12 Hazael said, “Why do you weep, my lord?” He answered, “Because I know the evil that you will do to the children of Israel. You will set their strongholds on fire, and you will kill their young men with the sword, and will dash their little ones in pieces, and rip up their pregnant women.”
13 Και είπεν ο Αζαήλ, Αλλά τι είναι ο δούλός σου, ο κύων, ώστε να κάμη το μέγα τούτο πράγμα; Και είπεν ο Ελισσαιέ, Ο Κύριος έδειξεν εις εμέ, ότι συ θέλεις βασιλεύσει επί της Συρίας.
13 Hazael said, “But what is your servant, who is but a dog, that he could do this great thing?” Elisha answered, “Yahweh has shown me that you will be king over Syria.”
14 Τότε ανεχώρησεν από του Ελισσαιέ και ήλθε προς τον κύριον αυτού· ο δε είπε προς αυτόν, Τι σοι είπεν ο Ελισσαιέ; Και απεκρίθη, Μοι είπε, Ναι, θέλεις αναλάβει.
14 Then he departed from Elisha, and came to his master, who said to him, “What did Elisha say to you?” He answered, “He told me that you would surely recover.”
15 Την δε ακόλουθον ημέραν έλαβε το σκέπασμα και εμβάψας εις ύδωρ, εξήπλωσεν επί του προσώπου αυτού· και απέθανε· και αντ' αυτού εβασίλευσεν ο Αζαήλ.
15 On the next day, he took a thick cloth, dipped it in water, and spread it on the king’s face, so that he died. Then Hazael reigned in his place.
16 Εν δε τω πέμπτω έτει του Ιωράμ, υιού του Αχαάβ βασιλέως του Ισραήλ, βασιλεύοντος Ιωσαφάτ επί του Ιούδα, εβασίλευσεν Ιωράμ, ο υιός του Ιωσαφάτ βασιλέως του Ιούδα.
16 In the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being king of Judah then, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign.
17 Τριάκοντα δύο ετών ηλικίας ήτο ότε εβασίλευσεν· εβασίλευσε δε οκτώ έτη εν Ιερουσαλήμ.
17 He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign. He reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
18 Και περιεπάτησεν εν τη οδώ των βασιλέων του Ισραήλ, καθώς έπραξεν ο οίκος του Αχαάβ· διότι η θυγάτηρ του Αχαάβ ήτο γυνή αυτού· και έπραξε πονηρά ενώπιον του Κυρίου.
18 He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did Ahab’s house, for he married Ahab’s daughter. He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight.
19 Αλλ' ο Κύριος δεν ηθέλησε να εξολοθρεύση τον Ιούδαν, χάριν Δαβίδ του δούλου αυτού, καθώς είπε προς αυτόν ότι θέλει δώσει εις αυτόν λύχνον και εις τους υιούς αυτού εις τον αιώνα.
19 However, Yahweh would not destroy Judah, for David his servant’s sake, as he promised him to give to him a lamp for his children always.
20 Εν ταις ημέραις αυτού απεστάτησεν ο Εδώμ από της υποταγής του Ιούδα, και κατέστησαν βασιλέα εφ' εαυτών.
20 In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.
21 Όθεν διέβη ο Ιωράμ εις Σαείρ, και πάσαι αι άμαξαι μετ' αυτού· και σηκωθείς διά νυκτός, επάταξε τους Ιδουμαίους τους κύκλω αυτού και τους αμαξάρχας· ο δε λαός έφυγον εις τας σκηνάς αυτών.
21 Then Joram crossed over to Zair, and all his chariots with him; and he rose up by night and struck the Edomites who surrounded him with the captains of the chariots; and the people fled to their tents.
22 Πλην ο Εδώμ απεστάτησεν από της υποταγής του Ιούδα, έως της ημέρας ταύτης. Τότε κατά τον αυτόν καιρόν απεστάτησεν η Λιβνά.
22 So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time.
23 Αι δε λοιπαί πράξεις του Ιωράμ και πάντα όσα έπραξε, δεν είναι γεγραμμένα εν τω βιβλίω των χρονικών των βασιλέων του Ιούδα;
23 The rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
24 Και εκοιμήθη ο Ιωράμ μετά των πατέρων αυτού και ετάφη μετά των πατέρων αυτού εν τη πόλει Δαβίδ· εβασίλευσε δε αντ' αυτού Οχοζίας ο υιός αυτού.
24 Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in David’s city; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his place.
25 Εν τω δωδεκάτω έτει του Ιωράμ, υιού του Αχαάβ βασιλέως του Ισραήλ, εβασίλευσεν Οχοζίας, ο υιός του Ιωράμ βασιλέως του Ιούδα.
25 In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah began to reign.
26 Εικοσιδύο ετών ηλικίας ήτο ο Οχοζίας ότε εβασίλευσεν· εβασίλευσε δε εν έτος εν Ιερουσαλήμ. Και το όνομα της μητρός αυτού ήτο Γοθολία, θυγάτηρ του Αμρί, βασιλέως του Ισραήλ.
26 Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Athaliah the daughter of Omri king of Israel.
27 Και περιεπάτησεν εν τη οδώ του οίκου του Αχαάβ, και έπραξε πονηρά ενώπιον του Κυρίου, καθώς ο οίκος του Αχαάβ· διότι ήτο γαμβρός του οίκου του Αχαάβ.
27 He walked in the way of Ahab’s house and did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, as did Ahab’s house, for he was the son-in-law of Ahab’s house.
28 Και υπήγε μετά του Ιωράμ υιού του Αχαάβ εις πόλεμον εναντίον του Αζαήλ βασιλέως της Συρίας εις Ραμώθ-γαλαάδ· και ετραυμάτισαν οι Σύριοι τον Ιωράμ.
28 He went with Joram the son of Ahab to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth Gilead, and the Syrians wounded Joram.
29 Και επέστρεψεν ο βασιλεύς Ιωράμ διά να ιατρευθή εν Ιεζραέλ από των τραυμάτων, τα οποία οι Σύριοι έκαμον εις αυτόν εν Ραμά, ότε επολέμει εναντίον του Αζαήλ βασιλέως της Συρίας. Οχοζίας δε ο υιός του Ιωράμ, βασιλεύς του Ιούδα, κατέβη διά να ίδη τον Ιωράμ υιόν του Αχαάβ εν Ιεζραέλ, διότι ήτο άρρωστος.
29 King Joram returned to be healed in Jezreel from the wounds which the Syrians had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. Ahaziah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
