2 Chronicles 28

DOUAI-RHEIMS	GREEK BIBLE
1 Achaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: he did not that which was right in the sight of the Lord as David his father had done,	1 Εικοσι ετων ηλικιας ητο ο Αχαζ οτε εβασιλευσε, και εβασιλευσε δεκαεξ ετη εν Ιερουσαλημ? δεν επραξεν ομως το ευθες ενωπιον Κυριου, ως ο Δαβιδ ο πατηρ αυτου?
2 But walked in the ways of the kings of Israel; moreover also he cast statues for Baalim.	2 αλλα περιεπατησεν εν ταις οδοις των βασιλεων του Ισραηλ και εκαμεν ετι ειδωλα χωνευτα εις τους Βααλειμ.
3 It was he that burnt incense in the valley of Benennom, and consecrated his sons in the fire according to the manner of the nations, which the Lord slew at the coming of the children of Israel.	3 Και αυτος εθυμιασεν εν τη κοιλαδι του υιου Εννομ και διεβιβασε τα τεκνα αυτου δια του πυρος, κατα τα βδελυγματα των εθνων τα οποια εξεδιωξεν ο Κυριος απ' εμπροσθεν των υιων Ισραηλ.
4 He sacrificed also, and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.	4 Και εθυσιαζε και εθυμιαζεν επι τους υψηλους τοπους και επι τους λοφους και υποκατω παντος δενδρου πρασινου.
5 And the Lord his God delivered him into the hands of the king of Syria, who defeated him, and took a great booty out of his kingdom, and carried it to Damascus: he was also delivered into the hands of the king of Israel, who overthrew him with a great slaughter.	5 Δια τουτο παρεδωκεν αυτον Κυριος ο Θεος αυτου εις την χειρα του βασιλεως της Συριας? και επαταξαν αυτον, και ελαβον αιχμαλωτους μεγα πληθος εξ αυτων και εφεραν αυτους εις Δαμασκον. Και παρεδοθη ετι εις την χειρα του βασιλεως του Ισραηλ, οστις επαταξεν αυτον εν σφαγη μεγαλη.
6 For Phacee the son of Romelia slew of Juda a hundred and twenty thousand in one day, all valiant men: because they had forsaken the Lord the God of their fathers.	6 Διοτι Φεκα ο υιος του Ρεμαλια εθανατωσεν εκ του Ιουδα εκατον εικοσι χιλιαδας εν μια ημερα, παντας δυνατους εν ισχυι, επειδη εγκατελιπον Κυριον τον Θεον των πατερων αυτων.
7 At the same time Zechri a powerful man of Ephraim, slew Maasias the king's son, and Ezricam the governor of his house, and Elcana who was next to the king.	7 Και Ζιχρι, ανηρ δυνατος εκ του Εφραιμ, εθανατωσε Μαασιαν τον υιον του βασιλεως και Αζρικαμ τον επιστατην του παλατιου και Ελκανα τον δευτερον μετα τον βασιλεα.
8 And the children of Israel carried away of their brethren two hundred thousand women, boys, and girls, and an immense booty: and they brought it to Samaria.	8 Και ηχμαλωτισαν οι υιοι Ισραηλ εκ των αδελφων αυτων διακοσιας χιλιαδας, γυναικας, υιους και θυγατερας, και ελαβον ετι λαφυρα πολλα εξ αυτων και εφεραν τα λαφυρα εις Σαμαρειαν.
9 At that time there was a prophet of the Lord there, whose name was Oded: and he went out to meet the army that came to Samaria, and said to them: Behold the Lord the God of your fathers being angry with Juda, hath delivered them into your hands, and you have butchered them cruelly, so that your cruelty hath reached up to heaven.	9 Ητο δε εκει προφητης του Κυριου, ονομαζομενος Ωδηδ? και εξηλθεν εις απαντησιν του στρατευματος του ερχομενου εις Σαμαρειαν και ειπε προς αυτους, Ιδου, επειδη Κυριος ο Θεος των πατερων σας εθυμωθη κατα του Ιουδα, παρεδωκεν αυτους εις την χειρα σας? και σεις εθανατωσατε αυτους εν μανια, ητις εφθασεν εως του ουρανου?
10 Moreover you have a mind to keep under the children of Juda and Jerusalem for your bondmen and bondwomen, which ought not to be done : for you have sinned in this against the Lord your God.	10 και τωρα λεγετε να υποταξητε εις εαυτους τους υιους Ιουδα και της Ιερουσαλημ δια δουλους και δουλας? δεν ειναι με σας, με σας μαλιστα, αμαρτιαι εναντιον Κυριου του Θεου σας;
11 But hear ye my counsel, and release the captives that you have brought of your brethren, because a great indignation of the Lord hangeth over you.	11 τωρα λοιπον ακουσατε μου και επιστρεψατε τους αιχμαλωτους, τους οποιους ηχμαλωτισατε εκ των αδελφων σας? διοτι οργη θυμου Κυριου επικειται εις εσας.
12 Then some of the chief men of the sons of Ephraim, Azarias the son of Johanan, Barachias the son of Mosollamoth, Ezechias the son of Sellum, and Amasa the son of Adali, stood up against them that came from the war.	12 Και εσηκωθησαν τινες εκ των αρχοντων των υιων Εφραιμ, Αζαριας ο υιος του Ιωαναν, Βαραχιας ο υιος του Μεσιλλεμωθ και Εζεκιας ο υιος του Σαλλουμ και Αμασα ο υιος του Αδλαι εναντιον των ερχομενων απο του πολεμου,
13 And they said to them: You shall not bring in the captives hither, lest we sin against the Lord. Why will you add to our sins, and heap up upon our former offences? for the sin is great, and the fierce anger of the Lord hangeth over Israel.	13 και ειπον προς αυτους, Δεν θελετε εισαξει εδω τους αιχμαλωτους? διοτι ενω ηνομησαμεν εις Κυριον, θελετε να προσθεσητε εις τας αμαρτιας ημων και εις τας ανομιας ημων? διοτι μεγαλη ειναι ανομια ημων, και οργη θυμου επικειται επι τον Ισραηλ.
14 So the soldiers left the spoils, and all that they had taken, before the princes and all the multitude.	14 Και αφηκαν οι πολεμισται τους αιχμαλωτους και τα λαφυρα ενωπιον των αρχοντων και πασης της συναξεως.
15 And the men, whom we mentioned above, rose up and took the captives, and with the spoils clothed all them that were naked: and when they had clothed and shed them, and refreshed them with meat and drink, and anointed them because of their labour, and had taken care of them, they set such of them as could not walk, and were feeble, upon beasts, and brought them to Jericho the city of palm trees to their brethren, and they returned to Samaria.	15 Και σηκωθεντες οι ανδρες, οι ονομασθεντες κατ' ονομα, ελαβον τους αιχμαλωτους και παντας τους γυμνους αυτων ενεδυσαν εκ των λαφυρων? και αφου ενεδυσαν αυτους και υπεδηματωσαν αυτους και εδωκαν εις αυτους να φαγωσι και να πιωσι και ηλειψαν αυτους, και παντας τους αδυνατους εξ αυτων μετεκομισαν επι ονους και εφεραν αυτους εις Ιεριχω, την πολιν των φοινικων, προς τους αδελφους αυτων? και επεστρεψαν εις Σαμαρειαν.
16 At that time king Achaz sent to the king of the Assyrians asking help.	16 Κατα τον καιρον εκεινον ο βασιλευς Αχαζ απεστειλε προς τους βασιλεις της Ασσυριας, δια να βοηθησωσιν αυτον.
17 And the Edomites came and slew many of Juda, and took a great booty.	17 Διοτι ελθοντες παλιν οι Ιδουμαιοι επαταξαν τον Ιουδαν και ελαβον αιχμαλωτους.
18 The Philistines also spread themselves among the cities of the plains, and to the south of Juda: and they took Bethsames, and Aialon, and Gaderoth, and Socho, and Thamnan, and Gamzo, with their villages, and they dwelt in them.	18 Και εφορμησαντες οι Φιλισταιοι εις τας πολεις της πεδινης και της μεσημβρινης του Ιουδα? εκυριευσαν την Βαιθ-σεμες και την Αιαλων και την Γεδηρωθ, και την Σοκχω και τας κωμας αυτης, και την Θαμνα και τας κωμας αυτης, και την Γιμζω και ταις κωμας αυτης? και κατωκησαν εκει.
19 For the Lord had humbled Juda because of Achaz the king of Juda, for he had stripped it of help, and had contemned the Lord.	19 Διοτι ο Κυριος εταπεινωσε τον Ιουδαν δια τον Αχαζ βασιλεα του Ισραηλ? επειδη διεφθειρε τον Ιουδαν και ησεβησε σφοδρα εις τον Κυριον.
20 And he brought, against him Thelgathphalnasar king of the Assyrians, who also afflicted him, and plundered him without any resistance.	20 Και ηλθε προς αυτον ο Θελγαθ-φελνασαρ, βασιλευς της Ασσυριας, και κατεθλιψεν αυτον αντι να ενδυναμωση αυτον.
21 And Achaz stripped the house of the Lord, and the house of the kings, and of the princes, and gave gifts to the king of the Assyrians, and yet it availed him nothing.	21 Διοτι ο Αχαζ, λαβων τους θησαυρους του οικου του Κυριου και του οικου του βασιλεως και των αρχοντων, εδωκεν εις τον βασιλεα της Ασσυριας? πλην ουχι εις βοηθειαν αυτου.
22 Moreover also in the time of his distress he increased contempt against the Lord: king Achaz himself by himself,	22 Και εν τω καιρω της στενοχωριας αυτου ετι μαλλον παρηνομησεν εις τον Κυριον αυτος ο βασιλευς Αχαζ.
23 Sacrificed victims to the gods of Damascus that struck him, and he said: The gods of the kings of Syria help them, and I will appease them with victims, and they will help me; whereas on the contrary they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel.	23 Και εθυσιαζεν εις τους θεους της Δαμασκου, τους παταξαντας αυτον? και ελεγεν, Επειδη οι θεοι του βασιλεως της Συριας βοηθουσιν αυτους, εις τουτους θελω θυσιασει, δια να βοηθησωσι και εμε. Εκεινοι ομως εσταθησαν η φθορα αυτου και παντος του Ισραηλ.
24 Then Achaz having taken away all the vessels of the house of God, and broken them, shut up the doors of the temple of God, and made himself altars in all the corners of Jerusalem.	24 Και συνηθροισεν ο Αχαζ τα σκευη του οικου του Θεου, και κατεκοψε τα σκευη του οικου του Θεου και εκλεισε τας θυρας του οικου του Κυριου, και εκαμεν εις εαυτον θυσιαστηρια εν παση γωνια εν Ιερουσαλημ.
25 And in all the cities of Juda he built altars to burn frankincense, and he provoked the Lord the God of his fathers to wrath.	25 Και εν παση πολει του Ιουδα εκαμεν υψηλους τοπους, δια να θυμιαζη εις αλλους θεους, και παρωργισε Κυριον τον Θεον των πατερων αυτου.
26 But the rest of his acts, and all his works first and last are written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel.	26 Αι δε λοιπαι πραξεις αυτου και πασαι αι οδοι αυτου, αι πρωται και αι εσχαται, ιδου, ειναι γεγραμμεναι εν τω βιβλιω των βασιλεων του Ιουδα και Ισραηλ.
27 And Achaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of Jerusalem: for they received him not into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel. And Ezechias his son reigned in his stead.	27 Και εκοιμηθη ο Αχαζ μετα των πατερων αυτου, και εθαψαν αυτον εν τη πολει, εν Ιερουσαλημ? δεν εφεραν ομως αυτον εις τους ταφους των βασιλεων του Ισραηλ? εβασιλευσε δε αντ' αυτου Εζεκιας ο υιος αυτου.
