ΒΑΣΙΛΕΙΩΝ Δ´ - 2 Re - Kings IV 8

LXX	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 και ελισαιε ελαλησεν προς την γυναικα ης εζωπυρησεν τον υιον λεγων αναστηθι και δευρο συ και ο οικος σου και παροικει ου εαν παροικησης οτι κεκληκεν κυριος λιμον επι την γην και γε ηλθεν επι την γην επτα ετη	1 Elisha once said to the woman whose son he had restored to life: "Get ready! Leave with your family and settle wherever you can, because the LORD has decreed a seven-year famine which is coming upon the land."
2 και ανεστη η γυνη και εποιησεν κατα το ρημα ελισαιε και επορευθη αυτη και ο οικος αυτης και παρωκει εν γη αλλοφυλων επτα ετη	2 The woman got ready and did as the man of God said, setting out with her family and settling in the land of the Philistines for seven years.
3 και εγενετο μετα το τελος των επτα ετων και επεστρεψεν η γυνη εκ γης αλλοφυλων εις την πολιν και ηλθεν βοησαι προς τον βασιλεα περι του οικου εαυτης και περι των αγρων εαυτης	3 At the end of the seven years, the woman returned from the land of the Philistines and went out to the king to claim her house and her field.
4 και ο βασιλευς ελαλει προς γιεζι το παιδαριον ελισαιε του ανθρωπου του θεου λεγων διηγησαι δη μοι παντα τα μεγαλα α εποιησεν ελισαιε	4 The king was talking with Gehazi, the servant of the man of God. "Tell me," he said, "all the great things that Elisha has done."
5 και εγενετο αυτου εξηγουμενου τω βασιλει ως εζωπυρησεν υιον τεθνηκοτα και ιδου η γυνη ης εζωπυρησεν τον υιον αυτης ελισαιε βοωσα προς τον βασιλεα περι του οικου εαυτης και περι των αγρων εαυτης και ειπεν γιεζι κυριε βασιλευ αυτη η γυνη και ουτος ο υιος αυτης ον εζωπυρησεν ελισαιε	5 Just as he was relating to the king how his master had restored a dead person to life, the very woman whose son Elisha had restored to life came to the king to claim her house and field. "My lord king," Gehazi said, "this is the woman, and this is that son of hers whom Elisha restored to life."
6 και επηρωτησεν ο βασιλευς την γυναικα και διηγησατο αυτω και εδωκεν αυτη ο βασιλευς ευνουχον ενα λεγων επιστρεψον παντα τα αυτης και παντα τα γενηματα του αγρου αυτης απο της ημερας ης κατελιπεν την γην εως του νυν	6 The king questioned the woman, and she told him her story. With that the king placed an official at her disposal, saying, "Restore all her property to her, with all that the field produced from the day she left the land until now."
7 και ηλθεν ελισαιε εις δαμασκον και υιος αδερ βασιλευς συριας ηρρωστει και ανηγγειλαν αυτω λεγοντες ηκει ο ανθρωπος του θεου εως ωδε	7 Elisha came to Damascus at a time when Ben-hadad, king of Aram, lay sick. When he was told that the man of God had come there,
8 και ειπεν ο βασιλευς προς αζαηλ λαβε εν τη χειρι σου μαναα και δευρο εις απαντην τω ανθρωπω του θεου και επιζητησον τον κυριον παρ' αυτου λεγων ει ζησομαι εκ της αρρωστιας μου ταυτης	8 the king said to Hazael, "Take a gift with you and go call on the man of God. Have him consult the LORD as to whether I shall recover from this sickness."
9 και επορευθη αζαηλ εις απαντην αυτου και ελαβεν μαναα εν τη χειρι αυτου και παντα τα αγαθα δαμασκου αρσιν τεσσαρακοντα καμηλων και ηλθεν και εστη ενωπιον αυτου και ειπεν προς ελισαιε ο υιος σου υιος αδερ βασιλευς συριας απεστειλεν με προς σε λεγων ει ζησομαι εκ της αρρωστιας μου ταυτης	9 Hazael went to visit him, carrying a present, and with forty camel loads of the best goods of Damascus. On his arrival, he stood before the prophet and said, "Your son Ben-hadad, king of Aram, has sent me to ask you whether he will recover from his sickness."
10 και ειπεν ελισαιε δευρο ειπον αυτω ζωη ζηση και εδειξεν μοι κυριος οτι θανατω αποθανη	10 "Go and tell him," Elisha answered, "that he will surely recover. However, the LORD has showed me that he will in fact die."
11 και παρεστη τω προσωπω αυτου και εθηκεν εως αισχυνης και εκλαυσεν ο ανθρωπος του θεου	11 Then he stared him down until Hazael became ill at ease. The man of God wept,
12 και ειπεν αζαηλ τι οτι ο κυριος μου κλαιει και ειπεν οτι οιδα οσα ποιησεις τοις υιοις ισραηλ κακα τα οχυρωματα αυτων εξαποστελεις εν πυρι και τους εκλεκτους αυτων εν ρομφαια αποκτενεις και τα νηπια αυτων ενσεισεις και τας εν γαστρι εχουσας αυτων αναρρηξεις	12 and Hazael asked, "Why are you weeping, my lord?" Elisha replied, "Because I know the evil that you will inflict upon the Israelites. You will burn their fortresses, you will slay their youth with the sword, you will dash their little children to pieces, you will rip open their pregnant women."
13 και ειπεν αζαηλ τις εστιν ο δουλος σου ο κυων ο τεθνηκως οτι ποιησει το ρημα τουτο και ειπεν ελισαιε εδειξεν μοι κυριος σε βασιλευοντα επι συριαν	13 Hazael exclaimed, "How can a dog like me, your servant, do anything so important?" "The LORD has showed you to me as king over Aram," replied Elisha.
14 και απηλθεν απο ελισαιε και εισηλθεν προς τον κυριον αυτου και ειπεν αυτω τι ειπεν σοι ελισαιε και ειπεν ειπεν μοι ζωη ζηση	14 Hazael left Elisha and returned to his master. "What did Elisha tell you?" asked Ben-hadad. "He told me that you would surely recover," replied Hazael.
15 και εγενετο τη επαυριον και ελαβεν το μαχμα και εβαψεν εν τω υδατι και περιεβαλεν επι το προσωπον αυτου και απεθανεν και εβασιλευσεν αζαηλ αντ' αυτου	15 The next day, however, Hazael took a cloth, dipped it in water, and spread it over the king's face, so that he died. And Hazael reigned in his stead.
16 εν ετει πεμπτω τω ιωραμ υιω αχααβ βασιλει ισραηλ εβασιλευσεν ιωραμ υιος ιωσαφατ βασιλευς ιουδα	16 In the fifth year of Joram, son of Ahab, king of Israel, Jehoram, son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, became king.
17 υιος τριακοντα και δυο ετων ην εν τω βασιλευειν αυτον και οκτω ετη εβασιλευσεν εν ιερουσαλημ	17 He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
18 και επορευθη εν οδω βασιλεων ισραηλ καθως εποιησεν οικος αχααβ οτι θυγατηρ αχααβ ην αυτω εις γυναικα και εποιησεν το πονηρον ενωπιον κυριου	18 He conducted himself like the kings of Israel of the line of Ahab, since the sister of Ahab was his wife; and he did evil in the LORD'S sight.
19 και ουκ ηθελησεν κυριος διαφθειραι τον ιουδαν δια δαυιδ τον δουλον αυτου καθως ειπεν δουναι αυτω λυχνον και τοις υιοις αυτου πασας τας ημερας	19 Even so, the LORD was unwilling to destroy Judah, because of his servant David. For he had promised David that he would leave him a lamp in the LORD'S presence for all time.
20 εν ταις ημεραις αυτου ηθετησεν εδωμ υποκατωθεν χειρος ιουδα και εβασιλευσαν εφ' εαυτους βασιλεα	20 During Jehoram's reign, Edom revolted against the sovereignty of Judah and chose a king of its own.
21 και ανεβη ιωραμ εις σιωρ και παντα τα αρματα μετ' αυτου και εγενετο αυτου ανασταντος και επαταξεν τον εδωμ τον κυκλωσαντα επ' αυτον και τους αρχοντας των αρματων και εφυγεν ο λαος εις τα σκηνωματα αυτων	21 Thereupon Jehoram with all his chariots crossed over to Zair. He arose by night and broke through the Edomites when they had surrounded him and the commanders of his chariots. Then his army fled homeward.
22 και ηθετησεν εδωμ υποκατωθεν χειρος ιουδα εως της ημερας ταυτης τοτε ηθετησεν λοβενα εν τω καιρω εκεινω	22 To this day Edom has been in revolt against the rule of Judah. Libnah also revolted at that time.
23 και τα λοιπα των λογων ιωραμ και παντα οσα εποιησεν ουκ ιδου ταυτα γεγραπται επι βιβλιω λογων των ημερων τοις βασιλευσιν ιουδα	23 The rest of the acts of Jehoram, with all that he did, are recorded in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah.
24 και εκοιμηθη ιωραμ μετα των πατερων αυτου και εταφη μετα των πατερων αυτου εν πολει δαυιδ του πατρος αυτου και εβασιλευσεν οχοζιας υιος αυτου αντ' αυτου	24 Jehoram rested with his ancestors and was buried with them in the City of David. His son Ahaziah succeeded him as king.
25 εν ετει δωδεκατω τω ιωραμ υιω αχααβ βασιλει ισραηλ εβασιλευσεν οχοζιας υιος ιωραμ	25 Ahaziah, son of Jehoram, king of Judah, became king in the twelfth year of Joram, son of Ahab, king of Israel.
26 υιος εικοσι και δυο ετων οχοζιας εν τω βασιλευειν αυτον και ενιαυτον ενα εβασιλευσεν εν ιερουσαλημ και ονομα της μητρος αυτου γοθολια θυγατηρ αμβρι βασιλεως ισραηλ	26 He was twenty-two years old when he began his reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Athaliah; she was daughter of Omri, king of Israel.
27 και επορευθη εν οδω οικου αχααβ και εποιησεν το πονηρον ενωπιον κυριου καθως ο οικος αχααβ	27 He conducted himself like the house of Ahab, doing evil in the LORD'S sight as they did, since he was related to them by marriage.
28 και επορευθη μετα ιωραμ υιου αχααβ εις πολεμον μετα αζαηλ βασιλεως αλλοφυλων εν ρεμμωθ γαλααδ και επαταξαν οι συροι τον ιωραμ	28 He joined Joram, son of Ahab, in battle against Hazael, king of Aram, at Ramoth-gilead, where the Arameans wounded Joram.
29 και επεστρεψεν ο βασιλευς ιωραμ του ιατρευθηναι εν ιεζραελ απο των πληγων ων επαταξαν αυτον εν ρεμμωθ εν τω πολεμειν αυτον μετα αζαηλ βασιλεως συριας και οχοζιας υιος ιωραμ κατεβη του ιδειν τον ιωραμ υιον αχααβ εν ιεζραελ οτι ηρρωστει αυτος	29 King Joram returned to Jezreel to be healed of the wounds which the Arameans had inflicted on him at Ramah in his battle against Hazael, king of Aram. Then Ahaziah, son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to Jezreel to visit him there in his illness.
