2 Chronicles 10

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 Now Rehoboam set out for Shechem. For in that place all of Israel had convened, so that they might appoint him as king.	1 Και υπηγεν ο Ροβοαμ εις Συχεμ? διοτι ηρχετο πας ο Ισραηλ εις Συχεμ δια να καμη αυτον βασιλεα.
2 But when Jeroboam, the son of Nabat, who was in Egypt, (indeed he had fled to that place from Solomon) had heard it, he promptly returned.	2 Και ως ηκουσε τουτο Ιεροβοαμ ο υιος του Ναβατ, οστις ητο εν Αιγυπτω, οπου ειχε φυγει απο προσωπου Σολομωντος του βασιλεως, επεστρεψεν ο Ιεροβοαμ εξ Αιγυπτου,
3 And they summoned him, and he arrived with all of Israel. And they spoke to Rehoboam, saying:	3 διοτι απεστειλαν και εκαλεσαν αυτον. Τοτε ηλθον ο Ιεροβοαμ και πας ο Ισραηλ, και ελαλησαν προς τον Ροβοαμ, λεγοντες,
4 “Your father pressed upon us a very difficult yoke. You should govern us more lightly than your father, who imposed on us a heavy servitude, and so lift up some of the burden, so that we may serve you.”	4 Ο πατηρ σου εσκληρυνε τον ζυγον ημων? τωρα λοιπον την δουλειαν την σκληραν του πατρος σου και τον ζυγον αυτου τον βαρυν, τον οποιον επεβαλεν εφ' ημας, ελαφρωσον συ, και θελομεν σοι δουλευει.
5 But he said, “Return to me after three days.” And when the people had gone away,	5 Ο δε ειπε προς αυτους, Επανελθετε προς εμε μετα τρεις ημερας. Και ανεχωρησεν ο λαος.
6 he took counsel with the elders, who had stood before his father Solomon while he was still living, saying, “What counsel would you give to me, so that I may respond to the people?”	6 Και συνεβουλευθη ο βασιλευς Ροβοαμ τους πρεσβυτερους, οιτινες παρισταντο ενωπιον Σολομωντος του πατρος αυτου ετι ζωντος, λεγων, Τι με συμβουλευετε σεις να αποκριθω προς τον λαον τουτον;
7 And they said to him, “If you please this people, and if you soothe them with words of clemency, they will be your servants for all days.”	7 Και ελαλησαν προς αυτον, λεγοντες, Εαν φερθης ευμενως προς τον λαον τουτον και ευαρεστησης εις αυτους, και λαλησης προς αυτους αγαθους λογους, τοτε θελουσιν εισθαι δουλοι σου δια παντος.
8 But he set aside the counsel of the elders, and he began to have discussion with the youth, who had been raised with him and who were among his companions.	8 Απερριψεν ομως την συμβουλην των πρεσβυτερων, την οποιαν εδωκαν εις αυτον, και συνεβουλευθη τους νεους τους συνανατραφεντας μετ' αυτου, τους παρισταμενους ενωπιον αυτου.
9 And he said to them: “How does it seem to you? Or how should I respond to this people, who have said to me, ‘Lift up the yoke that your father imposed upon us?’ ”	9 Και ειπε προς αυτους, Τι με συμβουλευετε σεις να αποκριθωμεν προς τον λαον τουτον, οστις ελαλησε προς εμε, λεγων, Ελαφρωσον τον ζυγον τον οποιον ο πατηρ σου επεβαλεν εφ' ημας;
10 But they responded like youths, having been raised with him in luxury, and they said: “So shall you speak to the people, who said to you, ‘Your father made our yoke heavy; you should lighten it,’ and so shall you respond to them: ‘My little finger is thicker than the back of my father.	10 Και ελαλησαν προς αυτον οι νεοι οι συνανατραφεντες μετ' αυτου, λεγοντες, Ουτω θελεις λαλησει προς τον λαον, οστις ελαλησε προς σε, λεγων, Ο πατηρ σου εβαρυνε τον ζυγον ημων, αλλα συ ελαφρωσον αυτον εις ημας? ουτω θελεις λαλησει προς αυτους? Ο μικρος μου δακτυλος θελει εισθαι παχυτερος της οσφυος του πατρος μου?
11 My father imposed a heavy yoke upon you, and I will place more weight upon it. My father cut you with whips; truly, I will beat you with scorpions.’ ”	11 τωρα λοιπον ο μεν πατηρ μου επεφορτισεν εις εσας ζυγον βαρυν, εγω δε θελω καμει βαρυτερον τον ζυγον σας? ο πατηρ μου σας επαιδευσε με μαστιγας, εγω δε θελω σας παιδευσει με σκορπιους.
12 Then Jeroboam, and the entire people, went to Rehoboam on the third day, just as he had instructed them.	12 Και ηλθεν ο Ιεροβοαμ και πας ο λαος προς τον Ροβοαμ την τριτην ημεραν, ως ειχε λαλησει ο βασιλευς, λεγων, Επανελθετε προς εμε την τριτην ημεραν.
13 And the king responded harshly, abandoning the counsel of the elders.	13 Και απεκριθη ο βασιλευς προς αυτους σκληρως? και εγκατελιπεν ο βασιλευς Ροβοαμ την συμβουλην των πρεσβυτερων,
14 And he spoke according to the will of the youths: “My father imposed a heavy yoke upon you, which I will make heavier. My father cut you with whips; truly, I will beat you with scorpions.”	14 και ελαλησε προς αυτους κατα την συμβουλην των νεων, λεγων, Ο πατηρ μου εβαρυνε τον ζυγον σας, αλλ' εγω θελω καμει αυτον βαρυτερον? ο πατηρ μου σας επαιδευσε με μαστιγας, αλλ' εγω θελω σας παιδευσει με σκορπιους.
15 And he did not acquiesce to the pleadings of the people. For it was the will of God that his word be fulfilled, which he had spoken by the hand of Ahijah, the Shilonite, to Jeroboam, the son of Nabat.	15 Και δεν εισηκουσεν ο βασιλευς εις τον λαον? διοτι το πραγμα εγεινε παρα του Θεου, δια να εκτελεση ο Κυριος τον λογον αυτου, τον οποιον ελαλησε δια του Αχια του Σηλωνιτου προς Ιεροβοαμ τον υιον του Ναβατ.
16 Then the entire people, speaking more harshly to the king, spoke to him in this way: “There is no portion for us in David, and there is no inheritance in the son of Jesse. Return to your dwellings, O Israel. Then you, O David, shall pasture your own house.” And Israel went away to their dwellings.	16 Και ιδων πας ο Ισραηλ οτι ο βασιλευς δεν εισηκουσεν εις αυτους, απεκριθη ο λαος προς τον βασιλεα, λεγων, Τι μερος εχομεν ημεις εις τον Δαβιδ; ουδεμιαν κληρονομιαν εχομεν εις τον υιον του Ιεσσαι? εις τας σκηνας σου εκαστος, Ισραηλ? προβλεψον τωρα, Δαβιδ, περι του οικου σου. Και ανεχωρησε πας ο Ισραηλ εις τας σκηνας αυτου.
17 But Rehoboam reigned over the sons of Israel who were living in the cities of Judah.	17 Περι δε των υιων Ισραηλ των κατοικουντων εν ταις πολεσιν Ιουδα, ο Ροβοαμ εβασιλευσεν επ' αυτους.
18 And king Rehoboam sent Aduram, who was in charge of the tributes. And the sons of Israel stoned him, and he died. And so king Rehoboam hurried to climb into the chariot, and he fled to Jerusalem.	18 Και απεστειλεν ο βασιλευς Ροβοαμ τον Αδωραμ, τον επι των φορων? και ελιθοβολησαν αυτον οι υιοι Ισραηλ με λιθους, και απεθανεν. Οθεν εσπευσεν ο βασιλευς Ροβοαμ να αναβη εις την αμαξαν, δια να φυγη εις Ιερουσαλημ.
19 And Israel withdrew from the house of David, even to this day.	19 Ουτως απεστατησεν ο Ισραηλ απο του οικου του Δαβιδ, εως της ημερας ταυτης.
