| 1 Και εκοιμηθη ο Ιωσαφατ μετα των πατερων αυτου και εταφη μετα των πατερων αυτου εν πολει Δαβιδ? και εβασιλευσεν αντ' αυτου Ιωραμ ο υιος αυτου. | 1 Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David; and Jehoram his son reigned in his stead. |
| 2 Και ειχεν αδελφους, υιους του Ιωσαφατ, τον Αζαριαν, και Ιεχιηλ και Ζαχαριαν και Αζαριαν και Μιχαηλ και Σεφατιαν? παντες ουτοι ησαν υιοι του Ιωσαφατ βασιλεως του Ισραηλ. | 2 He had brothers, the sons of Jehoshaphat: Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariah, Michael, and Shephatiah; all these were the sons of Jehoshaphat king of Judah. |
| 3 Και ο πατηρ αυτων εδωκεν εις αυτους δωρα πολλα αργυριου και χρυσιου και πολυτιμων πραγματων, μετα πολεων οχυρων εν Ιουδα? την βασιλειαν ομως εδωκεν εις τον Ιωραμ, επειδη ητο ο πρωτοτοκος. | 3 Their father gave them great gifts, of silver, gold, and valuable possessions, together with fortified cities in Judah; but he gave the kingdom to Jehoram, because he was the first-born. |
| 4 Οτε δε ο Ιωραμ υψωθη εις την βασιλειαν του πατρος αυτου και εκραταιωθη, εθανατωσε παντας τους αδελφους αυτου εν ρομφαια και τινας ετι εκ των αρχοντων του Ισραηλ. | 4 When Jehoram had ascended the throne of his father and was established, he slew all his brothers with the sword, and also some of the princes of Israel. |
| 5 Τριακοντα δυο ετων ηλικιας ητο ο Ιωραμ οτε εβασιλευσε, και εβασιλευσεν οκτω ετη εν Ιερουσαλημ. | 5 Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. |
| 6 Και περιεπατησεν εν τη οδω των βασιλεων του Ισραηλ, καθως εκαμεν ο οικος του Αχααβ? διοτι θυγατηρ του Αχααβ ητο η γυνη αυτου? και επραξε πονηρα ενωπιον Κυριου. | 6 And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as the house of Ahab had done; for the daughter of Ahab was his wife. And he did what was evil in the sight of the LORD. |
| 7 Αλλ' ο Κυριος δεν ηθελησε να εξολοθρευση τον οικον του Δαβιδ, δια την διαθηκην την οποιαν εκαμε προς τον Δαβιδ, και διοτι ειπε να δωση λυχνον εις αυτον και εις τους υιους αυτου παντοτε. | 7 Yet the LORD would not destroy the house of David, because of the covenant which he had made with David, and since he had promised to give a lamp to him and to his sons for ever. |
| 8 Εν ταις ημεραις αυτου απεστατησεν ο Εδωμ απο της υποταγης του Ιουδα, και κατεστησαν βασιλεα εφ' εαυτους. | 8 In his days Edom revolted from the rule of Judah, and set up a king of their own. |
| 9 Και διηλθεν ο Ιωραμ μετα των αρχοντων αυτου και πασαι αι αμαξαι μετ' αυτου? και σηκωθεις δια νυκτος, επαταξε τους Ιδουμαιους τους περικυκλουντας αυτον και τους αρχοντας των αμαξων. | 9 Then Jehoram passed over with his commanders and all his chariots, and he rose by night and smote the Edomites who had surrounded him and his chariot commanders. |
| 10 Ουτως απεστατησεν ο Εδωμ απο της υποταγης του Ιουδα εως της ημερας ταυτης. Τοτε κατα τον αυτον καιρον απεστατησε και η Λιβνα απο της υποταγης αυτου, επειδη εγκατελιπε Κυριον τον Θεον των πατερων αυτου. | 10 So Edom revolted from the rule of Judah to this day. At that time Libnah also revolted from his rule, because he had forsaken the LORD, the God of his fathers. |
| 11 Αυτος ωκοδομησεν ετι υψηλους τοπους επι τα ορη του Ιουδα, και εκαμε τους κατοικους της Ιερουσαλημ να πορνευωσι και απεπλανησε τον Ιουδαν. | 11 Moreover he made high places in the hill country of Judah, and led the inhabitants of Jerusalem into unfaithfulness, and made Judah go astray. |
| 12 Και ηλθε προς αυτον εγγραφον παρα του Ηλια του προφητου, λεγον, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος του Δαβιδ του πατρος σου? Επειδη δεν περιεπατησας εν ταις οδοις Ιωσαφατ του πατρος σου και εν ταις οδοις του Ασα βασιλεως του Ιουδα, | 12 And a letter came to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, "Thus says the LORD, the God of David your father, 'Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat your father, or in the ways of Asa king of Judah, |
| 13 αλλα περιεπατησας εν τη οδω των βασιλεων του Ισραηλ, και εκαμες τον Ιουδαν και τους κατοικους της Ιερουσαλημ να πορνευσωσι κατα τας πορνειας του οικου του Αχααβ, ετι δε εθανατωσας τους αδελφους σου, τον οικον του πατρος σου, τους καλητερους σου, | 13 but have walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and have led Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem into unfaithfulness, as the house of Ahab led Israel into unfaithfulness, and also you have killed your brothers, of your father's house, who were better than yourself; |
| 14 Ιδου, ο Κυριος θελει παταξει με πληγην μεγαλην τον λαον σου και τα τεκνα σου και τας γυναικας σου και παντα τα υπαρχοντα σου? | 14 behold, the LORD will bring a great plague on your people, your children, your wives, and all your possessions, |
| 15 και συ θελεις κτυπηθη με πολλας αρρωστιας, με αρρωστιαν των εντοσθιων σου, εωσου εξελθωσι τα εντοσθια σου εκ της αρρωστιας απο ημερας εις ημεραν. | 15 and you yourself will have a severe sickness with a disease of your bowels, until your bowels come out because of the disease, day by day.'" |
| 16 Ο Κυριος ετι διηγειρεν εναντιον του Ιωραμ το πνευμα των Φιλισταιων και των Αραβων, των πλησιοχωρων των Αιθιοπων? | 16 And the LORD stirred up against Jehoram the anger of the Philistines and of the Arabs who are near the Ethiopians; |
| 17 και ανεβησαν κατα του Ιουδα και εφωρμησαν επ' αυτον και διηρπασαν παντα τα υπαρχοντα τα ευρεθεντα εν τω οικω του βασιλεως, και τους υιους αυτου ετι και τας γυναικας αυτου? ωστε δεν εμεινεν εις αυτον αλλος υιος, ειμη Ιωαχαζ, ο νεωτερος των υιων αυτου. | 17 and they came up against Judah, and invaded it, and carried away all the possessions they found that belonged to the king's house, and also his sons and his wives, so that no son was left to him except Jehoahaz, his youngest son. |
| 18 Μετα δε παντα ταυτα επαταξεν αυτον ο Κυριος εις τα εντοσθια αυτου με αρρωστιαν ανιατον? | 18 And after all this the LORD smote him in his bowels with an incurable disease. |
| 19 και προιοντος του καιρου, μετα παρελευσιν δυο ετων, εξηλθον τα εντοσθια αυτου, εκ της αρρωστιας αυτου, και απεθανε με πονους σκληρους. Ο δε λαος αυτου δεν εκαμεν εις αυτον καυσιν, κατα την καυσιν των πατερων αυτου. | 19 In course of time, at the end of two years, his bowels came out because of the disease, and he died in great agony. His people made no fire in his honor, like the fires made for his fathers. |
| 20 Τριακοντα δυο ετων ηλικιας ητο οτε εβασιλευσεν? εβασιλευσε δε εν Ιερουσαλημ οκτω ετη, και απηλθε χωρις να ηναι ποθητος? και εθαψαν αυτον εν πολει Δαβιδ, πλην ουχι εν τοις ταφοις των βασιλεων. | 20 He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem; and he departed with no one's regret. They buried him in the city of David, but not in the tombs of the kings. |
