ΠΑΡΑΛΕΙΠΟΜΕΝΩΝ Β´ - 2 Cronache - Chronicles II 24

GREEK BIBLE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Επτα ετων ηλικιας ητο ο Ιωας οτε εβασιλευσεν? εβασιλευσε δε τεσσαρακοντα ετη εν Ιερουσαλημ? το δε ονομα της μητρος αυτου ητο Σιβια, εκ Βηρ-σαβεε.	1 Joas was seven years old when he began to reign: and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem : the name of his mother was Sebia of Bersabee.
2 Και επραττεν ο Ιωας το ευθες ενωπιον Κυριου, πασας τας ημερας Ιωδαε του ιερεως.	2 And he did that which is good before the Lord all the days of Joiada the priest.
3 Και ελαβεν εις αυτον ο Ιωδαε δυο γυναικας, και εγεννησεν υιους και θυγατερας.	3 And Joiada took for him two wives, by whom he had sons and daughters.
4 Και μετα ταυτα ηλθεν εις την καρδιαν του Ιωας να ανακαινιση τον οικον του Κυριου.	4 After this Joas had a mind to repair the house of the Lord.
5 Και συναγαγων τους ιερεις και τους Λευιτας, ειπε προς αυτους, Εξελθετε εις τας πολεις του Ιουδα, και συναγετε απο παντος του Ισραηλ αργυριον προς επισκευην του οικου του Θεου σας κατ' ετος, και επισπευσατε το πραγμα? οι Λευιται ομως δεν επεσπευσαν.	5 And he assembled the priests, and the Levites, and said to them: Go out to the cities of Juda, and gather of all Israel money to repair the temple of your God, from year to year: and do this with speed: but the Levites were negligent.
6 Και εκαλεσεν ο βασιλευς τον Ιωδαε τον αρχηγον και ειπε προς αυτον, Δια τι δεν εζητησας παρα των Λευιτων να εισπραξωσιν εκ του Ιουδα και εκ της Ιερουσαλημ τον φορον του Μωυσεως, του δουλου του Κυριου, και της συναγωγης του Ισραηλ, δια την σκηνην του μαρτυριου;	6 And the king called Joiada the chief, and said to him: Why hast thou not taken care to oblige the Levites to bring in out of Juda and Jerusalem the money that was appointed by Moses the servant of the Lord for all the multitude of Israel to bring into the tabernacle of the testimony?
7 Διοτι η Γοθολια, η ασεβης, και οι υιοι αυτης κατεφθειραν τον οικον του Θεου? και παντα ετι τα αφιερωματα του οικου του Κυριου ανεθηκαν εις τους Βααλειμ.	7 For that wicked woman Athalia, and her children have destroyed the house of God, and adorned the temple of Baal with all the things that had been dedicated in the temple of the Lord.
8 Εκαμον λοιπον κατα προσταγην του βασιλεως εν κιβωτιον, και εθεσαν αυτο εν τη πυλη του οικου του Κυριου εξω.	8 And the king commanded, and they made a chest: and set it by the gate of the house of the Lord on the outside.
9 Και διεκηρυξαν εις τον Ιουδαν και εις την Ιερουσαλημ να εισφερωσι προς τον Κυριον τον φορον του Μωυσεως του δουλου του Θεου, τον επιβληθεντα επι τον Ισραηλ εν τη ερημω.	9 And they made a proclamation in Juda and Jerusalem, that every man should bring to the Lord the money which Moses the servant of God appointed for all Israel, in the desert.
10 Και ηυφρανθησαν παντες οι αρχοντες και πας ο λαος, και εισεφερον και ερριπτον εις το κιβωτιον, εωσου γεμισθη.	10 And all the princes, and all the people rejoiced: and going In they contributed and cast so much into the chest of the Lord, that it was filled.
11 Οτε δε εφερετο το κιβωτιον προς τους επιστατας του βασιλεως δια χειρος των Λευιτων, και οτε αυτοι εβλεπον οτι ητο πολυ το αργυριον, ηρχετο ο γραμματευς του βασιλεως και ο επιστατης του ιερεως του πρωτου, και εξεκενονον το κιβωτιον και φεροντες εθετον αυτο παλιν εις τον τοπον αυτου. Ουτως εκαμνον καθ' ημεραν και συνηγαγον αργυριον πολυ.	11 And when it was time to bring the chest before the king by the hands of the Levites, (for they saw there was much money,) the king's scribe, and he whom the high priest had appointed went in: and they poured out the money that was in the chest: and they carried back the chest to its place: and thus they did from day to day, and there was gathered an immense sum of money.
12 Και εδιδεν αυτο ο βασιλευς και ο Ιωδαε εις τους ποιουντας το εργον της υπηρεσιας του οικου του Κυριου, και εμισθονον κτιστας και ξυλουργους δια να ανακαινισωσι τον οικον του Κυριου? και σιδηρουργους ετι και χαλκουργους, δια να επισκευασωσι τον οικον του Κυριου.	12 And the king and Joiada gave it to those who were over the works of the house of the Lord: but they hired with it stonecutters, and artificers of every kind of work to repair the house of the Lord: and such as wrought in iron and brass, to uphold what began to be falling.
13 Και οι εργαζομενοι το εργον ειργαζοντο, και δια χειρος αυτων προεβη το εργον της επισκευης? και αποκατεστησαν τον οικον του Θεου εις την προτεραν αυτου καταστασιν και εστερεωσαν αυτον.	13 And the workmen were diligent, and the breach of the walls was closed up by their hands, and they set up the house of the Lord in its former state, and made it stand firm.
14 Και αφου ετελειωσαν, εφεραν το εναπολειφθεν αργυριον εμπροσθεν του βασιλεως και του Ιωδαε, και εκ τουτου κατεσκευασαν σκευη δια τον οικον του Κυριου, σκευη λειτουργιας και ολοκαυτωσεως και φιαλας και σκευη χρυσα και αργυρα. Και προσεφερον ολοκαυτωματα εν τω οικω του Κυριου δια παντος, πασας τας ημερας του Ιωδαε.	14 And when they had finished all the works, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Joiada: and with it were made vessels for the temple for the ministry, and for holocausts and bowls, and other vessels of gold and silver : and holocausts were offered in the house of the Lord continually all the days of Joiada.
15 Εγηρασε δε ο Ιωδαε και ητο πληρης ημερων, και απεθανεν? εκατον τριακοντα ετων ηλικιας ητο οτε απεθανε.	15 But Joiada grew old and was full of days, and died when he was a hundred and thirty years old.
16 Και εθαψαν αυτον εν πολει Δαβιδ, μετα των βασιλεων? επειδη επραξε καλον εν τω Ισραηλ και προς τον Θεον και τον οικον αυτου.	16 And they buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good to Israel, and to his house.
17 Μετα δε τον θανατον του Ιωδαε ηλθον οι αρχοντες του Ιουδα και προσεκυνησαν τον βασιλεα? τοτε ο βασιλευς επηκουσεν αυτων?	17 And after the death of Joiada, the princes of Juda went in, and worshipped the king: and he was soothed by their services and hearkened to them.
18 και εγκατελιπον τον οικον Κυριου του Θεου των πατερων αυτων, και ελατρευον τα αλση και τα ειδωλα? και ηλθεν οργη κατα του Ιουδα και της Ιερουσαλημ, δια ταυτην την ανομιαν αυτων.	18 And they forsook the temple of the Lord the God of their fathers, and served groves and idols, and wrath came upon Juda and Jerusalem for this sin.
19 Απεστειλε μεν προς αυτους προφητας, δια να επαναφερωσιν αυτους εις τον Κυριον, και διεμαρτυρηθησαν εναντιον αυτων? αλλα δεν εδωκαν ακροασιν.	19 And he sent prophets to them to bring them back to the Lord, and they would not give ear when they testified against them.
20 Και περιεχυθη το Πνευμα του Θεου επι Ζαχαριαν τον υιον του Ιωδαε του ιερεως, και σταθεις επανωθεν του λαου, ειπε προς αυτους, Ουτω λεγει ο Θεος? Δια τι παραβαινετε σεις τας εντολας του Κυριου; δεν θελετε βεβαιως ευοδωθη? επειδη σεις εγκατελιπετε τον Κυριον, και αυτος εγκατελιπεν εσας.	20 The spirit of God then came upon Zacharias the son of Joiada the priest, and he stood in the sight of the people, and said to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Why transgress you the commandment of the Lord which will not be for your good, and have forsaken the Lord, to make him forsake you?
21 Και συνωμοσαν κατ' αυτου? και ελιθοβολησαν αυτον με λιθους δια προσταγης του βασιλεως εν τη αυλη του οικου του Κυριου.	21 And they gathered themselves together against him, and stoned him at the king's commandment in the court of the house of the Lord.
22 Και δεν ενεθυμηθη Ιωας ο βασιλευς το ελεος, το οποιον εκαμεν εις αυτον Ιωδαε ο πατηρ αυτου, αλλ' εθανατωσε τον υιον αυτου? ενω δε απεθνησκεν, ειπεν, Ο Κυριος ας ιδη και ας εκζητηση.	22 And king Joas did not remember the kindness that Joiada his father had done to him, but killed his son. And when he died, he said: The Lord see, and require it.
23 Και εν τω τελει του ετους ανεβη το στρατευμα της Συριας εναντιον αυτου? και ηλθον επι τον Ιουδαν και επι την Ιερουσαλημ, και εξωλοθρευσαν παντας τους αρχοντας του λαου εκ μεσου του λαου, και εστειλαν παντα τα λαφυρα αυτων προς τον βασιλεα της Δαμασκου.	23 And when a year was come about, the army of Syria came up against him: and they came to Juda and Jerusalem, end killed all the princes of the people, and they sent all the spoils to the king of Damascus.
24 Αν και το στρατευμα της Συριας ηλθε μετ' ολιγων ανδρων, ο Κυριος ομως παρεδωκε στρατευμα μεγα σφοδρα εις την χειρα αυτων, επειδη εγκατελιπον Κυριον τον Θεον των πατερων αυτων? και εξετελεσαν κρισιν κατα του Ιωας.	24 And whereas there came a very small number of the Syrians, the Lord delivered into their hands an infinite multitude, because they had forsaken the Lord the God of their fathers: and on Joas they executed shameful judgments.
25 Αφου δε ανεχωρησαν απ' αυτου, αφησαντες αυτον εν αρρωστιαις μεγαλαις, συνωμοσαν εναντιον αυτου οι δουλοι αυτου δια το αιμα των υιων Ιωδαε του ιερεως, και εθανατωσαν αυτον επι της κλινης αυτου, και απεθανε? και εθαψαν αυτον εν πολει Δαβιδ, δεν εθαψαν ομως αυτον εν τοις ταφοις των βασιλεων.	25 And departing they left him in diseases: and his servants rose up him, for revenge of the blood of the son of Joiada the priest, and they slew him in his bed, and he died: and they buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchres of the kings.
26 Οι δε συνομοσαντες εναντιον αυτου ησαν ουτοι Ζαβαδ ο υιος της Σιμεαθ της Αμμωνιτιδος και Ιωζαβαδ ο υιος της Σιμριθ της Μωαβιτιδος.	26 Now the men that conspired against him were Zabad the son of Semmaath an Ammonitess, and Jozabad the son of Semarith a Moabitess.
27 Περι δε των υιων αυτου και του πληθους των υπ' αυτου φορτιων, και της επισκευης του οικου του Θεου, ιδου, ειναι γεγραμμενα εν τοις υπομνημασι του βιβλιου των βασιλεων. Εβασιλευσε δε αντ' αυτου Αμασιας ο υιος αυτου.	27 And concerning his sons, and the sum of money which was gathered under him, and the repairing the house of God; they are written more diligently in the book of kings: and Amasias his son reigned in his stead.
