2 Kings 16

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	LXX
1 In the seventeenth year of Pekah, son of Remaliah, Ahaz, son of Jotham, king of Judah, began to reign.	1 εν ετει επτακαιδεκατω φακεε υιου ρομελιου εβασιλευσεν αχαζ υιος ιωαθαμ βασιλεως ιουδα
2 Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. He did not please the LORD, his God, like his forefather David,	2 υιος εικοσι ετων ην αχαζ εν τω βασιλευειν αυτον και εκκαιδεκα ετη εβασιλευσεν εν ιερουσαλημ και ουκ εποιησεν το ευθες εν οφθαλμοις κυριου θεου αυτου πιστως ως δαυιδ ο πατηρ αυτου
3 but conducted himself like the kings of Israel, and even immolated his son by fire, in accordance with the abominable practice of the nations whom the LORD had cleared out of the way of the Israelites.	3 και επορευθη εν οδω ιεροβοαμ υιου ναβατ βασιλεως ισραηλ και γε τον υιον αυτου διηγεν εν πυρι κατα τα βδελυγματα των εθνων ων εξηρεν κυριος απο προσωπου των υιων ισραηλ
4 Further, he sacrificed and burned incense on the high places, on hills, and under every leafy tree.	4 και εθυσιαζεν και εθυμια εν τοις υψηλοις και επι των βουνων και υποκατω παντος ξυλου αλσωδους
5 Then Rezin, king of Aram, and Pekah, son of Remaliah, king of Israel, came up to Jerusalem to attack it. Although they besieged Ahaz, they were unable to conquer him.	5 τοτε ανεβη ραασσων βασιλευς συριας και φακεε υιος ρομελιου βασιλευς ισραηλ εις ιερουσαλημ εις πολεμον και επολιορκουν επι αχαζ και ουκ εδυναντο πολεμειν
6 At the same time the king of Edom recovered Elath for Edom, driving the Judeans out of it. The Edomites then entered Elath, which they have occupied until the present.	6 εν τω καιρω εκεινω επεστρεψεν ραασσων βασιλευς συριας την αιλαθ τη συρια και εξεβαλεν τους ιουδαιους εξ αιλαθ και ιδουμαιοι ηλθον εις αιλαθ και κατωκησαν εκει εως της ημερας ταυτης
7 Meanwhile, Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath-pileser, king of Assyria, with the plea: "I am your servant and your son. Come up and rescue me from the clutches of the king of Aram and the king of Israel, who are attacking me."	7 και απεστειλεν αχαζ αγγελους προς θαγλαθφελλασαρ βασιλεα ασσυριων λεγων δουλος σου και υιος σου εγω αναβηθι και σωσον με εκ χειρος βασιλεως συριας και εκ χειρος βασιλεως ισραηλ των επανισταμενων επ' εμε
8 Ahaz took the silver and gold that were in the temple of the LORD and in the palace treasuries and sent them as a present to the king of Assyria,	8 και ελαβεν αχαζ το αργυριον και το χρυσιον το ευρεθεν εν θησαυροις οικου κυριου και οικου του βασιλεως και απεστειλεν τω βασιλει δωρα
9 who listened to him and moved against Damascus, which he captured. He deported its inhabitants to Kir and put Rezin to death.	9 και ηκουσεν αυτου βασιλευς ασσυριων και ανεβη βασιλευς ασσυριων εις δαμασκον και συνελαβεν αυτην και απωκισεν αυτην και τον ραασσων εθανατωσεν
10 King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath-pileser, king of Assyria. When he saw the altar in Damascus, King Ahaz sent to Uriah the priest a model of the altar and a detailed design of its construction.	10 και επορευθη βασιλευς αχαζ εις απαντην τω θαγλαθφελλασαρ βασιλει ασσυριων εις δαμασκον και ειδεν το θυσιαστηριον εν δαμασκω και απεστειλεν ο βασιλευς αχαζ προς ουριαν τον ιερεα το ομοιωμα του θυσιαστηριου και τον ρυθμον αυτου εις πασαν ποιησιν αυτου
11 Uriah the priest built an altar according to the plans which King Ahaz sent him from Damascus, and had it completed by the time the king returned home.	11 και ωκοδομησεν ουριας ο ιερευς το θυσιαστηριον κατα παντα οσα απεστειλεν ο βασιλευς αχαζ εκ δαμασκου
12 On his arrival from Damascus, the king inspected this altar, then went up to it and offered sacrifice on it,	12 και ειδεν ο βασιλευς το θυσιαστηριον και ανεβη επ' αυτο
13 burning his holocaust and cereal-offering, pouring out his libation, and sprinkling the blood of his peace-offerings on the altar.	13 και εθυμιασεν την ολοκαυτωσιν αυτου και την θυσιαν αυτου και την σπονδην αυτου και προσεχεεν το αιμα των ειρηνικων των αυτου επι το θυσιαστηριον
14 The bronze altar that stood before the LORD he brought from the front of the temple--that is, from the space between the new altar and the temple of the LORD--and set it on the north side of his altar.	14 και το θυσιαστηριον το χαλκουν το απεναντι κυριου και προσηγαγεν απο προσωπου του οικου κυριου απο του ανα μεσον του θυσιαστηριου και απο του ανα μεσον του οικου κυριου και εδωκεν αυτο επι μηρον του θυσιαστηριου κατα βορραν
15 "Upon the large altar," King Ahaz commanded Uriah the priest, "burn the morning holocaust and the evening cereal offering, the royal holocaust and cereal offering, as well as the holocausts, cereal offerings, and libations of the people. You must also sprinkle on it all the blood of holocausts and sacrifices. But the old bronze altar shall be mine for consultation."	15 και ενετειλατο ο βασιλευς αχαζ τω ουρια τω ιερει λεγων επι το θυσιαστηριον το μεγα προσφερε την ολοκαυτωσιν την πρωινην και την θυσιαν την εσπερινην και την ολοκαυτωσιν του βασιλεως και την θυσιαν αυτου και την ολοκαυτωσιν παντος του λαου και την θυσιαν αυτων και την σπονδην αυτων και παν αιμα ολοκαυτωσεως και παν αιμα θυσιας επ' αυτο προσχεεις και το θυσιαστηριον το χαλκουν εσται μοι εις το πρωι
16 Uriah the priest did just as King Ahaz had commanded.	16 και εποιησεν ουριας ο ιερευς κατα παντα οσα ενετειλατο αυτω ο βασιλευς αχαζ
17 King Ahaz detached the frames from the bases and removed the lavers from them; he also took down the bronze sea from the bronze oxen that supported it, and set it on a stone pavement.	17 και συνεκοψεν ο βασιλευς αχαζ τα συγκλεισματα των μεχωνωθ και μετηρεν απ' αυτων τον λουτηρα και την θαλασσαν καθειλεν απο των βοων των χαλκων των υποκατω αυτης και εδωκεν αυτην επι βασιν λιθινην
18 In deference to the king of Assyria he removed from the temple of the LORD the emplacement which had been built in the temple for a throne, and the outer entrance for the king.	18 και τον θεμελιον της καθεδρας ωκοδομησεν εν οικω κυριου και την εισοδον του βασιλεως την εξω επεστρεψεν εν οικω κυριου απο προσωπου βασιλεως ασσυριων
19 The rest of the acts of Ahaz are recorded in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah.	19 και τα λοιπα των λογων αχαζ οσα εποιησεν ουχι ταυτα γεγραμμενα επι βιβλιω λογων των ημερων τοις βασιλευσιν ιουδα
20 Ahaz rested with his ancestors and was buried with them in the City of David. His son Hezekiah succeeded him as king.	20 και εκοιμηθη αχαζ μετα των πατερων αυτου και εταφη εν πολει δαυιδ και εβασιλευσεν εζεκιας υιος αυτου αντ' αυτου
