2 Kings 8

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	GREEK BIBLE
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."	1 Και ελαλησεν ο Ελισσαιε προς την γυναικα, της οποιας ανεζωοποιησε τον υιον, λεγων, Σηκωθητι και υπαγε, συ και ο οικος σου, και παροικησον οπου αν δυνηθης να παροικησης? διοτι ο Κυριος εκαλεσε την πειναν, και θελει μαλιστα επελθει επι την γην 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.	2 Και σηκωθεισα η γυνη, εκαμε κατα τον λογον του ανθρωπου του Θεου? και υπηγεν αυτη και ο οικος αυτης, και παρωκησεν εν τη γη των Φιλισταιων επτα ετη.
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.	3 Μετα δε το τελος των επτα ετων, επεστρεψεν η γυνη εκ της γης των Φιλισταιων? και εξηλθε να βοηση προς τον βασιλεα περι της οικιας αυτης και περι των αγρων αυτης.
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."	4 Και ελαλησεν ο βασιλευς προς τον Γιεζει, τον υπηρετην του ανθρωπου του Θεου, λεγων, Διηγηθητι μοι, παρακαλω, παντα τα μεγαλεια τα οποια εκαμεν ο Ελισσαιε.
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."	5 Και ενω διηγειτο προς τον βασιλεα πως ανεζωοποιησε τον νεκρον, ιδου, η γυνη, της οποιας τον υιον ειχεν αναζωοποιησει, εβοησε προς τον βασιλεα περι της οικιας αυτης και περι των αγρων αυτης. Και ειπεν ο Γιεζει, Κυριε μου βασιλευ, αυτη ειναι η γυνη και ουτος ο υιος αυτης, τον οποιον ανεζωοποιησεν ο Ελισσαιε.
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."	6 Και ηρωτησεν ο βασιλευς την γυναικα, και αυτη διηγηθη το πραγμα προς αυτον. Τοτε εδωκεν εις αυτην ο βασιλευς ευνουχον, λεγων, Επιστρεψον παντα τα πραγματα αυτης και παντα τα προιοντα των αγρων αυτης, αφ' ης ημερας αφηκε την γην μεχρι του νυν.
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,	7 Ο δε Ελισσαιε ηλθεν εις Δαμασκον. Και Βεν-αδαδ ο βασιλευς της Συριας ητο αρρωστος? και απηγγειλαν προς αυτον, λεγοντες, Ο ανθρωπος του Θεου ηλθεν εως εδω.
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."	8 Και ειπεν ο βασιλευς προς τον Αζαηλ, Λαβε εις την χειρα σου δωρον και υπαγε εις συναντησιν του ανθρωπου του Θεου και ερωτησον δι' αυτου τον Κυριον, λεγων, Θελω αναλαβει εκ της αρρωστιας 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."	9 Και υπηγεν ο Αζαηλ εις συναντησιν αυτου, λαβων δωρον εις την χειρα αυτου και απο παντος αγαθου της Δαμασκου, τεσσαρακοντα καμηλων φορτιον? και ελθων εσταθη εμπροσθεν αυτου και ειπεν, Ο υιος σου Βεν-αδαδ, ο βασιλευς της Συριας, με απεστειλε προς σε, λεγων, Θελω αναλαβει εκ της αρρωστιας ταυτης;
10 "Go and tell him," Elisha answered, "that he will surely recover. However, the LORD has showed me that he will in fact die."	10 Και ειπε προς αυτον ο Ελισσαιε, Υπαγε, ειπε προς αυτον, Ναι, θελεις αναλαβει πλην ο Κυριος εδειξεν εις εμε οτι εξαπαντος θελει αποθανει.
11 Then he stared him down until Hazael became ill at ease. The man of God wept,	11 Και εστησε το προσωπον αυτου ακινητον, εωσου ερυθριασε? και εκλαυσεν ο ανθρωπος του Θεου.
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."	12 Και ειπεν ο Αζαηλ, Δια τι κλαιεις, κυριε μου; Ο δε απεκριθη, Διοτι εξευρω οσα κακα θελεις καμει εις τους υιους Ισραηλ? τα οχυρωματα αυτων θελεις παραδωσει εις πυρ, και τους νεους αυτων θελεις αποκτεινει εν ρομφαια, και τα νηπια αυτων θελεις συντριψει, και τας εγκυμονουσας αυτων θελεις διασχισει.
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.	13 Και ειπεν ο Αζαηλ, Αλλα τι ειναι ο δουλος σου, ο κυων, ωστε να καμη το μεγα τουτο πραγμα; Και ειπεν ο Ελισσαιε, Ο Κυριος εδειξεν εις εμε, οτι συ θελεις βασιλευσει επι της Συριας.
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.	14 Τοτε ανεχωρησεν απο του Ελισσαιε και ηλθε προς τον κυριον αυτου? ο δε ειπε προς αυτον, Τι σοι ειπεν ο Ελισσαιε; Και απεκριθη, Μοι ειπε, Ναι, θελεις αναλαβει.
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.	15 Την δε ακολουθον ημεραν ελαβε το σκεπασμα και εμβαψας εις υδωρ, εξηπλωσεν επι του προσωπου αυτου? και απεθανε? και αντ' αυτου εβασιλευσεν ο Αζαηλ.
16 In the fifth year of Joram, son of Ahab, king of Israel, Jehoram, son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, became king.	16 Εν δε τω πεμπτω ετει του Ιωραμ, υιου του Αχααβ βασιλεως του Ισραηλ, βασιλευοντος Ιωσαφατ επι του Ιουδα, εβασιλευσεν Ιωραμ, ο υιος του Ιωσαφατ βασιλεως του Ιουδα.
17 He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.	17 Τριακοντα δυο ετων ηλικιας ητο οτε εβασιλευσεν? εβασιλευσε δε οκτω ετη εν Ιερουσαλημ.
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.	18 Και περιεπατησεν εν τη οδω των βασιλεων του Ισραηλ, καθως επραξεν ο οικος του Αχααβ? διοτι η θυγατηρ του Αχααβ ητο γυνη αυτου? και επραξε πονηρα ενωπιον του Κυριου.
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.	19 Αλλ' ο Κυριος δεν ηθελησε να εξολοθρευση τον Ιουδαν, χαριν Δαβιδ του δουλου αυτου, καθως ειπε προς αυτον οτι θελει δωσει εις αυτον λυχνον και εις τους υιους αυτου εις τον αιωνα.
20 During Jehoram's reign, Edom revolted against the sovereignty of Judah and chose a king of its own.	20 Εν ταις ημεραις αυτου απεστατησεν ο Εδωμ απο της υποταγης του Ιουδα, και κατεστησαν βασιλεα εφ' εαυτων.
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.	21 Οθεν διεβη ο Ιωραμ εις Σαειρ, και πασαι αι αμαξαι μετ' αυτου? και σηκωθεις δια νυκτος, επαταξε τους Ιδουμαιους τους κυκλω αυτου και τους αμαξαρχας? ο δε λαος εφυγον εις τας σκηνας αυτων.
22 To this day Edom has been in revolt against the rule of Judah. Libnah also revolted at that time.	22 Πλην ο Εδωμ απεστατησεν απο της υποταγης του Ιουδα, εως της ημερας ταυτης. Τοτε κατα τον αυτον καιρον απεστατησεν η Λιβνα.
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.	23 Αι δε λοιπαι πραξεις του Ιωραμ και παντα οσα επραξε, δεν ειναι γεγραμμενα εν τω βιβλιω των χρονικων των βασιλεων του Ιουδα;
24 Jehoram rested with his ancestors and was buried with them in the City of David. His son Ahaziah succeeded him as king.	24 Και εκοιμηθη ο Ιωραμ μετα των πατερων αυτου και εταφη μετα των πατερων αυτου εν τη πολει Δαβιδ? εβασιλευσε δε αντ' αυτου Οχοζιας ο υιος αυτου.
25 Ahaziah, son of Jehoram, king of Judah, became king in the twelfth year of Joram, son of Ahab, king of Israel.	25 Εν τω δωδεκατω ετει του Ιωραμ, υιου του Αχααβ βασιλεως του Ισραηλ, εβασιλευσεν Οχοζιας, ο υιος του Ιωραμ βασιλεως του Ιουδα.
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.	26 Εικοσιδυο ετων ηλικιας ητο ο Οχοζιας οτε εβασιλευσεν? εβασιλευσε δε εν ετος εν Ιερουσαλημ. Και το ονομα της μητρος αυτου ητο Γοθολια, θυγατηρ του Αμρι, βασιλεως του Ισραηλ.
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.	27 Και περιεπατησεν εν τη οδω του οικου του Αχααβ, και επραξε πονηρα ενωπιον του Κυριου, καθως ο οικος του Αχααβ? διοτι ητο γαμβρος του οικου του Αχααβ.
28 He joined Joram, son of Ahab, in battle against Hazael, king of Aram, at Ramoth-gilead, where the Arameans wounded Joram.	28 Και υπηγε μετα του Ιωραμ υιου του Αχααβ εις πολεμον εναντιον του Αζαηλ βασιλεως της Συριας εις Ραμωθ-γαλααδ? και ετραυματισαν οι Συριοι τον Ιωραμ.
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.	29 Και επεστρεψεν ο βασιλευς Ιωραμ δια να ιατρευθη εν Ιεζραελ απο των τραυματων, τα οποια οι Συριοι εκαμον εις αυτον εν Ραμα, οτε επολεμει εναντιον του Αζαηλ βασιλεως της Συριας. Οχοζιας δε ο υιος του Ιωραμ, βασιλευς του Ιουδα, κατεβη δια να ιδη τον Ιωραμ υιον του Αχααβ εν Ιεζραελ, διοτι ητο αρρωστος.
