2 Chronicles 21

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	GREEK BIBLE
1 Jehoshaphat rested with his ancestors; he was buried with them in the City of David. Jehoram, his son, succeeded him as king.	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.
2 His brothers, sons of Jehoshaphat, were Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariah, Michael and Shephatiah; all these were sons of King Jehoshaphat of Judah.	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.
3 Their father gave them numerous gifts of silver, gold and precious objects, together with fortified cities in Judah, but the kingship he gave to Jehoram because he was the first-born.	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.
4 When Jehoram had come into his father's kingdom and had consolidated his power, he put to the sword all his brothers and also some of the princes of Israel.	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.
5 Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.	5 Τριακοντα δυο ετων ηλικιας ητο ο Ιωραμ οτε εβασιλευσε, και εβασιλευσεν οκτω ετη εν Ιερουσαλημ.
6 He conducted himself like the kings of Israel of the line of Ahab, because one of Ahab's daughters was his wife. He did evil in the sight of the LORD,	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.
7 but the LORD would not destroy the house of David because of the covenant he had made with David and because of his promise to give him and his sons a lamp for all time.	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.
8 During his time Edom revolted against the sovereignty of Judah; they chose a king of their own.	8 Εν ταις ημεραις αυτου απεστατησεν ο Εδωμ απο της υποταγης του Ιουδα, και κατεστησαν βασιλεα εφ' εαυτους.
9 Thereupon Jehoram crossed over with his officers and all the chariots he had. He arose by night and broke through the Edomites when they had surrounded him and the commanders of his chariots.	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.
10 However, Edom has continued in revolt against the sovereignty of Judah down to the present time. Libnah also revolted at that time against Jehoram's sovereignty because he had forsaken the LORD, the God of his fathers.	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.
11 He also set up high places in the mountains of Judah; he led the inhabitants of Jerusalem into idolatry and seduced Judah.	11 Αυτος ωκοδομησεν ετι υψηλους τοπους επι τα ορη του Ιουδα, και εκαμε τους κατοικους της Ιερουσαλημ να πορνευωσι και απεπλανησε τον Ιουδαν.
12 He received a letter from the prophet Elijah with this message: "Thus says the LORD, the God of your ancestor David: 'Because you have not followed the path of your father Jehoshaphat, nor of Asa, king of Judah,	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,
13 but instead have walked in the way of the kings of Israel and have led Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem into idolatry, as did the house of Ahab, and also because you have murdered your brothers of your father's house who were better than you,	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,
14 the LORD will strike your people, your children, your wives, and all that is yours with a great plague;	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?
15 and you shall have severe pains from a disease in your bowels, while your bowels issue forth because of the disease, day after day.'"	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.
16 Then the LORD stirred up against Jehoram the animosity of the Philistines and of the Arabs who bordered on the Ethiopians.	16 Ο Κυριος ετι διηγειρεν εναντιον του Ιωραμ το πνευμα των Φιλισταιων και των Αραβων, των πλησιοχωρων των Αιθιοπων?
17 They came up against Judah, invaded it, and carried away all the wealth found in the king's palace, along with his sons and his wives; there was left to him only one son, Jehoahaz, his youngest.	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.
18 After these events, the LORD afflicted him with an incurable disease of the bowels.	18 Μετα δε παντα ταυτα επαταξεν αυτον ο Κυριος εις τα εντοσθια αυτου με αρρωστιαν ανιατον?
19 As time went on until a period of two years had elapsed, his bowels issued forth because of the disease and he died in great pain. His people did not made a pyre for him like that of his fathers.	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.
20 He was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. He departed unloved and was buried in the City of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.	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.
