1 Kings 14

NEW JERUSALEM	LXX
1 At that time Abijah, Jeroboam's son, fel sick,	1 -
2 and Jeroboam said to his wife, 'Come, please disguise yourself so that no one will recognise you asJeroboam's wife, and go to Shiloh; the prophet Ahijah is there, the man who said I was to be king of this people.	2 -
3 Go to him, and take ten loaves and some savoury food and a jar of honey; he wil tell you what wilhappen to the child.'	3 -
4 Jeroboam's wife did this: she set out, went to Shiloh and came to Ahijah's house.	4 -
5 Now Ahijah could not see, his eyes were fixed with age, but Yahweh had told him, 'Jeroboam's wife isnow on her way to ask you for a prophecy about her son, as he is sick. You wil tel her such and such. Whenshe comes, she wil pretend to be some other woman.'	5 -
6 So when Ahijah heard her footsteps at the door, he cal ed, 'Come in, wife of Jeroboam; why pretend tobe someone else? I have bad news for you.	6 -
7 Go and tell Jeroboam, "Yahweh, God of Israel, says this: I raised you from the people and made youleader of my people Israel;	7 -
8 I tore the kingdom from the House of David and gave it to you. But you have not been like my servantDavid who kept my commandments and followed me with al his heart, doing only what I regard as right;	8 -
9 you have done more evil than all your predecessors, you have gone and made yourself other gods,idols of cast metal, provoking my anger, and you have turned your back on me.	9 -
10 For this I shal bring disaster on the House of Jeroboam, I shal wipe out every manjack of the familyof Jeroboam, fettered or free in Israel, I shal sweep away the House of Jeroboam as a man sweeps dung awaytill none is left.	10 -
11 Those of Jeroboam's family who die in the city, the dogs wil eat; and those who die in the opencountry, the birds of the air wil eat, for Yahweh has spoken."	11 -
12 Now get up and go home; at the moment your feet enter the town, the child will die.	12 -
13 Al Israel wil mourn for him, and bury him; and he alone of Jeroboam's family will have a properburial, for in him alone of the House of Jeroboam can Yahweh, God of Israel, find anything good.	13 -
14 Yahweh wil set a king over Israel, who will put an end to the House of Jeroboam.	14 -
15 Yahweh wil make Israel shake, til it quivers like a reed in the water; he will uproot Israel from thisprosperous land which he gave to their ancestors and scatter them beyond the River for provoking Yahweh toanger by making their sacred poles.	15 -
16 He wil abandon Israel for the sins which Jeroboam has committed and made Israel commit.'	16 -
17 Jeroboam's wife rose and left. She arrived at Tirzah, and when she crossed the threshold of thepalace, the child was already dead.	17 -
18 They buried him, and al Israel mourned for him, just as Yahweh had foretold through his servantAhijah the prophet.	18 -
19 The rest of the history of Jeroboam, what wars he waged, how he governed, this is recorded in theBook of the Annals of the Kings of Israel.	19 -
20 Jeroboam's reign lasted twenty-two years. Then he fel asleep with his ancestors; his son Nadabsucceeded him.	20 -
21 In Judah, Rehoboam son of Solomon became king; he was forty-one years old when he came to thethrone and he reigned for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which Yahweh had chosen out of al the tribesof Israel, to give his name a home there. His mother's name was Naamah, the Ammonite.	21 και ροβοαμ υιος σαλωμων εβασιλευσεν επι ιουδα υιος τεσσαρακοντα και ενος ενιαυτων ροβοαμ εν τω βασιλευειν αυτον και δεκα επτα ετη εβασιλευσεν εν ιερουσαλημ τη πολει ην εξελεξατο κυριος θεσθαι το ονομα αυτου εκει εκ πασων φυλων του ισραηλ και το ονομα της μητρος αυτου νααμα η αμμανιτις
22 He did what is displeasing to Yahweh, arousing his resentment more than his ancestors by al the sinswhich they had committed;	22 και εποιησεν ροβοαμ το πονηρον ενωπιον κυριου και παρεζηλωσεν αυτον εν πασιν οις εποιησαν οι πατερες αυτου και εν ταις αμαρτιαις αυτων αις ημαρτον
23 they had built themselves high places, and had set up pil ars and sacred poles on every high hil andunder every spreading tree.	23 και ωκοδομησαν εαυτοις υψηλα και στηλας και αλση επι παντα βουνον υψηλον και υποκατω παντος ξυλου συσκιου
24 There were even male sacred prostitutes in the country. He copied all the shameful practices of thenations whom Yahweh had dispossessed for the Israelites.	24 και συνδεσμος εγενηθη εν τη γη και εποιησαν απο παντων των βδελυγματων των εθνων ων εξηρεν κυριος απο προσωπου υιων ισραηλ
25 And so it happened that in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt advanced onJerusalem	25 και εγενετο εν τω ενιαυτω τω πεμπτω βασιλευοντος ροβοαμ ανεβη σουσακιμ βασιλευς αιγυπτου επι ιερουσαλημ
26 and carried off all the treasures of the Temple of Yahweh and the treasures of the royal palace; hetook everything away, including al the golden shields which Solomon had made.	26 και ελαβεν παντας τους θησαυρους οικου κυριου και τους θησαυρους οικου του βασιλεως και τα δορατα τα χρυσα α ελαβεν δαυιδ εκ χειρος των παιδων αδρααζαρ βασιλεως σουβα και εισηνεγκεν αυτα εις ιερουσαλημ τα παντα ελαβεν οπλα τα χρυσα
27 To replace those King Rehoboam made bronze shields, entrusting them to the commanders of theguard who guarded the king's palace gate.	27 και εποιησεν ροβοαμ ο βασιλευς οπλα χαλκα αντ' αυτων και επεθεντο επ' αυτον οι ηγουμενοι των παρατρεχοντων οι φυλασσοντες τον πυλωνα οικου του βασιλεως
28 Whenever the king went to the Temple of Yahweh, the guards would carry them, returning them to theguardroom afterwards.	28 και εγενετο οτε εισεπορευετο ο βασιλευς εις οικον κυριου και ηρον αυτα οι παρατρεχοντες και απηρειδοντο αυτα εις το θεε των παρατρεχοντων
29 The rest of the history of Rehoboam, his entire career, is this not recorded in the Book of the Annalsof the Kings of Judah?	29 και τα λοιπα των λογων ροβοαμ και παντα α εποιησεν ουκ ιδου ταυτα γεγραμμενα εν βιβλιω λογων των ημερων τοις βασιλευσιν ιουδα
30 Warfare between Rehoboam and Jeroboam went on throughout the period.	30 και πολεμος ην ανα μεσον ροβοαμ και ανα μεσον ιεροβοαμ πασας τας ημερας
31 When Rehoboam fel asleep with his ancestors, he was buried in the City of David; his son Abijamsucceeded him.	31 και εκοιμηθη ροβοαμ μετα των πατερων αυτου και θαπτεται μετα των πατερων αυτου εν πολει δαυιδ και εβασιλευσεν αβιου υιος αυτου αντ' αυτου
