2 Kings 13

NEW JERUSALEM	LXX
1 In the twenty-third year of Joash son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, Jehoahaz son of Jehu became king ofIsrael in Samaria. He reigned for seventeen years.	1 εν ετει εικοστω και τριτω ετει τω ιωας υιω οχοζιου βασιλει ιουδα εβασιλευσεν ιωαχας υιος ιου εν σαμαρεια επτακαιδεκα ετη
2 He did what is displeasing to Yahweh and copied the sin into which Jeroboam son of Nebat had ledIsrael; he did not give it up.	2 και εποιησεν το πονηρον εν οφθαλμοις κυριου και επορευθη οπισω αμαρτιων ιεροβοαμ υιου ναβατ ος εξημαρτεν τον ισραηλ ουκ απεστη απ' αυτων
3 This aroused Yahweh's anger against the Israelites, and he delivered them without respite into thepower of Hazael king of Aram and of Ben-Hadad son of Hazael.	3 και ωργισθη θυμω κυριος εν τω ισραηλ και εδωκεν αυτους εν χειρι αζαηλ βασιλεως συριας και εν χειρι υιου αδερ υιου αζαηλ πασας τας ημερας
4 Jehoahaz, however, tried to placate Yahweh, and Yahweh heard him, for he had seen the oppressionwhich the king of Aram was inflicting on Israel.	4 και εδεηθη ιωαχας του προσωπου κυριου και επηκουσεν αυτου κυριος οτι ειδεν την θλιψιν ισραηλ οτι εθλιψεν αυτους βασιλευς συριας
5 Yahweh gave Israel a saviour who freed them from the grip of Aram, and the Israelites lived in theirtents as in the past.	5 και εδωκεν κυριος σωτηριαν τω ισραηλ και εξηλθεν υποκατωθεν χειρος συριας και εκαθισαν οι υιοι ισραηλ εν τοις σκηνωμασιν αυτων καθως εχθες και τριτης
6 But they did not give up the sin into which Jeroboam had led Israel; they persisted in it, and even thesacred pole stayed standing in Samaria.	6 πλην ουκ απεστησαν απο αμαρτιων οικου ιεροβοαμ ος εξημαρτεν τον ισραηλ εν αυταις επορευθησαν και γε το αλσος εσταθη εν σαμαρεια
7 Of Jehoahaz's army Yahweh left only fifty horsemen, ten chariots and ten thousand foot soldiers. Theking of Aram had destroyed them, making them like dust trampled under foot.	7 οτι ουχ υπελειφθη τω ιωαχας λαος αλλ' η πεντηκοντα ιππεις και δεκα αρματα και δεκα χιλιαδες πεζων οτι απωλεσεν αυτους βασιλευς συριας και εθεντο αυτους ως χουν εις καταπατησιν
8 The rest of the history of Jehoahaz, his entire career, his prowess, is this not recorded in the Book ofthe Annals of the Kings of Israel?	8 και τα λοιπα των λογων ιωαχας και παντα οσα εποιησεν και αι δυναστειαι αυτου ουχι ταυτα γεγραμμενα επι βιβλιω λογων των ημερων τοις βασιλευσιν ισραηλ
9 Then Jehoahaz fel asleep with his ancestors, and was buried in Samaria; his son Joash succeededhim.	9 και εκοιμηθη ιωαχας μετα των πατερων αυτου και εθαψαν αυτον μετα των πατερων αυτου εν σαμαρεια και εβασιλευσεν ιωας υιος αυτου αντ' αυτου
10 In the thirty-seventh year of Joash king of Judah, Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, became king of Israel inSamaria. He reigned for sixteen years.	10 εν ετει τριακοστω και εβδομω ετει τω ιωας βασιλει ιουδα εβασιλευσεν ιωας υιος ιωαχας επι ισραηλ εν σαμαρεια εκκαιδεκα ετη
11 He did what is displeasing to Yahweh, he did not give up the sin into which Jeroboam son of Nebathad led Israel; he persisted in it.	11 και εποιησεν το πονηρον εν οφθαλμοις κυριου ουκ απεστη απο πασης αμαρτιας ιεροβοαμ υιου ναβατ ος εξημαρτεν τον ισραηλ εν αυταις επορευθη
12 The rest of the history of Joash, his entire career, his prowess, how he waged war on Amaziah king ofJudah, is this not recorded in the Book of the Annals of the Kings of Israel?	12 και τα λοιπα των λογων ιωας και παντα οσα εποιησεν και αι δυναστειαι αυτου ας εποιησεν μετα αμεσσιου βασιλεως ιουδα ουχι ταυτα γεγραμμενα επι βιβλιω λογων των ημερων τοις βασιλευσιν ισραηλ
13 Then Joash fel asleep with his ancestors, and Jeroboam ascended his throne. Joash was buried inSamaria with the kings of Israel.	13 και εκοιμηθη ιωας μετα των πατερων αυτου και ιεροβοαμ εκαθισεν επι του θρονου αυτου εν σαμαρεια μετα των υιων ισραηλ
14 When Elisha had fal en il of the il ness of which he was to die, Joash king of Israel went down to himand shedding tears over him said, 'Father! Father! Chariot of Israel and its chargers!'	14 και ελισαιε ηρρωστησεν την αρρωστιαν αυτου δι' ην απεθανεν και κατεβη προς αυτον ιωας βασιλευς ισραηλ και εκλαυσεν επι προσωπου αυτου και ειπεν πατερ πατερ αρμα ισραηλ και ιππευς αυτου
15 Elisha said to him, 'Bring bow and arrows,' and he sent for a bow and arrows.	15 και ειπεν αυτω ελισαιε λαβε τοξον και βελη και ελαβεν προς αυτον τοξον και βελη
16 Then Elisha said to the king, 'Draw the bow,' and he drew it. Elisha put his hands over the hands ofthe king,	16 και ειπεν τω βασιλει επιβιβασον την χειρα σου επι το τοξον και επεβιβασεν ιωας την χειρα αυτου επι το τοξον και επεθηκεν ελισαιε τας χειρας αυτου επι τας χειρας του βασιλεως
17 then he said, 'Open the window towards the east,' and he opened it. Then Elisha said, 'Shoot!' And heshot. Elisha said, 'Arrow of victory over Aram! You wil defeat Aram at Aphek-completely.'	17 και ειπεν ανοιξον την θυριδα κατ' ανατολας και ηνοιξεν και ειπεν ελισαιε τοξευσον και ετοξευσεν και ειπεν βελος σωτηριας τω κυριω και βελος σωτηριας εν συρια και παταξεις την συριαν εν αφεκ εως συντελειας
18 Elisha said, 'Take the arrows,' and he took them. Then he said to the king, 'Strike the ground,' and hestruck it three times, then stopped.	18 και ειπεν αυτω ελισαιε λαβε τοξα και ελαβεν και ειπεν τω βασιλει ισραηλ παταξον εις την γην και επαταξεν ο βασιλευς τρις και εστη
19 At this the man of God grew angry with him. 'You should have struck half a dozen times,' he said, 'andyou would have beaten Aram completely; now you wil beat Aram only three times.'	19 και ελυπηθη επ' αυτω ο ανθρωπος του θεου και ειπεν ει επαταξας πεντακις η εξακις τοτε αν επαταξας την συριαν εως συντελειας και νυν τρις παταξεις την συριαν
20 Elisha died and was buried. Bands of Moabites were making incursions into the country every year.	20 και απεθανεν ελισαιε και εθαψαν αυτον και μονοζωνοι μωαβ ηλθον εν τη γη ελθοντος του ενιαυτου
21 Some people happened to be carrying a man out for burial; at the sight of one of these bands, theyflung the man into the tomb of Elisha and made off. The man had no sooner touched the bones of Elisha than hecame to life and stood up on his feet.	21 και εγενετο αυτων θαπτοντων τον ανδρα και ιδου ειδον τον μονοζωνον και ερριψαν τον ανδρα εν τω ταφω ελισαιε και επορευθη και ηψατο των οστεων ελισαιε και εζησεν και ανεστη επι τους ποδας αυτου
22 Hazael king of Aram had oppressed the Israelites throughout the lifetime of Jehoahaz,	22 και αζαηλ εξεθλιψεν τον ισραηλ πασας τας ημερας ιωαχας
23 but Yahweh was kind and took pity on them. Because of the covenant which he had made withAbraham, Isaac and Jacob, he relented towards them; he had no wish to destroy them, he did not cast them outof his presence.	23 και ηλεησεν κυριος αυτους και οικτιρησεν αυτους και επεβλεψεν προς αυτους δια την διαθηκην αυτου την μετα αβρααμ και ισαακ και ιακωβ και ουκ ηθελησεν κυριος διαφθειραι αυτους και ουκ απερριψεν αυτους απο του προσωπου αυτου
24 Hazael king of Aram died, and his son Ben-Hadad succeeded him.	24 και απεθανεν αζαηλ βασιλευς συριας και εβασιλευσεν υιος αδερ υιος αυτου αντ' αυτου
25 From Ben-Hadad son of Hazael, Jehoash son of Jehoahaz recaptured the towns which Hazael hadseized from his father Jehoahaz by force of arms. Joash defeated him three times and recovered the Israelitetowns.	25 και επεστρεψεν ιωας υιος ιωαχας και ελαβεν τας πολεις εκ χειρος υιου αδερ υιου αζαηλ ας ελαβεν εκ χειρος ιωαχας του πατρος αυτου εν τω πολεμω τρις επαταξεν αυτον ιωας και επεστρεψεν τας πολεις ισραηλ
