2 Kings 8

NEW JERUSALEM	LXX
1 Elisha had said to the woman whose son he had raised to life, 'Move away with your family, and livewhere you can in some foreign country, for Yahweh has cal ed up a famine -- it is already coming on the country-- for seven years.'	1 και ελισαιε ελαλησεν προς την γυναικα ης εζωπυρησεν τον υιον λεγων αναστηθι και δευρο συ και ο οικος σου και παροικει ου εαν παροικησης οτι κεκληκεν κυριος λιμον επι την γην και γε ηλθεν επι την γην επτα ετη
2 The woman hurried to do what the man of God had told her: she set out, she and her family, and forseven years she lived in Philistine territory.	2 και ανεστη η γυνη και εποιησεν κατα το ρημα ελισαιε και επορευθη αυτη και ο οικος αυτης και παρωκει εν γη αλλοφυλων επτα ετη
3 When the seven years were over, the woman returned from Philistine territory and went to lodge a claimwith the king for her house and land.	3 και εγενετο μετα το τελος των επτα ετων και επεστρεψεν η γυνη εκ γης αλλοφυλων εις την πολιν και ηλθεν βοησαι προς τον βασιλεα περι του οικου εαυτης και περι των αγρων εαυτης
4 Now the king was talking to Gehazi, the servant of the man of God. 'Tel me', he was saying, 'al aboutthe marvels which Elisha did.'	4 και ο βασιλευς ελαλει προς γιεζι το παιδαριον ελισαιε του ανθρωπου του θεου λεγων διηγησαι δη μοι παντα τα μεγαλα α εποιησεν ελισαιε
5 Gehazi was just tel ing the king how Elisha had raised the dead child to life, when the woman whose sonElisha had raised lodged her claim with the king for her house and land. 'My lord king,' Gehazi said, 'this is thevery woman, and that is her son whom Elisha raised to life.'	5 και εγενετο αυτου εξηγουμενου τω βασιλει ως εζωπυρησεν υιον τεθνηκοτα και ιδου η γυνη ης εζωπυρησεν τον υιον αυτης ελισαιε βοωσα προς τον βασιλεα περι του οικου εαυτης και περι των αγρων εαυτης και ειπεν γιεζι κυριε βασιλευ αυτη η γυνη και ουτος ο υιος αυτης ον εζωπυρησεν ελισαιε
6 The king questioned the woman, who told him the story. The king then delegated one of the officials toher with this order, 'See that al her property is restored to her, and al the revenue from her land from the dayshe left the country until now.'	6 και επηρωτησεν ο βασιλευς την γυναικα και διηγησατο αυτω και εδωκεν αυτη ο βασιλευς ευνουχον ενα λεγων επιστρεψον παντα τα αυτης και παντα τα γενηματα του αγρου αυτης απο της ημερας ης κατελιπεν την γην εως του νυν
7 Elisha went to Damascus. Ben-Hadad king of Aram was il , and was told, 'The man of God has come althe way to us.'	7 και ηλθεν ελισαιε εις δαμασκον και υιος αδερ βασιλευς συριας ηρρωστει και ανηγγειλαν αυτω λεγοντες ηκει ο ανθρωπος του θεου εως ωδε
8 Then the king said to Hazael, 'Take a present with you and go and meet the man of God; consultYahweh through him, and find out if I shal recover from my il ness.'	8 και ειπεν ο βασιλευς προς αζαηλ λαβε εν τη χειρι σου μαναα και δευρο εις απαντην τω ανθρωπω του θεου και επιζητησον τον κυριον παρ' αυτου λεγων ει ζησομαι εκ της αρρωστιας μου ταυτης
9 So Hazael went to meet Elisha, taking with him as a present the best that Damascus could offer, a loadfor forty camels. He arrived and, presenting himself, said, 'Your son Ben-Hadad king of Aram has sent me to askyou, "Shall I recover from my illness?" '	9 και επορευθη αζαηλ εις απαντην αυτου και ελαβεν μαναα εν τη χειρι αυτου και παντα τα αγαθα δαμασκου αρσιν τεσσαρακοντα καμηλων και ηλθεν και εστη ενωπιον αυτου και ειπεν προς ελισαιε ο υιος σου υιος αδερ βασιλευς συριας απεστειλεν με προς σε λεγων ει ζησομαι εκ της αρρωστιας μου ταυτης
10 Elisha replied, 'Go and tell him, "You might recover," though Yahweh has shown me that he wilcertainly die.'	10 και ειπεν ελισαιε δευρο ειπον αυτω ζωη ζηση και εδειξεν μοι κυριος οτι θανατω αποθανη
11 Then the face of the man of God went rigid, and his look grew strangely fixed, and he wept.	11 και παρεστη τω προσωπω αυτου και εθηκεν εως αισχυνης και εκλαυσεν ο ανθρωπος του θεου
12 'Why', Hazael asked, 'does my lord weep?' 'Because I know', Elisha replied, 'what harm you wil do tothe Israelites: you wil burn down their fortresses, put their picked warriors to the sword, dash their little childrento pieces, disembowel their pregnant women.'	12 και ειπεν αζαηλ τι οτι ο κυριος μου κλαιει και ειπεν οτι οιδα οσα ποιησεις τοις υιοις ισραηλ κακα τα οχυρωματα αυτων εξαποστελεις εν πυρι και τους εκλεκτους αυτων εν ρομφαια αποκτενεις και τα νηπια αυτων ενσεισεις και τας εν γαστρι εχουσας αυτων αναρρηξεις
13 'But what is your servant?' Hazael said. 'How could this dog achieve anything so great?' 'In a visionfrom Yahweh,' Elisha replied, 'I have seen you king of Aram.'	13 και ειπεν αζαηλ τις εστιν ο δουλος σου ο κυων ο τεθνηκως οτι ποιησει το ρημα τουτο και ειπεν ελισαιε εδειξεν μοι κυριος σε βασιλευοντα επι συριαν
14 Leaving Elisha, Hazael went back to his master who asked, 'What did Elisha say to you?' He replied,'He told me that you might recover.'	14 και απηλθεν απο ελισαιε και εισηλθεν προς τον κυριον αυτου και ειπεν αυτω τι ειπεν σοι ελισαιε και ειπεν ειπεν μοι ζωη ζηση
15 Next day he took a blanket, soaked it in water, and spread it over his face. So died Ben-Hadad, andHazael succeeded him.	15 και εγενετο τη επαυριον και ελαβεν το μαχμα και εβαψεν εν τω υδατι και περιεβαλεν επι το προσωπον αυτου και απεθανεν και εβασιλευσεν αζαηλ αντ' αυτου
16 In the fifth year of Jehoram son of Ahab, king of Israel, Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat became king ofJudah.	16 εν ετει πεμπτω τω ιωραμ υιω αχααβ βασιλει ισραηλ εβασιλευσεν ιωραμ υιος ιωσαφατ βασιλευς ιουδα
17 He was thirty-two years old when he came to the throne, and he reigned for eight years in Jerusalem.	17 υιος τριακοντα και δυο ετων ην εν τω βασιλευειν αυτον και οκτω ετη εβασιλευσεν εν ιερουσαλημ
18 He followed the example of the kings of Israel as the House of Ahab were doing; he had married one ofAhab's daughters; and he did what is displeasing to Yahweh.	18 και επορευθη εν οδω βασιλεων ισραηλ καθως εποιησεν οικος αχααβ οτι θυγατηρ αχααβ ην αυτω εις γυναικα και εποιησεν το πονηρον ενωπιον κυριου
19 But Yahweh was unwil ing to destroy Judah, because of his servant David, and was faithful to thepromise which he had made him to leave him a lamp for ever in his presence.	19 και ουκ ηθελησεν κυριος διαφθειραι τον ιουδαν δια δαυιδ τον δουλον αυτου καθως ειπεν δουναι αυτω λυχνον και τοις υιοις αυτου πασας τας ημερας
20 In his time Edom threw off the domination of Judah and set up a king for itself.	20 εν ταις ημεραις αυτου ηθετησεν εδωμ υποκατωθεν χειρος ιουδα και εβασιλευσαν εφ' εαυτους βασιλεα
21 Jehoram crossed to Zair, and with him al the chariots . . . Under cover of dark, he and his chariotcommanders broke through the Edomites surrounding him; the people fled to their tents.	21 και ανεβη ιωραμ εις σιωρ και παντα τα αρματα μετ' αυτου και εγενετο αυτου ανασταντος και επαταξεν τον εδωμ τον κυκλωσαντα επ' αυτον και τους αρχοντας των αρματων και εφυγεν ο λαος εις τα σκηνωματα αυτων
22 Even so, Edom threw off the domination of Judah, remaining free to the present day. Libnah alsorevolted at that time.	22 και ηθετησεν εδωμ υποκατωθεν χειρος ιουδα εως της ημερας ταυτης τοτε ηθετησεν λοβενα εν τω καιρω εκεινω
23 The rest of the history of Jehoram, his entire career, is this not recorded in the Book of the Annals ofthe Kings of Judah?	23 και τα λοιπα των λογων ιωραμ και παντα οσα εποιησεν ουκ ιδου ταυτα γεγραπται επι βιβλιω λογων των ημερων τοις βασιλευσιν ιουδα
24 Then Jehoram fel asleep with his ancestors and was buried with them in the City of David; his sonAhaziah succeeded him.	24 και εκοιμηθη ιωραμ μετα των πατερων αυτου και εταφη μετα των πατερων αυτου εν πολει δαυιδ του πατρος αυτου και εβασιλευσεν οχοζιας υιος αυτου αντ' αυτου
25 In the twelfth year of Jehoram son of Ahab, king of Israel, Ahaziah son of Jehoram, king of Judah,became king.	25 εν ετει δωδεκατω τω ιωραμ υιω αχααβ βασιλει ισραηλ εβασιλευσεν οχοζιας υιος ιωραμ
26 Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he came to the throne, and he reigned for one year inJerusalem. His mother's name was Athaliah granddaughter of Omri king of Israel.	26 υιος εικοσι και δυο ετων οχοζιας εν τω βασιλευειν αυτον και ενιαυτον ενα εβασιλευσεν εν ιερουσαλημ και ονομα της μητρος αυτου γοθολια θυγατηρ αμβρι βασιλεως ισραηλ
27 He followed the example of the House of Ahab and did what is displeasing to Yahweh, as the House ofAhab were doing, to whom he was related by marriage.	27 και επορευθη εν οδω οικου αχααβ και εποιησεν το πονηρον ενωπιον κυριου καθως ο οικος αχααβ
28 He went with Jehoram son of Ahab to make war on Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth in Gilead, but theAramaeans wounded Jehoram.	28 και επορευθη μετα ιωραμ υιου αχααβ εις πολεμον μετα αζαηλ βασιλεως αλλοφυλων εν ρεμμωθ γαλααδ και επαταξαν οι συροι τον ιωραμ
29 King Jehoram returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds which he had received at Ramah,fighting against Hazael king of Aram. Ahaziah son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to Jezreel to visitJehoram son of Ahab because he was ailing.	29 και επεστρεψεν ο βασιλευς ιωραμ του ιατρευθηναι εν ιεζραελ απο των πληγων ων επαταξαν αυτον εν ρεμμωθ εν τω πολεμειν αυτον μετα αζαηλ βασιλεως συριας και οχοζιας υιος ιωραμ κατεβη του ιδειν τον ιωραμ υιον αχααβ εν ιεζραελ οτι ηρρωστει αυτος
