2 Chronicles 16

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 Then, in the thirty-sixth year of his reign, Baasha, the king of Israel, ascended against Judah. And he encircled Ramah with a wall, so that no one could safely depart or enter from the kingdom of Asa.	1 Εν τω τριακοστω εκτω ετει της βασιλειας του Ασα, ο Βαασα βασιλευς του Ισραηλ ανεβη εναντιον του Ιουδα και ωκοδομησε την Ραμα, δια να μη αφινη μηδενα να εξερχηται μηδε να εισερχηται προς τον Ασα βασιλεα του Ιουδα.
2 Therefore, Asa brought forth silver and gold from the treasuries of the house of the Lord, and from the treasuries of the king. And he sent to Benhadad, the king of Syria, who was living in Damascus, saying:	2 Τοτε ο Ασα εξεφερεν αργυριον και χρυσιον εκ των θησαυρων του οικου του Κυριου και του οικου του βασιλεως, και απεστειλε προς τον Βεν-αδαδ βασιλεα της Συριας, κατοικουντα εν Δαμασκω, λεγων,
3 “There is a pact between me and you. Also, my father and your father had an agreement. For this reason, I have sent silver and gold to you, so that you may break the pact that you have with Baasha, the king of Israel, and so that you may cause him to withdraw from me.”	3 Ας γεινη συνθηκη αναμεσον εμου και σου, ως ητο και αναμεσον του πατρος μου και του πατρος σου? ιδου, απεστειλα προς σε αργυριον και χρυσιον? υπαγε, διαλυσον την συνθηκην σου την προς Βαασα βασιλεα του Ισραηλ, δια να αναχωρηση απ' εμου.
4 And when he verified this, Benhadad sent the leaders of his armies to the cities of Israel. And they struck Ahion, and Dan, and Abelmaim, and all the walled cities of Naphtali.	4 Και εισηκουσεν ο Βεν-αδαδ εις τον βασιλεα Ασα, και απεστειλε τους αρχηγους των δυναμεων αυτου εναντιον των πολεων του Ισραηλ? και επαταξαν την Ιιων και την Δαν και την Αβελ-μαιμ και πασας τας αποθηκας των πολεων Νεφθαλι.
5 And when Baasha had heard of it, he ceased to build around Ramah, and he interrupted his work.	5 Και ως ηκουσεν ο Βαασα, επαυσε να οικοδομη την Ραμα και κατελιπε το εργον αυτου.
6 Then king Asa took all of Judah, and they carried away from Ramah the stones and the wood that Baasha had prepared for the things to be built. And he built up Gibeah and Mizpah with them.	6 Και παρελαβεν ο βασιλευς Ασα παντα τον Ιουδαν, και εσηκωσαν τους λιθους της Ραμα και τα ξυλα αυτης, με τα οποια ωκοδομει ο Βαασα? και με ταυτα ωκοδομησε την Γαβαα και την Μισπα.
7 In that time, the prophet Hanani went to Asa, the king of Judah, and he said to him: “Because you have faith in the king of Syria, and not in the Lord your God, therefore the army of the king of Syria has escaped from your hand.	7 Κατ' εκεινον δε τον καιρον Ανανι ο βλεπων ηλθε προς Ασα τον βασιλεα του Ιουδα και ειπε προς αυτον, Επειδη επεστηριχθης επι τον βασιλεα της Συριας και δεν επεστηριχθης επι Κυριον τον Θεον σου, δια τουτο εξεφυγε το στρατευμα του βασιλεως της Συριας απο της χειρος σου?
8 Were not the Ethiopians and the Libyans much more numerous in chariots, and horsemen, and an exceedingly great multitude? Yet when you believed in the Lord, he delivered them into your hand.	8 οι Αιθιοπες και οι Λιβυες δεν ησαν στρατευμα μεγα, μετα πολυαριθμων αμαξων και ιππεων; επειδη ομως επεστηριχθης εις τον Κυριον, παρεδωκεν αυτους εις την χειρα σου?
9 For the eyes of the Lord contemplate the entire earth, and offer fortitude to those who believe in him with a perfect heart. And so, you acted foolishly. And so, because of this, from the present time wars shall rise up against you.”	9 διοτι οι οφθαλμοι του Κυριου περιτρεχουσι δια πασης της γης, δια να δειχθη δυνατος υπερ των εχοντων την καρδιαν αυτων τελειαν προς αυτον? εις τουτο επραξας αφρονως? δια τουτο θελεις εχει πολεμους εις το εξης.
10 And Asa was angry against the seer, and he ordered him to be sent into prison. For indeed, he had been very indignant over this. And in that time, he put to death very many of the people.	10 Και ωργισθη ο Ασα κατα του βλεποντος και εβαλεν αυτον εις φυλακην? διοτι ηγανακτησεν εναντιον αυτου δια τουτο. Και κατεθλιψεν ο Ασα τινας εκ του λαου εν εκεινω τω καιρω.
11 But the works of Asa, the first and the last, have been written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.	11 Και ιδου, αι πραξεις του Ασα, αι πρωται και αι εσχαται, ιδου, ειναι γεγραμμεναι εν τω βιβλιω των βασιλεων του Ιουδα και του Ισραηλ.
12 And now Asa became ill, in the thirty-ninth year of his reign, with a very severe pain in his feet. And yet, in his infirmity, he did not seek the Lord. Instead, he trusted more in the skill of physicians.	12 Ηρρωστησε δε ο Ασα τους ποδας αυτου εν τω τριακοστω εννατω ετει της βασιλειας αυτου, εωσου η αρρωστια αυτου εγεινε μεγιστη? αλλ' ουδε εν τη αρρωστια αυτου εξεζητησε τον Κυριον, αλλα τους ιατρους.
13 And he slept with his fathers. And he died in the forty-first year of his reign.	13 Και εκοιμηθη ο Ασα μετα των πατερων αυτου? και απεθανεν εν τω τεσσαρακοστω πρωτω ετει της βασιλειας αυτου.
14 And they buried him in his own sepulcher, which he had made for himself in the City of David. And they placed him upon his bed, full of the aromatics and ointments of courtesans, which were composed with the skill of the perfumers. And they burned these over him with very great ostentation.	14 Και εθαψαν αυτον εις τον ταφον αυτου, τον οποιον εσκαψε δι' εαυτον εν πολει Δαβιδ, και εθεσαν αυτον επι κλινης πληρους ευωδιας και διαφορων αρωματων μυρεψικων? και εκαμον εις αυτον καυσιν μεγαλην σφοδρα.
