ΠΑΡΑΛΕΙΠΟΜΕΝΩΝ Β´ - 2 Cronache - Chronicles II 21

GREEK BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
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.	1 Then Jehoshaphat fel asleep with his ancestors and was buried with them in the city of David; his sonJehoram succeeded him.
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.	2 Jehoram's brothers, sons of Jehoshaphat, were Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariahu, Michael andShephatiah -- al of them sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel.
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.	3 Their father had lavishly given them presents of silver, gold and other valuables as wel as fortifiedtowns in Judah; but the throne he bequeathed to Jehoram since he was the first-born.
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.	4 Jehoram, having taken control of his father's kingdom and secured his own position, put al hisbrothers to the sword and some officials of Israel too.
5 Τριακοντα δυο ετων ηλικιας ητο ο Ιωραμ οτε εβασιλευσε, και εβασιλευσεν οκτω ετη εν Ιερουσαλημ.	5 Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he came to the throne, and he reigned for eight years inJerusalem.
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.	6 He followed the example of the kings of Israel as the House of Ahab were doing, he having marriedone of Ahab's daughters; and he did what is displeasing to Yahweh.
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.	7 But Yahweh would not destroy the House of David, because of the covenant which he had made withDavid, promising to provide him and his sons with a lamp for ever.
8 Εν ταις ημεραις αυτου απεστατησεν ο Εδωμ απο της υποταγης του Ιουδα, και κατεστησαν βασιλεα εφ' εαυτους.	8 In his time Edom threw off the domination of Judah and set up a king for itself.
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.	9 Jehoram crossed the frontier, and with him his commanders and al his chariots. Under cover of dark,he and his chariot commanders broke through the Edomites surrounding him.
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.	10 Thus Edom threw off the domination of Judah and has remained free to the present day. Libnahrevolted against him at the same time, because he had abandoned Yahweh, God of his ancestors.
11 Αυτος ωκοδομησεν ετι υψηλους τοπους επι τα ορη του Ιουδα, και εκαμε τους κατοικους της Ιερουσαλημ να πορνευωσι και απεπλανησε τον Ιουδαν.	11 What is more, he set up high places in the highlands of Judah, leading the citizens of Jerusalem andthe people of Judah into apostasy.
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,	12 Something written by the prophet Elijah then came into his hands. It said, 'Yahweh, God of yourancestor David, says this, "Since you have not fol owed the example of your father Jehoshaphat or of Asa kingof Judah,
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,	13 but have fol owed the example of the kings of Israel and have led Judah and the citizens ofJerusalem into apostasy, just as the House of Ahab has led Israel into apostasy, and have even murdered yourbrothers, your own family, who were better men than you,
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?	14 Yahweh is going to afflict your people, your sons, your wives and al your property with a greatcalamity,
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.	15 and you yourself with a severe disease affecting your bowels, as a result of which disease,continuing day after day, you wil suffer protrusion of your bowels." '
16 Ο Κυριος ετι διηγειρεν εναντιον του Ιωραμ το πνευμα των Φιλισταιων και των Αραβων, των πλησιοχωρων των Αιθιοπων?	16 Yahweh then roused the hostility of the Philistines and of the Arabs living near the Cushites againstJehoram.
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.	17 They invaded Judah, forcing their way into it and carrying off all the property to be found in the king'spalace, as wel as his sons and his wives, so that he was left no sons at al except his youngest son Jehoahaz.
18 Μετα δε παντα ταυτα επαταξεν αυτον ο Κυριος εις τα εντοσθια αυτου με αρρωστιαν ανιατον?	18 And after al this, Yahweh afflicted him with an incurable disease of the bowels;
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.	19 in due time, after about two years, his bowels protruded as a result of his disease and he died inacute pain. His people did not make a funeral pyre for him, as they had for his ancestors.
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.	20 He was thirty-two years old when he came to the throne and he reigned for eight years in Jerusalem.He passed away unlamented and was buried in the City of David, though not in the tombs of the kings.
