2 Chronicles 15

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 Now Azariah, the son of Oded, had the Spirit of God within him.	1 Τοτε ηλθε το πνευμα του Θεου επι Αζαριαν τον υιον του Ωδηδ?
2 And he went out to meet Asa, and he said to him: “Listen to me, Asa and all of Judah and Benjamin. The Lord is with you, because you have been with him. If you seek him, you will find him. But if you abandon him, he will abandon you.	2 και εξηλθεν εις συναντησιν του Ασα και ειπε προς αυτον, Ακουσατε μου, Ασα και πας ο Ιουδας και ο Βενιαμιν? Ο Κυριος ειναι με σας, οταν σεις εισθε μετ' αυτου? και εαν εκζητητε αυτον, θελει ευρεθη εις εσας? εαν ομως εγκαταλειψητε αυτον, θελει σας εγκαταλειψει?
3 Then many days will pass in Israel, apart from the true God, and apart from a learned priest, and apart from the law.	3 πολυν μεν καιρον εσταθη ο Ισραηλ χωρις του αληθινου Θεου και χωρις ιερεως διδασκοντος και χωρις νομου?
4 And when, in their anguish, they will have returned to the Lord, the God of Israel, and will have sought him, they shall find him.	4 οτε ομως εν τη στενοχωρια αυτων επεστρεψαν εις Κυριον τον Θεον του Ισραηλ και εξεζητησαν αυτον, ευρεθη εις αυτους?
5 In that time, there will be no peace for those who depart and those who enter. Instead, there will be terror on every side, among all the inhabitants of the lands.	5 και κατ' εκεινους τους καιρους δεν ητο ειρηνη εις τον εξερχομενον και εις τον εισερχομενον, αλλ' ησαν μεγαλαι ταραχαι επι παντας τους κατοικους των τοπων?
6 For nation will fight against nation, and city against city. For the Lord will disturb them with every anguish.	6 και εφθειρετο εθνος υπο εθνους και πολις υπο πολεως? διοτι ο Θεος κατεθλιβεν αυτους εν παση στενοχωρια?
7 But as for you, be strengthened, and do not let your hands be weakened. For there will be a reward for your work.”	7 σεις δε ενδυναμουσθε, και ας μη ηναι εκλελυμεναι αι χειρες σας? διοτι θελει εισθαι μισθος εις το εργον σας.
8 And when Asa had heard these particular words, and the prophecy of the prophet Azariah, the son of Oded, he was strengthened, and he took away the idols from the entire land of Judah, and from Benjamin, and from the cities that he had seized of mount Ephraim, and he dedicated the altar of the Lord, which was before the portico of the Lord.	8 Και οτε ηκουσεν ο Ασα τους λογους τουτους και την προφητειαν Ωδηδ του προφητου, ενεδυναμωθη και απεβαλε τα βδελυγματα εκ πασης της γης Ιουδα και Βενιαμιν και εκ των πολεων, τας οποιας ελαβεν εκ του ορους Εφραιμ, και ανενεωσε το θυσιαστηριον του Κυριου, το κατ' εμπροσθεν του προναου του Κυριου.
9 And he gathered together all of Judah and Benjamin, and with them the new arrivals from Ephraim and Manasseh and Simeon. For many had fled to him from Israel, seeing that the Lord his God was with him.	9 Και συνηγαγε παντα τον Ιουδαν και τον Βενιαμιν, και τους παροικουντας μετ' αυτων εκ του Εφραιμ και Μανασση και εκ του Συμεων? διοτι πολλοι εκ του Ισραηλ προσεχωρησαν εις αυτον, ιδοντες οτι Κυριος ο Θεος αυτου ητο μετ' αυτου.
10 And when they had arrived in Jerusalem, in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa,	10 Και συνηχθησαν εις Ιερουσαλημ κατα τον τριτον μηνα του δεκατου πεμπτου ετους της βασιλειας του Ασα.
11 they immolated to the Lord on that day, from the best of the spoils and from the plunder that they had brought: seven hundred oxen and seven thousand rams.	11 Και προσεφεραν θυσιας εις τον Κυριον, κατα την ημεραν εκεινην, εκ των λαφυρων τα οποια εφεραν, επτακοσιους βοας και επτα χιλιαδας προβατων.
12 And he entered, according to custom, in order to confirm the covenant, so that they would seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with their whole heart and with their whole soul.	12 Και εισηλθον εις συνθηκην να εκζητησωσι Κυριον τον Θεον των πατερων αυτων, εξ ολης της καρδιας αυτων και εξ ολης της ψυχης αυτων?
13 “But if anyone,” he said, “will not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, let him die, from the least even to the greatest, from man even to woman.”	13 και πας οστις δεν εκζητηση Κυριον τον Θεον του Ισραηλ να θανατονηται, απο μικρου εως μεγαλου, απο ανδρος εως γυναικος.
14 And they swore to the Lord, with a great voice, in jubilation, and with the blare of trumpets, and with the sound of horns,	14 Και ωμοσαν προς τον Κυριον εν φωνη μεγαλη και εν αλαλαγμω και εν σαλπιγξι και εν κερατιναις.
15 all who were in Judah swore with a curse. For with all their heart they swore, and with all their will they sought and found him. And the Lord granted rest on all sides to them.	15 Και πας ο Ιουδας ευφρανθη εις τον ορκον? διοτι ωμοσαν εξ ολης της καρδιας αυτων και εξεζητησαν αυτον μεθ' ολης της θελησεως αυτων? και ευρεθη εις αυτους? και εδωκεν εις αυτους ο Κυριος αναπαυσιν κυκλοθεν.
16 Then too, Maacah, the mother of king Asa, he deposed from the august authority, because she had made an idol of Priapus within a sacred grove. And he entirely crushed it, breaking it into pieces, and he burned it at the torrent Kidron.	16 Ετι δε Μααχα, την μητερα του βασιλεως Ασα, απεβαλεν αυτην του να ηναι βασιλισσα, επειδη εκαμεν ειδωλον εις αλσος? και κατεκοψεν ο Ασα το ειδωλον αυτης και συνετριψε και εκαυσεν αυτο εις τον χειμαρρον Κεδρων.
17 But some high places were left in Israel. Even so, the heart of Asa was perfect during all his days.	17 Οι υψηλοι ομως τοποι δεν αφηρεθησαν απο του Ισραηλ? πλην η καρδια του Ασα ητο τελεια πασας τας ημερας αυτου.
18 And whatever his father or he himself had vowed, he brought into the house of the Lord: silver and gold, and vessels for various uses.	18 Και εφερεν εις τον οικον του Θεου τα αφιερωματα του πατρος αυτου και τα εαυτου αφιερωματα, αργυρον και χρυσον και σκευη.
19 Truly, there was no war, until the thirty-fifth year of the kingdom of Asa.	19 Και δεν εγεινε πολεμος εως του τριακοστου πεμπτου ετους της βασιλειας του Ασα.
