2 Chronicles 16

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAINLXX
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 και εν τω ογδοω και τριακοστω ετει της βασιλειας ασα ανεβη βαασα βασιλευς ισραηλ επι ιουδαν και ωκοδομησεν την ραμα του μη δουναι εξοδον και εισοδον τω ασα βασιλει 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 και ελαβεν ασα χρυσιον και αργυριον εκ θησαυρων οικου κυριου και οικου του βασιλεως και απεστειλεν προς τον υιον του αδερ βασιλεως συριας τον 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 διαθου διαθηκην ανα μεσον εμου και σου και ανα μεσον του πατρος μου και ανα μεσον του πατρος σου ιδου απεσταλκα σοι χρυσιον και αργυριον δευρο και διασκεδασον απ' εμου τον βαασα βασιλεα ισραηλ και απελθετω 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 ηκουσεν υιος αδερ του βασιλεως ασα και απεστειλεν τους αρχοντας της δυναμεως αυτου επι τας πολεις ισραηλ και επαταξεν την ιων και την δαν και την αβελμαιν και πασας τας περιχωρους νεφθαλι
5 And when Baasha had heard of it, he ceased to build around Ramah, and he interrupted his work.5 και εγενετο εν τω ακουσαι βαασα απελιπεν του μηκετι οικοδομειν την ραμα και κατεπαυσεν 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 ασα ο βασιλευς ελαβεν παντα τον ιουδαν και ελαβεν τους λιθους της ραμα και τα ξυλα αυτης α ωκοδομησεν βαασα και ωκοδομησεν εν αυτοις την γαβαε και την μασφα
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 και εν τω καιρω εκεινω ηλθεν ανανι ο προφητης προς ασα βασιλεα ιουδα και ειπεν αυτω εν τω πεποιθεναι σε επι βασιλεα συριας και μη πεποιθεναι σε επι κυριον θεον σου δια τουτο εσωθη δυναμις 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 ουχ οι αιθιοπες και λιβυες ησαν εις δυναμιν πολλην εις θαρσος εις ιππεις εις πληθος σφοδρα και εν τω πεποιθεναι σε επι κυριον παρεδωκεν εις τας χειρας 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 οτι οι οφθαλμοι κυριου επιβλεπουσιν εν παση τη γη κατισχυσαι εν παση καρδια πληρει προς αυτον ηγνοηκας επι τουτω απο του νυν εσται μετα σου πολεμος
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 εθυμωθη ασα τω προφητη και παρεθετο αυτον εις φυλακην οτι ωργισθη επι τουτω και ελυμηνατο ασα εν τω λαω εν τω καιρω εκεινω
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 οι λογοι ασα οι πρωτοι και οι εσχατοι γεγραμμενοι εν βιβλιω βασιλεων ιουδα και 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 και εμαλακισθη ασα εν τω ενατω και τριακοστω ετει της βασιλειας αυτου τους ποδας εως σφοδρα εμαλακισθη και εν τη μαλακια αυτου ουκ εζητησεν 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 ασα μετα των πατερων αυτου και ετελευτησεν εν τω ενατω και τριακοστω 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 εν τω μνηματι ω ωρυξεν εαυτω εν πολει δαυιδ και εκοιμισαν αυτον επι της κλινης και επλησαν αρωματων και γενη μυρων μυρεψων και εποιησαν αυτω εκφοραν μεγαλην εως σφοδρα
