2 Kings 6

DOUAI-RHEIMS	GREEK BIBLE
1 And the sons of the prophets said to Eliseus: Behold the place where we dwell with thee is too strait for us.	1 Και ειπον οι υιοι των προφητων προς τον Ελισσαιε, Ιδου τωρα, ο τοπος, εις τον οποιον ημεις κατοικουμεν ενωπιον σου, ειναι στενος δι' ημας?
2 Let us go as far as the Jordan and take out of the wood every man a piece of timber, that we may build us there a place to dwell in. And he said: Go.	2 ας υπαγωμεν, παρακαλουμεν, εως του Ιορδανου, και εκειθεν ας λαβωμεν εκαστος μιαν δοκον, και ας καμωμεν εις εαυτους εκει τοπον, δια να κατοικωμεν εκει. Ο δε ειπεν, Υπαγετε.
3 And one of them said: But come thou also with thy servants. He answered: I will come.	3 Και ειπεν ο εις, Ευαρεστηθητι, παρακαλω, να ελθης μετα των δουλων σου. Και ειπε, Θελω ελθει.
4 So he went with them. And when they were come to the Jordan they cut down wood.	4 Και υπηγε μετ' αυτων. Και ελθοντες εις τον Ιορδανην, εκοπτον τα ξυλα.
5 And it happened, as one was felling some timber, that the head of the axe fell into the water: and he cried out, and said: Alas, alas, alas, my lord, for this same was borrowed.	5 Ενω δε ο εις κατεβαλλε την δοκον, επεσε το σιδηριον εις το υδωρ? και εβοησε και ειπεν, Ω, κυριε? και τουτο ητο δανειον?
6 And the man of God said: Where did it fall? and he shewed him the place. Then he cut off a piece of wood, and cast it in thither: and the iron swam.	6 ειπε δε ο ανθρωπος του Θεου, Που επεσε; Και εδειξε τον τοπον εις αυτον. Τοτε εκοψε σχιζαν ξυλου, και ερριψεν εκει? και το σιδηριον επεπλευσε.
7 And he said: Take it up. And he put out his hand and took it.	7 Και ειπεν, Αναλαβε προς σεαυτον. Και εκτεινας την χειρα αυτου, ελαβεν αυτο.
8 And the king of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying: In such and such a place let us lay ambushes.	8 Ο δε βασιλευς της Συριας επολεμει εναντιον του Ισραηλ, και συνεβουλευθη μετα των δουλων αυτου, λεγων, Εις τον δεινα και δεινα τοπον θελω στρατοπεδευσει.
9 And the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying: Beware that thou pass not to such a place: for the Syrians are there in ambush.	9 Και απεστειλεν ο ανθρωπος του Θεου προς τον βασιλεα του Ισραηλ, λεγων, Φυλαχθητι να μη περασης τον τοπον εκεινον, διοτι οι Συριοι στρατοπεδευουσιν εκει.
10 And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God had told him, and prevented him, and looked well to himself there not once nor twice.	10 Και απεστειλεν ο βασιλευς του Ισραηλ εις τον τοπον, τον οποιον ειπε προς αυτον ο ανθρωπος του Θεου και παρηγγειλε περι αυτου? και προεφυλαχθη εκειθεν ουχι απαξ ουδε δις.
11 And the heart of the king of Syria was troubled for this thing. And calling together his servants, he said: Why do you not tell me who it is that betrays me to the king of Israel?	11 Και εταραχθη η καρδια του βασιλεως της Συριας δια το πραγμα τουτο? και συγκαλεσας τους δουλους αυτου, ειπε προς αυτους, Δεν θελετε με αναγγειλει, τις εξ ημων ειναι υπερ του βασιλεως του Ισραηλ;
12 And one of his servants said: No one, my lord O king: but Eliseus the prophet, that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel all the words, that thou speakest in thy privy chamber.	12 Και ειπεν εις εκ των δουλων αυτου, Ουδεις, κυριε μου βασιλευ? αλλ' ο Ελισσαιε ο προφητης, ο εν τω Ισραηλ, αναγγελλει προς τον βασιλεα του Ισραηλ τους λογους, τους οποιους λαλεις εν τω ταμειω του κοιτωνος σου.
13 And he said to them: Go, and see where he is: that I may send, and take him. And they told him, saying: Behold he is in Dothan.	13 Και ειπεν, Υπαγετε και ιδετε που ειναι, δια να στειλω να συλλαβω αυτον. Και ανηγγειλαν προς αυτον, λεγοντες, Ιδου, ειναι εν Δωθαν.
14 Therefore he sent thither horses and chariots, and the strength of an army: and they came by night, and beset the city.	14 Και απεστειλεν εκει ιππους και αμαξας και στρατευμα μεγα, οιτινες, ελθοντες δια νυκτος, περιεκυκλωσαν την πολιν.
15 And the servant of the man of God rising early, went out, and saw an army round about the city, and horses and chariots: and he told him, saying: Alas, alas, alas, my lord, what shall we do?	15 Και οτε εξηγερθη το πρωι ο υπηρετης του ανθρωπου του Θεου και εξηλθεν, ιδου, στρατευμα ειχε περικυκλωμενην την πολιν με ιππους και αμαξας. Και ειπεν ο υπηρετης αυτου προς αυτον, Ω, κυριε, τι θελομεν καμει;
16 But he answered: Fear not: for there are more with us than with them.	16 Ο δε ειπε, Μη φοβου? διοτι πλειοτεροι ειναι οι μεθ' ημων παρα τους μετ' αυτων.
17 And Eliseus prayed, and said: Lord, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the servant, and he saw: and behold the mountain was full of horses, and chariots of fire round about Eliseus.	17 Και προσηυχηθη ο Ελισσαιε και ειπε, Κυριε, Ανοιξον, δεομαι, τους οφθαλμους αυτου, δια να ιδη. Και ηνοιξεν ο Κυριος τους οφθαλμους του υπηρετου, και ειδε? και ιδου, το ορος ητο πληρες ιππων και αμαξων πυρος περι τον Ελισσαιε.
18 And the enemies came down to him, but Eliseus prayed to the Lord, saying: Strike, I beseech thee, this people with blindness. And the Lord struck them with blindness, according to the word of Eliseus.	18 Και οτε κατεβησαν προς αυτον οι Συριοι, προσηυχηθη ο Ελισσαιε προς τον Κυριον και ειπε, Παταξον, δεομαι, τον λαον τουτον με αορασιαν. Και επαταξεν αυτους με αορασιαν, κατα τον λογον του Ελισσαιε.
19 And Eliseus said to them: This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will shew you the man whom you seek. So he led them into Samaria.	19 Και ειπε προς αυτους ο Ελισσαιε, Δεν ειναι αυτη η οδος ουδε αυτη η πολις? ελθετε κατοπιν μου, και θελω σας φερει προς τον ανθρωπον, τον οποιον ζητειτε. Και εφερεν αυτους εις την Σαμαρειαν.
20 And when they were come into Samaria, Eliseus said: Lord, open the eyes of these men, that they may see. And the Lord opened their eyes, and they saw themselves to be in the midst of Samaria.	20 Και οτε ηλθον εις την Σαμαρειαν, ειπεν ο Ελισσαιε, Ανοιξον, Κυριε, τους οφθαλμους τουτων, δια να βλεπωσι. Και ηνοιξεν ο Κυριος τους οφθαλμους αυτων, και ειδον? και ιδου, ησαν εκ τω μεσω της Σαμαρειας.
21 And the king of Israel said to Eliseus, when he saw them: My father, shall I kill them?	21 Και ως ειδεν αυτους ο βασιλευς του Ισραηλ, ειπε προς τον Ελισσαιε, Να παταξω, να παταξω, πατερ μου;
22 And he said: Thou shalt not kill them: for thou didst not take them with thy sword, or thy bow, that thou mayst kill them: but set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master.	22 Ο δε ειπε, Μη παταξης? ηθελες παταξει εκεινους, τους οποιους ηχμαλωτευσας δια της ρομφαιας σου και δια του τοξου σου; θες αρτον και υδωρ εμπροσθεν αυτων, και ας φαγωσι και ας πιωσι και ας απελθωσι προς τον κυριον αυτων.
23 And a great provision of meats was set before them, and they ate and drank, and he let them go, and they went away to their master, and the robbers of Syria came no more into the land of Israel.	23 Και εθεσεν εμπροσθεν αυτων αφθονον τροφην? και αφου εφαγον και επιον, απεστειλεν αυτους, και ανεχωρησαν προς τον κυριον αυτων. Και δεν ηλθον πλεον τα ταγματα της Συριας εις την γην του Ισραηλ.
24 And tit came to pass after these things, that Benadad king of Syria gathered together all his army, and went up, and besieged Samaria.	24 Μετα δε ταυτα ο Βεν-αδαδ βασιλευς της Συριας συνηθροισεν απαν το στρατευμα αυτου, και ανεβη και επολιορκησε την Σαμαρειαν.
25 And there was a great famine in Samaria: and so long did the siege continue, till the head of an ass was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cabe of pigeon's dung, for five pieces of silver.	25 Εγεινε δε πεινα μεγαλη εν Σαμαρεια? και ιδου, επολιορκουν αυτην, εωσου κεφαλη ονου επωληθη δι' ογδοηκοντα αργυρια και το τεταρτον ενος καβου κοπρου περιστερων δια πεντε αργυρια.
26 And as the king of Israel was passing by the wall, a certain woman cried out to him, saying: Save me, my lord O king.	26 Και ενω διεβαινεν ο βασιλευς του Ισραηλ επι του τειχους, γυνη τις εβοησε προς αυτον, λεγουσα, Σωσον, κυριε μου βασιλευ.
27 And he said: If the Lord doth not save thee, how can I save thee? out of the barnfloor, or out of the winepress? And the king said to her: What aileth thee? And she answered:	27 Ο δε ειπεν, Εαν ο Κυριος δεν σε σωση, ποθεν θελω σε σωσει εγω; μη εκ του αλωνιου η εκ του ληνου;
28 This woman said to me: Give thy son, that we may eat him to day, and we will eat my son to morrow.	28 Και ειπε προς αυτην ο βασιλευς, Τι εχεις; Η δε ειπε, Η γυνη αυτη μοι ειπε, Δος τον υιον σου, δια να φαγωμεν αυτον σημερον, και αυριον θελομεν φαγει τον υιον μου?
29 So we boiled my son, and ate him. And I said to her on the next day: Give thy son that we may eat him. And she hath hid her son.	29 και εβρασαμεν τον υιον μου και εφαγομεν αυτον? ειπον δε προς αυτην την ακολουθον ημεραν, Δος τον υιον σου, δια να φαγωμεν αυτον? η δε εκρυψε τον υιον αυτης.
30 When the king heard this, he rent his garments, and passed by upon the wall. And all the people saw the haircloth which he wore within next to his flesh.	30 Και ως ηκουσεν ο βασιλευς τους λογους της γυναικος, διερρηξε τα ιματια αυτου? και ενω διεβαινεν επι του τειχους, ο λαος ειδε, και ιδου, σακκος εσωθεν επι της σαρκος αυτου.
31 And the king said: May God do so and so to me, and may he add more, if the head of Eliseus the son of Saphat shall stand on him this day.	31 Και ειπεν, Ουτω να καμη εις εμε ο Θεος και ουτω να προσθεση, εαν η κεφαλη του Ελισσαιε υιου του Σαφατ σταθη επανω αυτου σημερον.
32 But Eliseus sat in his house, and the ancients sat with him. So he sent a man before: and before that messenger came, he said to the ancients: Do you know that this son of a murderer hath sent to cut off my head? Look then, when the messenger shall come, shut the door, and suffer him not to come in: for behold the sound of his master's feet is behind him.	32 Ο δε Ελισσαιε εκαθητο εν τω οικω αυτου, και οι πρεσβυτεροι εκαθηντο μετ' αυτου? και απεστειλεν ο βασιλευς ανδρα απ' εμπροσθεν αυτου? πριν δε ελθη προς αυτον ο μηνυτης, αυτος ειπε προς τους πρεσβυτερους, Δεν βλεπετε οτι ουτος ο υιος του φονευτου εστειλε να αφαιρεση την κεφαλην μου; βλεπετε, καθως ελθη ο μηνυτης, κλεισατε την θυραν και εμποδισατε αυτον προς την θυραν? η φωνη των ποδων του κυριου αυτου δεν ειναι εξοπισθεν αυτου;
33 While he was yet speaking to them, the messenger appeared who was coming to him. And he said: Behold, so great an evil is from the Lord: what shall I look for more from the Lord?	33 Και ενω ετι ελαλει μετ' αυτων, ιδου, κατεβη προς αυτον ο μηνυτης? και ειπεν, Ιδου, παρα Κυριου ειναι το κακον τουτο? τι πλεον να ελπισω εις τον Κυριον;
