ΒΑΣΙΛΕΙΩΝ Γ´ - 1 Re - Kings III 22

GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Παρηλθον δε τρια ετη ανευ πολεμου αναμεσον της Συριας και του Ισραηλ.	1 Then three years passed without war between Syria and Israel.
2 Κατα δε το τριτον ετος κατεβη Ιωσαφατ ο βασιλευς του Ιουδα προς τον βασιλεα του Ισραηλ.	2 But in the third year, Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, descended to the king of Israel.
3 Και ειπεν ο βασιλευς του Ισραηλ προς τους δουλους αυτου, Εξευρετε οτι η Ραμωθ-γαλααδ ειναι ημων, και ημεις σιωπωμεν εις το να λαβωμεν αυτην εκ της χειρος του βασιλεως της Συριας;	3 And the king of Israel said to his servants, “Are you ignorant that Ramoth Gilead is ours, and that we have neglected to take it from the hand of the king of Syria?”
4 Και ειπε προς τον Ιωσαφατ, Ερχεσαι μετ' εμου δια να πολεμησωμεν την Ραμωθ-γαλααδ; Και ειπεν ο Ιωσαφατ προς τον βασιλεα του Ισραηλ, Εγω ειμαι καθως συ, ο λαος μου καθως ο λαος σου, οι ιπποι μου καθως οι ιπποι σου.	4 And so he said to Jehoshaphat, “Will you come to the battle with me at Ramoth Gilead?”
5 Και ειπεν ο Ιωσαφατ προς τον βασιλεα του Ισραηλ, Ερωτησον, παρακαλω, τον λογον του Κυριου σημερον.	5 And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel: “As I am, so also are you. My people and your people are one. And my horsemen are your horsemen.” And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “I beg you to inquire today of the word of the Lord.”
6 Και συνηθροισεν ο βασιλευς του Ισραηλ τους προφητας, περιπου τετρακοσιους ανδρας, και ειπε προς αυτους, να υπαγω εναντιον της Ραμωθ-γαλααδ να πολεμησω, η να απεχω; οι δε ειπον, Αναβα, και ο Κυριος θελει παραδωσει αυτην εις την χειρα του βασιλεως.	6 Therefore, the king of Israel gathered together the prophets, about four hundred men, and he said to them, “Should I go to Ramoth Gilead to make war, or should I be at peace?” They responded, “Ascend, and the Lord will give it into the hand of the king.”
7 Και ειπεν ο Ιωσαφατ, Δεν ειναι ενταυθα ετι προφητης του Κυριου, δια να ερωτησωμεν δι' αυτου;	7 Then Jehoshaphat said, “Is there not here a particular prophet of the Lord, so that we may inquire by him?”
8 Και ειπεν ο βασιλευς του Ισραηλ προς τον Ιωσαφατ, Ειναι ετι ανθρωπος τις, Μιχαιας, ο υιος του Ιεμλα, δια του οποιου δυναμεθα να ερωτησωμεν τον Κυριον? πλην μισω αυτον? διοτι δεν προφητευει καλον περι εμου, αλλα κακον. Και ειπεν ο Ιωσαφατ, Ας μη λαλη ο βασιλευς ουτως.	8 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat: “One man remains, by whom we may be able to inquire of the Lord: Micaiah, the son of Imlah. But I hate him. For he does not prophecy good to me, but evil.” And Jehoshaphat said, “You should not speak in this way, O king.”
9 Και εκαλεσεν ο βασιλευς του Ισραηλ ενα ευνουχον και ειπε, Σπευσον να φερης Μιχαιαν τον υιον του Ιεμλα.	9 Therefore, the king of Israel called a certain eunuch, and he said to him, “Hurry to bring here Micaiah, the son of Imlah.”
10 Ο δε βασιλευς του Ισραηλ και Ιωσαφατ ο βασιλευς του Ιουδα εκαθηντο, εκαστος επι του θρονου αυτου, ενδεδυμενοι στολας, εν τοπω ανοικτω κατα την εισοδον της πυλης της Σαμαρειας? και παντες οι προφηται προεφητευον εμπροσθεν αυτων.	10 Now the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, were each sitting upon his own throne, clothed in the habit of royal vestments, in a courtyard beside the entrance of the gate of Samaria. And all the prophets were prophesying in their sight.
11 Και Σεδεκιας ο υιος του Χαναανα ειχε καμει εις εαυτον σιδηρα κερατα? και ειπεν, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος? Δια τουτων θελεις κερατισει τους Συριους, εωσου συντελεσης αυτους.	11 Also, Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, made for himself horns of iron, and he said, “Thus says the Lord: With these, you shall threaten Syria, until you destroy it.”
12 Και παντες οι προφηται προεφητευον ουτω, λεγοντες, Αναβα εις Ραμωθ-γαλααδ και ευοδου? διοτι ο Κυριος θελει παραδωσει αυτην εις την χειρα του βασιλεως.	12 And all the prophets were prophesying similarly, saying: “Ascend to Ramoth Gilead, and go forth to success. For the Lord will deliver it into the hands of the king.”
13 Και ο μηνυτης, οστις υπηγε να καλεση τον Μιχαιαν, ειπε προς αυτον, λεγων, Ιδου τωρα, οι λογοι των προφητων φανερονουσιν εξ ενος στοματος καλον περι του βασιλεως? ο λογος σου λοιπον ας ηναι ως ο λογος ενος εξ εκεινων, και λαλησον το καλον.	13 Then truly, the messenger who had gone to summon Micaiah spoke to him, saying: “Behold, the words of the prophets, as if with one mouth, are predicting good to the king. Therefore, let your word be like theirs, and speak what is good.”
14 Ο δε Μιχαιας ειπε, Ζη Κυριος, ο, τι μοι ειπη ο Κυριος, τουτο θελω λαλησει.	14 But Micaiah said to him, “As the Lord lives, whatever the Lord will have said to me, this shall I speak.”
15 Ηλθε λοιπον προς τον βασιλεα. Και ειπεν ο βασιλευς προς αυτον, Μιχαια, να υπαγωμεν εις Ραμωθ-γαλααδ δια να πολεμησωμεν, η να απεχωμεν; Ο δε απεκριθη προς αυτον, Αναβα και ευοδου? διοτι ο Κυριος θελει παραδωσει αυτην εις την χειρα του βασιλεως.	15 And so he went to the king. And the king said to him, “Micaiah, should we go to Ramoth Gilead to do battle, or should we cease?” And he responded to him, “Ascend, and go forth to success, and the Lord will deliver it into the hands of the king.”
16 Και ειπε προς αυτον ο βασιλευς, Εως ποσακις θελω σε ορκιζει, να μη λεγης προς εμε παρα την αληθειαν εν ονοματι Κυριου;	16 But the king said to him, “I require you under oath, again and again, that you not say to me anything except what is true, in the name of the Lord.”
17 Ο δε ειπεν, ειδον παντα τον Ισραηλ διεσπαρμενον επι τα ορη, ως προβατα μη εχοντα ποιμενα. Και ειπε Κυριος, Ουτοι δεν εχουσι κυριον? ας επιστρεψωσιν εκαστος εις τον οικον αυτου εν ειρηνη.	17 And he said: “I saw all of Israel scattered among the hills, like sheep that have no shepherd. And the Lord said: ‘These have no master. Let each of them return to his own house in peace.’ ”
18 Και ειπεν ο βασιλευς του Ισραηλ προς τον Ιωσαφατ, Δεν σοι ειπα ετι δεν θελει προφητευσει καλον περι εμου, αλλα κακον;	18 Therefore, the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat: “Did I not tell you that he prophesies nothing good to me, but always evil?”
19 Και ο Μιχαιας ειπεν, Ακουσον λοιπον τον λογον του Κυριου. Ειδον τον Κυριον καθημενον επι του θρονου αυτου, και πασαν την στρατιαν του ουρανου παρισταμενην περι αυτον, εκ δεξιων αυτου και εξ αριστερων αυτου.	19 Yet truly, continuing, he said: “Because of his, listen to the word of the Lord. I saw the Lord sitting upon his throne. And the entire army of heaven was standing beside him, to the right and to the left.
20 Και ειπε Κυριος, Τις θελει απατησει τον Αχααβ, ωστε να αναβη και να πεση εν Ραμωθ-γαλααδ; Και ο μεν ειπεν ουτως, ο δε ειπεν ουτως.	20 And the Lord said, ‘Who will mislead Ahab, the king of Israel, so that he may ascend and fall at Ramoth Gilead?’ And one spoke words in this manner, and another spoke otherwise.
21 Και εξηλθε το πνευμα και εσταθη ενωπιον Κυριου και ειπεν, Εγω θελω απατησει αυτον.	21 But then a spirit went out and stood before the Lord. And he said, ‘I will mislead him.’ And the Lord said to him, ‘By what means?’
22 Και ειπε Κυριος προς αυτο, Τινι τροπω; Και ειπε, Θελω εξελθει και θελω εισθαι πνευμα ψευδους εν τω στοματι παντων των προφητων αυτου. Και ειπε Κυριος, Θελεις απατησει και ετι θελεις κατορθωσει? εξελθε και καμε ουτω.	22 And he said, ‘I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ And the Lord said: ‘You will deceive him, and you will prevail. Go forth, and do so.’
23 Τωρα λοιπον, ιδου, ο Κυριος εβαλε πνευμα ψευδους εν τω στοματι παντων τουτων των προφητων σου, και ο Κυριος ελαλησε κακον επι σε.	23 So now, behold: the Lord has given a lying spirit into the mouth of all your prophets who are here. And the Lord has spoken evil against you.”
24 Τοτε πλησιασας Σεδεκιας ο υιος του Χαναανα, ερραπισε τον Μιχαιαν επι την σιαγονα και ειπε, Δια ποιας οδου επερασε το Πνευμα του Κυριου απ' εμου, δια να λαληση προς σε;	24 Then Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, drew near and struck Micaiah on the jaw, and he said, “So then, has the Spirit of the Lord left me, and spoken to you?”
25 Και ειπεν ο Μιχαιας, Ιδου, θελεις ιδει, καθ' ην ημεραν θελεις εισερχεσθαι απο ταμειου εις ταμειον δια να κρυφθης.	25 And Micaiah said, “You shall see in the day when you will enter into a room within a room, so that you may conceal yourself.”
26 Και ειπεν ο βασιλευς του Ισραηλ, Πιασατε τον Μιχαιαν και επαναφερετε αυτον προς Αμων τον αρχοντα της πολεως και προς Ιωας τον υιον του βασιλεως?	26 And the king of Israel said: “Take Micaiah, and let him dwell with Amon, the ruler of the city, and with Joash, the son of Amalech.
27 και ειπατε, Ουτω λεγει ο βασιλευς? Βαλετε τουτον εις την φυλακην και τρεφετε αυτον με αρτον θλιψεως και με υδωρ θλιψεως, εωσου επιστρεψω εν ειρηνη.	27 And tell them: ‘Thus says the king: Put this man in prison, and sustain him with the bread of affliction, and with the water of distress, until I return in peace.’ ”
28 Και ειπεν ο Μιχαιας, Εαν τωοντι επιστρεψης εν ειρηνη, ο Θεος δεν ελαλησε δι' εμου. Και ειπεν, Ακουσατε σεις, παντες οι λαοι.	28 And Micaiah said, “If you will have returned in peace, the Lord has not spoken through me.” And he said, “May all the people hear it.”
29 Και ανεβη ο βασιλευς του Ισραηλ και Ιωσαφατ ο βασιλευς του Ιουδα εις Ραμωθ-γαλααδ.	29 And so, the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, ascended to Ramoth Gilead.
30 Και ειπεν ο βασιλευς του Ισραηλ προς τον Ιωσαφατ, Εγω θελω μετασχηματισθη και εισελθει εις την μαχην? συ δε ενδυθητι την στολην σου. Και μετεσχηματισθη ο βασιλευς του Ισραηλ και εισηλθεν εις την μαχην.	30 Then the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat: “Take up your armor, and enter the battle. And be clothed in your own garments.” But the king of Israel changed his clothing, and he entered the war.
31 Ο δε βασιλευς της Συριας ειχε προσταξει τους τριακοντα δυο αμαξαρχας αυτου, λεγων, Μη πολεμειτε μητε μικρον μητε μεγαν, αλλα μονον τον βασιλεα του Ισραηλ.	31 Now the king of Syria had instructed the thirty-two commanders of the chariots, saying, “You shall not fight against anyone, small or great, except against the king of Israel alone.”
32 Και ως ειδον οι αμαξαρχαι τον Ιωσαφατ, τοτε αυτοι ειπον, Βεβαιως ουτος ειναι ο βασιλευς του Ισραηλ. Και περιεστραφησαν δια να πολεμησωσιν αυτον? αλλ' ο Ιωσαφατ ανεβοησεν.	32 Therefore, when the commanders of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, they suspected that he was the king of Israel. And making a violent assault, they fought against him. And Jehoshaphat cried out.
33 Ιδοντες δε οι αμαξαρχαι οτι δεν ητο ο βασιλευς του Ισραηλ, επεστρεψαν απο της καταδιωξεως αυτου.	33 And the commanders of the chariots understood that he was not the king of Israel, and so they turned away from him.
34 Ανθρωπος δε τις, τοξευσας ασκοπως, εκτυπησε τον βασιλεα του Ισραηλ μεταξυ των αρθρωσεων του θωρακος? ο δε ειπε προς τον ηνιοχον αυτου, Στρεψον την χειρα σου και εκβαλε με εκ του στρατευματος? διοτι επληγωθην.	34 But a certain man bent his bow, aiming the arrow without certitude, and by chance he struck the king of Israel, between the lungs and the stomach. Then he said to the driver of his chariot, “Turn your hand, and carry me away from the army, for I have been grievously wounded.”
35 Και η μαχη εμεγαλυνθη εν τη ημερα εκεινη? ο δε βασιλευς ιστατο επι της αμαξης αντικρυ των Συριων, και προς το εσπερας απεθανε? και το αιμα ερρεεν εκ της πληγης εις τον κολπον της αμαξης.	35 Then the battle was undertaken throughout that day. And the king of Israel was standing on his chariot opposite the Syrians, and he died in the evening. For the blood was flowing from the wound into the joints of the chariot.
36 Και περι την δυσιν του ηλιου εγεινε διακηρυξις εν τω στρατοπεδω, λεγουσα, Εκαστος εις την πολιν αυτου και εκαστος εις τον τοπον αυτου.	36 And a herald proclaimed throughout the entire army, before the setting of the sun, saying: “Let each one return to his own city, and to his own land.”
37 Και απεθανεν ο βασιλευς και εκομισθη εις Σαμαρειαν? και ενεταφιασαν τον βασιλεα εν Σαμαρεια.	37 Then the king died, and he was carried into Samaria. And they buried the king in Samaria.
38 Και επλυναν την αμαξαν εις το υδροστασιον της Σαμαρειας? επλυναν ετι και τα οπλα αυτου? και εγλειψαν οι κυνες το αιμα αυτου, κατα τον λογον του Κυριου, τον οποιον ελαλησεν.	38 And they washed his chariot in the pool of Samaria. And the dogs licked up his blood. And they washed the reins, in accord with the word of the Lord which he had spoken.
39 Αι δε λοιπαι των πραξεων του Αχααβ και παντα οσα εκαμε, και ο ελεφαντινος οικος τον οποιον ωκοδομησε και πασαι αι πολεις, τας οποιας εκτισε, δεν ειναι γεγραμμενα εν τω βιβλιω των χρονικων των βασιλεων του Ισραηλ;	39 But the rest of the words of Ahab, and all that he did, and the house of ivory that he built, and all the cities that he constructed, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
40 Και εκοιμηθη ο Αχααβ μετα των πατερων αυτου, και εβασιλευσεν αντ' αυτου Οχοζιας ο υιος αυτου.	40 And so, Ahab slept with his fathers. And Ahaziah, his son, reigned in his place.
41 Ο δε Ιωσαφατ ο υιος του Ασα εβασιλευσεν επι τον Ιουδα, το τεταρτον ετος του Αχααβ βασιλεως του Ισραηλ.	41 Yet truly, Jehoshaphat, the son of Asa, had begun to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab, the king of Israel.
42 Ο Ιωσαφατ ητο τριακοντα πεντε ετων ηλικιας οτε εβασιλευσε? και εβασιλευσεν εικοσιπεντε ετη εν Ιερουσαλημ? το δε ονομα της μητρος αυτου ητο Αζουβα, θυγατηρ του Σιλει.	42 He was thirty-five years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for twenty-five years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Azubah, the daughter of Shilhi.
43 Και περιεπατησεν εις πασας τας οδους Ασα του πατρος αυτου? δεν εξεκλινεν απ' αυτων, πραττων το ευθες ενωπιον του Κυριου. Οι υψηλοι ομως τοποι δεν αφηρεθησαν? ο λαος εθυσιαζεν ετι και εθυμιαζεν εν τοις υψηλοις τοποις.	43 And he walked in the entire way of Asa, his father, and he did not decline from it. And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord.
44 Και ειχεν ειρηνην ο Ιωσαφατ μετα του βασιλεως του Ισραηλ.	44 Yet truly, he did not take away the high places. For still the people were sacrificing and burning incense in the high places.
45 Αι δε λοιπαι των πραξεων του Ιωσαφατ, και τα κατορθωματα αυτου οσα εκαμε, και οι πολεμοι αυτου, δεν ειναι γεγραμμενα εν τω βιβλιω των χρονικων των βασιλεων του Ιουδα;	45 And Jehoshaphat had peace with the king of Israel.
46 Και το υπολοιπον των σοδομιτων, το εναπολειφθεν εν ταις ημεραις Ασα του πατρος αυτου, αυτος εξηλειψεν απο της γης.	46 But the rest of the words of Jehoshaphat, and his works that he did, and the battles, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?
47 Τοτε δεν υπηρχε βασιλευς εν Εδωμ? διοικητης ητο βασιλευς.	47 Then, too, the remnant of the effeminate, who had remained in the days of Asa, his father, he took away from the land.
48 Ο Ιωσαφατ εκαμε πλοια εν Θαρσεις, δια να πλευσωσιν εις Οφειρ δια χρυσιον? πλην δεν υπηγον, διοτι τα πλοια συνετριφθησαν εν Εσιων-γαβερ.	48 At that time, there was no king appointed in Idumea.
49 Τοτε ειπεν Οχοζιας ο υιος του Αχααβ προς τον Ιωσαφατ, Ας υπαγωσιν οι δουλοι μου μετα των δουλων σου εις τα πλοια? ο Ιωσαφατ ομως δεν ηθελησε.	49 Yet truly, king Jehoshaphat had made a navy on the sea, which would sail to Ophir for gold. But they were unable to go, because the ships were broken down at Eziongeber.
50 Και εκοιμηθη ο Ιωσαφατ μετα των πατερων αυτου και εταφη μετα των πατερων αυτου εν τη πολει Δαβιδ του πατρος αυτου? εβασιλευσε δε αντ' αυτου Ιωραμ ο υιος αυτου.	50 Then Ahaziah, the son of Ahab, said to Jehoshaphat, “Let my servants go with your servants on the ships.” But Jehoshaphat was not willing.
51 Οχοζιας ο υιος του Αχααβ εβασιλευσεν επι τον Ισραηλ εν Σαμαρεια, το δεκατον εβδομον ετος του Ιωσαφατ βασιλεως του Ιουδα? και εβασιλευσε δυο ετη επι τον Ισραηλ.	51 And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and he was buried with them in the city of David, his father. And Jehoram, his son, reigned in his place.
52 Και επραξε τα πονηρα ενωπιον του Κυριου, και περιεπατησεν εις την οδον του πατρος αυτου και εις την οδον της μητρος αυτου και εις την οδον του Ιεροβοαμ υιου του Ναβατ, οστις εκαμε τον Ισραηλ να αμαρτηση?	52 Then Ahaziah, the son of Ahab, began to reign over Israel, in Samaria, in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah. And he reigned over Israel for two years.
53 διοτι ελατρευσε τον Βααλ και προσεκυνησεν αυτον, και παρωργισε Κυριον τον Θεον του Ισραηλ, κατα παντα οσα επραξεν ο πατηρ αυτου.	53 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord. And he walked in the way of his father and his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin.
	54 Also, he served Baal, and he adored him, and he provoked the Lord, the God of Israel, in accord with all that his father had done.
