ΠΑΡΑΛΕΙΠΟΜΕΝΩΝ Β´ - 2 Cronache - Chronicles II 28

GREEK BIBLE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Εικοσι ετων ηλικιας ητο ο Αχαζ οτε εβασιλευσε, και εβασιλευσε δεκαεξ ετη εν Ιερουσαλημ? δεν επραξεν ομως το ευθες ενωπιον Κυριου, ως ο Δαβιδ ο πατηρ αυτου?	1 Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. He did not please the LORD as his forefather David had done,
2 αλλα περιεπατησεν εν ταις οδοις των βασιλεων του Ισραηλ και εκαμεν ετι ειδωλα χωνευτα εις τους Βααλειμ.	2 but conducted himself like the kings of Israel and even made molten idols of the Baals.
3 Και αυτος εθυμιασεν εν τη κοιλαδι του υιου Εννομ και διεβιβασε τα τεκνα αυτου δια του πυρος, κατα τα βδελυγματα των εθνων τα οποια εξεδιωξεν ο Κυριος απ' εμπροσθεν των υιων Ισραηλ.	3 Moreover, he offered sacrifice in the Valley of Ben-hinnom, and immolated his sons by fire according to the abominable practice of the nations which the LORD had cleared out before the Israelites.
4 Και εθυσιαζε και εθυμιαζεν επι τους υψηλους τοπους και επι τους λοφους και υποκατω παντος δενδρου πρασινου.	4 He offered sacrifice and incense on the high places, on hills, and under every leafy tree.
5 Δια τουτο παρεδωκεν αυτον Κυριος ο Θεος αυτου εις την χειρα του βασιλεως της Συριας? και επαταξαν αυτον, και ελαβον αιχμαλωτους μεγα πληθος εξ αυτων και εφεραν αυτους εις Δαμασκον. Και παρεδοθη ετι εις την χειρα του βασιλεως του Ισραηλ, οστις επαταξεν αυτον εν σφαγη μεγαλη.	5 Therefore the LORD, his God, delivered him into the power of the king of Aram. The Arameans defeated him and carried away captive a large number of his people, whom they brought to Damascus. He was also delivered into the power of the king of Israel, who defeated him with great slaughter.
6 Διοτι Φεκα ο υιος του Ρεμαλια εθανατωσεν εκ του Ιουδα εκατον εικοσι χιλιαδας εν μια ημερα, παντας δυνατους εν ισχυι, επειδη εγκατελιπον Κυριον τον Θεον των πατερων αυτων.	6 For Pekah, son of Remaliah, slew one hundred and twenty thousand of Judah in a single day, all of them valiant men, because they had abandoned the LORD, the God of their fathers.
7 Και Ζιχρι, ανηρ δυνατος εκ του Εφραιμ, εθανατωσε Μαασιαν τον υιον του βασιλεως και Αζρικαμ τον επιστατην του παλατιου και Ελκανα τον δευτερον μετα τον βασιλεα.	7 Zichri, an Ephraimite warrior, killed Maaseiah, the king's son, and Azrikam, the master of the palace, and also Elkanah, who was second to the king.
8 Και ηχμαλωτισαν οι υιοι Ισραηλ εκ των αδελφων αυτων διακοσιας χιλιαδας, γυναικας, υιους και θυγατερας, και ελαβον ετι λαφυρα πολλα εξ αυτων και εφεραν τα λαφυρα εις Σαμαρειαν.	8 The Israelites took away as captives two hundred thousand of their brethren's wives, sons and daughters; they also took from them much plunder, which they brought to Samaria.
9 Ητο δε εκει προφητης του Κυριου, ονομαζομενος Ωδηδ? και εξηλθεν εις απαντησιν του στρατευματος του ερχομενου εις Σαμαρειαν και ειπε προς αυτους, Ιδου, επειδη Κυριος ο Θεος των πατερων σας εθυμωθη κατα του Ιουδα, παρεδωκεν αυτους εις την χειρα σας? και σεις εθανατωσατε αυτους εν μανια, ητις εφθασεν εως του ουρανου?	9 In Samaria there was a prophet of the LORD by the name of Oded. He went out to meet the army returning to Samaria and said to them: "It was because the LORD, the God of your fathers, was angry with Judah that he delivered them into your hands. You, however, have slaughtered them with a fury that has reached up to heaven.
10 και τωρα λεγετε να υποταξητε εις εαυτους τους υιους Ιουδα και της Ιερουσαλημ δια δουλους και δουλας? δεν ειναι με σας, με σας μαλιστα, αμαρτιαι εναντιον Κυριου του Θεου σας;	10 And now you are planning to make the children of Judah and Jerusalem your slaves and bondwomen. Are not you yourselves, therefore, guilty of a crime against the LORD, your God?
11 τωρα λοιπον ακουσατε μου και επιστρεψατε τους αιχμαλωτους, τους οποιους ηχμαλωτισατε εκ των αδελφων σας? διοτι οργη θυμου Κυριου επικειται εις εσας.	11 Now listen to me: send back the captives you have carried off from among your brethren, for the burning anger of the LORD is upon you."
12 Και εσηκωθησαν τινες εκ των αρχοντων των υιων Εφραιμ, Αζαριας ο υιος του Ιωαναν, Βαραχιας ο υιος του Μεσιλλεμωθ και Εζεκιας ο υιος του Σαλλουμ και Αμασα ο υιος του Αδλαι εναντιον των ερχομενων απο του πολεμου,	12 At this, some of the Ephraimite leaders, Azariah, son of Johanan, Berechiah, son of Meshillemoth, Jehizkiah, son of Shallum, and Amasa, son of Hadlai, themselves stood up in opposition to those who had returned from the war.
13 και ειπον προς αυτους, Δεν θελετε εισαξει εδω τους αιχμαλωτους? διοτι ενω ηνομησαμεν εις Κυριον, θελετε να προσθεσητε εις τας αμαρτιας ημων και εις τας ανομιας ημων? διοτι μεγαλη ειναι ανομια ημων, και οργη θυμου επικειται επι τον Ισραηλ.	13 They said to them: "Do not bring the captives here, for what you propose will make us guilty before the LORD and increase our sins and our guilt. Our guilt is already great, and there is a burning anger upon Israel."
14 Και αφηκαν οι πολεμισται τους αιχμαλωτους και τα λαφυρα ενωπιον των αρχοντων και πασης της συναξεως.	14 Therefore the soldiers left their captives and the plunder before the princes and the whole assembly.
15 Και σηκωθεντες οι ανδρες, οι ονομασθεντες κατ' ονομα, ελαβον τους αιχμαλωτους και παντας τους γυμνους αυτων ενεδυσαν εκ των λαφυρων? και αφου ενεδυσαν αυτους και υπεδηματωσαν αυτους και εδωκαν εις αυτους να φαγωσι και να πιωσι και ηλειψαν αυτους, και παντας τους αδυνατους εξ αυτων μετεκομισαν επι ονους και εφεραν αυτους εις Ιεριχω, την πολιν των φοινικων, προς τους αδελφους αυτων? και επεστρεψαν εις Σαμαρειαν.	15 Then the men just named proceeded to help the captives. All of them who were naked they clothed from the booty; they clothed them, put sandals on their feet, gave them food and drink, anointed them, and all who were weak they set on asses. They brought them to Jericho, the city of palms, to their brethren. Then they returned to Samaria.
16 Κατα τον καιρον εκεινον ο βασιλευς Αχαζ απεστειλε προς τους βασιλεις της Ασσυριας, δια να βοηθησωσιν αυτον.	16 At that time King Ahaz sent an appeal for help to the kings of Assyria.
17 Διοτι ελθοντες παλιν οι Ιδουμαιοι επαταξαν τον Ιουδαν και ελαβον αιχμαλωτους.	17 The Edomites had returned, attacked Judah, and carried off captives.
18 Και εφορμησαντες οι Φιλισταιοι εις τας πολεις της πεδινης και της μεσημβρινης του Ιουδα? εκυριευσαν την Βαιθ-σεμες και την Αιαλων και την Γεδηρωθ, και την Σοκχω και τας κωμας αυτης, και την Θαμνα και τας κωμας αυτης, και την Γιμζω και ταις κωμας αυτης? και κατωκησαν εκει.	18 The Philistines too had raided the cities of the foothills and the Negeb of Judah; they captured Beth-shemesh, Aijalon, Gederoth, Soco and its dependencies, Timnah and its dependencies, and Gimzo and its dependencies, and occupied them.
19 Διοτι ο Κυριος εταπεινωσε τον Ιουδαν δια τον Αχαζ βασιλεα του Ισραηλ? επειδη διεφθειρε τον Ιουδαν και ησεβησε σφοδρα εις τον Κυριον.	19 For the LORD had brought Judah low because of Ahaz, king of Israel, who let Judah go its own way and proved utterly faithless to the LORD.
20 Και ηλθε προς αυτον ο Θελγαθ-φελνασαρ, βασιλευς της Ασσυριας, και κατεθλιψεν αυτον αντι να ενδυναμωση αυτον.	20 Tilgath-pilneser, king of Assyria, did indeed come to him, but to oppress him rather than to help him.
21 Διοτι ο Αχαζ, λαβων τους θησαυρους του οικου του Κυριου και του οικου του βασιλεως και των αρχοντων, εδωκεν εις τον βασιλεα της Ασσυριας? πλην ουχι εις βοηθειαν αυτου.	21 Though Ahaz plundered the LORD'S house and the houses of the king and the princes to make payment to the king of Assyria, it availed him nothing.
22 Και εν τω καιρω της στενοχωριας αυτου ετι μαλλον παρηνομησεν εις τον Κυριον αυτος ο βασιλευς Αχαζ.	22 While he was already in distress, the same King Ahaz became even more unfaithful to the LORD.
23 Και εθυσιαζεν εις τους θεους της Δαμασκου, τους παταξαντας αυτον? και ελεγεν, Επειδη οι θεοι του βασιλεως της Συριας βοηθουσιν αυτους, εις τουτους θελω θυσιασει, δια να βοηθησωσι και εμε. Εκεινοι ομως εσταθησαν η φθορα αυτου και παντος του Ισραηλ.	23 He sacrificed to the gods of Damascus who had defeated him, saying, "Since it was the gods of the kings of Aram who helped them, I will sacrifice to them that they may help me also." However, they only caused further disaster to him and to all Israel.
24 Και συνηθροισεν ο Αχαζ τα σκευη του οικου του Θεου, και κατεκοψε τα σκευη του οικου του Θεου και εκλεισε τας θυρας του οικου του Κυριου, και εκαμεν εις εαυτον θυσιαστηρια εν παση γωνια εν Ιερουσαλημ.	24 Ahaz gathered up the utensils of God's house and broke them in pieces. He closed the doors of the LORD'S house and had altars made for himself in every corner of Jerusalem.
25 Και εν παση πολει του Ιουδα εκαμεν υψηλους τοπους, δια να θυμιαζη εις αλλους θεους, και παρωργισε Κυριον τον Θεον των πατερων αυτου.	25 In every city throughout Judah he set up high places to offer sacrifice to other gods. Thus he angered the LORD, the God of his fathers.
26 Αι δε λοιπαι πραξεις αυτου και πασαι αι οδοι αυτου, αι πρωται και αι εσχαται, ιδου, ειναι γεγραμμεναι εν τω βιβλιω των βασιλεων του Ιουδα και Ισραηλ.	26 The rest of his deeds and his activities, first and last, can be found written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
27 Και εκοιμηθη ο Αχαζ μετα των πατερων αυτου, και εθαψαν αυτον εν τη πολει, εν Ιερουσαλημ? δεν εφεραν ομως αυτον εις τους ταφους των βασιλεων του Ισραηλ? εβασιλευσε δε αντ' αυτου Εζεκιας ο υιος αυτου.	27 Ahaz rested with his ancestors and was buried in Jerusalem--in the city, for they did not bring him to the tombs of the kings of Israel. His son Hezekiah succeeded him as king.
