LXX	NEW JERUSALEM
1 και ιδου ανθρωπος του θεου εξ ιουδα παρεγενετο εν λογω κυριου εις βαιθηλ και ιεροβοαμ ειστηκει επι το θυσιαστηριον του επιθυσαι	1 There came to Bethel at Yahweh's command a man of God from Judah, just as Jeroboam wasstanding by the altar to offer the sacrifice,
2 και επεκαλεσεν προς το θυσιαστηριον εν λογω κυριου και ειπεν θυσιαστηριον θυσιαστηριον ταδε λεγει κυριος ιδου υιος τικτεται τω οικω δαυιδ ιωσιας ονομα αυτω και θυσει επι σε τους ιερεις των υψηλων τους επιθυοντας επι σε και οστα ανθρωπων καυσει επι σε	2 and at Yahweh's command this man denounced the altar. 'Altar, altar,' he said, 'Yahweh says this, "Ason is to be born to the House of David, Josiah by name, and on you he wil slaughter the priests of the highplaces who have offered sacrifice on you, and on you he will burn human bones." '
3 και εδωκεν εν τη ημερα εκεινη τερας λεγων τουτο το ρημα ο ελαλησεν κυριος λεγων ιδου το θυσιαστηριον ρηγνυται και εκχυθησεται η πιοτης η επ' αυτω	3 At the same time he gave a sign. 'This is the sign', he said, 'that Yahweh has spoken, "This altar willburst apart and the ashes which are on it will be spilt." '
4 και εγενετο ως ηκουσεν ο βασιλευς ιεροβοαμ των λογων του ανθρωπου του θεου του επικαλεσαμενου επι το θυσιαστηριον το εν βαιθηλ και εξετεινεν ο βασιλευς την χειρα αυτου απο του θυσιαστηριου λεγων συλλαβετε αυτον και ιδου εξηρανθη η χειρ αυτου ην εξετεινεν επ' αυτον και ουκ ηδυνηθη επιστρεψαι αυτην προς εαυτον	4 When the king heard how the man of God denounced the altar of Bethel, he stretched out his handfrom the altar, saying, 'Seize him!' But the hand he stretched out against the man withered, and he could notdraw it back,
5 και το θυσιαστηριον ερραγη και εξεχυθη η πιοτης απο του θυσιαστηριου κατα το τερας ο εδωκεν ο ανθρωπος του θεου εν λογω κυριου	5 and the altar burst apart and the ashes from the altar were spilt, in accordance with the sign given bythe man of God at Yahweh's command.
6 και ειπεν ο βασιλευς ιεροβοαμ τω ανθρωπω του θεου δεηθητι του προσωπου κυριου του θεου σου και επιστρεψατω η χειρ μου προς με και εδεηθη ο ανθρωπος του θεου του προσωπου κυριου και επεστρεψεν την χειρα του βασιλεως προς αυτον και εγενετο καθως το προτερον	6 The king said to the man of God, 'I beg you to placate Yahweh your God, and so restore me the use ofmy hand.' The man of God placated Yahweh; the king's hand was restored as it had been before.
7 και ελαλησεν ο βασιλευς προς τον ανθρωπον του θεου εισελθε μετ' εμου εις οικον και αριστησον και δωσω σοι δομα	7 The king then said to the man of God, 'Come home with me and refresh yourself, and I shall give you apresent,'
8 και ειπεν ο ανθρωπος του θεου προς τον βασιλεα εαν μοι δως το ημισυ του οικου σου ουκ εισελευσομαι μετα σου ουδε μη φαγω αρτον ουδε μη πιω υδωρ εν τω τοπω τουτω	8 but the man of God replied to the king, 'Were you to give me half your palace, I would not go with you. Iwil eat and drink nothing here,
9 οτι ουτως ενετειλατο μοι εν λογω κυριος λεγων μη φαγης αρτον και μη πιης υδωρ και μη επιστρεψης εν τη οδω η επορευθης εν αυτη	9 for I have had Yahweh's order, "You are to eat or drink nothing, nor to return by the way you came." '
10 και απηλθεν εν οδω αλλη και ουκ ανεστρεψεν εν τη οδω η ηλθεν εν αυτη εις βαιθηλ	10 And he left by another road and did not return by the way he had come to Bethel.
11 και προφητης εις πρεσβυτης κατωκει εν βαιθηλ και ερχονται οι υιοι αυτου και διηγησαντο αυτω απαντα τα εργα α εποιησεν ο ανθρωπος του θεου εν τη ημερα εκεινη εν βαιθηλ και τους λογους ους ελαλησεν τω βασιλει και επεστρεψαν το προσωπον του πατρος αυτων	11 Now there was an old prophet living in Bethel, and his sons came to tel him al that the man of Godhad done in Bethel that day; and the words which he had said to the king, they told these to their father too.
12 και ελαλησεν προς αυτους ο πατηρ αυτων λεγων ποια οδω πεπορευται και δεικνυουσιν αυτω οι υιοι αυτου την οδον εν η ανηλθεν ο ανθρωπος του θεου ο ελθων εξ ιουδα	12 'Which road did he take?' their father asked. His sons showed him the road which the man of Godwho came from Judah had taken.
13 και ειπεν τοις υιοις αυτου επισαξατε μοι τον ονον και επεσαξαν αυτω τον ονον και επεβη επ' αυτον	13 'Saddle the donkey for me,' he said to his sons; they saddled the donkey for him and he mounted.
14 και επορευθη κατοπισθεν του ανθρωπου του θεου και ευρεν αυτον καθημενον υπο δρυν και ειπεν αυτω ει συ ει ο ανθρωπος του θεου ο εληλυθως εξ ιουδα και ειπεν αυτω εγω	14 He fol owed the man of God and found him sitting under a terebinth. 'Are you the man of God', hesaid, 'who came from Judah?' 'I am,' he replied.
15 και ειπεν αυτω δευρο μετ' εμου και φαγε αρτον	15 'Come home with me,' he said, 'and take some food.'
16 και ειπεν ου μη δυνωμαι του επιστρεψαι μετα σου ουδε μη φαγομαι αρτον ουδε πιομαι υδωρ εν τω τοπω τουτω	16 'I cannot go back with you,' he answered, 'or eat or drink anything here,
17 οτι ουτως εντεταλται μοι εν λογω κυριος λεγων μη φαγης αρτον εκει και μη πιης υδωρ εκει και μη επιστρεψης εν τη οδω η επορευθης εν αυτη	17 for I have received Yahweh's order, "You are to eat or drink nothing there, nor to return by the wayyou came." '
18 και ειπεν προς αυτον καγω προφητης ειμι καθως συ και αγγελος λελαληκεν προς με εν ρηματι κυριου λεγων επιστρεψον αυτον προς σεαυτον εις τον οικον σου και φαγετω αρτον και πιετω υδωρ και εψευσατο αυτω	18 'I too am a prophet like you,' the other replied, 'and an angel told me this by Yahweh's command,"Bring him back with you to your house to eat and drink." ' He was lying to him.
19 και επεστρεψεν αυτον και εφαγεν αρτον και επιεν υδωρ εν τω οικω αυτου	19 The man of God went back with him; he ate and drank at his house.
20 και εγενετο αυτων καθημενων επι της τραπεζης και εγενετο λογος κυριου προς τον προφητην τον επιστρεψαντα αυτον	20 As they were sitting at table a word of Yahweh came to the prophet who had brought him back,
21 και ειπεν προς τον ανθρωπον του θεου τον ηκοντα εξ ιουδα λεγων ταδε λεγει κυριος ανθ' ων παρεπικρανας το ρημα κυριου και ουκ εφυλαξας την εντολην ην ενετειλατο σοι κυριος ο θεος σου	21 and he addressed the man of God who came from Judah. 'Yahweh says this,' he said. ' "Since you have defied Yahweh's command and not obeyed the orders which Yahweh your God gave you,
22 και επεστρεψας και εφαγες αρτον και επιες υδωρ εν τω τοπω τουτω ω ελαλησεν προς σε λεγων μη φαγης αρτον και μη πιης υδωρ ου μη εισελθη το σωμα σου εις τον ταφον των πατερων σου	22 but have come back and eaten and drunk where he forbade you to eat and drink, your corpse wilnever reach the tomb of your ancestors." '
23 και εγενετο μετα το φαγειν αρτον και πιειν υδωρ και επεσαξεν αυτω τον ονον και επεστρεψεν	23 After he had eaten and drunk, the prophet saddled the donkey for him, and he turned about and wentaway.
24 και απηλθεν και ευρεν αυτον λεων εν τη οδω και εθανατωσεν αυτον και ην το σωμα αυτου ερριμμενον εν τη οδω και ο ονος ειστηκει παρ' αυτο και ο λεων ειστηκει παρα το σωμα	24 A lion met him on the road and killed him; his corpse lay stretched out on the road; the donkey stoodthere beside it; the lion stood by the corpse too.
25 και ιδου ανδρες παραπορευομενοι και ειδον το θνησιμαιον ερριμμενον εν τη οδω και ο λεων ειστηκει εχομενα του θνησιμαιου και εισηλθον και ελαλησαν εν τη πολει ου ο προφητης ο πρεσβυτης κατωκει εν αυτη	25 People going by saw the corpse lying on the road and the lion standing by the corpse, and went andspoke about it in the town where the old prophet lived.
26 και ηκουσεν ο επιστρεψας αυτον εκ της οδου και ειπεν ο ανθρωπος του θεου ουτος εστιν ος παρεπικρανε το ρημα κυριου	26 When the prophet who had made the man turn back heard about it, he said, 'That is the man of Godwho defied Yahweh's command! Yahweh has handed him over to the lion, which has mauled and kil ed him, justas Yahweh had foretold it would.'
27 -	27 He said to his sons, 'Saddle the donkey for me,' and they saddled it.
28 και επορευθη και ευρεν το σωμα αυτου ερριμμενον εν τη οδω και ο ονος και ο λεων ειστηκεισαν παρα το σωμα και ουκ εφαγεν ο λεων το σωμα του ανθρωπου του θεου και ου συνετριψεν τον ονον	28 He set off and found the man's corpse lying on the road with the donkey and the lion standing besidethe corpse; the lion had neither eaten the corpse nor mauled the donkey.
29 και ηρεν ο προφητης το σωμα του ανθρωπου του θεου και επεθηκεν αυτο επι τον ονον και επεστρεψεν αυτον εις την πολιν ο προφητης του θαψαι αυτον	29 The prophet lifted the corpse of the man of God and put it on the donkey and brought it back to thetown where he lived to hold mourning for him and bury him.
30 εν τω ταφω εαυτου και εκοψαντο αυτον ουαι αδελφε	30 He laid the corpse in his own tomb, and they raised the mourning cry for him, 'Alas, my brother!'
31 και εγενετο μετα το κοψασθαι αυτον και ειπεν τοις υιοις αυτου λεγων εαν αποθανω θαψατε με εν τω ταφω τουτω ου ο ανθρωπος του θεου τεθαπται εν αυτω παρα τα οστα αυτου θετε με ινα σωθωσι τα οστα μου μετα των οστων αυτου	31 After burying him, the prophet said to his sons, 'When I die, bury me in the same tomb as the man ofGod, lay my bones beside his.
32 οτι γινομενον εσται το ρημα ο ελαλησεν εν λογω κυριου επι του θυσιαστηριου του εν βαιθηλ και επι τους οικους τους υψηλους τους εν σαμαρεια	32 For the word he uttered at Yahweh's command against the altar of Bethel and against al the shrinesof the high places in the towns of Samaria will certainly come true.'
33 και μετα το ρημα τουτο ουκ επεστρεψεν ιεροβοαμ απο της κακιας αυτου και επεστρεψεν και εποιησεν εκ μερους του λαου ιερεις υψηλων ο βουλομενος επληρου την χειρα αυτου και εγινετο ιερευς εις τα υψηλα	33 Jeroboam did not give up his wicked ways after this incident, but went on appointing priests for thehigh places from the common people. He consecrated as priests of the high places any who wished to be.
34 και εγενετο το ρημα τουτο εις αμαρτιαν τω οικω ιεροβοαμ και εις ολεθρον και εις αφανισμον απο προσωπου της γης	34 Such conduct made the House of Jeroboam a sinful House, and caused its ruin and extinction fromthe face of the earth.
