LXX	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 και ιωραμ υιος αχααβ εβασιλευσεν εν ισραηλ εν ετει οκτωκαιδεκατω ιωσαφατ βασιλει ιουδα και εβασιλευσεν δωδεκα ετη	1 And Joram the son of Achab reigned over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of m Josaphat king of Juda. And he reigned twelve years.
2 και εποιησεν το πονηρον εν οφθαλμοις κυριου πλην ουχ ως ο πατηρ αυτου και ουχ ως η μητηρ αυτου και μετεστησεν τας στηλας του βααλ ας εποιησεν ο πατηρ αυτου	2 And he did evil before the Lord, but not like his father and his mother: for he took away the statues of Baal, which his father had made.
3 πλην εν τη αμαρτια ιεροβοαμ υιου ναβατ ος εξημαρτεν τον ισραηλ εκολληθη ουκ απεστη απ' αυτης	3 Nevertheless he stuck to the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin, nor did he depart from them.
4 και μωσα βασιλευς μωαβ ην νωκηδ και επεστρεφεν τω βασιλει ισραηλ εν τη επαναστασει εκατον χιλιαδας αρνων και εκατον χιλιαδας κριων επι ποκων	4 Now Mesa, king of Moab, nourished many sheep, and he paid to the king of Israel a hundred thousand lambs, and a hundred thousand rams with their fleeces.
5 και εγενετο μετα το αποθανειν αχααβ και ηθετησεν βασιλευς μωαβ εν βασιλει ισραηλ	5 And when Achab was dead, he broke the league which he had made with the king of Israel.
6 και εξηλθεν ο βασιλευς ιωραμ εν τη ημερα εκεινη εκ σαμαρειας και επεσκεψατο τον ισραηλ	6 And king Joram went out that day from Samaria, and mustered all Israel.
7 και επορευθη και εξαπεστειλεν προς ιωσαφατ βασιλεα ιουδα λεγων βασιλευς μωαβ ηθετησεν εν εμοι ει πορευση μετ' εμου εις μωαβ εις πολεμον και ειπεν αναβησομαι ομοιος μοι ομοιος σοι ως ο λαος μου ο λαος σου ως οι ιπποι μου οι ιπποι σου	7 And he sent to Josaphat king of Juda, saying: The king of Moab is revolted from me, come with me against him to battle. And he answered: I will come up: he that is mine, is thine: my people, thy people: and my horses, thy horses.
8 και ειπεν ποια οδω αναβω και ειπεν οδον ερημον εδωμ	8 And he said: Which way shall we go up? But he answered: By the desert of Edom.
9 και επορευθη ο βασιλευς ισραηλ και ο βασιλευς ιουδα και ο βασιλευς εδωμ και εκυκλωσαν οδον επτα ημερων και ουκ ην υδωρ τη παρεμβολη και τοις κτηνεσιν τοις εν τοις ποσιν αυτων	9 So the king of Israel, and the king of Juda, and the king of Edom went, and they fetched a compass of seven days' journey, and there was no water for the army, and for the beasts, that followed them.
10 και ειπεν ο βασιλευς ισραηλ ω οτι κεκληκεν κυριος τους τρεις βασιλεις παρερχομενους δουναι αυτους εν χειρι μωαβ	10 And the king of Israel said: Alas, alas, alas, the Lord hath gathered us three kings together, to deliver us into the hands of Moab!
11 και ειπεν ιωσαφατ ουκ εστιν ωδε προφητης του κυριου και επιζητησωμεν τον κυριον παρ' αυτου και απεκριθη εις των παιδων βασιλεως ισραηλ και ειπεν ωδε ελισαιε υιος σαφατ ος επεχεεν υδωρ επι χειρας ηλιου	11 And Josaphat said: Is there not here a prophet of the Lord, that we may beseech the Lord by him? And one of the servants of the king of Israel answered: Here is Eliseus the son of Saphat, who poured water on the hands of Elias.
12 και ειπεν ιωσαφατ εστιν αυτω ρημα κυριου και κατεβη προς αυτον βασιλευς ισραηλ και ιωσαφατ βασιλευς ιουδα και βασιλευς εδωμ	12 And Josaphat said: The word of the Lord is with him. And the king of Israel, and Josaphat king of Juda, and the king of Edom went down to him.
13 και ειπεν ελισαιε προς βασιλεα ισραηλ τι εμοι και σοι δευρο προς τους προφητας του πατρος σου και ειπεν αυτω ο βασιλευς ισραηλ μη οτι κεκληκεν κυριος τους τρεις βασιλεις του παραδουναι αυτους εις χειρας μωαβ	13 And Eliseus said to the king of Israel: What have I to do with thee? go to the prophets of thy father, and thy mother. And the king of Israel said to him: Why hath the Lord gathered together these three kings, to deliver them into the hands of Moab?
14 και ειπεν ελισαιε ζη κυριος των δυναμεων ω παρεστην ενωπιον αυτου οτι ει μη προσωπον ιωσαφατ βασιλεως ιουδα εγω λαμβανω ει επεβλεψα προς σε και ειδον σε	14 And Eliseus said to him: As the Lord of hosts liveth, in whose sight I stand, if I did not reverence the face of Josaphat king of Juda, I would not have hearkened to thee, nor looked on thee.
15 και νυνι δε λαβε μοι ψαλλοντα και εγενετο ως εψαλλεν ο ψαλλων και εγενετο επ' αυτον χειρ κυριου	15 But now bring me hither a minstrel. And when the minstrel played, the hand of the Lord came upon him, and he said:
16 και ειπεν ταδε λεγει κυριος ποιησατε τον χειμαρρουν τουτον βοθυνους βοθυνους	16 Thus saith the Lord: Make the channel of this torrent full of ditches.
17 οτι ταδε λεγει κυριος ουκ οψεσθε πνευμα και ουκ οψεσθε υετον και ο χειμαρρους ουτος πλησθησεται υδατος και πιεσθε υμεις και αι κτησεις υμων και τα κτηνη υμων	17 For thus saith the Lord: You shall not see wind, nor rain: and yet this channel shall be filled with waters, and you shall drink, you and your families, and your beasts.
18 και κουφη αυτη εν οφθαλμοις κυριου και παραδωσω την μωαβ εν χειρι υμων	18 And this is a small thing in the sight of the Lord: moreover he will deliver also Moab into your hands.
19 και παταξετε πασαν πολιν οχυραν και παν ξυλον αγαθον καταβαλειτε και πασας πηγας υδατος εμφραξετε και πασαν μεριδα αγαθην αχρειωσετε εν λιθοις	19 And you shall destroy every fenced city, and every choice city, and shall cut down every fruitful tree, and shall stop up all the springs of waters, and every goodly field you shall cover with stones.
20 και εγενετο το πρωι αναβαινουσης της θυσιας και ιδου υδατα ηρχοντο εξ οδου εδωμ και επλησθη η γη υδατος	20 And it came to pass in the morning, when the sacrifices used to be offered, that behold, water came by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.
21 και πασα μωαβ ηκουσαν οτι ανεβησαν οι βασιλεις πολεμειν αυτους και ανεβοησαν εκ παντος περιεζωσμενου ζωνην και επανω και εστησαν επι του οριου	21 And all the Moabites hearing that the kings were come up to fight against them, gathered together all that were girded with a belt upon them, and stood in the borders.
22 και ωρθρισαν το πρωι και ο ηλιος ανετειλεν επι τα υδατα και ειδεν μωαβ εξ εναντιας τα υδατα πυρρα ωσει αιμα	22 And they rose early in the morning, and the sun being now up, and shining upon the waters, the Moabites saw the waters over against them red, like blood,
23 και ειπαν αιμα τουτο της ρομφαιας εμαχεσαντο οι βασιλεις και επαταξαν ανηρ τον πλησιον αυτου και νυν επι τα σκυλα μωαβ	23 And they said: It is the blood of the sword: the kings have fought among themselves, and they have killed one another: go now, Moab, to the spoils.
24 και εισηλθον εις την παρεμβολην ισραηλ και ισραηλ ανεστησαν και επαταξαν την μωαβ και εφυγον απο προσωπου αυτων και εισηλθον εισπορευομενοι και τυπτοντες την μωαβ	24 And they went into the camp of Israel: but Israel rising up defeated Moab, who fled before them. And they being conquerors, went and smote Moab.
25 και τας πολεις καθειλον και πασαν μεριδα αγαθην ερριψαν ανηρ τον λιθον και ενεπλησαν αυτην και πασαν πηγην υδατος ενεφραξαν και παν ξυλον αγαθον κατεβαλον εως του καταλιπειν τους λιθους του τοιχου καθηρημενους και εκυκλευσαν οι σφενδονηται και επαταξαν αυτην	25 And they destroyed the cities: and they filled every goodly field, every man casting his stone: and they stopt up all the springs of waters: and cut down all the trees that bore fruit, so that brick walls only remained: and the city was beset by the slingers, and a great part thereof destroyed.
26 και ειδεν ο βασιλευς μωαβ οτι εκραταιωσεν υπερ αυτον ο πολεμος και ελαβεν μεθ' εαυτου επτακοσιους ανδρας εσπασμενους ρομφαιαν διακοψαι προς βασιλεα εδωμ και ουκ ηδυνηθησαν	26 And when the king of Moab saw this, to wit, that the enemies had prevailed, he took with him seven hundred men that drew the sword, to break in upon the king of Edom: but they could not.
27 και ελαβεν τον υιον αυτου τον πρωτοτοκον ος εβασιλευσεν αντ' αυτου και ανηνεγκεν αυτον ολοκαυτωμα επι του τειχους και εγενετο μεταμελος μεγας επι ισραηλ και απηραν απ' αυτου και επεστρεψαν εις την γην	27 Then he took his eldest son that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt offering upon the wall: and there was great indignation in Israel, and presently they departed from him, and returned into their own country.
