2 Kings 9

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 Now the prophet Elisha called one of the sons of the prophets, and he said to him: “Gird your waist, and take this little bottle of oil in your hand, and go to Ramoth Gilead.	1 Ελισσαιε δε ο προφητης εκαλεσεν ενα εκ των υιων των προφητων και ειπε προς αυτον, Περιζωσον την οσφυν σου και λαβε εις την χειρα σου την φιαλην ταυτην του ελαιου και υπαγε εις Ραμωθ-γαλααδ?
2 And when you arrive in that place, you will see Jehu, the son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi. And upon entering, you shall raise him up from the midst of his brothers, and you shall lead him into an inner room.	2 και οταν εισελθης εκει, θελεις ιδει εκει τον Ιηου, υιον του Ιωσαφατ, υιου του Νιμσι? και θελεις εισελθει και σηκωσει αυτον εκ μεσου των αδελφων αυτου και θελεις εισαγαγει αυτον εις το ενδοτερον δωματιον?
3 And taking the little bottle of oil, you shall pour it upon his head, and you shall say: ‘Thus says the Lord: I have anointed you as king over Israel.’ And you shall open the door and flee. And you shall not remain in that place.”	3 και λαβων την φιαλην του ελαιου, θελεις επιχεει επι την κεφαλην αυτου και ειπει, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος? Σε εχρισα βασιλεα επι τον Ισραηλ? τοτε ανοιξας την θυραν, φυγε και μη μεινης.
4 Therefore, the young man, a servant of the prophet, went away to Ramoth Gilead.	4 Και υπηγεν ο νεος, ο νεος ο προφητης, εις Ραμωθ-γαλααδ.
5 And he entered that place, and behold, the leaders of the army were sitting there, and he said, “I have a word for you, O prince.” And Jehu said, “For which one among us all?” And he said, “For you, O prince.”	5 Και οτε ηλθεν, ιδου, οι αρχοντες του στρατευματος εκαθηντο? και ειπεν, Εχω λογον προς σε, ω αρχων. Και ο Ιηου ειπε, προς τινα εκ παντων ημων; Ο δε ειπε, προς σε, ω αρχων.
6 And he rose up and entered into the room. And he poured the oil on his head, and he said: “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: ‘I have anointed you as king over Israel, the people of the Lord.	6 Και σηκωθεις εισηλθεν εις τον οικον? και επεχεε το ελαιον επι την κεφαλην αυτου και ειπε προς αυτον, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος του Ισραηλ? Σε εχρισα βασιλεα επι τον λαον του Κυριου, επι τον Ισραηλ?
7 And you will shall strike down the house of Ahab, your lord. And I will avenge the blood of my servants, the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the Lord, from the hand of Jezebel.	7 και θελεις παταξει τον οικον του Αχααβ του κυριου σου, δια να εκδικησω τα αιματα των δουλων μου των προφητων και τα αιματα παντων των δουλων του Κυριου, εκ χειρος της Ιεζαβελ?
8 And I will destroy the entire house of Ahab. And I will cause to pass away from Ahab, whatever urinates against a wall, and whatever is lame, and whatever is least in Israel.	8 διοτι πας ο οικος του Αχααβ θελει εξολοθρευθη? και θελω αφανισει εκ του Αχααβ τον ουρουντα εις τον τοιχον και τον κεκλεισμενον και τον αφειμενον εν τω Ισραηλ?
9 And I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha, the son of Ahijah.	9 και θελω καταστησει τον οικον του Αχααβ ως τον οικον του Ιεροβοαμ, υιου του Ναβατ, και ως τον οικον του Βαασα, υιου του Αχια?
10 Also, the dogs will consume Jezebel, in the field of Jezreel. Neither will there be anyone who may bury her.’ ” And then he opened the door, and he fled.	10 και την Ιεζαβελ οι κυνες θελουσι καταφαγει εν τω αγρω της Ιεζραελ, και δεν θελει εισθαι ο θαπτων αυτην. Και ανοιξας την θυραν, εφυγε.
11 Then Jehu went out to the servants of his lord. And they said to him: “Is everything well? Why has this insane man come to you?” And he said to them, “You know the man, and what he said.”	11 Και εξηλθεν ο Ιηου προς τους δουλους του κυριου αυτου? και ειπε τις προς αυτον, Ειρηνη; δια τι ηλθε προς σε ο παραφρων ουτος; Ο δε ειπε προς αυτους, Σεις γνωριζετε τον ανθρωπον και το λεγειν αυτου.
12 But they responded, “That is false; instead, you should tell us.” And he said to them, “He said to me these certain things, and he said, ‘Thus says the Lord: I have anointed you as king over Israel.’ ”	12 Και ειπον, Ψευδες ειναι? ειπε εις ημας, παρακαλουμεν. Ο δε ειπεν, Ουτω και ουτως ελαλησε προς εμε, λεγων, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος? σε εχρισα βασιλεα επι τον Ισραηλ.
13 And so they hurried away. And each one, taking his cloak, placed it under his feet, in the manner of a seat for judgment. And they sounded the trumpet, and they said: “Jehu reigns!”	13 Τοτε εσπευσαν, και λαβοντες εκαστος το ιματιον αυτου, εβαλον υπ' αυτον επι του υψηλοτερου αναβαθμου? και εσαλπισαν εν σαλπιγγι, λεγοντες, Εβασιλευσεν ο Ιηου.
14 Then Jehu, the son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi, conspired against Joram. Now Joram had besieged Ramoth Gilead, he and all of Israel, against Hazael, the king of Syria.	14 Και ο Ιηου, ο υιος του Ιωσαφατ, υιου του Νιμσι, εκαμε συνωμοσιαν κατα του Ιωραμ. Ο δε Ιωραμ εφυλαττετο εν Ραμωθ-γαλααδ, αυτος και απας ο Ισραηλ, απο προσωπου του Αζαηλ, βασιλεως της Συριας.
15 And he had returned, so that he might be cured at Jezreel, because of his wounds. For the Syrians had struck him, while he was fighting against Hazael, the king of Syria. And Jehu said, “If it pleases you, let no one depart, fleeing from the city; otherwise he may go and give a report in Jezreel.”	15 Ειχε δε επιστρεψει ο βασιλευς Ιωραμ δια να ιατρευθη εν Ιεζραελ απο των τραυματων, τα οποια οι Συριοι εκαμον εις αυτον, οτε επολεμει εναντιον του Αζαηλ βασιλεως της Συριας. Και ειπεν ο Ιηου? Εαν ηναι η γνωμη σας, ας μη εξελθη μηδεις φευγων εκ της πολεως, δια να υπαγη να απαγγειλη τουτο εν Ιεζραελ.
16 And he climbed up and set out for Jezreel, because Joram was sick there, and Ahaziah, the king of Judah, had gone down to visit Joram.	16 Και ιππευσας ο Ιηου, υπηγεν εις Ιεζραελ? διοτι ο Ιωραμ εκοιτετο εκει. Και Οχοζιας ο βασιλευς του Ιουδα ειχε καταβη να ιδη τον Ιωραμ.
17 And so the watchman, who was standing upon the tower of Jezreel, saw the crowd of Jehu arriving, and he said, “I see a crowd.” And Joram said: “Take a chariot, and send to meet them. And those who go should say, ‘Is everything well?’ ”	17 Ιστατο δε ο σκοπος επι του πυργου εν Ιεζραηλ και, ιδων την συνοδιαν του Ιηου ερχομενου, ειπε, Συνοδιαν βλεπω. Και ειπεν ο Ιωραμ? Λαβε επιβατην και πεμψον εις συναντησιν αυτων? και ας ερωτηση, Ειρηνη;
18 Therefore, he who had climbed into the chariot went away to meet him, and he said, “The king says this: ‘Is everything peaceful?’ ” And Jehu said: “What peace is there for you? Pass by and follow me.” Also the watchman gave a report, saying, “The messenger went to them, but he did not return.”	18 Υπηγε λοιπον επιβατης ιππου εις συναντησιν αυτου και ειπεν, Ουτω λεγει ο βασιλευς? Ειρηνη; Και ειπεν ο Ιηου, Τι σε μελει περι ειρηνης; στρεψον οπισω μου. Και ο σκοπος απηγγειλε, λεγων, Ο μηνυτης ηλθε μεχρις αυτων και δεν επεστρεψε.
19 And then he sent a second chariot of horses. And he went to them, and he said, “The king says this: ‘Is there peace?’ ” And Jehu said: “What peace is there for you? Pass by and follow me.”	19 Και απεστειλε δευτερον επιβατην ιππου? οστις, ελθων προς αυτους, ειπεν, Ουτω λεγει ο βασιλευς? Ειρηνη; Και απεκριθη ο Ιηου, Τι σε μελει περι ειρηνης; στρεψον οπισω μου.
20 Then the watchman gave a report, saying: “He went all the way to them, but he did not return. But their advance is like the advance of Jehu, the son of Nimshi. For he advances precipitously.”	20 Και απηγγειλεν ο σκοπος, λεγων, Ηλθε μεχρις αυτων και δεν επεστρεψεν? η δε πορεια ειναι ως η πορεια του Ιηου υιου του Νιμσι? διοτι οδευει μανιωδως.
21 And Joram said, “Yoke the chariot.” And they yoked his chariot. And Joram, the king of Israel, and Ahaziah, the king of Judah, departed, each in his chariot. And they went out to meet Jehu. And they met him in the field of Naboth, the Jezreelite.	21 Και ειπεν ο Ιωραμ, Ζευξατε. Και εζευξαν την αμαξαν αυτου. Και εξηλθον Ιωραμ ο βασιλευς του Ισραηλ και Οχοζιας ο βασιλευς του Ιουδα, εκαστος εν τη αμαξη αυτου, και υπηγαν εις συναντησιν του Ιηου, και ευρον αυτον εν τω αγρω Ναβουθαι του Ιεζραηλιτου.
22 And when Joram had seen Jehu, he said, “Is there peace, Jehu?” And he responded: “What is peace? For still the fornications of your mother, Jezebel, and her many poisons, are thriving.”	22 Και ως ειδεν ο Ιωραμ τον Ιηου, ειπεν, Ειρηνη, Ιηου; Ο δε απεκριθη, Τι ειρηνη, ενοσω πληθυνονται αι πορνειαι της Ιεζαβελ της μητρος σου και αι μαγειαι αυτης;
23 Then Joram turned his hand, and, fleeing, he said to Ahaziah, “Treachery, Ahaziah!”	23 Και εστρεψεν ο Ιωραμ τας χειρας αυτου και εφυγε, λεγων προς τον Οχοζιαν, Δολος, Οχοζια.
24 But Jehu bent his bow with his hand, and he struck Joram between the shoulders. And the arrow went through his heart, and immediately he fell in his chariot.	24 Και δραξας ο Ιηου το τοξον αυτου, επαταξε τον Ιωραμ μεταξυ των βραχιονων αυτου? και το βελος εξηλθε δια της καρδιας αυτου. Ο δε εκαμφθη εν τη αμαξη αυτου.
25 And Jehu said to Bidkar, his commander: “Take and cast him into the field of Naboth, the Jezreelite. For I remember, when you and I, sitting in a chariot, were following Ahab, this man’s father, that the Lord lifted this burden upon him, saying:	25 Και ειπεν ο Ιηου προς τον Βιδκαρ, τον στρατηγον αυτου? Λαβε και ριψον αυτον εις την μεριδα του αγρου του Ναβουθαι του Ιεζραηλιτου? διοτι ενθυμηθητι, οτε εγω και συ επορευομεθα εφιπποι οπισω Αχααβ του πατρος αυτου, οτι ο Κυριος επροφερε κατ' αυτου την αποφασιν ταυτην?
26 ‘Certainly, I will repay you in this field, says the Lord, for the blood of Naboth, and for the blood of his sons, which I saw yesterday, says the Lord.’ Therefore, take him now, and cast him into the field, in accord with the word of the Lord.”	26 Ναι, ειδον χθες τα αιματα του Ναβουθαι και τα αιματα των υιων αυτου, λεγει Κυριος? και θελω καμει εις σε ανταποδοσιν εν τη μεριδι ταυτη, λεγει Κυριος?-τωρα λοιπον σηκωσον και ριψον αυτον εις την μεριδα ταυτην κατα τον λογον του Κυριου.
27 But Ahaziah, the king of Judah, seeing this, fled along the way of the garden house. And Jehu pursued him, and he said, “Strike this one also in his chariot.” And they struck him on the ascent to Gur, which is beside Ibleam. But he fled into Megiddo, and he died there.	27 Ο δε Οχοζιας βασιλευς του Ιουδα, ως ειδε τουτο, εφυγε δια της οδου της οικιας του κηπου. Και κατεδιωξεν οπισω αυτου ο Ιηου και ειπε, Παταξατε και τουτον εν τη αμαξη αυτου. Και εκαμον ουτω, κατα την αναβασιν Γουρ, πλησιον του Ιβλεαμ. Και εφυγεν εις Μεγιδδω και εκει απεθανε.
28 And his servants placed him upon his chariot, and they took him to Jerusalem. And they buried him in the sepulcher with his fathers, in the city of David.	28 Και εφεραν αυτον οι δουλοι αυτου επι αμαξης εις Ιερουσαλημ, και εθαψαν αυτον εν τω ταφω αυτου, μετα των πατερων αυτου, εν τη πολει Δαβιδ.
29 In the eleventh year of Joram, the son of Ahab, Ahaziah reigned over Judah.	29 Εβασιλευσε δε ο Οχοζιας επι Ιουδα κατα το ενδεκατον ετος του Ιωραμ υιου του Αχααβ.
30 And Jehu went into Jezreel. But Jezebel, hearing of his arrival, painted her eyes with cosmetics, and adorned her head. And she watched through a window,	30 Και ηλθεν ο Ιηου εις Ιεζραελ, και ακουσασα η Ιεζαβελ, εβαψε τους οφθαλμους αυτης και εκαλλωπισε την κεφαλην αυτης και διεκυψε δια του παραθυρου.
31 as Jehu was entering through the gate. And she said, “Is it possible for there to be peace for Zimri, who killed his lord?”	31 Και, ενω εισηρχετο εις την πυλην ο Ιηου, ειπεν, Ευτυχησεν ο Ζιμβρι, ο φονευσας τον κυριον αυτου;
32 And Jehu lifted up his face to the window, and he said, “Who is this woman?” And two or three eunuchs bowed down before him.	32 Ο δε, υψωσας το προσωπον αυτου προς το παραθυρον, ειπε, Τις ειναι μετ' εμου; τις; Και εκυψαν προς αυτον δυο τρεις ευνουχοι.
33 And he said to them, “Throw her down with force.” And they threw her forcefully, and the wall was splattered with her blood, and the hoofs of the horses trampled her.	33 Και ειπε, Ριψατε αυτην κατω. Και ερριψαν αυτην κατω, και ερραντισθη εκ του αιματος αυτης προς τον τοιχον και προς τους ιππους? και κατεπατησεν αυτην.
34 And when he had entered, so that he might eat and drink, he said: “Go, and see to that cursed woman, and bury her. For she is the daughter of a king.”	34 Και αφου εισηλθε και εφαγε και επιεν, ειπεν, Υπαγετε να ιδητε τωρα την κατηραμενην ταυτην, και θαψατε αυτην? διοτι ειναι θυγατηρ βασιλεως.
35 But when they had gone, so that they might bury her, they found nothing but the skull, and the feet, and the ends of her hands.	35 Και υπηγαν δια να θαψωσιν αυτην? πλην δεν ευρηκαν εις αυτην παρα το κρανιον και τους ποδας και τας παλαμας των χειρων.
36 And returning, they reported to him. And Jehu said: “It is the word of the Lord, which he spoke though his servant, Elijah the Tishbite, saying: ‘In the field of Jezreel, the dogs will consume the flesh of Jezebel.	36 Και επιστρεψαντες απηγγειλαν προς αυτον. Ο δε ειπεν, Ουτος ειναι ο λογος του Κυριου, τον οποιον ελαλησε δια του δουλου αυτου Ηλια του Θεσβιτου, λεγων, Εν τη μεριδι της Ιεζραελ θελουσι καταφαγει οι κυνες τας σαρκας της Ιεζαβελ?
37 And the flesh of Jezebel will be like dung upon the face of the earth, in the field of Jezreel, so that those who pass by may say: Is this that same Jezebel?’ ”	37 και το πτωμα της Ιεζαβελ θελει εισθαι ως κοπρια επι προσωπου του αγρου εν τη μεριδι Ιεζραελ, ωστε να μη ειπωσιν, Αυτη ειναι η Ιεζαβελ.
