2 Chronicles 12

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 And when the kingdom of Rehoboam had been strengthened and fortified, he abandoned the law of the Lord, and all of Israel with him.	1 Και καθως εστερεωθη η βασιλεια του Ροβοαμ και ενεδυναμωθη, εγκατελιπε τον νομον του Κυριου, και πας ο Ισραηλ μετ' αυτου.
2 Then, in the fifth year of the reign of Rehoboam, Shishak, the king of Egypt, ascended against Jerusalem (for they had sinned against the Lord)	2 Και εν τω πεμπτω ετει της βασιλειας του Ροβοαμ, Σισακ ο βασιλευς της Αιγυπτου ανεβη εναντιον της Ιερουσαλημ, επειδη παρηνομησαν εις τον Κυριον,
3 with one thousand two hundred chariots and sixty thousand horsemen. And the common people could not be numbered who had arrived with him from Egypt, namely, the Libyans, and the Troglodytes, and the Ethiopians.	3 μετα χιλιων διακοσιων αμαξων και εξηκοντα χιλιαδων ιππεων? ο δε λαος οστις ηλθε μετ' αυτου εξ Αιγυπτου ητο αναριθμητος, Λιβυες, Τρωγλοδυται και Αιθιοπες.
4 And he seized the most fortified cities in Judah, and he went even to Jerusalem.	4 Και κυριευσας τας οχυρας πολεις τας εν Ιουδα, ηλθεν εως της Ιερουσαλημ.
5 Then Shemaiah, the prophet, entered to Rehoboam, and to the leaders of Judah who had gathered together in Jerusalem while fleeing from Shishak, and he said to them: “Thus says the Lord: You have abandoned me, and so I have abandoned you into the hand of Shishak.”	5 Τοτε Σεμαιας ο προφητης ηλθε προς τον Ροβοαμ και τους αρχοντας του Ιουδα, τους συναχθεντας εν Ιερουσαλημ δια τον φοβον του Σισακ, και ειπε προς αυτους, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος? Σεις με εγκατελιπετε? δια τουτο σας εγκατελιπον και εγω εις την χειρα του Σισακ.
6 And the leaders of Israel, and the king, being in consternation, said, “The Lord is just.”	6 Και εταπεινωθησαν οι αρχοντες του Ισραηλ και ο βασιλευς, και ελεγον, Δικαιος ο Κυριος.
7 And when the Lord had seen that they were humbled, the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah, saying: “Because they have been humbled, I will not disperse them. And I will give to them a little help, and my fury will not rain down upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.	7 Και οτε ειδεν ο Κυριος οτι εταπεινωθησαν, εγεινε λογος Κυριου προς τον Σεμαιαν, λεγων, Ουτοι εταπεινωθησαν? δεν θελω εξολοθρευσει αυτους, αλλα θελω χαρισει εις αυτους σωτηριαν τινα? και ο θυμος μου δεν θελει εκχυθη επι την Ιερουσαλημ δια χειρος του Σισακ?
8 Yet truly, they shall serve him, so that they may know the difference between my servitude, and the servitude of a kingdom of the lands.”	8 αλλ' ομως θελουσι γεινει δουλοι αυτου, δια να γνωρισωσι την δουλειαν την εμην και την δουλειαν των βασιλειων της γης.
9 And so Shishak, the king of Egypt, withdrew from Jerusalem, taking up the treasures of the house of the Lord and of the house of the king. And he took away everything with him, even the gold shields that Solomon had made.	9 Και ανεβη Σισακ ο βασιλευς της Αιγυπτου επι την Ιερουσαλημ, και ελαβε τους θησαυρους του οικου του Κυριου και τους θησαυρους του οικου του βασιλεως? τα παντα ελαβεν? ελαβεν ετι τους θυρεους τους χρυσους, τους οποιους εκαμεν ο Σολομων.
10 In place of these, the king made bronze ones, and he delivered them to the leaders of the shield bearers, who were guarding the vestibule of the palace.	10 Και αντ' εκεινων εκαμεν ο βασιλευς Ροβοαμ θυρεους χαλκινους, και παρεδωκεν αυτους εις τας χειρας των αρχοντων των σωματοφυλακων, οιτινες εφυλαττον την εισοδον του οικου του βασιλεως.
11 And when the king would enter into the house of the Lord, the shield bearers would arrive and take them, and they would carry them back to their armory.	11 Και οποτε εισηρχετο ο βασιλευς εις τον οικον του Κυριου, οι σωματοφυλακες ηρχοντο και ελαμβανον αυτους, και παλιν εφερον αυτους εις το οικημα των σωματοφυλακων.
12 Yet truly, because they were humbled, the wrath of the Lord turned away from them, and so they were not utterly destroyed. And indeed, good works were also found in Judah.	12 Επειδη λοιπον εταπεινωθη, απεστραφη απ' αυτου ο θυμος του Κυριου, δια να μη αφανιση αυτους ολοκληρως? διοτι ησαν ετι αγαθα πραγματα εν τω Ιουδα.
13 Therefore, king Rehoboam was strengthened in Jerusalem, and he reigned. He was forty-one years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city that the Lord chose out of all the tribes of Israel, so that he might confirm his name there. Now the name of his mother was Naamah, an Ammonite.	13 Και ενεδυναμωθη ο βασιλευς Ροβοαμ εν Ιερουσαλημ και εβασιλευσε? διοτι ο Ροβοαμ ητο ηλικιας τεσσαρακοντα και ενος ετους οτε εβασιλευσε, και εβασιλευσε δεκαεπτα ετη εν Ιερουσαλημ, τη πολει την οποιαν ο Κυριος εξελεξεν εκ πασων των φυλων του Ισραηλ, δια να θεση το ονομα αυτου εκει. Της δε μητρος αυτου το ονομα ητο Νααμα η Αμμωνιτις.
14 But he did evil, and he did not prepare his heart so as to seek the Lord.	14 Και επραξε πονηρα, επειδη δεν προσηλωσε την καρδιαν αυτου εις το να εκζητη τον Κυριον.
15 Truly, the works of Rehoboam, the first and the last, have been written in the books of Shemaiah, the prophet, and of Iddo, the seer, and diligently set forth. And Rehoboam and Jeroboam fought against one another during all their days.	15 Αι δε πραξεις του Ροβοαμ, αι πρωται και αι εσχαται, δεν ειναι γεγραμμεναι εν τω βιβλιω Σεμαιου του προφητου και Ιδδω του βλεποντος, εν ταις γενεαλογιαις; Ησαν δε παντοτε πολεμοι μεταξυ Ροβοαμ και Ιεροβοαμ.
16 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the City of David. And his son, Abijah, reigned in his place.	16 Και εκοιμηθη ο Ροβοαμ μετα των πατερων αυτου και εταφη εν πολει Δαβιδ? εβασιλευσε δε αντ' αυτου Αβια ο υιος αυτου.
