ΒΑΣΙΛΕΙΩΝ Δ´ - 2 Re - Kings IV 24

GREEK BIBLE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Εν ταις ημεραις αυτου ανεβη Ναβουχοδονοσορ ο βασιλευς της Βαβυλωνος, και ο Ιωακειμ εγεινε δουλος αυτου τρια ετη? επειτα εστραφη και απεστατησε κατ' αυτου.	1 During his reign Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, moved against him, and Jehoiakim became his vassal for three years. Then Jehoiakim turned and rebelled against him.
2 Και απεστειλεν ο Κυριος εναντιον αυτου τα ταγματα των Χαλδαιων και τα ταγματα των Συριων και τα ταγματα των Μωαβιτων και τα ταγματα των υιων Αμμων, και απεστειλεν αυτους εναντιον του Ιουδα, δια να καταστρεψωσιν αυτον? κατα τον λογον του Κυριου, τον οποιον ελαλησε δια χειρος των δουλων αυτου των προφητων.	2 The LORD loosed against him bands of Chaldeans, Arameans, Moabites, and Ammonites; he loosed them against Judah to destroy it, as the LORD had threatened through his servants the prophets.
3 Τω οντι κατα προσταγην του Κυριου εγεινε τουτο εις τον Ιουδαν, δια να αποβαλη αυτον απο προσωπου αυτου, δια τας αμαρτιας του Μανασση, κατα παντα οσα επραξε?	3 This befell Judah because the LORD had stated that he would inexorably put them out of his sight for the sins Manasseh had committed in all that he did;
4 και ετι δια το αθωον αιμα το οποιον εχυσε, διοτι εγεμισε την Ιερουσαλημ αιμα αθωον? και δεν ηθελησεν ο Κυριος να συγχωρηση αυτον.	4 and especially because of the innocent blood he shed, with which he filled Jerusalem, the LORD would not forgive.
5 Αι δε λοιπαι πραξεις του Ιωακειμ και παντα οσα επραξε, δεν ειναι γεγραμμενα εν τω βιβλιω των χρονικων των βασιλεων του Ιουδα;	5 The rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, with all that he did, are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah.
6 Και εκοιμηθη ο Ιωακειμ μετα των πατερων αυτου, και εβασιλευσεν αντ' αυτου Ιωαχειν ο υιος αυτου.	6 Jehoiakim rested with his ancestors, and his son Jehoiachin succeeded him as king.
7 Ο δε βασιλευς της Αιγυπτου δεν εξηλθε πλεον εκ της γης αυτου? διοτι ο βασιλευς της Βαβυλωνος ελαβεν, απο του ποταμου της Αιγυπτου μεχρι του ποταμου Ευφρατου, παντα οσα ησαν του βασιλεως της Αιγυπτου.	7 The king of Egypt did not again leave his own land, for the king of Babylon had taken all that belonged to the king of Egypt from the Wadi of Egypt to the Euphrates River.
8 Δεκαοκτω ετων ηλικιας ητο ο Ιωαχειν, οτε εβασιλευσε? και εβασιλευσε τρεις μηνας εν Ιερουσαλημ? το δε ονομα της μητρος αυτου ητο Νεουσθα, θυγατηρ του Ελναθαν εξ Ιερουσαλημ.	8 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Nehushta, daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.
9 Και επραξε πονηρα ενωπιον του Κυριου, κατα παντα οσα επραξεν ο πατηρ αυτου.	9 He did evil in the sight of the LORD, just as his forebears had done.
10 Κατ' εκεινον τον καιρον ανεβησαν οι δουλοι του Ναβουχοδονοσορ βασιλεως της Βαβυλωνος επι την Ιερουσαλημ και επολιορκησαν την πολιν.	10 At that time the officials of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, attacked Jerusalem, and the city came under siege.
11 Και ηλθε Ναβουχοδονοσορ ο βασιλευς της Βαβυλωνος κατα της πολεως, και οι δουλοι αυτου επολιορκουν αυτην.	11 Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, himself arrived at the city while his servants were besieging it.
12 Και εξηλθεν ο Ιωαχειν βασιλευς του Ιουδα προς τον βασιλεα της Βαβυλωνος, αυτος και η μητηρ αυτου και οι δουλοι αυτου και οι αρχοντες αυτου και οι ευνουχοι αυτου? και συνελαβεν αυτον ο βασιλευς της Βαβυλωνος, εν τω ογδοω ετει της βασιλειας αυτου.	12 Then Jehoiachin, king of Judah, together with his mother, his ministers, officers, and functionaries, surrendered to the king of Babylon, who, in the eighth year of his reign, took him captive.
13 Και εξηγαγεν εκειθεν παντας τους θησαυρους του οικου του Κυριου και τους θησαυρους του οικου του βασιλεως, και κατεκοψε παντα τα σκευη τα χρυσα, τα οποια εκαμε Σολομων ο βασιλευς του Ισραηλ εν τω ναω, του Κυριου, καθως ελαλησεν ο Κυριος.	13 He carried off all the treasures of the temple of the LORD and those of the palace, and broke up all the gold utensils that Solomon, king of Israel, had provided in the temple of the LORD, as the LORD had foretold.
14 Και μετωκισε πασαν την Ιερουσαλημ και παντας τους αρχοντας και παντας τους δυνατους πολεμιστας, δεκα χιλιαδας αιχμαλωτων, και παντας τους ξυλουργους και σιδηρουργους? δεν εμεινεν ειμη το πτωχοτερον μερος του λαου της γης.	14 He deported all Jerusalem: all the officers and men of the army, ten thousand in number, and all the craftsmen and smiths. None were left among the people of the land except the poor.
15 Και μετωκισε τον Ιωαχειν εις την Βαβυλωνα? και την μητερα του βασιλεως και τας γυναικας του βασιλεως και τους ευνουχους αυτου και τους δυνατους της γης εφερεν αιχμαλωτους εξ Ιερουσαλημ εις την Βαβυλωνα?	15 He deported Jehoiachin to Babylon, and also led captive from Jerusalem to Babylon the king's mother and wives, his functionaries, and the chief men of the land.
16 και παντας τους πολεμιστας, επτα χιλιαδας, και τους ξυλουργους και τους σιδηρουργους, χιλιους, παντας δυνατους και επιτηδειους εις πολεμον? και μετωκισεν αυτους εις Βαβυλωνα ο βασιλευς της Βαβυλωνος.	16 The king of Babylon also led captive to Babylon all seven thousand men of the army, and a thousand craftsmen and smiths, all of them trained soldiers.
17 Και εκαμεν ο βασιλευς της Βαβυλωνος βασιλεα, αντ' αυτου, Ματθανιαν τον αδελφον του πατρος αυτου, και μετηλλαξε το ονομα αυτου εις Σεδεκιαν.	17 In place of Jehoiachin, the king of Babylon appointed his uncle Mattaniah king, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
18 Ενος και εικοσι ετων ηλικιας ητο ο Σεδεκιας, οτε εβασιλευσεν? εβασιλευσε δε ενδεκα ετη εν Ιερουσαλημ? το δε ονομα της μητρος αυτου ητο Αμουταλ, θυγατηρ του Ιερεμιου απο Λιβνα.	18 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Hamutal, daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
19 Και επραξε πονηρα ενωπιον του Κυριου, κατα παντα οσα επραξεν ο Ιωακειμ?	19 He also did evil in the sight of the LORD, just as Jehoiakim had done.
20 διοτι εξ οργης του Κυριου κατα της Ιερουσαλημ και του Ιουδα, εωσου απερριψεν αυτους απο προσωπου αυτου, εγεινε να αποστατηση ο Σεδεκιας κατα του βασιλεως της Βαβυλωνος.	20 The LORD'S anger befell Jerusalem and Judah till he cast them out from his presence. Thus Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
