2 Chronicles 32

DOUAI-RHEIMS	GREEK BIBLE
1 After these things, and this truth, Sennacherib king of the Assyrians came and entered into Juda, and besieged the fenced cities, desiring to take them.	1 Μετα τα πραγματα ταυτα και την αληθειαν ταυτην, ηλθε Σενναχειρειμ ο βασιλευς της Ασσυριας, και εισηλθεν εις τον Ιουδαν και εστρατοπεδευσεν εναντιον των οχυρων πολεων και ειπε να υποταξη αυτας εις εαυτον.
2 And when Ezechias saw that Sennacherib was come, and that the whole force of the war was turning against Jerusalem,	2 Και ιδων ο Εζεκιας, οτι ο Σενναχειρειμ ηλθε και ο σκοπος αυτου ητο να πολεμηση εναντιον της Ιερουσαλημ,
3 He took counsel with the princes, and the most valiant men, to stop up the heads of the springs, that were without the city: and as they were all of this mind,	3 συνεβουλευθη μετα των αρχοντων αυτου και μετα των δυνατων αυτου, να εμφραξη τα υδατα των πηγων των εξω της πολεως? και συνηργησαν μετ' αυτου.
4 He gathered together a very great multitude, and they stopped up all the springs, and the brook, that ran through the midst of the land, saying: Lest the kings of the Assyrians should come, and And abundance of water.	4 Και συνηχθη λαος πολυς, και ενεφραξαν πασας τας πηγας και τον ποταμον τον ρεοντα δια μεσου της γης, λεγων, Δια τι ελθοντες οι βασιλεις της Ασσυριας να ευρωσιν υδωρ πολυ;
5 He built up also with great diligence all the wall that had been broken down, and built towers upon it, and another wall without: and he repaired Mello in the city of David, and made all sorts of arms and shields:	5 Ενδυναμωθεις ετι ανωκοδομησεν ολον το τειχος το κεχαλασμενον και υψωσεν εως των πυργων, και αλλο τειχος εξω και επεσκευασε την Μιλλω της πολεως Δαβιδ, και εκαμεν οπλα πολλα και θυρεους.
6 And he appointed captains of the soldiers of the army: and he called them all together in the street of the gate of the city, and spoke to their heart, saying:	6 Και εβαλε πολεμαρχους επι τον λαον, και συνηθροισεν αυτους προς εαυτον εις την πλατειαν της πυλης της πολεως και ελαλησε κατα την καρδιαν αυτων, λεγων,
7 Behave like men, and take courage: be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of the Assyrians, nor for all the multitude that is with him: for there are many more with us than with him.	7 Ενδυναμουσθε και ανδριζεσθε, μη φοβηθητε μηδε πτοηθητε απο προσωπου του βασιλεως της Ασσυριας, και απο προσωπου παντος του πληθους του μετ' αυτου? διοτι πλειοτεροι ειναι μεθ' ημων παρα μετ' αυτου?
8 For with him is an arm of flesh: with us the Lord our God, who is our helper, and fighteth for us. And the people were encouraged with these words of Ezechias king of Juda.	8 μετ' αυτου ειναι βραχιονες σαρκινοι μεθ' ημων δε ειναι Κυριος ο Θεος ημων, δια να βοηθη ημας και να μαχηται τας μαχας ημων. Και ενεθαρρυνθη ο λαος εις τους λογους Εζεκιου του βασιλεως του Ιουδα.
9 After this, Sennacherib king of the Assyrians sent his servants to Jerusalem, (for he with all his army was besieging Lachis,) to Ezechias king of Juda, and to all the people that were in the city, saying:	9 Μετα ταυτα απεστειλεν ο Σενναχειρειμ βασιλευς της Ασσυριας τους δουλους αυτου εις Ιερουσαλημ, αυτος δε, εχων μεθ' εαυτου πασαν την δυναμιν αυτου, επολιορκει την Λαχεις, προς Εζεκιαν τον βασιλεα του Ιουδα, και προς παντα τον Ιουδαν τον εν Ιερουσαλημ, λεγων,
10 Thus saith Sennacherib king of the Assyrians: In whom do you trust, that you sit still besieged in Jerusalem?	10 Ουτω λεγει Σενναχειρειμ ο βασιλευς της Ασσυριας? Εις τι πεποιθοτες καθησθε, πολιορκουμενοι εν Ιερουσαλημ;
11 Doth not Ezechias deceive you, to give you up to die by hunger and thirst, affirming that the Lord your God shall deliver you from the hand of the king of the Assyrians?	11 Δεν σας απατα ο Εζεκιας δια να σας παραδωση εις θανατον απο πεινης και απο διψης, λεγων, Κυριος ο Θεος ημων θελει ελευθερωσει ημας εκ της χειρος του βασιλεως της Ασσυριας;
12 Is it not this same Ezechias, that hath destroyed his high places, and his altars, and commanded Juda and Jerusalem, saying: You shall worship before one altar, and upon it you shall burn incense?	12 Αυτος ουτος ο Εζεκιας δεν εσηκωσε τους υψηλους αυτου τοπους και τα θυσιαστηρια αυτου και ειπε προς τον Ιουδαν και προς τον Ιερουσαλημ, λεγων, Εμπροσθεν ενος μονον θυσιαστηριου θελετε προσκυνει και επ' αυτο θελετε θυμιαζει;
13 Know you not what I and my fathers have done to all the people of the lands? have the gods of any nations and lands been able to deliver their country out of my hand?	13 Δεν εξευρετε τι επραξα εγω και οι πατερες μου εις παντας τους λαους της γης; ηδυνηθησαν οι θεοι των εθνων της γης να λυτρωσωσι τους τοπους αυτων εκ της χειρος μου;
14 Who is there among all the gods of the nations, which my fathers have destroyed, that could deliver his people out of my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of this hand?	14 Τις εκ παντων των θεων των εθνων εκεινων, τα οποια οι πατερες μου εξωλοθρευσαν, ηδυνηθη να λυτρωση τον λαον αυτου εκ της χειρος μου, ωστε να δυνηθη ο Θεος υμων να λυτρωση υμας εκ της χειρος μου;
15 Therefore let not Ezechias deceive you, nor delude you with a vain persuasion, and do not believe him. For if no god of all the nations and kingdoms, could deliver his people out of my hand, and out of the hand of my fathers, consequently neither shall your God be able to deliver you out of my hand.	15 Τωρα λοιπον ας μη σας πλανα ο Εζεκιας, και ας μη σας απατα ουτως, και μη πιστευετε αυτον? διοτι ουδεις θεος ουδενος εθνους η βασιλειας ηδυνηθη να λυτρωση τον λαον αυτου εκ της χειρος μου και εκ της χειρος των πατερων μου? πολυ ολιγωτερον ο Θεος σας θελει σας λυτρωσει εκ της χειρος μου.
16 And many other things did his servants speak against the Lord God, and against Ezechias his servant.	16 Και περισσοτερα ετι ελαλησαν οι δουλοι αυτου εναντιον Κυριου του Θεου και εναντιον του δουλου αυτου Εζεκιου.
17 He wrote also letters full of blasphemy against the Lord the God of Israel, and he spoke against him: As the gods of other nations could not deliver their people out of my hand, so neither can the God of Ezechias deliver his people out of this hand.	17 Και επιστολας εγραψε δια να ονειδιση Κυριον τον Θεον του Ισραηλ και να λαληση κατ' αυτου, λεγων, Καθως οι θεοι των εθνων της γης δεν ελυτρωσαν τον λαον αυτων εκ της χειρος μου, ουτω και ο Θεος του Εζεκιου δεν θελει λυτρωσει τον λαον αυτου εκ της χειρος μου.
18 Moreover he cried out with a loud voice, in the Jews' tongue, to the people that sat on the walls of Jerusalem, that he might frighten them, and take the city.	18 Τοτε εβοησαν Ιουδαιστι, μετα φωνης μεγαλης, προς τον λαον της Ιερουσαλημ τον επι του τειχους, δια να φοβισωσιν αυτους και να ταραξωσιν αυτους, οπως κυριευσωσι την πολιν?
19 And he spoke against the God of Jerusalem, as against the gods of the people of the earth, the works of the hands of men.	19 και ελαλησαν κατα του Θεου της Ιερουσαλημ, καθως κατα των θεων των λαων της γης, οιτινες ειναι εργα χειρων ανθρωπων.
20 And Ezechias the king, and Isaias the prophet the son of Amos, prayed against this blasphemy, and cried out to heaven.	20 Και προσευχηθη περι τουτων Εζεκιας ο βασιλευς και Ησαιας ο προφητης, ο υιος του Αμως, και εβοησαν προς τον ουρανον.
21 And the Lord sent an angel who cut off all the stout men and the warriors, and the captains of the army of the king of the Assyrians: and he returned with disgrace into his own country. And when he was come into the house of his god, his sons that came out of his bowels, slew him with the sword.	21 Και απεστειλε Κυριος αγγελον, οστις ηφανισε παντας τους δυνατους εν ισχυι και τους αρχοντας και τους στρατηγους εν τω στρατοπεδω του βασιλεως της Ασσυριας. Και επεστρεψε με κατησχυμμενον προσωπον εις την γην αυτου. Και οτε εισηλθεν εις τον οικον του θεου αυτου, οι εξελθοντες εκ των σπλαγχνων αυτου εθανατωσαν αυτον εκει εν μαχαιρα.
22 And the Lord saved Ezechias and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of the hand of Sennacherib king of the Assyrians, and out of the hand of all, and gave them treasures on every side.	22 Και εσωσεν ο Κυριος τον Εζεκιαν και τους κατοικους της Ιερουσαλημ εκ της χειρος Σενναχειρειμ του βασιλεως της Ασσυριας και εκ της χειρος παντων, και ησφαλισεν αυτους κυκλοθεν.
23 Many also brought victims, and sacrifices to the Lord to Jerusalem, and presents to Ezechias king of Juda: and he was magnified thenceforth in the sight of all nations.	23 Και εφεραν πολλοι δωρα προς τον Κυριον εις Ιερουσαλημ και πολυτιμα πραγματα προς Εζεκιαν τον βασιλεα του Ιουδα? και εμεγαλυνθη εκτοτε ενωπιον παντων των εθνων.
24 In those days Ezechias was sick even to death, and he prayed to the Lord: and he heard him, and gave him a sign.	24 Κατ' εκεινας τας ημερας ηρρωστησεν ο Εζεκιας εως θανατου? και προσευχηθη εις τον Κυριον? και επηκουσεν αυτου και εδωκεν εις αυτον σημειον.
25 But he did not render again according to the benefits which he had received, for his heart was lifted up: and wrath was enkindled against him, and against Juda and Jerusalem.	25 Πλην δεν ανταπεδωκεν ο Εζεκιας κατα την εις αυτον ευεργεσιαν? διοτι επηρθη η καρδια αυτου? οθεν επηλθεν οργη επ' αυτον και επι τον Ιουδαν και την Ιερουσαλημ.
26 And he humbled himself afterwards, because his heart had been lifted up, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and therefore the wrath of the Lord came not upon them in the days of Ezechias.	26 Και εταπεινωθη ο Εζεκιας δια την επαρσιν της καρδιας αυτου, αυτος και οι κατοικοι της Ιερουσαλημ, και δεν ηλθεν επ' αυτους η οργη του Κυριου εν ταις ημεραις του Εζεκιου.
27 And Ezechias was rich, and very glorious, and he gathered himself great treasures of silver and of gold, and of precious stones, of spices, and of arms, of all kinds, and of vessels of great price.	27 Απεκτησε δε ο Εζεκιας πλουτον και δοξαν πολλην σφοδρα? και εκαμεν εις εαυτον θησαυρους αργυριου και χρυσιου και λιθων πολυτιμων και αρωματων και ασπιδων και παντος ειδους σκευων επιθυμητων?
28 Storehouses also of corn, of wine, and of oil, and stalls for all beasts, and folds for cattle.	28 και αποθηκας δια το εισοδημα του σιτου και του οινου και του ελαιου? και σταυλους δια παν ειδος κτηνων και μανδρας δια ποιμνια.
29 And he built himself cities: for he had docks of sheep, and herds without number, for the Lord had given him very much substance.	29 Και εκαμεν εις εαυτον πολεις και απεκτησε προβατα και βοας εις πληθος? διοτι ο Θεος εδωκεν εις αυτον περιουσιαν πολλην σφοδρα.
30 This same Ezechias was, he that stopped the upper source of the waters of Gihon, and turned them away underneath toward the west of the city of David : in ail his works he did prosperously what he would.	30 Εφραξεν ετι αυτος ο Εζεκιας την ανω εξοδον των υδατων του Γιων, και διηυθυνεν αυτα κατω προς δυσμας της πολεως Δαβιδ. Και ευωδωθη ο Εζεκιας εις παντα τα εργα αυτου.
31 But yet in the embassy of the princes of Babylon, that were sent to him, to inquire of the wonder that had happened upon the earth, God left him that he might be tempted, and all things might be made known that were in his heart.	31 Επι των πρεσβεων ομως των αρχοντων της Βαβυλωνος, οιτινες εστειλαν προς αυτον δια να ερευνησωσι περι του θαυματος του γενομενου εν τη γη, ο Θεος εγκατελιπεν αυτον, δια να δοκιμαση αυτον, ωστε να γνωριση παντα τα εν τη καρδια αυτου.
32 Now the rest of the acts of Ezechias, and of his mercies are written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel.	32 Αι δε λοιπαι πραξεις του Εζεκιου και τα ελεη αυτου, ιδου, ειναι γεγραμμενα εν τη ορασει Ησαιου του προφητου, υιου του Αμως, εν τω βιβλιω των βασιλεων Ιουδα και Ισραηλ.
33 And Ezechias slept with his fathers, m and they buried him above the sepulchres of the sons of David: and all Juda, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem celebrated his funeral: and Manasses his son reigned in his stead.	33 Και εκοιμηθη ο Εζεκιας μετα των πατερων αυτου, και εθαψαν αυτον εν τω υψηλοτερω των ταφων των υιων Δαβιδ? και πας ο Ιουδας και οι κατοικοι της Ιερουσαλημ εκαμον εις αυτον τιμας εν τω θανατω αυτου? εβασιλευσε δε αντ' αυτου Μανασσης ο υιος αυτου.
