ΒΑΣΙΛΕΙΩΝ Δ´ - 2 Re - Kings IV 20

GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Κατ' εκεινας τας ημερας ηρρωστησεν ο Εζεκιας εις θανατον? και ηλθε προς αυτον Ησαιας ο προφητης, ο υιος του Αμως, και ειπε προς αυτον, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος? Διαταξον περι του οικου σου, επειδη αποθνησκεις και δεν θελεις ζησει.	1 In those days, Hezekiah was sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah, the son of Amoz, came and said to him: “Thus says the Lord God: Instruct your house, for you will die, and not live.”
2 Τοτε εστρεψε το προσωπον αυτου προς τον τοιχον και προσηυχηθη εις τον Κυριον, λεγων,	2 And he turned his face to the wall, and he prayed to the Lord, saying:
3 Δεομαι, Κυριε, ενθυμηθητι τωρα, πως περιεπατησα ενωπιον σου εν αληθεια και εν καρδια τελεια και επραξα το αρεστον ενωπιον σου. Και εκλαυσεν ο Εζεκιας κλαυθμον μεγαν.	3 “I beg you, O Lord, I beseech you, remember how I have walked before you in truth, and with a perfect heart, and how I have done what is pleasing before you.” And then Hezekiah wept with a great weeping.
4 Και πριν εξελθη ο Ησαιας εις την αυλην την μεσαιαν, εγεινε λογος Κυριου προς αυτον, λεγων,	4 And before Isaiah departed from the middle part of the atrium, the word of the Lord came to him, saying:
5 Επιστρεψον και ειπε προς τον Εζεκιαν τον ηγεμονα του λαου μου, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος του Δαβιδ του πατρος σου? Ηκουσα την προσευχην σου, ειδον τα δακρυα σου? ιδου, εγω θελω σε ιατρευσει την τριτην ημεραν θελεις αναβη εις τον οικον του Κυριου?	5 “Return and tell Hezekiah, the leader of my people: Thus says the Lord, the God of your father David: I have heard your prayer, and I have seen your tears. And behold, I have healed you. On the third day, you shall ascend to the temple of the Lord.
6 και θελω προσθεσει εις τας ημερας σου δεκαπεντε ετη? και θελω ελευθερωσει σε και την πολιν ταυτην εκ της χειρος του βασιλεως της Ασσυριας? και θελω υπερασπισθη την πολιν ταυτην, ενεκεν εμου και ενεκεν του δουλου μου Δαβιδ.	6 And I will add fifteen years to your days. Then too, I will free you and this city from the hand of the king of the Assyrians. And I will protect this city for my own sake, and for the sake of my servant David.”
7 Και ειπεν ο Ησαιας, Λαβετε παλαθην συκων. Και ελαβον και επεθεσαν αυτην επι το ελκος, και ανελαβε την υγειαν αυτου.	7 And Isaiah said, “Bring me a mass of figs.” And when they had brought it, and they had placed it on his sore, he was healed.
8 Και ειπεν ο Εζεκιας προς τον Ησαιαν, Τι ειναι το σημειον οτι ο Κυριος θελει με ιατρευσει, και οτι θελω αναβη εις τον οικον του Κυριου την τριτην ημεραν;	8 But Hezekiah had said to Isaiah, “What will be the sign that the Lord will heal me, and that I will ascend to the temple of the Lord on the third day?”
9 Και ειπεν ο Ησαιας, Τουτο θελει εισθαι εις σε το σημειον παρα Κυριου, οτι θελει καμει ο Κυριος το πραγμα το οποιον ελαλησε? να προχωρηση η σκια δεκα βαθμους, η να στραφη δεκα βαθμους;	9 And Isaiah said to him: “This will be the sign from the Lord, that the Lord will do the word that he has spoken: Do you wish that the shadow may ascend ten lines, or that it may turn back for the same number of degrees?”
10 Και απεκριθη ο Εζεκιας, Ελαφρον πραγμα ειναι να καταβη η σκια δεκα βαθμους? ουχι, αλλ' ας στραφη οπισω δεκα βαθμους η σκια.	10 And Hezekiah said: “It is an easy for the shadow to increase for ten lines. And so I do not wish that this be done. Instead, let it turn back for ten degrees.”
11 Και εβοησεν ο Ησαιας ο προφητης προς τον Κυριον, και εστρεψεν οπισω την σκιαν δεκα βαθμους, δια των βαθμων τους οποιους κατεβη δια των βαθμων του Αχαζ.	11 And so the prophet Isaiah called upon the Lord. And he led back the shadow, along the lines by which it had already descended on the sundial of Ahaz, in reverse for ten degrees.
12 Κατ' εκεινον τον καιρον Βερωδαχ-βαλαδαν, ο υιος του Βαλαδαν, βασιλευς της Βαβυλωνος, εστειλεν επιστολας και δωρον προς τον Εζεκιαν? διοτι ηκουσεν οτι ηρρωστησεν ο Εζεκιας.	12 At that time, Merodach-baladan, the son of Baladan, the king of the Babylonians, sent letters and gifts to Hezekiah. For he had heard that Hezekiah had been ill.
13 Και ηκροασθη αυτους ο Εζεκιας και εδειξεν εις αυτους παντα τον οικον των πολυτιμων αυτου πραγματων, τον αργυρον και τον χρυσον και τα αρωματα και τα πολυτιμα μυρα και ολην την οπλοθηκην αυτου και παν ο, τι ευρισκετο εν τοις θησαυροις αυτου? δεν ητο ουδεν εν τω οικω αυτου ουδε υπο πασαν την εξουσιαν αυτου, το οποιον ο Εζεκιας δεν εδειξεν εις αυτους.	13 Now Hezekiah rejoiced at their arrival, and so he revealed to them the house of aromatic spices, and the gold and silver, and the various pigments and ointments, and the house of his vessels, and all that he was able to have in his treasuries. There was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominions, that Hezekiah did not show to them.
14 Τοτε ηλθεν Ησαιας ο προφητης προς τον βασιλεα Εζεκιαν και ειπε προς αυτον, Τι λεγουσιν ουτοι οι ανθρωποι; και ποθεν ηλθον προς σε; Και ειπεν ο Εζεκιας, Απο γης μακρας ερχονται, απο Βαβυλωνος.	14 Then the prophet Isaiah came to king Hezekiah, and said to him: “What did these men say? And from where did they come to you?” And Hezekiah said to him, “They came to me from Babylon, from a far away land.”
15 Ο δε ειπε, Τι ειδον εν τω οικω σου; Και απεκριθη ο Εζεκιας, Ειδον παν ο, τι ειναι εν τω οικω μου? δεν ειναι ουδεν εν τοις θησαυροις μου, το οποιον δεν εδειξα εις αυτους.	15 And he responded, “What did they see in your house?” And Hezekiah said: “They saw all things whatsoever that are in my house. There is nothing in my treasuries that I did not show to them.”
16 Τοτε ειπεν ο Ησαιας προς τον Εζεκιαν, Ακουσον τον λογον του Κυριου?	16 And so Isaiah said to Hezekiah: “Listen to the word of the Lord.
17 Ιδου, ερχονται ημεραι, καθ' ας παν ο, τι ειναι εν τω οικω σου και ο, τι οι πατερες σου εναπεταμιευσαν μεχρι της ημερας ταυτης, θελει μετακομισθη εις την Βαβυλωνα? δεν θελει μεινει ουδεν, λεγει Κυριος?	17 Behold, the days are coming when all that is in your house, and all that your fathers have stored up even to this day, will be carried away to Babylon. Nothing at all shall remain, says the Lord.
18 και εκ των υιων σου οιτινες θελουσιν εξελθει απο σου, τους οποιους θελεις γεννησει, θελουσι λαβει και θελουσι γεινει ευνουχοι εν τω παλατιω του βασιλεως της Βαβυλωνος.	18 Then too, they will take from your sons, who will go forth from you, whom you will conceive. And they will be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.”
19 Τοτε ειπεν ο Εζεκιας προς τον Ησαιαν, Καλος ο λογος του Κυριου, τον οποιον ελαλησας. Ειπεν ετι, Δεν θελει εισθαι ειρηνη και ασφαλεια εν ταις ημεραις μου;	19 Hezekiah said to Isaiah: “The word of the Lord, which you have spoken, is good. Let peace and truth be in my days.”
20 Αι δε λοιπαι πραξεις του Εζεκιου και παντα τα κατορθωματα αυτου, και τινι τροπω εκαμε το υδροστασιον και το υδραγωγειον και εφερε το υδωρ εις την πολιν, δεν ειναι γεγραμμενα εν τω βιβλιω των χρονικων των βασιλεων του Ιουδα;	20 Now the rest of the words of Hezekiah, and all his strength, and how he made a pool, and an aqueduct, and how he brought waters into the city, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?
21 Και εκοιμηθη ο Εζεκιας μετα των πατερων αυτου? εβασιλευσε δε αντ' αυτου Μανασσης ο υιος αυτου.	21 And Hezekiah slept with his fathers. And Manasseh, his son, reigned in his place.
