2 Kings 12

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 In the seventh year of Jehu, Jehoash reigned. And he reigned for forty years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Zebiah from Beersheba.	1 Εν τω εβδομω ετει του Ιηου εβασιλευσεν ο Ιωας? και εβασιλευσε τεσσαρακοντα ετη εν Ιερουσαλημ? το δε ονομα της μητρος αυτου ητο Σιβια εκ Βηρ-σαβεε.
2 And Jehoash did what was right in the sight of the Lord, during all the days that Jehoiada, the priest, taught him.	2 Και επραττεν ο Ιωας το ευθες ενωπιον του Κυριου, κατα πασας τας ημερας αυτου καθ' ας ωδηγει αυτον Ιωδαε ο ιερευς.
3 Yet still he did not take away the high places. For the people were still immolating, and burning incense, in the high places.	3 Οι υψηλοι ομως τοποι δεν αφηρεθησαν? ο λαος εθυσιαζεν ετι και εθυμιαζεν εν τοις υψηλοις τοποις.
4 And Jehoash said to the priests: “All of the money for the holy things, which has been brought into the temple of the Lord from those who pass by, which is offered for the price of a soul, and which they bring into the temple of the Lord willingly, from their own free heart:	4 Και ειπεν ο Ιωας προς τους ιερεις, Παν το αργυριον των αφιερωματων το εισφερομενον εις τον οικον του Κυριου, το αργυριον εκαστου διερχομενου εις τους απαριθμουμενους, το αργυριον εκαστου κατα την εκτιμησιν αυτου, παν το αργυριον το οποιον ηθελεν ελθει εις την καρδιαν τινος να προσφερη εις τον οικον του Κυριου,
5 let the priests, according to their ranks, take and use it in order to repair the surfaces of the house, wherever they see anything in need of repair.”	5 οι ιερεις ας λαμβανωσιν αυτο εις εαυτους, εκαστος παρα του γνωστου αυτου? και ας επισκευαζωσι τα χαλασματα του οικου, πανταχου οπου ευρεθη χαλασμα.
6 And yet, even until the twenty-third year of king Jehoash, the priests did not repair the surfaces of the temple.	6 Πλην εν τω εικοστω τριτω ετει του βασιλεως Ιωας οι ιερεις δεν ειχον επισκευασει τα χαλασματα του οικου.
7 And king Jehoash called the high priest, Jehoiada, and the priests, saying to them: “Why have you not repaired the surfaces of the temple? Therefore, you may no longer accept money according to your ranks. Instead, return it in order that the temple may be repaired.”	7 Οθεν εκαλεσεν ο βασιλευς Ιωας τον Ιωδαε τον ιερεα και τους ιερεις και ειπε προς αυτους, Δια τι δεν επεσκευασατε τα χαλασματα του οικου; τωρα λοιπον μη λαμβανετε πλεον αργυριον παρα των γνωστων σας, αλλα διδετε αυτο δια τα χαλασματα του οικου.
8 And so the priests were prohibited from accepting any more money from the people to repair the surfaces of the house.	8 Και εστερξαν οι ιερεις να μη λαμβανωσι πλεον αργυριον παρα του λαου και να μη επισκευαζωσι τα χαλασματα του οικου.
9 And the high priest, Jehoiada, took a certain chest, and he opened a hole in the top, and he placed it beside the altar, to the right of those who were entering the house of the Lord. And the priests who kept the doors put all the money in it which was being brought into the temple of the Lord.	9 Και ελαβεν Ιωδαε ο ιερευς εν κιβωτιον και ηνοιξε τρυπαν επι του σκεπασματος αυτου, και εθεσεν αυτο πλησιον του θυσιαστηριου, εις τα δεξια της εισοδου του οικου του Κυριου? και οι ιερεις, οι φυλαττοντες την θυραν, εβαλλον εις αυτο παν το αργυριον, το εισφερομενον εις τον οικον του Κυριου.
10 And when they saw that there was a great amount of money in the chest, the scribe of the king and the high priest went up and poured it out. And they counted the money that was found in the house of the Lord.	10 Και οτε εβλεπον οτι ητο πολυ το αργυριον το εν τω κιβωτιω, ο γραμματευς του βασιλεως και ο ιερευς ο μεγας ανεβαινον και εδενον εις σακκια και εμετρουν το αργυριον το ευρεθεν εν τω οικω του Κυριου.
11 And they gave it out, by number and measure, to the hands of those who were over the masons of the house of the Lord. And they weighed it out to the carpenters and masons, to those who were working in the house of the Lord	11 Και εδιδον το αργυριον το μετρηθεν εις τας χειρας εκεινων οιτινες εκαμνον το εργον, οιτινες ειχον την επιστασιαν του οικου του Κυριου? οι δε εξωδευον αυτο εις τους ξυλουργους και οικοδομους, τους δουλευοντας εν τω οικω του Κυριου,
12 and restoring the surfaces, and to those who were cutting stones, and buying timber and stones to be cut, so that the repairs to the house of the Lord might be finished: for all that was needed toward the expenses in order to strengthen the house.	12 και εις τους κτιστας και εις τους λιθοτομους, δια να αγοραζωσι ξυλα και λιθους λατομητους, ωστε να επισκευαζωσι τα χαλασματα του οικου του Κυριου, και δια παντα οσα εχρειαζοντο δια την επισκευην του οικου.
13 Yet truly, from the same money, they did not make for the temple of the Lord water pitchers, or small hooks, or censers, or trumpets, or any vessel of gold or silver, from the money that was brought into the temple of the Lord.	13 Πλην εκ του αργυριου του εισφερομενου εις τον οικον του Κυριου δεν κατεσκευασθησαν δια τον οικον του Κυριου φιαλαι αργυραι, λυχνοψαλιδα, λεκαναι, σαλπιγγες, ουδεν σκευος χρυσουν η σκευος αργυρουν?
14 For it was given to those who were doing the work, so that the temple of the Lord might be repaired.	14 αλλ' εδιδον αυτο εις τους εργατας, και επεσκευαζον με αυτο τον οικον του Κυριου.
15 And they did not ration the money to the men who received it in order to distribute it to the artisans. Instead, they bestowed it with faith.	15 Και δεν εζητουν λογαριασμον παρα των ανθρωπων, εις τους οποιους εδιδον το αργυριον δια να μοιρασθη εις τους εργατας? διοτι ειργαζοντο εν πιστει.
16 Yet truly, the money for offenses and the money for sins, they did not bring into the temple of the Lord, since it was for the priests.	16 Το αργυριον το περι ανομιας και το αργυριον το περι αμαρτιας δεν εφεροντο εις τον οικον του Κυριου? ταυτα ησαν των ιερεων.
17 Then Hazael, the king of Syria, ascended and fought against Gath, and he captured it. And he directed his face, so that he might ascend against Jerusalem.	17 Τοτε ανεβη Αζαηλ ο βασιλευς της Συριας και επολεμησεν εναντιον της Γαθ, και εκυριευσεν αυτην? επειτα εστησεν ο Αζαηλ το προσωπον αυτου δια να αναβη εναντιον της Ιερουσαλημ.
18 For this reason, Jehoash, the king of Judah, took all the sanctified things, which Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, the kings of Judah, had consecrated and which he himself had offered, and all the silver that could be found in the treasuries of the temple of the Lord and in the palace of the king, and he sent it to Hazael, the king of Syria. And so he withdrew from Jerusalem.	18 Και ελαβεν ο Ιωας βασιλευς του Ιουδα παντα τα αφιερωματα οσα Ιωσαφατ και Ιωραμ και Οχοζιας, οι πατερες αυτου, βασιλεις του Ιουδα, ειχον αφιερωσει, και τα ιδια αυτου αφιερωματα και παν το χρυσιον το ευρεθεν εν τοις θησαυροις του οικου του Κυριου και του οικου του βασιλεως, και εστειλεν αυτα προς τον Αζαηλ βασιλεα της Συριας? και ανεχωρησεν απο της Ιερουσαλημ.
19 Now the rest of the words of Jehoash, and all that he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?	19 Αι δε λοιπαι πραξεις του Ιωας και παντα οσα επραξε, δεν ειναι γεγραμμενα εν τω βιβλιω των χρονικων των βασιλεων του Ιουδα;
20 Then his servants rose up and conspired among themselves. And they struck down Jehoash, at the house of Millo, on the descent of Silla.	20 Και σηκωθεντες οι δουλοι αυτου, εκαμον συνωμοσιαν και επαταξαν τον Ιωας εν τω οικω Μιλλω, εν τη καταβασει Σιλλα.
21 For Jozacar, the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad, the son of Shomer, his servants, struck him, and he died. And they buried him with his fathers in the city of David. And Amaziah, his son, reigned in his place.	21 Διοτι Ιωζαχαρ ο υιος του Σιμεαθ και Ιωζαβαδ ο υιος του Σωμηρ, οι δουλοι αυτου, επαταξαν αυτον, και απεθανε? και εθαψαν αυτον μετα των πατερων αυτου εν τη πολει Δαβιδ? εβασιλευσε δε αντ' αυτου Αμασιας ο υιος αυτου.
