2 Chronicles 14

DOUAI-RHEIMS	GREEK BIBLE
1 And Abia slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead: in his days the land was quiet ten years.	1 Και εκοιμηθη ο Αβια μετα των πατερων αυτου, και εθαψαν αυτον εν πολει Δαβιδ? εβασιλευσε δε αντ' αυτου Ασα ο υιος αυτου. Εν ταις ημεραις αυτου η γη ησυχασε δεκα ετη.
2 And Asa did that which was good and pleasing in the sight of his God, and he destroyed the altars of foreign worship, and the high places.	2 Και εκαμεν ο Ασα το καλον και το ευθες ενωπιον Κυριου του Θεου αυτου?
3 And broke the statues, and cut down the groves.	3 διοτι αφηρεσε τα θυσιαστηρια των αλλοτριων θεων και τους υψηλους τοπους, και κατεσυντριψε τα αγαλματα και κατεκοψε τα αλση?
4 And he commanded Juda to seek the Lord the God of their fathers, and to do the law, and all the commandments.	4 και ειπε προς τον Ιουδαν να εκζητωσι Κυριον τον Θεον των πατερων αυτων και να καμνωσι τον νομον και τας εντολας.
5 And he took away out of all the cities of Juda the altars, and temples, and reigned in peace.	5 Αφηρεσεν ετι απο πασων των πολεων του Ιουδα τους υψηλους τοπους και τα ειδωλα? και ησυχασε το βασιλειον ενωπιον αυτου.
6 He built also strong cities in Juda, for he was quiet, and there had no wars risen in his time, the Lord giving peace.	6 Και ωκοδομησε πολεις οχυρας εν τω Ιουδα? διοτι ησυχασεν η γη, και δεν ητο εις αυτον πολεμος εν εκεινοις τοις χρονοις, επειδη ο Κυριος εδωκεν εις αυτον αναπαυσιν.
7 And he said to Juda: Let us build these cities, and compass them with walls, and fortify them with towers, and gates, and bars, while all is quiet from wars, because we have sought the Lord the God of our fathers, and he hath given us peace round about. So they built, and there was no hinderance in building.	7 Δια τουτο ειπε προς τον Ιουδαν, Ας οικοδομησωμεν τας πολεις ταυτας, και ας καμωμεν περι αυτας τειχη και πυργους, πυλας και μοχλους, ενω ειμεθα κυριοι της γης, επειδη εξεζητησαμεν Κυριον τον Θεον ημων? εξεζητησαμεν αυτον, και εδωκεν εις ημας αναπαυσιν κυκλοθεν. Και ωκοδομησαν και ευωδωθησαν.
8 And Asa had in his army of men that bore shields and spears of Juda three hundred thousand, and of Benjamin that bore shields and drew bows, two hundred and eighty thousand, all these were most valiant men.	8 Ειχε δε ο Ασα στρατευμα εκ του Ιουδα τριακοσιας χιλιαδας, φεροντας θυρεους και λογχας? εκ δε του Βενιαμιν, διακοσιας ογδοηκοντα χιλιαδας, ασπιδοφορους και τοξοτας? παντες ουτοι ησαν δυνατοι εν ισχυι.
9 And Zara the Ethiopian came out against them with his army of ten hundred thousand men, and with three hundred chariots: and he came as far as Maresa.	9 Εξηλθε δε εναντιον αυτων Ζερα ο Αιθιοψ, με στρατευμα εκατον μυριαδων και με τριακοσιας αμαξας, και ηλθεν εως Μαρησα.
10 And Asa went out to meet him, and set his army in array for battle in the vale of Sephata, which is near Maresa:	10 Και εξηλθεν ο Ασα εναντιον αυτου, και παρεταχθησαν εις μαχην εν τη φαραγγι Σεφαθα, πλησιον της Μαρησα.
11 And he called upon the Lord God, and said: O Lord, there is no difference with thee, whether thou help with few, or with many: help us, O Lord our God: for with confidence in thee, and in thy name, we are come against this multitude. O Lord thou art our God, let not man prevail against thee.	11 Και εβοησεν ο Ασα προς Κυριον τον Θεον αυτου και ειπε, Κυριε, δεν ειναι ουδεν παρα σοι να βοηθης τους εχοντας πολλην η μηδεμιαν δυναμιν? βοηθησον ημας, Κυριε Θεε ημων? διοτι επι σε πεποιθαμεν, και εν τω ονοματι σου ερχομεθα εναντιον του πληθους τουτου. Κυριε, συ εισαι ο Θεος ημων? ας μη υπερισχυση ανθρωπος εναντιον σου.
12 And the Lord terrified the Ethiopians before Asa and Juda: and the Ethiopians fled.	12 Και επαταξεν ο Κυριος τους Αιθιοπας εμπροσθεν του Ασα και εμπροσθεν του Ιουδα? και οι Αιθιοπες εφυγον.
13 And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them to Gerara: and the Ethiopians fell even to utter destruction, for the Lord slew them, and his army fought against them, and they were destroyed. And they took abundance of spoils,	13 Ο δε Ασα και ο λαος ο μετ' αυτου κατεδιωξαν αυτους εως Γεραρων? και επεσον εκ των Αιθιοπων τοσουτοι, ωστε δεν ηδυναντο να αναλαβωσι πλεον? διοτι συνετριβησαν εμπροσθεν του Κυριου και εμπροσθεν του στρατευματος αυτου? και ελαβον λαφυρα πολλα σφοδρα.
14 And they took all the cities round about Gerara: for a great fear was come upon all men: and they pillaged the cities, and carried off much booty.	14 Και επαταξαν πασας τας πολεις κυκλω των Γεραρων? διοτι ο φοβος του Κυριου επεπεσεν επ' αυτους? και ελαφυραγωγησαν πασας τας πολεις? διοτι ησαν εν αυταις λαφυρα πολλα.
15 And they destroyed the sheepcotes, and took an infinite number of cattle, and of camels: and returned to Jerusalem.	15 Επαταξαν δε και τας επαυλεις των ποιμνιων και ελαβον προβατα πολλα και καμηλους, και επεστρεψαν εις Ιερουσαλημ.
