1
It came to pass after this also, that the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them other beside the Ammonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle.
Καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα ἦλθον οἱ υἱοὶ Μωὰβ, καὶ υἱοὶ Ἀμμὼν, καὶ μετʼ αὐτῶν ἐκ τῶν Μιναίων πρὸς Ἰωσαφὰτ εἰς πόλεμον.
2
Then there came some that told Jehoshaphat, saying, There cometh a great multitude against thee from beyond the sea on this side Syria; and, behold, they be in Hazazon–tamar, which is En–gedi.
Καὶ ἦλθον καὶ ὑπέδειξαν τῷ Ἰωσαφὰτ, λέγοντες, ἥκει ἐπὶ σὲ πλῆθος πολὺ ἐκ πέραν τῆς θαλάσσης ἀπὸ Συρίας, καὶ ἰδού εἰσιν ἐν Ἀσασὰν Θαμὰρ, αὕτη ἐστὶν Ἐγγαδί.
3
And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the Lord, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.
Καὶ ἐφοβήθη, καὶ ἔδωκε Ἰωσαφὰτ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἐκζητῆσαι τὸν Κύριον, καὶ ἐκήρυξε νηστείαν ἐν παντὶ Ἰούδα.
4
And Judah gathered themselves together, to ask help of the Lord: even out of all the cities of Judah they came to seek the Lord.
Καὶ συνήχθη Ἰούδα ἐκζητῆσαι τὸν Κύριον, καὶ ἀπὸ πασῶν τῶν πόλεων Ἰούδα ἦλθον ζητῆσαι τὸν Κύριον.
5
And Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the Lord, before the new court,
Καὶ ἀνέστη Ἰωσαφὰτ ἐν ἐκκλησίᾳ Ἰούδα ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου κατὰ πρόσωπον τῆς αὐλῆς τῆς καινῆς.
6
And said, O Lord God of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven? and rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in thine hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand thee?
Καὶ εἶπε, Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς τῶν πατέρων μου, οὐχὶ σὺ εἶ Θεὸς ἐν οὐρανῷ ἄνω, καὶ σὺ κυριεύεις πασῶν τῶν βασιλειῶν τῶν ἐθνῶν; καὶ ἐν τῇ χειρί σου ἰσχὺς δυναστείας, καὶ οὐκ ἔστι πρὸς σὲ ἀντιστῆναι;
7
Art not thou our God, who didst drive out the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and gavest it to the seed of Abraham thy friend for ever?
Οὐχὶ σὺ ὁ Κύριος ὁ ἐξολοθρεύσας τοὺς κατοικοῦντας τὴν γῆν ταύτην ἀπὸ προσώπου τοῦ λαοῦ σου Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἔδωκας αὐτὴν σπέρματι Ἁβραὰμ τῷ ἠγαπημένῳ σου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα;
8
And they dwelt therein, and have built thee a sanctuary therein for thy name, saying,
Καὶ κατῴκησαν ἐν αὐτῇ, καὶ ᾠκοδόμησαν ἐν αὐτῇ ἁγίασμα τῷ ὀνόματί σου, λέγοντες,
9
If, when evil cometh upon us, as the sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we stand before this house, and in thy presence, (for thy name is in this house,) and cry unto thee in our affliction, then thou wilt hear and help.
ἐὰν ἐπέλθῃ ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς κακὰ, ῥομφαία, κρίσις, θάνατος, λιμὸς, στησόμεθα ἐναντίον τοῦ οἴκου τούτου καὶ ἐναντίον σου, ὅτι τὸ ὄνομά σου ἐπὶ τῷ οἴκῳ τούτῳ, καὶ βοησόμεθα πρὸς σὲ ἀπὸ τῆς θλίψεως, καὶ ἀκούσῃ καὶ σώσεις.
10
And now, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab and mount Seir, whom thou wouldest not let Israel invade, when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned from them, and destroyed them not;
Καὶ νῦν ἰδοὺ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἀμμὼν, καὶ Μωὰβ, καὶ ὄρος Σηείρ· εἰς οὓς οὐκ ἔδωκας τῷ Ἰσραὴλ διελθεῖν διʼ αὐτῶν, ἐξελθόντων αὐτῶν ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου, ὅτι ἐξέκλιναν ἀπʼ αὐτῶν, καὶ οὐκ ἐξωλόθρευσαν αὐτούς·
11
Behold, I say, how they reward us, to come to cast us out of thy possession, which thou hast given us to inherit.
Καὶ νῦν ἰσοὺ αὐτοὶ ἐπιχειροῦσιν ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς ἐξελθεῖν ἐκβαλεῖν ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ τῆς κληρονομίας ἡμῶν, ἧς ἔδωκας ἡμῖν.
12
O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee.
Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, οὐ κρινεῖς ἐν αὐτοῖς; ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἡμῖν ἰσχὺς τοῦ ἀντιστῆναι πρὸς τὸ πλῆθος τὸ πολὺ τοῦτο τὸ ἐλθὸν ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς, καὶ οὐκ οἴδαμεν τί ποιήσωμεν αὐτοῖς, ἀλλʼ ἢ ἐπὶ σοὶ οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ ἡμῶν.
13
And all Judah stood before the Lord, with their little ones, their wives, and their children.
Καὶ πᾶς Ἰούδα ἑστηκὼς ἔναντι Κυρίου, καὶ τὰ παιδία αὐτῶν, καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες αὐτῶν.
14
Then upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, came the Spirit of the Lord in the midst of the congregation;
Καὶ τῷ Ὀζιὴλ τῷ τοῦ Ζαχαρίου, τῶν υἱῶν Βαναίου, τῶν υἱῶν Ἐλεϊὴλ τοῦ Ματθανίου τοῦ Λευίτου ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Ἀσὰφ, ἐγένετο ἐπʼ αὐτὸν πνεῦμα Κυρίου ἐν τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ.
15
And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the Lord unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s.
Καὶ εἶπεν, ἀκούσατε πᾶς Ἰούδα καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰωσαφάτ· τάδε λέγει Κύριος ὑμῖν αὐτοῖς, μὴ φοβεῖσθε, μηδὲ πτοηθῆτε ἀπὸ προσώπου τοῦ ὄχλου τοῦ πολλοῦ τούτου, ὅτι οὐχ ὑμῖν ἐστιν ἡ παράταξις, ἀλλʼ ἢ τῷ Θεῷ.
16
To morrow go ye down against them: behold, they come up by the cliff of Ziz; and ye shall find them at the end of the brook, before the wilderness of Jeruel.
Αὔριον κατάβητε ἐπʼ αὐτούς· ἰδοὺ ἀναβαίνουσι κατὰ τὴν ἀνάβασιν Ἀσσεῖς, καὶ εὑρήσετε αὐτοὺς ἐπʼ ἄκρου ποταμοῦ τῆς ἐρήμου Ἰεριήλ.
17
Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the Lord will be with you.
Οὐχ ὑμῖν ἐστι πολεμῆσαι· ταῦτα σύνετε, καὶ ἴδετε τὴν σωτηρίαν Κυρίου μεθʼ ὑμῶν Ἰούδα καὶ Ἱερουσαλήμ· μὴ φοβηθῆτε, μηδὲ πτοηθῆτε αὔριον ἐξελθεῖν εἰς ἀπάντησιν αὐτοῖς, καὶ Κύριος μεθʼ ὑμῶν.
18
And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the Lord, worshipping the Lord.
Καὶ κύψας Ἰωσαφὰτ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ καὶ πᾶς Ἰούδα καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες Ἱερουσαλὴμ, ἔπεσον ἔναντι Κυρίου προσκυνῆσαι Κυρίῳ.
19
And the Levites, of the children of the Kohathites, and of the children of the Korhites, stood up to praise the Lord God of Israel with a loud voice on high.
Καὶ ἀνέστησαν οἱ Λευῖται ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Καὰθ, καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Κορὲ, αἰνεῖν Κυρίῳ Θεῷ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ εἰς ὕψος.
20
And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the Lord your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.
Καὶ ὤρθρισαν πρωῒ, καὶ ἐξῆλθον εἰς τὴν ἔρημον Θεκωέ· καὶ ἐν τῷ ἐξελθεῖν αὐτοὺς, ἔστη Ἰωσαφὰτ καὶ ἐβόησε, καὶ εἶπεν, ἀκούσατέ μου Ἰούδα καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ· ἐμπιστεύσατε ἐν Κυρίῳ Θεῷ ἡμῶν, καὶ ἐμπιστευθήσεσθε· ἐμπιστεύσατε ἐν προφήτῃ αὐτοῦ, καὶ εὐοδωθήσεσθε.
21
And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the Lord, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the Lord; for his mercy endureth for ever.
Καὶ ἐβουλεύσατο μετὰ τοῦ λαοῦ, καὶ ἔστησε ψαλτῳδοὺς καὶ αἰνοῦντας, ἐξομολογεῖσθαι καὶ αἰνεῖν τὰ ἅγια ἐν τῷ ἐξελθεῖν ἔμπροσθεν τῆς δυνάμεως, καὶ ἔλεγον, ἐξομολογεῖσθε τῷ Κυρίῳ, ὅτι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ.
22
And when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.
Καὶ ἐν τῷ ἄρξασθαι αὐτοὺς τῆς αἰνέσεως καὶ τῆς ἐξομολογήσεως, ἔδωκε Κύριος πολεμεῖν τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἀμμὼν ἐπὶ Μωὰβ καὶ ὄρος Σηεὶρ τοὺς ἐξελθόντας ἐπὶ Ἰούδαν, καὶ ἐτροπώθησαν.
23
For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another.
Καὶ ἀνέστησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἀμμὼν καὶ Μωὰβ ἐπὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ὄρος Σηεὶρ, ἐξολοθρεῦσαι καὶ ἐκτρίψαι αὐτούς· καὶ ὡς συνετέλεσαν τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Σηεὶρ, ἀνέστησαν εἰς ἀλλήλους τοῦ ἐξολοθρευθῆναι.
24
And when Judah came toward the watch tower in the wilderness, they looked unto the multitude, and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none escaped.
Καὶ Ἰούδας ἦλθεν ἐπὶ τὴν σκοπιὰν τῆς ἐρήμου, καὶ ἐπέβλεψε, καὶ εἶδε τὸ πλῆθος· καὶ ἰδοὺ πάντες νεκροὶ πεπτωκότες ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, οὐκ ἦν σωζόμενος.
25
And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away the spoil of them, they found among them in abundance both riches with the dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in gathering of the spoil, it was so much.
Καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ἰωσαφὰτ καὶ ὁ λαὸς αὐτοῦ σκυλεῦσαι τὰ σκῦλα αὐτῶν, καὶ εὗρον κτήνη πολλὰ, καὶ ἀποσκευὴν, καὶ σκῦλα, καὶ σκεύη ἐπιθυμητὰ, καὶ ἐσκύλευσαν ἐν αὐτοῖς· καὶ ἐγένοντο ἡμέραι τρεῖς σκυλευόντων αὐτῶν τὰ σκῦλα, ὅτι πολλὰ ἦν.
26
And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Berachah; for there they blessed the Lord: therefore the name of the same place was called, The valley of Berachah, unto this day.
Καὶ ἐγένετο τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τετάρτῃ ἐπισυνήχθησαν εἰς τὸν αὐλῶνα τῆς εὐλογίας, ἐκεῖ γὰρ ηὐλόγησαν τὸν Κύριον· διὰ τοῦτο ἐκάλεσαν τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου Κοιλὰς Εὐλογίας, ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης.
27
Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat in the forefront of them, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for the Lord had made them to rejoice over their enemies.
Καὶ ἐπέστρεψε πᾶς ἀνὴρ Ἰούδα εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ Ἰωσαφὰτ ἡγούμενος αὐτῶν ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ μεγάλῃ, ὅτι εὔφραινεν αὐτοὺς Κύριος ἀπὸ τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτῶν.
28
And they came to Jerusalem with psalteries and harps and trumpets unto the house of the Lord.
Καὶ εἰσῆλθον εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐν νάβλαις καὶ κινύραις καὶ ἐν σάλπιγξιν εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου.
29
And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of those countries, when they had heard that the Lord fought against the enemies of Israel.
Καὶ ἐγένετο ἔκστασις Κυρίου ἐπὶ πάσας τὰς βασιλείας τῆς γῆς, ἐν τῷ ἀκοῦσαι αὐτοὺς ὅτι Κύριος ἐπολέμησε πρὸς τοὺς ὑπεναντίους Ἰσραήλ.
30
So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet: for his God gave him rest round about.
Καὶ εἰρήνευσεν ἡ βασιλεία Ἰωσαφὰτ, καὶ κατέπαυσεν αὐτῷ ὁ Θεὸς αὐτοῦ κυκλόθεν.
31
And Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah: he was thirty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
Καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ἰωσαφὰτ ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰούδαν, ὢν ἐτῶν τριακονταπέντε ἐν τῷ βασιλεῦσαι αὐτὸν, καὶ εἴκοσι καὶ πέντε ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ ὄνομα τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ Ἀζουβὰ, θυγάτηρ Σαλί.
32
And he walked in the way of Asa his father, and departed not from it, doing that which was right in the sight of the Lord.
Καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ Ἀσὰ, καὶ οὐκ ἐξέκλινε τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὸ εὐθὲς ἐνώπιον Κυρίου.
33
Howbeit the high places were not taken away: for as yet the people had not prepared their hearts unto the God of their fathers.
Ἀλλὰ καὶ τὰ ὑψηλὰ ἔτι ὑπῆρχε, καὶ ἔτι ὁ λαὸς οὐ κατεύθυνε τὴν καρδίαν αὐτῶν πρὸς Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν.
34
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of Jehu the son of Hanani, who is mentioned in the book of the kings of Israel.
Καὶ οἱ λοιποὶ λόγοι Ἰωσαφὰτ οἱ πρῶτοι καὶ οἱ ἔσχατοι, ἰδοὺ γεγραμμένοι ἐν λόγοις Ἰηοὺ τοῦ Ἀνανὶ, ὃς κατέγραψε βιβλίον βασιλέων Ἰσραήλ.
35
And after this did Jehoshaphat king of Judah join himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, who did very wickedly:
Καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα ἐκοινώνησεν Ἰωσαφὰτ βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα πρὸς Ὀχοζίαν βασιλέα Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ οὗτος ἠνόμησεν·
36
And he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish: and they made the ships in Ezion–geber.
ἐν τῷ ποιῆσαι καὶ πορευθῆναι πρὸς αὐτὸν, τοῦ ποιῆσαι πλοῖα τοῦ πορευθῆναι εἰς Θαρσεῖς· καὶ ἐποίησε πλοῖα ἐν Γασίων Γαβέρ.
37
Then Eliezer the son of Dodavah of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because thou hast joined thyself with Ahaziah, the Lord hath broken thy works. And the ships were broken, that they were not able to go to Tarshish.
Καὶ προεφήτευσεν Ἐλιέζερ ὁ τοῦ Δωδία ἀπὸ Μαρισὴς ἐπὶ Ἰωσαφὰτ, λέγων, ὡς ἐφιλίασας τῷ Ὀχοζίᾳ, ἔθραυσε Κύριος τὸ ἔργον σου, καὶ συνετρίβη τὰ πλοῖά σου· καὶ οὐκ ἐδυνάσθη πορευθῆναι εἰς Θαρσεῖς.
