1
Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve years.
Καὶ Ἰωρὰμ υἱὸς Ἀχαὰμ ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ἰσραὴλ ἐν ἔτει ὀκτωκαιδεκάτῳ Ἰωσαφὰτ βασιλέως Ἰούδα, καὶ ἐβασίλευσε δώδεκα ἔτη.
2
And he wrought evil in the sight of the Lord; but not like his father, and like his mother: for he put away the image of Baal that his father had made.
Καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Κυρίου· πλὴν οὐχ ὡς ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐχ ὡς ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ· καὶ μετέστησε τὰς στήλας τοῦ Βάαλ, ἃς ἐποίησεν ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ.
3
Nevertheless he cleaved unto the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which made Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom.
Πλὴν ἐν τῇ ἁμαρτίᾳ Ἱεροβοὰμ υἱοῦ Ναβὰτ ὃς ἐξήμαρτε τὸν Ἰσραὴλ, ἐκολλήθη, οὐκ ἀπέστη ἀπʼ αὐτῆς.
4
And Mesha king of Moab was a sheepmaster, and rendered unto the king of Israel an hundred thousand lambs, and an hundred thousand rams, with the wool.
Καὶ Μωσὰ βασιλεὺς Μωὰβ ἦν νωκὴδ, καὶ ἐπέστρεφε τῷ βασιλεῖ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν τῇ ἐπαναστάσει ἑκατὸν χιλιάδας ἀρνῶν, καὶ ἑκατὸν χιλιάδας κριῶν ἐπὶ πόκων.
5
But it came to pass, when Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
Καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ τὸ ἀποθανεῖν Ἀχαὰβ, καὶ ἠθέτησε βασιλεὺς Μωὰβ ἐν βασιλεῖ Ἰσραήλ.
6
And king Jehoram went out of Samaria the same time, and numbered all Israel.
Καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰωρὰμ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἐκ Σαμαρείας, καὶ ἐπεσκέψατο τὸν Ἰσραήλ.
7
And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, The king of Moab hath rebelled against me: wilt thou go with me against Moab to battle? And he said, I will go up: I am as thou art, my people as thy people, and my horses as thy horses.
Καὶ ἐπορεύθη καὶ ἐξαπέστειλε πρὸς Ἰωσαφὰτ βασιλέα Ἰούδα, λέγων, βασιλεὺς Μωὰβ ἠθέτησεν ἐν ἐμοί· εἰ πορεύσῃ μετʼ ἐμοῦ εἰς Μωὰβ εἰς πόλεμον; καὶ εἶπεν, ἀναβήσομαι· ὅμοιός μοι, ὅμοιός σοι· ὡς ὁ λαός μου, ὁ λαός σου· ὡς οἱ ἵπποι μου, οἱ ἵπποι σου.
8
And he said, Which way shall we go up? And he answered, The way through the wilderness of Edom.
καὶ εἶπε, ποίᾳ ὁδῷ ἀναβῶ; καὶ εἶπεν, ὁδὸν ἔρημον Ἐδώμ.
9
So the king of Israel went, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom: and they fetched a compass of seven days’ journey: and there was no water for the host, and for the cattle that followed them.
Καὶ ἐπορεύθη ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἐδὼμ, καὶ ἐκύκλωσαν ὁδὸν ἑπτὰ ἡμερῶν· καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὕδωρ τῇ παρεμβολῇ καὶ τοῖς κτήνεσι τοῖς ἐν τοῖς ποσὶν αὐτῶν.
10
And the king of Israel said, Alas! that the Lord hath called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab!
Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ, ὢ, ὅτι κέκληκε Κύριος τοὺς τρεῖς βασιλεῖς παρερχομένους δοῦναι αὐτοὺς ἐν χειρὶ Μωάβ.
11
But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the Lord, that we may enquire of the Lord by him? And one of the king of Israel’s servants answered and said, Here is Elisha the son of Shaphat, which poured water on the hands of Elijah.
Καὶ εἶπεν Ἰωσαφὰτ, οὐκ ἔστιν ὧδε προφήτης τοῦ Κυρίου, καὶ ἐπιζητήσωμεν τὸν Κύριον παρʼ αὐτοῦ; καὶ ἀπεκρίθη εἷς τῶν παίδων τοῦ βασιλέως Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ εἶπεν, ὧδε Ἑλισαιὲ υἱὸς Σαφὰτ, ὃς ἐπέχεεν ὕδωρ ἐπὶ χεῖρας Ἠλιού.
12
And Jehoshaphat said, The word of the Lord is with him. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.
Καὶ εἶπεν Ἰωσαφὰτ, ἔστιν αὐτῷ ῥῆμα Κυρίου· καὶ κατέβη πρὸς αὐτὸν βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ Ἰωσαφὰτ βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα, καὶ βασιλεὺς Ἐδώμ.
13
And Elisha said unto the king of Israel, What have I to do with thee? get thee to the prophets of thy father, and to the prophets of thy mother. And the king of Israel said unto him, Nay: for the Lord hath called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab.
Καὶ εἶπεν Ἑλισαιὲ πρὸς βασιλέα Ἰσραὴλ, τί ἐμοὶ καὶ σοί; δεῦρο πρὸς τοὺς προφήτας τοῦ πατρός σου καὶ τοὺς προφήτας τῆς μητπός σου· καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰσραήλ, μή ὅτι κέκληκε Κύριος τοὺς τρεῖς βασιλεῖς τοῦ παραδοῦναι αὐτοὺς εἰς χεῖρας Μωάβ;
14
And Elisha said, As the Lord of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward thee, nor see thee.
Καὶ εἶπεν Ἑλισαιὲ, ζῇ Κύριος τῶν δυνάμεων ᾧ παρέστην ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ, ὅτι εἰ μὴ πρόσωπον Ἰωσαφὰτ βασιλέως Ἰούδα ἐγὼ λαμβάνω, εἰ ἐπέβλεψα πρὸς σὲ, καὶ εἶδόν σε.
15
But now bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of the Lord came upon him.
Καὶ νῦν λάβε μοι ψάλλοντα· καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἔψαλλεν ὁ ψάλλων, καὶ ἐγένετο ἐπʼ αὐτὸν χεὶρ Κυρίου,
16
And he said, Thus saith the Lord, Make this valley full of ditches.
καὶ εἶπε, τάδε λέγει Κύριος, ποιήσατε τὸν χειμάῤῥουν τοῦτον βοθύνους βοθύνους,
17
For thus saith the Lord, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, that ye may drink, both ye, and your cattle, and your beasts.
ὅτι τάδε λέγει Κύριος, οὐκ ὄψεσθε πνεῦμα, καὶ οὐκ ὄψεσθε ὑετὸν, καὶ ὁ χειμάῤῥους οὗτος πλησθήσεται ὕδατος, καὶ πίεσθε ὑμεῖς καὶ αἱ κτήσεις ὑμῶν καὶ τὰ κτήνη ὑμῶν.
18
And this is but a light thing in the sight of the Lord: he will deliver the Moabites also into your hand.
Καὶ κούφη αὑτὴ ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Κυρίου· καὶ παραδώσω τὴν Μωὰβ ἐν χειρὶ ὑμῶν.
19
And ye shall smite every fenced city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all wells of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones.
Καὶ πατάξετε πᾶσαν πόλιν ὀχυρὰν, καὶ πᾶν ξύλον ἀγαθὸν καταβαλεῖτε, καὶ πάσας πηγὰς ὕδατος ἐμφράξεσθε, καὶ πᾶσαν μερίδα ἀγαθὴν ἀχρειώσετε ἐν λίθοις.
20
And it came to pass in the morning, when the meat offering was offered, that, behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.
Καὶ ἐγένετο πρωῒ ἀναβαινούσης τῆς θυσίας, καὶ ἰδοὺ ὕδατα ἤρχοντο ἐξ ὁδοῦ Ἐδώμ, καὶ ἐπλήσθη ἡ γῆ ὕδατος.
21
And when all the Moabites heard that the kings were come up to fight against them, they gathered all that were able to put on armour, and upward, and stood in the border.
Καὶ πᾶσα Μωὰβ ἤκουσαν ὅτι ἀνέβησαν οἱ τρεῖς βασιλεῖς πολεμεῖν αὐτούς· καὶ ἀνεβόησαν ἐκ παντὸς περιεζωσμένοι ζώνην· καὶ εἶπον, ὤ· καὶ ἔστησαν ἐπὶ τοῦ ὁρίου.
22
And they rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone upon the water, and the Moabites saw the water on the other side as red as blood:
Καὶ ὤρθρισαν τοπρωῒ, καὶ ὁ ἥλιος ἀνέτειλεν ἐπὶ τὰ ὕδατα· καὶ εἶδε Μωὰβ ἐξεναντίας τὰ ὕδατα πυῤῥὰ ὡς αἷμα,
23
And they said, This is blood: the kings are surely slain, and they have smitten one another: now therefore, Moab, to the spoil.
καὶ εἶπαν, αἷμα τοῦτο τῆς ῥομφαίας· καὶ ἐμαχέσαντο οἱ βασιλεῖς, καὶ ἐπάταξεν ἀνὴρ τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ· καὶ νῦν ἐπὶ τὰ σκῦλα Μωάβ.
24
And when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and smote the Moabites, so that they fled before them: but they went forward smiting the Moabites, even in their country.
Καὶ εἰσῆλθον εἰς τὴν παρεμβολὴν Ἰσραήλ· καὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἀνέστησαν καὶ ἐπάταξαν τὴν Μωὰβ, καὶ ἔφυγον ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν· καὶ εἰσῆλθον εἰσπορευόμενοι καὶ τύπτοντες τὴν Μωάβ,
25
And they beat down the cities, and on every good piece of land cast every man his stone, and filled it; and they stopped all the wells of water, and felled all the good trees: only in Kir–haraseth left they the stones thereof; howbeit the slingers went about it, and smote it.
καὶ τὰς πόλεις καθεῖλον, καὶ πᾶσαν μερίδα ἀγαθὴν ἔῤῥιψαν ἀνὴρ τὸν λίθον καὶ ἐνέπλησαν αὐτὴν, καὶ πᾶσαν πηγὴν ἐνέφραξαν, καὶ πᾶν ξύλον ἀγαθὸν κατέβαλον ἕως τοῦ καταλιπεῖν τοὺς λίθους τοῦ τοίχου καθῃρημένους· καὶ ἐκύκλευσαν οἱ σφενδονῆται, καὶ ἐπάταξαν αὐτήν.
26
And when the king of Moab saw that the battle was too sore for him, he took with him seven hundred men that drew swords, to break through even unto the king of Edom: but they could not.
Καὶ εἶδεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Μωὰβ ὅτι ἐκραταίωσεν ὑπὲρ αὐτὸν ὁ πόλεμος· καὶ ἔλαβε μεθʼ ἑαυτοῦ ἑπτακοσίους ἄνδρας ἐσπασμένους ῥομφαίαν διακόψαι πρὸς βασιλέα Ἐδὼμ, καὶ οὐκ ἠδυνήθησαν.
27
Then he took his eldest son that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt offering upon the wall. And there was great indignation against Israel: and they departed from him, and returned to their own land.
Καὶ ἔλαβε τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ τὸν πρωτότοκον ὃν ἐβασίλευσεν ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀνήνεγκεν αὐτὸν ὁλοκαύτωμα ἐπὶ τοῦ τείχους, καὶ ἐγένετο μετάμελος μέγας ἐπὶ Ἰσραήλ· καὶ ἀπῆραν ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν εἰς τὴν γῆν.
