1
Then spake Elisha unto the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying, Arise, and go thou and thine household, and sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn: for the Lord hath called for a famine; and it shall also come upon the land seven years.
Καὶ Ἑλισαιὲ ἐλάλησε πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα, ἧς ἐζωπύρησε τὸν υἱὸν, λέγων, ἀνάστηθι καὶ δεῦρο σὺ καὶ ὁ οἶκός σου, καὶ παροίκει οὗ ἐὰν παροικήσῃς, ὅτι κέκληκε Κύριος λιμὸν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, καί γε ἦλθεν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἑπτὰ ἔτη.
2
And the woman arose, and did after the saying of the man of God: and she went with her household, and sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years.
Καὶ ἀνέστη ἡ γυνὴ, καὶ ἐποίησε κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα Ἑλισαιὲ καὶ αὐτὴ καὶ ὁ οἶκος αὐτῆς, καὶ παρῴκει ἐν γῇ ἀλλοφύλων ἑπτὰ ἔτη.
3
And it came to pass at the seven years’ end, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines: and she went forth to cry unto the king for her house and for her land.
Καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ τὸ τέλος τῶν ἑπτὰ ἐτῶν, καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν ἡ γυνὴ ἐκ γῆς ἀλλοφύλων εἰς τὴν πόλιν, καὶ ἦλθε βοῆσαι πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα περὶ τοῦ οἴκου ἑαυτῆς καὶ περὶ τῶν ἀγρῶν αὐτῆς.
4
And the king talked with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, Tell me, I pray thee, all the great things that Elisha hath done.
Καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐλάλει πρὸς Γιεζὶ τὸ παιδάριον Ἑλισαιὲ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τοῦ Θεοῦ, λέγων, διήγησαι δὴ ἐμοὶ πάντα τὰ μεγάλα ἃ ἐποίησεν Ἑλισαιέ.
5
And it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had restored a dead body to life, that, behold, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried to the king for her house and for her land. And Gehazi said, My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life.
Καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτοῦ ἐξηγουμένου τῷ βασιλεῖ, ὡς ἑζωπύρησεν υἱὸν τεθνηκότα, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἡ γυνὴ ἧς ἐζωπύρησε τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς Ἑλισαιὲ, βοῶσα πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα περὶ τοῦ οἴκου ἑαυτῆς καὶ περὶ τῶν ἀγρῶν ἑαυτῆς· καὶ εἶπε Γιεζὶ, Κύριε βασιλεῦ, αὕτη ἡ γυνὴ, καὶ οὗτος ὁ υἱὸς αὐτῆς, ὃν ἐζωπύρησεν Ἑλισαιέ.
6
And when the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed unto her a certain officer, saying, Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land, even until now.
Καὶ ἐπηρώτησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὴν γυναῖκα· καὶ διηγήσατο αὐτῷ· καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῇ ὁ βασιλεὺς εὐνοῦχον ἕνα, λέγων, ἐπίστρεψον πάντα τὰ αὐτῆς, καὶ πάντα τὰ γεννήματα τοῦ ἀγροῦ ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας ἧς κατέλιπε τὴν γῆν ἕως τοῦ νῦν.
7
And Elisha came to Damascus; and Ben–hadad the king of Syria was sick; and it was told him, saying, The man of God is come hither.
Καὶ ἦλθεν Ἑλισαιὲ εἰς Δαμασκόν· καὶ υἱὸς Ἄδερ βασιλεὺς Συρίας ἠῤῥώστησε, καὶ ἀνήγγειλαν αὐτῷ, λέγοντες, ἥκει ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ Θεοῦ ἕως ᾧδε.
8
And the king said unto Hazael, Take a present in thine hand, and go, meet the man of God, and enquire of the Lord by him, saying, Shall I recover of this disease?
Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς Ἀζαὴλ, λάβε ἐν τῇ χειρί σου μαναὰ, καὶ δεῦρο εἰς ἀπαντὴν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ ἐπιζήτησον τὸν Κύριον παρʼ αὐτοῦ, λέγων, εἰ ζήσομαι ἐκ τῆς ἀῤῥωστίας μου ταύτης;
9
So Hazael went to meet him, and took a present with him, even of every good thing of Damascus, forty camels’ burden, and came and stood before him, and said, Thy son Ben–hadad king of Syria hath sent me to thee, saying, Shall I recover of this disease?
Καὶ ἐπορεύθη Ἀζαὴλ εἰς ἀπαντὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔλαβε μαναὰ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ πάντα τὰ ἀγαθὰ Δαμασκοῦ, ἄρσιν τεσσαράκοντα καμήλων, καὶ ἦλθε καὶ ἔστη ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἶπε πρὸς Ἑλισαιὲ, υἱός σου υἱὸς Ἅδερ βασιλεὺς Συρίας ἀπέστειλέ με πρὸς σὲ ἐπερωτῆσαι, λέγων, εἰ ζήσομαι ἐκ τῆς ἀῤῥωστίας μου ταύτης;
10
And Elisha said unto him, Go, say unto him, Thou mayest certainly recover: howbeit the Lord hath shewed me that he shall surely die.
Καὶ εἶπεν Ἑλισαιὲ, δεῦρο, εἶπον, ζωῇ ζήσῃ, καὶ ἔδειξέ μοι Κύριος ὅτι θανάτῳ ἀποθανῇ.
11
And he settled his countenance stedfastly, until he was ashamed: and the man of God wept.
Καὶ παρέστη τῷ προσώπῳ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔθηκεν ἕως αἰσχύνης· καὶ ἔκλαυσεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ Θεοῦ.
12
And Hazael said, Why weepeth my lord? And he answered, Because I know the evil that thou wilt do unto the children of Israel: their strong holds wilt thou set on fire, and their young men wilt thou slay with the sword, and wilt dash their children, and rip up their women with child.
Καὶ εἶπεν Ἀζαὴλ, τί ὅτι ὁ κύριός μου κλαίει; καὶ εἶπεν, ὅτι οἶδα ὅσα ποιήσεις τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραὴλ κακά· τὰ ὀχυρώματα αὐτῶν ἐξαποστελεῖς ἐν πυρὶ, καὶ τοὺς ἐκλεκτοὺς αὐτῶν ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ ἀποκτενεῖς, καὶ τὰ νήπια αὐτῶν ἐνσείσεις, καὶ τὰς ἐν γαστρὶ ἐχούσας αὐτῶν ἀναῥῥήξεις.
13
And Hazael said, But what, is thy servant a dog, that he should do this great thing? And Elisha answered, The Lord hath shewed me that thou shalt be king over Syria.
Καὶ εἶπεν Ἀζαὴλ, τίς ἐστιν ὁ δοῦλός σου, ὁ κύων ὁ τεθνηκὼς, ὅτι ποιήσει τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο; καὶ εἶπεν Ἑλισαιὲ, ἔδειξέ μοι Κύριός σε βασιλεύοντα ἐπὶ Συρίαν.
14
So he departed from Elisha, and came to his master; who said to him, What said Elisha to thee? And he answered, He told me that thou shouldest surely recover.
Καὶ ἀπῆλθεν ἀπὸ Ἑλισαιὲ, καὶ εἰσῆλθε πρὸς τὸν κύριον αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, τί εἶπέ σοι Ἑλισαιέ; καὶ εἶπεν, εἶπέ μοι, ζωῇ ζήσῃ.
15
And it came to pass on the morrow, that he took a thick cloth, and dipped it in water, and spread it on his face, so that he died: and Hazael reigned in his stead.
Καὶ ἐγένετο τῇ ἐπαύριον, καὶ ἔλαβε τὸ μαχβὰρ καὶ ἔβαψεν ἐν τῷ ὕδατι, καὶ περιέβαλεν ἐπὶ τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀπέθανε· καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ἀζαὴλ ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ.
16
And in the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being then king of Judah, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign.
Ἐν ἔτει πέμπτῳ τῷ Ἰωρὰμ υἱῷ Ἀχαὰβ βασιλεῖ Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ Ἰωσαφὰτ βασιλεῖ Ἰούδα, ἐβασίλευσεν Ἰωρὰμ υἱὸς Ἰωσαφὰτ βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα.
17
Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
Υἱὸς τριάκοντα καὶ δύο ἐτῶν ἦν ἐν τῷ βασιλεύειν αὐτὸν, καὶ ὀκτὼ ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ.
18
And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab: for the daughter of Ahab was his wife: and he did evil in the sight of the Lord.
Καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐν ὁδῷ βασιλέων Ἰσραὴλ καθὼς ἐποίησεν οἶκος Ἀχαὰβ, ὅτι θυγάτηρ Ἀχαὰβ ἦν αὐτῷ εἰς γυναῖκα, καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου.
19
Yet the Lord would not destroy Judah for David his servant’s sake, as he promised him to give him alway a light, and to his children.
Καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησε Κύριος διαφθεῖραι τὸν Ἰούδαν διὰ Δαυὶδ τὸν δοῦλον αὐτοῦ, καθὼς εἶπε δοῦναι αὐτῷ λύχνον καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας.
20
In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.
Ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις αὐτοῦ ἠθέτησεν Ἐδὼμ ὑποκάτωθεν χειρὸς Ἰούδα, καὶ ἐβασίλευσαν ἐφʼ ἑαυτὸν βασιλέα.
21
So Joram went over to Zair, and all the chariots with him: and he rose by night, and smote the Edomites which compassed him about, and the captains of the chariots: and the people fled into their tents.
Καὶ ἀνέβη Ἰωρὰμ εἰς Σιὼρ, καὶ πάντα τὰ ἅρματα τὰ μετʼ αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτοῦ ἀναστάντος, καὶ ἐπάταξε τὸν Ἐδὼμ τὸν κυκλώσαντα ἐπʼ αὐτὸν, καὶ τοὺς ἄρχοντας τῶν ἁρμάτων, καὶ ἔφυγεν ὁ λαὸς εἰς τὰ σκηνώματα αὐτῶν.
22
Yet Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time.
Καὶ ἠθέτησεν Ἐδὼμ ὑποκάτω τῆς χειρὸς Ἰούδα ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης· τότε ἠθέτησε Λοβνὰ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ.
23
And the rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ἰωρὰμ καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησεν, οὐκ ἰδοὺ ταῦτα γέγραπται ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν Ἰούδα;
24
And Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.
Καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Ἰωρὰμ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐτάφη μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ ἐν πόλει Δαυὶδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ὀχοζίας υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ.
25
In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel did Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah begin to reign.
Ἐν ἔτει δωδεκάτῳ τῷ Ἰωρὰμ υἱῷ Ἀχαὰβ βασιλεῖ Ἰσραὴλ ἐβασίλευσεν Ὀχοζίας υἱὸς Ἰωράμ.
26
Two and twenty years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri king of Israel.
Υἱὸς εἴκοσι καὶ δύο ἐτῶν Ὀχοζίας ἐν τῷ βασιλεύειν αὐτόν, καὶ ἐνιαυτὸν ἕνα ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ ὄνομα τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ Γοθολία θυγάτηρ Ἀμβρὶ βασιλέως Ἰσραήλ.
27
And he walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did evil in the sight of the Lord, as did the house of Ahab: for he was the son in law of the house of Ahab.
Καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐν ὁδῷ οἴκου Ἀχαὰβ, καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου καθὼς ὁ οἶκος Ἀχαάβ.
28
And he went with Joram the son of Ahab to the war against Hazael king of Syria in Ramoth–gilead; and the Syrians wounded Joram.
Καὶ ἐπορεύθη μετὰ Ἰωρὰμ υἱοῦ Ἀχαὰβ εἰς πόλεμον μετὰ Ἁζαὴλ βασιλέως ἀλλοφύλων ἐν Ῥεμμὼθ Γαλαὰδ, καὶ ἐπάταξαν οἱ Σύροι τὸν Ἰωράμ.
29
And king Joram went back to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. And Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
Καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰωρὰμ τοῦ ἰατρευθῆναι ἐν Ἰεζράελ ἀπὸ τῶν πληγῶν ὧν ἐπάταξαν αὐτὸν ἐν Ῥεμμὼθ, ἐν τῷ πολεμεῖν αὐτὸν μετὰ Ἁζαὴλ βασιλέως Συρίας· καὶ Ὀχοζίας υἱὸς Ἰωρὰμ κατέβη τοῦ ἰδεῖν τὸν Ἰωρὰμ υἱὸν Ἀχαὰβ ἐν Ἰεζράελ, ὅτι ἠῤῥώστει αὐτός.
