1
Καὶ ἀνέστη Ἠλίας προφήτης ὡς πῦρ, καὶ ὁ λόγος αὐτοῦ ὡς λαμπὰς ἐκαίετο·
Then stood up Elias the prophet as fire, and his word burned like a lamp.
2
ὃς ἐπήγαγεν ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς λιμὸν, καὶ τῷ ζήλῳ αὐτοῦ ὠλιγοποίησεν αὐτούς.
He brought a sore famine upon them, and by his zeal he diminished their number.
3
Ἐν λόγῳ Κυρίου ἀνέσχεν οὐρανὸν, κατήγαγεν οὕτως τρὶς πῦρ.
By the word of the Lord he shut up the heaven, and also three times brought down fire.
4
Ὡς ἐδοξάσθης Ἠλία ἐν τοῖς θαυμασίοις σου; καὶ τίς ὅμοιός σοι καυχᾶσθαι;
O Elias, how wast thou honoured in thy wondrous deeds! and who may glory like unto thee!
5
Ὁ ἐγείρας νεκρὸν ἐκ θυνάτου καὶ ἐξ ᾅδου ἐν λόγῳ ὑψίστου·
Who didst raise up a dead man from death, and his soul from the place of the dead, by the word of the most High:
6
ὁ καταγαγὼν βασιλεῖς εἰς ἀπώλειαν, καὶ δεδοξασμένους ἀπὸ κλίνης αὐτῶν·
Who broughtest kings to destruction, and honorable men from their bed:
7
ὁ ἀκούων ἐν Σινᾷ ἐλεγμὸν, καὶ ἐν Χωρὴβ κρίματα ἐκδικήσεως·
Who heardest the rebuke of the Lord in Sinai, and in Horeb the judgment of vengeance:
8
ὁ χρίων βασιλεῖς εἰς ἀνταπόδομα, καὶ προφήτας διαδόχους μετʼ αὐτόν·
Who annointedst kings to take revenge, and prophets to succeed after him:
9
ὁ ἀναληφθεὶς ἐν λαίλαπι πυρὸς ἐν ἅρματι ἵππων πυρίνων·
Who was taken up in a whirlwind of fire, and in a chariot of fiery horses:
10
ὁ καταγραφεὶς ἐν ἐλεγμοῖς εἰς καιροὺς, κοπάσαι ὀργὴν πρὸ θυμοῦ, καὶ ἐπιστρέψαι καρδίαν πατρὸς πρὸς υἱὸν, καὶ καταστῆσαι φυλὰς Ἰακώβ.
Who wast ordained for reproofs in their times, to pacify the wrath of the Lord’s judgment, before it brake forth into fury, and to turn the heart of the father unto the son, and to restore the tribes of Jacob.
11
Μακάριοι οἱ ἰδόντες σε, καὶ οἱ ἐν ἀγαπήσει κεκοσμημένοι· καὶ γὰρ ἡμεῖς ζωῇ ζησόμεθα.
Blessed are they that saw thee, and slept in love; for we shall surely live.
12
Ἠλίας, ὃς ἐν λαίλαπι ἐσκεπάσθη· καὶ Ἐλισαιὲ ἐνεπλήσθη πνεύματος αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐν ἡμέραις αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐσαλεύθη ὑπὸ ἄρχοντος, καὶ οὐ κατεδυνάστευσεν αὐτὸν οὐδείς.
Elias it was, who was covered with a whirlwind: and Eliseus was filled with his spirit: whilst he lived, he was not moved with the presence of any prince, neither could any bring him into subjection.
13
Πᾶς λόγος οὐχ ὑπερῇρεν αὐτὸν, καὶ ἐν κοιμήσει ἐπροφήτευσε τὸ σῶμα αὐτοῦ.
No word could overcome him; and after his death his body prophesied.
14
Καὶ ἐν ζωῇ αὐτοῦ ἐποίησε τέρατα. καὶ ἐν τελευτῇ θαυμάσια τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ.
He did wonders in his life, and at his death were his works marvellous.
15
Ἐν πᾶσι τούτοις οὐ μετενόησεν ὁ λαὸς, καὶ οὐκ ἀπέστησαν ἀπὸ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν, ἕως ἐπρονομεύθησαν ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐσκορπίσθησαν ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ· καὶ κατελείφθη ὁ λαὸς ὀλιγοστὸς, καὶ ἄρχων τῷ οἴκῳ Δαυίδ.
For all this the people repented not, neither departed they from their sins, till they were spoiled and carried out of their land, and were scattered through all the earth: yet there remained a small people, and a ruler in the house of David:
16
Τινὲς μὲν αὐτῶν ἐποίησαν τὸ ἀρεστὸν, τινὲς δὲ ἐπλήθυναν ἁμαρτίας.
Of whom some did that which was pleasing to God, and some multiplied sins.
17
Ἐζεκίας ὠχύρωσε τὴν πόλιν αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἰσήγαγεν εἰς μέσον αὐτῶν τὸν Γώγ· ὤρυξε σιδήρῳ ἀκρότομον, καὶ ᾠκοδόμησε κρήνας εἰς ὕδατα.
Ezekias fortified his city, and brought in water into the midst thereof: he digged the hard rock with iron, and made wells for waters.
18
Ἐν ἡμέραις αὐτοῦ ἀνέβη Σενναχηρὶμ, καὶ ἀπέστειλε Ῥαψάκην, καὶ ἀπῇρε· καὶ ἐπῇρεν ἡ χεὶρ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ Σιὼν, καὶ ἐμεγαλαύχησεν ὑπερηφανίᾳ αὐτοῦ.
In his time Sennacherib came up, and sent Rabsaces, and lifted up his hand against Sion, and boasted proudly.
19
Τότε ἐσαλεύθησαν καρδίαι καὶ χεῖρες αὐτῶν, καὶ ὠδίνησαν ὡς αἱ τίκτουσαι.
Then trembled their hearts and hands, and they were in pain, as women in travail.
20
Καὶ ἐπεκαλέσαντο τὸν Κύριον τὸν ἐλεήμονα, ἐκπετάσαντες τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν πρὸς αὐτόν· καὶ ὁ ἅγιος ἐξ οὐρανοῦ ταχὺ ἐπήκουσεν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐλυτρώσατο αὐτοὺς ἐν χειρὶ Ἡσαΐου.
But they called upon the Lord which is merciful, and stretched out their hands toward him: and immediately the Holy One heard them out of heaven, and delivered them by the ministry of Esay.
21
Ἐπάταξε τὴν παρεμβολὴν τῶν Ἀσσυρίων, καὶ ἐξέτριψεν αὐτοὺς ὁ ἄγγελος αὐτοῦ.
He smote the host of the Assyrians, and his angel destroyed them.
22
Ἐποίησε γὰρ Ἐζεκίας τὸ ἀρεστὸν Κυρίῳ, καὶ ἐνίσχυσεν ἐν ὁδοῖς Δαυὶδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, ἃς ἐνετείλατο Ἡσαΐας ὁ προφήτης ὁ μέγας, καὶ πιστὸς ἐν ὁράσει αὐτοῦ.
For Ezekias had done the thing that pleased the Lord, and was strong in the ways of David his father, as Esay the prophet, who was great and faithful in his vision, had commanded him.
23
Ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις αὐτοῦ ἀνεπόδισεν ὁ ἥλιος, καὶ προσέθηκε ζωὴν βασιλεῖ·
In his time the sun went backward, and he lengthened the king’s life.
24
Πνεύματι μεγάλῳ εἶδε τὰ ἔσχατα, καὶ παρεκάλεσε τοὺς πενθοῦντας ἐν Σιών.
He saw by an excellent spirit what should come to pass at the last, and he comforted them that mourned in Sion.
25
Ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος ὑπέδειξε τὰ ἐσόμενα, καὶ τὰ ἀπόκρυφα πρινὴ παραγενέσθαι αὐτά.
He shewed what should come to pass for ever, and secret things or ever they came.
