4 Kingdoms 13

In the twenty-third year of Joas son of Ochozias king of Juda began Joachaz the son of Ju to reign in Samaria, and he reigned seventeen years.

Ἐν ἔτει εἰκοστῷ καὶ τρίτῳ ἔτει τῷ Ἰωὰς υἱῷ Ὀχοζίου βασιλεῖ Ἰούδα ἐβασίλευσεν Ἰωάχαζ υἱὸς Ἰοὺ ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ ἑπτακαίδεκα ἔτη.

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked after the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who led Israel to sin; he departed not from them.

Καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Κυρίου, καὶ ἐπορεύθη ὀπίσω ἁμαρτιῶν Ἱεροβοὰμ υἱοῦ Ναβὰτ, ὃς ἐξήμαρτε τὸν Ἰσραὴλ, οὐκ ἀπέστη ἀπʼ αὐτῆς.

And the Lord was very angry with Israel, and delivered them into the hand of Azael king of Syria, and into the hand of the son of Ader son of Azael, all their days.

Καὶ ὠργίσθη θυμῷ Κύριος ἐν τῷ Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτοὺς ἐν χειρὶ Ἀζαὴλ βασιλέως Συρίας, καὶ ἐν χειρὶ υἱοῦ Ἄδερ υἱοῦ Ἀζαὴλ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας.

And Joachaz besought the Lord, and the Lord hearkened to him, for he saw the affliction of Israel, because the king of Syria afflicted them.

Καὶ ἐδεήθη Ἰωάχαζ τοῦ προσώπου Κυρίου, καὶ ἐπήκουσεν αὐτοῦ Κύριος, ὅτι εἶδε τὴν θλίψιν Ἰσραὴλ, ὅτι ἔθλιψεν αὐτοὺς βασιλεὺς Συρίας.

And the Lord gave deliverance to Israel, and they escaped from under the hand of Syria: and the children of Israel dwelt in their tents as heretofore.

Καὶ ἔδωκε Κύριος σωτηρίαν τῷ Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὑποκάτωθεν χειρὸς Συρίας· καὶ ἐκάθισαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν τοῖς σκηνώμασιν αὐτῶν καθὼς ἐχθὲς καὶ τρίτης.

Only they departed not from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, who led Israel to sin: they walked in them—moreover the grove also remained in Samaria.

Πλὴν οὐκ ἀπέστησαν ἀπὸ ἁμαρτιῶν οἴκου Ἱεροβοὰμ ὃς ἐξήμαρτε τὸν Ἰσραὴλ, ἐν αὐτῇ ἐπορεύθη· καὶ γε τὸ ἄλσος ἐστάθη ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ.

Whereas there was not left any army to Joachaz, except fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand infantry: for the king of Syria had destroyed them, and they made them as dust for trampling.

Ὅτι οὐχ ὑπελείφθη τῷ Ἰωάχαζ λαὸς, ἀλλʼ ἢ πεντήκοντα ἱππεῖς καὶ δέκα ἅρματα καὶ δέκα χιλιάδες πεζῶν, ὅτι ἀπώλεσεν αὐτοὺς βασιλεὺ Συρίας, καὶ ἔθεντο αὐτοὺς ὡς χοῦν εἰς καταπάτησιν.

And the rest of the acts of Joachaz, and all that he did, and his mighty acts are not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

Καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ἰωάχαζ καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησε καὶ αἱ δυναστεῖαι αὐτοῦ, οὐχὶ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν Ἰσραήλ;

And Joachaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria: and Joas his son reigned in his stead.

Καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Ἰωάχαζ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ· καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ἰωὰς υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ.

In the thirty-seventh year of Joas king of Juda, Joas the son of Joachaz began to reign over Israel in Samaria sixteen years.

Ἐν ἔτει τριακοστῷ καὶ ἑβδόμῳ ἔτει τῷ Ἰωὰς βασιλεῖ Ἰούδα ἐβασίλευσεν Ἰωὰς υἱὸς Ἰωάχαζ ἐπὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ ἑκκαίδεκα ἔτη.

And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord; he departed not from all the sin of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who led Israel to sin: he walked in it.

Καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Κυρίου· οὐκ ἀπέστη ἀπὸ πάσης Ἰεροβοὰμ υἱοῦ Ναβὰτ ἁμαρτίας, ὃς ἐξήμαρτε τὸν Ἰσραὴλ· ἐν αὐτῇ ἐπορεύθη.

And the rest of the acts of Joas, and all that he did, and his mighty acts which he performed together with Amessias king of Juda, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

Καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ἰωὰς καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησε, καὶ αἱ δυναστεῖαι αὐτοῦ ἃς ἐποίησε μετὰ Ἀμεσσίου βασιλέως Ἰούδα, οὐχὶ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν Ἰσραήλ;

And Joas slept with his fathers, and Jeroboam sat upon his throne, and he was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.

Καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Ἰωὰς μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ, καὶ Ἰεροβοὰμ ἐκάθισεν ἐτὶ τοῦ θρόνου αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ μετὰ τῶν βασιλέων Ἰσραήλ.

Now Elisaie was sick of his sickness, whereof he died: and Joas king of Israel went down to him, and wept over his face, and said, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horseman thereof!

Καὶ Ἑλισαιὲ ἠῤῥώστησε τὴν ἀῤῥωστίαν αὐτοῦ, διʼ ἣν ἀπέθανε· καὶ κατέβη πρὸς αὐτὸν Ἰωὰς βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἔκλαυσεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἶπε, πάτερ πάτερ, ἅρμα Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἱππεὺς αὐτοῦ.

And Elisaie said to him, Take bow and arrows. And he took to himself a bow and arrows.

Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ἐλισαιὲ, λάβε τόξον καὶ βέλη· καὶ ἔλαβε πρὸς ἑαυτὸν τόξον καὶ βέλη.

And he said to the king, Put thy hand on the bow. And Joas put his hand upon it: and Elisaie put his hands upon the king's hands.

Καὶ εἶπε τῷ βασιλεῖ, ἐπιβίβασον τὴν χεῖρά σου ἐπὶ τὸ τόξον· καὶ ἐπεβίβασεν Ἰωὰς τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐπέθηκεν Ἑλισαιὲ τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὰς χεῖρας τοῦ βασιλέως,

And he said, Open the window eastward. And he opened it. And Elisaie said, Shoot. And he shot. And Elisaie said, The arrow of the Lord's deliverance, and the arrow of deliverance from Syria; and thou shalt smite the Syrians in Aphec until thou have consumed them.

καὶ εἶπεν, ἄνοιξον τὴν θυρίδα κατʼ ἀνατολάς· καὶ ἤνοιξε· καὶ εἶπεν Ἑλισαιὲ, τόζευσον· καὶ ἐτόζευσε· καὶ εἶπε, βέλος σωτηρίας τῷ Κυρίῳ, καὶ βέλος σωτηρίας ἐν Συρίᾳ, καὶ πατάξεις τὴν Συρίαν ἐν Ἀφὲκ ἕως συντελείας.

And Elisaie said to him, Take bow and arrows. And he took them. And he said to the king of Israel, Smite upon the ground. And the king smote three times, and stayed.

Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ἑλισαιὲ, λάβε τόξα· καὶ ἔλαβε· καὶ εἶπε τῷ βασιλεῖ Ἰσραὴλ, πάταξον εἰς τὴν γῆν· καὶ ἐπάταξεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τρὶς, καὶ ἔστη·

And the man of God was grieved at him, and said, If thou hadst smitten five or six times, then thou shouldest have smitten Syria till thou hadst consumed them; but now thou shalt smite Syria only thrice.

Καὶ ἐλυπήθη ἐπʼ αὐτῷ ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ εἶπεν, εἰ ἐπάταξας πεντάκις ἢ ἑξάκις, τότε ἂν ἐπάταξας τὴν Συρίαν ἕως συντελείας, καὶ νῦν τρὶς πατάξεις τὴν Συρίαν.

And Elisaie died, and they buried him. And the bands of the Moabites came into the land, at the beginning of the year.

Καὶ ἀπέθανεν Ἑλισαιὲ, καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτόν· καὶ μονόζωνοι Μωὰβ ἦλθον ἐν τῇ γῇ ἐλθόντος τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ.

And it came to pass as they were burying a man, that behold, they saw a band of men, and they cast the man into the grave of Elisaie: and as soon as he touched the bones of Elisaie, he revived and stood up on his feet.

Καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτῶν θαπτόντων τὸν ἄνδρα, καὶ ἰδοὺ εἶδον τὸν μονόζωνον, καὶ ἔῤῥιψαν τὸν ἄνδρα ἐν τῷ τάφῳ Ἑλισαιέ· καὶ ἐπορεύθη καὶ ἥψατο τῶν ὀστέων Ἑλισαιὲ, καὶ ἔζησε καὶ ἀνέστη ἐπὶ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ.

And Azael greatly afflicted Israel all the days of Joachaz.

Καὶ Ἀζαὴλ ἐξέθλιψε τὸν Ἰσραὴλ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας Ἰωάχαζ.

And the Lord had mercy and compassion upon them, and had respect to them because of his covenant with Abraam, and Isaac, and Jacob; and the Lord would not destroy them, and did not cast them out from his presence.

Καὶ ἠλέησε Κύριος αὐτοὺς καὶ ᾠκτείρησεν αὐτούς, καὶ ἐπέβλεψεν ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς διὰ τὴν διαθήκην αὐτοῦ τὴν μετὰ Ἁβραὰμ καὶ Ἰσαὰκ καὶ Ἰακὼβ, καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησε Κύριος διαφθεῖραι αὐτοὺς, καὶ οὐκ ἀπέῤῥιψεν αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ τοῦ προσώπου αὐτοῦ.

And Azael king of Syria died, and the son of Ader his son reigned in his stead.

Καὶ ἀπέθανεν Ἀζαὴλ βασιλεὺς Συρίας, καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν υἱὸς Ἄδερ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ.

And Joas the son of Joachaz returned, and took the cities out of the hand of the son of Ader the son of Azael, which he had taken out of the hand of Joachaz his father in the war: thrice did Joas smite him, and he recovered the cities of Israel.

Καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν Ἰωὰς υἱὸς Ἰωάχαζ, καὶ ἔλαβε τὰς πόλεις ἐκ χειρὸς υἱοῦ Ἄδερ υἱοῦ Ἄζαὴλ, ἃς ἔλαβεν ἐκ χειρὸς Ἰωάχας τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ πολέμῳ· τρὶς ἐπάταξεν αὐτὸν Ἰωὰς, καὶ ἐπέστρεψε τὰς πόλεις Ἰσραήλ.
