1And behold there came a man of God out of Juda, by the word of the Lord to Bethel, when Jeroboam was standing upon the altar, and burning incense.
1ΚΑΙ ἰδοὺ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐξ Ἰούδα παρεγένετο ἐν λόγῳ Κυρίου εἰς Βαιθήλ, καὶ Ἱεροβοὰμ εἱστήκει ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον ἐπιθῦσαι.
2And he cried out against the altar in the word of the Lord, and said: O altar, altar, thus saith the Lord: Behold a child shall be born to the house of David, Josias by name, and he shall immolate upon thee the priests of the high places, who now burn incense upon thee, and he shall burn men’s bones upon thee.
2καὶ ἐπεκάλεσε πρὸς τὸ θυσιαστήριον ἐν λόγῳ Κυρίου καὶ εἶπε· θυσιαστήριον θυσιαστήριον, τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ἰδοὺ υἱὸς τίκτεται τῷ οἴκῳ Δαυίδ, Ἰωσίας ὄνομα αὐτῷ, καὶ θύσει ἐπὶ σὲ τοὺς ἱερεῖς τῶν ὑψηλῶν τοὺς ἐπιθύοντας ἐπὶ σὲ καὶ ὀστᾶ ἀνθρώπων καύσει ἐπὶ σέ.
3And he gave a sign the same day, saying: This shall be the sign, that the Lord hath spoken: Behold the altar shall be rent, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out.
3καὶ δώσει ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ τέρας λέγων· τοῦτο τὸ ρῆμα ὃ ἐλάλησε Κύριος λέγων· ἰδοὺ τὸ θυσιαστήριον ρήγνυται, καὶ ἐκχυθήσεται ἡ πιότης ἡ ἐπ᾿ αὐτῷ.
4And when the king had heard the word of the man of God, which he had cried out against the altar in Bethel, he stretched forth his hand from the altar, saying: Lay hold on him. And his hand which he stretched forth against him withered: and he was not able to draw it back again to him.
4καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἤκουσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἱεροβοὰμ τῶν λόγων τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ ἐπικαλεσαμένου ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον τὸ ἐν Βαιθήλ, καὶ ἐξέτεινεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου λέγων· συλλάβετε αὐτόν· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐξηράνθη ἡ χεὶρ αὐτοῦ, ἣν ἐξέτεινεν ἐπ᾿ αὐτόν, καὶ οὐκ ἐδυνήθη ἐπιστρέψαι αὐτὴν πρὸς αὐτόν,
5The altar also was rent, and the ashes were poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given before in the word of the Lord.
5καὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον ἐρράγη, καὶ ἐξεχύθη ἡ πιότης ἀπὸ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου κατὰ τὸ τέρας, ὃ ἔδωκεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐν λόγῳ Κυρίου.
6And the king said to the man of God: Entreat the face of the Lord thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored to me. And the man of God besought the face of the Lord, and the king’s hand was restored to him, and it became as it was before.
6καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἱεροβοὰμ τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τοῦ Θεοῦ· δεήθητι τοῦ προσώπου Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ σου, καὶ ἐπιστρεψάτω ἡ χείρ μου πρὸς ἐμέ. καὶ ἐδεήθη ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ προσώπου Κυρίου, καὶ ἐπέστρεψε τὴν χεῖρα τοῦ βασιλέως πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ ἐγένετο καθὼς τὸ πρότερον.
7And the king said to the man of God: Come home with me to dine, and I will make thee presents.
7καὶ ἐλάλησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς τὸν ἄνθρωπον τοῦ Θεοῦ· εἴσελθε μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ εἰς οἶκον καὶ ἀρίστησον, καὶ δώσω σοι δόμα.
8And the man of God answered the king: If thou wouldst give me half thy house I will not go with thee, nor eat bread, nor drink water in this place:
8καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ Θεοῦ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα· ἐὰν δῷς μοι τὸ ἥμισυ τοῦ οἴκου σου, οὐκ εἰσελεύσομαι μετὰ σοῦ οὐδὲ μὴ φάγω ἄρτον οὐδὲ μὴ πίω ὕδωρ ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ·
9For so it was enjoined me by the word of the Lord commanding me: Thou shalt not eat bread nor drink water, nor return by the same way that thou camest.
9ὅτι οὕτως ἐνετείλατό μοι Κύριος ἐν λόγῳ λέγων· μὴ φάγῃς ἄρτον καὶ μὴ πίῃς ὕδωρ καὶ μὴ ἐπιστρέψῃς ἐν τῇ ὁδῶ, ᾗ ἐπορεύθης ἐν αὐτῇ.
10So he departed by another way, and returned not by the way that he came into Bethel.
10καὶ ἀπῆλθεν ἐν ὁδῷ ἄλλῃ καὶ οὐκ ἀνέστρεψεν ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ, ᾗ ἦλθεν ἐν αὐτῇ εἰς Βαιθήλ.
11Now a certain old prophet dwelt in Bethel, and his sons came to him and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel: and they told their father the words which he had spoken to the king.
11Καὶ προφήτης εἷς πρεσβύτης κατῴκει ἐν Βαιθήλ, καὶ ἔρχονται οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ διηγήσαντο αὐτῷ πάντα τὰ ἔργα, ἃ ἐποίησεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἐν Βαιθήλ, καὶ τοὺς λόγους, οὓς ἐλάλησε τῷ βασιλεῖ· καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν τὸ πρόσωπον τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῶν.
12And their father said to them: What way went he? His sons shewed him the way by which the man of God went, who came out of Juda.
12καὶ ἐλάλησε πρὸς αὐτοὺς ὁ πατὴρ αὐτῶν λέγων· ποίᾳ ὁδῷ πεπόρευται; καὶ δεικνύουσιν αὐτῷ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ τὴν ὁδόν, ἐν ᾗ ἀνῆλθεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ Θεοῦ ὁ ἐλθὼν ἐξ Ἰούδα.
13And he said to his sons: Saddle me the ass. And when they had saddled him, he got up,
13καὶ εἶπε τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ· ἐπισάξατέ μοι τὸν ὄνον· καὶ ἐπέσαξαν αὐτῷ τὸν ὄνον, καὶ ἐπέβη ἐπ᾿ αὐτόν.
14And went after the man of God, and found him sitting under a turpentine tree: and he said to him: Art thou the man of God that camest from Juda? He answered: I am.
14καὶ ἐπορεύθη κατόπισθεν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ εὗρεν αὐτὸν καθήμενον ὑπὸ δρῦν καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· εἰ σὺ εἶ ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ Θεοῦ ὁ ἐληλυθὼς ἐξ Ἰούδα; καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ἐγώ.
15And he said to him: Come home with me, to eat bread.
15καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· δεῦρο μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ καὶ φάγε ἄρτον.
16But he said: I must not return, nor go with thee, neither will I eat bread, nor drink water in this place:
16καὶ εἶπεν· οὐ μὴ δύνωμαι τοῦ ἐπιστρέψαι μετὰ σοῦ οὐδὲ μὴ φάγομαι ἄρτον οὐδὲ πίομαι ὕδωρ ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ·
17Because the Lord spoke to me in the word of the Lord, saying: Thou shalt not eat bread, and thou shalt not drink water there, nor return by the way thou wentest.
17ὅτι οὕτως ἐντέταλταί μοι ἐν λόγῳ Κύριος λέγων· μὴ φάγῃς ἄρτον ἐκεῖ καὶ μὴ πίῃς ὕδωρ καὶ μὴ ἐπιστρέψῃς ἐκεῖ ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ, ᾗ ἐπορεύθης ἐν αὐτῇ.
18He said to him: I also am a prophet like unto thee: and an angel spoke to me in the word of the Lord, saying: Bring him back with thee into thy house, that he may eat bread, and drink water. He deceived him,
18καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτόν· κἀγὼ προφήτης εἰμὶ καθὼς σύ, καὶ ἄγγελος λελάληκε πρός με ἐν ρήματι Κυρίου λέγων· ἐπίστρεψον αὐτὸν πρὸς σεαυτὸν εἰς τὸν οἶκόν σου, καὶ φαγέτω ἄρτον, καὶ πιέτω ὕδωρ· καὶ ἐψεύσατο αὐτῷ.
19And brought him back with him: so he ate bread and drank water in his house.
19καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἔφαγεν ἄρτον καὶ ἔπιεν ὕδωρ ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ.
20And as they sat at table, the word of the Lord came to the prophet that brought him back:
20καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτῶν καθημένων ἐπὶ τῆς τραπέζης, καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς τὸν προφήτην τὸν ἐπιστρέψαντα αὐτὸν
21And he cried out to the man of God who came out of Juda, saying: Thus saith the Lord: Because thou hast not been obedient to the Lord, and hast not kept the commandment which the Lord thy God commanded thee,
21καὶ εἶπε πρὸς τὸν ἄνθρωπον τοῦ Θεοῦ τὸν ἥκοντα ἐξ Ἰούδα λέγων· τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ἀνθ᾿ ὧν παρεπίκρανας τὸ ρῆμα Κυρίου καὶ οὐκ ἐφύλαξας τὴν ἐντολήν, ἣν ἐνετείλατό σοι Κύριος ὁ Θεός σου,
22And hast returned and eaten bread, and drunk water in the place wherein he commanded thee that thou shouldst not eat bread, nor drink water, thy dead body shall not be brought into the sepulchre of thy fathers.
22καὶ ἐπέστρεψας καὶ ἔφαγες ἄρτον καὶ ἔπιες ὕδωρ ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ, ᾧ ἐλάλησε πρός σε λέγων· οὐ μὴ φάγῃς ἄρτον καὶ μὴ πίῃς ὕδωρ, οὐ μὴ εἰσέλθῃ τὸ σῶμά σου εἰς τὸν τάφον τῶν πατέρων σου.
23And when he had eaten and drunk, he saddled his ass for the prophet, whom he had brought back.
23καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ τὸ φαγεῖν αὐτὸν ἄρτον καὶ πιεῖν ὕδωρ, καὶ ἐπέσαξεν αὐτῷ τὸν ὄνον, καὶ ἐπέστρεψε.
24And when he was gone, a lion found him in the way, and killed him, and his body was cast in the way: and the ass stood by him, and the lion stood by the dead body.
24καὶ ἀπῆλθε, καὶ εὗρεν αὐτὸν λέγων ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ καὶ ἐθανάτωσεν αὐτόν, καὶ ἦν τὸ σῶμα αὐτοῦ ἐρριμμένον ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ, καὶ ὁ ὄνος εἱστήκει παρ᾿ αὐτό, καὶ ὁ λέων εἱστήκει παρὰ τὸ σῶμα.
25And behold, men passing by saw the dead body cast in the way, and the lion standing by the body. And they came and told it in the city, wherein that old prophet dwelt.
25καὶ ἰδοὺ ἄνδρες παραπορευόμενοι καὶ εἶδον τὸ θνησιμαῖον ἐρριμμένον ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ καὶ ὁ λέων εἱστήκει ἐχόμενα τοῦ θνησιμαίου· καὶ εἰσῆλθον καὶ ἐλάλησαν ἐν τῇ πόλει, οὗ ὁ προφήτης ὁ πρεσβύτης κατῴκει ἐν αὐτῇ.
26And when that prophet, who had brought him back out of the way, heard of it, he said: It is the man of God, that was disobedient to the mouth of the Lord, and the Lord hath delivered him to the lion, and he hath torn him, and killed him according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke to him.
26καὶ ἤκουσεν ὁ ἐπιστρέψας αὐτὸν ἐκ τῆς ὁδοῦ καὶ εἶπεν· ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ Θεοῦ οὗτός ἐστίν, ὃς παρεπίκρανε τὸ ρῆμα Κυρίου.
27And he said to his sons: Saddle me an ass. And when they had saddled it,
no verse 27 in this text
28And he was gone, he found the dead body cast in the way, and the ass and the lion standing by the carcass: the lion had not eaten of the dead body, nor hurt the ass.
28καὶ ἐπορεύθη καὶ εὗρε τὸ σῶμα αὐτοῦ ἐρριμμένον ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ, καὶ ὁ ὄνος καὶ ὁ λέων εἱστήκεισαν παρὰ τὸ σῶμα, καὶ οὐκ ἔφαγεν ὁ λέων τὸ σῶμα τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ οὐ συνέτριψε τὸν ὄνον.
29And the prophet took up the body of the man of God, and laid it upon the ass, and going back brought it into the city of the old prophet, to mourn for him.
29καὶ ᾖρεν ὁ προφήτης τὸ σῶμα τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ ἐπέθηκεν αὐτὸ ἐπὶ τὸν ὄνον, καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν αὐτὸν εἰς τὴν πόλιν ὁ προφήτης τοῦ θάψαι αὐτὸν
30And he laid his dead body in his own sepulchre: and they mourned over him, saying: Alas! alas! my brother.
30ἐν τῷ τάφῳ ἑαυτοῦ, καὶ ἐκόψαντο αὐτόν· οὐαὶ ἀδελφέ.
31And when they had mourned over him, he said to his sons: When I am dead, bury me in the sepulchre wherein the man of God is buried: lay my bones beside his bones.
31καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ τὸ κόψασθαι αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπε τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ λέγων· ἐὰν ἀποθάνω, θάψατέ με ἐν τῷ τάφῳ τούτῳ οὗ ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ Θεοῦ τέθαπται ἐν αὐτῷ· παρὰ τὰ ὀστᾶ αὐτοῦ θέτε με, ἵνα σωθῶσι τὰ ὀστᾶ μου μετὰ τῶν ὀστῶν αὐτοῦ·
32For assuredly the word shall come to pass which he hath foretold in the word of the Lord against the altar that is in Bethel: and against all the temples of the high places, that are in the cities of Samaria.
32ὅτι γινόμενον ἔσται τὸ ρῆμα, ὃ ἐλάλησεν ἐν λόγῳ Κυρίου ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον ἐν Βαιθὴλ καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς οἴκους τοὺς ὑψηλοὺς τοὺς ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ.
33After these words Jeroboam came not back from his wicked way: but on the contrary he made of the meanest of the people priests of the high places: whosoever would, he filled his hand, and he was made a priest of the high places.
33καὶ μετὰ τὸ ρῆμα τοῦτο οὐκ ἐπέστρεψεν Ἱεροβοὰμ ἀπὸ τῆς κακίας αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπέστρεψε καὶ ἐποίησεν ἐκ μέρους τοῦ λαοῦ ἱερεῖς ὑψηλῶν· ὁ βουλόμενος ἐπλήρου τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐγίνετο ἱερεὺς εἰς τὰ ὑψηλά.
34And for this cause did the house of Jeroboam sin, and was cut off and destroyed from the face of the earth.
34καὶ ἐγένετο τὸ ρῆμα τοῦτο εἰς ἁμαρτίαν τῷ οἴκῳ Ἱεροβοὰμ καὶ εἰς ὄλεθρον καὶ εἰς ἀφανισμὸν ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς γῆς.
