1Achaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: he did not that which was right in the sight of the Lord as David his father had done,
1ΥΙΟΣ εἴκοσι καὶ πέντε ἐτῶν ἦν Ἄχαζ ἐν τῷ βασιλεύειν αὐτὸν καὶ ἑκκαίδεκα ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ· καὶ οὐκ ἐποίησε τὸ εὐθὲς ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, ὡς Δαυὶδ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ.
2But walked in the ways of the kings of Israel; moreover also he cast statues for Baalim.
2καὶ ἐπορεύθη κατὰ τὰς ὁδοὺς βασιλέων Ἰσραήλ· καὶ γὰρ γλυπτὰ ἐποίησε
3It was he that burnt incense in the valley of Benennom, and consecrated his sons in the fire according to the manner of the nations, which the Lord slew at the coming of the children of Israel.
3τοῖς εἰδώλοις αὐτῶν καὶ ἔθυεν ἐν Βενεννὸμ καὶ διῆγε τὰ τέκνα αὐτοῦ διὰ πυρὸς κατὰ τὰ βδελύγματα τῶν ἐθνῶν, ὧν ἐξωλόθρευσε Κύριος ἀπὸ προσώπου υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ,
4He sacrificed also, and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.
4καὶ ἐθυμία ἐπὶ τῶν ὑψηλῶν καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν δωμάτων καὶ ὑποκάτω παντὸς ξύλου ἀλσώδους.
5And the Lord his God delivered him into the hands of the king of Syria, who defeated him, and took a great booty out of his kingdom, and carried it to Damascus: he was also delivered into the hands of the king of Israel, who overthrew him with a great slaughter.
5καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτὸν Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς αὐτοῦ διὰ χειρὸς βασιλέως Συρίας, καὶ ἐπάταξεν ἐν αὐτῷ καὶ ᾐχμαλώτευσεν ἐξ αὐτῶν αἰχμαλωσίαν πολλὴν καὶ ἤγαγεν εἰς Δαμασκόν· καὶ γὰρ εἰς χεῖρας βασιλέως Ἰσραὴλ παρέδωκεν αὐτόν, καὶ ἐπάταξεν ἐν αὐτῷ πληγὴν μεγάλην.
6For Phacee the son of Romelia slew of Juda a hundred and twenty thousand in one day, all valiant men: because they had forsaken the Lord the God of their fathers.
6καὶ ἀπέκτεινε Φακεὲ ὁ τοῦ Ρομελία βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ ἐν Ἰούδᾳ ἐν μιᾷ ἡμέρᾳ ἑκατὸν εἴκοσι χιλιάδας ἀνδρῶν δυνατῶν ἰσχύϊ ἐν τῷ καταλιπεῖν αὐτοὺς Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν.
7At the same time Zechri a powerful man of Ephraim, slew Maasias the king’s son, and Ezricam the governor of his house, and Elcana who was next to the king.
7καὶ ἀπέκτεινε Ζεχρὶ ὁ δυνατὸς τοῦ Ἐφραὶμ τὸν Μαασὰ τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τὸν Ἐζρικὰν ἡγούμενον τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸν Ἑλκανὰ τὸν διάδοχον τοῦ βασιλέως.
8And the children of Israel carried away of their brethren two hundred thousand women, boys, and girls, and an immense booty: and they brought it to Samaria.
8καὶ ᾐχμαλώτισαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἀπὸ τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτῶν τριακοσίας χιλιάδας, γυναῖκας καὶ υἱοὺς καὶ θυγατέρας, καὶ σκῦλα πολλὰ ἐσκύλευσαν ἐξ αὐτῶν καὶ ἤνεγκαν τὰ σκῦλα εἰς Σαμάρειαν.
9At that time there was a prophet of the Lord there, whose name was Oded: and he went out to meet the army that came to Samaria, and said to them: Behold the Lord the God of your fathers being angry with Juda, hath delivered them into your hands, and you have butchered them cruelly, so that your cruelty hath reached up to heaven.
9καὶ ἐκεῖ ἦν ὁ προφήτης τοῦ Κυρίου, Ὠδὴδ ὄνομα αὐτῷ, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν εἰς ἀπάντησιν τῆς δυνάμεως τῶν ἐρχομένων εἰς Σαμάρειαν καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ἰδοὺ ὀργὴ Κυρίου Θεοῦ τῶν πατέρων ὑμῶν ἐπὶ Ἰούδαν, καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὰς χεῖρας ὑμῶν, καὶ ἀπεκτείνατε ἐν αὐτοῖς ἐν ὀργῇ· καὶ ἕως τῶν οὐρανῶν ἔφθακε.
10Moreover you have a mind to keep under the children of Juda and Jerusalem for your bondmen and bondwomen, which ought not to be done: for you have sinned in this against the Lord your God.
10καὶ νῦν υἱοὺς Ἰούδα καὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ ὑμεῖς λέγετε κατακτήσασθαι εἰς δούλους καὶ δούλας· οὐκ ἰδού εἰμι μεθ' ὑμῶν μαρτυρῆσαι Κυρίῳ Θεῷ ὑμῶν;
11But hear ye my counsel, and release the captives that you have brought of your brethren, because a great indignation of the Lord hangeth over you.
11καὶ νῦν ἀκούσατέ μου καὶ ἀποστρέψατε τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν, ἣν ᾐχμαλωτεύσατε τῶν ἀδελφῶν ὑμῶν, ὅτι ὀργὴ θυμοῦ Κυρίου ἐφ' ὑμῖν.
12Then some of the chief men of the sons of Ephraim, Azarias the son of Johanan, Barachias the son of Mosollamoth, Ezechias the son of Sellum, and Amasa the son of Adali, stood up against them that came from the war.
12καὶ ἀνέστησαν ἄρχοντες ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Ἐφραίμ, Οὐδείας ὁ τοῦ Ἰωανοῦ καὶ Βαραχίας ὁ τοῦ Μωσολαμὼθ καὶ Ἐζεκίας ὁ τοῦ Σελλὴμ καὶ Ἀμασίας ὁ τοῦ Ἐλδαΐ, ἐπὶ τοὺς ἐρχομένους ἀπὸ τοῦ πολέμου,
13And they said to them: You shall not bring in the captives hither, lest we sin against the Lord. Why will you add to our sins, and heap up upon our former offences? for the sin is great, and the fierce anger of the Lord hangeth over Israel.
13καὶ εἶπαν αὐτοῖς· οὐ μὴ εἰσαγάγητε τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν ὧδε πρὸς ἡμᾶς, ὅτι εἰς τὸ ἁμαρτάνειν τῷ Κυρίῳ ἐφ' ἡμᾶς ὑμεῖς λέγετε, προσθεῖναι ἐπὶ ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις ἡμῶν καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν ἄγνοιαν ἡμῶν, ὅτι πολλὴ ἡ ἁμαρτία ἡμῶν καὶ ὀργὴ θυμοῦ Κυρίου ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰσραήλ.
14So the soldiers left the spoils, and all that they had taken, before the princes and all the multitude.
14καὶ ἀφῆκαν οἱ πολεμισταὶ τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν καὶ τὰ σκῦλα ἐναντίον τῶν ἀρχόντων καὶ πάσης τῆς ἐκκλησίας.
15And the men, whom we mentioned above, rose up and took the captives, and with the spoils clothed all them that were naked: and when they had clothed and shed them, and refreshed them with meat and drink, and anointed them because of their labour, and had taken care of them, they set such of them as could not walk, and were feeble, upon beasts, and brought them to Jericho the city of palm trees to their brethren, and they returned to Samaria.
15καὶ ἀνέστησαν ἄνδρες, οἳ ἐπεκλήθησαν ἐν ὀνόματι, καὶ ἀντελάβοντο τῆς αἰχμαλωσίας καὶ πάντας τοὺς γυμνοὺς περιέβαλον ἀπὸ τῶν σκύλων καὶ ἐνέδυσαν αὐτοὺς καὶ ὑπέδυσαν αὐτοὺς καὶ ἔδωκαν φαγεῖν καὶ ἀλείψασθαι καὶ ἀντελάβοντο καὶ ἐν ὑποζυγίοις παντὸς ἀσθενοῦντος καὶ κατέστησαν αὐτοὺς εἰς Ἱεριχὼ πόλιν Φοινίκων πρὸς τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν εἰς Σαμάρειαν.
16At that time king Achaz sent to the king of the Assyrians asking help.
16Ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἄχαζ πρὸς βασιλέα Ἀσσοὺρ βοηθῆσαι αὐτῷ καὶ ἐν τούτῳ,
17And the Edomites came and slew many of Juda, and took a great booty.
17ὅτι οἱ Ἰδουμαῖοι ἐπέθεντο καὶ ἐπάταξαν ἐν Ἰούδᾳ καὶ ᾐχμαλώτισαν αἰχμαλωσίαν
18The Philistines also spread themselves among the cities of the plains, and to the south of Juda: and they took Bethsames, and Aialon, and Gaderoth, and Socho, and Thamnan, and Gamzo, with their villages, and they dwelt in them.
18καὶ οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι ἐπέθεντο ἐπὶ τὰς πόλεις τῆς πεδινῆς καὶ ἀπὸ λιβὸς τοῦ Ἰούδα καὶ ἔλαβον τὴν Βαιθσαμὺς καὶ τὴν Ἀϊλὼν καὶ τὴν Γαδηρὼθ καὶ τὴν Σωχὼ καὶ τὰς κώμας αὐτῆς καὶ τὴν Θαμνὰ καὶ τὰς κώμας αὐτῆς καὶ τὴν Γαμζὼ καὶ τὰς κώμας αὐτῆς καὶ κατῴκησαν ἐκεῖ·
19For the Lord had humbled Juda because of Achaz the king of Juda, for he had stripped it of help, and had contemned the Lord.
19ὅτι ἐταπείνωσε Κύριος τὸν Ἰούδαν διὰ Ἄχαζ βασιλέα Ἰούδα, ὅτι ἀπέστη ἀποστάσει ἀπὸ Κυρίου.
20And he brought, against him Thelgathphalnasar king of the Assyrians, who also afflicted him, and plundered him without any resistance.
20καὶ ἦλθεν ἐπ' αὐτὸν Θαγλαθφελλασὰρ βασιλεὺς Ἀσσοὺρ καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτόν.
21And Achaz stripped the house of the Lord, and the house of the kings, and of the princes, and gave gifts to the king of the Assyrians, and yet it availed him nothing.
21καὶ ἔλαβεν Ἄχαζ τὰ ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου καὶ τὰ ἐν οἴκῳ τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τῶν ἀρχόντων καὶ ἔδωκε τῷ βασιλεῖ Ἀσσοὺρ καὶ οὐκ εἰς βοήθειαν αὐτῷ ἦν,
22Moreover also in the time of his distress he increased contempt against the Lord: king Achaz himself by himself,
22ἀλλ' ἢ τῷ θλιβῆναι αὐτόν. καὶ προσέθηκε τοῦ ἀποστῆναι ἀπὸ Κυρίου. καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἄχαζ·
23Sacrificed victims to the gods of Damascus that struck him, and he said: The gods of the kings of Syria help them, and I will appease them with victims, and they will help me; whereas on the contrary they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel.
23ἐκζητήσω τοὺς θεοὺς Δαμασκοῦ τοὺς τύπτοντάς με· καὶ εἶπεν ὅτι θεοὶ βασιλέως Συρίας αὐτοὶ κατισχύσουσιν αὐτούς, αὐτοῖς τοίνυν θύσω, καὶ ἀντιλήψονταί μου. καὶ αὐτοὶ ἐγένοντο αὐτῷ εἰς σκῶλον καὶ παντὶ Ἰσραήλ.
24Then Achaz having taken away all the vessels of the house of God, and broken them, shut up the doors of the temple of God, and made himself altars in all the corners of Jerusalem.
24καὶ ἀπέστησεν Ἄχαζ τὰ σκεύη οἴκου Κυρίου καὶ κατέκοψεν αὐτὰ καὶ ἔκλεισε τὰς θύρας οἴκου Κυρίου καὶ ἐποίησεν ἑαυτῷ θυσιαστήρια ἐν πάσῃ γωνίᾳ ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ·
25And in all the cities of Juda he built altars to burn frankincense, and he provoked the Lord the God of his fathers to wrath.
25καὶ ἐν πάσῃ πόλει καὶ πόλει ἐν Ἰούδᾳ ἐποίησεν ὑψηλὰ θυμιᾶν θεοῖς ἀλλοτρίοις, καὶ παρώργισαν Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν.
26But the rest of his acts, and all his works first and last are written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel.
26καὶ οἱ λοιποὶ λόγοι αὐτοῦ καὶ αἱ πράξεις αὐτοῦ αἱ πρῶται καὶ ἔσχαται ἰδοὺ γεγραμμέναι ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ βασιλέων Ἰούδα καὶ Ἰσραήλ.
27And Achaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of Jerusalem: for they received him not into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel. And Ezechias his son reigned in his stead.
27καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Ἄχαζ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν πόλει Δαυίδ, ὅτι οὐκ εἰσήνεγκαν αὐτὸν εἰς τοὺς τάφους τῶν βασιλέων Ἰσραήλ· καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ἐζεκίας υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ' αὐτοῦ.
