1In the second year of Joas son of Joachaz, king of Israel, reigned Amasias son of Joas king of Juda.
1ΕΝ ἔτει δευτέρῳ τῶ Ἰωὰς υἱῷ Ἰωάχαζ βασιλεῖ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ἀμεσσίας υἱὸς Ἰωὰς βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα.
2He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign: and nine and twenty years he reigned in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Joadan of Jerusalem.
2υἱὸς εἴκοσι καὶ πέντε ἐτῶν ἦν ἐν τῷ βασιλεύειν αὐτὸν καὶ εἴκοσι καὶ ἐννέα ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ, καὶ ὄνομα τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ Ἰωαδὶμ ἐξ Ἱερουσαλήμ.
3And he did that which was right before the Lord, but yet not like David his father. He did according to all things that Joas his father did:
3καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ εὐθὲς ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Κυρίου, πλὴν οὐχ ὡς Δαυὶδ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ· κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησεν Ἰωὰς ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ, ἐποίησε·
4But this only, that he took not away the high places: for yet the people sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
4πλὴν τὰ ὑψηλὰ οὐκ ἐξῇρεν, ἔτι ὁ λαὸς ἐθυσίαζε καὶ ἐθυμίων ἐν τοῖς ὑψηλοῖς.
5And when he had possession of the kingdom, he put his servants to death that had slain the king his father:
5καὶ ἐγένετο ὅτε κατίσχυεν ἡ βασιλεία ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπάταξε τοὺς δούλους αὐτοῦ τοὺς πατάξαντας τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ·
6But the children of the murderers he did not put to death, according to that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, wherein the Lord commanded, saying: The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: but every man shall die for his own sins.
6καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς τῶν παταξάντων οὐκ ἐθανάτωσε, καθὼς γέγραπται ἐν βιβλίῳ νόμων Μωυσῆ, ὡς ἐνετείλατο Κύριος λέγων· οὐκ ἀποθανοῦνται πατέρες ὑπὲρ υἱῶν, καὶ υἱοὶ οὐκ ἀποθανοῦνται ὑπὲρ πατέρων, ὅτι ἀλλ᾿ ἢ ἕκαστος ἐν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις αὐτοῦ ἀποθανεῖται.
7He slew of Edom in the valley of the Saltpits ten thousand men, and took the rock by war, and called the name thereof Jectehel, unto this day.
7αὐτὸς ἐπάταξε τὴν Ἐδὼμ ἐν Γαιμελὲ δέκα χιλιάδας καὶ συνέλαβε τὴν Πέτραν ἐν τῷ πολέμῳ καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῆς Καθοὴλ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης.
8Then Amasias sent messengers to Joas son of Joachaz, son of Jehu king of Israel, saying: Come let us see one another.
8τότε ἀπέστειλεν Ἀμεσσίας ἀγγέλους πρὸς Ἰωὰς υἱὸν Ἰωάχαζ υἱοῦ Ἰοὺ βασιλέως Ἰσραὴλ λέγων· δεῦρο ὀφθῶμεν προσώποις.
9And Joas king of Israel sent again to Amasias king of Juda, saying: A thistle of Libanus sent to a cedar tree, which is in Libanus, saying: Give thy daughter to my son to wife. And the beasts of the forest, that are in Libanus, passed and trod down the thistle.
9καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ἰωὰς βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς Ἀμεσσίαν βασιλέα Ἰούδα λέγων· ὁ ἄκαν ὁ ἐν τῷ Λιβάνῳ ἀπέστειλε πρὸς τὴν κέδρον τὴν ἐν τῷ Λιβάνῳ λέγων· δὸς τὴν θυγατέρα σου τῷ υἱῷ μου εἰς γυναῖκα· καὶ διῆλθον τὰ θηρία τοῦ ἀγροῦ τὰ ἐν τῷ Λιβάνῳ καὶ συνεπάτησαν τὴν ἄκανα.
10Thou hast beaten and prevailed over Edom, and thy heart hath lifted thee up: be content with the glory, and sit at home: why provokest thou evil, that thou shouldst fall, and Juda with thee?
10τύπτων ἐπάταξας τὴν Ἰδουμαίαν, καὶ ἐπῇρέ σε καρδία σου· ἐνδοξάσθητι καθήμενος ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ σου, καὶ ἱνατί ἐρίζεις ἐν κακίᾳ σου; καὶ πεσῇ σὺ καὶ Ἰούδας μετὰ σοῦ.
11But Amasias did not rest satisfied. So Joas king of Israel went up, and he and Amasias king of Juda saw one another in Bethsames a town in Juda.
11καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσεν Ἀμεσσίας. καὶ ἀνέβη Ἰωὰς βασιλεὺς Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ὤφθησαν προσώποις αὐτὸς καὶ Ἀμεσσίας βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα ἐν Βαιθσαμὺς τῇ τοῦ Ἰούδα·
12And Juda was put to the worst before Israel, and they fled every man to their dwellings.
12καὶ ἔπταισεν Ἰούδας ἀπὸ προσώπου Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἔφυγεν ἀνὴρ εἰς τὸ σκήνωμα αὐτοῦ·
13But Joas king of Israel took Amasias, king of Juda the son of Joas, the son of Ochozias, in Bethsames, and brought him into Jerusalem: and he broke down the wall of Jerusalem, from the gate of Ephraim to the gate of the corner, four hundred cubits.
13καὶ τὸν Ἀμεσσίαν υἱὸν Ἰωὰς υἱοῦ Ὀχοζίου συνέλαβεν Ἰωὰς βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ ἐν Βαιθσαμύς. καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ καθεῖλεν ἐν τῷ τείχει Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐν τῇ πύλῃ Ἐφραὶμ ἕως πύλης τῆς γωνίας τετρακοσίους πήχεις·
14And he took all the gold, and silver, and all the vessels, that were found in the house of the Lord, and in the king’s treasures, and hostages, and returned to Samaria.
14καὶ ἔλαβεν τὸ χρυσίον καὶ τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη τὰ εὑρεθέντα ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου καὶ ἐν θησαυροῖς οἴκου τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς τῶν συμμίξεων καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν εἰς Σαμάρειαν.
15But the rest of the acts of Joas, which he did, and his valour, wherewith he fought against Amasias king of Juda, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
15καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ἰωάς, ὅσα ἐποίησεν ἐν δυναστείᾳ αὐτοῦ, ἃ ἐπολέμησε μετὰ Ἀμεσσίου βασιλέως Ἰούδα, οὐχὶ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν Ἰσραήλ;
16And Joas slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria, with the kings of Israel: and Jeroboam his son reigned in his stead.
16καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Ἰωὰς μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ μετὰ τῶν βασιλέων Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ἱεροβοὰμ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ᾿ αὐτοῦ.
17And Amasias the son of Joas king of Juda lived, after the death of Joas son of Joachaz king of Israel fifteen years.
17καὶ ἔζησεν Ἀμεσσίας υἱὸς Ἰωὰς βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα μετὰ τὸ ἀποθανεῖν Ἰωὰς υἱὸν Ἰωάχαζ βασιλέα Ἰσραὴλ πεντεκαίδεκα ἔτη.
18And the rest of the acts of Amasias, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda?
18καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ἀμεσσίου καὶ πάντα, ὅσα ἐποίησεν, οὐχὶ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν Ἰούδα;
19Now they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem: and he fled to Lachis. And they sent after him to Lachis, and killed him there.
19καὶ συνεστράφησαν ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν σύστρεμμα ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ, καὶ ἔφυγεν εἰς Λαχίς· καὶ ἀπέστειλαν ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ εἰς Λαχὶς καὶ ἐθανάτωσαν αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ.
20And they brought him away upon horses, and he was buried in Jerusalem with his fathers in the city of David.
20καὶ ᾖραν αὐτὸν ἐφ᾿ ἵππων, καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ ἐν πόλει Δαυίδ.
21And all the people of Juda took Azarias, who was sixteen years old, and made him king instead of his father Amasias.
21καὶ ἔλαβε πᾶς ὁ λαὸς Ἰούδα τὸν Ἀζαρίαν καὶ αὐτὸς υἱὸς ἑκκαίδεκα ἐτῶν καὶ ἐβασίλευσαν αὐτὸν ἀντὶ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ Ἀμεσσίου.
22He built Elath, and restored it to Juda, after that the king slept with his fathers.
22αὐτὸς ᾠκοδόμησε τὴν Αἰλὼθ καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν αὐτὴν τῷ Ἰούδᾳ μετὰ τὸ κοιμηθῆναι τὸν βασιλέα μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ.
23In the fifteenth year of Amasias son of Joas king of Juda, reigned Jeroboam the son of Joas king of Israel in Samaria, one and forty years:
23Ἐν ἔτει πεντεκαιδεκάτῳ τοῦ Ἀμεσσίου υἱῷ Ἰωὰς βασιλεῖ Ἰούδα ἐβασίλευσεν Ἱεροβοὰμ υἱὸς Ἰωὰς ἐπὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ τεσσαράκοντα καὶ ἓν ἔτος.
24And he did that which was evil before the Lord. He departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin.
24καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου· οὐκ ἀπέστη ἀπὸ πασῶν ἁμαρτιῶν Ἱεροβοὰμ υἱοῦ Ναβάτ, ὃς ἐξήμαρτε τὸν Ἰσραήλ.
25He restored the borders of Israel from the entrance of Emath, unto the sea of the wilderness, according to the word of the Lord the God of Israel, which he spoke by his servant Jonas the son of Amathi, the prophet, who was of Geth, which is in Opher.
25αὐτὸς ἀπέστησε τὸ ὅριον Ἰσραὴλ ἀπὸ εἰσόδου Αἰμὰθ ἕως τῆς θαλάσσης τῆς Ἄραβα κατὰ τὸ ρῆμα Κυρίου Θεοῦ Ἰσραήλ, ὃ ἐλάλησεν ἐν χειρὶ δούλου αὐτοῦ Ἰωνᾶ υἱοῦ Ἀμαθὶ τοῦ προφήτου τοῦ ἐν Γεθχοφέρ.
26For the Lord saw the affliction of Israel that it was exceeding bitter, and that they were consumed even to them that were shut up in prison, and the lowest persons, and that there was no one to help Israel.
26ὅτι εἶδε Κύριος τὴν ταπείνωσιν Ἰσραὴλ πικρὰν σφόδρα καὶ ὀλιγοστοὺς συνεχομένους καὶ ἐσπανισμένους καὶ ἐγκαταλελειμμένους, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ βοηθῶν τῷ Ἰσραήλ.
27And the Lord did not say that he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven, but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joas.
27καὶ οὐκ ἐλάλησε Κύριος ἐξαλεῖψαι τὸ σπέρμα Ἰσραὴλ ὑποκάτωθεν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ἔσωσεν αὐτοὺς διὰ χειρὸς Ἱεροβοὰμ υἱοῦ Ἰωάς.
28But the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his velour, wherewith he fought, and how he restored Damascus, and Emath to Juda in Israel, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
28καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ἱεροβοὰμ καὶ πάντα, ὅσα ἐποίησε, καὶ αἱ δυναστεῖαι αὐτοῦ, ὅσα ἐπολέμησε καὶ ὅσα ἐπέστρεψε τὴν Δαμασκὸν καὶ τὴν Αἰμὰθ τῷ Ἰούδᾳ ἐν Ἰσραήλ, οὐχὶ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν Ἰσραήλ;
29And Jeroboam slept with his fathers the kings of Israel, and Zacharias his son reigned in his stead.
29καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Ἱεροβοὰμ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ μετὰ βασιλέων Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἐβασίλευσε Ζαχαρίας υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ᾿ αὐτοῦ.
