1And Eliseus the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets, slid said to him: Gird up thy loins, and take this little bottle of oil in thy hand, and go to Ramoth Galaad.
1ΚΑΙ Ἑλισαιὲ ὁ προφήτης ἐκάλεσεν ἕνα τῶν υἱῶν τῶν προφητῶν καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ζῶσαι τὴν ὀσφύν σου καὶ λαβὲ τὸν φακὸν τοῦ ἐλαίου τούτου ἐν τῇ χειρί σου καὶ δεῦρο εἰς Ρεμμὼθ Γαλαάδ·
2And when thou art come thither, thou shalt see Jehu the son of Josaphat the son of Namsi: and going in thou shalt make him rise up from amongst his brethren, and carry him into an inner chamber.
2καὶ εἰσελεύσῃ ἐκεῖ καὶ ὄψῃ ἐκεῖ Ἰοὺ υἱὸν Ἰωσαφὰτ υἱοῦ Ναμεσσὶ καὶ εἰσελεύσῃ καὶ ἀναστήσεις αὐτὸν ἐκ μέσου τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ εἰσάξεις αὐτὸν εἰς τὸ ταμιεῖον ἐν ταμιείῳ·
3Then taking the little bottle of oil, thou shalt pour it on his head, and shalt say: Thus saith the Lord: I have anointed thee king over Israel. And thou shalt open the door and flee, and shalt not stay there.
3καὶ λήψῃ τὸν φακὸν τοῦ ἐλαίου καὶ ἐπιχεεῖς ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ εἰπόν· τάδε λέγει Κύριος· κέχρικά σε εἰς βασιλέα ἐπὶ Ἰσραήλ· καὶ ἀνοίξεις τὴν θύρα καὶ φεύξῃ καὶ οὐ μενεῖς.
4So the young man, the servant of the prophet, went awry to Ramoth Galaad,
4καὶ ἐπορεύθη τὸ παιδάριον ὁ προφήτης εἰς Ρεμμὼθ Γαλαὰδ
5And went in thither: and behold the captains of the army were sitting: and he said: I have a word to thee, O prince. And Jehu said: Unto whom of us all? And he said: To thee, O prince.
5καὶ εἰσῆλθε, καὶ ἰδοὺ οἱ ἄρχοντες τῆς δυνάμεως ἐκάθηντο, καὶ εἶπε· λόγος μοι πρὸς σέ, ὁ ἄρχων. καὶ εἶπεν Ἰού· πρὸς τίνα ἐκ πάντων ἡμῶν; καὶ εἶπε· πρὸς σέ, ὁ ἄρχων.
6And he arose, and went into the chamber: and he poured the oil upon his head, and said: Thus saith the Lord God of Israel: I have anointed thee king over Israel, the people of the Lord.
6καὶ ἀνέστη καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον, καὶ ἐπέχεε τὸ ἔλαιον ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· τάδε λέγει Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραήλ· κέχρικά σε εἰς βασιλέα ἐπὶ λαὸν Κυρίου ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰσραήλ,
7And thou shalt cut off the house of Achab thy master, and I will revenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the Lord at the hand of Jezabel.
7καὶ ἐξολοθρεύσεις τὸν οἶκον Ἀχαὰβ τοῦ κυρίου σου ἐκ προσώπου μου καὶ ἐκδικήσεις τὰ αἵματα τῶν δούλων μου τῶν προφητῶν καὶ τὰ αἵματα πάντων τῶν δούλων Κυρίου ἐκ χειρὸς Ἰεζάβελ
8And I will destroy all the house of Achab, and I will cut off from Achab him that pisseth against the well, and him that is shut up, and the meanest in Israel.
8καὶ ἐκ χειρὸς ὅλου τοῦ οἴκου Ἀχαὰβ καὶ ἐξολοθρεύσεις τῷ οἴκῳ Ἀχαὰβ οὐροῦντα πρὸς τοῖχον καὶ συνεχόμενον καὶ ἐγκαταλελειμμένον ἐν Ἰσραήλ·
9And I will make the house of Achab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and like the house of Baasa the son of Ahias.
9καὶ δώσω τὸν οἶκον Ἀχαὰβ ὡς τὸν οἶκον Ἱεροβοὰμ υἱοῦ Ναβὰτ καὶ ὡς τὸν οἶκον Βαασὰ υἱοῦ Ἀχιά·
10And the dogs shall eat Jezabel in the field of Jezrahel, and there shall be no one to bury her. And he opened the door and fled.
10καὶ τὴν Ἰεζάβελ καταφάγονται οἱ κύνες ἐν τῇ μερίδι Ἰεζράελ, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ θάπτων. καὶ ἤνοιξε τὴν θύραν καὶ ἔφυγε.
11Then Jehu went forth to the servants of his lord: and they said to him: Are all things well? why came this mad man to thee? And he said to them: You know the man, and what he said.
11καὶ Ἰοὺ ἐξῆλθε πρὸς τοὺς παῖδας τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ· εἰρήνη; τί ὅτι εἰσῆλθεν ὁ ἐπίληπτος οὗτος πρὸς σέ; καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ὑμεῖς οἴδατε τὸν ἄνδρα καὶ τὴν ἀδολεσχίαν αὐτοῦ.
12But they answered: It is false, but rather do thou tell us. And he said to them: Thus and thus did he speak to me: and he said: Thus saith the Lord: I have anointed thee king over Israel.
12καὶ εἶπον· ἄδικον· ἀπάγγειλον δὴ ἡμῖν. καὶ εἶπεν Ἰοὺ πρὸς αὐτούς· οὕτω καὶ οὕτω ἐλάλησε πρός με λέγων· τάδε λέγει Κύριος· κέχρικά σε εἰς βασιλέα ἐπὶ Ἰσραήλ.
13Then they made haste and taking every man his garment laid it under his feet, after the manner of a judgment seat, and they sounded the trumpet, and said: Jehu is king.
13καὶ ἀκούσαντες ἔσπευσαν καὶ ἔλαβεν ἕκαστος τὸ ἱμάτιον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔθηκαν ὑποκάτω αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸ γαρὲμ τῶν ἀναβαθμῶν καὶ ἐσάλπισαν ἐν κερατίνῃ καὶ εἶπαν· ἐβασίλευσεν Ἰού.
14So Jehu the son of Josaphat the son of Namsi conspired against Joram. Now Joram had besieged Ramoth Galaad, he and all Israel fighting with Hazael king of Syria:
14καὶ συνεστράφη Ἰοὺ υἱὸς Ἰωσαφὰτ υἱοῦ Ναμεσσὶ πρὸς Ἰωρὰμ καὶ Ἰωρὰμ αὐτὸς ἐφύλασσεν ἐν Ρεμμὼθ Γαλαάδ, αὐτὸς καὶ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ ἀπὸ προσώπου Ἀζαὴλ βασιλέως Συρίας,
15And was returned to be healed in Jezrahel of his wounds, for the Syrians had wounded him, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria. And Jehu said: If it please you, let no mall go forth or flee out of the city, lest he go, and tell in Jezrahel.
15καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν Ἰωρὰμ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἰατρευθῆναι ἐν Ἰεζράελ ἀπὸ τῶν πληγῶν, ὧν ἔπαισαν αὐτὸν οἱ Σύριοι ἐν τῷ πολεμεῖν αὐτὸν μετὰ Ἀζαὴλ βασιλέως Συρίας· καὶ εἶπεν Ἰού· εἰ ἔστι ψυχὴ ὑμῶν μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ, μὴ ἐξελθέτω ἐκ τῆς πόλεως διαπεφευγὼς τοῦ πορευθῆναι καὶ ἀπαγγεῖλαι ἐν Ἰεζράελ.
16And he got up, and went into Jezrahel: for Joram was sick there, and Ochozias king of Juda was come down to visit Joram.
16καὶ ἵππευσε καὶ ἐπορεύθη Ἰοὺ καὶ κατέβη εἰς Ἰεζράελ, ὅτι Ἰωρὰμ βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ ἐθαραπεύετο ἐν τῷ Ἰεζράελ ἀπὸ τῶν τοξευμάτων, ὧν κατετόξευσαν αὐτὸν οἱ Ἀραμὶν ἐν τῇ Ραμμὰθ ἐν τῷ πολέμῳ μετὰ Ἀζαὴλ βασιλέως Συρίας, ὅτι αὐτὸς δυνατὸς καὶ ἀνὴρ δυνάμεως, καὶ Ὀχοζίας βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα κατέβη ἰδεῖν τὸν Ἰωράμ.
17The watchmen therefore, that stood upon the tower of Jezrahel, saw the troop of Jehu coming, and said: I see a troop. And Joram said: Take a chariot, and send to meet them, and let him that goeth say: Is all well?
17καὶ ὁ σκοπὸς ἀνέβη ἐπὶ τὸν πύργον Ἰεζράελ καὶ εἶδε τὸν κονιορτὸν Ἰοὺ ἐν τῷ παραγίνεσθαι αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπε· κονιορτὸν ἐγὼ βλέπω. καὶ εἶπεν Ἰωράμ· λαβὲ ἐπιβάτην καὶ ἀπόστειλον ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν, καὶ εἰπάτω, εἰ εἰρήνη.
18So there went one in a chariot to meet him, and said: Thus saith the king: Are all things peaceable? And Jehu said: What hast thou to do with peace? go behind and follow me. And the watchman told, saying: The messenger came to them, but he returneth not.
18καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐπιβάτης ἵππου εἰς ἀπαντὴν αὐτῶν καὶ εἶπε· τάδε λέγει ὁ βασιλεύς, εἰ εἰρήνη. καὶ εἶπεν Ἰού· τί σοι καὶ εἰρήνη; ἐπίστρεφε εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω μου. καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν ὁ σκοπὸς λέγων· ἦλθεν ὁ ἄγγελος ἕως αὐτῶν καὶ οὐκ ἀνέστρεψε.
19And he sent a second chariot of horses: and he came to them, and said: Thus saith the king: Is there peace? And Jehu said: What hast thou to do with peace? pass, and follow me.
19καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἐπιβάτην ἵππου δεύτερον, καὶ ἦλθε πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπε· τάδε λέγει ὁ βασιλεύς· εἰ εἰρήνη. καὶ εἶπεν Ἰού· τί σοι καὶ εἰρήνη; ἐπιστρέφου εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω μου.
20And the watchman told, saying: He came even to them, but returneth not: and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Namsi, for he drives furiously.
20καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν ὁ σκοπὸς λέγων· ἦλθεν ἕως αὐτῶν καὶ οὐκ ἀνέστρεψε· καὶ ὁ ἄγων ἦγε τὸν Ἰοὺ υἱὸν Ναμεσσί, ὅτι ἐν παραλλαγῇ ἐγένετο.
21And Joram said: Make ready the chariot. And they made ready his chariot, and Joram king of Israel, and Ochozias king of Juda went out, each in his chariot, and they went out to meet Jehu, and met him in the field of Naboth the Jezrahelite.
21καὶ εἶπεν Ἰωράμ· ζεῦξον· καὶ ἔζευξεν ἅρμα. καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ἰωρὰμ βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ καὶ Ὀχοζίας βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα, ἀνὴρ ἐν τῷ ἅρματι αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐξῆλθον εἰς ἀπαντὴν Ἰοὺ καὶ εὗρον αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ μερίδι Ναβουθαὶ τοῦ Ἰεζραηλίτου.
22And when Joram saw Jehu, he said: Is there peace, Jehu? And he answered: What peace? so long as the fornications of Jezabel thy mother, and her many sorceries are in their vigour.
22καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς εἶδεν Ἰωρὰμ τὸν Ἰού, καὶ εἶπεν· εἰ εἰρήνη Ἰού; καὶ εἶπεν Ἰού· τί εἰρήνη; ἔτι αἱ πορνεῖαι Ἰεζάβελ τῆς μητρός σου καὶ τὰ φάρμακα αὐτῆς τὰ πολλά.
23And Joram turned his hand, and fleeing, said to Ochozias: There is treachery, Ochozias.
23καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν Ἰωρὰμ τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ τοῦ φυγεῖν καὶ εἶπε πρὸς Ὀχοζίαν· δόλος, Ὀχοζία.
24But Jehu bent Iris bow with his hand, and shot Joram between the shoulders: and the arrow went out through his heart, and immediately he fell in his chariot.
24καὶ ἔπλησεν Ἰοὺ τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ τόξῳ καὶ ἐπάταξε τὸν Ἰωρὰμ ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν βραχιόνων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐξῆλθε τὸ βέλος αὐτοῦ διὰ τῆς καρδίας αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔκαμψεν ἐπὶ τὰ γόνατα αὐτοῦ.
25And Jehu said to Badacer his captain: Take him, and cast him into the field of Naboth the Jezrahelite: for I remember when I and thou sitting in a chariot followed Achab this man’s father, that the Lord laid this burden upon him, saying:
25καὶ εἶπε πρὸς Βαδεκὰρ τὸν τριστάτην αὐτοῦ· ρῖψον αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ μερίδι ἀγροῦ Ναβουθαὶ τοῦ Ἰεζραηλίτου· ὅτι μνημονεύω, ἐγὼ καὶ σὺ ἐπιβεβηκότες ἐπὶ ζεύγη ὀπίσω Ἀχαὰβ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ Κύριος ἔλαβεν ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν τὸ λῆμμα τοῦτο λέγων·
26If I do not requite thee in this field, saith the Lord, for the blood of Naboth, and for the blood of his children, which I saw yesterday, saith the Lord. So now take him, and cast him into the field, according to the word of the Lord.
26εἰ μὴ τὰ αἵματα Ναβουθαὶ καὶ τὰ αἵματα τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ εἶδον ἐχθές, φησὶ Κύριος, καὶ ἀνταποδώσω αὐτῷ ἐν τῇ μερίδι ταύτῃ, φησὶ Κύριος· καὶ νῦν ἄρας δὴ ρῖψον αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ μερίδι κατὰ τὸ ρῆμα Κυρίου.
27But Ochozias king of Juda seeing this, fled by the way of the garden house: and Jehu pursued him, and said: Strike him also in his chariot. And they struck him in the going up to Gaver, which is by Jeblaam: and he fled into Mageddo, and died there.
27καὶ Ὀχοζίας βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα εἶδε καὶ ἔφυγεν ὁδὸν Βαιθαγγάν, καὶ ἐδίωξεν ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ Ἰοὺ καὶ εἶπε· καί γε αὐτόν· καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτὸν πρὸς τῷ ἅρματι ἐν τῷ ἀναβαίνειν Γαΐ, ἥ ἐστιν Ἰεβλαάμ, καὶ ἔφυγεν εἰς Μαγεδδὼ καὶ ἀπέθανεν ἐκεῖ.
28And his servants laid him upon his chariot, and carried him to Jerusalem: and they buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers in the city of David.
28καὶ ἐπεβίβασαν αὐτὸν οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸ ἅρμα καὶ ἤγαγον αὐτὸν εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ τάφῳ αὐτοῦ ἐν πόλει Δαυίδ.
29In the eleventh year of Joram the son of Achab, Ochozias reigned over Juda,
29καὶ ἐν ἔτει ἑνδεκάτῳ Ἰωρὰμ βασιλέως Ἰσραὴλ ἐβασίλευσεν Ὀχοζίας ἐπὶ Ἰούδαν.
30And Jehu came into Jezrahel. But Jezabel hearing of his coming in, painted her face with stibic stone, and adorned her head, and looked out of a window
30καὶ ἦλθεν Ἰοὺ ἐπὶ Ἰεζράελ· καὶ Ἰεζάβελ ἤκουσε καὶ ἐστιμίσατο τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῆς καὶ ἠγάθυνε τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτῆς καὶ διέκυψε διὰ τῆς θυρίδος.
31At Jehu coming in at the gate, and said: Can there be peace for Zambri, that hath killed his master?
31καὶ Ἰοὺ εἰσεπορεύετο ἐν τῇ πόλει καὶ εἶπεν· εἰ εἰρήνη, Ζαμβρὶ ὁ φονευτὴς τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ;
32And Jehu lifted up his face to the window, and said: Who is this? And two or three eunuchs bowed down to him.
32καὶ ἐπῆρε τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ εἰς τὴν θυρίδα καὶ εἶδεν αὐτὴν καὶ εἶπε· τί εἶ σύ; κατάβηθι μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ. καὶ κατέκυψαν πρὸς αὐτὸν δύο εὐνοῦχοι·
33And he said to them: Throw her down headlong: and they threw her down, and the wall was sprinkled with her blood, and the hoofs of the horses trod upon her.
33καὶ εἶπε· κυλίσατε αὐτήν, καὶ ἐκύλισαν αὐτήν, καὶ ἐρραντίσθη τοῦ αἵματος αὐτῆς πρὸς τὸν τοῖχον καὶ πρὸς τοὺς ἵππους, καὶ συνεπάτησαν αὐτήν.
34And when he was come in, to eat, and to drink, he said: Go, and see after that cursed woman, and bury her: because she is a king’s daughter.
34καὶ εἰσῆλθε καὶ ἔφαγε καὶ ἔπιε καὶ εἶπεν· ἐπισκέψασθε δὴ τὴν κατηραμένην ταύτην καὶ θάψατε αὐτήν, ὅτι θυγάτηρ βασιλέως ἐστί.
35And when they went to bury her, they found nothing but the skull, and the feet, and the extremities of her hands.
35καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν θάψαι αὐτὴν καὶ οὐχ εὗρον ἐν αὐτῇ ἄλλο τι ἢ τὸ κρανίον καὶ οἱ πόδες καὶ τὰ ἴχνη τῶν χειρῶν.
36And coming back they told him. And Jehu said: It is the word of the Lord, which he spoke by his servant Elias the Thesbite, saying: In the field of Jezrahel the dogs shall eat the flesh of Jezabel,
36καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν καὶ ἀνήγγειλαν αὐτῷ, καὶ εἶπε· λόγος Κυρίου, ὃν ἐλάλησεν ἐν χειρὶ Ἠλιοὺ τοῦ Θεσβίτου λέγων· ἐν τῇ μερίδι Ἰεζράελ καταφάγονται οἱ κύνες τὰς σάρκας Ἰεζάβελ,
37And the flesh of Jezabel shall be as dung upon the face of the earth in the field of Jezrahel, so that they who pass by shall say: Is this that same Jezabel?
37καὶ ἔσται τὸ θνησιμαῖον Ἰεζάβελ ὡς κοπρία ἐπὶ προσώπου τοῦ ἀγροῦ ἐν τῇ μερίδι Ἰεζράελ, ὥστε μὴ εἰπεῖν αὐτοὺς Ἰεζάβελ.
