1ΚΑΙ ἐγενήθη τῷ Ἰωσαφὰτ ἔτι πλοῦτος καὶ δόξα πολλή, καὶ ἐπεγαμβρεύσατο ἐν οἴκῳ Ἀχαάβ.
1Now Josaphat was rich and very glorious, and was joined by affinity to Achab.
2καὶ κατέβη διὰ τέλους ἐτῶν πρὸς Ἀχαὰβ εἰς Σαμάρειαν· καὶ ἔθυσεν αὐτῷ Ἀχαὰβ πρόβατα καὶ μόσχους πολλοὺς καὶ τῷ λαῷ τῷ μετ' αὐτοῦ καὶ ἠγάπα αὐτὸν τοῦ συναναβῆναι μετ' αὐτοῦ εἰς Ραμὼθ τῆς Γαλααδίτιδος.
2And he went down to him after some years to Samaria: and Achab at his coming killed sheep and oxen in abundance for him and the people that came with him: and he persuaded him to go up to Ramoth Galaad.
3καὶ εἶπεν Ἀχαὰβ βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς Ἰωσαφὰτ βασιλέα Ἰούδα· εἰ πορεύσῃ μετ' ἐμοῦ εἰς Ραμὼθ τῆς Γαλααδίτιδος; καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ὡς ἐγώ, οὕτω καὶ σύ· ὡς ὁ λαός σου καὶ ὁ λαός μου μετὰ σοῦ εἰς πόλεμον.
3And Achab king of Israel said to Josaphat king of Juda: Come with me to Ramoth Galaad. And he answered him: Thou art as I am, and my people as thy people, and we will be with thee in the war.
4καὶ εἶπεν Ἰωσαφὰτ πρὸς βασιλέα Ἰσραήλ· ζήτησον δὴ σήμερον τὸν Κύριον.
4And Josaphat said to the king of Israel: Inquire, I beseech thee, at present the word of the Lord.
5καὶ συνήγαγεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ τοὺς προφήτας τετρακοσίους ἄνδρας καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· εἰ πορευθῶ εἰς Ραμὼθ Γαλαὰδ εἰς πόλεμον ἢ ἐπίσχω; καὶ εἶπαν· ἀνάβαινε, καὶ δώσει ὁ Θεὸς εἰς τὰς χεῖρας τοῦ βασιλέως.
5So the king of Israel gathered together of the prophets four hundred men, and he said to them: Shall we go to Ramoth Galaad to fight, or shall we forbear? But they said: Go up, and God will deliver it into the king’s hand.
6καὶ εἶπεν Ἰωσαφάτ· οὐκ ἔστιν ὧδε προφήτης τοῦ Κυρίου ἔτι καὶ ἐπιζητήσομεν παρ' αὐτοῦ;
6And Josaphat said: Is there not here a prophet of the Lord, that we may inquire also of him?
7καὶ εἶπε βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς Ἰωσαφάτ· ἔτι ἀνὴρ εἷς τοῦ ζητῆσαι τὸν Κύριον δι' αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐγὼ ἐμίσησα αὐτόν, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστι προφητεύων περὶ ἐμοῦ εἰς ἀγαθά, ὅτι πᾶσαι αἱ ἡμέραι αὐτοῦ εἰς κακά, οὗτος Μιχαίας υἱὸς Ἰεμβλά. καὶ εἶπεν Ἰωσαφάτ· μὴ λαλείτω ὁ βασιλεὺς οὕτως·
7And the king of Israel said to Josaphat: There is one man, of whom we may ask the will of the Lord: but I hate him, for he never prophesieth good to me, but always evil: and it is Micheas the son of Jemla. And Josaphat said: Speak not thus, O king.
8καὶ ἐκάλεσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς εὐνοῦχον ἕνα καὶ εἶπε· τάχος Μιχαίαν υἱὸν Ἰεμβλά.
8And the king of Israel called one of the eunuchs, and said to him: Call quickly Micheas the son of Jemla.
9καὶ βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ καὶ Ἰωσαφὰτ βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα καθήμενοι ἕκαστος ἐπὶ θρόνου αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐνδεδυμένοι στολάς, καθήμενοι ἐν τῷ εὐρυχώρῳ θύρας πύλης Σαμαρείας, καὶ πάντες οἱ προφῆται ἐπροφήτευον ἐναντίον αὐτῶν.
9Now the king of Israel, and Josaphat king of Juda, both sat on their thrones, clothed in royal robes, and they sat in the open court by the gate of Samaria, and all the prophets prophesied before them.
10καὶ ἐποίησεν ἑαυτῷ Σεδεκίας υἱὸς Χαναὰν κέρατα σιδηρᾶ καὶ εἶπε· τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ἐν τούτοις κερατιεῖς τὴν Συρίαν ἕως ἂν συντελεσθῇ.
10And Sedecias the son of Chanaana made him horns of iron, and said: Thus saith the Lord: With these shalt thou push Syria, till thou destroy it.
11καὶ πάντες οἱ προφῆται ἐπροφήτευον οὕτω λέγοντες· ἀνάβαινε εἰς Ραμὼθ Γαλαὰδ καὶ εὐοδωθήσῃ, καὶ δώσει Κύριος εἰς χεῖρας τοῦ βασιλέως.
11And all the prophets prophesied in like manner, and said: Go up to Ramoth Galaad, and thou shalt prosper, and the Lord will deliver them into the king’s hand.
12καὶ ὁ ἄγγελος ὁ πορευθεὶς τοῦ καλέσαι τὸν Μιχαίαν ἐλάλησεν αὐτῷ λέγων· ἰδοὺ ἐλάλησαν οἱ προφῆται ἐν στόματι ἑνὶ ἀγαθὰ περὶ τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ ἔστωσαν δὴ οἱ λόγοι σου ὡς ἑνὸς αὐτῶν, καὶ λαλήσεις ἀγαθά.
12And the messenger that went to call Micheas, said to him: Behold the words of all the prophets with one mouth declare good to the king: I beseech thee therefore let not thy word disagree with them, and speak thou also good success.
13καὶ εἶπε Μιχαίας· ζῇ Κύριος, ὅτι ὃ ἐὰν εἴπῃ ὁ Θεὸς πρός με, αὐτὸ λαλήσω.
13And Micheas answered him: As the Lord liveth, whatsoever my God shall say to me, that will I speak.
14καὶ ἦλθε πρὸς τόν βασιλέα, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ βασιλεύς· Μιχαία, εἰ πορευθῶ εἰς Ραμὼθ Γαλαὰδ εἰς πόλεμον ἢ ἐπίσχω; καὶ εἶπεν· ἀνάβαινε καὶ εὐοδώσεις, καὶ δοθήσονται εἰς χεῖρας ὑμῶν.
14So he came to the king: and the king said to him: Micheas, shall we go to Ramoth Galaad to fight, or forbear? And he answered him: Go up, for all shall succeed prosperously, and the enemies shall be delivered into your hands.
15καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ βασιλεύς· ποσάκις ὁρκίζω σε ἵνα μὴ λαλήσῃς πρός με πλὴν τὴν ἀλήθειαν ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου;
15And the king said: I adjure thee again and again to say nothing but the truth to me, in the name of the Lord.
16καὶ εἶπεν· εἶδον τὸν Ἰσραὴλ διεσπαρμένους ἐν τοῖς ὄρεσιν ὡς πρόβατα, οἷς οὐκ ἔστι ποιμήν, καὶ εἶπε Κύριος· οὐκ ἔχουσιν ἡγούμενον οὗτοι, ἀναστρεφέτωσαν ἕκαστος εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ ἐν εἰρήνῃ.
16Then he said: I saw all Israel scattered in the mountains, like sheep without a shepherd: and the Lord said: These have no masters: let every man return to his own house in peace.
17καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς Ἰωσαφάτ· οὐκ εἶπόν σοι, ὅτι οὐ προφητεύει περὶ ἐμοῦ ἀγαθά, ἀλλ' ἢ κακά;
17And the king of Israel said to Josaphat: Did I not tell thee that this man would not prophesy me any good, but evil?
18καὶ εἶπεν· οὐχ οὕτως· ἀκούσατε λόγον Κυρίου· εἶδον τὸν Κύριον καθήμενον ἐπὶ θρόνου αὐτοῦ, καὶ πᾶσα δύναμις τοῦ οὐρανοῦ παρειστήκει ἐκ δεξιῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐξ ἀριστερῶν αὐτοῦ.
18Then he said: Hear ye therefore the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the army of heaven standing by him on the right hand and on the left.
19καὶ εἶπε Κύριος· τίς ἀπατήσει τὸν Ἀχαὰβ βασιλέα Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἀναβήσεται καὶ πεσεῖται ἐν Ραμὼθ Γαλαάδ; καὶ οὗτος εἶπεν οὕτως, καὶ οὗτος εἶπεν οὕτως.
19And the Lord said: Who shall deceive Achab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall in Ramoth Galaad? And when one spoke in this manner, and another otherwise:
20καὶ ἐξῆλθε τὸ πνεῦμα καὶ ἔστη ἐνώπιον Κυρίου καὶ εἶπεν· ἐγὼ ἀπατήσω αὐτόν. καὶ εἶπε Κύριος· ἐν τίνι;
20There came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said: I will deceive him. And the Lord said to him: By what means wilt thou deceive him?
21καὶ εἶπεν· ἐξελεύσομαι καὶ ἔσομαι πνεῦμα ψευδὲς ἐν στόματι πάντων τῶν προφητῶν αὐτοῦ. καὶ εἶπεν· ἀπατήσεις καὶ δυνήσῃ, ἔξελθε καὶ ποίησον οὕτω.
21And he answered: I will go out, and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the Lord said: Thou shalt deceive, and shalt prevail: go out, and do so.
22καὶ νῦν ἰδοὺ ἔδωκε Κύριος πνεῦμα ψευδὲς ἐν στόματι τῶν προφητῶν σου τούτων, καὶ Κύριος ἐλάλησεν ἐπὶ σὲ κακά.
22Now therefore behold the Lord hath put a spirit of lying in the mouth of all thy prophets, and the Lord hath spoken evil against thee.
23καὶ ἤγγισε Σεδεκίας υἱὸς Χαναὰν καὶ ἐπάταξε τὸν Μιχαίαν ἐπὶ τὴν σιαγόνα καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ποίᾳ τῇ ὁδῷ παρῆλθε πνεῦμα Κυρίου παρ' ἐμοῦ τοῦ λαλῆσαι πρός σε;
23And Sedecias the son of Chanaana came, and struck Micheas on the cheek and said: Which way went the spirit of the Lord from me, to speak to thee?
24καὶ εἶπε Μιχαίας· ἰδοὺ ὄψῃ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, ἐν ᾗ εἰσελεύσῃ ταμιεῖον ἐκ ταμιείου τοῦ κατακρυβῆναι.
24And Micheas said: Thou thyself shalt see in that day, when thou shalt go in from chamber to chamber, to hide thyself.
25καὶ εἶπε βασιλεὺς Ἰσραήλ· λάβετε τὸν Μιχαίαν καὶ ἀποστρέψατε πρὸς Ἐμὴρ ἄρχοντα τῆς πόλεως καὶ πρὸς Ἰωὰς ἄρχοντα υἱὸν τοῦ βασιλέως
25And the king of Israel commanded, saying: Take Micheas, and carry him to Amen the governor of the city, and to Joas the son of Amelech,
26καὶ ἐρεῖτε· οὕτως εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς· ἀπόθεσθε τοῦτον εἰς οἶκον φυλακῆς, καὶ ἐσθιέτω ἄρτον θλίψεως καὶ ὕδωρ θλίψεως ἕως τοῦ ἐπιστρέψαι με ἐν εἰρήνῃ.
26And say: Thus saith the king: Put this fellow in prison, and give him bread and water in a small quantity till I return in peace.
27καὶ εἶπε Μιχαίας· ἐὰν ἐπιστρέφων ἐπιστρέψῃς ἐν εἰρήνῃ, οὐκ ἐλάλησε Κύριος ἐν ἐμοί· ἀκούσατε λαοὶ πάντες.
27And Micheas said: If thou return in peace, the Lord hath not spoken by me. And he said: Hear, all ye people.
28Καὶ ἀνέβη βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ καὶ Ἰωσαφὰτ βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα εἰς Ραμὼθ Γαλαάδ.
28So the king of Israel and Josaphat king of Juda went up to Ramoth Galaad.
29καὶ εἶπε βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς Ἰωσαφάτ· κατακάλυψόν με καὶ εἰσελεύσομαι εἰς τὸν πόλεμον, καὶ σὺ ἔνδυσαι τὸν ἱματισμόν μου· καὶ συνεκαλύψατο βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸν πόλεμον.
29And the king of Israel said to Josaphat: I will change my dress, and so I will go to the battle, but put thou on thy own garments. And the king of Israel having changed his dress, went to the battle.
30καὶ βασιλεὺς Συρίας ἐνετείλατο τοῖς ἄρχουσι τῶν ἁρμάτων τοῖς μετ' αὐτοῦ λέγων· μὴ πολεμεῖτε τὸν μικρὸν καὶ τὸν μέγαν, ἀλλ' ἢ τὸν βασιλέα Ἰσραὴλ μόνον.
30Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of his cavalry, saying: Fight ye not with small, or great, but with the king of Israel only.
31καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς εἶδον οἱ ἄρχοντες τῶν ἁρμάτων τὸν Ἰωσαφάτ, καὶ αὐτοὶ εἶπαν· βασιλεὺς Ἰσραήλ ἐστι, καὶ ἐκύκλωσαν αὐτὸν τοῦ πολεμεῖν· καὶ ἐβόησεν Ἰωσαφάτ, καὶ Κύριος ἔσωσεν αὐτόν, καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν αὐτοὺς ὁ Θεὸς ἀπ' αὐτοῦ.
31So when the captains of the cavalry saw Josaphat, they said: This is the king of Israel. And they surrounded him to attack him: but he cried to the Lord, and he helped him, and turned them away from him.
32καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς εἶδον οἱ ἄρχοντες τῶν ἁρμάτων ὅτι οὐκ ἦν βασιλεὺς Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἀπέστρεψαν ἀπ' αὐτοῦ.
32For when the captains of the cavalry saw, that he was not the king of Israel, they left him.
33καὶ ἀνὴρ ἔτεινε τόξον εὐστόχως καὶ ἐπάταξε τὸν βασιλέα Ἰσραὴλ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ πνεύμονος καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ θώρακος. καὶ εἶπε τῷ ἡνιόχῳ· ἐπίστρεφε τὴν χεῖρά σου καὶ ἐξάγαγέ με ἐκ τοῦ πολέμου, ὅτι ἐπόνεσα.
33And it happened that one of the people shot an arrow at a venture, and struck the king of Israel between the neck and the shoulders, and he said to his chariot man: Turn thy hand, and carry me out of the battle, for I am wounded.
34καὶ ἐτροπώθη ὁ πόλεμος ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ· καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ ἦν ἑστηκὼς ἐπὶ τοῦ ἅρματος ἐξεναντίας Συρίας ἕως ἑσπέρας καὶ ἀπέθανε δύνοντος τοῦ ἡλίου.
34And the fight was ended that day: but the king of Israel stood in his chariot against the Syrians until the evening, and died at the sunset.
