1ΚΑΙ μετὰ ταῦτα ἦλθον οἱ υἱοὶ Μωάβ, καὶ υἱοὶ Ἀμμὼν καὶ μετ' αὐτῶν ἐκ τῶν Μιναίων πρὸς Ἰωσαφὰτ εἰς πόλεμον.
1After this, the children of Moab, the children of Ammon, and with them some of the Meunites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle.
2καὶ ἦλθον καὶ ὑπέδειξαν τῷ Ἰωσαφὰτ λέγοντες· ἥκει ἐπὶ σὲ πλῆθος πολὺ ἐκ πέραν τῆς θαλάσσης ἀπὸ Συρίας, καὶ ἰδού εἰσιν ἐν Ἀσασὰν Θαμὰρ (αὕτη ἐστὶν Ἐγγαδί).
2Then some came who told Jehoshaphat, saying, “A great multitude is coming against you from beyond the sea from Syria. Behold, they are in Hazazon Tamar” (that is, En Gedi).
3καὶ ἐφοβήθη καὶ ἔδωκεν Ἰωσαφὰτ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἐκζητῆσαι τὸν Κύριον καὶ ἐκήρυξε νηστείαν ἐν παντὶ Ἰούδᾳ.
3Jehoshaphat was alarmed, and set himself to seek the LORD. He proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.
4καὶ συνήχθη Ἰούδας ἐκζητῆσαι τὸν Κύριον, καὶ ἀπὸ πασῶν τῶν πόλεων Ἰούδα ἦλθον ζητῆσαι τὸν Κύριον.
4Judah gathered themselves together to seek help from the LORD. They came out of all the cities of Judah to seek the LORD.
5καὶ ἀνέστη Ἰωσαφὰτ ἐν ἐκκλησίᾳ Ἰούδα ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου κατὰ πρόσωπον τῆς αὐλῆς τῆς καινῆς
5Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the LORD’s house, before the new court;
6καὶ εἶπε· Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς τῶν πατέρων μου, οὐχὶ σὺ εἶ Θεὸς ἐν οὐρανῷ ἄνω καὶ σὺ κυριεύεις πασῶν τῶν βασιλειῶν τῶν ἐθνῶν καὶ ἐν τῇ χειρί σου ἰσχὺς δυναστείας καὶ οὐκ ἔστι πρός σε ἀντιστῆναι;
6and he said, “LORD, the God of our fathers, aren’t you God in heaven? Aren’t you ruler over all the kingdoms of the nations? Power and might are in your hand, so that no one is able to withstand you.
7οὐχὶ σὺ ὁ Κύριος ὁ ἐξολοθρεύσας τοὺς κατοικοῦντας τὴν γῆν ταύτην ἀπὸ προσώπου τοῦ λαοῦ σου Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἔδωκας αὐτὴν σπέρματι Ἁβραὰμ τῷ ἠγαπημένῳ σου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα;
7Didn’t you, our God, drive out the inhabitants of this land before your people Israel, and give it to the offspring of Abraham your friend forever?
8καὶ κατῴκησαν ἐν αὐτῇ καὶ ᾠκοδόμησαν ἐν αὐτῇ ἁγίασμα τῷ ὀνόματί σου λέγοντες·
8They lived in it, and have built you a sanctuary in it for your name, saying,
9ἐὰν ἐπέλθῃ ἐφ' ἡμᾶς κακά, ρομφαία, κρίσις, θάνατος, λιμός, στησόμεθα ἐναντίον τοῦ οἴκου τούτου καὶ ἐναντίον σου, ὅτι τὸ ὄνομά σου ἐπὶ τῷ οἴκῳ τούτῳ, καὶ βοησόμεθα πρὸς σὲ ἀπὸ τῆς θλίψεως, καὶ ἀκούσῃ καὶ σώσεις.
9‘If evil comes on us—the sword, judgment, pestilence, or famine—we will stand before this house, and before you (for your name is in this house), and cry to you in our affliction, and you will hear and save.’
10καὶ νῦν ἰδοὺ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἀμμὼν καὶ Μωὰβ καὶ ὄρος Σηείρ, εἰς οὓς οὐκ ἔδωκας τῷ Ἰσραὴλ διελθεῖν δι' αὐτῶν, ἐξελθόντων αὐτῶν ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου, ὅτι ἐξέκλιναν ἀπ' αὐτῶν καὶ οὐκ ἐξωλόθρευσαν αὐτούς.
10Now, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir, whom you would not let Israel invade when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned away from them, and didn’t destroy them;
11καὶ νῦν ἰδοὺ αὐτοὶ ἐπιχειροῦσιν ἐφ' ἡμᾶς ἐξελθεῖν ἐκβαλεῖν ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ τῆς κληρονομίας ἡμῶν, ἧς ἔδωκας ἡμῖν.
11behold, how they reward us, to come to cast us out of your possession, which you have given us to inherit.
12Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, οὐ κρινεῖς ἐν αὐτοῖς; ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἡμῖν ἰσχὺς τοῦ ἀντιστῆναι πρὸς τὸ πλῆθος τὸ πολὺ τοῦτο τὸ ἐλθὸν ἐφ' ἡμᾶς, καὶ οὐκ οἴδαμεν τί ποιήσωμεν αὐτοῖς, ἀλλ' ἢ ἐπὶ σοὶ οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ ἡμῶν.
12Our God, will you not judge them? For we have no might against this great company that comes against us. We don’t know what to do, but our eyes are on you.”
13καὶ πᾶς Ἰούδας ἑστηκὼς ἔναντι Κυρίου, καὶ τὰ παιδία αὐτῶν καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες αὐτῶν.
13All Judah stood before the LORD, with their little ones, their wives, and their children.
14καὶ τῷ Ὀζιὴλ τῷ τοῦ Ζαχαρίου τῶν υἱῶν Βαναίου τῶν υἱῶν Ἐλεϊὴλ τοῦ Ματθανίου τοῦ Λευίτου ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Ἀσάφ, ἐγένετο ἐπ' αὐτὸν πνεῦμα Κυρίου ἐν τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ
14Then the LORD’s Spirit came on Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, the Levite, of the sons of Asaph, in the middle of the assembly;
15καὶ εἶπεν· ἀκούσατε πᾶς Ἰούδα καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰωσαφάτ· τάδε λέγει Κύριος ὑμῖν αὐτοῖς· μὴ φοβεῖσθε μηδὲ πτοηθῆτε ἀπὸ προσώπου τοῦ ὄχλου τοῦ πολλοῦ τούτου, ὅτι οὐχ ὑμῖν ἐστιν ἡ παράταξις, ἀλλ' ἢ τῷ Θεῷ.
15and he said, “Listen, all Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you, King Jehoshaphat. The LORD says to you, ‘Don’t be afraid, and don’t be dismayed because of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s.
16αὔριον κατάβητε ἐπ' αὐτούς· ἰδοὺ ἀναβαίνουσι κατὰ τὴν ἀνάβασιν Ἀσάς, καὶ εὑρήσετε αὐτοὺς ἐπ' ἄκρου ποταμοῦ τῆς ἐρήμου Ἰεριήλ.
16Tomorrow, go down against them. Behold, they are coming up by the ascent of Ziz. You will find them at the end of the valley, before the wilderness of Jeruel.
17οὐχ ὑμῖν ἐστι πολεμῆσαι· ταῦτα σύνετε καὶ ἴδετε τὴν σωτηρίαν Κυρίου μεθ' ὑμῶν, Ἰούδα καὶ Ἱερουσαλήμ· μὴ φοβηθῆτε μηδὲ πτοηθῆτε αὔριον ἐξελθεῖν εἰς ἀπάντησιν αὐτοῖς, καὶ Κύριος μεθ' ὑμῶν.
17You will not need to fight this battle. Set yourselves, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem. Don’t be afraid, nor be dismayed. Go out against them tomorrow, for the LORD is with you.’”
18καὶ κύψας Ἰωσαφὰτ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ καὶ πᾶς Ἰούδα καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἔπεσαν ἔναντι Κυρίου προσκυνῆσαι Κυρίῳ.
18Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground; and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell down before the LORD, worshiping the LORD.
19καὶ ἀνέστησαν οἱ Λευῖται ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Καὰθ καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Κορὲ αἰνεῖν Κυρίῳ Θεῷ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ εἰς ὕψος.
19The Levites, of the children of the Kohathites and of the children of the Korahites, stood up to praise the LORD, the God of Israel, with an exceedingly loud voice.
20Καὶ ὤρθρισαν πρωΐ καὶ ἐξῆλθον εἰς τὴν ἔρημον Θεκωέ, καὶ ἐν τῷ ἐξελθεῖν αὐτοὺς ἔστη Ἰωσαφὰτ καὶ ἐβόησε καὶ εἶπεν· ἀκούσατέ μου Ἰούδα καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ· ἐμπιστεύσατε ἐν Κυρίῳ Θεῷ ἡμῶν, καὶ ἐμπιστευθήσεσθε· ἐμπιστεύσατε ἐν προφήτῃ αὐτοῦ, καὶ εὐοδωθήσεσθε.
20They rose early in the morning and went out into the wilderness of Tekoa. As they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Listen to me, Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem! Believe in the LORD your God, so you will be established! Believe his prophets, so you will prosper.”
21καὶ ἐβουλεύσατο μετὰ τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ ἔστησε ψαλτῳδοὺς καὶ αἰνοῦντας ἐξομολογεῖσθαι καὶ αἰνεῖν τὰ ἅγια ἐν τῷ ἐξελθεῖν ἔμπροσθεν τῆς δυνάμεως, καὶ ἔλεγον· ἐξομολογεῖσθε τῷ Κυρίῳ, ὅτι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ.
21When he had taken counsel with the people, he appointed those who were to sing to the LORD and give praise in holy array as they go out before the army, and say, “Give thanks to the LORD, for his loving kindness endures forever.”
22καὶ ἐν τῷ ἄρξασθαι αὐτοὺς τῆς αἰνέσεως καὶ τῆς ἐξομολογήσεως ἔδωκε Κύριος πολεμεῖν τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἀμμὼν ἐπὶ Μωὰβ καὶ ὄρος Σηεὶρ τοὺς ἐξελθόντας ἐπὶ Ἰούδαν, καὶ ἐτροπώθησαν.
22When they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushers against the children of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were struck.
23καὶ ἀνέστησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἀμμὼν καὶ Μωὰβ ἐπὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ὄρος Σηεὶρ ἐξολοθρεῦσαι καὶ ἐκτρῖψαι αὐτούς· καὶ ὡς συνετέλεσαν τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Σηείρ, ἀνέστησαν εἰς ἀλλήλους τοῦ ἐξολοθρευθῆναι.
23For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir to utterly kill and destroy them. When they had finished the inhabitants of Seir, everyone helped to destroy each other.
24καὶ Ἰούδας ἦλθεν ἐπὶ τὴν σκοπιὰν τῆς ἐρήμου καὶ ἐπέβλεψε καὶ εἶδε τὸ πλῆθος, καὶ ἰδοὺ πάντες νεκροὶ πεπτωκότες ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, οὐκ ἦν σωζόμενος.
24When Judah came to the place overlooking the wilderness, they looked at the multitude; and behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and there were none who escaped.
25καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ἰωσαφὰτ καὶ ὁ λαὸς αὐτοῦ σκυλεῦσαι τὰ σκῦλα αὐτῶν καὶ εὗρον κτήνη πολλὰ καὶ ἀποσκευὴν καὶ σκῦλα καὶ σκεύη ἐπιθυμητὰ καὶ ἐσκύλευσαν ἐν αὐτοῖς. καὶ ἐγένοντο ἡμέραι τρεῖς σκυλευόντων αὐτῶν τὰ σκῦλα, ὅτι πολλὰ ἦν.
25When Jehoshaphat and his people came to take their plunder, they found among them in abundance both riches and dead bodies with precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away. They took plunder for three days, it was so much.
26καὶ ἐγένετο τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τετάρτῃ ἐπισυνήχθησαν εἰς τὸν αὐλῶνα τῆς εὐλογίας, ἐκεῖ γὰρ ηὐλόγησαν τὸν Κύριον· διὰ τοῦτο ἐκάλεσαν τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου Κοιλὰς εὐλογίας ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης.
26On the fourth day, they assembled themselves in Beracah Valley, for there they blessed the LORD. Therefore the name of that place was called “Beracah Valley” to this day.
27καὶ ἐπέστρεψε πᾶς ἀνὴρ Ἰούδα εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ Ἰωσαφὰτ ἡγούμενος αὐτῶν ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ μεγάλῃ, ὅτι εὔφρανεν αὐτοὺς Κύριος ἀπὸ τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτῶν,
27Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, with Jehoshaphat in front of them, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for the LORD had made them to rejoice over their enemies.
28καὶ εἰσῆλθον εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐν νάβλαις καὶ κινύραις καὶ ἐν σάλπιγξιν εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου.
28They came to Jerusalem with stringed instruments, harps, and trumpets to the LORD’s house.
29καὶ ἐγένετο ἔκστασις Κυρίου ἐπὶ πάσας τὰς βασιλείας τῆς γῆς ἐν τῷ ἀκοῦσαι αὐτοὺς ὅτι Κύριος ἐπολέμησε πρὸς τοὺς ὑπεναντίους Ἰσραήλ.
29The fear of God was on all the kingdoms of the countries when they heard that the LORD fought against the enemies of Israel.
30καὶ εἰρήνευσεν ἡ βασιλεία Ἰωσαφάτ, καὶ κατέπαυσεν αὐτῷ ὁ Θεὸς αὐτοῦ κυκλόθεν.
30So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet, for his God gave him rest all around.
31Καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ἰωσαφὰτ ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰούδαν, ὢν ἐτῶν τριακονταπέντε ἐν τῷ βασιλεῦσαι αὐτόν, καὶ εἴκοσι καὶ πέντε ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ, καὶ ὄνομα τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ Ἀζουβὰ θυγάτηρ Σαλί.
31So Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah. He was thirty-five years old when he began to reign. He reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
32καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ Ἀσὰ καὶ οὐκ ἐξέκλινε τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὸ εὐθὲς ἐνώπιον Κυρίου·
32He walked in the way of Asa his father, and didn’t turn away from it, doing that which was right in the LORD’s eyes.
33ἀλλὰ τὰ ὑψηλὰ ἔτι ὑπῆρχε, καὶ ἔτι ὁ λαὸς οὐ κατεύθυνε τὴν καρδίαν αὐτῶν πρὸς Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν.
33However the high places were not taken away, and the people had still not set their hearts on the God of their fathers.
34καὶ οἱ λοιποὶ λόγοι Ἰωσαφὰτ οἱ πρῶτοι καὶ οἱ ἔσχατοι ἰδοὺ γεγραμμένοι ἐν λόγοις Ἰοὺ τοῦ Ἀνανί, ὃς κατέγραψε βιβλίον βασιλέων Ἰσραήλ.
34Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, behold, they are written in the history of Jehu the son of Hanani, which is included in the book of the kings of Israel.
35Καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα ἐκοινώνησεν Ἰωσαφὰτ βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα πρὸς Ὀχοζίαν βασιλέα Ἰσραήλ (καὶ οὗτος ἠνόμησεν)
35After this, Jehoshaphat king of Judah joined himself with Ahaziah king of Israel. The same did very wickedly.
36ἐν τῷ ποιῆσαι καὶ πορευθῆναι πρὸς αὐτὸν τοῦ ποιῆσαι πλοῖα τοῦ πορευθῆναι εἰς Θαρσεῖς καὶ ἐποίησε πλοῖα ἐν Γασιὼν Γαβέρ.
36He joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish. They made the ships in Ezion Geber.
37καὶ ἐπροφήτευσεν Ἐλιέζερ ὁ τοῦ Δωδία ἀπὸ Μαρισῆς ἐπὶ Ἰωσαφὰτ λέγων· ὡς ἐφιλίασας τῷ Ὀχοζίᾳ, ἔθραυσε Κύριος τὸ ἔργον σου, καὶ συνετρίβη τὰ πλοῖά σου. καὶ οὐκ ἐδυνάσθη πορευθῆναι εἰς Θαρσεῖς.
37Then Eliezer the son of Dodavahu of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, “Because you have joined yourself with Ahaziah, the LORD has destroyed your works.” The ships were wrecked, so that they were not able to go to Tarshish.
