1ΩΝ εἴκοσι καὶ πέντε ἐτῶν ἐβασίλευσεν Ἀμασίας καὶ εἰκοσιεννέα ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ, καὶ ὄνομα τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ Ἰωαδὲν ἀπὸ Ἱερουσαλήμ.
1Amasias was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem, the name of his mother was Joadan of Jerusalem.
2καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ εὐθὲς ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, ἀλλ' οὐκ ἐν καρδίᾳ πλήρει.
2And he did what was good in the sight of the Lord: but yet not with a perfect heart.
3καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς κατέστη ἡ βασιλεία ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐθανάτωσε τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ τοὺς φονεύσαντας τὸν βασιλέα πατέρα αὐτοῦ·
3And when he saw himself strengthened in his kingdom, he put to death the servants that had slain the king his father.
4καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτῶν οὐκ ἀπέκτεινε κατὰ τὴν διαθήκην τοῦ νόμου Κυρίου, καθὼς γέγραπται, ὡς ἐνετείλατο Κύριος λέγων· οὐκ ἀποθανοῦνται πατέρες ὑπὲρ τέκνων, καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ οὐκ ἀποθανοῦνται ὑπὲρ πατέρων, ἀλλ' ἢ ἕκαστος τῇ ἑαυτοῦ ἁμαρτίᾳ ἀποθανοῦνται.
4But he slew not their children, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, where the Lord commanded, saying: The fathers shall not be slain for the children, nor the children for their fathers, but every man shall die for his own sin.
5καὶ συνήγαγεν Ἀμασίας τὸν οἶκον Ἰούδα καὶ ἀνέστησεν αὐτοὺς κατ' οἴκους πατριῶν αὐτῶν εἰς χιλιάρχους καὶ ἑκατοντάρχους ἐν παντὶ Ἰούδᾳ καὶ Ἱερουσαλήμ· καὶ ἠρίθμησεν αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ εἰκοσαετοῦς καὶ ἐπάνω καὶ εὗρεν αὐτοὺς τριακοσίας χιλιάδας ἐξελθεῖν εἰς πόλεμον δυνατοὺς κρατοῦντας δόρυ καὶ θυρεόν.
5Amasias therefore gathered Juda together, and appointed them by families, and captains of thousands and of hundreds in all Juda, and Benjamin: and he numbered them from twenty years old and upwards, and found three hundred thousand young men that could go out to battle, and could hold the spear and shield.
6καὶ ἐμισθώσατο ἀπὸ Ἰσραὴλ ἑκατὸν χιλιάδας δυνατοὺς ἰσχύϊ ἑκατὸν ταλάντων ἀργυρίου.
6He hired also of Israel a hundred thousand valiant men, for a hundred talents of silver.
7καὶ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ Θεοῦ ἦλθε πρὸς αὐτὸν λέγων· βασιλεῦ, οὐ πορεύσεται μετὰ σοῦ δύναμις Ἰσραήλ, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστι Κύριος μετά Ἰσραήλ, πάντων τῶν υἱῶν Ἐφραίμ.
7But a man of God came to him, and said: O king, let not the army of Israel go out with thee, for the Lord is not with Israel, and all the children of Ephraim:
8ὅτι ἐὰν ὑπολάβῃς κατισχῦσαι ἐν τούτοις, καὶ τροπώσεταί σε Κύριος ἐναντίον τῶν ἐχθρῶν, ὅτι ἐστὶ παρὰ Κυρίου καὶ ἰσχῦσαι καὶ τροπώσασθαι.
8And if thou think that battles consist in the strength of the army, God will make thee to be overcome by the enemies: for it belongeth to God both to help, and to put to flight.
9καὶ εἶπεν Ἀμασίας τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τοῦ Θεοῦ· καὶ τί ποιήσω τὰ ἑκατὸν τάλαντα, ἃ ἔδωκα τῇ δυνάμει Ἰσραήλ; καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ Θεοῦ· ἔστι τῷ Κυρίῳ δοῦναί σοι πλεῖστα τούτων.
9And Amasias said to the man of God: What will then become of the hundred talents which I have given to the soldiers of Israeli and the man of God answered him: The Lord is rich enough to be able to give thee much more than this.
10καὶ διεχώρισεν Ἀμασίας τῇ δυνάμει τῇ ἐλθούσῃ πρὸς αὐτὸν ἀπὸ Ἐφραὶμ ἀπελθεῖν εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐθυμώθησαν σφόδρα ἐπὶ Ἰούδαν καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτῶν ἐν ὀργῇ θυμοῦ.
10Then Amasias separated the army, that came to him out of Ephraim, to go home again: but they being much enraged against Juda, returned to their own country.
11καὶ Ἀμασίας κατίσχυσε καὶ παρέλαβε τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπορεύθη εἰς τὴν κοιλάδα τῶν ἁλῶν καὶ ἐπάταξεν ἐκεῖ τοὺς υἱοὺς Σηεὶρ δέκα χιλιάδας·
11And Amasias taking courage led forth his people, and went to the vale of saltpits, and slew of the children of Seir ten thousand.
12καὶ δέκα χιλιάδας ἐζώγρησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰούδα καὶ ἔφερον αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ τὸ ἄκρον τοῦ κρημνοῦ καὶ κατεκρήμνιζον αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ τοῦ ἄκρου τοῦ κρημνοῦ, καὶ πάντες διερρήγνυντο.
12And other ten thousand men the sons of Juda took, and brought to the steep of a certain rock, and cast them down headlong from the top, and they all were broken to pieces.
13καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ τῆς δυνάμεως, οὓς ἀπέστρεψεν Ἀμασίας τοῦ μὴ πορευθῆναι μετ' αὐτοῦ εἰς πόλεμον, καὶ ἐπέθεντο ἐπὶ τὰς πόλεις Ἰούδα ἀπὸ Σαμαρείας ἕως Βαιθωρὼν καὶ ἐπάταξαν ἐν αὐτοῖς τρεῖς χιλιάδας καὶ ἐσκύλευσαν σκῦλα πολλά.
13But that army which Amasias had sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, spread themselves among the cities of Juda, from Samaria to Beth-horon, and having killed three thousand took away much spoil.
14καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ τὸ ἐλθεῖν Ἀμασίαν πατάξαντα τὴν Ἰδουμαίαν καὶ ἤνεγκε πρὸς αὐτοὺς τοὺς θεοὺς υἱῶν Σηεὶρ καὶ ἔστησεν αὐτοὺς ἑαυτῷ εἰς θεοὺς καὶ ἐναντίον αὐτῶν προσεκύνει καὶ αὐτὸς αὐτοῖς ἔθυε.
14But Amasias after he had slain the Edomites, set up the gods of the children of Seir, which he had brought thence, to be his gods, and adored them, and burnt incense to them.
15καὶ ἐγένετο ὀργὴ Κυρίου ἐπὶ Ἀμασίαν, καὶ ἀπέστειλεν αὐτῷ προφήτην καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· τί ἐζήτησας τοὺς Θεοὺς τοῦ λαοῦ, οἳ οὐκ ἐξείλοντο τὸν λαὸν ἑαυτῶν ἐκ χειρός σου;
15Wherefore the Lord being angry against Amasias, sent a prophet to him, to say to him: Why hast thou adored gods that have not delivered their own people out of thy hand?
16καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ λαλῆσαι αὐτῷ πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· μὴ σύμβουλον τοῦ βασιλέως δέδωκά σε; πρόσεχε ἵνα μὴ μαστιγωθῇς. καὶ ἐσιώπησεν ὁ προφήτης καὶ εἶπεν, ὅτι γινώσκω ὅτι ἐβούλετο ἐπὶ σοὶ τοῦ καταφθεῖραί σε, ὅτι ἐποίησας τοῦτο καὶ οὐκ ἐπήκουσας τῆς συμβουλίας μου.
16And when he spoke these things, he answered him: Art thou the king’s counsellor? be quiet, lest I kill thee. And the prophet departing, said: I know that God is minded to kill thee, because thou hast done this evil, and moreover hast not hearkened to my counsel.
17καὶ ἐβουλεύσατο Ἀμασίας ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα καὶ ἀπέστειλε πρὸς Ἰωὰς υἱὸν Ἰωάχαζ υἱοῦ Ἰηοὺ βασιλέα Ἰσραὴλ λέγων· δεῦρο καὶ ὀφθῶμεν προσώποις.
17Then Amasias king of Juda taking very bad counsel, sent to Joas the son of Joachaz the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying: Come, let us see one another.
18καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ἰωὰς βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς Ἀμασίαν βασιλέα Ἰούδα λέγων· ὁ ἀχοὺχ ὁ ἐν τῷ Λιβάνῳ ἀπέστειλε πρὸς τὴν κέδρον τὴν ἐν τῷ Λιβάνῳ λέγων· δὸς τὴν θυγατέρα σου τῷ υἱῷ μου εἰς γυναῖκα. καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐλεύσεται τά θηρία τοῦ ἀγροῦ τὰ ἐν τῷ Λιβάνῳ· καὶ ἦλθον τὰ θηρία καὶ κατεπάτησαν τὸν ἀχούχ.
18But he sent back the messengers, saying: The thistle that is in Libanus, sent to the cedar in Libanus, saying: Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and behold the beasts that were in the wood of Libanus passed by, and trod down the thistle.
19εἶπας· ἰδοὺ ἐπάταξα τὴν Ἰδουμαίαν καὶ ἐπαίρει σε ἡ καρδία σου ἡ βαρεῖα· νῦν κάθισον ἐν οἴκῳ σου καὶ ἱνατί συμβάλλεις ἐν κακίᾳ καὶ πεσῇ σὺ καὶ Ἰούδας μετὰ σοῦ;
19Thou hast said: I have overthrown Edom, and therefore thy heart is lifted up with pride: stay at home, why dost thou provoke evil against thee, that both thou shouldst fall and Juda with thee.
20καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσεν Ἀμασίας, ὅτι παρὰ Κυρίου ἐγένετο τοῦ παραδοῦναι αὐτὸν εἰς χεῖρας, ὅτι ἐξεζήτησε τοὺς θεοὺς τῶν Ἰδουμαίων.
20Amasias would not hearken to him, because it was the Lord’s will that he should be delivered into the hands of enemies, because of the gods of Edom.
21καὶ ἀνέβη Ἰωὰς βασιλεὺς Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ὤφθησαν ἀλλήλοις αὐτὸς καὶ Ἀμασίας βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα ἐν Βαιθσαμύς, ἥ ἐστι τοῦ Ἰούδα.
21So Joas king of Israel went up, and they presented themselves to be seen by one another: and Amasias king of Juda was in Bethsames of Juda:
22καὶ ἐτροπώθη Ἰούδας κατὰ πρόσωπον Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἔφυγεν ἕκαστος εἰς τὸ σκήνωμα αὐτοῦ.
22And Juda fell before Israel and they fled to their dwellings.
23καὶ τὸν Ἀμασίαν βασιλέα Ἰούδα τὸν τοῦ Ἰωὰς υἱοῦ Ἰωάχαζ κατέλαβεν Ἰωὰς βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ ἐν Βαιθσαμὺς καὶ εἰσήγαγεν αὐτὸν εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ κατέσπασεν ἀπὸ τοῦ τείχους Ἱερουσαλήμ, ἀπὸ πύλης Ἐφραὶμ ἕως πύλης γωνίας τετρακοσίους πήχεις·
23And Joas king of Israel took Amasias king of Juda, the son of Joas, the son Joachaz, in Bethsames, and brought him to Jerusalem: and broke down the walls thereof from the gate of Ephraim, to the gate of the corner, four hundred cubits.
24καὶ πᾶν τὸ χρυσίον καὶ τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη τὰ εὑρεθέντα ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου καὶ παρὰ τῷ Ἀβδεδὸμ καὶ τοὺς θησαυροὺς οἴκου τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς τῶν συμμίξεων καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν εἰς Σαμάρειαν.
24And he took all the gold, and silver, and all the vessels, that he found in the house of God, and with Obededom, and in the treasures of the king’s house, moreover also the sons of the hostages, he brought back to Samaria.
25καὶ ἔζησεν Ἀμασίας ὁ τοῦ Ἰωὰς βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα μετὰ τὸ ἀποθανεῖν Ἰωὰς τὸν τοῦ Ἰωάχαζ βασιλέα Ἰσραὴλ ἔτη δεκαπέντε.
25And Amasias the son of Joas king of Juda lived, after the death of Joas the son of Joachaz king of Israel, fifteen years.
26καὶ οἱ λοιποὶ λόγοι Ἀμασίου οἱ πρῶτοι καὶ οἱ ἔσχατοι οὐκ ἰδοὺ γεγραμμένοι ἐπὶ βιβλίου βασιλέων Ἰούδα καὶ Ἰσραήλ;
26Now the rest of the acts of Amasias, the first and last, are written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel.
27καὶ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ, ᾧ ἀπέστη Ἀμασίας ἀπὸ Κυρίου, καὶ ἐπέθεντο αὐτῷ ἐπίθεσιν, καὶ ἔφυγεν ἀπὸ Ἱερουσαλὴμ εἰς Λαχίς· καὶ ἀπέστειλαν κατόπισθεν αὐτοῦ εἰς Λαχὶς καὶ ἐθανάτωσαν αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ.
27And after he revolted from the Lord, they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem. And he fled into Lachis, and they sent, and killed him there.
28καὶ ἀνέλαβον αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τῶν ἵππων καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ ἐν πόλει Δαυίδ.
28And they brought him back upon horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of David.
