2 Chronicles 12
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1And it came to pass, when the kingdom of Rehoboam was established, and he was strong, that he forsook the law of the LORD, and all Israel with him.
1ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο ὡς ἡτοιμάσθη ἡ βασιλεία Ροβοὰμ καὶ ὡς κατεκρατήθη, ἐγκατέλιπε τὰς ἐντολὰς Κυρίου καὶ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ μετ' αὐτοῦ.
2And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had dealt treacherously with the LORD,
2καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ πέμπτῳ τῆς βασιλείας Ροβοὰμ ἀνέβη Σουσακὶμ βασιλεὺς Αἰγύπτου ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλήμ, ὅτι ἥμαρτον ἐναντίον Κυρίου,
3with twelve hundred chariots, and threescore thousand horsemen; and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt; the Lubim, the Sukkiim, and the Ethiopians.
3ἐν χιλίοις καὶ διακοσίοις ἅρμασι καὶ ἑξήκοντα χιλιάσιν ἵππων, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ἀριθμὸς τοῦ πλήθους τοῦ ἐλθόντος μετ' αὐτοῦ ἐξ Αἰγύπτου, Λίβυες, Τρωγοδύται καὶ Αἰθίοπες.
4And he took the fortified cities which pertained to Judah, and came unto Jerusalem.
4καὶ κατεκράτησαν τῶν πόλεων τῶν ὀχυρῶν, αἳ ἦσαν ἐν Ἰούδᾳ, καὶ ἦλθον εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ.
5Now Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Judah, that were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said unto them: 'Thus saith the LORD: Ye have forsaken Me, therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak.'
5καὶ Σαμαίας ὁ προφήτης ἦλθε πρὸς Ροβοὰμ καὶ πρὸς τοὺς ἄρχοντας Ἰούδα τοὺς συναχθέντας εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἀπὸ προσώπου Σουσακὶμ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος· ὑμεῖς ἐγκατελίπετέ με, καὶ ἐγὼ ἐγκαταλείψω ὑμᾶς ἐν χειρὶ Σουσακίμ.
6Then the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said: 'The LORD is righteous.'
6καὶ ᾐσχύνθησαν οἱ ἄρχοντες Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ εἶπαν· δίκαιος ὁ Κύριος.
7And when the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying: 'They have humbled themselves; I will not destroy them; but I will grant them some deliverance, and My wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.
7καὶ ἐν τῷ ἰδεῖν Κύριον ὅτι ἐνετράπησαν, καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς Σαμαίαν λέγων· ἐνετράπησαν, οὐ καταφθερῶ αὐτούς· καὶ δώσω αὐτοὺς ὡς μικρὸς εἰς σωτηρίαν, καὶ οὐ μὴ στάξῃ ὁ θυμός μου ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ,
8Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may know My service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.'
8ὅτι ἔσονται εἰς παῖδας καὶ γνώσονται τὴν δουλείαν μου καὶ τὴν δουλείαν τῆς βασιλείας τῆς γῆς.
9So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house; he took all away; he took away also the shields of gold which Solomon had made.
9καὶ ἀνέβη Σουσακὶμ βασιλεὺς Αἰγύπτου ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ ἔλαβε τοὺς θησαυροὺς τοὺς ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου καὶ τοὺς θησαυροὺς τοὺς ἐν οἴκῳ τοῦ βασιλέως, τὰ πάντα ἔλαβε· καὶ ἔλαβε τοὺς θυρεοὺς τοὺς χρυσοῦς, οὓς ἐποίησε Σαλωμών,
10And king Rehoboam made in their stead shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, that kept the door of the king's house.
10καὶ ἐποίησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ροβοὰμ θυρεοὺς χαλκοῦς ἀντ' αὐτῶν. καὶ κατέστησεν ἐπ' αὐτὸν Σουσακὶμ ἄρχοντας παρατρεχόντων, τοὺς φυλάσσοντας τὸν πυλῶνα τοῦ βασιλέως.
11And it was so, that as oft as the king entered into the house of the LORD, the guard came and bore them, and brought them back into the guard-chamber.
11καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ εἰσελθεῖν τὸν βασιλέα εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου. εἰσεπορεύοντο οἱ φυλάσσοντες καὶ οἱ παρατρέχοντες καὶ οἱ ἐπιστρέφοντες εἰς ἀπάντησιν τῶν παρατρεχόντων.
12And when he humbled himself, the anger of the LORD turned from him, that He would not destroy him altogether; and moreover in Judah there were good things found.
12καὶ ἐν τῷ ἐντραπῆναι αὐτὸν ἀπεστράφη ἀπ' αὐτοῦ ὀργὴ Κυρίου καὶ οὐκ εἰς καταφθορὰν εἰς τέλος· καὶ γὰρ ἐν Ἰούδᾳ ἦσαν λόγοι ἀγαθοί.
13So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned; for Rehoboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put His name there; and his mother's name was Naamah the Ammonitess.
13Καὶ κατίσχυσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ροβοὰμ ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ ἐβασίλευσε. καὶ τεσσαράκοντα καὶ ἑνὸς ἐτῶν Ροβοὰμ ἐν τῷ βασιλεῦσαι αὐτὸν καὶ ἑπτακαίδεκα ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ, ἐν τῇ πόλει, ᾗ ἐξελέξατο Κύριος ἐπονομάσαι τό ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ἐκεῖ ἐκ πασῶν φυλῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ· καὶ τὸ ὄνομα τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ Νοομμὰ ἡ Ἀμανῖτις.
14And he did that which was evil, because he set not his heart to seek the LORD.
14καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρόν, ὅτι οὐ κατεύθυνε τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ ἐκζητῆσαι τὸν Κύριον.
15Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the histories of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, after the manner of genealogies? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.
15καὶ λόγοι Ροβοὰμ οἱ πρῶτοι καὶ ἔσχατοι οὐκ ἰδοὺ γεγραμμένοι ἐν τοῖς λόγοις Σαμαία τοῦ προφήτου καὶ Ἀδδὼ τοῦ ὁρῶντος καὶ πράξεις αὐτοῦ; καὶ ἐπολέμησε Ροβοὰμ τὸν Ἱεροβοὰμ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας.
16And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David; and Abijah his son reigned in his stead.
16καὶ ἀπέθανε Ροβοὰμ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν πόλει Δαυίδ, καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ἀβιὰ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ' αὐτοῦ.
