2 Chronicles 28
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem; and he did not that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, like David his father;
1ΥΙΟΣ εἴκοσι καὶ πέντε ἐτῶν ἦν Ἄχαζ ἐν τῷ βασιλεύειν αὐτὸν καὶ ἑκκαίδεκα ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ· καὶ οὐκ ἐποίησε τὸ εὐθὲς ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, ὡς Δαυὶδ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ.
2but he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made also molten images for the Baalim.
2καὶ ἐπορεύθη κατὰ τὰς ὁδοὺς βασιλέων Ἰσραήλ· καὶ γὰρ γλυπτὰ ἐποίησε
3Moreover he offered in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burnt his children in the fire, according to the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
3τοῖς εἰδώλοις αὐτῶν καὶ ἔθυεν ἐν Βενεννὸμ καὶ διῆγε τὰ τέκνα αὐτοῦ διὰ πυρὸς κατὰ τὰ βδελύγματα τῶν ἐθνῶν, ὧν ἐξωλόθρευσε Κύριος ἀπὸ προσώπου υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ,
4And he sacrificed and offered in the high places, and on the hills, and under every leafy tree.
4καὶ ἐθυμία ἐπὶ τῶν ὑψηλῶν καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν δωμάτων καὶ ὑποκάτω παντὸς ξύλου ἀλσώδους.
5Wherefore the LORD his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Aram; and they smote him, and carried away of his a great multitude of captives, and brought them to Damascus. And he was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who smote him with a great slaughter.
5καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτὸν Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς αὐτοῦ διὰ χειρὸς βασιλέως Συρίας, καὶ ἐπάταξεν ἐν αὐτῷ καὶ ᾐχμαλώτευσεν ἐξ αὐτῶν αἰχμαλωσίαν πολλὴν καὶ ἤγαγεν εἰς Δαμασκόν· καὶ γὰρ εἰς χεῖρας βασιλέως Ἰσραὴλ παρέδωκεν αὐτόν, καὶ ἐπάταξεν ἐν αὐτῷ πληγὴν μεγάλην.
6For Pekah the son of Remaliah slew in Judah a hundred and twenty thousand in one day, all of them valiant men; because they had forsaken the LORD, the God of their fathers.
6καὶ ἀπέκτεινε Φακεὲ ὁ τοῦ Ρομελία βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ ἐν Ἰούδᾳ ἐν μιᾷ ἡμέρᾳ ἑκατὸν εἴκοσι χιλιάδας ἀνδρῶν δυνατῶν ἰσχύϊ ἐν τῷ καταλιπεῖν αὐτοὺς Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν.
7And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, slew Maaseiah the king's son, and Azrikam the ruler of the house, and Elkanah that was next to the king.
7καὶ ἀπέκτεινε Ζεχρὶ ὁ δυνατὸς τοῦ Ἐφραὶμ τὸν Μαασὰ τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τὸν Ἐζρικὰν ἡγούμενον τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸν Ἑλκανὰ τὸν διάδοχον τοῦ βασιλέως.
8And the children of Israel carried away captive of their brethren two hundred thousand women, sons, and daughters, and took also away much spoil from them, and brought the spoil to Samaria.
8καὶ ᾐχμαλώτισαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἀπὸ τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτῶν τριακοσίας χιλιάδας, γυναῖκας καὶ υἱοὺς καὶ θυγατέρας, καὶ σκῦλα πολλὰ ἐσκύλευσαν ἐξ αὐτῶν καὶ ἤνεγκαν τὰ σκῦλα εἰς Σαμάρειαν.
9But a prophet of the LORD was there, whose name was Oded; and he went out to meet the host that came to Samaria, and said unto them: 'Behold, because the LORD, the God of your fathers, was wroth with Judah, He hath delivered them into your hand, and ye have slain them in a rage which hath reached up unto heaven.
9καὶ ἐκεῖ ἦν ὁ προφήτης τοῦ Κυρίου, Ὠδὴδ ὄνομα αὐτῷ, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν εἰς ἀπάντησιν τῆς δυνάμεως τῶν ἐρχομένων εἰς Σαμάρειαν καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ἰδοὺ ὀργὴ Κυρίου Θεοῦ τῶν πατέρων ὑμῶν ἐπὶ Ἰούδαν, καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὰς χεῖρας ὑμῶν, καὶ ἀπεκτείνατε ἐν αὐτοῖς ἐν ὀργῇ· καὶ ἕως τῶν οὐρανῶν ἔφθακε.
10And now ye purpose to bring the children of Judah and Jerusalem into subjection for bondmen and bondwomen unto you; but are there not even with you acts of guilt of your own against the LORD your God?
10καὶ νῦν υἱοὺς Ἰούδα καὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ ὑμεῖς λέγετε κατακτήσασθαι εἰς δούλους καὶ δούλας· οὐκ ἰδού εἰμι μεθ' ὑμῶν μαρτυρῆσαι Κυρίῳ Θεῷ ὑμῶν;
11Now hear me therefore, and send back the captives, that ye have taken captive of your brethren; for the fierce wrath of the LORD is upon you.'
11καὶ νῦν ἀκούσατέ μου καὶ ἀποστρέψατε τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν, ἣν ᾐχμαλωτεύσατε τῶν ἀδελφῶν ὑμῶν, ὅτι ὀργὴ θυμοῦ Κυρίου ἐφ' ὑμῖν.
12Then certain of the heads of the children of Ephraim, Azariah the son of Jehohanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, and Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai, stood up against them that came from the war,
12καὶ ἀνέστησαν ἄρχοντες ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Ἐφραίμ, Οὐδείας ὁ τοῦ Ἰωανοῦ καὶ Βαραχίας ὁ τοῦ Μωσολαμὼθ καὶ Ἐζεκίας ὁ τοῦ Σελλὴμ καὶ Ἀμασίας ὁ τοῦ Ἐλδαΐ, ἐπὶ τοὺς ἐρχομένους ἀπὸ τοῦ πολέμου,
13and said unto them: 'Ye shall not bring in the captives hither; for ye purpose that which will bring upon us guilt against the LORD, to add unto our sins and to our guilt; for our guilt is great, and there is fierce wrath against Israel.'
13καὶ εἶπαν αὐτοῖς· οὐ μὴ εἰσαγάγητε τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν ὧδε πρὸς ἡμᾶς, ὅτι εἰς τὸ ἁμαρτάνειν τῷ Κυρίῳ ἐφ' ἡμᾶς ὑμεῖς λέγετε, προσθεῖναι ἐπὶ ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις ἡμῶν καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν ἄγνοιαν ἡμῶν, ὅτι πολλὴ ἡ ἁμαρτία ἡμῶν καὶ ὀργὴ θυμοῦ Κυρίου ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰσραήλ.
14So the armed men left the captives and the spoil before the princes and all the congregation.
14καὶ ἀφῆκαν οἱ πολεμισταὶ τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν καὶ τὰ σκῦλα ἐναντίον τῶν ἀρχόντων καὶ πάσης τῆς ἐκκλησίας.
15And the men that have been mentioned by name rose up, and took the captives, and with the spoil clothed all that were naked among them, and arrayed them, and shod them, and gave them to eat and to drink, and anointed them, and carried all the feeble of them upon asses, and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm-trees, unto their brethren; then they returned to Samaria.
15καὶ ἀνέστησαν ἄνδρες, οἳ ἐπεκλήθησαν ἐν ὀνόματι, καὶ ἀντελάβοντο τῆς αἰχμαλωσίας καὶ πάντας τοὺς γυμνοὺς περιέβαλον ἀπὸ τῶν σκύλων καὶ ἐνέδυσαν αὐτοὺς καὶ ὑπέδυσαν αὐτοὺς καὶ ἔδωκαν φαγεῖν καὶ ἀλείψασθαι καὶ ἀντελάβοντο καὶ ἐν ὑποζυγίοις παντὸς ἀσθενοῦντος καὶ κατέστησαν αὐτοὺς εἰς Ἱεριχὼ πόλιν Φοινίκων πρὸς τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν εἰς Σαμάρειαν.
16At that time did king Ahaz send unto the kings of Assyria to help him.
16Ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἄχαζ πρὸς βασιλέα Ἀσσοὺρ βοηθῆσαι αὐτῷ καὶ ἐν τούτῳ,
17For again the Edomites had come and smitten Judah, and carried away captives.
17ὅτι οἱ Ἰδουμαῖοι ἐπέθεντο καὶ ἐπάταξαν ἐν Ἰούδᾳ καὶ ᾐχμαλώτισαν αἰχμαλωσίαν
18The Philistines also had invaded the cities of the Lowland, and of the South of Judah, and had taken Beth-shemesh, and Aijalon, and Gederoth, and Soco with the towns thereof, and Timnah with the towns thereof, Gimzo also and the towns thereof; and they dwelt there.
18καὶ οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι ἐπέθεντο ἐπὶ τὰς πόλεις τῆς πεδινῆς καὶ ἀπὸ λιβὸς τοῦ Ἰούδα καὶ ἔλαβον τὴν Βαιθσαμὺς καὶ τὴν Ἀϊλὼν καὶ τὴν Γαδηρὼθ καὶ τὴν Σωχὼ καὶ τὰς κώμας αὐτῆς καὶ τὴν Θαμνὰ καὶ τὰς κώμας αὐτῆς καὶ τὴν Γαμζὼ καὶ τὰς κώμας αὐτῆς καὶ κατῴκησαν ἐκεῖ·
19For the LORD brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel; for he had cast away restraint in Judah, and acted treacherously against the LORD.
19ὅτι ἐταπείνωσε Κύριος τὸν Ἰούδαν διὰ Ἄχαζ βασιλέα Ἰούδα, ὅτι ἀπέστη ἀποστάσει ἀπὸ Κυρίου.
20And Tillegath-pilneser king of Assyria came unto him, and distressed him, but strengthened him not.
20καὶ ἦλθεν ἐπ' αὐτὸν Θαγλαθφελλασὰρ βασιλεὺς Ἀσσοὺρ καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτόν.
21For Ahaz stripped the house of the LORD, and the house of the king and the princes, and gave thereof unto the king of Assyria; but it helped him not.
21καὶ ἔλαβεν Ἄχαζ τὰ ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου καὶ τὰ ἐν οἴκῳ τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τῶν ἀρχόντων καὶ ἔδωκε τῷ βασιλεῖ Ἀσσοὺρ καὶ οὐκ εἰς βοήθειαν αὐτῷ ἦν,
22And in the time of his distress did he act even more treacherously against the LORD, this same king Ahaz.
22ἀλλ' ἢ τῷ θλιβῆναι αὐτόν. καὶ προσέθηκε τοῦ ἀποστῆναι ἀπὸ Κυρίου. καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἄχαζ·
23For he sacrificed unto the gods of Damascus, which smote him; and he said: 'Because the gods of the kings of Aram helped them, therefore will I sacrifice to them, that they may help me.' But they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel.
23ἐκζητήσω τοὺς θεοὺς Δαμασκοῦ τοὺς τύπτοντάς με· καὶ εἶπεν ὅτι θεοὶ βασιλέως Συρίας αὐτοὶ κατισχύσουσιν αὐτούς, αὐτοῖς τοίνυν θύσω, καὶ ἀντιλήψονταί μου. καὶ αὐτοὶ ἐγένοντο αὐτῷ εἰς σκῶλον καὶ παντὶ Ἰσραήλ.
24And Ahaz gathered together the vessels of the house of God, and cut in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and shut up the doors of the house of the LORD; and he made him altars in every corner of Jerusalem.
24καὶ ἀπέστησεν Ἄχαζ τὰ σκεύη οἴκου Κυρίου καὶ κατέκοψεν αὐτὰ καὶ ἔκλεισε τὰς θύρας οἴκου Κυρίου καὶ ἐποίησεν ἑαυτῷ θυσιαστήρια ἐν πάσῃ γωνίᾳ ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ·
25And in every city of Judah he made high places to offer unto other gods, and provoked the LORD, the God of his fathers.
25καὶ ἐν πάσῃ πόλει καὶ πόλει ἐν Ἰούδᾳ ἐποίησεν ὑψηλὰ θυμιᾶν θεοῖς ἀλλοτρίοις, καὶ παρώργισαν Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν.
26Now the rest of his acts, and all his ways, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
26καὶ οἱ λοιποὶ λόγοι αὐτοῦ καὶ αἱ πράξεις αὐτοῦ αἱ πρῶται καὶ ἔσχαται ἰδοὺ γεγραμμέναι ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ βασιλέων Ἰούδα καὶ Ἰσραήλ.
27And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, even in Jerusalem; for they brought him not into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel; and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.
27καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Ἄχαζ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν πόλει Δαυίδ, ὅτι οὐκ εἰσήνεγκαν αὐτὸν εἰς τοὺς τάφους τῶν βασιλέων Ἰσραήλ· καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ἐζεκίας υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ' αὐτοῦ.
