Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Καὶ συνήθροισεν υἱὸς Ἄδερ πᾶσαν τὴν δύναμιν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀνέβη καὶ περιεκάθισεν ἐπὶ Σαμάρειαν, καὶ τριακονταδύο βασιλεῖς μετʼ αὐτοῦ, καὶ πᾶς ἵππος καὶ ἅρμα· καὶ ἀνέβησαν καὶ περιεκάθισαν ἐπὶ Σαμάρειαν, καὶ ἐπολέμησαν ἐπʼ αὐτήν.
1And after these things, Naboth the Jezrahelite, who was in Jezrahel, had at that time a vineyard near the palace of Achab king of Samaria.
2Καὶ ἀπέστειλε πρὸς Ἀχαὰβ βασιλέα Ἰσραὴλ εἰς τὴν πόλιν, καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὸν, τάδε λέγει υἱὸς Ἄδερ,
2And Achab spoke to Naboth, saying: Give me thy vineyard, that I may make me a garden of herbs, because it is nigh, and adjoining to my house, and I will give thee for it a better vineyard: or if thou think it more convenient for thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.
3τὸ ἀργύριόν σου καὶ τὸ χρυσίον σου ἐμόν ἐστι, καὶ αἱ γυναῖκές σου καὶ τὰ τέκνα σου ἐμά ἐστι.
3Naboth answered him: The Lord be merciful to me, and not let me give thee the inheritance of my fathers.
4Καὶ ἀπεκρίθη βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ εἶπε, καθὼς ἐλάλησας κύριέ μου βασιλεῦ, σὸς ἐγώ εἰμι καὶ πάντα τὰ ἐμά.
4And Achab came into his house angry and fretting, because of the word that Naboth the Jezrahelite had spoken to him, saying: I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And casting himself upon his bed, he turned away his face to the wall, and would eat no bread.
5Καὶ ἀνέστρεψαν οἱ ἄγγελοι, καὶ εἶπαν, τάδε λέγει ὁ υἱὸς Ἄδερ, ἐγὼ ἀπέστειλα πρὸς σὲ, λέγων, τὸ ἀργύριόν σου καὶ τὸ χρυσίον σου καὶ τὰς γυναῖκας καὶ τὰ τέκνα σου δώσεις ἐμοὶ,
5And Jezabel his wife went in to him, and said to him: What is the matter that thy soul is so grieved? and why eatest thou no bread?
6ὅτι ταύτην τὴν ὥραν αὔριον ἀποστελῶ τοὺς παῖδάς μου πρὸς σὲ, καὶ ἐρευνήσουσι τὸν οἶκόν σου καὶ τοὺς οἴκους τῶν παίδων σου, καὶ ἔσται πάντα τὰ ἐπιθυμήματα τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτῶν ἐφʼ ἃ ἂν ἐπιβάλωσι τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν, καὶ λήψονται.
6And he answered her: I spoke to Naboth the Jezrahelite, and said to him: Give me thy vineyard, and take money for it: or if it please thee, I will give thee a better vineyard for it. And he said: I will not give thee my vineyard.
7Καὶ ἐκάλεσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ πάντας τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους τῆς γῆς, καὶ εἶπε, γνῶτε δὴ καὶ ἴδετε ὅτι κακίαν οὗτος ζητεῖ, ὅτι ἀπέσταλκε πρὸς μὲ περὶ τῶν γυναικῶν μου, καὶ περὶ τῶν υἱῶν μου, καὶ περὶ τῶν θυγατέρων μου· τὸ ἀργύριόν μου καὶ τὸ χρυσίον μου οὐκ ἀπεκώλυσα ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ.
7Then Jezabel his wife said to him: Thou art of great authority indeed, and governest well the kingdom of Israel. Arise, and eat bread, and be of good cheer, I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezrahelite.
8Καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς, μὴ ἀκούσῃς, καὶ μὴ θελήσῃς.
8So she wrote letter’s in Achab’s name, and sealed them with his ring, and sent them to the ancients, and the chief men that were in his city, and that dwelt with Naboth.
9Καὶ εἶπε τοῖς ἀγγέλοις υἱοῦ Ἄδερ, λέγετε τῷ κυρίῳ ὑμῶν, πάντα ὅσα ἀπέσταλκας πρὸς τὸν δοῦλόν σου ἐν πρώτοις ποιήσω, τὸ δὲ ῥῆμα τοῦτο οὐ δυνήσομαι ποιῆσαι· καὶ ἀπῇραν οἱ ἄνδρες, καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν αὐτῷ λόγον.
9And this was the tenor of the letters: Proclaim a fast, and make Naboth sit among the chief of the people,
10Καὶ ἀπέστειλε πρὸς αὐτὸν υἱὸς Ἄδερ, λέγων, τάδε ποιήσαι μοι ὁ Θεὸς καὶ τάδε προσθείη, εἰ ἐκποιήσει ὁ χοῦς Σαμαρείας ταῖς ἀλώπεξι παντὶ τῷ λαῷ τοῖς πεζοῖς μου.
10And suborn two men, sons of Belial against him, and let them bear false witness: that he hath blasphemed God and the king: and then carry him out, and stone him, and so let him die.
11Καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ εἶπεν, ἱκανούσθω· μὴ καυχάσθω ὁ κυρτὸς, ὡς ὁ ὀρθός.
11And the men of his city, the ancients and nobles, that dwelt with him in the city, did as Jezabel had commanded them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent to them:
12Καὶ ἐγένετο ὅτε ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῷ τὸν λόγον τοῦτον, πίνων ἦν αὐτὸς καὶ πάντες οἱ βασιλεῖς οἱ μετʼ αὐτοῦ ἐν σκηναῖς· καὶ εἶπε τοῖς παισὶν αὐτοῦ, οἰκοδομήσατε χάρακα· καὶ ἔθεντο χάρακα ἐπὶ τὴν πόλιν.
12They proclaimed a fast, and made Naboth sit among the chief of the people.
13Καὶ ἰδοὺ προφήτης εἷς προσῆλθε τῷ Ἀχαὰβ βασιλεῖ Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ εἶπε, τάδε λέγει Κύριος, εἰ ἑώρακας τὸν ὄχλον τὸν μέγαν τοῦτον; ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ δίδωμι αὐτὸν σήμερον εἰς χεῖρας σὰς, καὶ γνώσῃ ὅτι ἐγὼ Κύριος.
13And bringing two men, sons of the devil, they made them sit against him: and they, like men of the devil, bore witness against him before the people, saying: Naboth hath blasphemed God and the king: wherefore they brought him forth without the city, and stoned him to death.
14Καὶ εἶπεν Ἀχαὰβ, ἐν τίνι; καὶ εἶπε, τάδε λέγει Κύριος, ἐν τοῖς παιδαρίοις τῶν ἀρχόντων τῶν χωρῶν· καὶ εἶπεν Ἀχαὰβ, τίς συνάψει τὸν πόλεμον; καὶ εἶπε, σύ.
14And they sent to Jezabel, saying: Naboth is stoned, and is dead.
15Καὶ ἐπεσκέψατο Ἀχαὰβ τοὺς ἄρχοντας τὰ παιδάρια τῶν χωρῶν, καὶ ἐγένοντο διακόσια τριάκοντα· καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα ἐπεσκέψατο τὸν λαὸν πάντα υἱὸν δυνάμεως, ἑπτὰ χιλιάδας.
15And it came to pass when Jezabel heard that Naboth was stoned, and dead, that she said to Achab: Arise and take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezrahelite, who would not agree with thee, and give it thee for money: for Naboth is not alive, but dead.
16Καὶ ἐξῆλθε μεσημβρίας, καὶ υἱὸς Ἄδερ πίνων μεθύων ἐν Σοκχὼθ αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ βασιλεῖς, τριάκοντα καὶ δύο βασιλεῖς συμβοηθοὶ αὐτοῦ.
16And when Achab heard this, to wit, that Naboth was dead, he arose, and went down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezrahelite, to take possession of it.
17Καὶ ἐξῆλθον ἄρχοντες παιδάρια τῶν χωρῶν ἐν πρώτοις· καὶ ἀποστέλλουσι καὶ ἀπαγγέλλουσι τῷ βασιλεῖ Συρίας, λέγοντες, ἄνδρες ἐξεληλύθασιν ἐκ Σαμαρείας.
17And the word of the Lord came to Elias the Thesbite, saying:
18Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, εἰ εἰς εἰρήνην ἐκπορεύονται, συλλαβεῖν αὐτοὺς ζῶντας· καὶ εἰ εἰς πόλεμον, ζῶντας συλλαβεῖν αὐτούς·
18Arise, and go down to meet Achab king of Israel, who is in Samaria: behold he is going down to the vineyard of Naboth, to take possession of it:
19καὶ μὴ ἐξελθάτωσαν ἐκ τῆς πόλεως ἄρχοντα τὰ παιδάρια τῶν χωρῶν. Καὶ ἡ δύναμις ὀπίσω αὐτῶν
19And thou shalt speak to him, saying: Thus saith the Lord: Thou hast slain, moreover also thou hast taken possession. And after these words thou shalt add: Thus saith the Lord: In this place, wherein the dogs have licked the blood of Naboth, they shall lick thy blood also.
20ἐπάταξεν ἕκαστος τὸν παρʼ αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐδευτέρωσιν ἕκαστος τὸν παρʼ αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἔφυγε Συρία· καὶ κατεδίωξεν αὐτοὺς Ἰσραήλ· καὶ σώζεται υἱὸς Ἄδερ βασιλεὺς Συρίας ἐφʼ ἵππου ἱππέως.
20And Achab said to Elias: Hast thou found me thy enemy? He said: I have found thee, because thou art sold, to do evil in the sight of the Lord.
21Καὶ ἐξῆλθεν βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἔλαβε πάντας τοὺς ἵππους καὶ τὰ ἅρματα, καὶ ἐπάταξε πληγὴν μεγάλην ἐν Συρίᾳ.
21Behold I will bring evil upon thee, and I will cut down thy posterity, and I will kill of Achab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up, and the last in Israel.
22Καὶ προσῆλθεν ὁ προφήτης πρὸς βασιλέα Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ εἶπε, κραταιοῦ καὶ γνῶθι καὶ ἴδε τί ποιήσεις, ὅτι ἐπιστρέφοντος τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ υἱὸς Ἄδερ βασιλεὺς Συρίας ἀναβαίνει ἐπὶ σὲ.
22And I will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and like the house of Baasa the son of Ahias: for what thou hast done, to provoke me to anger, and for making Israel to sin.
23Καὶ οἱ παῖδες βασιλέως Συρίας· καὶ εἶπον, θεὸς ὀρέων Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ καὶ οὐ θεὸς κοιλάδων, διὰ τοῦτο ἐκραταίωσεν ὑπὲρ ἡμᾶς· ἐὰν δὲ πολεμήσωμεν αὐτοὺς κατʼ εὐθὺ, εἰ μὴν κραταιώσωμεν ὑπὲρ αὐτούς.
23And of Jezabel also the Lord spoke, saying: The dogs shall eat Jezabel in the field of Jezrahel.
24Καὶ τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο ποίησον· ἀπόστησον τοὺς βασιλεῖς ἕκαστον εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτῶν, καὶ θοῦ ἀντʼ αὐτῶν σατράπας,
24If Achab die in the city, the dogs shall eat him: but if he die in the field, the birds of the air shall eat him.
25καὶ ἀλλάξομέν σοι δύναμιν κατὰ τὴν δύναμιν τὴν πεσοῦσαν, καὶ ἵππον κατὰ τὴν ἵππον, καὶ ἅρματα κατὰ τὰ ἅρματα, καὶ πολεμήσομεν πρὸς αὐτοὺς κατʼ εὐθὺ, καὶ κραταιώσομεν ὑπὲρ αὐτούς· καὶ ἤκουσε τῆς φωνῆς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐποίησεν οὕτως.
25Now there was not such another as Achab, who was sold to do evil in the sight of the Lord: for his wife Jezabel set him on,
26Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐπιστρέψαντος τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ, καὶ ἐπεσκέψατο υἱὸς Ἄδερ τὴν Συρίαν, καὶ ἀνέβη εἰς Ἀφεκὰ εἰς πόλεμον ἐπὶ Ἰσραήλ.
26And he became abominable, insomuch that he followed the idols which the Amorrhites had made, whom the Lord destroyed before the face of the children of Israel.
27Καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἐπεσκέπησαν, καὶ παρεγένοντο εἰς ἀπαντὴν αὐτῶν· καὶ παρενέβαλεν Ἰσραὴλ ἐξεναντίας αὐτῶν ὡσεὶ δύο ποίμνια αἰγῶν· καὶ Συρία ἔπλησε τὴν γῆν.
27And when Achab had heard these words, he rent his garments, and put haircloth upon his flesh, and fasted and slept in sackcloth, and walked with his head cast down.
28Καὶ προσῆλθεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ εἶπε τῷ βασιλεῖ Ἰσραὴλ, τάδε λέγει Κύριος, ἀνθʼ ὧν εἶπε Συρία, θεὸς ὀρέων Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ καὶ οὐ θεὸς κοιλάδων αὐτὸς, καὶ δώσω τὴν δύναμιν τὴν μεγάλην ταύτην εἰς χεῖρα σὴν, καὶ γνώσῃ ὅτι ἐγὼ Κύριος.
28And the word of the Lord came to Elias the Thesbite, saying:
29Καὶ παρεμβάλλουσιν οὗτοι ἀπέναντι τούτων ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας· καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ, καὶ προσήγαγεν ὁ πόλεμος, καὶ ἐπάταξεν Ἰσραὴλ τὴν Συρίαν ἑκατὸν χιλιάδας πεζῶν μιᾷ ἡμέρᾳ.
29Hast thou not seen Achab humbled before me? therefore, because he hath humbled himself for my sake, I will not bring the evil in his days, but in his son’s days will I bring the evil upon his house.
30Καὶ ἔφυγον οἱ κατάλοιποι εἰς Ἀφεκὰ εἰς τὴν πόλιν, καὶ ἔπεσε τὸ τεῖχος ἐπὶ εἴκοσι καὶ ἑπτὰ χιλιάδας ἀνδρῶν τῶν καταλοίπων· καὶ υἱὸς Ἄδερ ἔφυγε καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ κοιτῶνος, εἰς τὸ ταμιεῖον.

33Καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες οἰωνίσαντο, καὶ ἐσπείσαντο· καὶ ἀνελέξαντο τὸν λόγον ἐκ τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἶπον, ἀδελφός σου υἱὸς Ἄδερ· καὶ εἶπεν, εἰσέλθατε καὶ λάβετε αὐτόν· καὶ ἐξῆλθε πρὸς αὐτὸν υἱὸς Ἄδερ, καὶ ἀναβιβάζουσιν αὐτὸν πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὸ ἅρμα.
