Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Καὶ ἀνέστη Ἠλίας προφήτης ὡς πῦρ, καὶ ὁ λόγος αὐτοῦ ὡς λαμπὰς ἐκαίετο·
1Then stood up Elias the prophet as fire, and his word burned like a lamp.
2ὃς ἐπήγαγεν ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς λιμὸν, καὶ τῷ ζήλῳ αὐτοῦ ὠλιγοποίησεν αὐτούς.
2He brought a sore famine upon them, and by his zeal he diminished their number.
3Ἐν λόγῳ Κυρίου ἀνέσχεν οὐρανὸν, κατήγαγεν οὕτως τρὶς πῦρ.
3By the word of the Lord he shut up the heaven, and also three times brought down fire.
4Ὡς ἐδοξάσθης Ἠλία ἐν τοῖς θαυμασίοις σου; καὶ τίς ὅμοιός σοι καυχᾶσθαι;
4O Elias, how wast thou honoured in thy wondrous deeds! and who may glory like unto thee!
5Ὁ ἐγείρας νεκρὸν ἐκ θυνάτου καὶ ἐξ ᾅδου ἐν λόγῳ ὑψίστου·
5Who didst raise up a dead man from death, and his soul from the place of the dead, by the word of the most High:
6ὁ καταγαγὼν βασιλεῖς εἰς ἀπώλειαν, καὶ δεδοξασμένους ἀπὸ κλίνης αὐτῶν·
6Who broughtest kings to destruction, and honorable men from their bed:
7ὁ ἀκούων ἐν Σινᾷ ἐλεγμὸν, καὶ ἐν Χωρὴβ κρίματα ἐκδικήσεως·
7Who heardest the rebuke of the Lord in Sinai, and in Horeb the judgment of vengeance:
8ὁ χρίων βασιλεῖς εἰς ἀνταπόδομα, καὶ προφήτας διαδόχους μετʼ αὐτόν·
8Who annointedst kings to take revenge, and prophets to succeed after him:
9ὁ ἀναληφθεὶς ἐν λαίλαπι πυρὸς ἐν ἅρματι ἵππων πυρίνων·
9Who was taken up in a whirlwind of fire, and in a chariot of fiery horses:
10ὁ καταγραφεὶς ἐν ἐλεγμοῖς εἰς καιροὺς, κοπάσαι ὀργὴν πρὸ θυμοῦ, καὶ ἐπιστρέψαι καρδίαν πατρὸς πρὸς υἱὸν, καὶ καταστῆσαι φυλὰς Ἰακώβ.
10Who wast ordained for reproofs in their times, to pacify the wrath of the Lord’s judgment, before it brake forth into fury, and to turn the heart of the father unto the son, and to restore the tribes of Jacob.
11Μακάριοι οἱ ἰδόντες σε, καὶ οἱ ἐν ἀγαπήσει κεκοσμημένοι· καὶ γὰρ ἡμεῖς ζωῇ ζησόμεθα.
11Blessed are they that saw thee, and slept in love; for we shall surely live.
12Ἠλίας, ὃς ἐν λαίλαπι ἐσκεπάσθη· καὶ Ἐλισαιὲ ἐνεπλήσθη πνεύματος αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐν ἡμέραις αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐσαλεύθη ὑπὸ ἄρχοντος, καὶ οὐ κατεδυνάστευσεν αὐτὸν οὐδείς.
12Elias it was, who was covered with a whirlwind: and Eliseus was filled with his spirit: whilst he lived, he was not moved with the presence of any prince, neither could any bring him into subjection.
13Πᾶς λόγος οὐχ ὑπερῇρεν αὐτὸν, καὶ ἐν κοιμήσει ἐπροφήτευσε τὸ σῶμα αὐτοῦ.
13No word could overcome him; and after his death his body prophesied.
14Καὶ ἐν ζωῇ αὐτοῦ ἐποίησε τέρατα. καὶ ἐν τελευτῇ θαυμάσια τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ.
14He did wonders in his life, and at his death were his works marvellous.
15Ἐν πᾶσι τούτοις οὐ μετενόησεν ὁ λαὸς, καὶ οὐκ ἀπέστησαν ἀπὸ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν, ἕως ἐπρονομεύθησαν ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐσκορπίσθησαν ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ· καὶ κατελείφθη ὁ λαὸς ὀλιγοστὸς, καὶ ἄρχων τῷ οἴκῳ Δαυίδ.
15For all this the people repented not, neither departed they from their sins, till they were spoiled and carried out of their land, and were scattered through all the earth: yet there remained a small people, and a ruler in the house of David:
16Τινὲς μὲν αὐτῶν ἐποίησαν τὸ ἀρεστὸν, τινὲς δὲ ἐπλήθυναν ἁμαρτίας.
16Of whom some did that which was pleasing to God, and some multiplied sins.
17Ἐζεκίας ὠχύρωσε τὴν πόλιν αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἰσήγαγεν εἰς μέσον αὐτῶν τὸν Γώγ· ὤρυξε σιδήρῳ ἀκρότομον, καὶ ᾠκοδόμησε κρήνας εἰς ὕδατα.
17Ezekias fortified his city, and brought in water into the midst thereof: he digged the hard rock with iron, and made wells for waters.
18Ἐν ἡμέραις αὐτοῦ ἀνέβη Σενναχηρὶμ, καὶ ἀπέστειλε Ῥαψάκην, καὶ ἀπῇρε· καὶ ἐπῇρεν ἡ χεὶρ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ Σιὼν, καὶ ἐμεγαλαύχησεν ὑπερηφανίᾳ αὐτοῦ.
18In his time Sennacherib came up, and sent Rabsaces, and lifted up his hand against Sion, and boasted proudly.
19Τότε ἐσαλεύθησαν καρδίαι καὶ χεῖρες αὐτῶν, καὶ ὠδίνησαν ὡς αἱ τίκτουσαι.
19Then trembled their hearts and hands, and they were in pain, as women in travail.
20Καὶ ἐπεκαλέσαντο τὸν Κύριον τὸν ἐλεήμονα, ἐκπετάσαντες τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν πρὸς αὐτόν· καὶ ὁ ἅγιος ἐξ οὐρανοῦ ταχὺ ἐπήκουσεν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐλυτρώσατο αὐτοὺς ἐν χειρὶ Ἡσαΐου.
20But they called upon the Lord which is merciful, and stretched out their hands toward him: and immediately the Holy One heard them out of heaven, and delivered them by the ministry of Esay.
21Ἐπάταξε τὴν παρεμβολὴν τῶν Ἀσσυρίων, καὶ ἐξέτριψεν αὐτοὺς ὁ ἄγγελος αὐτοῦ.
21He smote the host of the Assyrians, and his angel destroyed them.
22Ἐποίησε γὰρ Ἐζεκίας τὸ ἀρεστὸν Κυρίῳ, καὶ ἐνίσχυσεν ἐν ὁδοῖς Δαυὶδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, ἃς ἐνετείλατο Ἡσαΐας ὁ προφήτης ὁ μέγας, καὶ πιστὸς ἐν ὁράσει αὐτοῦ.
22For Ezekias had done the thing that pleased the Lord, and was strong in the ways of David his father, as Esay the prophet, who was great and faithful in his vision, had commanded him.
23Ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις αὐτοῦ ἀνεπόδισεν ὁ ἥλιος, καὶ προσέθηκε ζωὴν βασιλεῖ·
23In his time the sun went backward, and he lengthened the king’s life.
24Πνεύματι μεγάλῳ εἶδε τὰ ἔσχατα, καὶ παρεκάλεσε τοὺς πενθοῦντας ἐν Σιών.
24He saw by an excellent spirit what should come to pass at the last, and he comforted them that mourned in Sion.
25Ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος ὑπέδειξε τὰ ἐσόμενα, καὶ τὰ ἀπόκρυφα πρινὴ παραγενέσθαι αὐτά.
25He shewed what should come to pass for ever, and secret things or ever they came.
