Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1In the second year of Joash, son of Joahaz, king of Israel, Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah began to reign.
1ΕΝ ἔτει δευτέρῳ τῶ Ἰωὰς υἱῷ Ἰωάχαζ βασιλεῖ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ἀμεσσίας υἱὸς Ἰωὰς βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα.
2He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jehoaddin of Jerusalem.
2υἱὸς εἴκοσι καὶ πέντε ἐτῶν ἦν ἐν τῷ βασιλεύειν αὐτὸν καὶ εἴκοσι καὶ ἐννέα ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ, καὶ ὄνομα τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ Ἰωαδὶμ ἐξ Ἱερουσαλήμ.
3He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, yet not like David his father. He did according to all that Joash his father had done.
3καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ εὐθὲς ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Κυρίου, πλὴν οὐχ ὡς Δαυὶδ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ· κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησεν Ἰωὰς ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ, ἐποίησε·
4However the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burned incense in the high places.
4πλὴν τὰ ὑψηλὰ οὐκ ἐξῇρεν, ἔτι ὁ λαὸς ἐθυσίαζε καὶ ἐθυμίων ἐν τοῖς ὑψηλοῖς.
5As soon as the kingdom was established in his hand, he killed his servants who had slain the king his father,
5καὶ ἐγένετο ὅτε κατίσχυεν ἡ βασιλεία ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπάταξε τοὺς δούλους αὐτοῦ τοὺς πατάξαντας τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ·
6but the children of the murderers he didn’t put to death, according to that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, as the LORD commanded, saying, “The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall die for his own sin.”
6καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς τῶν παταξάντων οὐκ ἐθανάτωσε, καθὼς γέγραπται ἐν βιβλίῳ νόμων Μωυσῆ, ὡς ἐνετείλατο Κύριος λέγων· οὐκ ἀποθανοῦνται πατέρες ὑπὲρ υἱῶν, καὶ υἱοὶ οὐκ ἀποθανοῦνται ὑπὲρ πατέρων, ὅτι ἀλλ᾿ ἢ ἕκαστος ἐν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις αὐτοῦ ἀποθανεῖται.
7He killed ten thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt, and took Sela by war, and called its name Joktheel, to this day.
7αὐτὸς ἐπάταξε τὴν Ἐδὼμ ἐν Γαιμελὲ δέκα χιλιάδας καὶ συνέλαβε τὴν Πέτραν ἐν τῷ πολέμῳ καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῆς Καθοὴλ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης.
8Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, “Come, let’s look one another in the face.”
8τότε ἀπέστειλεν Ἀμεσσίας ἀγγέλους πρὸς Ἰωὰς υἱὸν Ἰωάχαζ υἱοῦ Ἰοὺ βασιλέως Ἰσραὴλ λέγων· δεῦρο ὀφθῶμεν προσώποις.
9Jehoash the king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, “The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son as wife.’ Then a wild animal that was in Lebanon passed by, and trampled down the thistle.
9καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ἰωὰς βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς Ἀμεσσίαν βασιλέα Ἰούδα λέγων· ὁ ἄκαν ὁ ἐν τῷ Λιβάνῳ ἀπέστειλε πρὸς τὴν κέδρον τὴν ἐν τῷ Λιβάνῳ λέγων· δὸς τὴν θυγατέρα σου τῷ υἱῷ μου εἰς γυναῖκα· καὶ διῆλθον τὰ θηρία τοῦ ἀγροῦ τὰ ἐν τῷ Λιβάνῳ καὶ συνεπάτησαν τὴν ἄκανα.
10You have indeed struck Edom, and your heart has lifted you up. Enjoy the glory of it, and stay at home; for why should you meddle to your harm, that you fall, even you, and Judah with you?”
10τύπτων ἐπάταξας τὴν Ἰδουμαίαν, καὶ ἐπῇρέ σε καρδία σου· ἐνδοξάσθητι καθήμενος ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ σου, καὶ ἱνατί ἐρίζεις ἐν κακίᾳ σου; καὶ πεσῇ σὺ καὶ Ἰούδας μετὰ σοῦ.
11But Amaziah would not listen. So Jehoash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah.
11καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσεν Ἀμεσσίας. καὶ ἀνέβη Ἰωὰς βασιλεὺς Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ὤφθησαν προσώποις αὐτὸς καὶ Ἀμεσσίας βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα ἐν Βαιθσαμὺς τῇ τοῦ Ἰούδα·
12Judah was defeated by Israel; and each man fled to his tent.
12καὶ ἔπταισεν Ἰούδας ἀπὸ προσώπου Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἔφυγεν ἀνὴρ εἰς τὸ σκήνωμα αὐτοῦ·
13Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Beth Shemesh and came to Jerusalem, then broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.
13καὶ τὸν Ἀμεσσίαν υἱὸν Ἰωὰς υἱοῦ Ὀχοζίου συνέλαβεν Ἰωὰς βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ ἐν Βαιθσαμύς. καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ καθεῖλεν ἐν τῷ τείχει Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐν τῇ πύλῃ Ἐφραὶμ ἕως πύλης τῆς γωνίας τετρακοσίους πήχεις·
14He took all the gold and silver and all the vessels that were found in the LORD’s house and in the treasures of the king’s house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.
14καὶ ἔλαβεν τὸ χρυσίον καὶ τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη τὰ εὑρεθέντα ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου καὶ ἐν θησαυροῖς οἴκου τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς τῶν συμμίξεων καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν εἰς Σαμάρειαν.
15Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash which he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
15καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ἰωάς, ὅσα ἐποίησεν ἐν δυναστείᾳ αὐτοῦ, ἃ ἐπολέμησε μετὰ Ἀμεσσίου βασιλέως Ἰούδα, οὐχὶ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν Ἰσραήλ;
16Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son reigned in his place.
16καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Ἰωὰς μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ μετὰ τῶν βασιλέων Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ἱεροβοὰμ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ᾿ αὐτοῦ.
17Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel, fifteen years.
17καὶ ἔζησεν Ἀμεσσίας υἱὸς Ἰωὰς βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα μετὰ τὸ ἀποθανεῖν Ἰωὰς υἱὸν Ἰωάχαζ βασιλέα Ἰσραὴλ πεντεκαίδεκα ἔτη.
18Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
18καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ἀμεσσίου καὶ πάντα, ὅσα ἐποίησεν, οὐχὶ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν Ἰούδα;
19They made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish; but they sent after him to Lachish and killed him there.
19καὶ συνεστράφησαν ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν σύστρεμμα ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ, καὶ ἔφυγεν εἰς Λαχίς· καὶ ἀπέστειλαν ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ εἰς Λαχὶς καὶ ἐθανάτωσαν αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ.
20They brought him on horses, and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in David’s city.
20καὶ ᾖραν αὐτὸν ἐφ᾿ ἵππων, καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ ἐν πόλει Δαυίδ.
21All the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the place of his father Amaziah.
21καὶ ἔλαβε πᾶς ὁ λαὸς Ἰούδα τὸν Ἀζαρίαν καὶ αὐτὸς υἱὸς ἑκκαίδεκα ἐτῶν καὶ ἐβασίλευσαν αὐτὸν ἀντὶ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ Ἀμεσσίου.
22He built Elath and restored it to Judah. After that the king slept with his fathers.
22αὐτὸς ᾠκοδόμησε τὴν Αἰλὼθ καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν αὐτὴν τῷ Ἰούδᾳ μετὰ τὸ κοιμηθῆναι τὸν βασιλέα μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ.
23In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah, Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel began to reign in Samaria for forty-one years.
23Ἐν ἔτει πεντεκαιδεκάτῳ τοῦ Ἀμεσσίου υἱῷ Ἰωὰς βασιλεῖ Ἰούδα ἐβασίλευσεν Ἱεροβοὰμ υἱὸς Ἰωὰς ἐπὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ τεσσαράκοντα καὶ ἓν ἔτος.
24He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight. He didn’t depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin.
24καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου· οὐκ ἀπέστη ἀπὸ πασῶν ἁμαρτιῶν Ἱεροβοὰμ υἱοῦ Ναβάτ, ὃς ἐξήμαρτε τὸν Ἰσραήλ.
25He restored the border of Israel from the entrance of Hamath to the sea of the Arabah, according to the LORD, the God of Israel’s word, which he spoke by his servant Jonah the son of Amittai, the prophet, who was from Gath Hepher.
25αὐτὸς ἀπέστησε τὸ ὅριον Ἰσραὴλ ἀπὸ εἰσόδου Αἰμὰθ ἕως τῆς θαλάσσης τῆς Ἄραβα κατὰ τὸ ρῆμα Κυρίου Θεοῦ Ἰσραήλ, ὃ ἐλάλησεν ἐν χειρὶ δούλου αὐτοῦ Ἰωνᾶ υἱοῦ Ἀμαθὶ τοῦ προφήτου τοῦ ἐν Γεθχοφέρ.
26For the LORD saw the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter for all, slave and free; and there was no helper for Israel.
26ὅτι εἶδε Κύριος τὴν ταπείνωσιν Ἰσραὴλ πικρὰν σφόδρα καὶ ὀλιγοστοὺς συνεχομένους καὶ ἐσπανισμένους καὶ ἐγκαταλελειμμένους, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ βοηθῶν τῷ Ἰσραήλ.
27The LORD didn’t say that he would blot out the name of Israel from under the sky; but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.
27καὶ οὐκ ἐλάλησε Κύριος ἐξαλεῖψαι τὸ σπέρμα Ἰσραὴλ ὑποκάτωθεν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ἔσωσεν αὐτοὺς διὰ χειρὸς Ἱεροβοὰμ υἱοῦ Ἰωάς.
28Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might, how he fought, and how he recovered Damascus, and Hamath, which had belonged to Judah, for Israel, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
28καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ἱεροβοὰμ καὶ πάντα, ὅσα ἐποίησε, καὶ αἱ δυναστεῖαι αὐτοῦ, ὅσα ἐπολέμησε καὶ ὅσα ἐπέστρεψε τὴν Δαμασκὸν καὶ τὴν Αἰμὰθ τῷ Ἰούδᾳ ἐν Ἰσραήλ, οὐχὶ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν Ἰσραήλ;
29Jeroboam slept with his fathers, even with the kings of Israel; and Zechariah his son reigned in his place.
29καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Ἱεροβοὰμ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ μετὰ βασιλέων Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἐβασίλευσε Ζαχαρίας υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ᾿ αὐτοῦ.
