The Third Book of Kingdoms, Chapter 16ΒΑΣΙΛΕΙΩΝ Γ′ ΙϚ′

καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου ἐν χειρὶ Ιου υἱοῦ Ανανι πρὸς Βαασα

And the word of the LORD came by the hand of Jehu son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,

ἀνθ᾿ ὧν ὕψωσά σε ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς καὶ ἔδωκά σε ἡγούμενον ἐπὶ τὸν λαόν μου Ισραηλ καὶ ἐπορεύθης ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ Ιεροβοαμ καὶ ἐξήμαρτες τὸν λαόν μου τὸν Ισραηλ τοῦ παροργίσαι με ἐν τοῖς ματαίοις αὐτῶν

Because I exalted you from the earth and made you leader over my people Israel, and you walked in the way of Jeroboam and made my people Israel to sin, provoking me with their vanities,

ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐξεγείρω ὀπίσω Βαασα καὶ ὄπισθεν τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ καὶ δώσω τὸν οἶκόν σου ὡς τὸν οἶκον Ιεροβοαμ υἱοῦ Ναβατ

behold, I am stirring up after Baasha and after his house, and I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam son of Nabat.

τὸν τεθνηκότα τοῦ Βαασα ἐν τῇ πόλει καταφάγονται αὐτὸν οἱ κύνες καὶ τὸν τεθνηκότα αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ καταφάγονται αὐτὸν τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ

Him of Baasha who dies in the city the dogs shall devour, and him of his who dies in the field the birds of heaven shall devour.

καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Βαασα καὶ πάντα ἃ ἐποίησεν καὶ αἱ δυναστεῖαι αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἰδοὺ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐν βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τῶν βασιλέων Ισραηλ

And the rest of the acts of Baasha, and all that he did, and his deeds of might — are these not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Βαασα μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ καὶ θάπτεται ἐν Θερσα καὶ βασιλεύει Ηλα υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ εἰκοστῷ ἔτει βασιλέως Ασα

And Baasha slept with his fathers and is buried in Tirzah, and Elah his son reigns in his place in the twentieth year of King Asa.

καὶ ἐν χειρὶ Ιου υἱοῦ Ανανι ἐλάλησεν κύριος ἐπὶ Βαασα καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ πᾶσαν τὴν κακίαν ἣν ἐποίησεν ἐνώπιον κυρίου τοῦ παροργίσαι αὐτὸν ἐν τοῖς ἔργοις τῶν χειρῶν αὐτοῦ τοῦ εἶναι κατὰ τὸν οἶκον Ιεροβοαμ καὶ ὑπὲρ τοῦ πατάξαι αὐτόν

And by the hand of Jehu son of Hanani the LORD spoke against Baasha and against his house — all the evil that he did before the LORD, provoking him to anger by the works of his hands, by being like the house of Jeroboam — and because he struck him down.

καὶ Ηλα υἱὸς Βαασα ἐβασίλευσεν ἐπὶ Ισραηλ δύο ἔτη ἐν Θερσα

And Elah son of Baasha reigned over Israel two years in Tirzah.

καὶ συνέστρεψεν ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν Ζαμβρι ὁ ἄρχων τῆς ἡμίσους τῆς ἵππου καὶ αὐτὸς ἦν ἐν Θερσα πίνων μεθύων ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ Ωσα τοῦ οἰκονόμου ἐν Θερσα

And Zimri, the commander of half the cavalry, conspired against him; and he was in Tirzah drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza the steward in Tirzah.

καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Ζαμβρι καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐθανάτωσεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ἀντ᾿ αὐτοῦ

And Zimri went in and struck him and killed him, and reigned in his place.

καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν τῷ βασιλεῦσαι αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ καθίσαι αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπάταξεν ὅλον τὸν οἶκον Βαασα

And it happened, when he became king, as soon as he sat on his throne, that he struck down the whole house of Baasha.

κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα ὃ ἐλάλησεν κύριος ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον Βαασα πρὸς Ιου τὸν προφήτην

according to the word that the LORD spoke against the house of Baasha through Jehu the prophet,

περὶ πασῶν τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν Βαασα καὶ Ηλα τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ ὡς ἐξήμαρτεν τὸν Ισραηλ τοῦ παροργίσαι κύριον τὸν θεὸν Ισραηλ ἐν τοῖς ματαίοις αὐτῶν

concerning all the sins of Baasha and of Elah his son, in that he made Israel to sin, provoking the LORD the God of Israel with their vanities.

καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ηλα καὶ πάντα ἃ ἐποίησεν οὐκ ἰδοὺ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐν βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τῶν βασιλέων Ισραηλ

And the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did — are these not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

καὶ Ζαμβρι ἐβασίλευσεν ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας ἐν Θερσα καὶ ἡ παρεμβολὴ Ισραηλ ἐπὶ Γαβαθων τὴν τῶν ἀλλοφύλων

And Zimri reigned seven days in Tirzah, while the army of Israel was encamped against Gibbethon of the Philistines.

καὶ ἤκουσεν ὁ λαὸς ἐν τῇ παρεμβολῇ λεγόντων συνεστράφη Ζαμβρι καὶ ἔπαισεν τὸν βασιλέα καὶ ἐβασίλευσαν ἐν Ισραηλ τὸν Αμβρι τὸν ἡγούμενον τῆς στρατιᾶς ἐπὶ Ισραηλ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἐν τῇ παρεμβολῇ

And the people in the camp heard it said, 'Zimri has conspired and struck down the king'; and they made Omri, the commander of the army, king over Israel on that day in the camp.

καὶ ἀνέβη Αμβρι καὶ πᾶς Ισραηλ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἐκ Γαβαθων καὶ περιεκάθισαν ἐπὶ Θερσα

And Omri went up, and all Israel with him, from Gibbethon, and they besieged Tirzah.

καὶ ἐγενήθη ὡς εἶδεν Ζαμβρι ὅτι προκατείλημπται αὐτοῦ ἡ πόλις καὶ εἰσπορεύεται εἰς ἄντρον τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ἐνεπύρισεν ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν τὸν οἶκον τοῦ βασιλέως ἐν πυρὶ καὶ ἀπέθανεν

And it happened, when Zimri saw that his city was already taken, that he went into the inner chamber of the king's house and burned the king's house down over himself with fire, and died,

ὑπὲρ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν αὐτοῦ ὧν ἐποίησεν τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον κυρίου πορευθῆναι ἐν ὁδῷ Ιεροβοαμ υἱοῦ Ναβατ καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις αὐτοῦ ὡς ἐξήμαρτεν τὸν Ισραηλ

because of his sins which he committed, doing what was evil before the LORD, walking in the way of Jeroboam son of Nabat, and in his sins, in that he made Israel to sin.

καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ζαμβρι καὶ τὰς συνάψεις αὐτοῦ ἃς συνῆψεν οὐκ ἰδοὺ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐν βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τῶν βασιλέων Ισραηλ

And the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his conspiracies which he made — are these not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

τότε μερίζεται ὁ λαὸς Ισραηλ ἥμισυ τοῦ λαοῦ γίνεται ὀπίσω Θαμνι υἱοῦ Γωναθ τοῦ βασιλεῦσαι αὐτόν καὶ τὸ ἥμισυ τοῦ λαοῦ γίνεται ὀπίσω Αμβρι

Then the people of Israel were divided: half the people went after Tibni son of Ginath to make him king, and half the people went after Omri.

ὁ λαὸς ὁ ὢν ὀπίσω Αμβρι ὑπερεκράτησεν τὸν λαὸν τὸν ὀπίσω Θαμνι υἱοῦ Γωναθ καὶ ἀπέθανεν Θαμνι καὶ Ιωραμ ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Αμβρι μετὰ Θαμνι

The people who were after Omri prevailed over the people who were after Tibni son of Ginath; and Tibni died, and Joram his brother, at that time, and Omri reigned after Tibni.

ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ τριακοστῷ καὶ πρώτῳ τοῦ βασιλέως Ασα βασιλεύει Αμβρι ἐπὶ Ισραηλ δώδεκα ἔτη ἐν Θερσα βασιλεύει ἓξ ἔτη

In the thirty-first year of King Asa, Omri reigns over Israel twelve years; in Tirzah he reigns six years.

καὶ ἐκτήσατο Αμβρι τὸ ὄρος τὸ Σεμερων παρὰ Σεμηρ τοῦ κυρίου τοῦ ὄρους δύο ταλάντων ἀργυρίου καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν τὸ ὄρος καὶ ἐπεκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ ὄρους οὗ ᾠκοδόμεσεν ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι Σεμηρ τοῦ κυρίου τοῦ ὄρους Σαεμηρων

And Omri bought the hill of Shemeron from Shemer the owner of the hill for two talents of silver, and he built on the hill and called the name of the hill that he built, after the name of Shemer the owner of the hill, Saemeron.

καὶ ἐποίησεν Αμβρι τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον κυρίου καὶ ἐπονηρεύσατο ὑπὲρ πάντας τοὺς γενομένους ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ

And Omri did what was evil before the LORD, and did worse than all who were before him.

καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐν πάσῃ ὁδῷ Ιεροβοαμ υἱοῦ Ναβατ καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις αὐτοῦ αἷς ἐξήμαρτεν τὸν Ισραηλ τοῦ παροργίσαι τὸν κύριον θεὸν Ισραηλ ἐν τοῖς ματαίοις αὐτῶν

And he walked in all the way of Jeroboam son of Nabat and in his sins, by which he made Israel to sin, provoking the LORD God of Israel with their vanities.

καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Αμβρι καὶ πάντα ἃ ἐποίησεν καὶ ἡ δυναστεία αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἰδοὺ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐν βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τῶν βασιλέων Ισραηλ

And the rest of the acts of Omri, and all that he did, and his might — are these not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Αμβρι μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ καὶ θάπτεται ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ καὶ βασιλεύει Αχααβ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ᾿ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν τῷ ἐνιαυτῷ τῷ ἑνδεκάτῳ τοῦ Αμβρι βασιλεύει Ιωσαφατ υἱὸς Ασα ἐτῶν τριάκοντα καὶ πέντε ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ αὐτοῦ καὶ εἴκοσι πέντε ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ιερουσαλημ καὶ ὄνομα τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ Γαζουβα θυγάτηρ Σελεϊ καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ Ασα τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἐξέκλινεν ἀπ᾿ αὐτῆς τοῦ ποιεῖν τὸ εὐθὲς ἐνώπιον κυρίου πλὴν τῶν ὑψηλῶν οὐκ ἐξῆραν ἔθυον ἐν τοῖς ὑψηλοῖς καὶ ἐθυμίων καὶ ἃ συνέθετο Ιωσαφατ καὶ πᾶσα ἡ δυναστεία ἣν ἐποίησεν καὶ οὓς ἐπολέμησεν οὐκ ἰδοὺ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐν βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τῶν βασιλέων Ιουδα καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν συμπλοκῶν ἃς ἐπέθεντο ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Ασα τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ἐξῆρεν ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς καὶ βασιλεὺς οὐκ ἦν ἐν Συρίᾳ νασιβ καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Ιωσαφατ ἐποίησεν ναῦν εἰς Θαρσις πορεύεσθαι εἰς Σωφιρ ἐπὶ τὸ χρυσίον καὶ οὐκ ἐπορεύθη ὅτι συνετρίβη ἡ ναῦς ἐν Γασιωνγαβερ τότε εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ πρὸς Ιωσαφατ ἐξαποστελῶ τοὺς παῖδάς σου καὶ τὰ παιδάριά μου ἐν τῇ νηί καὶ οὐκ ἐβούλετο Ιωσαφατ καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Ιωσαφατ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ καὶ θάπτεται μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ ἐν πόλει Δαυιδ καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ιωραμ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ᾿ αὐτοῦ

And Omri slept with his fathers and is buried in Samaria, and Ahab his son reigns in his place. And in the eleventh year of Omri, Jehoshaphat son of Asa reigns, thirty-five years old at his accession, and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem; and the name of his mother was Gazouba, daughter of Selei. And he walked in the way of Asa his father and did not turn aside from it, doing what was right before the LORD; only the high places they did not remove — they were sacrificing on the high places and burning incense. And the things that Jehoshaphat agreed, and all his might that he exercised, and those whom he warred against — are these not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? And the rest of the leagues which they laid in the days of Asa his father, he removed from the land. And there was no king in Syria, [but] a deputy. And King Jehoshaphat built a ship to go to Tarshish, to Sophir for the gold, but it did not go, because the ship was wrecked at Gasiongaber. Then the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, 'I will send your servants and my young men in the ship'; but Jehoshaphat would not. And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers and is buried with his fathers in the city of David, and Joram his son reigned in his place.

ἐν ἔτει δευτέρῳ τῷ Ιωσαφατ βασιλεύει Αχααβ υἱὸς Αμβρι ἐβασίλευσεν ἐπὶ Ισραηλ ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ εἴκοσι καὶ δύο ἔτη

In the second year of Jehoshaphat, Ahab son of Omri reigns; he reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty-two years.

καὶ ἐποίησεν Αχααβ τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον κυρίου ἐπονηρεύσατο ὑπὲρ πάντας τοὺς ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ

And Ahab did what was evil before the LORD; he did worse than all who were before him.

καὶ οὐκ ἦν αὐτῷ ἱκανὸν τοῦ πορεύεσθαι ἐν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις Ιεροβοαμ υἱοῦ Ναβατ καὶ ἔλαβεν γυναῖκα τὴν Ιεζαβελ θυγατέρα Ιεθεβααλ βασιλέως Σιδωνίων καὶ ἐπορεύθη καὶ ἐδούλευσεν τῷ Βααλ καὶ προσεκύνησεν αὐτῷ

And it was not enough for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam son of Nabat; he also took as wife Jezebel, daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and went and served Baal and worshiped him.

καὶ ἔστησεν θυσιαστήριον τῷ Βααλ ἐν οἴκῳ τῶν προσοχθισμάτων αὐτοῦ ὃν ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ

And he set up an altar to Baal in the house of his abominations, which he built in Samaria.

καὶ ἐποίησεν Αχααβ ἄλσος καὶ προσέθηκεν Αχααβ τοῦ ποιῆσαι παροργίσματα τοῦ παροργίσαι τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ τοῦ ἐξολεθρευθῆναι ἐκακοποίησεν ὑπὲρ πάντας τοὺς βασιλεῖς Ισραηλ τοὺς γενομένους ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ

And Ahab made a grove, and Ahab continued to make provocations, provoking his own soul to its destruction; he did evil beyond all the kings of Israel who were before him.

ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις αὐτοῦ ᾠκοδόμησεν Αχιηλ ὁ Βαιθηλίτης τὴν Ιεριχω ἐν τῷ Αβιρων τῷ πρωτοτόκῳ αὐτοῦ ἐθεμελίωσεν αὐτὴν καὶ τῷ Σεγουβ τῷ νεωτέρῳ αὐτοῦ ἐπέστησεν θύρας αὐτῆς κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα κυρίου ὃ ἐλάλησεν ἐν χειρὶ Ιησου υἱοῦ Ναυη

In his days Hiel the Bethelite built Jericho: at the cost of Abiram his firstborn he laid its foundation, and at the cost of Segub his youngest he set up its gates, according to the word of the LORD that he spoke by the hand of Joshua son of Nun.
