The Fourth Book of Kingdoms, Chapter 8ΒΑΣΙΛΕΙΩΝ Δ′ Η′

καὶ Ελισαιε ἐλάλησεν πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα ἧς ἐζωπύρησεν τὸν υἱόν λέγων ἀνάστηθι καὶ δεῦρο σὺ καὶ ὁ οἶκός σου καὶ παροίκει οὗ ἐὰν παροικήσῃς ὅτι κέκληκεν κύριος λιμὸν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν καί γε ἦλθεν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἑπτὰ ἔτη

And Elisha spoke to the woman whose son he had revived, saying, 'Arise, and go, you and your household, and sojourn wherever you may sojourn; for the LORD has summoned a famine upon the land, and it has indeed come upon the land for seven years.'

καὶ ἀνέστη ἡ γυνὴ καὶ ἐποίησεν κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα Ελισαιε καὶ ἐπορεύθη αὐτὴ καὶ ὁ οἶκος αὐτῆς καὶ παρῴκει ἐν γῇ ἀλλοφύλων ἑπτὰ ἔτη

And the woman arose and did according to the word of Elisha, and she went, she and her household, and sojourned in the land of the Philistines for seven years.

καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ τὸ τέλος τῶν ἑπτὰ ἐτῶν καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν ἡ γυνὴ ἐκ γῆς ἀλλοφύλων εἰς τὴν πόλιν καὶ ἦλθεν βοῆσαι πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα περὶ τοῦ οἴκου ἑαυτῆς καὶ περὶ τῶν ἀγρῶν ἑαυτῆς

And it came to pass after the end of the seven years that the woman returned from the land of the Philistines to the city, and she came to cry out to the king concerning her house and concerning her fields.

καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐλάλει πρὸς Γιεζι τὸ παιδάριον Ελισαιε τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τοῦ θεοῦ λέγων διήγησαι δή μοι πάντα τὰ μεγάλα ἃ ἐποίησεν Ελισαιε

Now the king was speaking to Gehazi the servant of Elisha the man of God, saying, 'Recount to me, please, all the great things that Elisha did.'

καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτοῦ ἐξηγουμένου τῷ βασιλεῖ ὡς ἐζωπύρησεν υἱὸν τεθνηκότα καὶ ἰδοὺ ἡ γυνή ἧς ἐζωπύρησεν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς Ελισαιε βοῶσα πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα περὶ τοῦ οἴκου ἑαυτῆς καὶ περὶ τῶν ἀγρῶν ἑαυτῆς καὶ εἶπεν Γιεζι κύριε βασιλεῦ αὕτη ἡ γυνή καὶ οὗτος ὁ υἱὸς αὐτῆς ὃν ἐζωπύρησεν Ελισαιε

And it came to pass, as he was recounting to the king how he revived a dead son, that behold, the very woman whose son Elisha had revived was crying out to the king concerning her house and concerning her fields; and Gehazi said, 'My lord the king, this is the woman, and this is her son whom Elisha revived.'

καὶ ἐπηρώτησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὴν γυναῖκα καὶ διηγήσατο αὐτῷ καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῇ ὁ βασιλεὺς εὐνοῦχον ἕνα λέγων ἐπίστρεψον πάντα τὰ αὐτῆς καὶ πάντα τὰ γενήματα τοῦ ἀγροῦ αὐτῆς ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας ἧς κατέλιπεν τὴν γῆν ἕως τοῦ νῦν

And the king questioned the woman, and she recounted it to him; and the king gave her a single eunuch, saying, 'Restore all that is hers and all the produce of her field from the day she left the land until now.'

καὶ ἦλθεν Ελισαιε εἰς Δαμασκόν καὶ υἱὸς Αδερ βασιλεὺς Συρίας ἠρρώστει καὶ ἀνήγγειλαν αὐτῷ λέγοντες ἥκει ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ θεοῦ ἕως ὧδε

And Elisha came to Damascus, and Ben-Hadad king of Syria was sick; and they reported to him, saying, 'The man of God has come as far as here.'

καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς Αζαηλ λαβὲ ἐν τῇ χειρί σου μαναα καὶ δεῦρο εἰς ἀπαντὴν τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ἐπιζήτησον τὸν κύριον παρ᾿ αὐτοῦ λέγων εἰ ζήσομαι ἐκ τῆς ἀρρωστίας μου ταύτης

And the king said to Hazael, 'Take a gift in your hand, and go to meet the man of God, and inquire of the LORD through him, saying, "Shall I recover from this sickness of mine?"'

καὶ ἐπορεύθη Αζαηλ εἰς ἀπαντὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔλαβεν μαναα ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ πάντα τὰ ἀγαθὰ Δαμασκοῦ ἄρσιν τεσσαράκοντα καμήλων καὶ ἦλθεν καὶ ἔστη ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς Ελισαιε ὁ υἱός σου υἱὸς Αδερ βασιλεὺς Συρίας ἀπέστειλέν με πρὸς σὲ λέγων εἰ ζήσομαι ἐκ τῆς ἀρρωστίας μου ταύτης

And Hazael went to meet him and took a gift in his hand, and all the good things of Damascus, a load for forty camels; and he came and stood before him and said, 'Your son Ben-Hadad king of Syria has sent me to you, saying, "Shall I recover from this sickness of mine?"'

καὶ εἶπεν Ελισαιε δεῦρο εἰπὸν αὐτῷ ζωῇ ζήσῃ καὶ ἔδειξέν μοι κύριος ὅτι θανάτῳ ἀποθανῇ

And Elisha said, 'Go, say to him, "You shall surely live"; yet the LORD has shown me that he shall surely die.'

καὶ παρέστη τῷ προσώπῳ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔθηκεν ἕως αἰσχύνης καὶ ἔκλαυσεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ θεοῦ

And he set his face and fixed it until he was ashamed, and the man of God wept.

καὶ εἶπεν Αζαηλ τί ὅτι ὁ κύριός μου κλαίει καὶ εἶπεν ὅτι οἶδα ὅσα ποιήσεις τοῖς υἱοῖς Ισραηλ κακά τὰ ὀχυρώματα αὐτῶν ἐξαποστελεῖς ἐν πυρὶ καὶ τοὺς ἐκλεκτοὺς αὐτῶν ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ ἀποκτενεῖς καὶ τὰ νήπια αὐτῶν ἐνσείσεις καὶ τὰς ἐν γαστρὶ ἐχούσας αὐτῶν ἀναρρήξεις

And Hazael said, 'Why is my lord weeping?' And he said, 'Because I know the evils you will do to the sons of Israel: their strongholds you will set on fire, and their choice men you will kill with the sword, and their infants you will dash in pieces, and their pregnant women you will rip open.'

καὶ εἶπεν Αζαηλ τίς ἐστιν ὁ δοῦλός σου ὁ κύων ὁ τεθνηκώς ὅτι ποιήσει τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο καὶ εἶπεν Ελισαιε ἔδειξέν μοι κύριός σε βασιλεύοντα ἐπὶ Συρίαν

And Hazael said, 'Who is your servant, the dead dog, that he should do this great thing?' And Elisha said, 'The LORD has shown me you reigning over Syria.'

καὶ ἀπῆλθεν ἀπὸ Ελισαιε καὶ εἰσῆλθεν πρὸς τὸν κύριον αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ τί εἶπέν σοι Ελισαιε καὶ εἶπεν εἶπέν μοι ζωῇ ζήσῃ

And he departed from Elisha and came in to his lord, who said to him, 'What did Elisha say to you?' And he said, 'He said to me, "You shall surely live."'

καὶ ἐγένετο τῇ ἐπαύριον καὶ ἔλαβεν τὸ μαχμα καὶ ἔβαψεν ἐν τῷ ὕδατι καὶ περιέβαλεν ἐπὶ τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπέθανεν καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Αζαηλ ἀντ᾿ αὐτοῦ

And it came to pass on the next day that he took the coverlet and dipped it in water and spread it over his face, and he died; and Hazael reigned in his place.

ἐν ἔτει πέμπτῳ τῷ Ιωραμ υἱῷ Αχααβ βασιλεῖ Ισραηλ ἐβασίλευσεν Ιωραμ υἱὸς Ιωσαφατ βασιλεὺς Ιουδα

In the fifth year of Joram son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign.

υἱὸς τριάκοντα καὶ δύο ἐτῶν ἦν ἐν τῷ βασιλεύειν αὐτὸν καὶ ὀκτὼ ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ιερουσαλημ

He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.

καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐν ὁδῷ βασιλέων Ισραηλ καθὼς ἐποίησεν οἶκος Αχααβ ὅτι θυγάτηρ Αχααβ ἦν αὐτῷ εἰς γυναῖκα καὶ ἐποίησεν τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον κυρίου

And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as the house of Ahab did, for a daughter of Ahab was his wife; and he did what was evil in the sight of the LORD.

καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησεν κύριος διαφθεῖραι τὸν Ιουδαν διὰ Δαυιδ τὸν δοῦλον αὐτοῦ καθὼς εἶπεν δοῦναι αὐτῷ λύχνον καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας

Yet the LORD would not destroy Judah, for the sake of David his servant, as he had said he would give him a lamp, and to his sons, all the days.

ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις αὐτοῦ ἠθέτησεν Εδωμ ὑποκάτωθεν χειρὸς Ιουδα καὶ ἐβασίλευσαν ἐφ᾿ ἑαυτοὺς βασιλέα

In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and they made a king over themselves.

καὶ ἀνέβη Ιωραμ εἰς Σιωρ καὶ πάντα τὰ ἅρματα μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτοῦ ἀναστάντος καὶ ἐπάταξεν τὸν Εδωμ τὸν κυκλώσαντα ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν καὶ τοὺς ἄρχοντας τῶν ἁρμάτων καὶ ἔφυγεν ὁ λαὸς εἰς τὰ σκηνώματα αὐτῶν

And Jehoram went up to Zior, and all the chariots with him; and it came to pass, when he had risen up, that he struck Edom, who had surrounded him, and the commanders of the chariots; and the people fled to their tents.

καὶ ἠθέτησεν Εδωμ ὑποκάτωθεν χειρὸς Ιουδα ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης τότε ἠθέτησεν Λοβενα ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ

So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day. Then Libnah also revolted at that time.

καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ιωραμ καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησεν οὐκ ἰδοὺ ταῦτα γέγραπται ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν Ιουδα

Now the rest of the acts of Jehoram, and all that he did — behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Ιωραμ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐτάφη μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ ἐν πόλει Δαυιδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Οχοζιας υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ᾿ αὐτοῦ

And Jehoram slept with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his place.

ἐν ἔτει δωδεκάτῳ τῷ Ιωραμ υἱῷ Αχααβ βασιλεῖ Ισραηλ ἐβασίλευσεν Οχοζιας υἱὸς Ιωραμ

In the twelfth year of Joram son of Ahab king of Israel, Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah began to reign.

υἱὸς εἴκοσι καὶ δύο ἐτῶν Οχοζιας ἐν τῷ βασιλεύειν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐνιαυτὸν ἕνα ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ιερουσαλημ καὶ ὄνομα τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ Γοθολια θυγάτηρ Αμβρι βασιλέως Ισραηλ

Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Athaliah, daughter of Omri king of Israel.

καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐν ὁδῷ οἴκου Αχααβ καὶ ἐποίησεν τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον κυρίου καθὼς ὁ οἶκος Αχααβ

And he walked in the way of the house of Ahab and did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, like the house of Ahab.

καὶ ἐπορεύθη μετὰ Ιωραμ υἱοῦ Αχααβ εἰς πόλεμον μετὰ Αζαηλ βασιλέως ἀλλοφύλων ἐν Ρεμμωθ Γαλααδ καὶ ἐπάταξαν οἱ Σύροι τὸν Ιωραμ

And he went with Joram son of Ahab to war against Hazael king of the Syrians at Ramoth-gilead, and the Syrians struck Joram.

καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ιωραμ τοῦ ἰατρευθῆναι ἐν Ιεζραελ ἀπὸ τῶν πληγῶν ὧν ἐπάταξαν αὐτὸν ἐν Ρεμμωθ ἐν τῷ πολεμεῖν αὐτὸν μετὰ Αζαηλ βασιλέως Συρίας καὶ Οχοζιας υἱὸς Ιωραμ κατέβη τοῦ ἰδεῖν τὸν Ιωραμ υἱὸν Αχααβ ἐν Ιεζραελ ὅτι ἠρρώστει αὐτός

And King Joram returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds with which the Syrians had struck him at Ramoth, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. And Ahaziah son of Jehoram went down to see Joram son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
