[32] And Jeroboam appointed a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, according to the feast in the land of Juda; and went up to the altar which he made in Baethel to sacrifice to the heifers which he made, and he placed in Baethel the priests of the high places which he had made.
[33] καὶ ἀνέβη ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον, ὃ ἐποίησε, τῇ πεντεκαιδεκάτῃ ἡμέρᾳ ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ ὀγδόῳ ἐν τῇ ἑορτῇ, ᾗ ἐπλάσατο ἀπὸ καρδίας αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐποίησεν ἑορτὴν τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ἀνέβη ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον τοῦ ἐπιθῦσαι
[33] And he went up to the altar which he had made, on the fifteenth day in the eighth month, at the feast which he devised out of his own heart; and he made a feast to the children of Israel, and went up to the altar to sacrifice.
CHAPTER 13
[1] Καὶ ἰδοὺ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ θεοῦ ἐξ Ιουδα παρεγένετο ἐν λόγῳ κυρίου εἰς Βαιθηλ, καὶ Ιεροβοαμ εἱστήκει ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον τοῦ ἐπιθῦσαι.
[1] And behold, there came a man of God out of Juda by the word of the Lord to Baethel, and Jeroboam stood at the altar to sacrifice.
[2] καὶ ἐπεκάλεσεν πρὸς τὸ θυσιαστήριον ἐν λόγῳ κυρίου καὶ εἶπεν Θυσιαστήριον θυσιαστήριον, τάδε λέγει κύριος Ἰδοὺ υἱὸς τίκτεται τῷ οἴκῳ Δαυιδ, Ιωσιας ὄνομα αὐτῷ, καὶ θύσει ἐπὶ σὲ τοὺς ἱερεῖς τῶν ὑψηλῶν τοὺς ἐπιθύοντας ἐπὶ σὲ καὶ ὀστᾶ ἀνθρώπων καύσει ἐπὶ σέ.
[2] And he cried against the altar by the word of the Lord, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the Lord, Behold, a son is to be born to the house of David, Josias by name; and he shall offer upon thee the priests of the high places, even of them that sacrifice upon thee, and he shall burn men’s bones upon thee.
[3] καὶ ἔδωκεν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ τέρας λέγων Τοῦτο τὸ ῥῆμα, ὃ ἐλάλησεν κύριος λέγων Ἰδοὺ τὸ θυσιαστήριον ῥήγνυται, καὶ ἐκχυθήσεται ἡ πιότης ἡ ἐπ’ αὐτῷ.
[3] And in that day one shall give a sign, saying, This is the word which the Lord has spoken, saying, Behold, the altar is rent, and the fatness upon it shall be poured out.
[4] καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἤκουσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ιεροβοαμ τῶν λόγων τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ ἐπικαλεσαμένου ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον τὸ ἐν Βαιθηλ, καὶ ἐξέτεινεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου λέγων Συλλάβετε αὐτόν· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐξηράνθη ἡ χεὶρ αὐτοῦ, ἣν ἐξέτεινεν ἐπ’ αὐτόν, καὶ οὐκ ἠδυνήθη ἐπιστρέψαι αὐτὴν πρὸς ἑαυτόν,
[4] And it came to pass when king Jeroboam heard the words of the man of God who called on the altar that was in Baethel, that the king stretched forth his hand from the altar, saying, Take hold of him. And, behold, his hand, which he stretched forth against him, withered, and he could not draw it back to himself.
[5] καὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον ἐρράγη, καὶ ἐξεχύθη ἡ πιότης ἀπὸ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου κατὰ τὸ τέρας, ὃ ἔδωκεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν λόγῳ κυρίου.
[5] And the altar was rent, and the fatness was poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God gave by the word of the Lord.
[6] καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ιεροβοαμ τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τοῦ θεοῦ Δεήθητι τοῦ προσώπου κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ σου, καὶ ἐπιστρεψάτω ἡ χείρ μου πρός με. καὶ ἐδεήθη ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ προσώπου κυρίου, καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν τὴν χεῖρα τοῦ βασιλέως πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ ἐγένετο καθὼς τὸ πρότερον.
[6] And king Jeroboam said to the man of God, Intreat the Lord thy God, and let my hand be restored to me. And the man of God intreated the Lord, and he restored the king’s hand to him, and it became as before.
[7] καὶ ἐλάλησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς τὸν ἄνθρωπον τοῦ θεοῦ Εἴσελθε μετ’ ἐμοῦ εἰς οἶκον καὶ ἀρίστησον, καὶ δώσω σοι δόμα.
[7] And the king said to the man of God, Enter with me into the house, and dine, and I will give thee a gift.
[8] καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ θεοῦ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Ἐάν μοι δῷς τὸ ἥμισυ τοῦ οἴκου σου, οὐκ εἰσελεύσομαι μετὰ σοῦ οὐδὲ μὴ φάγω ἄρτον οὐδὲ μὴ πίω ὕδωρ ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ.
[8] And the man of God said to the king, If thou shouldest give me the half of thine house, I would not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread, neither will I drink water in this place; for thus the Lord charged me by his word, saying,
[9] ὅτι οὕτως ἐνετείλατό μοι ἐν λόγῳ κύριος λέγων Μὴ φάγῃς ἄρτον καὶ μὴ πίῃς ὕδωρ καὶ μὴ ἐπιστρέψῃς ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ, ᾗ ἐπορεύθης ἐν αὐτῇ.
[9] Eat no bread, and drink no water, and return not by the way by which thou camest.
[10] καὶ ἀπῆλθεν ἐν ὁδῷ ἄλλῃ καὶ οὐκ ἀνέστρεψεν ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ, ᾗ ἦλθεν ἐν αὐτῇ εἰς Βαιθηλ.
[10] So he departed by another way, and returned not by the way by which he came to Baethel.
[11] Καὶ προφήτης εἷς πρεσβύτης κατῴκει ἐν Βαιθηλ, καὶ ἔρχονται οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ διηγήσαντο αὐτῷ ἅπαντα τὰ ἔργα, ἃ ἐποίησεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἐν Βαιθηλ, καὶ τοὺς λόγους, οὓς ἐλάλησεν τῷ βασιλεῖ· καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν τὸ πρόσωπον τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῶν.
[11] And there dwelt an old prophet in Baethel; and his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God did on that day in Baethel, and the words which he spoke to the king: and they turned the face of their father.
[12] καὶ ἐλάλησεν πρὸς αὐτοὺς ὁ πατὴρ αὐτῶν λέγων Ποίᾳ ὁδῷ πεπόρευται; καὶ δεικνύουσιν αὐτῷ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ τὴν ὁδὸν, ἐν ᾗ ἀνῆλθεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ θεοῦ ὁ ἐλθὼν ἐξ Ιουδα.
[12] And their father spoke to them, saying, Which way went he? and his sons shew him the way by which the man of God who came out of Juda went up.
[13] καὶ εἶπεν τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ Ἐπισάξατέ μοι τὸν ὄνον· καὶ ἐπέσαξαν αὐτῷ τὸν ὄνον, καὶ ἐπέβη ἐπ’ αὐτόν.
[13] And he said to his sons, Saddle me the ass: and they saddled him the ass, and he mounted it,
[14] καὶ ἐπορεύθη κατόπισθεν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ εὗρεν αὐτὸν καθήμενον ὑπὸ δρῦν καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Εἰ σὺ εἶ ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ θεοῦ ὁ ἐληλυθὼς ἐξ Ιουδα; καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ἐγώ.
[14] and went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak: and he said to him, Art thou the man of God that came out of Juda? And he said to him, I am.
[15] καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Δεῦρο μετ’ ἐμοῦ καὶ φάγε ἄρτον.
[15] And he said to him, Come with me, and eat bread.
[16] καὶ εἶπεν Οὐ μὴ δύνωμαι τοῦ ἐπιστρέψαι μετὰ σοῦ οὐδὲ μὴ φάγομαι ἄρτον οὐδὲ πίομαι ὕδωρ ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ·
[16] And he said, I shall not by any means be able to return with thee, neither will I eat bread, neither will I drink water in this place.
[17] ὅτι οὕτως ἐντέταλταί μοι ἐν λόγῳ κύριος λέγων Μὴ φάγῃς ἄρτον ἐκεῖ καὶ μὴ πίῃς ὕδωρ ἐκεῖ καὶ μὴ ἐπιστρέψῃς ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ, ᾗ ἐπορεύθης ἐν αὐτῇ.
[17] For thus the Lord commanded me by word, saying, Eat not bread there, and drink not water, and return not thither by the way by which thou camest.
[18] καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτόν Κἀγὼ προφήτης εἰμὶ καθὼς σύ, καὶ ἄγγελος λελάληκεν πρός με ἐν ῥήματι κυρίου λέγων Ἐπίστρεψον αὐτὸν πρὸς σεαυτὸν εἰς τὸν οἶκόν σου, καὶ φαγέτω ἄρτον καὶ πιέτω ὕδωρ· καὶ ἐψεύσατο αὐτῷ.
[18] And he said to him, I also am a prophet as thou art; and an angel spoke to me by the word of the Lord, saying, Bring him back to thee into thy house, and let him eat bread and drink water: but he lied to him.
[19] καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν αὐτόν, καὶ ἔφαγεν ἄρτον καὶ ἔπιεν ὕδωρ ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ.
[19] And he brought him back, and he ate bread and drank water in his house.
[20] καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτῶν καθημένων ἐπὶ τῆς τραπέζης καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου πρὸς τὸν προφήτην τὸν ἐπιστρέψαντα αὐτὸν
[20] And it came to pass while they were sitting at the table, that the word of the Lord came to the prophet that brought him back;
[21] καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς τὸν ἄνθρωπον τοῦ θεοῦ τὸν ἥκοντα ἐξ Ιουδα λέγων Τάδε λέγει κύριος Ἀνθ ὧν παρεπίκρανας τὸ ῥῆμα κυρίου καὶ οὐκ ἐφύλαξας τὴν ἐντολήν, ἣν ἐνετείλατό σοι κύριος ὁ θεός σου,
[21] and he spoke to the man of God that came out of Juda, saying, Thus saith the Lord, Because thou hast resisted the word of the Lord, and hast not kept the commandment which the Lord thy God commanded thee,
[22] καὶ ἐπέστρεψας καὶ ἔφαγες ἄρτον καὶ ἔπιες ὕδωρ ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ, ᾧ ἐλάλησεν πρὸς σὲ λέγων Μὴ φάγῃς ἄρτον καὶ μὴ πίῃς ὕδωρ, οὐ μὴ εἰσέλθῃ τὸ σῶμά σου εἰς τὸν τάφον τῶν πατέρων σου.
[22] but hast returned, and eaten bread and drunk water in the place of which he spoke to thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat bread, and shalt not drink water; therefore thy body shall in nowise enter into the sepulchre of thy fathers.
[23] καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ τὸ φαγεῖν ἄρτον καὶ πιεῖν ὕδωρ καὶ ἐπέσαξεν αὐτῷ τὸν ὄνον, καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν.
[23] And it came to pass after he had eaten bread and drunk water, that he saddled the ass for him, and he turned and departed.
[24] καὶ ἀπῆλθεν, καὶ εὗρεν αὐτὸν λέων ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ καὶ ἐθανάτωσεν αὐτόν, καὶ ἦν τὸ σῶμα αὐτοῦ ἐρριμμένον ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ, καὶ ὁ ὄνος εἱστήκει παρ’ αὐτό, καὶ ὁ λέων εἱστήκει παρὰ τὸ σῶμα.
[24] And a lion found him in the way, and slew him; and his body was cast out in the way, and the ass was standing by it, and the lion also was standing by the body.
[25] καὶ ἰδοὺ ἄνδρες παραπορευόμενοι καὶ εἶδον τὸ θνησιμαῖον ἐρριμμένον ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ, καὶ ὁ λέων εἱστήκει ἐχόμενα τοῦ θνησιμαίου· καὶ εἰσῆλθον καὶ ἐλάλησαν ἐν τῇ πόλει, οὗ ὁ προφήτης ὁ πρεσβύτης κατῴκει ἐν αὐτῇ.
[25] And, behold, men were passing by, and saw the carcase cast in the way, and the lion was standing near the carcase: and they went in and spoke of it in the city where the old prophet dwelt.
[26] καὶ ἤκουσεν ὁ ἐπιστρέψας αὐτὸν ἐκ τῆς ὁδοῦ καὶ εἶπεν Ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ θεοῦ οὗτός ἐστιν, ὃς παρεπίκρανε τὸ ῥῆμα κυρίου.
[26] And the prophet that turned him back out of the way heard, and said, This is the man of God who rebelled against the word of the Lord.
[28] καὶ ἐπορεύθη καὶ εὗρεν τὸ σῶμα αὐτοῦ ἐρριμμένον ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ, καὶ ὁ ὄνος καὶ ὁ λέων εἱστήκεισαν παρὰ τὸ σῶμα, καὶ οὐκ ἔφαγεν ὁ λέων τὸ σῶμα τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ οὐ συνέτριψεν τὸν ὄνον.
[27] 28 And he went and found the body cast in the way, and the ass and the lion were standing by the body: and the lion had not devoured the body of the man of God, and had not torn the ass.
[29] καὶ ἦρεν ὁ προφήτης τὸ σῶμα τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ἐπέθηκεν αὐτὸ ἐπὶ τὸν ὄνον, καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν αὐτὸν εἰς τὴν πόλιν ὁ προφήτης τοῦ θάψαι αὐτὸν
[29] And the prophet took up the body of the man of God, and laid it on his ass; and the prophet brought him back to his city, to bury him in his own tomb,
[30] ἐν τῷ τάφῳ ἑαυτοῦ· καὶ ἐκόψαντο αὐτόν Οὐαὶ ἀδελφέ.
[30] and they bewailed him, saying, Alas, brother.
[31] καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ τὸ κόψασθαι αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπεν τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ λέγων Ἐὰν ἀποθάνω, θάψατέ με ἐν τῷ τάφῳ τούτῳ, οὗ ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ θεοῦ τέθαπται ἐν αὐτῷ· παρὰ τὰ ὀστᾶ αὐτοῦ θέτε με, ἵνα σωθῶσι τὰ ὀστᾶ μου μετὰ τῶν ὀστῶν αὐτοῦ·
[31] And it came to pass after he had lamented him, that he spoke to his sons, saying, Whenever I die, bury me in this tomb wherein the man of God is buried; lay me by his bones, that my bones may be preserved with his bones.
[32] ὅτι γινόμενον ἔσται τὸ ῥῆμα, ὃ ἐλάλησεν ἐν λόγῳ κυρίου ἐπὶ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου τοῦ ἐν Βαιθηλ καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς οἴκους τοὺς ὑψηλοὺς τοὺς ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ.
[32] For the word will surely come to pass which he spoke by the word of the Lord against the altar in Baethel, and against the high houses in Samaria.
[33] Καὶ μετὰ τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο οὐκ ἐπέστρεψεν Ιεροβοαμ ἀπὸ τῆς κακίας αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν καὶ ἐποίησεν ἐκ μέρους τοῦ λαοῦ ἱερεῖς ὑψηλῶν· ὁ βουλόμενος, ἐπλήρου τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐγίνετο ἱερεὺς εἰς τὰ ὑψηλά.
[33] And after this Jeroboam turned not from his sin, but he turned and made of part of the people priests of the high places: whoever would, he consecrated him, and he became a priest for the high places.
[34] καὶ ἐγένετο τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο εἰς ἁμαρτίαν τῷ οἴκῳ Ιεροβοαμ καὶ εἰς ὄλεθρον καὶ εἰς ἀφανισμὸν ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς γῆς.
[34] And this thing became sin to the house of Jeroboam, even to its destruction and its removal from the face of the earth.
CHAPTER 1
4
᾿Εν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ ἠρρώστησεν ᾿Αβιὰ υἱὸς ῾Ιεροβοὰμ
At that time Abia the son of Jeroboam fell sick.
[2] καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ῾Ιεροβοὰμ πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ· ἀνάστηθι καὶ ἀλλοιωθήσῃ, καὶ οὐ γνώσονται ὅτι σὺ γυνὴ ῾Ιεροβοάμ, καὶ πορευθήσῃ εἰς Σηλώ· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐκεῖ ᾿Αχιὰ ὁ προφήτης, αὐτὸς ἐλάλησεν ἐμὲ τοῦ βασιλεῦσαι ἐπὶ τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον.
[2] And Jeroboam said to his wife, Arise, I pray thee, and disguise thyself, and thou shalt not be known to be the wife of Jeroboam; and get thee to Shiloh: and, behold, there is Ahia the prophet, which told me that I should be king over this people.
[3] καὶ λαβὲ εἰς τὴν χεῖρά σου τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἄρτους καὶ κολλυρίδα τοῖς τέκνοις αὐτοῦ καὶ σταφίδας καὶ στάμνον μέλιτος, καὶ ἐλεύσῃ πρὸς αὐτόν. αὐτὸς ἀναγγείλῃ σοι τί ἔσται τῷ παιδί.
[3] And take in thy hands loaves for the man of God, and cakes for his children, and grapes, and a pot of honey, and go to him: he shall tell thee what shall become of the child.
[4] καὶ ἐποίησεν οὕτως γυνὴ ῾Ιεροβοάμ· καὶ ἀνέστη καὶ ἐπορεύθη εἰς Σηλώ, καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ἐν οἴκῳ ᾿Αχιά· καὶ ὁ ἄνθρωπος πρεσβύτερος τοῦ ἰδεῖν, καὶ ἠμβλυώπουν οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ γήρους αὐτοῦ.
[4] And Jeroboam’s wife did so, and arose, and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahia: and the man was old, and his eyes were dim by reason of his age.
