[14] καὶ ἀπέστειλαν πρὸς Ιεζαβελ λέγοντες Λελιθοβόληται Ναβουθαι καὶ τέθνηκεν.
[14] And they sent to Jezabel, saying, Nabuthai is stoned, and is dead.
[15] καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἤκουσεν Ιεζαβελ, καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς Αχααβ Ἀνάστα κληρονόμει τὸν ἀμπελῶνα Ναβουθαι τοῦ Ιεζραηλίτου, ὃς οὐκ ἔδωκέν σοι ἀργυρίου, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν Ναβουθαι ζῶν, ὅτι τέθνηκεν.
[15] And it came to pass, when Jezabel heard it, that she said to Achaab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Nabuthai the Jezraelite, who would not sell it to thee: for Nebuthai is not alive, for he is dead.
[16] καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἤκουσεν Αχααβ ὅτι τέθνηκεν Ναβουθαι ὁ Ιεζραηλίτης, καὶ διέρρηξεν τὰ ἱμάτια ἑαυτοῦ καὶ περιεβάλετο σάκκον· καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ ταῦτα καὶ ἀνέστη καὶ κατέβη Αχααβ εἰς τὸν ἀμπελῶνα Ναβουθαι τοῦ Ιεζραηλίτου κληρονομῆσαι αὐτόν.
[16] And it came to pass, when Achaab heard that Nabuthai the Jezraelite was dead, that he rent his garments, and put on sackcloth. And it came to pass afterward, that Achaab arose and went down to the vineyard of Nabuthai the Jezraelite, to take possession of it.
[17] Καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρὸς Ηλιου τὸν Θεσβίτην λέγων
[17] And the Lord spoke to Eliu the Thesbite, saying,
[18] Ἀνάστηθι καὶ κατάβηθι εἰς ἀπαντὴν Αχααβ βασιλέως Ισραηλ τοῦ ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ· ἰδοὺ οὗτος ἐν ἀμπελῶνι Ναβουθαι, ὅτι καταβέβηκεν ἐκεῖ κληρονομῆσαι αὐτόν.
[18] Arise, and go down to meet Achaab king of Israel, who is in Samaria, for he is in the vineyard of Nabuthai, for he has gone down thither to take possession of it.
[19] καὶ λαλήσεις πρὸς αὐτὸν λέγων Τάδε λέγει κύριος Ὡς σὺ ἐφόνευσας καὶ ἐκληρονόμησας, διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει κύριος Ἐν παντὶ τόπῳ, ᾧ ἔλειξαν αἱ ὕες καὶ οἱ κύνες τὸ αἷμα Ναβουθαι, ἐκεῖ λείξουσιν οἱ κύνες τὸ αἷμά σου, καὶ αἱ πόρναι λούσονται ἐν τῷ αἵματί σου.
[19] And thou shalt speak to him, saying, Thus saith the Lord, Forasmuch as thou hast slain and taken possession, therefore thus saith the Lord, In every place where the swine and the dogs have licked the blood of Nabuthai, there shall the dogs lick thy blood; and the harlots shall wash themselves in thy blood.
[20] καὶ εἶπεν Αχααβ πρὸς Ηλιου Εἰ εὕρηκάς με, ὁ ἐχθρός μου; καὶ εἶπεν Εὕρηκα, διότι μάτην πέπρασαι ποιῆσαι τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον κυρίου παροργίσαι αὐτόν.
[20] And Achaab said to Eliu, Hast thou found me, mine enemy? and he said, I have found thee: because thou hast wickedly sold thyself to work evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger;
[21] τάδε λέγει κύριος Ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπάγω ἐπὶ σὲ κακὰ καὶ ἐκκαύσω ὀπίσω σου καὶ ἐξολεθρεύσω τοῦ Αχααβ οὐροῦντα πρὸς τοῖχον καὶ συνεχόμενον καὶ ἐγκαταλελειμμένον ἐν Ισραηλ·
[21] behold, I bring evil upon thee: and I will kindle a fire after thee, and I will utterly destroy every male of Achaab, and him that is shut up and him that is left in Israel.
[22] καὶ δώσω τὸν οἶκόν σου ὡς τὸν οἶκον Ιεροβοαμ υἱοῦ Ναβατ καὶ ὡς τὸν οἶκον Βαασα υἱοῦ Αχια περὶ τῶν παροργισμάτων, ὧν παρώργισας καὶ ἐξήμαρτες τὸν Ισραηλ.
[22] And I will make thy house as the house of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and as the house of Baasa son of Achia, because of the provocations wherewith thou hast provoked me, and caused Israel to sin.
[23] καὶ τῇ Ιεζαβελ ἐλάλησεν κύριος λέγων Οἱ κύνες καταφάγονται αὐτὴν ἐν τῷ προτειχίσματι Ιεζραελ.
[23] And the Lord spoke of Jezabel, saying, The dogs shall devour her within the fortification of Jezrael.
[24] τὸν τεθνηκότα τοῦ Αχααβ ἐν τῇ πόλει φάγονται οἱ κύνες, καὶ τὸν τεθνηκότα αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ φάγονται τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ.
[24] Him that is dead of Achaab in the city shall the dogs eat, and him that is dead of him in the field shall the birds of the sky eat.
[25] πλὴν ματαίως Αχααβ ὡς ἐπράθη ποιῆσαι τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον κυρίου, ὡς μετέθηκεν αὐτὸν Ιεζαβελ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ·
[25] But Achaab did wickedly, in that he sold himself to do that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as his wife Jezabel led him astray.
[26] καὶ ἐβδελύχθη σφόδρα πορεύεσθαι ὀπίσω τῶν βδελυγμάτων κατὰ πάντα, ἃ ἐποίησεν ὁ Αμορραῖος, ὃν ἐξωλέθρευσεν κύριος ἀπὸ προσώπου υἱῶν Ισραηλ.
[26] And he did very abominably in following after the abominations, according to all that the Amorite did, whom the Lord utterly destroyed from before the children of Israel.
[27] καὶ ὑπὲρ τοῦ λόγου, ὡς κατενύγη Αχααβ ἀπὸ προσώπου τοῦ κυρίου καὶ ἐπορεύετο κλαίων καὶ διέρρηξεν τὸν χιτῶνα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐζώσατο σάκκον ἐπὶ τὸ σῶμα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐνήστευσεν καὶ περιεβάλετο σάκκον ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ, ᾗ ἐπάταξεν Ναβουθαι τὸν Ιεζραηλίτην,
[27] And because of the word, Achaab was pierced with sorrow before the Lord, and he both went weeping, and rent his garment, and girt sackcloth upon his body, and fasted; he put on sackcloth also in the day that he smote Nabuthai the Jezraelite, and went his way.
[28] καὶ ἐγένετο ῥῆμα κυρίου ἐν χειρὶ δούλου αὐτοῦ Ηλιου περὶ Αχααβ, καὶ εἶπεν κύριος
[28] And the word of the Lord came by the hand of his servant Eliu concerning Achaab, and the Lord said,
[29] Ἑώρακας ὡς κατενύγη Αχααβ ἀπὸ προσώπου μου; οὐκ ἐπάξω τὴν κακίαν ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις αὐτοῦ, ἀλλ’ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ ἐπάξω τὴν κακίαν.
[29] Hast thou seen how Achaab has been pricked to the heart before me? I will not bring on the evil in his days, but in his son’s days will I bring on the evil.
CHAPTER 21
[1] Καὶ συνήθροισεν υἱὸς Αδερ πᾶσαν τὴν δύναμιν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀνέβη καὶ περιεκάθισεν ἐπὶ Σαμάρειαν καὶ τριάκοντα καὶ δύο βασιλεῖς μετ’ αὐτοῦ καὶ πᾶς ἵππος καὶ ἅρμα· καὶ ἀνέβησαν καὶ περιεκάθισαν ἐπὶ Σαμάρειαν καὶ ἐπολέμησαν ἐπ’ αὐτήν.
[1] And the son of Ader gathered all his forces, and went up and besieged Samaria, he and thirty-two kings with him, and all his horse and chariots: and they went up and besieged Samaria, and fought against it.
[2] καὶ ἀπέστειλεν πρὸς Αχααβ βασιλέα Ισραηλ εἰς τὴν πόλιν
[2] And he sent into the city to Achaab king of Israel, and said to him, Thus says the son of Ader,
[3] καὶ εἶπεν πρ�
�ς αὐτόν Τάδε λέγει υἱὸς Αδερ Τὸ ἀργύριόν σου καὶ τὸ χρυσίον σου ἐμόν ἐστιν, καὶ αἱ γυναῖκές σου καὶ τὰ τέκνα σου ἐμά ἐστιν.
[3] Thy silver and thy gold are mine, and thy wives and thy children are mine.
[4] καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ὁ βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ καὶ εἶπεν Καθὼς ἐλάλησας, κύριε βασιλεῦ, σὸς ἐγώ εἰμι καὶ πάντα τὰ ἐμά.
[4] And the king of Israel answered and said, As thou hast said, my lord, O king, I am thine, and all mine also.
[5] καὶ ἀνέστρεψαν οἱ ἄγγελοι καὶ εἶπον Τάδε λέγει υἱὸς Αδερ Ἐγὼ ἀπέσταλκα πρὸς σὲ λέγων Τὸ ἀργύριόν σου καὶ τὸ χρυσίον σου καὶ τὰς γυναῖκάς σου καὶ τὰ τέκνα σου δώσεις ἐμοί·
[5] And the messengers came again, and said, Thus says the son of Ader, I sent to thee, saying, Thou shalt give me thy silver and thy gold, and thy wives and thy children.
[6] ὅτι ταύτην τὴν ὥραν αὔριον ἀποστελῶ τοὺς παῖδάς μου πρὸς σέ, καὶ ἐρευνήσουσιν τὸν οἶκόν σου καὶ τοὺς οἴκους τῶν παίδων σου καὶ ἔσται τὰ ἐπιθυμήματα ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτῶν, ἐφ’ ἃ ἂν ἐπιβάλωσι τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν, καὶ λήμψονται.
[6] For at this time to-morrow I will send my servants to thee, and they shall search thy house, and the houses of thy servants, and it shall be that all the desirable objects of their eyes on which they shall lay their hands, they shall even take them.
[7] καὶ ἐκάλεσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ πάντας τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους καὶ εἶπεν Γνῶτε δὴ καὶ ἴδετε ὅτι κακίαν οὗτος ζητεῖ, ὅτι ἀπέσταλκεν πρός με περὶ τῶν γυναικῶν μου καὶ περὶ τῶν υἱῶν μου καὶ περὶ τῶν θυγατέρων μου· τὸ ἀργύριόν μου καὶ τὸ χρυσίον μου οὐκ ἀπεκώλυσα ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ.
[7] And the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, Take notice now and consider, that this man seeks mischief: for he has sent to me concerning my wives, and concerning my sons, an concerning my daughters: I have not kept back from him my silver and my gold.
[8] καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαός Μὴ ἀκούσῃς καὶ μὴ θελήσῃς.
[8] And the elders and all the people said to him, Hearken not, and consent not.
[9] καὶ εἶπεν τοῖς ἀγγέλοις υἱοῦ Αδερ Λέγετε τῷ κυρίῳ ὑμῶν Πάντα, ὅσα ἀπέσταλκας πρὸς τὸν δοῦλόν σου ἐν πρώτοις, ποιήσω, τὸ δὲ ῥῆμα τοῦτο οὐ δυνήσομαι ποιῆσαι. καὶ ἀπῆραν οἱ ἄνδρες καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν αὐτῷ λόγον.
[9] And he said to the messengers of the son of Ader, Say to your master, All things that thou hast sent to thy servant about at first I will do; but this thing I shall not be able to do. And the men departed, and carried back the answer to him.
[10] καὶ ἀνταπέστειλεν πρὸς αὐτὸν υἱὸς Αδερ λέγων Τάδε ποιήσαι μοι ὁ θεὸς καὶ τάδε προσθείη, εἰ ἐκποιήσει ὁ χοῦς Σαμαρείας ταῖς ἀλώπεξιν παντὶ τῷ λαῷ τοῖς πεζοῖς μου.
[10] And the son of Ader sent to him, saying, So do God to me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for foxes to all the people, even my infantry.
[11] καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ὁ βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ καὶ εἶπεν Ἱκανούσθω· μὴ καυχάσθω ὁ κυρτὸς ὡς ὁ ὀρθός.
[11] And the king of Israel answered and said, Let it be sufficient; let not the humpbacked boast as he that is upright.
[12] καὶ ἐγένετο ὅτε ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῷ τὸν λόγον τοῦτον, πίνων ἦν αὐτὸς καὶ πάντες οἱ βασιλεῖς μετ’ αὐτοῦ ἐν σκηναῖς· καὶ εἶπεν τοῖς παισὶν αὐτοῦ Οἰκοδομήσατε χάρακα· καὶ ἔθεντο χάρακα ἐπὶ τὴν πόλιν.
[12] And it came to pass when he returned him this answer, he and all the kings with him were drinking in tents: and he said to his servants, Form a trench. And they made a trench against the city.
[13] Καὶ ἰδοὺ προφήτης εἷς προσῆλθεν τῷ βασιλεῖ Ισραηλ καὶ εἶπεν Τάδε λέγει κύριος Εἰ ἑόρακας πάντα τὸν ὄχλον τὸν μέγαν τοῦτον; ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ δίδωμι αὐτὸν σήμερον εἰς χεῖρας σάς, καὶ γνώσῃ ὅτι ἐγὼ κύριος.
[13] And, behold, a prophet came to Achaab king of Israel, and said, Thus saith the Lord, Hast thou seen this great multitude? behold, I give it this day into thine hands; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.
[14] καὶ εἶπεν Αχααβ Ἐν τίνι; καὶ εἶπεν Τάδε λέγει κύριος Ἐν τοῖς παιδαρίοις τῶν ἀρχόντων τῶν χωρῶν. καὶ εἶπεν Αχααβ Τίς συνάψει τὸν πόλεμον; καὶ εἶπεν Σύ.
[14] And Achaab said, Whereby? And he said, Thus saith the Lord, by the young men of the heads of the districts. And Achaab said, Who shall begin the battle? and he said, Thou.
[15] καὶ ἐπεσκέψατο Αχααβ τὰ παιδάρια τῶν ἀρχόντων τῶν χωρῶν, καὶ ἐγένοντο διακόσιοι καὶ τριάκοντα· καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα ἐπεσκέψατο τὸν λαόν, πᾶν υἱὸν δυνάμεως, ἑξήκοντα χιλιάδας.
[15] And Achaab numbered the young men the heads of the districts, and they were two hundred and thirty: and afterwards he numbered the people, even every man fit for war, seven thousand.
[16] καὶ ἐξῆλθεν μεσημβρίας· καὶ υἱὸς Αδερ πίνων μεθύων ἐν Σοκχωθ, αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ βασιλεῖς, τριάκοντα καὶ δύο βασιλεῖς συμβοηθοὶ μετ’ αὐτοῦ.
[16] And he went forth at noon, an the son of Ader was drinking and getting drunk in Socchoth, he and the kings, even thirty and two kings, his allies.
[17] καὶ ἐξῆλθον παιδάρια ἀρχόντων τῶν χωρῶν ἐν πρώτοις. καὶ ἀποστέλλουσιν καὶ ἀπαγγέλλουσιν τῷ βασιλεῖ Συρίας λέγοντες Ἄνδρες ἐξεληλύθασιν ἐκ Σαμαρείας.
[17] And the young men the heads of the districts went forth first; and they send and report to the king of Syria, saying, There are men come forth out of Samaria.
[18] καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Εἰ εἰς εἰρήνην οὗτοι ἐκπορεύονται, συλλάβετε αὐτοὺς ζῶντας, καὶ εἰ εἰς πόλεμον, ζῶντας συλλάβετε αὐτούς·
[18] And he said to them, If they come forth peaceably, take them alive; and if they come forth to war, take them alive:
[19] καὶ μὴ ἐξελθάτωσαν ἐκ τῆς πόλεως τὰ παιδάρια ἀρχόντων τῶν χωρῶν. καὶ ἡ δύναμις ὀπίσω αὐτῶν
[19] and let not the young men the heads of the districts go forth of the city. And the force that was behind them
[20] ἐπάταξεν ἕκαστος τὸν παρ’ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐδευτέρωσεν ἕκαστος τὸν παρ’ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔφυγεν Συρία, καὶ κατεδίωξεν αὐτοὺς Ισραηλ· καὶ σῴζεται υἱὸς Αδερ βασιλεὺς Συρίας ἐφ’ ἵππου ἱππέως.
[20] smote each one the man next to him; and each one a second time smote the man next to him: and Syria fled, and Israel pursued them; and the son of Ader, even the king of Syria, escapes on the horse of a horseman.
[21] καὶ ἐξῆλθεν βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ καὶ ἔλαβεν πάντας τοὺς ἵππους καὶ τὰ ἅρματα καὶ ἐπάταξεν πληγὴν μεγάλην ἐν Συρίᾳ.
[21] And the king of Israel went forth, and took all the horses and the chariots, and smote the enemy with a great slaughter in Syria.
[22] καὶ προσῆλθεν ὁ προφήτης πρὸς βασιλέα Ισραηλ καὶ εἶπεν Κραταιοῦ καὶ γνῶθι καὶ ἰδὲ τί ποιήσεις, ὅτι ἐπιστρέφοντος τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ υἱὸς Αδερ βασιλεὺς Συρίας ἀναβαίνει ἐπὶ σέ.
[22] And the prophet came to the king of Israel, and said, Strengthen thyself, and observe, and see what thou shalt do; for at the return of the year the son of Ader king of Syria comes up against thee.
[23] Καὶ οἱ παῖδες βασιλέως Συρίας εἶπον Θεὸς ὀρέων θεὸς Ισραηλ καὶ οὐ θεὸς κοιλάδων, διὰ τοῦτο ἐκραταίωσεν ὑπὲρ ἡμᾶς· ἐὰν δὲ πολεμήσωμεν αὐτοὺς κατ’ εὐθύ, εἰ μὴ κραταιώσομεν ὑπὲρ αὐτούς.
[23] And the servants of the king of Syria, even they said, The God of Israel is a God of mountains, and not a God of valleys; therefore has he prevailed against us: but if we should fight against them in the plain, verily we shall prevail against them.
[24] καὶ τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο ποίησον· ἀπόστησον τοὺς βασιλεῖς ἕκαστον εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτῶν καὶ θοῦ ἀντ αὐτῶν σατράπας,
