  [9] But they hearkened not; and Manasses led them astray to do evil in the sight of the Lord, beyond the nations whom the Lord utterly destroyed from before the children of Israel.

  [10] καὶ ἐλάλησεν κύριος ἐν χειρὶ δούλων αὐτοῦ τῶν προφητῶν λέγων

  [10] And the Lord spoke by his servants the prophets, saying,

  [11] Ἀνθ ὧν ὅσα ἐποίησεν Μανασσης ὁ βασιλεὺς Ιουδα τὰ βδελύγματα ταῦτα τὰ πονηρὰ ἀπὸ πάντων, ὧν ἐποίησεν ὁ Αμορραῖος ὁ ἔμπροσθεν, καὶ ἐξήμαρτεν καί γε Ιουδα ἐν τοῖς εἰδώλοις αὐτῶν,

  [11] Forasmuch as Manasses the king of Juda has wrought all these evil abominations, beyond all that the Amorite did, who lived before him, and has led Juda also into sin by their idols,

  [12] οὐχ οὕτως, τάδε λέγει κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ Ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ φέρω κακὰ ἐπὶ Ιερουσαλημ καὶ ἐπὶ Ιουδα, ὥστε παντὸς ἀκούοντος ἠχήσει ἀμφότερα τὰ ὦτα αὐτοῦ,

  [12] it shall not be so. Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Behold, I bring calamities upon Jerusalem and Juda, so that both the ears of every one that hears shall tingle.

  [13] καὶ ἐκτενῶ ἐπὶ Ιερουσαλημ τὸ μέτρον Σαμαρείας καὶ τὸ στάθμιον οἴκου Αχααβ καὶ ἀπαλείψω τὴν Ιερουσαλημ, καθὼς ἀπαλείφεται ὁ ἀλάβαστρος ἀπαλειφόμενος καὶ καταστρέφεται ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ,

  [13] And I will stretch out over Jerusalem the measure of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Achaab: and I will wipe Jerusalem as a jar is wiped, and turned upside down in the wiping.

  [14] καὶ ἀπώσομαι τὸ ὑπόλειμμα τῆς κληρονομίας μου καὶ παραδώσω αὐτοὺς εἰς χεῖρας ἐχθρῶν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἔσονται εἰς διαρπαγὴν καὶ εἰς προνομὴν πᾶσιν τοῖς ἐχθροῖς αὐτῶν,

  [14] And I will reject the remnant of my inheritance, and will deliver them into the hands of their enemies; and they shall be for a plunder and for a spoil to all their enemies:

  [15] ἀνθ’ ὧν ὅσα ἐποίησαν τὸ πονηρὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς μου καὶ ἦσαν παροργίζοντές με ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας, ἧς ἐξήγαγον τοὺς πατέρας αὐτῶν ἐξ Αἰγύπτου, καὶ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης.

  [15] forasmuch as they have done wickedly in my sight, and have provoked me from the day that I brought out their fathers out of Egypt, even until this day.

  [16] καί γε αἷμα ἀθῷον ἐξέχεεν Μανασσης πολὺ σφόδρα, ἕως οὗ ἔπλησεν τὴν Ιερουσαλημ στόμα εἰς στόμα, πλὴν τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν αὐτοῦ, ὧν ἐξήμαρτεν τὸν Ιουδαν τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὸ πονηρὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς κυρίου.

  [16] Moreover Manasses shed very much innocent blood, until he filled Jerusalem with it from one end to the other, beside his sins with which he caused Juda to sin, in doing evil in the eyes of the Lord.

  [17] καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Μανασση καὶ πάντα, ὅσα ἐποίησεν, καὶ ἡ ἁμαρτία αὐτοῦ, ἣν ἥμαρτεν, οὐχὶ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν Ιουδα;

  [17] And the rest of the acts of Manasses, and all that he did, and his sin which he sinned, are not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?

  [18] καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Μανασσης μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν τῷ κήπῳ τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ, ἐν κήπῳ Οζα, καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Αμων υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ αὐτοῦ.

  [18] And Manasses slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his house, even in the garden of Oza: and Amos his son reigned in his stead.

  [19] Υἱὸς εἴκοσι καὶ δύο ἐτῶν Αμων ἐν τῷ βασιλεύειν αὐτὸν καὶ δύο ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ιερουσαλημ, καὶ ὄνομα τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ Μεσολλαμ θυγάτηρ Αρους ἐξ Ιετεβα.

  [19] Twenty and two years old was Amos when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Mesollam, daughter of Arus of Jeteba.

  [20] καὶ ἐποίησεν τὸ πονηρὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς κυρίου, καθὼς ἐποίησεν Μανασσης ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ,

  [20] And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as Manasses his father did.

  [21] καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐν πάσῃ ὁδῷ, ᾗ ἐπορεύθη ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐλάτρευσεν τοῖς εἰδώλοις, οἷς ἐλάτρευσεν ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ, καὶ προσεκύνησεν αὐτοῖς

  [21] And he walked in all the way in which his father walked, and served the idols which his father served, and worshipped them.

  [22] καὶ ἐγκατέλιπεν τὸν κύριον θεὸν τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἐπορεύθη ἐν ὁδῷ κυρίου.

  [22] And he forsook the Lord God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the Lord.

  [23] καὶ συνεστράφησαν οἱ παῖδες Αμων πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ ἐθανάτωσαν τὸν βασιλέα ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ.

  [23] And the servants of Amos conspired against him, and slew the king in his house.

  [24] καὶ ἐπάταξεν πᾶς ὁ λαὸς τῆς γῆς πάντας τοὺς συστραφέντας ἐπὶ τὸν βασιλέα Αμων, καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ὁ λαὸς τῆς γῆς τὸν Ιωσιαν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ ἀντ αὐτοῦ.

  [24] And the people of the land slew all that had conspired against king Amos; and the people of the land made Josias king in his room.

  [25] καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Αμων, ὅσα ἐποίησεν, οὐκ ἰδοὺ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν Ιουδα;

  [25] And the rest of the acts of Amos, even all that he did, behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?

  [26] καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ τάφῳ αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ κήπῳ Οζα, καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ιωσιας υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ αὐτοῦ.

  [26] And they buried him in his tomb in the garden of Oza: and Josias his son reigned in his stead.

  CHAPTER 22

  [1] Υἱὸς ὀκτὼ ἐτῶν Ιωσιας ἐν τῷ βασιλεύειν αὐτὸν καὶ τριάκοντα καὶ ἓν ἔτος ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ιερουσαλημ, καὶ ὄνομα τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ Ιεδιδα θυγάτηρ Εδεια ἐκ Βασουρωθ.

  [1] Josias was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty and one years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Jedia, daughter of Edeia of Basuroth.

  [2] καὶ ἐποίησεν τὸ εὐθὲς ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς κυρίου καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐν πάσῃ ὁδῷ Δαυιδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, οὐκ ἀπέστη δεξιὰ ἢ ἀριστερά.

  [2] And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, and walked in all the way of David his father; he turned not aside to the right hand or to the left.

  [3] Καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν τῷ ὀκτωκαιδεκάτῳ ἔτει τῷ βασιλεῖ Ιωσια ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ ὀ�
�δόῳ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὸν Σαφφαν υἱὸν Εσελιου υἱοῦ Μεσολλαμ τὸν γραμματέα οἴκου κυρίου λέγων

  [3] And it came to pass in the eighteenth year of king Josias, in the eighth month, the king sent Sapphan the son of Ezelias the son of Mesollam, the scribe of the house of the Lord, saying,

  [4] Ἀνάβηθι πρὸς Χελκιαν τὸν ἱερέα τὸν μέγαν καὶ σφράγισον τὸ ἀργύριον τὸ εἰσενεχθὲν ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου, ὃ συνήγαγον οἱ φυλάσσοντες τὸν σταθμὸν παρὰ τοῦ λαοῦ,

  [4] Go up to Chelcias the high priest, and take account of the money that is brought into the house of the Lord, which they that keep the door have collected of the people.

  [5] καὶ δότωσαν αὐτὸ ἐπὶ χεῖρα ποιούντων τὰ ἔργα τῶν καθεσταμένων ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου. καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὸ τοῖς ποιοῦσιν τὰ ἔργα τοῖς ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου τοῦ κατισχῦσαι τὸ βεδεκ τοῦ οἴκου,

  [5] And let them give it into the hand of the workmen that are appointed in the house of the Lord. And he gave it to the workmen in the house of the Lord, to repair the breaches of the house,

  [6] τοῖς τέκτοσιν καὶ τοῖς οἰκοδόμοις καὶ τοῖς τειχισταῖς, καὶ τοῦ κτήσασθαι ξύλα καὶ λίθους λατομητοὺς τοῦ κραταιῶσαι τὸ βεδεκ τοῦ οἴκου·

  [6] even to the carpenters, and builders, and masons, and also to purchase timber and hewn stones, to repair the breaches of the house.

  [7] πλὴν οὐκ ἐξελογίζοντο αὐτοὺς τὸ ἀργύριον τὸ διδόμενον αὐτοῖς, ὅτι ἐν πίστει αὐτοὶ ποιοῦσιν.

  [7] Only they did not call them to account for the money that was given to them, because they dealt faithfully.

  [8] καὶ εἶπεν Χελκιας ὁ ἱερεὺς ὁ μέγας πρὸς Σαφφαν τὸν γραμματέα Βιβλίον τοῦ νόμου εὗρον ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου· καὶ ἔδωκεν Χελκιας τὸ βιβλίον πρὸς Σαφφαν, καὶ ἀνέγνω αὐτό.

  [8] And Chelcias the high priest said to Saphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of the Lord. And Chelcias gave the book to Sapphan, and he read it.

  [9] καὶ εἰσήνεγκεν πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Ιωσιαν καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν τῷ βασιλεῖ ῥῆμα καὶ εἶπεν Ἐχώνευσαν οἱ δοῦλοί σου τὸ ἀργύριον τὸ εὑρεθὲν ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ κυρίου καὶ ἔδωκαν αὐτὸ ἐπὶ χεῖρα ποιούντων τὰ ἔργα τῶν καθεσταμένων ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου.

  [9] And he went into the house of the Lord to the king, and reported the matter to the king, and said, Thy servants have collected the money that was found in the house of the Lord, and have given it into the hand of the workmen that are appointed in the house of the Lord.

  [10] καὶ εἶπεν Σαφφαν ὁ γραμματεὺς πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα λέγων Βιβλίον ἔδωκέν μοι Χελκιας ὁ ἱερεύς· καὶ ἀνέγνω αὐτὸ Σαφφαν ἐνώπιον τοῦ βασιλέως.

  [10] And Sapphan the scribe spoke to the king, saying, Chelcias the priest has given me a book. And Sapphan read it before the king.

  [11] καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἤκουσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τοὺς λόγους τοῦ βιβλίου τοῦ νόμου, καὶ διέρρηξεν τὰ ἱμάτια ἑαυτοῦ.

  [11] And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the book of the law, that he rent his garments.

  [12] καὶ ἐνετείλατο ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ Χελκια τῷ ἱερεῖ καὶ τῷ Αχικαμ υἱῷ Σαφφαν καὶ τῷ Αχοβωρ υἱῷ Μιχαιου καὶ τῷ Σαφφαν τῷ γραμματεῖ καὶ τῷ Ασαια δούλῳ τοῦ βασιλέως λέγων

  [12] And the king commanded Chelcias the priest, and Achikam the son of Sapphan, and Achobor the son of Michaias, and Sapphan the scribe, and Asaias the king’s servant, saying,

  [13] Δεῦτε ἐκζητήσατε τὸν κύριον περὶ ἐμοῦ καὶ περὶ παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ περὶ παντὸς τοῦ Ιουδα περὶ τῶν λόγων τοῦ βιβλίου τοῦ εὑρεθέντος τούτου, ὅτι μεγάλη ἡ ὀργὴ κυρίου ἡ ἐκκεκαυμένη ἐν ἡμῖν ὑπὲρ οὗ οὐκ ἤκουσαν οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν τῶν λόγων τοῦ βιβλίου τούτου τοῦ ποιεῖν κατὰ πάντα τὰ γεγραμμένα καθ’ ἡμῶν.

  [13] Go, enquire of the Lord for me, and for all the people, and for all Juda, and concerning the words of this book that has been found: for the wrath of the Lord that has been kindled against us is great, because our fathers hearkened not to the words of this book, to do according to all the things written concerning us.

  [14] καὶ ἐπορεύθη Χελκιας ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ Αχικαμ καὶ Αχοβωρ καὶ Σαφφαν καὶ Ασαιας πρὸς Ολδαν τὴν προφῆτιν γυναῖκα Σελλημ υἱοῦ Θεκουε υἱοῦ Αραας τοῦ ἱματιοφύλακος, καὶ αὐτὴ κατῴκει ἐν Ιερουσαλημ ἐν τῇ μασενα, καὶ ἐλάλησαν πρὸς αὐτήν.

  [14] So Chelcias the priest went, and Achicam, and Achobor, and Sapphan, and Asaias, to Olda the prophetess, the mother of Sellem the son of Thecuan son of Aras, keeper of the robes; and she dwelt in Jerusalem in Masena; and they spoke to her.

  [15] καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Τάδε λέγει κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ Εἴπατε τῷ ἀνδρὶ τῷ ἀποστείλαντι ὑμᾶς πρός με

  [15] And she said to them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Say to the man that sent you to me,

  [16] Τάδε λέγει κύριος Ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπάγω κακὰ ἐπὶ τὸν τόπον τοῦτον καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς ἐνοικοῦντας αὐτόν, πάντας τοὺς λόγους τοῦ βιβλίου, οὓς ἀνέγνω βασιλεὺς Ιουδα,

  [16] Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I bring evil upon this place, and upon them that dwell in it, even all the words of the book which the king of Juda has read:

  [17] ἀνθ’ ὧν ἐγκατέλιπόν με καὶ ἐθυμίων θεοῖς ἑτέροις, ὅπως παροργίσωσίν με ἐν τοῖς ἔργοις τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐκκαυθήσεται ὁ θυμός μου ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ καὶ οὐ σβεσθήσεται.

  [17] because they have forsaken me, and burnt incense to other gods, that they might provoke me with the works of their hands: therefore my wrath shall burn forth against this place, and shall not be quenched.

  [18] καὶ πρὸς βασιλέα Ιουδα τὸν ἀποστείλαντα ὑμᾶς ἐπιζητῆσαι τὸν κύριον τάδε ἐρεῖτε πρὸς αὐτόν Τάδε λέγει κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ Οἱ λόγοι, οὓς ἤκουσας,

  [18] And to the king of Juda that sent you to enquire of the Lord, — thus shall ye say to him, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, As for the words which thou hast heard;

  [19] ἀνθ’ ὧν ὅτι ἡπαλύνθη ἡ καρδία σου καὶ ἐνετράπης ἀπὸ προσώπου κυρίου, ὡς ἤκουσας ὅσα ἐλάλησα ἐπὶ τὸν τόπον τοῦτον καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς ἐνοικοῦντας αὐτὸν τοῦ εἶναι εἰς ἀφανισμὸν καὶ εἰς κατάραν, καὶ διέρρηξας τὰ ἱμάτιά σου καὶ ἔκλαυσας ἐνώπιον ἐμοῦ, καί γε ἐγὼ ἤκουσα, λ
έγει κύριος.

  [19] because thy heart was softened, and thou was humbled before me, when thou heardest all that I spoke against this place, and against the inhabitants of it, that it should be utterly destroyed and accursed, and thou didst rend thy garments, and weep before me; I also have heard, saith the Lord.

  [20] οὐχ οὕτως· ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ προστίθημί σε πρὸς τοὺς πατέρας σου, καὶ συναχθήσῃ εἰς τὸν τάφον σου ἐν εἰρήνῃ, καὶ οὐκ ὀφθήσεται ἐν τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς σου ἐν πᾶσιν τοῖς κακοῖς, οἷς ἐγώ εἰμι ἐπάγω ἐπὶ τὸν τόπον τοῦτον. καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν τῷ βασιλεῖ τὸ ῥῆμα.

  [20] It shall not be so therefore: behold, I will add thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy tomb in peace, and thine eyes shall not see any among all the evils which I bring upon this place.

  CHAPTER 23

  [1] Καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ συνήγαγεν πρὸς ἑαυτὸν πάντας τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους Ιουδα καὶ Ιερουσαλημ.

  [1] So they reported the word to the king: and the king sent and gathered all the elders of Juda and Jerusalem to himself.

  [2] καὶ ἀνέβη ὁ βασιλεὺς εἰς οἶκον κυρίου καὶ πᾶς ἀνὴρ Ιουδα καὶ πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν Ιερουσαλημ μετ’ αὐτοῦ καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ προφῆται καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἀπὸ μικροῦ καὶ ἕως μεγάλου, καὶ ἀνέγνω ἐν ὠσὶν αὐτῶν πάντας τοὺς λόγους τοῦ βιβλίου τῆς διαθήκης τοῦ εὑρεθέντος ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου.
