2 Chronicles 21

Commentary from 1 father

1

And Josaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Joran his son reigned in his stead.

ΚΑΙ ἐκοιμήθη ᾿Ιωσαφὰτ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν πόλει Δαυίδ, καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ᾿Ιωρὰμ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ’ αὐτοῦ.

И҆ ᲂу҆́спе і҆ѡсафа́тъ со ѻ҆тцы̑ свои́ми, и҆ погребе́нъ бы́сть съ ни́ми во гра́дѣ даві́довѣ. И҆ воцари́сѧ і҆ѡра́мъ сы́нъ є҆гѡ̀ вмѣ́стѡ є҆гѡ̀.

2

And he had brothers, the six sons of Josaphat, Azarias, and Jeiel, and Zacharias, and Azarias, and Michael, and Zaphatias: all these [were] the sons of Josaphat king of Juda.

καὶ αὐτῷ ἀδελφοὶ υἱοὶ ᾿Ιωσαφὰτ ἕξ, ᾿Αζαρίας καὶ ᾿Ιεϊὴλ καὶ Ζαχαρίας καὶ ᾿Αζαρίας καὶ Μιχαὴλ καὶ Σαφατίας· πάντες οὗτοι υἱοὶ ᾿Ιωσαφὰτ βασιλέως ᾿Ιούδα.

И҆ бра́тїѧ є҆гѡ̀ сы́нове і҆ѡсафа́тѡвы ше́сть: а҆зарі́а и҆ і҆еи́лъ, и҆ заха́рїа и҆ а҆за́рїа, и҆ мїхаи́лъ и҆ сафаті́а: всѝ сі́и сы́нове і҆ѡсафа́та царѧ̀ і҆ꙋ́дина.

3

And their father gave them many gifts, silver, and gold, and arms, together with fortified cities in Juda: but he gave the kingdom to Joram, for he [was] the first-born.

καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς ὁ πατὴρ αὐτῶν δόματα πολλά, ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον καὶ ὅπλα μετὰ τῶν πόλεων τετειχισμένων ἐν ᾿Ιούδᾳ· καὶ τὴν βασιλείαν ἔδωκε τῷ ᾿Ιωράμ, ὅτι οὗτος ὁ πρωτότοκος.

И҆ дадѐ и҆̀мъ ѻ҆те́цъ и҆́хъ мнѡ́ги да́ры: сребро̀ и҆ зла́то, и҆ ѻ҆рꙋ́жїе со гра̑ды крѣ́пкими во і҆ꙋде́и, ца́рство же дадѐ і҆ѡра́мꙋ, поне́же се́й бѣ̀ пе́рвенецъ.

4

And Joram entered upon his kingdom, and strengthened himself, and slew all his brothers with the sword, and [some] of the princes of Israel.

καὶ ἀνέστη ᾿Ιωρὰμ ἐπὶ τὴν βασιλείαν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐκραταιώθη καὶ ἀπέκτεινε πάντας τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ἀρχόντων ᾿Ισραήλ.

И҆ воста̀ і҆ѡра́мъ на ца́рство своѐ, и҆ ᲂу҆крѣпи́сѧ, и҆ и҆збѝ всю̀ бра́тїю свою̀ мече́мъ и҆ нѣ́кїихъ ѿ нача̑льникъ і҆и҃левыхъ.

5

When he was thirty and two years old, Joram succeeded to his kingdom, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.

ὄντος αὐτοῦ τριάκοντα καὶ δύο ἐτῶν, κατέστη ᾿Ιωρὰμ ἐπὶ τὴν βασιλείαν αὐτοῦ καὶ ὀκτὼ ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ.

Три́десѧти и҆ двꙋ̀ лѣ́тъ бѣ̀ і҆ѡра́мъ, є҆гда̀ нача̀ ца́рствовати, и҆ ѻ҆́смь лѣ́тъ ца́рствова во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ,

6

And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Achaab; for a daughter of Achaab was his wife: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord:

καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐν ὁδῷ βασιλέων ᾿Ισραήλ, ὡς ἐποίησεν οἶκος ᾿Αχαάβ, ὅτι θυγάτηρ ᾿Αχαὰβ ἦν αὐτοῦ γυνή, καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν ἐναντίον Κυρίου.

и҆ хожда́ше по пꙋтє́мъ царе́й і҆и҃левыхъ, ꙗ҆́коже содѣ́ла до́мъ а҆хаа́вль: дщи́ бо а҆хаа́влѧ бы́сть жена̀ є҆гѡ̀: и҆ сотворѝ ѕло́е пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ.

7

nevertheless the Lord would not utterly destroy the house of David, because of the covenant which he made with David, and as he said to him that he would give a light to him and his sons for ever.

καὶ οὐκ ἐβούλετο Κύριος ἐξολοθρεῦσαι τὸν οἶκον Δαυὶδ διὰ τὴν διαθήκην, ἣν διέθετο τῷ Δαυίδ, καὶ ὡς εἶπεν αὐτῷ δοῦναι αὐτῷ λύχνον καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας.

И҆ не хотѣ̀ гдⷭ҇ь и҆скорени́ти до́мꙋ даві́дова ра́ди завѣ́та, є҆го́же завѣща̀ съ даві́домъ, и҆ ꙗ҆́коже речѐ є҆мꙋ̀, да́ти є҆мꙋ̀ свѣти́льникъ и҆ сынѡ́мъ є҆гѡ̀ во всѧ̑ дни̑.

8

In those days Edom revolted from Juda, and they made a king over themselves.

ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις ἀπέστη ᾿Εδὼμ ἀπὸ τοῦ ᾿Ιούδα καὶ ἐβασίλευσαν ἐφ’ ἑαυτοὺς βασιλέα.

Во дне́хъ ѻ҆́нѣхъ ѿстꙋпѝ є҆дѡ́мъ ѿ і҆ꙋ́ды и҆ поста́ви себѣ̀ царѧ̀.

9

And Joram went with the princes, and all the cavalry with him: and it came to pass that he arose by night, and smote Edom that compassed him about, and the captains of the chariots, and the people fled to their tents.

καὶ ᾤχετο ᾿Ιωρὰμ μετὰ τῶν ἀρχόντων καὶ πᾶσα ἡ ἵππος μετ’ αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐγένετο καὶ ἠγέρθη νυκτὸς καὶ ἐπάταξεν ᾿Εδὼμ τὸν κυκλοῦντα αὐτὸν καὶ τοὺς ἄρχοντας τῶν ἁρμάτων, καὶ ἔφυγεν ὁ λαὸς εἰς τὰ σκηνώματα αὐτῶν.

И҆ по́йде і҆ѡра́мъ съ нача̑льники свои́ми, и҆ всѧ̀ ко́нница съ ни́мъ: и҆ бы́сть, и҆ воста̀ но́щїю, и҆ поразѝ є҆дѡ́ма, и҆́же ѡ҆бы́де ѡ҆́крестъ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ нача́льники колесни́цъ: и҆ побѣго́ша лю́дїе въ селє́нїѧ своѧ̑.

10

And Edom revolted from Juda until this day. Then Lomna at that time revolted from [under] his hand, because he forsook the Lord God of his fathers.

καὶ ἀπέστη ἀπὸ ᾿Ιούδα ᾿Εδὼμ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης· τότε ἀπέστη Λομνὰ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ ἀπὸ χειρὸς αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἐγκατέλιπε Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ·

И҆ ѿстꙋпѝ ѿ і҆ꙋ́ды є҆дѡ́мъ да́же до сегѡ̀ днѐ тогѡ́жде вре́мене и҆ ловна̀ ѿстꙋпѝ и҆з̾ под̾ рꙋкѝ є҆гѡ̀, занѐ ѡ҆ста́ви гдⷭ҇а бг҃а ѻ҆тє́цъ свои́хъ:

11

For he built high places in the cities of Juda, and caused the dwellers in Jerusalem to go a-whoring, and led Juda astray.

καὶ γὰρ αὐτὸς ἐποίησεν ὑψηλὰ ἐν ταῖς πόλεσιν ᾿Ιούδα καὶ ἐξεπόρνευσε τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ καὶ ἀπεπλάνησε τὸν ᾿Ιούδαν.

и҆́бо то́й сотворѝ высѡ́каѧ во градѣ́хъ і҆ꙋ́диныхъ, и҆ блꙋди́ти сотворѝ ѡ҆бита́ющихъ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ и҆ прельстѝ і҆ꙋ́дꙋ.

12

And there came to him [a message] in writing from Eliu the prophet, saying, Thus saith the Lord God of thy father David, Because thou hast not walked in the way of thy father Josaphat, nor in the ways of Asa king of Juda,

καὶ ἦλθεν αὐτῷ ἐν γραφῇ παρὰ ᾿Ηλιοὺ τοῦ προφήτου λέγων· τάδε λέγει Κύριος Θεὸς Δαυὶδ τοῦ πατρός σου· ἀνθ’ ὧν οὐκ ἐπορεύθης ἐν ὁδῷ ᾿Ιωσαφὰτ τοῦ πατρός σου καὶ ἐν ὁδοῖς ᾿Ασὰ βασιλέως ᾿Ιούδα

И҆ прїи́де къ немꙋ̀ писа́нїе ѿ и҆лїѝ прⷪ҇ро́ка, глаго́лѧ: сїѧ̑ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ даві́да ѻ҆тца̀ твоегѡ̀: поне́же не ходи́лъ є҆сѝ по пꙋтѝ і҆ѡсафа́та ѻ҆тца̀ твоегѡ̀ и҆ въ пꙋте́хъ а҆́сы царѧ̀ і҆ꙋ́дина,

13

but hast walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and hast caused Juda and the dwellers in Jerusalem to go a-whoring, as the house of Achaab caused [Israel] to go a-whoring, and thou hast slain thy brethren, the sons of thy father, who were better than thyself;

καὶ ἐπορεύθης ἐν ὁδοῖς βασιλέων ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ ἐξεπόρνευσας τὸν ᾿Ιούδαν καὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ, ὡς ἐξεπόρνευσεν οἶκος ᾿Αχαάβ, καὶ τοὺς ἀδελφούς σου υἱοὺς τοῦ πατρός σου τοὺς ἀγαθοὺς ὑπὲρ σὲ ἀπέκτεινας,

и҆ ходи́лъ є҆сѝ въ пꙋте́хъ царе́й і҆и҃левыхъ, и҆ блꙋди́ти сотвори́лъ є҆сѝ і҆ꙋ́дꙋ и҆ ѡ҆бита́ющихъ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ, ꙗ҆́коже соблꙋдѝ до́мъ а҆хаа́вль, и҆ бра́тїю твою̀, сы́ны ѻ҆тца̀ твоегѡ̀, лꙋ́чшихъ тебє̀ и҆зби́лъ є҆сѝ,

14

behold, the Lord shall smite thee with a great plague among thy people, and thy sons, and thy wives, and all thy store:

ἰδοὺ Κύριος πατάξει σε πληγὴν μεγάλην ἐν τῷ λαῷ σου καὶ ἐν τοῖς υἱοῖς σου καὶ ἐν γυναιξί σου καὶ ἐν πάσῃ τῇ ἀποσκευῇ σου.

сѐ, гдⷭ҇ь порази́тъ тѧ̀ ꙗ҆́звою вели́кою съ людьмѝ твои́ми и҆ съ сынмѝ твои́ми и҆ съ жена́ми твои́ми и҆ со всѣ́мъ и҆мѣ́нїемъ твои́мъ:

15

and thou [shalt be afflicted] with a grievous disease, with a disease of the bowels, until thy bowels shall fall out day by day with the sickness.

καὶ σὺ ἐν μαλακίᾳ πονηρᾷ, ἐν νόσῳ κοιλίας, ἕως οὗ ἐξέλθῃ ἡ κοιλία σου μετὰ τῆς μαλακίας ἐξ ἡμερῶν εἰς ἡμέρας.

ты́ же бꙋ́деши въ ꙗ҆́звѣ лю́тѣй, въ болѣ́зни чре́ва, до́ндеже и҆зы́дꙋтъ внꙋ́трєннѧѧ твоѧ̑ съ ꙗ҆́звою ѿ дні́й во дни̑.

16

So the Lord stirred up the Philistines against Joram, and the Arabians, and those who bordered on the Aethiopians:

καὶ ἐπήγειρε Κύριος ἐπὶ ᾿Ιωρὰμ τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους καὶ τοὺς ῎Αραβας καὶ τοὺς ὁμόρους τῶν Αἰθιόπων,

И҆ воздви́же гдⷭ҇ь на і҆ѡра́ма и҆ноплеме́нники и҆ а҆ра́вѡвъ и҆ сопредѣ̑льныѧ є҆ѳїо́пы:

17

and they went up against Juda, and prevailed against them, and took away all the store which they found in the house of the king, and his sons, and his daughters; and there was no son left to him but Ochozias the youngest of his sons.

καὶ ἀνέβησαν ἐπὶ ᾿Ιούδαν καὶ κατεδυνάστευον καὶ ἀπέστρεψαν πᾶσαν τὴν ἀποσκευήν, ἣν εὗρον ἐν οἴκῳ τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰς θυγατέρας αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐ κατελείφθη αὐτῷ υἱός, ἀλλ’ ἢ ᾿Οχοζίας ὁ μικρότατος τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ.

и҆ взыдо́ша на і҆ꙋ́дꙋ, и҆ преѡдолѣ́ша, и҆ плѣни́ша всѧ̑ сокрѡ́вища, ꙗ҆̀же ѡ҆брѣто́ша въ домꙋ̀ царе́вѣ, и҆ сынѡ́въ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ дщє́ри є҆гѡ̀ и҆ жєны̀ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ не ѡ҆ста́сѧ є҆мꙋ̀ сы́нъ, то́кмѡ ѻ҆хозі́а ме́ньшїй сынѡ́въ є҆гѡ̀.

18

And after all these things the Lord smote him in the bowels with an incurable disease.

καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα πάντα ἐπάταξεν αὐτὸν Κύριος εἰς τὴν κοιλίαν μαλακίαν, ᾗ οὐκ ἔστιν ἰατρεία.

И҆ по си́хъ всѣ́хъ поразѝ є҆го̀ гдⷭ҇ь чре́ва болѣ́знїю неисцѣ́льною.

19

And it continued from day to day: and when the time of the days came [to] two years, his bowels fell out with the disease, and he died by a grievous distemper: and his people performed no funeral, like the funeral of his fathers.

καὶ ἐγένετο ἐξ ἡμερῶν εἰς ἡμέρας, καὶ ὡς ἦλθε καιρὸς τῶν ἡμερῶν ἡμέρας δύο, ἐξῆλθεν ἡ κοιλία αὐτοῦ μετὰ τῆς νόσου, καὶ ἀπέθανεν ἐν μαλακίᾳ πονηρᾷ. καὶ οὐκ ἐποίησεν ὁ λαὸς αὐτοῦ ἐκφορὰν καθὼς ἐκφορὰν πατέρων αὐτοῦ.

И҆ бы́сть ѿ дні́й во дни̑, и҆ є҆гда̀ прїи́де вре́мѧ дні́й два̀ дни̑, и҆ и҆зы́де чре́во є҆гѡ̀ съ болѣ́знїю, и҆ ᲂу҆́мре въ разслабле́нїи лю́тѣмъ. И҆ не сотвори́ша є҆мꙋ̀ лю́дїе по ѡ҆бы́чаю погребе́нїѧ, ꙗ҆́коже погребе́нїе ѻ҆тцє́мъ є҆гѡ̀.

20

He was thirty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. And he departed without honour, and was buried in the city of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.

ἦν τριάκοντα καὶ δύο ἐτῶν, ὅτε ἐβασίλευσε, καὶ ὀκτὼ ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ· καὶ ἐπορεύθη οὐκ ἐν ἐπαίνῳ καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν πόλει Δαυὶδ καὶ οὐκ ἐν τάφοις τῶν βασιλέων.

Три́десѧти двою̀ лѣ́тъ бѧ́ше, є҆гда̀ ца́рствовати нача̀, и҆ ѻ҆́смь лѣ́тъ ца́рствова во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ: ходи́ же не хва́льнѡ, и҆ погребо́ша є҆го̀ во гра́дѣ даві́довѣ, ѻ҆ба́че не во гробѣ́хъ ца́рскихъ.
