ἔπεσεν Οχοζιας διὰ τοῦ δικτυωτοῦ τοῦ ἐν τῷ ὑπερῴῳ αὐτοῦ τῷ ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ καὶ ἠρρώστησεν καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἀγγέλους καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς δεῦτε καὶ ἐπιζητήσατε ἐν τῇ Βααλ μυῖαν θεὸν Ακκαρων εἰ ζήσομαι ἐκ τῆς ἀρρωστίας μου ταύτης καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ἐπερωτῆσαι δι᾿ αὐτοῦ
And Ahaziah fell through the lattice that was in his upper chamber in Samaria, and he became sick, and he sent messengers and said to them, Come and inquire of Baal-myan, the god of Ekron, whether I shall live from this sickness of mine; and they went to inquire through him.
ἄγγελος κυρίου ἐλάλησεν πρὸς Ηλιου τὸν Θεσβίτην λέγων ἀναστὰς δεῦρο εἰς συνάντησιν τῶν ἀγγέλων Οχοζιου βασιλέως Σαμαρείας καὶ λαλήσεις πρὸς αὐτούς εἰ παρὰ τὸ μὴ εἶναι θεὸν ἐν Ισραηλ ὑμεῖς πορεύεσθε ἐπιζητῆσαι ἐν τῇ Βααλ μυῖαν θεὸν Ακκαρων
And the angel of the Lord spoke to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, Rise, go forth to meet the messengers of Ahaziah king of Samaria, and you shall speak to them, Is it because there is no God in Israel that you go to inquire of Baal-zebub, god of Ekron?
οὐχ οὕτως ὅτι τάδε λέγει κύριος ἡ κλίνη ἐφ᾿ ἧς ἀνέβης ἐκεῖ οὐ καταβήσῃ ἀπ᾿ αὐτῆς ὅτι ἐκεῖ θανάτῳ ἀποθανῇ καὶ ἐπορεύθη Ηλιου καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς
Therefore this is not what the Lord says: The bed on which you have gone up, there you shall not come down from it, for there you shall surely die. And Eliu went and said to them.
And the messengers turned back to him, and he said to them, What is it that you have turned back?
εἶπαν πρὸς αὐτόν ἀνὴρ ἀνέβη εἰς συνάντησιν ἡμῶν καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς ἡμᾶς δεῦτε ἐπιστράφητε πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα τὸν ἀποστείλαντα ὑμᾶς καὶ λαλήσατε πρὸς αὐτόν τάδε λέγει κύριος εἰ παρὰ τὸ μὴ εἶναι θεὸν ἐν Ισραηλ σὺ πορεύῃ ζητῆσαι ἐν τῇ Βααλ μυῖαν θεὸν Ακκαρων οὐχ οὕτως ἡ κλίνη ἐφ᾿ ἧς ἀνέβης ἐκεῖ οὐ καταβήσῃ ἀπ᾿ αὐτῆς ὅτι θανάτῳ ἀποθανῇ
And they said to him, A man came up to meet us and said to us, Go, turn back to the king who sent you, and speak to him, Thus says the Lord: Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are going to seek Baal-zebub, god of Ekron? Not so; the bed on which you went up, there you shall not come down from it, because you shall surely die.
ἐλάλησεν πρὸς αὐτοὺς λέγων τίς ἡ κρίσις τοῦ ἀνδρὸς τοῦ ἀναβάντος εἰς συνάντησιν ὑμῖν καὶ λαλήσαντος πρὸς ὑμᾶς τοὺς λόγους τούτους
And he spoke to them, saying, What was the manner of the man who came up to meet you and spoke to you these words?
εἶπον πρὸς αὐτόν ἀνὴρ δασὺς καὶ ζώνην δερματίνην περιεζωσμένος τὴν ὀσφὺν αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν Ηλιου ὁ Θεσβίτης οὗτός ἐστιν
And they said to him, A hairy man and girt around his loins with a leather belt. And he said, Elijah the Tishbite, this is he.
ἀπέστειλεν πρὸς αὐτὸν ἡγούμενον πεντηκόνταρχον καὶ τοὺς πεντήκοντα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀνέβη καὶ ἦλθεν πρὸς αὐτόν καὶ ἰδοὺ Ηλιου ἐκάθητο ἐπὶ τῆς κορυφῆς τοῦ ὄρους καὶ ἐλάλησεν ὁ πεντηκόνταρχος πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπεν ἄνθρωπε τοῦ θεοῦ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐκάλεσέν σε κατάβηθι
And he sent to him a captain of fifty and his fifty, and he went up and came to him, and behold, Elijah was sitting on the top of the mountain, and the captain of fifty spoke to him and said, Man of God, the king has called you; come down.
ἀπεκρίθη Ηλιου καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς τὸν πεντηκόνταρχον καὶ εἰ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ θεοῦ ἐγώ καταβήσεται πῦρ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ καταφάγεταί σε καὶ τοὺς πεντήκοντά σου καὶ κατέβη πῦρ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ κατέφαγεν αὐτὸν καὶ τοὺς πεντήκοντα αὐτοῦ
And Eliou answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I am a man of God, fire shall come down from heaven and devour you and your fifty. And fire came down from heaven and devoured him and his fifty.
προσέθετο ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ ἀπέστειλεν πρὸς αὐτὸν ἄλλον πεντηκόνταρχον καὶ τοὺς πεντήκοντα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀνέβη καὶ ἐλάλησεν ὁ πεντηκόνταρχος πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπεν ἄνθρωπε τοῦ θεοῦ τάδε λέγει ὁ βασιλεύς ταχέως κατάβηθι
And the king added and sent to him another captain of fifty and his fifty; and he went up and the captain of fifty spoke to him and said, Man of God, thus says the king: Come down quickly.
ἀπεκρίθη Ηλιου καὶ ἐλάλησεν πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπεν εἰ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ θεοῦ ἐγώ εἰμι καταβήσεται πῦρ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ καταφάγεταί σε καὶ τοὺς πεντήκοντά σου καὶ κατέβη πῦρ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ κατέφαγεν αὐτὸν καὶ τοὺς πεντήκοντα αὐτοῦ
And Elijah answered and spoke to him and said, If I am a man of God, fire shall come down from the heaven and shall devour you and your fifty. And fire came down from the heaven and devoured him and his fifty.
προσέθετο ὁ βασιλεὺς ἔτι ἀποστεῖλαι ἡγούμενον πεντηκόνταρχον τρίτον καὶ τοὺς πεντήκοντα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἦλθεν πρὸς αὐτὸν ὁ πεντηκόνταρχος ὁ τρίτος καὶ ἔκαμψεν ἐπὶ τὰ γόνατα αὐτοῦ κατέναντι Ηλιου καὶ ἐδεήθη αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐλάλησεν πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπεν ἄνθρωπε τοῦ θεοῦ ἐντιμωθήτω δὴ ἡ ψυχή μου καὶ ἡ ψυχὴ τῶν δούλων σου τούτων τῶν πεντήκοντα ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου
And the king added yet to send a third captain of fifty and his fifty; and the third captain of fifty came to him and bent on his knees before Eliou and begged him and spoke to him and said, Man of God, let my life and the life of these your servants, these fifty, be precious in your eyes.
κατέβη πῦρ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ κατέφαγεν τοὺς δύο πεντηκοντάρχους τοὺς πρώτους καὶ τοὺς πεντήκοντα αὐτῶν καὶ νῦν ἐντιμωθήτω δὴ ἡ ψυχὴ τῶν δούλων σου ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου
Behold, fire came down from heaven and consumed the two first captains of fifty and their fifty men; and now let, I pray, the life of your servants be precious in your eyes.
ἐλάλησεν ἄγγελος κυρίου πρὸς Ηλιου καὶ εἶπεν κατάβηθι μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ μὴ φοβηθῇς ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν καὶ ἀνέστη Ηλιου καὶ κατέβη μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα
And the angel of the Lord spoke to Elijah and said, Go down with him; do not fear before their face. And Elijah arose and went down with him to the king.
ἐλάλησεν πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπεν Ηλιου τάδε λέγει κύριος τί ὅτι ἀπέστειλας ἀγγέλους ζητῆσαι ἐν τῇ Βααλ μυῖαν θεὸν Ακκαρων οὐχ οὕτως ἡ κλίνη ἐφ᾿ ἧς ἀνέβης ἐκεῖ οὐ καταβήσῃ ἀπ᾿ αὐτῆς ὅτι θανάτῳ ἀποθανῇ
And he spoke to him and said, Eliu, thus says the Lord: Because you sent messengers to inquire of Baal-muian, the god of Accaron, was it not so? The bed on which you went up there, you shall not come down from it, because you shall surely die.
And he died according to the word of the Lord, which Elijah had spoken.
τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Οχοζιου ὅσα ἐποίησεν οὐκ ἰδοὺ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐπὶ βιβλίου λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν Ισραηλ Ιωραμ υἱὸς Αχααβ βασιλεύει ἐπὶ Ισραηλ ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ ἔτη δέκα δύο ἐν ἔτει ὀκτωκαιδεκάτῳ Ιωσαφατ βασιλέως Ιουδα ἐποίησεν τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον κυρίου πλὴν οὐχ ὡς οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ οὐδὲ ὡς ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ ἀπέστησεν τὰς στήλας τοῦ Βααλ ἃς ἐποίησεν ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ καὶ συνέτριψεν αὐτάς πλὴν ἐν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις οἴκου Ιεροβοαμ ὃς ἐξήμαρτεν τὸν Ισραηλ ἐκολλήθη οὐκ ἀπέστη ἀπ᾿ αὐτῶν ἐθυμώθη ὀργῇ κύριος εἰς τὸν οἶκον Αχααβ
And the rest of the words of Ahaziah, as many as he did, are not behold, these things written on the book of the words of the days for the kings of Israel?
