II Chronicles

1 And the Spirit of God came on Azariah the son of Oded.

1 καὶ Ἀζαρίας υἱὸς Ὡδήδ, ἐγένετο ἐπ’ αὐτὸν πνεῦμα κυρίου,	1 Καὶ Ἀζαρίας υἱὸς Ὠδήδ, ἐγένετο ἐπ’ αὐτὸν πνεῦμα Κυρίου,

2 And he went out to meet Asa, and said to him, Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; Yahweh is with you, while you be with him; and if you seek him, he will be found of you; but if you forsake him, he will forsake you.

2 καὶ ἐξῆλθεν εἰς ἀπάντησιν Ἀσὰ καὶ παντὶ Ἰούδα καὶ Βενιαμὶν καὶ εἶπεν ἀκούσατέ μου, Ἀσὰ καὶ πᾶς Ἰούδα καὶ Βενιαμίν· κύριος μεθ’ ὑμῶν ἐν τῷ εἶναι ὑμᾶς μετ’ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐὰν ἐκζητήσητε αὐτόν, εὑρεθήσεται ὑμῖν, καὶ ἐὰν ἐγκαταλίπητε αὐτόν, ἐγκαταλείψει ὑμᾶς.	2 καὶ ἐξῆλθεν εἰς ἀπάντησιν Ἀσὰ καὶ παντὶ Ἰούδᾳ καὶ Βενιαμὶν καὶ εἶπε· ἀκούσατέ μου, Ἀσὰ καὶ πᾶς Ἰούδα καὶ Βενιαμίν. Κύριος μεθ’ ὑμῶν ἐν τῷ εἶναι ὑμᾶς μετ’ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐὰν ἐκζητήσητε αὐτόν, εὑρεθήσεται ὑμῖν, καὶ ἐὰν ἐγκαταλίπητε αὐτόν, ἐγκαταλείψει ὑμᾶς.
2 and he went out to meet Asa, and all Jouda and Benjamin, and said, Hear me, Asa, and all Jouda and Benjamin.

3 Now for a long season Israēl has been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.

3 καὶ ἡμέραι πολλαὶ τῷ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν οὐ θεῷ ἀληθινῷ καὶ οὐχ ἱερέως ὑποδεικνύοντος καὶ ἐν οὐ νόμῳ·	3 καὶ ἡμέραι πολλαὶ τῷ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν οὐ θεῷ ἀληθινῷ καὶ οὐχ ἱερέως ὑποδεικνύοντος καὶ ἐν οὐ νόμῳ·

4 But when they in their trouble turned to Yahweh Elohim of Israēl, and sought him, he was found of them.

4 καὶ ἐπιστρέψει ἐπὶ κύριον θεὸν Ἰσραήλ, καὶ εὑρεθήσεται αὐτοῖς.	4 καὶ ἐπιστρέψει αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ Κύριον Θεὸν Ἰσραήλ, καὶ εὑρεθήσεται αὐτοῖς.

5 And in those times there was no peace to him who went out, nor to him who came in, but great vexations were on all the inhabitants of the countries.

5 καὶ ἐν ἐκείνῳ τῷ καιρῷ οὐκ ἔστιν εἰρήνη τῷ ἐκπορευομένῳ, καὶ τῷ εἰσπορευομένῳ ὅτι ἔκστασις κυρίου ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς κατοικοῦντας τὰς χώρας.	5 καὶ ἐν ἐκείνῳ τῷ καιρῷ οὐκ ἐστιν εἰρήνη τῷ ἐκπορευομένῳ καὶ τῷ εἰσπορευομένῳ, ὅτι ἔκστασις Κυρίου ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς κατοικοῦντας τὰς χώρας.

6 And nation was destroyed of nation, and city of city; for God did vex them with all adversity.

6 καὶ πολεμήσει ἔθνος πρὸς ἔθνος καὶ πόλις πρὸς πόλιν, ὅτι ὁ θεὸς ἐξέστησεν αὐτοὺς ἐν πάσῃ θλίψει.	6 καὶ πολεμήσει ἔθνος πρὸς ἔθνος καὶ πόλις πρὸς πόλιν, ὅτι ὁ Θεὸς ἐξέστησεν αὐτοὺς ἐν πάσῃ θλίψει.

8 καὶ ἐν τῷ ἀκοῦσαι τοὺς λόγους τούτους καὶ τὴν προφητείαν Ἀδὰδ τοῦ προφήτου καὶ κατίσχυσεν καὶ ἐξέβαλεν τὰ βδελύγματα ἀπὸ πάσης τῆς γῆς Ἰούδα καὶ Βενιαμὶν καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν πόλεων, ὧν κατέσχεν ἐν ὄρει Ἐφραίμ, καὶ ἐνεκαίνισεν τὸ θυσιαστήριον κυρίου, ὃ ἦν ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ ναοῦ κυρίου.	8 καὶ ἐν τῷ ἀκοῦσαι τοὺς λόγους τούτους καὶ τὴν προφητείαν Ἀδὰδ τοῦ προφήτου καὶ κατίσχυσε καὶ ἐξέβαλε τὰ βδελύγματα ἀπὸ πάσης τῆς γῆς Ἰούδα καὶ Βενιαμὶν καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν πόλεων, ὧν κατέσχεν Ἱεροβοὰμ ἐν ὄρει Ἐφραίμ, καὶ ἐνεκαίνισε τὸ θυσιαστήριον Κυρίου, ὃν ἦν ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ ναοῦ Κυρίου.

9 And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and the strangers with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon; for they fell to him out of Israēl in abundance, when they saw that Yahweh his God was with him.
