1 Chronicles 4

1And the sons of Juda; Phares, Esrom, and Charmi, and Or, Subal,Καὶ υἱοὶ Ἰούδα, Φαρὲς, Ἐσρὼμ, καὶ Χαρμὶ, καὶ Ὢρ, Σουβὰλ,

2and Rada his son; and Subal begot Jeth; and Jeth begot Achimai, and Laad: these are the generations of the Arathites.καὶ Ῥάδα υἱὸς αὐτοῦ· καὶ Σουβὰλ ἐγέννησε τὸν Ἰέθ· καὶ Ἰὲθ ἐγέννησε τὸν Ἀχιμαῒ, καὶ τὸν Λαάδ· αὗται αἱ γενέσεις τοῦ Ἀραθί.

3And these are the sons of Aetam; Jezrael and Jesman, and Jebdas: and their sister's name was Eselebbon.Καὶ οὗτοι υἱοὶ Αἰτὰμ, Ἰεζραὴλ, καὶ Ἰεσμὰν, καὶ Ἰεβδάς· καὶ ὄνομα ἀδελφῆς αὐτῶν Ἐσηλεββών.

4And Phanuel the father of Gedor, and Jazer the father of Osan: these are the sons of Or, the firstborn of Ephratha, the father of Baethalaen.Καὶ Φανουὴλ πατὴρ Γεδὼρ, καὶ Ἰαζὴρ πατὴρ Ὠσάν· οὗτοι υἱοὶ Ὢρ τοῦ πρωτοτόκου Ἐφραθὰ πατρὸς Βαιθαλαέν.

5And Asur the father of Thecoe had two wives, Aoda and Thoada.Καὶ τῷ Ἀσοὺρ πατρὶ Θεκωὲ ἦσαν δύο γυναῖκες, Ἀωδὰ, καὶ Θοαδά.

6And Aoda bore to him Ochaia, and Ephal, and Thaeman, and Aasther: all these were the sons of Aoda.Καὶ ἔτεκεν αὐτῷ Ἀωδὰ τὸν Ὠχαία, καὶ τὸν Ἠφὰλ, καὶ τὸν Θαιμὰν, καὶ τὸν Ἀασθήρ· πάντες οὗτοι υἱοὶ Ἀωδᾶς.

7And the sons of Thoada; Sereth, and Saar, and Esthanam.Καὶ υἱοὶ Θοαδᾶς, Σερὲθ, καὶ Σαὰρ, καὶ Ἐσθανάμ.

8And Coe begot Enob, and Sabatha, and the progeny of the brother of Rechab, the son of Jarin.Καὶ Κωὲ ἐγέννησε τὸν Ἐνὼβ, καὶ τὸν Σαβαθά· καὶ γεννήσεις ἀδελφοῦ Ῥηχὰβ, υἱοῦ Ἰαρίν.

9And Igabes was more famous than his brethren; and his mother called his name Igabes, saying, I have born as a sorrowful one.Καὶ ἦν Ἰγαβὴς ἔνδοξος ὑπὲρ τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἡ μήτηρ ἐκάλεσε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰγαβὴς, λέγουσα, ἔτεκον ὡς γαβής.

10And Igabes called on the God of Israel, saying, O that you would indeed bless me, and enlarge my coasts, and that your hand might be with me, and that you would make me know that you will not grieve me! And God granted him all that he asked.Καὶ ἐπεκαλέσατο Ἰγαβὴς τὸν Θεὸν Ἰσραὴλ, λέγων, ἐὰν εὐλογῶν εὐλογήσῃς με, καὶ πληθύνῃς τὰ ὅριά μου, καὶ ᾖ ἡ χείρ σου μετʼ ἐμοῦ, καὶ ποιήσῃς γνῶσιν τοῦ μὴ ταπεινῶσαί με· καὶ ἐπήγαγεν ὁ Θεὸς πάντα ὅσα ᾐτήσατο.

11And Chaleb the father of Ascha begot Machir; he was the father of Assathon.Καὶ Χαλὲβ πατὴρ Ἀσχὰ ἐγέννησε τὸν Μαχίρ· οὗτος πατὴρ Ἀσσαθών.

12He begot Bathraias, and Bessee, and Thaeman the founder of the city of Naas the brother of Eselom the Kenezite: these were the men of Rechab.Ἐγέννησε τὸν Βαθραίαν, καὶ τὸν Βεσσηὲ, καὶ τὸν Θαιμὰν πατέρα πόλεως Ναᾶς ἀδελφοῦ Ἐσελὼμ τοῦ Κενεζί· οὗτοι ἄνδρες Ῥηχάβ.

13And the sons of Kenez; Gothoniel, and Saraia: and the sons of Gothoniel; Athath.Καὶ υἱοὶ Κενὲζ, Γοθονιὴλ, καὶ Σαραΐα· καὶ υἱοὶ Γοθονιὴλ, Ἀθάθ.

14And Manathi begot Gophera: and Saraia begot Jobab, the father of Ageaddair, for they were artificers.Καὶ Μαναθὶ ἐγέννησε τὸν Γοφερά. καὶ Σαραΐα ἐγέννησε τὸν Ἰωβὰβ, πατέρα Ἀγεαδδαῒρ, ὅτι τέκτονες ἦσαν.

15And the sons of Chaleb the son of Jephonne; Er, Ada, and Noom: and the sons of Ada, Kenez.Καὶ υἱοὶ Χαλὲβ υἱοῦ Ἰεφοννὴ, Ἢρ, Ἀδὰ, καὶ Νοόμ· καὶ υἱοὶ Ἀδὰ, Κενέζ.

16And the sons of Aleel, Zib, and Zepha, and Thiria, and Eserel.Καὶ υἱοὶ Ἀλεὴλ, Ζὶβ, καὶ Ζεφὰ, καὶ Θιριὰ, καὶ Ἐσερήλ.

17And the sons of Esri; Jether, Morad, and Apher, and Jamon: and Jether begot Maron, and Semei, and Jesba the father of Esthaemon.Καὶ υἱοὶ Ἐσρὶ, Ἰεθὲρ, Μωρὰδ, καὶ Ἄφερ, καὶ Ἰαμών· καὶ ἐγέννησεν Ἰεθὲρ τὸν Μαρὼν, καὶ τὸν Σεμεῒ, καὶ τὸν Ἰεσβὰ πατέρα Ἐσθαίμων·

18And his wife, that is Adia, bore Jared the father of Gedor, and Aber the father of Sochon, and Chetiel the father of Zamon: and these are the sons of Betthia the daughter of Pharao, whom Mored took.Καὶ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ αὕτη Ἀδία, ἔτεκε τὸν Ἰάρεδ πατέρα Γεδὼρ, καὶ τὸν Ἀβὲρ πατέρα Σωχὼν, καὶ τὸν Χετιὴλ πατέρα Ζαμών· καὶ οὗτοι υἱοὶ Βετθία θυγατρὸς Φαραὼ, ἣν ἔλαβε Μωρήδ.

19And the sons of the wife of Iduia the sister of Nachaim the father of Keila; Garmi, and Esthaemon the Nochathite.Καὶ υἱοὶ γυναικὸς τῆς Ἰδουίας ἀδελφῆς Ναχαῒμ πατρὸς Κεϊλὰ, Γαρμὶ, καὶ Ἐσθαιμὼν Νωχαθί.

20And the sons of Semon; Amnon, and Ana the son of Phana, and Inon: and the sons of Sei, Zoan, and the sons of Zoab.Καὶ υἱοὶ Σεμὼν, Αμνὼν, καὶ Ἀνὰ υἱὸς Φανὰ, καὶ Ἰνών· καὶ υἱοὶ Σεῒ, Ζωὰν, καὶ υἱοὶ Ζωάβ.

21The sons of Selom the son of Juda; Er the father of Lechab, and Laada the father of Marisa, and the offspring of the family of Ephrathabac belonging to the house of Esoba.Υἱοὶ Σηλὼμ υἱοῦ Ἰούδα, Ἢρ πατὴρ Ληχὰβ, καὶ Λααδὰ πατὴρ Μαρισά· καὶ γενέσεις οἰκείων Ἐφραθαβὰκ τῷ οἴκῳ Ἐσοβὰ,

22And Joakim, and the men of Chozeba, and Joas, and Saraph, who lived in Moab, and he changed their names to Abederin and Athukiim.καὶ Ἰωακὶμ, καὶ ἄνδρες Χωζηβὰ, καὶ Ἰωὰς, καὶ Σαρὰφ, οἳ κατῴκησαν ἐν Μωάβ· καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν αὐτος ἀβεδηρὶν, ἀθουκιΐμ·

23These are the potters who lived in Ataim and Gadira with the king: they grew strong in his kingdom, and lived there.Οὗτοι κεραμεῖς οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν Ἀταῒμ καὶ Γαδιρὰ μετὰ τοῦ βασιλέως, ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ αὐτοῦ ἐνίσχυσαν, καὶ κατῴκησαν ἐκεῖ.

24The sons of Semeon; Namuel, and Jamin, Jarib, Zares, Saul:Υἱοὶ Σεμεὼν, Ναμουὴλ, καὶ Ἰαμὶν, Ἰαρὶβ, Ζαρὲς, Σαοὺλ,

25Salem his son, Mabasam his son, Masma his son:Σαλὲμ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ, Μαβασὰμ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ, Μασμὰ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ,

26Amuel his son, Sabud his son, Zacchur his son, Semei his son.Σεμεῒ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ·

27Semei had sixteen sons, and six daughters; and his brethren had not many sons, neither did all their families multiply as the sons of Juda.Τῷ Σεμεῒ υἱοὶ ἑκκαίδεκα, καὶ θυγατέρες ἕξ· καὶ τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς αὐτῶν οὐκ ἦσαν υἱοὶ πολλοί· καὶ πᾶσαι αἱ πατριαὶ αὐτῶν οὐκ ἐπλεόνασαν ὡς υἱοὶ Ἰούδα.

28And they lived in Bersabee, and Molada, and in Esersual,Καὶ κατῴκησαν ἐν Βηρσαβεὲ, καὶ Μωλαδὰ, καὶ ἐν Ἑσερσουὰλ,

29and in Balaa, and in Aesem, and in Tholad,καὶ ἐν Βαλαὰ, καὶ ἐν Αἰσὲμ, καὶ ἐν Θωλὰδ,

30and in Bathuel, and in Herma, and in Sikelag,καὶ ἐν Ἑρμὰ, καὶ ἐν Σικελὰγ,

31and in Baethmarimoth, and Hemisuseosin, and the house of Baruseorim: these were their cities until the time of king David.καὶ ἐν Βαιθμαριμὼθ, καὶ Ἡμισουσεωσὶν, καὶ οἴκου Βαρουσεωρίμ· αὗται αἱ πόλεις αὐτῶν ἕως βασιλέως Δαυίδ.

32And their villages were Aetan, and En, Remnon, and Thocca, and Aesar, five cities.Καὶ ἐπαύλεις αὐτῶν Αἰτὰν, καὶ Ἢν, Ῥεμνὼν, καὶ Θοκκὰ, καὶ Αἰσὰρ, πόλεις πέντε.

33And all their villages were round about these cities, as far as Baal: this was their possession, and their distribution.Καὶ πᾶσαι ἐπαύλεις αὐτῶν κύκλῳ τῶν πόλεων τούτων ἕως Βάαλ· αὕτη κατάσχεσις αὐτῶν, καὶ ὁ καταλοχισμὸς αὐτῶν.

34And Mosobab, and Jemoloch, and Josia the son of Amasia;Καὶ Μοσωβὰβ, καὶ Ἰεμολὸχ, καὶ Ἰωσία υἱὸς Ἀμασία,

35and Joel, and Jeu the son of Asabia, the son of Sarau, the son of Asiel;καὶ Ἰωὴλ, καὶ Ἰηοὺ υἱὸς Ἀσαβία, υἱὸς Σαραῦ, υἱὸς Ἀσιὴλ,

36and Elionai, and Jocaba, and Jasuia, and Asaia, and Jediel, and Ismael, and Banaias;καὶ Ἐλιωναῒ, καὶ Ἰωκαβὰ, καὶ Ἰασουία, καὶ Ἀσαΐα, καὶ Ἰεδιὴλ, καὶ Ἰσμαὴλ, καὶ Βαναίας, καὶ Ζουζὰ υἱὸς Σαφαῒ,

37and Zuza the son of Saphai, the son of Alon, the son of Jedia, the son of Semri, the son of Samaias.υἱοῦ Ἀλὼν, υἱοῦ Ἰεδιὰ, υἱοῦ Σεμρὶ, υἱοῦ Σαμαίου.

38These went by the names of princes in their families, and they increased abundantly in their fathers' households.Οὗτοι οἱ διελθόντες ἐν ὀνόμασιν ἀρχόντων ἐν ταῖς γενέσεσιν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐν οἴκοις πατριῶν αὐτῶν ἐπληθύνθησαν εἰς πλῆθος.

39And they went till they came to Gerara, to the east of Gai, to seek pasture for their cattle.Καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ἕως τοῦ ἐλθεῖν Γέραρα ἕως τῶν ἀνατολῶν τῆς Γαὶ, τοῦ ζητῆσαι νομὰς τοῖς κτήνεσιν αὐτῶν.

40And they found abundant and good pastures, and the land before them was wide, and there was peace and quietness; for there were some of the children of Cham who lived there before.Καὶ εὗρον νομὰς πλεὶονας καὶ ἀγαθάς· καὶ ἡ γῆ πλατεῖα ἐναντίον αὐτῶν, καὶ εἰρήνη καὶ ἡσυχία, ὅτι ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν Χὰμ τὼν κατοικούντων ἐκεῖ ἔμπροσθεν.

41And these who are written by name came in the days of Ezekias king of Juda, and they struck the people's houses, and the Minaeans whom they found there, and utterly destroyed them until this day: and they lived in their place, because there was pasture there for their cattle.Καὶ ἤλθοσαν οὗτοι οἱ γεγραμμένοι ἐπʼ ὀνόματος ἐν ἡμέραις Ἐζεκίου βασιλέως Ἰούδα, καὶ ἐπάταξαν τοὺς οἴκους αὐτῶν καὶ τοὺς Μιναίους οὕς εὕροσαν ἐκεῖ, καὶ ἀνεθεμάτισαν αὐτοὺς ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης· καὶ ᾤκησαν ἀντʼ αὐτῶν, ὅτι νομαὶ τοῖς κτήνεσιν αὐτῶν ἐκεῖ.

42And some of them, even of the sons of Symeon, went to mount Seir, even five hundred men; and Phalaettia, and Noadia, and Raphaia, and Oziel, sons of Jesi, were their rulers.Καὶ ἐξ αὐτῶν ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Συμεὼν ἐπορεύθησαν εἰς ὄρος Σηὶρ ἄνδρες πεντακόσιοι, καὶ Φαλαεττία, καὶ Νωαδία, καὶ Ῥαφαΐα, καὶ Ὀζιὴλ υἱοὶ Ἰεσὶ ἄρχοντες αὐτῶν.

43And they struck the remnant that were left of Amalec, until this day.Καὶ ἐπάταξαν τοὺς καταλοίπους τοὺς καταλειφθέντας τοῦ Ἀμαλὴκ ἕως ἡμέρας ταύτης.
