2 Chronicles 12

1And it came to pass when the kingdom of Roboam was established, and when he had grown strong, that he forsook the commandments of the Lord, and all Israel with him.Καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἡτοιμάσθη ἡ βασιλεία Ῥοβοὰμ, καὶ ὡς κατεκρατήθη, ἐγκατέλιπε τὰς ἐντολὰς Κυρίου, καὶ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ μετʼ αὐτοῦ.

2And it came to pass in the fifth year of the reign of Roboam, Susakim king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had sinned against the Lord,Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ πέμπτῳ τῆς βασιλείας Ῥοβοὰμ, ἀνέβη Σουσακὶμ βασιλεὺς Αἰγύπτου ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ, ὅτι ἥμαρτον ἐναντίον Κυρίου,

3with twelve hundred chariots, and sixty thousand horses: and there was no number of the multitude that came with him from Egypt; Libyans, Trogodytes, and Ethiopians.ἐν χιλίοις καὶ διακοσίοις ἅρμασι καὶ ἑξήκοντα χιλιάσιν ἵππων, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ἀριθμὸς τοῦ πλήθους τοῦ ἐλθόντος μετʼ αὐτοῦ ἐξ Αἰγύπτου, Λίβυες, Τρωγοδύται, καὶ Αἰθίοπες.

4And they obtained possession of the strong cities, which were in Juda, and came to Jerusalem.Καὶ κατεκράτησαν τῶν πόλεων τῶν ὀχυρῶν, αἳ ἦσαν ἐν Ἰούδα, καὶ ἦλθον εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ.

5And Samaias the prophet came to Roboam, and to the princes of Juda that were gathered to Jerusalem for fear of Susakim, and said to them, Thus said the Lord, You have left me, and I will leave you in the hand of Susakim.Καὶ Σαμαίας ὁ προφήτης ἦλθε πρὸς Ῥοβοὰμ, καὶ πρὸς τοὺς ἄρχοντας Ἰούδα τοὺς συναχθέντας εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἀπὸ προσώπου Σουσακὶμ, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, οὕτως εἶπε Κύριος, ὑμεῖς ἐγκατελίπετέ με, καὶ ἐγὼ ἐγκαταλείψω ὑμᾶς ἐν χειρὶ Σουσακίμ.

6And the elders of Israel and the king were ashamed, and said, The Lord is righteous.Καὶ ᾐσχύνθησαν οἱ ἄρχοντες Ἰσραὴλ καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς, καὶ εἶπαν, δίκαιος ὁ κύριος.

7And when the Lord saw that they repented, then came the word of the Lord to Samaias, saying, They have repented; I will not destroy them, but I will set them in safety for a little while, and my wrath shall not be poured out on Jerusalem.Καὶ ἐν τῷ ἰδεῖν Κύριον ὅτι ἐνετράπησαν, καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς Σαμαίαν, λέγων, ἐνετράπησαν, οὐ καταφθερῶ αὐτοὺς, καὶ δώσω αὐτοὺς ὡς μικρὸν εἰς σωτηρίαν, καὶ οὐ μὴ στάξῃ ὁ θυμός μου ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ·

8Nevertheless they shall be servants, and know my service, and the service of the kings of the earth.ὅτι ἔσονται εἰς παῖδας, καὶ γνώσονται τὴν δουλείαν μου, καὶ τὴν δουλείαν τῆς βασιλείας τῆς γῆς.

9So Susakim king of Egypt went up against Jerusalem, and took the treasures that were in the house of the Lord, and the treasures that were in the king's house: he took all; and he took the golden shields which Solomon had made.Καὶ ἀνέβη Σουσακὶμ βασιλεὺς Αἰγύπτου ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ ἔλαβε τοὺς θησαυροὺς τοὺς ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου, καὶ τοὺς θησαυροὺς τοὺς ἐν οἴκῳ τοῦ βασιλέως, τὰ πάντα ἔλαβε· καὶ ἔλαβε τοὺς θυρεοὺς τοὺς χρυσοῦς οὓς ἐποίησε Σαλωμών.

10And king Roboam made brazen shields instead of them. And Susakim set over him captains of footmen, as keepers of the gate of the king.Καὶ ἐποίησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ῥοβοὰμ θυρεοὺς χαλκοῦς ἀντʼ αὐτῶν· καὶ κατέστησεν ἐπʼ αὐτὸν Σουσακὶμ ἄρχοντας παρατρεχόντων, τοὺς φυλάσσοντας τὸν πυλῶνα τοῦ βασιλέως.

11And it came to pass, when the king went into the house of the Lord, the guards and the footmen went in, and they that returned to meet the footmen.Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ εἰσελθεῖν τὸν βασιλέα εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου, εἰσεπορεύοντο οἱ φυλάσσοντες, καὶ οἱ παρατρέχοντες, καὶ οἱ ἐπιστρέφοντες εἰς ἀπάντησιν τῶν παρατρεχόντων.

12And when he repented, the anger of the Lord turned from him, and did not destroy him utterly; for there were good things in Juda.Καὶ ἐν τῷ ἐντραπῆναι αὐτὸν, ἀπεστράφη ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ ὀργὴ Κυρίου, καὶ οὐκ εἰς καταφθορὰν εἰς τέλος· καὶ γὰρ ἐν Ἰούδα ἦσαν λόγοι ἀγαθοί.

13So king Roboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: and Roboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, in the city which the Lord chose out of all the tribes of the children of Israel to call his name there: and his mother's name was Noomma the Ammanitess.Καὶ κατίσχυσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ῥοβοὰμ ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ ἐβασίλευσε· καὶ τεσσαράκοντα καὶ ἑνὸς ἐτῶν Ῥοβοὰμ ἐν τῷ βασιλεῦσαι αὐτὸν, καὶ ἑπτακαίδεκα ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ, ἐν τῇ πόλει ᾗ ἐξελέξατο Κύριος ἐπονομάσαι τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ἐκεῖ ἐκ πασῶν φυλῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ τὸ ὄνομα τῆς μητρὸς αὐτοῦ Νοομμὰ ἡ Ἀμμανίτις.

14And he did evil, for he directed not his heart to seek the Lord.Καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν, ὅτι οὐ κατεύθυνε τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ ἐκζητῆσαι τὸν κύριον.

15And the acts of Roboam, the first and the last, behold, are they not written in the book of Samaia the prophet, and Addo the seer, with his achievements.Καὶ λόγοι Ῥοβοὰμ οἱ πρῶτοι καὶ ἔσχατοι οὐκ ἰδοὺ γεγραμμένοι ἐν τοῖς λόγοις Σαμαία τοῦ προφήτου, καὶ Ἀδδὼ τοῦ ὁρῶντος, καὶ πράξεις αὐτοῦ; καὶ ἐπολέμησε Ῥοβοὰμ τὸν Ἱεροβοὰμ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας.

16And Roboam made war with Jeroboam all his days. And Roboam died with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abia his son reigned in his stead.Καὶ ἀπέθανε Ῥοβοὰμ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν πόλει Δαυὶδ, καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ἀβιὰ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ.
