| 1 | And the sons of the prophets said to Eliseus: Behold the place where we dwell with thee is too strait for us. | Καὶ εἶπον υἱοὶ τῶν προφητῶν πρὸς Ἐλισαιὲ, ἰδοὺ δὴ ὁ τόπος ἐν ᾧ ἡμεῖς οἰκοῦμεν ἐνώπιόν σου στενὸς ἀφʼ ἡμῶν. |
| 2 | Let us go as far as the Jordan and take out of the wood every man a piece of timber, that we may build us there a place to dwell in. And he said: Go. | Πορευθῶμεν δὴ ἕως τοῦ Ἰορδάνου, καὶ λάβωμεν ἐκεῖθεν ἀνὴρ εἷς δοκὸν μίαν, καὶ ποιήσωμεν ἑαυτοῖς ἐκεῖ τοῦ οἰκεῖν ἐκεῖ· καὶ εἶπε, δεῦτε. |
| 3 | And one of them said: But come thou also with thy servants. He answered: I will come. | Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ εἷς ἐπιεικῶς, δεῦρο μετὰ τῶν δούλων σου· καὶ εἶπεν, ἐγὼ πορεύσομαι. |
| 4 | So he went with them. And when they were come to the Jordan they cut down wood. | Καὶ ἐπορεύθη μετʼ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἦλθον εἰς τὸν Ἰορδάνην, καὶ ἔτεμνον τὰ ξύλα. |
| 5 | And it happened, as one was felling some timber, that the head of the axe fell into the water: and he cried out, and said: Alas, alas, alas, my lord, for this same was borrowed. | Καὶ ἰδοὺ ὁ εἷς καταβάλλων τὴν δοκὸν, καὶ τὸ σιδήριον ἐξέπεσεν εἰς τὸ ὕδωρ, καὶ ἐβόησεν, ὤ κύριε, καὶ αὐτὸ κεκρυμμένον. |
| 6 | And the man of God said: Where did it fall? and he shewed him the place. Then he cut off a piece of wood, and cast it in thither: and the iron swam. | Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ Θεοῦ, ποῦ ἔπεσε; καὶ ἔδειξεν αὐτῷ τὸν τόπον· καὶ ἀπέκνισε ξύλον καὶ ἔῤῥιψεν ἐκεῖ, καὶ ἐπεπόλασεν τὸ σιδήριον. |
| 7 | And he said: Take it up. And he put out his hand and took it. | Καὶ εἴρηκεν, ὕψωσον σεαυτῷ· καὶ ἐξέτεινε τὴν χεῖρα, καὶ ἔλαβεν αὐτό. |
| 8 | And the king of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying: In such and such a place let us lay ambushes. | Καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Συρίας ἦν πολεμῶν ἐν Ἰσραήλ· καὶ ἐβουλεύσατο πρὸς τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ, λέγων, εἰς τὸν τόπον τόνδε τινὰ ἐλμωνὶ παρεμβαλῶ. |
| 9 | And the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying: Beware that thou pass not to such a place: for the Syrians are there in ambush. | Καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ἐλισαιὲ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Ἰσραὴλ, λέγων, φύλαξαι μὴ παρελθεῖν ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ, ὅτι ἐκεῖ Συρία κέκρυπται. |
| 10 | And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God had told him, and prevented him, and looked well to himself there not once nor twice. | Καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ εἰς τὸν τόπον ὃν εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ἐλισαιὲ, καὶ ἐφυλάξατο ἐκεῖθεν οὐ μίαν οὐδὲ δύο. |
| 11 | And the heart of the king of Syria was troubled for this thing. And calling together his servants, he said: Why do you not tell me who it is that betrays me to the king of Israel? | Καὶ ἐξεκινήθη ἡ ψυχὴ βασιλέως Συρίας περὶ τοῦ λόγου τούτου· καὶ ἐκάλεσε τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτοὺς, οὐκ ἀναγγελεῖτέ μοι τίς προδίδωσί με βασιλεῖ Ἰσραήλ; |
| 12 | And one of his servants said: No one, my lord O king: but Eliseus the prophet, that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel all the words, that thou speakest in thy privy chamber. | Καὶ εἶπεν εἷς τῶν παίδων αὐτοῦ, οὐχί κύριέ μου βασιλεῦ, ὅτι Ἐλισαιὲ ὁ προφήτης ὁ ἐν Ἰσραὴλ ἀναγγέλλει τῷ βασιλεῖ Ἰσραὴλ πάντας τοὺς λόγους, οὓς ἐὰν λαλήσῃς ἐν τῷ ταμείῳ τοῦ κοιτῶνός σου. |
| 13 | And he said to them: Go, and see where he is: that I may send, and take him. And they told him, saying: Behold he is in Dothan. | Καὶ εἶπε, δεῦτε ἴδετε ποῦ οὗτος, καὶ ἀποστείλας λήψομαι αὐτόν· καὶ ἀπήγγειλαν αὐτῷ, λέγοντες, ἰδοὺ ἐν Δωθαΐμ. |
| 14 | Therefore he sent thither horses and chariots, and the strength of an army: and they came by night, and beset the city. | Καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἐκεῖ ἵππον καὶ ἅρμα καὶ δύναμιν βαρεῖαν, καὶ ἦλθον νυκτὸς καὶ περιεκύκλωσαν τὴν πόλιν. |
| 15 | And the servant of the man of God rising early, went out, and saw an army round about the city, and horses and chariots: and he told him, saying: Alas, alas, alas, my lord, what shall we do? | Καὶ ὤρθρισεν ὁ λειτουργὸς Ἐλισαιὲ ἀναστῆναι, καὶ ἐξῆλθε· καὶ ἰδοὺ δύναμις κυκλοῦσα τὴν πόλιν, καὶ ἵππος καὶ ἅρμα· καὶ εἶπε τὸ παιδάριον πρὸς αὐτὸν, ὦ κύριε, πῶς ποιήσομεν; |
| 16 | But he answered: Fear not: for there are more with us than with them. | Καὶ εἶπεν Ἐλισαιὲ, μὴ φοβοῦ, ὅτι πλείους οἱ μεθʼ ἡμῶν ὑπὲρ τοὺς μετʼ αὐτῶν. |
| 17 | And Eliseus prayed, and said: Lord, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the servant, and he saw: and behold the mountain was full of horses, and chariots of fire round about Eliseus. | Καὶ προσηύξατο Ἐλισαιὲ, καὶ εἶπε, Κύριε, διάνοιξον δὴ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς τοῦ παιδαρίου καὶ ἰδέτω· καὶ διήνοιξε Κύριος τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶδε· καὶ ἰδοὺ τὸ ὄρος πλῆρες ἵππων, καὶ ἅρμα πυρὸς περικύκλῳ Ἐλισαιέ. |
| 18 | And the enemies came down to him, but Eliseus prayed to the Lord, saying: Strike, I beseech thee, this people with blindness. And the Lord struck them with blindness, according to the word of Eliseus. | Καὶ κατέβησαν πρὸς αὐτόν· καὶ προσηύξατο πρὸς Κύριον, καὶ εἶπε, πάταξον δὴ τὸ ἔθνος τοῦτο ἀορασίᾳ· καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτοὺς ἀορασίᾳ, κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα Ἑλισαιὲ. |
| 19 | And Eliseus said to them: This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will shew you the man whom you seek. So he led them into Samaria. | Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτοὺς Ἑλισαιὲ, οὐχὶ αὕτη ἡ πόλις καὶ αὕτη ἡ ὁδός· δεῦτε ὀπίσω μου, καὶ ἄξω ὑμᾶς πρὸς τὸν ἄνδρα ὃν ζητεῖτε· καὶ ἀπήγαγεν αὐτοὺς πρὸς Σαμάρειαν. |
| 20 | And when they were come into Samaria, Eliseus said: Lord, open the eyes of these men, that they may see. And the Lord opened their eyes, and they saw themselves to be in the midst of Samaria. | Καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς εἰσῆλθον εἰς Σαμάρειαν, καὶ εἶπεν Ἑλισαιὲ, ἄνοιξον δή Κύριε τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν καὶ ἰδέτωσαν· καὶ διήνοιξε Κύριος τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν, καὶ εἶδου· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἦσαν ἐν μέσῳ Σαμαρείας. |
| 21 | And the king of Israel said to Eliseus, when he saw them: My father, shall I kill them? | Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰσραήλ πρὸς Ἑλισαιὲ, ὡς εἶδεν αὐτοὺς, εἰ πατάξας πατάξω, πάτερ; |
| 22 | And he said: Thou shalt not kill them: for thou didst not take them with thy sword, or thy bow, that thou mayst kill them: but set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master. | Καὶ εἶπεν, Οὐ πατάξεις, εἰ μὴ οὓς ᾐχμαλώτευσας ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ σου καὶ τόξῳ σου σὺ τύπτεις· παράθες ἄρτους καὶ ὕδωρ ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν, καὶ φαγέτωσαν καὶ πιέτωσαν, καὶ ἀπελθέτωσαν πρὸς τὸν κύριον αὐτῶν. |
| 23 | And a great provision of meats was set before them, and they ate and drank, and he let them go, and they went away to their master, and the robbers of Syria came no more into the land of Israel. | Καὶ παρέθηκεν αὐτοῖς παράθεσιν μεγάλην, καὶ ἔφαγον καὶ ἔπιον· καὶ ἀπέστειλεν αὐτοὺς, καὶ ἀπῆλθον πρὸς τὸν κύριον αὐτῶν· καὶ οὐ προσέθεντο ἔτι μονόζωνοι Συρίας τοῦ ἐλθεῖν εἰς γῆν Ἰσραήλ. |
| 24 | And it came to pass after these things, that Benadad king of Syria gathered together all his army, and went up, and besieged Samaria. | Καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ ταῦτα, καὶ ἤθροισεν υἱὸς Ἅδερ βασιλεὺς Συρίας πᾶσαν τὴν παρεμβολὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀνέβη, καὶ περιεκάθισαν ἐπὶ Σαμάρειαν. |
| 25 | And there was a great famine in Samaria: and so long did the siege continue, till the head of an ass was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cabe of pigeon’s dung, for five pieces of silver. | Καὶ ἐγένετο λιμὸς μέγας ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ· καὶ ἰδοὺ περιεκάθηντο ἐπʼ αὐτὴν ἕως οὗ ἐγενήθη κεφαλὴ ὄνου πεντήκοντα ἀργυρίου, καὶ τέταρτον τοῦ κάβου κόπρου περιστερῶν πέντε ἀργυρίου. |
| 26 | And as the king of Israel was passing by the wall, a certain woman cried out to him, saying: Save me, my lord O king. | Καὶ ἦν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ διαπορευόμενος ἐπὶ τοῦ τείχους· καὶ γυνὴ ἐβόησε πρὸς αὐτὸν, λέγουσα, Σῶσον κύριε βασιλεῦ. |
| 27 | And he said: If the Lord doth not save thee, how can I save thee? out of the barnfloor, or out of the winepress? And the king said to her: What aileth thee? And she answered: | Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ, μὴ σὲ σώσαι Κύριος, πόθεν σώσω σε; μὴ ἀπὸ ἅλωνος ἢ ἀπὸ ληνοῦ; |
| 28 | This woman said to me: Give thy son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow. | Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ ὁ βασιλεύς, τί ἐστι σοι; καὶ εἶπεν ἡ γυνή, αὕτη εἶπε πρὸς μέ, δὸς τὸν υἱόν σου καὶ φαγόμεθα αὐτὸν σήμερον, καὶ τὸν υἱόν μου φαγόμεθα αὐτὸν αὔριον. |
| 29 | So we boiled my son, and ate him. And I said to her on the next day: Give thy son that we may eat him. And she hath hid her son. | Καὶ ἡψήσαμεν τὸν υἱόν μου καὶ ἐφάγομεν αὐτὸν, καὶ εἶπον πρὸς αὐτὴν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ δευτέρᾳ, δὸς τὸν υἱόν σου καὶ φάγωμεν αὐτόν· καὶ ἔκρυψε τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς. |
| 30 | When the king heard this, he rent his garments, and passed by upon the wall. And all the people saw the haircloth which he wore within next to his flesh. | Καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἤκουσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ τοὺς λόγους τῆς γυναικὸς, διέῤῥηξε τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ, καὶ αὐτὸς διεπορεύετο ἐπὶ τοῦ τείχους, καὶ εἶδεν ὁ λαὸς τὸν σάκκον ἐπὶ τῆς σαρκὸς αὑτοῦ ἔσωθεν. |
| 31 | And the king said: May God do so and so to me, and may he add more, if the head of Eliseus the son of Saphat shall stand on him this day. | Καὶ εἶπε, τάδε ποιήσαι μοι ὁ Θεὸς καὶ τάδε προσθείη, εἰ στήσεται ἡ κεφαλὴ Ἑλισαιὲ ἐπʼ αὐτῷ σήμερον. |
| 32 | But Eliseus sat in his house, and the ancients sat with him. So he sent a man before: and before that messenger came, he said to the ancients: Do you know that this son of a murderer hath sent to cut off my head? Look then, when the messenger shall come, shut the door, and suffer him not to come in: for behold the sound of his master’s feet is behind him. | Καὶ Ἑλισαιὲ ἐκάθητο ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ, καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι ἐκάθηντο μετʼ αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἄνδρα πρὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ· πρὶν ἐλθεῖν τὸν ἄγγελον πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ αὐτὸς εἶπε πρὸς τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους, εἰ εἴδετε ὅτι ἀπέστειλεν ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ φονευτοῦ οὗτος ἀφελεῖν τὴν κεφαλήν μου; ἴδετε ὡς ἂν ἔλθῃ ὁ ἄγγελος, ἀποκλείσατε τὴν θύραν, καὶ παραθλίψατε αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ θύρᾳ· οὐχὶ φωνὴ τῶν ποδῶν τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ κατόπισθεν αὐτοῦ; |
| 33 | While he was yet speaking to them, the messenger appeared who was coming to him. And he said: Behold, so great an evil is from the Lord: what shall I look for more from the Lord? | Ἔτι αὐτοῦ λαλοῦντος μετʼ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἄγγελος κατέβη πρὸς αὐτὸν, καὶ εἶπεν, ἰδοὺ αὕτη ἡ κακία παρὰ Κυρίου· τί ὑπομείνω τῷ Κυρίῳ ἔτι; |
