[24b] And there was a man of mount Ephraim, a servant to Solomon, and his name was Jeroboam: and the name of his mother was Sarira, a harlot: and Solomon made him head of the levies of the house of Joseph: and he built for Solomon Sarira in mount Ephraim; and he had three hundred chariots of horses: he built the citadel with the levies of the house of Ephraim; he fortified the city of David, and aspired to the kingdom,
[24]γ καὶ ἐζήτει Σαλωμὼν θανατῶσαι αὐτόν, καὶ ἐφοβήθη καὶ ἀπέδρα αὐτὸς πρὸς Σουσακὶμ βασιλέα Αἰγύπτου καὶ ἦν μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἕως ἀπέθανε Σαλωμών.
[24c] And Solomon sought to kill him; and he was afraid, and escaped to Susakim king of Egypt, and was with him until Solomon died.
[24]δ καὶ ἤκουσεν Ἱεροβοὰμ ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ ὅτι τέθνηκε Σαλωμών, καὶ ἐλάλησεν εἰς τὰ ὦτα Σουσακὶμ βασιλέως Αἰγύπτου λέγων· ἐξαπόστειλόν με καὶ ἀπελεύσομαι ἐγὼ εἰς τὴν γῆν μου· καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Σουσακίμ· αἴτησαί τι αἴτημα καὶ δώσω σοι.
[24d] And Jeroboam heard in Egypt that Solomon was dead: and he spoke in the ears of Susakim king of Egypt, saying, Let me go, and I will depart into my land: and Susakim said to him, Ask and request, and I will grant it thee.
[24]ε καὶ Σουσακὶμ ἔδωκε τῷ Ἱεροβοὰμ τὴν Ἀνώ, ἀδελφὴν Θεκεμίνας τὴν πρεσβυτέραν τῆς γυναικὸς αὐτοῦ αὐτῷ εἰς γυναῖκα· αὕτη ἦν μεγάλη ἐν μέσῳ τῶν θυγατέρων τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ἔτεκε τῷ Ἱεροβοὰμ τὸν Ἀβιὰ υἱὸν αὐτοῦ.
[24e] And Susakim gave to Jeroboam Ano the eldest sister of Thekemina his wife: she was great among the daughters of the king, and she bore to Jerobaom Abia his son:
[24]ζ καὶ εἶπεν Ἱεροβοὰμ πρὸς Σουσακίμ· ὄντως ἐξαπόστειλόν με καὶ ἀπελεύσομαι. καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ἱεροβοὰμ ἐξ Αἰγύπτου καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς γῆν Σαριρὰ τὴν ἐν ὄρει Ἐφραίμ· καὶ συνάγεται ἐκεῖ πᾶν σκῆπτρον Ἐφραίμ· καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐκεῖ Ἱεροβοὰμ χάρακα.
[24f] and Jeroboam said to Susakim, Let me indeed go, and I will depart. And Jeroboam departed out of Egypt, and came into the land of Saria that was in mount Ephraim, and thither the whole in mount Ephraim, and thither the whole tribe of Ephraim assembles, and Jeroboam built a fortress there.
[24]η Καὶ ἠρώστησε τὸ παιδάριον αὐτοῦ ἀρρωστίαν κραταιὰν σφόδρα, καὶ ἐπορεύθη Ἱεροβοὰμ ἐρωτῆσαι περὶ τοῦ παιδαρίου· καὶ εἶπε πρὸς Ἀνὼ τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ· ἀνάστηθι καὶ πορεύου, ἐπερώτησον τὸν Θεὸν περὶ τοῦ παιδαρίου, εἰ ζήσεται ἐκ τῆς ἀρρωστίας αὐτοῦ.
[24g] And his young child was sick with a very severe sickness; and Jeroboam went to enquire concerning the child: and he said to Ano his wife, Arise, go, enquire of God concerning the child, whether he shall recover from his sickness.
[24]θ καὶ ἄνθρωπος ἦν ἐν Σηλὼμ καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ Ἀχιά, καὶ οὗτος ἦν υἱὸς ἑξήκοντα ἐτῶν, καὶ ρῆμα Κυρίου μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ. καὶ εἶπεν Ἱεροβοὰμ πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ· ἀνάστηθι καὶ λαβὲ εἰς τὴν χεῖρά σου τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἄρτους καὶ κολλύρια τοῖς τέκνοις αὐτοῦ καὶ σταφυλὴν καὶ στάμνον μέλιτος. καὶ ἀνέστη ἡ γυνὴ
[24h] Now there was a man in Selom, an his name was Achia: and he was sixty years old, and the word of the Lord was with him. And Jeroboam said to his wife, Arise, and take in thine hand loaves for the man of God, and cakes for his children, and grapes, and a pot of honey. And the woman arose,
[24]ι καὶ ἔλαβεν εἰς τὴν χεῖρα αὐτῆς ἄρτους καὶ δύο κολλύρια καὶ σταφυλὴν καὶ στάμνον μέλιτος τῷ Ἀχιά· καὶ ὁ ἄνθρωπος πρεσβύτερος, καὶ οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ ἠμβλυώπουν τοῦ ἰδεῖν,
[24i] and took in her hand bread, and two cakes, and grapes, and a pot of honey, for Achia: and the man was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see.
[24]κ καὶ ἀνέστη ἐκ Σαριρὰ καὶ πορεύεται, καὶ ἐγένετο ἐλθούσης αὐτῆς εἰς τὴν πόλιν πρὸς Ἀχιὰ τὸν Σηλωνίτην καὶ εἶπεν Ἀχιὰ τῷ παιδαρίῳ αὐτοῦ· ἔξελθε δὴ εἰς ἀπαντὴν Ἀνὼ τῇ γυναικὶ Ἱεροβοὰμ καὶ ἐρεῖς αὐτῇ· εἴσελθε καὶ μὴ στῇς, ὅτι τάδε λέγει Κύριος· σκληρὰ ἐγὼ ἐπαποστέλλω ἐπὶ σέ.
[24j] And she arose, up from Sarira and went; and it came to pass when she had come into the city to Achia the Selonite, that Achia said to his servant, Go out now to meet Ano the wife of Jeroboam, and thou shalt say to her, Come in, and stand not still: for thus saith the Lord, I send grievous tidings to thee.
[24]λ καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Ἀνὼ πρὸς τὸν ἄνθρωπον τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ Ἀχιά· ἱνατί ἐνήνοχάς μοι ἄρτους καὶ σταφυλὴν καὶ κολλύρια καὶ στάμνον μέλιτος; τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ἰδοὺ σὺ ἀπελεύσῃ ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ, καὶ ἔσται εἰσελθούσης σου τὴν πόλιν εἰς Σαριρὰ καὶ τὰ κοράσιά σου ἐξελεύσονταί σοι εἰς συνάντησιν καὶ ἐροῦσί σοι· τὸ παιδάριον τέθνηκεν.
[24k] And Ano went in to the man of God; and Achia said to her, Why hast thou brought me bread and grapes, and cakes, and a pot of honey? Thus saith the Lord, Behold, thou shalt depart from me, and it shall come to pass when thou hast entered into the city, even into Sarira, that thy maidens shall come out to meet thee, and shall say to thee, The child is dead:
[24]μ ὅτι τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐξολοθρεύσω τοῦ Ἱεροβοὰμ οὐροῦντα πρὸς τοῖχον, καὶ ἔσονται οἱ τεθνηκότες τοῦ Ἱεροβοὰμ ἐν τῇ πόλει καταφάγονται οἱ κύνες, καὶ τὸν τεθνηκότα ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ καταφάγεται τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ τὸ παιδάριον κόψονται· οὐαὶ Κύριε, ὅτι εὑρέθη ἐν αὐτῷ ρῆμα καλὸν περὶ τοῦ Κυρίου.
[24l] for thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will destroy every male of Jeroboam, and there shall be the dead of Jeroboam in the city, them the dogs shall eat, and him that eat, and he shall lament for the child, saying, Woe is me, Lord! For there has been found in him some good thing touching the Lord.
[24]ν καὶ ἀπῆλθεν ἡ γυνή, ὡς ἤκουσε, καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὴν Σαριρά, καὶ τὸ παιδάριον ἀπέθανε, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἡ κραυγὴ εἰς ἀπαντήν.
[24m] And the woman departed, when she heard this: and it came to pass as she entered into Sarira, that the child died; and there came forth a wailing to meet her.
[24]ξ Καὶ ἐπορεύθη Ἱεροβοὰμ εἰς Σίκιμα τὴν ἐν ὄρει Ἐφραὶμ καὶ συνήθροισεν ἐκεῖ τὰς φυλὰς τοῦ Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἀνέβη ἐκεῖ Ροβοὰμ υἱὸς Σαλωμών. καὶ λόγος Κυρίου ἐγένετο πρὸς Σαμαίαν τὸν Ἐλαμὶ λέγων· �
�αβὲ σεαυτῷ ἱμάτιον καινὸν τὸ οὐκ εἰσεληλυθὸς εἰς ὕδωρ καὶ ρῆξον αὐτὸ δώδεκα ρήγματα καὶ δώσεις τῷ Ἱεροβοὰμ καὶ ἐρεῖς αὐτῷ· τάδε λέγει Κύριος· λάβε σεαυτῷ δέκα ρήγματα τοῦ περιβαλέσθαι σε. καὶ ἔλαβεν Ἱεροβοάμ· καὶ εἶπε Σαμαίας· τάδε λέγει Κύριος ἐπὶ τὰς δέκα φυλὰς τοῦ Ἰσραήλ.
[24n] And Jeroboam went to Sikima in mount Ephraim, and assembled there the tribes of Israel; and Roboam the son of Solomon went up thither. And the word of the Lord came to Samaias son of Enlami, saying, Take to thyself a new garment which has not gone into the water, and rend it into twelve piees; and thou shalt five some to Jeroboam, and shalt say to him, thus saith the Lord, Take to thyself ten pieces to cover thee: and Jeroboam took them: and Samaias said, Thus saith the Lord concerning the ten tribes of Israel.
[24]ο Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ λαὸς πρὸς Ροβοὰμ υἱὸν Σαλωμών· ὁ πατήρ σου ἐβάρυνε τὸν κλοιὸν αὐτοῦ ἐφ᾿ ἡμᾶς καὶ ἐβάρυνε τὰ βρώματα τῆς τραπέζης αὐτοῦ· καὶ νῦν εἰ κουφιεῖς ἐφ᾿ ἡμᾶς καὶ δουλεύσομέν σοι. καὶ εἶπε Ροβοὰμ πρὸς τὸν λαόν· ἔτι τριῶν ἡμερῶν καὶ ἀποκριθήσομαι ὑμῖν ρῆμα.
[24o] And the people said to Roboam the son of Solomon, Thy father make his yoke heavy upon us, and made the meat of his table heavy; and now thou shalt lighten them upon us, and we will serve thee. And Roboam said to the people, Wait three days, and I will return you an answer:
[24]π καὶ εἶπε Ροβοάμ· εἰσαγάγετέ μοι τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους καὶ συμβουλεύσομαι μετ᾿ αὐτῶν τί ἀποκριθῶ τῷ λαῷ ρῆμα ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ. καὶ ἐλάλησε Ροβοὰμ εἰς τὰ ὦτα αὐτῶν καθὼς ἀπέστειλεν ὁ λαὸς πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπον οἱ πρεσβύτεροι τοῦ λαοῦ· οὕτως ἐλάλησε πρός σε ὁ λαός.
[24p] and Roboam said, Bring in to me the elders, and I will take counsel with them what I shall answer to the people on the third day, So Roboam spoke in their ears, as the people sent to him to say: and the elders of the people said, Thus the people have spoken to thee.
[24]ρ καὶ διεσκέδασε Ροβοὰμ τὴν βουλὴν αὐτῶν, καὶ οὐκ ἤρεσεν ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἀπέστειλε καὶ εἰσήγαγε τοὺς συντρόφους αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐλάλησεν αὐτοῖς· ταῦτα καὶ ταῦτα ἀπέσταλκεν ὁ λαὸς πρός με λέγων. καὶ εἶπαν οἱ σύντροφοι αὐτοῦ· οὕτως λαλήσεις πρὸς τὸν λαὸν λέγων· ἡ μικρότης μου παχυτέρα ὑπὲρ τὴν ὀσφὺν τοῦ πατρός μου· ὁ πατήρ μου ἐμαστίγου ὑμᾶς μάστιξιν, ἐγὼ δὲ κατάρξω ὑμᾶς ἐν σκορπίοις.
[24q] And Roboam rejected their counsel, and it pleased him not: and he sent and brought in thouse who had been brought up with him; and he said to them, Thus and thus has the people sent to me to say: and they that had been brought up with him said, Thus shalt thou speak to the people saying, My little finger shall be thicker than my father’s loins; my father scourged you with whips, but I will rule you with scorpions.
[24]σ καὶ ἤρεσε τὸ ρῆμα ἐνώπιον Ροβοάμ, καὶ ἀπεκρίθη τῷ λαῷ καθὼς συνεβούλευσαν αὐτῷ οἱ σύντροφοι αὐτοῦ τά παιδάρια.
[24r] And the saying pleased Roboam, and he answered the people as the young men, they that were brought up with him, counselled him:
[24]τ καὶ εἶπε πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ὡς ἀνὴρ εἷς, ἕκαστος τῷ πλησίον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀνέκραξαν ἅπαντες λέγοντες· οὐ μερὶς ἡμῖν ἐν Δαυὶδ οὐδὲ κληρονομία ἐν υἱῷ Ἰεσσαί· ἕκαστος εἰς τὰ σκηνώματά σου Ἰσραήλ, ὅτι ὁ ἄνθρωπος οὗτος οὐκ εἰς ἄρχοντα οὐδὲ εἰς ἡγούμενον.
[24s] and all the people spoke as one man, every one to his neighbor, and they cried out all together, saying, We have no part in David, nor inheritance in the son of Jessae: to they tents, O Israel, every one; for this man is not for a prince or a ruler over us.
[24]υ καὶ διεσπάρη πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἐκ Σικίμων, καὶ ἀπῆλθον ἕκαστος εἰς τὸ σκήνωμα αὐτοῦ. καὶ κατεκράτησε Ροβοὰμ καὶ ἀπῆλθε καὶ ἀνέβη ἐπὶ τὸ ἅρμα αὐτοῦ καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ, καὶ πορεύονται ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ πᾶν σκῆπτρον Ἰούδα καὶ πᾶν σκῆπτρον Βενιαμίν.
[24t] And all the people was dispersed from Sikima, and they departed every one to his tent: and Roboam strengthened him self and departed, and mounted his chariot, and entered into Jerusalem: and there follow him the whole tribe of Juda, and the whole tribe of Benjamin.
[24]φ καὶ ἐγένετο ἐνισταμένου τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ καὶ συνήθροισε Ροβοὰμ πάντα ἄνδρα Ἰούδα καὶ Βενιαμὶν καὶ ἀνέβη τοῦ πολεμεῖν πρὸς Ἱεροβοὰμ εἰς Σίκιμα.
[24u] And it came to pass at the beginning of the year, that Roboam gathered all the men of Juda and Benjamin, and went up to fight with Jeroboam at Sikima.
[24]χ καὶ ἐγένετο ρῆμα Κυρίου πρὸς Σαμαίαν ἄνθρωπον τοῦ Θεοῦ λέγων· εἰπὸν τῷ Ροβοὰμ βασιλεῖ Ἰούδα καὶ πρὸς πάντα οἶκον Ἰούδα καὶ Βενιαμὶν καὶ πρὸς τὸ κατάλειμμα τοῦ λαοῦ λέγων· τάδε λέγει Κύριος· οὐκ ἀναβήσεσθε οὐδὲ πολεμήσετε πρὸς τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς ὑμῶν υἱοὺς Ἰσραήλ· ἀναστρέφετε ἕκαστος εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ, ὅτι παρ᾿ ἐμοῦ γέγονε τὸ ρῆμα τοῦτο.
[24v] And the word of the Lord came to Sameas the man of God, saying, Speak to Roboam king of Juda, and to all the house of Juda and Benjamin, and to the remnant of the people, saying, Thus saith the Lord, Ye shall not go up, neither shall ye fight with your brethren the sons of Israel: return every man to his house, for this thing is from me.
[24]ψ καὶ ἤκουσαν τοῦ λόγου Κυρίου καὶ ἀνέσχον μὴ πορευθῆναι κατὰ τὸ ρῆμα Κυρίου.
[24w] And they hearkened to the word of the Lord, and forbore to go up, according to the word of the Lord.
[25] Καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν Ἱεροβοὰμ τὴν Σίκιμα τὴν ἐν ὄρει Ἐφραὶμ καὶ κατῴκει ἐν αὐτῇ· καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἐκεῖθεν καὶ ᾠκοδόμησε τὴν Φανουήλ.
[25] And Jeroboam built Sikima in mount Ephraim and dwelt in it, and went forth thence and built Phanuel.
[26] καὶ εἶπεν Ἱεροβοὰμ ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ· ἰδοὺ νῦν ἐπιστρέψει ἡ βασιλεία εἰς οἶκον Δαυίδ·
[26] And Jeroboam said in his heart, Behold, now the kingdom will return to the house of David.
[27] ἐὰν ἀναβῇ ὁ λαὸς οὗτος ἀναφέρειν θυσίαν ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ, καὶ ἐπιστραφήσεται καρδία τοῦ λαοῦ πρὸς Κύριον καὶ κύριον αὐτῶν, πρὸς Ροβοὰμ βασιλέα Ἰούδα, καὶ ἀποκτενοῦσί με.
[27] If this people shall go up to offer sacrifice in the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, the
n the heart of the people will return to the Lord, and to their master, to Roboam king of Juda, and they will slay me.
[28] καὶ ἐβουλεύσατο ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ ἐπορεύθη καὶ ἐποίησε δύο δαμάλεις χρυσᾶς· καὶ εἶπε πρὸς τὸν λαόν· ἱκανούσθω ὑμῖν ἀναβαίνειν εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ· ἰδοὺ θεοί σου, Ἰσραήλ, οἱ ἀναγαγόντες σε ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου.
[28] And the king took counsel, and went, and made two golden heifers, and said to the people, Let it suffice you to have gone hitherto to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
[29] καὶ ἔθετο τὴν μίαν ἐν Βαιθὴλ καὶ τὴν μίαν ἔδωκεν ἐν Δάν.
[29] And he put one in Bethel, and he put the other in Dan.
[30] καὶ ἐγένετο ὁ λόγος οὗτος εἰς ἁμαρτίαν· καὶ ἐπορεύετο ὁ λαὸς πρὸ προσώπου τῆς μιᾶς ἕως Δάν. καὶ εἴασαν τὸν οἶκον Κυρίου.
[30] And this thing became a sin; and the people went before one as far as Dan, and left the house of the Lord.
[31] καὶ ἐποίησεν οἴκους ἐφ᾿ ὑψηλῶν καὶ ἐποίησεν ἱερεῖς μέρος τι ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ, οἳ οὐκ ἦσαν ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν Λευί.
[31] And he made houses on the high places, and made priests of any part of the people, who were not of the sons of Levi.
[32] καὶ ἐποίησεν Ἱεροβοὰμ ἑορτὴν ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ ὀγδόῳ ἐν τῇ πεντεκαιδεκάτῃ ἡμέρᾳ τοῦ μηνὸς κατὰ τὴν ἑορτὴν τὴν ἐν γῇ Ἰούδα καὶ ἀνέβη ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον, ὃ ἐποίησεν ἐν Βαιθήλ, τοῦ θύειν ταῖς δαμάλεσιν, αἷς ἐποίησε, καὶ παρέστησεν ἐν Βαιθὴλ τοὺς ἱερεῖς τῶν ὑψηλῶν, ὧν ἐποίησε.
