Chapter 13

Καὶ ἰδοὺ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ θεοῦ ἐξ Ἰούδα παρεγένετο ἐν λόγῳ κθρίου εἰς Βαιθήλ, καὶ Ἰεροβοὰμ εἱστήκει ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον ἐπιθῦσαι.

καὶ ἐπεκάλεσεν πρὸς τὸ θυσιαστήριον ἐν λόγῳ Κυρίου θυσιαστήριον, θυσιαστήριον, τάδε λέηει Κύριος Ἰδοὺ υἱὸς τίκτεται τῷ οἴκῳ Δαυείδ, Ἰωσείας ὄνομα αὐτῷ, καὶ θύσει ἐπὶ σὲ τοὺς ἱερεῖς τῶν ὑψηλῶν τῶν ἐπιθυόντων ἐπὶ σέ, καὶ ὀστᾶ ἀνθρώπων καύσει ἐπὶ σέ·

καὶ δώσει ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ τέρας, λέγων Τοῦτο τὸ ῥῆμα ὃ ἐλάλησεν Κύριος λέγων Ἰδοὺ τὸ θυσιαστήριον ῥήγνυται, καὶ ἐκχυθήσεται ἡ πιότης ἡ ἐπ’ αὐτῷ.

καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἤκουσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰεροβοὰμ τῶν λόγων τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ ἐπικαλεσαμένου ἐπὶ τὸ θυσια- στήριον τὸ ἐν Βαιθήλ, καὶ ἐξέτεινεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου λέγων Συλλάβετε αὐτόν· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐξγράνθη ἡ χεὶρ αὐτοῦ ἣν ἐξέτεινεν ἐπ’ αὐτόν, καὶ οὐκ ἠδυνηθη ἐπιστρέψαι αὐτὴν πρὸς αὐτόν.

καὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον ἐρράγη, καὶ ἐξεχύθη ἡ πιότης ἀπὸ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου κατὰ τὸ τέρας ὃ ἔδνκεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν λόηῳ Κυρίου.

καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰεροβοὰμ τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τοῦ θεοῦ Δεήθητι τοῦ θεοῦ σου, καὶ ἐπιστρεψάτω ἡ χείρ μου πρὸς

μέ. καὶ ἐδεήθη ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ προσώπου Κυρίου, καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν τὴν χεῖρα τοῦ βασιλέως πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ ἐλένετο καθὼς τὸ πρότερον.

καὶ ἐλάλησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸν ἄνθρωπον τοῦ θεοῦ Εἴσελθε μετ’ ἐμοῦ εἰς οἶκον καὶ ἀρίστησον, καὶ κώσω σοι δόμα.

καὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ θεοῦ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Ἐάν μοι δῷς τὸ ἥμισυ τοῦ οἴκου σου, οὐκ εἰσελεύσομαι μετὰ σοῦ, οὐδὲ μὴ Φάγω ἄρτον οὐδὲ μὴ πίω ὕδωρ ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ.

ὅτι οὕτως ἐνετείλατό μοι ἐν λόγῳ Κύριος λέγων Μὴ Φάγῃς ἄρτον καὶ μὴ πίῃς ὕδωρ καὶ μὴ ἐπιστρέψῃς ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ ᾗ ἐπορεύθης ἐν αὐτῇ.

καὶ ἀπῆλθεν ἐν ὁδῷ ἄλλῃ, καὶ οὐκ ἀνέστρεψεν ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ ᾗ ἦλθεν ἐν αὐτῇ εἰς Βαιθήλ.

Καὶ πρεσβύτης εἷς προφήτης κατῴκει εἰς Βαιθήλ, καὶ ἔρχονται οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ διηγήσαντο αὐτῷ ἅπαντα τὰ ἔργα ἃ ἐποίησεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐν Βαιθήλ, τοὺς λόγους οὓς ἐλάλησεν τῷ βασιλεῖ· καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν τὸ πρόσωπον τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῶν.

καὶ ἐλάλησεν πρὸς αὐτοὺς ὁ πατὴρ αὐτῶν λέγων Ποίᾳ ὁδῷ πεπόρευται; καὶ δεικνύουσιν αὐτῷ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ τὴν ὁδὸν ἐν ᾗ ἀνῆλθεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ θεοῦ ὁ ἐλθὼν ἐξ Ἰούδα.

καὶ εἶπεν τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ Ἐπισάξατέ μοι τὸν ὄνον· καὶ ἐπέσαξαν αὐτῷ τὸν ὄνον, καὶ ἐπέβη ἐπ’ αὐτόν.

καὶ ἐπορεύθη κατόπισθεν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τοῦ θεοῦ, καὶ εὗρεν αὐτὸν καθήμενον ὑπὸ δρῦν καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Εἰ σὺ εἶ ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ θεοῦ ὁ ἐληλυθὼς ἐξ Ἰούδα; καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ἐγώ.

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Δεῦρο μετ’ ἐμοῦ καὶ Φάγε ἄρτον.

καὶ εἶπεν Οὐ μὴ δύνωμαι τοῦ ἐπιτῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ.

ὅτι οὕτως ἐντέταλταί μοι ἐν λόγῳ Κύριος λέγων Μὴ Φάγῃς ἄρτον ἐκεῖ καὶ μὴ πίῃς ὕδωρ, καὶ μὴ πίῃς ὕδωρ, καὶ μὴ ἐπιστρέψῃς ἐκεῖ ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ ᾗ ἐπορεύθης ἐν αὐτῇ.

καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτόν Κἀγὼ προφήτης εἰμὶ καθὼς σύ, καὶ ἄγγελος λελάληκεν πρὸς μὲ ἐν ῥήματι Κυρίου λέγων Ἐπίστρεψον αὐτὸν πρὸς σεαυτὸν εἰς τὸν οἶκόν σου, καὶ Φαγέτω ἄρτον καὶ πιέτω ὕδωρ· καὶ ἐψεύσατο αὐτῷ.

καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν αὐτόν, καὶ ἔφαγεν ἄρτον ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔπιεν

ὕδωρ.

καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτῶν καθημένων, καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς τὸν προφήτην τὸν ἐπιστρέψαντα αὐτόν·

καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς τὸν ἄνθρωπον τοῦ θεοῦ τὸν ἥκοντα ἐξ Ἰούδα λέγων Τάδε λέγει Κύριος Ἀνθ’ ὧν παρεπίκρανας τὸ ῥῆμα Κυρίου, καὶ οὐκ ἐφύλαξας τὴν ἐντολὴν ἣν ἐνετείλατό σοι Κύριος ὁ θεός σου,

καὶ ἐπέστρεψας, καὶ ἔφαγες ἄρτον καὶ ἔπιες ὕδωρ ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ ᾧ ἐλάλησεν πρὸς σὲ λέγων Οὐ μὴ φάγῃς ἄρτον καὶ μὴ πίῃς ὕδωρ· οὐ μὴ εἰσέλθῃ τὸ σῶμά σου εἰς τὸν τάφον τῶν πατέρων σου.

καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ τὸ φαγεῖν ἄρτον καὶ πιεῖν ὕδωρ, καὶ εὗρεω αὐτὸν λέων ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν καὶ ἀπῆλθεν.

καὶ εὗρεν αὐτὸν λέων ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ καὶ ἐθανάτωσεν αὐτόν· καὶ ἦν τὸ σῶμα αὐτοῦ ἐρριμμένον ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ, καὶ ὁ ὄνος εἱστήκει παρ’ αὐτό, καὶ ὁ λέων εἱστήκει παρὰ τὸ σῶμα.

καὶ ἰδοὺ ἄνδρες παραπορευόμενοι καὶ εἶδον τὸ θνησιμαῖον ἐρριμμένον ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ, καὶ ὁ λέων εἱστήκει ἐχόμενα τοῦ θνησιμαίου· καὶ εἰσῆλθον καὶ ἐλάλησαν ἐν τῇ πόλει οὗ ὁ προφήτης ὁ πρεσβύτης κατῴκει ἐν αὐτῇ.

καὶ ἤκουσεν ὁ ἐπιστρέψας αὐτὸν ἐκ τῆς ὁδοῦ, καὶ εἶπεν Ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ θεοῦ οὗτός ἐστιν ὃς παρεπίκρανε τὸ ῥῆμα Κυρίου.

καὶ ἐπορεύθη καὶ εὗρεν τὸ σῶμα αὐτοῦ ἐρριμμένον ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ, καὶ ὁ ὄνος καὶ ὁ λέων εἱστήκεισαν παρὰ τὸ σῶμα, καὶ οὐκ ἔφαγεν ὁ λέων τὸ σῶμα τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τοῦ θεοῦ, καὶ οὐ συνέτριψεν τὸν ὄνον.

καὶ ἦρεν ὁ προφήτης τὸ σῶμα τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ἐπέθηκεν αὐτὸ ἐπὶ τὸν ὄνον, καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν αὐτὸν εἰς τὴν πόλιν

ὁ προφήτης τοῦ θάψαι αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ τάφῳ ἑαυτοῦ· καὶ ἐκόψαντο αὐτόν Οὐαὶ ἀδελφέ.

καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ τὸ κόψασθαι αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπεν τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ λέγων Ἐὰν ἀποθάνω, θάψατέ με ἐν τῷ τάφῳ τούτῳ οὗ ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ θεοῦ τέθαπται ἐν αὐτῷ· παρὰ τὰ ὀστᾶ αὐτοῦ θέτε με, ἵνα σωθῶσι τὰ ὀστᾶ μοῦ μετὰ τῶν ὀστῶν αὐτοῦ.

ὅτι γινόμενον ἔσται τὸ ῥῆμα ὃ ἐλάλησεν ἐν λόγῳ Κυρίου ἐπὶ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου ἐν Βαιθὴλ

καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς οἴκους τοὺς ὐψηλοὺς τοὺς ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ.

Καὶ μετὰ τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο οὐκ ἐπέστρψεν Ἰεροβοὰμ ἀπὸ τῆς κακίας αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν καὶ ἐποίησεν ἐκ μέρους τοῦ λαοῦ ἱερεῖς ὑψηλῶν· ὁ βουλόμενος, ἐπλήρου τὴν χεῖρα τοξῦτο ἱερεὺς εἰς τὰ ὑψηλά.

καὶ ἐγένετο τὸ ῤῆμα τοῦτο εἰς ἀμαρτίαν τῷ οἴκῳ Ἰεροβοὰμ καὶ εἰς ὄλεθρον καὶ εἰς ἀφανισμὸν ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς γῆς.
