2 Chronicles 29

DOUAI-RHEIMS	LXX
1 Now Ezechias began to reign, when he was five and twenty years old, and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Abia, the daughter of Zacharias.	1 και εζεκιας εβασιλευσεν ων εικοσι και πεντε ετων και εικοσι και εννεα ετη εβασιλευσεν εν ιερουσαλημ και ονομα τη μητρι αυτου αββα θυγατηρ ζαχαρια
2 And he did that which was pleasing in the sight of the Lord, according to all that David his father had done.	2 και εποιησεν το ευθες ενωπιον κυριου κατα παντα οσα εποιησεν δαυιδ ο πατηρ αυτου
3 In the first year and month of his reign he opened the doors of the house of the Lord, and repaired them.	3 και εγενετο ως εστη επι της βασιλειας αυτου εν τω πρωτω μηνι ανεωξεν τας θυρας οικου κυριου και επεσκευασεν αυτας
4 And he brought the priests and the Levites, and assembled them in the east street.	4 και εισηγαγεν τους ιερεις και τους λευιτας και κατεστησεν αυτους εις το κλιτος το προς ανατολας
5 And he said to them: Hear me, ye Levites, and be sanctified, purify the house of the Lord the God of your fathers, and take away all filth out of the sanctuary.	5 και ειπεν αυτοις ακουσατε οι λευιται νυν αγνισθητε και αγνισατε τον οικον κυριου θεου των πατερων υμων και εκβαλετε την ακαθαρσιαν εκ των αγιων
6 Our fathers have sinned and done evil in the sight of the Lord God, forsaking him: they have turned away their faces from the tabernacle of the Lord, and turned their backs.	6 οτι απεστησαν οι πατερες ημων και εποιησαν το πονηρον εναντιον κυριου και εγκατελιπαν αυτον και απεστρεψαν το προσωπον απο της σκηνης κυριου και εδωκαν αυχενα
7 They have shut up the doors that were in tile porch, and put out the lamps. and have not burnt incense, nor offered holocausts in the sanctuary of the God of Israel.	7 και απεκλεισαν τας θυρας του ναου και εσβεσαν τους λυχνους και θυμιαμα ουκ εθυμιασαν και ολοκαυτωματα ου προσηνεγκαν εν τω αγιω θεω ισραηλ
8 Therefore the wrath of the Lord hath been stirred up against Juda and Jerusalem, and he hath delivered them to trouble, and to destruction, and to be hissed at, as you see with your eyes.	8 και ωργισθη οργη κυριος επι τον ιουδαν και επι την ιερουσαλημ και εδωκεν αυτους εις εκστασιν και εις αφανισμον και εις συρισμον ως υμεις ορατε τοις οφθαλμοις υμων
9 Behold, our fathers are fallen by the sword, our sons, and our daughters, and wives are led away captives for this wickedness.	9 και ιδου πεπληγασιν οι πατερες υμων μαχαιρα και οι υιοι υμων και αι θυγατερες υμων και αι γυναικες υμων εν αιχμαλωσια εν γη ουκ αυτων ο και νυν εστιν
10 Now therefore I have a mind that we make a covenant with the Lord the God of Israel, and he will turn away the wrath of his indignation from us.	10 επι τουτοις νυν εστιν επι καρδιας διαθεσθαι διαθηκην κυριου θεου ισραηλ και αποστρεψει την οργην θυμου αυτου αφ' ημων
11 My sons, be not negligent: the Lord hath chosen you to stand before him, and to minister to him, and to worship him, and to burn incense to him.	11 και νυν μη διαλιπητε οτι εν υμιν ηρετικεν κυριος στηναι εναντιον αυτου λειτουργειν και ειναι αυτω λειτουργουντας και θυμιωντας
12 Then the Levites arose, Mahath the son of Amasai, and Joel the son of Azarias, of the sons of Caath: and of the sons of Merari, Cis the son of Abdi, and Azarias the son of Jalaleel. And of the sons of Gerson, Joah the son of Zemma, and Eden the son of Joah.	12 και ανεστησαν οι λευιται μααθ ο του αμασι και ιωηλ ο του αζαριου εκ των υιων κααθ και εκ των υιων μεραρι κις ο του αβδι και αζαριας ο του ιαλλεληλ και απο των υιων γεδσωνι ιωα ο του ζεμμαθ και ιωδαν ο του ιωαχα
13 And of the sons of Elisaphan, Samri, and Jahiel. Also of the sons of Asaph, Zacharias, and Mathanias.	13 και των υιων ελισαφαν σαμβρι και ιιηλ και των υιων ασαφ ζαχαριας και μαθθανιας
14 And of the sons of Heman, Jahiel, and Semei: and of the sons of Idithun, Semeias, and Oziel.	14 και των υιων αιμαν ιιηλ και σεμει και των υιων ιδιθων σαμαιας και οζιηλ
15 And they gathered together their brethren, and sanctified themselves, and went in according to the commandment of the king, and the precept of the Lord, to purify the house of God.	15 και συνηγαγον τους αδελφους αυτων και ηγνισθησαν κατα την εντολην του βασιλεως δια προσταγματος κυριου καθαρισαι τον οικον κυριου
16 And the priests went into the temple of the Lord to sanctify it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found within to the entrance of the house of the Lord, and the Levites took it away, and carried it out abroad to the torrent Cedron.	16 και εισηλθον οι ιερεις εσω εις τον οικον κυριου αγνισαι και εξεβαλον πασαν την ακαθαρσιαν την ευρεθεισαν εν τω οικω κυριου και εις την αυλην οικου κυριου και εδεξαντο οι λευιται εκβαλειν εις τον χειμαρρουν κεδρων εξω
17 And they began to cleanse on the first day of the first month, and on the eighth day of the same month they came into the porch of the temple of the Lord, and they purified the temple in eight days, and on the sixteenth day of the same month they finished what they had begun.	17 και ηρξαντο τη ημερα τη πρωτη νουμηνια του μηνος του πρωτου αγνισαι και τη ημερα τη ογδοη του μηνος εισηλθαν εις τον ναον κυριου και ηγνισαν τον οικον κυριου εν ημεραις οκτω και τη ημερα τη εκκαιδεκατη του μηνος του πρωτου συνετελεσαν
18 And they went is to king Ezechias, and said to him: We have sanctified all the house of the Lord, and the altar of holocaust, and the vessels thereof, and the table of proposition with all its vessels,	18 και εισηλθαν εσω προς εζεκιαν τον βασιλεα και ειπαν ηγνισαμεν παντα τα εν οικω κυριου το θυσιαστηριον της ολοκαυτωσεως και τα σκευη αυτου και την τραπεζαν της προθεσεως και τα σκευη αυτης
19 And all the furniture of the temple, which king Achaz in his reign had defiled, after his transgression; and behold they are all set forth before the altar of the Lord.	19 και παντα τα σκευη α εμιανεν αχαζ ο βασιλευς εν τη βασιλεια αυτου εν τη αποστασια αυτου ητοιμακαμεν και ηγνικαμεν ιδου εστιν εναντιον του θυσιαστηριου κυριου
20 And king Ezechias rising early, assembled all the rulers of the city, and went up into the house of the Lord:	20 και ωρθρισεν εζεκιας ο βασιλευς και συνηγαγεν τους αρχοντας της πολεως και ανεβη εις οικον κυριου
21 And they offered together seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven he goats for sin, for the kingdom, for the sanctuary, for Juda: and he spoke to the priests the sons of Aaron, to offer them upon the altar of the Lord.	21 και ανηνεγκεν μοσχους επτα κριους επτα αμνους επτα χιμαρους αιγων επτα περι αμαρτιας περι της βασιλειας και περι των αγιων και περι ισραηλ και ειπεν τοις υιοις ααρων τοις ιερευσιν αναβαινειν επι το θυσιαστηριον κυριου
22 Therefore they killed the bullocks, and the priests took the blood, and poured it upon the altar; they killed also the rams, and their blood they poured also upon the altar, and they killed the lambs, and poured the blood upon the altar.	22 και εθυσαν τους μοσχους και εδεξαντο οι ιερεις το αιμα και προσεχεον επι το θυσιαστηριον και εθυσαν τους κριους και προσεχεον το αιμα επι το θυσιαστηριον και εθυσαν τους αμνους και περιεχεον το αιμα τω θυσιαστηριω
23 And they brought the he goats for sin before the king, and the whole multitude, and they laid their hand upon them:	23 και προσηγαγον τους χιμαρους τους περι αμαρτιας εναντιον του βασιλεως και της εκκλησιας και επεθηκαν τας χειρας αυτων επ' αυτους
24 And the priests immolated them, and sprinkled their blood before the altar for an expiation of all Israel: for the king had commanded that the holocaust and the sin offering should be made for all Israel.	24 και εθυσαν αυτους οι ιερεις και εξιλασαντο το αιμα αυτων προς το θυσιαστηριον και εξιλασαντο περι παντος ισραηλ οτι περι παντος ισραηλ ειπεν ο βασιλευς η ολοκαυτωσις και τα περι αμαρτιας
25 And he set the Levites in the house of the Lord with cymbals, and psalteries, and harps according to the regulation of David the king, and of Gad the seer, and of Nathan the prophet: for it was the commandment of the Lord by the hand of his prophets.	25 και εστησεν τους λευιτας εν οικω κυριου εν κυμβαλοις και εν ναβλαις και εν κινυραις κατα την εντολην δαυιδ του βασιλεως και γαδ του ορωντος τω βασιλει και ναθαν του προφητου οτι δι' εντολης κυριου το προσταγμα εν χειρι των προφητων
26 And the Levites stood, with the instruments of David, and the priests with trumpets.	26 και εστησαν οι λευιται εν οργανοις δαυιδ και οι ιερεις ταις σαλπιγξιν
27 And Ezechias commanded that they should offer holocausts upon the altar: and when the holocausts were offered, they began to sing praises to the Lord, and to sound with trumpets, and divers instruments which David the king of Israel had prepared.	27 και ειπεν εζεκιας ανενεγκαι την ολοκαυτωσιν επι το θυσιαστηριον και εν τω αρξασθαι αναφερειν την ολοκαυτωσιν ηρξαντο αδειν κυριω και αι σαλπιγγες προς τα οργανα δαυιδ βασιλεως ισραηλ
28 And all the multitude adored, and the singers, and the trumpeters, were in their office till the holocaust was finished.	28 και πασα η εκκλησια προσεκυνει και οι ψαλτωδοι αδοντες και αι σαλπιγγες σαλπιζουσαι εως ου συνετελεσθη η ολοκαυτωσις
29 And when the oblation was ended, the king, and all that were with him bowed down and adored.	29 και ως συνετελεσαν αναφεροντες εκαμψεν ο βασιλευς και παντες οι ευρεθεντες και προσεκυνησαν
30 And Ezechias and the princes commanded the Levites to praise the Lord with the words of David, and Asaph the seer: and they praised him with great joy, and bowing the knee adored.	30 και ειπεν εζεκιας ο βασιλευς και οι αρχοντες τοις λευιταις υμνειν τον κυριον εν λογοις δαυιδ και ασαφ του προφητου και υμνουν εν ευφροσυνη και επεσον και προσεκυνησαν
31 And Ezechias added, and said: You have filled your hands to the Lord, come and offer victims, and praises in the house of the Lord. And all the multitude offered victims, and praises, and holocausts with a devout mind.	31 και απεκριθη εζεκιας και ειπεν νυν επληρωσατε τας χειρας υμων κυριω προσαγαγετε και φερετε θυσιας και αινεσεως εις οικον κυριου και ανηνεγκεν η εκκλησια θυσιας και αινεσεως εις οικον κυριου και πας προθυμος τη καρδια ολοκαυτωσεις
32 And the number of the holocausts which the multitude offered, was seventy bullocks, a hundred rams, and two hundred lambs.	32 και εγενετο ο αριθμος της ολοκαυτωσεως ης ανηνεγκεν η εκκλησια μοσχοι εβδομηκοντα κριοι εκατον αμνοι διακοσιοι εις ολοκαυτωσιν κυριω παντα ταυτα
33 And they consecrated to the Lord six hundred oxen, and three thousand sheep.	33 και οι ηγιασμενοι μοσχοι εξακοσιοι προβατα τρισχιλια
34 But the priests were few, and were not enough to flay the holocausts: wherefore the Levites their brethren helped them, till the work was ended, and priests were sanctified, for the Levites are sanctified with an easier rite than the priests.	34 αλλ' η οι ιερεις ολιγοι ησαν και ουκ εδυναντο δειραι την ολοκαυτωσιν και αντελαβοντο αυτων οι αδελφοι αυτων οι λευιται εως ου συνετελεσθη το εργον και εως ου ηγνισθησαν οι ιερεις οτι οι λευιται προθυμως ηγνισθησαν παρα τους ιερεις
35 So there were many holocausts, and the fat of peace offerings, and the libations of holocausts: and the service of the house of the Lord was completed.	35 και η ολοκαυτωσις πολλη εν τοις στεασιν της τελειωσεως του σωτηριου και των σπονδων της ολοκαυτωσεως και κατωρθωθη το εργον εν οικω κυριου
36 And Ezechias, and all the people rejoiced because the ministry of the Lord was accomplished. For the resolution of doing this thing was taken suddenly.	36 και ηυφρανθη εζεκιας και πας ο λαος δια το ητοιμακεναι τον θεον τω λαω οτι εξαπινα εγενετο ο λογος
