2 Chronicles 31

DOUAI-RHEIMS	GREEK BIBLE
1 And when these things had been duly celebrated, all Israel that were found in the cities of Juda, went out, and they broke the idols, and cut down the groves. demolished the high places, and destroyed the altars, not only out of all Juda and Benjamin, but out of Ephraim also and Manasses, till they had utterly destroyed them: then all the children of Israel returned to their possessions and cities.	1 Αφου δε συνετελεσθησαν παντα ταυτα, πας ο Ισραηλ οι ευρεθεντες εξηλθον εις τας πολεις του Ιουδα και συνετριψαν τα αγαλματα και κατεκοψαν τα αλση και εκρημνισαν τους υψηλους τοπους και τα θυσιαστηρια απο παντος του Ιουδα και Βενιαμιν? το αυτο εκαμον και εις τον Εφραιμ και Μανασση, εωσου συνετελεσαν. Τοτε επεστρεψαν παντες οι υιοι Ισραηλ, εκαστος εις την ιδιοκτησιαν αυτου, εις τας εαυτων πολεις.
2 And Ezechias appointed companies of the priests, and the Levites, by their courses, every man in his own office, to wit, both of the priests, and of the Levites, for holocausts, and for peace offerings, to minister, and to praise, and to sing in the gates of the camp of the Lord.	2 Και διεταξεν ο Εζεκιας τας διαιρεσεις των ιερεων και των Λευιτων, κατα τας διαιρεσεις αυτων, εκαστον κατα την υπηρεσιαν αυτου, τους ιερεις και τους Λευιτας, δια τα ολοκαυτωματα και τας ειρηνικας προσφορας, δια να λειτουργωσι και να δοξολογωσι και να υμνωσιν εν ταις πυλαις των σκηνωματων του Κυριου.
3 And the king's part was, that of his proper substance the holocaust should be offered always morning and evening, and on the sabbaths, and the new moons and the other solemnities, as it is written in the law of Moses.	3 Διεταξε και το μεριδιον του βασιλεως εκ των υπαρχοντων αυτου, δια τας ολοκαυτωσεις, δια τας πρωινας και εσπερινας ολοκαυτωσεις και δια τας ολοκαυτωσεις των σαββατων και των νεομηνιων και των επισημων εορτων, κατα το γεγραμμενον εν τω νομω του Κυριου.
4 He commanded also the people that dwelt in Jerusalem, to give to the priests, and the Levites their portion, that they might attend to the law of the Lord.	4 Ειπεν ετι προς τον λαον τον κατοικουντα εν Ιερουσαλημ, να διδη την μεριδα των ιερεων και Λευιτων, δια να ενισχυωνται εν τω νομω του Κυριου.
5 Which when it was noised abroad in the ears of the people, the children of Israel offered in abundance the firstfruits of corn, wine, and oil, and honey: and brought the tithe of all things which the ground bringeth forth.	5 Και καθως εξεδοθη ο λογος, οι υιοι Ισραηλ εφεραν εν αφθονια απαρχας σιτου, οινου και ελαιου και μελιτος και παντων των γεννηματων του αγρου? εφεραν ετι εν αφθονια τα δεκατα παντος πραγματος.
6 Moreover the children of Israel and Juda, that dwelt in the cities of Juda, brought in the tithes of oxen, and sheep, and the tithes of holy things, which they had vowed to the Lord their God: and carrying them all, made many heaps.	6 Και οι υιοι Ισραηλ και Ιουδα, οι κατοικουντες εν τους πολεσιν Ιουδα, και αυτοι εφεραν τα δεκατα βοων και προβατων και τα δεκατα των αγιων πραγματων των αφιερουμενων εις Κυριον τον Θεον αυτων, και εθεσαν κατα σωρους.
7 In the third month they began to lay the foundations of the heaps, and in the seventh month, they finished them.	7 Εν τω τριτω μηνι ηρχισαν να καμνωσι τους σωρους και εν τω εβδομω μηνι ετελειωσαν.
8 And when Ezechias and his princes came in, they saw the heaps, and they blessed the Lord and the people of Israel.	8 και οτε ηλθον ο Εζεκιας και οι αρχοντες και ειδον τους σωρους, ηυλογησαν τον Κυριον και τον λαον αυτου τον Ισραηλ.
9 And Ezechias asked the priests and the Levites, why the heaps lay so.	9 Επειτα ηρωτησεν ο Εζεκιας τους ιερεις και τους Λευιτας περι των σωρων.
10 Azarias the chief priest of the race of Sadoc answered him, saying: Since the firstfruits began to be offered in the house of the Lord, we have eaten, and have been filled, and abundance is left, because the Lord hath blessed his people: and of that which is left is this great store which thou seest.	10 Και απεκριθη προς αυτον Αζαριας, ο πρωτος ιερευς, εκ του οικου Σαδωκ, και ειπεν, Αφου ηρχισαν να φερωσι τας προσφορας εις τον οικον του Κυριου, εφαγομεν εις χορτασμον, και επερισσευσε πληθος? διοτι ο Κυριος ηυλογησε τον λαον αυτου? και το εναπολειφθεν ειναι η μεγαλη αυτη αφθονια.
11 Then Ezechias commanded to prepare storehouses in the house of the Lord. And when they had done so,	11 Τοτε ειπεν ο Εζεκιας να ετοιμασωσι ταμεια εκ τω οικω του Κυριου? και ητοιμασαν,
12 They brought in faithfully both the firstfruits, and the tithes, and all they had vowed. And the overseer of them was Chonenias the Levite, and Semei his brother was the second,	12 και εισεφεραν εν πιστει τας προσφορας και τα δεκατα και τα αφιερωματα? επ' αυτων δε ητο επιστατης Χωνανιας ο Λευιτης και μετ' αυτον Σιμει ο αδελφος αυτου.
13 And after him Jehiel, and Azarias, and Nahath, and Asael, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Jesmachias, and Mahath, and Banaias, overseers under the hand of Chonenias, and Semei his brother, by the commandment of Ezechias the king, and Azarias the high priest of the house of God, to whom all things appertained.	13 Ο δε Ιεχιηλ και Αζαζιας και Ναχαθ και Ασαηλ και Ιεριμωθ και Ιωζαβαδ και Ελιηλ και Ισμαχιας και Μααθ και Βεναιας ησαν επιτηρηται, υπο την οδηγιαν του Χωνανιου και Σιμει του αδελφου αυτου, δια προσταγης Εζεκιου του βασιλεως και Αζαριου του επιστατου του οικου του Θεου.
14 But Core the son of Jemna the Levite, the porter of the east gate, was overseer of the things which were freely offered to the Lord, and of the firstfruits and the things dedicated for the holy of holies.	14 Και Κωρη ο υιος του Ιεμνα του Λευιτου, ο πυλωρος κατα ανατολας, ητο επι των προαιρετικων προσφορων του Θεου, δια να διανεμη τας προσφορας του Κυριου και τα αγιωτατα πραγματα.
15 And under his charge were Eden, and Benjamin, Jesue, and Semeias, and Amarias, and Sechenias, in the cities of the priests, to distribute faithfully portions to their brethren, both little and great:	15 Και μετ' αυτον Εδεν και Μινιαμειν και Ιησοης και Σεμαιας, Αμαριας και Σεχανιας, εν ταις πολεσι των ιερεων εμπεπιστευμενοι να διανεμωσιν εις τους αδελφους αυτων κατα τας διαιρεσεις αυτων, εξ ισου εις τον μεγαλον και εις τον μικρον,
16 Besides the males from three years old and upward, to all that went into the temple of the Lord, and whatsoever there was need of in the ministry, and their offices according to their courses, day by day.	16 εις παντα τον εισερχομενον εις τον οικον του Κυριου, το καθημερινον αυτου μεριδιον, δια την εις τα υπουργηματα αυτων υπηρεσιαν αυτων, κατα τας διαιρεσεις αυτων, εκτος των αρσενικων αυτων, τα οποια απηριθμηθησαν κατα γενεαλογιαν, απο τριων ετων ηλικιας και επανω?
17 To the priests by their families, and to the Levites from the twentieth year and upward, by their classes and companies.	17 η απαριθμησις δε των ιερεων και των Λευιτων εγεινε κατα τον οικον των πατριων αυτων, απο εικοσι ετων ηλικιας και επανω, κατα τα υπουργηματα αυτων, κατα τας διαιρεσεις αυτων?
18 And to all the multitude, both to their wives, and to their children of both sexes, victuals were given faithfully out of the things that had been sanctified.	18 και εις παντα τα τεκνα αυτων, τας γυναικας αυτων και τους υιους αυτων και τας θυγατερας αυτων, εις πασαν την συναξιν, οιτινες απηριθμηθησαν κατα γενεαλογιαν? διοτι εν πιστει ηγιασθησαν εις τα αγια.
19 Also of the sons of Aaron who were in the fields and in the suburbs of each city, there were men appointed, to distribute portions to all the males, among the priests and the Levites.	19 Περι δε των υιων Ααρων των ιερεων εν τοις αγροις των προαστειων των πολεων αυτων, ησαν εν εκαστη πολει ανθρωποι διωρισμενοι κατ' ονομα δια να διδωσι μεριδια εις παντα τα αρσενικα μεταξυ των ιερεων και εις παντα τα απαριθμηθεντα μεταξυ των Λευιτων.
20 So Ezechias did all things, which we have said in all Juda, and wrought that which was good; and right, and truth, before the Lord his God,	20 Και ουτως εκαμεν ο Εζεκιας καθ' ολον τον Ιουδαν? και επραξε το καλον και ευθες και αληθινον ενωπιον Κυριου του Θεου αυτου.
21 In all the service of the ministry of the house of the Lord according to the law and the ceremonies, desiring to seek his God with all his heart, and he did it and prospered,	21 Και εις παν εργον, το οποιον ηρχισεν εις την υπηρεσιαν του οικου του Θεου, και εις τον νομον και εις τα προσταγματα, εκζητων τον Θεον αυτου, εκαμνεν αυτο εξ ολης της καρδιας αυτου και ευωδουτο.
