2 Chronicles 31

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	GREEK BIBLE
1 After all this was over, those Israelites who had been present went forth to the cities of Judah and smashed the sacred pillars, cut down the sacred poles, and tore down the high places and altars throughout Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim and Manasseh, until all were destroyed. Then the Israelites returned to their various cities, each to his own possession.	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 Hezekiah reestablished the classes of the priests and the Levites according to their former classification, assigning to each priest and Levite his proper service, whether in regard to holocausts or peace offerings, thanksgiving or praise, or ministering in the gates of the encampment 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 From his own wealth the king allotted a portion for holocausts, those of morning and evening and those on sabbaths, new moons and festivals, as prescribed in the law of the LORD.	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 also commanded the people living in Jerusalem to provide the support of the priests and Levites, that they might devote themselves entirely 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 As soon as the order was promulgated, the Israelites brought, in great quantities, the best of their grain, wine, oil and honey, and all the produce of the fields; they gave a generous tithe of everything.	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 Israelites and Judahites living in other cities of Judah also brought in tithes of oxen, sheep, and things that had been consecrated to the LORD, their God; these they brought in and set out in 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 It was in the third month that they began to establish these heaps, and they completed them in the seventh month.	7 Εν τω τριτω μηνι ηρχισαν να καμνωσι τους σωρους και εν τω εβδομω μηνι ετελειωσαν.
8 When Hezekiah and the princes had come and seen the heaps, they blessed the LORD and his people Israel.	8 και οτε ηλθον ο Εζεκιας και οι αρχοντες και ειδον τους σωρους, ηυλογησαν τον Κυριον και τον λαον αυτου τον Ισραηλ.
9 Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps,	9 Επειτα ηρωτησεν ο Εζεκιας τους ιερεις και τους Λευιτας περι των σωρων.
10 and the priest Azariah, head of the house of Zadoc, answered him, "Since they began to bring the offerings to the house of the LORD, we have eaten to the full and have had much left over, for the LORD has blessed his people. This great supply is what was left over."	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 Hezekiah then gave orders that chambers be constructed in the house of the LORD. When this had been done,	11 Τοτε ειπεν ο Εζεκιας να ετοιμασωσι ταμεια εκ τω οικω του Κυριου? και ητοιμασαν,
12 the offerings, tithes and consecrated things were deposited there in safekeeping. The overseer of these things was Conaniah the Levite, and his brother Shimei was second in charge.	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 Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismachiah, Mahath and Benaiah were supervisors subject to Conaniah and his brother Shimei by appointment of King Hezekiah and of Azariah, the prefect of the house of God.	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 Kore, the son of Imnah, a Levite and the keeper of the eastern gate, was in charge of the free-will gifts made to God; he distributed the offerings made to the LORD and the most holy of the consecrated things.	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 Under him in the priestly cities were Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah and Shecaniah, who faithfully made the distribution to their brethren, great and small alike, according to their classes.	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 There was also a register by ancestral houses of males thirty years of age and over, for all priests who were eligible to enter the house of the LORD according to the daily rule to fulfill their service in the order of their classes.	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 The priests were inscribed in their family records according to their ancestral houses, and the Levites of twenty years and over according to their various offices and classes.	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 A distribution was also made to all who were inscribed in the family records, for their little ones, wives, sons and daughters--thus for the entire assembly, since they were to sanctify themselves by sharing faithfully in the consecrated things.	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 The sons of Aaron, the priests who lived on the lands attached to their cities, had in every city men designated by name to distribute portions to every male among the priests and to every Levite listed in the family records.	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 This Hezekiah did in all Judah. He did what was good, upright and faithful 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 Everything that he undertook, for the service of the house of God or for the law and the commandments, was to do the will of his God. He did this wholeheartedly, and he 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.
