2 Chronicles 31

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	LXX
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 και ως συνετελεσθη παντα ταυτα εξηλθεν πας ισραηλ οι ευρεθεντες εν πολεσιν ιουδα και συνετριψαν τας στηλας και εξεκοψαν τα αλση και κατεσπασαν τα υψηλα και τους βωμους απο πασης της ιουδαιας και βενιαμιν και εξ εφραιμ και απο μανασση εως εις τελος και επεστρεψαν πας ισραηλ εκαστος εις την κληρονομιαν αυτου και εις τας πολεις αυτων
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 εταξεν εζεκιας τας εφημεριας των ιερεων και των λευιτων και τας εφημεριας εκαστου κατα την εαυτου λειτουργιαν τοις ιερευσιν και τοις λευιταις εις την ολοκαυτωσιν και εις την θυσιαν του σωτηριου και αινειν και εξομολογεισθαι και λειτουργειν εν ταις πυλαις εν ταις αυλαις οικου 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 και μερις του βασιλεως εκ των υπαρχοντων αυτου εις τας ολοκαυτωσεις την πρωινην και την δειλινην και ολοκαυτωσεις εις σαββατα και εις τας νουμηνιας και εις τας εορτας τας γεγραμμενας εν τω νομω 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 και ειπεν τω λαω τοις κατοικουσιν εν ιερουσαλημ δουναι την μεριδα των ιερεων και των λευιτων οπως κατισχυσωσιν εν τη λειτουργια οικου 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 ως προσεταξεν τον λογον επλεονασαν οι υιοι ισραηλ απαρχην σιτου και οινου και ελαιου και μελιτος και παν γενημα αγρου και επιδεκατα παντα εις πληθος ηνεγκαν
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 οι υιοι ισραηλ και ιουδα και οι κατοικουντες εν ταις πολεσιν ιουδα και αυτοι ηνεγκαν επιδεκατα μοσχων και προβατων και επιδεκατα αιγων και ηγιασαν τω κυριω θεω αυτων και εισηνεγκαν και εθηκαν σωρους 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 μηνι τω τριτω ηρξαντο οι σωροι θεμελιουσθαι και εν τω εβδομω μηνι συνετελεσθησαν
8 When Hezekiah and the princes had come and seen the heaps, they blessed the LORD and his people Israel.	8 και ηλθεν εζεκιας και οι αρχοντες και ειδον τους σωρους και ηυλογησαν τον κυριον και τον λαον αυτου ισραηλ
9 Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps,	9 και επυνθανετο εζεκιας των ιερεων και των λευιτων υπερ 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 ειπεν προς αυτον αζαριας ο ιερευς ο αρχων εις οικον σαδωκ και ειπεν εξ ου ηρκται η απαρχη φερεσθαι εις οικον κυριου εφαγομεν και επιομεν και κατελιπομεν οτι κυριος ηυλογησεν τον λαον αυτου και κατελιπομεν ετι το πληθος τουτο
11 Hezekiah then gave orders that chambers be constructed in the house of the LORD. When this had been done,	11 και ειπεν εζεκιας ετοιμασαι παστοφορια εις οικον 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 εισηνεγκαν εκει τας απαρχας και τα επιδεκατα εν πιστει και επ' αυτων επιστατης χωνενιας ο λευιτης και σεμει ο αδελφος αυτου διαδεχομενος
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 και ιιηλ και οζαζιας και ναεθ και ασαηλ και ιεριμωθ και ιωζαβαθ και ελιηλ και σαμαχια και μααθ και βαναιας και οι υιοι αυτου καθεσταμενοι δια χωνενιου και σεμει του αδελφου αυτου καθως προσεταξεν ο βασιλευς εζεκιας και αζαριας ο ηγουμενος οικου κυριου
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 του ιεμνα ο λευιτης ο πυλωρος κατα ανατολας επι των δοματων δουναι τας απαρχας κυριω και τα αγια των αγιων
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 δια χειρος οδομ και βενιαμιν και ιησους και σεμει και αμαριας και σεχονιας δια χειρος των ιερεων εν πιστει δουναι τοις αδελφοις αυτων κατα τας εφημεριας κατα τον μεγαν και 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 εκτος της επιγονης των αρσενικων απο τριετους και επανω παντι τω εισπορευομενω εις οικον κυριου εις λογον ημερων εις ημεραν εις λειτουργιαν εφημεριαις διαταξεως αυτων
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 ουτος ο καταλοχισμος των ιερεων κατ' οικους πατριων και οι λευιται εν ταις εφημεριαις αυτων απο εικοσαετους και επανω εν διαταξει
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 εν καταλοχιαις εν παση επιγονη υιων αυτων και θυγατερων αυτων εις παν το πληθος οτι εν πιστει ηγνισαν το αγιον
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 τοις υιοις ααρων τοις ιερατευουσιν και οι απο των πολεων αυτων εν παση πολει και πολει ανδρες οι ωνομασθησαν εν ονοματι δουναι μεριδα παντι αρσενικω εν τοις ιερευσιν και παντι καταριθμουμενω εν τοις λευιταις
20 This Hezekiah did in all Judah. He did what was good, upright and faithful before the LORD, his God.	20 και εποιησεν ουτως εζεκιας εν παντι ιουδα και εποιησεν το καλον και το ευθες εναντιον του κυριου 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 εν παντι εργω εν ω ηρξατο εν εργασια εν οικω κυριου και εν τω νομω και εν τοις προσταγμασιν εξεζητησεν τον θεον αυτου εξ ολης ψυχης αυτου και εποιησεν και ευοδωθη
