LXX	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 και εποιησεν ιωσιας το φασεχ τω κυριω θεω αυτου και εθυσαν το φασεχ τη τεσσαρεσκαιδεκατη του μηνος του πρωτου	1 Now Josiah kept the Passover to the Lord in Jerusalem, and it was immolated on the fourteenth day of the first month.
2 και εστησεν τους ιερεις επι τας φυλακας αυτων και κατισχυσεν αυτους εις τα εργα οικου κυριου	2 And he appointed the priests in their offices, and he exhorted them to minister in the house of the Lord.
3 και ειπεν τοις λευιταις τοις δυνατοις εν παντι ισραηλ του αγιασθηναι αυτους τω κυριω και εθηκαν την κιβωτον την αγιαν εις τον οικον ον ωκοδομησεν σαλωμων υιος δαυιδ του βασιλεως ισραηλ και ειπεν ο βασιλευς ουκ εστιν υμιν αραι επ' ωμων ουθεν νυν ουν λειτουργησατε τω κυριω θεω υμων και τω λαω αυτου ισραηλ	3 Also, he spoke with the Levites, by whose instruction all of Israel was sanctified to the Lord, saying: “Place the ark in the sanctuary of the temple, which Solomon, the son of David, the king of Israel, built. For never again shall you carry it. Instead, now you shall minister to the Lord your God, and to his people Israel.
4 και ετοιμασθητε κατ' οικους πατριων υμων και κατα τας εφημεριας υμων κατα την γραφην δαυιδ βασιλεως ισραηλ και δια χειρος σαλωμων υιου αυτου	4 And prepare yourselves by your houses and families, within each division, just as David, the king of Israel, instructed, and just as his son Solomon has written.
5 και στητε εν τω οικω κατα τας διαιρεσεις οικων πατριων υμων τοις αδελφοις υμων υιοις του λαου και μερις οικου πατριας τοις λευιταις	5 And minister in the sanctuary, by the Levitical families and companies.
6 και θυσατε το φασεχ και τα αγια ετοιμασατε τοις αδελφοις υμων του ποιησαι κατα τον λογον κυριου δια χειρος μωυση	6 And having been sanctified, immolate the Passover. And then prepare your brothers, so that they may be able to act in accord with the words which the Lord has spoken by the hand of Moses.”
7 και απηρξατο ιωσιας τοις υιοις του λαου προβατα και αμνους και εριφους απο των τεκνων των αιγων παντα εις το φασεχ εις παντας τους ευρεθεντας εις αριθμον τριακοντα χιλιαδας και μοσχων τρεις χιλιαδας ταυτα απο της υπαρξεως του βασιλεως	7 After this, Josiah gave to all the people, those who had been found there at the solemnity of the Passover, thirty thousand lambs and young goats from the flocks, and other kinds of small cattle, and also three thousand oxen. All these were from the substance of the king.
8 και οι αρχοντες αυτου απηρξαντο τω λαω και τοις ιερευσιν και λευιταις εδωκεν χελκιας και ζαχαριας και ιιηλ οι αρχοντες οικου του θεου τοις ιερευσιν και εδωκαν εις το φασεχ προβατα και αμνους και εριφους δισχιλια εξακοσια και μοσχους τριακοσιους	8 Also, his rulers offered what they had vowed freely, as much for the people as for the priests and Levites. Moreover, Hilkiah, and Zechariah, and Jehiel, rulers of the house of the Lord, gave to the priests, in order to observe the Passover, two thousand six hundred small cattle, and three hundred oxen.
9 και χωνενιας και βαναιας και σαμαιας και ναθαναηλ αδελφος αυτου και ασαβια και ιιηλ και ιωζαβαδ αρχοντες των λευιτων απηρξαντο τοις λευιταις εις το φασεχ προβατα πεντακισχιλια και μοσχους πεντακοσιους	9 And Conaniah, with Shemaiah and Nethanel, his brothers, indeed also Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, rulers of the Levites, gave to the rest of the Levites, in order to celebrate the Passover, five thousand small cattle, and five hundred oxen.
10 και κατωρθωθη η λειτουργια και εστησαν οι ιερεις επι την στασιν αυτων και οι λευιται επι τας διαιρεσεις αυτων κατα την εντολην του βασιλεως	10 And the ministry was prepared. And the priests stood in their office, and the Levites also stood in their companies, according to the order of the king.
11 και εθυσαν το φασεχ και προσεχεαν οι ιερεις το αιμα εκ χειρος αυτων και οι λευιται εξεδειραν	11 And the Passover was immolated. And the priests sprinkled the blood with their hand, and the Levites drew away the pelts of the holocausts.
12 και ητοιμασαν την ολοκαυτωσιν παραδουναι αυτοις κατα την διαιρεσιν κατ' οικους πατριων τοις υιοις του λαου του προσαγειν τω κυριω ως γεγραπται εν βιβλιω μωυση και ουτως εις το πρωι	12 And they put these aside, so that they might give them to each one, by their houses and families, and so that they might be offered to the Lord, just as it was written in the book of Moses. And with the oxen, they acted similarly.
13 και ωπτησαν το φασεχ εν πυρι κατα την κρισιν και τα αγια ηψησαν εν τοις χαλκειοις και εν τοις λεβησιν και ευοδωθη και εδραμον προς παντας τους υιους του λαου	13 And they roasted the Passover above fire, in accord with what was written in the law. Yet truly, the victims of peace offerings they boiled in cauldrons and kettles and pots. And they promptly distributed these to all the common people.
14 και μετα το ετοιμασαι αυτοις και τοις ιερευσιν οτι οι ιερεις εν τω αναφερειν τα στεατα και τα ολοκαυτωματα εως νυκτος και οι λευιται ητοιμασαν αυτοις και τοις αδελφοις αυτων υιοις ααρων	14 Then afterward, they made preparations for themselves and for the priests. Indeed, the priests had been occupied in the oblations of the holocausts and the fat offerings, even until night. Therefore, the Levites made preparations for themselves and for the priests, the sons of Aaron, last.
15 και οι ψαλτωδοι υιοι ασαφ επι της στασεως αυτων κατα τας εντολας δαυιδ και ασαφ και αιμαν και ιδιθων οι προφηται του βασιλεως και οι αρχοντες και οι πυλωροι πυλης και πυλης ουκ ην αυτοις κινεισθαι απο της λειτουργιας αγιων οτι οι αδελφοι αυτων οι λευιται ητοιμασαν αυτοις	15 Now the singers, the sons of Asaph, were standing in their order, according to the instruction of David, and of Asaph and Heman and Jeduthun, the prophets of the king. Truly, the porters kept watch at each gate, so as not to depart from their ministry even for one moment. And for this reason, their brothers, the Levites, prepared foods for them.
16 και κατωρθωθη και ητοιμασθη πασα η λειτουργια κυριου εν τη ημερα εκεινη του ποιησαι το φασεχ και ενεγκειν τα ολοκαυτωματα επι το θυσιαστηριον κυριου κατα την εντολην του βασιλεως ιωσια	16 And so, the entire worship ritual of the Lord was completed on that day, so that they observed the Passover and offered holocausts upon the altar of the Lord, in accord with the precept of king Josiah.
17 και εποιησαν οι υιοι ισραηλ οι ευρεθεντες το φασεχ εν τω καιρω εκεινω και την εορτην των αζυμων επτα ημερας	17 And the sons of Israel, who had been found there, kept the Passover at that time, with the solemnity of unleavened bread, for seven days.
18 και ουκ εγενετο φασεχ ομοιον αυτω εν ισραηλ απο ημερων σαμουηλ του προφητου και παντες βασιλεις ισραηλ ουκ εποιησαν ως το φασεχ ο εποιησεν ιωσιας και οι ιερεις και οι λευιται και πας ιουδα και ισραηλ ο ευρεθεις και οι κατοικουντες εν ιερουσαλημ τω κυριω	18 There was no Passover similar to this one in Israel, from the days of Samuel the prophet. And neither did anyone, out of all the kings of Israel, keep such a Passover as did Josiah, the priests and Levites, and all those of Judah and Israel who had been found, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
19 τω οκτωκαιδεκατω ετει της βασιλειας ιωσια [19α] και τους εγγαστριμυθους και τους γνωστας και τα θαραφιν και τα ειδωλα και τα καρασιμ α ην εν γη ιουδα και εν ιερουσαλημ ενεπυρισεν ο βασιλευς ιωσιας ινα στηση τους λογους του νομου τους γεγραμμενους επι του βιβλιου ου ευρεν χελκιας ο ιερευς εν τω οικω κυριου [19β] ομοιος αυτω ουκ εγενηθη εμπροσθεν αυτου ος επεστρεψεν προς κυριον εν ολη καρδια αυτου και εν ολη ψυχη αυτου και εν ολη ισχυι αυτου κατα παντα τον νομον μωυση και μετ' αυτον ουκ ανεστη ομοιος αυτω [19χ] πλην ουκ απεστραφη κυριος απο οργης θυμου αυτου του μεγαλου ου ωργισθη θυμω κυριος εν τω ιουδα επι παντα τα παροργισματα α παρωργισεν μανασσης [19δ] και ειπεν κυριος και γε τον ιουδαν αποστησω απο προσωπου μου καθως απεστησα τον ισραηλ και απωσαμην την πολιν ην εξελεξαμην την ιερουσαλημ και τον οικον ον ειπα εσται το ονομα μου εκει	19 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah, this Passover was celebrated.
20 και ανεβη φαραω νεχαω βασιλευς αιγυπτου επι τον βασιλεα ασσυριων επι τον ποταμον ευφρατην και επορευθη ο βασιλευς ιωσιας εις συναντησιν αυτω	20 After Josiah had repaired the temple, Neco, the king of Egypt, ascended to fight at Carchemish, beside the Euphrates. And Josiah went out to meet him.
21 και απεστειλεν προς αυτον αγγελους λεγων τι εμοι και σοι βασιλευ ιουδα ουκ επι σε ηκω σημερον πολεμον ποιησαι και ο θεος ειπεν κατασπευσαι με προσεχε απο του θεου του μετ' εμου μη καταφθειρη σε	21 But he sent messengers to him, saying: “What is there between me and you, O king of Judah? I have not come against you today. Instead, I am fighting against another house, to which God instructed me to go promptly. Refrain from acting against God, who is with me, otherwise he may kill you.”
22 και ουκ απεστρεψεν ιωσιας το προσωπον αυτου απ' αυτου αλλ' η πολεμειν αυτον εκραταιωθη και ουκ ηκουσεν των λογων νεχαω δια στοματος θεου και ηλθεν του πολεμησαι εν τω πεδιω μαγεδων	22 Josiah was not willing to return. Instead, he prepared for war against him. Neither would he agree to the words of Neco from the mouth of God. In truth, he traveled so that he might do battle in the field of Megiddo.
23 και ετοξευσαν οι τοξοται επι βασιλεα ιωσιαν και ειπεν ο βασιλευς τοις παισιν αυτου εξαγαγετε με οτι επονεσα σφοδρα	23 And there, having been wounded by archers, he said to his servants: “Lead me away from the battle. For I have been severely wounded.”
24 και εξηγαγον αυτον οι παιδες αυτου απο του αρματος και ανεβιβασαν αυτον επι το αρμα το δευτερευον ο ην αυτω και ηγαγον αυτον εις ιερουσαλημ και απεθανεν και εταφη μετα των πατερων αυτου και πας ιουδα και ιερουσαλημ επενθησαν επι ιωσιαν	24 And they took him from the chariot, into another chariot which was following him, as was the custom of kings. And they transported him to Jerusalem. And he died, and he was buried in the mausoleum of his fathers. And all of Judah and Jerusalem mourned for him,
25 και εθρηνησεν ιερεμιας επι ιωσιαν και ειπαν παντες οι αρχοντες και αι αρχουσαι θρηνον επι ιωσιαν εως της σημερον και εδωκαν αυτον εις προσταγμα επι ισραηλ και ιδου γεγραπται επι των θρηνων	25 most of all Jeremiah. All the singing men and women repeat his lamentations over Josiah, even to the present day. And this has become like a law in Israel. Behold, it is found written in the Lamentations.
26 και ησαν οι λογοι ιωσια και η ελπις αυτου γεγραμμενα εν νομω κυριου	26 Now the rest of the words of Josiah, and his mercies, which were instructed by the law of the Lord,
27 και οι λογοι αυτου οι πρωτοι και οι εσχατοι ιδου γεγραμμενοι επι βιβλιω βασιλεων ισραηλ και ιουδα	27 and also his works, the first and the last, have been written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
