GREEK BIBLEDOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Και οτε εφθασεν ο εβδομος μην και οι υιοι Ισραηλ ησαν εν ταις πολεσι, συνηθροισθη ο λαος ως εις ανθρωπος εις Ιερουσαλημ.1 And now the seventh month was come, and the children of Israel were in their cities: and the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem.
2 Και εσηκωθη Ιησους, ο υιος του Ιωσεδεκ, και οι αδελφοι αυτου οι ιερεις, και Ζοροβαβελ ο υιος του Σαλαθιηλ και οι αδελφοι αυτου, και ωκοδομησαν το θυσιαστηριον του Θεου του Ισραηλ, δια να προσφερωσιν ολοκαυτωματα επ' αυτου, κατα το γεγραμμενον εν τω νομω Μωυσεως του ανθρωπου του Θεου?2 And Josue the son of Josedec rose up, and his brethren the priests, and Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, and his brethren, and they built the altar of the God of Israel that they might offer holocausts upon it, as it is written in the law of Moses the mall of God.
3 και εστησαν το θυσιαστηριον εν τω τοπω αυτου, καιτοι επαπειλουμενοι υπο του λαου των τοπων εκεινων? και προσεφεραν επ' αυτου ολοκαυτωματα προς τον Κυριον, ολοκαυτωματα πρωι και εσπερας.3 And they set the altar of God upon its bases, while the people of the lands round about put them in fear, and they offered upon it a holocaust to the Lord morning and evening.
4 Και εκαμον την εορτην των σκηνων, κατα το γεγραμμενον, και τας καθημερινας ολοκαυτωσεις κατα αριθμον, ως ητο διατεταγμενον κατα το καθηκον εκαστης ημερας.4 And they kept the feast of tabernacles, as it is written, and offered the holocaust every day orderly according to the commandment, the duty of the day in its day.
5 Και μετα ταυτα προσεφεραν τα παντοτεινα ολοκαυτωματα, και των νεομηνιων και πασων των καθηγιασμενων εορτων του Κυριου και παντος προσφεροντος αυτοπροαιρετον προσφοραν εις τον Κυριον.5 And afterwards the continual holocaust, both on the new moons, and on all the solemnities of the Lord, that were consecrated, and on all in which a freewill offering was made to the Lord.
6 Απο της πρωτης ημερας του εβδομου μηνος ηρχισαν να προσφερωσιν ολοκαυτωματα προς τον Κυριον? πλην τα θεμελια του ναου του Κυριου δεν ειχον τεθη ετι.6 From the Brat day of the seventh month they began to offer holocausts to the Lord: but the temple of God was not yet founded.
7 Και εδωκαν αργυριον εις τους λιθοτομους και εις τους τεκτονας? και τροφας και ποτα και ελαιον, εις τους Σιδωνιους και εις τους Τυριους, δια να φερωσι ξυλα κεδρινα απο του Λιβανου εις την θαλασσαν της Ιοππης, κατα την εις αυτους δοθεισαν αδειαν Κυρου του βασιλεως της Περσιας.7 And they gave money to hewers of stones and to masons: and meat and drink, and oil to the Sidonians and Tyrians, to bring cedar trees from Libanus to the sea of Joppe, according to the orders which Cyrus king of the Persians had given them.
8 Και εν τω δευτερω ετει της επιστροφης αυτων προς τον οικον του Θεου εν Ιερουσαλημ, εν μηνι τω δευτερω, ηρχισαν Ζοροβαβελ ο υιος του Σαλαθιηλ και Ιησους ο υιος του Ιωσεδεκ και οι λοιποι των αδελφων αυτων, ιερεις και Λευιται, και παντες οι ελθοντες απο της αιχμαλωσιας εις Ιερουσαλημ? και κατεστησαν τους Λευιτας, απο εικοσι ετων ηλικιας και επανω, δια να επισπευδωσι το εργον του οικου του Κυριου.8 And in the second year of their coming to the temple of God in Jerusalem, the second month, Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, and Josue the son of Josedec, and the rest of their brethren the priests, and the Levites, and all that were come from the captivity to Jerusalem began, and they appointed Levites from twenty years old and upward, to hasten forward the work of the Lord.
9 Και παρεσταθη ο Ιησους, οι υιοι αυτου και οι αδελφοι αυτου, ο Καδμιηλ και οι υιοι αυτου, υιοι Ιουδα, ως εις ανθρωπος, δια να κατεπειγωσι τους εργαζομενους εν τω οικω του Θεου? οι υιοι του Ηναδαδ, οι υιοι αυτων και οι αδελφοι αυτων οι Λευιται.9 Then Josue and his sons and his brethren, Cedmihel, and his sons, and the children of Juda, as one man, stood to hasten them that did the work in the temple of God: the sons of Henadad, and their sons, and their brethren the Levites.
10 Και οτε εθεσαν οι οικοδομοι τα θεμελια του ναου του Κυριου, εσταθησαν οι ιερεις ενδεδυμενοι, μετα σαλπιγγων, και οι Λευιται οι υιοι του Ασαφ μετα κυμβαλων, δια να υμνωσι τον Κυριον, κατα την διαταγην Δαβιδ του βασιλεως του Ισραηλ?10 And when the masons laid the foundations of the temple of the Lord, the priests stood in their ornaments with trumpets: and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise God by the hands of David king of Israel.
11 και εψαλλον αμοιβαιως υμνουντες και ευχαριστουντες τον Κυριον, Οτι αγαθος, οτι εις τον αιωνα το ελεος αυτου επι τον Ισραηλ. Και πας ο λαος ηλαλαξαν αλαλαγμον μεγαν, υμνουντες τον Κυριον δια την θεμελιωσιν του οικου του Κυριου.11 And they sung together hymns, and praise to the Lord: because he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever towards Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, praising the Lord, because the foundations of the temple of the Lord were laid.
12 Και πολλοι εκ των ιερεων και Λευιτων και των αρχηγων των πατριων, γεροντες, οιτινες ειχον ιδει τον προτερον οικον, ενω ο οικος ουτος εθεμελιουτο ενωπιον των οφθαλμων αυτων, εκλαιον μετα φωνης μεγαλης? πολλοι δε ηλαλαξαν εν φωνη μεγαλη μετ' ευφροσυνης.12 But many of the priests and the Levites, and the chief of the fathers and the ancients that had seen the former temple; when they had the foundation of this temple before their eyes, wept with a loud voice: and many shouting for joy, lifted up their voice.
13 Και δεν διεκρινεν ο λαος την φωνην του αλαλαγμου της ευφροσυνης απο της φωνης του κλαυθμου του λαου? διοτι ο λαος ηλαλαζεν αλαλαγμον μεγαν, και η βοη ηκουετο εως απο μακροθεν.13 So that one could not distinguish the voice of the shout of joy, from the noise of the weeping of the people: for one with another the people shouted with a loud shout, and the voice was heard afar off.
