2 Chronicles 34

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	LXX
1 Josiah was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem.	1 ων οκτω ετων ιωσιας εν τω βασιλευσαι αυτον και τριακοντα εν ετος εβασιλευσεν εν ιερουσαλημ
2 He pleased the LORD, following the path of his ancestor David.	2 και εποιησεν το ευθες εναντιον κυριου και επορευθη εν οδοις δαυιδ του πατρος αυτου και ουκ εξεκλινεν δεξια και αριστερα
3 In the eighth year of his reign, while he was still a youth, he began to seek after the God of his forefather David, and in his twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem of the high places, the sacred poles and the carved and molten images.	3 και εν τω ογδοω ετει της βασιλειας αυτου και αυτος ετι παιδαριον ηρξατο του ζητησαι κυριον τον θεον δαυιδ του πατρος αυτου και εν τω δωδεκατω ετει της βασιλειας αυτου ηρξατο του καθαρισαι τον ιουδαν και την ιερουσαλημ απο των υψηλων και των αλσεων και απο των χωνευτων
4 In his presence, the altars of the Baals were destroyed; the incense stands erected above them were torn down; the sacred poles and the carved and molten images were shattered and beaten into dust, which was strewn over the tombs of those who had sacrificed to them;	4 και κατεσπασεν κατα προσωπον αυτου τα θυσιαστηρια των βααλιμ και τα υψηλα τα επ' αυτων και εκοψεν τα αλση και τα γλυπτα και τα χωνευτα συνετριψεν και ελεπτυνεν και ερριψεν επι προσωπον των μνηματων των θυσιαζοντων αυτοις
5 and the bones of the priests he burned upon their altars. Thus he purged Judah and Jerusalem.	5 και οστα ιερεων κατεκαυσεν επι τα θυσιαστηρια και εκαθαρισεν τον ιουδαν και την ιερουσαλημ
6 He did likewise in the cities of Manasseh, Ephraim, Simeon, and in the ruined villages of the surrounding country as far as Naphtali;	6 και εν πολεσιν εφραιμ και μανασση και συμεων και νεφθαλι και τοις τοποις αυτων κυκλω
7 he destroyed the altars, broke up the sacred poles and carved images and beat them into dust, and tore down the incense stands throughout the land of Israel. Then he returned to Jerusalem.	7 και κατεσπασεν τα αλση και τα θυσιαστηρια και τα ειδωλα κατεκοψεν λεπτα και παντα τα υψηλα εκοψεν απο πασης της γης ισραηλ και απεστρεψεν εις ιερουσαλημ
8 In the eighteenth year of his reign, in order to cleanse the temple as well as the land, he sent Shaphan, son of Azaliah, Maaseiah, the ruler of the city, and Joah, son of Joahaz, the chamberlain, to restore the house of the LORD, his God.	8 και εν τω οκτωκαιδεκατω ετει της βασιλειας αυτου του καθαρισαι την γην και τον οικον απεστειλεν τον σαφαν υιον εσελια και τον μαασιαν αρχοντα της πολεως και τον ιουαχ υιον ιωαχαζ τον υπομνηματογραφον αυτου κραταιωσαι τον οικον κυριου του θεου αυτου
9 They came to Hilkiah the high priest and turned over the money brought to the house of God which the Levites, the guardians of the threshold, had collected from Manasseh, Ephraim, and all the remnant of Israel, as well as from all of Judah, Benjamin, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.	9 και ηλθον προς χελκιαν τον ιερεα τον μεγαν και εδωκαν το αργυριον το εισενεχθεν εις οικον θεου ο συνηγαγον οι λευιται φυλασσοντες την πυλην εκ χειρος μανασση και εφραιμ και των αρχοντων και απο παντος καταλοιπου εν ισραηλ και υιων ιουδα και βενιαμιν και οικουντων εν ιερουσαλημ
10 They turned it over to the master workmen in the house of the LORD, and these in turn used it to pay the workmen in the LORD'S house who were restoring and repairing the temple.	10 και εδωκαν αυτο επι χειρα ποιουντων τα εργα οι καθεσταμενοι εν οικω κυριου και εδωκαν αυτο ποιουσι τα εργα οι εποιουν εν οικω κυριου επισκευασαι κατισχυσαι τον οικον
11 They also gave it to the carpenters and the masons to buy hewn stone and timber for the tie beams and rafters of the buildings which the kings of Judah had allowed to fall into ruin.	11 και εδωκαν τοις τεκτοσι και τοις οικοδομοις αγορασαι λιθους τετραπεδους και ξυλα εις δοκους στεγασαι τους οικους ους εξωλεθρευσαν βασιλεις ιουδα
12 The men worked faithfully at their task; their overseers were Jahath and Obadiah, Levites of the line of Merari, and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the Kohathites, who directed them. All those Levites who were skillful with musical instruments	12 και οι ανδρες εν πιστει επι των εργων και επ' αυτων επισκοποι ιεθ και αβδιας οι λευιται εξ υιων μεραρι και ζαχαριας και μοσολλαμ εκ των υιων κααθ επισκοπειν και πας λευιτης πας συνιων εν οργανοις ωδων
13 were in charge of the men who carried the burdens, and they directed all the workers in every kind of labor. Some of the other Levites were scribes, officials and gatekeepers.	13 και επι των νωτοφορων και επι παντων των ποιουντων τα εργα εργασια και εργασια και απο των λευιτων γραμματεις και κριται και πυλωροι
14 When they brought out the money that had been deposited in the house of the LORD, Hilkiah the priest found the book of the law of the LORD given through Moses.	14 και εν τω εκφερειν αυτους το αργυριον το εισοδιασθεν εις οικον κυριου ευρεν χελκιας ο ιερευς βιβλιον νομου κυριου δια χειρος μωυση
15 He reported this to Shaphan the scribe, saying, "I have found the book of the law in the house of the LORD." Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan,	15 και απεκριθη χελκιας και ειπεν προς σαφαν τον γραμματεα βιβλιον νομου ευρον εν οικω κυριου και εδωκεν χελκιας το βιβλιον τω σαφαν
16 who brought it to the king at the same time that he was making his report to him. He said, "Your servants are doing everything that has been entrusted to them;	16 και εισηνεγκεν σαφαν το βιβλιον προς τον βασιλεα και απεδωκεν ετι τω βασιλει λογον παν το δοθεν αργυριον εν χειρι των παιδων σου των ποιουντων το εργον
17 they have turned into bullion the metals deposited in the LORD'S house and have handed it over to the overseers and the workmen."	17 και εχωνευσαν το αργυριον το ευρεθεν εν οικω κυριου και εδωκαν επι χειρα των επισκοπων και επι χειρα των ποιουντων εργασιαν
18 Then Shaphan the scribe announced to the king, "Hilkiah the priest has given me a book." And Shaphan read from it before the king.	18 και απηγγειλεν σαφαν ο γραμματευς τω βασιλει λεγων βιβλιον εδωκεν μοι χελκιας ο ιερευς και ανεγνω αυτο σαφαν εναντιον του βασιλεως
19 When the king heard the words of the law, he tore his garments	19 και εγενετο ως ηκουσεν ο βασιλευς τους λογους του νομου και διερρηξεν τα ιματια αυτου
20 and issued this command to Hilkiah, to Ahikam, son of Shaphan, to Abdon, son of Michah, to Shaphan the scribe, and to Asaiah, the king's servant:	20 και ενετειλατο ο βασιλευς τω χελκια και τω αχικαμ υιω σαφαν και τω αβδων υιω μιχαια και τω σαφαν τω γραμματει και τω ασαια παιδι του βασιλεως λεγων
21 "On behalf of myself and those who are left in Israel and Judah, go, consult the LORD concerning the words of the book that has been found. For the anger of the LORD has been set furiously ablaze against us, since our fathers have not kept the word of the LORD and have not done all that is written in this book."	21 πορευθητε ζητησατε τον κυριον περι εμου και περι παντος του καταλειφθεντος εν ισραηλ και ιουδα περι των λογων του βιβλιου του ευρεθεντος οτι μεγας ο θυμος κυριου εκκεκαυται εν ημιν διοτι ουκ εισηκουσαν οι πατερες ημων των λογων κυριου του ποιησαι κατα παντα τα γεγραμμενα εν τω βιβλιω τουτω
22 Then Hilkiah and the other men from the king went to the prophetess Huldah, the wife of Shallum, son of Tokhath, son of Hasrah, the guardian of the wardrobe; she dwelt in Jerusalem, in the new quarter. They spoke to her as they had been instructed,	22 και επορευθη χελκιας και οις ειπεν ο βασιλευς προς ολδαν την προφητιν γυναικα σελλημ υιου θακουαθ υιου χελλης φυλασσουσαν τας στολας και αυτη κατωκει εν ιερουσαλημ εν μασανα και ελαλησαν αυτη κατα ταυτα
23 and she said to them: "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: 'Tell the one who sent you to me,	23 και ειπεν αυτοις ουτως ειπεν κυριος ο θεος ισραηλ ειπατε τω ανδρι τω αποστειλαντι υμας προς με
24 The LORD says: I am prepared to bring evil upon this place and upon its inhabitants, all the curses written in the book that has been read before the king of Judah.	24 ουτως λεγει κυριος ιδου εγω επαγω κακα επι τον τοπον τουτον τους παντας λογους τους γεγραμμενους εν τω βιβλιω τω ανεγνωσμενω εναντιον του βασιλεως ιουδα
25 Because they have abandoned me and have offered incense to other gods, provoking me by every deed that they have performed, my anger is ablaze against this place and cannot be extinguished.'	25 ανθ' ων εγκατελιπον με και εθυμιασαν θεοις αλλοτριοις ινα παροργισωσιν με εν πασιν τοις εργοις των χειρων αυτων και εξεκαυθη ο θυμος μου εν τω τοπω τουτω και ου σβεσθησεται
26 "But to the king of Judah who sent you to consult the LORD, give this response: 'Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning the threats you have heard:	26 και επι βασιλεα ιουδα τον αποστειλαντα υμας του ζητησαι τον κυριον ουτως ερειτε αυτω ουτως λεγει κυριος ο θεος ισραηλ τους λογους ους ηκουσας
27 Because you were heartsick and have humbled yourself before God on hearing his words spoken against this place and its inhabitants; because you have humbled yourself before me, have torn your garments, and have wept before me, I in turn have listened--so declares the LORD.	27 και ενετραπη η καρδια σου και εταπεινωθης απο προσωπου μου εν τω ακουσαι σε τους λογους μου επι τον τοπον τουτον και επι τους κατοικουντας αυτον και εταπεινωθης εναντιον μου και διερρηξας τα ιματια σου και εκλαυσας κατεναντιον μου και εγω ηκουσα φησιν κυριος
28 I will gather you to your ancestors and you shall be taken to your grave in peace. Your eyes shall not see all the evil I will bring upon this place and upon its inhabitants.'" They brought back this message to the king.	28 ιδου προστιθημι σε προς τους πατερας σου και προστεθηση προς τα μνηματα σου εν ειρηνη και ουκ οψονται οι οφθαλμοι σου εν πασιν τοις κακοις οις εγω επαγω επι τον τοπον τουτον και επι τους κατοικουντας αυτον και απεδωκαν τω βασιλει λογον
29 The king now convened all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.	29 και απεστειλεν ο βασιλευς και συνηγαγεν τους πρεσβυτερους ιουδα και ιερουσαλημ
30 He went up to the house of the LORD with all the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the priests, the Levites, and all the people, great and small; and he had read aloud to them the entire text of the book of the covenant that had been found in the house of the LORD.	30 και ανεβη ο βασιλευς εις οικον κυριου και πας ιουδα και οι κατοικουντες ιερουσαλημ και οι ιερεις και οι λευιται και πας ο λαος απο μεγαλου εως μικρου και ανεγνω εν ωσιν αυτων τους παντας λογους βιβλιου της διαθηκης του ευρεθεντος εν οικω κυριου
31 Standing at his post, the king made a covenant before the LORD to follow the LORD and to keep his commandments, decrees, and statutes with his whole heart and soul, thus observing the terms of the covenant written in this book.	31 και εστη ο βασιλευς επι τον στυλον και διεθετο διαθηκην εναντιον κυριου του πορευθηναι ενωπιον κυριου του φυλασσειν τας εντολας αυτου και μαρτυρια αυτου και προσταγματα αυτου εν ολη καρδια και εν ολη ψυχη τους λογους της διαθηκης τους γεγραμμενους επι τω βιβλιω τουτω
32 He thereby committed all who were of Jerusalem and Benjamin, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem conformed themselves to the covenant of God, the God of their fathers.	32 και εστησεν παντας τους ευρεθεντας εν ιερουσαλημ και βενιαμιν και εποιησαν οι κατοικουντες ιερουσαλημ διαθηκην εν οικω κυριου θεου πατερων αυτων
33 Josiah removed every abominable thing from all the territory belonging to the Israelites, and he obliged all who were in Israel to serve the LORD, their God. During his lifetime they did not desert the LORD, the God of their fathers.	33 και περιειλεν ιωσιας τα παντα βδελυγματα εκ πασης της γης η ην υιων ισραηλ και εποιησεν παντας τους ευρεθεντας εν ιερουσαλημ και εν ισραηλ του δουλευειν κυριω θεω αυτων πασας τας ημερας αυτου ουκ εξεκλινεν απο οπισθεν κυριου θεου πατερων αυτου
