2 Chronicles 34

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	LXX
1 Josiah was eight years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for thirty-one years in Jerusalem.	1 ων οκτω ετων ιωσιας εν τω βασιλευσαι αυτον και τριακοντα εν ετος εβασιλευσεν εν ιερουσαλημ
2 And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord, and he walked in the ways of his father David. He did not turn away, neither to the right, nor to the left.	2 και εποιησεν το ευθες εναντιον κυριου και επορευθη εν οδοις δαυιδ του πατρος αυτου και ουκ εξεκλινεν δεξια και αριστερα
3 Now in the eighth year of his reign, when he was still a boy, he began to seek the God of his father David. And in the twelfth year after he had begun to reign, he cleansed Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the sacred groves, and the idols, and the graven 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 And in his sight, they destroyed the altars of the Baals, and they demolished the idols which had been set upon them. And then he cut down the sacred groves and crushed the graven images. And he scattered the fragments upon the tombs of those who had been accustomed to immolate 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 after that, he burned the bones of the priests upon the altars of the idols. And so did he cleanse Judah and Jerusalem.	5 και οστα ιερεων κατεκαυσεν επι τα θυσιαστηρια και εκαθαρισεν τον ιουδαν και την ιερουσαλημ
6 Then too, in the cities of Manasseh, and of Ephraim, and of Simeon, even to Naphtali, he overturned everything.	6 και εν πολεσιν εφραιμ και μανασση και συμεων και νεφθαλι και τοις τοποις αυτων κυκλω
7 And when he had destroyed the altars and the sacred groves, and had broken the idols to pieces, and when all the profane shrines had been demolished from the entire land of Israel, 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 And so, in the eighteenth year of his reign, having now cleansed the land and the temple of the Lord, he sent Shaphan, the son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah, the ruler of the city, and Joah, the son of Joahaz, the historian, to repair 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 And they went to Hilkiah, the high priest. And having accepted from him the money which had been brought into the house of the Lord, and which the Levites and porters had gathered together from Manasseh, and Ephraim, and the entire remnant of Israel, and also from all of Judah, and 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 delivered it into the hands of those who were in charge of the workers in the house of the Lord, so that they might repair the temple, and restore whatever was weak.	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 And they gave it to the artisans and the stoneworkers, so that they might buy stones from the quarries, and wood for the joints of the building and for the upper floors the houses, which the kings of Judah had destroyed.	11 και εδωκαν τοις τεκτοσι και τοις οικοδομοις αγορασαι λιθους τετραπεδους και ξυλα εις δοκους στεγασαι τους οικους ους εξωλεθρευσαν βασιλεις ιουδα
12 And they did everything faithfully. Now the overseers of the workers were Jahath and Obadiah, from the sons of Merari, and Zechariah and Meshullam, from the sons of Kohath, who were supervising the work. All were Levites who knew how to play 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 Truly, scribes and teachers, from among the Levites who were porters, were over those who were carrying burdens for various uses.	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 And when they carried out the money that had been brought into the temple of the Lord, Hilkiah the priest found the book of the law of the Lord by the hand of 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 And he said to Shaphan, the scribe: “I have found the book of the law in the house of the Lord.” And he delivered it to him.	15 και απεκριθη χελκιας και ειπεν προς σαφαν τον γραμματεα βιβλιον νομου ευρον εν οικω κυριου και εδωκεν χελκιας το βιβλιον τω σαφαν
16 Then he took the volume to the king, and he reported to him, saying: “Behold, everything that you entrusted to your servants is completed.	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 melted together the silver that was found in the house of the Lord. And it has been given to the overseers of the artisans and craftsmen for various works.	17 και εχωνευσαν το αργυριον το ευρεθεν εν οικω κυριου και εδωκαν επι χειρα των επισκοπων και επι χειρα των ποιουντων εργασιαν
18 After this, Hilkiah the priest gave to me this book.” And when he had read it in the presence of 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 and he had 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 he instructed Hilkiah, and Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, and Abdon, the son of Micah, and also Shaphan, the scribe, and Asaiah, the servant of the king, saying:	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 “Go, and pray to the Lord for me, and for the remnant of Israel and Judah, concerning all the words of this book, which has been found. For the great fury of the Lord has rained down upon us, because our fathers did not keep the words of the Lord, to do all that has been written in this volume.”	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 Therefore, Hilkiah, and those who had been sent with him by the king, went to Huldah, the prophetess, the wife of Shallum, the son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, the keeper of the vestments. She was living in Jerusalem, in the second part. And they spoke to her the words which we explained above.	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 responded to them: “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Tell the man who sent you to me:	23 και ειπεν αυτοις ουτως ειπεν κυριος ο θεος ισραηλ ειπατε τω ανδρι τω αποστειλαντι υμας προς με
24 Thus says the Lord: Behold, I will lead in evils over this place, and over its inhabitants, with all the curses that have been written in this book, which they have 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 For they have abandoned me, and they have sacrificed to foreign gods, so that they provoked me to wrath by all the works of their hands. Therefore, my fury will rain down upon this place, and it will not 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 To the king of Judah, who sent you to petition before the Lord, so shall you speak: Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Since you listened to the words of this volume,	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 and your heart was softened, and you humbled yourself in the sight of God concerning these things which have been said against this place and against the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and since, revering my face, you have torn your garments, and have wept before me: I also have heeded you, says 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 For now I will gather you to your fathers, and you will be brought into your sepulcher in peace. Neither shall your eyes see all the evil that I will lead in, over this place and over its inhabitants.” And so they took back to the king all that she had said.	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 And he, calling together all those greater by birth of Judah and Jerusalem,	29 και απεστειλεν ο βασιλευς και συνηγαγεν τους πρεσβυτερους ιουδα και ιερουσαλημ
30 ascended to the house of the Lord, united with all the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the priests and the Levites, and all the people, from the least even to the greatest. And in their hearing, in the house of the Lord, the king read all the words of the volume.	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 And standing up at his tribunal, he struck a covenant before the Lord, so that he would walk after him, and would keep his precepts and testimonies and justifications, with his whole heart and with his whole soul, and so that he would do the things that were written in that volume, which he had read.	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 Also, concerning this, he bound by oath all who had been found in Jerusalem and Benjamin. And the inhabitants of Jerusalem acted in accord with the covenant of the Lord, 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 Therefore, Josiah took away all the abominations from all the regions of the sons of Israel. And he caused all who were remaining in Israel to serve the Lord their God. During all his days, they did not withdraw from 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
