GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Ο Ιωσιας εκαμεν ετι πασχα προς τον Κυριον εν Ιερουσαλημ? και εθυσιασαν το πασχα την δεκατην τεταρτην του πρωτου μηνος.	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 εστησε τους ιερεις εις τας φυλακας αυτων και ενισχυσεν αυτους εις την υπηρεσιαν του οικου του Κυριου?	2 And he appointed the priests in their offices, and he exhorted them to minister in the house of the Lord.
3 και ειπε προς τους Λευιτας τους διδασκοντας παντα τον Ισραηλ, τους καθιερωμενους εις τον Κυριον, Θεσατε την κιβωτον την αγιαν εν τω οικω, τον οποιον ωκοδομησε Σολομων ο υιος Δαβιδ του βασιλεως του Ισραηλ? δεν θελετε βασταζει πλεον αυτην επ' ωμων? δουλευετε τωρα Κυριον τον Θεον σας και τον λαον αυτου τον 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 κατα τους οικους των πατριων σας, κατα τας διαιρεσεις σας, κατα το γεγραμμενον Δαβιδ του βασιλεως του Ισραηλ, και κατα το γεγραμμενον Σολομωντος του 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 αγιαστηριω κατα τας διαιρεσεις των οικων των πατριων υπερ των αδελφων σας των υιων του λαου, και κατα την διαιρεσιν των οικων των πατριων των Λευιτων.	5 And minister in the sanctuary, by the Levitical families and companies.
6 Και θυσιασατε το πασχα και αγιασθητε και ετοιμασατε αυτο εις τους αδελφους σας, δια να καμωσι κατα τον λογον του Κυριου, τον δοθεντα δια χειρος του Μωυσεως.	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 προσεφερεν ο Ιωσιας εις τον λαον προβατα, αρνια και εριφια αιγων, τα παντα δια θυσιας του πασχα, δια παντας τους παρευρεθεντας, τριακοντα χιλιαδας τον αριθμον, και τρισχιλιους βοας? ταυτα ησαν εκ των υπαρχοντων 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 προσεφεραν αυτοπροαιρετως εις τον λαον, εις τους ιερεις, και εις τους Λευιτας. Ο Χελκιας και ο Ζαχαριας και ο Ιεχιηλ, οι αρχοντες του οικου του Θεου εδωκαν εις τους ιερεις, δια τας θυσιας του πασχα, δισχιλια και εξακοσια αρνια και εριφια, και τριακοσιους βοας.	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 ο Χωνανιας και Σεμαιας και Ναθανιηλ, οι αδελφοι αυτου, και Ασαβιας και Ιειηλ και Ιωζαβαδ, αρχοντες των Λευιτων, προσεφεραν εις τους Λευιτας, δια θυσιας του πασχα, πεντακισχιλια αρνια και εριφια και πεντακοσιους βοας.	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 ητοιμασθη η υπηρεσια, και οι ιερεις εσταθησαν εν τω τοπω αυτων και οι Λευιται εις τας διαιρεσεις αυτων, κατα την προσταγην 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 εθυσιασαν το πασχα και ερραντισαν οι ιερεις το αιμα εκ της χειρος αυτων, και οι Λευιται εξεδειραν τα θυματα.	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 διηρεσαν τα ολοκαυτωματα, δια να δωσωσιν αυτα κατα τας διαιρεσεις των οικων των πατριων του λαου, δια να προσφερωσιν εις τον Κυριον, κατα το γεγραμμενον εν τω βιβλιω του Μωυσεως? και ωσαυτως περι των βοων.	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 εψησαν το πασχα εν πυρι, κατα το διατεταγμενον? τα δε αγια εψησαν εις χυτρας και εις λεβητας και εις κακαβια, και διεμοιρασαν ταχεως μεταξυ παντος 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 επειτα ητοιμασαν εις εαυτους και εις τους ιερεις? διοτι οι ιερεις οι υιοι Ααρων κατεγινοντο εις το να προσφερωσι τα ολοκαυτωματα και τα στεατα μεχρι νυκτος? δια τουτο οι Λευιται ητοιμασαν εις εαυτους και εις τους ιερεις τους υιους 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 οι υιοι του Ασαφ ησαν εν τω τοπω αυτων, κατα την διαταγην του Δαβιδ και του Ασαφ και του Αιμαν και του Ιεδουθουν, του βλεποντος του βασιλεως, και οι πυλωροι εφυλαττον εν εκαστη πυλη? δεν ητο χρεια να απομακρυνθωσιν απο της υπηρεσιας αυτων? διοτι οι αδελφοι αυτων οι Λευιται ητοιμασαν δι' αυτους.	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 ητοιμασθη πασα η υπηρεσια του Κυριου την αυτην ημεραν, δια να καμωσι το πασχα και να προσφερωσιν ολοκαυτωματα επι του θυσιαστηριου του Κυριου, κατα την προσταγην 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 οι υιοι Ισραηλ οι παρευρεθεντες εκαμον το πασχα 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 δεν εγεινε πασχα ως εκεινο εν τω Ισραηλ, απο των ημερων Σαμουηλ του προφητου? ουδε εκαμον παντες οι βασιλεις του Ισραηλ ως το πασχα, το οποιον εκαμεν ο Ιωσιας και οι ιερεις και οι Λευιται και πας ο Ιουδας και ο Ισραηλ οι παρευρεθεντες, και οι κατοικοι της Ιερουσαλημ.	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 Εν τω δεκατω ογδοω ετει της βασιλειας του Ιωσια εγεινε το πασχα τουτο.	19 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah, this Passover was celebrated.
20 Μετα δε ταυτα παντα, αφου ο Ιωσιας ητοιμασε τον οικον, ανεβη Νεχαω ο βασιλευς της Αιγυπτου δια να πολεμηση εν Χαρκεμις επι τον Ευφρατην? και εξηλθεν ο Ιωσιας εναντιον αυτου.	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 Απεστειλε δε μηνυτας προς αυτον, λεγων, Τι ειναι μεταξυ εμου και σου, βασιλευ του Ιουδα; δεν ερχομαι σημερον εναντιον σου, αλλ' εναντιον του οικου, με τον οποιον εχω πολεμον? και ο Θεος προσεταξεν εις εμε να σπευσω? απεχε απο του Θεου, οστις ειναι μετ' εμου, και να μη σε εξολοθρευση.	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 Πλην ο Ιωσιας δεν απεστρεψε το προσωπον αυτου απ' αυτου? αλλα μετεσχηματισθη, δια να πολεμηση εναντιον αυτου, και δεν εισηκουσεν εις τους λογους του Νεχαω, τους εκ στοματος του Θεου, και ηλθε να πολεμηση εν τη κοιλαδι Μεγιδδω.	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 τον βασιλεα Ιωσιαν? και ειπεν ο βασιλευς προς τους δουλους αυτου, Εκβαλετε με εξω, διοτι επληγωθην βαρεως.	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 εξεβαλον αυτον οι δουλοι αυτου εκ της αμαξης, και επεβιβασαν αυτον εις την δευτεραν αυτου αμαξαν? και εφεραν αυτον εις Ιερουσαλημ, και απεθανε? και εταφη εν τοις ταφοις των πατερων αυτου. Και πας ο Ιουδας και η Ιερουσαλημ επενθησαν επι τον 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 ο Ιερεμιας δια τον Ιωσιαν? και παντες οι ψαλται και αι ψαλτριαι αναφερουσιν εως της σημερον εις τους θρηνους αυτων τον Ιωσιαν, και εκαμον αυτους νομιμον εν τω Ισραηλ? και ιδου, ειναι γεγραμμενοι εν τοις Θρηνοις.	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 Αι δε λοιπαι πραξεις του Ιωσια και τα ελεη αυτου, κατα το γεγραμμενον εν τω νομω του Κυριου,	26 Now the rest of the words of Josiah, and his mercies, which were instructed by the law of the Lord,
27 και τα εργα αυτου, τα πρωτα και τα εσχατα, ιδου, ειναι γεγραμμενα εν τω βιβλιω των βασιλεων του Ισραηλ και του Ιουδα.	27 and also his works, the first and the last, have been written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
