2 Chronicles 7

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	LXX
1 When Solomon had ended his prayer, fire came down from heaven and consumed the holocaust and the sacrifices, and the glory of the LORD filled the house.	1 και ως συνετελεσεν σαλωμων προσευχομενος και το πυρ κατεβη εκ του ουρανου και κατεφαγεν τα ολοκαυτωματα και τας θυσιας και δοξα κυριου επλησεν τον οικον
2 But the priests could not enter the house of the LORD, for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of the LORD.	2 και ουκ ηδυναντο οι ιερεις εισελθειν εις τον οικον κυριου εν τω καιρω εκεινω οτι επλησεν δοξα κυριου τον οικον
3 All the Israelites looked on while the fire came down and the glory of the LORD was upon the house, and they fell down upon the pavement with their faces to the earth and adored, praising the LORD, "for he is good, for his mercy endures forever."	3 και παντες οι υιοι ισραηλ εωρων καταβαινον το πυρ και η δοξα κυριου επι τον οικον και επεσον επι προσωπον επι την γην επι το λιθοστρωτον και προσεκυνησαν και ηνουν τω κυριω οτι αγαθον οτι εις τον αιωνα το ελεος αυτου
4 The king and all the people were offering sacrifices before the LORD.	4 και ο βασιλευς και πας ο λαος θυοντες θυματα εναντι κυριου
5 King Solomon offered as sacrifice twenty-two thousand oxen, and one hundred twenty thousand sheep.	5 και εθυσιασεν σαλωμων την θυσιαν μοσχων εικοσι και δυο χιλιαδας και βοσκηματων εκατον και εικοσι χιλιαδας και ενεκαινισεν τον οικον του θεου ο βασιλευς και πας ο λαος
6 Thus the king and all the people dedicated the house of God. The priests were standing at their stations, as were the Levites, with the musical instruments of the LORD which King David had made for "praising the LORD, for his mercy endures forever," when David used them to accompany the hymns. Across from them the priests blew the trumpets and all Israel stood.	6 και οι ιερεις επι τας φυλακας αυτων εστηκοτες και οι λευιται εν οργανοις ωδων κυριου του δαυιδ του βασιλεως του εξομολογεισθαι εναντι κυριου οτι εις τον αιωνα το ελεος αυτου εν υμνοις δαυιδ δια χειρος αυτων και οι ιερεις σαλπιζοντες ταις σαλπιγξιν εναντιον αυτων και πας ισραηλ εστηκως
7 Then Solomon consecrated the middle part of the court which lay before the house of the LORD; there he offered the holocausts and the fat of the peace offerings, since the bronze altar which Solomon had made could not hold the holocausts, the cereal offerings and the fat.	7 και ηγιασεν σαλωμων το μεσον της αυλης της εν οικω κυριου οτι εποιησεν εκει τα ολοκαυτωματα και τα στεατα των σωτηριων οτι το θυσιαστηριον το χαλκουν ο εποιησεν σαλωμων ουκ εξεποιει δεξασθαι τα ολοκαυτωματα και τα μαναα και τα στεατα
8 On this occasion Solomon and with him all Israel, who had assembled in very large numbers from Labo of Hamath to the Wadi of Egypt, celebrated the festival for seven days.	8 και εποιησεν σαλωμων την εορτην εν τω καιρω εκεινω επτα ημεραις και πας ισραηλ μετ' αυτου εκκλησια μεγαλη σφοδρα απο εισοδου αιμαθ και εως χειμαρρου αιγυπτου
9 On the eighth day they held a special meeting, for they had celebrated the dedication of the altar for seven days and the feast for seven days.	9 και εποιησεν εν τη ημερα τη ογδοη εξοδιον οτι εγκαινισμον του θυσιαστηριου εποιησεν επτα ημερας εορτην
10 On the twenty-third day of the seventh month he sent the people back to their tents, rejoicing and glad at heart at the good things the LORD had done for David, for Solomon, and for his people Israel.	10 και εν τη τριτη και εικοστη του μηνος του εβδομου απεστειλεν τον λαον εις τα σκηνωματα αυτων ευφραινομενους και αγαθη καρδια επι τοις αγαθοις οις εποιησεν κυριος τω δαυιδ και τω σαλωμων και τω ισραηλ λαω αυτου
11 Solomon completed the house of the LORD and the royal palace; he successfully accomplished everything he had planned to do in regard to the house of the LORD and his own house.	11 και συνετελεσεν σαλωμων τον οικον κυριου και τον οικον του βασιλεως και παντα οσα ηθελησεν εν τη ψυχη σαλωμων του ποιησαι εν οικω κυριου και εν οικω αυτου ευοδωθη
12 The LORD appeared to Solomon during the night and said to him: "I have heard your prayer, and I have chosen this place for my house of sacrifice.	12 και ωφθη ο θεος τω σαλωμων την νυκτα και ειπεν αυτω ηκουσα της προσευχης σου και εξελεξαμην εν τω τοπω τουτω εμαυτω εις οικον θυσιας
13 If I close heaven so that there is no rain, if I command the locust to devour the land, if I send pestilence among my people,	13 εαν συσχω τον ουρανον και μη γενηται υετος και εαν εντειλωμαι τη ακριδι καταφαγειν το ξυλον και εαν αποστειλω θανατον εν τω λαω μου
14 and if my people, upon whom my name has been pronounced, humble themselves and pray, and seek my presence and turn from their evil ways, I will hear them from heaven and pardon their sins and revive their land.	14 και εαν εντραπη ο λαος μου εφ' ους το ονομα μου επικεκληται επ' αυτους και προσευξωνται και ζητησωσιν το προσωπον μου και αποστρεψωσιν απο των οδων αυτων των πονηρων και εγω εισακουσομαι εκ του ουρανου και ιλεως εσομαι ταις αμαρτιαις αυτων και ιασομαι την γην αυτων
15 Now my eyes shall be open and my ears attentive to the prayer of this place.	15 νυν οι οφθαλμοι μου εσονται ανεωγμενοι και τα ωτα μου επηκοα τη προσευχη του τοπου τουτου
16 And now I have chosen and consecrated this house that my name may be there forever; my eyes and my heart also shall be there always.	16 και νυν εξελεξαμην και ηγιακα τον οικον τουτον του ειναι ονομα μου εκει εως αιωνος και εσονται οι οφθαλμοι μου και η καρδια μου εκει πασας τας ημερας
17 "As for you, if you live in my presence as your father David did, doing all that I have commanded you and keeping my statutes and ordinances,	17 και συ εαν πορευθης εναντιον μου ως δαυιδ ο πατηρ σου και ποιησης κατα παντα α ενετειλαμην σοι και τα προσταγματα μου και τα κριματα μου φυλαξη
18 I will establish your royal throne as I covenanted with your father David when I said, 'There shall never be lacking someone of yours as ruler in Israel.'	18 και αναστησω τον θρονον της βασιλειας σου ως διεθεμην δαυιδ τω πατρι σου λεγων ουκ εξαρθησεται σοι ανηρ ηγουμενος εν ισραηλ
19 But if you turn away and forsake my statutes and commands which I placed before you, if you proceed to venerate and worship strange gods,	19 και εαν αποστρεψητε υμεις και εγκαταλιπητε τα προσταγματα μου και τας εντολας μου ας εδωκα εναντιον υμων και πορευθητε και λατρευσητε θεοις ετεροις και προσκυνησητε αυτοις
20 then I will uproot the people from the land I gave them; I will cast from my sight this house which I have consecrated to my honor, and I will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples.	20 και εξαρω υμας απο της γης ης εδωκα αυτοις και τον οικον τουτον ον ηγιασα τω ονοματι μου αποστρεψω εκ προσωπου μου και δωσω αυτον εις παραβολην και εις διηγημα εν πασιν τοις εθνεσιν
21 This temple which is so exalted--everyone passing by it will be amazed and ask: 'Why has the LORD done this to this land and to this house?'	21 και ο οικος ουτος ο υψηλος πας ο διαπορευομενος αυτον εκστησεται και ερει χαριν τινος εποιησεν κυριος τη γη ταυτη και τω οικω τουτω
22 And men will answer: 'They forsook the LORD, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and they adopted strange gods and worshiped them and served them. That is why he has brought down upon them all this evil.'"	22 και ερουσιν διοτι εγκατελιπον κυριον τον θεον των πατερων αυτων τον εξαγαγοντα αυτους εκ γης αιγυπτου και αντελαβοντο θεων ετερων και προσεκυνησαν αυτοις και εδουλευσαν αυτοις δια τουτο επηγαγεν επ' αυτους πασαν την κακιαν ταυτην
