2 Chronicles 30

DOUAI-RHEIMS	LXX
1 And Ezechias sent to all Israel and Juda: and he wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasses, that they should come to the house of the Lord in Jerusalem, and keep the phase to the Lord the God of Israel.	1 και απεστειλεν εζεκιας επι παντα ισραηλ και ιουδαν και επιστολας εγραψεν επι τον εφραιμ και μανασση ελθειν εις οικον κυριου εις ιερουσαλημ ποιησαι το φασεκ τω κυριω θεω ισραηλ
	2 και εβουλευσατο ο βασιλευς και οι αρχοντες και πασα η εκκλησια η εν ιερουσαλημ ποιησαι το φασεκ τω μηνι τω δευτερω
3 For the king, taking counsel, and the princes, and all the assembly of Jerusalem, decreed to keep the phase the second month.	3 ου γαρ ηδυνασθησαν αυτο ποιησαι εν τω καιρω εκεινω οτι οι ιερεις ουχ ηγνισθησαν ικανοι και ο λαος ου συνηχθη εις ιερουσαλημ
4 For they could not keep it in its time; because there were not priests enough sanctified, and the people was not as yet gathered together to Jerusalem.	4 και ηρεσεν ο λογος εναντιον του βασιλεως και εναντιον της εκκλησιας
5 And the thing pleased the king, and all the people.	5 και εστησαν λογον διελθειν κηρυγμα εν παντι ισραηλ απο βηρσαβεε εως δαν ελθοντας ποιησαι το φασεκ κυριω θεω ισραηλ εν ιερουσαλημ οτι πληθος ουκ εποιησεν κατα την γραφην
6 And they decreed to send messengers to all Israel from Bersabee even to Dan, that they should come, and keep the phase to the Lord the God of Israel in Jerusalem: for many had not kept it as it is prescribed by the law.	6 και επορευθησαν οι τρεχοντες συν ταις επιστολαις παρα του βασιλεως και των αρχοντων εις παντα ισραηλ και ιουδαν κατα το προσταγμα του βασιλεως λεγοντες υιοι ισραηλ επιστρεψατε προς θεον αβρααμ και ισαακ και ισραηλ και επιστρεψει τους ανασεσωσμενους τους καταλειφθεντας απο χειρος βασιλεως ασσουρ
7 And the posts went with letters by commandment of the king, and his princes, to all Israel and Juda, proclaiming according to the king's orders: Ye children of Israel, turn again to the Lord the God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Israel: and he will return to the remnant of you that have escaped the hand of the king of the Assyrians.	7 και μη γινεσθε καθως οι πατερες υμων και οι αδελφοι υμων οι απεστησαν απο κυριου θεου πατερων αυτων και παρεδωκεν αυτους εις ερημωσιν καθως υμεις ορατε
8 Be not like your fathers, and brethren, who departed from the Lord the God of their fathers, and he hath given them up to destruction, as you see.	8 και νυν μη σκληρυνητε τους τραχηλους υμων δοτε δοξαν κυριω τω θεω και εισελθατε εις το αγιασμα αυτου ο ηγιασεν εις τον αιωνα και δουλευσατε τω κυριω θεω υμων και αποστρεψει αφ' υμων θυμον οργης
9 Harden not your necks, as your fathers did: yield yourselves to the Lord, and come to his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified for ever: serve the Lord the God of your fathers, and the wrath of his indignation shall be turned away from you.	9 οτι εν τω επιστρεφειν υμας προς κυριον οι αδελφοι υμων και τα τεκνα υμων εσονται εν οικτιρμοις εναντι παντων των αιχμαλωτισαντων αυτους και αποστρεψει εις την γην ταυτην οτι ελεημων και οικτιρμων κυριος ο θεος ημων και ουκ αποστρεψει το προσωπον αυτου αφ' ημων εαν επιστρεψωμεν προς αυτον
10 For if you turn again to the Lord: your brethren, and children shall find mercy before their masters, that have led them away captive, and they shall return into this land: for the Lord your God is merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if you return to him.	10 και ησαν οι τρεχοντες διαπορευομενοι πολιν εκ πολεως εν τω ορει εφραιμ και μανασση και εως ζαβουλων και εγενοντο ως καταγελωντες αυτων και καταμωκωμενοι
11 So the posts went speedily from city to city, through the land of Ephraim, and of Manasses, even to ZabuloI	11 αλλα ανθρωποι ασηρ και απο μανασση και απο ζαβουλων ενετραπησαν και ηλθον εις ιερουσαλημ
12 Nevertheless some men of Aser, and of Manasses, and of Zabulon, yielding to the counsel, came to Jerusalem.	12 και εν ιουδα εγενετο χειρ κυριου δουναι αυτοις καρδιαν μιαν ελθειν του ποιησαι κατα το προσταγμα του βασιλεως και των αρχοντων εν λογω κυριου
13 But the hand of God was in Juda, to give them one heart to do the word of the Lord, according to the commandment of the king, and of the princes.	13 και συνηχθησαν εις ιερουσαλημ λαος πολυς του ποιησαι την εορτην των αζυμων εν τω μηνι τω δευτερω εκκλησια πολλη σφοδρα
14 And much people were assembled to Jerusalem to celebrate the solemnity of the unleavened bread in the second month:	14 και ανεστησαν και καθειλαν τα θυσιαστηρια τα εν ιερουσαλημ και παντα εν οις εθυμιωσαν τοις ψευδεσιν κατεσπασαν και ερριψαν εις τον χειμαρρουν κεδρων
15 And they arose and destroyed the altars that were in Jerusalem, and took sway all things in which incense was burnt to idols, and cast them into the torrent Cedron.	15 και εθυσαν το φασεκ τη τεσσαρεσκαιδεκατη του μηνος του δευτερου και οι ιερεις και οι λευιται ενετραπησαν και ηγνισθησαν και εισηνεγκαν ολοκαυτωματα εις οικον κυριου
16 And they immolated the phase on the fourteenth day of the second month. And the priests and the Levites being at length sanctified offered holocausts in the house of the Lord.	16 και εστησαν επι την στασιν αυτων κατα το κριμα αυτων κατα την εντολην μωυση ανθρωπου του θεου και οι ιερεις εδεχοντο τα αιματα εκ χειρος των λευιτων
17 And they stood in their order according to the disposition, and law of Moses the man of God: but the priests received the blood which was to be poured out, from the hands of the Levites,	17 οτι πληθος της εκκλησιας ουχ ηγνισθη και οι λευιται ησαν του θυειν το φασεκ παντι τω μη δυναμενω αγνισθηναι τω κυριω
18 Because a great number was not sanctified: and therefore the Levites immolated the phase for them that came not in time to be sanctified to the Lord.	18 οτι το πλειστον του λαου απο εφραιμ και μανασση και ισσαχαρ και ζαβουλων ουχ ηγνισθησαν αλλα εφαγον το φασεκ παρα την γραφην και προσηυξατο εζεκιας περι αυτων λεγων κυριος ο αγαθος εξιλασασθω υπερ
19 For a great part of the people from Ephraim, and Manasses, and Issachar, and Zabulon, that had not been sanctified, ate the phase otherwise than it is written: and Ezechias prayed for them, saying: The Lord who is good will shew mercy,	19 πασης καρδιας κατευθυνουσης εκζητησαι κυριον τον θεον των πατερων αυτων και ου κατα την αγνειαν των αγιων
20 To all them, who with their whole heart, seek the Lord the God of their fathers: and will not impute it to them that they are not sanctified.	20 και επηκουσεν κυριος τω εζεκια και ιασατο τον λαον
21 And the Lord heard him, and was merciful to the people.	21 και εποιησαν οι υιοι ισραηλ οι ευρεθεντες εν ιερουσαλημ την εορτην των αζυμων επτα ημερας εν ευφροσυνη μεγαλη και καθυμνουντες τω κυριω ημεραν καθ' ημεραν και οι ιερεις και οι λευιται εν οργανοις τω κυριω
22 And the children of Israel, that were found at Jerusalem, kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great joy, praising the Lord every day: the Levites also, and the priests, with instruments that agreed to their office.	22 και ελαλησεν εζεκιας επι πασαν καρδιαν των λευιτων και των συνιοντων συνεσιν αγαθην τω κυριω και συνετελεσαν την εορτην των αζυμων επτα ημερας θυοντες θυσιας σωτηριου και εξομολογουμενοι τω κυριω θεω των πατερων αυτων
23 And Ezechias spoke to the heart of all the Levites, that had good understanding concerning the Lord: and they ate during the seven days of the solemnity, immolating victims of peace offerings, and praising the Lord the God of their fathers.	23 και εβουλευσατο η εκκλησια αμα ποιησαι επτα ημερας αλλας και εποιησαν επτα ημερας εν ευφροσυνη
24 And it pleased the whole multitude to keep other seven days: which they did with great joy.	24 οτι εζεκιας απηρξατο τω ιουδα τη εκκλησια μοσχους χιλιους και επτακισχιλια προβατα και οι αρχοντες απηρξαντο τω λαω μοσχους χιλιους και προβατα δεκα χιλιαδας και τα αγια των ιερεων εις πληθος
25 For Ezechias the king of Juda had given to the multitude a thousand bullocks, and seven thousand sheep: and the princes had given the people a thousand bullocks, and ten thousand sheep: and a great number of priests was sanctified.	25 και ηυφρανθη πασα η εκκλησια οι ιερεις και οι λευιται και πασα η εκκλησια ιουδα και οι ευρεθεντες εξ ισραηλ και οι προσηλυτοι οι ελθοντες απο γης ισραηλ και οι κατοικουντες εν ιουδα
26 And all the multitude of Juda with the priests and Levites, and all the assembly, that came out of Israel; and the proselytes of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Juda were full of joy.	26 και εγενετο ευφροσυνη μεγαλη εν ιερουσαλημ απο ημερων σαλωμων υιου δαυιδ βασιλεως ισραηλ ουκ εγενετο τοιαυτη εορτη εν ιερουσαλημ
27 And there was a great solemnity in Jerusalem, such as had not been in that city since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel.	27 και ανεστησαν οι ιερεις οι λευιται και ηυλογησαν τον λαον και επηκουσθη η φωνη αυτων και ηλθεν η προσευχη αυτων εις το κατοικητηριον το αγιον αυτου εις τον ουρανον
