1
Hezekiah began to reign when he was five and twenty years old, and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.
Καὶ Ἐζεκίας ἐβασίλευσεν ὢν εἴκοσι καὶ πέντε ἐτῶν, καὶ εἴκοσι ἐννέα ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ ὄνομα τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ Ἀβιὰ, θυγάτηρ Ζαχαρίου.
2
And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that David his father had done.
Καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ εὐθὲς ἐνώπιον Κυρίου κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησε Δαυὶδ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ.
3
He in the first year of his reign, in the first month, opened the doors of the house of the Lord, and repaired them.
Καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἔστη ἐπὶ τῆς βασιλείας αὐτοῦ, ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ πρώτῳ ἀνέῳξε τὰς θύρας οἴκου Κυρίου καὶ ἐπεσκεύασεν αὐτάς.
4
And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them together into the east street,
Καὶ εἰσήγαγε τοὺς ἱερεῖς καὶ τοὺς Λευίτας, καὶ κατέστησεν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸ κλίτος τὸ πρὸς ἀνατολὰς,
5
And said unto them, Hear me, ye Levites, sanctify now yourselves, and sanctify the house of the Lord God of your fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the holy place.
καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, ἀκούσατε οἱ Λευῖται· νῦν ἁγνίσθητε, καὶ ἁγνίσατε τὸν οἶκον Κυρίου Θεοῦ τῶν πατέρων ὑμῶν, καὶ ἐκβάλετε τὴν ἀκαθαρσίαν ἐκ τῶν ἁγίων·
6
For our fathers have trespassed, and done that which was evil in the eyes of the Lord our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of the Lord, and turned their backs.
Ὅτι ἀπέστησαν οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν, καὶ ἐποίησαν τὸ πονηρὸν ἐναντίον Κυρίου Θεοῦ ἡμῶν, καὶ ἐγκατέλιπαν αὐτὸν, καὶ ἀπέστρεψαν τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτῶν ἀπὸ τῆς σκηνῆς Κυρίου, καὶ ἔδωκαν αὐχένα,
7
Also they have shut up the doors of the porch, and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense nor offered burnt offerings in the holy place unto the God of Israel.
καὶ ἀπέκλεισαν τὰς θύρας τοῦ ναοῦ, καὶ ἔσβεσαν τοὺς λύχνους, καὶ θυμίαμα οὐκ ἐθυμίασαν, καὶ ὁλοκαυτώματα οὐ προσήνεγκαν ἐν τῷ ἁγίῳ Θεῷ Ἰσραήλ.
8
Wherefore the wrath of the Lord was upon Judah and Jerusalem, and he hath delivered them to trouble, to astonishment, and to hissing, as ye see with your eyes.
Καὶ ὠργίσθη ὀργῇ Κύριος ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰούδαν καὶ τὴν Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτοὺς εἰς ἔκστασιν καὶ εἰς ἀφανισμὸν καὶ εἰς συρισμὸν ὡς ὑμεῖς ὁρᾶτε τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς ὑμῶν.
9
For, lo, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this.
Καὶ ἰδοὺ πεπλήγασιν οἱ πατέρες ὑμῶν ἐν μαχαίρᾳ, καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ ὑμῶν καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες ὑμῶν καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες ὑμῶν ἐν αἰχμαλωσίᾳ ἐν γῇ οὐκ αὐτῶν, ὃ καὶ νῦν ἐστιν.
10
Now it is in mine heart to make a covenant with the Lord God of Israel, that his fierce wrath may turn away from us.
Ἐπὶ τούτοις νῦν ἐστιν ἐπὶ καρδίας διαθέσθαι διαθήκην μου, διαθήκην Κυρίου Θεοῦ Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἀποστρέψει τὴν ὀργὴν τοῦ θυμοῦ αὐτοῦ ἀφʼ ἡμῶν.
11
My sons, be not now negligent: for the Lord hath chosen you to stand before him, to serve him, and that ye should minister unto him, and burn incense.
Καὶ νῦν μὴ διαλίπητε, ὅτι ἐν ὑμῖν ᾑρέτικε Κύριος στῆναι ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ λειτουργεῖν, καὶ εἶναι αὐτῷ λειτουργοῦντας καὶ θυμιῶντας.
12
Then the Levites arose, Mahath the son of Amasai, and Joel the son of Azariah, of the sons of the Kohathites: and of the sons of Merari, Kish the son of Abdi, and Azariah the son of Jehalelel: and of the Gershonites; Joah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joah:
Καὶ ἀνέστησαν οἱ Λευῖται, Μαὰθ ὁ τοῦ Ἀμασὶ, καὶ Ἰωὴλ ὁ τοῦ Ἀζαρίου ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν Καάθ· καὶ ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν Μεραρὶ, Κὶς ὁ τοῦ Ἀβδὶ, καὶ Ἀζαρίας ὁ τοῦ Ἰλαελήλ· καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Γεδσωνὶ, Ἰωδαὰδ ὁ τοῦ Ζεμμὰθ, καὶ Ἰωαδάμ· οὗτοι υἱοὶ Ἰωαχά.
13
And of the sons of Elizaphan; Shimri, and Jeiel: and of the sons of Asaph; Zechariah, and Mattaniah:
Καὶ τῶν υἱῶν Ἐλισαφὰν, Ζαμβρὶ, καὶ Ἰεϊήλ· καὶ τῶν υἱῶν Ἀσὰφ, Ζαχαρίας καὶ Ματθανίας·
14
And of the sons of Heman; Jehiel, and Shimei: and of the sons of Jeduthun; Shemaiah, and Uzziel.
Καὶ τῶν υἱῶν Αἰμὰν, Ἰεϊὴλ καὶ Σεμεΐ· καὶ τῶν υἱῶν Ἰδιθοὺν, Σαμαίας, καὶ Ὀζιήλ.
15
And they gathered their brethren, and sanctified themselves, and came, according to the commandment of the king, by the words of the Lord, to cleanse the house of the Lord.
Καὶ συνήγαγον τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτῶν, καὶ ἡγνίσθησαν κατὰ τὴν ἐντολὴν τοῦ βασιλέως διὰ προστάγματος Κυρίου, καθαρίσαι τὸν οἶκον Κυρίου.
16
And the priests went into the inner part of the house of the Lord, to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of the Lord into the court of the house of the Lord. And the Levites took it, to carry it out abroad into the brook Kidron.
Καὶ εἰσῆλθον οἱ ἱερεῖς ἔσω εἰς τὸν οἶκον Κυρίου ἁγνίσαι, καὶ ἐξέβαλον πᾶσαν τὴν ἀκαθαρσίαν τὴν εὑρεθεῖσαν ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ Κυρίου, καὶ εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν οἴκου Κυρίου· καὶ ἐδέξαντο οἱ Λευῖται ἐκβαλεῖν εἰς τὸν χειμάῤῥουν Κέδρων ἔξω.
17
Now they began on the first day of the first month to sanctify, and on the eighth day of the month came they to the porch of the Lord: so they sanctified the house of the Lord in eight days; and in the sixteenth day of the first month they made an end.
Καὶ ἤρξατο τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ πρώτῃ νουμηνίᾳ τοῦ πρώτου μηνὸς ἁγνίσαι, καὶ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ὀγδόῃ τοῦ μηνὸς εἰσῆλθαν εἰς τὸν ναὸν Κυρίου, καὶ ἥγνισαν τὸν οἶκον Κυρίου ἐν ἡμέραις ὀκτὼ, καὶ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρισκαιδεκάτῃ τοῦ μηνὸς τοῦ πρώτου συνετέλεσαν.
18
Then they went in to Hezekiah the king, and said, We have cleansed all the house of the Lord, and the altar of burnt offering, with all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread table, with all the vessels thereof.
Καὶ εἰσῆλθαν ἔσω πρὸς Ἐξεκίαν τὸν βασιλέα, καὶ εἶπαν, ἡγνίσαμεν πάντα τὰ ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου, τὸ θυσιαστήριον τῆς ὁλοκαυτώσεως καὶ τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὴν τράπεζαν τῆς προθέσεως καὶ τὰ σκεύη αὐτῆς,
19
Moreover all the vessels, which king Ahaz in his reign did cast away in his transgression, have we prepared and sanctified, and, behold, they are before the altar of the Lord.
καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη ἃ ἐμίανεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἄχαζ ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ ἀποστασίᾳ αὐτοῦ, ἡτοιμάκαμεν καὶ ἡγνίσαμεν· ἰδού ἐστιν ἐναντίον τοῦ θυσιαστήριου Κυρίου.
20
Then Hezekiah the king rose early, and gathered the rulers of the city, and went up to the house of the Lord.
Καὶ ὤρθρισεν Ἐζεκίας ὁ βασιλεὺς, καὶ συνήγαγε τοὺς ἄρχοντας τῆς πόλεως, καὶ ἀνέβη εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου.
21
And they brought seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven he goats, for a sin offering for the kingdom, and for the sanctuary, and for Judah. And he commanded the priests the sons of Aaron to offer them on the altar of the Lord.
Καὶ ἀνήνεγκε μόσχους ἑπτὰ, κριοὺς ἑπτὰ, ἀμνοὺς ἑπτὰ, χιμάρους αἰγῶν ἑπτὰ περὶ ἁμαρτίας, περὶ τῆς βασιλείας, καὶ περὶ τῶν ἁγίων, καὶ περὶ Ἰσραήλ· καὶ εἶπε τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἀαρὼν τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν ἀναβαίνειν ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον Κυρίου.
22
So they killed the bullocks, and the priests received the blood, and sprinkled it on the altar: likewise, when they had killed the rams, they sprinkled the blood upon the altar: they killed also the lambs, and they sprinkled the blood upon the altar.
Καὶ ἔθυσαν τοὺς μόσχους, καὶ ἐδέξαντο οἱ ἱερεῖς τὸ αἷμα, καὶ προσέχεαν ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον· καὶ ἔθυσαν τοὺς κριοὺς, καὶ προσέχεαν τὸ αἷμα ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον· καὶ ἔθυσαν τοὺς ἀμνοὺς, καὶ περιέχεον τὸ αἷμα τῷ θυσιαστηρίῳ.
23
And they brought forth the he goats for the sin offering before the king and the congregation; and they laid their hands upon them:
Καὶ προσήγαγον τοὺς χιμάρους τοὺς περὶ ἁμαρτίας ἐναντίον τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τῆς ἐκκλησίας, καὶ ἐπέθηκαν τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν ἐπʼ αὐτούς.
24
And the priests killed them, and they made reconciliation with their blood upon the altar, to make an atonement for all Israel: for the king commanded that the burnt offering and the sin offering should be made for all Israel.
Καὶ ἔθυσαν αὐτοὺς οἱ ἱερεῖς, καὶ ἐξιλάσαντο τὸ αἷμα αὐτῶν πρὸς τὸ θυσιαστήριον, καὶ ἐξιλάσαντο περὶ παντὸς Ἰσραὴλ, ὅτι εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς, περὶ παντὸς Ἰσραὴλ ἡ ὁλοκαύτωσις, καὶ τὰ περὶ ἁμαρτίας.
25
And he set the Levites in the house of the Lord with cymbals, with psalteries, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, and of Gad the king’s seer, and Nathan the prophet: for so was the commandment of the Lord by his prophets.
Καὶ ἔστησε τοὺς Λευίτας ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου ἐν κυμβάλοις, καὶ ἐν νάβλαις, καὶ ἐν κινύραις κατὰ τὴν ἐντολὴν Δαυὶδ τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ Γὰδ τοῦ ὁρῶντος τῷ βασιλεῖ, καὶ Νάθαν τοῦ προφήτου, ὅτι διὰ ἐντολῆς Κυρίου τὸ πρόσταγμα ἐν χειρὶ τῶν προφητῶν.
26
And the Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.
Καὶ ἔστησαν οἱ Λευῖται ἐν ὀργάνοις Δαυὶδ, καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς ταῖς σάλπιγξι.
27
And Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt offering upon the altar. And when the burnt offering began, the song of the Lord began also with the trumpets, and with the instruments ordained by David king of Israel.
Καὶ εἶπεν Ἐζεκίας ἀνένεγκαι τὴν ὁλοκαύτωσιν ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον· καὶ ἐν τῷ ἄρξασθαι ἀναφέρειν τὴν ὁλοκαύτωσιν, ἤρξαντο ᾄδειν Κυρίῳ, καὶ σάλπιγγες πρὸς τὰ ὄργανα Δαυὶδ βασιλέως Ἰσραήλ.
28
And all the congregation worshipped, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded: and all this continued until the burnt offering was finished.
Καὶ πᾶσα ἡ ἐκκλησία προσεκύνει, καὶ οἱ ψαλτῳδοὶ ᾄδοντες, καὶ σάλπιγγες σαλπίζουσαι ἕως οὗ συνετελέσθη ἡ ὁλοκαύτωσις.
29
And when they had made an end of offering, the king and all that were present with him bowed themselves, and worshipped.
Καὶ ὡς συνετέλεσαν ἀναφέροντες, ἔκαμψεν ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ πάντες οἱ εὑρεθέντες, καὶ προσεκύνησαν.
30
Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praise unto the Lord with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshipped.
Καὶ εἶπεν Ἐζεκίας ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες τοῖς Λευίταις, ὑμνεῖν τὸν Κύριον ἐν λόγοις Δαυὶδ καὶ Ἀσὰφ τοῦ προφήτου· καὶ ὕμνουν ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ, καὶ ἔπεσον καὶ προσεκύνησαν.
31
Then Hezekiah answered and said, Now ye have consecrated yourselves unto the Lord, come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into the house of the Lord. And the congregation brought in sacrifices and thank offerings; and as many as were of a free heart burnt offerings.
Καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Ἐζεκίας, καὶ εἶπε, νῦν ἐπληρώσατε τὰς χεῖρας ὑμῶν Κυρίῳ, προσαγάγετε καὶ φέρετε θυσίας αἰνέσεως εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου· καὶ ἀνήνεγκεν ἡ ἐκκλησία θυσίας καὶ αἰνέσεις εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου, καὶ πᾶς πρόθυμος τῇ καρδίᾳ ὁλοκαυτώσεις.
32
And the number of the burnt offerings, which the congregation brought, was threescore and ten bullocks, an hundred rams, and two hundred lambs: all these were for a burnt offering to the Lord.
Καὶ ἐγένετο ὁ ἀριθμὸς τῆς ὁλοκαυτώσεως ἧς ἀνήνεγκεν ἡ ἐκκλησία, μόσχοι ἑβδομήκοντα, κριοὶ ἑκατὸν, ἀμνοὶ διακόσιοι· εἰς ὁλοκαύτωσιν Κυρίῳ πάντα ταῦτα.
33
And the consecrated things were six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep.
Καὶ οἱ ἠγιασμένοι μόσχοι ἑξακόσιοι, πρόβατα τρισχίλια.
34
But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all the burnt offerings: wherefore their brethren the Levites did help them, till the work was ended, and until the other priests had sanctified themselves: for the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests.
Ἀλλʼ ἢ οἱ ἱερεῖς ἦσαν ὀλίγοι, καὶ οὐκ ἠδύναντο ἐκδεῖραι τὴν ὁλοκαύτωσιν, καὶ ἀντελάβοντο αὐτῶν οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτῶν οἱ Λευῖται ἕως οὗ συνετελέσθη τὸ ἔργον, καὶ ἕως οὗ ἡγνίσθησαν οἱ ἱερεῖς· ὅτι οἱ Λευῖται προθύμως ἥγνισαν παρὰ τοὺς ἱερεῖς.
35
And also the burnt offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace offerings, and the drink offerings for every burnt offering. So the service of the house of the Lord was set in order.
Καὶ ἡ ὁλοκαύτωσις πολλὴ ἐν τοῖς στέασι τῆς τελειώσεως τοῦ σωτηρίου καὶ τῶν σπονδῶν τῆς ὁλοκαυτώσεως· καὶ κατωρθώθη τὸ ἔργον ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου.
36
And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, that God had prepared the people: for the thing was done suddenly.
Καὶ ηὐφράνθη Ἐζεκίας καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς, διὰ τὸ ἡτοιμακέναι τὸν Θεὸν τῷ λαῷ, ὅτι ἐξάπινα ἐγένετο ὁ λόγος.
