1
And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, to keep the passover unto the Lord God of Israel.
Καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ἐζεκίας ἐπὶ πάντα Ἰσραὴλ καὶ Ἰούδα, καὶ ἐπιστολὰς ἔγραψεν ἐπὶ τὸν Ἐφραὶμ καὶ Μανασσῆ, ἐλθεῖν εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου, εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ, ποιῆσαι τὸ φασὲκ τῷ Κυρίῳ Θεῷ Ἰσραήλ.
2
For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, to keep the passover in the second month.
Καὶ ἐβουλεύσατο ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες καὶ πᾶσα ἡ ἐκκλησία ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ ποιῆσαι τὸ φασὲκ τῷ μηνὶ τῷ δευτέρῳ.
3
For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves sufficiently, neither had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem.
Οὐ γὰρ ἠδυνάσθησαν ποιῆσαι αὐτὸ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ, ὅτι οἱ ἱερεῖς οὐχ ἠγνίσθησαν ἱκανοὶ, καὶ ὁ λαὸς οὐ συνήχθη εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ.
4
And the thing pleased the king and all the congregation.
Καὶ ἤρεσεν ὁ λόγος ἐναντίον τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ἐναντίον τῆς ἐκκλησίας.
5
So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beer–sheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the passover unto the Lord God of Israel at Jerusalem: for they had not done it of a long time in such sort as it was written.
Καὶ ἔστησαν λόγον διελθεῖν κήρυγμα ἐν παντὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἀπὸ Βηρσαβεὲ ἕως Δὰν, ἐλθόντας ποιῆσαι τὸ φασὲκ Κυρίῳ Θεῷ Ἰσραὴλ εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ, ὅτι πλῆθος οὐκ ἐποίησεν κατὰ τὴν γραφήν.
6
So the posts went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, Ye children of Israel, turn again unto the Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you, that are escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.
Καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν οἱ τρέχοντες σὺν ταῖς ἐπιστολαῖς παρὰ τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τῶν ἀρχόντων εἰς πάντα Ἰσραὴλ καὶ Ἰούδαν κατὰ τὸ πρόσταγμα τοῦ βασιλέως, λέγοντες, οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἐπιστρέψατε πρὸς Κύριον Θεὸν Ἁβραὰμ καὶ Ἰσαὰκ καὶ Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἐπιστρέψατε τοὺς ἀνασεσωσμένους τοὺς καταλειφθέντας ἀπὸ χειρὸς βασιλέως Ἀσσούρ.
7
And be not ye like your fathers, and like your brethren, which trespassed against the Lord God of their fathers, who therefore gave them up to desolation, as ye see.
Καὶ μὴ γίνεσθε καθὼς οἱ πατέρες ὑμῶν καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ ὑμῶν, οἳ ἀπέστησαν ἀπὸ Κυρίου Θεοῦ πατέρων αὐτῶν, καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτοὺς εἰς ἐρήμωσιν καθὼς ὑμεῖς ὁρᾶτε.
8
Now be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves unto the Lord, and enter into his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified for ever: and serve the Lord your God, that the fierceness of his wrath may turn away from you.
Καὶ νῦν μὴ σκληρύνητε τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν ὡς οἱ πατέρες ὑμῶν, δότε δόξαν Κυρίῳ τῷ Θεῷ, καὶ εἰσέλθετε εἰς τὸ ἁγίασμα αὐτοῦ ὃ ἡγίασεν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, καὶ δουλεύσατε τῷ Κυρίῳ Θεῷ ὑμῶν, καὶ ἀποστρέψει ἀφʼ ὑμῶν θυμὸν ὀργῆς.
9
For if ye turn again unto the Lord, your brethren and your children shall find compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they shall come again into this land: for the Lord your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if ye return unto him.
Ὅτι ἐν τῷ ἐπιστρέφειν ὑμᾶς πρὸς Κύριον, οἱ ἀδελφοὶ ὑμῶν καὶ τὰ τέκνα ὑμῶν ἔσονται ἐν οἰκτιρμοῖς ἔναντι πάντων τῶν αἰχμαλωτισάντων αὐτοὺς, καὶ ἀποστρέψει εἰς τὴν γῆν ταύτην· ὅτι ἐλεήμων καὶ οἰκτίρμων Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, καὶ οὐκ ἀποστρέψει τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἀφʼ ὑμῶν, ἐὰν ἐπιστρέψωμεν πρὸς αὐτόν.
10
So the posts passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh even unto Zebulun: but they laughed them to scorn, and mocked them.
Καὶ ἦσαν οἱ τρέχοντες διαπορευόμενοι πόλιν ἐκ πόλεως ἐν τῷ ὄρει Ἐφραὶμ, καὶ Μανασσῆ, καὶ ἕως Ζαβουλών· καὶ ἐγένοντο ὡς καταγελῶντες αὐτῶν, καὶ καταμωκώμενοι.
11
Nevertheless divers of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem.
Ἀλλὰ ἄνθρωποι Ἀσὴρ καὶ ἀπὸ Μανασσῆ καὶ ἀπὸ Ζαβουλὼν ἐνετράπησαν, καὶ ἦλθον εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ εἰς Ἰούδα.
12
Also in Judah the hand of God was to give them one heart to do the commandment of the king and of the princes, by the word of the Lord.
Καὶ ἐγένετο χεὶρ Κυρίου δοῦναι αὐτοῖς καρδίαν μίαν ἐλθεῖν, τοῦ ποιῆσαι κατὰ τὰ προστάγματα τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τῶν ἀρχόντων ἐν λόγῳ Κυρίου.
13
And there assembled at Jerusalem much people to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.
Καὶ συνήχθησαν εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ λαὸς πολὺς τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὴν ἑορτὴν τῶν ἀζύμων ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ δευτέρῳ, ἐκκλησία πολλὴ σφόδρα.
14
And they arose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all the altars for incense took they away, and cast them into the brook Kidron.
Καὶ ἀνέστησαν, καὶ καθεῖλαν τὰ θυσιαστήρια τὰ ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ πάντα ἐν οἷς ἐθυμίων τοῖς ψευδέσι, κατέσπασαν καὶ ἔῤῥιψαν εἰς τὸν χειμάῤῥουν Κέδρων.
15
Then they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the second month: and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought in the burnt offerings into the house of the Lord.
Καὶ ἔθυσαν τὸ φασὲκ τῇ τεσσαρεσκαιδεκάτῃ τοῦ μηνὸς τοῦ δευτέρου· καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευῖται ἐνετράπησαν καὶ ἥγνισαν, καὶ εἰσήνεγκαν ὁλοκαυτώματα ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου.
16
And they stood in their place after their manner, according to the law of Moses the man of God: the priests sprinkled the blood, which they received of the hand of the Levites.
Καὶ ἔστησαν ἐπὶ τὴν στάσιν αὐτῶν, κατὰ τὸ κρίμα αὐτῶν, κατὰ τὴν ἐντολὴν Μωυσῆ ἀνθρώπου τοῦ Θεοῦ· καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς ἐδέχοντο τὰ αἵματα ἐκ χειρὸς τῶν Λευιτῶν.
17
For there were many in the congregation that were not sanctified: therefore the Levites had the charge of the killing of the passovers for every one that was not clean, to sanctify them unto the Lord.
Ὅτι πλῆθος τῆς ἐκκλησίας οὐχ ἡγνίσθη, καὶ οἱ Λευῖται ἦσαν τοῦ θύειν τὸ φασὲκ παντὶ τῷ μὴ δυναμένῳ ἁγνισθῆναι τῷ Κυρίῳ.
18
For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim, and Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet did they eat the passover otherwise than it was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, The good Lord pardon every one
Ὅτι πλεῖστον τοῦ λαοῦ ἀπὸ Ἐφραὶμ, καὶ Μανασσῆ, καὶ Ἰσσάχαρ, καὶ Ζαβουλὼν, οὐκ ἥγνισαν, ἀλλʼ ἔφαγον τὸ φασὲκ παρὰ τὴν γραφήν· τοῦτο καὶ προσηύξατο Ἐζεκίας περὶ αὐτῶν, λέγων, Κύριος ἀγαθὸς ἐξιλάσθω ὑπὲρ
19
That prepareth his heart to seek God, the Lord God of his fathers, though he be not cleansed according to the purification of the sanctuary.
πάσης καρδίας κατευθυνούσης ἐκζητῆσαι Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν, καὶ οὐ κατὰ τὴν ἁγνείαν τῶν ἁγίων.
20
And the Lord hearkened to Hezekiah, and healed the people.
Καὶ ἐπήκουσε Κύριος τῷ Ἐζεκίᾳ, καὶ ἰάσατο τὸν λαόν.
21
And the children of Israel that were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness: and the Levites and the priests praised the Lord day by day, singing with loud instruments unto the Lord.
Καὶ ἐποίησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ οἱ εὑρεθέντες ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ, τὴν ἑορτὴν τῶν ἀζύμων ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ μεγάλῃ, καὶ καθυμνοῦντες τῷ Κυρίῳ ἡμέραν καθʼ ἡμέραν, καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευῖται ἐν ὀργάνοις τῷ Κυρίῳ.
22
And Hezekiah spake comfortably unto all the Levites that taught the good knowledge of the Lord: and they did eat throughout the feast seven days, offering peace offerings, and making confession to the Lord God of their fathers.
Καὶ ἐλάλησεν Ἐζεκίας ἐπὶ πᾶσαν καρδίαν τῶν Λευιτῶν καὶ τῶν συνιόντων σύνεσιν ἀγαθὴν τῷ Κυρίῳ· καὶ συνετέλεσαν τὴν ἑορτὴν τῶν ἀζύμων ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας, θύοντες θυσίαν σωτηρίου, καὶ ἐξομολογούμενοι τῷ Κυρίῳ Θεῷ τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν.
23
And the whole assembly took counsel to keep other seven days: and they kept other seven days with gladness.
Καὶ ἐβουλεύσατο ἡ ἐκκλησία ἅμα ποιῆσαι ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας ἄλλας· καὶ ἐποίησαν ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ.
24
For Hezekiah king of Judah did give to the congregation a thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the congregation a thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep: and a great number of priests sanctified themselves.
Ὅτι Ἐζεκίας ἀπήρξατο τῷ Ἰούδα τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ χιλίους μόσχους καὶ ἑπτακισχίλια πρόβατα, καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες ἀπήρξαντο τῷ λαῷ μόσχους χιλίους καὶ πρόβατα δέκα χιλιάδας, καὶ τὰ ἅγια τῶν ἱερέων εἰς πλῆθος.
25
And all the congregation of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the congregation that came out of Israel, and the strangers that came out of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Judah, rejoiced.
Καὶ ηὐφράνθη πᾶσα ἡ ἐκκλήσια οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευῖται, καὶ πᾶσα ἡ ἐκκλησία Ἰούδα, καὶ οἱ εὑρεθέντες ἐξ Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ οἱ προσήλυτοι οἱ ἐλθόντες ἀπὸ γῆς Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες Ἰούδα.
26
So there was great joy in Jerusalem: for since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there was not the like in Jerusalem.
Καὶ ἐγένετο εὐφροσύνη μεγάλη ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ· ἀπὸ ἡμερῶν Σαλωμὼν υἱοῦ Δαυὶδ βασιλέως Ἰσραὴλ οὐκ ἐγένετο τοιαύτη ἑορτὴ ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ.
27
Then the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy dwelling place, even unto heaven.
Καὶ ἀνέστησαν οἱ ἱερεῖς οἱ Λευῖται καὶ εὐλόγησαν τὸν λαὸν· καὶ ἐπηκούσθη ἡ φωνὴ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἦλθεν ἡ προσευχὴ αὐτῶν εἰς τὸ κατοικητήριον τὸ ἅγιον αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν.
