Moreover Josiah kept a passover unto the Lord in Jerusalem: and they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month.

Καὶ ἐποίησεν Ἰωσίας τὸ φασὲχ τῷ Κυρίῳ Θεῷ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔθυσε τὸ φασὲκ τῇ τεσσαρεσκαιδεκάτῃ ἡμέρᾳ τοῦ μηνὸς τοῦ πρώτου.

And he set the priests in their charges, and encouraged them to the service of the house of the Lord,

Καὶ ἔστησε τοὺς ἱερεῖς ἐπὶ τὰς φυλακὰς αὐτῶν, καὶ κατίσχυσεν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὰ ἔργα οἴκου Κυρίου.

And said unto the Levites that taught all Israel, which were holy unto the Lord, Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel did build; it shall not be a burden upon your shoulders: serve now the Lord your God, and his people Israel,

Καὶ εἶπε τοῖς Λευίταις τοῖς δυνατοῖς ἐν παντὶ Ἰσραὴλ, τοῦ ἁγιασθῆναι αὐτοὺς τῷ Κυρίῳ· καὶ ἔθηκαν τὴν κιβωτὸν τὴν ἁγίαν εἰς τὸν οἶκον ὃν ᾠκοδόμησε Σαλωμὼν υἱὸς Δαυὶδ τοῦ βασιλέως Ἰσραήλ. καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς, οὐκ ἔστιν ὑμῖν ἐπʼ ὤμων ἆραι οὐδέν· νῦν οὖν λειτουργήσατε τῷ Κυρίῳ Θεῷ ὑμῶν, καὶ τῷ λαῷ αὐτοῦ Ἰσραήλ.

And prepare yourselves by the houses of your fathers, after your courses, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and according to the writing of Solomon his son.

Καὶ ἑτοιμάσθητε κατʼ οἴκους πατριῶν ὑμῶν, καὶ κατὰ τὰς ἐφημερίας ὑμῶν, κατὰ τὴν γραφὴν Δαυὶδ βασιλέως Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ διὰ χειρὸς Σαλωμὼν υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ.

And stand in the holy place according to the divisions of the families of the fathers of your brethren the people, and after the division of the families of the Levites.

Καὶ στῆτε ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ κατὰ τὰς διαιρέσεις οἴκων πατριῶν ὑμῶν τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς ὑμῶν υἱοῖς τοῦ λαοῦ, καὶ μερὶς οἴκου πατριᾶς τοῖς Λευίταις.

So kill the passover, and sanctify yourselves, and prepare your brethren, that they may do according to the word of the Lord by the hand of Moses.

Καὶ θύσατε τὸ φασὲκ, καὶ ἑτοιμάσατε τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς ὑμῶν, τοῦ ποιῆσαι κατὰ τὸν λόγον Κυρίου διὰ χειρὸς Μωυσῆ.

And Josiah gave to the people, of the flock, lambs and kids, all for the passover offerings, for all that were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bullocks: these were of the king’s substance.

Καὶ ἀπήρξατο Ἰωσίας τοῖς υἱοῖς τοῦ λαοῦ πρόβατα, καὶ ἀμνοὺς, καὶ ἐρίφους ἀπὸ τῶν τέκνων τῶν αἰγῶν, πάντα εἰς τὸ φασὲκ, καὶ πάντας τοὺς εὑρεθέντας εἰς ἀριθμὸν τριάκοντα χιλιάδας, καὶ μόσχων τρεῖς χιλιάδας, ταῦτα ἀπὸ τῆς ὑπάρξεως τοῦ βασιλέως.

And his princes gave willingly unto the people, to the priests, and to the Levites: Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, rulers of the house of God, gave unto the priests for the passover offerings two thousand and six hundred small cattle, and three hundred oxen.

Καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες αὐτοῦ ἀπήρξαντο τῷ λαῷ καὶ τοῖς ἱερεῦσι καὶ τοῖς Λευίταις· ἔδωκε δὲ Χελκίας καὶ Ζαχαρίας καὶ Ἰεϊὴλ οἱ ἄρχοντες τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν οἴκου Θεοῦ, καὶ ἔδωκαν εἰς τὸ φασὲκ πρόβατα καὶ ἀμνοὺς καὶ ἐρίφους διαχίλια ἑξακόσια, καὶ μόσχους τριακοσίους.

Conaniah also, and Shemaiah and Nethaneel, his brethren, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, chief of the Levites, gave unto the Levites for passover offerings five thousand small cattle, and five hundred oxen.

Καὶ Χωνενίας, καὶ Βαναίας, καὶ Σαμαίας, καὶ Ναθαναὴλ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ Ἀσαβίας, καὶ Ἰεϊὴλ, καὶ Ἰωζαβὰδ, ἄρχοντες τῶν Λευιτῶν, ἀπήρξαντο τοῖς Λευίταις εἰς τὸ φασὲχ πρόβατα πεντακισχίλια, καὶ μόσχους πεντακοσίους.

So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites in their courses, according to the king’s commandment.

Καὶ κατωρθώθη ἡ λειτουργεία, καὶ ἔστησαν οἱ ἱερεῖς ἐπὶ τὴν στάσιν αὐτῶν, καὶ οἱ Λευῖται ἐπὶ τὰς διαιρέσεις αὐτῶν κατὰ τὴν ἐντολὴν τοῦ βασιλέως.

And they killed the passover, and the priests sprinkled the blood from their hands, and the Levites flayed them.

Καὶ ἔθυσαν τὸ φασὲκ, καὶ προσέχεαν οἱ ἱερεῖς τὸ αἷμα ἐκ χειρὸς αὐτῶν, καὶ οἱ Λευῖται ἐξέδειραν.

And they removed the burnt offerings, that they might give according to the divisions of the families of the people, to offer unto the Lord, as it is written in the book of Moses. And so did they with the oxen.

Καὶ ἡτοίμασαν τὴν ὁλοκαύτωσιν παραδοῦναι αὐτοῖς κατὰ τὴν διαίρεσιν κατʼ οἴκους πατριῶν τοῖς υἱοῖς τοῦ λαοῦ, τοῦ προσάγειν τῷ Κυρίῳ, ὡς γέγραπται ἐν βίβλῳ Μωυσῆ· καὶ οὕτως εἰς τὸ πρωΐ.

And they roasted the passover with fire according to the ordinance: but the other holy offerings sod they in pots, and in caldrons, and in pans, and divided them speedily among all the people.

Καὶ ὤπτησαν τὸ φασὲκ ἐν πυρὶ κατὰ τὴν κρίσιν, καὶ τὰ ἅγια ἥψησαν ἐν τοῖς χαλκείοις καὶ ἐν τοῖς λέβησι, καὶ εὐωδώθη, καὶ ἔδραμον πρὸς πάντας τοὺς υἱοὺς τοῦ λαοῦ.

And afterward they made ready for themselves, and for the priests: because the priests the sons of Aaron were busied in offering of burnt offerings and the fat until night; therefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests the sons of Aaron.

Καὶ μετὰ τὸ ἑτοιμάσαι αὐτοῖς καὶ τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν ὅτι οἱ ἱερεῖς ἐν τῷ ἀναφέρειν τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα καὶ τὰ στέατα ἕως νυκτὸς, καὶ οἱ Λευῖται ἡτοίμασαν αὐτοῖς, καὶ τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς αὐτῶν υἱοῖς Ἀαρών.

And the singers the sons of Asaph were in their place, according to the commandment of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun the king’s seer; and the porters waited at every gate; they might not depart from their service; for their brethren the Levites prepared for them.

Καὶ οἱ ψαλτῳδοὶ υἱοὶ Ἀσὰφ ἐπὶ τῆς στάσεως αὐτῶν κατὰ τὰς ἐντολὰς Δαυὶδ, καὶ Ἀσὰφ, καὶ Αἰμὰν, καὶ Ἰδιθὼμ οἱ προφῆται τοῦ βασιλέως· καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες καὶ οἱ πυλωροὶ πύλης καὶ πύλης, οὐκ ἦν αὐτοῖς κινεῖσθαι ἀπὸ τῆς λειτουργίας τῶν ἁγίων, ὅτι οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτῶν οἱ Λευῖται ἡτοίμασαν αὐτοῖς.

So all the service of the Lord was prepared the same day, to keep the passover, and to offer burnt offerings upon the altar of the Lord, according to the commandment of king Josiah.

Καὶ κατωρθώθη καὶ ἡτοιμάσθη πᾶσα ἡ λειτουργία Κυρίου ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὸ φασὲκ, καὶ ἐνεγκεῖν τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον Κυρίου κατὰ τὴν ἐντολὴν τοῦ βασιλέως Ἰωσίου.

And the children of Israel that were present kept the passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days.

Καὶ ἐποίησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ οἱ εὑρεθέντες τὸ φασὲκ ἑν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ, καὶ τὴν ἑορτὴν τῶν ἀζύμων ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας.

And there was no passover like to that kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did all the kings of Israel keep such a passover as Josiah kept, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel that were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

Καὶ οὐκ ἐγένετο φασὲκ ὅμοιον αὐτῷ ἐν Ἰσραὴλ, ἀπὸ ἡμερῶν Σαμουὴλ τοῦ προφήτου καὶ παντὸς βασιλέως Ἰσραὴλ· οὐκ ἐποίησαν τὸ φασὲκ ὃ ἐποίησεν Ἰωσίας, καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς, καὶ οἱ Λευῖται, καὶ πᾶς Ἰούδα καὶ Ἰσραὴλ ὁ εὑρεθεὶς, καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ, τῷ Κυρίῳ.

In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was this passover kept.

Τῷ ὀκτωκαιδεκάτῳ ἔτει τῆς βασιλείας Ἰωσίου ἐποιήθη τὸ φασὲκ τοῦτο· μετὰ ταῦτα πάντα ἃ ἔδρασεν Ἰωσίας ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ, καὶ τοὺς ἐγγαστριμύθους καὶ τοὺς γνώστας καὶ τὰ θεραφὶν καὶ τὰ εἴδωλα καὶ τὰ καρησὶμ ἃ ἦν ἐν γῇ Ἰούδα καὶ ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ, ἐνεπύρισεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰωσίας, ἵνα στήσῃ τοὺς λόγους τοῦ νόμου τοὺς γεγραμμένους ἐπὶ τοῦ βιβλίου οὗ εὗρε Χελκίας ὁ ἱερεὺς ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ Κυρίου· ὅμοιος αὐτῷ οὐκ ἐγενήθη ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ, ὃς ἐπέστρεψε πρὸς Κύριον ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν ὅλῃ ψυχῇ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ ἰσχύϊ αὐτοῦ κατὰ πάντα τὸν νόμον Μωυσῆ, καὶ μετʼ αὐτὸν οὐκ ἀνέστη ὅμοιος· πλὴν οὐκ ἀπεστράφη Κύριος ἀπὸ ὀργῆς θυμοῦ αὐτοῦ τοῦ μεγάλου, οὗ ὠργίσθη θυμῷ Κύριος ἐν τῷ Ἰούδα, ἐπὶ πάντα τὰ παροργίσματα αὐτοῦ ἂ παρώργισε Μανασσῆς· καὶ εἶπε Κύριος, καί γε τὸν Ἰούδαν ἀποστήσω ἀπὸ προσώπου μου, καθὼς ἀπέστησα τὸν Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἀπωσάμην τὴν πόλιν ἣν ἐξελεξάμην τὴν Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ τὸν οἶκον ὃν εἶπα, ἔσται τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐκεῖ.

After all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple, Necho king of Egypt came up to fight against Carchemish by Euphrates: and Josiah went out against him.

Καὶ ἀνέβη Φαραὼ Νεχαὼ βασιλεὺς Αἰγύπτου ἐπὶ τὸν βασιλέα Ἀσσυρίων ἐπὶ τὸν ποταμὸν Εὐφράτην, καὶ ἐπορεύθη βασιλεὺς Ἰωσίας εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτῷ.

But he sent ambassadors to him, saying, What have I to do with thee, thou king of Judah? I come not against thee this day, but against the house wherewith I have war: for God commanded me to make haste: forbear thee from meddling with God, who is with me, that he destroy thee not.

Καὶ ἀπέστειλε πρὸς αὐτὸν ἀγγέλους, λέγων, τί ἐμοὶ καὶ σοί βασιλεῦ Ἰούδα; οὐκ ἐπὶ σὲ ἥκω σήμερον πόλεμον πολεμῆσαι· καὶ ὁ Θεὸς εἶπε τοῦ κατασπεῦσαι με· πρόσεχε ἀπὸ τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ μετʼ ἐμοῦ, μὴ καταφθείρῃ σε.

Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself, that he might fight with him, and hearkened not unto the words of Necho from the mouth of God, and came to fight in the valley of Megiddo.

Καὶ οὐκ ἀπέστρεψεν Ἰωσίας τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ, ἀλλʼ ἢ πολεμεῖν αὐτὸν ἐκραταιώθη, καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσε τῶν λόγων Νεχαὼ διὰ στόματος Θεοῦ, καὶ ἦλθε τοῦ πολεμῆσαι ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ Μαγεδδώ.

And the archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said to his servants, Have me away; for I am sore wounded.

Καὶ ἐτόξευσαν οἱ τοξόται ἐπὶ βασιλέα Ἰωσίαν· καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τοῖς παισὶν αὐτοῦ, ἐξαγάγετέ με, ὅτι ἐπόνεσα σφόδρα.

His servants therefore took him out of that chariot, and put him in the second chariot that he had; and they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died, and was buried in one of the sepulchres of his fathers. And all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.

Καὶ ἐξήγαγον αὐτὸν οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἅρματος, καὶ ἀνεβίβασαν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὸ ἅρμα τὸ δευτερεῦον ὃ ἦν αὐτῷ, καὶ ἤγαγον αὐτὸν εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ ἀπέθανε, καὶ ἐτάφη μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ· καὶ πᾶς Ἰούδα καὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐπένθησαν ἐπὶ Ἰωσίαν.

And Jeremiah lamented for Josiah: and all the singing men and the singing women spake of Josiah in their lamentations to this day, and made them an ordinance in Israel: and, behold, they are written in the lamentations.

Καὶ ἐθρήνησεν Ἱερεμίας ἐπὶ Ἰωσίαν, καὶ εἶπαν πάντες οἱ ἄρχοντες καὶ αἱ ἄρχουσαι θρῆνον ἐπὶ Ἰωσίαν ἕως τῆς σήμερον· καὶ ἔδωκαν αὐτὸν εἰς πρόσταγμα ἐπὶ Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἰδοὺ γέγραπται ἐπὶ τῶν θρήνων.

Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his goodness, according to that which was written in the law of the Lord,

Καὶ ἦσαν οἱ λοιποὶ λόγοι Ἰωσίου καὶ ἡ ἐλπὶς αὐτοῦ γεγραμμένα ἐν νόμῳ Κυρίου·

And his deeds, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

καὶ οἱ λόγοι αὐτοῦ οἱ πρῶτοι καὶ οἱ ἔσχατοι, ἰδοὺ γεγραμμένοι ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ βασιλέων Ἰσραὴλ καὶ Ἰούδα.
