1And when all this was finished, all Israel that were present went out to the cities of Judah, and broke the columns, and hewed down the Asherahs, and demolished the high places and the altars in all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim also and Manasseh, until they had destroyed them all. And all the children of Israel returned every man to his possession, into their cities.
1[] Αφου δε συνετελεσθησαν παντα ταυτα, πας ο Ισραηλ οι ευρεθεντες εξηλθον εις τας πολεις του Ιουδα και συνετριψαν τα αγαλματα και κατεκοψαν τα αλση και εκρημνισαν τους υψηλους τοπους και τα θυσιαστηρια απο παντος του Ιουδα και Βενιαμιν· το αυτο εκαμον και εις τον Εφραιμ και Μανασση, εωσου συνετελεσαν. Τοτε επεστρεψαν παντες οι υιοι Ισραηλ, εκαστος εις την ιδιοκτησιαν αυτου, εις τας εαυτων πολεις.
2And Hezekiah appointed the divisions of the priests, and the Levites after their divisions, every man according to his service, as well the priests as the Levites, for burnt-offerings and for peace-offerings, to serve and to give thanks and to praise in the gates of the courts of Jehovah.
2Και διεταξεν ο Εζεκιας τας διαιρεσεις των ιερεων και των Λευιτων, κατα τας διαιρεσεις αυτων, εκαστον κατα την υπηρεσιαν αυτου, τους ιερεις και τους Λευιτας, δια τα ολοκαυτωματα και τας ειρηνικας προσφορας, δια να λειτουργωσι και να δοξολογωσι και να υμνωσιν εν ταις πυλαις των σκηνωματων του Κυριου.
3And [he ordered] that the king's portion [should be taken] from his substance for the burnt-offerings: for the morning and evening burnt-offerings, for the burnt-offerings of the sabbaths, and of the new moons, and of the set feasts, as it is written in the law of Jehovah.
3Διεταξε και το μεριδιον του βασιλεως εκ των υπαρχοντων αυτου, δια τας ολοκαυτωσεις, δια τας πρωινας και εσπερινας ολοκαυτωσεις και δια τας ολοκαυτωσεις των σαββατων και των νεομηνιων και των επισημων εορτων, κατα το γεγραμμενον εν τω νομω του Κυριου.
4And he commanded the people that dwelt in Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might be encouraged in the law of Jehovah.
4Ειπεν ετι προς τον λαον τον κατοικουντα εν Ιερουσαλημ, να διδη την μεριδα των ιερεων και Λευιτων, δια να ενισχυωνται εν τω νομω του Κυριου.
5And as soon as the commandment was published, the children of Israel gave in abundance the firstfruits of corn, new wine and oil and honey, and of all the increase of the field; and they brought in abundantly the tithe of all [things].
5Και καθως εξεδοθη ο λογος, οι υιοι Ισραηλ εφεραν εν αφθονια απαρχας σιτου, οινου και ελαιου και μελιτος και παντων των γεννηματων του αγρου· εφεραν ετι εν αφθονια τα δεκατα παντος πραγματος.
6And the children of Israel and of Judah, that dwelt in the cities of Judah, they also brought the tithe of oxen and sheep, and the tithe of holy things which were consecrated to Jehovah their God, and laid them by heaps.
6Και οι υιοι Ισραηλ και Ιουδα, οι κατοικουντες εν τους πολεσιν Ιουδα, και αυτοι εφεραν τα δεκατα βοων και προβατων και τα δεκατα των αγιων πραγματων των αφιερουμενων εις Κυριον τον Θεον αυτων, και εθεσαν κατα σωρους.
7In the third month they began to lay the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month.
7Εν τω τριτω μηνι ηρχισαν να καμνωσι τους σωρους και εν τω εβδομω μηνι ετελειωσαν.
8And Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, and they blessed Jehovah, and his people Israel.
8και οτε ηλθον ο Εζεκιας και οι αρχοντες και ειδον τους σωρους, ηυλογησαν τον Κυριον και τον λαον αυτου τον Ισραηλ.
9And Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps.
9Επειτα ηρωτησεν ο Εζεκιας τους ιερεις και τους Λευιτας περι των σωρων.
10And Azariah the chief priest of the house of Zadok spoke to him and said, Since they began to bring the heave-offerings into the house of Jehovah, we have eaten and been satisfied and have left plenty; for Jehovah has blessed his people; and what is left is this great store.
10Και απεκριθη προς αυτον Αζαριας, ο πρωτος ιερευς, εκ του οικου Σαδωκ, και ειπεν, Αφου ηρχισαν να φερωσι τας προσφορας εις τον οικον του Κυριου, εφαγομεν εις χορτασμον, και επερισσευσε πληθος· διοτι ο Κυριος ηυλογησε τον λαον αυτου· και το εναπολειφθεν ειναι η μεγαλη αυτη αφθονια.
11And Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the house of Jehovah; and they prepared [them],
11[] Τοτε ειπεν ο Εζεκιας να ετοιμασωσι ταμεια εκ τω οικω του Κυριου· και ητοιμασαν,
12and brought in the heave-offerings and the tithes and the dedicated things faithfully; and over these Cononiah the Levite was ruler, and Shimei his brother was second.
12και εισεφεραν εν πιστει τας προσφορας και τα δεκατα και τα αφιερωματα· επ' αυτων δε ητο επιστατης Χωνανιας ο Λευιτης και μετ' αυτον Σιμει ο αδελφος αυτου.
13And Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath, and Asahel, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Jismachiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah were overseers under the hand of Cononiah and Shimei his brother, at the command of Hezekiah the king and Azariah the ruler of the house of God.
13Ο δε Ιεχιηλ και Αζαζιας και Ναχαθ και Ασαηλ και Ιεριμωθ και Ιωζαβαδ και Ελιηλ και Ισμαχιας και Μααθ και Βεναιας ησαν επιτηρηται, υπο την οδηγιαν του Χωνανιου και Σιμει του αδελφου αυτου, δια προσταγης Εζεκιου του βασιλεως και Αζαριου του επιστατου του οικου του Θεου.
14And Kore the son of Jimnah the Levite, the doorkeeper toward the east, was over the voluntary-offerings of God, to distribute the heave-offerings of Jehovah, and the most holy things.
14Και Κωρη ο υιος του Ιεμνα του Λευιτου, ο πυλωρος κατα ανατολας, ητο επι των προαιρετικων προσφορων του Θεου, δια να διανεμη τας προσφορας του Κυριου και τα αγιωτατα πραγματα.
15And under him were Eden and Miniamin and Jeshua and Shemaiah, Amariah and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, in [their] set trust, to make distributions to their brethren by [their] divisions, to the great as to the small,
15Και μετ' αυτον Εδεν και Μινιαμειν και Ιησοης και Σεμαιας, Αμαριας και Σεχανιας, εν ταις πολεσι των ιερεων εμπεπιστευμενοι να διανεμωσιν εις τους αδελφους αυτων κατα τας διαιρεσεις αυτων, εξ ισου εις τον μεγαλον και εις τον μικρον,
16besides those from three years old and upward who as males were entered in the genealogical register, -- all that came into the house of Jehovah, as the duty of every day required, for their service in their charges, according to their divisions,
16εις παντα τον εισερχομενον εις τον οικον του Κυριου, το καθημερινον αυτου μεριδιον, δια την εις τα υπουργηματα αυτων υπηρεσιαν αυτων, κατα τας διαιρεσεις αυτων, εκτος των αρσενικων αυτων, τα οποια απηριθμηθησαν κατα γενεαλογιαν, απο τριων ετων ηλικιας και επανω·
17-- both to the priests enregistered according to their fathers' houses, and to the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in their charges, by their divisions;
17η απαριθμησις δε των ιερεων και των Λευιτων εγεινε κατα τον οικον των πατριων αυτων, απο εικοσι ετων ηλικιας και επανω, κατα τα υπουργηματα αυτων, κατα τας διαιρεσεις αυτων·
18and to all their little ones, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, the whole congregation of those entered in the register; for in their trust they hallowed themselves to be holy.
18και εις παντα τα τεκνα αυτων, τας γυναικας αυτων και τους υιους αυτων και τας θυγατερας αυτων, εις πασαν την συναξιν, οιτινες απηριθμηθησαν κατα γενεαλογιαν· διοτι εν πιστει ηγιασθησαν εις τα αγια.
19And for the sons of Aaron the priests who were in the country, in the suburbs of their cities, there were, in every several city, men expressed by name, to give portions to all the males among the priests, and to all the Levites that were entered in the register.
19Περι δε των υιων Ααρων των ιερεων εν τοις αγροις των προαστειων των πολεων αυτων, ησαν εν εκαστη πολει ανθρωποι διωρισμενοι κατ' ονομα δια να διδωσι μεριδια εις παντα τα αρσενικα μεταξυ των ιερεων και εις παντα τα απαριθμηθεντα μεταξυ των Λευιτων.
20And thus did Hezekiah throughout Judah, and wrought what was good and right and true before Jehovah his God.
20Και ουτως εκαμεν ο Εζεκιας καθ' ολον τον Ιουδαν· και επραξε το καλον και ευθες και αληθινον ενωπιον Κυριου του Θεου αυτου.
21And in every work that he undertook in the service of the house of God, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart and prospered.
21Και εις παν εργον, το οποιον ηρχισεν εις την υπηρεσιαν του οικου του Θεου, και εις τον νομον και εις τα προσταγματα, εκζητων τον Θεον αυτου, εκαμνεν αυτο εξ ολης της καρδιας αυτου και ευωδουτο.
