[9] And Jeconias, and Samaias, and Nathanael his brother, and Assabias, and Ochiel, and Joram, captains over thousands, gave to the Levites for the passover five thousand sheep, and seven hundred calves.

  [10] καὶ ταῦτα τὰ γενόμενα· εὐπρεπῶς ἔστησαν οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευῖται ἔχοντες τὰ ἄζυμα κατὰ τὰς φυλὰς καὶ κατὰ τὰς μεριδαρχίας τῶν πατέρων ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ λαοῦ προσενεγκεῖν τῷ Κυρίῳ κατὰ τὰ γεγραμμένα ἐν βιβλίῳ Μωυσῆ, καὶ οὕτω τὸ πρωϊνόν.

  [10] And when these things were done, the priests and Levites, having the unleavened bread, stood in very comely order according to the kindreds, And according to the several dignities of the fathers, before the people, to offer to the Lord, as it is written in the book of Moses: and thus did they in the morning.

  [11] καὶ ὤπτησαν τὸ πάσχα πυρὶ ὡς καθήκει, καὶ τὰς θυσίας ἥψησαν ἐν τοῖς χαλκείοις καὶ λέβησι μετ᾿ εὐωδίας καὶ ἀπήνεγκαν πᾶσι τοῖς ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ.

  [11] And they roasted the passover with fire, as appertaineth: as for the sacrifices, they sod them in brass pots and pans with a good savour, And set them before all the people:

  [12] μετὰ δὲ ταῦτα ἡτοίμασαν ἑαυτοῖς τε καὶ τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν ἀδελφοῖς αὐτῶν υἱοῖς ᾿Ααρών·

  [12] and afterward they prepared for themselves, and for the priests their brethren, the sons of Aaron.

  [13] οἱ γὰρ ἱερεῖς ἀνέφερον τὰ στέατα ἕως ἀωρίας, καὶ οἱ Λευῖται ἡτοίμασαν ἑαυτοῖς καὶ τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν ἀδελφοῖς αὐτῶν υἱοῖς ᾿Ααρών.

  [13] For the priests offered the fat until night: and the Levites prepared for themselves, and the priests their brethren, the sons of Aaron.

  [14] καὶ οἱ ἱεροψάλται υἱοὶ ᾿Ασὰφ ἦσαν ἐπὶ τῆς τάξεως αὐτῶν, κατὰ τὰ ὑπὸ Δαυὶδ τεταγμένα καὶ ᾿Ασὰφ καὶ Ζαχαρίας καὶ ᾿Εδδινοῦς ὁ παρά τοῦ βασιλέως,

  [14] The holy singers also, the sons of Asaph, were in their order, according to the appointment of David, to wit, Asaph, Zacharias, and Jeddinus who was of the king’s retinue.

  [15] καὶ οἱ θυρωροὶ ἐφ᾿ ἑκάστου πυλῶνος· οὐκ ἔστι παραβῆναι ἕκαστον τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ἐφημερίαν, οἱ γὰρ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτῶν οἱ Λευῖται ἡτοίμασαν αὐτοῖς.

  [15] Moreover the porters were at every gate; it was not lawful for any to go from his ordinary service: for their brethren the Levites prepared for them.

  [16] καὶ συνετελέσθη τὰ τῆς θυσίας τοῦ Κυρίου ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ, ἀχθῆναι τὸ πάσχα καὶ προσαχθῆναι τὰς θυσίας ἐπὶ τὸ τοῦ Κυρίου θυσιαστήριον κατὰ τὴν ἐπιταγὴν τοῦ βασιλέως ᾿Ιωσίου.

  [16] Thus were the things that belonged to the sacrifices of the Lord accomplished in that day, that they might hold the passover, And offer sacrifices upon the altar of the Lord, according to the commandment of king Josias.

  [17] καὶ ἠγάγοσαν οἱ υἱοὶ ᾿Ισραὴλ οἱ εὑρεθέντες ἐν τῷ καιρῷ τούτῳ τὸ πάσχα καὶ τὴν ἑορτὴν τῶν ἀζύμων ἡμέρας ἑπτά.

  [17] So the children of Israel which were present held the passover at that time, and the feast of sweet bread seven days.

  [18] καὶ οὐκ ἤχθη τὸ πάσχα τοιοῦτον ἐν τῷ ᾿Ισραὴλ ἀπὸ τῶν χρόνων Σαμουὴλ τοῦ προφήτου,

  [18] And such a passover was not kept in Israel since the time of the prophet Samuel.

  [19] καὶ πάντες οἱ βασιλεῖς τοῦ ᾿Ισραὴλ οὐκ ἠγάγοσαν πάσχα τοιοῦτον, οἷον ἤγαγεν ᾿Ιωσίας καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευῖται καὶ οἱ ᾿Ιουδαῖοι καὶ πᾶς ᾿Ισραὴλ ὁ εὑρεθεὶς ἐν τῇ κατοικήσει αὐτῶν ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ·

  [19] Yea, all the kings of Israel held not such a passover as Josias, and the priests, and the Levites, and the Jews, held with all Israel that were found dwelling at Jerusalem.

  [20] ὀκτωκαιδεκάτῳ ἔτει βασιλεύοντος ᾿Ιωσίου ἤχθη τὸ πάσχα τοῦτο.

  [20] In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josias was this passover kept.

  [21] καὶ ὠρθώθη τὰ ἔργα ᾿Ιωσίου ἐνώπιον τοῦ Κυρίου αὐτοῦ ἐν καρδίᾳ πλήρει εὐσεβείας.

  [21] And the works or Josias were upright before his Lord with an heart full of godliness.

  [22] καὶ τὰ κατ᾿ αὐτὸν δέ ἀναγέγραπται ἐν τοῖς ἔμπροσθεν χρόνοις, περὶ τῶν ἡμαρτηκότων καὶ ἠσεβηκότων εἰς τὸν Κύριον παρὰ πᾶν ἔθνος καὶ βασιλείαν, καὶ ἃ ἐλύπησαν αὐτὸν ἐν αἰσθήσει, καὶ οἱ λόγοι τοῦ Κυρίου ἀνέστησαν ἐπὶ ᾿Ισραήλ.

  [22] As for the things that came to pass in his time, they were written in former times, concerning those that sinned, and did wickedly against the Lord above all people and kingdoms, and how they grieved him exceedingly, so that the words of the Lord rose up against Israel.

  [23] Καὶ μετὰ πᾶσαν τὴν πρᾶξιν ταύτην ᾿Ιωσίου συνέβη Φαραὼ βασιλέα Αἰγύπτου ἐλθόντα πόλεμον ἐγεῖραι ἐν Χαρκαμὺς ἐπὶ τοῦ Εὐφράτου, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν εἰς ἀπάντησιν αὐτῷ ᾿Ιωσίας.

  [23] Now after all these acts of Josias it came to pass, that Pharaoh the king of Egypt came to raise war at Carchamis upon Euphrates: and Josias went out against him.

  [24] καὶ διεπέμψατο πρὸς αὐτὸν βασιλεὺς Αἰγύπτου λέγων· τί ἐμοὶ καὶ σοί ἐστι, βασιλεῦ τῆς ᾿Ιουδαίας;

  [24] But the king of Egypt sent to him, saying, What have I to do with thee, O king of Judea?

  [25] οὐχὶ πρός σε ἐξαπέσταλμαι ὑπὸ Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ· ἐπὶ γὰρ τοῦ Εὐφράτου ὁ πόλεμός μου ἐστί. καὶ νῦν Κύριος μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ ἐστι, καὶ Κύριος μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ ἐπισπεύδων ἐστίν· ἀπόστηθι καὶ μὴ ἐναντιοῦ τῷ Κυρίῳ.

  [25] I am not sent out from the Lord God against thee; for my war is upon Euphrates: and now the Lord is with me, yea, the Lord is with me hasting me forward: depart from me, and be not against the Lord.

  [26] καὶ οὐκ ἀπέστρεψεν ἑαυτὸν ᾿Ιωσίας ἐπὶ τὸ ἅρμα αὐτοῦ, ἀλλὰ πολεμεῖν αὐτὸν ἐπεχείρει, οὐ προσέχων ρήμασιν ῾Ιερεμίου προφήτου ἐκ στόματος Κυρίου·

  [26] Howbeit Josias did not turn back his chariot from him, but undertook to fight with him, not regarding the words of the prophet Jeremy spoken by the mouth of the Lord:

  [27] ἀλλὰ συνεστήσατο πρὸς αὐτὸν πόλεμον ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ Μαγεδδώ, καὶ κατέβησαν οἱ ἄρχοντες πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα ᾿Ιωσίαν.

  [27] But joined battle with him in the plain of Magiddo, and the princes came against king Josias.

  [28] καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τοῖς παισὶν
ἑαυτοῦ· ἀποστήσατέ με ἀπὸ τῆς μάχης, ἠσθένησα γὰρ λίαν. καὶ εὐθέως ἀπέστησαν αὐτὸν οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τῆς παρατάξεως,

  [28] Then said the king unto his servants, Carry me away out of the battle; for I am very weak. And immediately his servants took him away out of the battle.

  [29] καὶ ἀνέβη ἐπὶ τὸ ἅρμα τὸ δευτέριον αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἀποκατασταθεὶς εἰς ῾Ιερουσαλήμ, μετήλλαξε τὸν βίον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν τῷ πατρικῷ τάφῳ.

  [29] Then gat he up upon his second chariot; and being brought back to Jerusalem died, and was buried in his father’s sepulchre.

  [30] καὶ ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ ᾿Ιουδαίᾳ ἐπένθησαν τὸν ᾿Ιωσίαν, καὶ ἐθρήνησεν ῾Ιερεμίας ὁ προφήτης ὑπὲρ ᾿Ιωσίου, καὶ οἱ προκαθήμενοι σὺν γυναιξὶν ἐθρηνοῦσαν αὐτὸν ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης· καὶ ἐξεδόθη τοῦτο γίνεσθαι ἀεὶ εἰς ἅπαν τὸ γένος ᾿Ισραήλ.

  [30] And in all Jewry they mourned for Josias, yea, Jeremy the prophet lamented for Josias, and the chief men with the women made lamentation for him unto this day: and this was given out for an ordinance to be done continually in all the nation of Israel.

  [31] ταῦτα δὲ ἀναγέγραπται ἐν τῇ βίβλῳ τῶν ἱστορουμένων περὶ τῶν βασιλέων τῆς ᾿Ιουδαίας· καὶ τὸ καθ᾿ ἓν πραχθὲν τῆς πράξεως ᾿Ιωσίου καὶ τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ καὶ τῆς συνέσεως αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ νόμῳ Κυρίου, τά τε προπραχθέντα ὑπ᾿ αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ νῦν, ἱστόρηται ἐν τῷ βιβλίῳ τῶν βασιλέων ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ ᾿Ιούδα.

  [31] These things are written in the book of the stories of the kings of Judah, and every one of the acts that Josias did, and his glory, and his understanding in the law of the Lord, and the things that he had done before, and the things now recited, are reported in the book of the kings of Israel and Judea.

  [32] Καὶ ἀναλαβόντες οἱ ἐκ τοῦ ἔθνους τὸν ᾿Ιεχονίαν υἱὸν ᾿Ιωσίου ἀνέδειξαν βασιλέα ἀντὶ ᾿Ιωσίου τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ὄντα ἐτῶν εἴκοσι τριῶν.

  [32] And the people took Joachaz the son of Josias, and made him king instead of Josias his father, when he was twenty and three years old.

  [33] καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ μῆνας τρεῖς. καὶ ἀπέστησεν αὐτὸν βασιλεὺς Αἰγύπτου τοῦ μὴ βασιλεύειν ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ

  [33] And he reigned in Israel and in Jerusalem three months: and then the king of Egypt deposed him from reigning in Jerusalem.

  [34] καὶ ἐζημίωσε τὸ ἔθνος ἀργυρίου ταλάντοις ἑκατὸν καὶ χρυσίου ταλάντῳ ἑνί.

  [34] And he set a tax upon the land of an hundred talents of silver and one talent of gold.

  [35] καὶ ἀνέδειξε βασιλεὺς Αἰγύπτου βασιλέα ᾿Ιωακὶμ τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ βασιλέα τῆς ᾿Ιουδαίας καὶ ῾Ιερουσαλήμ.

  [35] The king of Egypt also made king Joacim his brother king of Judea and Jerusalem.

  [36] καὶ ἔδησεν ᾿Ιωακὶμ τοὺς μεγιστᾶνας, Ζαράκην δὲ τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ συλλαβὼν ἀνήγαγεν ἐξ Αἰγύπτου.

  [36] And he bound Joacim and the nobles: but Zaraces his brother he apprehended, and brought him out of Egypt.

  [37] ᾿Ετῶν δὲ ἦν εἰκοσιπέντε ᾿Ιωακίμ, ὅτε ἐβασίλευσε τῆς ᾿Ιουδαίας καὶ ῾Ιερουσαλήμ, καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου.

  [37] Five and twenty years old was Joacim when he was made king in the land of Judea and Jerusalem; and he did evil before the Lord.

  [38] μετ᾿ αὐτὸν δὲ ἀνέβη Ναβουχοδονόσορ ὁ βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος καὶ δήσας αὐτὸν ἐν χαλκείῳ δεσμῷ καὶ ἀπήγαγεν εἰς Βαβυλῶνα.

  [38] Wherefore against him Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon came up, and bound him with a chain of brass, and carried him into Babylon.

  [39] καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ἱερῶν σκευῶν τοῦ Κυρίου λαβὼν Ναβουχοδονόσορ καὶ ἀπενέγκας ἀπηρείσατο ἐν τῷ ναῷ αὐτοῦ ἐν Βαβυλῶνι.

  [39] Nabuchodonosor also took of the holy vessels of the Lord, and carried them away, and set them in his own temple at Babylon.

  [40] τὰ δὲ ἱστορηθέντα περὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ τῆς ἀκαθαρσίας αὐτοῦ καὶ δυσσεβείας ἀναγέγραπται ἐν τῇ βίβλῳ τῶν χρόνων τῶν βασιλέων.

  [40] But those things that are recorded of him, and of his uncleanness and impiety, are written in the chronicles of the kings.

  [41] Καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ἀντ᾿ αὐτοῦ ᾿Ιωακὶμ ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ· ὅτε γὰρ ἀνεδείχθη, ἦν ἐτῶν ὀκτώ.

  [41] And Joacim his son reigned in his stead: he was made king being eighteen years old;

  [42] βασιλεύει δὲ μῆνας τρεῖς καὶ ἡμέρας δέκα ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν ἔναντι Κυρίου.

  [42] And reigned but three months and ten days in Jerusalem; and did evil before the Lord.

  [43] Καὶ μετ᾿ ἐνιαυτὸν ἀποστείλας Ναβουχοδονόσορ μετήγαγεν αὐτὸν εἰς Βαβυλῶνα ἅμα τοῖς ἱεροῖς σκεύεσι τοῦ Κυρίου

  [43] So after a year Nabuchodonosor sent and caused him to be brought into Babylon with the holy vessels of the Lord;

  [44] καὶ ἀνέδειξε Σεδεκίαν βασιλέα τῆς ᾿Ιουδαίας καὶ ῾Ιερουσαλὴμ ὄντα ἐτῶν εἴκοσιν ἑνός, βασιλεύει δὲ ἔτη ἕνδεκα,

  [44] And made Zedechias king of Judea and Jerusalem, when he was one and twenty years old; and he reigned eleven years:

  [45] καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου καὶ οὐκ ἐνετράπη ἀπὸ τῶν ρηθέντων λόγων ὑπὸ ῾Ιερεμίου τοῦ προφήτου ἐκ στόματος τοῦ Κυρίου.

  [45] And he did evil also in the sight of the Lord, and cared not for the words that were spoken unto him by the prophet Jeremy from the mouth of the Lord.

  [46] καὶ ὁρκισθεὶς ἀπὸ τοῦ βασιλέως Ναβουχοδονόσορ τῷ ὀνόματι Κυρίου, ἐπιορκήσας ἀπέστη· καὶ σκληρύνας αὐτοῦ τὸν τράχηλον καὶ τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ παρέβη τὰ νόμιμα Κυρίου Θεοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ.

  [46] And after that king Nabuchodonosor had made him to swear by the name of the Lord, he forswore himself, and rebelled; and hardening his neck, his heart, he transgressed the laws of the Lord God of Israel.

  [47] καὶ οἱ ἡγούμενοι δὲ τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ τῶν ἱερέων πολλὰ ἠσέβησαν καὶ ὑπὲρ πάσας τὰς ἀκαθαρσίας πάντων τῶν ἐθνῶν καὶ ἐμίαναν τὸ ἱερὸν τοῦ Κυρίου τὸ ἁγιαζόμενον ἐν ῾Ιερουσαλήμ.

  [47] The governors also of the people and of the priests did many t
hings against the laws, and passed all the pollutions of all nations, and defiled the temple of the Lord, which was sanctified in Jerusalem.

  [48] καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ Θεὸς τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν διὰ τοῦ ἀγγέλου αὐτοῦ μετακαλέσαι αὐτούς, καθότι ἐφείδετο αὐτῶν καὶ τοῦ σκηνώματος αὐτοῦ.

  [48] Nevertheless the God of their fathers sent by his messenger to call them back, because he spared them and his tabernacle also.

  [49] αὐτοὶ δὲ ἐμυκτήρισαν ἐν τοῖς ἀγγέλοις αὐτοῦ καὶ ᾗ ἡμέρᾳ ἐλάλησε Κύριος ἦσαν ἐκπαίζοντες τοὺς προφήτας αὐτοῦ, ἕως οὗ θυμωθέντα αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τῷ ἔθνει αὐτοῦ διὰ τὰ δυσσεβήματα προστάξαι ἀναβιβάσαι ἐπ᾿ αὐτοὺς τοὺς βασιλεῖς τῶν Χαλδαίων.

  [49] But they had his messengers in derision; and, look, when the Lord spake unto them, they made a sport of his prophets: So far forth, that he, being wroth with his people for their great ungodliness, commanded the kings of the Chaldees to come up against them;

  [50] οὗτοι ἀπέκτειναν τοὺς νεανίσκους αὐτῶν ἐν ρομφαίᾳ περικύκλῳ τοῦ ἁγίου αὐτῶν ἱεροῦ καὶ οὐκ ἐφείσαντο νεανίσκου καὶ παρθένου καὶ πρεσβύτου καὶ νεωτέρου, ἀλλὰ πάντας παρέδωκαν εἰς τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν.

  [50] Who slew their young men with the sword, yea, even within the compass of their holy temple, and spared neither young man nor maid, old man nor child, among them; for he delivered all into their hands.

  [51] καὶ πάντα τὰ ἱερὰ σκεύη τοῦ Κυρίου τὰ μεγάλα καὶ τὰ μικρὰ καὶ τὰς κιβωτοὺς τοῦ Κυρίου καὶ τὰς βασιλικὰς ἀποθήκας ἀναλαβόντες ἀπήνεγκαν εἰς Βαβυλῶνα.
