2 Chronicles 29
1 Hezekiah began to reigne, when he was fiue and twentie yeere olde, and reigned nine and twentie yeres in Ierusalem: and his mothers name was Abiiah the daughter of Zechariah.
igitur Ezechias regnare coepit cum viginti quinque esset annorum et viginti novem annis regnavit in Hierusalem nomen matris eius Abia filia Zacchariae
2 And hee did vprightly in the sight of the Lord, according to all that Dauid his father had done.
fecitque quod erat placitum in conspectu Domini iuxta omnia quae fecerat David pater eius
3 He opened the doores of the house of the Lord in the first yeere, and in the first moneth of his reigne, and repared them.
ipse anno et mense primo regni sui aperuit valvas domus Domini et instauravit eas
4 And he brought in the Priests and the Leuites, and gathered them into the East streete,
adduxitque sacerdotes atque Levitas et congregavit eos in plateam orientalem
5 And said vnto them, Heare me, ye Leuites: sanctifie nowe your selues, and sanctifie the house of the Lord God of your fathers, and cary forth the filthinesse out of the Sanctuarie.
dixitque ad eos audite me Levitae et sanctificamini mundate domum Domini Dei patrum vestrorum auferte omnem inmunditiam de sanctuario
6 For our fathers haue trespassed, and done euill in the eyes of the Lord our God, and haue forsaken him, and turned away their faces from the Tabernacle of the Lord, and turned their backes.
peccaverunt patres nostri et fecerunt malum in conspectu Domini Dei nostri derelinquentes eum averterunt facies suas a tabernaculo Domini et praebuerunt dorsum
7 They haue also shut the doores of ye porch, and quenched the lampes, and haue neither burnt incense, nor offred burnt offrings in the Sanctuarie vnto the God of Israel.
cluserunt ostia quae erant in porticu et extinxerunt lucernas incensumque non adoleverunt et holocausta non obtulerunt in sanctuario Deo Israhel
8 Wherfore the wrath of the Lord hath bin on Iudah and Ierusalem: and he hath made them a scattering, a desolation, and an hissing, as ye see with your eyes.
concitatus est itaque furor Domini super Iudam et Hierusalem tradiditque eos in commotionem et in interitum et in sibilum sicut ipsi cernitis oculis vestris
9 For lo, our fathers are fallen by the sword, and our sonnes, and our daughters, and our wiues are in captiuitie for the same cause.
en corruerunt patres nostri gladiis filii nostri et filiae nostrae et coniuges captivae ductae sunt propter hoc scelus
10 Now I purpose to make a couenant with the Lord God of Israel, that he may turne away his fierce wrath from vs.
nunc igitur placet mihi ut ineamus foedus cum Domino Deo Israhel et avertat a nobis furorem irae suae
11 Now my sonnes, be not deceiued: for the Lord hath chosen you to stand before him, to serue him, and to be his ministers, and to burne incense.
filii mi nolite neglegere vos elegit Dominus ut stetis coram eo et ministretis illi colatis eum et cremetis incensum
12 Then the Leuites arose, Mahath ye sonne of Amashai, and Ioel the sonne of Azariah of the sonnes of the Kohathites: and of the sonnes of Merari, Kish the sonne of Abdi, and Azariah the sonne of Iehalelel: and of the Gershonites, Ioah the sonne of Zimmah, and Eden the sonne of Ioah:
surrexerunt ergo Levitae Maath filius Amasiae et Iohel filius Azariae de filiis Caath porro de filiis Merari Cis filius Abdai et Azarias filius Iallelel de filiis autem Gersom Ioha filius Zemma et Eden filius Ioaha
13 And of the sonnes of Elizaphan, Shimri, and Iehiel: and of the sonnes of Asaph, Zechariah, and Mattaniah:
at vero de filiis Elisaphan Samri et Iahihel de filiis quoque Asaph Zaccharias et Mathanias
14 And of the sonnes of Heman, Iehiel, and Shimei: and of the sonnes of Ieduthun, Shemaiah and Vzziel.
necnon de filiis Heman Iahihel et Semei sed et de filiis Idithun Semeias et Ozihel
15 And they gathered their brethren, and sanctified themselues and came according to the commandement of the King, and by the words of the Lord, for to clense the house of the Lord.
congregaveruntque fratres suos et sanctificati sunt et ingressi iuxta mandatum regis et imperium Domini ut expiarent domum Dei
16 And the Priests went into the inner partes of the house of the Lord, to clense it, and brought out all the vncleannesse that they founde in the Temple of the Lord, into the court of the house of the Lord: and the Leuites tooke it, to cary it out vnto the brooke Kidron.
sacerdotes quoque ingressi templum Domini ut sanctificarent illud extulerunt omnem inmunditiam quam intro reppererant in vestibulum domus Domini quam tulerunt Levitae et asportaverunt ad torrentem Cedron foras
17 They began the first day of the first moneth to sanctifie it, and the eight day of the moneth came they to the porche of the Lord: so they sanctified the house of the Lord in eight dayes, and in the sixeteenth day of the first moneth they made an ende.
coeperunt autem prima die mensis primi mundare et in die octava eiusdem mensis ingressi sunt porticum templi Domini expiaveruntque templum diebus octo et in die sextadecima mensis eiusdem quod coeperant impleverunt
18 Then they went in to Hezekiah ye King, and sayde, We haue clensed all the house of the Lord and the altar of burnt offring, with all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread table, with all the vessels thereof:
ingressi quoque sunt ad Ezechiam regem et dixerunt ei sanctificavimus omnem domum Domini et altare holocaustoseos vasaque eius necnon et mensam propositionis cum omnibus vasis suis
19 And all the vessels which King Ahaz had cast aside when he reigned, and transgressed, haue we prepared and sanctified: and beholde, they are before the altar of the Lord.
cunctamque templi supellectilem quam polluerat rex Achaz in regno suo postquam praevaricatus est et ecce exposita sunt omnia coram altari Domini
20 And Hezekiah the King rose early, and gathered the princes of the citie, and went vp to the house of the Lord.
consurgensque diluculo Ezechias rex adunavit omnes principes civitatis et ascendit domum Domini
21 And they brought seuen bullockes, and seuen rammes, and seuen lambes, and seuen hee goates, for a sinne offring for the kingdome, and for the sanctuarie, and for Iudah. And he commanded the Priests the sonnes of Aaron, to offer them on the altar of the Lord.
obtuleruntque simul tauros septem arietes septem agnos septem et hircos septem pro peccato pro regno pro sanctuario pro Iuda dixit quoque sacerdotibus filiis Aaron ut offerrent super altare Domini
22 So they slewe the bullockes, and the Priests receiued the blood, and sprinkled it vpon the altar: they slew also the rammes and sprinkled the blood vpon the altar, and they slew the lambes, and they sprinkled the blood vpon the altar.
mactaverunt igitur tauros et susceperunt sacerdotes sanguinem et fuderunt illud super altare mactaverunt etiam arietes et illorum sanguinem super altare fuderunt immolaverunt agnos et fuderunt super altare sanguinem
23 Then they brought the hee goates for the sinne offring before the King and the Congregation, and they layde their hands vpon them.
adplicaverunt hircos pro peccato coram rege et universa multitudine inposueruntque manus suas super eos
24 And the Priests slewe them, and with the blood of them they clensed the altar to reconcile all Israel: for the King had commanded for all Israel the burnt offring and the sinne offring.
et immolaverunt illos sacerdotes et asperserunt sanguinem eorum altari pro piaculo universi Israhelis pro omni quippe Israhel praeceperat rex ut holocaustum fieret et pro peccato
25 He appointed also the Leuites in the house of the Lord with cymbales, with violes, and with harpes, according to the commandement of Dauid, and Gad the Kings Seer, and Nathan the Prophet: for the commandement was by the hande of the Lord, and by the hande of his Prophets.
constituit quoque Levitas in domo Domini cum cymbalis et psalteriis et citharis secundum dispositionem David et Gad videntis regis et Nathan prophetae siquidem Domini praeceptum fuit per manum prophetarum eius
26 And the Leuites stood with the instruments of Dauid, and the Priests with the trumpets.
steteruntque Levitae tenentes organa David et sacerdotes tubas
27 And Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt offring vpon the altar: and when the burnt offring began, the song of the Lord beganne with the trumpets, and the instruments of Dauid King of Israel.
et iussit Ezechias ut offerrent holocaustum super altare cumque offerrentur holocausta coeperunt laudes canere Domino et clangere tubis atque in diversis organis quae David rex Israhel reppererat concrepare
28 And al the Congregation worshipped, singing a song, and they blew the trumpets: all this continued vntill the burnt offring was finished.
omni autem turba adorante cantores et hii qui tenebant tubas erant in officio suo donec conpleretur holocaustum
29 And when they had made an ende of offring, the King and all that were present with him, bowed themselues, and worshipped.
cumque finita esset oblatio incurvatus est rex et omnes qui erant cum eo et adoraverunt
30 Then Hezekiah the King and the princes commanded the Leuites to prayse the Lord with the wordes of Dauid, and of Asaph the Seer. so they praysed with ioy, and they bowed themselues, and worshipped.
praecepitque Ezechias et principes Levitis ut laudarent Dominum sermonibus David et Asaph videntis qui laudaverunt eum magna laetitia et curvato genu adoraverunt
31 And Hezekiah spake, and sayde, Now ye haue consecrate your selues to the Lord: come neere and bring the sacrifices and offerings of prayse into the house of the Lord. And the Congregation brought sacrifices; and offrings of prayses, and euery man that was willing in heart, offred burnt offrings.
Ezechias autem etiam haec addidit implestis manus vestras Domino accedite et offerte victimas et laudes in domo Domini obtulit ergo universa multitudo hostias et laudes et holocausta mente devota
32 And the nomber of the burnt offrings, which the Congregation brought, was seuentie bullockes, an hundreth rammes, and two hundreth lambes: all these were for a burnt offring to the Lord:
porro numerus holocaustorum quae obtulit multitudo hic fuit tauros septuaginta arietes centum agnos ducentos
33 And for sanctification sixe hundreth bullockes, and three thousand sheepe.
sanctificaveruntque Domino boves sescentos et oves tria milia
34 But the Priests were too few, and were not able to flay all the burnt offrings: therefore their brethren the Leuites did helpe them, til they had ended the worke, and vntill other Priests were sanctified: for the Leuites were more vpright in heart to sanctifie themselues, then the Priests.
sacerdotes vero pauci erant nec poterant sufficere ut pelles holocaustorum detraherent unde et Levitae fratres eorum adiuverunt eos donec impleretur opus et sanctificarentur antistites Levitae quippe faciliori ritu sanctificantur quam sacerdotes
35 And also the burnt offerings were many with the fat of the peace offrings and the drinke offrings for the burnt offring. so the seruice of the house of the Lord was set in order.
fuerunt igitur holocausta plurima adipes pacificorum et libamina holocaustorum et conpletus est cultus domus Domini
36 Then Hezekiah reioyced and all the people, that God had made the people so ready: for the thing was done suddenly.
laetatusque est Ezechias et omnis populus eo quod ministerium Domini esset expletum de repente quippe hoc fieri placuerat
