1 Hezekiah3169 began to reign4427 when he was five2568 and twenty6242 years8141 old,1121 and he reigned4427 nine8672 and twenty6242 years8141 in Jerusalem.3389 And his mother's517 name8034 was Abijah,29 the daughter1323 of Zechariah.2148 2 And he did6213 that which was right3477 in the sight5869 of the LORD,3068 according to all3605 that834 David1732 his father1 had done.6213 3 He1931 in the first7223 year8141 of his reign,4427 in the first7223 month,2320 opened6605 853 the doors1817 of the house1004 of the LORD,3068 and repaired2388 them. 4 And he brought in935 853 the priests3548 and the Levites,3881 and gathered them together622 into the east4217 street,7339 5 And said559 unto them, Hear8085 me, ye Levites,3881 sanctify now yourselves,6942 6258 and sanctify6942 853 the house1004 of the LORD3068 God430 of your fathers,1 and carry forth3318 853 the filthiness5079 out of4480 the holy6944 place. 6 For3588 our fathers1 have trespassed,4603 and done6213 that which was evil7451 in the eyes5869 of the LORD3068 our God,430 and have forsaken5800 him, and have turned away5437 their faces6440 from the habitation4480 4908 of the LORD,3068 and turned5414 their backs.6203 7 Also1571 they have shut up5462 the doors1817 of the porch,197 and put out3518 853 the lamps,5216 and have not3808 burned6999 incense7004 nor3808 offered5927 burnt offerings5930 in the holy6944 place unto the God430 of Israel.3478 8 Wherefore the wrath7110 of the LORD3068 was1961 upon5921 Judah3063 and Jerusalem,3389 and he hath delivered5414 them to trouble,2189 to astonishment,8047 and to hissing,8322 as834 ye859 see7200 with your eyes.5869 9 For, lo,2009 our fathers1 have fallen5307 by the sword,2719 and our sons1121 and our daughters1323 and our wives802 are in captivity7628 for5921 this.2063 10 Now6258 it is in5973 mine heart3824 to make3772 a covenant1285 with the LORD3068 God430 of Israel,3478 that his fierce2740 wrath639 may turn away7725 from4480 us. 11 My sons,1121 be not408 now6258 negligent:7952 for3588 the LORD3068 hath chosen977 you to stand5975 before6440 him, to serve8334 him, and that ye should minister1961 8334 unto him, and burn incense.6999 12 Then the Levites3881 arose,6965 Mahath4287 the son1121 of Amasai,6022 and Joel3100 the son1121 of Azariah,5838 of4480 the sons1121 of the Kohathites:6956 and of4480 the sons1121 of Merari,4847 Kish7027 the son1121 of Abdi,5660 and Azariah5838 the son1121 of Jehalelel:3094 and of4480 the Gershonites;1649 Joah3098 the son1121 of Zimmah,2155 and Eden5731 the son1121 of Joah:3098 13 And of4480 the sons1121 of Elizaphan;469 Shimri,8113 and Jeiel:3273 and of4480 the sons1121 of Asaph;623 Zechariah,2148 and Mattaniah:4983 14 And of4480 the sons1121 of Heman;1968 Jehiel,3171 and Shimei:8096 and of4480 the sons1121 of Jeduthun;3038 Shemaiah,8098 and Uzziel.5816 15 And they gathered622 853 their brethren,251 and sanctified themselves,6942 and came,935 according to the commandment4687 of the king,4428 by the words1697 of the LORD,3068 to cleanse2891 the house1004 of the LORD.3068 16 And the priests3548 went935 into the inner part6441 of the house1004 of the LORD,3068 to cleanse2891 it, and brought out3318 853 all3605 the uncleanness2932 that834 they found4672 in the temple1964 of the LORD3068 into the court2691 of the house1004 of the LORD.3068 And the Levites3881 took6901 it, to carry it out3318 abroad2351 into the brook5158 Kidron.6939 17 Now they began2490 on the first259 day of the first7223 month2320 to sanctify,6942 and on the eighth8083 day3117 of the month2320 came935 they to the porch197 of the LORD:3068 so they sanctified6942 853 the house1004 of the LORD3068 in eight8083 days;3117 and in the sixteenth8337 6240 day3117 of the first7223 month2320 they made an end.3615 18 Then they went935 in6441 to413 Hezekiah2396 the king,4428 and said,559 We have cleansed2891 853 all3605 the house1004 of the LORD,3068 and the altar4196 of burnt offering,5930 with all3605 the vessels3627 thereof, and the shewbread4635 table,7979 with 853 all3605 the vessels3627 thereof. 19 Moreover all3605 the vessels,3627 which834 king4428 Ahaz271 in his reign4438 did cast away2186 in his transgression,4604 have we prepared3559 and sanctified,6942 and, behold,2009 they are before6440 the altar4196 of the LORD.3068 20 Then Hezekiah3169 the king4428 rose early,7925 and gathered622 853 the rulers8269 of the city,5892 and went up5927 to the house1004 of the LORD.3068 21 And they brought935 seven7651 bullocks,6499 and seven7651 rams,352 and seven7651 lambs,3532 and seven7651 he goats,6842 5795 for a sin offering2403 for5921 the kingdom,4467 and for5921 the sanctuary,4720 and for5921 Judah.3063 And he commanded559 the priests3548 the sons1121 of Aaron175 to offer5927 them on5921 the altar4196 of the LORD.3068 22 So they killed7819 the bullocks,1241 and the priests3548 received6901 853 the blood,1818 and sprinkled2236 it on the altar:4196 likewise, when they had killed7819 the rams,352 they sprinkled2236 the blood1818 upon the altar:4196 they killed7819 also the lambs,3532 and they sprinkled2236 the blood1818 upon the altar.4196 23 And they brought forth5066 853 the he goats8163 for the sin offering2403 before6440 the king4428 and the congregation;6951 and they laid5564 their hands3027 upon5921 them: 24 And the priests3548 killed7819 them, and they made reconciliation2398 with854 their blood1818 upon the altar,4196 to make an atonement3722 for5921 all3605 Israel:3478 for3588 the king4428 commanded559 that the burnt offering5930 and the sin offering2403 should be made for all3605 Israel.3478 25 And he set5975 853 the Levites3881 in the house1004 of the LORD3068 with cymbals,4700 with psalteries,5035 and with harps,3658 according to the commandment4687 of David,1732 and of Gad1410 the king's4428 seer,2374 and Nathan5416 the prophet:5030 for3588 so was the commandment4687 of the LORD3068 by3027 his prophets.5030 26 And the Levites3881 stood5975 with the instruments3627 of David,1732 and the priests3548 with the trumpets.2689 27 And Hezekiah2396 commanded559 to offer5927 the burnt offering5930 upon the altar.4196 And when6256 the burnt offering5930 began,2490 the song7892 of the LORD3068 began2490 also with the trumpets,2689 and with5921 the instruments3027 3627 ordained by David1732 king4428 of Israel.3478 28 And all3605 the congregation6951 worshiped,7812 and the singers7892 sang,7891 and the trumpeters2689 sounded:2690 and all3605 this continued until5704 the burnt offering5930 was finished.3615 29 And when they had made an end3615 of offering,5927 the king4428 and all3605 that were present4672 with854 him bowed3766 themselves, and worshiped.7812 30 Moreover Hezekiah3169 the king4428 and the princes8269 commanded559 the Levites3881 to sing praise1984 unto the LORD3068 with the words1697 of David,1732 and of Asaph623 the seer.2374 And they sang praises1984 with5704 gladness,8057 and they bowed their heads6915 and worshiped.7812 31 Then Hezekiah3169 answered6030 and said,559 Now6258 ye have consecrated4390 3027 yourselves unto the LORD,3068 come near5066 and bring935 sacrifices2077 and thank offerings8426 into the house1004 of the LORD.3068 And the congregation6951 brought in935 sacrifices2077 and thank offerings;8426 and as many as3605 were of a free5081 heart3820 burnt offerings.5930 32 And the number4557 of the burnt offerings,5930 which834 the congregation6951 brought,935 was1961 threescore and ten7657 bullocks,1241 a hundred3967 rams,352 and two hundred3967 lambs:3532 all3605 these428 were for a burnt offering5930 to the LORD.3068 33 And the consecrated things6944 were six8337 hundred3967 oxen1241 and three7969 thousand505 sheep.6629 34 But7535 the priests3548 were1961 too few,4592 so that they could3201 not3808 flay6584 853 all3605 the burnt offerings:5930 wherefore their brethren251 the Levites3881 did help2388 them, till5704 the work4399 was ended,3615 and until5704 the other priests3548 had sanctified themselves:6942 for3588 the Levites3881 were more upright3477 in heart3824 to sanctify themselves6942 than the priests.4480 3548 35 And also1571 the burnt offerings5930 were in abundance,7230 with the fat2459 of the peace offerings,8002 and the drink offerings5262 for every burnt offering.5930 So the service5656 of the house1004 of the LORD3068 was set in order.3559 36 And Hezekiah3169 rejoiced,8055 and all3605 the people,5971 that5921 God430 had prepared3559 the people:5971 for3588 the thing1697 was1961 done suddenly.6597 |
1 καὶ Εζεκιας ἐβασίλευσεν ὢν εἴκοσι καὶ πέντε ἐτῶν καὶ εἴκοσι καὶ ἐννέα ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ιερουσαλημ καὶ ὄνομα τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ Αββα θυγάτηρ Ζαχαρια 2 καὶ ἐποίησεν τὸ εὐθὲς ἐνώπιον κυρίου κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησεν Δαυιδ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ 3 καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἔστη ἐπὶ τῆς βασιλείας αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ πρώτῳ μηνὶ ἀνέῳξεν τὰς θύρας οἴκου κυρίου καὶ ἐπεσκεύασεν αὐτάς 4 καὶ εἰσήγαγεν τοὺς ἱερεῖς καὶ τοὺς Λευίτας καὶ κατέστησεν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸ κλίτος τὸ πρὸς ἀνατολὰς 5 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ἀκούσατε οἱ Λευῖται νῦν ἁγνίσθητε καὶ ἁγνίσατε τὸν οἶκον κυρίου θεοῦ τῶν πατέρων ὑμῶν καὶ ἐκβάλετε τὴν ἀκαθαρσίαν ἐκ τῶν ἁγίων 6 ὅτι ἀπέστησαν οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν καὶ ἐποίησαν τὸ πονηρὸν ἐναντίον κυρίου καὶ ἐγκατέλιπαν αὐτὸν καὶ ἀπέστρεψαν τὸ πρόσωπον ἀπὸ τῆς σκηνῆς κυρίου καὶ ἔδωκαν αὐχένα 7 καὶ ἀπέκλεισαν τὰς θύρας τοῦ ναοῦ καὶ ἔσβεσαν τοὺς λύχνους καὶ θυμίαμα οὐκ ἐθυμίασαν καὶ ὁλοκαυτώματα οὐ προσήνεγκαν ἐν τῷ ἁγίῳ θεῷ Ισραηλ 8 καὶ ὠργίσθη ὀργῇ κύριος ἐπὶ τὸν Ιουδαν καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν Ιερουσαλημ καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτοὺς εἰς ἔκστασιν καὶ εἰς ἀφανισμὸν καὶ εἰς συρισμόν ὡς ὑμεῖς ὁρᾶτε τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς ὑμῶν 9 καὶ ἰδοὺ πεπλήγασιν οἱ πατέρες ὑμῶν μαχαίρᾳ καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ ὑμῶν καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες ὑμῶν καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες ὑμῶν ἐν αἰχμαλωσίᾳ ἐν γῇ οὐκ αὐτῶν ὃ καὶ νῦν ἐστιν 10 ἐπὶ τούτοις νῦν ἐστιν ἐπὶ καρδίας διαθέσθαι διαθήκην κυρίου θεοῦ Ισραηλ καὶ ἀποστρέψει τὴν ὀργὴν θυμοῦ αὐτοῦ ἀφ᾽ ἡμῶν 11 καὶ νῦν μὴ διαλίπητε ὅτι ἐν ὑμῖν ᾑρέτικεν κύριος στῆναι ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ λειτουργεῖν καὶ εἶναι αὐτῷ λειτουργοῦντας καὶ θυμιῶντας 12 καὶ ἀνέστησαν οἱ Λευῖται Μααθ ὁ τοῦ Αμασι καὶ Ιωηλ ὁ τοῦ Αζαριου ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν Κααθ καὶ ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν Μεραρι Κις ὁ τοῦ Αβδι καὶ Αζαριας ὁ τοῦ Ιαλλεληλ καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Γεδσωνι Ιωα ὁ τοῦ Ζεμμαθ καὶ Ιωδαν ὁ τοῦ Ιωαχα 13 καὶ τῶν υἱῶν Ελισαφαν Σαμβρι καὶ Ιιηλ καὶ τῶν υἱῶν Ασαφ Ζαχαριας καὶ Μαθθανιας 14 καὶ τῶν υἱῶν Αιμαν Ιιηλ καὶ Σεμεϊ καὶ τῶν υἱῶν Ιδιθων Σαμαιας καὶ Οζιηλ 15 καὶ συνήγαγον τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτῶν καὶ ἡγνίσθησαν κατὰ τὴν ἐντολὴν τοῦ βασιλέως διὰ προστάγματος κυρίου καθαρίσαι τὸν οἶκον κυρίου 16 καὶ εἰσῆλθον οἱ ἱερεῖς ἔσω εἰς τὸν οἶκον κυρίου ἁγνίσαι καὶ ἐξέβαλον πᾶσαν τὴν ἀκαθαρσίαν τὴν εὑρεθεῖσαν ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ κυρίου καὶ εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν οἴκου κυρίου καὶ ἐδέξαντο οἱ Λευῖται ἐκβαλεῖν εἰς τὸν χειμάρρουν Κεδρων ἔξω 17 καὶ ἤρξαντο τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ πρώτῃ νουμηνίᾳ τοῦ μηνὸς τοῦ πρώτου ἁγνίσαι καὶ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ὀγδόῃ τοῦ μηνὸς εἰσῆλθαν εἰς τὸν ναὸν κυρίου καὶ ἥγνισαν τὸν οἶκον κυρίου ἐν ἡμέραις ὀκτὼ καὶ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑκκαιδεκάτῃ τοῦ μηνὸς τοῦ πρώτου συνετέλεσαν 18 καὶ εἰσῆλθαν ἔσω πρὸς Εζεκιαν τὸν βασιλέα καὶ εἶπαν ἡγνίσαμεν πάντα τὰ ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου τὸ θυσιαστήριον τῆς ὁλοκαυτώσεως καὶ τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν τράπεζαν τῆς προθέσεως καὶ τὰ σκεύη αὐτῆς 19 καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη ἃ ἐμίανεν Αχαζ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ ἀποστασίᾳ αὐτοῦ ἡτοιμάκαμεν καὶ ἡγνίκαμεν ἰδού ἐστιν ἐναντίον τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου κυρίου 20 καὶ ὤρθρισεν Εζεκιας ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ συνήγαγεν τοὺς ἄρχοντας τῆς πόλεως καὶ ἀνέβη εἰς οἶκον κυρίου 21 καὶ ἀνήνεγκεν μόσχους ἑπτά κριοὺς ἑπτά ἀμνοὺς ἑπτά χιμάρους αἰγῶν ἑπτὰ περὶ ἁμαρτίας περὶ τῆς βασιλείας καὶ περὶ τῶν ἁγίων καὶ περὶ Ισραηλ καὶ εἶπεν τοῖς υἱοῖς Ααρων τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν ἀναβαίνειν ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον κυρίου 22 καὶ ἔθυσαν τοὺς μόσχους καὶ ἐδέξαντο οἱ ἱερεῖς τὸ αἷμα καὶ προσέχεον ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον καὶ ἔθυσαν τοὺς κριούς καὶ προσέχεον τὸ αἷμα ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον καὶ ἔθυσαν τοὺς ἀμνούς καὶ περιέχεον τὸ αἷμα τῷ θυσιαστηρίῳ 23 καὶ προσήγαγον τοὺς χιμάρους τοὺς περὶ ἁμαρτίας ἐναντίον τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τῆς ἐκκλησίας καὶ ἐπέθηκαν τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν ἐπ᾽ αὐτούς 24 καὶ ἔθυσαν αὐτοὺς οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ ἐξιλάσαντο τὸ αἷμα αὐτῶν πρὸς τὸ θυσιαστήριον καὶ ἐξιλάσαντο περὶ παντὸς Ισραηλ ὅτι περὶ παντὸς Ισραηλ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς ἡ ὁλοκαύτωσις καὶ τὰ περὶ ἁμαρτίας 25 καὶ ἔστησεν τοὺς Λευίτας ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου ἐν κυμβάλοις καὶ ἐν νάβλαις καὶ ἐν κινύραις κατὰ τὴν ἐντολὴν Δαυιδ τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ Γαδ τοῦ ὁρῶντος τῷ βασιλεῖ καὶ Ναθαν τοῦ προφήτου ὅτι δι᾽ ἐντολῆς κυρίου τὸ πρόσταγμα ἐν χειρὶ τῶν προφητῶν 26 καὶ ἔστησαν οἱ Λευῖται ἐν ὀργάνοις Δαυιδ καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς ταῖς σάλπιγξιν 27 καὶ εἶπεν Εζεκιας ἀνενέγκαι τὴν ὁλοκαύτωσιν ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον καὶ ἐν τῷ ἄρξασθαι ἀναφέρειν τὴν ὁλοκαύτωσιν ἤρξαντο ᾄδειν κυρίῳ καὶ αἱ σάλπιγγες πρὸς τὰ ὄργανα Δαυιδ βασιλέως Ισραηλ 28 καὶ πᾶσα ἡ ἐκκλησία προσεκύνει καὶ οἱ ψαλτῳδοὶ ᾄδοντες καὶ αἱ σάλπιγγες σαλπίζουσαι ἕως οὗ συνετελέσθη ἡ ὁλοκαύτωσις 29 καὶ ὡς συνετέλεσαν ἀναφέροντες ἔκαμψεν ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ πάντες οἱ εὑρεθέντες καὶ προσεκύνησαν 30 καὶ εἶπεν Εζεκιας ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες τοῖς Λευίταις ὑμνεῖν τὸν κύριον ἐν λόγοις Δαυιδ καὶ Ασαφ τοῦ προφήτου καὶ ὕμνουν ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ καὶ ἔπεσον καὶ προσεκύνησαν 31 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Εζεκιας καὶ εἶπεν νῦν ἐπληρώσατε τὰς χεῖρας ὑμῶν κυρίῳ προσαγάγετε καὶ φέρετε θυσίας καὶ αἰνέσεως εἰς οἶκον κυρίου καὶ ἀνήνεγκεν ἡ ἐκκλησία θυσίας καὶ αἰνέσεως εἰς οἶκον κυρίου καὶ πᾶς πρόθυμος τῇ καρδίᾳ ὁλοκαυτώσεις 32 καὶ ἐγένετο ὁ ἀριθμὸς τῆς ὁλοκαυτώσεως ἧς ἀνήνεγκεν ἡ ἐκκλησία μόσχοι ἑβδομήκοντα κριοὶ ἑκατόν ἀμνοὶ διακόσιοι εἰς ὁλοκαύτωσιν κυρίῳ πάντα ταῦτα 33 καὶ οἱ ἡγιασμένοι μόσχοι ἑξακόσιοι πρόβατα τρισχίλια 34 ἀλλ᾽ ἢ οἱ ἱερεῖς ὀλίγοι ἦσαν καὶ οὐκ ἐδύναντο δεῖραι τὴν ὁλοκαύτωσιν καὶ ἀντελάβοντο αὐτῶν οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτῶν οἱ Λευῖται ἕως οὗ συνετελέσθη τὸ ἔργον καὶ ἕως οὗ ἡγνίσθησαν οἱ ἱερεῖς ὅτι οἱ Λευῖται προθύμως ἡγνίσθησαν παρὰ τοὺς ἱερεῖς 35 καὶ ἡ ὁλοκαύτωσις πολλὴ ἐν τοῖς στέασιν τῆς τελειώσεως τοῦ σωτηρίου καὶ τῶν σπονδῶν τῆς ὁλοκαυτώσεως καὶ κατωρθώθη τὸ ἔργον ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου 36 καὶ ηὐφράνθη Εζεκιας καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς διὰ τὸ ἡτοιμακέναι τὸν θεὸν τῷ λαῷ ὅτι ἐξάπινα ἐγένετο ὁ λόγος |

1 Igitur Ezechias regnare cpit, cum viginti quinque esset annorum, et viginti novem annis regnavit in Jerusalem: nomen matris ejus Abia filia Zachariæ. 2 Fecitque quod erat placitum in conspectu Domini, juxta omnia quæ fecerat David pater ejus. 3 Ipse, anno et mense primo regni sui, aperuit valvas domus Domini, et instauravit eas. 4 Adduxitque sacerdotes atque Levitas, et congregavit eos in plateam orientalem. 5 Dixitque ad eos: Audite me, Levitæ, et sanctificamini: mundate domum Domini Dei patrum vestrorum, et auferte omnem immunditiam de sanctuario. 6 Peccaverunt patres nostri, et fecerunt malum in conspectu Domini Dei nostri, derelinquentes eum: averterunt facies suas a tabernaculo Domini, et præbuerunt dorsum. 7 Clauserunt ostia quæ erant in porticu, et extinxerunt lucernas, incensumque non adoleverunt, et holocausta non obtulerunt in sanctuario Deo Israël. 8 Concitatus est itaque furor Domini super Judam et Jerusalem, tradiditque eos in commotionem, et in interitum, et in sibilum, sicut ipsi cernitis oculis vestris. 9 En corruerunt patres nostri gladiis: filii nostri, et filiæ nostræ, et conjuges captivæ ductæ sunt propter hoc scelus. 10 Nunc ergo placet mihi ut ineamus fdus cum Domino Deo Israël, et avertet a nobis furorem iræ suæ. 11 Filii mei, nolite negligere: vos elegit Dominus ut stetis coram eo, et ministretis illi, colatisque eum, et cremetis ei incensum. 12 Surrexerunt ergo Levitæ: Mahath filius Amasai, et Joël filius Azariæ de filiis Caath: porro de filiis Merari, Cis filius Abdi, et Azarias filius Jalaleel. De filiis autem Gersom, Joah filius Zemma, et Eden filius Joah. 13 At vero de filiis Elisaphan, Samri, et Jahiel. De filiis quoque Asaph, Zacharias, et Mathanias: 14 necnon de filiis Heman, Jahiel, et Semei: sed et de filiis Idithun, Semeias, et Oziel. 15 Congregaveruntque fratres suos, et sanctificati sunt, et ingressi sunt juxta mandatum regis et imperium Domini, ut expiarent domum Dei. 16 Sacerdotes quoque ingressi templum Domini ut sanctificarent illud, extulerunt omnem immunditiam quam intro repererant in vestibulo domus Domini: quam tulerunt Levitæ, et asportaverunt ad torrentem Cedron foras. 17 Cperunt autem prima die mensis primi mundare, et in die octavo ejusdem mensis ingressi sunt porticum templi Domini, expiaveruntque templum diebus octo, et in die sextadecima mensis ejusdem, quod cperant, impleverunt. 18 Ingressi quoque sunt ad Ezechiam regem, et dixerunt ei: Sanctificavimus omnem domum Domini, et altare holocausti, vasaque ejus, necnon et mensam propositionis cum omnibus vasis suis, 19 cunctamque templi supellectilem, quam polluerat rex Achaz in regno suo, postquam prævaricatus est: et ecce exposita sunt omnia coram altare Domini. 20 Consurgensque diluculo Ezechias rex, adunavit omnes principes civitatis, et ascendit in domum Domini: 21 obtuleruntque simul tauros septem, et arietes septem, agnos septem, et hircos septem pro peccato, pro regno, pro sanctuario, pro Juda: dixitque sacerdotibus filiis Aaron, ut offerrent super altare Domini. 22 Mactaverunt igitur tauros, et susceperunt sanguinem sacerdotes, et fuderunt illum super altare: mactaverunt etiam arietes, et illorum sanguinem super altare fuderunt, immolaveruntque agnos, et fuderunt super altare sanguinem. 23 Applicuerunt hircos pro peccato coram rege, et universa multitudine, imposueruntque manus suas super eos: 24 et immolaverunt illos sacerdotes, et asperserunt sanguinem eorum coram altare pro piaculo universi Israëlis: pro omni quippe Israël præceperat rex ut holocaustum fieret, et pro peccato. 25 Constituit quoque Levitas in domo Domini cum cymbalis, et psalteriis, et citharis secundum dispositionem David regis, et Gad videntis, et Nathan prophetæ: siquidem Domini præceptum fuit per manum prophetarum ejus. 26 Steteruntque Levitæ tenentes organa David, et sacerdotes tubas. 27 Et jussit Ezechias ut offerrent holocausta super altare: cumque offerrentur holocausta, cperunt laudes canere Domino, et clangere tubis, atque in diversis organis quæ David rex Israël præparaverat, concrepare. 28 Omni autem turba adorante, cantores, et ii qui tenebant tubas, erant in officio suo donec compleretur holocaustum. 29 Cumque finita esset oblatio, incurvatus est rex, et omnes qui erant cum eo, et adoraverunt. 30 Præcepitque Ezechias et principes Levitis, ut laudarent Dominum sermonibus David, et Asaph videntis: qui laudaverunt eum magna lætitia, et incurvato genu adoraverunt. 31 Ezechias autem etiam hæc 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 Porro numerus holocaustorum quæ obtulit multitudo, hic fuit: tauros septuaginta, arietes centum, agnos ducentos. 33 Sanctificaveruntque Domino boves sexcentos, et oves tria millia. 34 Sacerdotes vero pauci erant, nec poterant sufficere ut pelles holocaustorum detraherent: unde et Levitæ fratres eorum adjuverunt eos, donec impleretur opus, et sanctificarentur antistites: Levitæ quippe faciliori ritu sanctificantur quam sacerdotes. 35 Fuerunt ergo holocausta plurima, adipes pacificorum, et libamina holocaustorum: et completus est cultus domus Domini. 36 Lætatusque est Ezechias et omnis populus, eo quod ministerium Domini esset expletum: de repente quippe hoc fieri placuerat. |
