2 Chronicles 29
1 Hezekiah began to reign when he was five and twenty years old; and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Abijah 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 he did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that David his father had done.
fecitque quod erat placitum in conspectu Domini iuxta omnia quae fecerat David pater eius
3 He in the first year of his reign, in the first month, opened the door of the house of the LORD, and repaired them.
ipse anno et mense primo regni sui aperuit valvas domus Domini et instauravit eas
4 And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them together into the broad place on the east,
adduxitque sacerdotes atque Levitas et congregavit eos in plateam orientalem
5 and said unto them, Hear me, ye Levites; now sanctify yourselves, and sanctify the house of the LORD, the God of your fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the holy place.
dixitque ad eos audite me Levitae et sanctificamini mundate domum Domini Dei patrum vestrorum auferte omnem inmunditiam de sanctuario
6 For our fathers have trespassed, and done that which was evil in the sight of the LORD our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of the LORD, and turned their backs.
peccaverunt patres nostri et fecerunt malum in conspectu Domini Dei nostri derelinquentes eum averterunt facies suas a tabernaculo Domini et praebuerunt dorsum
7 Also they have shut up the doors of the porch, and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense nor offered burnt offerings in the holy place unto 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 Wherefore the wrath of the LORD was upon Judah and Jerusalem, and he hath delivered them to be tossed to and fro, to be an astonishment, 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 have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this.
en corruerunt patres nostri gladiis filii nostri et filiae nostrae et coniuges captivae ductae sunt propter hoc scelus
10 Now it is in mine heart to make a covenant with the LORD, the God of Israel, that his fierce anger may turn away from us.
nunc igitur placet mihi ut ineamus foedus cum Domino Deo Israhel et avertat a nobis furorem irae suae
11 My sons, be not now negligent: for the LORD hath chosen you to stand before him, to minister unto him, and that ye should be his ministers, and burn incense.
filii mi nolite neglegere vos elegit Dominus ut stetis coram eo et ministretis illi colatis eum et cremetis incensum
12 Then the Levites arose, Mahath the son of Amasai, and Joel the son of Azariah, of the sons of the Kohathites: and of the sons of Merari, Kish the son of Abdi, and Azariah the son of Jehallelel: and of the Gershonites, Joah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joah:
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 sons of Elizaphan, Shimri and Jeuel: and of the sons of Asaph, Zechariah and Mattaniah:
at vero de filiis Elisaphan Samri et Iahihel de filiis quoque Asaph Zaccharias et Mathanias
14 and of the sons of Heman, Jehuel and Shimei: and of the sons of Jeduthun, Shemaiah and Uzziel.
necnon de filiis Heman Iahihel et Semei sed et de filiis Idithun Semeias et Ozihel
15 And they gathered their brethren, and sanctified themselves, and went in, according to the commandment of the king by the words of the LORD, to cleanse 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 in unto the inner part of the house of the LORD, to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of the LORD into the court of the house of the LORD. And the Levites took it, to carry it out abroad to the brook 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 Now they began on the first [day] of the first month to sanctify, and on the eighth day of the month came they to the porch of the LORD; and they sanctified the house of the LORD in eight days: and on the sixteenth day of the first month they made an end.
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 the king within [the palace], and said, We have cleansed all the house of the LORD, and the altar of burnt offering, with all the vessels thereof, and the table of shewbread, 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 Moreover all the vessels, which king Ahaz in his reign did cast away when he trespassed, have we prepared and sanctified; and, behold, 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 Then Hezekiah the king arose early, and gathered the princes of the city, and went up to the house of the LORD.
consurgensque diluculo Ezechias rex adunavit omnes principes civitatis et ascendit domum Domini
21 And they brought seven bullocks; and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven he-goats, for a sin offering for the kingdom and for the sanctuary and for Judah. And he commanded the priests the sons 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 killed the bullocks, and the priests received the blood, and sprinkled it on the altar: and they killed the rams, and sprinkled the blood upon the altar: they killed also the lambs, and sprinkled the blood upon 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 And they brought near the he-goats for the sin offering before the king and the congregation; and they laid their hands upon them:
adplicaverunt hircos pro peccato coram rege et universa multitudine inposueruntque manus suas super eos
24 and the priests killed them, and they made a sin offering with their blood upon the altar, to make atonement for all Israel: for the king commanded [that] the burnt offering and the sin offering [should be made] for all Israel.
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 And he set the Levites in the house of the LORD with cymbals with psalteries, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, and of Gad the king’s seer, and Nathan the prophet: for the commandment was of the LORD by 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 Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.
steteruntque Levitae tenentes organa David et sacerdotes tubas
27 And Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt offering upon the altar, And when the burnt offering began, the song of the LORD began also, and the trumpets, together with the instruments of David 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 all the congregation worshipped, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded; all this [continued] until the burnt offering 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 end of offering, the king and all that were present with him bowed themselves and worshipped.
cumque finita esset oblatio incurvatus est rex et omnes qui erant cum eo et adoraverunt
30 Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praises unto the LORD with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads 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 Then Hezekiah answered and said, Now ye have consecrated yourselves unto the LORD, come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into the house of the LORD. And the congregation brought in sacrifices and thank offerings; and as many as were of a willing heart [brought] burnt offerings.
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 number of the burnt offerings, which the congregation brought, was threescore and ten bullocks, an hundred rams, and two hundred lambs: all these were for a burnt offering to the LORD.
porro numerus holocaustorum quae obtulit multitudo hic fuit tauros septuaginta arietes centum agnos ducentos
33 And the consecrated things were six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep.
sanctificaveruntque Domino boves sescentos et oves tria milia
34 But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all the burnt offerings: wherefore their brethren the Levites did help them, till the work was ended, and until the priests had sanctified themselves: for the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify themselves than 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 in abundance, with the fat of the peace offerings, and with the drink offerings for every burnt offering. So the service 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 And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, because of that which God had prepared for the people: for the thing was done suddenly.
laetatusque est Ezechias et omnis populus eo quod ministerium Domini esset expletum de repente quippe hoc fieri placuerat
