2 Chronicles 29
1 Hezekiah began to reign being twenty-five years old; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Abijah, daughter of Zechariah.
Igitur Ezechias regnare coepit, cum vigintiquinque esset annorum, et vigintinovem annis regnavit in Ierusalem: nomen matris eius Abia, filia Zachariae.
2 And he did what was right in the sight of Jehovah, 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 doors of the house of Jehovah, 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 into the open place eastward;
adduxitque Sacerdotes atque Levitas, et congregavit eos in plateam Orientalem.
5 and he said to them, Hear me, ye Levites: hallow yourselves now, and hallow the house of Jehovah the God of your fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the sanctuary.
Dixitque ad eos: Audite me Levitae, et sanctificamini, mundate domum Domini Dei patrum vestrorum, et auferte omnem immunditiam de sanctuario.
6 For our fathers have transgressed, and done evil in the sight of Jehovah our God, and have forsaken him and turned away their faces from the habitation of Jehovah, and have 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 up burnt-offerings in the sanctuary to the God of Israel.
Clauserunt ostia, quae erant in porticu, et extinxerunt lucernas, incensumque non adoleverunt, et holocausta non obtulerunt in sanctuario Deo Israel.
8 Therefore the wrath of Jehovah has been upon Judah and Jerusalem, and he has delivered them to vexation, to desolation, and to hissing, as ye see with your eyes.
Concitatus est itaque furor Domini super Iudam et Ierusalem, tradiditque eos in commotionem, et in interitum, et in sibilum, sicut ipsi cernitis oculis vestris.
9 And behold, 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 my heart to make a covenant with Jehovah the God of Israel, that his fierce anger may turn away from us.
Nunc ergo placet mihi ut ineamus foedus cum Domino Deo Israel, et avertet a nobis furorem irae suae.
11 My sons, be not now negligent; for Jehovah has chosen you to stand before him, to do service unto him, and to be his ministers and incense-burners.
Filii mei nolite negligere: vos elegit Dominus ut stetis coram eo, et ministretis illi, colatisque eum, et cremetis ei incensum.
12 Then the Levites rose up, 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 Jehalleleel; and of the Gershonites, Joah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joah;
Surrexerunt ergo Levitae: Mahath filius Amasai, et Ioel filius Azariae de filiis Caath: Porro de filiis Merari, Cis filius Abdi, et Azarias filius Ialaleel. De filiis autem Gersom, Ioah filius Zemma, et Eden filius Ioah.
13 and of the sons of Elizaphan, Shimri and Jeiel; and of the sons of Asaph, Zechariah and Mattaniah;
At vero de filiis Elisaphan, Samri, et Iahiel. De filiis quoque Asaph, Zacharias, et Mathanias:
14 and of the sons of Heman, Jehiel and Shimei; and of the sons of Jeduthun, Shemaiah and Uzziel.
Necnon de filiis Heman, Iahiel, et Semei: Sed et de filiis Idithun, Semeias, et Oziel.
15 And they gathered their brethren, and hallowed themselves, and came, according to the commandment of the king by the words of Jehovah, to cleanse the house of Jehovah.
Congregaveruntque fratres suos, et sanctificati sunt, et ingressi sunt iuxta mandatum regis et imperium Domini, ut expiarent domum Dei.
16 And the priests went into the inner part of the house of Jehovah to cleanse it, and carried forth all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of Jehovah, into the court of the house of Jehovah. And the Levites took it to carry it forth into the brook Kidron.
Sacerdotes quoque ingressi templum Domini ut sanctificarent illud, extulerunt omnem immunditiam, quam intro repererant in vestibulo domus Domini, quam tulerunt Levitae, et asportaverunt ad Torrentem cedron foras.
17 And they began on the first of the first month to hallow, and on the eighth day of the month they came to the porch of Jehovah; and they hallowed the house of Jehovah 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 octavo eiusdem mensis ingressi sunt porticum templi Domini, expiaveruntque templum diebus octo, et in die sextadecima mensis eiusdem, quod coeperant impleverunt.
18 And they went in to king Hezekiah, and said, We have cleansed all the house of Jehovah, and the altar of burnt-offering with all its vessels, and the table of the [bread] to be set in rows, and all its vessels;
Ingressi quoque sunt ad Ezechiam regem, et dixerunt ei: Sanctificavimus omnem domum Domini, et altare holocausti, vasaque eius, necnon et mensam propositionis cum omnibus vasis suis,
19 and all the vessels that king Ahaz in his reign cast away in his transgression have we prepared and hallowed, and behold, they are before the altar of Jehovah.
cunctamque templi supellectilem, quam polluerat rex Achaz in regno suo, postquam praevaricatus est: et ecce exposita sunt omnia coram altare Domini.
20 And Hezekiah the king arose early, and gathered the princes of the city, and went up to the house of Jehovah.
Consurgensque diluculo Ezechias rex, adunavit omnes principes civitatis, et ascendit in 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] upon the altar of Jehovah.
obtuleruntque simul tauros septem, et arietes septem, agnos septem, et hircos septem pro peccato, pro regno, pro sanctuario, pro Iuda, dixitque sacerdotibus filiis Aaron ut offerrent super altare Domini.
22 And they slaughtered the bullocks, and the priests received the blood, and sprinkled it on the altar; and they slaughtered the rams, and sprinkled the blood on the altar; and they slaughtered the lambs, and sprinkled the blood on the altar.
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 And they brought near the he-goats of the sin-offering before the king and the congregation; and they laid their hands upon them.
Applicuerunt hircos pro peccato coram rege, et universa multitudine, imposueruntque manus suas super eos:
24 And the priests slaughtered them, and they made purification for sin with their blood upon the altar, to make an atonement for all Israel; because for all Israel, said the king, is the burnt-offering and the sin-offering.
et immolaverunt illos Sacerdotes, et asperserunt sanguinem eorum coram altare pro piaculo universi Israelis: pro omni quippe Israel praeceperat rex ut holocaustum fieret et pro peccato.
25 And he set the Levites in the house of Jehovah with cymbals, with lutes, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, and of Gad the king's seer, and of Nathan the prophet; for the commandment was of Jehovah through his prophets.
Constituit quoque Levitas in domo Domini cum cymbalis, et psalteriis, et citharis secundum dispositionem David regis, et Gad Videntis, 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 up the burnt-offering on the altar. And at the moment the burnt-offering began, the song of Jehovah began, and the trumpets, accompanied by the instruments of David king of Israel.
Et iussit Ezechias ut offerrent holocausta super altare: cumque offerrentur holocausta, coeperunt laudes canere Domino, et clangere tubis, atque in diversis organis, quae David rex Israel praeparaverat, concrepare.
28 And all the congregation worshipped, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded, all [the time] until the burnt-offering was finished.
Omni autem turba adorante, cantores, et ii, qui tenebant tubas, erant in officio suo donec compleretur holocaustum.
29 And when they had ended offering the burnt-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 And king Hezekiah and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praise to Jehovah with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and bowed their heads and worshipped.
Praecepitque Ezechias, et principes Levitis ut laudarent Dominum sermonibus David, et Asaph Videntis: qui laudaverunt eum magna laetitia, et incurvato genu adoraverunt.
31 And Hezekiah answered and said, Now ye have consecrated yourselves to Jehovah, 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, 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 seventy bullocks, a hundred rams, two hundred lambs: all these were for a burnt-offering to Jehovah.
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 sexcentos, et oves tria millia.
34 Only the priests were too few, and they could not flay all the burnt-offerings; therefore their brethren the Levites helped them, until the work was ended, and until the priests had hallowed themselves; for the Levites were more upright in heart to hallow 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 the burnt-offering. And the service of the house of Jehovah was set in order.
Fuerunt ergo holocausta plurima, adipes pacificorum, et libamina holocaustorum: et completus est cultus domus Domini.
36 And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, that God had prepared 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.
