2 Kings 23
1 Then the King sent, and there gathered vnto him all the Elders of Iudah and of Ierusalem.
et renuntiaverunt regi quod dixerat qui misit et congregati sunt ad eum omnes senes Iuda et Hierusalem
2 And the King went vp into the house of the Lord, with all the men of Iudah and all the inhabitants of Ierusalem with him, and the Priests and Prophets, and all the people both small and great: and he reade in their eares all the wordes of the booke of the couenant, which was found in the house of the Lord.
ascenditque rex templum Domini et omnes viri Iuda universique qui habitant in Hierusalem cum eo sacerdotes et prophetae et omnis populus a parvo usque ad magnum legitque cunctis audientibus omnia verba libri foederis qui inventus est in domo Domini
3 And the King stood by the pillar, and made a couenant before the Lord, that they shoulde walke after the Lord, and keepe his commandements, and his testimonies, and his statutes with all their heart, and with all their soule, that they might accomplish the wordes of this couenant written in this booke. And all the people stood to the couenant.
stetitque rex super gradum et percussit foedus coram Domino ut ambularent post Dominum et custodirent praecepta eius et testimonia et caerimonias in omni corde et in tota anima et suscitarent verba foederis huius quae scripta erant in libro illo adquievitque populus pacto
4 Then the King commanded Hilkiah the hie Priest and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the doore, to bring out of ye Temple of the Lord all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the groue, and for all the hoste of heauen, and he burnt them without Ierusalem in the fieldes of Kedron, and caryed the pouder of them into Beth-el.
et praecepit rex Helciae pontifici et sacerdotibus secundi ordinis et ianitoribus ut proicerent de templo Domini omnia vasa quae facta fuerant Baal et in luco et universae militiae caeli et conbusit ea foris Hierusalem in convalle Cedron et tulit pulverem eorum in Bethel
5 And he put downe the Chemarims, whom the Kings of Iudah had founded to burne incense in the hie places, and in the cities of Iudah, and about Ierusalem, and also them that burnt incense vnto Baal, to the sunne and to the moone, and to the planets, and to all the hoste of heauen.
et delevit aruspices quos posuerant reges Iuda ad sacrificandum in excelsis per civitates Iuda et in circuitu Hierusalem et eos qui adolebant incensum Baal et soli et lunae et duodecim signis et omni militiae caeli
6 And he brought out the groue from the Temple of the Lord without Ierusalem vnto the valley of Kedron, and burnt it in the valley Kedron, and stampt it to pouder, and cast the dust thereof vpon the graues of the children of the people.
et efferri fecit lucum de domo Domini foras Hierusalem in convalle Cedron et conbusit eum ibi et redegit in pulverem et proiecit super sepulchrum vulgi
7 And hee brake downe the houses of the Sodomites, that were in the house of the Lord, where the women woue hangings for the groue.
destruxit quoque aediculas effeminatorum quae erant in domo Domini pro quibus mulieres texebant quasi domunculas luci
8 Also he brought all the priests out of the cities of Iudah, and defiled the hie places where the Priests had burnt incense, euen from Geba to Beer-sheba, and destroyed the hie places of the gates, that were in the entring in of the gate of Ioshua the gouernour of the citie, which was at the left hand of the gate of the citie.
congregavitque omnes sacerdotes de civitatibus Iuda et contaminavit excelsa ubi sacrificabant sacerdotes de Gabaa usque Bersabee et destruxit aras portarum in introitu ostii Iosue principis civitatis quod erat ad sinistram portae civitatis
9 Neuerthelesse the Priests of the hie places came not vp to the altar of the Lord in Ierusalem, saue onely they did eate of the vnleauened bread among their brethren.
verumtamen non ascendebant sacerdotes excelsorum ad altare Domini in Hierusalem sed tantum comedebant azyma in medio fratrum suorum
10 He defiled also Topheth, which was in the valley of the children of Hinnom, that no man shoulde make his sonne or his daughter passe through the fire to Molech.
contaminavit quoque Thafeth quod est in convalle filii Ennom ut nemo consecraret filium suum aut filiam per ignem Moloch
11 He put downe also the horses that the Kings of Iudah had giuen to the sunne at the entring in of the house of the Lord, by the chamber of Nethan-melech the eunuche, which was ruler of the suburbes, and burnt the charets of the sunne with fire.
abstulit quoque equos quos dederant reges Iudae soli in introitu templi Domini iuxta exedram Nathanmelech eunuchi qui erat in Farurim currus autem solis conbusit igni
12 And the altars that were on the top of the chamber of Ahaz, which the Kings of Iudah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of the Lord did the King breake downe, and hasted thence, and cast the dust of them in the brooke Kedron.
altaria quoque quae erant super tecta cenaculi Ahaz quae fecerant reges Iuda et altaria quae fecerat Manasses in duobus atriis templi Domini destruxit rex et cucurrit inde et dispersit cinerem eorum in torrentem Cedron
13 Moreouer the King defiled the hie places that were before Ierusalem and on the right hand of the mount of corruption (which Salomon the King of Israel had buylt for Ashtoreth the idole of the Zidonians, and for Chemosh the idole of the Moabites, and for Milchom the abomination of the children of Ammon)
excelsa quoque quae erant in Hierusalem ad dexteram partem montis Offensionis quae aedificaverat Salomon rex Israhel Astharoth idolo Sidoniorum et Chamos offensioni Moab et Melchom abominationi filiorum Ammon polluit rex
14 And he brake the images in pieces, and cut downe the groues and filled their places with the bones of men.
et contrivit statuas et succidit lucos replevitque loca eorum ossibus mortuorum
15 Furthermore the altar that was at Beth-el, and the hie place made by Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat, which made Israel to sinne, both this altar and also the hie place, brake he downe, and burnt the hie place, and stampt it to powder and burnt the groue.
insuper et altare quod erat in Bethel excelsum quod fecerat Hieroboam filius Nabath qui peccare fecit Israhel et altare illud et excelsum destruxit atque conbusit et comminuit in pulverem succenditque etiam lucum
16 And as Iosiah turned himselfe, he spied the graues, that were in the mount, and sent and tooke the bones out of the graues, and burnt them vpon the altar and polluted it, according to the word of the Lord, that the man of God proclaimed, which cryed the same wordes.
et conversus Iosias vidit ibi sepulchra quae erant in monte misitque et tulit ossa de sepulchris et conbusit ea super altare et polluit illud iuxta verbum Domini quod locutus est vir Dei qui praedixerat verba haec
17 Then he sayde, What title is that which I see? And the men of the citie sayd vnto him, It is the sepulchre of the man of God, which came from Iudah, and tolde these things that thou hast done to the altar of Beth-el.
et ait quis est titulus ille quem video responderuntque ei cives illius urbis sepulchrum est hominis Dei qui venit de Iuda et praedixit verba haec quae fecisti super altare Bethel
18 Then sayde he, Let him alone: let none remooue his bones. So his bones were saued with the bones of the Prophet that came from Samaria.
et ait dimittite eum nemo commoveat ossa eius et intacta manserunt ossa illius cum ossibus prophetae qui venerat de Samaria
19 Iosiah also tooke away all the houses of the hie places, which were in the cities of Samaria, which the Kings of Israel had made to anger the Lord, and did to them according to all the factes that he had done in Beth-el.
insuper et omnia fana excelsorum quae erant in civitatibus Samariae quae fecerant reges Israhel ad inritandum Dominum abstulit Iosias et fecit eis secundum omnia opera quae fecerat in Bethel
20 And he sacrificed all the Priests of the hie places, that were there vpon the altars, and burnt mens bones vpon them, and returned to Ierusalem.
et occidit universos sacerdotes excelsorum qui erant ibi super altaria et conbusit ossa humana super ea reversusque est Hierusalem
21 Then the king commanded all the people, saying, Keepe the passeouer vnto the Lord your God, as it is written in the booke of this couenant.
et praecepit omni populo dicens facite phase Domino Deo vestro secundum quod scriptum est in libro foederis huius
22 And there was no Passeouer holden like that from the dayes of the Iudges that iudged Israel, nor in all the dayes of the Kinges of Israel, and of the Kings of Iudah.
nec enim factum est phase tale a diebus iudicum qui iudicaverunt Israhel et omnium dierum regum Israhel et regum Iuda
23 And in the eightenth yere of King Iosiah was this Passeouer celebrated to the Lord in Ierusalem.
sicut in octavodecimo anno regis Iosiae factum est phase istud Domino in Hierusalem
24 Iosiah also tooke away them that had familiar spirits, and the soothsayers, and the images, and the idoles, and al the abominations that were espied in the lande of Iudah and in Ierusalem, to performe the wordes of the Lawe, which were written in the booke that Hilkiah the Priest found in the house of the Lord.
sed et pythones et ariolos et figuras idolorum et inmunditias abominationesque quae fuerant in terra Iuda et in Hierusalem abstulit Iosias ut statueret verba legis quae scripta sunt in libro quem invenit Helcias sacerdos in templo Domini
25 Like vnto him was there no King before him, that turned to the Lord with al his heart, and with all his soule, and with all his might according to all the Lawe of Moses, neither after him arose there anie like him.
similis illi non fuit ante eum rex qui reverteretur ad Dominum in omni corde suo et in tota anima sua et in universa virtute sua iuxta omnem legem Mosi neque post eum surrexit similis illi
26 Notwithstanding the Lord turned not from the fiercenesse of his great wrath wherewith he was angrie against Iudah, because of all the prouocatios wherwith Manasseh had prouoked him.
verumtamen non est aversus Dominus ab ira furoris sui magni quo iratus est furor eius contra Iudam propter inritationes quibus provocaverat eum Manasses
27 Therefore the Lord saide, I will put Iudah also out of my sight, as I haue put away Israel, and will cast off this citie Ierusalem, which I haue chosen, and the house whereof I said, My name shalbe there.
dixit itaque Dominus etiam Iudam auferam a facie mea sicut abstuli Israhel et proiciam civitatem hanc quam elegi Hierusalem et domum de qua dixi erit nomen meum ibi
28 Concerning the rest of the actes of Iosiah, and all that hee did, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Iudah?
reliqua autem verba Iosiae et universa quae fecit nonne haec scripta sunt in libro verborum dierum regum Iuda
29 In his dayes Pharaoh Nechoh King of Egypt went vp against the King of Asshur to the riuer Perath. And King Iosiah went against him, whome when Pharaoh sawe, he slewe him at Megiddo.
in diebus eius ascendit Pharao Necho rex Aegypti contra regem Assyriorum ad flumen Eufraten et abiit Iosias rex in occursum eius et occisus est in Mageddo cum vidisset eum
30 Then his seruants caryed him dead from Megiddo, and brought him to Ierusalem, and buried him in his owne sepulchre. And the people of the lande tooke Iehoahaz the sonne of Iosiah, and anointed him, and made him King in his fathers steade.
et portaverunt eum servi sui mortuum de Mageddo et pertulerunt in Hierusalem et sepelierunt eum in sepulchro suo tulitque populus terrae Ioahaz filium Iosiae et unxerunt eum et constituerunt eum regem pro patre suo
31 Iehoahaz was three and twentie yeere olde when he beganne to reigne, and reigned three moneths in Ierusalem. His mothers name also was Hamutal the daughter of Ieremiah of Libnah.
viginti trium annorum erat Ioahaz cum regnare coepisset et tribus mensibus regnavit in Hierusalem nomen matris eius Amithal filia Hieremiae de Lobna
32 And he did euill in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his fathers had done.
et fecit malum coram Domino iuxta omnia quae fecerant patres eius
33 And Pharaoh Nechoh put him in bondes at Riblah in the lande of Hamath, while he reigned in Ierusalem, and put the lande to a tribute of an hundreth talents of siluer, and a talent of golde.
vinxitque eum Pharao Necho in Rebla quae est in terra Emath ne regnaret in Hierusalem et inposuit multam terrae centum talentis argenti et talento auri
34 And Pharaoh Nechoh made Eliakim the sonne of Iosiah King in steade of Iosiah his father, and turned his name to Iehoiakim, and tooke Iehoahaz away, which when he came to Egypt, dyed there.
regemque constituit Pharao Necho Eliachim filium Iosiae pro Iosia patre eius vertitque nomen eius Ioiachim porro Ioahaz tulit et duxit in Aegyptum
35 And Iehoiakim gaue the siluer and the golde to Pharaoh, and taxed the land to giue the money, according to the commadement of Pharaoh: he leuyed of euery man of the people of the lande, according to his value, siluer and golde to giue vnto Pharaoh Nechoh.
argentum autem et aurum dedit Ioiachim Pharaoni cum indixisset terrae per singulos ut conferretur iuxta praeceptum Pharaonis et unumquemque secundum vires suas exegit tam argentum quam aurum de populo terrae ut daret Pharaoni Necho
36 Iehoiakim was fiue and twentie yere olde, when he began to reigne, and he reigned eleuen yeeres in Ierusalem. His mothers name also was Zebudah the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.
viginti quinque annorum erat Ioiachim cum regnare coepisset et undecim annis regnavit in Hierusalem nomen matris eius Zebida filia Phadaia de Ruma
37 And he did euill in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his fathers had done.
et fecit malum coram Domino iuxta omnia quae fecerant patres eius
