Parallel
2 Chronicles 30
Swete's Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
Καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ἐζεκίας ἐπὶ πάντα Ἰσραὴλ καὶ Ἰούδαν, καὶ ἐπιστολὰς ἔγραψεν ἐπὶ τὸν Ἐφράιμ καὶ Μανασσὴ ἐλθεῖν εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου εἰς Ἰερουσαλὴμ ποιῆσαι τὸ φάσεκ τῷ κυρίῳ θεῷ Ἰσραήλ.
Then Hezekiah sent word throughout all Israel and Judah, and he also wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasseh inviting them to come to the house of the LORD in Jerusalem to keep the Passover of the LORD, the God of Israel.
καὶ ἐβουλεύσατο ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες καὶ πᾶσα ἡ ἐκκλησία ἡ ἐν Ἰερουσαλὴμ ποιῆσαι τὸ φάσεκ τῷ μηνὶ τῷ δευτέρῳ.
For the king and his officials and the whole assembly in Jerusalem had decided to keep the Passover in the second month (note: See Numbers 9:9–12.),
οὐ γὰρ ἡδυνάσθησαν αὐτὸ ποιῆσαι ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ, ὅτι οἱ ἱερεῖς οὐχ ἡγνίσθησαν ἱκανοί, καὶ ὁ λαὸς οὐ συνήχθη εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ.
since they had been unable to keep it at the regular time, because not enough priests had consecrated themselves and the people had not been gathered in Jerusalem.
καὶ ἤρεσεν ὁ λόγος ἐναντίον τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ἐναντίον τῆς ἐκκλησίας.
This plan pleased the king and the whole assembly.
καὶ ἔστησαν λόγον διελθεῖν κήρυγμα ἐν παντὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἀπὸ Βηρσαβεέ ἕως Δὰν ἐλθόντες ποιῆσαι τὸ φάσεκ Κυρίῳ θεῷ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν Ἰερουσαλήμ, ὅτι πλῆθος οὐκ ἐποίησεν κατὰ τὴν γραφήν.
So they established a decree to circulate a proclamation throughout Israel, from Beersheba to Dan, that the people should come to keep the Passover of the LORD, the God of Israel, in Jerusalem. For they had not observed it in great numbers as prescribed.
καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν οἱ τρέχοντες σὺν ταῖς ἐπιστολαῖς παρὰ τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τῶν ἀρχόντων εἰς πάντα Ἰσραὴλ καὶ Ἰουδὰ κατὰ τὸ πρόσταγμα τοῦ βασιλέως λέγοντες Οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραήλ, ἐπιστρέψατε πρὸς θεὸν Ἀβραὰμ καὶ Ἰσαὰκ καὶ Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἐπιστρέψατε τοὺς ἀνασεσαοσμένους τοὺς καταλειφθέντας ἀπὸ χειρὸς βασιλέως Ἀσσούρ.
At the command of the king, the couriers went throughout Israel and Judah with letters from the king and his officials, which read: “Children of Israel, return to the LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, so that He may return to those of you who remain, who have escaped the grasp of the kings of Assyria.
καὶ μὴ γίνεσθε καθὼς οἱ πατέρες ὑμῶν καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ ὑμῶν οἱ ἀπέστησαν ἀπὸ Κυρίου θεοῦ πατέρων αὐτῶν, καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτοὺς εἰς ἐρήμωσιν καθὼς ὑμεῖς ὁρᾶτε.
Do not be like your fathers and brothers who were unfaithful to the LORD, the God of their fathers, so that He made them an object of horror, as you can see.
καὶ νῦν μὴ σκληρύνητε τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν· δότε δόξαν Κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ, καὶ εἰσέλθατε εἰς τὸ ἁγίασμα αὐτοῦ ὁ ἡγίασεν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, καὶ δουλεύσατε τῷ κυρίῳ θεῷ ὑμῶν, καὶ ἀποστρέμμκι ἀφʼ ὑμῶν θυμὸν ὀργῆς.
Now do not stiffen your necks as your fathers did. Submit to the LORD and come to His sanctuary, which He has consecrated forever. Serve the LORD your God, so that His fierce anger will turn away from you.
ὅτι ἐν τῷ ἐπιστρέφειν ὑμᾶς πρὸς Κύριον οἱ ἀδελφοὶ ὑμῶν καὶ τὰ τέκνα ὑμῶν ἔσονται ἐν οἰκτειρμοῖς ἀντὶ πάντων αἰχμαλωτισάντων αὐτούς, καὶ ἀποστρέψει εἰς τὴν γῆν ταύτην· ὅτι ἐλεήμων καὶ οἰκτείρμων Κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν, καὶ οὐκ ἀποστρέψει τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἀφʼ ὑμῶν, ἐὰν ἐπιστρέψωμεν πρὸς αὐτόν.
For if you return to the LORD, your brothers and sons will receive mercy in the presence of their captors and will return to this land. For the LORD your God is gracious and merciful; He will not turn His face away from you if you return to Him.”
καὶ ἦσαν οἱ τρέχοντες διαπορευόμενοι πόλιν ἐκ πόλεως ἐν τῷ ὄρει Ἐφράιμ καὶ Μανασσὴ καὶ ἕως Ζαβουλὼν· καὶ ἐγένοντο ὡς καταγελῶντες αὐτῶν καὶ καταμαοκάάμενοι.
And the couriers traveled from city to city through the land of Ephraim and Manasseh as far as Zebulun, but the people scorned and mocked them.
ἀλλὰ ἄνθρωποι Ἀσὴρ καὶ ἀπὸ Μανασσὴ καὶ ἀπὸ Ζαβουλὼν ἐτράπησαν, καὶ ἦλθον εἰς Ἰερουσαλὴμ καὶ ἐν Ἰούδα.
Nevertheless, some from Asher, Manasseh, and Zebulun humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem.
καὶ ἐγένετο χεὶρ Κυρίου δοῦναι αὐτοῖς καρδίαν μίαν ἐλθεῖν τοῦ ποιῆσαι κατὰ τὰ προστάγματα τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τῶν ἀρχόντων ἐν λόγῳ Κυρίου.
Moreover, the power of God was on the people in Judah to give them one heart to obey the command of the king and his officials according to the word of the LORD.
καὶ συνήχθησαν εἰς Ἰερουσαλὴμ λαὸς πολὺς τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὴν ἑορτὴν τῶν ἀζύμων ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ δευτέρῳ, ἐκκλησία πολλὴ σφόδρα.
In the second month, a very great assembly gathered in Jerusalem to celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread (note: That is, the seven-day period after the Passover during which no leaven may be eaten; see Exodus 12:14–20.).
καὶ ἀνέστησαν καὶ καθεῖλαν τὰ θυσιαστήρια τὰ ἐν Ἰερουσαλήμ, καὶ πάντα ἐν οἷς ἐθυ. μιῶσαν τοῖς ψευδέσιν κατέσπασαν καὶ ἔρριψαν εἰς τὸν χειμάρρουν Κεδρὼν.
They proceeded to remove the altars in Jerusalem and to take away the incense altars and throw them into the Kidron Valley.
καὶ ἔθυσαν τὸ φάσεκ τῇ τεσσαρεσκαιδεκάτῃ τοῦ μηνὸς τοῦ δευτέρου· καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευεῖται ἐνετράπησαν καὶ ἥγνισαν, καὶ εἰσήνεγκαν ὁλοκαυτώματα ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου.
And on the fourteenth day of the second month they slaughtered the Passover lamb. The priests and Levites were ashamed, and they consecrated themselves and brought burnt offerings to the house of the LORD.
καὶ ἔστησαν ἐπὶ τὴν στάσιν αὐτῶν κατὰ τὸ κρίμα αὐτῶν κατὰ τὴν ἐντολὴν Μωυσῆ ἀνθρώπου τοῦ θεοῦ, καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς ἐδέχοντο τὰ αἵματα ἐκ χειρὸς τῶν Λευειτῶν.
They stood at their prescribed posts, according to the Law of Moses the man of God. The priests splattered the blood, which they received from the hand of the Levites.
ὅτι πλῆθος τῆς ἐκκλησίας οὐχ ἡγνίσθη, καὶ οἱ ἤσαν τοῦ θύειν τὸ φάσεκ παντὶ τῷ μὴ δυναμένῳ ἁγνισθῆναι τῷ κυρίῳ.
Since there were many in the assembly who had not consecrated themselves, the Levites were in charge of slaughtering the Passover lambs for every unclean person to consecrate the lambs to the LORD.
ἰτι πλεῖστον τοῦ λαοῦ ἀπὸ Ἐφράιμ καὶ Μανασσὴ καὶ Ἰσσαχὰρ, Ζαβουλὼν, οὐχ ἥγνισαν, ἀλλὰ ἔφαγον τὸ φάσεκ παρὰ τὴν γραφὴν τοῦτο. καὶ προσηύξατο Ἐζεκίας περὶ αὐτῶν λέγων Κύριος ἀγαθὸς ἐξιλάσθω
A large number of the people—many from Ephraim, Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun—had not purified themselves, yet they ate the Passover, contrary to what was written. But Hezekiah interceded for them, saying, “May the LORD, who is good, provide atonement for everyone
ὑπέρ πάσης καρδίας κατευθυνούσης ἐκζητησούσης Κύριον τὸν θεὸν τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν, καὶ οὐ κατὰ τὴν ἁγνείαν τῶν ἁγίων.
who sets his heart on seeking God—the LORD, the God of his fathers—even if he is not cleansed according to the purification rules of the sanctuary.”
καὶ ἐπήκουσεν Κύριος τῷ Ἐζεκίᾳ, καὶ ἰάσατο τὸν λαόν.
And the LORD heard Hezekiah and healed the people.
καὶ ἐποίησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ οἱ εὑρεθέντες ἐν Ἰερουσαλὴμ τὴν ἑορτὴν τῶν ἀζύμων ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ μεγάλῃ καὶ καθυμνοῦντες τῷ κυρίῳ ἡμέραν καθʼ ἡμέραν, καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ Αευεῖται ἐν ὄρηάργάνοις τῷ κυρίῳ.
The Israelites who were present in Jerusalem celebrated the Feast of Unleavened Bread for seven days with great joy, and the Levites and priests praised the LORD day after day, accompanied by loud instruments of praise to the LORD (note: Or day after day, with all their strength to the LORD. Literally day after day, with loud instruments to the LORD.).
καὶ ἐλάλησεν Ἐζεκίας ἐπὶ πᾶσαν καρδίαν τῶν Λευειτῶν καὶ τῶν συνιόντων σύνεσιν ἀγαθὴν τῷ κυρίῳ· καὶ συνετέλεσαν τὴν ἑορτὴν τῶν ἀζύμων ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας, θύοντες θυσίας σωτηρίου καὶ ἐξομολογούμενοι τῷ κυρίῳ θεῷ τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν.
And Hezekiah encouraged all the Levites who performed skillfully before the LORD. For seven days they ate their assigned portion, sacrificing peace offerings and giving thanks to the LORD, the God of their fathers.
καὶ ἐβουλεύσατο ἡ ἐκκλησία ἄμα ποιῆσαι ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας ἄλλας· καὶ ἐποίησαν ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ.
The whole assembly agreed to observe seven more days, so they observed seven days with joy.
ὅτι Ἐζεκίας ἀπήρξατο τῷ Ἰούδᾳ τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ μόσ χους χιλίους καὶ ἑπτακισχίλια πρόβατα· καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες ἀπήρξαντο τῷ λαῷ μόσχους χιλίους καὶ πρόβατα δέκα χιλιάδας, καὶ τὰ ἅγια τῶν ἱερέων εἰς πλῆθος.
For Hezekiah king of Judah contributed a thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep for the assembly, and the officials contributed a thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep for the assembly, and a great number of priests consecrated themselves.
καὶ ηὐφράνθη πᾶσα ἡ ἐκκλησία, οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευεῖται, καὶ πᾶσα ἡ ἐκκλησία Ἰούδα, καὶ οἱ εὑρεθέντες ἐξ Ἰσραήλ, καὶ οἱ προσήλυτοι οἱ εἰσελθόντες ἀπὸ γῆς Ἰσραὴλ καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἀπὸ Ἰούδα.
Then the whole assembly of Judah rejoiced along with the priests and Levites and the whole assembly that had come from Israel, including the foreigners who had come from Israel and those who lived in Judah.
καὶ ἐγένετο εὐφροσύνη μεγάλη ἐν Ἰερουσαλήμ· ἀπὸ ἡμερῶν Σαλωμὼν υἱοῦ Δαυεὶδ βασιλέως Ἰσραὴλ οὐκ ἐγένετο τοιαύτη ἑορτὴ ἐν Ἰερουσαλήμ.
So there was great rejoicing in Jerusalem, for nothing like this had happened there since the days of Solomon son of David king of Israel.
καὶ ἀνέστησαν οἱ ἱερεῖς οἱ Λευεῖται καὶ ηὐλόγησαν τὸν λαόν· καὶ ἐπηκούσθη ἡ φωνὴ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἥλθεν ἡ προσευχὴ αὐτῶν εἰς τὸ κατοικητήριον τὸ ἅγιον αὐτοῦ, εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν.
Then the priests and the Levites stood to bless the people, and God heard their voice, and their prayer came into His holy dwelling place in heaven.
