2 Chronicles 34 — parallel

34:1

Ὢυ ὀκτὼ ἐτῶν Ἰωσείας ἐν τῷ βασιλεῦσαι αὐτόν, καὶ τριάκοντα ἐν ἔτος ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ἰερουσαλήμ.

Josiah was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem thirty-one years.

34:2

καὶ ἐποίησεν τὸ εὐθὲς ἐναντίον Κυρίου, καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐν ὁδοῖς Δαυεὶδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἐξέκλινεν δεξιὰ καὶ ἀριστερά.

And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD and walked in the ways of his father David; he did not turn aside to the right or to the left.

34:3

καὶ ἐν τῷ ὀγδόῳ ἔτει τῆς βασιλείας αὐτοῦ, καὶ αὐτὸς ἔτι παιδάριον, ἤρξατο τοῦ ζητῆσαι Κύριον τὸν θεὸν Δαυεὶδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐν τῷ δωδεκάτῳ ἔτει τῆς βασιλείας αὐτοῦ ἤρξατο τοῦ καθαρίσαι τὸν Ἰουδὰ καὶ τὴν Ἰερουσαλὴμ ἀπὸ τῶν ὑψηλῶν καὶ τῶυ ἄλσεων, καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν χαονευτῶν·

In the eighth year of his reign, while he was still young, Josiah began to seek the God of his father David, and in the twelfth year he began to cleanse Judah and Jerusalem of the high places, the Asherah poles, the carved idols, and the cast images.

34:4

καὶ κατέσπασεν τὰ κατὰ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ τὰ θυσιαστήρια τῶν Βααλεὶμ καὶ τὰ ὑψηλὰ τὰ ἐπʼ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἔκοψεν τὰ ἄλση καὶ τὰ γλυπτά , καὶ τὰ χωνευτὰ συνέτριψεν καὶ ἐλέπτυνεν καὶ ἔρριψεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον τῶν μνημάτων τῶν θυσιαζόντων αὐτοῖς·

Then in his presence the altars of the Baals were torn down, and he cut to pieces the incense altars that were above them. He shattered the Asherah poles, the carved idols, and the cast images, crushed them to dust, and scattered them over the graves of those who had sacrificed to them.

34:5

καὶ ὀστᾶ ἱερέων κατέκαυσεν ἐπὶ τὰ θυσιαστήρια, καὶ ἐκαθάρισεν τὸν Ἰουδὰ καὶ τὴν Ἰερουσαλήμ,

Then he burned the bones of the priests on their altars. So he cleansed Judah and Jerusalem.

34:6

καὶ ἐν πόλεσιν Ἐφράιμ καὶ Μανασσὴ καὶ Συμεὼν καὶ Νεφθαλεὶ καὶ τοῖς τόποις αὐτῶν κύκλῳ.

Josiah did the same in the cities of Manasseh, Ephraim, and Simeon, as far as Naphtali, and in the ruins around them.

34:7

καὶ κατέσπασεν τὰ ἄλση καὶ τὰ θυσιαστήρια, καὶ τὰ εἴδωλα κατέκοψεν λεπτά, καὶ πάντα τὰ ὑψηλὰ ἔκοψεν ἀπὸ πάσης τῆς γῆς Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ.

He tore down the altars and Asherah poles, crushed the idols to powder, and cut to pieces all the incense altars throughout the land of Israel. Then he returned to Jerusalem.

34:8

Καὶ ἐν τῷ ὀκτωκαιδεκάτῳ ἔτει τῆς βασιλείας αὐτοῦ, τοῦ καθαρίσαι τὴν γῆν καὶ τὸν οἶκον, ἀπέστειλεν Σοφὰν υἱὸν Σελιὰ καὶ τὸν Μαασὰ ἄρχοντα τῆς πόλεως καὶ τὸν Ἰουάχ υἱὸν Ἰωὰχ τὸν ὑπομνηματογράφον αὐτοῦ, κραταιῶσαι τὸν οἶκον Κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ αὐτοῦ.

Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, in order to cleanse the land and the temple, Josiah sent Shaphan son of Azaliah, Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah son of Joahaz, the recorder, to repair the house of the LORD his God.

34:9

καὶ ἦλθον πρὸς Κελκείαν τὸν ἱερέα τὸν μέγαν, καὶ ἔδωκαν τὸ ἀργύριον τὸ εἰσενεχθέν εἰς οἶκον θεοῦ, ὁ συνήγαγον οἱ Λευεῖται φυλάσσοντες τὴν πύλην ἐκ χειρὸς Μανασσὴ καὶ Ἐφράιμ καὶ τῶν ἀρχόντων καὶ ἀπὸ παντὸς καταλοιπου ἐν Ἰσραὴλ καὶ υἱῶν Ἰούδα καὶ Βενιαμεὶν καὶ οἰκούντων ἐν Ἰερουσαλήμ.

So they went to Hilkiah the high priest and gave him the money that had been brought into the house of God, which the Levites who guarded the doors had collected from the people of Manasseh and Ephraim, from all the remnant of Israel, from all Judah and Benjamin, and from the people of Jerusalem.
