II Chronicles

1 And Hezekiah sent to all Israēl and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of Yahweh at Jerusalem, to keep the Passover to Yahweh Elohim of Israēl.

1 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ἐζεκίας ἐπὶ πάντα Ἰσραὴλ καὶ Ἰούδαν καὶ ἐπιστολὰς ἔγραψεν ἐπὶ τὸν Ἐφραὶμ καὶ Μανασσῆ ἐλθεῖν εἰς οἶκον κυρίου εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ ποιῆσαι τὸ φασέκ τῷ κυρίῳ θεῷ Ἰσραήλ·	1 Καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ἐζεκίας ἐπὶ πάντα Ἰσραὴλ καὶ Ἰούδα καὶ ἐπιστολὰς ἔγραψαν ἐπὶ τὸν Ἐφραὶμ καὶ Μανασσῆ ἐλθεῖν εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ ποιῆσαι τὸ φασὲκ τῷ Κυρίῳ Θεῷ Ἰσραήλ.

2 For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, to keep the Passover in the second month.

2 καὶ ἐβουλεύσατο ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες καὶ πᾶσα ἡ ἐκκλησία ἡ ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ ποιῆσαι τὸ φασέκ τῷ μηνὶ τῷ δευτέρῳ·	2 καὶ ἐβουλεύσατο ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες καὶ πᾶσα ἡ ἐκκλησία ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ ποιῆσαι τὸ φασὲκ τῷ μηνὶ τῷ δευτέρῳ·
2 For the king, and the princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, designed to keep the Passover in the second month.	2 For the king, and the princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, designed to keep the Passover in the second month.

3 For they couldn’t keep it at that time, because the priests had not consecrated themselves sufficiently, neither had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem.

3 οὐ γὰρ ἠδυνάσθησαν αὐτὸ ποιῆσαι ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ, ὅτι οἱ ἱερεῖς οὐχ ἡγνίσθησαν ἱκανοί, καὶ ὁ λαὸς οὐ συνήχθη εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ.	3 οὐ γὰρ ἠδυνάσθησαν ποιῆσαι αὐτὸ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ, ὅτι οἱ ἱερεῖς οὐχ ἡγνίσθησαν ἱκανοί, καὶ ὁ λαὸς οὐ συνήχθη εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ.

4 And the thing pleased the king and all the congregation.

4 καὶ ἤρεσεν ὁ λόγος ἐναντίον τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ἐναντίον τῆς ἐκκλησίας.	4 καὶ ἤρεσεν ὁ λόγος ἐναντίον τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ἐναντίον τῆς ἐκκλησίας.
4 And the proposal pleased the king and the congregation.	4 And the proposal pleased the king and the congregation.

5 So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israēl, from Beer-sheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the Passover to Yahweh Elohim of Israēl at Jerusalem; for they had not done it of a long time in such sort as it was written.

5 καὶ ἔστησαν λόγον διελθεῖν κήρυγμα ἐν παντὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἀπὸ Βηρσαβεὲ ἕως Δὰν ἐλθόντας ποιῆσαι τὸ φασέκ κυρίῳ θεῷ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ, ὅτι πλῆθος οὐκ ἐποίησεν κατὰ τὴν γραφήν.	5 καὶ ἔστησαν λόγον διελθεῖν κήρυγμα ἐν παντὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἀπὸ Βηρσαβεὲ ἕως Δάν, ἐλθόντας ποιῆσαι τὸ φασὲκ Κυρίῳ Θεῷ Ἰσραὴλ εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ, ὅτι πλῆθος οὐκ ἐποίησε κατά τὴν γραφήν.
5 And they established a decree that a proclamation should go through all Israēl, from Bērsabee to Dan, that they should come and keep the Passover to the Lord God of Israēl at Jerusalem; for the multitude had not done it lately according to the scripture.	5 And they established a decree that a proclamation should go through all Israēl, from Bērsabee to Dan, that they should come and keep the Passover to the Lord God of Israēl at Jerusalem; for the multitude had not done it lately according to the scripture.

6 So the posts went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israēl and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, You sons of Israēl, turn again to Yahweh Elohim of Abraham, Isaac, and Israēl, and he will return to the remnant of you, that are escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.

6 καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν οἱ τρέχοντες σὺν ταῖς ἐπιστολαῖς παρὰ τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τῶν ἀρχόντων εἰς πάντα Ἰσραὴλ καὶ Ἰούδαν κατὰ τὸ πρόσταγμα τοῦ βασιλέως λέγοντες υἱοὶ Ἰσραήλ, ἐπιστρέψατε πρὸς θεὸν Ἁβραὰμ καὶ Ἰσαὰκ καὶ Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἐπιστρέψει τοὺς ἀνασεσῳσμένους τοὺς καταλειφθέντας ἀπὸ χειρὸς βασιλέως Ἀσσούρ.	6 καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν οἱ τρέχοντες σὺν ταῖς ἐπιστολαῖς παρὰ τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τῶν ἀρχόντων εἰς πάντα Ἰσραὴλ καὶ Ἰούδαν κατὰ τὸ πρόσταγμα τοῦ βασιλέως λέγοντες· οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἐπιστρέψατε πρὸς Κύριον Θεὸν Ἁβραὰμ καὶ Ἰσαὰκ καὶ Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἐπιστρέψει τοὺς ἀνασεσωσμένους τοὺς καταλειφθέντας ἀπὸ χειρὸς βασιλέως Ἀσσούρ·
6 And the posts went with the letters from the king and the princes to all Israēl and Jouda, according to the command of the king, saying, sons of Israēl, return to the Lord God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Israēl, and bring back those who have escaped even those who were left of the hand of the king of Assyria.	6 And the posts went with the letters from the king and the princes to all Israēl and Jouda, according to the command of the king, saying, sons of Israēl, return to the Lord God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Israēl, and bring back those who have escaped even those who were left of the hand of the king of Assyria.

7 And don’t be like your fathers, and like your brothers, who trespassed against Yahweh Elohim of their fathers, who therefore gave them up to desolation, as you see.

7 καὶ μὴ γίνεσθε καθὼς οἱ πατέρες ὑμῶν, καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ ὑμῶν οἳ ἀπέστησαν ἀπὸ κυρίου θεοῦ πατέρων αὐτῶν, καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτοὺς εἰς ἐρήμωσιν, καθὼς ὑμεῖς ὁρᾶτε.	7 καὶ μὴ γίνεσθε καθὼς οἱ πατέρες ὑμῶν καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ ὑμῶν, οἳ ἀπέστησαν ἀπὸ Κυρίου Θεοῦ πατέρων αὐτῶν, καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτοὺς εἰς ἐρήμωσιν, καθὼς ὑμεῖς ὁρᾶτε.
7 And don’t be as your fathers, and your brothers, who revolted from the Lord God of their fathers, and he gave them up to desolation, as you see.	7 And don’t be as your fathers, and your brothers, who revolted from the Lord God of their fathers, and he gave them up to desolation, as you see.

8 Now don’t be stiff-necked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves to Yahweh, and enter into his sanctuary, which he has consecrated forever; and serve Yahweh your Elohim, that the fierceness of his wrath may turn away from you.

8 καὶ νῦν μὴ σκληρύνητε τοὺς τραχήλους ὑμῶν· δότε δόξαν κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ καὶ εἰσέλθατε εἰς τὸ ἁγίασμα αὐτοῦ, ὃ ἡγίασεν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, καὶ δουλεύσατε τῷ κυρίῳ θεῷ ὑμῶν, καὶ ἀποστρέψει ἀφ’ ὑμῶν θυμὸν ὀργῆς.	8 καὶ νῦν μὴ σκληρύνητε τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν ὡς οἱ πατέρες ὑμῶν· δότε δόξαν Κυρίῳ τῷ Θεῷ καὶ εἰσέλθετε εἰς τὸ ἁγίασμα αὐτοῦ, ὃν ἡγίασεν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, καὶ δουλεύσατε τῷ Κυρίῳ Θεῷ ὑμῶν, καὶ ἀποστρέψει ἀφ’ ὑμῶν θυμὸν ὀργῆς.
8 And now harden not your hearts, as your fathers did: give glory to the Lord God, and enter into his sanctuary, which he has consecrated forever; and serve the Lord your God, and he shall turn away his fierce anger from you.	8 And now harden not your hearts, as your fathers did: give glory to the Lord God, and enter into his sanctuary, which he has consecrated forever; and serve the Lord your God, and he shall turn away his fierce anger from you.

9 For if you turn again to Yahweh, your brothers and your children shall find mercy before those who lead them captive, so that they shall come again into this land; for Yahweh your Elohim is gracious and merciful, and won’t turn away his face from you, if you return to him.

9 ὅτι ἐν τῷ ἐπιστρέφειν ὑμᾶς πρὸς κύριον οἱ ἀδελφοὶ ὑμῶν καὶ τὰ τέκνα ὑμῶν ἔσονται ἐν οἰκτιρμοῖς ἔναντι πάντων τῶν αἰχμαλωτισάντων αὐτούς, καὶ ἀποστρέψει εἰς τὴν γῆν ταύτην· ὅτι ἐλεήμων καὶ οἰκτίρμων κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν καὶ οὐκ ἀποστρέψει τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἀφ’ ἡμῶν, ἐὰν ἐπιστρέψωμεν πρὸς αὐτόν.	9 ὅτι ἐν τῷ ἐπιστρέφειν ὑμᾶς πρὸς Κύριον οἱ ἀδελφοὶ ὑμῶν καὶ τὰ τέκνα ὑμῶν ἔσονται ἐν οἰκτιρμοῖς ἔναντι πάντων τῶν αἰχμαλωτισάντων αὐτούς, καὶ ἀποστρέψει εἰς τὴν γῆν ταύτην, ὅτι ἐλεήμων καὶ οἰκτίρμων Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, καὶ οὐκ ἀποστρέψει τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἀφ’ ὑμῶν, ἐάν ἐπιστρέψωμεν πρὸς αὐτόν.
9 For when you turn to the Lord, your brothers and your children shall be pitied before all that have carried them captives, and he will restore you to this land; for our Lord God is merciful and pitiful, and won’t turn away his face from you, if we return to him.	9 For when you turn to the Lord, your brothers and your children shall be pitied before all that have carried them captives, and he will restore you to this land; for our Lord God is merciful and pitiful, and won’t turn away his face from you, if we return to him.

10 So the posts passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh even to Zebulun; but they laughed them to scorn, and mocked them.

10 καὶ ἦσαν οἱ τρέχοντες διαπορευόμενοι πόλιν ἐκ πόλεως ἐν τῷ ὄρει Ἐφραὶμ καὶ Μανασσῆ καὶ ἕως Ζαβουλών, καὶ ἐγένοντο ὡς καταγελῶντες αὐτῶν καὶ καταμωκώμενοι·	10 καὶ ἦσαν οἱ τρέχοντες διαπορευόμενοι πόλιν ἐκ πόλεως ἐν τῷ ὄρει Ἐφραὶμ καὶ Μανασσῆ καὶ ἕως Ζαβουλών, καὶ ἐγένοντο ὡς καταγελῶντες αὐτῶν καὶ καταμωκώμενοι·

11 Nevertheless various of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem.

11 ἀλλὰ ἄνθρωποι Ἀσὴρ καὶ ἀπὸ Μανασσῆ καὶ ἀπὸ Ζαβουλὼν ἐνετράπησαν καὶ ἦλθον εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ.	11 ἀλλὰ ἄνθρωποι Ἀσὴρ καὶ ἀπὸ Μανασσῆ καὶ ἀπὸ Ζαβουλὼν ἐνετράπησαν καὶ ἦλθον εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ εἰς Ἰούδα.
11 But the men of Aser, and some of Manasses and of Zabulon, were ashamed, and came to Jerusalem and Jouda.	11 But the men of Aser, and some of Manasses and of Zabulon, were ashamed, and came to Jerusalem and Jouda.

12 Also in Judah the hand of God was to give them one heart to do the commandment of the king and of the princes, by the word of Yahweh.

12 καὶ ἐν Ἰούδα ἐγένετο χεὶρ κυρίου δοῦναι αὐτοῖς καρδίαν μίαν ἐλθεῖν τοῦ ποιῆσαι κατὰ τὸ πρόσταγμα τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τῶν ἀρχόντων ἐν λόγῳ κυρίου,	12 καὶ ἐγένετο χεὶρ Κυρίου δοῦναι αὐτοῖς καρδίαν μίαν ἐλθεῖν τοῦ ποιῆσαι κατὰ τὰ προστάγματα τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τῶν ἀρχόντων ἐν λόγῳ Κυρίου,

13 And there assembled at Jerusalem much people to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.

13 καὶ συνήχθησαν εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ λαὸς πολὺς τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὴν ἑορτὴν τῶν ἀζύμων ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ δευτέρῳ, ἐκκλησία πολλὴ σφόδρα.	13 καὶ συνήχθησαν εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ λαὸς πολὺς τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὴν ἑορτὴν τῶν ἀζύμων ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ δευτέρῳ, ἐκκλησία πολλὴ σφόδρα.
13 And a great multitude were gathered to Jerusalem to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.	13 And a great multitude were gathered to Jerusalem to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.

14 And they arose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all the altars for incense took they away, and cast them into the brook Kidron.

14 καὶ ἀνέστησαν καὶ καθεῖλαν τὰ θυσιαστήρια τὰ ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ· καὶ πάντα, ἐν οἷς ἐθυμιῶσαν τοῖς ψευδέσιν, κατέσπασαν καὶ ἔρριψαν εἰς τὸν χειμάρρουν Κεδρών.	14 καὶ ἀνέστησαν καὶ καθεῖλαν τὰ θυσιαστήρια τὰ ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ καὶ πάντας, ἐν οἷς ἐθυμίων τοῖς ψευδέσι, κατέσπασαν καὶ ἔρριψαν εἰς τὸν χειμάρρουν Κέδρων.

15 Then they killed the Passover on the 14th day of the second month; and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and consecrated themselves, and brought in the burnt offerings into the house of Yahweh.

15 καὶ ἔθυσαν τὸ φασέκ τῇ τεσσαρεσκαιδεκάτῃ τοῦ μηνὸς τοῦ δευτέρου· καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευῖται ἐνετράπησαν καὶ ἡγνίσθησαν καὶ εἰσήνεγκαν ὁλοκαυτώματα εἰς οἶκον κυρίου.	15 καὶ ἔθυσαν τὸ φασὲκ τῇ τεσσαρεσκαιδεκάτῃ τοῦ μηνὸς τοῦ δευτέρου· καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευῖται ἐνετράπησαν καὶ ἡγνίσθησαν καὶ εἰσήνεγκαν ὁλοκαυτώματα ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου.

16 And they stood in their place after their manner, according to the law of Moses the man of God: the priests sprinkled the blood, which they received of the hand of the Levites.

16 καὶ ἔστησαν ἐπὶ τὴν στάσιν αὐτῶν κατὰ τὸ κρίμα αὐτῶν κατὰ τὴν ἐντολὴν Μωυσῇ ἀνθρώπου τοῦ θεοῦ, καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς ἐδέχοντο τὰ αἵματα ἐκ χειρὸς τῶν Λευιτῶν.	16 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 Λευιτῶν·

17 For there were many in the congregation who were not consecrated; therefore the Levites had the charge of the killing of the Passovers for everyone who wasn’t clean, to consecrate them to Yahweh.

17 ὅτι πλῆθος τῆς ἐκκλησίας οὐχ ἡγνίσθη, καὶ οἱ Λευῖται ἦσαν τοῦ θύειν τὸ φασέκ παντὶ τῷ μὴ δυναμένῳ ἁγνισθῆναι τῷ κυρίῳ.	17 ὅτι πλῆθος τῆς ἐκκλησίας οὐχ ἡγνίσθη, καὶ οἱ Λευῖται ἦσαν τοῦ θύειν τὸ φασὲκ παντὶ τῷ μὴ δυναμένῳ ἁγνισθῆναι τῷ Κυρίῳ.

18 For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim, and Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet did they eat the Passover otherwise than it was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, The good Yahweh pardon everyone

18 ὅτι τὸ πλεῖστον τοῦ λαοῦ ἀπὸ Ἐφραὶμ καὶ Μανασσῆ καὶ Ἰσσαχὰρ καὶ Ζαβουλὼν οὐχ ἡγνίσθησαν, ἀλλὰ ἔφαγον τὸ φασέκ παρὰ τὴν γραφήν. καὶ προσηύξατο Ἐζεκίας περὶ αὐτῶν λέγων κύριος ὁ ἀγαθὸς ἐξιλασάσθω ὑπὲρ	18 ὅτι τὸ πλεῖστον τοῦ λαοῦ ἀπὸ Ἐφραὶμ καὶ Μανασσῆ καὶ Ἰσσάχαρ καὶ Ζαβουλὼν οὐχ ἡγνίσθησαν, ἀλλ’ ἔφαγον τὸ φασὲκ παρὰ τὴν γραφήν. καὶ προσηύξατο Ἐζεκίας περὶ αὐτῶν λέγων· Κύριος ἀγαθὸς ἐξιλασάσθω

On this account also Ezekias prayed concerning them, saying,

19 That prepares his heart to seek God, Yahweh Elohim of his fathers, though he isn’t cleansed according to the purification of the sanctuary.

19 πάσης καρδίας κατευθυνούσης ἐκζητῆσαι κύριον τὸν θεὸν τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν καὶ οὐ κατὰ τὴν ἁγνείαν τῶν ἁγίων.	19 ὑπὲρ πάσης καρδίας κατευθυνούσης ἐκζητῆσαι Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν καὶ οὐ κατὰ τὴν ἁγνείαν τῶν ἁγίων.

20 And Yahweh listened to Hezekiah, and healed the people.

20 καὶ ἐπήκουσεν κύριος τῷ Ἐζεκίᾳ καὶ ἰάσατο τὸν λαόν.	20 καὶ ἐπήκουσε Κύριος τῷ Ἐζεκίᾳ καὶ ἰάσατο τὸν λαόν.
20 And the Lord listened to Ezekias, and healed the people.	20 And the Lord listened to Ezekias, and healed the people.

21 And the sons of Israēl who were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness; and the Levites and the priests praised Yahweh day by day, singing with loud instruments to Yahweh.

21 καὶ ἐποίησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ οἱ εὑρεθέντες ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ τὴν ἑορτὴν τῶν ἀζύμων ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ μεγάλῃ καὶ καθυφανεῖς τῷ κυρίῳ ἡμέραν καθ’ ἡμέραν καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευῖται ἐν ὀργάνοις τῷ κυρίῳ.	21 καὶ ἐποίησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ οἱ εὑρεθέντες ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ τὴν ἑορτὴν τῶν ἀζύμων ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ μεγάλῃ καὶ καθυμνοῦντες τῷ Κυρίῳ ἡμέραν καθ’ ἡμέραν καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευῖται ἐν ὀργάνοις τῷ Κυρίῳ.

22 And Hezekiah spoke comfortably to all the Levites that taught the good knowledge of Yahweh; and they ate throughout the feast seven days, offering peace offerings, and making confession to Yahweh Elohim of their fathers.

22 καὶ ἐλάλησεν Ἐζεκίας ἐπὶ πᾶσαν καρδίαν τῶν Λευιτῶν 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.	22 καὶ ἐλάλησεν Ἐζεκίας ἐπὶ πᾶσαν καρδίαν τῶν Λευιτῶν καὶ τῶν συνιόντων σύνεσιν ἀγαθὴν τῷ Κυρίῳ· καὶ συνετέλεσαν τὴν ἑορτὴν τῶν ἀζύμων ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας θύοντες θυσίαν σωτηρίου καὶ ἐξομολογούμενοι τῷ Κυρίῳ Θεῷ τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν.

23 καὶ ἐβουλεύσατο ἡ ἐκκλησία ἅμα ποιῆσαι ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας ἄλλας· καὶ ἐποίησαν ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ.	23 καὶ ἐβουλεύσατο ἡ ἐκκλησία ἅμα ποιῆσαι ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας ἄλλας· καὶ ἐποίησαν ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ.

26 So there was great joy in Jerusalem; for since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israēl there wasn’t the like in Jerusalem.

26 καὶ ἐγένετο εὐφροσύνη μεγάλη ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ· ἀπὸ ἡμερῶν Σαλωμὼν υἱοῦ Δαυὶδ βασιλέως Ἰσραὴλ οὐκ ἐγένετο τοιαύτη ἑορτὴ ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ.	26 καὶ ἐγένετο εὐφροσύνη μεγάλη ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ· ἀπὸ ἡμερῶν Σαλωμὼν υἱοῦ Δαυὶδ βασιλέως Ἰσραὴλ οὐκ ἐγένετο τοιαύτη ἑορτὴ ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ.

27 Then the Levitical priests arose and blessed the people; and their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy dwelling place, even to heaven.

27 καὶ ἀνέστησαν οἱ ἱερεῖς οἱ Λευῖται καὶ ηὐλόγησαν τὸν λαόν· καὶ ἐπηκούσθη ἡ φωνὴ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἦλθεν ἡ προσευχὴ αὐτῶν εἰς τὸ κατοικητήριον τὸ ἅγιον αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν.	27 καὶ ἀνέστησαν οἱ ἱερεῖς οἱ Λευῖται καὶ εὐλόγησαν τὸν λαόν· καὶ ἐπηκούσθη ἡ φωνὴ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἦλθεν ἡ προσευχὴ αὐτῶν εἰς τὸ κατοικητήριον τὸ ἅγιον αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν.
