1
ΚΑΙ ἤγαγεν Ἰωσίας τὸ πάσχα ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ τῷ Κυρίῳ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔθυσε τὸ πάσχα τῇ τεσσαρεσκαιδεκάτῃ ἡμέρᾳ τοῦ μηνὸς τοῦ πρώτου·
And Josiah held the feast of the Passover in Jerusalem unto his Lord, and offered the Passover the fourteenth day of the first month;
2
στήσας τοὺς ἱερεῖς κατʼ ἐφημερίας ἐστολισμένους ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ τοῦ Κυρίου.
having set the priests according to their daily courses, being arrayed in long garments, in the temple of the Lord.
3
Καὶ εἶπε τοῖς Λευίταις ἱεροδούλοις τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ, ἁγιάσαι ἑαυτοὺς τῷ Κυρίῳ ἐν τῇ θέσει τῆς ἁγίας κιβωτοῦ τοῦ Κυρίου ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ ᾧ ᾠκοδόμησε Σαλωμὼν ὁ τοῦ Δαυὶδ ὁ βασιλεύς·
And he spoke unto the Levites, the holy ministers of Israel, that they should hallow themselves unto the Lord, to set the holy ark of the Lord in the house that King Solomon the [son] of David had built:
4
οὐκ ἔσται ὑμῖν ἆραι ἐπʼ ὤμων αὐτήν· καὶ νῦν λατρεύετε τῷ Κυρίῳ Θεῷ ὑμῶν, καὶ θεραπεύετε τὸ ἔθνος αὐτοῦ Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἑτοιμάσατε κατὰ τὰς πατριὰς καὶ τὰς φυλὰς ὑμῶν,
[and said], Ye shall no more bear the ark upon your shoulders: now therefore serve the Lord your God, and minister unto his people Israel, and prepare you after your families and kindred,
5
κατὰ τὴν γραφὴν Δαυὶδ βασιλέως Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ κατὰ τὴν μεγαλειότητα Σαλωμὼν τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ· καὶ στάντες ἐν τῷ ἁγίῳ κατὰ τὴν μεριδαρχίαν τὴν πατρικὴν ὑμῶν τῶν Λευιτῶν, τῶν ἔμπροσθεν τῶν ἀδελφῶν ὑμῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ,
according as David the king of Israel prescribed, and according to the magnificence of Solomon his son: and standing in the temple according to the several dignity of the families of you the Levites, who minister in the presence of your brethren the children of Israel,
6
ἐν τάξει θύσατε τὸ πάσχα, καὶ τὰς θυσίας ἑτοιμάσατε τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς ὑμῶν, καὶ ποιήσατε τὸ πάσχα κατὰ τὸ πρόσταγμα τοῦ Κυρίου τὸ δοθὲν τῷ Μωυσῇ.
offer the Passover in order, and make ready the sacrifices for your brethren, and keep the Passover according to the commandment of the Lord, which was given unto Moses.
7
Καὶ ἐδωρήσατο Ἰωσίας τῷ λαῷ τῷ εὑρεθέντι ἀρνῶν καὶ ἐρίφων τριάκοντα χιλιάδας, μόσχους τρισχιλίους· ταῦτα ἐκ τῶν βασιλικῶν ἐδόθη κατʼ ἐπαγγελίαν τῷ λαῷ, καὶ τοῖς ἱερεῦσι, καὶ Λευίταις.
And unto the people that was found [there] Josiah gave thirty thousand lambs and kids, and three thousand calves: these things were given of the king’s allowance, according as he promised, to the people, to the priests and to the Levites.
8
Καὶ ἔδωκε Χελκίας, καὶ Ζαχαρίας, καὶ Συῆλος οἱ ἐπιστάται τοῦ ἱεροῦ τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν εἰς πάσχα πρόβατα δισχίλια ἑξακόσια, μόσχους τριακοσίους.
And Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Esyelus, the governors of the temple, gave to the priests for the Passover two thousand and six hundred sheep, and three hundred calves.
9
Καὶ Ἰεχονὶας, καὶ Σαμαίας, καὶ Ναθαναὴλ ὁ ἀδελφὸς, καὶ Ἀσαβίας, καὶ Ὀχίηλος, καὶ Ἰωρὰμ χιλίαρχοι ἔδωκαν τοῖς Λευίταις εἰς πάσχα πρόβατα πεντακισχίλια, μόσχους ἑπτακοσίους.
And Jeconiah, and Shemaiah, and Nethanel his brother, and Hashabiah, and Ochiel, and Joram, captains over thousands, gave to the Levites for the Passover five thousand sheep, [and] seven hundred calves.
10
Καὶ ταῦτα τὰ γενόμενα, εὐπρεπῶς ἔστησαν οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ οἱ Λευῖται,
And when these things were done, the priests and Levites, having the unleavened bread, stood in very comely order according to the kindred,
11
ἔχοντες τὰ ἄζυμα κατὰ τὰς φυλὰς καὶ κατὰ τὰς μεριδαρχίας τῶν πατέρων ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ λαοῦ, προσενεγκεῖν τῷ Κυρίῳ κατὰ τὰ γεγραμμένα ἐν βιβλίῳ Μωυσῆ· καὶ οὕτως τὸ πρωϊνόν.
and according to the several dignities of the fathers, before the people, to offer to the Lord, as it is written in the book of Moses: and thus [did they] in the morning.
12
Καὶ ὤπτησαν τὸ πάσχα πυρὶ ὡς καθήκει, καὶ τὰς θυσίας ἥψησαν ἐν τοῖς χαλκείοις καὶ λέβησι μετʼ εὐωδίας, καὶ ἀπήνεγκαν πᾶσι τοῖς ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ·
And they roasted the Passover with fire, as appertaineth: as for the sacrifices, they sod them in brass pots and pans with a good savor,
13
μετὰ δὲ ταῦτα ἡτοίμασαν ἑαυτοῖς τε καὶ τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν ἀδελφοῖς αὐτῶν υἱοῖς Ἀαρών·
and set them before all the people: and afterward they prepared for themselves, and for the priests their brethren, the sons of Aaron.
14
οἱ γὰρ ἱερεῖς ἀνέφερον τὰ στέατα ἕως ἀωρίας· καὶ οἱ Λευῖται ἡτοίμασαν ἑαυτοῖς καὶ τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν ἀδελφοῖς αὐτῶν υἱοῖς Ἀαρών.
For the priests offered the fat until night: and the Levites prepared for themselves, and the priests their brethren, the sons of Aaron.
15
Καὶ οἱ ἱεροψάλται υἱοὶ Ἀσὰφ ἦσαν ἐπὶ τῆς τάξεως αὐτῶν, κατὰ τὰ ὑπὸ Δαυὶδ τεταγμένα, καὶ Ἀσὰφ, καὶ Ζαχαρίας, καὶ Ἐδδινοῦς ὁ παρὰ τοῦ βασιλέως.
The holy singers also, the sons of Asaph, were in their order, according to the appointment of David, to wit, Asaph, Zechariah, and Jeduthun, who was of the king’s retinue.
16
Καὶ οἱ θυρωροὶ ἐφʼ ἑκάστου πυλῶνος· οὐκ ἔστι παραβῆναι ἕκαστον τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ἐφημερίαν· οἱ γὰρ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτῶν οἱ Λευῖται ἡτοίμασαν αὐτοῖς,
Moreover the porters [were] at every gate; it was not lawful for any to go from his ordinary service: for their brethren the Levites prepared for them.
17
καὶ συνετελέσθη τὰ τῆς θυσίας τοῦ Κυρίου ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἀχθῆναι τὸ πάσχα,
Thus were the things that belonged to the sacrifices of the Lord accomplished in that day, that they might hold the Passover,
18
καὶ προσαχθῆναι τὰς θυσίας ἐπὶ τὸ τοῦ Κυρίου θυσιαστήριον, κατὰ τὴν ἐπιταγὴν τοῦ βασιλέως Ἰωσίου.
and offer sacrifices upon the altar of the Lord, according to the commandment of King Josiah.
19
Καὶ ἠγάγοσαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ οἱ εὑρεθέντες ἐν τῷ καιρῷ τούτῳ τὸ πάσχα καὶ τὴν ἑορτὴν τῶν ἀζύμων ἡμέρας ἑπτά.
So the children of Israel which were present held the Passover at that time, and the feast of sweet bread seven days.
20
Καὶ οὐκ ἤχθη τὸ πάσχα τοιοῦτον ἐν τῷ Ἰσραὴλ ἀπὸ τῶν χρόνων Σαμουὴλ τοῦ προφήτου.
And such a Passover was not kept in Israel since the time of the prophet Samuel.
21
Καὶ πάντες οἱ βασιλεῖς τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ οὐκ ἠγάγοσαν πάσχα τοιοῦτον, οἷον ἤγαγεν Ἰωσίας, καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς, καὶ οἱ Λευῖται, καὶ οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι, καὶ πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ ὁ εὑρεθεὶς ἐν τῇ κατοικήσει αὐτῶν ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ.
Yea, all the kings of Israel held not such a Passover as Josiah, and the priests, and the Levites, and the Jews, held with all Israel that were found dwelling at Jerusalem.
22
Ὀκτωκαιδεκάτῳ ἔτει βασιλεύοντος Ἰωσίου ἤχθη τὸ πάσχα τοῦτο.
In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was this Passover kept.
23
Καὶ ὠρθώθη τὰ ἔργα Ἰωσίου ἐνώπιον τοῦ Κυρίου αὐτοῦ ἐν καρδίᾳ πλήρει εὐσεβείας.
And the works of Josiah were upright before his Lord with a heart full of godliness.
24
Καὶ τὰ κατʼ αὐτὸν δὲ ἀναγέγραπται ἐν τοῖς ἔμπροσθεν χρόνοις, περὶ τῶν ἡμαρτηκότων καὶ ἠσεβηκότων εἰς τὸν Κύριον παρὰ πᾶν ἔθνος καὶ βασιλείαν, καὶ ἃ ἐλύπησαν αὐτὸν, ἔστι, καὶ οἱ λόγοι τοῦ Κυρίου ἀνέστησαν ἐπὶ Ἰσραήλ.
As for the things that came to pass in his time, they were written in former times, concerning those that sinned, and did wickedly against the Lord above all people and kingdoms, and how they grieved him exceedingly, so that the words of the Lord rose up against Israel.
25
Καὶ μετὰ πᾶσαν τὴν πρᾶξιν ταύτην Ἰωσίου, συνέβη Φαραὼ βασιλέα Αἰγύπτου ἐλθόντα πόλεμον ἐγεῖραι ἐν Χαρκαμὺς ἐπὶ τοῦ Εὐφράτου· καὶ ἐξῆλθεν εἰς ἀπάντησιν αὐτῷ Ἰωσίας.
Now after all these acts of Josiah it came to pass that Pharaoh the king of Egypt came to raise war at Carchemish upon Euphrates: and Josiah went out against him.
26
Καὶ διεπέμψατο πρὸς αὐτὸν βασιλεὺς Αἰγύπτου, λέγων, τί ἐμοὶ καὶ σοί ἐστι, βασιλεῦ τῆς Ἰουδαίας;
But the king of Egypt sent to him, saying, What have I to do with thee, O king of Judea?
27
Οὐχί πρὸς σὲ ἐξαπέσταλμαι ὑπὸ Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ· ἐπὶ γὰρ τοῦ Εὐφράτου ὁ πόλεμός μου ἐστί· καὶ νῦν Κύριος μετʼ ἑμοῦ ἐστι, καὶ Κύριος μετʼ ἐνοῦ ἑπισπεύδων ἐστίν· ἀπόστηθι, καὶ μὴ ἐναντιοῦ τῷ Κυρίῳ.
I am not sent out from the Lord God against thee; for my war is upon Euphrates: and now the Lord is with me, yea the Lord is with me hastening me forward: depart from me, and be not against the Lord.
28
Καὶ οὐκ ἀπέστρεψεν ἑαυτὸν Ἰωσίας ἐπὶ τὸ ἅρμα αὐτοῦ, ἀλλὰ πολεμεῖν αὐτὸν ἐπεχείρει, οὐ προσέχων ῥήμασιν Ἰερεμίου προφήτου ἐκ στόματος Κυρίου.
Howbeit Josiah did not turn back his chariot from him, but undertook to fight with him, not regarding the words of the prophet Jeremiah spoken by the mouth of the Lord:
29
Ἀλλὰ συνεστήσατο πρὸς αὐτὸν πόλεμον ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ Μαγεδδώ· καὶ κατέβησαν οἱ ἄρχοντες πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Ἰωσίαν.
but joined battle with him in the plain of Megiddo, and the princes came against King Josiah.
30
Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τοῖς παισὶν ἑαυτοῦ, ἀποστήσατέ με ἀπὸ τῆς μάχης, ἠσθένησα γὰρ λίαν· καὶ εὐθέως ἀπέστησαν αὐτὸν οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τῆς παρατάξεως.
Then said the king unto his servants, Carry me away out of the battle; for I am very weak. And immediately his servants took him away out of the battle.
31
Καὶ ἀνέβη ἐπὶ τὸ ἅρμα τὸ δευτέριον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀποκατασταθεὶς, εἰς Ἰερουσαλὴμ, μετήλλαξε τὸν βίον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν τῷ πατρικῷ τάφῳ.
Then got he up upon his second chariot; and being brought back to Jerusalem died, and was buried in his father’s sepulcher.
32
Καὶ ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ ἐπένθησαν τὸν Ἰωσίαν, καὶ ἐθρήνησεν Ἱερεμίας ὁ προφήτης ὑπὲρ Ἰωσίον, ὑαι οἱ προκαθήμενοι σὺν γυναιξὶν ἐθρηνοῦσαν αὐτὸν ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης· καὶ ἐξεδόθη τοῦτο γίνεσθαι ἀεὶ εἰς ἅπαν τὸ γένος Ἰσραήλ.
And in all Jewry they mourned for Josiah, yea, Jeremiah the prophet lamented for Josiah, and the chief men with the women made lamentation for him unto this day: and this was given out for an ordinance to be done continually in all the nation of Israel.
33
Ταῦτα δὲ ἀναγέγραπται ἐν τῇ βίβλῳ τῶν ἱστορουμένων περὶ τῶν βασιλέων τῆς Ἰουδαίας, καὶ τὸ καθʼ ἓν πραχθὲν τῆς πράξεως Ἰωσίου, καὶ τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ, καὶ τῆς συνέσεως αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ νόμῳ Κυρίου· τά τε προπραχθέντα ὑπʼ αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ νῦν, ἱστόρηται ἐν τῷ βιβλίῳ τῶν βασιλέων Ἰσραὴλ καὶ Ἰούδα.
These things are written in the book of the stories of the kings of Judah, and every one of the acts that Josiah did, and his glory, and his understanding in the law of the Lord; and the things that he had done before, and the things now recited, are reported in the book of the kings of Israel and Judea.
34
Καὶ ἀναλαβόντες οἱ ἐκ τοῦ ἔθνους τὸν Ἰεχονίαν υἱὸν Ἰωσίου, ἀνέδειξαν βασιλέα ἀντὶ Ἰωσείου τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, ὄντα ἐτῶν εἴκοσι τριῶν.
And the people took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made [him] king instead of Josiah his father when he was twenty and three years old.
35
Καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ἰσραὴλ καὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ μῆνας τρεῖς· καὶ ἀπέστησεν αὐτὸν βασιλεὺς Αἰγύπτου τοῦ μὴ βασιλεύειν ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ,
And he reigned in Judea and in Jerusalem three months: and then the king of Egypt deposed him from reigning in Jerusalem.
36
καὶ ἐζημίωσε τὸ ἔθνος ἀργυρίου ταλάντοις ἑκατὸν καὶ χρυσίου ταλάντῳ ἑνί.
And he set a tax upon the land of a hundred talents of silver and one talent of gold.
37
Καὶ ἀνέδειξε βασιλεὺς Αἰγύπτου βασιλέα Ἰωακὶμ τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ βασιλέα τῆς Ἰουδαίας καὶ Ἱερουσαλήμ.
The king of Egypt also made King Jehoiakim his brother king of Judea and Jerusalem.
38
Καὶ ἔδησεν Ἰωακὶμ τοὺς μεγιστᾶνας, Ζαράκην δὲ τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ συλλαβὼν ἀνήγαγεν ἐξ Αἰγύπτου.
And he bound Jehoiakim and the nobles: but Zarius his brother he apprehended, and brought him out of Egypt.
39
Ἐτῶν δὲ ἦν εἰκοσιπέντε Ἰωακὶμ ὅτε ἐβασίλευσε τῆς Ἰουδαίας καὶ Ἱερουσαλήμ· καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου.
Five and twenty years old was Jehoiakim when he was made king in the land of Judea and Jerusalem; and he did evil before the Lord.
40
Μετʼ αὐτὸν δὲ ἀνέβη Ναβουχοδονόσορ ὁ βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος, καὶ ἔδησεν αὐτὸν ἐν χαλκείῳ δεσμῷ, καὶ ἀπήγαγεν εἰς Βαβυλῶνα.
Wherefore against him Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon came up, and bound him with a chain of brass, and carried him into Babylon.
41
Καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ἱερῶν σκευῶν τοῦ Κυρίου λαβὼν Ναβουχοδονόσορ καὶ ἀπενέγκας, ἀπηρείσατο ἐν τῷ ναῷ αὐτοῦ ἐν Βαβυλῶνι.
Nebuchadnezzar also took of the holy vessels of the Lord, and carried them away, and set them in his own temple at Babylon.
42
Τὰ δὲ ἱστορηθέντα περὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ τῆς ἀκαθαρσίας αὐτοῦ καὶ δυσσεβείας, ἀναγέγραπται ἐν τῇ βιβλῳ τῶν χρόνων τῶν βασιλέων.
But those things that are recorded of him, and of his uncleanness and impiety, are written in the chronicles of the kings.
43
Καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ Ἰωακὶμ ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ· ὅτε γὰρ ἀνεδείχθη, ἦν ἐτῶν ὀκτώ.
And Jehoiakim his son reigned in his stead: he was made king being eighteen years old;
44
Βασιλεύει δὲ μῆνας τρεῖς καὶ ἡμέρας δέκα ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν ἔναντι Κυρίου.
and reigned but three months and ten days in Jerusalem; and did evil before the Lord.
45
Καὶ μετʼ ἐνιαυτὸν ἀποστείλας Ναβουχοδονόσορ μετήγαγεν αὐτὸν εἰς Βαβυλῶνα, ἅμα τοῖς ἱεροῖς σκεύεσι τοῦ Κυρίου,
So after a year Nebuchadnezzar sent and caused him to be brought into Babylon with the holy vessels of the Lord.
46
καὶ ἀνέδειξε Σεδεκίαν βασιλέα τῆς Ἰουδαίας καὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ, ὄντα ἐτῶν εἴκοσι ἑνός· βασιλεύει δὲ ἔτη ἕνδεκα,
And made Zedekiah king of Judea and Jerusalem, when he was one and twenty years old; and he reigned eleven years:
47
καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, καὶ οὐκ ἐνετράπη ἀπὸ τῶν ῥηθέντων λόγων ὑπὸ Ἱερεμίου τοῦ προφήτου ἐκ στόματος τοῦ Κυρίου.
and he did evil also in the sight of the Lord, and cared not for the words that were spoken unto him by the prophet Jeremiah from the mouth of the Lord.
48
Καὶ ὁρκισθεὶς ἀπὸ τοῦ βασιλέως Ναβουχοδονόσορ τῷ ὀνόματι Κυρίου, ἐπιορκήσας ἀπέστη· καὶ σκληρύνας αὐτοῦ τὸν τράχηλον καὶ τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ, παρέβη τὰ νόμιμα Κυρίου Θεοῦ Ἰσραήλ.
And after that King Nebuchadnezzar had made him to swear by the name of the Lord, he forswore himself, and rebelled; and hardening his neck, and his heart, he transgressed the laws of the Lord God of Israel.
49
Καὶ οἱ ἡγούμενοι δὲ τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ τῶν ἱερέων πολλὰ ἠσέβησαν καὶ ὑπὲρ πάσας τὰς ἀκαθαρσίας πάντων τῶν ἐθνῶν, καὶ ἐμίαναν τὸ ἱερὸν τοῦ Κυρίον τὸ ἁγιαζόμενον ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ.
The governors also of the people and of the priests did many things against the laws, and passed all the pollutions of all nations, and defiled the temple of the Lord, which was sanctified in Jerusalem.
50
Καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ Θεὸζ τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν διὰ τοῦ ἀγγέλου αὐτοῦ μετακαλέσαι αὐτοὺς, καθότι ἐφείδετο αὐτῶν καὶ τοῦ σκηνώματος αὐτοῦ.
Nevertheless the God of their fathers sent by his messenger to call them back, because he spared them and his tabernacle also.
51
Αὐτοὶ δὲ ἐμυκτήρισαν ἐν τοῖς ἀγγέλοις αὐτοῦ·
But they had his messengers in derision; and, in the day that the Lord spoke unto them, they made a sport of his prophets:
52
καὶ ᾗ ἡμέρᾳ ἐλάλησε Κύριος, ἦσαν ἐκπαίζοντες τοὺς προφήτας αὐτοῦ, ἕως οὗ θυμῶντα αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τῷ ἔθνει αὐτοῦ διὰ τὰ δυσσεβήματα, προστάξαι ἀναβιβάσαι ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς τοὺς βασιλεῖς τῶν Χαλδαίων.
so far forth, that he, being wroth with his people for their great ungodliness, commanded the kings of the Chaldees to come up against them;
53
Οὗτοι ἀπέκτειναν τοὺς νεανίσκους αὐτῶν ἐν ῥομφαία, περικύκλῳ τοῦ ἁγίου αὐτῶν ἱεροῦ· καὶ οὐκ ἐφείσαντο νεανίσκου καὶ παρθένου, καὶ πρεσβύτου καὶ νεωτέρου, ἀλλὰ πάντας παρέδωκαν εἰς τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν.
who slew their young men with the sword, yea, even within the compass of their holy temple, and spared neither young man nor maid, old man nor child, among them; for he delivered all into their hands.
54
Καὶ πάντα τὰ ἱερὰ σκεύη τοῦ Κυρίου τὰ μεγάλα καὶ τὰ μικρά, καὶ τὰς κιβωτοὺς τοῦ Κυρίου, καὶ τὰς βασιλικὰς ἀποθήκας ἀναλαβόντες ἀπήνεγκαν εἰς Βαβυλῶνα.
And they took all the holy vessels of the Lord, both great and small, with the vessels of the ark of God, and the king’s treasures, and carried them away into Babylon.
55
Καὶ ἐνεπύρισαν τὸν οἶκον τοῦ Κυρίου, καὶ ἔλυσαν τὰ τείχη Ἱερουσαλὴμ, καὶ τοὺς πύργους αὐτῆς ἐνεπύρισαν ἐν πυρί,
As for the house of the Lord, they burned it, and broke down the walls of Jerusalem, and set fire upon her towers:
56
καὶ συνετέλεσαν πάντα τὰ ἔνδοξα αὐτῆς ἀχρειῶσαι, καὶ τοὺς ἐπιλοίπους ἀπήγαγε μετὰ ῥομφαίας εἰς Βαβυλῶνα.
and as for her glorious things, they never ceased till they had consumed and brought them all to nought; and the people that were not slain with the sword he carried into Babylon:
57
Καὶ ἦσαν παῖδες αὐτῷ καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ, μέχρις οὗ βασιλεῦσαι Πέρσας, εἰς ἀναπλήρωσιν ῥήματος τοῦ Κυρίου ἐν στόματι Ἱερεμίου·
who became servants to him and his children, till the Persians reigned, to fulfill the word of the Lord spoken by the mouth of Jeremiah:
58
ἕως τοῦ εὐδοκῆσαι τὴν γῆν τὰ σάββατα αὐτῆς, πάντα τὸν χρόνον τῆς ἐρημώσεως αὐτῆς, σαββατιεῖ εἰς συμπλήρωσιν ἐτῶν ἑβδομήκοντα.
until the land had enjoyed her Sabbaths, the whole time of her desolation shall she rest, until the full term of seventy years.
