Єе^зекїя е^гда црsтвова'ти нача`, к~е, лњтъ бы'сть, и^ к~џ, лњтъ црsтвова` въ і^ерsли'мњ. и%мя мт~ри е^го а^вїя дщи` заха'рїи.

¹

And Ezekias began to reign at the age of twenty-five years, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Abia, daughter of Zacharias.

²

сътвори' же ё^го'дно преD гм~ъ, по вся` и^же творя'ше дв~дъ эTц~ъ е^го.

²

And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father David had done.

³

и^ бы'сть е^гда ста` на црsтвњ е^го, въ мsць прь'выи, эTвръзе две'ри до'мђ гн~я. и^ ѓ^бнови` и^хъ

³

And it came to pass, when he was established over his kingdom, in the first month, he opened the doors of the house of the Lord, and repaired them.

⁴

и^ въведе` сщ~ен#ники и^ левљ=ты. и^ събра` и^хъ на площа'ди въсто'чнњи.

⁴

And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and put them on the east side,

⁵

и^ рече къ ни'мъ. ё^слы'шите м^я левљ=ти и^ ѓ^ст~итеся нн~њ и^ ѓ^чи'стите до'мъ г~а б~а эTц~ь на'шихъ. і^ и^знеси'те вс^ю нечистотђ` эT ст~ительства”

⁵

and said to them, Hear, ye Levites: now sanctify yourselves, and sanctify the house of the Lord God of your fathers, and cast out the impurity from the holy places.

⁶

ЈА/ко съгрњши'шA эTц~ы на'ши, и^ сътвори'ша лђка'во предъ гм~ъ бм~ъ на'шимъ. и^ ѓ^ста'виша е^го, и^ эTврати'ша лице` свое` эT жили'ща г~а б~а на'шего. и^ възда'шA хребеT,

⁶

For our fathers have revolted, and done that which was evil before the Lord our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their face from the tabernacle of the Lord, and have turned their back.

⁷

и^ затвори'ша вра'та хра'мђ, и^ погаси'ша свњти'лники. и^ џимиа'ма же не вож#го'ша, и^ всесъж#же'нїя не принесо'ша ст~омђ б~ђ і^и^л~евђ”

⁷

And they have shut up the doors of the temple, and put out the lamps, and have not burnt incense, and have not offered whole-burnt-offerings in the holy place to the God of Israel.

⁸

Соподвиго'ша же гнњвъ гн~ь на і^ё^де'ю и^ на і^ерsли'мъ, и^ преда'сть и^хъ в# подвиже'нїе и^ погђбле'нїе, и^ на звизда'нїе. ја%ко вы` ви'дите ѓ^чи'ма ва'шими,

⁸

And the Lord was very angry with Juda and Jerusalem, and made them an astonishment, and a desolation, and a hissing, as ye see with your eyes.

⁹

и^ с^е падо'ша эTц~ы на'ши мечемъ, и^ сн~ове на'ши и^ дще'ри на'ши и^ сђпрђги наши плњне'ни ве'дени сђть въ зе'млю не свою`, и^ нн~њ ё^бо сђть в не'и”

⁹

And, behold, your fathers have been smitten with the sword, and your sons and your daughters and your wives are in captivity in a land not their own, as it is even now.

¹⁰

И$ нн~њ ё^бо положи'те на срDца ва'ша да поста'вите завњт# съ гм~ъ бм~ъ і^и^л~евымъ. и^ эTвратиT эT на'съ гнњвъ ја%рости свое'я”

¹⁰

Therefore it is now in my heart to make a covenant, a covenant with the Lord God of Israel, that he may turn away his fierce wrath from us.

¹¹

И$ н~нњ не лиша'итеся ја%ко ваs и^збра` г~ь да стои^те` пред ниM, и^ слђж'ите е^мђ и^ бы'ти е^мђ слђжа'ще и^ кадя'ще”

¹¹

And now be not wanting to your duty, for the Lord has chosen you to stand before him to minister, and to be ministers and burners of incense to him.

¹²

И$ въста'ша левљ=ти мааg сн~ъ а^масїеv і^ и^ѓ^и'ль сн~ъ заха'рїеv эT сн~овъ каа'дъдовыX и^ эT сн~овъ мерарїи'ныX. киs сн~ъ а^вдїев#, і^ а^за'рїа сн~ъ и^лае^и'левъ. и^ эT сн~ов# же герсо'на. и^ѓ^даD сн~ъ земна`. и^ ѓ^а^дамъ, сїи сн~ы и^ѓ^а^ха'и,

¹²

Then the Levites rose up, Maath the son of Amasi, and Joel the son of Azarias, of the sons of Caath: and of the sons of Merari, Kis the son of Abdi, and Azarias the son of Ilaelel: and of the sons of Gedsoni, Jodaad the son of Zemmath, and Joadam: these were the sons of Joacha.

¹³

¹³

And of the sons of Elisaphan; Zambri, and Jeiel: and of the sons of Asaph; Zacharias, and Matthanias:

¹⁴

и^ е^ще эT сн~овъ а^мъма'нь і^и'ль, и^ семе'и. н^о и^ эT сн~овъ и^диџђмль. самаџїя, и^ ѓ^зїи'ль”

¹⁴

and of the sons of Æman; Jeiel, and Semei: and of the sons of Idithun; Samaias, and Oziel.

¹⁵

Събра'ша же бра'тїю свою`, и^ ѓ^ст~ишася, и^ внидо'шA по за'повњди цр~евњ и^ по повеле'нїю гн~ю да ѓ^чи'стяT доM бж~їи

¹⁵

And they gathered their brethren, and they purified themselves according to the king's command by the order of the Lord, to purify the house of the Lord.

¹⁶

сщ~ен#ницыy внидо'ша внђтрь цр~кви гн~я да ѓ^чи'стяT ю& и^ снесо'ша всю` нечистость ю%же внђтрї до'мђ гн~я наи^до'ша, и^ въ дворњ` до'мђ гн~я. е^же взя'ша левљ=ти и^знесо'ша к пото'кђ ке'дрьскђ во'нъ,

¹⁶

And the priests entered into the house of the Lord, to purify it, and they cast out all the uncleanness that was found in the house of the Lord, even into the court of the house of the Lord: and the Levites received it to cast into the brook of Kedron without.

¹⁷

и^ нача'ша же въ а~ дн~ь мsца но'ваго а~ го ѓ^чища'ти. и^ въ дн~ь и~ того'ж# мsца внидо'ша въ притво'ръ до'мђ цр~кви гн~я, ѓ^чи'стиша же цр~ковь гн~ю въ дн~ь и~, и^ въ дн~ь ѕ~і, мsца того'же и^же нача'ша съврьши'ша.

¹⁷

And Ezekias began on the first day, even on the new moon of the first month, to purify, and on the eighth day of the month they entered into the temple of the Lord: and they purified the house of the Lord in eight days; and on the thirteenth day of the first month they finished the work.

¹⁸

и^ внидо'ша внђтрь къ і^е^зекїи цр~ю и^ реко'ша к немђ ѓ^чи'стихомъ весь до'мъ бж~їи и^ ѓ^лта'рь вс^есъж#же'нїя и^ сосђды е^го и^ стоl предложе'нїя съ всњми` съсђды е^го

¹⁸

And they went in to king Ezekias, and said, We have purified all the things in the house of the Lord, the altar of whole-burnt-offering, and its vessels, and the table of shew-bread, and its vessels;

¹⁹

и^ вс^я сосђды цр~кви ја^же ѓ^скверни` цр~ь а^ха'зъ въ црsтво свое` въ эTстђпле'нїи свое'мъ” И$ с^е ё^гото'вана сђть и^ ѓ^чище'на вс^я преD ѓ^лтаре'мъ гн~имъ”

¹⁹

and all the vessels which king Achaz polluted in his reign, in his apostacy, we have prepared and purified: behold, they are before the altar of the Lord.

²⁰

И$ въста'в же ѕњло ра'но і^е^зекїя цр~ь и^ събра` вся` нача'лники гра'да и^ възы'иде в до'мъ гн~ь.

²⁰

And king Ezekias rose early in the morning, and gathered the chief men of the city, and went up to the house of the Lord.

²¹

и^ принесе` ю%нець. з~, и^ ѓ'венъ, з~, а%гнеw з~, и^ козе'лъ эT ко'зъ за грњхи`, за цр~я, за сщ~енїе, и^ за і^и^л~я. рече же сщ~ен#никомъ сн~омъ а^аро'ним#, и^ да възы'идђтъ на ѓ^лта'рь гн~ь жренїя те'лча,

²¹

And he brought seven calves, seven rams, seven lambs, seven kids of goats for a sin-offering, for the kingdom, and for the holy things, and for Israel: and he told the priests the sons of Aaron to go up to the altar of the Lord.

²²

ё^би'ша б^о ю%нець и^ взя'ша кро'вь сщ~енницы. и^злїя'ша т^ђ на ѓ^лта'рь, и^ ё^би'ша е^ще` ѓ%веn и^ кро'вь на ѓ^лта'рь възлїя'хђ. и^ пожроша а%гнець и^ възлїя'ша на ѓ^лта'рь кро'вь

²²

And they slew the calves, and the priests received the blood, and poured it on the altar: and they slew the rams, and poured the blood upon the altar: also they slew the lambs, and poured the blood round the altar.

²³

и^ приведо'ша козе'лъ за грњхи преD цр~я и^ цр~кви, възложи'ша же рђки своа на ниX,

²³

And they brought the goats for a sin-offering before the king and the congregation; and laid their hands upon them.

²⁴

и^ пожро'ша иX сщ~еницы и^ покропи'ша кро'вїю иX преD ѓ^лтареM и^ ѓ^чи'стиша за грњхи` всего` і^и^л~я. зане` за всего і^и^л~я повелњ` цр~ь всесоyже'нїе за грњхи` пожре'ти.

²⁴

And the priests slew them, and offered their blood as a propitiation on the altar; and they made atonement for all Israel: for the king said, The whole-burnt-offering, and the sin-offerings are for all Israel.

²⁵

поста'ви же левљ=ты в домђ гн~и, съ киMва'лы, и^ ўалты'рми, и^ гђсльми` по за'повњди двDа цр~я и^ га'да ви'дящаh и^ наџа'на прoрка съ цр~еM. ја%ко гн~е повелњнїе быs рђка'ма прoркъ е^го.

²⁵

And he stationed the Levites in the house of the Lord with cymbals, and lutes, and harps, according to the commandment of king David, and of Gad the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet: for by the commandment of the Lord the order was in the hand of the prophets.

²⁶

ста'ша же левљ=ти держа'щи ѓ^гра'ны двд~вы, и^ сщ~енницы трђбы.

²⁶

And the Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.

²⁷

и^ повелњ і^е^зекїа да принесђтъ всесож#же'нїя на ѓ^лта'рь и^ е^гда же приноша'хђся всесъж#же'нїя нача'ша хвалы` пњти гв~и. и^ звђча'ти трђба'ми, и^ в ро'зныя ѓ^рга'ны и^же дв~дъ цр~ь і^и^л~евъ ё^гото'ва.

²⁷

And Ezekias told them to offer up the whole-burnt-offering on the altar: and when they began to offer the whole-burnt-offering, they began to sing to the Lord, and the trumpets accompanied the instruments of David king of Israel.

²⁸

и^ пњвцы` и^ тїи и^же держа'хђ трђбы бњша ё^ строе'нїи свое^мъ пою^ще, до'ндеже съвръши'шася всесъж#же'нїя.

²⁸

And all the congregation worshipped, and the psalm-singers were singing, and the trumpets sounding, until the whole-burnt-sacrifice had been completely offered.

²⁹

е^гда' же сконъча'но бы'сть приноше'нїе, прекло'н#ся цр~ь и^ вси` и^же бя'хђ с ни'мъ. и^ поклони'шася гв~и.

²⁹

And when they had done offering it, the king and all that were present bowed, and worshipped.

³⁰

повелњ же і^е^зекїя цр~ь и^ кн~ѕи левљ=тьстїи да въсхва'лятъ г~а словесы` двд~выми і^ и^а^сафа прoрка и^же хвали'ша г~а въ весе'лїи и^ падоша и^ поклони'шася гв~и”

³⁰

And king Ezekias and the princes told the Levites to sing hymns to the Lord in the words of David, and of Asaph the prophet: and they sang hymns with gladness, and fell down and worshipped.

³¹

І$е^зекїя же па'ки сїя приложи `, и^ рече и^спо'лните нн~њ рђки ва'ша г~ђ, и^ приведи'те и^ приноси'те жрътвы и^ хвалы` в домђ` гн~и. и^ принесе` все` мно'жество жрътвы и^ хвалы` въ до'мъ гн~ь. и^ всяк# и^же бл~говоли` срDцемъ всесъж#же'нїя

³¹

Then Ezekias answered and said, Now ye have consecrated yourselves to the Lord, bring near and offer sacrifices of praise in the house of the Lord. And the congregation brought sacrifices and thank-offerings into the house of the Lord; and every one who was ready in his heart brought whole-burnt-offerings.

³²

и^ бы'сть число` всесъж#же'нїи ја%же принесе` събра'нїе ю%нець, о~, ѓ%венъ р~, а%гнець, и~ со'тъ. вся` сїя гв~и

³²

And the number of the whole-burnt-offerings which the congregation brought, was seventy calves, a hundred rams, two hundred lambs: all these were for a whole-burnt-offering to the Lord.

³³

и^ ѓ^ ѓ^чище'нїи те'лцовъ, х~. и^ ѓ'вец# Wг~”

³³

And the consecrated calves were six hundred, and the sheep three thousand.

³⁴

Но сщ~енницы ё^бо не мно'ѕи бя'хђ, и^ не можа'хђ ѓ^дира'ти ко'жъ всесоQже'нїя гдњ` и^ левљ=ти и^ бра'тїа и^хъ помого'ша и^мъ, дондеже и^спо'лнися дњло. и^ дон#деже ѓ^ст~ишася жръцы`. Левљ=ти б^о легча'ишимъ чи'номъ ѓ^ст~ишася не'же сщ~енницы

³⁴

But the priests were few, and could not flay the whole-burnt-offering, so their brethren the Levites helped them, until the work was finished, and until the priests had purified themselves: for the Levites more zealously purified themselves than the priests.

³⁵

зане` бы'ша всесъжъже'нїя мно'га тђка съвръшенїа сп~сенїя, и^ жрътвы вс^есъж#же'нїя” И$ съврьше'на еs слђжба до'мђ гн~я,

³⁵

And the whole-burnt-offering was abundant, with the fat of the complete peace-offering, and the drink-offerings of the whole-burnt-sacrifice. So the service was established in the house of the Lord.

³⁶

възвесели' же ся і^е^зекїя и^ вс^и лю'дїе. и^ того ра'ди е^же слђже'нїе гн~е бы'сть и^спо'лнено. внеза'пђ б^о сътвори'ти бы'ти и^ ё^го'дно бы'сть”

³⁶

And Ezekias and all the people rejoiced, because God had prepared the people: for the thing was done suddenly.
