31 — 2 Paralipomenon

1And when these things had been duly celebrated, all Israel that were found in the cities of Juda, went out, and they broke the idols, and cut down the groves, demolished the high places, and destroyed the altars, not only out of all Juda and Benjamin, but out of Ephraim also and Manasses, till they had utterly destroyed them: then all the children of Israel returned to their possessions and cities.E fatte che furono queste cose secondo il rito, tutti gl'Israeliti, che si trovarono nelle città di Giuda, andarono a spezzare i simolacri, e tagliare i boschetti, e i demolire i luoghi eccelsi, e a distrugger gli altari non solo in tutto il paese di Giuda, e di Beniamin ma anche ne' paesi di Ephraim, e di Manasse; né si ristettero finché gli ebbero totalmente annichilati: indi tutti i figliuoli d'Israele se ne tornarono alle loro possessioni, e alle loro città.AND when these thinges had bene ritely celebrated, al Israel that was found in the cities of Iuda, went forth, and they brake the idols, and cut downe the groucs, ouerthrew the excelses, and destroyed the altars, not onlie out of al Iuda and Beniamin, but out of Ephraim also and Manasses, til they vtterly destroyed them: and al the children of Israel returned into their possessions and cities.Cumque hæc fuissent rite celebrata, egressus est omnis Israël qui inventus fuerat in urbibus Juda, et fregerunt simulacra, succideruntque lucos, demoliti sunt excelsa, et altaria destruxerunt, non solum de universo Juda et Benjamin, sed et de Ephraim quoque et Manasse, donec penitus everterent: reversique sunt omnes filii Israël in possessiones et civitates suas. 2And Ezechias appointed companies of the priests, and the Levites, by their courses, every man in his own office, to wit, both of the priests, and of the Levites, for holocausts, and for peace offerings, to minister, and to praise, and to sing in the gates of the camp of the Lord.Ed Ezechia formò varie classi di sacerdoti, e di Leviti secondo i loro scompartimenti; e ognuno tanto de' sacerdoti, come de' Leviti avea l'uffizio proprio pegli olocausti, e pelle ostie pacifiche, affinchè esercitassero il lor ministero, e desser lode a Dio, e cantassero alle porte dell'alloggiamento del Signore.And Ezechias appoynted companies of Priestes, and of Leuites, by their diuisions, euerie man in his owne office, to witte, as wel of the Priestes, as of the Leuites, for the holocaustes, and pacifiques, that they should minister, and confesse, and sing in the gates of the campe of our Lord.Ezechias autem constituit turmas sacerdotales et Leviticas per divisiones suas, unumquemque in officio proprio, tam sacerdotum videlicet quam Levitarum, ad holocausta et pacifica, ut ministrarent et confiterentur, canerentque in portis castrorum Domini. 3And the king’s part was, that of his proper substance the holocaust should be offered always morning and evening, and on the sabbaths, and the new moons and the other solemnities, as it is written in the law of Moses.E il re suppliva del suo proprio tesoro all'oblazione dell'olocausto perpetuo della mattina, e della sera, e di quelli dei sabati, e delle calende, e delle altre solennità, come sta scritto nella legge di Mosè.And the kinges part was, that of his proper substance holocaust should be offered, morning alwaies and euening, in the Sabbathes also, and the Calendes and in other solennites, as it is writen in the law of Moyses.Pars autem regis erat, ut de propria ejus substantia offerretur holocaustum, mane semper et vespere: sabbatis quoque, et calendis, et solemnitatibus ceteris, sicut scriptum est in lege Moysi. 4He commanded also the people that dwelt in Jerusalem, to give to the priests, and the Levites their portion, that they might attend to the law of the Lord.Egli pure comandò al popolo dimorante in Gerusalemme di dare ai sacerdoti, e Leviti le loro porzioni, affinchè potessero attendere all'adempimento della legge del Signore.He commanded also the people that dwelt in Ierusaiem, to geue portions to the Priestes, and the Leuites, that they might attend the law of our Lord.Præcepit etiam populo habitantium Jerusalem ut darent partes sacerdotibus et Levitis, ut possent vacare legi Domini.

5Which when it was noised abroad in the ears of the people, the children of Israel offered in abundance the firstfruits of corn, wine, and oil, and honey: and brought the tithe of all things which the ground bringeth forth.La qual cosa subito che venne alle orecchie del popolo, i figliuoli d'Israele offersero in gran quantità le primizie del grano, del vino, e dell'olio, e anche del miele; e offerser la decima di tutto quello, che la terra produce.Which when it was noysed in the eares of the multitude, the children of Israel offered very manie first fruites of corne, of wine, and of oyle, of honie also: and of al thinges, which the ground bringeth forth, they offered tithes.Quod cum percrebruisset in auribus multitudinis, plurimas obtulere primitias filii Israël frumenti, vini, et olei: mellis quoque, et omnium quæ gignit humus, decimas obtulerunt. 6Moreover the children of Israel and Juda, that dwelt in the cities of Juda, brought in the tithes of oxen, and sheep, and the tithes of holy things, which they had vowed to the Lord their God: and carrying them all, made many heaps.E que' figliuoli d'Israele, e di Giuda, i quali abitavano nella città di Giuda, offersero la decima de' buoi, e delle pecore, e la decima delle cose santificate, e offerte per voto al Signore Dio loro; e portate tutte queste cose, ne fecero grandi masse.Yea and the children of Israel and Iuda, that dwelt in the cities of Iuda, offered tithes of oxen, and sheepe, and tithes of sanctified thinges, which they had vowed to our Lord their God: and carying them al, made manie heapes.Sed et filii Israël et Juda qui habitabant in urbibus Juda, obtulerunt decimas boum et ovium, decimasque sanctorum quæ voverant Domino Deo suo: atque universa portantes, fecerunt acervos plurimos. 7In the third month they began to lay the foundations of the heaps, and in the seventh month, they finished them.Il terzo mese cominciarono ad ammassare, e finirono al settimo.The third moneth they began to lay the fundations of the heapes, and in the seuenth moneth they finished them.Mense tertio cœperunt acervorum jacere fundamenta, et mense septimo compleverunt eos. 8And when Ezechias and his princes came in, they saw the heaps, and they blessed the Lord and the people of Israel.Ed essendosi portati colà Ezechia, e i suoi grandi, vider le masse, e benedissero il Signore, e (lodarono) il popolo d'Israele.And when Ezechias, and his princes came in, they saw the heapes, and blessed our Lord, and the people of Israel.Cumque ingressi fuissent Ezechias et principes ejus, viderunt acervos, et benedixerunt Domino ac populo Israël.

9And Ezechias asked the priests and the Levites, why the heaps lay so.Ed Ezechia domandò ai sacerdoti, e ai Leviti il perchè tutte quelle masse di roba stesser per terra.And Ezechias asked the Priestes and the Leuites, why the heapes lay so:Interrogavitque Ezechias sacerdotes et Levitas, cur ita jacerent acervi. 10Azarias the chief priest of the race of Sadoc answered him, saying: Since the firstfruits began to be offered in the house of the Lord, we have eaten, and have been filled, and abundance is left, because the Lord hath blessed his people: and of that which is left is this great store which thou seest.E Azaria della stirpe di Sadoc, primo Sacerdote rispose, e disse: Dopo che principiarono ad offerirsi le primizie nella casa del Signore, noi ne abbiam mangiato a sazietà, ma moltissimo è quello, che è avanzato, perchè il Signore ha benedetto il suo popolo: e gli avanzi sono in quella quantità, che tu vedi.Azarias the high Priest of the stocke of Sadoc answered him, saying: Since first fruites began to be offered in the house of our Lord, we haue eaten, and haue bene ful, and very much hath remayned, because our Lord hath blessed his people: and of the remaynes this is the abundance, which thou seest.Respondit illi Azarias sacerdos primus de stirpe Sadoc, dicens: Ex quo cœperunt offerri primitiæ in domo Domini, comedimus, et saturati sumus, et remanserunt plurima, eo quod benedixerit Dominus populo suo: reliquarum autem copia est ista, quam cernis. 11Then Ezechias commanded to prepare storehouses in the house of the Lord. And when they had done so,Ordinò pertanto Ezechia, che si preparassero de' granaj nella casa del Signore.Fzechias therfore commanded that storehouses should be prepared in the house of our Lord. Which when they had done,Præcepit igitur Ezechias ut præpararent horrea in domo Domini. Quod cum fecissent, 12They brought in faithfully both the firstfruits, and the tithes, and all they had vowed. And the overseer of them was Chonenias the Levite, and Semei his brother was the second,E fatto questo, vi riposer dentro fedelmente tanto le primizie, come le decime, e le offerte di voto. E ne fu data la custodia a Chonenia Levita, e in secondo luogo a Semei suo fratello;they brought in as wel the first fruites, as the tithes, and watsoeuer they had vowed, faythfully. And the ouerseer of them was Chonenias a Leuite, and Semeihis brother the second,intulerunt tam primitias quam decimas, et quæcumque voverant, fideliter. Fuit autem præfectus eorum Chonenias Levita, et Semei frater ejus secundus, 13And after him Jehiel, and Azarias, and Nahath, and Asael, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Jesmachias, and Mahath, and Banaias, overseers under the hand of Chonenias, and Semei his brother, by the commandment of Ezechias the king, and Azarias the high priest of the house of God, to whom all things appertained.E dopo di questo a Jahiel, e ad Azaria, e a Nahath, Asael, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliei, e Jesmachia, e a Mahatli, e a Banaia deputati, con dipendenza da Chonenia, e da Semei suo fratello per comando del re Ezechia, di Azaria Pontefice della casa di Dio ai quali rendevasi conto di ogni cosa.after whom Iahiel, and Azarias, and Nahath, and Asael, and Ierimoth, Iosabad also, and Eliel, and Iesmachias, and Mahath, and Banaias, ouerseers vnder the hand of Chonenias, and Semei his brother, by the commandment of Ezechias the king, and Azarias the high Priest of the house of God, to whom al thinges apperteyned.post quem Jahiel, et Azarias, et Nahath, et Asaël, et Jerimoth, Jozabad quoque, et Eliel, et Jesmachias, et Mahath, et Banaias, præpositi sub manibus Choneniæ et Semei fratris ejus, ex imperio Ezechiæ regis et Azariæ pontificis domus Dei, ad quos omnia pertinebant.

14But Core the son of Jemna the Levite, the porter of the east gate, was overseer of the things which were freely offered to the Lord, and of the firstfruits and the things dedicated for the holy of holies.E Core figliuolo di Jemma Levita e portinaio della porta orientale avea la custodia di quelle cose, che si offerivan spontaneamente al Signore, e delle primizie, e delle cose offerte pel Santo de' Santi.But Core the sonne of Iemna a Leuite, and porter of the east gate, was ouerseer of those thinges, which were voluntarily offered to our Lord, and of the first fruites and the thinges consecrated for Sancta sanctorum.Core vero filius Jemna Levites, et janitor orientalis portæ, præpositus erat iis quæ sponte offerebantur Domino, primitiisque et consecratis in Sancta sanctorum. 15And under his charge were Eden, and Benjamin, Jesue, and Semeias, and Amarias, and Sechenias, in the cities of the priests, to distribute faithfully portions to their brethren, both little and great:E sotto di lui erano Eden, e Beniamin, Jesue, e Semeia, e Amaria, e Sechenia nelle città sacerdotali per distribuire fedelmente le porzioni loro ai fratelli minori, e maggiori:And vnder his charge Eden, and Beniamin, Iesue, and Semeias, Amarias also, and Sechenias, in the cities of the Priestes, that they should faithfully distribute to their brethren portions, to the lesser and greater:Et sub cura ejus Eden, et Benjamin, Jesue, et Semeias, Amarias quoque, et Sechenias in civitatibus sacerdotum, ut fideliter distribuerent fratribus suis partes, minoribus atque majoribus: 16Besides the males from three years old and upward, to all that went into the temple of the Lord, and whatsoever there was need of in the ministry, and their offices according to their courses, day by day.E (oltre i maschi dai tre anni insù) a tutti quelli, che avean ingresso nel tempio del Signore, e tutto quello, che conveniva per ogni giorno ai diversi ministeri, e ufficj secondo le loro distribuzioni.sauing the men children from three yeares and aboue, to al that entered into the temple of our Lord, and whatsoeuer day by day was profitable in the ministerie, and the obseruances according to their diuisions,exceptis maribus ab annis tribus et supra, cunctis qui ingrediebantur templum Domini, et quidquid per singulos dies conducebat in ministerio, atque observationibus juxta divisiones suas, 17To the priests by their families, and to the Levites from the twentieth year and upward, by their classes and companies.Ai sacerdoti secondo le loro famiglie, e ai Leviti dai venti anni in su secondo la divisione delle schiere, e ordini di essi;to the Priestes by families, and to the Leuites from the twentith yeare and vpward, by the orders and companies,sacerdotibus per familias, et Levitis a vigesimo anno et supra, per ordines et turmas suas,

18And to all the multitude, both to their wives, and to their children of both sexes, victuals were given faithfully out of the things that had been sanctified.A tutta la moltitudine, e alle mogli loro, e ai figliuoli dell'uno, e dell'altro sesso si dava fedelmente da mangiare di quello, che veniva offerto.and to al the multitude, as wel their wiues, as their children of both sex, mea•es were geuen faithfully of these thinges, that had bene sanctified.universæque multitudini tam uxoribus quam liberis eorum utriusque sexus, fideliter cibi de his quæ sanctificata fuerant, præbebantur. 19Also of the sons of Aaron who were in the fields and in the suburbs of each city, there were men appointed, to distribute portions to all the males, among the priests and the Levites.E vi erano de' figliuoli d'Aarone nelle campagne, e ne' sobborghi di ciascheduna città deputati a distribuire le porzioni a tutti i maschi della stirpe de'sacerdoti, e de' Leviti.Yea and of the children of Aaron by the fildes and the suburbes of euerie citie, there were men ordayned, that should distribute portions, to al the male sexe, of the Priestes and the Leuites.Sed et filiorum Aaron per agros, et suburbana urbium singularum, dispositi erant viri, qui partes distribuerent universo sexui masculino de sacerdotibus et Levitis. 20So Ezechias did all things which we have said in all Juda, and wrought that which was good, and right, and truth, before the Lord his God,Ezechia adunque fece tutto quello, che abbiam detto, in tutto il paese di Giuda: e fece quel, che era ben fatto, e retto, e giusto dinanzi al Signore Dio suo,Ezechias therfore did al thinges which we haue sayd in al Iuda: and wrought good and right, and truth before our Lord his God,Fecit ergo Ezechias universa quæ diximus in omni Juda: operatusque est bonum et rectum, et verum coram Domino Deo suo, 21In all the service of the ministry of the house of the Lord according to the law and the ceremonies, desiring to seek his God with all his heart, and he did it and prospered.In tutto quello, che esigeva il ministero della casa del Signore, secondo la legge, e le cerimonie, bramoso di cercare con tutto il cuor suo il suo Dio: ed ei lo fece, e fu prosperato.in al the seruice of the ministerie of the house of our Lord, according to the law and the ceremonies, willing to seeke his God in al his hart, and he did it and prospered.in universa cultura ministerii domus Domini, juxta legem et cæremonias, volens requirere Deum suum in toto corde suo: fecitque, et prosperatus est.
