歷代志下 29
1 [希則克雅登極]希則克雅登極時年二十五歲，在耶路撒冷作王凡二十九年；他的母親名叫阿彼雅，是則加黎雅的女兒。
Hezekiah he became king a son of twenty and five year[s] and twenty and nine year[s] he reigned in Jerusalem and [the] name of mother his [was] Abijah [the] daughter of Zechariah.
2 希則克雅行了上主視為正義的事，完全像他的祖先達味所行的一樣。[清除聖殿]
And he did the right in [the] eyes of Yahweh according to all that he had done David ancestor his.
3 他作王元年正月，開了上主殿宇的門，再加以修理；
He in the year first of reigning his in the month first he opened [the] doors of [the] house of Yahweh and he repaired them.
4 召司祭和肋未人來，聚集在東面廣場上，
And he brought the priests and the Levites and he gathered them to [the] open place of the east.
5 對他們說：「肋未人，請聽我的話! 現在你們應自潔，好清除上主你們祖先的天主的殿宇，將聖所內的污穢之物除去。
And he said to them listen to me O Levites now consecrate yourselves and consecrate [the] house of Yahweh [the] God of ancestors your and bring out the impurity from the holy place.
6 因為我們的祖先犯了罪，行了上主我們的天主視為不悅的事，離棄了他，並轉臉不顧上主的居所，所以背相向；
For they acted unfaithfully fathers our and they did the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh God our and they forsook him and they turned faces their away from [the] tabernacle of Yahweh and they gave a back.
7 又封閉了廊門，熄滅了燈，未在聖所內給以色列的天主焚香，獻全燔祭。
Also they shut [the] doors of the porch and they extinguished the lamps and incense not they made smoke and burnt offering[s] not they offered up in the holy place to [the] God of Israel.
8 因此，上主的盛怒降於猶大和耶路撒冷，使之成為恐懼、驚駭、恥笑的對象，正如你們親眼所見的。
And it was [the] wrath of Yahweh towards Judah and Jerusalem and he has made them (into a terror *Q(K)*) into a horror and into a hissing just as you [are] seeing with own eyes your.
9 並且我們的祖先因此死於刀下，我們的妻子兒女作了俘虜。
And there! they have fallen fathers our by the sword and sons our and daughters our and wives our [are] in captivity on this.
10 現在，我有意與上主以色列的天主立約，使他的烈怒轉離我們。
Now [is] with heart my to make a covenant to Yahweh [the] God of Israel and it may turn back from us [the] burning of anger his.
11 我的孩子們! 現在不要再怠慢，因為上主揀選了你們侍立在他面前，為奉事他，向他焚香。」
O sons my now may not you be negligent for you he has chosen Yahweh to stand before him to serve him and to be of him servants and makers of smoke.
12 於是肋未人起來：刻哈特族中有阿瑪賽的兒子瑪哈特和阿匝黎雅的兒子約厄耳；默辣黎族中有阿貝狄的兒子克士和雅肋肋耳的兒子阿匝黎雅；革爾雄族中有齊瑪的兒子約阿黑和約阿黑的兒子厄登；
And they arose the Levites Mahath [the] son of Amasai and Joel [the] son of Azariah of [the] descendants of the Kohathite[s] and of [the] descendants of Merari Kish [the] son of Abdi and Azariah [the] son of Jehallelel and of the Gershonite[s] Joah [the] son of Zimmah and Eden [the] son of Joah.
13 厄里匝番的子孫中有史默黎和耶烏耳；阿撒夫子孫中有則加黎雅和瑪塔尼雅；
And of [the] descendants of Elizaphan Shimri (and Jeiel *Q(K)*) and of [the] descendants of Asaph Zechariah and Mattaniah.
14 赫曼子孫中有耶希耳和史米；耶杜通子孫中有舍瑪雅和烏齊耳，
And of [the] descendants of Heman (Jehiel *Q(K)*) and Shimei. And of [the] descendants of Jeduthun Shemaiah and Uzziel.
15 他們集合自己的弟兄，先行自潔，後照君王的吩咐，根據上主的命令，來清除上主的殿。
And they gathered relatives their and they consecrated themselves and they went according to [the] command of the king by [the] words of Yahweh to cleanse [the] house of Yahweh.
16 司祭進入上主的殿宇裏面去清除，將上主殿內所有的污穢之物，移到上主殿宇的院內；肋未人接過來，運到城外的克德龍溪。
And they went the priests to within [the] house of Yahweh to cleanse [it] and they brought out all the uncleanness which they found in [the] temple of Yahweh to [the] court of [the] house of Yahweh and they received [it] the Levites to bring [it] out to [the] wadi of Kidron [the] outside towards.
17 他們在正月一日開始清除，第八天清除到上主的殿。正月十六日清除完畢。
And they began on [day] one of the month first to consecrate and on day eight of the month they came to [the] porch of Yahweh and they consecrated [the] house of Yahweh for days eight and on day six-teen of the month first they finished.
18 於是他們去見希則克雅說：「我們已經將上主的殿宇、全燔祭壇、以及壇上所有的器具、供餅桌、以及桌上所有的用具，全部清潔了；
And they went within to Hezekiah the king and they said we have cleansed all [the] house of Yahweh [the] altar of the burnt offering and all utensils its and [the] table of the row and all utensils its.
19 並且連阿哈次王在位犯罪時，所丟棄的器具，我們都整理好，也都清潔了；現在都放在上主祭壇前面。」[獻祭贖罪]
And all the utensils which he had rejected the king Ahaz in reign his in unfaithfulness his we have prepared and we have consecrated and there they [are] before [the] altar of Yahweh.
20 希則克雅清晨起來，召集城內的首領，上到上主殿內。
And he rose early Hezekiah the king and he gathered [the] officials of the city and he went up [the] house of Yahweh.
21 人們帶來了七隻牛犢，七隻公綿羊和七隻羔羊；此外，還有七隻公山羊，為國家，為聖殿，為猶大作為贖罪祭；王遂吩咐亞郎的子孫司祭奉獻在上主的祭壇上。
And they brought young bulls seven and rams seven and lambs seven and he-goats of goats seven to a sin offering on the kingdom and on the sanctuary and on Judah and he said to [the] descendants of Aaron the priests to offer up on [the] altar of Yahweh.
22 祭殺了牛犢，司祭將血取來，灑在祭壇上；祭殺了綿羊，將血灑在祭壇上；祭殺了羔羊，也將血灑在祭壇上。
And they slaughtered the cattle and they took the priests the blood and they sprinkled [it] the altar towards and they slaughtered the rams and they sprinkled the blood the altar towards and they slaughtered the lambs and they sprinkled the blood the altar towards.
23 最後，將獻作贖罪祭的公山羊，牽到君王和會眾面前，他們將手按在公山羊身上，
And they brought near [the] goats of the sin offering before the king and the assembly and they laid hands their on them.
24 司祭宰殺了，將血獻在祭壇上，作為贖罪祭，為以色列民眾贖罪，因為君王曾吩咐過：全燔祭和贖罪祭，應為以色列民眾奉獻。
And they slaughtered them the priests and they made a sin offering blood their the altar towards to make atonement on all Israel for for all Israel he had said the king the burnt offering and the sin offering.
25 王又派定肋未人用鈸、瑟和琴，在上主殿內奏樂，有如達味、王的先見者加得和先知納堂所吩咐的，亦即上主藉先知所吩咐的。
And he stationed the Levites [the] house of Yahweh with cymbals with lyres and with harps by [the] command of David and Gad [the] seer of the king and Nathan the prophet for [was] by [the] hand of Yahweh the commandment by [the] hand of prophets his.
26 於是肋未人拿著達味的樂器，司祭拿著號筒，一起站著。
And they stood the Levites with [the] instruments of David and the priests with trumpets.
27 希則克雅遂下令在祭壇上奉獻全燔祭。全燔祭開始時，頌揚上主的歌聲和號聲，也在以色列王達味的樂器伴奏下，隨之開始。
And he said Hezekiah to offer up the burnt offering to the altar and at [the] time [when] it began the burnt offering it began [the] song of Yahweh and the trumpets and on [the] hands of [the] instruments of David [the] king of Israel.
28 同時全會眾跪拜，唱歌的唱歌，吹號的吹號，這樣直到全燔祭獻完為止。
And all the assembly [were] bowing down and the song [was] singing and the trumpets ([were] blowing a trumpet *Q(k)*) everything until was complete the burnt offering.
29 獻完了祭，君王和所有同他自場的人，都屈膝跪拜。
And just as finished to offer up they bowed down the king and all those [who] were found with him and they bowed down.
30 此後，希則克雅王和眾首領，又吩咐肋未人用達味和先見者阿撒夫的詩詞，讚頌上主。他們便歡樂地讚頌了上主，隨即俯首朝拜。
And he said Hezekiah the king and the officials to the Levites to praise Yahweh with [the] words of David and Asaph the seer and they praised to to joy and they bowed low and they bowed down.
31 希則克雅又吩咐說：「你們既然奉獻了自己與上主，請近前來，將感恩祭祭物，送入上主殿內。」會眾便將感恩祭祭物，以及甘心獻的全燔祭獻上。
And he answered Hezekiah and he said now you have filled hand your to Yahweh draw near and bring sacrifices and thank-offerings to [the] house of Yahweh and they brought the assembly sacrifices and thank-offerings and every [person] willing of heart burnt offerings.
32 會眾所獻的全燔祭犧牲總數為：牛犢七十隻，公山羊一百隻，羔羊二百隻，全獻給上主作全燔祭。
And it was [the] number of the burnt offering[s] which they brought the assembly cattle seventy rams one hundred lambs two hundred [were] for a burnt offering to Yahweh all these.
33 還有祝聖的牲畜：牛犢六百隻，羊三千隻。
And the holy offerings [were] cattle six hundred and sheep three thousand.
34 由於司祭太少，不能剝盡全燔祭犧牲的皮，所以他們的弟兄肋未人前來協助，直到工作作完，直到司祭自潔完畢，因為肋未人自潔的誠心勝過司祭。
Only the priests they were to fewness and not they were able to skin all the burnt offerings and they helped them relatives their the Levites until was complete the work and until they had consecrated themselves the priests for the Levites [were] upright of heart to consecrate themselves more than the priests.
35 此外，還有許多全燔祭、和平祭、脂油，及與全燔祭同奠的酒，等待處理。這樣，上主殿內的禮儀就全恢復了。
And also burnt offering[s] to abundance with [the] fat of the peace offerings and with the drink offerings of the burnt offering and it was arranged [the] service of [the] house of Yahweh.
36 希則克雅和全民眾都很快樂，因為天主為人民準備，使此事迅速完成。
And he rejoiced Hezekiah and all the people on what he had prepared God for the people for in suddenness it had happened the thing.
