歷代志下 31
1 [清除偶像]這一切完成以後，所有在場的以色列人就都出去，到猶大各城，將石柱搗碎，將木偶砍倒，將猶大、本雅明、厄弗辣因和默納協各地的高丘和香壇完全拆除；以後，所有的以色列子民各回了本城，各歸己業。[重整神職班次]
And when all these thinges were finished, all Israel that were found in the cities of Iudah, went out and brake the images, and cut downe the groues, and brake downe the hie places, and the altars thorowout all Iudah and Beniamin, in Ephraim also and Manasseh, vntil they had made an ende: afterwarde all the children of Israel returned euery man to his possession, into their owne cities.
2 希則克雅又整編了司祭和肋未人的班次，使司祭和肋未人各照自己的班次，各照自己的任務，獻權燔祭與和平祭，或服務於上主的螢幕門口，稱謝讚頌上主。
And Hezekiah appoynted the courses of the Priests and Leuites by their turnes, euery man according to his office, both Priestes and Leuites, for the burnt offring and peace offrings, to minister and to giue thankes, and to prayse in the gates of the tentes of the Lord.
3 君王又由自己的產業中劃出一份，作為早晚的全燔祭，安息日、新月和節期的全燔祭，如上主法律上所規定的；
(And the Kings portion was of his owne substance for the burnt offrings, euen for ye burnt offrings of the morning and of the euening, and the burnt offrings for the Sabbaths, and for the new moones, and for the solemne feastes, as it is written in the Law of the Lord)
4 又吩咐住在耶路撒冷的百姓，交出司祭和肋未人所應得的一分，令他們堅守上主的法律。
He commanded also the people that dwelt in Ierusalem, to giue a part to the Priestes, and Leuites, that they might be encouraged in the Law of the Lord.
5 這道諭旨一出，以色列子民便獻了許多初熟的五穀、新酒、蜜，以及田地的出產；同時將所有物的十分之一，也大批的送了來，
And when the commandement was spread, the children of Israel brought abundance of first fruites, of corne, wine, and oyle, and honie, and of all the increase of the fielde, and the tithes of all things brought they abundantly.
6 連住在猶大各城的以色列和猶大子民，也將牛羊的十分之一，並應獻於上主，他們天主的聖物的十分之一，都送了來，堆積成堆；
And the children of Israel and Iudah that dwelt in ye cities of Iudah, they also brought the tithes of bullockes and sheepe, and the holy tithes which were consecrate vnto the Lord their God, and laide them on many heapes.
7 由三月開始堆積，至七月纔完畢。
In the thirde moneth they beganne to lay the foundation of the heapes, and finished them in the seuenth moneth.
8 希則克雅和首領們前來，看見這些堆積之物，便稱讚了上主和他的百姓以色列。
And when Hezekiah and the princes came, and saw the heapes, they blessed the Lord and his people Israel.
9 希則克雅向司祭和肋未人問及這些堆積之物，
And Hezekiah questioned with the Priests and the Leuites concerning the heapes.
10 匝多克家的司祭之長阿匝黎雅答說：「自從人民將供物獻入上主的殿內以來，我們不但可以飽食，而且還有許多剩餘，因為上主祝福了他的百姓；這一大堆全是剩餘的。」[儲藏與分配供物]
And Azariah the chiefe Priest of the house of Zadok answered him, and sayde, Since the people beganne to bring the offrings into the house of the Lord, we haue eaten and haue bene satisfied, and there is left in abundance: for the Lord hath blessed his people, and this abundance that is left.
11 希則克雅吩咐在上主殿內預備倉房；人便預備了，
And Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the house of the Lord: and they prepared them,
12 細心將供物和什一之物，以及奉獻的聖物，都搬入倉內。肋未人苛納尼雅為總管，他的兄弟史米為副。
And caryed in the first fruites, and the tithes, and the dedicate things faithfully: and ouer them was Conaniah the Leuite, the chiefe, and Shimei his brother the seconde.
13 耶希耳、阿匝齊雅、納哈特、阿撒耳、耶黎摩特、約匝巴得，厄里耳、依斯瑪基雅、瑪哈特和貝納雅，自苛納尼和他兄弟史米之下作督察，全是由君王希則克雅和上主殿宇的主席阿匝黎雅所委任的。
And Iehiel, and Azariah, and Nahath, and Asahel, and Ierimoth, and Iozabad, and Eliel, and Ismachiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah were ouerseers by the appointment of Conaniah, and Shimei his brother, and by the commandement of Hezekiah the King, and of Azariah the chiefe of the house of God.
14 守東門的肋未人，依默納的兒子科勒，掌管自願捐獻於天主的禮品，發放獻於上主的供物和至聖之物；
And Kore the sonne of Imnah the Leuite porter towarde the East, was ouer the things that were willingly offred vnto God, to distribute the oblations of the Lord, and the holy things that were consecrate.
15 他以下有厄登、本雅明、耶叔亞、舍瑪雅、阿瑪黎雅和舍加尼雅，在各司祭城內，按照班次，不分老幼，將物品細心分發給他們的弟兄。
And at his hande were Eden, and Miniamin, and Ieshua, and Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shechaniah, in the cities of the Priestes, to distribute with fidelitie to their brethren by courses, both to the great and small,
16 此外，又登記了每日進上主殿，依照班次盡職，三十歲以上的男子：
Their daily portion: beside their generation being males from three yeere olde and aboue, euen to all that entred into the house of the Lord to their office in their charge, according to their courses:
17 司祭依照家族登記；二十歲以上的肋未人，依照職分班次登記。
Both to the generation of the Priestes after the house of their fathers, and to the Leuites from twentie yeere olde and aboue, according to their charge in their courses:
18 登記時，他們全家妻子兒女，都應包括在內，因為他們都應自潔成聖。
And to the generation of all their children, their wiues, and their sonnes and their daughters throughout all ye Congregation: for by their fidelitie are they partakers of the holy things.
19 至於那住在各城郊外作司祭的亞郎子孫，在各城內有指定的人，給司祭中的男子及登記的肋未人，發放應得的一份。
Also to the sonnes of Aaron, the Priestes, which were in the fieldes and suburbes of their cities, in euery citie the men that were appointed by names, shoulde giue portions to all the males of the Priestes, and to all the generation of the Leuites.
20 希則克雅在全猶大行事都是如此：行了上主他的天主視為善，視為正義的事。
And thus did Hezekiah throughout al Iudah, and did well, and vprightly, and truely before the Lord his God.
21 凡他著手所行的，不論是關於上主殿內的敬禮，或關於法律和誡命，都是為了尋求他的天主；凡他誠心所行的，無不順利。
And in all the workes that he began for the seruice of the house of God, both in the Law and in the commandements, to seeke his God, he did it with all his heart, and prospered.
