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 this was finished, all Israel that were present went out to the cities of Judah, and broke in pieces the statues, and cut down the groves, and pulled down the high-places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, and in Ephraim and Menasseh, until they had made an end of them all. Then returned all the children of Israel every man to his possession, to their own 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 stationed the divisions of the priests and the Levites after their divisions, every man according to his service, of the priests and the Levites, for burnt-offerings and for peace-offerings, to minister, and to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the camps 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；
The king also gave a portion from his own property for the burnt-offerings, [namely, ] for the morning and evening burnt-offerings, and the burnt-offerings for the sabbaths, and for the new-moons, and for the appointed feasts, 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。
Moreover he said to the people, to those who dwelt in Jerusalem, to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, in order that they might hold firmly to 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 matter was spread abroad, the children of Israel brought in abundance the first-fruits of corn, of the new wine, and of oil, and of honey, and of all the products of the field: and the tithe of all things did they bring [likewise] in abundance.
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 as for the children of Israel and Judah, that dwelt in the cities of Judah, they also brought in the tithe of oxen and sheep, and the tithe of holy things which were hallowed unto the Lord their God, and gave [them] by heaps.
7 由三月開始堆積，至七月纔完畢。
In the third month did they begin to lay the foundation of the heaps, and in the seventh month did they finish them.
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 heaps, 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，
Then made Hezekiah inquiry of the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps.
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]
Then spoke to him 'Azaryahu the chief priest of the house of Zadok, and said, Since it was begun to bring the heave-offerings into the house of the Lord, there hath been enough to eat, and to leave in great abundance; for the Lord hath blessed his people: and that which is left is this great mass.
11 希則克雅吩咐在上主殿內預備倉房；人便預備了，
Then ordered Hezekiah 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 they brought in the heave-offerings, and the tithes, and the sanctified things, in faithfulness: and over them were appointed the ruler Conanyahu the Levite, and Shim'i his brother the second in rank.
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 Jechiel, and 'Azazyahu, and Nachath, and 'Assahel, and Jerimoth. and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Yissmachyahu, and Machath, and Benayahu, were overseers under the supervision of Conanyahu and Shim'i his brother, by the appointment of king Hezekiah, and 'Azazyahu the ruler 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 son of Yimnah the Levite, the gatekeeper at the east side. was over the freewill-offerings of God, to give [to him] the heave-offerings of the Lord, and the most holy things.
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 under his supervision were 'Eden, and Minyamin, and Jeshua', and Shema-yahu, Amaryahu, and Shechanyahu, in the cities of the priests, in faithfulness, to give to their brethren after the divisions, equally to the great as to the 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：
Besides [these] to those recorded by their genealogies of males, from three years old and upward, of all that entered into the house of the Lord, the daily portion on its day, for their service in their charges according to their divisions.
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。
And likewise to the priests recorded by their genealogies after their family divisions, and the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in their charges by their divisions;
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 those recorded by their genealogies of all their little ones, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, of all the assembly; for in their faithfulness they devoted themselves in the sanctuary.
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 of the sons of Aaron the priests, who were in the fields of the open districts of their cities, in each and every city, there were men, expressed by name, who had to give portions to all the males among the priests, and to all that were recorded by their genealogies among the Levites.
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 the like did Hezekiah in all Judah, and he did what is good and right and true 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 every work that he began in the service of the house of God, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he acted with all his heart, and prospered.
