1 这事既都完毕,在那里的以色列众人就到犹大的城邑,打碎柱像,砍断木偶,又在犹大、便雅悯、以法莲、玛拿西遍地将邱坛和祭坛拆毁净尽。于是以色列众人各回各城,各归各地。
And when all these things were finished, all Israel that were found in the cities of Juda went out, and broke in pieces the pillars, and cut down the groves, and tore down the high places and the altars out of all Judea and Benjamin, also of Ephraim and Manasse, till they made an end: and all Israel returned, every one to his inheritance, and to their cities.
2 希西家派定祭司利未人的班次,各按各职献燔祭和平安祭,又在耶和华殿门内事奉,称谢颂赞耶和华。
And Ezekias appointed the courses of the priests and the Levites, and the courses of each one according to his ministry, to the priests and to the Levites, for the whole burnt offering, and for the peace-offering, and to praise, and to give thanks, and to minister in the gates, [and] in the courts of the house of the Lord.
3 王又从自己的产业中定出分来为燔祭,就是早晚的燔祭和安息日、月朔,并节期的燔祭,都是按耶和华律法上所载的;
And the king's proportion out of his substance [was appointed] for the whole burnt offerings, the morning and the evening one, and the whole burnt offerings for the sabbaths, and for the new moons, and for the feasts that were ordered in the law of the Lord.
4 又吩咐住耶路撒冷的百姓将祭司、利未人所应得的分给他们,使他们专心遵守耶和华的律法。
And they told the people who lived in Jerusalem, to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might be strong in the ministry of the house of the Lord.
5 谕旨一出,以色列人就把初熟的五谷、新酒、油、蜜,和田地的出产多多送来,又把各物的十分之一送来的极多。
And as he gave the command, Israel brought abundantly first fruits of corn, and wine, and oil, and honey, and every fruit of the field: and the children of Israel and Juda brought tithes of everything abundantly.
6 住犹大各城的以色列人和犹大人也将牛羊的十分之一,并分别为圣归耶和华—他们 神之物,就是十分取一之物,尽都送来,积成堆垒;
And they that lived in the cities of Juda themselves also brought tithes of calves and sheep, and tithes of goats, and consecrated them to the Lord their God, and they brought them and laid them in heaps.
7 从三月积起,到七月才完。
In the third month the heaps began to be piled, and in the seventh month they were finished.
8 希西家和众首领来,看见堆垒,就称颂耶和华,又为耶和华的民以色列人祝福。
And Ezekias and the princes came and saw the heaps, and blessed the Lord, and his people Israel.
9 希西家向祭司、利未人查问这堆垒。
Then Ezekias enquired of the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps.
10 撒督家的大祭司亚撒利雅回答说:“自从民将供物送到耶和华殿以来,我们不但吃饱,且剩下的甚多;因为耶和华赐福给他的民,所剩下的才这样丰盛。”
And Azarias the priest, the chief over the house of Sadoc, spoke to him, and said, From the time that the first fruits began to be brought into the house of the Lord, we have eaten and drunk, and left even abundantly; for the Lord has blessed his people, and we have left to this amount.
11 希西家吩咐在耶和华殿里预备仓房,他们就预备了。
And Ezekias told them yet farther to prepare chambers for the house of the Lord; and they prepared [them],
12 他们诚心将供物和十分取一之物,并分别为圣之物,都搬入仓内。利未人歌楠雅掌管这事,他兄弟示每为副管。
and they brought there the first fruits and the tithes faithfully: and Chonenias the Levite was superintendent over them, and Semei his brother was next.
13 耶歇、亚撒细雅、拿哈、亚撒黑、耶利末、约撒拔、以列、伊斯玛基雅、玛哈、比拿雅都是督理,在歌楠雅和他兄弟示每的手下,是希西家王和管理 神殿的亚撒利雅所派的。
and Jeiel, and Ozias, and Naeth, and Asael, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Samachia, and Maath, and Banaias, and his sons, were appointed by Chonenias and Semei his brother, as Ezekias the king, and Azarias who was over the house of the Lord commanded.
14 守东门的利未人音拿的儿子可利,掌管乐意献与 神的礼物,发放献与耶和华的供物和至圣的物。
And Core, the [son] of Jemna the Levite, the porter eastward, [was] over the gifts, to distribute the first fruits of the Lord, and the most holy things,
15 在他手下有伊甸、珉雅珉、耶书亚、示玛雅、亚玛利雅、示迦尼雅,在祭司的各城里供紧要的职任,无论弟兄大小,都按着班次分给他们。
by the hand of Odom, and Benjamin, and Jesus, and Semei, and Amarias, and Sechonias, by the hand of the priests faithfully, to give to their brethren according to the courses, as well to great as small;
16 按家谱,三岁以外的男丁,凡每日进耶和华殿、按班次供职的,也分给他;
besides the increase of males from three years old and upward, to every one entering into the house of the Lord, [a portion] according to a daily rate, for service in the daily courses of their order.
17 又按宗族家谱分给祭司,按班次职任分给二十岁以外的利未人,
This [is] the distribution of the priests according to the houses of their families; and the Levites in their daily courses from twenty years old and upward [were] in [their] order,
18 又按家谱计算,分给他们会中的妻子、儿女;因他们身供要职,自洁成圣。
to assign stations for all the increase of their sons and their daughters, for the whole number: for they faithfully sanctified the holy place.
19 按名派定的人要把应得的分给亚伦子孙,住在各城郊野、祭司所有的男丁和一切载入家谱的利未人。
As for the sons of Aaron that executed the priests' office, —even those from their cities the men in each several city who were named expressly, —[were appointed] to give a portion to every male amongst the priests, and to every one reckoned amongst the Levites.
20 希西家在犹大遍地这样办理,行耶和华—他 神眼中看为善为正为忠的事。
And Ezekias did so through all Juda, and did that which was good and right before the Lord his God.
21 凡他所行的,无论是办 神殿的事,是遵律法守诫命,是寻求他的 神,都是尽心去行,无不亨通。
And in every work which he began in service in the house of the Lord, and in the law, and in the ordinances, he sought his God with all his soul, and wrought, and prospered.
