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 this was finished, all Israel that were present went out to the cities of Judah, and broke the columns, and hewed down the Asherahs, and demolished the high places and the altars in all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim also and Manasseh, until they had destroyed them all. And all the children of Israel returned every man to his possession, into 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 Hezekiah appointed the divisions of the priests, and the Levites after their divisions, every man according to his service, as well the priests as the Levites, for burnt-offerings and for peace-offerings, to serve and to give thanks and to praise in the gates of the courts of Jehovah.
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 [he ordered] that the king's portion [should be taken] from his substance for the burnt-offerings: for the morning and evening burnt-offerings, for the burnt-offerings of the sabbaths, and of the new moons, and of the set feasts, as it is written in the law of Jehovah.
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 he commanded the people that dwelt in Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might be encouraged in the law of Jehovah.
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 soon as the commandment was published, the children of Israel gave in abundance the firstfruits of corn, new wine and oil and honey, and of all the increase of the field; and they brought in abundantly the tithe of all [things].
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 the children of Israel and of Judah, that dwelt in the cities of Judah, they also brought the tithe of oxen and sheep, and the tithe of holy things which were consecrated to Jehovah their God, and laid them by heaps.
7 从三月积起,到七月才完。
In the third month they began to lay the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month.
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 Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, and they blessed Jehovah, and his people Israel.
9 希西家向祭司、利未人查问这堆垒。
And Hezekiah questioned 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 Azariah the chief priest of the house of Zadok spoke to him and said, Since they began to bring the heave-offerings into the house of Jehovah, we have eaten and been satisfied and have left plenty; for Jehovah has blessed his people; and what is left is this great store.
11 希西家吩咐在耶和华殿里预备仓房,他们就预备了。
And Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the house of Jehovah; 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 brought in the heave-offerings and the tithes and the dedicated things faithfully; and over these Cononiah the Levite was ruler, and Shimei his brother was second.
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 Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath, and Asahel, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Jismachiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah were overseers under the hand of Cononiah and Shimei his brother, at the command of Hezekiah the king and Azariah the ruler of the house of God.
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 Kore the son of Jimnah the Levite, the doorkeeper toward the east, was over the voluntary-offerings of God, to distribute the heave-offerings of Jehovah, 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。
And under him were Eden and Miniamin and Jeshua and Shemaiah, Amariah and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, in [their] set trust, to make distributions to their brethren by [their] divisions, to the great as to the 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 those from three years old and upward who as males were entered in the genealogical register, — all that came into the house of Jehovah, as the duty of every day required, for their service in their charges, according to their divisions,
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,
— both to the priests enregistered according to their fathers' houses, and to the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in their charges, by their divisions;
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。
and to all their little ones, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, the whole congregation of those entered in the register; for in their trust they hallowed themselves to be holy.
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。
And for the sons of Aaron the priests who were in the country, in the suburbs of their cities, there were, in every several city, men expressed by name, to give portions to all the males among the priests, and to all the Levites that were entered in the register.
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 thus did Hezekiah throughout Judah, and wrought what was good and right and true before Jehovah 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 that he undertook in the service of the house of God, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart and prospered.
