2 Ljetopisa 31
1 Kad se sve to svršilo, svi Izraelovi sinovi koji su se našli ondje zađoše po judejskim gradovima te su razbijali stupove, sjekli ašere i obarali uzvišice i žrtvenike po svem Judinu, Benjaminovu, Efrajimovu i Manašeovu plemenu dokle god nisu završili. Onda se svi Izraelovi sinovi vratiše svaki na svoj posjed, u svoje gradove.
Now when all this was finished, all Israel that were present went out to the cities of Judah, and brake the images in pieces, and cut down the groves, and threw down the high places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim also and Manasseh, until they had utterly destroyed them all. Then all the children of Israel returned, every man to his possession, into their own cities.
2 Ezekija je opet uredio svećeničke i levitske redove po njihovim redovima, svakoga prema njegovoj službi, svećenike i levite, za paljenice i za pričesnice, da služe, slave i hvale Boga na vratima Jahvina tabora.
And Hezekiah appointed the courses of the priests and the Levites after their courses, every man according to his service, the priests and Levites for burnt offerings and for peace offerings, to minister, and to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the tents of the LORD.
3 Odredio je kraljevski doprinos od svoga imanja za paljenice, za paljenice jutarnje i večernje i za paljenice što se prinose subotom, za mlađaka i na blagdane, kako je napisano u Zakonu Jahvinu.
[He appointed] also the king’s portion of his substance for the burnt offerings, [to wit], for the morning and evening burnt offerings, and the burnt offerings for the sabbaths, and for the new moons, and for the set feasts, as [it is] written in the law of the LORD.
4 Zapovjedio je narodu, jeruzalemskim stanovnicima, da daju dio svećenicima i levitima da se utvrde u Zakonu Jahvinu.
Moreover 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 the LORD.
5 Kad se to razglasilo, počeli su Izraelovi sinovi donositi najboljega žita, novog vina, ulja i meda i svakojaka poljskog priroda i donosili su obilne desetine od svega.
And as soon as the commandment came abroad, the children of Israel brought in abundance the firstfruits of corn, wine, and oil, and honey, and of all the increase of the field; and the tithe of all [things] brought they in abundantly.
6 Izraelovi i Judini sinovi, koji su živjeli u judejskim gradovima, također su donosili desetinu od goveda i sitne stoke i desetinu od svetih stvari posvećenih Jahvi, njihovu Bogu; donosili su i davali sve hrpu na hrpu.
And [concerning] 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 consecrated unto the LORD their God, and laid [them] by heaps.
7 Trećega su mjeseca počeli slagati u hrpe, a sedmoga su mjeseca završili.
In the third month they began to lay the foundation of the heaps, and finished [them] in the seventh month.
8 Onda je došao Ezekija s knezovima i, ugledavši hrpe, blagosloviše Jahvu i njegov izraelski narod.
And when Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed the LORD, and his people Israel.
9 Potom se Ezekija propitao kod svećenika i levita za hrpe.
Then Hezekiah questioned with the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps.
10 Odgovarajući, svećenički poglavar Azarja, od Sadokova doma, reče: “Otkako su počeli donositi ove prinose u Dom Jahvin, jedemo i siti smo, a mnogo i pretječe, jer je Jahve blagoslovio svoj narod te je preteklo ovo mnoštvo.”
And Azariah the chief priest of the house of Zadok answered him, and said, Since [the people] began to bring the offerings into the house of the LORD, we have had enough to eat, and have left plenty: for the LORD hath blessed his people; and that which is left [is] this great store.
11 Tada Ezekija zapovjedi da se urede sobe u Jahvinu Domu; kad su ih spremili,
Then Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the house of the LORD; and they prepared [them],
12 počeli su onamo unositi prinose, desetine i svetinje; nad tim je bio predstojnik levit Konanija i brat mu Šimej, drugi do njega.
And brought in the offerings and the tithes and the dedicated [things] faithfully: over which Cononiah the Levite [was] ruler, and Shimei his brother [was] the next.
13 A Jehiel, Azazja, Nahat, Asahel, Jerimot, Jozabad, Eliel, Jismakja, Mahat i Benaja biše postavljeni kao nadglednici uz Konaniju i brata mu Šimeja, po nalogu kralja Ezekije i Azarje, predstojnika u Božjem Domu.
And Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath, and Asahel, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Ismachiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah, [were] overseers under the hand of Cononiah and Shimei his brother, at the commandment of Hezekiah the king, and Azariah the ruler of the house of God.
14 Kore, sin levita Jimne, vratar Istočnih vrata, bio je nad dragovoljnim Božjim prinosima da bi prinosio Jahvine podizanice i svetinje nad svetinjama.
And Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the porter toward the east, [was] over the freewill offerings of God, to distribute the oblations of the LORD, and the most holy things.
15 Pod njim su bili Eden, Minjamin, Ješua, Šemaja, Amarja i Šekanija po svećeničkim gradovima da savjesno dijele svojoj braći po njihovim redovima, kako velikome tako i malome -
And next him [were] Eden, and Miniamin, and Jeshua, and Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, in [their] set office, to give to their brethren by courses, as well to the great as to the small:
16 osim muškaraca starijih od trideset godina popisanih u rodovnicima - svima koji su dolazili u Dom Jahvin na svoj svakidašnji posao da obave obredne dužnosti po svojim redovima.
Beside their genealogy of males, from three years old and upward, [even] unto every one that entereth into the house of the LORD, his daily portion for their service in their charges according to their courses;
17 U rodovnike su bili popisani svećenici po obiteljima i leviti od dvadeset godina naviše po svojim službama, po svojim redovima.
Both to the genealogy of the priests by the house of their fathers, and the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in their charges by their courses;
18 U rodovnike bijahu popisana sva njihova djeca, njihove žene, njihovi sinovi i njihove kćeri, za svekoliki zbor, jer su se iskreno posvetili svetinjama.
And to the genealogy of all their little ones, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, through all the congregation: for in their set office they sanctified themselves in holiness:
19 Aronovi sinovi, svećenici na poljskim pašnjacima svojih gradova, u svakom pojedinom gradu, bijahu poimence određeni da daju dio svakome muškarcu među svećenicima. Sve su rodovnike sastavili leviti.
Also of the sons of Aaron the priests, [which were] in the fields of the suburbs of their cities, in every several city, the men that were expressed by name, to give portions to all the males among the priests, and to all that were reckoned by genealogies among the Levites.
20 Ezekija je uradio tako po svoj Judeji čineći što je dobro, pravo i vjerno pred Jahvom, svojim Bogom.
And thus did Hezekiah throughout all Judah, and wrought [that which was] good and right and truth before the LORD his God.
21 U svakom poslu koji je počeo za službu Božjega Doma, i u zakonu i u zapovijedi tražeći Boga, trudio se svim svojim srcem i uspijevao.
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 did [it] with all his heart, and prospered.
