< 2 Chronicles 31 >
1 When all this had ended, the Israelites in attendance went out to the cities of Judah and broke up the sacred pillars, chopped down the Asherah poles, and tore down the high places and altars throughout Judah and Benjamin, as well as in Ephraim and Manasseh, until they had utterly destroyed them all. Then all the Israelites returned to their cities, each to his own property.
A kad se sve ovo svrši, svi sinovi Izrailjevi što se naðoše ondje, zaðoše po gradovima Judinijem, i izlomiše likove i isjekoše lugove, i oboriše visine i oltare po svoj zemlji Judinoj i Venijaminovoj i po zemlji Jefremovoj i Manasijinoj, dokle sve ne svršiše; potom se vratiše svi sinovi Izrailjevi svak na svoje našljedstvo, u svoje gradove.
2 Hezekiah reestablished the divisions of the priests and Levites—each of them according to their duties as priests or Levites—for the burnt offerings and peace offerings, for ministry, for giving thanks, and for singing praises at the gates of the LORD’s dwelling.
A Jezekija opet uredi redove sveštenièke i Levitske po redovima njihovijem, svakoga po službi njegovoj, sveštenike i Levite, za žrtve paljenice i zahvalne, da služe, i da slave i hvale Gospoda na vratima okola njegova.
3 The king contributed from his own possessions for the regular morning and evening burnt offerings and for the burnt offerings on the Sabbaths, New Moons, and appointed feasts, as written in the Law of the LORD.
I odredi dio carski od blaga svojega za žrtve paljenice, što se prinose jutrom i veèerom i za žrtve paljenice što se prinose u subote i na mladine i na praznike, kako je napisano u zakonu Gospodnjem.
4 Moreover, he commanded the people living in Jerusalem to make a contribution for the priests and Levites so that they could devote themselves to the Law of the LORD.
I zapovjedi narodu, Jerusalimljanima, da daju dio sveštenicima i Levitima, da se jaèe drže zakona Gospodnjega.
5 As soon as the order went out, the Israelites generously provided the firstfruits of the grain, new wine, oil, and honey, and of all the produce of the field, and they brought in an abundance—a tithe of everything.
A èim se to razglasi, stadoše donositi sinovi Izrailjevi silu prvina od žita i od vina i od ulja i od meda i svakoga roda zemaljskoga; i desetka od svega donosiše vrlo mnogo.
6 And the Israelites and Judahites who lived in the cities of Judah also brought a tithe of their herds and flocks and a tithe of the holy things consecrated to the LORD their God, and they laid them in large heaps.
I sinovi Izrailjevi i Judini koji življahu po gradovima Judinijem, donosiše i oni desetak od goveda i ovaca, i desetak od svetijeh stvari posveæenijeh Gospodu Bogu njihovu, i metaše u gomile.
7 In the third month they began building up the heaps, and they finished in the seventh month.
Treæega mjeseca poèeše metati u gomile, a sedmoga mjeseca svršiše.
8 When Hezekiah and his officials came and viewed the heaps, they blessed the LORD and His people Israel.
I doðe Jezekija s knezovima, i vidjevši gomile blagosloviše Gospoda i narod njegov Izrailja.
9 Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and Levites about the heaps,
I Jezekija zapita sveštenike i Levite za gomile.
10 and Azariah, the chief priest of the household of Zadok, answered him, “Since the people began to bring their contributions into the house of the LORD, we have had enough to eat and there is plenty left over, because the LORD has blessed His people; this great abundance is what is left over.”
A Azarija poglavar sveštenièki od doma Sadokova reèe mu: otkad poèeše donositi ove priloge u dom Gospodnji, jedemo i siti smo i pretjeèe mnogo, jer je Gospod blagoslovio svoj narod, te je preteklo ovo mnoštvo.
11 Then Hezekiah commanded them to prepare storerooms in the house of the LORD, and they did so.
Tada zapovjedi Jezekija da se naèine klijeti u domu Gospodnjem; i naèiniše;
12 And they faithfully brought in the contributions, tithes, and dedicated gifts. Conaniah the Levite was the officer in charge of them, and his brother Shimei was second.
I ondje ostavljahu vjerno priloge i desetke i stvari posveæene; i nad tijem bješe poglavar Honanija Levit i Simej brat mu, drugi do njega.
13 Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismachiah, Mahath, and Benaiah were overseers under the authority of Conaniah and his brother Shimei, by appointment of King Hezekiah and of Azariah the chief official of the house of God.
A Jehilo i Azazija i Nahat i Asailo i Jerimot i Jozavad i Elilo i Ismahija i Mat i Venaja bijahu nastojnici pod rukom Honanije i brata mu Simeja po naredbi cara Jezekije i Azarije starješine u domu Božijem.
14 Kore son of Imnah the Levite, the keeper of the East Gate, was in charge of the freewill offerings given to God, distributing the contributions to the LORD and the consecrated gifts.
A Korej sin Jemne Levita, vratar na istoku, bijaše nad onijem što se dragovoljno prinošaše Bogu, da bi razdjeljivao prinos Gospodnji i stvari svete nad svetijem.
15 Under his authority, Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah faithfully distributed portions to their fellow priests in their cities, according to their divisions, old and young alike.
A pod njim bješe Eden i Minijamin i Isus i Semaja i Amarija i Sehanija po gradovima sveštenièkim, ljudi pouzdani, da razdaju braæi svojoj dijelove, velikomu i malomu,
16 In addition, they distributed portions to the males registered by genealogy who were three years of age or older—to all who would enter the house of the LORD for their daily duties for service in the responsibilities of their divisions—
Osim muškinja u rodu njihovu od tri godine i više, svakomu koji ulažaše u dom Gospodnji na posao svakidašnji po dužnosti njihovoj u službi njihovoj po redu njihovu,
17 and to the priests enrolled according to their families in the genealogy, as well as to the Levites twenty years of age or older, according to their duties and divisions.
I onima koji biše izbrojeni u rodu sveštenièkom po domovima otaca njihovijeh, i Levitima od dvadeset godina i više po službi njihovoj po redovima njihovijem,
18 The genealogy included all the little ones, wives, sons, and daughters in the whole assembly. For they had faithfully consecrated themselves as holy.
I porodici njihovoj, svoj djeci njihovoj, ženama njihovijem, sinovima njihovijem i kæerima njihovijem, svemu mnoštvu; jer se vjerno posvetiše svetinji;
19 As for the priests, the descendants of Aaron, who lived on the farmlands around each of their cities or in any other city, men were designated by name to distribute a portion to every male among the priests and to every Levite listed by the genealogies.
I sinovima Aronovijem sveštenicima u podgraðima gradova njihovijeh, po svijem gradovima, ljudi imenovani davahu dijelove svakome muškarcu izmeðu sveštenika i svakomu roda Levitskoga.
20 So this is what Hezekiah did throughout Judah. He did what was good and upright and true before the LORD his God.
I tako uèini Jezekija u svoj zemlji Judinoj; i èinjaše što je dobro i pravo i istinito pred Gospodom Bogom njegovijem.
21 He was diligent in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, and in the law and the commandments, in order to seek his God. And so he prospered.
I u svakom poslu koji poèe za službu doma Božijega i u zakonu i u zapovijesti tražeæi Boga svojega, truðaše se svijem srcem svojim, i sreæan bijaše.
