2 Chronicles 31
1 Now when all this was over, all the men of Israel who were present went out into the towns of Judah, causing the stone pillars to be broken up and the wood pillars to be cut down, pulling down the high places and the altars in all Judah and Benjamin, as well as in Ephraim and Manasseh, till all were gone. Then all the children of Israel went back to their towns, every man to his property.
HECHAS todas estas cosas, todos los de Israel que se habían hallado allí, salieron por las ciudades de Judá, y quebraron las estatuas y destruyeron los bosques, y derribaron los altos y los altares por todo Judá y Benjamín, y también en Ephraim y Manasés, hasta acabarlo todo. Después volviéronse todos los hijos de Israel, cada uno á su posesión y á sus ciudades.
2 Then Hezekiah put in order the divisions of the priests and Levites, every man in his division, in relation to his work, for the burned offerings and peace-offerings, and for the ordering of worship and for giving praise at the doors of the Lord's house.
Y arregló Ezechîas los repartimientos de los sacerdotes y de los Levitas conforme á sus órdenes, cada uno según su oficio, los sacerdotes y los Levitas para el holocausto y pacíficos, para que ministrasen, para que confesasen y alabasen á las puertas de los reales de Jehová.
3 And he gave the king's part of his private property for the burned offerings, that is, for the morning and evening offerings, and the offerings for the Sabbath and the new moons and the regular feasts, as it is recorded in the law of the Lord.
La contribución del rey de su hacienda, [era] holocaustos á mañana y tarde, y holocaustos para los sábados, nuevas lunas, y solemnidades, como está escrito en la ley de Jehová.
4 In addition, he gave orders to the people of Jerusalem to give to the priests and Levites that part which was theirs by right, so that they might be strong in keeping the law of the Lord.
Mandó también al pueblo que habitaba en Jerusalem, que diesen la porción á los sacerdotes y Levitas, para que se esforzasen en la ley de Jehová.
5 And when the order was made public, straight away the children of Israel gave, in great amounts, the first-fruits of their grain and wine and oil and honey, and of the produce of their fields; and they took in a tenth part of everything, a great store.
Y como este edicto fué divulgado, los hijos de Israel dieron muchas primicias de grano, vino, aceite, miel, y de todos los frutos de la tierra: trajeron asimismo los diezmos de todas las cosas en abundancia.
6 And the children of Israel and Judah, who were living in the towns of Judah came with the tenth part of their oxen and sheep, and a tenth of all the holy things which were to be given to the Lord their God, and put them in great masses.
También los hijos de Israel y de Judá, que habitaban en las ciudades de Judá, dieron del mismo modo los diezmos de las vacas y de las ovejas: y trajeron los diezmos de lo santificado, de las cosas que habían prometido á Jehová su Dios, y pusiéronlos por montones.
7 The first store of things was put down in the third month, and in the seventh month the masses were complete.
En el mes tercero comenzaron á fundar aquellos montones, y en el mes séptimo acabaron.
8 And when Hezekiah and the rulers came and saw all the store of goods, they gave praise to the Lord and to his people Israel.
Y Ezechîas y los príncipes vinieron á ver los montones, y bendijeron á Jehová, y á su pueblo Israel.
9 Then Hezekiah put questions to the priests and Levites about the store of goods.
Y preguntó Ezechîas á los sacerdotes y á los Levitas acerca de los montones.
10 And Azariah, the chief priest, of the family of Zadok, said in answer, From the time when the people first came with their offerings into the house of the Lord, we have had food enough, and more than enough: for the blessing of the Lord is on his people; and there is this great store which has not been used.
Y respondióle Azarías, sumo sacerdote, de la casa de Sadoc, y dijo: Desde que comenzaron á traer la ofrenda á la casa de Jehová, hemos comido y saciádonos, y nos ha sobrado mucho: porque Jehová ha bendecido su pueblo, y ha quedado esta muchedumbre.
11 Then Hezekiah said that store-rooms were to be made ready in the house of the Lord; and this was done.
Entonces mandó Ezechîas que preparasen cámaras en la casa de Jehová; y preparáronlas.
12 And in them they put all the offerings and the tenths and the holy things, keeping nothing back, and over them was Conaniah the Levite, with Shimei his brother second to him.
Y metieron las primicias y diezmos y las cosas consagradas, fielmente; y dieron cargo de ello á Chônanías Levita, el principal, y Simi su hermano fué el segundo.
13 And Jehiel and Azaziah and Nahath and Asahel and Jerimoth and Jozabad and Eliel and Ismachiah and Mahath and Benaiah were overseers, under the directions of Conaniah and Shimei his brother, by the order of Hezekiah the king and Azariah, the ruler of the house of God.
Y Jehiel, Azazías, Nahath, Asael, Jerimoth, Josabad, Eliel, Ismachîas, Mahaath, y Benaías, fueron sobrestantes bajo la mano de Chônanías y de Simi su hermano, por mandamiento del rey Ezechîas y de Azarías, príncipe de la casa de Dios.
14 And Kore, the son of Imnah the Levite, the keeper of the east door, had control of the offerings freely given to God, and the distribution of the offerings of the Lord and the most holy things.
Y Coré hijo de Imna Levita, portero al oriente, tenía cargo de las limosnas de Dios, y de las ofrendas de Jehová que se daban, y de todo lo que se santificaba.
15 And under him were Eden and Miniamin and Jeshua and Shemaiah and Amariah and Shecaniah, in the towns of the priests, who were made responsible for giving it to all their brothers, by divisions, to small and great:
Y á su mano estaba Edén, Benjamín, Jeshua, Semaías, Amarías, y Sechânías, en las ciudades de los sacerdotes, para dar con fidelidad á sus hermanos [sus partes] conforme á sus órdenes, así al mayor como al menor:
16 As well as to all the males, of three years old and over, listed by their families, who went into the house of the Lord to do what was needed day by day, for their special work with their divisions.
A más de los varones anotados por sus linajes, de tres años arriba, á todos los que entraban en la casa de Jehová, su porción diaria por su ministerio, según sus oficios y clases;
17 And the families of the priests were listed by their fathers' names, but the Levites, of twenty years old and over, were listed in relation to their work in their divisions;
También á los que eran contados entre los sacerdotes por las familias de sus padres, y á los Levitas de edad de veinte años arriba, conforme á sus oficios y órdenes;
18 And in the lists were all their little ones and their wives and their sons and daughters, through all the people: they made themselves holy in the positions which they were given.
Asimismo á los de su generación con todos sus niños, y sus mujeres, y sus hijos é hijas, á toda la familia; porque con fidelidad se consagraban á las cosas santas.
19 And as for the sons of Aaron, the priests, living in the country on the outskirts of their towns, every different town there were men, marked out by name, to give their part of the goods to all the males among the priests, and to all who were listed among the Levites.
Del mismo modo en orden á los hijos de Aarón, sacerdotes, que estaban en los ejidos de sus ciudades, por todas las ciudades, los varones nombrados [tenían cargo] de dar sus porciones á todos los varones de los sacerdotes, y á todo el linaje de los Levitas.
20 This Hezekiah did through all Judah; he did what was good and right and true before the Lord his God.
De esta manera hizo Ezechîas en todo Judá: y ejecutó lo bueno, recto, y verdadero, delante de Jehová su Dios.
21 And for everything he undertook, in connection with the work of the house of God and his law and orders, he got directions from God and did it with serious purpose; and things went well for him.
En todo cuanto comenzó en el servicio de la casa de Dios, y en la ley y mandamientos, buscó á su Dios, é hízolo de todo corazón, y fué prosperado.
