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.
Då detta alltså uträttadt var, drogo ut alle de Israeliter, som i Juda städer funne voro, och bröto ned stoderna, och höggo bort lundarna, och bröto ned höjderna och altaren, i hela Juda, BenJamin, Ephraim och Manasse, tilldess de gjorde en ända på dem. Och Israels barn drogo alle till sina ägor i sina städer igen.
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.
Men Jehiskia ställde Presterna och Leviterna uti deras ordning, hvar och en efter sitt ämbete, både Prester och Leviter, till bränneoffer och tackoffer, att de skulle tjena, tacka och lofva, i portarna åt Herrans lägre.
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.
Och Konungen gaf sin del af sina håfvor till bränneoffer, om morgon och om afton, och till bränneoffer om Sabbatherna, och nymånadom, och högtidom, efter som skrifvet står i Herrans lag.
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.
Och han sade till folket, som i Jerusalem bodde, att de skulle gifva Presterna och Leviterna delar, att de måtte desto bättre akta på Herrans lag.
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.
Och då det talet kom ut, gåfvo Israels barn mycken förstling af säd, vin, oljo, hannog och allahanda årsväxt på markene; och allahanda tiond förde de in, ganska mycket.
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.
Förde också Israels barn och Juda, som i Juda städer bodde, tiond fram af fä och får, och tiond af det helgada som de Herranom sinom Gud helgat hade, och lade en hop här, och en hop der.
7 The first store of things was put down in the third month, and in the seventh month the masses were complete.
Uti tredje månadenom begynte de att lägga hoparna, och i sjunde månadenom lyktade de det.
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.
Och då Jehiskia med de öfversta ingingo, och sågo hoparna, lofvade de Herran, och hans folk Israel;
9 Then Hezekiah put questions to the priests and Levites about the store of goods.
Och Jehiskia frågade Presterna och Leviterna om hoparna.
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.
Och Asaria Presten, den ypperste i Zadoks hus, sade till honom: Ifrå den tid man begynte införa häfoffret i Herrans hus, hafve vi ätit och äre mätte vordne, och här är ännu mycket qvart; förty Herren hafver välsignat sitt folk; derföre är denne hopen öfverblefven.
11 Then Hezekiah said that store-rooms were to be made ready in the house of the Lord; and this was done.
Då befallde Konungen, att de skulle reda till kistor i Herrans hus; och de tillredde dem;
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.
Och lade derin häfoffret, tionden, och det helgada, på sina tro. Och öfver det samma var skickad Chanania den Leviten, och Simei hans broder den andre;
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.
Och Jehiel, Asasia, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Josabad, Eliel, Jismacha, Mahath och Benaja, förskickade af Chanania och Simei hans broders hand, efter Konungens Jehiskia befallning. Men Asaria var öfverste i Guds hus.
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.
Och Kore, Jimna son, den Leviten, den dörravaktaren östantill, var öfver de friviljoga Guds gåfvor, som Herranom till häfoffer gifna vordo, och öfver det aldrahelgasta.
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:
Och under hans hand voro Eden, Minjamin, Jesua, Semaja, Amaria och Sechania, uti Presternas städer, på sina tro; att de skulle gifva sina bröder efter deras ordning, dem minsta såsom dem största;
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.
Desslikes dem som för manspersoner räknade vordo, tre åra gamle, och derutöfver, ibland alla dem som uti Herrans hus gingo, hvar på sin dag till sitt ämbete, och i sine vakt efter sitt skifte;
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;
Sammalunda dem som för Prester räknade vordo, i deras fäders hus, och Leviterna, ifrå tjugu år och derutöfver, i deras vakt efter deras skifte;
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.
Dertill dem som räknade vordo ibland deras barn, hustrur, söner och döttrar, i hela menighetene; förty de helgade på sina tro det helgada.
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.
Voro också män vid namn nämnde ibland Aarons barn, Presterna uppå förstädernes mark, i alla städer, att de skulle del gifva alla manspersoner ibland Presterna, och allom dem som ibland Leviterna räknade vordo.
20 This Hezekiah did through all Judah; he did what was good and right and true before the Lord his God.
Alltså gjorde Jehiskia i hela Juda, och gjorde det godt, rätt och sant var för Herranom sinom Gud.
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.
Och i all handel, som han tog sig före med Guds hus tjenste, efter lagen och buden, till att söka sin Gud, det gjorde han af allt hjerta; derföre gick han det ock väl igenom.
