Chronicles II 31
1 And when all these things were finished, all Israel that were found in the cities of Juda went out, and broke in pieces the pillars, and cut down the groves, and tore down the high places and the altars out of all Judea and Benjamin, also of Ephraim and Manasse, till they made an end: and all Israel returned, every one to his inheritance, and to their cities.
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.
2 And Ezekias appointed the courses of the priests and the Levites, and the courses of each one according to his ministry, to the priests and to the Levites, for the whole burnt offering, and for the peace-offering, and to praise, and to give thanks, and to minister in the gates, [and] in the courts of the house of the Lord.
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.
3 And the king's proportion out of his substance [was appointed] for the whole burnt offerings, the morning and the evening one, and the whole burnt offerings for the sabbaths, and for the new moons, and for the feasts that were ordered in the law of the Lord.
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.
4 And they told the people who lived in Jerusalem, to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might be strong in the ministry of the house of the Lord.
Zapovjedio je narodu, jeruzalemskim stanovnicima, da daju dio svećenicima i levitima da se utvrde u Zakonu Jahvinu.
5 And as he gave the command, Israel brought abundantly first fruits of corn, and wine, and oil, and honey, and every fruit of the field: and the children of Israel and Juda brought tithes of everything abundantly.
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.
6 And they that lived in the cities of Juda themselves also brought tithes of calves and sheep, and tithes of goats, and consecrated them to the Lord their God, and they brought them and laid them in heaps.
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.
7 In the third month the heaps began to be piled, and in the seventh month they were finished.
Trećega su mjeseca počeli slagati u hrpe, a sedmoga su mjeseca završili.
8 And Ezekias and the princes came and saw the heaps, and blessed the Lord, and his people Israel.
Onda je došao Ezekija s knezovima i, ugledavši hrpe, blagosloviše Jahvu i njegov izraelski narod.
9 Then Ezekias enquired of the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps.
Potom se Ezekija propitao kod svećenika i levita za hrpe.
10 And Azarias the priest, the chief over the house of Sadoc, spoke to him, and said, From the time that the first fruits began to be brought into the house of the Lord, we have eaten and drunk, and left even abundantly; for the Lord has blessed his people, and we have left to this amount.
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.”
11 And Ezekias told them yet farther to prepare chambers for the house of the Lord; and they prepared [them],
Tada Ezekija zapovjedi da se urede sobe u Jahvinu Domu; kad su ih spremili,
12 and they brought there the first fruits and the tithes faithfully: and Chonenias the Levite was superintendent over them, and Semei his brother was next.
počeli su onamo unositi prinose, desetine i svetinje; nad tim je bio predstojnik levit Konanija i brat mu Šimej, drugi do njega.
13 and Jeiel, and Ozias, and Naeth, and Asael, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Samachia, and Maath, and Banaias, and his sons, were appointed by Chonenias and Semei his brother, as Ezekias the king, and Azarias who was over the house of the Lord commanded.
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.
14 And Core, the [son] of Jemna the Levite, the porter eastward, [was] over the gifts, to distribute the first fruits of the Lord, and the most holy things,
Kore, sin levita Jimne, vratar Istočnih vrata, bio je nad dragovoljnim Božjim prinosima da bi prinosio Jahvine podizanice i svetinje nad svetinjama.
15 by the hand of Odom, and Benjamin, and Jesus, and Semei, and Amarias, and Sechonias, by the hand of the priests faithfully, to give to their brethren according to the courses, as well to great as small;
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 -
16 besides the increase of males from three years old and upward, to every one entering into the house of the Lord, [a portion] according to a daily rate, for service in the daily courses of their order.
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.
17 This [is] the distribution of the priests according to the houses of their families; and the Levites in their daily courses from twenty years old and upward [were] in [their] order,
U rodovnike su bili popisani svećenici po obiteljima i leviti od dvadeset godina naviše po svojim službama, po svojim redovima.
18 to assign stations for all the increase of their sons and their daughters, for the whole number: for they faithfully sanctified the holy place.
U rodovnike bijahu popisana sva njihova djeca, njihove žene, njihovi sinovi i njihove kćeri, za svekoliki zbor, jer su se iskreno posvetili svetinjama.
19 As for the sons of Aaron that executed the priests' office, —even those from their cities the men in each several city who were named expressly, —[were appointed] to give a portion to every male amongst the priests, and to every one reckoned amongst the Levites.
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.
20 And Ezekias did so through all Juda, and did that which was good and right before the Lord his God.
Ezekija je uradio tako po svoj Judeji čineći što je dobro, pravo i vjerno pred Jahvom, svojim Bogom.
21 And in every work which he began in service in the house of the Lord, and in the law, and in the ordinances, he sought his God with all his soul, and wrought, and prospered.
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.
