2 Chronicles 31
1 And when these things had been duly celebrated, all Israel that were found in the cities of Juda, went out, and they broke the idols, and cut down the groves. demolished the high places, and destroyed the altars, not only out of all Juda and Benjamin, but out of Ephraim also and Manasses, till they had utterly destroyed them: then all the children of Israel returned to their possessions and cities.
Torej, ko je bilo vse to končano, je ves Izrael, ki je bil prisoten, odšel ven v Judova mesta in na koščke so razbili podobe, posekali ašere, podrli visoke kraje in oltarje iz vsega Juda in Benjamina, tudi v Efrájimu in Manáseju, dokler niso vseh uničili do konca. Potem so se vsi Izraelovi otroci vrnili, vsak mož k svoji posesti, v svoja lastna mesta.
2 And Ezechias appointed companies of the priests, and the Levites, by their courses, every man in his own office, to wit, both of the priests, and of the Levites, for holocausts, and for peace offerings, to minister, and to praise, and to sing in the gates of the camp of the Lord.
Ezekíja je določil skupine duhovnikov in Lévijevce po njihovih skupinah, vsakega moža glede na njegovo službo, duhovnike in Lévijevce, da služijo za žgalne daritve in za mirovne daritve, da se zahvaljujejo in da hvalijo v velikih vratih Gospodovih šotorov.
3 And the king’s part was, that of his proper substance the holocaust should be offered always morning and evening, and on the sabbaths, and the new moons and the other solemnities, as it is written in the law of Moses.
Določil je tudi kraljev delež njegovega imetja za žgalne daritve, namreč za jutranje in večerne žgalne daritve, za šabatne žgalne daritve, za mlaje in za določene praznike, kakor je to zapisano v Gospodovi postavi.
4 He commanded also the people that dwelt in Jerusalem, to give to the priests, and the Levites their portion, that they might attend to the law of the Lord.
Poleg tega je zapovedal ljudstvu, ki je prebivalo v Jeruzalemu, naj dajo delež duhovnikom in Lévijevcem, da bi bili lahko ohrabreni v Gospodovi postavi.
5 Which when it was noised abroad in the ears of the people, the children of Israel offered in abundance the firstfruits of corn, wine, and oil, and honey: and brought the tithe of all things which the ground bringeth forth.
Takoj, ko je bila zapoved razglašena, so Izraelovi otroci v obilju prinašali prvih sadov od žita, vina, olja, meda in od vsega donosa iz polja. Desetino od vseh stvari so prinašali v obilju.
6 Moreover the children of Israel and Juda, that dwelt in the cities of Juda, brought in the tithes of oxen, and sheep, and the tithes of holy things, which they had vowed to the Lord their God: and carrying them all, made many heaps.
Glede otrok iz Izraela in Juda, ki so prebivali v Judovih mestih, so tudi oni privedli desetino od volov in ovc in desetino od svetih stvari, ki so bile posvečene Gospodu, njihovemu Bogu in jih nalagali po kupih.
7 In the third month they began to lay the foundations of the heaps, and in the seventh month, they finished them.
V tretjem mesecu so začeli polagati temelj kupom in jih dokončali v sedmem mesecu.
8 And when Ezechias and his princes came in, they saw the heaps, and they blessed the Lord and the people of Israel.
Ko so Ezekíja in princi prišli in videli kupe, so blagoslovili Gospoda in njegovo ljudstvo Izrael.
9 And Ezechias asked the priests and the Levites, why the heaps lay so.
Potem je Ezekíja z duhovniki in Lévijevci spraševal glede teh kupov.
10 Azarias the chief priest of the race of Sadoc answered him, saying: Since the firstfruits began to be offered in the house of the Lord, we have eaten, and have been filled, and abundance is left, because the Lord hath blessed his people: and of that which is left is this great store which thou seest.
Véliki duhovnik Azarjá iz Cadókove hiše mu je odgovoril in rekel: »Odkar je ljudstvo začelo prinašati daritve v Gospodovo hišo, smo imeli dovolj za jesti in obilje je preostalo, kajti Gospod je blagoslovil svoje ljudstvo in to, kar je ostalo, je ta velika zaloga.«
11 Then Ezechias commanded to prepare storehouses in the house of the Lord. And when they had done so,
Potem je Ezekíja zapovedal, da pripravijo sobe v Gospodovi hiši in pripravili so jih
12 They brought in faithfully both the firstfruits, and the tithes, and all they had vowed. And the overseer of them was Chonenias the Levite, and Semei his brother was the second,
in vanje so zvesto prinašali daritve, desetine in posvečene stvari, nad katerimi je bil poveljnik, Lévijevec Konanjá in njegov brat Šimí je bil naslednji.
13 And after him Jehiel, and Azarias, and Nahath, and Asael, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Jesmachias, and Mahath, and Banaias, overseers under the hand of Chonenias, and Semei his brother, by the commandment of Ezechias the king, and Azarias the high priest of the house of God, to whom all things appertained.
Jehiél, Azazjá, Nahat, Asaél, Jerimót, Jozabád, Eliél, Jismahjá, Mahat in Benajá so bili nadzorniki pod roko Konanjája in njegovega brata Šimíja na zapoved kralja Ezekíja in Azarjája, poveljnika Božje hiše.
14 But Core the son of Jemna the Levite, the porter of the east gate, was overseer of the things which were freely offered to the Lord, and of the firstfruits and the things dedicated for the holy of holies.
Koré, sin Lévijevca Jimnáha, vratar proti vzhodu, je bil nad prostovoljnimi daritvami Bogu, da razdeljuje daritve Gospodu in najsvetejše stvari.
15 And under his charge were Eden, and Benjamin, Jesue, and Semeias, and Amarias, and Sechenias, in the cities of the priests, to distribute faithfully portions to their brethren, both little and great:
Poleg njega so bili Eden, Minjamín, Ješúa, Šemajá, Amarjá in Šehanjá v mestih duhovnikov, v svoji določeni službi, da dajo svojim bratom po skupinah, tako velikim kakor malim,
16 Besides the males from three years old and upward, to all that went into the temple of the Lord, and whatsoever there was need of in the ministry, and their offices according to their courses, day by day.
poleg njihovega rodovnika moških, starih od treh let in navzgor, celó vsak, kdor vstopa v Gospodovo hišo, njegov dnevni delež za njihovo službo po njihovih zadolžitvah, glede na njihove skupine.
17 To the priests by their families, and to the Levites from the twentieth year and upward, by their classes and companies.
Tako rodovnikom duhovnikov po hiši njihovih očetov kot Lévijevcem od dvajsetih let starosti in navzgor po njihovih zadolžitvah, po njihovih skupinah.
18 And to all the multitude, both to their wives, and to their children of both sexes, victuals were given faithfully out of the things that had been sanctified.
In rodovnikom vseh njihovih malčkov, njihovih žen, njihovih sinov in njihovih hčera po vsej skupnosti, kajti v njihovi določeni službi so se posvetili v svetosti.
19 Also of the sons of Aaron who were in the fields and in the suburbs of each city, there were men appointed, to distribute portions to all the males, among the priests and the Levites.
Tudi od sinov duhovnika Arona, ki so bili na poljih predmestij njihovih mest v vsakem posameznem mestu, možje, ki so bili določeni po imenu, da dajo deleže vsem moškim med duhovniki in vsem, ki so bili po rodovnikih prešteti med Lévijevci.
20 So Ezechias did all things, which we have said in all Juda, and wrought that which was good; and right, and truth, before the Lord his God,
Tako je storil Ezekíja po vsem Judu in delal to, kar je bilo dobro, pravilno in resnično pred Gospodom, svojim Bogom.
21 In all the service of the ministry of the house of the Lord according to the law and the ceremonies, desiring to seek his God with all his heart, and he did it and prospered,
V vsakem delu, ki ga je začel v službi Božje hiše, v postavi in v zapovedih, da išče svojega Boga, je to počel z vsem svojim srcem in uspeval.
