2 Chronicles 31
1 When all this had finished, the Israelites who were there went to the towns of Judah and smashed the pagan pillars, cut down the Asherah poles, and destroyed the high places and altars throughout Judah and Benjamin, as well as in Ephraim and Manasseh, until they had completely demolished all of them. After that they all went home to their respective towns.
А кад се све ово сврши, сви синови Израиљеви што се нађоше онде, зађоше по градовима Јудиним, и изломише ликове и исекоше лугове, и оборише висине и олтаре по свој земљи Јудиној и Венијаминовој и по земљи Јефремовој и Манасијиној, докле све не свршише; потом се вратише сви синови Израиљеви свак на своје наследство, у своје градове.
2 Then Hezekiah reallocated the divisions of the priests and Levites, each according to their service: presenting burnt offerings and friendship offerings, serving, giving thanks, and singing praises at the entrances of the Lord's Temple.
А Језекија опет уреди редове свештеничке и левитске по редовима њиховим, сваког по служби његовој, свештенике и Левите, за жртве паљенице и захвалне, да служе, и да славе и хвале Господа на вратима логора Његовог.
3 The king contributed personally towards the morning and evening burnt offerings, and for the burnt offerings on the Sabbaths, new moons, and special feasts, as required by the Law of the Lord.
И одреди део царски од блага свог за жртве паљенице, што се приносе јутром и вечером и за жртве паљенице што се приносе у суботе и на младине и на празнике, како је написано у закону Господњем.
4 He also ordered the people living in Jerusalem to provide for the priests and Levites so that they could dedicate themselves to studying and teaching the Law of the Lord.
И заповеди народу, Јерусалимљанима, да дају део свештеницима и Левитима, да се јаче држе закона Господњег.
5 As soon as the message went out, the Israelites generously gave the firstfruits of the grain, new wine, olive oil, and honey, and of all the crops. They brought plenty, a tithe of everything.
А чим се то разгласи, стадоше доносити синови Израиљеви силу првина од жита и од вина и од уља и од меда и сваког рода земаљског; и десетка од свега доносише врло много.
6 The people of Israel now living in Judah, and the people of Judah brought a tithe of their herds and flocks. They also brought a tithe of what had been dedicated to the Lord their God, and piled them up.
И синови Израиљеви и Јудини који живљаху по градовима Јудиним, доносише и они десетак од говеда и оваца, и десетак од светих ствари посвећених Господу Богу њиховом, и метнуше у гомиле.
7 They started doing this in the third month, and they finished in the seventh month.
Трећег месеца почеше метати у гомиле, а седмог месеца свршише.
8 When Hezekiah and his officials came and saw what had been collected, they thanked the Lord and his people Israel.
И дође Језекија с кнезовима, и видевши гомиле благословише Господа и народ Његов Израиља.
9 Hezekiah asked the priests and Levites about what had been collected.
И Језекија запита свештенике и Левите за гомиле.
10 Azariah, the chief priest of the family of Zadok, answered, “Ever since the people began to bring their contributions into the Lord's Temple, we have had enough to eat and plenty to spare. Because the Lord has blessed his people there is so much left over.”
А Азарија поглавар свештенички од дома Садоковог рече му: Откад почеше доносити ове прилоге у дом Господњи, једемо и сити смо и претече много, јер је Господ благословио свој народ, те је претекло ово мноштво.
11 Hezekiah ordered the construction of storehouses in the Lord's Temple. Once they were ready,
Тада заповеди Језекија да се начине клети у дому Господњем; и начинише;
12 the people faithfully brought in their offerings, tithes, and dedicated gifts. Conaniah the Levite was the one who was responsible for them, and his brother Shimei was second in command.
И онде остављаху верно прилоге и десетке и ствари посвећене; и над тим беше поглавар Хонанија Левит и Симеј брат му, други до њега.
13 They were in charge of the following officers: Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismachiah, Mahath, and Benaiah were overseers who assisted Conaniah and Shimei his brother. They were appointed by King Hezekiah and Azariah, the chief officer of God's Temple.
А Јехило и Азазија и Нахат и Асаило и Јеримот и Јозавад и Елило и Исмахија и Мат и Венаја беху настојници под руком Хонаније и брата му Симеја по наредби цара Језекије и Азарије старешине у дому Божијем.
14 Kore, son of Imnah, the Levite, the gatekeeper of the East Gate, was responsible for receiving the freewill offerings given to God. He also distributed the offerings given to the Lord, together with the consecrated gifts.
А Кореј син Јемне Левита, вратар на истоку, беше над оним што се драговољно приношаше Богу, да би раздељивао принос Господњи и ствари свете над светим.
15 Under him were his assistants Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah. They faithfully made the allocations to their fellow Levites in their towns, according to the priestly divisions, sharing equally with the old and young.
А под њим беше Еден и Минијамин и Исус и Семаја и Амарија и Сеханија по градовима свештеничким, људи поуздани, да раздају браћи својој делове, великом и малом,
16 They also gave allowances to the males listed in the genealogy who were three years of age or older, to all who would enter the Lord's Temple to perform their daily duties of serving according to the responsibilities of their divisions.
Осим мушких у роду њиховом од три године и више, свакоме који улажаше у дом Господњи на посао свакидашњи по дужности њиховој у служби њиховој по реду њиховом,
17 They also gave allowances to the priests listed by family in the genealogy, and to the Levites twenty years of age or older, according to the responsibilities of their divisions.
И онима који бише избројани у роду свештеничком по домовима отаца њихових, и Левитима од двадесет година и више по служби њиховој по редовима њиховим,
18 The genealogy included all the babies, wives, sons, and daughters of the whole community, for they were faithful in making sure they dedicated themselves as holy.
И породици њиховој, свој деци њиховој, женама њиховим, синовима њиховим и кћерима њиховим, свему мноштву; јер се верно посветише светињи;
19 In the case of the priests, the descendants of Aaron, those who lived on the farmlands around their towns, men were appointed by name in all the towns to distribute an allocation to every male among the priests and to every Levite as listed in the genealogies.
И синовима Ароновим свештеницима у подграђима градова њихових, по свим градовима, људи именовани даваху делове сваком мушкарцу између свештеника и свакоме рода левитског.
20 This is what Hezekiah did throughout the whole of Judah. He did what was good, right, and true before the Lord his God.
И тако учини Језекија у свој земљи Јудиној; и чињаше шта је добро и право и истинито пред Господом Богом његовим.
21 In everything he did in working for God's Temple and in following God's laws and commandments, Hezekiah was sincere in his commitment to God. So he was successful in all he did.
И у сваком послу који поче за службу дома Божјег и у закону и у заповести тражећи Бога свог, труђаше се свим срцем својим, и срећан беше.
