2 Chronicles 29
1 Hezekiah began to reigne, when he was fiue and twentie yeere olde, and reigned nine and twentie yeres in Ierusalem: and his mothers name was Abiiah the daughter of Zechariah.
希西家登基的时候年二十五岁，在耶路撒冷作王二十九年。他母亲名叫亚比雅，是撒迦利雅的女儿。
2 And hee did vprightly in the sight of the Lord, according to all that Dauid his father had done.
希西家行耶和华眼中看为正的事，效法他祖大卫一切所行的。
3 He opened the doores of the house of the Lord in the first yeere, and in the first moneth of his reigne, and repared them.
元年正月，开了耶和华殿的门，重新修理。
4 And he brought in the Priests and the Leuites, and gathered them into the East streete,
他召众祭司和利未人来，聚集在东边的宽阔处，
5 And said vnto them, Heare me, ye Leuites: sanctifie nowe your selues, and sanctifie the house of the Lord God of your fathers, and cary forth the filthinesse out of the Sanctuarie.
对他们说：“利未人哪，当听我说：现在你们要洁净自己，又洁净耶和华—你们列祖 神的殿，从圣所中除去污秽之物。
6 For our fathers haue trespassed, and done euill in the eyes of the Lord our God, and haue forsaken him, and turned away their faces from the Tabernacle of the Lord, and turned their backes.
我们列祖犯了罪，行耶和华—我们 神眼中看为恶的事，离弃他，转脸背向他的居所，
7 They haue also shut the doores of ye porch, and quenched the lampes, and haue neither burnt incense, nor offred burnt offrings in the Sanctuarie vnto the God of Israel.
封锁廊门，吹灭灯火，不在圣所中向以色列 神烧香，或献燔祭。
8 Wherfore the wrath of the Lord hath bin on Iudah and Ierusalem: and he hath made them a scattering, a desolation, and an hissing, as ye see with your eyes.
因此，耶和华的忿怒临到犹大和耶路撒冷，将其中的人抛来抛去，令人惊骇、嗤笑，正如你们亲眼所见的。
9 For lo, our fathers are fallen by the sword, and our sonnes, and our daughters, and our wiues are in captiuitie for the same cause.
所以我们的祖宗倒在刀下，我们的妻子儿女也被掳掠。
10 Now I purpose to make a couenant with the Lord God of Israel, that he may turne away his fierce wrath from vs.
现在我心中有意与耶和华—以色列的 神立约，好使他的烈怒转离我们。
11 Now my sonnes, be not deceiued: for the Lord hath chosen you to stand before him, to serue him, and to be his ministers, and to burne incense.
我的众子啊，现在不要懈怠；因为耶和华拣选你们站在他面前事奉他，与他烧香。”
12 Then the Leuites arose, Mahath ye sonne of Amashai, and Ioel the sonne of Azariah of the sonnes of the Kohathites: and of the sonnes of Merari, Kish the sonne of Abdi, and Azariah the sonne of Iehalelel: and of the Gershonites, Ioah the sonne of Zimmah, and Eden the sonne of Ioah:
于是，利未人哥辖的子孙、亚玛赛的儿子玛哈，亚撒利雅的儿子约珥；米拉利的子孙、亚伯底的儿子基士，耶哈利勒的儿子亚撒利雅；革顺的子孙、薪玛的儿子约亚，约亚的儿子伊甸；
13 And of the sonnes of Elizaphan, Shimri, and Iehiel: and of the sonnes of Asaph, Zechariah, and Mattaniah:
以利撒反的子孙申利和耶利；亚萨的子孙撒迦利雅和玛探雅；
14 And of the sonnes of Heman, Iehiel, and Shimei: and of the sonnes of Ieduthun, Shemaiah and Vzziel.
希幔的子孙耶歇和示每；耶杜顿的子孙示玛雅和乌薛；
15 And they gathered their brethren, and sanctified themselues and came according to the commandement of the King, and by the words of the Lord, for to clense the house of the Lord.
起来聚集他们的弟兄，洁净自己，照着王的吩咐、耶和华的命令，进去洁净耶和华的殿。
16 And the Priests went into the inner partes of the house of the Lord, to clense it, and brought out all the vncleannesse that they founde in the Temple of the Lord, into the court of the house of the Lord: and the Leuites tooke it, to cary it out vnto the brooke Kidron.
祭司进入耶和华的殿要洁净殿，将殿中所有污秽之物搬到耶和华殿的院内，利未人接去，搬到外头汲沦溪边。
17 They began the first day of the first moneth to sanctifie it, and the eight day of the moneth came they to the porche of the Lord: so they sanctified the house of the Lord in eight dayes, and in the sixeteenth day of the first moneth they made an ende.
从正月初一日洁净起，初八日到了耶和华的殿廊，用八日的工夫洁净耶和华的殿，到正月十六日才洁净完了。
18 Then they went in to Hezekiah ye King, and sayde, We haue clensed all the house of the Lord and the altar of burnt offring, with all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread table, with all the vessels thereof:
于是，他们晋见希西家王，说：“我们已将耶和华的全殿和燔祭坛，并坛的一切器皿、陈设饼的桌子，与桌子的一切器皿都洁净了；
19 And all the vessels which King Ahaz had cast aside when he reigned, and transgressed, haue we prepared and sanctified: and beholde, they are before the altar of the Lord.
并且亚哈斯王在位犯罪的时候所废弃的器皿，我们预备齐全，且洁净了，现今都在耶和华的坛前。”
20 And Hezekiah the King rose early, and gathered the princes of the citie, and went vp to the house of the Lord.
希西家王清早起来，聚集城里的首领都上耶和华的殿；
21 And they brought seuen bullockes, and seuen rammes, and seuen lambes, and seuen hee goates, for a sinne offring for the kingdome, and for the sanctuarie, and for Iudah. And he commanded the Priests the sonnes of Aaron, to offer them on the altar of the Lord.
牵了七只公牛，七只公羊，七只羊羔，七只公山羊，要为国、为殿、为犹大人作赎罪祭。王吩咐亚伦的子孙众祭司，献在耶和华的坛上，
22 So they slewe the bullockes, and the Priests receiued the blood, and sprinkled it vpon the altar: they slew also the rammes and sprinkled the blood vpon the altar, and they slew the lambes, and they sprinkled the blood vpon the altar.
就宰了公牛，祭司接血洒在坛上，宰了公羊，把血洒在坛上，又宰了羊羔，也把血洒在坛上；
23 Then they brought the hee goates for the sinne offring before the King and the Congregation, and they layde their hands vpon them.
把那作赎罪祭的公山羊牵到王和会众面前，他们就按手在其上。
24 And the Priests slewe them, and with the blood of them they clensed the altar to reconcile all Israel: for the King had commanded for all Israel the burnt offring and the sinne offring.
祭司宰了羊，将血献在坛上作赎罪祭，为以色列众人赎罪，因为王吩咐将燔祭和赎罪祭为以色列众人献上。
25 He appointed also the Leuites in the house of the Lord with cymbales, with violes, and with harpes, according to the commandement of Dauid, and Gad the Kings Seer, and Nathan the Prophet: for the commandement was by the hande of the Lord, and by the hande of his Prophets.
王又派利未人在耶和华殿中敲钹，鼓瑟，弹琴，乃照大卫和他先见迦得，并先知拿单所吩咐的，就是耶和华借先知所吩咐的。
26 And the Leuites stood with the instruments of Dauid, and the Priests with the trumpets.
利未人拿大卫的乐器，祭司拿号，一同站立。
27 And Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt offring vpon the altar: and when the burnt offring began, the song of the Lord beganne with the trumpets, and the instruments of Dauid King of Israel.
希西家吩咐在坛上献燔祭，燔祭一献，就唱赞美耶和华的歌，用号，并用以色列王大卫的乐器相和。
28 And al the Congregation worshipped, singing a song, and they blew the trumpets: all this continued vntill the burnt offring was finished.
会众都敬拜，歌唱的歌唱，吹号的吹号，如此直到燔祭献完了。
29 And when they had made an ende of offring, the King and all that were present with him, bowed themselues, and worshipped.
献完了祭，王和一切跟随的人都俯伏敬拜。
30 Then Hezekiah the King and the princes commanded the Leuites to prayse the Lord with the wordes of Dauid, and of Asaph the Seer. so they praysed with ioy, and they bowed themselues, and worshipped.
希西家王与众首领又吩咐利未人用大卫和先见亚萨的诗词颂赞耶和华；他们就欢欢喜喜地颂赞耶和华，低头敬拜。
31 And Hezekiah spake, and sayde, Now ye haue consecrate your selues to the Lord: come neere and bring the sacrifices and offerings of prayse into the house of the Lord. And the Congregation brought sacrifices; and offrings of prayses, and euery man that was willing in heart, offred burnt offrings.
希西家说：“你们既然归耶和华为圣，就要前来把祭物和感谢祭奉到耶和华殿里。”会众就把祭物和感谢祭奉来，凡甘心乐意的也将燔祭奉来。
32 And the nomber of the burnt offrings, which the Congregation brought, was seuentie bullockes, an hundreth rammes, and two hundreth lambes: all these were for a burnt offring to the Lord:
会众所奉的燔祭如下：公牛七十只，公羊一百只，羊羔二百只，这都是作燔祭献给耶和华的；
33 And for sanctification sixe hundreth bullockes, and three thousand sheepe.
又有分别为圣之物，公牛六百只，绵羊三千只。
34 But the Priests were too few, and were not able to flay all the burnt offrings: therefore their brethren the Leuites did helpe them, til they had ended the worke, and vntill other Priests were sanctified: for the Leuites were more vpright in heart to sanctifie themselues, then the Priests.
但祭司太少，不能剥尽燔祭牲的皮，所以他们的弟兄利未人帮助他们，直等燔祭的事完了，又等别的祭司自洁了；因为利未人诚心自洁，胜过祭司。
35 And also the burnt offerings were many with the fat of the peace offrings and the drinke offrings for the burnt offring. so the seruice of the house of the Lord was set in order.
燔祭和平安祭牲的脂油，并燔祭同献的奠祭甚多。这样，耶和华殿中的事务俱都齐备了。
36 Then Hezekiah reioyced and all the people, that God had made the people so ready: for the thing was done suddenly.
这事办的甚速，希西家和众民都喜乐，是因 神为众民所预备的。
