2 Chronicles 31
1 And at the completion of all this, all [those of] Israel who are found present have gone out to the cities of Judah, and break the standing-pillars, and cut down the Asherim, and break down the high places and the altars, out of all Judah and Benjamin, and in Ephraim and Manasseh, even to completion, and all the sons of Israel return, each to his possession, 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 Hezekiah appoints the divisions of the priests and of the Levites, by their divisions, each according to his service, of the priests and of the Levites, for burnt-offering and for peace-offerings, to minister and to give thanks, and to give praise in the gates of the camps of YHWH.
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 a portion of the king, from his substance, [is] for burnt-offerings, for burnt-offerings of the morning and of the evening, and the burnt-offerings of Sabbaths, and of new moons, and of appointed times, as it is written in the Law of YHWH.
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 he commands to the people, to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to give the portion of the priests and of the Levites, so that they are strengthened in the Law of YHWH;
Zapovjedio je narodu, jeruzalemskim stanovnicima, da daju dio svećenicima i levitima da se utvrde u Zakonu Jahvinu.
5 and at the spreading forth of the thing, the sons of Israel have multiplied the first-fruit of grain, new wine, and oil, and honey, and of all the increase of the field, and they have brought in the tithe of the whole in abundance.
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 the sons of Israel and Judah, those dwelling in cities of Judah, have also brought in a tithe of herd and flock, and a tithe of the holy things that are sanctified to their God YHWH, and they set [them in] heaps of 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 they have begun to lay the foundation of the heaps, and in the seventh month they have finished.
Trećega su mjeseca počeli slagati u hrpe, a sedmoga su mjeseca završili.
8 And Hezekiah and the heads come in and see the heaps, and bless YHWH and His people Israel,
Onda je došao Ezekija s knezovima i, ugledavši hrpe, blagosloviše Jahvu i njegov izraelski narod.
9 and Hezekiah inquires at the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps,
Potom se Ezekija propitao kod svećenika i levita za hrpe.
10 and Azariah the head priest, of the house of Zadok, speaks to him and says, “From the beginning of the bringing of the raised-offering to the house of YHWH, [there is enough] to eat, and to be satisfied, and to leave abundantly, for YHWH has blessed His people, and that left [is] this store.”
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 Hezekiah commands to prepare chambers in the house of YHWH, and they prepare,
Tada Ezekija zapovjedi da se urede sobe u Jahvinu Domu; kad su ih spremili,
12 and they bring in the raised-offering, and the tithe, and the holy things faithfully; and over them is a leader, Conaniah the Levite, and his brother Shimei [is] second;
počeli su onamo unositi prinose, desetine i svetinje; nad tim je bio predstojnik levit Konanija i brat mu Šimej, drugi do njega.
13 and Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath, and Asahel, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Ismachiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah, [are] inspectors under the hand of Conaniah and his brother Shimei, by the appointment of Hezekiah the king, and Azariah leader of the house of God.
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 Kore son of Imnah the Levite, the gatekeeper at the east, [is] over the willing-offerings of God, to give the raised-offering of YHWH, 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 And by his hand [are] Eden, and Miniamin, and Jeshua, and Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shechaniah, in cities of the priests, faithfully to give to their brothers in divisions, as the great so the 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 apart from their genealogy, to males from a son of three years and upward, to everyone who has gone into the house of YHWH, by the matter of a day in its day, for their service in their charges, according to their divisions;
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 and the genealogy of the priests by the house of their fathers, and of the Levites, from a son of twenty years and upward, in their charges, in their divisions;
U rodovnike su bili popisani svećenici po obiteljima i leviti od dvadeset godina naviše po svojim službama, po svojim redovima.
18 and to the genealogy among all their infants, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters to all the congregation, for in their faithfulness they sanctify themselves in holiness.
U rodovnike bijahu popisana sva njihova djeca, njihove žene, njihovi sinovi i njihove kćeri, za svekoliki zbor, jer su se iskreno posvetili svetinjama.
19 And for sons of Aaron, the priests, in the fields of the outskirt of their cities, in each and every city, [are] men who have been defined by name, to give portions to every male among the priests, and to everyone who reckoned himself by genealogy among 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 Hezekiah does thus in all Judah, and does that which is good, and that which is right, and that which is true, before his God YHWH;
Ezekija je uradio tako po svoj Judeji čineći što je dobro, pravo i vjerno pred Jahvom, svojim Bogom.
21 and in every work that he has begun for the service of the house of God, and for the Law, and for the command, to seek for his God with all his heart, he has worked 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.
