2 Chronicles 31

1 Now when all this was finished, all Israel who were present went out to the cities of Judah, and broke in pieces the pillars, and cut down the Asherim, and broke down the high places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim also and Manasseh, until they had destroyed them all. Then all the children of Israel returned, every man to his possession, into their own cities.

这事既都完毕，在那里的以色列众人就到犹大的城邑，打碎柱像，砍断木偶，又在犹大、便雅悯、以法莲、玛拿西遍地将邱坛和祭坛拆毁净尽。于是以色列众人各回各城，各归各地。

2 Hezekiah appointed the divisions of the priests and the Levites after their divisions, every man according to his service, both the priests and the Levites, for burnt offerings and for peace offerings, to minister, and to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the camp of the LORD.

希西家派定祭司利未人的班次，各按各职献燔祭和平安祭，又在耶和华殿门内事奉，称谢颂赞耶和华。

3 He appointed also the king's portion of his substance for the burnt offerings, for the morning and evening burnt offerings, and the burnt offerings for the Sabbaths, and for the new moons, and for the set feasts, as it is written in the law of the LORD.

王又从自己的产业中定出分来为燔祭，就是早晚的燔祭和安息日、月朔，并节期的燔祭，都是按耶和华律法上所载的；

4 Moreover he commanded the people who lived in Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might give themselves to the law of the LORD.

又吩咐住耶路撒冷的百姓将祭司、利未人所应得的分给他们，使他们专心遵守耶和华的律法。

5 As soon as the commandment came abroad, the children of Israel gave in abundance the first fruits of grain, new wine, and oil, and honey, and of all the increase of the field; and the tithe of all things brought they in abundantly.

谕旨一出，以色列人就把初熟的五谷、新酒、油、蜜，和田地的出产多多送来，又把各物的十分之一送来的极多。

6 The children of Israel and Judah, who lived in the cities of Judah, they also brought in the tithe of cattle and sheep, and the tithe of dedicated things which were consecrated to the LORD their God, and laid them by heaps.

住犹大各城的以色列人和犹大人也将牛羊的十分之一，并分别为圣归耶和华—他们 神之物，就是十分取一之物，尽都送来，积成堆垒；

7 In the third month they began to lay the foundation of the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month.

从三月积起，到七月才完。

8 And when Hezekiah and the leaders came and saw the heaps, they blessed the LORD, and his people Israel.

希西家和众首领来，看见堆垒，就称颂耶和华，又为耶和华的民以色列人祝福。

9 Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps.

希西家向祭司、利未人查问这堆垒。

10 Azariah the chief priest, of the house of Zadok, answered him and said, "Since people began to bring the offerings into the house of the LORD, we have eaten and had enough, and have left plenty: for the LORD has blessed his people; and that which is left is this great store."

撒督家的大祭司亚撒利雅回答说：“自从民将供物送到耶和华殿以来，我们不但吃饱，且剩下的甚多；因为耶和华赐福给他的民，所剩下的才这样丰盛。”

11 Then Hezekiah commanded them to prepare rooms in the house of the LORD; and they prepared them.

希西家吩咐在耶和华殿里预备仓房，他们就预备了。

12 They brought in the offerings and the tithes and the dedicated things faithfully: and over them Conaniah the Levite was ruler, and Shimei his brother was second.

他们诚心将供物和十分取一之物，并分别为圣之物，都搬入仓内。利未人歌楠雅掌管这事，他兄弟示每为副管。

13 Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath, and Asahel, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Ismakiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah, were overseers under the hand of Conaniah and Shimei his brother, by the appointment of Hezekiah the king, and Azariah the ruler of God's house.

耶歇、亚撒细雅、拿哈、亚撒黑、耶利末、约撒拔、以列、伊斯玛基雅、玛哈、比拿雅都是督理，在歌楠雅和他兄弟示每的手下，是希西家王和管理 神殿的亚撒利雅所派的。

14 Kore the son of Jimnah the Levite, the keeper of the east gate, was over the freewill offerings of God, to distribute the offerings of the LORD, and the most holy things.

守东门的利未人音拿的儿子可利，掌管乐意献与 神的礼物，发放献与耶和华的供物和至圣的物。

15 Under him were Eden, and Miniamin, and Jeshua, and Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, alongside the priests, to faithfully make disbursements to their brothers by divisions, as well to the great as to the small:

在他手下有伊甸、珉雅珉、耶书亚、示玛雅、亚玛利雅、示迦尼雅，在祭司的各城里供紧要的职任，无论弟兄大小，都按着班次分给他们。

16 besides those who were reckoned by genealogy of males, from three years old and upward, even everyone who entered into the house of the LORD, as the duty of every day required, for their service in their offices according to their divisions.

按家谱，三岁以外的男丁，凡每日进耶和华殿、按班次供职的，也分给他；

17 This is the enrollment of the priests by their fathers' houses, and the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in their offices by their divisions;

又按宗族家谱分给祭司，按班次职任分给二十岁以外的利未人，

18 and those who were reckoned by genealogy of all their little ones, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, through all the congregation: for in their office of trust they sanctified themselves in holiness.

又按家谱计算，分给他们会中的妻子、儿女；因他们身供要职，自洁成圣。

19 Also for the descendants of Aaron the priests, who were in the fields of the suburbs of their cities, in every city, there were men who were mentioned by name, to give portions to all the males among the priests, and to all who were reckoned by genealogy among the Levites.

按名派定的人要把应得的分给亚伦子孙，住在各城郊野、祭司所有的男丁和一切载入家谱的利未人。

20 Hezekiah did so throughout all Judah; and he worked that which was good and right and faithful before the LORD his God.

希西家在犹大遍地这样办理，行耶和华—他 神眼中看为善为正为忠的事。

21 In every work that he began in the service of God's house, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart, and prospered.

凡他所行的，无论是办 神殿的事，是遵律法守诫命，是寻求他的 神，都是尽心去行，无不亨通。
