2 Chronicles 31
1 After the festival ended, the Israelis who were there went to all the towns in Judah and smashed the stones/pillars [for worshiping idols], and cut down the poles [for worshiping the goddess] Asherah. They destroyed the shrines on the hilltops and the altars [of Baal] throughout the areas where the tribes of Judah and Benjamin lived, and also in the areas of the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh. After destroying all of them, they returned to their own towns.
이 모든 일이 마치매 거기 있는 이스라엘 무리가 나가서 유다 여러 성읍에 이르러 주상을 깨뜨리며 아세라 목상을 찍으며 유다와 베냐민과 에브라임과 므낫세 온 땅에서 산당과 단을 제하여 멸하고 이스라엘 모든 자손이 각각 그 본성 기업으로 돌아갔더라
2 Hezekiah divided the priests and [other] descendants of Levi into groups. He appointed some of the groups to offer sacrifices that would be completely burned [on the altar] and offerings to maintain fellowship [with Yahweh]. He appointed some groups to do other work at the temple: some to lead the people in their worship, some to thank Yahweh, and some to sing songs to praise to Yahweh at the gates of the temple.
히스기야가 제사장들과 레위 사람들의 반차를 정하고 각각 그 직임을 행하게 하되 곧 제사장들과 레위 사람들로 번제와 화목제를 드리며 여호와의 영문에서 섬기며 감사하며 찬송하게 하고
3 The king contributed some of his own funds to buy animals that would be sacrificed in the morning and in the evening of each day, and on the Sabbath days, to celebrate the new moons, and during the other feasts, according to what was written in the laws [that Yahweh gave to Moses].
또 자기 재산 중에서 얼마를 정하여 여호와의 율법에 기록된대로 번제 곧 조석 번제와 안식일과 초하루와 절기의 번제에 쓰게 하고
4 Hezekiah told the people living in Jerusalem to give to the priests and the other descendants of Levi the portions [of meat] that should be given to them, in order that they could devote all their time to obeying the laws of Yahweh.
또 예루살렘에 거한 백성을 명하여 제사장들과 레위 사람들의 응식을 주어 저희로 여호와의 율법을 힘쓰게 하라 한지라
5 As soon as he told that to the people, they generously gave the first part of their harvest of grain, and the first part of the new wine [that they produced], and [olive] oil and honey, and of the crops that grew in their fields. They brought [to the temple] a tenth of all their crops.
왕의 명령이 내리자 곧 이스라엘 자손이 곡식과 포도주와 기름과 꿀과 밭의 모든 소산의 처음 것을 풍성히 드렸고 또 모든 것의 십일조를 많이 가져왔으며
6 The men of Israel and Judah who were living in various towns in Judah also brought a tenth of their cattle and sheep and goats, and a tenth of other things that they had dedicated to Yahweh their God, and they piled all those things in heaps.
유다 여러 성읍에 거한 이스라엘과 유다 자손도 소와 양의 십일조를 가져왔고 또 그 하나님 여호와께 구별하여 드릴 성물의 십일조를 가져왔으며 그것을 쌓아 더미를 이루었는데
7 They started to do that in May and finished doing it in September.
삼월에 쌓기를 시작하여 칠월에 마친지라
8 When Hezekiah and his officials saw the heaps, they praised Yahweh and [requested God to] bless the people.
히스기야와 방백들이 와서 더미를 보고 여호와를 송축하고 그 백성 이스라엘을 위하여 축복하니라
9 But Hezekiah asked the priests and other descendants of Levi, “Why are these heaps of things here?”
히스기야가 그 더미에 대하여 제사장들과 레위 사람들에게 물으니
10 Then Azariah the [Supreme] Priest, a descendant of Zadok, replied, “Since the time that the people started to bring their offerings to the temple, we have had even more food than we need. This has happened because Yahweh has greatly blessed our fellow Israelis, with the result that all this is left over [after we priests and other descendants of Levi took all that we need]!”
사독의 족속 대제사장 아사랴가 대답하여 가로되 백성이 예물을 여호와의 전에 드리기 시작함으로부터 우리가 족하게 먹었으나 남은 것이 많으니 이는 여호와께서 그 백성에게 복을 주셨음이라 그 남은 것이 이렇게 많이 쌓였나이다
11 Then Hezekiah ordered that they should prepare storerooms in the temple. So they did that.
그 때에 히스기야가 명하여 여호와의 전안에 방을 예비하라 한고로 드디어 예비하고
12 Then they brought into the storerooms all the tithes and offerings and the things dedicated to Yahweh [which the people had brought]. One of the descendants of Levi whose name was Conaniah was in charge of those things, and his [younger] brother Shimei was his assistant.
성심으로 그 예물과 십일조와 구별한 물건을 갖다두고 레위 사람 고나냐는 그 일을 주관하고 그 아우 시므이는 버금이 되며
13 Those two men supervised Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismakiah, Mahath and Benaiah while they did the work. They were appointed by King Hezekiah; Azariah was in charge of [everything that was done in] the temple.
여히엘과 아사시야와 나핫과 아사헬과 여리못과 요사밧과 엘리엘과 이스마갸와 마핫과 브나야는 고나냐와 그 아우 시므이의 수하에서 보살피는 자가 되니 이는 히스기야왕과 하나님의 전을 관리하는 아사랴의 명한바며
14 Kore the son of Imnah, another descendant of Levi, who guarded the east gate of the temple, was in charge of the offerings to God that were made voluntarily. He distributed to the priests and [other] descendants of Levi the offerings and other things that were dedicated to Yahweh.
동문지기 레위 사람 임나의 아들 고레는 즐거이 하나님께 드리는 예물을 맡아 여호와께 드리는 것과 모든 지성물을 나눠주며
15 Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah and Shecaniah faithfully assisted him in the towns where the priests lived. They distributed those things to the groups of their fellow priests; they distributed them to everyone, from the youngest to the oldest.
그 수하의 에덴과 미냐민과 예수아와 스마야와 아마랴와 스가냐는 제사장의 성읍들에 있어서 직임을 맡아 그 형제에게 반차대로 무론대소하고 나눠주되
16 They also distributed things to the males who were at least 30 years old, those whose names were written on the scrolls where lists of family names were written. They were males who [were allowed to] enter the temple to perform their tasks/work each day, the tasks that each group had been assigned to do.
삼세 이상으로 족보에 기록된 남자 외에 날마다 여호와의 전에 들어가서 그 반차대로 직임에 수종드는 자들에게 다 나눠주며
17 The names of the priests were on the scrolls where their clans’ names were written. They also distributed things to groups of [other] descendants of Levi, those who were at least 20 years old.
또 그 족속대로 족보에 기록된 제사장들에게 나눠 주며 이십세 이상부터 그 반차대로 직임을 맡은 레위 사람들에게 나눠 주며
18 They included all their little children and wives and other sons and daughters whose names were on the scrolls where their clans’ names were written, because they also faithfully had dedicated themselves to Yahweh.
또 그 족보에 기록된 온 회중의 어린아이와 아내와 자녀들에게 나눠 주었으니 이 회중은 성결하고 충실히 그 직분을 다하는 자며
19 [Hezekiah] also appointed other men to distribute portions of those offerings to the priests and other descendants of Levi who were living in the pasturelands around the towns in Judah. But they gave things only to those who were descendants of Aaron [the first Supreme Priest], whose names were on the scrolls containing the names of their clans.
각 성읍에서 녹명된 사람이 있어 성읍 가까운 들에 거한 아론 자손 제사장들에게도 나눠 주되 제사장들의 모든 남자와 족보에 기록된 레위 사람들에게 나눠 주었더라
20 That is what Hezekiah did throughout Judah. He always faithfully did things that Yahweh his God considered to be right and good.
히스기야가 온 유다에 이같이 행하되 그 하나님 여호와 보시기에 선과 정의와 진실함으로 행하였으니
21 In everything that he did for the worship in the temple, and as he obeyed God’s laws and commands, he tried to find out what his God wanted, and he worked energetically. So he was successful.
무릇 그 행하는 모든 일 곧 하나님의 전에 수종드는 일에나 율법에나 계명에나 그 하나님을 구하고 일심으로 행하여 형통하였더라
