2 Chronicles 31
1 Now when all this was finished, all the people of Israel who were there went out to the cities of Judah and broke to pieces the stone pillars and they cut down the Asherah poles, and they broke down the high places and the altars in all of Judah and Benjamin, and in Ephraim and Manasseh, until they had destroyed them all. Then all the people of Israel returned, every one to his own possession and his own city.
[清除偶像]這一切完成以後，所有在場的以色列人就都出去，到猶大各城，將石柱搗碎，將木偶砍倒，將猶大、本雅明、厄弗辣因和默納協各地的高丘和香壇完全拆除；以後，所有的以色列子民各回了本城，各歸己業。[重整神職班次]
2 Hezekiah assigned the divisions of the priests and the Levites organized by their divisions, each man assigned to his work, both the priests and the Levites. He assigned them to make the burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, to serve, to give thanks, and to praise at the gates of Yahweh's temple.
希則克雅又整編了司祭和肋未人的班次，使司祭和肋未人各照自己的班次，各照自己的任務，獻權燔祭與和平祭，或服務於上主的螢幕門口，稱謝讚頌上主。
3 He also assigned the king's portion for the burnt offerings from his own possessions, that is, for the morning and evening burnt offerings, and the burnt offerings for the Sabbath days, the new moons, and the fixed festivals, as it was written in the law of Yahweh.
君王又由自己的產業中劃出一份，作為早晚的全燔祭，安息日、新月和節期的全燔祭，如上主法律上所規定的；
4 Moreover, he commanded the people who lived in Jerusalem to give the portion for the priests and the Levites, so that they might concentrate on obeying the law of Yahweh.
又吩咐住在耶路撒冷的百姓，交出司祭和肋未人所應得的一分，令他們堅守上主的法律。
5 As soon as the command was sent out, the people of Israel generously gave the firstfruits of grain, new wine, oil, honey, and from all their harvest of the field. They brought in a tithe of everything, which was a great quantity.
這道諭旨一出，以色列子民便獻了許多初熟的五穀、新酒、蜜，以及田地的出產；同時將所有物的十分之一，也大批的送了來，
6 The people of Israel and Judah who lived in the cities of Judah also brought in the tithe of cattle and sheep, and the tithe of the holy things that were set apart to Yahweh their God, and they piled them up in heaps.
連住在猶大各城的以色列和猶大子民，也將牛羊的十分之一，並應獻於上主，他們天主的聖物的十分之一，都送了來，堆積成堆；
7 It was in the third month when they began piling up their contribution in heaps, and they finished in the seventh month.
由三月開始堆積，至七月纔完畢。
8 When Hezekiah and the leaders came and saw the heaps, they blessed Yahweh and his people Israel.
希則克雅和首領們前來，看見這些堆積之物，便稱讚了上主和他的百姓以色列。
9 Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites about the heaps.
希則克雅向司祭和肋未人問及這些堆積之物，
10 Azariah, the chief priest, of the house of Zadok, answered him and said, “Since the people began to bring the offerings into the house of Yahweh, we have eaten and had enough, and have plenty left over, for Yahweh has blessed his people. What was left over is this large amount here.”
匝多克家的司祭之長阿匝黎雅答說：「自從人民將供物獻入上主的殿內以來，我們不但可以飽食，而且還有許多剩餘，因為上主祝福了他的百姓；這一大堆全是剩餘的。」[儲藏與分配供物]
11 Then Hezekiah commanded storerooms to be prepared in the house of Yahweh, and they prepared them.
希則克雅吩咐在上主殿內預備倉房；人便預備了，
12 Then they faithfully brought in the offerings, the tithes and the things that belonged to Yahweh. Konaniah the Levite was the manager in charge of them, and his brother Shimei was second to him.
細心將供物和什一之物，以及奉獻的聖物，都搬入倉內。肋未人苛納尼雅為總管，他的兄弟史米為副。
13 Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismakiah, Mahath, and Benaiah were managers under the hand of Konaniah and Shimei his brother, by appointment of Hezekiah, the king, and Azariah, the official over the house of God.
耶希耳、阿匝齊雅、納哈特、阿撒耳、耶黎摩特、約匝巴得，厄里耳、依斯瑪基雅、瑪哈特和貝納雅，自苛納尼和他兄弟史米之下作督察，全是由君王希則克雅和上主殿宇的主席阿匝黎雅所委任的。
14 Kore son of Imnah the Levite, the porter at the east gate, was over the free will offerings of God, in charge of distributing the offerings to Yahweh and the most holy offerings.
守東門的肋未人，依默納的兒子科勒，掌管自願捐獻於天主的禮品，發放獻於上主的供物和至聖之物；
15 Under him were Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests. They filled offices of trust, in order to give these offerings to their brothers division by division, to both the important and the unimportant.
他以下有厄登、本雅明、耶叔亞、舍瑪雅、阿瑪黎雅和舍加尼雅，在各司祭城內，按照班次，不分老幼，將物品細心分發給他們的弟兄。
16 They also gave to those males three years old and up, who were listed in the records of their ancestors who entered the house of Yahweh, as required by the daily schedule, to do the work in their offices and their divisions.
此外，又登記了每日進上主殿，依照班次盡職，三十歲以上的男子：
17 They distributed to the priests according to the records of their ancestors, and the same to the Levites twenty years old and more, according to their offices and their divisions.
司祭依照家族登記；二十歲以上的肋未人，依照職分班次登記。
18 They included all their little ones, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, through the whole community, for they were faithful in keeping themselves holy.
登記時，他們全家妻子兒女，都應包括在內，因為他們都應自潔成聖。
19 For the priests, the descendants of Aaron, who were in the fields of the villages belonging to their cities, or in every city, there were men assigned by name to give portions to all the males among the priests, and to all who were listed in the records of their ancestors as being among the Levites.
至於那住在各城郊外作司祭的亞郎子孫，在各城內有指定的人，給司祭中的男子及登記的肋未人，發放應得的一份。
20 Hezekiah did this throughout all Judah. He accomplished what was good, right, and faithful before Yahweh, his God.
希則克雅在全猶大行事都是如此：行了上主他的天主視為善，視為正義的事。
21 In every project that he began in the service of the house of God, the law, and the commandments, to seek his God, he performed it with all his heart, and he succeeded.
凡他著手所行的，不論是關於上主殿內的敬禮，或關於法律和誡命，都是為了尋求他的天主；凡他誠心所行的，無不順利。
