< 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.
А кад се све ово сврши, сви синови Израиљеви што се нађоше онде, зађоше по градовима Јудиним, и изломише ликове и исекоше лугове, и оборише висине и олтаре по свој земљи Јудиној и Венијаминовој и по земљи Јефремовој и Манасијиној, докле све не свршише; потом се вратише сви синови Израиљеви свак на своје наследство, у своје градове.
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.
А Језекија опет уреди редове свештеничке и левитске по редовима њиховим, сваког по служби његовој, свештенике и Левите, за жртве паљенице и захвалне, да служе, и да славе и хвале Господа на вратима логора Његовог.
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.
И одреди део царски од блага свог за жртве паљенице, што се приносе јутром и вечером и за жртве паљенице што се приносе у суботе и на младине и на празнике, како је написано у закону Господњем.
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.
И заповеди народу, Јерусалимљанима, да дају део свештеницима и Левитима, да се јаче држе закона Господњег.
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.
А чим се то разгласи, стадоше доносити синови Израиљеви силу првина од жита и од вина и од уља и од меда и сваког рода земаљског; и десетка од свега доносише врло много.
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.
И синови Израиљеви и Јудини који живљаху по градовима Јудиним, доносише и они десетак од говеда и оваца, и десетак од светих ствари посвећених Господу Богу њиховом, и метнуше у гомиле.
7 It was in the third month when they began piling up their contribution in heaps, and they finished in the seventh month.
Трећег месеца почеше метати у гомиле, а седмог месеца свршише.
8 When Hezekiah and the leaders came and saw the heaps, they blessed Yahweh and his people Israel.
И дође Језекија с кнезовима, и видевши гомиле благословише Господа и народ Његов Израиља.
9 Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites about the heaps.
И Језекија запита свештенике и Левите за гомиле.
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.”
А Азарија поглавар свештенички од дома Садоковог рече му: Откад почеше доносити ове прилоге у дом Господњи, једемо и сити смо и претече много, јер је Господ благословио свој народ, те је претекло ово мноштво.
11 Then Hezekiah commanded storerooms to be prepared in the house of Yahweh, and they prepared them.
Тада заповеди Језекија да се начине клети у дому Господњем; и начинише;
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.
И онде остављаху верно прилоге и десетке и ствари посвећене; и над тим беше поглавар Хонанија Левит и Симеј брат му, други до њега.
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.
А Јехило и Азазија и Нахат и Асаило и Јеримот и Јозавад и Елило и Исмахија и Мат и Венаја беху настојници под руком Хонаније и брата му Симеја по наредби цара Језекије и Азарије старешине у дому Божијем.
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.
А Кореј син Јемне Левита, вратар на истоку, беше над оним што се драговољно приношаше Богу, да би раздељивао принос Господњи и ствари свете над светим.
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.
А под њим беше Еден и Минијамин и Исус и Семаја и Амарија и Сеханија по градовима свештеничким, људи поуздани, да раздају браћи својој делове, великом и малом,
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.
Осим мушких у роду њиховом од три године и више, свакоме који улажаше у дом Господњи на посао свакидашњи по дужности њиховој у служби њиховој по реду њиховом,
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.
И онима који бише избројани у роду свештеничком по домовима отаца њихових, и Левитима од двадесет година и више по служби њиховој по редовима њиховим,
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.
И породици њиховој, свој деци њиховој, женама њиховим, синовима њиховим и кћерима њиховим, свему мноштву; јер се верно посветише светињи;
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.
И синовима Ароновим свештеницима у подграђима градова њихових, по свим градовима, људи именовани даваху делове сваком мушкарцу између свештеника и свакоме рода левитског.
20 Hezekiah did this throughout all Judah. He accomplished what was good, right, and faithful before Yahweh, his God.
И тако учини Језекија у свој земљи Јудиној; и чињаше шта је добро и право и истинито пред Господом Богом његовим.
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.
И у сваком послу који поче за службу дома Божјег и у закону и у заповести тражећи Бога свог, труђаше се свим срцем својим, и срећан беше.
