2 Tawarikh 31
1 Setelah perayaan selesai, seluruh rakyat pergi ke setiap kota di Yehuda, lalu menghancurkan tugu-tugu berhala, menumbangkan patung-patung yang didirikan untuk Dewi Asyera, dan memusnahkan mezbah-mezbah serta tempat-tempat penyembahan berhala. Mereka melakukan begitu juga di tempat-tempat lain di Yehuda, serta di wilayah Benyamin, Efraim, dan Manasye. Sesudah itu mereka semua pulang ke tempat mereka masing-masing.
NOW when all this was finished, all Israel that were present went out to the cities of Judah, and brake the images in pieces, and cut down the groves, and threw down the high places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim also and Manasseh, until they had utterly destroyed them all. Then all the children of Israel returned, every man to his possession, into their own cities.
2 Raja Hizkia menetapkan kembali regu-regu para imam dan orang Lewi menurut pembagian tugas mereka. Tugas-tugas itu meliputi hal-hal berikut: mempersembahkan kurban bakaran dan kurban perdamaian, melayani upacara ibadat di Rumah TUHAN, dan memuji serta mengucap terima kasih kepada TUHAN di pelbagai tempat di dalam Rumah TUHAN.
And Hezekiah appointed the courses of the priests and the Levites after their courses, every man according to his service, the priests and Levites for burnt offerings and for peace offerings, to minister, and to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the tents of the Lord.
3 Dari ternaknya sendiri raja menyumbang binatang-binatang yang diperlukan untuk kurban bakaran setiap pagi dan setiap sore, dan untuk kurban yang dipersembahkan pada hari Sabat, pada perayaan Bulan Baru, dan pada perayaan-perayaan lain seperti yang ditentukan dalam hukum-hukum TUHAN.
He appointed also the king’s portion of his substance for the burnt offerings, to wit, 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.
4 Selain itu raja menyuruh penduduk Yerusalem membawa persembahan yang ditentukan bagi para imam dan orang Lewi, supaya mereka dapat mencurahkan seluruh perhatian mereka kepada pelayanan di Rumah TUHAN seperti yang tercantum dalam hukum-hukum TUHAN.
Moreover he commanded the people that dwelt in Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might be encouraged in the law of the Lord.
5 Setelah perintah itu diumumkan, orang Israel membawa ke Rumah TUHAN pemberian-pemberian dari hasil bumi mereka yang pertama, yaitu terigu, anggur, minyak zaitun, madu, dan hasil bumi lainnya. Mereka juga membawa sepersepuluh bagian dari milik mereka.
And as soon as the commandment came abroad, the children of Israel brought in abundance the firstfruits of corn, wine, and oil, and honey, and of all the increase of the field; and the tithe of all things brought they in abundantly.
6 Semua orang yang tinggal di kota-kota Yehuda membawa sepersepuluh bagian dari ternak sapi dan domba mereka, dan juga sejumlah besar pemberian-pemberian lain, lalu mempersembahkan semuanya itu kepada TUHAN Allah mereka.
And concerning the children of Israel and Judah, that dwelt in the cities of Judah, they also brought in the tithe of oxen and sheep, and the tithe of holy things which were consecrated unto the Lord their God, and laid them by heaps.
7 Pemberian-pemberian itu mulai berdatangan pada bulan tiga, dan terus mengalir sampai bulan tujuh.
In the third month they began to lay the foundation of the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month.
8 Melihat sumbangan yang sebanyak itu, Raja Hizkia dan pegawai-pegawainya memuliakan TUHAN dan memuji rakyat Israel, umat-Nya.
And when Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed the Lord, and his people Israel.
9 Ketika raja berbicara dengan para imam dan orang Lewi tentang pemberian-pemberian itu,
Then Hezekiah questioned with the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps.
10 Imam Agung Azarya keturunan Zadok berkata, "Sejak rakyat mengantarkan persembahan-persembahan mereka ke Rumah TUHAN, kami tidak kekurangan makanan, malah kelebihan, sehingga masih banyak persediaan makanan kami. Semua itu kami terima karena TUHAN telah memberkati umat-Nya."
And 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 the Lord, we have had enough to eat, and have left plenty: for the Lord hath blessed his people; and that which is left is this great store.
11 Atas perintah raja, mereka menyiapkan gudang-gudang di sekitar Rumah TUHAN,
Then Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the house of the Lord; and they prepared them,
12 lalu menyimpan semua pemberian dan sepersepuluhan itu di dalam gudang-gudang itu. Seorang Lewi yang bernama Konanya, ditugaskan menjadi pengawas, dan Simei adiknya dijadikan pembantunya.
And brought in the offerings and the tithes and the dedicated things faithfully: over which Cononiah the Levite was ruler, and Shimei his brother was the next.
13 Di bawah pimpinan mereka ada 10 orang Lewi lain yang ditugaskan, yaitu: Yehiel, Azazya, Nahat, Asael, Yerimot, Yozabad, Eliel, Yismakhya, Mahat, dan Benanya. Semua hal itu ditetapkan atas petunjuk Raja Hizkia dan Imam Agung Azarya.
And Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath, and Asahel, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Ismachiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah, were overseers under the hand of Cononiah and Shimei his brother, at the commandment of Hezekiah the king, and Azariah the ruler of the house of God.
14 Kore anak Yimna, seorang Lewi yang menjadi pengawal kepala pada Pintu Gerbang Timur di Rumah TUHAN, diserahi tanggung jawab untuk menerima pemberian-pemberian yang dipersembahkan kepada TUHAN, lalu membagi-bagikannya.
And Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the porter toward the east, was over the freewill offerings of God, to distribute the oblations of the Lord, and the most holy things.
15 Di kota-kota lain tempat kediaman imam-imam, Kore dibantu oleh orang-orang Lewi lain yaitu: Eden, Minyamin, Yesua, Semaya, Amarya, dan Sekhanya. Bahan-bahan makanan itu dibagi sama rata di antara sesama suku Lewi baik yang tua maupun yang muda menurut tugas mereka.
And next him were Eden, and Miniamin, and Jeshua, and Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, in their set office, to give to their brethren by courses, as well to the great as to the small:
16 Semua orang laki-laki yang berumur tiga puluh tahun ke atas, yang mendapat giliran tugas setiap hari di Rumah TUHAN, juga diberi bagiannya masing-masing menurut tugasnya dan menurut regunya.
Beside their genealogy of males, from three years old and upward, even unto every one that entereth into the house of the Lord, his daily portion for their service in their charges according to their courses;
17 Para imam didaftarkan menurut kaumnya, dan orang Lewi yang berumur 20 tahun ke atas didaftarkan menurut tugasnya dan regunya.
Both to the genealogy of the priests by the house of their fathers, and the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in their charges by their courses;
18 Mereka semua didaftarkan bersama-sama dengan anak istri, dan anggota-anggota lain dalam rumah tangganya, sebab mereka diharuskan bersiap sedia setiap saat untuk melaksanakan tugas-tugas mereka yang khusus untuk TUHAN.
And to the genealogy of all their little ones, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, through all the congregation: for in their set office they sanctified themselves in holiness:
19 Di antara imam-imam yang tinggal di kota-kota yang ditentukan untuk keturunan Harun, atau di padang-padang di sekitar kota-kota itu, ditunjuk petugas-petugas untuk membagi-bagikan bahan makanan kepada semua orang laki-laki dalam keluarga imam, dan kepada setiap orang yang terdaftar dalam suku Lewi.
Also of the sons of Aaron the priests, which were in the fields of the suburbs of their cities, in every several city, the men that were expressed by name, to give portions to all the males among the priests, and to all that were reckoned by genealogies among the Levites.
20 Di seluruh Yehuda, Raja Hizkia menjalankan keadilan, berlaku jujur, dan menyenangkan hati TUHAN Allahnya.
And thus did Hezekiah throughout all Judah, and wrought that which was good and right and truth before the Lord his God.
21 Ia berhasil, karena segala yang dibuatnya untuk Rumah TUHAN atau untuk mentaati hukum-hukum TUHAN, dijalankannya dengan sepenuh hati dan dengan cinta kepada TUHAN Allahnya.
And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart, and prospered.
