2 Tawarikh 31
1 Setelah semuanya ini diakhiri, seluruh orang Israel yang hadir pergi ke kota-kota di Yehuda, lalu meremukkan segala tugu berhala, menghancurkan segala tiang berhala, dan merobohkan segala bukit pengorbanan dan mezbah di seluruh Yehuda dan Benyamin, juga di Efraim dan Manasye, sampai musnah semuanya. Kemudian pulanglah seluruh orang Israel ke kota-kotanya, ke miliknya masing-masing.
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.
2 Hizkia menetapkan rombongan para imam dan orang-orang Lewi, rombongan demi rombongan, masing-masing menurut tugas jabatannya sebagai imam atau sebagai orang Lewi, untuk mempersembahkan korban bakaran dan korban keselamatan, untuk mengucap syukur dan menyanyikan puji-pujian dan untuk melayani di pintu-pintu gerbang di tempat perkemahan TUHAN.
Hezekiah appointed the divisions of the cohanim and the Levites after their divisions, every man according to his service, both the cohanim 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.
3 Raja memberi sumbangan dari harta miliknya untuk korban bakaran, yakni: korban bakaran pada waktu pagi dan pada waktu petang, korban bakaran pada hari-hari Sabat dan pada bulan-bulan baru dan pada hari-hari raya, yang semuanya tertulis di dalam Taurat TUHAN.
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.
4 Ia memerintahkan rakyat, yakni penduduk Yerusalem, untuk memberikan sumbangan yang menjadi bagian para imam dan orang-orang Lewi, supaya mereka dapat mencurahkan tenaganya untuk melaksanakan Taurat TUHAN.
Moreover he commanded the people who lived in Jerusalem to give the portion of the cohanim and the Levites, that they might give themselves to the law of the LORD.
5 Segera setelah perintah ini tersiar, orang Israel membawa dalam jumlah yang besar hasil pertama dari pada gandum, anggur, minyak, madu dan segala macam hasil bumi. Mereka membawa juga persembahan persepuluhan dari segala sesuatu dalam jumlah yang besar.
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.
6 Orang Israel dan orang Yehuda yang tinggal di kota-kota Yehuda juga membawa persembahan persepuluhan yang terdiri dari lembu sapi dan kambing domba, dan persembahan persepuluhan yang terdiri dari persembahan kudus yang telah dikuduskan bagi TUHAN Allah mereka. Semuanya itu diletakkan mereka bertimbun-timbun.
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.
7 Mereka mulai membuat timbunan itu pada bulan yang ketiga, dan mereka selesai pada bulan yang ketujuh.
In the third month they began to lay the foundation of the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month.
8 Hizkia dan para pemimpin datang melihat timbunan itu, dan mereka memuji TUHAN dan umat-Nya, orang Israel.
And when Hezekiah and the leaders came and saw the heaps, they blessed the LORD, and his people Israel.
9 Hizkia menanyakan para imam dan orang-orang Lewi tentang timbunan itu,
Then Hezekiah questioned the cohanim and the Levites concerning the heaps.
10 dan dijawab oleh Azarya, imam kepala keturunan Zadok demikian: "Sejak persembahan khusus mulai dibawa ke rumah TUHAN, kami telah makan sekenyang-kenyangnya, namun sisanya masih banyak. Sebab TUHAN telah memberkati umat-Nya, sehingga tinggal sisa yang banyak ini."
Azariah the chief cohen, 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."
11 Kemudian Hizkia menyuruh menyediakan bilik-bilik di rumah TUHAN dan mereka menyediakannya.
Then Hezekiah commanded them to prepare rooms in the house of the LORD; and they prepared them.
12 Dan dengan setia mereka membawa segala persembahan khusus, persembahan persepuluhan dan persembahan-persembahan kudus itu ke sana. Konanya, seorang Lewi, mengawasi semuanya, dan Simei, saudaranya, adalah orang kedua,
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.
13 sedang Yehiel, Azazya, Nahat, Asael, Yerimot, Yozabad, Eliel, Yismakhya, Mahat dan Benanya adalah penilik di bawah Konanya dan Simei, saudaranya itu, sesuai dengan petunjuk raja Hizkia dan Azarya, kepala rumah Allah.
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.
14 Dan Kore bin Yimna, seorang Lewi, penunggu pintu gerbang di sebelah timur, mengawasi pemberian-pemberian sukarela untuk Allah, serta membagi-bagikan persembahan khusus yang untuk TUHAN dan persembahan-persembahan maha kudus.
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.
15 Di kota-kota imam ia dibantu dengan setia oleh Eden, Minyamin, Yesua, Semaya, Amarya dan Sekhanya dalam pembagian itu kepada saudara-saudara mereka menurut rombongan, kepada orang dewasa dan anak-anak,
Under him were Eden, and Miniamin, and Jeshua, and Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, alongside the cohanim, to faithfully make disbursements to their brothers by divisions, as well to the great as to the small:
16 kecuali kepada setiap orang yang masuk ke rumah TUHAN, menurut hari-hari yang ditetapkan, menurut tugas jabatan yang ditugaskan kepadanya, dan menurut rombongannya, yakni mereka yang tercatat dalam daftar sebagai laki-laki yang berumur tiga tahun ke atas.
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.
17 Para imam dicatat dalam daftar menurut puak-puak mereka, sedang orang-orang Lewi yang berumur dua puluh tahun ke atas dicatat menurut tugas dan rombongan mereka.
This is the enrollment of the cohanim by their fathers' houses, and the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in their offices by their divisions;
18 Para imam terdaftar dengan seluruh keluarga mereka, yakni isteri, anak laki-laki dan perempuan, seluruh kaum itu, karena dengan setia mereka menguduskan diri untuk persembahan kudus.
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.
19 Bagi keturunan Harun, yakni imam-imam, yang tinggal di padang-padang penggembalaan sekitar kota-kota mereka, di setiap kota ada orang-orang yang ditunjuk dengan disebut namanya, untuk mengadakan pembagian kepada setiap orang laki-laki dari keluarga imam dan kepada setiap orang Lewi yang terdaftar.
Also for the descendants of Aaron the cohanim, 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 cohanim, and to all who were reckoned by genealogy among the Levites.
20 Demikianlah perbuatan Hizkia di seluruh Yehuda. Ia melakukan apa yang baik, apa yang jujur, dan apa yang benar di hadapan TUHAN, Allahnya.
Hezekiah did so throughout all Judah; and he worked that which was good and right and faithful before the LORD his God.
21 Dalam setiap usaha yang dimulainya untuk pelayanannya terhadap rumah Allah, dan untuk pelaksanaan Taurat dan perintah Allah, ia mencari Allahnya. Semuanya dilakukannya dengan segenap hati, sehingga segala usahanya berhasil.
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.
