< 2 Kroniška 31 >
1 Torej, ko je bilo vse to končano, je ves Izrael, ki je bil prisoten, odšel ven v Judova mesta in na koščke so razbili podobe, posekali ašere, podrli visoke kraje in oltarje iz vsega Juda in Benjamina, tudi v Efrájimu in Manáseju, dokler niso vseh uničili do konca. Potem so se vsi Izraelovi otroci vrnili, vsak mož k svoji posesti, v svoja lastna mesta.
Now when all this was over, all the men of Israel who were present went out into the towns of Judah, causing the stone pillars to be broken up and the wood pillars to be cut down, pulling down the high places and the altars in all Judah and Benjamin, as well as in Ephraim and Manasseh, till all were gone. Then all the children of Israel went back to their towns, every man to his property.
2 Ezekíja je določil skupine duhovnikov in Lévijevce po njihovih skupinah, vsakega moža glede na njegovo službo, duhovnike in Lévijevce, da služijo za žgalne daritve in za mirovne daritve, da se zahvaljujejo in da hvalijo v velikih vratih Gospodovih šotorov.
Then Hezekiah put in order the divisions of the priests and Levites, every man in his division, in relation to his work, for the burned offerings and peace-offerings, and for the ordering of worship and for giving praise at the doors of the Lord's house.
3 Določil je tudi kraljev delež njegovega imetja za žgalne daritve, namreč za jutranje in večerne žgalne daritve, za šabatne žgalne daritve, za mlaje in za določene praznike, kakor je to zapisano v Gospodovi postavi.
And he gave the king's part of his private property for the burned offerings, that is, for the morning and evening offerings, and the offerings for the Sabbath and the new moons and the regular feasts, as it is recorded in the law of the Lord.
4 Poleg tega je zapovedal ljudstvu, ki je prebivalo v Jeruzalemu, naj dajo delež duhovnikom in Lévijevcem, da bi bili lahko ohrabreni v Gospodovi postavi.
In addition, he gave orders to the people of Jerusalem to give to the priests and Levites that part which was theirs by right, so that they might be strong in keeping the law of the Lord.
5 Takoj, ko je bila zapoved razglašena, so Izraelovi otroci v obilju prinašali prvih sadov od žita, vina, olja, meda in od vsega donosa iz polja. Desetino od vseh stvari so prinašali v obilju.
And when the order was made public, straight away the children of Israel gave, in great amounts, the first-fruits of their grain and wine and oil and honey, and of the produce of their fields; and they took in a tenth part of everything, a great store.
6 Glede otrok iz Izraela in Juda, ki so prebivali v Judovih mestih, so tudi oni privedli desetino od volov in ovc in desetino od svetih stvari, ki so bile posvečene Gospodu, njihovemu Bogu in jih nalagali po kupih.
And the children of Israel and Judah, who were living in the towns of Judah came with the tenth part of their oxen and sheep, and a tenth of all the holy things which were to be given to the Lord their God, and put them in great masses.
7 V tretjem mesecu so začeli polagati temelj kupom in jih dokončali v sedmem mesecu.
The first store of things was put down in the third month, and in the seventh month the masses were complete.
8 Ko so Ezekíja in princi prišli in videli kupe, so blagoslovili Gospoda in njegovo ljudstvo Izrael.
And when Hezekiah and the rulers came and saw all the store of goods, they gave praise to the Lord and to his people Israel.
9 Potem je Ezekíja z duhovniki in Lévijevci spraševal glede teh kupov.
Then Hezekiah put questions to the priests and Levites about the store of goods.
10 Véliki duhovnik Azarjá iz Cadókove hiše mu je odgovoril in rekel: »Odkar je ljudstvo začelo prinašati daritve v Gospodovo hišo, smo imeli dovolj za jesti in obilje je preostalo, kajti Gospod je blagoslovil svoje ljudstvo in to, kar je ostalo, je ta velika zaloga.«
And Azariah, the chief priest, of the family of Zadok, said in answer, From the time when the people first came with their offerings into the house of the Lord, we have had food enough, and more than enough: for the blessing of the Lord is on his people; and there is this great store which has not been used.
11 Potem je Ezekíja zapovedal, da pripravijo sobe v Gospodovi hiši in pripravili so jih
Then Hezekiah said that store-rooms were to be made ready in the house of the Lord; and this was done.
12 in vanje so zvesto prinašali daritve, desetine in posvečene stvari, nad katerimi je bil poveljnik, Lévijevec Konanjá in njegov brat Šimí je bil naslednji.
And in them they put all the offerings and the tenths and the holy things, keeping nothing back, and over them was Conaniah the Levite, with Shimei his brother second to him.
13 Jehiél, Azazjá, Nahat, Asaél, Jerimót, Jozabád, Eliél, Jismahjá, Mahat in Benajá so bili nadzorniki pod roko Konanjája in njegovega brata Šimíja na zapoved kralja Ezekíja in Azarjája, poveljnika Božje hiše.
And Jehiel and Azaziah and Nahath and Asahel and Jerimoth and Jozabad and Eliel and Ismachiah and Mahath and Benaiah were overseers, under the directions of Conaniah and Shimei his brother, by the order of Hezekiah the king and Azariah, the ruler of the house of God.
14 Koré, sin Lévijevca Jimnáha, vratar proti vzhodu, je bil nad prostovoljnimi daritvami Bogu, da razdeljuje daritve Gospodu in najsvetejše stvari.
And Kore, the son of Imnah the Levite, the keeper of the east door, had control of the offerings freely given to God, and the distribution of the offerings of the Lord and the most holy things.
15 Poleg njega so bili Eden, Minjamín, Ješúa, Šemajá, Amarjá in Šehanjá v mestih duhovnikov, v svoji določeni službi, da dajo svojim bratom po skupinah, tako velikim kakor malim,
And under him were Eden and Miniamin and Jeshua and Shemaiah and Amariah and Shecaniah, in the towns of the priests, who were made responsible for giving it to all their brothers, by divisions, to small and great:
16 poleg njihovega rodovnika moških, starih od treh let in navzgor, celó vsak, kdor vstopa v Gospodovo hišo, njegov dnevni delež za njihovo službo po njihovih zadolžitvah, glede na njihove skupine.
As well as to all the males, of three years old and over, listed by their families, who went into the house of the Lord to do what was needed day by day, for their special work with their divisions.
17 Tako rodovnikom duhovnikov po hiši njihovih očetov kot Lévijevcem od dvajsetih let starosti in navzgor po njihovih zadolžitvah, po njihovih skupinah.
And the families of the priests were listed by their fathers' names, but the Levites, of twenty years old and over, were listed in relation to their work in their divisions;
18 In rodovnikom vseh njihovih malčkov, njihovih žen, njihovih sinov in njihovih hčera po vsej skupnosti, kajti v njihovi določeni službi so se posvetili v svetosti.
And in the lists were all their little ones and their wives and their sons and daughters, through all the people: they made themselves holy in the positions which they were given.
19 Tudi od sinov duhovnika Arona, ki so bili na poljih predmestij njihovih mest v vsakem posameznem mestu, možje, ki so bili določeni po imenu, da dajo deleže vsem moškim med duhovniki in vsem, ki so bili po rodovnikih prešteti med Lévijevci.
And as for the sons of Aaron, the priests, living in the country on the outskirts of their towns, every different town there were men, marked out by name, to give their part of the goods to all the males among the priests, and to all who were listed among the Levites.
20 Tako je storil Ezekíja po vsem Judu in delal to, kar je bilo dobro, pravilno in resnično pred Gospodom, svojim Bogom.
This Hezekiah did through all Judah; he did what was good and right and true before the Lord his God.
21 V vsakem delu, ki ga je začel v službi Božje hiše, v postavi in v zapovedih, da išče svojega Boga, je to počel z vsem svojim srcem in uspeval.
And for everything he undertook, in connection with the work of the house of God and his law and orders, he got directions from God and did it with serious purpose; and things went well for him.
