2 Krönikeboken 31
1 Då detta alltså uträttadt var, drogo ut alle de Israeliter, som i Juda städer funne voro, och bröto ned stoderna, och höggo bort lundarna, och bröto ned höjderna och altaren, i hela Juda, BenJamin, Ephraim och Manasse, tilldess de gjorde en ända på dem. Och Israels barn drogo alle till sina ägor i sina städer igen.
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 Men Jehiskia ställde Presterna och Leviterna uti deras ordning, hvar och en efter sitt ämbete, både Prester och Leviter, till bränneoffer och tackoffer, att de skulle tjena, tacka och lofva, i portarna åt Herrans lägre.
Hezekiah appointed the divisions of the priests and the Levites after their divisions, every man according to his service, both the priests 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 Och Konungen gaf sin del af sina håfvor till bränneoffer, om morgon och om afton, och till bränneoffer om Sabbatherna, och nymånadom, och högtidom, efter som skrifvet står i Herrans lag.
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 Och han sade till folket, som i Jerusalem bodde, att de skulle gifva Presterna och Leviterna delar, att de måtte desto bättre akta på Herrans lag.
Moreover he commanded the people who lived in Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might give themselves to the law of the LORD.
5 Och då det talet kom ut, gåfvo Israels barn mycken förstling af säd, vin, oljo, hannog och allahanda årsväxt på markene; och allahanda tiond förde de in, ganska mycket.
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 Förde också Israels barn och Juda, som i Juda städer bodde, tiond fram af fä och får, och tiond af det helgada som de Herranom sinom Gud helgat hade, och lade en hop här, och en hop der.
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 Uti tredje månadenom begynte de att lägga hoparna, och i sjunde månadenom lyktade de det.
In the third month they began to lay the foundation of the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month.
8 Och då Jehiskia med de öfversta ingingo, och sågo hoparna, lofvade de Herran, och hans folk Israel;
And when Hezekiah and the leaders came and saw the heaps, they blessed the LORD, and his people Israel.
9 Och Jehiskia frågade Presterna och Leviterna om hoparna.
Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps.
10 Och Asaria Presten, den ypperste i Zadoks hus, sade till honom: Ifrå den tid man begynte införa häfoffret i Herrans hus, hafve vi ätit och äre mätte vordne, och här är ännu mycket qvart; förty Herren hafver välsignat sitt folk; derföre är denne hopen öfverblefven.
Azariah the chief priest, 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 Då befallde Konungen, att de skulle reda till kistor i Herrans hus; och de tillredde dem;
Then Hezekiah commanded them to prepare rooms in the house of the LORD; and they prepared them.
12 Och lade derin häfoffret, tionden, och det helgada, på sina tro. Och öfver det samma var skickad Chanania den Leviten, och Simei hans broder den andre;
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 Och Jehiel, Asasia, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Josabad, Eliel, Jismacha, Mahath och Benaja, förskickade af Chanania och Simei hans broders hand, efter Konungens Jehiskia befallning. Men Asaria var öfverste i Guds hus.
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 Och Kore, Jimna son, den Leviten, den dörravaktaren östantill, var öfver de friviljoga Guds gåfvor, som Herranom till häfoffer gifna vordo, och öfver det aldrahelgasta.
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 Och under hans hand voro Eden, Minjamin, Jesua, Semaja, Amaria och Sechania, uti Presternas städer, på sina tro; att de skulle gifva sina bröder efter deras ordning, dem minsta såsom dem största;
Under him were Eden, and Miniamin, and Jeshua, and Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, alongside the priests, to faithfully make disbursements to their brothers by divisions, as well to the great as to the small:
16 Desslikes dem som för manspersoner räknade vordo, tre åra gamle, och derutöfver, ibland alla dem som uti Herrans hus gingo, hvar på sin dag till sitt ämbete, och i sine vakt efter sitt skifte;
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 Sammalunda dem som för Prester räknade vordo, i deras fäders hus, och Leviterna, ifrå tjugu år och derutöfver, i deras vakt efter deras skifte;
This is the enrollment of the priests by their fathers' houses, and the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in their offices by their divisions;
18 Dertill dem som räknade vordo ibland deras barn, hustrur, söner och döttrar, i hela menighetene; förty de helgade på sina tro det helgada.
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 Voro också män vid namn nämnde ibland Aarons barn, Presterna uppå förstädernes mark, i alla städer, att de skulle del gifva alla manspersoner ibland Presterna, och allom dem som ibland Leviterna räknade vordo.
Also for the descendants of Aaron the priests, 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 priests, and to all who were reckoned by genealogy among the Levites.
20 Alltså gjorde Jehiskia i hela Juda, och gjorde det godt, rätt och sant var för Herranom sinom Gud.
Hezekiah did so throughout all Judah; and he worked that which was good and right and faithful before the LORD his God.
21 Och i all handel, som han tog sig före med Guds hus tjenste, efter lagen och buden, till att söka sin Gud, det gjorde han af allt hjerta; derföre gick han det ock väl igenom.
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.
