¹Hezekiah began to reign when he was five and twenty years old, and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.

¹Hiskija oli kuningaks saades kakskümmend viis aastat vana ja ta valitses Jeruusalemmas kakskümmend üheksa aastat; ta ema nimi oli Abija, Sakarja tütar.

²And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that David his father had done.

²Tema tegi, mis õige oli Issanda silmis, kõigiti nõnda, nagu ta isa Taavet oli teinud.

³He in the first year of his reign, in the first month, opened the doors of the house of the LORD, and repaired them.

³Oma valitsemise esimese aasta esimeses kuus avas ta Issanda koja uksed ja parandas need.

⁴And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them together into the east street,

⁴Ja ta laskis tulla preestrid ja leviidid ning kogus need idapoolsele väljakule.

⁵And said unto them, Hear me, ye Levites, sanctify now yourselves, and sanctify the house of the LORD God of your fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the holy place.

⁵Ta ütles neile: 'Kuulge mind, leviidid! Pühitsege nüüd iseendid ja pühitsege Issanda, oma vanemate Jumala koda ja viige saast pühamust välja!

⁶For our fathers have trespassed, and done that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of the LORD, and turned their backs.

⁶Sest meie vanemad on üle astunud ja kurja teinud Issanda, meie Jumala silmis ja on tema maha jätnud. Nad pöörasid ära oma palge Issanda elamu poolt ja pöörasid selja.

⁷Also they have shut up the doors of the porch, and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense nor offered burnt offerings in the holy place unto the God of Israel.

⁷Nad sulgesid ka eeskoja uksed ja kustutasid lambid; nad ei toonud suitsutusohvreid ega ohverdanud pühamus põletusohvreid Iisraeli Jumalale.

⁸Wherefore the wrath of the LORD was upon Judah and Jerusalem, and he hath delivered them to trouble, to astonishment, and to hissing, as ye see with your eyes.

⁸Seepärast tabas Issanda viha Juudat ja Jeruusalemma ja ta tegi need ehmatuse, hirmu ja vilistamise põhjuseks, nagu te oma silmaga näete.

⁹For, lo, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this.

⁹Jah, vaata, meie isad on langenud mõõga läbi ja meie pojad, meie tütred ja meie naised on sellepärast vangi viidud.

¹⁰Now it is in mine heart to make a covenant with the LORD God of Israel, that his fierce wrath may turn away from us.

¹⁰Nüüd on mul südame peal teha leping Issandaga, Iisraeli Jumalaga, et ta tuline viha meilt pöörduks.

¹¹My sons, be not now negligent: for the LORD hath chosen you to stand before him, to serve him, and that ye should minister unto him, and burn incense.

¹¹Mu pojad, ärge nüüd puhake, sest Issand on teid valinud seisma tema ees, teda teenima ja olema temale teenreiks ning suitsutajaiks!'

¹²Then the Levites arose, Mahath the son of Amasai, and Joel the son of Azariah, of the sons of the Kohathites: and of the sons of Merari, Kish the son of Abdi, and Azariah the son of Jehalelel: and of the Gershonites; Joah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joah:

¹²Siis leviidid Mahat, Amaasai poeg, ja Joel, Asarja poeg, Kehati poegadest; ja Merari poegadest Kiis, Abdi poeg, ja Asarja, Jehalleleeli poeg; ja geersonlastest Joah, Simma poeg, ja Eeden, Joahi poeg;

¹³And of the sons of Elizaphan; Shimri, and Jeiel: and of the sons of Asaph; Zechariah, and Mattaniah:

¹³ja Elisafani poegadest Simri ja Jeiel; ja Aasafi poegadest Sakarja ja Mattanja;

¹⁴And of the sons of Heman; Jehiel, and Shimei: and of the sons of Jeduthun; Shemaiah, and Uzziel.

¹⁴ja Heemani poegadest Jehiel ja Simei; ja Jedutuuni poegadest Semaja ja Ussiel,

¹⁵And they gathered their brethren, and sanctified themselves, and came, according to the commandment of the king, by the words of the LORD, to cleanse the house of the LORD.

¹⁵võtsid kätte, kogusid oma vennad, pühitsesid endid ja läksid, nagu kuningas Issanda sõna kohaselt oli käskinud, Issanda koda puhastama.

¹⁶And the priests went into the inner part of the house of the LORD, to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of the LORD into the court of the house of the LORD. And the Levites took it, to carry it out abroad into the brook Kidron.

¹⁶Aga preestrid läksid Issanda koja siseruumi puhastama ja tõid kõik saasta, mis nad Issanda templist leidsid, Issanda koja õue; ja leviidid võtsid selle ning viisid välja Kidroni jõkke.

¹⁷Now they began on the first day of the first month to sanctify, and on the eighth day of the month came they to the porch of the LORD: so they sanctified the house of the LORD in eight days; and in the sixteenth day of the first month they made an end.

¹⁷Nad hakkasid pühitsema esimese kuu esimesel päeval ja jõudsid kuu kaheksandal päeval Issanda koja eeskotta; nad pühitsesid Issanda koda kaheksa päeva ja lõpetasid esimese kuu kuueteistkümnendal päeval.

¹⁸Then they went in to Hezekiah the king, and said, We have cleansed all the house of the LORD, and the altar of burnt offering, with all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread table, with all the vessels thereof.

¹⁸Siis nad läksid kuningas Hiskija juurde sisse ja ütlesid: 'Me oleme puhastanud kogu Issanda koja, põletusohvrialtari ja kõik selle riistad.

¹⁹Moreover all the vessels, which king Ahaz in his reign did cast away in his transgression, have we prepared and sanctified, and, behold, they are before the altar of the LORD.

¹⁹Nõndasamuti oleme korda seadnud ja pühitsenud kõik riistad, mis kuningas Aahas oma valitsemisajal oli ära visanud, kui ta truudust murdis, ja vaata, need on Issanda altari ees.'

²⁰Then Hezekiah the king rose early, and gathered the rulers of the city, and went up to the house of the LORD.

²⁰Siis kuningas Hiskija tõusis järgmisel hommikul vara ja kogus linna ülemad ning läks üles Issanda kotta.

²¹And they brought seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven he goats, for a sin offering for the kingdom, and for the sanctuary, and for Judah. And he commanded the priests the sons of Aaron to offer them on the altar of the LORD.

²¹Ja nad tõid seitse härjavärssi, seitse jäära, seitse oinastalle ja seitse sikku patuohvriks kuningakoja, pühamu ja Juuda eest. Ja ta käskis Aaroni poegi, preestreid, et nad ohverdaksid need Issanda altaril.

²²So they killed the bullocks, and the priests received the blood, and sprinkled it on the altar: likewise, when they had killed the rams, they sprinkled the blood upon the altar: they killed also the lambs, and they sprinkled the blood upon the altar.

²²Siis nad tapsid veised ja preestrid võtsid vere ning piserdasid altarile; ja nad tapsid jäärad ning piserdasid vere altarile; siis nad tapsid oinastalled ning piserdasid vere altarile.

²³And they brought forth the he goats for the sin offering before the king and the congregation; and they laid their hands upon them:

²³Seejärel toodi patuohvri sikud kuninga ja koguduse ette, ja nad panid oma käed nende peale.

²⁴And the priests killed them, and they made reconciliation with their blood upon the altar, to make an atonement for all Israel: for the king commanded that the burnt offering and the sin offering should be made for all Israel.

²⁴Ja preestrid tapsid need ning ohverdasid nende vere patuohvriks altaril lepituse tegemiseks kogu Iisraeli eest, sest kuningas oli käskinud ohverdada põletus- ja patuohvri kogu Iisraeli eest.

²⁵And he set the Levites in the house of the LORD with cymbals, with psalteries, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, and of Gad the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet: for so was the commandment of the LORD by his prophets.

²⁵Ja ta asetas leviidid Issanda kotta simblite, naablite ja kanneldega Taaveti ja kuninga nägija Gaadi ja prohvet Naatani käsu kohaselt; sest see oli Issanda käsk tema prohvetite läbi.

²⁶And the Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.

²⁶Ja leviidid astusid ette Taaveti mänguriistadega ning preestrid pasunatega.

²⁷And Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt offering upon the altar. And when the burnt offering began, the song of the LORD began also with the trumpets, and with the instruments ordained by David king of Israel.

²⁷Ja Hiskija käskis ohverdada põletusohvreid altaril; ja kui ohverdamine algas, siis algas Issanda-laul ja pasunate puhumine Iisraeli kuninga Taaveti mänguriistade saatel.

²⁸And all the congregation worshipped, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded: and all this continued until the burnt offering was finished.

²⁸Ja terve kogudus kummardas, laul kõlas ja pasunad puhusid - see kõik kestis, kuni põletusohver oli ohverdatud.

²⁹And when they had made an end of offering, the king and all that were present with him bowed themselves, and worshipped.

²⁹Ja kui ohverdamine oli lõpetatud, siis põlvitasid kuningas ja kõik, kes tema juures olid, ja kummardasid.

³⁰Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praise unto the LORD with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshipped.

³⁰Ja kuningas Hiskija ning ülemad käskisid leviite Issandat kiita Taaveti ja nägija Aasafi sõnadega; ja nad kiitsid rõõmsasti, põlvitasid ja kummardasid.

³¹Then Hezekiah answered and said, Now ye have consecrated yourselves unto the LORD, come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into the house of the LORD. And the congregation brought in sacrifices and thank offerings; and as many as were of a free heart burnt offerings.

³¹Siis Hiskija võttis sõna ja ütles: 'Nüüd olete teie oma käe täitnud Issandale. Astuge ette ja tooge tapa- ja tänuohvreid Issanda kojale!' Ja kogudus tõi tapa- ja tänuohvreid, ja igaüks, kes tahtis, põletusohvreid.

³²And the number of the burnt offerings, which the congregation brought, was threescore and ten bullocks, an hundred rams, and two hundred lambs: all these were for a burnt offering to the LORD.

³²Koguduse toodud põletusohvrite arv oli seitsekümmend veist, sada jäära, kakssada oinastalle - need kõik olid põletusohvriks Issandale.

³³And the consecrated things were six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep.

³³Ja pühitsetud ande oli kuussada veist ning kolm tuhat lammast ja kitse.

³⁴But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all the burnt offerings: wherefore their brethren the Levites did help them, till the work was ended, and until the other priests had sanctified themselves: for the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests.

³⁴Aga preestreid oli vähe ja nad ei suutnud nülgida kõiki põletusohvreid; siis aitasid neid nende vennad leviidid, kuni töö oli tehtud ja kuni preestrid olid endid pühitsenud, sest leviidid olid agaramad olnud endid pühitsema kui preestrid.

³⁵And also the burnt offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace offerings, and the drink offerings for every burnt offering. So the service of the house of the LORD was set in order.

³⁵Ka põletusohvreid oli palju koos tänuohvri rasvadega ja põletusohvri joogiohvritega. Nõnda taastati Issanda koja teenistus.

³⁶And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, that God had prepared the people: for the thing was done suddenly.

³⁶Ja Hiskija ning kogu rahvas olid rõõmsad selle pärast, mis Jumal oli rahvale valmistanud, sest see asi oli sündinud hõlpsasti.
