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 eyes of Jehovah, 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 Jehovah, 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 broad place on the east,

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

⁵and said unto them, Hear me, ye Levites; now sanctify yourselves, and sanctify the house of Jehovah, the 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 sight of Jehovah our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of Jehovah, 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 Jehovah was upon Judah and Jerusalem, and he hath delivered them to be tossed to and fro, to be an astonishment, and a 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 my heart to make a covenant with Jehovah, the God of Israel, that his fierce anger 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 Jehovah hath chosen you to stand before him, to minister unto him, and that ye should be his ministers, 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 Jehallelel; 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 Jeuel; 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, Jehuel 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 went in, according to the commandment of the king by the words of Jehovah, to cleanse the house of Jehovah.

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

¹⁶And the priests went in unto the inner part of the house of Jehovah, to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of Jehovah into the court of the house of Jehovah. And the Levites took it, to carry it out abroad to 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 Jehovah; and they sanctified the house of Jehovah in eight days: and on 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 within [the palace], and said, We have cleansed all the house of Jehovah, and the altar of burnt-offering, with all the vessels thereof, and the table of showbread, 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 when he trespassed, have we prepared and sanctified; and, behold, they are before the altar of Jehovah.

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 arose early, and gathered the princes of the city, and went up to the house of Jehovah.

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 Jehovah.

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: and they killed the rams, and sprinkled the blood upon the altar: they killed also the lambs, and 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 near the he-goats for the sin-offering before the king and the assembly; 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 a sin-offering with their blood upon the altar, to make 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 Jehovah 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 the commandment was of Jehovah 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 Jehovah began also, and the trumpets, together with the instruments of 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 assembly worshipped, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded; 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 praises unto Jehovah 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 Jehovah; come near and bring sacrifices and thank-offerings into the house of Jehovah. And the assembly brought in sacrifices and thank-offerings; and as many as were of a willing heart [brought] 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 assembly brought was threescore and ten bullocks, a hundred rams, and two hundred lambs: all these were for a burnt-offering to Jehovah.

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 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 with the drink-offerings for every burnt-offering. So the service of the house of Jehovah 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, because of that which God had prepared for 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.
