¹Now when all this was finished, all Israel that were present went out to the cities of Judah, and brake in pieces the pillars, and hewed down the Asherim, and brake 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.

¹Kui see kõik oli lõpetatud, siis läks kogu kohalolev Iisrael välja Juuda linnadesse; ja nad purustasid ebaususambad, raiusid katki viljakustulbad ning kiskusid maha ohvrikünkad ja altarid kogu Juudas, Benjaminis, Efraimis ja Manasses, kuni kõik oli hävitatud. Siis läksid kõik Iisraeli lapsed tagasi, igaüks oma pärisosale, oma linnadesse.

²And Hezekiah appointed the courses of the priests and the Levites after their courses, 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 Jehovah.

²Ja Hiskija seadis preestrite ja leviitide rühmad rühmade viisi, igaühe vastavalt teenistusele, mis preestritele ja leviitidele oli ette nähtud, tooma põletus- ja tänuohvreid, teenima, tänama ja kiitma Issanda leeri väravais.

³[He appointed] also the king's portion of his substance for the burnt-offerings, [to wit], 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 Jehovah.

³Ja kuninga poolt oli toetus tema isiklikust omandist põletusohvrite tarvis: hommikusteks ja õhtusteks põletusohvriteks ja põletusohvriteks hingamispäevil, noorkuupäevil ja pühil, nõnda nagu Issanda Seaduses on kirjutatud.

⁴Moreover he commanded the people that dwelt in Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might give themselves to the law of Jehovah.

⁴Ja ta käskis rahvast, kes elas Jeruusalemmas, anda preestritele ja leviitidele nende osa, et nad püsiksid Issanda Seaduses.

⁵And 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.

⁵Ja kui see käsk oli laiali läinud, siis tõid Iisraeli lapsed palju uudsesaaki viljast, veinist, õlist ja meest ning igasugu põllusaadustest; nad tõid rohkesti kümnist kõigest.

⁶And the children of Israel and Judah, that dwelt in the cities of Judah, they also brought in the tithe of oxen and sheep, and the tithe of dedicated things which were consecrated unto Jehovah their God, and laid them by heaps.

⁶Ja Iisraeli ja Juuda lapsed, kes elasid Juuda linnades, needki tõid kümnist veistest ning lammastest ja kitsedest, samuti kümnist pühadest andidest, mis olid pühitsetud Issandale, nende Jumalale, ja panid selle kuhjadesse.

⁷In the third month they began to lay the foundation of the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month.

⁷Nad hakkasid panema kuhjadesse kolmandas kuus ja lõpetasid seitsmendas kuus.

⁸And when Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed Jehovah, and his people Israel.

⁸Kui Hiskija ja vürstid tulid ning nägid kuhje, siis nad kiitsid Issandat ja tema rahvast Iisraeli.

⁹Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps.

⁹Ja kui Hiskija küsitles preestreid ja leviite nende kuhjade kohta,

¹⁰And Azariah the chief priest, of the house of Zadok, answered him and said, Since [the people] began to bring the oblations into the house of Jehovah, we have eaten and had enough, and have left plenty: for Jehovah hath blessed his people; and that which is left is this great store.

¹⁰siis vastas temale ülempreester Asarja, Saadoki soost, ja ütles: 'Sellest alates, kui Issanda kotta hakati tooma tõstelõivu, oleme söönud ja meie kõhud on täis, ja veelgi on palju järele jäänud; sest Issand on õnnistanud oma rahvast ja nõnda on see suur kogus üle jäänud.'

¹¹Then Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the house of Jehovah; and they prepared them.

¹¹Siis Hiskija käskis kambrid Issanda kojas korda seada; ja kui need olid korda seatud,

¹²And they brought in the oblations and the tithes and the dedicated things faithfully: and over them Conaniah the Levite was ruler, and Shimei his brother was second.

¹²siis viidi tõstelõiv, kümnis ja pühad annid hoolsasti sisse. Nende ülevaatajaks sai leviit Konanja; ja tema vend Simei oli teiseks.

¹³And Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath, and Asahel, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Ismachiah, 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 the house of God.

¹³Ja Jehiel, Asasja, Nahat, Asael, Jerimot, Joosabad, Eliel, Jismakja, Mahet ja Benaja olid ametnikud Konanja ja tema venna Simei käe all kuningas Hiskija ja Jumala koja eestseisja Asarja määramise kohaselt.

¹⁴And Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the porter at the east [gate], was over the freewill-offerings of God, to distribute the oblations of Jehovah, and the most holy things.

¹⁴Ja leviit Koore, Jimna poeg, idapoolse värava hoidja, oli Jumalale toodavate vabatahtlike andide hooldaja, kes pidi jaotama Issanda tõstelõivu ja kõige pühamaid ande.

¹⁵And under him were Eden, and Miniamin, and Jeshua, and Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, in their office of trust, to give to their brethren by courses, as well to the great as to the small:

¹⁵Ja tema käe all olid Eeden, Minjamin, Jeesua, Semaja, Amarja ja Sekanja, kes pidid preestrite linnades ustavalt jaotama oma vendadele, niihästi vanemaile kui nooremaile rühmade kaupa,

¹⁶besides them that were reckoned by genealogy of males, from three years old and upward, even every one that entered into the house of Jehovah, as the duty of every day required, for their service in their offices according to their courses;

¹⁶vastavalt nende suguvõsakirja kandmisele, meessoost kolmeaastased ja üle selle, kõigile, kes pidid tulema Issanda kotta igapäevast teenistuskohustust täitma oma rühmade kaupa.

¹⁷and them that were reckoned by genealogy of the priests by their fathers' houses, and the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in their offices by their courses;

¹⁷Ja preestrid kanti suguvõsakirja nende perekondade kaupa, aga leviidid, kahekümneaastased ja üle selle, vastavalt nende teenistuskohustustele rühmade kaupa.

¹⁸and them that 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.

¹⁸Nad kanti suguvõsakirja kõigi oma laste, naiste, poegade ja tütardega, terve kogudusena, sest oma ametikohustuse tõttu said nad pühitsetuiks.

¹⁹Also for the sons of Aaron the priests, that were in the fields of the suburbs of their cities, in every city, there were men that were mentioned by name, to give portions to all the males among the priests, and to all that were reckoned by genealogy among the Levites.

¹⁹Ja Aaroni poegadel, preestritel, kes elasid oma karjamaalinnade väljadel, olid igas linnas nimeliselt määratud mehed, kes pidid osa kätte andma igale meesterahvale preestrite hulgas ja igale suguvõsakirja kantud leviidile.

²⁰And thus did Hezekiah throughout all Judah; and he wrought that which was good and right and faithful before Jehovah his God.

²⁰Nõnda tegi Hiskija kogu Juudas; ta tegi, mis oli hea, õige ja kohus Issanda, tema Jumala ees.

²¹And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart, and prospered.

²¹Ja iga tööd, mida ta alustas, et otsida oma Jumalat, olgu Jumala koja teenistuses või Seaduse ja käskudega seoses, tegi ta kõigest südamest ja see läks tal korda.
