¹And when all this was finished, all Israel that were present went out to the cities of Judah, and broke the columns, and hewed down the Asherahs, and demolished the high places and the altars in all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim also and Manasseh, until they had destroyed them all. And all the children of Israel returned every man to his possession, into their cities.

¹Keď sa to všetko dokončilo, vyšli všetci synovia Izraelovi, ktorí sa tam nachádzali, do miest Júdových a rozlámali modlárske sochy a posekali háje a rozborili výšiny aj oltáre a odpratali to z celého Judska, Benjaminska, Efraimska a zo zeme Manassesovej až i všetko dokončili. Potom sa navrátili všetci synovia Izraelovi, každý do svojho državia, do svojich miest.

²And Hezekiah appointed the divisions of the priests, and the Levites after their divisions, every man according to his service, as well the priests as the Levites, for burnt-offerings and for peace-offerings, to serve and to give thanks and to praise in the gates of the courts of Jehovah.

²A tedy Ezechiáš zase postavil oddelenia kňazov a Levitov po ich oddeleniach, každého podľa jeho služby, z kňazov a Levitov k zápalným a pokojným obetiam, aby svätoslúžili, oslavovali a chválili v bránach vojsk Hospodinových.

³And [he ordered] that the king's portion [should be taken] from his substance for the burnt-offerings: for the morning and evening burnt-offerings, for the burnt-offerings of the sabbaths, and of the new moons, and of the set feasts, as it is written in the law of Jehovah.

³A čiastka kráľova z jeho majetku venovaná bola na zápalné obeti, na zápalné obeti ranné a večerné, i na zápalné obeti, predpísané na soboty, na novmesiace a na výročné slávnosti, jako je napísané v zákone Hospodinovom.

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

⁴A rozkázal ľudu, obyvateľom Jeruzalema, dávať čiastku, ustanovenú pre kňazov a Levitov, aby sa vzmužili v zákone Hospodinovom.

⁵And as soon as the commandment was published, the children of Israel gave in abundance the firstfruits of corn, new wine and oil and honey, and of all the increase of the field; and they brought in abundantly the tithe of all [things].

⁵A hneď, ako vyšiel rozkaz, nasnášali synovia Izraelovi mnoho prvotín obilia, vína, oleja, medu a všetkých úrod poľných i desiatku zo všetkého nadonášali hojne.

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

⁶Aj synovia Izraelovi a Júdovi, ktorí bývali v mestách Júdových, tí tiež donášali desiatok z volov a z drobného dobytka jako aj desiatok svätých vecí, ktoré boly zasvätené Hospodinovi, ich Bohu, a skladali to po hromadách.

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

⁷V treťom mesiaci začali zakladať tie hromady a v siedmom mesiaci dokončili.

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

⁸A keď prišli Ezechiáš a kniežatá a videli hromady, dobrorečili Hospodinovi i jeho ľudu Izraelovi.

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

⁹A Ezechiáš sa pýtal kňazov a Levitov o tých hromadách.

¹⁰And Azariah the chief priest of the house of Zadok spoke to him and said, Since they began to bring the heave-offerings into the house of Jehovah, we have eaten and been satisfied and have left plenty; for Jehovah has blessed his people; and what is left is this great store.

¹⁰A Azariáš, najvyšší kňaz z domu Cádokovho, mu odpovedal a riekol: Odkedy začali donášať obeť pozdvihnutia do domu Hospodinovho, vše sme jedli a nasýtili sme sa, a ešte zostáva hojne, lebo Hospodin požehnal svoj ľud, a čo zbudlo, je táto hromada.

¹¹And Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the house of Jehovah; and they prepared [them],

¹¹Vtedy rozkázal Ezechiáš pripraviť komory v dome Hospodinovom, a pripravili

¹²and brought in the heave-offerings and the tithes and the dedicated things faithfully; and over these Cononiah the Levite was ruler, and Shimei his brother was second.

¹²a ta potom vnášali obeť pozdvihnutia i desiatok i posvätené veci, a verne. A bol nad nimi za správcu Konaniáš, Levita, a Šimei, jeho brat bol druhý.

¹³And Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath, and Asahel, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Jismachiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah were overseers under the hand of Cononiah and Shimei his brother, at the command of Hezekiah the king and Azariah the ruler of the house of God.

¹³A Jechiel, Azaziáš, Nachat, Asahel, Jerimót, Jozabad, Eliel, Izmachiáš, Machat a Benaiáš boli úradníkmi pod správou Konaniáša a Šimeiho, jeho brata, z nariadenia kráľa Ezechiáša a Azariáša, vojvodu domu Božieho.

¹⁴And Kore the son of Jimnah the Levite, the doorkeeper toward the east, was over the voluntary-offerings of God, to distribute the heave-offerings of Jehovah, and the most holy things.

¹⁴A Kóre syn Jimnu, Levita, vrátny brány na východ, bol nad tým, čo dobrovoľne obetovali Bohu, aby rozdeľoval obeť pozdvihnutia Hospodinovu a sväté svätých.

¹⁵And under him were Eden and Miniamin and Jeshua and Shemaiah, Amariah and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, in [their] set trust, to make distributions to their brethren by [their] divisions, to the great as to the small,

¹⁵Jemu ku pomoci boli: Éden, Minjamin, Ješua, Šemaiáš, Amariáš a Šechaniáš po mestách kňazov, verní to mužovia, aby rozdeľovali svojim bratom po jednotlivých oddeleniach ako veľkému, tak malému,

¹⁶besides those from three years old and upward who as males were entered in the genealogical register, -- all that came into the house of Jehovah, as the duty of every day required, for their service in their charges, according to their divisions,

¹⁶krome zapísaných v ich rodokmeni, ktorí boli mužského pohlavia, vo veku od troch rokov a vyše, všetkým tým, ktorí prichádzali do domu Hospodinovho pre to, čo im pripádalo na ktorý ten deň, podľa ich služby v ich úlohách a podľa toho, jaké boly ich oddelenia,

¹⁷-- both to the priests enregistered according to their fathers' houses, and to the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in their charges, by their divisions;

¹⁷(A čo do rodokmeňa kňazov, podľa domu ich otcov, a Levitov, popísaní boli vo veku od dvadsiatich rokov a vyše podľa toho, čo bola ktorého úloha a ktoré ktorého oddelenie.)

¹⁸and to all their little ones, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, the whole congregation of those entered in the register; for in their trust they hallowed themselves to be holy.

¹⁸a aby dávali popísaným podľa rodu spolu so všetkými ich drobnými deťmi, s ich ženami, s ich synmi a s ich dcérami, celému shromaždeniu, lebo vo svojej vernosti sa posvätili, aby boli svätí.

¹⁹And for the sons of Aaron the priests who were in the country, in the suburbs of their cities, there were, in every several city, men expressed by name, to give portions to all the males among the priests, and to all the Levites that were entered in the register.

¹⁹Aj pre synov Áronových, kňazov, ktorí boli na vidieku obvodu svojich miest, vo všetkých jednotlivých mestách boli ustanovení mužovia, ktorí boli označení podľa mena, aby dávali čiastky všetkým mužského pohlavia medzi kňazmi jako i všetkým zapísaným podľa rodu medzi Levitami.

²⁰And thus did Hezekiah throughout Judah, and wrought what was good and right and true before Jehovah his God.

²⁰A tak urobil Ezechiáš po celom Judsku a urobil to, čo je dobré a spravedlivé, pravdivé a verné pred Hospodinom, svojím Bohom.

²¹And in every work that he undertook 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.

²¹V každom diele, ktoré začal v službe domu Božieho a v zákone a v prikázaní hľadajúc svojho Boha, to všetko robil celým svojím srdcom a dobre sa mu vodilo.
