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

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

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

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

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

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

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

⁴And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them into the open place eastward;

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

⁵and he said to them, Hear me, ye Levites: hallow yourselves now, and hallow the house of Jehovah the God of your fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the sanctuary.

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.

⁶For our fathers have transgressed, and done evil in the sight of Jehovah our God, and have forsaken him and turned away their faces from the habitation of Jehovah, and have turned their backs.

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

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

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

⁸Therefore the wrath of Jehovah has been upon Judah and Jerusalem, and he has delivered them to vexation, to desolation, and to hissing, as ye see with your eyes.

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

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

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

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.

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

¹¹My sons, be not now negligent; for Jehovah has chosen you to stand before him, to do service unto him, and to be his ministers and incense-burners.

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;

¹²Then the Levites rose up, 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 Jehalleleel; and of the Gershonites, Joah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joah;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

¹⁶And the priests went into the inner part of the house of Jehovah to cleanse it, and carried forth 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 forth into the brook Kidron.

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.

¹⁷And they began on the first of the first month to hallow, and on the eighth day of the month they came to the porch of Jehovah; and they hallowed the house of Jehovah eight days; and on the sixteenth day of the first month they made an end.

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

¹⁸And they went in to king Hezekiah, and said, We have cleansed all the house of Jehovah, and the altar of burnt-offering with all its vessels, and the table of the [bread] to be set in rows, and all its vessels;

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.'

¹⁹and all the vessels that king Ahaz in his reign cast away in his transgression have we prepared and hallowed, and behold, they are before the altar of Jehovah.

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

²⁰And Hezekiah the king arose early, and gathered the princes of the city, and went up to the house 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.

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] upon the altar of Jehovah.

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.

²²And they slaughtered the bullocks, and the priests received the blood, and sprinkled it on the altar; and they slaughtered the rams, and sprinkled the blood on the altar; and they slaughtered the lambs, and sprinkled the blood on the altar.

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

²³And they brought near the he-goats of the sin-offering before the king and the congregation; and they laid their hands upon them.

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.

²⁴And the priests slaughtered them, and they made purification for sin with their blood upon the altar, to make an atonement for all Israel; because for all Israel, said the king, is the burnt-offering and the sin-offering.

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.

²⁵And he set the Levites in the house of Jehovah with cymbals, with lutes, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, and of Gad the king's seer, and of Nathan the prophet; for the commandment was of Jehovah through his prophets.

²⁶Ja leviidid astusid ette Taaveti mänguriistadega ning preestrid pasunatega.

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

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

²⁷And Hezekiah commanded to offer up the burnt-offering on the altar. And at the moment the burnt-offering began, the song of Jehovah began, and the trumpets, accompanied by the instruments of David king of Israel.

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

²⁸And all the congregation worshipped, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded, all [the time] until the burnt-offering was finished.

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

²⁹And when they had ended offering the burnt-offering, the king and all that were present with him bowed themselves and worshipped.

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

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

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.

³¹And Hezekiah answered and said, Now ye have consecrated yourselves to Jehovah, 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 willing heart, burnt-offerings.

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

³²And the number of the burnt-offerings, which the congregation brought, was seventy bullocks, a hundred rams, two hundred lambs: all these were for a burnt-offering to Jehovah.

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

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

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.

³⁴Only the priests were too few, and they could not flay all the burnt-offerings; therefore their brethren the Levites helped them, until the work was ended, and until the priests had hallowed themselves; for the Levites were more upright in heart to hallow themselves than the priests.

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

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

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

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