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 when he was twenty-five years old; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.

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

²He did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, 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 Yahweh, and repaired them.

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

⁴He brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them together into the broad place on the east,

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

⁵and said to them, “Listen to me, you Levites! Now sanctify yourselves, and sanctify the house of Yahweh, the God of your fathers, and carry out the filthiness out of the holy place.

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 trespassed, and done that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of Yahweh, and 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 burnt offerings in the holy place 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 Yahweh was on Judah and Jerusalem, and he has delivered them to be tossed back and forth, to be an astonishment, and a hissing, as you see with your eyes.

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

⁹For, 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 Yahweh, 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, don’t be negligent now; for Yahweh has chosen you to stand before him, to minister to him, and that you should be his ministers, and burn incense.”

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 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;

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

¹³and of the sons of Elizaphan, Shimri and Jeuel; 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, Jehuel 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.

¹⁵They gathered their brothers, and sanctified themselves, and went in, according to the commandment of the king by the words of Yahweh, to cleanse the house of Yahweh.

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.

¹⁶The priests went in to the inner part of the house of Yahweh, to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in Yahweh’s temple into the court of the house of Yahweh. The Levites took it, to carry it out abroad to 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.

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 Yahweh; and they sanctified the house of Yahweh in 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.

¹⁸Then they went in to Hezekiah the king within the palace, and said, “We have cleansed all the house of Yahweh, and the altar of burnt offering, with all its vessels, and the table of show bread, with 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.'

¹⁹Moreover all the vessels, which king Ahaz in his reign threw away when he trespassed, have we prepared and sanctified; and behold, they are before the altar of Yahweh.”

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

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

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.

²¹They brought seven bulls, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven male goats, for a sin offering for the kingdom and for the sanctuary and for Judah. He commanded the priests the sons of Aaron to offer them on the altar of Yahweh.

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.

²²So they killed the bulls, and the priests received the blood, and sprinkled it on the altar: and they killed the rams, and sprinkled the blood on the altar: they killed also the lambs, and sprinkled the blood on the altar.

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

²³They brought near the male goats for the sin offering before the king and the assembly; and they laid their hands on 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 killed them, and they made a sin offering with their blood on 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.

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.

²⁵He set the Levites in the house of Yahweh with cymbals, with stringed instruments, 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 Yahweh by his prophets.

²⁶Ja leviidid astusid ette Taaveti mänguriistadega ning preestrid pasunatega.

²⁶The 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.

²⁷Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt offering on the altar. When the burnt offering began, the song of Yahweh began also, and the trumpets, together with the instruments of David king of Israel.

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

²⁸All the assembly worshiped, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded; all this continued until the burnt offering was finished.

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

²⁹When they had made an end of offering, the king and all who were present with him bowed themselves and worshiped.

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

³⁰Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praises to Yahweh with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. They sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshiped.

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.

³¹Then Hezekiah answered, “Now you have consecrated yourselves to Yahweh; come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into the house of Yahweh.” The assembly brought in sacrifices and thank offerings; and as many as were of a willing heart brought burnt offerings.

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

³²The number of the burnt offerings which the assembly brought was seventy bulls, one hundred rams, and two hundred lambs: all these were for a burnt offering to Yahweh.

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

³³The consecrated things were six hundred head of cattle 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.

³⁴But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all the burnt offerings: therefore their brothers the Levites helped them, until 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.

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

³⁵Also 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 Yahweh was set in order.

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

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