¹In ko je bilo vse to opravljeno, so šli vsi Izraelci, ki so bili navzočni, v mesta Judova in so strli poslikane stebre ter posekali Ašere in razvalili višave in oltarje po vsem Judovem in Benjaminovem, tudi po Efraimovem in Manasejevem, da so jih vse zatrli. Tedaj so se vrnili vsi sinovi Izraelovi, vsak na svoj dom, v svoje mesto.

¹And at the completion of all this, gone out have all Israel who are found present to the cities of Judah, and break the standing-pillars, and cut down the shrines, and break down the high places and the altars, out of all Judah and Benjamin, and in Ephraim and Manasseh, even to completion, and all the sons of Israel turn back, each to his Possession, to their cities.

²Ezekija pa je postavil oddelke duhovnikov in levitov po njih vrstah, vsakega pri službi njegovi, oboje, duhovnike in levite, za darovanje žgalščin in mirovnih daritev, da bi služili in zahvaljevali in hvalili med vrati tabora GOSPODOVEGA.

²And Hezekiah appointeth the courses of the priests, and of the Levites, by their courses, each according to his service, of the priests and of the Levites, for burnt-offering, and for peace-offerings, to minister, and to give thanks, and to give praise in the gates of the camps of Jehovah.

³In kralj je dal del svojega imetja za žgalščine, da se darujejo zjutraj in zvečer, ob sobotah in mlajih in ob določenih praznikih, kakor je pisano v zakonu Mojzesovem.

³And a portion of the king, from his substance, [is] for burnt-offerings, for burnt-offerings of the morning, and of the evening, and the burnt-offerings of sabbaths, and of new moons, and of appointed seasons, as it is written in the law of Jehovah.

⁴Zapovedal je tudi ljudstvu, ki prebiva v Jeruzalemu, naj dajo deleže duhovnikom in levitom, da bi se mogli marljivo pečati s postavo GOSPODOVO.

⁴And he saith to the people, to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to give the portion of the priests, and of the Levites, so that they are strengthened in the law of Jehovah;

⁵In ko se je to razglasilo, brž so sinovi Izraelovi dali obilo prvin žita, vina, olja in medu in vse poljščine, in prinašali so desetino vsega v obilici.

⁵and at the spreading forth of the thing have the sons of Israel multiplied the first-fruit of corn, new wine, and oil, and honey, and of all the increase of the field, and the tithe of the whole in abundance they have brought in.

⁶In sinovi Izraelovi in Judovi, ki so prebivali v Judovih mestih, so tudi pripeljali desetino goved in drobnice in desetino posvečenih reči, ki so bile posvečene GOSPODU, njih Bogu, in so jih pokladali na kupe.

⁶And the sons of Israel and Judah, those dwelling in cities of Judah, they also a tithe of herd and flock, and a tithe of the holy things that are sanctified to Jehovah their God, have brought in, and they give -- heaps, heaps;

⁷V tretjem mesecu so začeli skladati kupe in v sedmem mesecu so jih dovršili.

⁷in the third month they have begun to lay the foundation of the heaps, and in the seventh month they have finished.

⁸In Ezekija in knezi so prišli in, videč kupe, so hvalili GOSPODA in ljudstvo njegovo, Izraela.

⁸And Hezekiah and the heads come in and see the heaps, and bless Jehovah and His people Israel,

⁹In Ezekija je vprašal duhovnike in levite o teh kupih.

⁹and Hezekiah inquireth at the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps,

¹⁰In Azarija, prvi duhovnik, iz hiše Zadokove, mu odgovori in reče: Odkar so začeli nositi darila v hišo GOSPODOVO, smo jedli in dosti imeli in obilo je še ostalo, zakaj GOSPOD je blagoslovil ljudstvo svoje; in ta velika zaloga je preostala.

¹⁰and Azariah the head priest, of the house of Zadok, speaketh unto him, and saith, `From the beginning of the bringing of the heave-offering to the house of Jehovah, [there is] to eat, and to be satisfied, and to leave abundantly, for Jehovah hath blessed His people, and that left [is] this store.'

¹¹Tedaj Ezekija zapove, naj pripravijo shramb v hiši GOSPODOVI; in so jih pripravili.

¹¹And Hezekiah saith to prepare chambers in the house of Jehovah, and they prepare,

¹²In vanje denejo zvesto darila in desetine in posvečene reči. In višji nadzornik temu je bil Konanija, levit, in Simej, brat njegov, je bil drugi;

¹²and they bring in the heave-offering, and the tithe, and the holy things faithfully; and over them is a leader, Conaniah the Levite, and Shimei his brother [is] second;

¹³Jehiel pa in Azazija, Nahat, Asahel, Jerimot, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismahija, Mahat in Benaja so bili nadzorniki pod roko Konanija in Simeja, brata njegovega, po naredbi kralja Ezekija in Azarija, poglavarja hiše Božje.

¹³and Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath, and Asahel, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Ismachiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah, [are] inspectors under the hand of Conaniah and Shimei his brother, by the appointment of Hezekiah the king, and Azariah leader of the house of God.

¹⁴In Kore, sin Jimnov, levit, vratar na vzhodnih vratih, je bil nad prostovoljnimi darovi Bogu, da razdeljuje darila GOSPODOVA in presvete reči.

¹⁴And Kore son of Imnah the Levite, the gatekeeper at the east, [is] over the willing-offerings of God, to give the heave-offering of Jehovah, and the most holy things.

¹⁵In pod njim so bili Eden, Miniamin, Jesua, Semaja, Amarija in Sekanija po duhovniških mestih, katerim je bilo poverjeno, da dajo deleže svojim bratom po njih oddelkih, malim enako kakor velikim

¹⁵And by his hand [are] Eden, and Miniamin, and Jeshua, and Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shechaniah, in cities of the priests, faithfully to give to their brethren in courses, as the great so the small,

¹⁶(razen tistih od njih svojcev, triletnih in starejših, ki so bili zapisani v rodopis moških), vsem, ki so hodili v hišo GOSPODOVO, kakor je zahtevala vsakdanja dolžnost, na službo po svojih opravilih, po svojih oddelkih,

¹⁶apart from their genealogy, to males from a son of three years and upward, to every one who hath gone in to the house of Jehovah, by the matter of a day in its day, for their service in their charges, according to their courses;

¹⁷enako tistim, ki so bili zapisani v rodopis duhovnikov po svojih očetovinah, kakor tudi levitom, dvajsetletnim in starejšim, z ozirom na njih službe, po njih oddelkih,

¹⁷and the genealogy of the priests by the house of their fathers, and of the Levites, from a son of twenty years and upward, in their charges, in their courses;

¹⁸in tistim, ki so bili zapisani v rodopise od vseh njih otročičev, njih žen, njih sinov in hčerá, po vsej občini. Kajti v svoji zvestobi so se posvetili, da bodo sveti.

¹⁸and to the genealogy among all their infants, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters to all the congregation, for in their faithfulness they sanctify themselves in holiness.

¹⁹Tudi za sinove Aronove, duhovnike, po njivah v okraju njih mest, so bili v vsakem posameznem mestu postavljeni možje, po imenu določeni, da dajo vsakemu moškemu med duhovniki in vsakemu v rodopis zapisanemu levitu deleže.

¹⁹And to sons of Aaron, the priests, in the fields of the suburb of their cities, in every city and city, [are] men who have been defined by name, to give portions to every male among the priests, and to every one who reckoned himself by genealogy among the Levites.

²⁰In takisto je naredil Ezekija po vsem Judovem. In delal je, kar je bilo dobro in prav in zvesto pred GOSPODOM, Bogom njegovim.In vse svoje delo, ki ga je začel v službi hiše Božje in po postavi in zapovedi, da bi iskal svojega Boga, je delal iz vsega srca svojega, in šlo mu je po sreči.

²⁰And Hezekiah doth thus in all Judah, and doth that which is good, and that which is right, and that which is true, before Jehovah his God;

²¹In vse svoje delo, ki ga je začel v službi hiše Božje in po postavi in zapovedi, da bi iskal svojega Boga, je delal iz vsega srca svojega, in šlo mu je po sreči.

²¹and in every work that he hath begun for the service of the house of God, and for the law, and for the command, to seek to his God, with all his heart he hath wrought and prospered.
