2-я Паралипоменон 31
1 И по окончании всего этого, пошли все Израильтяне, там находившиеся, в города Иудейские и разбили статуи, срубили посвященные дерева, и разрушили высоты и жертвенники во всей Иудее и в земле Вениаминовой, Ефремовой и Манассииной, до конца. И потом возвратились все сыны Израилевы, каждый во владение свое, в города свои.
After the festival ended, the Israelis who were there went to all the towns in Judah and smashed the stones/pillars [for worshiping idols], and cut down the poles [for worshiping the goddess] Asherah. They destroyed the shrines on the hilltops and the altars [of Baal] throughout the areas where the tribes of Judah and Benjamin lived, and also in the areas of the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh. After destroying all of them, they returned to their own towns.
2 И поставил Езекия череды священников и левитов, по их распределению, каждого при деле своем, священническом или левитском, при всесожжении и при жертвах мирных, для службы, для хваления и славословия, у ворот дома Господня.
Hezekiah divided the priests and [other] descendants of Levi into groups. He appointed some of the groups to offer sacrifices that would be completely burned [on the altar] and offerings to maintain fellowship [with Yahweh]. He appointed some groups to do other work at the temple: some to lead the people in their worship, some to thank Yahweh, and some to sing songs to praise to Yahweh at the gates of the temple.
3 И определил царь часть из имущества своего на всесожжения: на всесожжения утренние и вечерние, и на всесожжения в субботы и в новомесячия, и в праздники, как написано в законе Господнем.
The king contributed some of his own funds to buy animals that would be sacrificed in the morning and in the evening of each day, and on the Sabbath days, to celebrate the new moons, and during the other feasts, according to what was written in the laws [that Yahweh gave to Moses].
4 И повелел он народу, живущему в Иерусалиме, давать определенное содержание священникам и левитам, чтоб они были ревностны в законе Господнем.
Hezekiah told the people living in Jerusalem to give to the priests and the other descendants of Levi the portions [of meat] that should be given to them, in order that they could devote all their time to obeying the laws of Yahweh.
5 Когда обнародовано было это повеление, тогда нанесли сыны Израилевы множество начатков хлеба, вина, и масла, и меду, и всяких произведений полевых; и десятин из всего нанесли множество.
As soon as he told that to the people, they generously gave the first part of their harvest of grain, and the first part of the new wine [that they produced], and [olive] oil and honey, and of the crops that grew in their fields. They brought [to the temple] a tenth of all their crops.
6 И Израильтяне и Иудеи, живущие по городам Иудейским, также представили десятины из крупного и мелкого скота и десятины из пожертвований, посвященных Господу Богу их; и наложили груды, груды.
The men of Israel and Judah who were living in various towns in Judah also brought a tenth of their cattle and sheep and goats, and a tenth of other things that they had dedicated to Yahweh their God, and they piled all those things in heaps.
7 В третий месяц начали класть груды, и в седьмой месяц кончили.
They started to do that in May and finished doing it in September.
8 И пришли Езекия и вельможи, и увидели груды, и благодарили Господа и народ Его Израиля.
When Hezekiah and his officials saw the heaps, they praised Yahweh and [requested God to] bless the people.
9 И спросил Езекия священников и левитов об этих грудах.
But Hezekiah asked the priests and other descendants of Levi, “Why are these heaps of things here?”
10 И отвечал ему Азария первосвященник из дома Садокова и сказал: с того времени, как начали носить приношения в дом Господень, мы ели досыта, и многое осталось, потому что Господь благословил народ Свой. Из оставшегося составилось такое множество.
Then Azariah the [Supreme] Priest, a descendant of Zadok, replied, “Since the time that the people started to bring their offerings to the temple, we have had even more food than we need. This has happened because Yahweh has greatly blessed our fellow Israelis, with the result that all this is left over [after we priests and other descendants of Levi took all that we need]!”
11 И приказал Езекия приготовить комнаты при доме Господнем. И приготовили.
Then Hezekiah ordered that they should prepare storerooms in the temple. So they did that.
12 И перенесли туда приношения, и десятины, и пожертвования, со всею точностью. И был начальником при них Хонания левит, и Симей, брат его, вторым.
Then they brought into the storerooms all the tithes and offerings and the things dedicated to Yahweh [which the people had brought]. One of the descendants of Levi whose name was Conaniah was in charge of those things, and his [younger] brother Shimei was his assistant.
13 А Иехиил и Азазия, и Нахаф и Асаил, и Иеримоф и Иозавад, и Елиел и Исмахия, и Махаф и Бенания были смотрителями под рукою Хонании и Симея, брата его, по распоряжению царя Езекии и Азарии, начальника при доме Божием.
Those two men supervised Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismakiah, Mahath and Benaiah while they did the work. They were appointed by King Hezekiah; Azariah was in charge of [everything that was done in] the temple.
14 Коре, сын Имны, левит, привратник на восточной стороне, был при добровольных приношениях Богу, для выдачи принесенного Господу и важнейших из вещей посвященных.
Kore the son of Imnah, another descendant of Levi, who guarded the east gate of the temple, was in charge of the offerings to God that were made voluntarily. He distributed to the priests and [other] descendants of Levi the offerings and other things that were dedicated to Yahweh.
15 И под его ведением находились Еден, и Миниамин, и Иешуа, и Шемаия, и Амария и Шехания в городах священнических, чтобы верно раздавать братьям своим части, как большому, так и малому,
Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah and Shecaniah faithfully assisted him in the towns where the priests lived. They distributed those things to the groups of their fellow priests; they distributed them to everyone, from the youngest to the oldest.
16 сверх списка их, всем мужеского пола от трех лет и выше, всем ходящим в дом Господа для дел ежедневных, для служения их, по должностям их и по отделам их,
They also distributed things to the males who were at least 30 years old, those whose names were written on the scrolls where lists of family names were written. They were males who [were allowed to] enter the temple to perform their tasks/work each day, the tasks that each group had been assigned to do.
17 и внесенным в список священникам, по поколениям их, и левитам от двадцати лет и выше, по должностям их, по отделам их,
The names of the priests were on the scrolls where their clans’ names were written. They also distributed things to groups of [other] descendants of Levi, those who were at least 20 years old.
18 и внесенным в список, со всеми малолетними их, с женами их и с сыновьями их и с дочерями их, - всему обществу, ибо они со всею верностью посвятили себя на священную службу.
They included all their little children and wives and other sons and daughters whose names were on the scrolls where their clans’ names were written, because they also faithfully had dedicated themselves to Yahweh.
19 И для сынов Аароновых, священников в селениях вокруг городов их, при каждом городе поставлены были мужи поименованные, чтобы раздавать участки всем мужеского пола у священников и всем внесенным в список у левитов.
[Hezekiah] also appointed other men to distribute portions of those offerings to the priests and other descendants of Levi who were living in the pasturelands around the towns in Judah. But they gave things only to those who were descendants of Aaron [the first Supreme Priest], whose names were on the scrolls containing the names of their clans.
20 Вот что сделал Езекия во всей Иудее, - и он делал доброе, и справедливое, и истинное пред лицем Господа Бога своего.
That is what Hezekiah did throughout Judah. He always faithfully did things that Yahweh his God considered to be right and good.
21 И во всем, что он предпринимал на служение дому Божию и для соблюдения закона и заповедей, помышляя о Боге своем, он действовал от всего сердца своего и имел успех.
In everything that he did for the worship in the temple, and as he obeyed God’s laws and commands, he tried to find out what his God wanted, and he worked energetically. So he was successful.
