2 Chronicles 31

1 When all this had ended, the Israelites in attendance went out to the cities of Judah and broke up the sacred pillars, chopped down the Asherah poles, and tore down the high places and altars throughout Judah and Benjamin, as well as in Ephraim and Manasseh, until they had utterly destroyed them all. Then all the Israelites returned to their cities, each to his own property.

1 当一切都办妥后，所有在场的以色列人就前往犹大各城邑，砸碎神柱，砍倒亚舍拉神像，又拆毁犹大、便雅悯、以法莲、玛拿西境内所有的丘坛和祭坛，然后各自返回自己的城邑和家园。

2 Hezekiah reestablished the divisions of the priests and Levites—each of them according to their duties as priests or Levites—for the burnt offerings and peace offerings, for ministry, for giving thanks, and for singing praises at the gates of the LORD’s dwelling.

2 希西迦分派祭司和利未人的班次，使他们各司其职，献上燔祭和平安祭，在耶和华殿门内事奉，称谢、颂赞耶和华。

3 The king contributed from his own possessions for the regular morning and evening burnt offerings and for the burnt offerings on the Sabbaths, New Moons, and appointed feasts, as written in the Law of the LORD.

3 王又从自己的产业中划分出一部分作为早晚的燔祭，以及安息日、朔日和耶和华律法规定的其他节期的燔祭。

4 Moreover, he commanded the people living in Jerusalem to make a contribution for the priests and Levites so that they could devote themselves to the Law of the LORD.

4 他又吩咐耶路撒冷的居民将祭司和利未人当得的份交给他们，好使他们专心执行耶和华的律法。

5 As soon as the order went out, the Israelites generously provided the firstfruits of the grain, new wine, oil, and honey, and of all the produce of the field, and they brought in an abundance—a tithe of everything.

5 谕旨一出，以色列人就献出许多初熟的五谷、新酒、新油、蜂蜜、田间的出产等各样物品的十分之一，数量极多。

6 And the Israelites and Judahites who lived in the cities of Judah also brought a tithe of their herds and flocks and a tithe of the holy things consecrated to the LORD their God, and they laid them in large heaps.

6 住在犹大各城的以色列人和犹大人也送来牛羊的十分之一，以及献给他们的上帝耶和华的圣物，就是十一奉献，把它们堆积成堆。

7 In the third month they began building up the heaps, and they finished in the seventh month.

7 他们从三月开始堆积，到七月才结束。

8 When Hezekiah and his officials came and viewed the heaps, they blessed the LORD and His people Israel.

8 希西迦与众官员来了，看见堆积起来的供物，就称颂耶和华，又为耶和华的以色列子民祝福。

9 Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and Levites about the heaps,

9 希西迦向祭司和利未人询问这些供物的事，

10 and Azariah, the chief priest of the household of Zadok, answered him, “Since the people began to bring their contributions into the house of the LORD, we have had enough to eat, and there is plenty left over, because the LORD has blessed His people; this great abundance is what is left over.”

10 撒督家族的亚撒利雅大祭司回答说：“自从民众把这些供物送到耶和华的殿里以来，我们不但吃得饱，还剩下许多。因为耶和华赐福给祂的子民，所以才有这么多剩余。”

11 Then Hezekiah commanded them to prepare storerooms in the house of the LORD, and they did so.

11 于是，希西迦下令在耶和华的殿里预备库房。他们预备好后，

12 And they faithfully brought in the contributions, tithes, and dedicated gifts. Conaniah the Levite was the officer in charge of them, and his brother Shimei was second.

12 便忠心地把供物、十一奉献和圣物放进库房。利未人歌楠雅总管这事，他的兄弟示每做助手。

13 Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismachiah, Mahath, and Benaiah were overseers under the authority of Conaniah and his brother Shimei, by appointment of King Hezekiah and of Azariah the chief official of the house of God.

13 耶歇、亚撒细雅、拿哈、亚撒黑、耶利摩、约撒拔、以列、伊斯玛基雅、玛哈和比拿雅做监督协助歌楠雅和他兄弟示每，他们都是希西迦王和管理上帝殿的亚撒利雅指派的。

14 Kore son of Imnah the Levite, the keeper of the East Gate, was in charge of the freewill offerings given to God, distributing the contributions to the LORD and the consecrated gifts.

14 看守东门的利未人音拿的儿子可利，负责管理民众自愿献给上帝的礼物，以及分发献给耶和华的供物和至圣的祭物。

15 Under his authority, Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah faithfully distributed portions to their fellow priests in their cities, according to their divisions, old and young alike.

15 伊甸、珉雅珉、耶书亚、示玛雅、亚玛利雅和示迦尼雅在祭司所在的各城忠心地协助可利，按照班次，不分老幼，将物品分给他们的弟兄。

16 In addition, they distributed portions to the males registered by genealogy who were three years of age or older—to all who would enter the house of the LORD for their daily duties for service in the responsibilities of their divisions—

16 此外，他们还分给三岁及三岁以上、名字记在家谱上、每天在耶和华的殿中按班次供职的男子，

17 and to the priests enrolled according to their families in the genealogy, as well as to the Levites twenty years of age or older, according to their responsibilities and divisions.

17 并分给按宗族登记在家谱上的祭司，按班次和职任分给二十岁及二十岁以上的利未人，

18 The genealogy included all the little ones, wives, sons, and daughters of the whole assembly. For they had faithfully consecrated themselves as holy.

18 也按照家谱分给他们的妻子儿女，因为他们诚心洁净自己。

19 As for the priests, the descendants of Aaron, who lived on the farmlands around each of their cities or in any other city, men were designated by name to distribute a portion to every male among the priests and to every Levite listed by the genealogies.

19 至于住在各城郊野做祭司的亚伦子孙，各城都有指定的人把应得之份分给祭司中所有的男子和登记在家谱上的利未人。

20 So this is what Hezekiah did throughout Judah. He did what was good and upright and true before the LORD his God.

20 希西迦在犹大全境都如此行，做他的上帝耶和华视为良善、正直和忠心的事。

21 He acted with all his heart in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, and in the law and the commandments, in order to seek his God. And so he prospered.

21 无论是在上帝的殿中事奉，还是遵行律法和诫命，他都寻求他的上帝，尽心去做。因此，他行事顺利。
