历代志下 31
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
毀棄一切偶像(A)
31 這一切都作完了，所有在那裡的以色列人就都出去，到猶大的各城，打碎神柱，砍下亞舍拉；又在猶大、便雅憫、以法蓮和瑪拿西各地，把邱壇和祭壇完全拆毀。然後以色列眾人都各回各城，各歸自己的地業去了。
獻祭的條例
2 希西家指派祭司和利未人的班次，使祭司和利未人照著自己的班次，各按各職獻燔祭和平安祭，又在耶和華殿門內事奉，稱謝和讚美耶和華。 3 王又在自己的財物中定出一份作燔祭，就是早晚的燔祭，安息日、月朔和節期的燔祭，都是照著耶和華律法上所記的。 4 王又吩咐住在耶路撒冷的人民，要把祭司和利未人應得的一份給他們，使他們專心執行耶和華的律法。
什一奉獻
5 這命令一發出，以色列人就送來很多初熟的五穀、新酒、油和蜜，以及田間各樣的出產，又把各物品的十分之一，大批送來。 6 住在猶大各城的以色列人和猶大人，也把牛羊的十分之一，和分別為聖歸耶和華他們的 神的聖物的十分之一，都送了來，囤積成堆。 7 從三月開始囤積，到七月才完畢。 8 希西家和眾領袖來了，看見這些囤積物品，就稱頌耶和華，又為耶和華的子民以色列祝福。 9 希西家向祭司和利未人詢問這些囤積物品的時候， 10 撒督家的大祭司亞撒利雅回答他，說：“自從人民把供物送進耶和華殿以來，我們就可以吃飽，並且還有很多剩下來。因為耶和華賜福給他的子民，所以剩下的才這樣豐盛。”
預備倉房和分配供物
11 希西家吩咐人在耶和華的殿裡預備倉房，他們就預備了。 12 他們很忠心地把供物、各物品的十分之一和分別為聖之物，都搬進倉裡去。利未人歌楠雅總管這些物品，他的兄弟示每作副總管。 13 耶歇、亞撒細雅、拿哈、亞撒黑、耶利末、約撒拔、以利、伊斯瑪基雅、瑪哈、比拿雅在歌楠雅和他的兄弟示每手下，負責監督的工作，他們都是由希西家王和神殿的總管亞撒利雅委派的。 14 看守東門的利未人音拿的兒子可利，掌管自願獻給 神的禮物，分發獻與耶和華的供物和至聖之物。 15 在他手下有伊甸、珉雅珉、耶書亞、示瑪雅、亞瑪利雅和示迦尼雅，在祭司的各城裡，按著班次，無論大小，把供物分發給他們的親族。 16 此外，按著家譜，三十歲（“三十歲”原文作“三歲”）及以上的男子：凡是每日按著班次，照著本分進耶和華的殿供職的，也分發給他們。 17 又分發給按著家族登記在家譜上的祭司，也按著班次職責分給二十歲及以上的利未人。 18 又按照家譜的登記，分給他們的全體的小孩、妻子和兒女，因為他們忠心地自潔成聖。 19 至於住在各城郊野作祭司的亞倫的子孫，在各城裡都有按名字指定的人，把應得的分分發給祭司中所有的男子，和所有登記在家譜中的利未人。
希西家行耶和華喜悅的
20 希西家在猶大全地都這樣行，他在耶和華他的 神面前行良善、正直和誠實的事。 21 他經辦的一切事，無論是關於神殿的事奉，或是關於律法和誡命的遵行，他都尋求他的 神。因為他盡心去行，所以盡都順利。
2 Chronicles 31
King James Version
31 Now when all this was finished, all Israel that were present went out to the cities of Judah, and brake the images in pieces, and cut down the groves, and threw down the high places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim also and Manasseh, until they had utterly destroyed them all. Then all the children of Israel returned, every man to his possession, into their own cities.
2 And Hezekiah appointed the courses of the priests and the Levites after their courses, every man according to his service, the priests and Levites for burnt offerings and for peace offerings, to minister, and to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the tents of the Lord.
3 He appointed also the king's portion of his substance for the burnt offerings, to wit, for the morning and evening burnt offerings, and the burnt offerings for the sabbaths, and for the new moons, and for the set feasts, as it is written in the law of the Lord.
4 Moreover he commanded the people that dwelt in Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might be encouraged in the law of the Lord.
5 And as soon as the commandment came abroad, the children of Israel brought in abundance the firstfruits of corn, wine, and oil, and honey, and of all the increase of the field; and the tithe of all things brought they in abundantly.
6 And concerning the children of Israel and Judah, that dwelt in the cities of Judah, they also brought in the tithe of oxen and sheep, and the tithe of holy things which were consecrated unto the Lord their God, and laid them by heaps.
7 In the third month they began to lay the foundation of the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month.
8 And when Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed the Lord, and his people Israel.
9 Then Hezekiah questioned with the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps.
10 And Azariah the chief priest of the house of Zadok answered him, and said, Since the people began to bring the offerings into the house of the Lord, we have had enough to eat, and have left plenty: for the Lord hath blessed his people; and that which is left is this great store.
11 Then Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the house of the Lord; and they prepared them,
12 And brought in the offerings and the tithes and the dedicated things faithfully: over which Cononiah the Levite was ruler, and Shimei his brother was the next.
13 And Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath, and Asahel, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Ismachiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah, were overseers under the hand of Cononiah and Shimei his brother, at the commandment of Hezekiah the king, and Azariah the ruler of the house of God.
14 And Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the porter toward the east, was over the freewill offerings of God, to distribute the oblations of the Lord, and the most holy things.
15 And next him were Eden, and Miniamin, and Jeshua, and Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, in their set office, to give to their brethren by courses, as well to the great as to the small:
16 Beside their genealogy of males, from three years old and upward, even unto every one that entereth into the house of the Lord, his daily portion for their service in their charges according to their courses;
17 Both to the genealogy of the priests by the house of their fathers, and the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in their charges by their courses;
18 And to the genealogy of all their little ones, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, through all the congregation: for in their set office they sanctified themselves in holiness:
19 Also of the sons of Aaron the priests, which were in the fields of the suburbs of their cities, in every several city, the men that were expressed by name, to give portions to all the males among the priests, and to all that were reckoned by genealogies among the Levites.
20 And thus did Hezekiah throughout all Judah, and wrought that which was good and right and truth before the Lord his God.
21 And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart, and prospered.
2 Chronicles 31
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
Pagan Shrines Destroyed
31 Now when all this was finished, all Israel who were present went out to the cities of Judah and broke down the pillars, hewed down the sacred poles,[a] and pulled down the high places and the altars throughout all Judah and Benjamin, and in Ephraim and Manasseh, until they had destroyed them all. Then all the people of Israel returned to their cities, all to their individual properties.
2 Hezekiah appointed the divisions of the priests and of the Levites, division by division, everyone according to his service, the priests and the Levites, for burnt offerings and offerings of well-being, to minister in the gates of the camp of the Lord and to give thanks and praise. 3 The contribution of the king from his own possessions was for the burnt offerings: the burnt offerings of morning and evening, and the burnt offerings for the sabbaths, the new moons, and the appointed festivals, as it is written in the law of the Lord. 4 He commanded the people who lived in Jerusalem to give the portion due to the priests and the Levites, so that they might devote themselves to the law of the Lord. 5 As soon as the word spread, the people of Israel gave in abundance the first fruits of grain, wine, oil, honey, and of all the produce of the field; and they brought in abundantly the tithe of everything. 6 The people of Israel and Judah who lived in the cities of Judah also brought in the tithe of cattle and sheep, and the tithe of the dedicated things that had been consecrated to the Lord their God, and laid them in heaps. 7 In the third month they began to pile up the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month. 8 When Hezekiah and the officials came and saw the heaps, they blessed the Lord and his people Israel. 9 Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites about the heaps. 10 The chief priest Azariah, who was of the house of Zadok, answered him, “Since they began to bring the contributions into the house of the Lord, we have had enough to eat and have plenty to spare; for the Lord has blessed his people, so that we have this great supply left over.”
Reorganization of Priests and Levites
11 Then Hezekiah commanded them to prepare store-chambers in the house of the Lord; and they prepared them. 12 Faithfully they brought in the contributions, the tithes and the dedicated things. The chief officer in charge of them was Conaniah the Levite, with his brother Shimei as second; 13 while Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismachiah, Mahath, and Benaiah were overseers assisting Conaniah and his brother Shimei, by the appointment of King Hezekiah and of Azariah the chief officer of the house of God. 14 Kore son of Imnah the Levite, keeper of the east gate, was in charge of the freewill offerings to God, to apportion the contribution reserved for the Lord and the most holy offerings. 15 Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah were faithfully assisting him in the cities of the priests, to distribute the portions to their kindred, old and young alike, by divisions, 16 except those enrolled by genealogy, males from three years old and upwards, all who entered the house of the Lord as the duty of each day required, for their service according to their offices, by their divisions. 17 The enrollment of the priests was according to their ancestral houses; that of the Levites from twenty years old and upwards was according to their offices, by their divisions. 18 The priests were enrolled with all their little children, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, the whole multitude; for they were faithful in keeping themselves holy. 19 And for the descendants of Aaron, the priests, who were in the fields of common land belonging to their towns, town by town, the people designated by name were to distribute portions to every male among the priests and to everyone among the Levites who was enrolled.
20 Hezekiah did this throughout all Judah; he did what was good and right and faithful before the Lord his God. 21 And every work that he undertook in the service of the house of God, and in accordance with the law and the commandments, to seek his God, he did with all his heart; and he prospered.

Reina-Valera 1995
31 Hechas todas estas cosas, todos los de Israel que habían estado allí salieron por las ciudades de Judá, quebraron las estatuas, destruyeron las imágenes de Asera y derribaron los lugares altos y los altares por todo Judá y Benjamín, así como en Efraín y Manasés, hasta acabarlo todo. Después regresaron todos los hijos de Israel a sus ciudades, cada uno a su posesión.
Reorganización del servicio de sacerdotes y levitas
2 Arregló Ezequías la distribución de los sacerdotes y de los levitas conforme a sus turnos, cada uno según su oficio sacerdotal o levítico, para ofrecer el holocausto y las ofrendas de paz, para que ministraran, dieran gracias y alabaran dentro de las puertas de los atrios de Jehová. 3 El rey contribuyó de su propia hacienda para los holocaustos de la mañana y de la tarde, y para los holocaustos de los sábados, nuevas lunas y fiestas solemnes, como está escrito en la ley de Jehová. 4 Mandó también al pueblo que habitaba en Jerusalén que diera la porción correspondiente a los sacerdotes y levitas, para que ellos se dedicaran a la ley de Jehová. 5 Cuando este edicto fue divulgado, los hijos de Israel dieron muchas primicias de grano, vino, aceite, miel, y de todos los frutos de la tierra; trajeron asimismo en abundancia los diezmos de todas las cosas.
6 También los hijos de Israel y de Judá, que habitaban en las ciudades de Judá, dieron del mismo modo los diezmos de las vacas y de las ovejas; y trajeron los diezmos de lo santificado, de las cosas que habían prometido a Jehová, su Dios, y los depositaron en montones. 7 En el mes tercero comenzaron a apilar aquellos montones, y terminaron en el mes séptimo. 8 Cuando Ezequías y los príncipes vinieron y vieron los montones, bendijeron a Jehová y a su pueblo Israel. 9 Entonces preguntó Ezequías a los sacerdotes y a los levitas acerca de esos montones. 10 Y el sumo sacerdote Azarías, de la casa de Sadoc, le contestó: «Desde que comenzaron a traer las ofrendas a la casa de Jehová, hemos comido y nos hemos saciado, y nos ha sobrado mucho, porque Jehová ha bendecido a su pueblo; y ha quedado esta abundancia de provisiones.»
11 Por tal motivo mandó Ezequías que prepararan depósitos en la casa de Jehová. Los prepararon, 12 y en ellos metieron fielmente las primicias, los diezmos y las cosas consagradas. Nombraron a cargo de ello al levita Conanías, el principal, y Simei, su hermano, fue el segundo. 13 Jehiel, Azazías, Nahat, Asael, Jerimot, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismaquías, Mahat y Benaía, fueron los mayordomos al servicio de Conanías y de Simei, su hermano, por mandamiento del rey Ezequías y de Azarías, príncipe de la casa de Dios. 14 El levita Coré hijo de Imna, guarda de la puerta oriental, tenía a su cargo las ofrendas voluntarias para Dios, y la distribución de las ofrendas dedicadas a Jehová y las cosas santísimas. 15 A sus órdenes estaban Edén, Miniamín, Jesúa, Semaías, Amarías y Secanías, en las ciudades de los sacerdotes, para dar con fidelidad a sus hermanos sus porciones conforme a sus grupos, lo mismo al mayor que al menor; 16 a los hombres anotados por sus genealogías, de tres años para arriba, a todos los que entraban en la casa de Jehová para desempeñar su ministerio según sus oficios y grupos. 17 También a los que eran contados entre los sacerdotes según sus casas paternas; y a los levitas de edad de veinte años para arriba, conforme a sus oficios y grupos. 18 Eran inscritos con todos sus niños, sus mujeres, sus hijos e hijas, es decir, toda la comunidad; porque con fidelidad se consagraban a las cosas santas. 19 Del mismo modo para los hijos de Aarón, sacerdotes, que estaban en los ejidos de sus ciudades, por todas las ciudades, los hombres nombrados estaban encargados de dar sus porciones a todos los hombres de entre los sacerdotes, y a todos los levitas inscritos.
20 De esta manera hizo Ezequías en todo Judá; y ejecutó lo bueno, recto y verdadero delante de Jehová, su Dios. 21 En todo cuanto emprendió en el servicio de la casa de Dios, de acuerdo con la Ley y los mandamientos, buscó a su Dios, lo hizo de todo corazón, y fue prosperado.
