Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1And when these things had been duly celebrated, all Israel that were found in the cities of Juda, went out, and they broke the idols, and cut down the groves. demolished the high places, and destroyed the altars, not only out of all Juda and Benjamin, but out of Ephraim also and Manasses, till they had utterly destroyed them: then all the children of Israel returned to their possessions and cities.
1這事既都完畢,在那裏的 以色列 眾人就到 猶大 的城邑,打碎柱像,砍斷木偶,又在 猶大 、 便雅憫 、 以法蓮 、 瑪拿西 遍地將邱壇和祭壇拆毀淨盡。於是 以色列 眾人各回各城,各歸各地。
2And Ezechias appointed companies of the priests, and the Levites, by their courses, every man in his own office, to wit, both of the priests, and of the Levites, for holocausts, and for peace offerings, to minister, and to praise, and to sing in the gates of the camp of the Lord.
2希西家 派定祭司 利未 人的班次,各按各職獻燔祭和平安祭,又在耶和華殿門內事奉,稱謝頌讚 耶和華 。
3And the king’s part was, that of his proper substance the holocaust should be offered always morning and evening, and on the sabbaths, and the new moons and the other solemnities, as it is written in the law of Moses.
3王又從自己的產業中定出分來為燔祭,就是早晚的燔祭和安息日、月朔,並節期的燔祭,都是按耶和華律法上所載的;
4He commanded also the people that dwelt in Jerusalem, to give to the priests, and the Levites their portion, that they might attend to the law of the Lord.
4又吩咐住 耶路撒冷 的百姓將祭司、 利未 人所應得的分給他們,使他們專心遵守耶和華的律法。
5Which when it was noised abroad in the ears of the people, the children of Israel offered in abundance the firstfruits of corn, wine, and oil, and honey: and brought the tithe of all things which the ground bringeth forth.
5諭旨一出, 以色列 人就把初熟的五穀、新酒、油、蜜,和田地的出產多多送來,又把各物的十分之一送來的極多。
6Moreover the children of Israel and Juda, that dwelt in the cities of Juda, brought in the tithes of oxen, and sheep, and the tithes of holy things, which they had vowed to the Lord their God: and carrying them all, made many heaps.
6住 猶大 各城的 以色列 人和 猶大 人也將牛羊的十分之一,並分別為聖歸耶和華-他們上帝之物,就是十分取一之物,盡都送來,積成堆壘;
7In the third month they began to lay the foundations of the heaps, and in the seventh month, they finished them.
7從三月積起,到七月才完。
8And when Ezechias and his princes came in, they saw the heaps, and they blessed the Lord and the people of Israel.
8希西家 和眾首領來,看見堆壘,就稱頌耶和華,又為耶和華的民 以色列 人祝福。
9And Ezechias asked the priests and the Levites, why the heaps lay so.
9希西家 向祭司、 利未 人查問這堆壘。
10Azarias the chief priest of the race of Sadoc answered him, saying: Since the firstfruits began to be offered in the house of the Lord, we have eaten, and have been filled, and abundance is left, because the Lord hath blessed his people: and of that which is left is this great store which thou seest.
10撒督 家的大祭司 亞撒利雅 回答說:「自從 民 將供物送到耶和華殿以來,我們不但吃飽,且剩下的甚多;因為耶和華賜福給他的民,所剩下的才這樣豐盛。」
11Then Ezechias commanded to prepare storehouses in the house of the Lord. And when they had done so,
11希西家 吩咐在耶和華殿裏預備倉房,他們就預備了。
12They brought in faithfully both the firstfruits, and the tithes, and all they had vowed. And the overseer of them was Chonenias the Levite, and Semei his brother was the second,
12他們誠心將供物和十分取一之物,並分別為聖之物,都搬入倉內。 利未 人 歌楠雅 掌管這事,他兄弟 示每 為副管。
13And after him Jehiel, and Azarias, and Nahath, and Asael, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Jesmachias, and Mahath, and Banaias, overseers under the hand of Chonenias, and Semei his brother, by the commandment of Ezechias the king, and Azarias the high priest of the house of God, to whom all things appertained.
13耶歇 、 亞撒細雅 、 拿哈 、 亞撒黑 、 耶利末 、 約撒拔 、 以列 、 伊斯瑪基雅 、 瑪哈 、 比拿雅 都是督理,在 歌楠雅 和他兄弟 示每 的手下,是 希西家 王和管理上帝殿的 亞撒利雅 所派的。
14But Core the son of Jemna the Levite, the porter of the east gate, was overseer of the things which were freely offered to the Lord, and of the firstfruits and the things dedicated for the holy of holies.
14守東門的 利未 人 音拿 的兒子 可利 ,掌管樂意獻與上帝的禮物,發放獻與耶和華的供物和至聖的物。
15And under his charge were Eden, and Benjamin, Jesue, and Semeias, and Amarias, and Sechenias, in the cities of the priests, to distribute faithfully portions to their brethren, both little and great:
15在他手下有 伊甸 、 珉雅珉 、 耶書亞 、 示瑪雅 、 亞瑪利雅 、 示迦尼雅 ,在祭司的各城裏供緊要的職任,無論弟兄大小,都按着班次分給他們。
16Besides the males from three years old and upward, to all that went into the temple of the Lord, and whatsoever there was need of in the ministry, and their offices according to their courses, day by day.
16按家譜,三歲以外的男丁,凡每日進耶和華殿、按班次供職的,也分給他;
17To the priests by their families, and to the Levites from the twentieth year and upward, by their classes and companies.
17又按宗族家譜分給祭司,按班次職任分給二十歲以外的 利未 人,
18And to all the multitude, both to their wives, and to their children of both sexes, victuals were given faithfully out of the things that had been sanctified.
18又按家譜計算,分給他們會中的妻子、兒女;因他們身供要職,自潔成聖。
19Also of the sons of Aaron who were in the fields and in the suburbs of each city, there were men appointed, to distribute portions to all the males, among the priests and the Levites.
19按名派定的人要把應得的分給 亞倫 子孫,住在各城郊野、祭司所有的男丁和一切載入家譜的 利未 人。
20So Ezechias did all things, which we have said in all Juda, and wrought that which was good; and right, and truth, before the Lord his God,
20希西家 在 猶大 遍地這樣辦理,行耶和華-他上帝眼中看為善為正為忠的事。
21In all the service of the ministry of the house of the Lord according to the law and the ceremonies, desiring to seek his God with all his heart, and he did it and prospered,
21凡他所行的,無論是辦上帝殿的事,是遵律法守誡命,是尋求他的上帝,都是盡心去行,無不亨通。
