2 Crónicas 31
Zürcher Bibel 1931
1Als dies alles vollendet war, zogen alle Israeliten, die zugegen waren, hinaus in die Städte Judas, zertrümmerten die Malsteine, hieben die Ascheren um und zerstörten die Höhenheiligtümer und die Altäre in ganz Juda, Benjamin, Ephraim und Manasse, bis alles vernichtet war; dann kehrten alle Israeliten in ihre Städte zurück, ein jeder in sein Besitztum. (a) 2Kön 18:4
2Hierauf bestellte Hiskia die Abteilungen der Priester und Leviten, Abteilung für Abteilung, einen jeden nach Massgabe seines Dienstes, wie er für die Priester und für die Leviten vorgesehen war, für das Brandopfer und für die Heilsopfer, um in den Toren der Vorhöfe des Tempels Dienst zu tun und zu loben und zu preisen.
3Der Beitrag des Königs aus seinem Besitztum war für die Brandopfer bestimmt, für die Brandopfer des Morgens sowohl als des Abends, für die Brandopfer an den Sabbaten und Neumonden und Festtagen, wie es im Gesetz des Herrn verordnet ist. (a) 4Mo 28
4Und er gebot dem Volke, den Bewohnern von Jerusalem, sie sollten den Priestern und Leviten den ihnen gebührenden Anteil geben, damit sie am Gesetz des Herrn festhalten könnten.
5Sobald dieses Gebot bekannt wurde, brachten die Israeliten die Erstlinge von Getreide, Wein, Öl, Honig und allen übrigen Erträgnissen des Feldes in Menge; dazu lieferten sie den Zehnten von allem reichlich ab. (a) 4Mo 18:12-14 21
6Und die in den Landstädten wohnenden Israeliten und Judäer brachten gleicherweise den Zehnten von Rindern und Schafen sowie den Zehnten von den Weihegaben, die dem Herrn, ihrem Gott, geweiht wurden; in einzelnen Haufen legten sie das hin. (a) 3Mo 27:20
7Im dritten Monat begannen sie, die Haufen anzulegen, und im siebenten Monat wurden sie damit fertig.
8Dann kamen Hiskia und die Fürsten, und als sie die Haufen sahen, priesen sie den Herrn und sein Volk Israel.
9Als nun Hiskia die Priester und Leviten wegen der Haufen befragte,
10antwortete ihm der Oberpriester Asarja vom Hause Zadok: Seitdem man angefangen hat, die heilige Abgabe zum Tempel zu bringen, haben wir uns satt gegessen und noch viel übrig behalten; denn der Herr hat sein Volk gesegnet, sodass wir diesen grossen Haufen übrigbehalten haben.
11Da befahl Hiskia, Zellen im Tempel einzurichten; als man diese eingerichtet hatte, (a) 1Kön 6:5
12brachten sie die Abgaben, den Zehnten und die Weihegaben getreulich dahin. Oberaufseher darüber war der Levit Chonanja, sein Bruder Simei stand an zweiter Stelle;
13und Jehiel, Asasja, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Josabad, Eliel, Jismachja, Mahath und Benaja standen als Aufseher Chonanja und seinem Bruder Simei zur Seite gemäss der Anordnung des Königs Hiskia und Asarjas, des Fürsten des Tempels.
14Der Levit Kore aber, der Sohn Jimnas, der Hüter am östlichen Tor, war über die freiwilligen Gaben, die Gott gespendet wurden, gesetzt, um die für den Herrn bestimmten Abgaben und die hochheiligen Weihegaben zu verteilen.
15Ihm standen getreulich zur Seite Eden, Minjamin, Jesua, Semaja, Amarja und Sechanja in den Priesterstädten, um ihren Brüdern (ihren Anteil) zuzuweisen, abteilungsweise den alten wie den jungen,
16einem jeden nebst seinen Nachkommen nach Ausweis der Geschlechtsregister, nämlich den männlichen Nachkommen von drei Jahren und darüber von all denen, die zum Tempel gehörten, entsprechend dem Amt und Dienst, der ihnen Tag für Tag befohlen war nach ihren Abteilungen.
17Und zwar wurden die Priester nach ihren Familien in die Register eingetragen, die Leviten aber im Alter von zwanzig Jahren und darüber nach ihren Dienstverrichtungen und Abteilungen;
18und sie wurden eingetragen mit all ihren kleinen Kindern, ihren Frauen, Söhnen und Töchtern, der ganze Stand;... (1) die letzten Worte des Verses sind nicht übersetzbar.
19Und für die Nachkommen Aarons, die Priester, waren im Landbezirk ihrer Städte, in jeder einzelnen Stadt, mit Namen bezeichnete Männer bestellt, um allen männlichen Angehörigen der Priester ihre Anteile zu liefern und ebenso allen in die Register eingetragenen Leviten.
20So tat Hiskia in ganz Juda; was vor dem Herrn, seinem Gott, gut und recht und Pflicht war, das tat er.
21In allem Werk, das er hinsichtlich des Dienstes am Tempel und gemäss Gesetz und Gebot unternahm, um seinen Gott zu suchen, handelte er durchweg aufrichtig, und er hatte Glück.
Reina-Valera 1909
1HECHAS todas estas cosas, todos los de Israel que se habían hallado allí, salieron por las ciudades de Judá, y quebraron las estatuas y destruyeron los bosques, y derribaron los altos y los altares por todo Judá y Benjamín, y también en Ephraim y Manasés, hasta acabarlo todo. Después volviéronse todos los hijos de Israel, cada uno á su posesión y á sus ciudades.
2Y arregló Ezechîas los repartimientos de los sacerdotes y de los Levitas conforme á sus órdenes, cada uno según su oficio, los sacerdotes y los Levitas para el holocausto y pacíficos, para que ministrasen, para que confesasen y alabasen á las puertas de los reales de Jehová.
3La contribución del rey de su hacienda, era holocaustos á mañana y tarde, y holocaustos para los sábados, nuevas lunas, y solemnidades, como está escrito en la ley de Jehová.
4Mandó también al pueblo que habitaba en Jerusalem, que diesen la porción á los sacerdotes y Levitas, para que se esforzasen en la ley de Jehová.
5Y como este edicto fué divulgado, los hijos de Israel dieron muchas primicias de grano, vino, aceite, miel, y de todos los frutos de la tierra: trajeron asimismo los diezmos de todas las cosas en abundancia.
6También 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 á Jehová su Dios, y pusiéronlos por montones.
7En el mes tercero comenzaron á fundar aquellos montones, y en el mes séptimo acabaron.
8Y Ezechîas y los príncipes vinieron á ver los montones, y bendijeron á Jehová, y á su pueblo Israel.
9Y preguntó Ezechîas á los sacerdotes y á los Levitas acerca de los montones.
10Y respondióle Azarías, sumo sacerdote, de la casa de Sadoc, y dijo: Desde que comenzaron á traer la ofrenda á la casa de Jehová, hemos comido y saciádonos, y nos ha sobrado mucho: porque Jehová ha bendecido su pueblo, y ha quedado esta muchedumbre.
11Entonces mandó Ezechîas que preparasen cámaras en la casa de Jehová; y preparáronlas.
12Y metieron las primicias y diezmos y las cosas consagradas, fielmente; y dieron cargo de ello á Chônanías Levita, el principal, y Simi su hermano fué el segundo.
13Y Jehiel, Azazías, Nahath, Asael, Jerimoth, Josabad, Eliel, Ismachîas, Mahaath, y Benaías, fueron sobrestantes bajo la mano de Chônanías y de Simi su hermano, por mandamiento del rey Ezechîas y de Azarías, príncipe de la casa de Dios.
14Y Coré hijo de Imna Levita, portero al oriente, tenía cargo de las limosnas de Dios, y de las ofrendas de Jehová que se daban, y de todo lo que se santificaba.
15Y á su mano estaba Edén, Benjamín, Jeshua, Semaías, Amarías, y Sechânías, en las ciudades de los sacerdotes, para dar con fidelidad á sus hermanos sus partes conforme á sus órdenes, así al mayor como al menor:
16A más de los varones anotados por sus linajes, de tres años arriba, á todos los que entraban en la casa de Jehová, su porción diaria por su ministerio, según sus oficios y clases;
17También á los que eran contados entre los sacerdotes por las familias de sus padres, y á los Levitas de edad de veinte años arriba, conforme á sus oficios y órdenes;
18Asimismo á los de su generación con todos sus niños, y sus mujeres, y sus hijos é hijas, á toda la familia; porque con fidelidad se consagraban á las cosas santas.
19Del mismo modo en orden á los hijos de Aarón, sacerdotes, que estaban en los ejidos de sus ciudades, por todas las ciudades, los varones nombrados tenían cargo de dar sus porciones á todos los varones de los sacerdotes, y á todo el linaje de los Levitas.
20De esta manera hizo Ezechîas en todo Judá: y ejecutó lo bueno, recto, y verdadero, delante de Jehová su Dios.
21En todo cuanto comenzó en el servicio de la casa de Dios, y en la ley y mandamientos, buscó á su Dios, é hízolo de todo corazón, y fué prosperado.
King James Version
1Now 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.
2And 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.
3He 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.
4Moreover 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.
5And 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.
6And 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.
7In the third month they began to lay the foundation of the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month.
8And when Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed the LORD, and his people Israel.
9Then Hezekiah questioned with the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps.
10And 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.
11Then Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the house of the LORD; and they prepared them,
12And 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.
13And 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.
14And 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.
15And 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:
16Beside 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;
17Both 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;
18And 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:
19Also 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.
20And thus did Hezekiah throughout all Judah, and wrought that which was good and right and truth before the LORD his God.
21And 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.
World English Bible
1Now when all this was finished, all Israel who were present went out to the cities of Judah and broke the pillars in pieces, cut down the Asherah poles, and broke down the high places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, also in Ephraim and Manasseh, until they had destroyed them all. Then all the children of Israel returned, every man to his possession, into their own cities.
2Hezekiah appointed the divisions of the priests and the Levites after their divisions, every man according to his service, both the priests and the Levites, for burnt offerings and for peace offerings, to minister, to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the LORD’s camp.
3He also appointed the king’s portion of his possessions for the burnt offerings: for the morning and evening burnt offerings, and the burnt offerings for the Sabbaths, for the new moons, and for the set feasts, as it is written in the LORD’s law.
4Moreover he commanded the people who lived in Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might give themselves to the LORD’s law.
5As soon as the commandment went out, the children of Israel gave in abundance the first fruits of grain, new wine, oil, honey, and of all the increase of the field; and they brought in the tithe of all things abundantly.
6The children of Israel and Judah, who lived in the cities of Judah, also brought in the tithe of cattle and sheep, and the tithe of dedicated things which were consecrated to the LORD their God, and laid them in heaps.
7In the third month, they began to lay the foundation of the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month.
8When Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed the LORD and his people Israel.
9Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites about the heaps.
10Azariah the chief priest, of the house of Zadok, answered him and said, “Since people began to bring the offerings into the LORD’s house, we have eaten and had enough, and have plenty left over, for the LORD has blessed his people; and that which is left is this great store.”
11Then Hezekiah commanded them to prepare rooms in the LORD’s house, and they prepared them.
12They brought in the offerings, the tithes, and the dedicated things faithfully. Conaniah the Levite was ruler over them, and Shimei his brother was second.
13Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismachiah, Mahath, and Benaiah were overseers under the hand of Conaniah and Shimei his brother, by the appointment of Hezekiah the king and Azariah the ruler of God’s house.
14Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the gatekeeper at the east gate, was over the free will offerings of God, to distribute the LORD’s offerings and the most holy things.
15Under him were Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, in their office of trust, to give to their brothers by divisions, to the great as well as to the small;
16in addition to those who were listed by genealogy of males, from three years old and upward, even everyone who entered into the LORD’s house, as the duty of every day required, for their service in their offices according to their divisions;
17and those who were listed by genealogy of the priests by their fathers’ houses, and the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in their offices by their divisions;
18and those who were listed by genealogy of all their little ones, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, through all the congregation; for in their office of trust they sanctified themselves in holiness.
19Also for the sons of Aaron the priests, who were in the fields of the pasture lands of their cities, in every city, there were men who were mentioned by name to give portions to all the males among the priests and to all who were listed by genealogy among the Levites.
20Hezekiah did so throughout all Judah; and he did that which was good, right, and faithful before the LORD his God.
21In every work that he began in the service of God’s house, in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart and prospered.
