1 Da alt det var til ende, drog alle de Israeliter, som var til stede, ud til Judas Byer, og de sønderbrød Stenstøtterne, omhuggede Asjerastøtterne og nedrev Offerhøjene og Altrene i hele Juda og Benjamin og i Efraim og Manasse, så der ikke blev Spor tilhage; så vendte alle Israeliterne hjem, hver til sin Ejendom i deres Byer.
1 Now when all this was finished, all Israel who were present went out to the cities of Judah, broke the pillars in pieces, cut down the Asherim and pulled down the high places and the altars throughout all Judah and Benjamin, as well as in Ephraim and Manasseh, until they had destroyed them all. Then all the sons of Israel returned to their cities, each to his possession.
2 Så ordnede Ezekias Præsternes og Leviternes Skifter, Skifte for Skifte, så at hver enkelt Præst og Levit fik sin særlige Gerning med at ofre Brændofre og Takofre og med af gøre Tjeneste og love og prise i HERRENs Lejrs Porte.
2 And Hezekiah appointed the divisions of the priests and the Levites by their divisions, each according to his service, both the priests and the Levites, for burnt offerings and for peace offerings, to minister and to give thanks and to praise in the gates of the camp of the Lord.
3 Hvad Kongen gav af sit Gods, var til Brændofrene, Morgen- og Aftenbrændofrene og Brændofrene på Sabbaterne, Nymånerne og Højtiderne, som det er foreskrevet i HERRENs Lov.
3 He also appointed the king’s portion of his goods for the burnt offerings, namely, for the morning and evening burnt offerings, and the burnt offerings for the sabbaths and for the new moons and for the fixed festivals, as it is written in the law of the Lord.
4 Og han bød Folket, dem, der boede i Jerusalem, at afgive, hvad der tilkom Præsterne og Leviterne, for at de kunde holde fast ved HERRENs Lov.
4 Also he commanded the people who lived in Jerusalem to give the portion due to the priests and the Levites, that they might devote themselves to the law of the Lord.
5 Så snart det Bud kom ud, bragte Israeliterne i rigelig Mængde Førstegrøde af Korn, Most, Olie og Honning og al Markens Afgrøde, og de gav Tiende af alt i rigeligt Mål;
5 As soon as the order spread, the sons of Israel provided in abundance the first fruits of grain, new wine, oil, honey and of all the produce of the field; and they brought in abundantly the tithe of all.
6 også de Israeliter, der boede i Judas Byer, gav Tiende af Hornkvæg og Småkvæg, og de bragte Helliggaverne, der var belliget HERREN deres Gud, og lagde dem Bunke for Bunke.
6 The sons of Israel and Judah who lived in the cities of Judah also brought in the tithe of oxen and sheep, and the tithe of sacred gifts which were consecrated to the Lord their God, and placed them in heaps.
10 svarede Ypperstepræsten Azarja af Zadoks Hus: "Siden man begyndte at bringe Offerydelsen til HERRENs Hus, har vi spist os mætte og fået rigelig tilovers, thi HERREN har velsignet sit Folk, så at vi har fået al den Rigdom her tilovers!"
10 Azariah the chief priest of the house of Zadok said to him, “Since the contributions began to be brought into the house of the Lord, we have had enough to eat with plenty left over, for the Lord has blessed His people, and this great quantity is left over.”
12 Så bragte man samvittighedsfuldt Offerydelsen, Tienden og Helliggaverne derind. Den øverste Opsynsmand derover var Leviten Konanja, den næstøverste hans Broder Sjim'i;
12 They faithfully brought in the contributions and the tithes and the consecrated things; and Conaniah the Levite was the officer in charge of them and his brother Shimei was second.
13 og Jehiel, Azarja, Nahat, Asa'el Jerimot, Jazabad, Eliel, Jismakjahu, Mahat og Benaja var Opsynsmænd underKonanja oghans Broder Sjim'i efter den Ordning, som var truffet af Ezekias og Azarja, Øversten i Guds Hus.
13 Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismachiah, Mahath and Benaiah were overseers under the authority of Conaniah and Shimei his brother by the appointment of King Hezekiah, and Azariah was the chief officer of the house of God.
14 Leviten Kore, Jimnas Søn, der var Dørvogter på Østsiden, havde Tilsyn med de frivillige Gaver til Gud og skulde uddele HERRENs Offerydelse og de højhellige Gaver;
14 Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the keeper of the eastern gate, was over the freewill offerings of God, to apportion the contributions for the Lord and the most holy things.
15 under ham sattes Eden, Minjamin, Jesua, Sjemaja, Amarja og Sjekanja i Præstebyerne til samvittighedsfuldt attorestå Uddelingen til deres Brødre i Skitterne, både store og små,
15 Under his authority were Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah and Shecaniah in the cities of the priests, to distribute faithfully their portions to their brothers by divisions, whether great or small,
16 dem af Mandkøn, der var indført i Fortegnelserne fra Treårsalderen og opefter. Undtaget var alle, der kom til HERRENs Hus for efter de enkelte Dages Krav at udføre deres Embedsgerning efter deres Skifter.
16 without regard to their genealogical enrollment, to the males from thirty years old and upward—everyone who entered the house of the Lord for his daily obligations—for their work in their duties according to their divisions;
17 Præsterne indførtes i Fortegnelserne efter deres Fædrenehuse, Leviterne fra Tyveårsalderen og opefter efter deres Embedspligter, efter deres Skifter,
17 as well as the priests who were enrolled genealogically according to their fathers’ households, and the Levites from twenty years old and upwards, by their duties and their divisions.
18 Og de indførtes i Fortegnelserne med hele deres Familie, deres Hustruer, Sønner og Døtre, hele Standen, thi de tog sig samvittighedsfuldt af det hellige.
18 The genealogical enrollment included all their little children, their wives, their sons and their daughters, for the whole assembly, for they consecrated themselves faithfully in holiness.
19 Arons Sønner, Præsterne, som boede på Græsmarkerne omkring deres Byer, havde i hver By nogle navngivne Mænd til at uddele, hvad der tilkom alle af Mandkøn blandt Præsterne og de i Fortegnelserne indførte Leviter.
19 Also for the sons of Aaron the priests who were in the pasture lands of their cities, or in each and every city, there were men who were designated by name to distribute portions to every male among the priests and to everyone genealogically enrolled among the Levites.
21 Alt, hvad han tog fat på vedrørende Tjenesten i Guds Hus eller Loven eller Budet for således at søge sin Gud, det gjorde han af hele sit Hjerte, og det lykkedes for ham.
21 Every work which he began in the service of the house of God in law and in commandment, seeking his God, he did with all his heart and prospered.
