| 1 ولما كمل هذا خرج كل اسرائيل الحاضرين الى مدن يهوذا وكسروا الانصاب وقطعوا السواري وهدموا المرتفعات والمذابح من كل يهوذا وبنيامين ومن افرايم ومنسّى حتى افنوها ثم رجع كل اسرائيل كل واحد الى ملكه الى مدنهم. | 1 Now when all this was finished, all Israel who were present went out to the cities of Judah and broke in pieces the pillars and hewed down the Asherim and broke 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, every man to his possession. |
| 2 واقام حزقيا فرق الكهنة واللاويين حسب اقسامهم كل واحد حسب خدمته الكهنة واللاويين للمحرقات وذبائح السلامة للخدمة والحمد والتسبيح في ابواب محلات الرب. | 2 And Hezekiah appointed the divisions of the priests and of the Levites, division by division, each according to his service, the priests and the Levites, for burnt offerings and peace offerings, to minister in the gates of the camp of the LORD and to give thanks and praise. |
| 3 واعطى الملك حصة من ماله للمحرقات محرقات الصباح والمساء والمحرقات للسبوت والاشهر والمواسم كما هو مكتوب في شريعة الرب. | 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 feasts, as it is written in the law of the LORD. |
| 4 وقال للشعب سكان اورشليم ان يعطوا حصة الكهنة واللاويين لكي يتمسكوا بشريعة الرب. | 4 And he commanded the people who lived in Jerusalem to give the portion due to the priests and the Levites, that they might give themselves to the law of the LORD. |
| 5 ولما شاع الأمر كثر بنو اسرائيل من اوائل الحنطة والمسطار والزيت والعسل ومن كل غلة الحقل وأتوا بعشر الجميع بكثرة. | 5 As soon as the command was spread abroad, 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 وبنو اسرائيل ويهوذا الساكنون في مدن يهوذا أتوا هم ايضا بعشر البقر والضأن وعشر الاقداس المقدسة للرب الههم وجعلوها صبرا صبرا. | 6 And the people of Israel and Judah who lived in the cities of Judah also brought in the tithe of cattle and sheep, and the dedicated things which had been consecrated to the LORD their God, and laid them in heaps. |

| 8 وجاء حزقيا والرؤساء ورأوا الصّبر فباركوا الرب وشعبه اسرائيل. | 8 When Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed the LORD and his people Israel. |
| 9 وسأل حزقيا الكهنة واللاويين عن الصّبر. | 9 And Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites about the heaps. |
| 10 فكلّمه عزريا الكاهن الراس لبيت صادوق وقال منذ ابتدأ بجلب التقدمة الى بيت الرب اكلنا وشبعنا وفضل عنا بكثرة لان الرب بارك شعبه والذي فضل هو هذه الكثرة | 10 Azariah the chief priest, who was of the house of Zadok, answered him, "Since they began to bring the contributions into the house of the LORD we have eaten and had enough and have plenty left; for the LORD has blessed his people, so that we have this great store left." |
| 11 وأمر حزقيا باعداد مخادع في بيت الرب فاعدّوا. | 11 Then Hezekiah commanded them to prepare chambers in the house of the LORD; and they prepared them. |
| 12 وأتوا بالتقدمة والعشر والاقداس بامانة وكان رئيسا عليهم كوننيا اللاوي وشمعي اخوه الثاني | 12 And they faithfully brought in the contributions, the tithes and the dedicated things. The chief officer in charge of them was Conaniah the Levite, with Shime-i his brother as second; |
| 13 ويحيئيل وعزريا ونحث وعسائيل ويريموث ويوزاباد وايليئيل ويسمخيا ومحث وبنايا وكلاء تحت يد كوننيا وشمعي اخيه حسب تعيين حزقيا الملك وعزريا رئيس بيت الله. | 13 while Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismachiah, Mahath, and Benaiah were overseers assisting Conaniah and Shime-i his brother, by the appointment of Hezekiah the king and Azariah the chief officer of the house of God. |
| 14 وقوري بن يمنة اللاوي البواب نحو الشرق كان على المتبرّع به لله لاعطاء تقدمة الرب واقداس الاقداس. | 14 And Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, keeper of the east gate, was over the freewill offerings to God, to apportion the contribution reserved for the LORD and the most holy offerings. |
| 15 وتحت يده عدن ومنيامين ويشوع وشمعيا وامريا وشكنيا في مدن الكهنة بامانة ليعطوا لاخوتهم حسب الفرق الكبير كالصغير | 15 Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah were faithfully assisting him in the cities of the priests, to distribute the portions to their brethren, old and young alike, by divisions, |
| 16 فضلا عن انتساب ذكورهم من ابن ثلاث سنين فما فوق من كل داخل بيت الرب أمر كل يوم بيومه حسب خدمتهم في حراستهم حسب اقسامهم | 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 وانتساب الكهنة حسب بيوت آبائهم واللاويين من ابن عشرين سنة فما فوق حسب حراساتهم واقسامهم | 17 The enrollment of the priests was according to their fathers' houses; that of the Levites from twenty years old and upwards was according to their offices, by their divisions. |
| 18 وانتساب جميع اطفالهم ونسائهم وبنيهم وبناتهم في كل الجماعة لانهم بامانتهم تقدسوا تقدسا. | 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 ومن بني هرون الكهنة في حقول مسارح مدنهم في كل مدينة فمدينة الرجال المعيّنة اسماؤهم لاعطاء حصص لكل ذكر من الكهنة ولكل من انتسب من اللاويين. | 19 And for the sons of Aaron, the priests, who were in the fields of common land belonging to their cities, there were men in the several cities who were designated by name to distribute portions to every male among the priests and to every one among the Levites who was enrolled. |
| 20 هكذا عمل حزقيا في كل يهوذا وعمل ما هو صالح ومستقيم وحق امام الرب الهه. | 20 Thus Hezekiah did throughout all Judah; and he did what was good and right and faithful before the LORD his God. |
| 21 وكل عمل ابتدأ به في خدمة بيت الله وفي الشريعة والوصية ليطلب الهه انما عمله بكل قلبه وافلح | 21 And every work that he undertook in the service of the house of God and in accordance with the law and the commandments, seeking his God, he did with all his heart, and prospered. |
