SMITH VAN DYKENEW JERUSALEM
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 When al this was complete, al Israel present went out to the towns of Judah, broke the pil ars, cutdown the sacred poles, wrecked the high places and the altars, and did away with them entirely throughoutJudah, Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh. Then al the Israelites returned to their towns, everyone to hisproperty.
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 Hezekiah re-established the priestly and levitical orders, each man in his proper order according to hisduties, whether priest or Levite, to bring burnt offerings and communion sacrifices, to serve and to give thanksand praise within the gates of Yahweh's camp.
3 واعطى الملك حصة من ماله للمحرقات محرقات الصباح والمساء والمحرقات للسبوت والاشهر والمواسم كما هو مكتوب في شريعة الرب.3 He also established a king's portion from his possessions for the morning and evening burnt offerings,and the burnt offerings for the Sabbaths, New Moons and festivals, as laid down in the Law of Yahweh.
4 وقال للشعب سكان اورشليم ان يعطوا حصة الكهنة واللاويين لكي يتمسكوا بشريعة الرب.4 He furthermore requested the people living in Jerusalem to present the portion for the priests andLevites so that they might devote themselves to the Law of Yahweh.
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 order had been promulgated, the Israelites provided the first fruits of grain, new wine,olive oil, honey and every other kind of agricultural produce in abundance; they brought in an abundant tithe ofeverything.
6 وبنو اسرائيل ويهوذا الساكنون في مدن يهوذا أتوا هم ايضا بعشر البقر والضأن وعشر الاقداس المقدسة للرب الههم وجعلوها صبرا صبرا.6 The Israelites and Judaeans living in the towns of Judah also brought in the tithe of cattle and sheep,and the tithe of sacred gifts consecrated to Yahweh their God, laying them in heaps.
7 في الشهر الثالث ابتدأوا بتأسيس الصّبر وفي الشهر السابع اكملوا.7 They began accumulating the heaps in the third month and had finished them by the seventh.
8 وجاء حزقيا والرؤساء ورأوا الصّبر فباركوا الرب وشعبه اسرائيل.8 When Hezekiah and the officials came to inspect the heaps they praised Yahweh and his peopleIsrael.
9 وسأل حزقيا الكهنة واللاويين عن الصّبر.9 While Hezekiah was questioning the priests and 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 الكثرة10 Azariah, the chief priest, of the family of Zadok, replied as fol ows, 'Since they began bringing thecontributions to the Temple of Yahweh,' he said, 'we have had enough to eat and quantities left over, for Yahwehhas blessed his people; this mass of stuff is left.'
11 وأمر حزقيا باعداد مخادع في بيت الرب فاعدّوا.11 Hezekiah then ordered them to have storerooms prepared in the Temple of Yahweh and, when theyhad got them ready,
12 وأتوا بالتقدمة والعشر والاقداس بامانة وكان رئيسا عليهم كوننيا اللاوي وشمعي اخوه الثاني12 they conscientiously brought in the contributions, tithes and consecrated gifts, Conaniah the Levitewas put in charge of them, with Shimei his brother as his assistant,
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 and with Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jeremith, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismachiah, Mahath, and Benaiahas overseers under Conaniah and his brother Shimei, by order of King Hezekiah and of Azariah, the chief of theTemple of God.
14 وقوري بن يمنة اللاوي البواب نحو الشرق كان على المتبرّع به لله لاعطاء تقدمة الرب واقداس الاقداس.14 Kore son of Jimnah the Levite, keeper of the eastern gate, was made responsible for the voluntaryofferings to God and for providing the portion set aside for Yahweh and the most holy gifts.
15 وتحت يده عدن ومنيامين ويشوع وشمعيا وامريا وشكنيا في مدن الكهنة بامانة ليعطوا لاخوتهم حسب الفرق الكبير كالصغير15 Supporting him loyal y in the priestly towns were Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah andShechaniah, who made the distributions to their brothers in their various orders, whether high or low,
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 اقسامهم16 irrespective of their official genealogy, to the males of thirty years and upwards -- to each one whoattended the Temple of Yahweh to fulfil his daily obligations -- for the performance of their duties appropriate totheir orders:
17 وانتساب الكهنة حسب بيوت آبائهم واللاويين من ابن عشرين سنة فما فوق حسب حراساتهم واقسامهم17 the priests being registered according to family and the Levites of twenty years and upwardsaccording to their duties within their orders.
18 وانتساب جميع اطفالهم ونسائهم وبنيهم وبناتهم في كل الجماعة لانهم بامانتهم تقدسوا تقدسا.18 And the official genealogy included all their household, their wives, their sons and their daughters,throughout the community, since these men were obliged to keep sanctifying themselves anew.
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 The Aaronite priests who lived on the pasture lands belonging to their towns, had men named inevery town to distribute portions to every male among the priests and to everyone included in the officialgenealogy of the Levites.
20 هكذا عمل حزقيا في كل يهوذا وعمل ما هو صالح ومستقيم وحق امام الرب الهه.20 Hezekiah did this throughout all Judah. He did what Yahweh his God regards as good and right andloyal.
21 وكل عمل ابتدأ به في خدمة بيت الله وفي الشريعة والوصية ليطلب الهه انما عمله بكل قلبه وافلح21 Everything that he undertook, whether in the service of the Temple of God or in connection with thelaw or the commandments, he did in absolute devotion to his God, and so succeeded.
