2 Chronicles 31

NEW JERUSALEM	NOVA VULGATA
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.	1 Cumque haec fuissent rite celebrata, egressus est omnis Israel, qui inventus fuerat in urbibus Iudae, et fregerunt simulacra succideruntque palos, demoliti sunt excelsa et altaria destruxerunt non solum de universo Iuda et Beniamin, sed et de Ephraim quoque et Manasse, donec penitus everterent. Reversique sunt omnes filii Israel in possessiones et civitates suas.
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.	2 Ezechias autem constituit turmas sacerdotales et leviticas per divisiones suas, unumquemque in officio proprio tam sacerdotum videlicet quam Levitarum, ad holocausta et pacifica, ut ministrarent et confiterentur canerentque laudes in portis castrorum Domini.
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.	3 Pars autem regis erat, ut de propria eius substantia offerretur holocaustum mane semper et vespere, sabbatis quoque et calendis et sollemnitatibus ceteris, sicut scriptum est in lege Moysi.
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.	4 Praecepit etiam populo habitanti Ierusalem, ut darent partes sacerdotibus et Levitis, ut possent vacare legi Domini.
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.	5 Quod cum percrebruisset in auribus multitudinis, plurimas obtulere primitias filii Israel frumenti, vini et olei, mellis quoque et omnium, quae gignit humus, et decimas obtulerunt de omnibus abundanter.
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.	6 Sed et filii Israel et Iudae, qui habitabant in urbibus Iudae, obtulerunt decimas boum et ovium decimasque sanctorum, quae sanctificabant Domino Deo suo; atque universa portantes fecerunt acervos plurimos.
7 They began accumulating the heaps in the third month and had finished them by the seventh.	7 Mense tertio coeperunt acervorum iacere fundamenta et mense septimo compleverunt eos.
8 When Hezekiah and the officials came to inspect the heaps they praised Yahweh and his peopleIsrael.	8 Cumque ingressi fuissent Ezechias et principes, viderunt acervos et benedixerunt Domino ac populo Israel.
9 While Hezekiah was questioning the priests and Levites about the heaps,	9 Interrogavitque Ezechias sacerdotes et Levitas, cur ita iacerent acervi.
10 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.'	10 Respondit illi Azarias sacerdos primus de stirpe Sadoc dicens: “ Ex quo coeperunt offerre donationem in domum Domini, comedimus et saturati sumus, et remanserunt plurima, eo quod benedixerit Dominus populo suo; reliquiarum autem copia est ista, quam cernis ”.
11 Hezekiah then ordered them to have storerooms prepared in the Temple of Yahweh and, when theyhad got them ready,	11 Praecepit igitur Ezechias, ut praepararent cellas in domo Domini. Quod cum fecissent,
12 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,	12 intulerunt tam donationem quam decimas et quaecumque sanctificaverant fideliter. Fuit autem praefectus eorum Chonenias Levita et Semei frater eius secundus,
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.	13 post quem Iahiel et Azazias et Nahath et Asael et Ierimoth, Iozabad quoque et Eliel et Iesmachias et Mahath et Banaias praepositi sub manibus Choneniae et Semei fratris eius ex imperio Ezechiae regis et Azariae pontificis domus Dei.
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.	14 Core vero filius Iemna Levites et ianitor orientalis portae praepositus erat iis, quae sponte offerebantur Domino, ad distribuendum donationem Domini et sanctissima.
15 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,	15 Et sub cura eius Eden et Beniamin, Iesua et Semeias, Amarias quoque et Sechenias in civitatibus sacerdotum, ut fideliter distribuerent fratribus suis tam maioribus quam minoribus in divisionibus suis,
16 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:	16 dummodo recensiti essent mares ab annis tribus et supra, cuncti qui ingrediebantur templum Domini, ut singulorum dierum ministeria observarent iuxta divisiones suas.
17 the priests being registered according to family and the Levites of twenty years and upwardsaccording to their duties within their orders.	17 Sacerdotes recensiti erant per familias, et Levitae a vicesimo anno et supra per ministeria et turmas suas.
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.	18 Et recensita erat universa familia omnis turmae, tam pro uxoribus quam liberis eorum utriusque sexus, quia in fidelitate servitii ipsorum sanctificati erant omnes.
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.	19 Porro pro filiis Aaron, sacerdotibus in agris et suburbanis urbium singularum dispositi erant nominatim viri, qui partes distribuerent universo sexui masculino de sacerdotibus et omni, qui recensitus erat inter Levitas.
20 Hezekiah did this throughout all Judah. He did what Yahweh his God regards as good and right andloyal.	20 Fecit ergo Ezechias secundum haec in omni Iuda operatusque est bonum et rectum et verum coram Domino Deo suo.
21 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.	21 Et in universo opere, quod coepit in servitio domus Dei, et iuxta legem et praeceptum volens requirere Deum suum, in toto corde suo operatus et prosperatus est.
