II Chronicles 31

ukhekhallot kol-zot yatse'u khol-yisra'el hannimtse'im le'are yehudah vayeshabberu hammatsevot vayegadde'u ha'asherim vayenattetsu et-habbamot ve'et-hammizbekhot mikkol-yehudah uvinyamin uve'efrayim umenasheh ad-lekhalleh vayyashuvu kol-bene yisra'el ish la'akhuzzato le'arehem

When all this was finished, all Israel who were present went out into the towns of Judah and smashed the pillars, cut down the sacred posts, demolished the shrines and altars throughout Judah and Benjamin, and throughout Ephraim and Manasseh, to the very last one. Then all the Israelites returned to their towns, each to their homestead.

vayya'amed yekhizqiyyahu et-makhleqot hakkohanim vehaleviyyim al-makhleqotam ish kefi avodato lakkohanim velalviyyim le'olah velishlamim lesharet ulehodot ulehallel besha'are makhanot Adonai

Hezekiah reconstituted the divisions of the priests and Levites, each of the priests and Levites according to his office, for the burnt offerings, the offerings of well-being, to minister, and to sing hymns and praises in the gates of the courts of GOD;

umenat hammelekh min-rekhusho la'olot le'olot habboqer veha'erev veha'olot lashabbatot velekhodashim velammo'adim kakkatuv betorat Adonai

also the king’s portion, from his property, for the burnt offerings—the morning and evening burnt offering, and the burnt offerings for sabbaths, and new moons, and festivals, as prescribed in the Teaching of GOD.

vayyomer la'am leyosheve yerushalai͏m latet menat hakkohanim vehaleviyyim lema'an yekhezqu betorat Adonai

He ordered the people, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to deliver the portions of the priests and the Levites, so that they might devote themselves to the Teaching of GOD.

vekhifrots haddavar hirbu vene-yisra'el reshit dagan tirosh veyitshar udevash vekhol tevu'at sadeh umasar hakkol larov hevi'u

When the word spread, the Israelites brought large quantities of grain, wine, oil, honey, and all kinds of agricultural produce, and tithes of all, in large amounts.

uvene yisra'el vihudah hayyoshevim be'are yehudah gam-hem masar baqar vatson umasar qodashim hamequddashim la-Adonai elohehem hevi'u vayyittenu aremot aremot

The people of Israel and Judah living in the towns of Judah—they too brought tithes of cattle and sheep and tithes of sacred things consecrated to the ETERNAL their God, piling them in heaps.

bakhodesh hashelishi hekhellu ha'aremot leyissod uvakhodesh hashevi'i killu

In the third month the heaps began to accumulate, and were finished in the seventh month.

vayyavo'u yekhizqiyyahu vehassarim vayyiru et-ha'aremot vayevarekhu et-Adonai ve'et ammo yisra'el

When Hezekiah and the officers came and saw the heaps, they blessed GOD and the people Israel.

vayyidrosh yekhizqiyyahu al-hakkohanim vehaleviyyim al-ha'aremot

Hezekiah asked the priests and Levites about the heaps.

vayyomer elayw azaryahu hakkohen harosh levet tsadoq vayyomer mehakhel hatterumah lavi vet-Adonai akhol vesavoa vehoter ad-larov ki Adonai berakh et-ammo vehannotar et-hehamon hazzeh

The chief priest Azariah, of the house of Zadok, replied to him, saying, “Ever since the gifts began to be brought to the House of GOD, people have been eating to satiety and leaving over in great amounts, for GOD has blessed the people; this huge amount is left over!”

vayyomer yekhizqiyyahu lehakhin leshakhot bevet Adonai vayyakhinu

Hezekiah then gave orders to prepare store-chambers in the House of GOD; and they were prepared.

vayyavi'u et-hatterumah vehamma'aser vehaqqodashim be'emunah va'alehem nagid (khvnnyhv) [konanyahu] hallevi veshimi akhihu mishneh

They brought in the gifts and the tithes and the sacred things faithfully. Their supervisor was Conaniah the Levite, and Shimei his brother was second in rank.

vikhi'el va'azazyahu venakhat va'asahel virimot veyozavad ve'eli'el veyismakhyahu umakhat uvenayahu peqidim miyyad (khvnnyhv) [konanyahu] veshimi akhiv bemifqad yekhizqiyyahu hammelekh va'azaryahu negid bet-ha'elohim

Jehiel and Azaziah and Nahath and Asahel and Jerimoth and Jozabad and Eliel and Ismachiah and Mahath and Benaiah were commissioners under Conaniah and Shimei his brother by appointment of King Hezekiah; Azariah was supervisor of the House of God.

veqore ven-yimnah hallevi hasho'er lammizrakhah al nidvot ha'elohim latet terumat Adonai veqodshe haqqodashim

Kore son of Imnah the Levite, the keeper of the East Gate, was in charge of the freewill offerings to God, of the allocation of gifts to GOD, and the most sacred things.

ve'al-yado eden uminyamin veyeshua ushemayahu amaryahu ushekhanyahu be'are hakkohanim be'emunah latet la'akhehem bemakhleqot kaggadol kaqqatan

Under him were Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, in offices of trust in the priestly towns, making allocation to their brothers by divisions, to great and small alike;

millevad hityakhsam lizkharim mibben shalosh shanim ulemalah lekhol-habba levet-Adonai lidvar-yom beyomo la'avodatam bemishmerotam kemakhleqotehem

besides allocating their daily rations to those males registered by families from three years old and up, all who entered the House of GOD according to their service and their shift by division;

ve'et hityakhes hakkohanim levet avotehem vehaleviyyim mibben esrim shanah ulema'elah bemishmerotehem bemakhleqotehem

and in charge of the registry of priests by clans, and of the Levites, from twenty years old and up, by shifts, in their divisions;

ulehityakhes bekhol-tappam neshehem uvenehem uvenotehem lekhol-qahal ki ve'emunatam yitqaddeshu-qodesh

and the registry of the dependents of their whole company—wives, sons, and daughters—for, relying upon them, they sanctified themselves in holiness.

velivne aharon hakkohanim bisde migrash arehem bekhol-ir va'ir anashim asher niqqevu beshemot latet manot lekhol-zakhar bakkohanim ulekhol-hityakhes balviyyim

And for the Aaronite priests, in each and every one of their towns with adjoining fields, those named above were to allocate portions to every male of the priests and to every registered Levite.

vayya'as kazot yekhizqiyyahu bekhol-yehudah vayya'as hattov vehayyashar veha'emet lifne Adonai elohayw

Hezekiah did this throughout Judah. He acted in a way that was good, upright, and faithful before the ETERNAL his God.

uvekhol-ma'aseh asher-hekhel ba'avodat bet-ha'elohim uvattorah uvammitsvah lidrosh lelohayw bekhol-levavo asah vehitsliakh

Every work he undertook in the service of the House of God or in the Teaching and the Commandment, to worship his God, he did with all his heart; and he prospered.
