II Chronicles 31

cumque haec fuissent rite celebrata egressus est omnis Israhel qui inventus fuerat in urbibus Iuda et fregerunt simulacra succideruntque lucos demoliti sunt excelsa et altaria destruxerunt non solum de universo Iuda et Beniamin sed de Ephraim quoque et Manasse donec penitus everterent reversique sunt omnes filii Israhel in possessiones et civitates suas

Now when all this was finished, all Israel that were present went out to the cities of Judah, and brake the images in pieces, and cut down the groves, and threw down the high places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim also and Manasseh, until they had utterly destroyed them all. Then all the children of Israel returned, every man to his possession, into their own cities.

Ezechias vero 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 in portis castrorum Domini

And Hezekiah appointed the courses of the priests and the Levites after their courses, every man according to his service, the priests and Levites for burnt offerings and for peace offerings, to minister, and to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the tents of the LORD.

pars autem regis erat ut de propria eius substantia offerretur holocaustum mane semper et vespere sabbatis quoque et kalendis et sollemnitatibus ceteris sicut scriptum est in lege Mosi

He appointed also the king's portion of his substance for the burnt offerings, to wit, for the morning and evening burnt offerings, and the burnt offerings for the sabbaths, and for the new moons, and for the set feasts, as it is written in the law of the LORD.

praecepit etiam populo habitantium Hierusalem ut darent partes sacerdotibus et Levitis et possent vacare legi Domini

Moreover he commanded the people that dwelt in Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might be encouraged in the law of the LORD.

quod cum percrebruisset in auribus multitudinis plurimas obtulere primitias filii Israhel frumenti vini et olei mellis quoque et omnium quae gignit humus decimas obtulerunt

And as soon as the commandment came abroad, the children of Israel brought in abundance the firstfruits of corn, wine, and oil, and honey, and of all the increase of the field; and the tithe of all things brought they in abundantly.

sed et filii Israhel et Iuda qui habitabant in urbibus Iuda obtulerunt decimas boum et ovium decimasque sanctorum quae voverant Domino Deo suo atque universa portantes fecerunt acervos plurimos

And concerning the children of Israel and Judah, that dwelt in the cities of Judah, they also brought in the tithe of oxen and sheep, and the tithe of holy things which were consecrated unto the LORD their God, and laid them by heaps.

mense tertio coeperunt acervorum iacere fundamenta et mense septimo conpleverunt eos

In the third month they began to lay the foundation of the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month.

cumque ingressi fuissent Ezechias et principes eius viderunt acervos et benedixerunt Domino ac populo Israhel

And when Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed the LORD, and his people Israel.

interrogavitque Ezechias sacerdotes et Levitas cur ita iacerent acervi

Then Hezekiah questioned with the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps.

respondit illi Azarias sacerdos primus de stirpe Sadoc dicens ex quo coeperunt offerri primitiae in domo Domini comedimus et saturati sumus remanseruntque plurima eo quod benedixerit Dominus populo suo reliquiarum autem copia est ista quam cernis

And Azariah the chief priest of the house of Zadok answered him, and said, Since the people began to bring the offerings into the house of the LORD, we have had enough to eat, and have left plenty: for the LORD hath blessed his people; and that which is left is this great store.

praecepit igitur Ezechias ut praepararent horrea in domo Domini quod cum fecissent

Then Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the house of the LORD; and they prepared them,

intulerunt tam primitias quam decimas et quaecumque voverant fideliter fuit autem praefectus eorum Chonenias Levita et Semei frater eius secundus

And brought in the offerings and the tithes and the dedicated things faithfully: over which Cononiah the Levite was ruler, and Shimei his brother was the next.

post quem Ieihel et Azazias et Naath et Asahel et Ierimoth Iozabath quoque et Helihel et Iesmachias et Maath et Banaias praepositi sub manibus Choneniae et Semei fratris eius ex imperio Ezechiae regis et Azariae pontificis domus Domini ad quos omnia pertinebant

And Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath, and Asahel, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Ismachiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah, were overseers under the hand of Cononiah and Shimei his brother, at the commandment of Hezekiah the king, and Azariah the ruler of the house of God.

Core vero filius Iemna Levites et ianitor orientalis portae praepositus erat his quae sponte offerebantur Domino primitiisque et consecratis in sancta sanctorum

And Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the porter toward the east, was over the freewill offerings of God, to distribute the oblations of the LORD, and the most holy things.

et sub cura eius Eden et Meniamin Hiesue et Sameias Amarias quoque et Sechenias in civitatibus sacerdotum ut fideliter distribuerent fratribus suis partes minoribus atque maioribus

And next him were Eden, and Miniamin, and Jeshua, and Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, in their set office, to give to their brethren by courses, as well to the great as to the small:

exceptis maribus ab annis tribus et supra cunctis qui ingrediebantur templum Domini et quicquid per dies singulos conducebat in ministerio atque observationibus iuxta divisiones suas

Beside their genealogy of males, from three years old and upward, even unto every one that entereth into the house of the LORD, his daily portion for their service in their charges according to their courses;

sacerdotibus per familias et Levitis a vicesimo anno et supra per ordines et turmas suas

Both to the genealogy of the priests by the house of their fathers, and the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in their charges by their courses;

universaeque multitudini tam uxoribus quam liberis eorum utriusque sexus fideliter cibi de his quae sanctificata fuerant praebebantur

And to the genealogy of all their little ones, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, through all the congregation: for in their set office they sanctified themselves in holiness:

sed et filiorum Aaron per agros et suburbana urbium singularum dispositi erant viri qui partes distribuerent universo sexui masculino de sacerdotibus et Levitis

Also of the sons of Aaron the priests, which were in the fields of the suburbs of their cities, in every several city, the men that were expressed by name, to give portions to all the males among the priests, and to all that were reckoned by genealogies among the Levites.

fecit ergo Ezechias universa quae diximus in omni Iuda operatusque est bonum et rectum et verum coram Domino Deo suo

And thus did Hezekiah throughout all Judah, and wrought that which was good and right and truth before the LORD his God.

in universa cultura ministerii domus Domini iuxta legem et caerimonias volens requirere Deum suum in toto corde suo fecitque et prosperatus est

And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart, and prospered.
