역대하 29

1히스기야가 위에 나아갈 때에 나이 이십오 세라 예루살렘에서 이십구 년을 치리하니라 그 모친의 이름은 아비야라 스가랴의 딸이더라 2히스기야가 그 조상 다윗의 모든 행위와 같이 여호와 보시기에 정직히 행하여 3원년 정월에 여호와의 전 문들을 열고 수리하고 4제사장들과 레위 사람들을 동편 광장에 모으고 5저희에게 이르되 레위 사람들아 내 말을 들으라 이제 너희는 성결케 하고 또 너희 열조의 하나님 여호와의 전을 성결케 하여 그 더러운 것을 성소에서 없이하라 6우리 열조가 범죄하여 우리 하나님 여호와 보시기에 악을 행하여 하나님을 버리고 얼굴을 돌이켜 여호와의 성소를 등지고 7또 낭실 문을 닫으며 등불을 끄고 성소에서 분향하지 아니하며 이스라엘 하나님께 번제를 드리지 아니한고로 8여호와께서 유다와 예루살렘을 진노하시고 내어버리사 두려움과 놀람과 비웃음거리가 되게 하신 것을 너희가 목도하는 바라 9이로 인하여 우리의 열조가 칼에 엎드러지며 우리의 자녀와 아내가 사로잡혔느니라 10이제 이스라엘 하나님 여호와로 더불어 언약을 세워 그 맹렬한 노로 우리에게서 떠나게 할 마음이 내게 있노니 11내 아들들아 이제는 게으르지 말라 여호와께서 이미 너희를 택하사 그 앞에 서서 수종들어 섬기며 분향하게 하셨느니라 12이에 레위 사람들이 일어나니 곧 그핫의 자손 중 아마새의 아들 마핫과 아사랴의 아들 요엘과 므라리의 자손 중 압디의 아들 기스와 여할렐렐의 아들 아사랴와 게르손 사람 중 심마의 아들 요아와 요아의 아들 에덴과 13엘리사반의 자손 중 시므리와 여우엘과 아삽의 자손 중 스가랴와 맛다냐와 14헤만의 자손 중 여후엘과 시므이와 여두둔의 자손 중 스마야와 웃시엘이라 15저희가 그 형제를 모아 성결케 하고 들어가서 왕이 여호와의 말씀대로 명한 것을 좇아 여호와의 전을 깨끗케 할새 16제사장들도 여호와의 전 안에 들어가서 깨끗케 하여 여호와의 전에 있는 모든 더러운 것을 끌어 내어 여호와의 전 뜰에 이르매 레위 사람들이 취하여 바깥 기드론 시내로 가져갔더라 17정월 초하루에 성결케하기를 시작하여 그 달 초팔일에 여호와의 낭실에 이르고 또 팔 일 동안 여호와의 전을 성결케 하여 정월 십육일에 이르러 마치고 18안으로 들어가서 히스기야 왕을 보고 가로되 우리가 여호와의 온 전과 번제단과 그 모든 기구와 떡을 진설하는 상과 그 모든 기구를 깨끗케 하였고 19또 아하스 왕이 위에 있어 범죄할 때에 버린 모든 기구도 우리가 정돈하고 성결케 하여 여호와의 단 앞에 두었나이다 하니라 20히스기야 왕이 일찍이 일어나 성읍의 귀인들을 모아 여호와의 전에 올라가서 21수송아지 일곱과 수양 일곱과 어린 양 일곱과 수염소 일곱을 끌어다가 나라와 성소와 유다를 위하여 속죄 제물을 삼고 아론의 자손 제사장들을 명하여 여호와의 단에 드리게 하니 22이에 수소를 잡으매 제사장이 그 피를 받아 단에 뿌리고 또 수양을 잡으매 그 피를 단에 뿌리고 또 어린 양을 잡으매 그 피를 단에 뿌리고 23이에 속죄 제물로 드릴 수염소를 왕과 회중의 앞으로 끌어 오매 저희가 그 위에 안수하고 24제사장이 잡아 그 피로 속죄제를 삼아 단에 드려 온 이스라엘을 위하여 속죄하니 이는 왕이 명하여 온 이스라엘을 위하여 번제와 속죄제를 드리게 하였음이더라 25왕이 레위 사람을 여호와의 전에 두어서 다윗과 왕의 선견자 갓과 선지자 나단의 명한대로 제금과 비파와 수금을 잡게 하니 이는 여호와께서 그 선지자들로 이렇게 명하셨음이라 26레위 사람은 다윗의 악기를 잡고 제사장은 나팔을 잡고 서매 27히스기야가 명하여 번제를 단에 드릴새 번제 드리기를 시작하는 동시에 여호와의 시로 노래하고 나팔을 불며 이스라엘 왕 다윗의 악기를 울리고 28온 회중이 경배하며 노래하는 자들은 노래하고 나팔 부는 자들은 나팔을 불어 번제를 마치기까지 이르니라 29제사 드리기를 마치매 왕과 그 함께 있는 자가 다 엎드려 경배하니라 30히스기야 왕이 귀인들로 더불어 레위 사람을 명하여 다윗과 선견자 아삽의 시로 여호와를 찬송하게 하매 저희가 즐거움으로 찬송하고 몸을 굽혀 경배하니라 31이에 히스기야가 일러 가로되 너희가 이제 몸을 깨끗케하여 여호와께 드렸으니 마땅히 나아와 제물과 감사제물을 여호와의 전으로 가져오라 회중이 드디어 제물과 감사제물을 가져 오되 무릇 마음에 원하는 자는 또한 번제물을 가져오니 32회중의 가져온 번제물의 수효는 수소가 칠십이요 수양이 일백이요 어린 양이 이백이니 이는 다 여호와께 번제물로 드리는 것이며 33또 구별하여 드린 소가 육백이요 양이 삼천이라 34그런데 제사장이 부족하여 그 모든 번제 짐승의 가죽을 능히 벗기지 못하는고로 그 형제 레위 사람이 그 일을 마치기까지 돕고 다른 제사장의 성결케 하기까지 기다렸으니 이는 레위 사람의 성결케함이 제사장들보다 성심이 있었음이라 35번제와 화목제의 기름과 각 번제에 속한 전제가 많더라 이와 같이 여호와의 전에서 섬기는 일이 순서대로 갖추어지니라 36이 일이 갑자기 되었을지라도 하나님이 백성을 위하여 예비하셨음을 인하여 히스기야가 백성으로 더불어 기뻐하였더라

1Hezekiah began to reign when he was twenty-five years old; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah. 2He did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that David his father had done. 3He in the first year of his reign, in the first month, opened the doors of Yahweh’s house, and repaired them. 4He brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them together into the broad place on the east, 5and said to them, “Listen to me, you Levites! Now sanctify yourselves, and sanctify Yahweh’s house, the God of your fathers, and carry out the filthiness out of the holy place. 6For our fathers have trespassed, and done that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of Yahweh, and turned their backs. 7Also they have shut up the doors of the porch, and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense nor offered burnt offerings in the holy place to the God of Israel. 8Therefore the wrath of Yahweh was on Judah and Jerusalem, and he has delivered them to be tossed back and forth, to be an astonishment, and a hissing, as you see with your eyes. 9For, behold, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this. 10Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with Yahweh, the God of Israel, that his fierce anger may turn away from us. 11My sons, don’t be negligent now; for Yahweh has chosen you to stand before him, to minister to him, and that you should be his ministers, and burn incense.” 12Then the Levites arose, Mahath, the son of Amasai, and Joel the son of Azariah, of the sons of the Kohathites; and of the sons of Merari, Kish the son of Abdi, and Azariah the son of Jehallelel; and of the Gershonites, Joah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joah; 13and of the sons of Elizaphan, Shimri and Jeuel; and of the sons of Asaph, Zechariah and Mattaniah; 14and of the sons of Heman, Jehuel and Shimei; and of the sons of Jeduthun, Shemaiah and Uzziel. 15They gathered their brothers, and sanctified themselves, and went in, according to the commandment of the king by Yahweh’s words, to cleanse Yahweh’s house. 16The priests went in to the inner part of Yahweh’s house, to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in Yahweh’s temple into the court of Yahweh’s house. The Levites took it, to carry it out abroad to the brook Kidron. 17Now they began on the first day of the first month to sanctify, and on the eighth day of the month came they to the porch of Yahweh; and they sanctified Yahweh’s house in eight days: and on the sixteenth day of the first month they made an end. 18Then they went in to Hezekiah the king within the palace, and said, “We have cleansed all Yahweh’s house, and the altar of burnt offering, with all its vessels, and the table of show bread, with all its vessels. 19Moreover all the vessels, which king Ahaz in his reign threw away when he trespassed, have we prepared and sanctified; and behold, they are before the altar of Yahweh.” 20Then Hezekiah the king arose early, and gathered the princes of the city, and went up to Yahweh’s house. 21They brought seven bulls, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven male goats, for a sin offering for the kingdom and for the sanctuary and for Judah. He commanded the priests the sons of Aaron to offer them on the altar of Yahweh. 22So they killed the bulls, and the priests received the blood, and sprinkled it on the altar: and they killed the rams, and sprinkled the blood on the altar: they killed also the lambs, and sprinkled the blood on the altar. 23They brought near the male goats for the sin offering before the king and the assembly; and they laid their hands on them: 24and the priests killed them, and they made a sin offering with their blood on the altar, to make atonement for all Israel; for the king commanded that the burnt offering and the sin offering should be made for all Israel. 25He set the Levites in Yahweh’s house with cymbals, with stringed instruments, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, and of Gad the king’s seer, and Nathan the prophet; for the commandment was of Yahweh by his prophets. 26The Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets. 27Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt offering on the altar. When the burnt offering began, the song of Yahweh began also, and the trumpets, together with the instruments of David king of Israel. 28All the assembly worshiped, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded; all this continued until the burnt offering was finished. 29When they had made an end of offering, the king and all who were present with him bowed themselves and worshiped. 30Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praises to Yahweh with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. They sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshiped. 31Then Hezekiah answered, “Now you have consecrated yourselves to Yahweh; come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into Yahweh’s house.” The assembly brought in sacrifices and thank offerings; and as many as were of a willing heart brought burnt offerings. 32The number of the burnt offerings which the assembly brought was seventy bulls, one hundred rams, and two hundred lambs: all these were for a burnt offering to Yahweh. 33The consecrated things were six hundred head of cattle and three thousand sheep. 34But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all the burnt offerings: therefore their brothers the Levites helped them, until the work was ended, and until the priests had sanctified themselves; for the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests. 35Also the burnt offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace offerings, and with the drink offerings for every burnt offering. So the service of Yahweh’s house was set in order. 36Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, because of that which God had prepared for the people: for the thing was done suddenly.

1Jehizkia werd koning, vijf en twintig jaren oud zijnde, en regeerde negen en twintig jaren te Jeruzalem; en de naam zijner moeder was Abia, een dochter van Zacharia. 2En hij deed dat recht was in de ogen des HEEREN, naar alles, wat zijn vader David gedaan had. 3Dezelve deed in het eerste jaar zijner regering, in de eerste maand, de deuren van het huis des HEEREN open, en beterde ze. 4En hij bracht de priesteren en de Levieten in, en hij verzamelde ze in de Ooststraat. 5En hij zeide tot hen: Hoort mij, o Levieten; heiligt nu uzelven, en heiligt het huis des HEEREN, des Gods uwer vaderen, en brengt de onreinigheid uit van het heiligdom. 6Want onze vaders hebben overtreden, en gedaan dat kwaad was in de ogen des HEEREN, onzes Gods, en hebben Hem verlaten, en zij hebben hun aangezichten van den tabernakel des HEEREN omgewend, en hebben den nek toegekeerd. 7Ook hebben zij de deuren van het voorhuis toegesloten, en de lampen uitgeblust en het reukwerk niet gerookt; en het brandoffer hebben zij in het heiligdom aan de God Israels niet geofferd. 8Daarom is een grote toorn des HEEREN over Juda en Jeruzalem geweest; en Hij heeft hen overgegeven ter beroering, ter verwoesting en ter aanfluiting, gelijk als gij ziet met uw ogen. 9Want ziet, onze vaders zijn door het zwaard gevallen; daartoe onze zonen, en onze dochteren, en onze vrouwen zijn daarom in gevangenis geweest. 10Nu is het in mijn hart een verbond te maken met den HEERE, den God Israels, opdat de hitte Zijns toorns van ons afkere. 11Mijn zonen, weest nu niet traag; want de HEERE heeft u verkoren, dat gij voor Zijn aangezicht staan zoudt, om Hem te dienen; en opdat gij Hem dienaars en wierokers zoudt wezen. 12Toen maakten zich de Levieten op, Mahath, de zoon van Amasai, en Joel, de zoon van Azarja, van de kinderen der Kahathieten; en van de kinderen van Merari, Kis, de zoon van Abdi, en Azarja, de zoon van Jehaleel; en van de Gersonieten, Joah, de zoon van Zimma, en Eden, de zoon van Joah; 13En van de kinderen van Elizafan, Simri en Jeiel; en van de kinderen van Asaf, Zecharja en Mattanja; 14En van de kinderen van Heman, Jehiel en Simei; en van de kinderen van Jeduthun, Semaja en Uzziel. 15En zij verzamelden hun broederen, en heiligden zich, en kwamen, naar het gebod des konings, door de woorden des HEEREN, om het huis des HEEREN te reinigen. 16Maar de priesteren gingen binnen in het huis des HEEREN, om dat te reinigen, en zij brachten uit in het voorhof van het huis des HEEREN al de onreinigheid, die zij in den tempel des HEEREN vonden; en de Levieten namen ze op, om naar buiten uit te brengen, in de beek Kidron. 17Zij begonnen nu te heiligen op den eersten der eerste maand, en op den achtsten dag der maand kwamen zij in het voorhuis des HEEREN, en heiligden het huis des HEEREN in acht dagen; en op den zestienden dag der eerste maand maakten zij een einde. 18Daarna kwamen zij binnen tot den koning Hizkia, en zeiden: Wij hebben het gehele huis des HEEREN gereinigd, mitsgaders het brandofferaltaar met al zijn gereedschap, en de tafel der toerichting met al haar gereedschap. 19Alle gereedschap ook, dat de koning Achaz, onder zijn koninkrijk, door zijn overtreding weggeworpen had, hebben wij bereid en geheiligd; en zie, zij zijn voor het altaar des HEEREN. 20Toen maakte zich de koning Jehizkia vroeg op, en verzamelde de oversten der stad, en hij ging op in het huis des HEEREN. 21En zij brachten zeven varren, en zeven rammen, en zeven lammeren, en zeven geitenbokken ten zondoffer voor het koninkrijk, en voor het heiligdom, en voor Juda; en hij zeide tot de zonen van Aaron, de priesteren, dat zij die op het altaar des HEEREN zouden offeren. 22Zo slachtten zij de runderen, en de priesters ontvingen het bloed, en sprengden het op het altaar; zij slachtten ook de rammen, en sprengden het bloed op het altaar; insgelijks slachtten zij de lammeren, en sprengden het bloed op het altaar. 23Daarna brachten zij de bokken bij, ten zondoffer, voor het aangezicht des konings en der gemeente, en zij legden hun handen op dezelve. 24En de priesteren slachtten ze, en ontzondigden met derzelver bloed op het altaar, om verzoening te doen voor het ganse Israel; want de koning had dat brandoffer en dat zondoffer voor gans Israel bevolen. 25En hij stelde de Levieten in het huis des HEEREN, met cimbalen, met luiten en harpen, naar het gebod van David, en van Gad, den ziener des konings, en van Nathan, den profeet; want dit gebod was van de hand des HEEREN, door de hand Zijner profeten. 26De Levieten nu stonden met de instrumenten van David, en de priesters met de trompetten. 27En Hizkia beval, dat men het brandoffer op het altaar zou offeren; ten tijde nu, als dat brandoffer begon, begon het gezang des HEEREN met de trompetten en met de instrumenten van David, den koning van Israel. 28De ganse gemeente nu boog zich neder, als men het gezang zong, en met trompetten trompette; dit alles totdat het brandoffer voleind was. 29Als men nu geeindigd had te offeren, bukten de koning en allen, die bij hem gevonden waren, en bogen zich neder. 30Daarna zeide de koning Jehizkia, en de oversten, tot de Levieten, dat zij den HEERE loven zouden, met de woorden van David en van Asaf, den ziener; en zij loofden tot blijdschap toe; en neigden hun hoofden, en bogen zich neder. 31En Jehizkia antwoordde en zeide: Nu hebt gij uw handen den HEERE gevuld, treedt toe, en brengt slachtofferen en lofofferen tot het huis des HEEREN; en de gemeente bracht slachtofferen en lofofferen en alle vrijwilligen van harte brandofferen. 32En het getal der brandofferen, die de gemeente bracht, was zeventig runderen, honderd rammen, tweehonderd lammeren; deze alle den HEERE ten brandoffer. 33Nog waren der geheiligde dingen zeshonderd runderen en drie duizend schapen. 34Doch van de priesteren waren er te weinig, en zij konden al den brandofferen de huid niet aftrekken; daarom hielpen hen hun broederen, de Levieten, totdat het werk geeindigd was, en totdat de andere priesters zich geheiligd hadden; want de Levieten waren rechter van hart, om zich te heiligen, dan de priesteren. 35En ook waren de brandofferen in menigte, met het vet der dankofferen, en met de drankofferen, voor de brandofferen; alzo werd de dienst van het huis des HEEREN besteld. 36Jehizkia nu en al het volk verblijdden zich over hetgeen God het volk voorbereid had; want deze zaak geschiedde haastelijk.
