29–BOB
Yahudo shohi Hizqiyo
1 Hizqiyo yigirma besh yoshida shoh boʻldi. U Quddusda yigirma toʻqqiz yil shohlik qildi. Onasining ismi Abiyo boʻlib, Zakariyoning qizi edi. 2 Hizqiyo, bobosi Dovud kabi, Egamiz oldida toʻgʻri ishlar qildi.
Maʼbad poklanadi
3 Hizqiyo oʻz hukmronligining birinchi yili birinchi oyida Egamizning uyi eshiklarini qaytadan ochdi , ularni tuzattirdi. 4 Soʻng ruhoniylarni va levilarni chaqirtirib, ularni Maʼbadning sharqiy hovlisiga toʻpladi. 5 Hizqiyo ularga dedi:
— Gapimni eshitinglar, ey levilar! Oʻzlaringizni poklanglar, ota–bobolaringiz Xudosi — Egamizning uyini ham poklanglar! Bu muqaddas joydan harom narsalarni chiqarib tashlanglar! 6 Bizning ota–bobolarimiz bevafo edilar. Ular Egamiz Xudo oldida yomon ishlar qilib, Uni tark etdilar. Egamizning makonidan yuzlarini oʻgirib, Unga orqalarini burdilar. 7 Maʼbad eshiklarini yopib tashladilar, chiroqlarni oʻchirib qoʻydilar. Isroil xalqining Xudosiga atab, muqaddas maskanda tutatqi tutatilmaydigan, qurbonliklar kuydirilmaydigan boʻldi. 8 Shuning uchun Yahudo va Quddusga Egamiz Oʻz qahrini sochdi. Ularning ahvolidan hamma yoqasini ushlab, dahshatu vahimaga tushdi. Siz oʻzingiz ham bundan xabardorsiz. 9 Shuning uchun otalarimiz jangda halok boʻldi, xotinu oʻgʻil–qizlarimiz asirlikka olib ketildi. 10 Egamiz bizdan Oʻz qahrini qaytarsin deb, men Isroil xalqining Xudosi — Egamiz bilan ahd qilishga qaror etdim. 11 Oʻgʻillarim! Endi eʼtiborsiz boʻlmanglar, chunki Egamiz sizlarni Uning huzurida xizmat qilishingiz uchun va qurbonliklar kuydirishingiz uchun tanlab olgan.
12 Levilardan quyidagilar shu yerda edilar:
Qohot naslidan — Emosay oʻgʻli Maxat, Ozariyo oʻgʻli Yoʻel,
Marori naslidan — Abdi oʻgʻli Kish va Yoxalil oʻgʻli Ozariyo,
Gershon naslidan — Zimmo oʻgʻli Yoʻx, Yoʻx oʻgʻli Eden,
13 Elizofon naslidan — Shimri, Yoval,
Osif naslidan — Zakariyo, Mattaniyo,
14 Xaman naslidan — Yoxiyol, Shimax,
Yodutun naslidan — Shamayo va Uziyol.
15 Ruhoniylar bilan levilar qolgan levi birodarlarini toʻplab, hammasi oʻzlarini pokladilar. Soʻng shohning farmoni boʻyicha, Egamizning qonun–qoidalariga rioya qilgan holda, Egamizning uyini poklay boshladilar . 16-17 Ular birinchi oyning birinchi kunida ishga kirishib, sakkiz kun davomida Egamiz uyining hovlilarini pokladilar. Keyingi sakkiz kun davomida uyning oʻzini pokladilar. Ruhoniylar Egamizning uyiga kirib, Maʼbaddagi hamma harom–xarish narsalarni Egamiz uyining hovlisiga olib chiqdilar. Levilar esa bu narsalarni shahar tashqarisiga, Qidron soyligiga olib borib tashladilar. Birinchi oyning oʻn oltinchi kuniga kelib, hamma ishlarini tugatdilar.
18 Soʻngra ular shoh Hizqiyo huzuriga borib, shunday dedilar:
— Biz Egamizning butun uyini, qurbonlik kuydiriladigan qurbongohni va qurbongohning hamma ashyolarini, muqaddas nonlar qoʻyiladigan xontaxtani va xontaxtaning hamma ashyolarini pokladik. 19 Shoh Oxoz oʻz bevafoligi dastidan chiqarib tashlagan hamma ashyolarni biz olib kelib, pokladik. Mana, ularning hammasi Egamizning qurbongohi oldida turibdi.
Maʼbadda xizmat tiklanadi
20 Shoh Hizqiyo ertasi kuni saharda shahar aʼyonlarini toʻplab, hammalarini Egamizning uyiga boshlab bordi. 21 Ular shoh xonadonining va Yahudo xalqining gunohini yuvish uchun hamda Maʼbadni poklash uchun gunoh qurbonligi qilib yettita buqa, yettita qoʻchqor, yettita qoʻchqor qoʻzi va yettita takani olib keldilar. Horun naslidan boʻlgan ruhoniylarga shoh: “Bularni Egamizning qurbongohida nazr qilinglar!” deb buyurdi. 22 Ruhoniylar buqalarni soʻyib, qonini qurbongohga sepdilar. Keyin qoʻchqorlarni soʻyib, qonini qurbongohga sepdilar. Qoʻzilarni ham soʻyib, qonini qurbongohga sepdilar. 23 Soʻngra gunoh qurbonligi qilinadigan takalarni shoh va jamoa oldiga olib keldilar. Ular qoʻllarini takalar ustiga qoʻydilar. 24 Ruhoniylar takalarni soʻydilar, butun xalqni gunohlaridan poklash uchun qonni qurbongohga sepdilar. Negaki, shoh: “Kuydiriladigan qurbonliklar va gunoh qurbonliklari jamiki Isroil uchun qilinsin”, deb farmon bergan edi.
25 Hizqiyo shoh Dovudning koʻrsatmalariga rioya qilib, levilarni Egamizning uyiga joylashtirdi, ularga zil, arfa va liralarni berdi. Bu koʻrsatmalarni Dovudga Egamiz Oʻz paygʻambarlari Gad va Natan orqali bergan edi. Gad shoh Dovudning xizmatidagi valiy edi. 26 Levilar Dovudning cholgʻu asboblarini olib, ruhoniylar karnaylarini olib, oʻz joylarini egalladilar. 27 Shundan keyin Hizqiyo: “Qurbongohda qurbonliklar kuydirilsin!” deb buyurdi. Qurbonliklar kuydirila boshlangan zahoti qoʻshiqchilar Dovudning cholgʻu asboblari va karnaylar joʻrligida Egamizga hamdu sanolar aytishni boshladilar. 28 Qurbonliklar kuydirilib boʻlguncha, butun jamoa sajda qilib, qoʻshiqchilar qoʻshiq aytib, karnaychilar karnay chalib turdilar. 29 Qurbonlik tugagach, shoh Hizqiyo va butun xalq tiz choʻkib, Xudoga sajda qildi. 30 Shoh Hizqiyo bilan aʼyonlar levilarga: “Dovud va valiy Osif yozgan sanolarni aytib, Egamizni madh qilinglar!” deb buyurdilar. Levilar sevinch ila sano kuylab, tiz choʻkib sajda qildilar.
31 Keyin Hizqiyo xalqqa dedi:
— Mana, sizlar oʻzingizni Egamizga bagʻishladingizlar. Endi atagan qurbonligu shukrona nazrlaringizni Egamizning uyiga olib kelinglar.
Jamoa qurbonliklar va shukrona nazrlarini keltirdi. Baʼzilari esa koʻngildan chiqarib kuydiriladigan qurbonlik uchun hayvonlarni ham olib keldilar. 32 Kuydiriladigan qurbonlik uchun 70 ta buqa, 100 ta qoʻchqor va 200 ta qoʻzi keltirildi. 33 Bulardan tashqari, jamoa 600 ta buqa va 3000 ta qoʻyni qurbonlik qilish uchun olib keldi. 34 Ammo ruhoniylar ozchilik boʻlganlari uchun kuydiriladigan hayvonlarning terisini shilishga ulgura olmayotgan edilar. Shu sababdan ularning qarindoshlari levilar to ish tugaguncha va boshqa ruhoniylar oʻzlarini poklaguncha ularga qarashib turdilar. Levilar, ruhoniylarga qaraganda, oʻzlarini poklash masalasiga jiddiyroq yondashgan edilar. 35 Kuydiriladigan qurbonliklarning miqdori nihoyatda koʻp edi. Bulardan tashqari, tinchlik qurbonliklarining yogʻlari va kuydiriladigan qurbonliklar bilan birga keltiriladigan sharob nazri ham gʻoyatda moʻl edi. Shu yoʻsinda, Egamiz uyidagi xizmat qayta tiklandi. 36 Xudoning Oʻz xalqiga qilgan bu ishidan Hizqiyo va butun jamoa sevindi. Bularning hammasi qisqa vaqtda sodir boʻlgan edi.
1 Hezekiah began to reign when he was five and twenty years old, and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah. 2 And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that David his father had done.
3 ¶ He in the first year of his reign, in the first month, opened the doors of the house of the LORD, and repaired them. 4 And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them together into the east street, 5 And said unto them, Hear me, ye Levites, sanctify now yourselves, and sanctify the house of the LORD God of your fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the holy place . 6 For our fathers have trespassed, and done that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of the LORD, and turned their backs. 7 Also 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 unto the God of Israel. 8 Wherefore the wrath of the LORD was upon Judah and Jerusalem, and he hath delivered them to trouble, to astonishment, and to hissing, as ye see with your eyes. 9 For, lo, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this. 10 Now it is in mine heart to make a covenant with the LORD God of Israel, that his fierce wrath may turn away from us. 11 My sons, be not now negligent: for the LORD hath chosen you to stand before him, to serve him, and that ye should minister unto him, and burn incense.
12 ¶ Then 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 Jehalelel: and of the Gershonites; Joah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joah: 13 And of the sons of Elizaphan; Shimri, and Jeiel: and of the sons of Asaph; Zechariah, and Mattaniah: 14 And of the sons of Heman; Jehiel, and Shimei: and of the sons of Jeduthun; Shemaiah, and Uzziel. 15 And they gathered their brethren, and sanctified themselves, and came, according to the commandment of the king, by the words of the LORD, to cleanse the house of the LORD. 16 And the priests went into the inner part of the house of the LORD, to cleanse it , and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of the LORD into the court of the house of the LORD. And the Levites took it , to carry it out abroad into the brook Kidron. 17 Now 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 the LORD: so they sanctified the house of the LORD in eight days; and in the sixteenth day of the first month they made an end. 18 Then they went in to Hezekiah the king, and said, We have cleansed all the house of the LORD, and the altar of burnt offering, with all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread table, with all the vessels thereof. 19 Moreover all the vessels, which king Ahaz in his reign did cast away in his transgression, have we prepared and sanctified, and, behold, they are before the altar of the LORD.
20 ¶ Then Hezekiah the king rose early, and gathered the rulers of the city, and went up to the house of the LORD. 21 And they brought seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven he goats, for a sin offering for the kingdom, and for the sanctuary, and for Judah. And he commanded the priests the sons of Aaron to offer them on the altar of the LORD. 22 So they killed the bullocks, and the priests received the blood, and sprinkled it on the altar: likewise, when they had killed the rams, they sprinkled the blood upon the altar: they killed also the lambs, and they sprinkled the blood upon the altar. 23 And they brought forth the he goats for the sin offering before the king and the congregation; and they laid their hands upon them: 24 And the priests killed them, and they made reconciliation with their blood upon the altar, to make an atonement for all Israel: for the king commanded that the burnt offering and the sin offering should be made for all Israel. 25 And he set the Levites in the house of the LORD with cymbals, with psalteries, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, and of Gad the king’s seer, and Nathan the prophet: for so was the commandment of the LORD by his prophets. 26 And the Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets. 27 And Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt offering upon the altar. And when the burnt offering began, the song of the LORD began also with the trumpets, and with the instruments ordained by David king of Israel. 28 And all the congregation worshipped, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded: and all this continued until the burnt offering was finished. 29 And when they had made an end of offering, the king and all that were present with him bowed themselves, and worshipped. 30 Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praise unto the LORD with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshipped. 31 Then Hezekiah answered and said, Now ye have consecrated yourselves unto the LORD, come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into the house of the LORD. And the congregation brought in sacrifices and thank offerings; and as many as were of a free heart burnt offerings. 32 And the number of the burnt offerings, which the congregation brought, was threescore and ten bullocks, an hundred rams, and two hundred lambs: all these were for a burnt offering to the LORD. 33 And the consecrated things were six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep. 34 But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all the burnt offerings: wherefore their brethren the Levites did help them, till the work was ended, and until the other priests had sanctified themselves: for the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests. 35 And also the burnt offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace offerings, and the drink offerings for every burnt offering. So the service of the house of the LORD was set in order. 36 And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, that God had prepared the people: for the thing was done suddenly.
