2 Hou Olelesu 29
1 Hesigaia da lalelegele ode 25 gidigiloba, Yuda fi ilia hina bagade hamoi. E da Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade esala, Yuda fi ode 29 agoanega ouligilalu. Ea ame da Abaidia (Segalaia idiwi).
Hezekiah was 25 years old when he became the king [of Judah]. He ruled from Jerusalem for 29 years. His mother was Abijah, the daughter of [a man whose name was] Zechariah.
2 E da ea aowa Da: ibidi defele, Hina Gode ba: ma: ne, moloidafa hou hamonanu.
Hezekiah did things that Yahweh considered to be right, like his ancestor King David had done.
3 Hesigaia ea bai muni ouligi ode gidigili, ode eno amo, oubi agega, e da Debolo Diasu logo doasili, logo ga: su dodoa: i.
During March of the first year that Hezekiah was ruling Judah, he unlocked the doors of the temple, and his workers repaired them.
4 E da gobele salasu dunu amola Lifai fi dunu mogili, Debolo gusudili gagoi ganodini gilisi.
Then he gathered the priests and other descendants of Levi in the area on the east side of the temple,
5 Amogawi, e da ilima amane sia: i, “Dilia huluane nigima: fadegama: ne, hano ulalu, Gode Ea hawa: hamomusa: momogili gagama. Amola dilia aowalalia Hina Gode Ea Debolo Diasu, amoga ledo liligi huluane fadegale, bu modale ligiagama.
and he said to them, “You descendants of Levi, listen to me! Consecrate yourselves. And then consecrate the temple of Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors [worshiped/belonged to]. Remove from the temple all the things that are not pleasing to God.
6 Ninia aowalalia, da Hina Godema baligi fa: su, amola amo hou E da higa: i ba: su. Ilia da E fisiagai, amola sogebi Ea esalebe amo baligi fa: su.
Our ancestors disobeyed God; they did many things that he considered to be evil, things that were not pleasing to him. They abandoned this place where Yahweh lives, and they have turned away from him.
7 Ilia da Debolo logo ga: i amola gamali huluane ha: ba: doma: ne yolesi. Ilia da Isala: ili Hina Gode Ea Debolo Diasu ganodini, gabusiga: manoma hame gobele sali, amola Ema ohe hame gobele sali.
They locked the doors of the temple and extinguished the lamps. They did not burn any incense, and they did not offer any sacrifices that were to be completely burned [on the altar].
8 Amaiba: le, Hina Gode da Yuda fi amola Yelusaleme fi ilima ougi galu. Amola ilima se iasu ba: beba: le, dunu huluane da fofagadigi amola bagade beda: i. Amo hou huluane dilia dawa:
Therefore, Yahweh has become very angry with us people of Jerusalem and [other places in] Judah, and he has caused other people to become frightened and horrified [when they hear what Yahweh did to punish us]. And they ridicule us. You know this very well.
9 Ninia ada huluane da gegesu ganodini medole lelegei dagoi ba: i. Ninia uda amola mano huluane mugululi, ga oule asi ba: i.
That is why our fathers have been killed in battles, and our sons and daughters and our wives have been captured and taken [to other countries].
10 Be wali, na da Isala: ili Hina Godema, gousa: su hamoma: ne ilegei dagoi. Amalu, E da ninima bu hame ougimu.
But now I intend to make an agreement with Yahweh, our God, in order that he will no longer be angry with us.
11 Nagofelali! Mae aligima! Dilia da Ema gabusiga: manoma gobele salima: ne, amola dunu huluane Ema nodone sia: ne gadosu hou bisima: ne, Isala: ili Hina Gode da dili ilegei dagoi.”
[You who are like] my sons, do not waste any time. [Do immediately what Yahweh wants you to do.] Yahweh has chosen you to stand in his presence and offer sacrifices and burn incense.”
12 Lifai fi dunu amogai esalu, ilia dio da: - Sosogo Fi Lifai fi dunu amogai esalu Gouha: de...Ma: iha: de (Amasa: iai egefe) amola Youele (A: salaia egefe) Milalai...Gisia (Simina egefe) amola Idini (Youa egefe) Gesione...Youa (Simina egefe) amola Idini (Youa egefe) Elisa: ifane...Simili amola Yiaiele A: isa: fe...Segalaia amola Ma: danaia Hima: ne...Yihaiele amola Simiai Yediudane...Siema: ia amola Asaiele
Then these descendants of Levi started to work [in the temple]: From the descendants of Kohath there were Mahath the son of Amasai, and Joel the son of Azariah. From the descendants of Merari there were Kish the son of Abdi, and Azariah the son of Jehallelel. From the descendants of Gershon there were Joah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joah.
From the descendants of Elizaphan there were Shimri and Jeiel. From the descendants of Asaph there were Zechariah and Mattaniah.
From the descendants of Heman there were Jehiel and Shimei. From the descendants of Jeduthun there were Shemaiah and Uzziel.
15 Amo dunu da ilia Lifai fi dunu eno gilisili, ilia huluane nigima: dodofei. Amalalu, hina bagade ea hamoma: ne sia: i defele, ilia da Hina Gode Ea Sema defele, bai muni Debolo Diasu nigima: dodofei.
When those men had gathered their fellow descendants of Levi and had consecrated themselves, they entered the temple in order to consecrate it. That was what the king had commanded them to do, and they were also obeying what Yahweh had commanded.
16 Gobele salasu dunu da Debolo Diasu nigima: dodofemusa: , Debolo diasua golili sa: i. Adi liligi da Gode Ea Sema dedei ganodini olelei, nigima: ba: loba, ilia gadili gaguli asi. Amogawi, Lifai fi da amo liligi lale, moilai hamega gadi gaguli asili, Gidalone Fagoga ligisi.
The priests entered the temple to consecrate it. They brought out into the courtyard of the temple everything that they had found in the temple that was not pleasing to Yahweh. Then the descendants of Levi took those things down to the Kidron Valley [and burned them there].
17 Ilia da amo hawa: , oubi age amola eso agega muni hamonana, eso godo amoga dagoi. Ilia Debolo Diasu amola higamuni nigima: dodofei. Amalalu, ilia da eso eno godoane hawa: hamonanu, Debolo da Godema nodone sia: ne gadoma: ne, momagei dagoi ba: i.
The priests and other descendants of Levi started this work on the first day of March and finished purifying the courtyard [of the temple] on the eighth day of that month, and they finished purifying the temple one week later.
18 Lifai fi dunu da hina bagade Hesigaiama amane sia: ne iasu, “Ninia da Debolo Diasu, liligi huluane ganodini diala, gobele salimusa: oloda, agi ga: gi legemusa: fafai amola amo hawa: hamomusa: liligi, amo huluane nigima: dodofei dagoi.
Then they went to King Hezekiah and reported, “We have purified all parts of the temple, and the altar where sacrifices are completely burned, and all the items used at the altar, the table on which the priests place the sacred bread, and the things [used at that table].
19 Hina bagade A: iha: se da Godema baligi fa: iba: le, Debolo liligi bagohame gaguli asi. Be amo huluane, ninia da bu lale, gaguli misini, nigima: dodofele, bu momodale ligiagai. Wali, amo liligi huluane da Hina Gode Ea oloda midadi diala.”
While Ahaz was our king, he disobeyed what Yahweh had commanded, and he removed from the temple many things [that should be there], but now we have brought them back and placed them in front of the sacred altar.”
20 Hina bagade Hesigaia da mae aligili, Yelusaleme mimogo dunu huluane gilisili, Debolo Diasua oule asi.
Early the next morning, King Hezekiah gathered together the city officials, and they went to the [courtyard of the] temple.
21 Ilia da hina bagade ea sosogo fi, amo ilia wadela: i hou fadegama: ne, amola Debolo Diasu nigima: dodofema: ne, bulamagau gawali fesuale, sibi fesuale, sibi mano fesuale amola goudi fesuale oule asi. Hina bagade Hesigaia da gobele salasu dunu (Elane egaga fi dunu) amola ilia amo ohe oloda da: iya gobele salima: ne sia: i.
They took with them seven bulls, seven rams, seven male lambs, and seven male goats to be an offering in order that Yahweh would forgive the sins of all the people in the kingdom of Judah, and in order to purify the temple. The king commanded that the priests, who were descendants of Aaron, should offer those animals to be sacrificed to Yahweh on the altar.
22 Gobele salasu dunu da bisili bulamagau gawali medole lelegei. Amo bagia sibi medole lelegei amalu sibi mano medole lelegei. Ilia da amo gobele salasu liligi afae afae ea maga: me oloda da: iya fogagaga: la: i.
So first the priests slaughtered those bulls, and took their blood and sprinkled it on the altar. Then they slaughtered the rams and sprinkled their blood on the altar. Then they slaughtered the lambs and sprinkled their blood on the altar.
23 Fa: no fisimusa: , ilia goudi amo hina bagade amola eno Godema nodone sia: ne gadosu dunu ilima oule asi. Ilia da ilia lobo goudi ilia dialuma da: iya ligisi.
The goats that were slaughtered to be an offering in order that Yahweh would forgive the sins of the people were brought to the king and the others who were there. Then the king and those who were present laid their hands on those goats.
24 Amalalu, gobele salasu dunu da goudi medole lelegele, ilia maga: me amo Isala: ili fi dunu ilia wadela: i hou fadegama: ne, oloda da: iya soga: si. Bai hina bagade ea hamoma: ne sia: i, da Isala: ili dunu huluane ilia wadela: i hou fadegama: ne, Wadela: i Hou Dabe Ima: ne amola Wadela: i Hou Gogolema: ne Olofoma: ne gobele salasu hamoma: ne sia: i.
Then the priests slaughtered those goats and splashed their blood on the altar in order that Yahweh would forgive the sins that all the Israeli people had committed. The priests did that because the king had commanded that offerings that would be completely burned [on the altar] and other sacrifices should be made for all the people of Israel.
25 Hina Gode da musa: Da: ibidi ea balofede dunu Ga: de amola balofede dunu Na: ida: ne amo ela lafidili hamoma: ne sia: si Da: ibidima sia: i. Amo hamoma: ne sia: si defele, hina bagade Hesigaia da hamoi. E da Lifai dunu, ilia sani baidama amola edado fasu, amo gaguli Debolo Diasu ganodini leloma: ne sia: i.
The king then told the descendants of Levi to stand in the temple with their cymbals and harps and lyres, obeying what David and his prophets Gad and Nathan had commanded. Those were things that Yahweh had told his prophets that the descendants of Levi should do.
26 Ilia gesami hea: lala dusu liligi da hina bagade Da: ibidi ea musa: dusu liligi agoai ba: i. Amola gobele salasu dunu da dalabede gaguli aliligi.
So the descendants of Levi [went and] stood in the temple, ready to play the musical instruments that King David had given to them. And the priests were ready to blow their trumpets.
27 Hesigaia da sia: beba: le, ilia da Wadela: i Hou Dabe Ima: ne gobele salasu Godema iamisi. Muni gobele salalalu, dunu huluane da Hina Godema nodosa gesami hea: i. Amola gesami hea: lala dusu liligi dunu da dalabede fulaboi, amola eno gesa: mi hea: lala dusu liligi dui.
Then Hezekiah told some of the priests to burn the animals that would be sacrificed on the altar. When they started to burn the animals, the people started to sing to [praise] Yahweh, while the other descendants of Levi were playing their instruments.
28 Dunu huluane amogai gilisi da Godema nodone sia: ne gadosu amola gesami hea: su amoga momadelai. Gesami hea: lala dusu dunu da dunanobawane, gobele salasu liligi da nei dagoi ba: i.
All the people who were there bowed to worship Yahweh, while the singers sang and the trumpeters blew their trumpets. They continued to do this until they had finished slaughtering all the animals that would be completely burned.
29 Amalalu, hina bagade Hesigaia amola dunu huluane da muguni buguli, Godema nodone sia: ne gadoi.
When they finished making those offerings, the king and all those who were there knelt down and worshiped Yahweh.
30 Hina bagade amola Yuda fi ouligisu dunu da Lifai fi dunuma, ilia da nodone gesami hea: su, amo Da: ibidi amola balofede dunu A: isa: fe ela dedei liligi, amo gesami hea: ma: ne sia: i. Amaiba: le, dunu huluane da hahawane bagade, muguni bugi dialawane, Godema nodone gesami hea: lalu.
Then King Hezekiah and his officials commanded the descendants of Levi to praise Yahweh, singing the songs [composed/written] by David and Asaph the prophet. So they sang songs joyfully and bowed their heads to worship.
31 Hesigaia da dunu gilisi ilima amane sia: i, “Dilia da wali dodofei dagoiba: le, Hina Godema momogili gagai dagoi. Amaiba: le, dilia Hina Godema hahawane nodone ima: ne, Ema gobele salasu liligi gaguli misa. Dunu huluane da ea sia: nabawane hamoi. Mogili da ili hanaiba: le, ohe gobele salimusa: oule mafia: i.
Then Hezekiah said, “You have now dedicated yourselves to Yahweh. So come close to the temple and bring animals to be sacrificed and other offerings to thank [Yahweh for what he has done for you].” And those who wanted to bring animals to be completely burned [on the altar] brought them.
32 Ilia da bulamagau gawali 70 agoane, sibi 100 agoane amola sibi mano 200 agoane, Hina Godema gobele salimusa: gaguli mafia: i.
Altogether they brought 70 bulls, 100 rams, and 200 male lambs to be completely burned on the altar.
33 Amola ilia da bulamagau gawali 600 agoane amola sibi 3,000 agoane, amo Godema gobele salimusa: , amola dunu moma: ne, oule misi.
The other animals that they brought were 600 bulls and 3,000 sheep and goats that were set apart to be sacrifices.
34 Gobele salasu dunu da amo ohe huluane medole legemu defele hame ba: i. Amaiba: le, Lifai fi dunu da ilia fidibiba: le, hawa: hamoi da dagoi ba: i. Dagoloba, gobele salasu dunu eno mogili da nigima: dodofei dagoi ba: i. (Lifai fi dunu ilia nigima: dodofesu hou da gobele salasu ilia hou baligisu. Bai gobele salasu dunu mogili da noga: le hame dodofei.)
But there were not enough priests to remove the skins from the animals that would be completely burned [on the altar]. So their fellow descendants of Levi helped them until that work was finished, and until other priests had purified/consecrated themselves to do that work. It was necessary for them to do that because many of the priests had not yet performed the rituals to consecrate themselves for that work, like the descendants of Levi had done.
35 Gobele salasu dunu da ohe gogo gobele sasalibi, amo hou ouligisu. Amola ilia da gobei ohe, amo dunu ilia moma: ne liligi, amoga sefe duga: le, laluma gobele sasalisu. Amola ilia da waini hano amo da ohe gobele salasu gilisili iasu, amogai soga: sisisu. Ilia da agoane Debolo Diasu ganodini, nodone sia: ne gadosu hou bu hemoi.
In addition to the all the offerings that were completely burned [on the altar], the priests also burned the fat of the other animals that were sacrificed to maintain good fellowship with Yahweh, and the usual wine offerings. So the worship at the temple began again.
36 Hina bagade Hesigaia amola dunu huluane da hahawane bagade ba: i. Bai Gode da amo hawa: hamosu hedolodafa hamoma: ne, ili noga: le fidi.
And Hezekiah and all the other people of Judah celebrated, because God had enabled them to do all those things very quickly.
