1 Hezekiya anali wa zaka 25 pamene anakhala mfumu ndipo analamulira mu Yerusalemu kwa zaka 29. Dzina la amayi ake linali Abiya mwana wa Zekariya.

Naʻe uofulu taʻu mo e taʻu ʻe nima ʻae motuʻa ʻo Hesekaia ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe uofulu ma hiva ʻi Selūsalema. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko ʻApisa ko e ʻofefine ʻo Sakalia.

2 Iye anachita zolungama pamaso pa Yehova, monga momwe anachitira Davide abambo ake.

Pea naʻe fai lelei ʻe ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fai ʻe Tevita ko ʻene tamai.

3 Pa chaka choyamba cha ulamuliro wake, iye anatsekula zitseko za Nyumba ya Yehova ndipo anazikonza.

ʻI he ʻuluaki taʻu ʻo ʻene pule, ʻi he ʻuluaki māhina, naʻa ne toʻo ʻae ngaahi matapā ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova, ʻo ne ngaohi ia ke lelei.

4 Iye analowetsamo ansembe ndi Alevi ndipo anawasonkhanitsa ku bwalo lakummawa

Pea ne ʻomi ʻae kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livai, ʻo ne tānaki ʻakinautolu ke fakataha ki he hala fakahahake.

5 ndipo anati: “Mverani, inu Alevi! Dziyeretseni tsopano ndiponso muyeretse Nyumba ya Yehova Mulungu wa makolo anu. Muchotse zodetsa zonse ku malo opatulika.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, ʻae kau Livai, “Ke mou tokanga kiate au, ko eni mou fakamaʻa ʻakimoutolu, pea fakamaʻa ʻae fale ʻo Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, pea mou fetuku atu ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻuli mei he potu māʻoniʻoni.

6 Makolo athu anali osakhulupirika ndipo anachita zoyipa pa maso pa Yehova Mulungu wathu ndi kumusiya Yehovayo. Iwo anatembenuka ndi kusiya malo okhalako Yehova ndi kumufulatira.

He naʻe fai hala ʻetau ngaahi tamai, pea fai ʻaia naʻe kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua, pea naʻa nau liʻaki ia, pea naʻe tafoki honau mata mei he fale nofoʻanga ʻo Sihova, pea fulituʻa ki ai.

7 Iwowo anatsekanso zitseko zapakhonde ndi kuzimitsa nyale. Sanafukize lubani kapena kupereka nsembe zopsereza ku malo opatulika a Mulungu wa Israeli.

Pea kuo nau tāpuni ʻae ngaahi matapā ʻoe hūʻanga fale fakamalumalu, pea tāmateʻi ʻae ngaahi maama, pea naʻe ʻikai tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala pe ʻatu ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu ʻi he potu māʻoniʻoni ki he ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.

8 Kotero, Yehova anakwiyira Yuda ndi Yerusalemu. Iye anawasandutsa chinthu chochititsa mantha, choopsa ndiponso chonyozedwa monga momwe mukuonera ndi maso anuwa lero lino.

Ko ia naʻe tō ai ʻae houhau ʻa Sihova ki Siuta mo Selūsalema, pea naʻa ne tukuange ʻakinautolu ki he mamahi, mo e fakaofoofo, mo e fakaʻiseʻisa, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku mou mamata ai ʻaki homou mata.

9 Ichi nʼchifukwa chake makolo athu anaperekedwa ku lupanga ndipo nʼchifukwa chake ana athu aamuna ndi aakazi ndi akazi athu ali ku ukapolo.

Vakai, he kuo tō ʻetau ngaahi tamai ʻi he heletā, pea ʻoku nofo pōpula ʻi he meʻa ni hotau ngaahi foha mo hotau ngaahi ʻofefine mo hotau ngaahi uaifi.

10 Tsono ine ndikuganiza zochita pangano ndi Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli, kuti mkwiyo wake woopsawu utichokere.

Pea ko eni, ʻoku ʻi hoku loto ia ke fai ʻae fuakava kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ke tafoki hono houhau lahi meiate kitautolu.

11 Ana anga, musanyalanyaze tsopano, pakuti Yehova wakusankhani kuti muziyima pamaso pake ndi kumutumikira Iye, kugwira ntchito pamaso pake ndi kufukiza lubani.”

‌ʻE hoku ngaahi foha, ʻoua eni naʻa mou taʻetokanga: he kuo fili ʻakimoutolu ʻe Sihova ke tuʻu ʻi hono ʻao, ke tauhi ia, pea ke mou ngāue kiate ia, pea tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala.”

12 Ndipo Alevi awa anakonzeka kugwira ntchito: Kuchokera ku banja la Kohati, Mahati mwana wa Amasai ndi Yoweli mwana wa Azariya; kuchokera ku banja la Merari, Kisi mwana wa Abidi ndi Azariya mwana wa Yehaleleli; kuchokera ku banja la Geresoni, Yowa mwana wa Zima ndi Edeni mwana wa Yowa;

Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ai ʻae kau Livai, ko Mehati ko e foha ʻo ʻAmasai, mo Soeli ko e foha ʻo ʻAsalia, ʻi he ngaahi foha ʻoe kau Kohate: pea ʻi he ngaahi foha ʻo Melali, ko Kisi ko e foha ʻo ʻApiti, mo ʻAsalia ko e foha ʻo Sehalili: pea ʻi he kakai Kesoni: ko Soa ko e foha ʻo Sima, mo Iteni ko e foha ʻo Soe:

13 kuchokera kwa zidzukulu za Elizafani, Simiri ndi Yeiyeli; kuchokera kwa zidzukulu za Asafu, Zekariya ndi Mataniya;

Pea ʻi he ngaahi foha ʻo ʻIlisafani: ko Simili, mo Sieli: pea ʻi he ngaahi foha ʻo ʻAsafi: ko Sakalia, mo Matania:

14 kuchokera kwa zidzukulu za Hemani, Yehieli ndi Simei; kuchokera kwa zidzukulu za Yedutuni, Semaya ndi Uzieli.

Pea ʻi he ngaahi foha ʻo Hemani: ko Sehieli, mo Simi: pea ʻi he ngaahi foha ʻo Situtuni: ko Simaia, mo ʻUsili.

15 Atasonkhanitsa abale awo ndi kudziyeretsa, iwo anapita kukayeretsa Nyumba ya Yehova, monga inalamulira mfumu, potsatira mawu a Yehova.

Pea naʻa nau fakakātoa honau ngaahi kāinga, pea fakamaʻa ʻakinautolu, pea haʻu, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻae tuʻi, ʻi he folofola ʻa Sihova, ke fakamaʻa ʻae fale ʻo Sihova.

16 Ansembe analowa ku malo opatulika a Yehova kukayeretsako. Anatulutsira ku bwalo la Nyumba ya Yehova chilichonse chodetsedwa chimene anachipeza mʼNyumba ya Yehova. Alevi anatenga zimenezo ndi kupita nazo ku chigwa cha Kidroni.

Pea naʻe hū ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ki he potu ʻi loto ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, ke fakamaʻa ia, ʻonau fetuku mei ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻuli kotoa pē naʻa nau ʻilo ʻi he faletapu ʻo Sihova ki he lotoʻā ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova. Pea naʻe ʻave ia ʻe he kau Livai, ʻo fetuku ia ki he mamaʻo ki he vaitafe ko Kitiloni.

17 Iwo anayamba mwambo woyeretsawu tsiku loyamba la mwezi woyamba ndipo pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chitatu la mweziwo anafika pa khonde la nyumba ya Yehova. Tsono anachita mwambo woyeretsa Nyumba ya Yehova ija masiku asanu ndi atatu, ndipo anamaliza pa tsiku la 16 mwezi woyamba.

Pea naʻa nau kamata ʻi he ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻoe ʻuluaki māhina ke fakamaʻa, pea ʻi hono valu ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina naʻa nau hoko ki he hūʻanga fale fakamalumalu ʻo Sihova: ko ia naʻa nau fakamaʻa ʻae fale ʻo Sihova ʻi he ʻaho ʻe valu: pea ʻi hono ʻaho ʻe hongofulu ma ono ʻi he ʻuluaki māhina naʻa nau fakaʻosi.

18 Ndipo anapita kwa mfumu Hezekiya ndi kukafotokoza kuti, “Ife tayeretsa Nyumba ya Mulungu yonse, guwa lansembe zopsereza ndi ziwiya zake zonse, ndiponso tebulo limene timayikapo buledi wopatulika pamodzi ndi zinthu zake zonse.

Pea naʻa nau ʻalu ai kia Hesekaia ko e tuʻi, ʻo pehē, “Kuo mau fakamaʻa ʻae potu kotoa pē ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova, mo e feilaulauʻanga ʻoe meʻa tutu mo hono ngaahi ipu kotoa pē ʻo ia, mo e palepale ʻoe mā ʻoe ʻao, mo hono ngaahi ipu kotoa pē ʻo ia.

19 Takonza ndi kuyeretsa zinthu zonse zimene mfumu Ahazi anazichotsa mwa kusakhulupirika kwake pamene anali mfumu. Taziyika kutsogolo kwa guwa la Yehova.”

Pea koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi ipu kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻe liʻaki ʻe he tuʻi ko ʻEhapi ʻi heʻene pule, ʻi heʻene angahala, kuo ʻosi ʻemau teuʻi mo fakatapui, pea vakai, ʻoku nau ʻi he muʻa feilaulauʻanga ʻo Sihova.”

20 Mmamawa tsiku linalo, mfumu Hezekiya inasonkhanitsa pamodzi akuluakulu a mu mzindawo ndipo inapita ku Nyumba ya Yehova.

Pea naʻe tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻa Hesekaia ko e tuʻi, ʻo ne tānaki ke fakataha ʻae kau pule ʻoe kolo, pea ʻalu ia ki he fale ʻo Sihova.

21 Iwo anabweretsa ngʼombe zazimuna zisanu ndi ziwiri ndi nkhosa zazimuna zisanu ndi ziwiri, ana ankhosa aamuna asanu ndi awiri, mbuzi zazimuna zisanu ndi ziwiri monga nsembe zoperekedwa chifukwa cha tchimo la ufumu, la malo opatulika ndi Yuda. Tsono mfumu inalamula ansembe, zidzukulu za Aaroni, kuti apereke zimenezi pa guwa lansembe la Yehova.

Pea naʻa nau ʻomi ʻae fanga pulu ʻe fitu, mo e sipitangata ʻe fitu, mo e lami ʻe fitu, mo e kosi tangata ʻe fitu, ko e feilaulau ʻi he angahala ʻae puleʻanga, pea maʻae fale nofoʻanga, pea mo Siuta. Pea naʻe fekau ia ki he kau taulaʻeiki ko e ngaahi foha ʻo ʻElone ke ʻatu ia ʻi he funga feilaulauʻanga ʻo Sihova.

22 Choncho anthuwo anapha ngʼombe zazimunazo ndipo ansembe anatenga magazi ake ndi kuwawaza pa guwa lansembe, kenaka anapha nkhosa zazimuna zija ndipo anawaza magazi ake pa guwa lansembe; anaphanso ana ankhosa aja ndipo anawaza magazi ake pa guwa lansembe.

Ko ia naʻa nau tāmateʻi ʻae fanga pulu, pea naʻe fakatali ʻae toto ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki, pea nau luluku ʻaki ʻae feilaulauʻanga: pea pehē pe, hili ʻenau tāmateʻi ʻae fanga sipitangata, naʻa nau luluku ʻaki ʻae toto ʻae feilaulauʻanga: pea naʻa nau tāmateʻi ʻae fanga lami foki, pea nau luluku ʻae toto ki he feilaulauʻanga.

23 Mbuzi zoperekedwa chifukwa cha tchimo zija zinabweretsedwa pamaso pa mfumu ndi anthu onse, ndipo anasanjika manja awo pa izo.

Pea naʻa nau ʻomi kituʻa ʻae fanga kosi tangata ko e feilaulau maʻae angahala ki he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi mo e fakataha; pea naʻa nau hilifaki honau nima ki ai.

24 Kenaka ansembe anapha mbuzizo ndipo anapereka magazi ake pa guwa, kuti ukhale mwambo wofafanizira machimo a Aisraeli onse, pakuti mfumu inalamula kuti nsembe yopsereza ndi yopepesera machimo zichitike chifukwa cha Aisraeli onse.

Pea naʻe tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki, pea fai ʻae fakalelei ʻaki ʻa honau toto ʻi he funga ʻoe feilaulauʻanga, ke fai ai ʻae fakalelei koeʻuhi ko ʻIsileli kotoa pē: he naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi ke fai ʻae feilaulau tutu mo e feilaulau maʻae angahala maʻa ʻIsileli kotoa pē.

25 Iye anayika Alevi mʼNyumba ya Yehova ali ndi ziwaya za malipenga, azeze ndi apangwe potsata lamulo la Davide, Gadi mlosi wa mfumu ndi mneneri Natani. Pakuti Yehova ndiye analamula zimenezi kudzera mwa aneneri.

Pea naʻa ne fokotuʻu ʻae kau Livai he fale ʻo Sihova mo e ngaahi meʻa pakihi, mo e ngaahi ūtete, mo e ngaahi haʻape, ʻo fakatatau ki he fekau ʻa Tevita, pea mo Kata ko e tangata kikite ʻae tuʻi, mo Netane ko e palōfita: he naʻe pehē pe ʻae fekau ʻa Sihova ʻi heʻene kau palōfita.

26 Kotero Alevi anayima okonzekera atanyamula zoyimbira za Davide ndiponso ansembe atanyamula malipenga awo.

Pea naʻe tuʻu ʻae kau Livai mo e ngaahi meʻa faiva ʻa Tevita, mo e kau taulaʻeiki mo e ngaahi meʻalea.

27 Hezekiya analamulira kuti apereke nsembe zopsereza pa guwa. Pamene amayamba kupereka nsembezo, kuyimbira Yehova kunayambikanso, pamodzi ndi malipenga ndi zipangizo zoyimbira za Davide mfumu ya Israeli.

Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Hesekaia ke fai ʻae feilaulau tutu ʻi he funga ʻoe feilaulauʻanga. Pea ʻi he kamata ʻatu ʻae feilaulau tutu, naʻe kamata foki ʻae hiva kia Sihova ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻalea, pea ʻi he ngaahi meʻa faiva naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ʻe Tevita ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.

28 Anthu onse anawerama pansi ndi kulambira, pamene oyimba amayimba ndi malipenga. Izi zonse zinapitirira mpaka pa mapeto pa nsembe zopsereza.

Pea naʻe hū ʻae fakataha kotoa pē, pea hiva ʻae kau hiva, pea fakaongo ʻe he kau ifi meʻalea: pea naʻe fai ai pe ʻae meʻa ni kotoa pē ke ʻoua ke ʻosi ʻae feilaulau tutu.

29 Zopereka zitatha, mfumu ndi wina aliyense amene anali naye anagwada pansi ndi kulambira.

Pea hili ʻenau fakaʻosi ʻae feilaulau, naʻe punou ʻae tuʻi mo kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe ʻiate ia, ʻonau hū.

30 Mfumu Hezekiya ndi akuluakulu ake analamulira Alevi kuti atamande Yehova potsata mawu a Davide ndi mlosi Asafu. Kotero anayimba nyimbo zamatamando mokondwera ndipo anaweramitsa mitu yawo ndi kulambira.

Pea naʻe fekau foki ʻe Hesekaia ko e tuʻi mo e houʻeiki ki he kau Livai ke hiva mo fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea ʻa Tevita, pea mo ʻAsafi ko e tangata kikite. Pea naʻa nau hiva ʻaki ʻae ngaahi fakafetaʻi ʻi he fiefia, ʻonau punou hifo honau ʻulu ʻo hū.

31 Kenaka Hezekiya anati, “Inu mwadzipereka tsopano kwa Yehova. Bwerani ndipo mufike ndi nsembe ndi zopereka zachiyamiko ku Nyumba ya Yehova.” Choncho anthu onse anabweretsa nsembe ndi zopereka zachiyamiko, ndipo anthu onse amene anali ofuna mu mtima mwawo anabweretsa nsembe zopsereza.

Pea naʻe tali ʻe Hesekaia ʻo ne pehē, “Ko eni kuo mou fakatapui ʻakimoutolu kia Sihova, mou haʻu ke ofi, pea ʻomi ʻae ngaahi feilaulau mo e feilaulau fakafetaʻi ki he fale ʻo Sihova.” Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe he fakataha ʻae ngaahi feilaulau mo e ngaahi feilaulau fakafetaʻi: pea ʻomi ʻekinautolu naʻe loto ʻataʻatāina ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu.

32 Chiwerengero cha nsembe zopsereza chimene anthu onse anabweretsa chinali ngʼombe zazimuna makumi asanu ndi awiri, nkhosa zazimuna 100, ana ankhosa aamuna 200 ndipo zonsezi zinali za nsembe yopsereza kwa Yehova.

Pea ko hono lau ʻoe ngaahi feilaulau tutu, ʻaia naʻe ʻomi ʻe he fakataha lahi, ko e fanga pulu ʻe fitungofulu, ko e sipitangata ʻe teau, mo e lami ʻe uangeau: ko eni kotoa pē ko e feilaulau tutu kia Sihova.

33 Ziweto zimene zinapatulidwa kukhala nsembe zinalipo ngʼombe zazimuna 600, nkhosa ndi mbuzi 3,000.

Pea ko e meʻa naʻe fakatapui ko e fanga pulu ʻe onongeau mo e sipi ʻe tolu afe,

34 Koma ansembe anali ochepa kuti asende zonse zopsereza. Choncho abale awo Alevi anawathandiza mpaka ntchito yonse inatha ndipo mpaka ansembe ena atadziyeretsa, pakuti Alevi anachita changu kudziyeretsa kulekana ndi momwe anachitira ansembe.

Pea naʻe tokosiʻi ʻae kau taulaʻeiki, ko ia naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa fai ke fohi ʻae feilaulau tutu kotoa pē: ko ia naʻe tokoni ai ʻakinautolu ʻe honau kāinga ko e kau Livai, ke ʻoua ke ʻosi ʻae ngāue, pea ke ʻoua ke fakamaʻa ʻa hono toe ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki: he naʻe angatonu lahi hake ʻi loto ʻae kau Livai ke fakamaʻa ʻakinautolu ʻi he kau taulaʻeiki.

35 Panali nsembe zopsereza zochuluka, pamodzi ndi mafuta a nsembe yachiyanjano ndi nsembe yachakumwa imene imachitika pamodzi ndi nsembe yopsereza. Kotero ntchito ya mʼNyumba ya Mulungu inakhazikitsidwanso.

Pea naʻe lahi ʻaupito foki ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu, mo e ngako ʻoe ngaahi feilaulau fakalelei, mo e feilaulau inu ʻi he feilaulau tutu kotoa pē. Ko ia naʻe teuteu lelei ʻae ngāue ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova.

36 Hezekiya ndi anthu onse anakondwera pa zimene Mulungu anachitira anthu ake, chifukwa zinachita mwamsangamsanga.

Pea naʻe fiefia ʻa Hesekaia, mo e kakai kotoa pē, ko e meʻa ʻi he teuteuʻi ʻe he ʻOtua hono kakai: he naʻe fai fakafokifā pe ʻae meʻa ni.
