2 Khokhuen 29
1 Hezekiah he kum kul kum nga a lo ca vaengah manghai tih Jerusalem ah kum kul kum ko manghai. A manu ming tah Zekhariah canu Abijah ni.
And Ezekias began to reign at the age of twenty-five years, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Abia, daughter of Zacharias.
2 A napa David kah a saii bang boeih la BOEIPA mik ah a thuem ni a saii.
And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father David had done.
3 A manghai cuek kum dongkah a hla lamhma cuek vaengah BOEIPA im kah thohkhaih te a ong tih a tlaih.
And it came to pass, when he was established over his kingdom, in the first month, he opened the doors of the house of the Lord, and repaired them.
4 Khosoih rhoek neh Levi rhoek te a khuen tih amih te khocuk toltung ah a kuk.
And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and put them on the east side,
5 Te phoeiah amih te, “Kai ol he hnatun uh. Levi rhoek nang, ciim uh lamtah na pa rhoek kah Pathen BOEIPA im te ciim uh laeh. Hmuencim lamkah rhalawt te khaw khoe uh laeh.
and said to them, Hear, you Levites: now sanctify yourselves, and sanctify the house of the Lord God of your fathers, and cast out the impurity from the holy places.
6 A pa rhoek loh boe a koek uh tih mamih kah Pathen BOEIPA mikhmuh ah boethae a saii uh dongah amah te a hnawt uh. A maelhmai te BOEIPA kah dungtlungim lamloh mangthong uh tih a rhawn a maelh uh.
For our fathers have revolted, and done that which was evil before the Lord our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their face from the tabernacle of the Lord, and have turned [their] back.
7 Ngalha kah thohkhaih khaw a khaih uh tih hmaithoi te a thih uh. Bo-ul khaw phum uh pawt tih hmueihhlutnah te Israel Pathen kah hmuencim ah nawn uh pawh.
And they have shut up the doors of the temple, and put out the lamps, and have not burnt incense, and have not offered whole burnt offerings in the holy [place] to the God of Israel.
8 Te dongah BOEIPA kah thinhulnah loh Judah neh Jerusalem te a tlak thil tih amih te tonganah la, ngaihuetnah la, imsuep la, na mik neh na hmuh uh banlga thuithetnah la a khueh.
And the Lord was very angry with Juda and Jerusalem, and made them an astonishment, and a desolation, and a hissing, as you see with your eyes.
9 Te dongah a pa rhoek khaw cunghang dongah cungku uh coeng ke. He kongah ni mamih capa, mamih canu neh mamih yuu rhoek khaw tamna khuiah a om.
And, behold, your fathers have been struck with the sword, and your sons and your daughters and your wives are in captivity in a land not their own, as it is even now.
10 Kai thinko khuiah Israel Pathen BOEIPA neh paipi saii ham om coeng. Te daengah ni a thintoek thinsa khaw mamih taeng lamloh a mael eh.
Therefore it is now in my heart to make a covenant, a covenant with the Lord God of Israel, that he may turn away his fierce wrath from us.
11 Ka ca rhoek khaw vawk vapsa uh boeh. Nangmih te BOEIPA loh amah mikhmuh ah aka pai ham, amah taengah aka thotat ham neh a taengah aka thotat tih aka phum la om ham ni a coelh,” a ti nah.
And now be not lacking [to your duty], for the Lord has chosen you to stand before him to minister, and to be ministers and burners of incense to him.
12 Te dongah Levi lamkah aka thoo rhoek tah, Amasai capa Mahath, Kohathi koca lamloh Azariah capa Joel, Merari koca lamloh Abdi capa Kish, Jehallelel capa Azariah, Gershon lamloh Zimmah capa Joah neh Joah capa Eden.
Then the Levites rose up, Maath the son of Amasi, and Joel the son of Azarias, of the sons of Caath: and of the sons of Merari, Kis the son of Abdi, and Azarias the son of Haelel: and of the sons of Gedsoni, Jodaad the son of Zemmath, and Joadam: these [were] the sons of Joacha.
13 Elizaphan koca lamloh Shimri, Jeuel neh Jeiel, Asaph koca lamloh Zekhariah neh Mattaniah.
And of the sons of Elisaphan; Zambri, and Jeiel: and of the sons of Asaph; Zacharias, and Matthanias:
14 Heman koca lamloh Jehiel neh Shimei, Jeduthun koca lamloh Shemaiah neh Uzziel.
and of the sons of Aeman; Jeiel, and Semei: and of the sons of Idithun; Samaisa, and Oziel.
15 A pacaboeina te a coi tih a ciim uh phoeiah tah manghai olpaek bangla BOEIPA im caihcil ham BOEIPA ol dongah pongpa uh.
And they gathered their brethren, and they purified themselves according to the king's command by the order of the Lord, to purify the house of the Lord.
16 Khosoih rhoek khaw BOEIPA im te caihcil hamla a khui la kun uh. BOEIPA bawkim ah a tihnai a hmuh boeih te BOEIPA im kah vongup la a sat uh. Te phoeiah Levi rhoek loh a doe uh tih Kidron soklong kah a voel la a thak uh.
And the priests entered into the house of the Lord, to purify [it], and they cast out all the uncleanness that was found in the house of the Lord, even into the court of the house of the Lord: and the Levites received [it] to cast into the brook of Kedron without.
17 Im ciim ham te a hla khat dongah lamhma la a tong uh tih te hla kah a hnin rhet dongah tah BOEIPA kah ngalha taengla pawk uh. A hnin rhet dongah BOEIPA im te a ciim uh tih lamhmacuek hla kah hnin hlai rhuk dongah a khah uh.
And [Ezekias] began on the first day, [even] on the new moon of the first month, to purify, and on the eighth day of the month they entered into the temple of the Lord: and they purified the house of the Lord in eight days; and on the thirteenth day of the first month they finished [the work].
18 Te phoeiah manghai Hezekiah taengah a khui la kun uh tih, “BOEIPA im boeih neh hmueihhlutnah hmueihtuk khaw, a hnopai boeih khaw, rhungkung caboei neh a hnopai boeih te khaw, ka caihcil uh coeng.
And they went in to king Ezekias, and said, We have purified all the things in the house of the Lord, the altar of whole burnt offering, and its vessels, and the table of show-bread, and its vessels;
19 Manghai Ahaz loh a ram ah boekoeknah la a hlahpham hnopai boeih te khaw ka soepsoei uh tih BOEIPA kah hmueihtuk hmai ah ka ciim uh coeng ke,” a ti na uh.
and all the vessels which king Achaz polluted in his reign, in his apostasy, we have prepared and purified: behold, they are before the altar of the Lord.
20 Te vaengah manghai Hezekiah te thoo tih khopuei mangpa rhoek te a coi phoeiah BOEIPA im la cet.
And king Ezekias rose early in the morning, and gathered the chief men of the city, and went up to the house of the Lord.
21 Te phoeiah vaito pumrhih, tutal pumrhih, tuca pumrhih, maae tal pumrhih te ram ham khaw, rhokso ham khaw, Judah ham khaw boirhaem la a khuen. Te phoeiah Aaron koca khosoih taengah BOEIPA kah hmueihtuk dongah a nawn ham te a uen.
And he brought seven calves, seven rams, seven lambs, seven kids of goats for a sin-offering, for the kingdom, and for the holy things, and for Israel: and he told the priests the sons of Aaron to go up to the altar of the Lord.
22 Te dongah saelhung a ngawn uh phoeiah tah a thii te khosoih rhoek loh a duen uh tih hmueihtuk dongah a haeh uh. Tutal khaw a ngawn uh tih a thii te hmueihtuk dongah a haeh uh bal. Tuca khaw a ngawn uh tih a thii te hmueihtuk dongah a haeh uh.
And they killed the calves, and the priests received the blood, and poured it on the altar: and they killed the rams, and poured the blood upon the altar: also they killed the lambs, and poured the blood round the altar.
23 Boirhaem maae te tah manghai neh hlangping mikhmuh la a mop uh tih a soah a kut a tloeng uh.
And they brought the goats for a sin-offering before the king and the congregation; and laid their hands upon them.
24 Hmueihhlutnah neh boirhaem he manghai loh Israel boeih ham a thui coeng. Te dongah khosoih loh a ngawn van nen tah Israel pum kah te dawth pah hamla a thii te hmueihtuk dongah a khueh uh.
And the priests killed them, and offered their blood as a propitiation on the altar; and they made atonement for all Israel: for the king said, The whole burnt offering, and the sin-offering [are] for all Israel.
25 BOEIPA im kah Levi rhoek tah David neh manghai kah khohmu Gad, tonghma Nathan kah olpaek bangla tlaklak neh, thangpa neh, rhotoeng neh paiuh. Te olpaek te BOEIPA kut neh amah kah tonghma rhoek kut ah a paek.
And he stationed the Levites in the house of the Lord with cymbals, and lutes, and harps, according to the commandment of king David, and of Gad the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet: for by the commandment of the Lord the order [was] in the hand of the prophets.
26 Te dongah Levi rhoek te David kah a tumbael neh, khosoih rhoek te olueng neh pai uh.
And the Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.
27 Hezekiah loh hmueihtuk dongah hmueihhlutnah nawn ham a thui tih hmueihhlutnah tue a tong. Te vaengah BOEIPA laa neh olueng te a kut dongkah Israel manghai David tumbael neh a tong.
And Ezekias told [them] to offer up the whole burnt offering on the altar: and when they began to offer the whole burnt offering, they began to sing to the Lord, and the trumpets [accompanied] the instruments of David king of Israel.
28 Hlangping boeih loh a bakop van neh laa te a sak tih olueng aka ueng long khaw hmueihhlutnah boeih a coeng hil a ueng.
And all the congregation worshipped, and the psalm-singers [were] singing, and the trumpets sounding, until the whole burnt sacrifice had been completely offered.
29 A nawn bawt ah manghai neh a taengkah a hmuh boeih loh cungkueng uh tih a bawkuh.
And when they had done offering [it], the king and all that were present bowed, and worshipped.
30 David neh khohmu Asaph kah olka bangla BOEIPA thangthen hamla manghai Hezekiah neh mangpa rhoek loh Levi rhoek te a uen. Te dongah kohoenah neh a thangthen uh phoeiah buluk tih a bawk uh.
And king Ezekias and the princes told the Levites to sing hymns to the Lord in the words of David, and of Asaph the prophet: and they sang hymns with gladness, and fell down and worshipped.
31 Te phoeiah Hezekiah loh a doo tih, “Na kut cung sak uh laeh, BOEIPA taengla mop uh lamtah hmueih neh uemonah te BOEIPA im la khuen uh,” a ti nah. Te dongah hlangping loh hmueih neh uemonah khaw, hlangcong lungbuei kah hmueihhlutnah cungkuem te khaw a khuen uh.
Then Ezekias answered and said, Now you have consecrated yourselves to the Lord, bring near and offer sacrifices of praise in the house of the Lord. And the congregation brought sacrifices and thank-offerings into the house of the Lord; and every one who was ready in his heart [brought] whole burnt offerings.
32 A pum la hlangping loh hmueihhlutnah a khuen te vaito sawmrhih, tutal yakhat, tuca yahnih lo. He boeih he BOEIPA ham hmueihhlutnah ni.
And the number of the whole burnt offerings which the congregation brought, was seventy calves, a hundred rams, two hundred lambs: all these [were] for a whole burnt offering to the Lord.
33 Hnocim la saelhung ya rhuk, boiva thawng thum lo.
And the consecrated calves were six hundred, [and] the sheep three thousand.
34 Tedae khosoih rhoek tah a sii la om uh tih hmueihhlutnah boeih te hlaih hamla noeng uh pawh. Te dongah amih te a manuca Levi rhoek loh bitat a coeng hil neh khosoih a ciim hil a duel uh. Levi rhoek tah khosoih rhoek lakah a ciim ham thinko thuem uh.
But the priests were few, and could not flay the whole burnt offering, so their brethren the Levites helped them, until the work was finished, and until the priests had purified themselves: for the Levites [more] zealously purified [themselves] than the priests.
35 Hmueihhlutnah khaw a cungkuem la rhoepnah maehtha neh, tuisi neh, hmueihhlutnah neh soep. Te dongah BOEIPA im kah thothuengnah khaw cikngae.
And the whole burnt offering [was] abundant, with the fat of the complete peace-offering, and the drink-offerings of the whole burnt sacrifice. So the service was established in the house of the Lord.
36 Pathen loh pilnam ham a soepsoei tih ol te thaeng a thoeng coeng dongah Hezekiah neh pilnam boeih loh a kohoe.
And Ezekias and all the people rejoiced, because God has prepared the people: for the thing was done suddenly.
