< 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.
Hezekiah became king when he was twenty-five years old; and he was king in Jerusalem for twenty-nine years; and his mother's name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.
2 A napa David kah a saii bang boeih la BOEIPA mik ah a thuem ni a saii.
He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as 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.
In the first year of his rule, in the first month, opening the doors of the Lord's house, he made them strong.
4 Khosoih rhoek neh Levi rhoek te a khuen tih amih te khocuk toltung ah a kuk.
And he sent for the priests and the Levites, and got them together in the wide place 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, Give ear to me, O Levites: now make yourselves holy, and make holy the house of the Lord, the God of your fathers, and take away everything unclean from the holy place.
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 done evil, sinning in the eyes of the Lord our God, and have given him up, turning away their faces from the house of the Lord, and turning their backs on him.
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.
The doors of his house have been shut and the lights put out; no perfumes have been burned or offerings made to the God of Israel in his holy place.
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 so the wrath of the Lord has come on Judah and Jerusalem, and he has given them up to be a cause of fear and wonder and shame, as your eyes have seen.
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.
For see, our fathers have been put to death with the sword, and our sons and daughters and wives have been taken away prisoners because of this.
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.
Now it is my purpose to make an agreement with the Lord, the God of Israel, so that the heat of his wrath may be turned away 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.
My sons, take care now: for you have been marked out by the Lord to come before him and to be his servants, burning offerings 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 took their places; Mahath, the son of Amasai, and Joel, the son of Azariah, among 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;
13 Elizaphan koca lamloh Shimri, Jeuel neh Jeiel, Asaph koca lamloh Zekhariah neh Mattaniah.
And of the sons of Elizaphan, Shimri and Jeuel; and of the sons of Asaph, Zechariah and Mattaniah;
14 Heman koca lamloh Jehiel neh Shimei, Jeduthun koca lamloh Shemaiah neh Uzziel.
And of the sons of Heman, Jehuel and Shimei; and of the sons of Jeduthun, Shemaiah and Uzziel.
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 got their brothers together and made themselves holy, and went in, as the king had said by the word of the Lord, to make the house of the Lord clean.
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 went into the inner part of the house of the Lord to make it clean, and everything unclean which was to be seen in the Temple of the Lord they took out into the outer square of the Lord's house, and the Levites got it together and took it away to the stream Kidron.
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.
On the first day of the first month the work of making the house holy was started, and on the eighth day they came to the covered way of the Lord; in eight days they made the Lord's house holy, and on the sixteenth day of the first month the work was done.
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.
Then they went in to King Hezekiah and said, We have made all the house of the Lord clean, as well as the altar of burned offerings with all its vessels, and the table for the holy bread, with all 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 nauh.
And all the vessels which were turned out by King Ahaz in his sin while he was king, we have put in order and made holy, and now they are in their places 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.
Then Hezekiah the king got up early, and got together the great men of the town, 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 they took with them seven oxen and seven male sheep and seven lambs and seven he-goats as a sin-offering for the kingdom and for the holy house and for Judah. And he gave orders to the sons of Aaron, the priests, that these were to be offered on 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.
So they put the oxen to death and their blood was given to the priests to be drained out against the altar; then they put the male sheep to death, draining out their blood against the altar, and they put the lambs to death, draining out their blood against the altar.
23 Boirhaem maae te tah manghai neh hlangping mikhmuh la a mop uh tih a soah a kut a tloeng uh.
Then they took the he-goats for the sin-offering, placing them before the king and the meeting of the people, and they put their hands on 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 put them to death, and made a sin-offering with their blood on the altar, to take away the sin of all Israel: for the king gave orders that the burned offering and the sin-offering were 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.
Then he put the Levites in their places in the house of the Lord, with brass and corded instruments of music as ordered by David and Gad, the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet: for the order was the Lord's, given by his prophets.
26 Te dongah Levi rhoek te David kah a tumbael neh, khosoih rhoek te olueng neh pai uh.
So the Levites took their places with David's instruments, and the priests with their horns.
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 Hezekiah gave the word for the burned offering to be offered on the altar. And when the burned offering was started, then the song of the Lord was started, with the blowing of horns and with all 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 people gave worship, to the sound of songs and the blowing of horns; and this went on till the burned offering was ended.
29 A nawn bawt ah manghai neh a taengkah a hmuh boeih loh cungkueng uh tih a bawkuh.
And at the end of the offering, the king and all who were present with him gave worship with bent heads.
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.
Then King Hezekiah and the captains gave orders to the Levites to give praise to God in the words of David and Asaph the seer. And they made songs of praise with joy, and with bent heads gave worship.
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 Hezekiah made answer and said, Now that you have given yourselves to the Lord, come near and take offerings and praise-offerings into the house of the Lord. So all the people took in offerings and praise-offerings: and those whose hearts were moved, took in burned 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.
The number of burned offerings which the people took in was seventy oxen, a hundred male sheep, and two hundred lambs: all these were for burned offerings to the Lord.
33 Hnocim la saelhung ya rhuk, boiva thawng thum lo.
And the holy things were six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep.
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.
There were not enough priests for the work of cutting up all the burned offerings; so their brothers the Levites gave them help till the work was done and the priests had made themselves holy: for the Levites were more upright in heart to make themselves holy 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 there was a great amount of burned offerings, with the fat of the peace-offerings and the drink offerings for every burned offering. So the work of the Lord's house was put in order.
36 Pathen loh pilnam ham a soepsoei tih ol te thaeng a thoeng coeng dongah Hezekiah neh pilnam boeih loh a kohoe.
And Hezekiah and all the people were full of joy, because God had made the people ready: for the thing was done suddenly.
