2 Khokhuen 31
1 A cungkuem te a coeng uh vaengah aka pumphoe Israel boeih te Judah khopuei la cet uh tih kaam te a phaek uh. Asherah te a top uh tih Judah pum ah hmuensang neh hmueihtuk te a palet uh. Te phoeiah Benjamin, Ephraim khui neh Manasseh hil a khah uh. Te phoeiah Israel ca boeih te a khohut amamih khopuei la rhip mael uh.
Now when all this was finished, all Israel that were present went out to the cities of Judah, and brake in pieces the pillars, and hewed down the Asherim, and brake down the high places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim also and Manasseh, until they had destroyed them all. Then all the children of Israel returned, every man to his possession, into their own cities.
2 Hezekiah loh khosoih rhoek neh Levi kah boelhnah te a khueh. Amih kah boelnah bangla hlang te amah kah thothuengnah tarhing ah khosoih la, Levi la om. Te long te hmueihhlutnah ham neh rhoepnah ham khaw, thohtat ham khaw, BOEIPA rhaehhmuen vongka ah aka thangthen ham neh aka uem ham khaw a hut nah.
And Hezekiah appointed the courses of the priests and the Levites after their courses, every man according to his service, both the priests and the Levites, for burnt offerings and for peace offerings, to minister, and to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the camp of the LORD.
3 BOEIPA olkhueng khuikah a daek bangla manghai loh a khuehtawn te hmueihhlutnah ham khaw, hlaem neh mincang kah hmueihhlutnah ham khaw, Sabbath vaengkah neh hlasae vaengkah hmueihhlutnah, khoning vaengkah buham la a paek.
[He appointed] also the king’s portion of his substance for the burnt offerings, [to wit], for the morning and evening burnt offerings, and the burnt offerings for the sabbaths, and for the new moons, and for the set feasts, as it is written in the law of the LORD.
4 Khosoih neh Levi kah buham a paek tih BOEIPA olkhueng dongah thaa a huel uh ham te pilnam taeng neh Jerusalem khosa rhoek taengah a thui pah.
Moreover he commanded the people that dwelt in Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might give themselves to the law of the LORD.
5 Ol te a haeh coeng dongah Israel ca rhoek loh cangpai thaihcuek, misur thai, situi, khoitui neh khohmuen vueithaih cungkuem te a kum sak uh tih parha pakhat boeih khaw a cungkuem la a khuen uh.
And as soon as the commandment came abroad, the children of Israel gave in abundance the firstfruits of corn, wine, and oil, and honey, and of all the increase of the field; and the tithe of all things brought they in abundantly.
6 Judah khopuei rhoek ah kho aka sa Amih Israel ca neh Judah rhoek long khaw saelhung boiva parha pakhat neh a Pathen BOEIPA taengah a ciim hnocim parha pakhat khaw a khuen uh tih a som som la a paek uh.
And the children of Israel and Judah, that dwelt in the cities of Judah, they also brought in the tithe of oxen and sheep, and the tithe of dedicated things which were consecrated unto the LORD their God, and laid them by heaps.
7 A hla thum dongah a hlom la a hmoek uh te a tong uh tih a hla rhih dongah a coeng uh.
In the third month they began to lay the foundation of the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month.
8 Hezekiah neh mangpa rhoek a pawk uh tih a hlom te a hmuh vaengah BOEIPA neh a pilnam Israel te a uem uh.
And when Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed the LORD, and his people Israel.
9 Hezekiah loh Khosoih rhoek neh Levi rhoek taengah a hlom kawng te a dawt.
Then Hezekiah questioned with the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps.
10 Te dongah anih te Zadok imkhui lamkah khosoih boeilu Azariah loh a doo tih, “Khosaa te BOEIPA im la pawk puei ham a tong uh lamlong tah BOEIPA loh a pilnam yoethen a paek tih caak khaw a cung phoeiah cangpai la cuem. Te dongah he tlam he muep coih,” a ti nah.
And Azariah the chief priest, of the house of Zadok, answered him and said, Since [the people] began to bring the oblations into the house of the LORD, we have eaten and had enough, and have left plenty: for the LORD hath blessed his people; and that which is left is this great store.
11 Te dongah Hezekiah loh BOEIPA im khuikah imkhan te rhoekbah hamla a uen tih a rhoekbah uh.
Then Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the house of the LORD; and they prepared them.
12 Te phoeiah khosaa neh parha pakhat khaw, hnocim khaw uepomnah neh a khuen uh. Te te rhaengsang Levi Kohnaniah, a mana hnukthoi Shimei loh a khoem.
And they brought in the oblations and the tithes and the dedicated things faithfully: and over them Conaniah the Levite was ruler, and Shimei his brother was second.
13 Te vaengah Jehiel neh Azaziah, Nahath neh Asahel, Jerimoth neh Jozabad, Eliel neh Ismakhiah, Mahath neh Benaiah tah Kohnaniah kut hmuiah hlangtawt la om uh. Kohnaniah neh a mana Shimei he tah manghai Hezekiah neh Pathen im kah rhaengsang Azariah kah hlangboel ni.
And Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath, and Asahel, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Ismachiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah, were overseers under the hand of Conaniah and Shimei his brother, by the appointment of Hezekiah the king, and Azariah the ruler of the house of God.
14 Khocuk kah thoh tawt, Levi Imnah capa Kore loh BOEIPA kah khosaa la a paek ham Pathen kah kothoh neh a cim a cim te a khoem.
And Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the porter at the east [gate], was over the freewill offerings of God, to distribute the oblations of the LORD, and the most holy things.
15 Anih kut hmuikah Eden neh Miniamin, Jeshua neh Shemaiah, Amariah neh Shekaniah loh khosoih khopuei kah a pacaboeina te tanoe kangham la a boelnah neh uepomnah la a tael.
And under him were Eden, and Miniamin, and Jeshua, and Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, in their set office, to give to their brethren by courses, as well to the great as to the small:
16 Amih te tongpa ca kum thum neh a so hang khaw, a hnin, hnin kah bitat ham khaw, amih kah kueknah bangla amamih kah thothuengnah ham khaw, a boelnah neh BOEIPA im la aka kun boeih a khuui la om.
beside them that were reckoned by genealogy of males, from three years old and upward, even every one that entered into the house of the LORD, as the duty of every day required, for their service in their charges according to their courses;
17 Khosoih rhoek khaw a napa imko neh, Levi rhoek khaw tongpa kum kul lamloh a so hang tah amamih kah a kueknah bangla amamih a boelnah neh a khuui om van.
and them that were reckoned by genealogy of the priests by their fathers’ houses, and the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in their charges by their courses;
18 Amih hlangping boeih kah camoe boeih khaw, a yuu rhoek khaw, a capa rhoek khaw, a canu rhoek khaw, amamih kah uepomnah neh a khuui la om tih hmuencim ah ciim uh.
and them that were reckoned by genealogy of all their little ones, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, through all the congregation: for in their set office they sanctified themselves in holiness:
19 Khosoih Aaron koca rhoek ham khaw amamih kah khopuei, khocaak khohmuen ah, khopuei, khopuei boeih ah a ming neh hlang mingpha uh. Khosoih tongpa boeih neh Levi kah a khuui boeih te maehvae a paek uh.
Also for the sons of Aaron the priests, which were in the fields of the suburbs of their cities, in every several city; there were men that were expressed by name, to give portions to all the males among the priests, and to all that were reckoned by genealogy among the Levites.
20 Hezekiah loh Judah pum ah he bang a saii vaengah a Pathen BOEIPA mikhmuh ah uepomnah neh a thuem neh a then ni a saii.
And thus did Hezekiah throughout all Judah; and he wrought that which was good and right and faithful before the LORD his God.
21 Bitat boeih dongah khaw Pathen im kah thothuengnah neh a tong tih olkhueng ham neh olpaek ham khaw a Pathen te a thinko boeih neh a toem dongah a saii vaengah thaihtak van.
And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart, and prospered.
