Now when all this was finished, all Israel who were present went out to the cities of Judah and broke the pillars in pieces, cut down the Asherah poles, and broke down the high places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, also in Ephraim 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.
Hezekiah appointed the divisions of the priests and the Levites after their divisions, every man according to his service, both the priests and the Levites, for burnt offerings and for peace offerings, to minister, to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of Yahweh’s camp.
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 also appointed the king’s portion of his possessions for the burnt offerings: for the morning and evening burnt offerings, and the burnt offerings for the Sabbaths, for the new moons, and for the set feasts, as it is written in Yahweh’s law.
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 who lived in Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might give themselves to Yahweh’s law.
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.
As soon as the commandment went out, the children of Israel gave in abundance the first fruits of grain, new wine, oil, honey, and of all the increase of the field; and they brought in the tithe of all things 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.
The children of Israel and Judah, who lived in the cities of Judah, also brought in the tithe of cattle and sheep, and the tithe of dedicated things which were consecrated to Yahweh their God, and laid them in 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.
When Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed Yahweh and his people Israel.
9 Hezekiah loh Khosoih rhoek neh Levi rhoek taengah a hlom kawng te a dawt.
Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites about 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.
Azariah the chief priest, of the house of Zadok, answered him and said, “Since people began to bring the offerings into Yahweh’s house, we have eaten and had enough, and have plenty left over, for Yahweh has 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 them to prepare rooms in Yahweh’s house, 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.
They brought in the offerings, the tithes, and the dedicated things faithfully. Conaniah the Levite was ruler over them, 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.
Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismachiah, 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 God’s house.
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.
Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the gatekeeper at the east gate, was over the free will offerings of God, to distribute Yahweh’s offerings and the most holy things.

Under him were Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, in their office of trust, to give to their brothers by divisions, to the great as well 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.
in addition to those who were listed by genealogy of males, from three years old and upward, even everyone who entered into Yahweh’s house, as the duty of every day required, for their service in their offices according to their divisions;
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 those who were listed by genealogy of the priests by their fathers’ houses, and the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in their offices by their divisions;

and those who were listed by genealogy of all their little ones, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, through all the congregation; for in their office of trust they sanctified themselves in holiness.

Also for the sons of Aaron the priests, who were in the fields of the pasture lands of their cities, in every city, there were men who were mentioned by name to give portions to all the males among the priests and to all who were listed 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.
Hezekiah did so throughout all Judah; and he did that which was good, right, and faithful before Yahweh 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.
In every work that he began in the service of God’s house, in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart and prospered.
