1 Hiche kut hi akichai jouvin Israel mipite chu Judah khopi jousea acheuvin song khomho, Asherah semthu Pathen limho akhen se uvin chuleh namdang Pathen houna maicham ho jouse asusesoh keijun ahi. Amahon Judah gamsung jouseleh, Benjamin, Ephraim chuleh Manesseh gamsung jousea hitichun abolsoh keijun ahi
When all this had ended, the Israelites in attendance went out to the cities of Judah and broke up the sacred pillars, chopped down the Asherah poles, and tore down the high places and altars throughout Judah and Benjamin, as well as in Ephraim and Manasseh, until they had utterly destroyed them all. Then all the Israelites returned to their cities, each to his own property.
2 Hezekiah lengpan thempu holeh Levi te kimanchah ding daan athahsem kitnin hichea hi apanmunu dungjui cheh a atohdiu toh umtha cheh ahi. Thempu holeh Levi hon pumgo thilto atodiu, chamna thilto a tohdiu, houinna Pathen houkhom na – a pan alahdiu dan leh, kipanale thangvah chuleh houin'a jatchom chomma atohding daanhou aboncha ahopsoh ahi
Hezekiah reestablished the divisions of the priests and Levites—each of them according to their duties as priests or Levites—for the burnt offerings and peace offerings, for ministry, for giving thanks, and for singing praises at the gates of the LORD’s dwelling.
3 Lengpan ama neile ama thilho a konna kipehna, pumgo thilto ding a apehdoh dingho, jingkah nilhah a pumgo thiltoding ahin, cholngah nikho ho a pumgo thilto atoding ahin, lhathah nikho a toding ahin, aphat tepsa kut dinga thilto – a toding ahin, hitia hi Pakai daan thu lekhabu kisun banga chu toding jouse chu atodoh jeng ahi
The king contributed from his own possessions for the regular morning and evening burnt offerings and for the burnt offerings on the Sabbaths, New Moons, and appointed feasts, as written in the Law of the LORD.
4 Hiche ban nahin lengpan Jerusalem ma chengho kommah thempu hole Levi hon daan dung jui'a Pakai kin toh na – a akipumpeh theina diuva panhu na thilpeh apehdiuvin thupeh anei jin ahi
Moreover, he commanded the people living in Jerusalem to make a contribution for the priests and Levites so that they could devote themselves to the Law of the LORD.
5 Hiche thupeh hi akiphondoh jouvin Israel chaten chaang gamasa lengpithei ju leh khoiju chuleh alousoh jouseo thiljousea konna hopsom toh bulhingset nin ahin choijun ahi
As soon as the order went out, the Israelites generously provided the firstfruits of the grain, new wine, oil, and honey, and of all the produce of the field, and they brought in an abundance—a tithe of everything.
6 Israel teleh Judah te Judah khopiho – a cheng hon bongchal holeh kelngoichal ho hopsom chuleh Pakai a Pathen diuva thil thenga akatdoh hou atamma tam ahin choijun ahi
And the Israelites and Judahites who lived in the cities of Judah also brought a tithe of their herds and flocks and a tithe of the holy things consecrated to the LORD their God, and they laid them in large heaps.
7 Kipehna a thilpeh ho lhathum channa – a patnin ahung lutpan nin akit lha li channa geijin ahung lutbe jing jenge tamtah akiset tho jengin ahi
In the third month they began building up the heaps, and they finished in the seventh month.
8 Hezekiah lengpa leh anoija natong lamkaihon ijatgei hunglut ham ti amuchen nun ahileh Pakai athangvah un chuleh amipi teo jong apahchaovin ahi
When Hezekiah and his officials came and viewed the heaps, they blessed the LORD and His people Israel.
9 Lengpan thempu hole Levi te komma chun hiche kiphal dohna thilpeh ho thuhi anaseijin ahi
Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and Levites about the heaps,
10 Chuleh Thempulen Azariah leh Zadok chilhah hochun ama kommah anaseijun “Mipi hon hitobang a kiphal dohna thilpeh ho houinna ahinpeh lutjeh un nehle chah anengin avalleovin ahi. Hiti hohi Pakaiyin amipite phatthei aboh jeh u ahi” atiove
and Azariah, the chief priest of the household of Zadok, answered him, “Since the people began to bring their contributions into the house of the LORD, we have had enough to eat and there is plenty left over, because the LORD has blessed His people; this great abundance is what is left over.”
11 Lengpa thupeh dung juiyin amahon houinnah thil koina anagong toh un ahi
Then Hezekiah commanded them to prepare storerooms in the house of the LORD, and they did so.
12 Hitichun amahon kipeh na thilhole hopsom hochu abitkeina ding munnah anakoitup mun ahi. Amahon Levi mi Cononiah chu hiche vesui dingin ana nganseovin asopipa hi ama kithopidin apansah un ahi
And they faithfully brought in the contributions, tithes, and dedicated gifts. Conaniah the Levite was the officer in charge of them, and his brother Shimei was second.
13 Levi te mi 10 (Som) amani noija natong dingin apansah un ahi, Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Eliel, Ismachiah, Mahath leh Benaiah ahiove. Hitobang tohgon hohi lengpa Hezekiah leh thempulen Azariah thaneina noija kitungdoh ahi
Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismachiah, Mahath, and Benaiah were overseers under the authority of Conaniah and his brother Shimei, by appointment of King Hezekiah and of Azariah the chief official of the house of God.
14 Levi mi Imnah chapa Kore chu houin kelkot solang panga vengtup pipuipen ahin, amahin kipehna thipeh Pakaija kipeh hochu alatup leh ahomdoh a pang ahi
Kore son of Imnah the Levite, the keeper of the East Gate, was in charge of the freewill offerings given to God, distributing the contributions to the LORD and the consecrated gifts.
15 Thempuho chenna khopi dung ho a chun, ama chu Levi mi hicheng hin ana kithopiovin ahi; Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemiah, Amariah leh Shecaniah ahiove. Amaho hin asopio Levi hochu anatoh u dungjui cheh in kibang cheh in anahom doh jiovin ahi
Under his authority, Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah faithfully distributed portions to their fellow priests in their cities, according to their divisions, old and young alike.
16 Phung le chang dungjuija hilouvin, amahon pasal ho chu kum 30 lhingle achunga hochu houinna amoppoh nao apanmunnu dungjuijin achandiu ahoppeh un ahi
In addition, they distributed portions to the males registered by genealogy who were three years of age or older—to all who would enter the house of the LORD for their daily duties for service in the responsibilities of their divisions—
17 Thempu hochun aphung dung juiyin tohding apeovin chuleh Levi hochu kum 20 lhingleh atahjo hochu anatoh dungjuijin nganse na aneiyun ahi
and to the priests enrolled according to their families in the genealogy, as well as to the Levites twenty years of age or older, according to their duties and divisions.
18 Amahochu ajiteo leh achateo chuleh aincheng houdung juiyin aminnu akijihlut nin ahi – ajeh chu amahohin itihphat hijongleh a kinthengu tohna akimanchah theina diuva tohgon hija ahi
The genealogy included all the little ones, wives, sons, and daughters in the whole assembly. For they had faithfully consecrated themselves as holy.
19 Khopi a cheng thempu ho lah a kinganse Aaron chilhah ho ahoilouleh hiche khopia chengho thinglhang gamma umho ahin hiche holah a mopohna neihohin thempu insunga pasalho leh Levi phungmi amin kijihlut ho jouse kommah nehle chah hommin apangun ahi
As for the priests, the descendants of Aaron, who lived on the farmlands around each of their cities or in any other city, men were designated by name to distribute a portion to every male among the priests and to every Levite listed by the genealogies.
20 Hezekiah lengpan Judah ho jouse kommah Pakai Pathen mitmua adihjeng abollin Pathen alung lhaisah in ahi
So this is what Hezekiah did throughout Judah. He did what was good and upright and true before the LORD his God.
21 Amahi atohna jouse alolhingin ahi. Ajeh chu aman houin chung changa atoh ahin chuleh mipin daan ajuija na diuva atoh ahin Pathenna kitah nanei tah a atoh jeh ahi
He was diligent in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, and in the law and the commandments, in order to seek his God. And so he prospered.
