2 Setouknae 29
1 Hezekiah teh siangpahrang a tawk navah kum 25 touh a pha teh Jerusalem kum 29 touh a uk.
Hezekiah was twenty-five when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for twenty-nine years. His mother's name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.
2 A na pa Devit e a sak e pueng a sak teh, BAWIPA e mithmu vah hawinae a sak.
He did what was right in the Lord's sight, just as his forefather David had done.
3 Siangpahrang a tawknae kum thapa yung pasueknae dawkvah, BAWIPA im takhangnaw a paawng teh a pathoup.
In the first month of the first year of his reign, Hezekiah opened the doors of the Lord's Temple and repaired them.
4 Vaihmanaw hoi Levihnaw a hrawi teh, kanîtholah hmuen akawnae koe a pâkhueng teh,
He summoned the priests and the Levites, and had them gather on the square to the east.
5 ahnimouh koevah, nangmouh Levihnaw ka lawk thai awh haw. Na mamanaw hmaloe kamthoung awh haw. Na mintoenaw e BAWIPA Cathut im thoung sak awh nateh, hmuen kathoung dawk e kakhinnaw hah tâkhawng awh.
He told them, “Listen to me, Levites. Purify yourselves now and purify the Temple of the Lord, the God of your forefathers. Take away from the Holy Place everything that is filthy.
6 Mamae mintoenaw ni kâ a tapoe awh teh, BAWIPA Cathut hmalah hawihoehnae a sak awh teh, a pahnawt awh. BAWIPA onae hmuen hah a hnamthun takhai awh.
For our fathers were sinful, and did what was evil in the Lord's sight. They abandoned him and paid no attention to the Lord's Temple, turning their backs on him.
7 Longkha takhang a khan awh. Hmaiim a padue awh teh, Isarel Cathut hmuen kathoung dawk hmuitui hai sawi awh hoeh. Hmaisawi thuengnae hai sak awh hoeh.
They shut the doors at the entrance to the Temple and put out the lamps. They didn't burn incense or present burnt offerings at the sanctuary of the God of Israel.
8 Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA lungkhueknae teh Judahnaw hoi Jerusalem taminaw e lathueng a pha. Na mit hoi na hmu awh e patetlah ram tangkuem hoi hmuen tangkuem vah, rucatnae, lungpuennae, hoi pathoenae lah na coung awh han.
So the Lord's anger fell on Judah and Jerusalem, and he made them into something appalling, terrifying, and ridiculous, as you can see for yourselves.
9 Khenhaw! maimae mintoenaw teh, tahloi hoi a due awh teh, maimae capanaw hoi canunaw hoi yunaw teh san a toung awh.
As a result, our fathers have died in battle, and our sons and our daughters and our wives have been captured.
10 Hatdawkvah, puenghoi a lungkhueknae a roum thai nahanelah, BAWIPA Isarel Cathut koe lawkkamnae sak hanelah ka noe e doeh.
But now I'm going to make an agreement with the Lord, the God of Israel, so that his fierce anger will no longer fall on us.
11 Ka canaw, rap awm awh hanh leih. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmouh teh BAWIPA ni, a hmalah na kangdue awh vaiteh, thaw tawk hane hoi ama koevah hmuitui sawi hanelah na rawi awh e doeh, telah atipouh.
My sons, don't neglect your responsibilities, for the Lord has chosen you to stand in his presence to serve him, and to be his ministers presenting burnt offerings.”
12 Hat torei teh, Levih tami Amasa capa Mahath, Kohath tami Azariah capa Joel, Merari capanaw dawk e Addi capa Kish, Jehallelel capa Azariah, Gershon tami Zimmah capa Joah, Joab capa Eden.
Then the Levites went to work. They were Mahath, son of Amasai, and Joel, son of Azariah, from the Kohathites; Kish, son of Abdi, and Azariah, son of Jehallelel, from the Merarites; Joah, son of Zimmah, and Eden, son of Joah, from the Gershonites;
13 Elizaphan capanaw thung dawk e Shimri hoi Jeuel, Asaph capa thung dawk e Zekhariah hoi Mattaniah.
from the sons of Elizaphan, Shimri and Jeiel; and from the sons of Asaph, Zechariah and Mattaniah;
14 Heman capa thung dawk e Jehiel hoi Shimei, Jeduthun capa thung dawk e Shemaiah hoi Uzziel, ahnimanaw a kangdue awh.
from the sons of Heman, Jehiel and Shimei; and from the sons of Jeduthun, Shemaiah and Uzziel.
15 A hmaunawngha a pâkhueng awh teh, a kamthoung awh. BAWIPA e lawk hoi kâvan lah siangpahrang ni kâ a poe e patetlah BAWIPA imthung thoung sak hanelah a kâen awh.
They called together the other Levites and all of them purified themselves. Then they went in to clean the Lord's Temple, as the king had commanded, following the instructions as required by the Lord.
16 Hottelah vaihmanaw teh thoung sak hanelah BAWIPA im a thung lae rakhan dawk a kâen awh. BAWIPA im dawk kakhin e a hmuennaw pueng hah BAWIPA im hmalah a tâcokhai awh teh, Levihnaw ni a la awh teh Kidron palang lah a ceikhai awh.
The priests went into the inner sanctuary of the Lord's Temple to clean it. They removed all the unclean things that they found in the Lord's Temple and placed them in the Temple courtyard. Then the Levites took them out and carried them to the Kidron Valley.
17 Thapa yung pasuek, apasuek hnin a kamtawng awh teh, hote thapa hnin taroe hnin vah, BAWIPA im alawilah totouh, a thoung sak awh. Hathnukkhu, BAWIPA im hnin taroe touh thung a thoung sak awh teh, thapa yung pasuek e hnin hlaitaruk hnin a cum awh.
They started the work of purification on the first day of the first month, and by the eighth day of the month they had reached the Temple porch. For eight more days they worked on purifying the Temple itself, and finished on the sixteenth day of the first month.
18 Hottelah siangpahrang Hezekiah koe, siangpahrang im a kâen awh teh, BAWIPA im e hmaisawi thuengnae khoungroe hoi hawvah, hno e hnopai pueng vaiyei pâhungnae caboi hoi hnopai pueng koung ka thoung sak awh toe.
Then they went in to tell King Hezekiah, “We have cleaned the entire Temple of the Lord, the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the table of the showbread with all its utensils.
19 Hahoi siangpahrang Ahaz a bawi navah, yonnae a sak teh, a hnoun e hnopai pueng hai koung ka thoung sak awh. Khenhaw! BAWIPA e thuengnae khoungroe hmalah ao awh, telah atipouh awh.
We have recovered and purified all the items that King Ahaz threw away during his reign when he was unfaithful. They are now before the Lord's altar.”
20 Hatnavah, siangpahrang Hezekiah teh amom a thaw teh, khothung e kahrawikungnaw a kaw teh, BAWIPA im dawk a cei.
King Hezekiah got up early, summoned the city officials, and went to the Lord's Temple.
21 Uknaeram hoi hmuen kathoung Judah hanelah yon thueng nahane maitotan sari, tutan sari, tuca sari touh hoi hmaetan sari touh a ceikhai. Aron capa vaihmanaw hah BAWIPA e thuengnae khoungroe koe thuengnae sak hanelah kâ a poe.
They brought seven bulls, seven rams, seven male lambs, and seven male goats as a sin offering for the kingdom, for the sanctuary, and for Judah. The king ordered the priests, the descendants of Aaron, to offer them on the altar of the Lord.
22 Maitotannaw a thei awh teh, vaihma ni a thipaling a la teh, thuengnae khoungroe dawk a kathek. Hahoi tutannaw hai a thei awh teh, a thipaling hah thuengnae khoungroe dawk a kathek awh. Hahoi tucanaw hai a thei awh teh, a thipaling hah thuengnae khoungroe dawk a kathek awh.
So they killed the bulls, and the priests took the blood and sprinkled it on the altar. They killed the rams and sprinkled the blood on the altar. They killed the lambs and sprinkled the blood on the altar.
23 Hmaetannaw teh yon thueng nahanlah siangpahrang hoi rangpuinaw e hmalah a thokhai awh teh, a lathueng vah a kut a toung sin awh.
Then they brought the goats for the sin offering before the king and the assembly, who placed their hands on them.
24 Vaihmanaw ni a thei awh teh, thipaling hoi Isarelnaw pueng e yontha nahanelah thuengnae khoungroe dawk yon thuengnae a sak. Isarelnaw abuemlah hanelah hmaisawi thuengnae hoi yon thueng nahanelah siangpahrang ni kâ a poe.
Then the priests killed the goats and placed their blood on the altar for a sin offering, to make atonement for the whole of Israel, because the king had ordered that the burnt offering and sin offering were for the whole of Israel.
25 Devit siangpahrang hoi ahnimae profet hah profet Nathan e kâpoelawk patetlah BAWIPA im dawk Levihnaw teh cecak, tamawi hoi ratoung, tumkhawng hanelah a hruek. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kâpoelawk teh BAWIPA ni profetnaw hno lahoi a poe e doeh.
Hezekiah had the Levites stand in the Lord's Temple with cymbals, harps, and lyres, following the instructions of David, Gad the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet. The instructions had come from the Lord through His prophets.
26 Levihnaw teh Devit ni sak e tumkhawngnaw hoi vaihmanaw teh mongkanaw patuep hoi a kangdue awh.
The Levites stood with the musical instruments provided by David, with the priests holding their trumpets.
27 Hezekiah ni thuengnae khoungroe dawk hmaisawi thuengnae thueng hanelah, kâ a poe. Hahoi hmaisawi thuengnae a kamtawng awh navah, mongka hoi Devit ni a sak e tumkhawng khawng laihoi, BAWIPA a pholen awh.
Then Hezekiah gave the order for the burnt offering to be offered on the altar. As the burnt offering began, the song of the Lord began at the same time, the trumpets sounded, and music was played on the instruments of David, once king of Israel.
28 Rangpuinaw ni Cathut a bawk awh teh, la kasaknaw ni la a sak awh. Mongka kauengnaw ni mongka a ueng awh. Hmaisawi thuengnae abaw hoehroukrak hottelah kâhat laipalah a sak awh.
All the people in the assembly were worshiping, the singers were singing, and the trumpeters were playing. This continued until the burnt offering was finished.
29 Hahoi, thuengnae abaw toteh, siangpahrang hoi ahni koe kaawm e pueng ni tabo laihoi Cathut a bawk awh.
Once the offerings were completed, the king and everyone there with him bowed down and worshiped.
30 Siangpahrang Hezekiah hoi kahrawikungnaw Levihnaw hah Devit hoi profet Asaph ni a phueng e pholen la sak hanlah kâ a poe. Hahoi lunghawinae hoi pholennae la sak laihoi a tabo awh teh Cathut a bawk awh.
Then King Hezekiah and his officials ordered the Levites to sing praises to the Lord using the words of David and of Asaph the seer. So they sang praises with joy, and bowed their heads and worshiped.
31 Hottelah, Hezekiah ni, BAWIPA hanelah na thoung awh toe, tho awh haw, BAWIPA im dawk thueng hane hoi lunghawi lawk dei thueng nahanelah poe awh haw, telah atipouh.
Then Hezekiah told them, “Now that you have dedicated yourselves to the Lord, come and bring your sacrifices and thank offerings to the Lord's Temple.” So the people in the assembly brought their sacrifices and thank offerings, and everyone who wanted to brought burnt offerings.
32 Hahoi rangpuinaw ni sathei thueng hane hoi lunghawi lawk dei thueng hane a poe awh. Poe han a lung ka tho pueng ni a poe e naw pueng teh, maitotan 70, tutan 100 touh hoi tuca 200 touh a pha.
The total number of burnt offerings they brought was seventy bulls, a hundred rams, and two hundred lambs; all these were to be a burnt offering to the Lord.
33 Hno poe e abuemlah maitotan 600, tutan 3000 touh a pha.
In addition there were dedicated offerings of six hundred bulls and three thousand sheep.
34 Hatei, vaihmanaw ayounca dawkvah, hmaisawi thuengnae sathei be thet thai awh hoeh. Hatdawkvah, a hmaunawngha Levihnaw ni pâbaw hoehroukrak, vaihmanaw kamthoung totouh a kabawp awh. Levihnaw teh vaihmanaw hlak kamthoung hane lungthin a lan awh.
Since there weren't enough priests to skin all the burnt offerings, their Levite relatives helped them until the work was finished and the priests had been purified. (The Levites had been more conscientious in purifying themselves than the priests had.)
35 Hmaisawi thuengnae apap poung dawkvah, hmaisawi thuengnae pueng koe, roum thuengnae sathei thaw hoi nei thueng nahane hai apap poung. Hottelah BAWIPA im dawk thaw tawknae hah a khuekhawcalah a tawk awh.
Apart from the large number of burnt offerings, there was the fat of the friendship offerings, as well as the drink offerings that went with the burnt offerings. In this way the service of the Lord's Temple was restored.
36 Rangpuinaw hanelah Cathut ni a rakueng pouh e hno kecu dawk Hezekiah hoi taminaw pueng teh puenghoi a lunghawi awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, pouk laipalah ka tho e hno doeh.
Hezekiah and everyone there were so happy at what God done for the people, because everything had been achieved so quickly.
