2 Chronicles 31
1 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.
Hae hmuennawk boeng pacoeng ah, Israel kaminawk loe Judah prae vangpuinawk thungah caeh o moe, Judah prae, Benjamin prae, Ephraim prae hoi Manasseh prae thung ih krangnawk to pakhoih o, Asherah thingnawk to pakhruk o moe, hmuensangnawk hoi hmaicamnawk to phraek o boih; to pacoengah Israel kaminawk loe angmacae ohhaih ahmuen vangpui ah amlaem o.
2 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.
Hezekiah mah Levi acaeng qaimanawk khaeah, angmacae sak han koi tok to a sak o moe, Angraeng ohhaih kahni im khongkha ah, hmai angbawnhaih sak han ih, angdaeh hmuen paekhaih sak han ih, anih ih tok to sak moe, anghoehaih lok to thuih pacoengah, anih saphawhaih laa to sak hanah tok to a paek.
3 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.
Angraeng lokpaekhaih thungah tarik ih baktih toengah, ni thokkruek, aduem akhawn, Sabbath ni, khrah kangtha, poihsakhaih ni kruekah, hmai angbawnhaih sak hanah, siangpahrang Hezekiah mah angmah pacah ih moinawk to a paek.
4 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.
Angraeng lokpaekhaih baktih toengah poekhaih palungthin to ang paek o moe, Sithaw ih tok to sak o thai hanah, qaimanawk hanah hmuenmae to paek oh, tiah Jerusalam ah kaom kaminawk khaeah a thuih pae.
5 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.
Lokthuih pacoeng akra ai ah, Israel kaminawk mah athai tangsuek canghum, misurtui, situi, khoitui hoi lawk ih thingthai qumponawk to paroeai paek o; kapop parai hato thungah maeto doeh a sinh o.
6 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.
Judah vangpui thungah kaom, Israel hoi Judah kaminawk loe maitaw tae hoi tuunawk to hato thungah maeto a sinh o; kaciim hmuennawk doeh angmacae ih Angraeng Sithaw hmaa ah a sinh o moe, pakhueng o.
7 In the third month they began building up the heaps, and they finished in the seventh month.
Khrah thumto naah hmuen pakhuenghaih amtong o moe, khrah sarihto naah pacoeng o.
8 When Hezekiah and his officials came and viewed the heaps, they blessed the LORD and His people Israel.
Hezekiah hoi angraengnawk to angzoh o moe, to ah pakhueng ih hmuennawk to hnuk o naah, Angraeng hoi angmah ih kami Israelnawk to tahamhoihaih paek o.
9 Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and Levites about the heaps,
To ah pakhueng ih hmuen kawng pongah, Hezekiah mah qaima hoi Levi acaengnawk to lokdueng.
10 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.”
To naah Zadok imthung takoh thung ih kacoeh koek qaima Azariah mah anih khaeah, Kaminawk mah Angraeng ih imthung ah paek ih hmuen to sin o pongah, caaknaek kakhawt ah ka tawnh o khue na ai ah, amtlai pok vop; Angraeng mah angmah ih kaminawk hanah tahamhoihaih paek pongah, hae hmuennawk loe amtlai pok, tiah a naa.
11 Then Hezekiah commanded them to prepare storerooms in the house of the LORD, and they did so.
To pacoengah Hezekiah mah Angraeng imthung ah hmuen patunghaih imkhaan sak hanah lokpaek, a thuih ih lok baktih toengah a sak o.
12 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.
Oep om ah paek o ih hato thungah maeto hoi tangqum paek ih hmuennawk to Angraeng imthung ah a sinh o; to hmuennawk loe Levi acaeng Konaniah mah khetzawn, amnawk Shimei loe anih bomkung ah oh.
13 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.
Hezekiah siangpahrang hoi Sithaw im ukkung Azariah mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismakiah, Mahath hoi Benaiah cae loe Konaniah hoi amnawk Shimei tlim ah nawnto toksak o.
14 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.
Ni angyae bang ih khongkha toepkung, Levi acaeng Imnah capa Kore loe, koehhaih palungthin hoi Sithaw khaeah paek ih hmuen, Angraeng khaeah tathlang ih hmuennawk hoi ciimcai koek hmuennawk pazetkung ah oh.
15 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.
Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah hoi Shekaniah cae loe Kore bomkung ah oh o moe, kalah Judah prae vangpuinawk ah kaom qaimanawk khenzawnkung ah oh o; nihcae loe angmacae nawkamya mitong doeh nawkta doeh, angmacae sak han koi hmuemae pazethaih tok to a sak o.
16 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—
To pacoengah angmacae mah toksak han tapraek ih araengh baktih toengah, angmacae ih tok to sak hanah Angraeng ih im thungah akun kami boih, ahmin tarikhaih cabu thung ih baktih toengah, saning thumto hoi ranuih bang kaom nongpanawk boih han doeh paek o.
17 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.
Angmacae mah toksak han pakhoih ih taham baktih toengah, ampa qaimanawk mah ahmin paruihaih cabu thungah tarik ih, saning pumphaeto ranuih Levi acaengnawk boih doeh paek o.
18 The genealogy included all the little ones, wives, sons, and daughters in the whole assembly. For they had faithfully consecrated themselves as holy.
Angmacae hoi angmacae ciimcai ah oh o moe, oepthok kami ah oh o pongah, acaeng paruihaih cabu thungah kaom nawktanawk boih, a zunawk, a capanawk, a canunawk hoi rangpuinawk boih athum o sak.
19 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.
To kaminawk loe qaimanawk, Levi acaengnawk ohhaih vangpui taeng ih lawk ah kaom Aaron ih caa nongpa qaimanawk hoi Levi ahmin paruihaih cabu thungah kaom kaminawk boih hanah angmacae ih taham to pazet o.
20 So this is what Hezekiah did throughout Judah. He did what was good and upright and true before the LORD his God.
Hezekiah loe Judah prae boih ah, Angraeng Sithaw hmaa ah kahoih hmuen, katoeng hmuen hoi oepthok hmuen to sak.
21 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.
Angmah ih Sithaw to pakrong moe, Sithaw ih im, daan hoi lokpaekhaihnawk baktih toengah toksak amtong naah, palungthin tang hoiah a sak pongah hmacawn.
