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.
Na, i te otinga o tenei katoa, ka haere atu a Iharaira katoa i reira ki nga pa o Hura, a pakarua rikirikitia ana e ratou nga pou karakiatanga, tuaina ana nga Aherimi, whakahoroa ana nga wahi tiketike me nga aata puta noa i Hura, i Pineamine, i Ep araima, i Manahi a poto noa. Na hoki ana nga tama katoa a Iharaira ki tona kainga, ki tona kainga, ki o ratou pa.
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.
I whakaritea ano e Hetekia nga wehenga o nga tohunga ratou ko nga Riwaiti, ara o ratou wehenga, mo te mahi a tenei, a tenei, ko nga tohunga ratou ko nga riwaiti ki nga tahunga tinana, ki nga whakahere mo te pai, hei minita, hei whakawhetai, hei w hakamoemiti i nga kuwaha o nga nohoanga o Ihowa.
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.
I whakaritea ano e ia ta te kingi wahi i roto i ona taonga mo nga tahunga tinana, ara mo nga tahunga tinana o te ata, o te ahiahi, mo nga tahunga tinana mo nga hapati, mo nga kowhititanga marama, a mo nga hakari i whakaritea; mo nga mea i tuhituh ia ki te ture a Ihowa.
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.
I mea ano ia ki te iwi, ki nga tangata o Hiruharama, kia homai te wahi ma nga tohunga ratou ko nga Riwaiti, kia tuku ai ratou i a ratou ki te ture a Ihowa.
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.
Puaki kau te kupu, ka kawea nuitia mai e nga tama a Iharaira nga matamaua o te witi, o te waina, o te hinu, o te honi, o nga hua katoa o te mara; tona nui hoki o te whakatekau o nga mea katoa i kawea mai e ratou.
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.
Na, ko nga tama a Iharaira raua ko Hura e noho ana i nga pa o Hura, i kawea mai e ratou te whakatekau o nga kau, o nga hipi, me te whakatekau o nga mea tapu i whakatapua nei ma Ihowa, ma to ratou Atua, whakatakotoria ana e ratou tenei puranga, te nei puranga.
7 In the third month they began building up the heaps, and they finished in the seventh month.
No te toru o nga marama i timata ai ta ratou whakatu i nga puranga, no te whitu o nga marama i oti ai.
8 When Hezekiah and his officials came and viewed the heaps, they blessed the LORD and His people Israel.
Na, no te taenga mai o Hetekia ratou ko nga rangatira ka kite i nga puranga, whakapai ana ratou i a Ihowa, i tana iwi hoki, i a Iharaira.
9 Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and Levites about the heaps,
Katahi ka uia nga tohunga me nga Riwaiti e Hetekia mo nga puranga.
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.”
Na ka korero a Ataria te tino tohunga, no te whare o Haroko, ki a ia ka mea, No te timatanga o ta ratou kawe mai i nga whakahere ki te whare o Ihowa, ka kai matou, ka makona, nui atu hoki te toenga; e manaakitia ana hoki tana iwi e Ihowa. Na, ko te toenga, ko tenei haupu nui nei.
11 Then Hezekiah commanded them to prepare storerooms in the house of the LORD, and they did so.
Katahi a Hetekia ka ki kia whakapaia etahi ruma ki te whare o Ihowa. Na ka whakapaia
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.
A kawea ana e ratou ki roto nga whakahere, nga whakatekau, nga mea i whakatapua; pono tonu ta ratou; ko te kaitiaki o aua mea, ko Konania Riwaiti; ko tona tuarua, ko tona teina, ko Himei.
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.
Ko Tehiere hoki, ko Atatia, ko Nahata, ko Atahere, ko Terimoto, ko Iotapara, ko Eriere, ko Ihimakia, ko Mahata, ko Penaia hei kaitirotiro, i raro ano i a Konania raua ko tona teina ko Himei, he mea whakarite na Kingi Hetekia raua ko Ataria ranga tira o te whare o te Atua.
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.
Na ko Kore tama a Imina Riwaiti, kaitiaki ki te kuwaha ki te rawhiti, hei kaitiaki mo nga mea homai noa ki te Atua, hei tuwha i nga whakahere o Ihowa, i nga mea tapu rawa.
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.
Na i raro i a ia ko Erene, ko Miniamini, ko Hehua, ko Hemaia, ko Amaria, ko Hekania, i nga pa o nga tohunga, ki ta ratou mahi tuturu, hei tuwha ma o ratou tuakana, teina, ma nga wehenga, ma te rahi, ma te iti:
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—
Haunga era i te whakapapa, nga tane e toru nei, maha atu ranei nga tau, ma te hunga katoa e tomo ana ki te whare o Ihowa, te mea mo tenei ra, mo tenei ra, mo ta ratou mahi, i a ratou e mahi ana, ara i a ratou i wehea ra hei tiaki;
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.
Ma nga tohunga ano i te whakapapa, ma nga whare o o ratou matua, ratou ko nga Riwaiti, ma te hunga e rua tekau, maha atu ranei nga tau, i a ratou i wehea ra hei tiaki;
18 The genealogy included all the little ones, wives, sons, and daughters in the whole assembly. For they had faithfully consecrated themselves as holy.
Ma a ratou kohungahunga katoa ano i te whakapapa, ma a ratou wahine, ma a ratou tama, ma a ratou tamahine, i te whakaminenga katoa; i runga hoki i te tapu ta ratou whakatapunga i a ratou ki ta ratou mahi tuturu:
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.
Ma nga tama ano a Arona, ma nga tohunga i nga mara i waho ake o o ratou pa: kei tenei pa, kei tenei pa, etahi tangata, he mea whakahua o ratou ingoa, hei tuwha ma nga tane katoa i roto i nga tohunga, ma te hunga katoa ano i roto i nga Riwaiti ku a oti te whakapapa.
20 So this is what Hezekiah did throughout Judah. He did what was good and upright and true before the LORD his God.
Ko ta Hetekia mahi tenei puta noa i a Hura; mahia ana e ia te pai, te tika, me te pono i te aroaro o Ihowa, o tona Atua.
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.
I nga meatanga katoa, i a ia ka anga nei ki nga mahi o te whare o te Atua, ki te ture, ki nga whakahau, a ka rapu i tona Atua, i whakapaua tona ngakau ki te mahi, a oti pai tana.
