< 2 Chronicles 31 >

1 Now when all this was over, all the men of Israel who were present went out into the towns of Judah, causing the stone pillars to be broken up and the wood pillars to be cut down, pulling down the high places and the altars in all Judah and Benjamin, as well as in Ephraim and Manasseh, till all were gone. Then all the children of Israel went back to their towns, every man to his property.
Mgbe ihe niile a gwụsịrị, ndị Izrel bụ ndị nọ nʼebe ahụ pụrụ gaa nʼobodo niile dị na Juda, kurisie ogidi nsọ niile, gbutukwa ogidi Ashera niile. Ha kwatụrụ ebe niile dị elu na ebe ịchụ aja niile dị na Juda, Benjamin, Ifrem na Manase. Mgbe ha lachara ha niile nʼiyi, ndị Izrel niile laghachiri nʼobodo nke aka ha nakwa nʼihe onye ọbụla nwere.
2 Then Hezekiah put in order the divisions of the priests and Levites, every man in his division, in relation to his work, for the burned offerings and peace-offerings, and for the ordering of worship and for giving praise at the doors of the Lord's house.
Hezekaya kenyekwara ndị nchụaja na ndị Livayị nʼusoro ịrụ ọrụ ha nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Chineke ụbọchị niile, maka ọrụ ịchụ aja nsure ọkụ na aja udo, na inye ekele, na ito Onyenwe anyị nʼọnụ ụzọ ama ebe obibi ya.
3 And he gave the king's part of his private property for the burned offerings, that is, for the morning and evening offerings, and the offerings for the Sabbath and the new moons and the regular feasts, as it is recorded in the law of the Lord.
Eze nyekwara ụtụ nke ya site nʼihe nweta ya maka iji chụọ aja nsure ọkụ, nke ụtụtụ na abalị, ya na aja nsure ọkụ nke ụbọchị izuike niile na ọnwa ọhụrụ, na nke mmemme niile a kara aka a na-eme dịka ọ dị nʼiwu Onyenwe anyị.
4 In addition, he gave orders to the people of Jerusalem to give to the priests and Levites that part which was theirs by right, so that they might be strong in keeping the law of the Lord.
O nyekwara ndị bi na Jerusalem iwu ka ha na-ewebatara ndị nchụaja na ndị Livayị oke nke ruuru ha, ka ha nwee ike lebanye anya nke ọma nʼiwu Onyenwe anyị.
5 And when the order was made public, straight away the children of Israel gave, in great amounts, the first-fruits of their grain and wine and oil and honey, and of the produce of their fields; and they took in a tenth part of everything, a great store.
Ngwangwa e kwusara okwu a, ụmụ Izrel niile wetara onyinye ha nʼebe ọ bara ụba. Ha wetara mkpụrụ mbụ nke ọka ha, na mmanya vaịnị ọhụrụ ha, na mmanụ oliv, na mmanụ aṅụ, na ihe omume niile nke ubi. Ha wetakwara nʼụba otu ụzọ nʼụzọ iri nke ihe niile ọzọ ha nwere.
6 And the children of Israel and Judah, who were living in the towns of Judah came with the tenth part of their oxen and sheep, and a tenth of all the holy things which were to be given to the Lord their God, and put them in great masses.
Ndị Izrel na Juda niile bi nʼobodo Juda bubatakwara otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ iri nke igwe ehi, na igwe ewu na atụrụ, na otu ụzọ nʼụzọ iri nke ihe nsọ niile edoro nsọ nye Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke ha. Ha doro ha niile nʼukwu nʼukwu
7 The first store of things was put down in the third month, and in the seventh month the masses were complete.
Ha bidoro iwebata ihe ndị a site nʼọnwa nke atọ nʼafọ ruo nʼọnwa nke asaa.
8 And when Hezekiah and the rulers came and saw all the store of goods, they gave praise to the Lord and to his people Israel.
Mgbe Hezekaya na ndịisi ya bịara hụ ukwu ihe ndị ahụ niile, ha toro Onyenwe anyị, gọziekwa ndị ya bụ Izrel.
9 Then Hezekiah put questions to the priests and Levites about the store of goods.
Hezekaya jụrụ ndị nchụaja na ndị Livayị banyere onyinye ndị ahụ e bubatara.
10 And Azariah, the chief priest, of the family of Zadok, said in answer, From the time when the people first came with their offerings into the house of the Lord, we have had food enough, and more than enough: for the blessing of the Lord is on his people; and there is this great store which has not been used.
Azaraya, onyeisi nchụaja, onye sitere nʼikwu Zadọk zara sị ya; “Lee, kemgbe ndị mmadụ malitere iwebata onyinye ha nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị o nwebeghị ihe kọrọ anyị. Nʼezie, anyị nwere karịa, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị agọziela ndị ya. Leekwa ihe dị ukwuu ka fọdụrụ.”
11 Then Hezekiah said that store-rooms were to be made ready in the house of the Lord; and this was done.
Hezekaya nyere iwu ka e edozie ụlọ ịchịkọba ihe nʼime ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị ahụ. Ha mekwara otu a.
12 And in them they put all the offerings and the tenths and the holy things, keeping nothing back, and over them was Conaniah the Levite, with Shimei his brother second to him.
Emesịa, ha jiri ikwesi ntụkwasị obi bubata onyinye ndị ahụ, na onyinye nke otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ iri, na onyinye e doro nsọ, tifee ha nʼaka Konanaya, onye Livayị. Shimei nwanne ya nwoke bụ onye na-esote ya.
13 And Jehiel and Azaziah and Nahath and Asahel and Jerimoth and Jozabad and Eliel and Ismachiah and Mahath and Benaiah were overseers, under the directions of Conaniah and Shimei his brother, by the order of Hezekiah the king and Azariah, the ruler of the house of God.
Jehiel, Azazaya, Nahat, Asahel, Jerimot, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismakaya, Mahat na Benaya, bụ ndị nlekọta ọrụ ndị nọ nʼokpuru Konanaya na Shimei nwanne ya. Ndị a niile bụ ndị eze Hezekaya na Azaraya onye nlekọta ụlọnsọ ukwu Chineke họpụtara.
14 And Kore, the son of Imnah the Levite, the keeper of the east door, had control of the offerings freely given to God, and the distribution of the offerings of the Lord and the most holy things.
Kore nwa Imna, onye Livayị, onye bụkwa onye na-elekọta ọnụ ụzọ ama dị nʼọwụwa anyanwụ, ka e tinyere ọrụ ilekọta onyinye afọ ofufu niile e wetaara Chineke. Ọ bụ ya nwekwa ọrụ ikesa onyinye ndị ahụ niile e bubataara Onyenwe anyị ha na onyinye ndị ọzọ e doro nsọ.
15 And under him were Eden and Miniamin and Jeshua and Shemaiah and Amariah and Shecaniah, in the towns of the priests, who were made responsible for giving it to all their brothers, by divisions, to small and great:
Ndị na-enyere ya aka bụ Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaya, Amaraya na Shekanaya. Ha na-eke onyinye ahụ nye ndị nchụaja niile nʼobodo ahụ, onye ukwu na onye nta, dịka usoro ịrụ ọrụ ha si dị. Ha ji ikwesi ntụkwasị obi na-enyere ya aka.
16 As well as to all the males, of three years old and over, listed by their families, who went into the house of the Lord to do what was needed day by day, for their special work with their divisions.
Ọzọkwa, ndị ikom niile si nʼezinaụlọ ndị nchụaja, ndị gbara site nʼafọ atọ gbagoo, ndị aha ha dị nʼakwụkwọ usoro ọmụmụ, bụ ndị na-arụ ọrụ nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị, na-eketa oke ihe oriri ha na-eri mgbe ọbụla ha bịara ịrụ ọrụ dịka usoro ọrụ ha si dị.
17 And the families of the priests were listed by their fathers' names, but the Levites, of twenty years old and over, were listed in relation to their work in their divisions;
Ha na-ekenye ndị nchụaja niile e dere aha ha nʼakwụkwọ usoro ọmụmụ, kenyekwa ndị Livayị niile gbara site iri afọ abụọ gbagoo ihe oriri dịka usoro ọrụ ha si dị.
18 And in the lists were all their little ones and their wives and their sons and daughters, through all the people: they made themselves holy in the positions which they were given.
Ndị na-esokwa keta oke ndị a bụ ụmụntakịrị, na ndị inyom, na ụmụ ndị ikom na ndị inyom na-etolite etolite, bụ ndị niile e depụtara aha ha nʼakwụkwọ usoro ọmụmụ. Ndị a bụ ndị kwesiri ntụkwasị obi nʼido onwe ha nsọ.
19 And as for the sons of Aaron, the priests, living in the country on the outskirts of their towns, every different town there were men, marked out by name, to give their part of the goods to all the males among the priests, and to all who were listed among the Levites.
A họpụtara ụfọdụ ndị ikom ndị ọrụ ha bụ ike nri nye ndị nchụaja niile bụ ụmụ ụmụ Erọn. Ndị nchụaja a na-ekwu ihe banyere ha nʼebe a bụ ndị ahụ bi nʼala ubi nke gbara obodo ndị nchụaja gburugburu, maọbụ ndị bi nʼobodo ndị ọzọ. Ndị a bụkwa ndị e dere aha ha niile nʼakwụkwọ usoro ọmụmụ ndị Livayị.
20 This Hezekiah did through all Judah; he did what was good and right and true before the Lord his God.
Ndị a bụ ihe ndị Hezekaya mere nʼime Juda niile, ọ na-eme ihe dị mma, na nke ziri ezi, nʼikwesị ntụkwasị obi nʼihu Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke ya.
21 And for everything he undertook, in connection with the work of the house of God and his law and orders, he got directions from God and did it with serious purpose; and things went well for him.
Nʼime ihe niile o mere, nke metụtara ije ozi nke ụlọ ukwu Chineke, na idebe iwu niile na ụkpụrụ niile Onyenwe anyị nyere, Hezekaya ji obi ya niile gbasoo Chineke. O jikwa obi ya niile jee ozi niile o jere. Nke a mekwara ka ihe gaara ya nke ọma.
