Chronicles II 29
1 And Ezekias began to reign at the age of twenty-five years, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Abia, daughter of Zacharias.
Hezekiya anali wa zaka 25 pamene anakhala mfumu ndipo analamulira mu Yerusalemu kwa zaka 29. Dzina la amayi ake linali Abiya mwana wa Zekariya.
2 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father David had done.
Iye anachita zolungama pamaso pa Yehova, monga momwe anachitira Davide abambo ake.
3 And it came to pass, when he was established over his kingdom, in the first month, he opened the doors of the house of the Lord, and repaired them.
Pa chaka choyamba cha ulamuliro wake, iye anatsekula zitseko za Nyumba ya Yehova ndipo anazikonza.
4 And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and put them on the east side,
Iye analowetsamo ansembe ndi Alevi ndipo anawasonkhanitsa ku bwalo lakummawa
5 and said to them, Hear, you Levites: now sanctify yourselves, and sanctify the house of the Lord God of your fathers, and cast out the impurity from the holy places.
ndipo anati: “Mverani, inu Alevi! Dziyeretseni tsopano ndiponso muyeretse Nyumba ya Yehova Mulungu wa makolo anu. Muchotse zodetsa zonse ku malo opatulika.
6 For our fathers have revolted, and done that which was evil before the Lord our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their face from the tabernacle of the Lord, and have turned [their] back.
Makolo athu anali osakhulupirika ndipo anachita zoyipa pa maso pa Yehova Mulungu wathu ndi kumusiya Yehovayo. Iwo anatembenuka ndi kusiya malo okhalako Yehova ndi kumufulatira.
7 And they have shut up the doors of the temple, and put out the lamps, and have not burnt incense, and have not offered whole burnt offerings in the holy [place] to the God of Israel.
Iwowo anatsekanso zitseko zapakhonde ndi kuzimitsa nyale. Sanafukize lubani kapena kupereka nsembe zopsereza ku malo opatulika a Mulungu wa Israeli.
8 And the Lord was very angry with Juda and Jerusalem, and made them an astonishment, and a desolation, and a hissing, as you see with your eyes.
Kotero, Yehova anakwiyira Yuda ndi Yerusalemu. Iye anawasandutsa chinthu chochititsa mantha, choopsa ndiponso chonyozedwa monga momwe mukuonera ndi maso anuwa lero lino.
9 And, behold, your fathers have been struck with the sword, and your sons and your daughters and your wives are in captivity in a land not their own, as it is even now.
Ichi nʼchifukwa chake makolo athu anaperekedwa ku lupanga ndipo nʼchifukwa chake ana athu aamuna ndi aakazi ndi akazi athu ali ku ukapolo.
10 Therefore it is now in my heart to make a covenant, a covenant with the Lord God of Israel, that he may turn away his fierce wrath from us.
Tsono ine ndikuganiza zochita pangano ndi Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli, kuti mkwiyo wake woopsawu utichokere.
11 And now be not lacking [to your duty], for the Lord has chosen you to stand before him to minister, and to be ministers and burners of incense to him.
Ana anga, musanyalanyaze tsopano, pakuti Yehova wakusankhani kuti muziyima pamaso pake ndi kumutumikira Iye, kugwira ntchito pamaso pake ndi kufukiza lubani.”
12 Then the Levites rose up, Maath the son of Amasi, and Joel the son of Azarias, of the sons of Caath: and of the sons of Merari, Kis the son of Abdi, and Azarias the son of Haelel: and of the sons of Gedsoni, Jodaad the son of Zemmath, and Joadam: these [were] the sons of Joacha.
Ndipo Alevi awa anakonzeka kugwira ntchito: Kuchokera ku banja la Kohati, Mahati mwana wa Amasai ndi Yoweli mwana wa Azariya; kuchokera ku banja la Merari, Kisi mwana wa Abidi ndi Azariya mwana wa Yehaleleli; kuchokera ku banja la Geresoni, Yowa mwana wa Zima ndi Edeni mwana wa Yowa;
13 And of the sons of Elisaphan; Zambri, and Jeiel: and of the sons of Asaph; Zacharias, and Matthanias:
kuchokera kwa zidzukulu za Elizafani, Simiri ndi Yeiyeli; kuchokera kwa zidzukulu za Asafu, Zekariya ndi Mataniya;
14 and of the sons of Aeman; Jeiel, and Semei: and of the sons of Idithun; Samaisa, and Oziel.
kuchokera kwa zidzukulu za Hemani, Yehieli ndi Simei; kuchokera kwa zidzukulu za Yedutuni, Semaya ndi Uzieli.
15 And they gathered their brethren, and they purified themselves according to the king's command by the order of the Lord, to purify the house of the Lord.
Atasonkhanitsa abale awo ndi kudziyeretsa, iwo anapita kukayeretsa Nyumba ya Yehova, monga inalamulira mfumu, potsatira mawu a Yehova.
16 And the priests entered into the house of the Lord, to purify [it], and they cast out all the uncleanness that was found in the house of the Lord, even into the court of the house of the Lord: and the Levites received [it] to cast into the brook of Kedron without.
Ansembe analowa ku malo opatulika a Yehova kukayeretsako. Anatulutsira ku bwalo la Nyumba ya Yehova chilichonse chodetsedwa chimene anachipeza mʼNyumba ya Yehova. Alevi anatenga zimenezo ndi kupita nazo ku chigwa cha Kidroni.
17 And [Ezekias] began on the first day, [even] on the new moon of the first month, to purify, and on the eighth day of the month they entered into the temple of the Lord: and they purified the house of the Lord in eight days; and on the thirteenth day of the first month they finished [the work].
Iwo anayamba mwambo woyeretsawu tsiku loyamba la mwezi woyamba ndipo pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chitatu la mweziwo anafika pa khonde la nyumba ya Yehova. Tsono anachita mwambo woyeretsa Nyumba ya Yehova ija masiku asanu ndi atatu, ndipo anamaliza pa tsiku la 16 mwezi woyamba.
18 And they went in to king Ezekias, and said, We have purified all the things in the house of the Lord, the altar of whole burnt offering, and its vessels, and the table of show-bread, and its vessels;
Ndipo anapita kwa mfumu Hezekiya ndi kukafotokoza kuti, “Ife tayeretsa Nyumba ya Mulungu yonse, guwa lansembe zopsereza ndi ziwiya zake zonse, ndiponso tebulo limene timayikapo buledi wopatulika pamodzi ndi zinthu zake zonse.
19 and all the vessels which king Achaz polluted in his reign, in his apostasy, we have prepared and purified: behold, they are before the altar of the Lord.
Takonza ndi kuyeretsa zinthu zonse zimene mfumu Ahazi anazichotsa mwa kusakhulupirika kwake pamene anali mfumu. Taziyika kutsogolo kwa guwa la Yehova.”
20 And king Ezekias rose early in the morning, and gathered the chief men of the city, and went up to the house of the Lord.
Mmamawa tsiku linalo, mfumu Hezekiya inasonkhanitsa pamodzi akuluakulu a mu mzindawo ndipo inapita ku Nyumba ya Yehova.
21 And he brought seven calves, seven rams, seven lambs, seven kids of goats for a sin-offering, for the kingdom, and for the holy things, and for Israel: and he told the priests the sons of Aaron to go up to the altar of the Lord.
Iwo anabweretsa ngʼombe zazimuna zisanu ndi ziwiri ndi nkhosa zazimuna zisanu ndi ziwiri, ana ankhosa aamuna asanu ndi awiri, mbuzi zazimuna zisanu ndi ziwiri monga nsembe zoperekedwa chifukwa cha tchimo la ufumu, la malo opatulika ndi Yuda. Tsono mfumu inalamula ansembe, zidzukulu za Aaroni, kuti apereke zimenezi pa guwa lansembe la Yehova.
22 And they killed the calves, and the priests received the blood, and poured it on the altar: and they killed the rams, and poured the blood upon the altar: also they killed the lambs, and poured the blood round the altar.
Choncho anthuwo anapha ngʼombe zazimunazo ndipo ansembe anatenga magazi ake ndi kuwawaza pa guwa lansembe, kenaka anapha nkhosa zazimuna zija ndipo anawaza magazi ake pa guwa lansembe; anaphanso ana ankhosa aja ndipo anawaza magazi ake pa guwa lansembe.
23 And they brought the goats for a sin-offering before the king and the congregation; and laid their hands upon them.
Mbuzi zoperekedwa chifukwa cha tchimo zija zinabweretsedwa pamaso pa mfumu ndi anthu onse, ndipo anasanjika manja awo pa izo.
24 And the priests killed them, and offered their blood as a propitiation on the altar; and they made atonement for all Israel: for the king said, The whole burnt offering, and the sin-offering [are] for all Israel.
Kenaka ansembe anapha mbuzizo ndipo anapereka magazi ake pa guwa, kuti ukhale mwambo wofafanizira machimo a Aisraeli onse, pakuti mfumu inalamula kuti nsembe yopsereza ndi yopepesera machimo zichitike chifukwa cha Aisraeli onse.
25 And he stationed the Levites in the house of the Lord with cymbals, and lutes, and harps, according to the commandment of king David, and of Gad the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet: for by the commandment of the Lord the order [was] in the hand of the prophets.
Iye anayika Alevi mʼNyumba ya Yehova ali ndi ziwaya za malipenga, azeze ndi apangwe potsata lamulo la Davide, Gadi mlosi wa mfumu ndi mneneri Natani. Pakuti Yehova ndiye analamula zimenezi kudzera mwa aneneri.
26 And the Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.
Kotero Alevi anayima okonzekera atanyamula zoyimbira za Davide ndiponso ansembe atanyamula malipenga awo.
27 And Ezekias told [them] to offer up the whole burnt offering on the altar: and when they began to offer the whole burnt offering, they began to sing to the Lord, and the trumpets [accompanied] the instruments of David king of Israel.
Hezekiya analamulira kuti apereke nsembe zopsereza pa guwa. Pamene amayamba kupereka nsembezo, kuyimbira Yehova kunayambikanso, pamodzi ndi malipenga ndi zipangizo zoyimbira za Davide mfumu ya Israeli.
28 And all the congregation worshipped, and the psalm-singers [were] singing, and the trumpets sounding, until the whole burnt sacrifice had been completely offered.
Anthu onse anawerama pansi ndi kulambira, pamene oyimba amayimba ndi malipenga. Izi zonse zinapitirira mpaka pa mapeto pa nsembe zopsereza.
29 And when they had done offering [it], the king and all that were present bowed, and worshipped.
Zopereka zitatha, mfumu ndi wina aliyense amene anali naye anagwada pansi ndi kulambira.
30 And king Ezekias and the princes told the Levites to sing hymns to the Lord in the words of David, and of Asaph the prophet: and they sang hymns with gladness, and fell down and worshipped.
Mfumu Hezekiya ndi akuluakulu ake analamulira Alevi kuti atamande Yehova potsata mawu a Davide ndi mlosi Asafu. Kotero anayimba nyimbo zamatamando mokondwera ndipo anaweramitsa mitu yawo ndi kulambira.
31 Then Ezekias answered and said, Now you have consecrated yourselves to the Lord, bring near and offer sacrifices of praise in the house of the Lord. And the congregation brought sacrifices and thank-offerings into the house of the Lord; and every one who was ready in his heart [brought] whole burnt offerings.
Kenaka Hezekiya anati, “Inu mwadzipereka tsopano kwa Yehova. Bwerani ndipo mufike ndi nsembe ndi zopereka zachiyamiko ku Nyumba ya Yehova.” Choncho anthu onse anabweretsa nsembe ndi zopereka zachiyamiko, ndipo anthu onse amene anali ofuna mu mtima mwawo anabweretsa nsembe zopsereza.
32 And the number of the whole burnt offerings which the congregation brought, was seventy calves, a hundred rams, two hundred lambs: all these [were] for a whole burnt offering to the Lord.
Chiwerengero cha nsembe zopsereza chimene anthu onse anabweretsa chinali ngʼombe zazimuna makumi asanu ndi awiri, nkhosa zazimuna 100, ana ankhosa aamuna 200 ndipo zonsezi zinali za nsembe yopsereza kwa Yehova.
33 And the consecrated calves were six hundred, [and] the sheep three thousand.
Ziweto zimene zinapatulidwa kukhala nsembe zinalipo ngʼombe zazimuna 600, nkhosa ndi mbuzi 3,000.
34 But the priests were few, and could not flay the whole burnt offering, so their brethren the Levites helped them, until the work was finished, and until the priests had purified themselves: for the Levites [more] zealously purified [themselves] than the priests.
Koma ansembe anali ochepa kuti asende zonse zopsereza. Choncho abale awo Alevi anawathandiza mpaka ntchito yonse inatha ndipo mpaka ansembe ena atadziyeretsa, pakuti Alevi anachita changu kudziyeretsa kulekana ndi momwe anachitira ansembe.
35 And the whole burnt offering [was] abundant, with the fat of the complete peace-offering, and the drink-offerings of the whole burnt sacrifice. So the service was established in the house of the Lord.
Panali nsembe zopsereza zochuluka, pamodzi ndi mafuta a nsembe yachiyanjano ndi nsembe yachakumwa imene imachitika pamodzi ndi nsembe yopsereza. Kotero ntchito ya mʼNyumba ya Mulungu inakhazikitsidwanso.
36 And Ezekias and all the people rejoiced, because God has prepared the people: for the thing was done suddenly.
Hezekiya ndi anthu onse anakondwera pa zimene Mulungu anachitira anthu ake, chifukwa zinachita mwamsangamsanga.
