2 Chronicles 29
1 And so Hezekiah began to reign when he was twenty-five years old. And he reigned for twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.
Hezekiah he kum kul kum nga a lo ca vaengah manghai tih Jerusalem ah kum kul kum ko manghai. A manu ming tah Zekhariah canu Abijah ni.
2 And he did what was pleasing in the sight of the Lord, in accord with all that his father David had done.
A napa David kah a saii bang boeih la BOEIPA mik ah a thuem ni a saii.
3 In the first year and month of his reign, he opened the double doors of the house of the Lord, and he repaired them.
A manghai cuek kum dongkah a hla lamhma cuek vaengah BOEIPA im kah thohkhaih te a ong tih a tlaih.
4 And he brought together the priests and Levites. And he gathered them in the wide eastern street.
Khosoih rhoek neh Levi rhoek te a khuen tih amih te khocuk toltung ah a kuk.
5 And he said to them: “Listen to me, O Levites, and be sanctified. Cleanse the house of the Lord, the God of your fathers, and take away every uncleanness from the sanctuary.
Te phoeiah amih te, “Kai ol he hnatun uh. Levi rhoek nang, ciim uh lamtah na pa rhoek kah Pathen BOEIPA im te ciim uh laeh. Hmuencim lamkah rhalawt te khaw khoe uh laeh.
6 Our fathers sinned and did evil in the sight of the Lord our God, abandoning him. They turned their faces away from the tabernacle of the Lord, and they presented their backs.
A pa rhoek loh boe a koek uh tih mamih kah Pathen BOEIPA mikhmuh ah boethae a saii uh dongah amah te a hnawt uh. A maelhmai te BOEIPA kah dungtlungim lamloh mangthong uh tih a rhawn a maelh uh.
7 They closed up the doors which were in the portico, and they extinguished the lamps. And they did not burn incense, and they did not offer holocausts, in the sanctuary of the God of Israel.
Ngalha kah thohkhaih khaw a khaih uh tih hmaithoi te a thih uh. Bo-ul khaw phum uh pawt tih hmueihhlutnah te Israel Pathen kah hmuencim ah nawn uh pawh.
8 And so the fury of the Lord was stirred up against Judah and Jerusalem, and he handed them over to turmoil, and to destruction, and to hissing, just as you discern with your own eyes.
Te dongah BOEIPA kah thinhulnah loh Judah neh Jerusalem te a tlak thil tih amih te tonganah la, ngaihuetnah la, imsuep la, na mik neh na hmuh uh banlga thuithetnah la a khueh.
9 Lo, our fathers have fallen by the sword. Our sons, and our daughters and wives have been led away as captives because of this wickedness.
Te dongah a pa rhoek khaw cunghang dongah cungku uh coeng ke. He kongah ni mamih capa, mamih canu neh mamih yuu rhoek khaw tamna khuiah a om.
10 Now therefore, it is pleasing to me that we should enter into a covenant with the Lord, the God of Israel. And he will turn away the fury of his indignation from us.
Kai thinko khuiah Israel Pathen BOEIPA neh paipi saii ham om coeng. Te daengah ni a thintoek thinsa khaw mamih taeng lamloh a mael eh.
11 My sons, do not choose to be negligent. The Lord has chosen you so that you would stand before him, and minister to him, and worship him, and burn incense to him.”
Ka ca rhoek khaw vawk vapsa uh boeh. Nangmih te BOEIPA loh amah mikhmuh ah aka pai ham, amah taengah aka thotat ham neh a taengah aka thotat tih aka phum la om ham ni a coelh,” a ti nah.
12 Therefore, the Levites rose up, Mahath, the son of Amasai, and Joel, the son of Azariah, from the sons of Kohath; then, from the sons of Merari, Kish, the son of Abdi, and Azariah, the son of Jehallelel; and from the sons of Gershon, Joah, the son of Zimmah, and Eden, the son of Joah;
Te dongah Levi lamkah aka thoo rhoek tah, Amasai capa Mahath, Kohathi koca lamloh Azariah capa Joel, Merari koca lamloh Abdi capa Kish, Jehallelel capa Azariah, Gershon lamloh Zimmah capa Joah neh Joah capa Eden.
13 and truly, from the sons of Elizaphan, Shimri and Jeuel; also, from the sons of Asaph, Zechariah and Mattaniah;
Elizaphan koca lamloh Shimri, Jeuel neh Jeiel, Asaph koca lamloh Zekhariah neh Mattaniah.
14 indeed also, from the sons of Heman, Jehuel and Shimei; then too, from the sons of Jeduthun, Shemaiah and Uzziel.
Heman koca lamloh Jehiel neh Shimei, Jeduthun koca lamloh Shemaiah neh Uzziel.
15 And they gathered together their brothers. And they were sanctified. And they entered in accord with the command of the king and the order of the Lord, so that they might expiate the house of God.
A pacaboeina te a coi tih a ciim uh phoeiah tah manghai olpaek bangla BOEIPA im caihcil ham BOEIPA ol dongah pongpa uh.
16 And the priests, entering the temple of the Lord so that they might sanctify it, took every uncleanness, which they had found inside, out to the vestibule of the house of the Lord; and the Levites took it away and transported it outside, to the torrent Kidron.
Khosoih rhoek khaw BOEIPA im te caihcil hamla a khui la kun uh. BOEIPA bawkim ah a tihnai a hmuh boeih te BOEIPA im kah vongup la a sat uh. Te phoeiah Levi rhoek loh a doe uh tih Kidron soklong kah a voel la a thak uh.
17 Now they began to cleanse on the first day of the first month. And on the eighth day of the same month, they entered the portico of the temple of the Lord. And then they expiated the temple over eight days. And on the sixteenth day of the same month, they finished what they had begun.
Im ciim ham te a hla khat dongah lamhma la a tong uh tih te hla kah a hnin rhet dongah tah BOEIPA kah ngalha taengla pawk uh. A hnin rhet dongah BOEIPA im te a ciim uh tih lamhmacuek hla kah hnin hlai rhuk dongah a khah uh.
18 Also, they entered to king Hezekiah, and they said to him: “We have sanctified the entire house of the Lord, and the altar of holocaust, and its vessels, indeed also the table of the presence, with all its vessels,
Te phoeiah manghai Hezekiah taengah a khui la kun uh tih, “BOEIPA im boeih neh hmueihhlutnah hmueihtuk khaw, a hnopai boeih khaw, rhungkung caboei neh a hnopai boeih te khaw, ka caihcil uh coeng.
19 and all the equipment of the temple, which king Ahaz, during his reign, had polluted after his transgression. And behold, these have all been set forth before the altar of the Lord.”
Manghai Ahaz loh a ram ah boekoeknah la a hlahpham hnopai boeih te khaw ka soepsoei uh tih BOEIPA kah hmueihtuk hmai ah ka ciim uh coeng ke,” a ti nauh.
20 And rising up at first light, king Hezekiah joined as one all the leaders of the city, and they ascended to the house of the Lord.
Te vaengah manghai Hezekiah te thoo tih khopuei mangpa rhoek te a coi phoeiah BOEIPA im la cet.
21 And together they offered seven bulls and seven rams, seven lambs and seven he-goats, for sin, for the kingdom, for the Sanctuary, for Judah. And he spoke to the priests, the sons of Aaron, so that they would offer these upon the altar of the Lord.
Te phoeiah vaito pumrhih, tutal pumrhih, tuca pumrhih, maae tal pumrhih te ram ham khaw, rhokso ham khaw, Judah ham khaw boirhaem la a khuen. Te phoeiah Aaron koca khosoih taengah BOEIPA kah hmueihtuk dongah a nawn ham te a uen.
22 And so they slaughtered the bulls. And the priests took up the blood, and they poured it upon the altar. Then they also slaughtered the rams, and they poured their blood upon the altar. And they immolated the lambs, and they poured the blood upon the altar.
Te dongah saelhung a ngawn uh phoeiah tah a thii te khosoih rhoek loh a duen uh tih hmueihtuk dongah a haeh uh. Tutal khaw a ngawn uh tih a thii te hmueihtuk dongah a haeh uh bal. Tuca khaw a ngawn uh tih a thii te hmueihtuk dongah a haeh uh.
23 They brought the he-goats for sin before the king and the entire multitude. And they laid their hands upon them.
Boirhaem maae te tah manghai neh hlangping mikhmuh la a mop uh tih a soah a kut a tloeng uh.
24 And the priests immolated them, and they sprinkled their blood before the altar, for the expiation of all Israel. For certainly the king had instructed that the holocaust and the sin offering should be made on behalf of all Israel.
Hmueihhlutnah neh boirhaem he manghai loh Israel boeih ham a thui coeng. Te dongah khosoih loh a ngawn van nen tah Israel pum kah te dawth pah hamla a thii te hmueihtuk dongah a khueh uh.
25 Also, he situated the Levites in the house of the Lord, with cymbals, and psalteries, and harps, according to the disposition of king David, and of the seer Gad, and of the prophet Nathan. For indeed, this was the precept of the Lord, by the hand of his prophets.
BOEIPA im kah Levi rhoek tah David neh manghai kah khohmu Gad, tonghma Nathan kah olpaek bangla tlaklak neh, thangpa neh, rhotoeng neh paiuh. Te olpaek te BOEIPA kut neh amah kah tonghma rhoek kut ah a paek.
26 And the Levites stood, holding the musical instruments of David, and the priests held the trumpets.
Te dongah Levi rhoek te David kah a tumbael neh, khosoih rhoek te olueng neh pai uh.
27 And Hezekiah ordered that they should offer holocausts upon the altar. And when the holocausts were being offered, they began to sing praises to the Lord, and to sound the trumpets, and to play various musical instruments, which David, the king of Israel, had prepared.
Hezekiah loh hmueihtuk dongah hmueihhlutnah nawn ham a thui tih hmueihhlutnah tue a tong. Te vaengah BOEIPA laa neh olueng te a kut dongkah Israel manghai David tumbael neh a tong.
28 Then the entire crowd was adoring, and the singers and those who were holding the trumpeters were exercising their office, until the holocaust was completed.
Hlangping boeih loh a bakop van neh laa te a sak tih olueng aka ueng long khaw hmueihhlutnah boeih a coeng hil a ueng.
29 And when the oblation was finished, the king, and all who were with him, bowed down and adored.
A nawn bawt ah manghai neh a taengkah a hmuh boeih loh cungkueng uh tih a bawkuh.
30 And Hezekiah and the rulers instructed the Levites to praise the Lord with the words of David, and of Asaph, the seer. And they praised him with great joy, and kneeling down, they adored.
David neh khohmu Asaph kah olka bangla BOEIPA thangthen hamla manghai Hezekiah neh mangpa rhoek loh Levi rhoek te a uen. Te dongah kohoenah neh a thangthen uh phoeiah buluk tih a bawk uh.
31 And now Hezekiah also added: “You have filled your hands for the Lord. Draw near, and offer victims and praises in the house of the Lord.” Therefore, the entire multitude offered victims and praises and holocausts, with devout intention.
Te phoeiah Hezekiah loh a doo tih, “Na kut cung sak uh laeh, BOEIPA taengla mop uh lamtah hmueih neh uemonah te BOEIPA im la khuen uh,” a ti nah. Te dongah hlangping loh hmueih neh uemonah khaw, hlangcong lungbuei kah hmueihhlutnah cungkuem te khaw a khuen uh.
32 Now the number of the holocausts that the multitude offered was seventy bulls, one hundred rams, two hundred lambs.
A pum la hlangping loh hmueihhlutnah a khuen te vaito sawmrhih, tutal yakhat, tuca yahnih lo. He boeih he BOEIPA ham hmueihhlutnah ni.
33 And they sanctified to the Lord six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep.
Hnocim la saelhung ya rhuk, boiva thawng thum lo.
34 Truly, the priests were few; neither were they sufficient to remove the pelts from the holocausts. Therefore, the Levites, their brothers, also assisted them, until the work was completed, and the priests, who were of higher rank, were sanctified. For indeed, the Levites are sanctified with an easier ritual than the priests.
Tedae khosoih rhoek tah a sii la om uh tih hmueihhlutnah boeih te hlaih hamla noeng uh pawh. Te dongah amih te a manuca Levi rhoek loh bitat a coeng hil neh khosoih a ciim hil a duel uh. Levi rhoek tah khosoih rhoek lakah a ciim ham thinko thuem uh.
35 Thus, there were very numerous holocausts, with the fat of the peace offerings and the libations of the holocausts. And the service of the house of the Lord was completed.
Hmueihhlutnah khaw a cungkuem la rhoepnah maehtha neh, tuisi neh, hmueihhlutnah neh soep. Te dongah BOEIPA im kah thothuengnah khaw cikngae.
36 And Hezekiah and all the people were joyful because the ministry of the Lord was accomplished. For certainly, it had pleased them to do this suddenly.
Pathen loh pilnam ham a soepsoei tih ol te thaeng a thoeng coeng dongah Hezekiah neh pilnam boeih loh a kohoe.
