2 Chronicles 31
1 And when these things had been celebrated according to ritual, all of Israel who had been found in the cities of Judah went forth, and they broke apart the idols and cut down the sacred groves. They demolished the high places and destroyed the altars, not only out of all Judah and Benjamin, but also out of Ephraim as well as Manasseh, until they utterly destroyed them. And all the sons of Israel returned to their possessions and cities.
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 Then Hezekiah appointed the companies of the priests and Levites by their divisions, each man in his proper office, certainly as much for the priests as for the Levites, for the sake of holocausts and peace offerings, so that they might minister and confess and sing, at the gates of the camp of the Lord.
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 Now the portion of the king, from his own substance, was such that they could offer a holocaust always, in morning and in evening, also on the Sabbaths, and the new moons, and the other solemnities, just as it was written in the law of Moses.
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 And now he instructed the people living in Jerusalem that they were to give portions to the priests and Levites, so that they would be able to attend 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 And when this had reached the ears of the multitude, the sons of Israel brought an abundance of first-fruits of grain, wine, and oil, and also honey. And they offered a tenth part of all that the soil brings forth.
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 Then too, the sons of Israel and Judah, who were living in the cities of Judah, brought tithes of oxen and sheep, and tithes of the holy things that they had vowed to the Lord their God. And carrying all these things, they made many stacks.
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 to lay out the foundations of the stacks. And in the seventh month, they finished them.
Khrah thumto naah hmuen pakhuenghaih amtong o moe, khrah sarihto naah pacoeng o.
8 And when Hezekiah and his rulers had entered, they saw the stacks, and they blessed the Lord and the people of 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 And Hezekiah questioned the priests and Levites, as to why the stacks were laid out in this way.
To ah pakhueng ih hmuen kawng pongah, Hezekiah mah qaima hoi Levi acaengnawk to lokdueng.
10 Azariah, the high priest from the stock of Zadok, answered him, saying: “Since the first-fruits began to be offered in the house of the Lord, we have eaten and been satisfied, and much remains. For the Lord has blessed his people. Then what was left over is this great abundance, which you see.”
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 And so Hezekiah instructed that they should prepare storage places for the house of the Lord. And when they had done so,
To pacoengah Hezekiah mah Angraeng imthung ah hmuen patunghaih imkhaan sak hanah lokpaek, a thuih ih lok baktih toengah a sak o.
12 they faithfully brought in the first-fruits, as well as the tithes and all that they had vowed. Now the overseer of these things was Conaniah, a Levite; 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 And after him, there was Jehiel, and Azariah, and Nahath, and Asaahel, and Jerimoth, and also Jozabad, and Eliel, and Ismachiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah, who were overseers under the hands of Conaniah, and his brother, Shimei, by the authority of Hezekiah, the king, and Azariah, the high priest of the house of God, to whom all these things belonged.
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 Yet truly, Kore, the son of Imnah, a Levite and the porter of the eastern gate, was the overseer of the things that were being offered freely to the Lord, and of the first-fruits, and of the things consecrated for the Holy of Holies.
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 And under his charge were Eden, and Benjamin, Jeshua, and Shemaiah, and also Amariah, and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, so that they would distribute faithfully to their brothers, the small as well as the great, their portions
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 (except for the males from three years old and upward) for all who were entering the temple of the Lord, and for whatever was needed for the ministry, throughout each day, as well as for the observances according to 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 so, for the priests, by their families, and for the Levites, from the twentieth year and upward, by their orders and companies,
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 and for the entire multitude, as much for the wives as for their children of both sexes, provisions were offered faithfully from whatever had been sanctified.
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 Then too, men were appointed of the sons of Aaron, throughout the fields and the suburbs of each city, who would distribute portions to all the males among the priests and Levites.
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 Therefore, Hezekiah did all these things (which we have said) in all of Judah. And he worked what is 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 for the whole service of the ministry of the house of the Lord, in accord with the law and the ceremonies, desiring to seek his God with his whole heart. And he did so, and 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.
