2 Chronicles 31
1 And when these things had been duly celebrated, all Israel that were found in the cities of Juda, went out, and they broke the idols, and cut down the groves. demolished the high places, and destroyed the altars, not only out of all Juda and Benjamin, but out of Ephraim also and Manasses, till they had utterly destroyed them: then all the children of Israel returned to their possessions and cities.
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 And Ezechias appointed companies of the priests, and the Levites, by their courses, every man in his own office, to wit, both of the priests, and of the Levites, for holocausts, and for peace offerings, to minister, and to praise, and to sing in the gates of the camp of the Lord.
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 the king’s part was, that of his proper substance the holocaust should be offered always morning and evening, and on the sabbaths, and the new moons and the other solemnities, as it is written in the law of Moses.
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 He commanded also the people that dwelt in Jerusalem, to give to the priests, and the Levites their portion, that they might attend to 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 Which when it was noised abroad in the ears of the people, the children of Israel offered in abundance the firstfruits of corn, wine, and oil, and honey: and brought the tithe of all things which the ground bringeth forth.
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 Moreover the children of Israel and Juda, that dwelt in the cities of Juda, brought in the tithes of oxen, and sheep, and the tithes of holy things, which they had vowed to the Lord their God: and carrying them all, made many heaps.
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 In the third month they began to lay the foundations of the heaps, and in the seventh month, they finished them.
Ha bidoro iwebata ihe ndị a site nʼọnwa nke atọ nʼafọ ruo nʼọnwa nke asaa.
8 And when Ezechias and his princes came in, they saw the heaps, and they blessed the Lord and the people of Israel.
Mgbe Hezekaya na ndịisi ya bịara hụ ukwu ihe ndị ahụ niile, ha toro Onyenwe anyị, gọziekwa ndị ya bụ Izrel.
9 And Ezechias asked the priests and the Levites, why the heaps lay so.
Hezekaya jụrụ ndị nchụaja na ndị Livayị banyere onyinye ndị ahụ e bubatara.
10 Azarias the chief priest of the race of Sadoc answered him, saying: Since the firstfruits began to be offered in the house of the Lord, we have eaten, and have been filled, and abundance is left, because the Lord hath blessed his people: and of that which is left is this great store which thou seest.
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 Ezechias commanded to prepare storehouses in the house of the Lord. And when they had done so,
Hezekaya nyere iwu ka e edozie ụlọ ịchịkọba ihe nʼime ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị ahụ. Ha mekwara otu a.
12 They brought in faithfully both the firstfruits, and the tithes, and all they had vowed. And the overseer of them was Chonenias the Levite, and Semei his brother was the second,
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 after him Jehiel, and Azarias, and Nahath, and Asael, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Jesmachias, and Mahath, and Banaias, overseers under the hand of Chonenias, and Semei his brother, by the commandment of Ezechias the king, and Azarias the high priest of the house of God, to whom all things appertained.
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 But Core the son of Jemna the Levite, the porter of the east gate, was overseer of the things which were freely offered to the Lord, and of the firstfruits and the things dedicated for the holy of holies.
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 his charge were Eden, and Benjamin, Jesue, and Semeias, and Amarias, and Sechenias, in the cities of the priests, to distribute faithfully portions to their brethren, both little 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 Besides the males from three years old and upward, to all that went into the temple of the Lord, and whatsoever there was need of in the ministry, and their offices according to their courses, day by day.
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 To the priests by their families, and to the Levites from the twentieth year and upward, by their classes and companies.
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 to all the multitude, both to their wives, and to their children of both sexes, victuals were given faithfully out of the things that had been sanctified.
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 Also of the sons of Aaron who were in the fields and in the suburbs of each city, there were men appointed, to distribute portions to all the males, among the priests and 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 So Ezechias did all things, which we have said in all Juda, and wrought that which was good; and right, and truth, 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 In all the service of the ministry of the house of the Lord according to the law and the ceremonies, desiring to seek his God with all his heart, and he did it and prospered,
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.
