< 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.
Ary nony vita izany rehetra izany, dia niainga nankany an-tanànan’ ny Joda ny Isiraely rehetra izay tao ka nanorotoro ny tsangam-baton-tsampy sy nikapa ny Aseraha ary nandrava ny fitoerana avo sy ny alitara eran’ i Joda sy Benjamina rehetra ary tany Efraima sy Manase koa ambara-paharavany azy rehetra. Dia samy nody ho any amin’ ny taniny sy ny tanànany avy ny Zanak’ isiraely rehetra.
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.
Ary Hezekia nanendry ny antokon’ ny mpisorona sy ny Levita araka ny antokony avy, samy araka ny fanompoany avy, dia ny mpisorona sy ny Levita ho amin’ ny fanatitra dorana sy ny fanati-pihavavana sy hanao fanompoam-pivavahana sy hisaotra ary hidera eny amin’ ny vavahadin’ ny tobin’ i Jehovah.
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.
Ary ny hatao fanatitra dorana rehetra dia nomen’ ny mpanjaka avy tamin’ ny fananany, dia ny fanatitra dorana maraina sy hariva sy ny fanatitra dorana atao amin’ ny Sabata sy amin’ ny voaloham-bolana sy amin’ ny fotoam-pivavahana, araka ny voasoratra ao amin’ ny lalan’ i Jehovah.
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.
Ary ny olona izay nonina tany Jerosalema nasainy nandoa ny anjaran’ ny mpisorona sy ny Levita hipetrahany tsara amin’ ny lalàn’ i Jehovah.
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.
Ary nony niely izany teny izany, dia nitondra voaloham-bokatra betsaka ny Zanak’ isiraely, dia vary sy ranom-boaloboka sy diloilo sy tantely ary vokatry ny tany isan-karazany; ary ny fahafolon-karena tamin’ ny zavatra rehetra, dia betsaka koa no nentiny.
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.
Ary ny Isiraely sy ny Joda, izay nonina tany an-tanànan’ ny Joda, nitondra ny fahafolon-karena koa, dia omby sy ondry aman’ osy, ary ny fahafolon’ ny zavatra masìna izay nohamasinina ho an’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny, ary navosainy nitokotoko maro ireny.
7 In the third month they began to lay the foundations of the heaps, and in the seventh month, they finished them.
Tamin’ ny volana fahatelo no vao nanomboka nanokotoko azy izy, ary tamin’ ny volana fahafito no nahavitany azy.
8 And when Ezechias and his princes came in, they saw the heaps, and they blessed the Lord and the people of Israel.
Ary nony avy Hezekia sy ny mpanapaka ka nahita ireo niavosa ireo, dia nisaotra an’ i Jehovah sy ny Isiraely olony izy.
9 And Ezechias asked the priests and the Levites, why the heaps lay so.
Ary Hezekia nanontany ny mpisorona sy ny Levita ny amin’ ireo niavosa ireo.
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.
Ary Azaria mpisoronabe, taranak’ i Zadoka, namaly azy hoe: Hatramin’ ny niandohan’ ny nitondran’ ny olona ny fanatitra ho ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah dia nihinana izahay ka voky, sady be koa ny sisa; fa Jehovah nitahy ny olony, ary ny sisa dia ireo betsaka ireo.
11 Then Ezechias commanded to prepare storehouses in the house of the Lord. And when they had done so,
Ary nasain’ i Hezekia namboatra efi-trano fitehirizana tao amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah izy; dia namboariny izany.
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,
Ary tamin’ ny fahamarinany no nampidirany ny fanatitra sy ny fahafolon-karena sy ny zavatra nohamasininy; ary Konania Levita no mpitahiry ireny, ary simey rahalahiny no manarakaraka.
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.
Ary Jehiela sy Azazia sy Nahata sy Asahela sy Jerimota sy Jozabada sy Eliala sy Jismakia sy Mahata ary Benaia, fehin’ i Konania sy Simey rahalahiny, no tonian’ ireny, araka ny didin’ i Hezekia mpanjaka sy Azaria, mpanapaka ny tranon’ Andriamanitra.
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.
Ary Kore Levita, zanak’ i Jimna, mpiandry varavarana tao atsinanana, no tonian’ ny fanati-tsitrapo ho an’ Andriamanitra, hizara ny fanatitra asandratra ho an’ i Jehovah sy ny zava-masìna indrindra.
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:
Ary ny fehin’ i Kore dia Edena sy Miniamina sy Jesoa sy Semaia sy Amaria ary Sekania tao amin’ ny tanànan’ ny mpisorona; ary adidin’ ireo ny hizara ho an’ ny rahalahiny araka ny antokony avy, na ny lehibe na ny kely,
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.
afa-tsy ny lehilahy voasoratra hatramin’ ny telo taona no ho miakatra, dia izay miditra ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah handray ny anjarany isanandro noho ny fanompoany amin’ ny anjara-raharahany araka ny antokony avy.
17 To the priests by their families, and to the Levites from the twentieth year and upward, by their classes and companies.
Ary ny amin’ ny fanoratana ny mpisorona koa, dia nosoratana araka ny fianakaviany avy, ary ny Levita koa hatramin’ ny roa-polo taona no ho miakatra, araka ny anjara-raharahany sy ny antokony avy.
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.
Ary nomena koa ny ankohonany rehetra izay voasoratra, dia ny vadiny mbamin’ ny zananilahy sy ny zananivavy rehetra; fa tamin’ ny fahamarinany no nanamasinany ny tenany ny amin’ ny zavatra masìna.
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.
Ary ho an’ ny mpisorona, taranak’ i Arona, koa, izay tany amin’ ny tany manodidina ny tanànany, dia nisy olona voatonona anarana tamin’ ny isan-tanàna hanome anjara ny lehilahy rehetra amin’ ny mpisorona sy ny Levita rehetra voasoratra.
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,
Ary toy izany no nataon’ i Hezekia eran’ i Joda rehetra; fa nanao izay tsara sy mety ary marina eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny izy.
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,
Ary ny raharaha rehetra izay natombony ny amin’ ny fanompoana ao an-tranon’ Andriamanitra sy ny lalàna ary ny didy hitadiavana an’ Andriamaniny dia nataony tamin’ ny fony rehetra, fa nambinina izy
