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.
Na, i te otinga o tenei katoa, ka haere atu a Iharaira katoa i reira ki nga pa o Hura, a pakarua rikirikitia ana e ratou nga pou karakiatanga, tuaina ana nga Aherimi, whakahoroa ana nga wahi tiketike me nga aata puta noa i Hura, i Pineamine, i Ep araima, i Manahi a poto noa. Na hoki ana nga tama katoa a Iharaira ki tona kainga, ki tona kainga, ki o ratou pa.
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.
I whakaritea ano e Hetekia nga wehenga o nga tohunga ratou ko nga Riwaiti, ara o ratou wehenga, mo te mahi a tenei, a tenei, ko nga tohunga ratou ko nga riwaiti ki nga tahunga tinana, ki nga whakahere mo te pai, hei minita, hei whakawhetai, hei w hakamoemiti i nga kuwaha o nga nohoanga o Ihowa.
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.
I whakaritea ano e ia ta te kingi wahi i roto i ona taonga mo nga tahunga tinana, ara mo nga tahunga tinana o te ata, o te ahiahi, mo nga tahunga tinana mo nga hapati, mo nga kowhititanga marama, a mo nga hakari i whakaritea; mo nga mea i tuhituh ia ki te ture a Ihowa.
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.
I mea ano ia ki te iwi, ki nga tangata o Hiruharama, kia homai te wahi ma nga tohunga ratou ko nga Riwaiti, kia tuku ai ratou i a ratou ki te ture a Ihowa.
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.
Puaki kau te kupu, ka kawea nuitia mai e nga tama a Iharaira nga matamaua o te witi, o te waina, o te hinu, o te honi, o nga hua katoa o te mara; tona nui hoki o te whakatekau o nga mea katoa i kawea mai e ratou.
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.
Na, ko nga tama a Iharaira raua ko Hura e noho ana i nga pa o Hura, i kawea mai e ratou te whakatekau o nga kau, o nga hipi, me te whakatekau o nga mea tapu i whakatapua nei ma Ihowa, ma to ratou Atua, whakatakotoria ana e ratou tenei puranga, te nei puranga.
7 In the third month they began to lay the foundations of the heaps, and in the seventh month, they finished them.
No te toru o nga marama i timata ai ta ratou whakatu i nga puranga, no te whitu o nga marama i oti ai.
8 And when Ezechias and his princes came in, they saw the heaps, and they blessed the Lord and the people of Israel.
Na, no te taenga mai o Hetekia ratou ko nga rangatira ka kite i nga puranga, whakapai ana ratou i a Ihowa, i tana iwi hoki, i a Iharaira.
9 And Ezechias asked the priests and the Levites, why the heaps lay so.
Katahi ka uia nga tohunga me nga Riwaiti e Hetekia mo nga puranga.
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.
Na ka korero a Ataria te tino tohunga, no te whare o Haroko, ki a ia ka mea, No te timatanga o ta ratou kawe mai i nga whakahere ki te whare o Ihowa, ka kai matou, ka makona, nui atu hoki te toenga; e manaakitia ana hoki tana iwi e Ihowa. Na, ko te toenga, ko tenei haupu nui nei.
11 Then Ezechias commanded to prepare storehouses in the house of the Lord. And when they had done so,
Katahi a Hetekia ka ki kia whakapaia etahi ruma ki te whare o Ihowa. Na ka whakapaia
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,
A kawea ana e ratou ki roto nga whakahere, nga whakatekau, nga mea i whakatapua; pono tonu ta ratou; ko te kaitiaki o aua mea, ko Konania Riwaiti; ko tona tuarua, ko tona teina, ko Himei.
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.
Ko Tehiere hoki, ko Atatia, ko Nahata, ko Atahere, ko Terimoto, ko Iotapara, ko Eriere, ko Ihimakia, ko Mahata, ko Penaia hei kaitirotiro, i raro ano i a Konania raua ko tona teina ko Himei, he mea whakarite na Kingi Hetekia raua ko Ataria ranga tira o te whare o te Atua.
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.
Na ko Kore tama a Imina Riwaiti, kaitiaki ki te kuwaha ki te rawhiti, hei kaitiaki mo nga mea homai noa ki te Atua, hei tuwha i nga whakahere o Ihowa, i nga mea tapu rawa.
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:
Na i raro i a ia ko Erene, ko Miniamini, ko Hehua, ko Hemaia, ko Amaria, ko Hekania, i nga pa o nga tohunga, ki ta ratou mahi tuturu, hei tuwha ma o ratou tuakana, teina, ma nga wehenga, ma te rahi, ma te iti:
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.
Haunga era i te whakapapa, nga tane e toru nei, maha atu ranei nga tau, ma te hunga katoa e tomo ana ki te whare o Ihowa, te mea mo tenei ra, mo tenei ra, mo ta ratou mahi, i a ratou e mahi ana, ara i a ratou i wehea ra hei tiaki;
17 To the priests by their families, and to the Levites from the twentieth year and upward, by their classes and companies.
Ma nga tohunga ano i te whakapapa, ma nga whare o o ratou matua, ratou ko nga Riwaiti, ma te hunga e rua tekau, maha atu ranei nga tau, i a ratou i wehea ra hei tiaki;
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.
Ma a ratou kohungahunga katoa ano i te whakapapa, ma a ratou wahine, ma a ratou tama, ma a ratou tamahine, i te whakaminenga katoa; i runga hoki i te tapu ta ratou whakatapunga i a ratou ki ta ratou mahi tuturu:
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.
Ma nga tama ano a Arona, ma nga tohunga i nga mara i waho ake o o ratou pa: kei tenei pa, kei tenei pa, etahi tangata, he mea whakahua o ratou ingoa, hei tuwha ma nga tane katoa i roto i nga tohunga, ma te hunga katoa ano i roto i nga Riwaiti ku a oti te whakapapa.
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,
Ko ta Hetekia mahi tenei puta noa i a Hura; mahia ana e ia te pai, te tika, me te pono i te aroaro o Ihowa, o tona Atua.
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,
I nga meatanga katoa, i a ia ka anga nei ki nga mahi o te whare o te Atua, ki te ture, ki nga whakahau, a ka rapu i tona Atua, i whakapaua tona ngakau ki te mahi, a oti pai tana.
