< 2 Chronicles 31 >

1 When all this had finished, the Israelites who were there went to the towns of Judah and smashed the pagan pillars, cut down the Asherah poles, and destroyed the high places and altars throughout Judah and Benjamin, as well as in Ephraim and Manasseh, until they had completely demolished all of them. After that they all went home to their respective towns.
A cungkuem te a coeng uh vaengah aka pumphoe Israel boeih te Judah khopuei la cet uh tih kaam te a phaek uh. Asherah te a top uh tih Judah pum ah hmuensang neh hmueihtuk te a palet uh. Te phoeiah Benjamin, Ephraim khui neh Manasseh hil a khah uh. Te phoeiah Israel ca boeih te a khohut amamih khopuei la rhip mael uh.
2 Then Hezekiah reallocated the divisions of the priests and Levites, each according to their service: presenting burnt offerings and friendship offerings, serving, giving thanks, and singing praises at the entrances of the Lord's Temple.
Hezekiah loh khosoih rhoek neh Levi kah boelhnah te a khueh. Amih kah boelnah bangla hlang te amah kah thothuengnah tarhing ah khosoih la, Levi la om. Te long te hmueihhlutnah ham neh rhoepnah ham khaw, thohtat ham khaw, BOEIPA rhaehhmuen vongka ah aka thangthen ham neh aka uem ham khaw a hut nah.
3 The king contributed personally towards the morning and evening burnt offerings, and for the burnt offerings on the Sabbaths, new moons, and special feasts, as required by the Law of the Lord.
BOEIPA olkhueng khuikah a daek bangla manghai loh a khuehtawn te hmueihhlutnah ham khaw, hlaem neh mincang kah hmueihhlutnah ham khaw, Sabbath vaengkah neh hlasae vaengkah hmueihhlutnah, khoning vaengkah buham la a paek.
4 He also ordered the people living in Jerusalem to provide for the priests and Levites so that they could dedicate themselves to studying and teaching the Law of the Lord.
Khosoih neh Levi kah buham a paek tih BOEIPA olkhueng dongah thaa a huel uh ham te pilnam taeng neh Jerusalem khosa rhoek taengah a thui pah.
5 As soon as the message went out, the Israelites generously gave the firstfruits of the grain, new wine, olive oil, and honey, and of all the crops. They brought plenty, a tithe of everything.
Ol te a haeh coeng dongah Israel ca rhoek loh cangpai thaihcuek, misur thai, situi, khoitui neh khohmuen vueithaih cungkuem te a kum sak uh tih parha pakhat boeih khaw a cungkuem la a khuen uh.
6 The people of Israel now living in Judah, and the people of Judah brought a tithe of their herds and flocks. They also brought a tithe of what had been dedicated to the Lord their God, and piled them up.
Judah khopuei rhoek ah kho aka sa Amih Israel ca neh Judah rhoek long khaw saelhung boiva parha pakhat neh a Pathen BOEIPA taengah a ciim hnocim parha pakhat khaw a khuen uh tih a som som la a paek uh.
7 They started doing this in the third month, and they finished in the seventh month.
A hla thum dongah a hlom la a hmoek uh te a tong uh tih a hla rhih dongah a coeng uh.
8 When Hezekiah and his officials came and saw what had been collected, they thanked the Lord and his people Israel.
Hezekiah neh mangpa rhoek a pawk uh tih a hlom te a hmuh vaengah BOEIPA neh a pilnam Israel te a uem uh.
9 Hezekiah asked the priests and Levites about what had been collected.
Hezekiah loh Khosoih rhoek neh Levi rhoek taengah a hlom kawng te a dawt.
10 Azariah, the chief priest of the family of Zadok, answered, “Ever since the people began to bring their contributions into the Lord's Temple, we have had enough to eat and plenty to spare. Because the Lord has blessed his people there is so much left over.”
Te dongah anih te Zadok imkhui lamkah khosoih boeilu Azariah loh a doo tih, “Khosaa te BOEIPA im la pawk puei ham a tong uh lamlong tah BOEIPA loh a pilnam yoethen a paek tih caak khaw a cung phoeiah cangpai la cuem. Te dongah he tlam he muep coih,” a ti nah.
11 Hezekiah ordered the construction of storehouses in the Lord's Temple. Once they were ready,
Te dongah Hezekiah loh BOEIPA im khuikah imkhan te rhoekbah hamla a uen tih a rhoekbah uh.
12 the people faithfully brought in their offerings, tithes, and dedicated gifts. Conaniah the Levite was the one who was responsible for them, and his brother Shimei was second in command.
Te phoeiah khosaa neh parha pakhat khaw, hnocim khaw uepomnah neh a khuen uh. Te te rhaengsang Levi Kohnaniah, a mana hnukthoi Shimei loh a khoem.
13 They were in charge of the following officers: Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismachiah, Mahath, and Benaiah were overseers who assisted Conaniah and Shimei his brother. They were appointed by King Hezekiah and Azariah, the chief officer of God's Temple.
Te vaengah Jehiel neh Azaziah, Nahath neh Asahel, Jerimoth neh Jozabad, Eliel neh Ismakhiah, Mahath neh Benaiah tah Kohnaniah kut hmuiah hlangtawt la om uh. Kohnaniah neh a mana Shimei he tah manghai Hezekiah neh Pathen im kah rhaengsang Azariah kah hlangboel ni.
14 Kore, son of Imnah, the Levite, the gatekeeper of the East Gate, was responsible for receiving the freewill offerings given to God. He also distributed the offerings given to the Lord, together with the consecrated gifts.
Khocuk kah thoh tawt, Levi Imnah capa Kore loh BOEIPA kah khosaa la a paek ham Pathen kah kothoh neh a cim a cim te a khoem.
15 Under him were his assistants Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah. They faithfully made the allocations to their fellow Levites in their towns, according to the priestly divisions, sharing equally with the old and young.
Anih kut hmuikah Eden neh Miniamin, Jeshua neh Shemaiah, Amariah neh Shekaniah loh khosoih khopuei kah a pacaboeina te tanoe kangham la a boelnah neh uepomnah la a tael.
16 They also gave allowances to the males listed in the genealogy who were three years of age or older, to all who would enter the Lord's Temple to perform their daily duties of serving according to the responsibilities of their divisions.
Amih te tongpa ca kum thum neh a so hang khaw, a hnin, hnin kah bitat ham khaw, amih kah kueknah bangla amamih kah thothuengnah ham khaw, a boelnah neh BOEIPA im la aka kun boeih a khuui la om.
17 They also gave allowances to the priests listed by family in the genealogy, and to the Levites twenty years of age or older, according to the responsibilities of their divisions.
Khosoih rhoek khaw a napa imko neh, Levi rhoek khaw tongpa kum kul lamloh a so hang tah amamih kah a kueknah bangla amamih a boelnah neh a khuui om van.
18 The genealogy included all the babies, wives, sons, and daughters of the whole community, for they were faithful in making sure they dedicated themselves as holy.
Amih hlangping boeih kah camoe boeih khaw, a yuu rhoek khaw, a capa rhoek khaw, a canu rhoek khaw, amamih kah uepomnah neh a khuui la om tih hmuencim ah ciim uh.
19 In the case of the priests, the descendants of Aaron, those who lived on the farmlands around their towns, men were appointed by name in all the towns to distribute an allocation to every male among the priests and to every Levite as listed in the genealogies.
Khosoih Aaron koca rhoek ham khaw amamih kah khopuei, khocaak khohmuen ah, khopuei, khopuei boeih ah a ming neh hlang mingpha uh. Khosoih tongpa boeih neh Levi kah a khuui boeih te maehvae a paek uh.
20 This is what Hezekiah did throughout the whole of Judah. He did what was good, right, and true before the Lord his God.
Hezekiah loh Judah pum ah he bang a saii vaengah a Pathen BOEIPA mikhmuh ah uepomnah neh a thuem neh a then ni a saii.
21 In everything he did in working for God's Temple and in following God's laws and commandments, Hezekiah was sincere in his commitment to God. So he was successful in all he did.
Bitat boeih dongah khaw Pathen im kah thothuengnah neh a tong tih olkhueng ham neh olpaek ham khaw a Pathen te a thinko boeih neh a toem dongah a saii vaengah thaihtak van.
