2 Chronicles 29

1 Hezekiah began to reign when he was five and twenty years old, and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.

E rua tekau ma rima nga tau o Hetekia i tona kingitanga, a e rua tekau ma iwa nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama; ko te ingoa hoki o tona whaea ko Apia, he tamahine na Hakaraia.

2 And he did that which was right in the sight of Yhwh, according to all that David his father had done.

A he tika tana mahi ki ta Ihowa titiro, i rite ki nga mea katoa i mea ai tona papa, a Rawiri.

3 He in the first year of his reign, in the first month, opened the doors of the house of Yhwh, and repaired them.

I te tuatahi o nga tau o tona kingitanga, i te marama tuatahi, ka uakina e ia nga tatau o te whare o Ihowa, hanga ana e ia kia pai.

4 And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them together into the east street,

Na ka mauria mai e ia ki roto nga tohunga ratou ko nga Riwaiti, a ka huihuia ratou ki te marae i te taha rawhiti,

5 And said unto them, Hear me, ye Levites, sanctify now yourselves, and sanctify the house of Yhwh God of your fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the holy place.

A ka mea ia ki a ratou, Whakarongo mai, e nga Riwaiti, whakatapua koutou aianei, whakatapua hoki te whare o Ihowa, o te Atua o o koutou matua, maua atu hoki te mea poke i roto i te wahi tapu.

6 For our fathers have trespassed, and done that which was evil in the eyes of Yhwh our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of Yhwh, and turned their backs.

I he hoki o tatou matua, i mahi i te kino i te titiro a Ihowa, a to tatou Atua. Whakarerea ake ia e ratou, tahuri ke ana o ratou aroaro i te tapenakara o Ihowa; hurihia ake e ratou ko o ratou tuara.

7 Also they have shut up the doors of the porch, and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense nor offered burnt offerings in the holy place unto the God of Israel.

Ko nga tatau ano o te whakamahau, i tutakina e ratou; tineia iho nga rama, kihai hoki he whakakakara i tahuna e ratou; a kahore he tahunga tinana i whakaekea i te wahi tapu ki te Atua o Iharaira.

8 Wherefore the wrath of Yhwh was upon Judah and Jerusalem, and he hath delivered them to trouble, to astonishment, and to hissing, as ye see with your eyes.

Koia te riri o Ihowa i anga ai ki a Hura, ki Hiruharama, a tukua ana ratou e ia kia whiuwhiua, hei miharo me ta o koutou kanohi e kite nei.

9 For, lo, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this.

Nana, kua hinga nei o tatou matua i te hoari; ko te mea ano tenei i whakaraua ai a tatou tama, a tatou tamahine, a tatou wahine.

10 Now it is in mine heart to make a covenant with Yhwh God of Israel, that his fierce wrath may turn away from us.

Na ko ta toku ngakau tenei, kia whakaritea he kawenata ki a Ihowa, ki te Atua o Iharaira, kia tahuri atu ai i a tatou tona riri e mura nei.

11 My sons, be not now negligent: for Yhwh hath chosen you to stand before him, to serve him, and that ye should minister unto him, and burn incense.

E aku tama, kaua koutou e mangere: he mea whiriwhiri nei hoki koutou na Ihowa hei tu ki tona aroaro, hei mahi ki a ia, hei minita ki a ia, hei tahu whakakakara.

12 Then the Levites arose, Mahath the son of Amasai, and Joel the son of Azariah, of the sons of the Kohathites: and of the sons of Merari, Kish the son of Abdi, and Azariah the son of Jehalelel: and of the Gershonites; Joah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joah:

Katahi ka whakatika nga Riwaiti, a Mahata tama a Amahai, a Hoera tama a Ataria, no nga tama a nga Kohati: a, o nga tama a Merari, ko Kihi tama a Apari, ko Ataria tama a Ieharereere: o nga Kerehoni hoki, ko Ioaha tama a Tima, ko Erene tama a Ioah a:

13 And of the sons of Elizaphan; Shimri, and Jeiel: and of the sons of Asaph; Zechariah, and Mattaniah:

A, o nga tama a Eritapana, ko Himiri, ko Teiere: o nga tama a Ahapa, ko Hakaraia, ko Matania;

14 And of the sons of Heman; Jehiel, and Shimei: and of the sons of Jeduthun; Shemaiah, and Uzziel.

O nga tama a Hemana, ko Tehiere, ko Himei; o nga tama e Ierutunu, ko Hemaia, ko Utiere.

15 And they gathered their brethren, and sanctified themselves, and came, according to the commandment of the king, by the words of Yhwh, to cleanse the house of Yhwh.

Na huihuia ana e ratou o ratou tuakana, teina, kei te whakatapu ratou i a ratou, a haere ana ki roto ki ta te kingi i whakahau ai, ara ki ta Ihowa i ki ai, ki te pure i te whare o Ihowa.

16 And the priests went into the inner part of the house of Yhwh, to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of Yhwh into the court of the house of Yhwh. And the Levites took it, to carry it out abroad into the brook Kidron.

Na haere ana nga tohunga ki roto rawa i te whare o Ihowa ki te tahi i te poke, a whakaputaina ana e ratou ki waho nga mea poke katoa i kitea i roto i te temepara o Ihowa ki te marae o te whare o Ihowa. Na tangohia ana e nga Riwaiti, kawea ana ki waho ki te awa ki Kitirono.

17 Now they began on the first day of the first month to sanctify, and on the eighth day of the month came they to the porch of Yhwh: so they sanctified the house of Yhwh in eight days; and in the sixteenth day of the first month they made an end.

No te ra tuatahi o te marama tuatahi i timata ai ratou te whakatapu, a no te waru o nga ra o te marama i tae ai ratou ki te whakamahau o Ihowa. Na whakatapua ana e ratou te whare o Ihowa, e waru nga ra; a no te tekau ma ono o nga ra o te marama tuatahi i oti ai.

18 Then they went in to Hezekiah the king, and said, We have cleansed all the house of Yhwh, and the altar of burnt offering, with all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread table, with all the vessels thereof.

Katahi ka haere ratou ki roto, kite kingi, ki a Hetekia, a ka mea, Kua tahia e matou te poke o te whare o Ihowa, o te aata tahunga tinana, o ona mea katoa, o te tepu taro aroaro, o ona mea katoa.

19 Moreover all the vessels, which king Ahaz in his reign did cast away in his transgression, have we prepared and sanctified, and, behold, they are before the altar of Yhwh.

Ko nga oko katoa hoki i akiritia atu e Kingi Ahata i tona kingitanga, i a ia i he ra, kua oti i a matou te whakapai, te whakatapu. Nana, ko aua mea ra kei te aronga o te aata a Ihowa.

20 Then Hezekiah the king rose early, and gathered the rulers of the city, and went up to the house of Yhwh.

Katahi ka maranga wawe a Kingi Hetekia i te ata, huihuia ana e ia nga rangatira o te pa, haere ana ia ki runga, ki te whare o Ihowa.

21 And they brought seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven he goats, for a sin offering for the kingdom, and for the sanctuary, and for Judah. And he commanded the priests the sons of Aaron to offer them on the altar of Yhwh.

A ka kawea mai e ratou e whitu nga puru, e whitu nga hipi toa, e whitu nga reme, e whitu nga koati toa, hei whakahere hara mo te kingitanga, mo te wahi tapu, a mo Hura. Na whakahaua atu ana e ia kia whakaekea e nga tohunga, e nga tama a Arona ki runga ki te aata a Ihowa.

22 So they killed the bullocks, and the priests received the blood, and sprinkled it on the altar: likewise, when they had killed the rams, they sprinkled the blood upon the altar: they killed also the lambs, and they sprinkled the blood upon the altar.

Heoi patua ana e ratou nga kau, a ka riro nga toto i nga tohunga, tauhiuhia atu ana e ratou ki te aata. I patua ano e ratou nga hipi toa, tauhiuhia atu ana nga toto ki te aata. Patua ana ano e ratou nga reme, a tauhiuhia ana nga toto ki te aata.

23 And they brought forth the he goats for the sin offering before the king and the congregation; and they laid their hands upon them:

Na ka whakatataia mai e ratou nga koati toa hei whakahere hara i te aroaro o te kingi ratou ko te whakaminenga; pokia iho ana o ratou ringa ki runga ki a ratou.

24 And the priests killed them, and they made reconciliation with their blood upon the altar, to make an atonement for all Israel: for the king commanded that the burnt offering and the sin offering should be made for all Israel.

Na ka patua e nga tohunga, whakaherea ana o ratou toto mo nga hara ki runga ki te aata, hei whakamarie mo Iharaira katoa: na te kingi hoki i ki mo Iharaira katoa te tahunga tinana me te whakahere hara.

25 And he set the Levites in the house of Yhwh with cymbals, with psalteries, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, and of Gad the king’s seer, and Nathan the prophet: for so was the commandment of Yhwh by his prophets.

I whakaturia ano e ia nga Riwaiti ki te whare o Ihowa, he himipora a ratou, he hatere, he hapa; ko ta Rawiri hoki ia i whakahau ai, ratou ko Kara matakite a te kingi, ko Natana poropiti: na Ihowa hoki te whakahau, ara na ana poropiti.

26 And the Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.

Tu ana tera nga Riwaiti, me nga mea whakatangi a Rawiri, me nga tohunga ano, mau tetere ana.

27 And Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt offering upon the altar. And when the burnt offering began, the song of Yhwh began also with the trumpets, and with the instruments ordained by David king of Israel.

Na ka whakahau a Hetekia kia whakaekea te tahunga tinana ki runga ki te aata. Na i te wa i timata ai te tahunga tinana, ka timataia ano te waiata a Ihowa, me nga tetere, me nga mea whakatangi a Rawiri kingi o Iharaira.

28 And all the congregation worshipped, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded: and all this continued until the burnt offering was finished.

Na koropiko katoa ana te whakaminenga, waiata ana nga kaiwaiata, whakatangihia ana nga tetere: i mahia katoa tenei a mutu noa te tahunga tinana.

29 And when they had made an end of offering, the king and all that were present with him bowed themselves, and worshipped.

A, no te mutunga o te whakaeke, ka tuohu te kingi me ona hoa katoa i reira, a koropiko ana.

30 Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praise unto Yhwh with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshipped.

I whakahau ano a Kingi Hetekia me nga rangatira ki nga Riwaiti kia whakamoemiti ki a Ihowa; hei nga kupu ano a Rawiri raua ko Ahapa matakite. Na kei te whakamoemiti ratou; me te koa; tuohu ana ratou, koropiko ana ano.

31 Then Hezekiah answered and said, Now ye have consecrated yourselves unto Yhwh, come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into the house of Yhwh. And the congregation brought in sacrifices and thank offerings; and as many as were of a free heart burnt offerings.

Katahi a Hetekia ka oho, ka mea, Na kua whakatapua nei koutou ki a Ihowa, neke mai, kawea mai nga patunga tapu, me nga whakawhetai ki te whare o Ihowa. Na kei te kawe mai te whakaminenga i nga patunga tapu, i nga whakawhetai, a he tahunga tinana ano ta nga ngakau hihiko katoa.

32 And the number of the burnt offerings, which the congregation brought, was threescore and ten bullocks, an hundred rams, and two hundred lambs: all these were for a burnt offering to Yhwh.

Na, ko te maha o nga tahunga tinana i kawea nei e te whakaminenga, e whitu tekau kau, kotahi rau hipi toa, e rua rau reme. Ko enei katoa hei tahunga tinana ki a Ihowa.

33 And the consecrated things were six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep.

Na, ko nga mea i whakatapua, e ono rau kau, e toru mano hipi.

34 But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all the burnt offerings: wherefore their brethren the Levites did help them, till the work was ended, and until the other priests had sanctified themselves: for the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests.

Otiia he torutoru rawa nga tohunga, kihai i kaha ki te tihore i nga tahunga tinana katoa. Na ka pikitia ratou e o ratou teina, e nga Riwaiti, a oti noa te mahi, kia oti ra ano te whakatapu a nga tohunga i a ratou; engari hoki nga Riwaiti i nga t ohunga, i tika o ratou ngakau ki te whakatapu i a ratou.

35 And also the burnt offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace offerings, and the drink offerings for every burnt offering. So the service of the house of Yhwh was set in order.

A he tini nga tahunga tinana, me te ngako o nga whakahere mo te pai, me nga ringihanga ano mo nga tahunga tinana. Heoi kua oti te mahi o te whare o Ihowa te whakatika.

36 And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, that God had prepared the people: for the thing was done suddenly.

Na koa tonu a Hetekia ratou ko te iwi katoa, mo ta te Atua i whakarite ai ma te iwi; he mea oho tata hoki tenei.
