Chronicles II 31
1 And when all these things were finished, all Israel that were found in the cities of Juda went out, and broke in pieces the pillars, and cut down the groves, and tore down the high places and the altars out of all Judea and Benjamin, also of Ephraim and Manasse, till they made an end: and all Israel returned, every one to his inheritance, and to their 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 Ezekias appointed the courses of the priests and the Levites, and the courses of each one according to his ministry, to the priests and to the Levites, for the whole burnt offering, and for the peace-offering, and to praise, and to give thanks, and to minister in the gates, [and] in the courts of the house 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 proportion out of his substance [was appointed] for the whole burnt offerings, the morning and the evening one, and the whole burnt offerings for the sabbaths, and for the new moons, and for the feasts that were ordered in the law of the Lord.
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 And they told the people who lived in Jerusalem, to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might be strong in the ministry of the house 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 And as he gave the command, Israel brought abundantly first fruits of corn, and wine, and oil, and honey, and every fruit of the field: and the children of Israel and Juda brought tithes of everything abundantly.
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 And they that lived in the cities of Juda themselves also brought tithes of calves and sheep, and tithes of goats, and consecrated them to the Lord their God, and they brought them and laid them in 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 the heaps began to be piled, and in the seventh month they were finished.
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 Ezekias and the princes came and saw the heaps, and blessed the Lord, and his people 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 Then Ezekias enquired of the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps.
Katahi ka uia nga tohunga me nga Riwaiti e Hetekia mo nga puranga.
10 And Azarias the priest, the chief over the house of Sadoc, spoke to him, and said, From the time that the first fruits began to be brought into the house of the Lord, we have eaten and drunk, and left even abundantly; for the Lord has blessed his people, and we have left to this amount.
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 And Ezekias told them yet farther to prepare chambers for the house of the Lord; and they prepared [them],
Katahi a Hetekia ka ki kia whakapaia etahi ruma ki te whare o Ihowa. Na ka whakapaia
12 and they brought there the first fruits and the tithes faithfully: and Chonenias the Levite was superintendent over them, and Semei his brother was next.
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 Jeiel, and Ozias, and Naeth, and Asael, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Samachia, and Maath, and Banaias, and his sons, were appointed by Chonenias and Semei his brother, as Ezekias the king, and Azarias who was over the house of the Lord commanded.
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 And Core, the [son] of Jemna the Levite, the porter eastward, [was] over the gifts, to distribute the first fruits of the Lord, and the most holy things,
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 by the hand of Odom, and Benjamin, and Jesus, and Semei, and Amarias, and Sechonias, by the hand of the priests faithfully, to give to their brethren according to the courses, as well to great as small;
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 increase of males from three years old and upward, to every one entering into the house of the Lord, [a portion] according to a daily rate, for service in the daily courses of their order.
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 This [is] the distribution of the priests according to the houses of their families; and the Levites in their daily courses from twenty years old and upward [were] in [their] order,
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 to assign stations for all the increase of their sons and their daughters, for the whole number: for they faithfully sanctified the holy place.
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 As for the sons of Aaron that executed the priests' office, —even those from their cities the men in each several city who were named expressly, —[were appointed] to give a portion to every male among the priests, and to every one reckoned among 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 And Ezekias did so through all Juda, and did that which was good and right 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 And in every work which he began in service in the house of the Lord, and in the law, and in the ordinances, he sought his God with all his soul, and wrought, 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.
