2 Chronicles 31
1 Now when all this was finished, all Israel who were present went out to the cities of Judah, and broke in pieces the pillars, and cut down the Asherim, and broke down the high places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim also and Manasseh, until they had destroyed them all. Then all the children of Israel returned, every man to his possession, into their own cities.
Rĩrĩa maũndũ macio mothe maathirire-rĩ, andũ a Isiraeli arĩa maarĩ hau makiumagara magĩthiĩ matũũra-inĩ ma Juda, makĩhehenja mahiga marĩa mamũrĩirwo ngai cia mĩhianano na magĩtemanga itugĩ cia Ashera. Ningĩ makĩananga kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru kwahooyagĩrwo o na igongona iria ciarĩ Juda guothe na Benjamini, o na kũu Efiraimu na Manase. Thuutha wa gũcithũkangia ciothe, andũ a Isiraeli magĩcooka matũũra-inĩ mao na o mũndũ agĩcooka igai-inĩ rĩake.
2 Hezekiah appointed the divisions of the priests and the Levites after their divisions, every man according to his service, both the priests and the Levites, for burnt offerings and for peace offerings, to minister, and to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the camp of YHWH.
Hezekia agĩkĩiga athĩnjĩri-Ngai na Alawii na ikundi, o gĩkundi kũringana na wĩra wakĩo, marĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai kana Alawii, marutage maruta ma njino na ma ũiguano, ningĩ matungatage, na macookagie ngaatho, na mainage nyĩmbo cia ũgooci marĩ ihingo-inĩ cia gĩikaro kĩa Jehova.
3 He appointed also the king's portion of his substance for the burnt offerings, for the morning and evening burnt offerings, and the burnt offerings for the Sabbaths, and for the new moons, and for the set feasts, as it is written in the law of YHWH.
Mũthamaki nĩaheanire indo ciake mwene cia kũrutagwo maruta ma njino ma rũciinĩ na ma hwaĩ-inĩ, na maruta ma njino ma Thabatũ, na ma Tũrũgamo twa Mweri, na ma ciathĩ-inĩ iria ciatuĩtwo, o ta ũrĩa kwaandĩkĩtwo Watho-inĩ wa Jehova.
4 Moreover he commanded the people who lived in Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might give themselves to the law of YHWH.
Agĩatha andũ arĩa maatũũraga Jerusalemu maheage athĩnjĩri-Ngai na Alawii rwĩga rũrĩa rwamagĩrĩire, nĩgeetha nao mahotage kwĩheana harĩ Watho wa Jehova.
5 As soon as the commandment came abroad, the children of Israel gave in abundance the first fruits of grain, new wine, and oil, and honey, and of all the increase of the field; and the tithe of all things brought they in abundantly.
Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa watho ũcio wamenyekire-rĩ, andũ a Isiraeli makĩheana na ũtaana maciaro mao ma mbere ma ngano, na ma ndibei ya mũhihano, na maguta, na ũũkĩ, na maciaro ma mĩgũnda yao. Makĩrehe indo nyingĩ mũno o na gĩcunjĩ gĩa ikũmi kĩa indo ciothe.
6 The children of Israel and Judah, who lived in the cities of Judah, they also brought in the tithe of cattle and sheep, and the tithe of dedicated things which were consecrated to YHWH their God, and laid them by heaps.
Nao andũ a Isiraeli na Juda arĩa maatũũraga matũũra-inĩ ma Juda o nao makĩrehe gĩcunjĩ gĩa ikũmi kĩa ndũũru ciao cia ngʼombe na ngʼondu, o na gĩcunjĩ gĩa ikũmi kĩa indo iria ciamũrĩirwo Jehova Ngai wao, nao magĩciiga irũndo.
7 In the third month they began to lay the foundation of the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month.
Maambĩrĩirie gwĩka ũndũ ũyũ mweri wa ĩtatũ na makĩrĩkia mweri wa mũgwanja.
8 And when Hezekiah and the leaders came and saw the heaps, they blessed YHWH, and his people Israel.
Rĩrĩa Hezekia na anene ake mookire na makĩona irũndo icio, makĩgooca Jehova na makĩrathima andũ ake a Isiraeli.
9 Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps.
Hezekia akĩũria athĩnjĩri-Ngai na Alawii ũhoro wa irũndo icio;
10 Azariah the chief priest, of the house of Zadok, answered him and said, "Since people began to bring the offerings into the house of YHWH, we have eaten and had enough, and have left plenty: for YHWH has blessed his people; and that which is left is this great store."
nake Azaria mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene wa kuuma nyũmba ya Zadoku akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Kuuma andũ maambĩrĩria kũrehe mĩhothi yao hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova-rĩ, nĩtũkoretwo tũrĩ na irio cia kũigana kũrĩa, o na tũgatigia nyingĩ mũno, nĩ ũndũ Jehova nĩarathimĩte andũ ake, na irio ici nyingĩ ũũ igagĩtigara.”
11 Then Hezekiah commanded them to prepare rooms in the house of YHWH; and they prepared them.
Hezekia agĩathana gwakwo makũmbĩ kũu thĩinĩ wa hekarũ ya Jehova, na gũgĩĩkwo ũguo.
12 They brought in the offerings and the tithes and the dedicated things faithfully: and over them Conaniah the Levite was ruler, and Shimei his brother was second.
Nao magĩcooka makĩrehe mĩhothi na wĩhokeku, na icunjĩ cia ikũmi, na iheo iria nyamũre. Konania ũrĩa Mũlawii nĩwe watuirwo mũrori wa indo icio, nake mũrũ wa ithe Shimei nĩwe warĩ mũnini wake.
13 Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath, and Asahel, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Ismakiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah, were overseers under the hand of Conaniah and Shimei his brother, by the appointment of Hezekiah the king, and Azariah the ruler of God's house.
Jehieli, na Azazia, na Nahathu, na Asaheli, na Jerimothu, na Jozabadu, na Elieli, na Isimakia, na Mahathu, na Benaia nĩo maarĩ arũgamĩrĩri rungu rwa Konania na mũrũ wa ithe Shimei, ta ũrĩa gwatuĩtwo nĩ Mũthamaki Hezekia na Azaria ũrĩa warĩ mũnene wa hekarũ ya Ngai.
14 Kore the son of Jimnah the Levite, the keeper of the east gate, was over the freewill offerings of God, to distribute the offerings of YHWH, and the most holy things.
Kore mũrũ wa Imuna ũrĩa Mũlawii, mũikaria wa Kĩhingo kĩa Mwena wa Irathĩro, nĩwe warĩ mũrori wa indo iria ciarutagĩrwo Ngai na kwĩyendera, akagayaga mĩhothi ĩrĩa ĩrutĩirwo Jehova hamwe na iheo iria nyamũre.
15 Under him were Eden, and Miniamin, and Jeshua, and Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, alongside the priests, to faithfully make disbursements to their brothers by divisions, as well to the great as to the small:
Edeni, na Miniamini, na Jeshua, na Shemaia, na Amaria, na Shekania nĩo maamũteithagĩrĩria marĩ na wĩhokeku kũu matũũra-inĩ ma athĩnjĩri-Ngai, na makagayagĩra athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa angĩ o ta ũrĩa ikundi ciao ciatariĩ, makagaĩra arĩa akũrũ na arĩa anini o ũndũ ũmwe.
16 besides those who were reckoned by genealogy of males, from three years old and upward, even everyone who entered into the house of YHWH, as the duty of every day required, for their service in their offices according to their divisions.
Hamwe na ũguo makĩgaĩra arũme arĩa maarĩ na mĩaka ĩtatũ na makĩria arĩa marĩĩtwa mao maarĩ maandĩko-inĩ ma njiarwa, nao nĩo andũ arĩa othe maangĩatoonyire hekarũ-nĩ ya Jehova nĩ ũndũ wa kũruta mawĩra mao ma o mũthenya, ta ũrĩa wĩra wa o mũndũ watariĩ na kũringana na ikundi ciao.
17 This is the enrollment of the priests by their fathers' houses, and the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in their offices by their divisions;
Nao makĩgaĩra athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa maandĩkithĩtio nĩ andũ a nyũmba ciao maandĩko-inĩ ma njiarwa ciao, o na Alawii arĩa maarĩ na mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na makĩria, ta ũrĩa wĩra wa o mũndũ watariĩ na kũringana na ikundi ciao.
18 and those who were reckoned by genealogy of all their little ones, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, through all the congregation: for in their office of trust they sanctified themselves in holiness.
Maataranĩirie ciana ciothe, na atumia, na ariũ ao, na airĩtu a mũingĩ wothe ũrĩa waandĩkĩtwo maandĩko-inĩ ma njiarwa. Nĩgũkorwo maarĩ ehokeku ũhoro-inĩ wao wa gwĩtheria.
19 Also for the descendants of Aaron the priests, who were in the fields of the suburbs of their cities, in every city, there were men who were mentioned by name, to give portions to all the males among the priests, and to all who were reckoned by genealogy among the Levites.
Ha ũhoro wa athĩnjĩri-Ngai, o acio a rũciaro rwa Harũni, arĩa maatũũraga mĩgũnda-inĩ ĩrĩa yathiũrũrũkĩirie matũũra mao kana matũũra mangĩ, nĩ kwarĩ na andũ amwe maathuurĩtwo na makagwetwo marĩĩtwa a kũgaĩra arũme othe arĩa maarĩ gatagatĩ-inĩ kao rũgai rwao, na kũrĩ arĩa othe maandĩkĩtwo maandĩko-inĩ ma njiarwa cia Alawii.
20 Hezekiah did so throughout all Judah; and he worked that which was good and right and faithful before YHWH his God.
Ũguo nĩguo Hezekia eekire Juda guothe, agĩĩka maũndũ mega, na magĩrĩire na ma kwĩhokeka mbere ya Jehova Ngai wake.
21 In every work that he began in the service of God's house, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart, and prospered.
Maũndũ-inĩ mothe marĩa ekaga ma gũtungata hekarũ-inĩ ya Ngai, na harĩ gwathĩkĩra watho na maathani, nĩarongooragia Ngai wake na akĩruta wĩra na ngoro yake yothe. Na nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩgaacĩra.
