2 Chronicles 29
1 Hezekiah was 25 years old when he became the king [of Judah]. He ruled from Jerusalem for 29 years. His mother was Abijah, the daughter of [a man whose name was] Zechariah.
HOOMAKA iho la o Hezekia e alii i kona makahiki he iwakaluakumamalima, a he iwakaluakumamaiwa makahiki kona noho alii ana ma Ierusalema; a o ka inoa o kona makuwahine, o Abia, ke kaikamahine a Zekaria.
2 Hezekiah did things that Yahweh considered to be right, like his ancestor King David had done.
Hana pololei iho la oia imua i ke alo o Iehova, e like me na mea a pau a Davida kona kupuna i hana'i.
3 During March of the first year that Hezekiah was ruling Judah, he unlocked the doors of the temple, and his workers repaired them.
I ka makahiki mua o kona noho alii ana, a i ka malama mua no hoi, wehe ae la ia i na puka o ka hale o Iehova, a hana hou ia mau mea.
4 Then he gathered the priests and other descendants of Levi in the area on the east side of the temple,
Kii aku ia i na kahuna a me na Levi, a houluulu ia lakou ma ke ala ma ka hikina;
5 and he said to them, “You descendants of Levi, listen to me! Consecrate yourselves. And then consecrate the temple of Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors [worshiped/belonged to]. Remove from the temple all the things that are not pleasing to God.
Olelo aku la oia ia lakou, E hoolohe mai oukou ia'u, e na Levi; ano, e huikala oukou ia oukou iho, a e hoomaemae oukou i ka hale o Iehova ke Akua o ko oukou poe kupuna, a e lawe aku i na mea haumia mai kahi hoano aku.
6 Our ancestors disobeyed God; they did many things that he considered to be evil, things that were not pleasing to him. They abandoned this place where Yahweh lives, and they have turned away from him.
No ka mea, ua lawehala ko kakou poe kupuna, ua hana ino lakou imua i ke alo o Iehova, ko kakou Akua, ua haalele lakou ia ia, ua huli ko lakou maka mai ka halelewa o Iehova aku, a ua haawi mai lakou i ke kua.
7 They locked the doors of the temple and extinguished the lamps. They did not burn any incense, and they did not offer any sacrifices that were to be completely burned [on the altar].
A ua pani lakou i na puka o ka lanai, ua kinai i na kukui, aole lakou i kuni i ka mea ala, aole hoi i mohai aku lakou i kekahi mohai ma kahi hoano o ke Akua o ka Iseraela.
8 Therefore, Yahweh has become very angry with us people of Jerusalem and [other places in] Judah, and he has caused other people to become frightened and horrified [when they hear what Yahweh did to punish us]. And they ridicule us. You know this very well.
No ia mea, ua kauia mai ka huhu o Iehova maluna o ka Iuda, a me ko Ierusalema, a ua haawi oia ia lakou i ka hana ino ia mai, a me ka heneheneia mai, a me ka hoowahawahaia mai, e like me ka mea a ko oukou mau maka i ike iho nei.
9 That is why our fathers have been killed in battles, and our sons and daughters and our wives have been captured and taken [to other countries].
Aia hoi, ua haule ko kakou poe kupuna i ka pahikaua, a o ka kakou poe keiki kane, a me na kaikamahine a kakou, a me na wahine a kakou, he poe pio lakou no keia hewa.
10 But now I intend to make an agreement with Yahweh, our God, in order that he will no longer be angry with us.
Ano, eia no iloko o ko'u naau e hana i berita me Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela, i huli ae kona huhu wela mai o kakou aku.
11 [You who are like] my sons, do not waste any time. [Do immediately what Yahweh wants you to do.] Yahweh has chosen you to stand in his presence and offer sacrifices and burn incense.”
Ano, e ka'u poe keiki, mai lalau oukou; no ka mea, ua wae mai o Iehova ia oukou e ku imua ona e hookauwa nana, a e lawelawe i kana mau oihana, a e kuni i ka mea ala.
12 Then these descendants of Levi started to work [in the temple]: From the descendants of Kohath there were Mahath the son of Amasai, and Joel the son of Azariah. From the descendants of Merari there were Kish the son of Abdi, and Azariah the son of Jehallelel. From the descendants of Gershon there were Joah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joah.
Alaila, ku ae la iluna na Levi, o Mahata, ke keiki a Amasai, a me Ioela, ke keiki a Azaria, no ka poe mamo a Kohata; a no ka poe mamo a Merari, o Kisa ke keiki a Abedi, a me Azaria ke keiki a Iehalelela; a o ka poe mamo a Geresoma, o Ioa ke keiki a Zima, a o Edena ke keiki a Ioa;
13 From the descendants of Elizaphan there were Shimri and Jeiel. From the descendants of Asaph there were Zechariah and Mattaniah.
A no ka poe mamo a Elizapana, o Simeri, a me Ieila; a no ka poe mamo a Asapa, o Zekaria, a me Matania;
14 From the descendants of Heman there were Jehiel and Shimei. From the descendants of Jeduthun there were Shemaiah and Uzziel.
A no ka poe mamo a Hemana, o Iehiela, a me Simei; a no ka poe mamo a Iedutuna, o Semaia a me Uziela.
15 When those men had gathered their fellow descendants of Levi and had consecrated themselves, they entered the temple in order to consecrate it. That was what the king had commanded them to do, and they were also obeying what Yahweh had commanded.
A houluulu lakou i ko lakou poe hoahanau, a huikala ia lakou iho, a hele mai e like me ke kauoha a ke alii, a me ka olelo a Iehova, e hoomaemae i ka hale o Iehova.
16 The priests entered the temple to consecrate it. They brought out into the courtyard of the temple everything that they had found in the temple that was not pleasing to Yahweh. Then the descendants of Levi took those things down to the Kidron Valley [and burned them there].
A komo na kahuna iloko lilo o ka hale o Iehova e hoomaemae, a lawe lakou iwaho i na mea maemae ole a pau i loaa ia lakou ma ka luakini o Iehova, a waiho ma ke kahua o ka hale o Iehova. A lawe ka poe mamo a Levi ia mau mea, a hali aku i ke kahawai o Kiderona.
17 The priests and other descendants of Levi started this work on the first day of March and finished purifying the courtyard [of the temple] on the eighth day of that month, and they finished purifying the temple one week later.
Hoomaka lakou e hoomaemae i ka la mua o ka malama mua, a i ka la ewalu o ua malama la ua hiki lakou i ka lanai o Iehova; pela i hoomaemae ai lakou i ka hale o Iehova i na la ewalu, a i ka la umikumamaono o ka malama mua, hoopau ae la lakou.
18 Then they went to King Hezekiah and reported, “We have purified all parts of the temple, and the altar where sacrifices are completely burned, and all the items used at the altar, the table on which the priests place the sacred bread, and the things [used at that table].
A komo lakou iloko io Hezekia la, ke alii, a olelo aku la ia ia, Ua hoomaemae makou i ka hale o Iehova a pau, a me ke kuahu mohai, a me ko laila mau kiaha a pau, a me ka papa berena hoike, a me ko laila mau kiaha a pau.
19 While Ahaz was our king, he disobeyed what Yahweh had commanded, and he removed from the temple many things [that should be there], but now we have brought them back and placed them in front of the sacred altar.”
A me na kiaha a pau a ke alii a Ahaza i kiola aku ai, i kona lawehala ana i kona wa i noho alii ai, hoomakaukau makou, a hoomaemae no hoi, aia hoi ia mau mea imua o ke kuahu o Iehova.
20 Early the next morning, King Hezekiah gathered together the city officials, and they went to the [courtyard of the] temple.
A kakahiaka nui ala ae la o Hezekia, ke alii, a houluulu i na alii o ke kulanakauhale, a pii aku i ka hale o Iehova.
21 They took with them seven bulls, seven rams, seven male lambs, and seven male goats to be an offering in order that Yahweh would forgive the sins of all the people in the kingdom of Judah, and in order to purify the temple. The king commanded that the priests, who were descendants of Aaron, should offer those animals to be sacrificed to Yahweh on the altar.
A lawe mai lakou i ehiku bipi kane, a me na hipa keiki ehiku, a me na kao kane ehiku, i mohaihala no ke aupuni, a no ke keenakapu, a no ka Iuda; a kauoha aku la ia i na mamo a Aarona, i na kahuna, e mohai aku ia mau mea maluna o ke kuahu o Iehova.
22 So first the priests slaughtered those bulls, and took their blood and sprinkled it on the altar. Then they slaughtered the rams and sprinkled their blood on the altar. Then they slaughtered the lambs and sprinkled their blood on the altar.
A pepehi iho la lakou i na bipi, a lawe na kahuna i ke koko, a kapipi iho la maluna o ke kuahu; a pepehi no hoi lakou i na hipa kane, a kapipi iho la i ke koko maluna o ke kuahu; a pepehi lakou i na hipa keiki no hoi, a kapipi iho la i ke koko maluna o ke kuahu.
23 The goats that were slaughtered to be an offering in order that Yahweh would forgive the sins of the people were brought to the king and the others who were there. Then the king and those who were present laid their hands on those goats.
A kai mai la lakou i na kao kane i mohaihala imua o ke alii, a me ka ahakanaka; a kau lakou i ko lakou mau lima maluna o ia mau mea:
24 Then the priests slaughtered those goats and splashed their blood on the altar in order that Yahweh would forgive the sins that all the Israeli people had committed. The priests did that because the king had commanded that offerings that would be completely burned [on the altar] and other sacrifices should be made for all the people of Israel.
A pepehi na kahuna ia mau mea, a mohai aku i ko lakou koko maluna o ke kuahu, i mea e uhi ai i ka hala no ka Iseraela a pau; no ka mea, no ka Iseraela a pau i kauoha ai ke alii i ka mohaikuni a me ka mohaihala.
25 The king then told the descendants of Levi to stand in the temple with their cymbals and harps and lyres, obeying what David and his prophets Gad and Nathan had commanded. Those were things that Yahweh had told his prophets that the descendants of Levi should do.
A hoonoho iho la oia i na Levi iloko o ka hale o Iehova me na kimebala, a me na pesaletera, a me na mea kani, e like me ke kauoha a Davida, a me Gada ke kumu a ke alii, a me Natana ke kaula: no ka mea, pela ke kauoha a Iehova ma na kaula.
26 So the descendants of Levi [went and] stood in the temple, ready to play the musical instruments that King David had given to them. And the priests were ready to blow their trumpets.
A ku ae la iluna na Levi me na mea kani a Davida, a o na kahuna kekahi me na pu.
27 Then Hezekiah told some of the priests to burn the animals that would be sacrificed on the altar. When they started to burn the animals, the people started to sing to [praise] Yahweh, while the other descendants of Levi were playing their instruments.
Alaila, kauoha o Hezekia e mohai aku i ka mohai maluna o ke kuahu; a i ka wa i hoomaka ai lakou e mohai aku, hoomaka no hoi ka himeni o Iehova me na pu a me na mea kani, a Davida ke alii o ka Iseraela.
28 All the people who were there bowed to worship Yahweh, while the singers sang and the trumpeters blew their trumpets. They continued to do this until they had finished slaughtering all the animals that would be completely burned.
A o ka ahakanaka a pau loa, kulou iho la lakou, a himeni aku ka poe himeni, puhi no hoi ka poe puhi pu; a hana pela a pau ka mohai ana.
29 When they finished making those offerings, the king and all those who were there knelt down and worshiped Yahweh.
A pau ae la ka mohai ana, kulou iho la ke alii, a me ka poe malaila pu me ia a pau, a hoomana aku la.
30 Then King Hezekiah and his officials commanded the descendants of Levi to praise Yahweh, singing the songs [composed/written] by David and Asaph the prophet. So they sang songs joyfully and bowed their heads to worship.
Alaila, kauoha ae la o Hezekia ke alii, a me na kaukaualii i na Levi, e hoomaikai aku ia Iehova ma na olelo a Davida, a me Asapa ke kaula. A hoomaikai aku lakou me ka olioli, kulou iho la, a hoomana aku la.
31 Then Hezekiah said, “You have now dedicated yourselves to Yahweh. So come close to the temple and bring animals to be sacrificed and other offerings to thank [Yahweh for what he has done for you].” And those who wanted to bring animals to be completely burned [on the altar] brought them.
Olelo mai la o Hezekia, i mai la, Ano, ua hoolaa oukou ia oukou iho no Iehova, e hele mai, a e lawe mai i na mohai, a me na mohai aloha i ka hale o Iehova. A lawe mai ka ahakanaka i na alana, a me na mohai aloha; a o ka poe a pau i makemake ka naau, lawe mai lakou i na mohaikuni.
32 Altogether they brought 70 bulls, 100 rams, and 200 male lambs to be completely burned on the altar.
O na mohaikuni ma ka helu ana, a ka ahakanaka i lawe mai ai, he kanahiku bipi, hookahi haneri hipa kane, a elua haneri hipa keiki: no ka mohaikuni ia Iehova keia mau mea a pau loa.
33 The other animals that they brought were 600 bulls and 3,000 sheep and goats that were set apart to be sacrifices.
A o na mea i hoolaaia, eono haneri bipi, a ekolu tausani hipa.
34 But there were not enough priests to remove the skins from the animals that would be completely burned [on the altar]. So their fellow descendants of Levi helped them until that work was finished, and until other priests had purified/consecrated themselves to do that work. It was necessary for them to do that because many of the priests had not yet performed the rituals to consecrate themselves for that work, like the descendants of Levi had done.
Aka, aole i nui ka poe kahuna, aole hiki ia lakou wale no ke pepehi i na mohaikuni a pau: no ia mea, kokua mai ko lakou poe hoahanau, o na Levi, a hiki i ka pau ana o ka hana, a i ka wa hoi i huikala mai ai ka poe kahuna ia lakou iho; no ka mea, ua oi aku ka pololei o ka naau o na Levi e huikala ia lakou iho mamua o na kahuna.
35 In addition to the all the offerings that were completely burned [on the altar], the priests also burned the fat of the other animals that were sacrificed to maintain good fellowship with Yahweh, and the usual wine offerings. So the worship at the temple began again.
Ua nui loa no hoi na mohaikuni me ka momona o na mohai aloha, a me na mohai inu, no kela mohaikuni, keia mohaikuni. Pela i hooponoponoia'i na oihana o ka hale o Iehova.
36 And Hezekiah and all the other people of Judah celebrated, because God had enabled them to do all those things very quickly.
A hauoli o Hezekia a me na kanaka a pau i ko ke Akua hoomakaukau ana i na kanaka; no ka mea, hiki wawe no ka hana.
