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.
Hesekiah sì jẹ́ ẹni ọdún mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dọ́gbọ̀n nígbà tí ó di ọba, ó sì jẹ ọba ní Jerusalẹmu fún ọdún mọ́kàndínlọ́gbọ̀n orúkọ ìyá rẹ̀ sì ni Abijah ọmọbìnrin Sekariah.
2 Hezekiah did things that Yahweh considered to be right, like his ancestor King David had done.
Ó sì ṣe ohun tí ó tọ́ ní ojú Olúwa, gẹ́gẹ́ bí baba rẹ̀ Dafidi ti ṣe.
3 During March of the first year that Hezekiah was ruling Judah, he unlocked the doors of the temple, and his workers repaired them.
Ní oṣù àkọ́kọ́ ní ọdún kìn-ín-ní ìjọba rẹ̀, ó sì ṣí àwọn ìlẹ̀kùn ilé Olúwa ó sì tún wọn ṣe.
4 Then he gathered the priests and other descendants of Levi in the area on the east side of the temple,
Ó sì mú àwọn àlùfáà wá àti àwọn ọmọ Lefi, ó sì kó wọn jọ yíká ìta ìlà-oòrùn.
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.
Ó sì wí pé, “Ẹ gbọ́ tèmi, ẹ̀yin ọmọ Lefi! Ẹ ya ara yín sí mímọ́ nísinsin yìí kí ẹ sì ya ilé Olúwa Ọlọ́run sí mímọ́, kí ẹ sì kó ohun àìmọ́ baba mi jáde kúrò ní ibi mímọ́.
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.
Àwọn baba wa jẹ́ aláìṣòótọ́; wọ́n sì ṣe ohun àìtọ́ níwájú Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa, wọ́n sì kọ̀ ọ́ sílẹ̀. Wọ́n sì yí ojú wọn padà kúrò ní ibùgbé Olúwa, wọ́n sì pa ẹ̀yìn wọn dà sí i.
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].
Wọ́n sì tún ti ìlẹ̀kùn ìloro náà pẹ̀lú, wọ́n sì pa fìtílà. Wọn kò sì sun tùràrí tàbí pèsè ẹbọ sísun si ibi mímọ́ si Ọlọ́run Israẹli.
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.
Nítorí náà, ìbínú Olúwa ti ru sókè wá sórí Juda àti Jerusalẹmu ó sì ti fi wọ́n ṣe ohun èlò fún wàhálà, àti ìdààmú àti ẹ̀sín, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti ṣe fi ojú rẹ̀ rí i.
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].
Ìdí nìyí tí àwọn baba wa ṣe ṣubú nípa idà àti ìdí tí àwọn ọmọkùnrin àti ọmọbìnrin àti àwọn aya wa tiwọn kó wọ́n ní ìgbèkùn.
10 But now I intend to make an agreement with Yahweh, our God, in order that he will no longer be angry with us.
Nísinsin yìí ó wà ní ọkàn mi láti bá Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli dá májẹ̀mú. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kí ìbínú rẹ̀ kíkan kí ó lè yípadà kúrò lọ́dọ̀ wa.
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.”
Àwọn ọmọ mi, ẹ má ṣe jáfara nísinsin yìí, nítorí tí Olúwa ti yàn yín láti dúró níwájú rẹ̀ láti sin, kí ẹ sì máa ṣe ìránṣẹ́ níwájú rẹ̀ àti láti sun tùràrí.”
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.
Nígbà náà àwọn ọmọ Lefi wọ̀nyí múra láti ṣe iṣẹ́: nínú àwọn ọmọ Kohati, Mahati ọmọ Amasai: àti Joẹli ọmọ Asariah; nínú àwọn ọmọ Merari, Kiṣi ọmọ Abdi àti Asariah ọmọ Jehaleeli; nínú àwọn ọmọ Gerṣoni, Joah, ọmọ Simma àti Edeni ọmọ Joah;
13 From the descendants of Elizaphan there were Shimri and Jeiel. From the descendants of Asaph there were Zechariah and Mattaniah.
nínú àwọn ọmọ Elisafani, Ṣimri àti Jeieli; nínú àwọn ọmọ Asafu, Sekariah àti Mattaniah;
14 From the descendants of Heman there were Jehiel and Shimei. From the descendants of Jeduthun there were Shemaiah and Uzziel.
nínú àwọn ọmọ Hemani, Jehieli àti Ṣimei; nínú àwọn ọmọ Jedutuni, Ṣemaiah àti Usieli.
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.
Nígbà tí wọ́n sì ti kó ara wọn jọ pọ̀ pẹ̀lú àwọn arákùnrin wọn, wọ́n sì ya ara wọn sí mímọ́, wọ́n sì lọ láti gbá ilé Olúwa mọ́, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọba ti pa á láṣẹ, ẹ tẹ̀lé ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa.
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].
Àwọn àlùfáà sì wọ inú ilé Olúwa lọ́hùn ún lọ láti gbá a mọ́. Wọ́n sì gbé e jáde sí inú àgbàlá ilé Olúwa gbogbo ohun àìmọ́ tí wọ́n rí nínú ilé Olúwa. Àwọn ọmọ Lefi sì mú u wọ́n sì gbangba odò Kidironi.
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.
Wọ́n sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ ìyàsímímọ́ ní ọjọ́ kìn-ín-ní oṣù kìn-ín-ní, àti ní ọjọ́ kẹjọ oṣù náà wọ́n sì dé ìloro Olúwa. Fún ọjọ́ mẹ́jọ mìíràn sí i, wọ́n sì ya ilé Olúwa sí mímọ́ fúnra rẹ̀. Wọ́n sì parí ní ọjọ́ kẹrìndínlógún oṣù kìn-ín-ní.
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].
Nígbà náà wọn sì lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ ọba Hesekiah láti lọ jábọ̀ fún un: “Àwa ti gbá ilé Olúwa mọ́, pẹpẹ ẹbọ sísun pẹ̀lú gbogbo ohun ẹbọ rẹ̀, àti tábìlì àkàrà ìfihàn, pẹ̀lú gbogbo ohun èlò.
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 ti pèsè a sì ti yà sí mímọ́ gbogbo ohun èlò tí ọba Ahasi ti sọ di aláìmọ́ nínú àìṣòótọ́ rẹ̀ nígbà tí ó jẹ́ ọba; nísinsin yìí, wọ́n wà níwájú pẹpẹ Olúwa.”
20 Early the next morning, King Hezekiah gathered together the city officials, and they went to the [courtyard of the] temple.
Ní kùtùkùtù òwúrọ̀ ọjọ́ kejì, ọba Hesekiah sì kó olórí àwọn ìjòyè jọ, ó sì lọ sókè ilé Olúwa.
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.
Wọ́n sì mú akọ màlúù méje wá, àti àgbò méje, àti ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn méje àti òbúkọ méje gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹbọ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ fún ìjọba, fún ibi mímọ́ àti fún Juda. Ọba pàṣẹ fun àwọn àlùfáà, àwọn ọmọ Aaroni, láti ṣe èyí lórí pẹpẹ Olúwa.
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.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n sì pa akọ màlúù, àwọn àlùfáà mú ẹ̀jẹ̀ náà, wọ́n sì fi wọ́n ara pẹpẹ. Bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ ni nígbà tí wọ́n pa àgbò, wọ́n sì fi ẹ̀jẹ̀ wọ́n orí pẹpẹ. Nígbà náà wọ́n sì pa ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn, wọ́n sì fi ẹ̀jẹ̀ wọn ara pẹpẹ.
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.
Òbúkọ fún ẹbọ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ni wọ́n gbé wá síwájú ọba àti ìjọ ènìyàn, wọ́n sì gbé ọwọ́ lé wọn.
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.
Àwọn àlùfáà wọn sì pa òbúkọ, wọ́n sì gbé ẹ̀jẹ̀ kalẹ̀ lórí pẹpẹ fún ẹbọ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ láti ṣe ètùtù fún gbogbo Israẹli, nítorí ọba ti pàṣẹ kí a ṣe ẹbọ sísun àti ẹbọ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ fún gbogbo Israẹli.
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.
Ó sì mú àwọn Lefi dúró nínú ilé Olúwa pẹ̀lú Kimbali, ohun èlò orin olókùn àti dùùrù ní ọ̀nà tí a ti paláṣẹ fún wọn láti ọ̀dọ̀ Dafidi àti Gadi aríran ọba àti Natani wòlíì. Èyí ni a pàṣẹ láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa láti ọwọ́ àwọn wòlíì rẹ̀.
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.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn ọmọ Lefi sì dúró pẹ̀lú ohun èlò orin Dafidi, àti àwọn àlùfáà pẹ̀lú ìpè wọn.
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.
Hesekiah sì pa á láṣẹ láti rú ẹbọ sísun lórí pẹpẹ, bí ẹbọ sísun náà ti bẹ̀rẹ̀, orin sí Olúwa bẹ̀rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ìpè àti pẹ̀lú ohun èlò orin Dafidi ọba Israẹli.
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.
Gbogbo ìjọ ènìyàn náà sì wólẹ̀ sìn, àwọn akọrin kọrin, àwọn afùnpè sì fọn ìpè, gbogbo wọ̀nyí sì wà bẹ́ẹ̀ títí ẹbọ sísun náà fi parí tán.
29 When they finished making those offerings, the king and all those who were there knelt down and worshiped Yahweh.
Nígbà tí wọ́n sì ṣe ìparí ẹbọ rírú, ọba àti gbogbo àwọn tí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ tẹ ara wọn ba, wọ́n sì sìn.
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.
Pẹ̀lúpẹ̀lú Hesekiah ọba, àti àwọn ìjòyè pàṣẹ fún àwọn ọmọ Lefi, láti fi ọ̀rọ̀ Dafidi àti ti Asafu aríran, kọrin ìyìn sí Olúwa: wọ́n sì fi inú dídùn kọrin ìyìn, wọ́n sì tẹrí wọn ba, wọ́n sì sìn.
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.
Nígbà náà ni Hesekiah dáhùn, ó sì wí pé, nísinsin yìí, ọwọ́ yín kún fún ẹ̀bùn fún Olúwa, ẹ súnmọ́ ìhín, kí ẹ sì mú ẹbọ àti ọrẹ-ọpẹ́ wá sínú ilé Olúwa. Ìjọ ènìyàn sì mú ẹbọ àti ọrẹ-ọpẹ́ wá; àti olúkúlùkù tí ọkàn rẹ̀ fẹ́, mú ẹbọ sísun wá.
32 Altogether they brought 70 bulls, 100 rams, and 200 male lambs to be completely burned on the altar.
Iye ẹbọ sísun, tí ìjọ ènìyàn mú wá, sì jẹ́ àádọ́rin akọ màlúù, àti ọgọ́rùn-ún àgbò, àti igba ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn, gbogbo wọ̀nyí sì ni fún ẹbọ sísun sí Olúwa.
33 The other animals that they brought were 600 bulls and 3,000 sheep and goats that were set apart to be sacrifices.
Àwọn ohun ìyàsímímọ́ sì jẹ́ ẹgbẹ̀ta màlúù, àti ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́ta àgùntàn.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn àlùfáà kò pọ̀ tó, wọn kò sì le bó gbogbo àwọn ẹran ẹbọ sísun náà: nítorí náà àwọn arákùnrin wọn, àwọn Lefi ràn wọ́n lọ́wọ́, títí iṣẹ́ náà fi parí, àti títí àwọn àlùfáà ìyókù fi yà wọ́n sí mímọ́: nítorí àwọn ọmọ Lefi ṣe olóòtítọ́ ní ọkàn ju àwọn àlùfáà lọ láti ya ara wọn sí mímọ́.
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.
Àti pẹ̀lú, àwọn ẹbọ sísun pàpọ̀jù, pẹ̀lú ọ̀rá ẹbọ àlàáfíà, pẹ̀lú ẹbọ ohun mímu fún ẹbọ sísun. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a sì tún bẹ̀rẹ̀ iṣẹ́ ìsìn ilé Olúwa.
36 And Hezekiah and all the other people of Judah celebrated, because God had enabled them to do all those things very quickly.
Hesekiah sì yọ̀, àti gbogbo ènìyàn pé, Ọlọ́run ti múra àwọn ènìyàn náà sílẹ̀, nítorí lójijì ni a ṣe nǹkan náà.
