2 Chronicles 31
1 After the festival ended, the Israelis who were there went to all the towns in Judah and smashed the stones/pillars [for worshiping idols], and cut down the poles [for worshiping the goddess] Asherah. They destroyed the shrines on the hilltops and the altars [of Baal] throughout the areas where the tribes of Judah and Benjamin lived, and also in the areas of the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh. After destroying all of them, they returned to their own towns.
A PAU ae la keia mau mea a pau, hele iwaho ka Iseraela a pau i hoakoakoaia ma na kulanakauhale o ka Iuda, a kuipalu iho la i na kii, a oki liilii i na kii no Asetarota. a wawahi i na wahi kiekie, a me na kuahu ma Iuda a pau, a me Beniamina, a me Eperaima no hoi, a me Manase, a pau ae la ia mau mea. Alaila, hoi na mamo a Iseraela a pau, kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona aina hooili, i ko lakou mau kulanakauhale iho.
2 Hezekiah divided the priests and [other] descendants of Levi into groups. He appointed some of the groups to offer sacrifices that would be completely burned [on the altar] and offerings to maintain fellowship [with Yahweh]. He appointed some groups to do other work at the temple: some to lead the people in their worship, some to thank Yahweh, and some to sing songs to praise to Yahweh at the gates of the temple.
A hoonoho o Hezekia i na papa o ka poe kahuna, a me na Levi, e like me ko lakou papa, o kela kanaka keia kanaka e like me kana oihana, i na kahuna a me na Levi ma ka mohaikuni a me na mohai aloha, e lawelawe, a e hoomaikai aku, a e hoolea aku ma na puka o na halelewa o Iehova.
3 The king contributed some of his own funds to buy animals that would be sacrificed in the morning and in the evening of each day, and on the Sabbath days, to celebrate the new moons, and during the other feasts, according to what was written in the laws [that Yahweh gave to Moses].
Hoomaopopo no hoi oia i kauwahi noloko mai o ka waiwai a ke alii, i mau mohaikuni, i mau mohai no ke kakahiaka, a me ke ahiahi; i mau mohai no na Sabati, a no na mahina hou, a no na ahaaina, e like me ka mea i kakauia iloko o ke kanawai o Iehova.
4 Hezekiah told the people living in Jerusalem to give to the priests and the other descendants of Levi the portions [of meat] that should be given to them, in order that they could devote all their time to obeying the laws of Yahweh.
Olelo ia i na kanaka i ka poe i noho ma Ierusalema, e haawi aku i ka haawina o ka poe kahuna, a me na Levi i ikaika lakou ma ke kanawai o Iehova.
5 As soon as he told that to the people, they generously gave the first part of their harvest of grain, and the first part of the new wine [that they produced], and [olive] oil and honey, and of the crops that grew in their fields. They brought [to the temple] a tenth of all their crops.
A hoolahaia keia olelo, hoonui iho la ka poe mamo a Iseraela i ka ohi mua ana o ka ai, a me ka waina, a me ka aila, a me ka meli, a me na mea a pau o ke kihapai i ohiia'i; a lawe nui mai lakou i ka hapaumi o ia mau mea a pau.
6 The men of Israel and Judah who were living in various towns in Judah also brought a tenth of their cattle and sheep and goats, and a tenth of other things that they had dedicated to Yahweh their God, and they piled all those things in heaps.
A o na mamo a Iseraela, a me ka Iuda, ka poe noho ma na kulanakauhale o Iuda, lawe mai lakou i ka hapaumi o na bipi, a me na hipa, a me ka hapaumi o na mea laa i hoolaaia ia Iehova ko lakou Akua, a waiho akoakoa lakou ia mau mea, he puu okoa no, a he puu okoa.
7 They started to do that in May and finished doing it in September.
I ka malama ekolu, hoomaka lakou e hookumu i na puu, a i ka malama ehiku, ua hoopau lakou.
8 When Hezekiah and his officials saw the heaps, they praised Yahweh and [requested God to] bless the people.
Alaila, hiki mai o Hezekia, a me na alii, a ike i na puu, a hoomaikai lakou ia Iehova, a i kona poe kanaka i ka Iseraela.
9 But Hezekiah asked the priests and other descendants of Levi, “Why are these heaps of things here?”
Ninau o Hezekia i na kahuna a me na Levi no na puu.
10 Then Azariah the [Supreme] Priest, a descendant of Zadok, replied, “Since the time that the people started to bring their offerings to the temple, we have had even more food than we need. This has happened because Yahweh has greatly blessed our fellow Israelis, with the result that all this is left over [after we priests and other descendants of Levi took all that we need]!”
Hai mai o Azaria, ke kahuna nui, no ka hale o Zadoka, i mai la, Mai ka hoomaka ana mai e lawe i ka mohai iloko o ka hale o Iehova, he ai no a maona, a koe no ka nui; no ka mea, ua hoomaikai mai o Iehova i kona poe kanaka; a eia ke koena, o keia mea he nui no.
11 Then Hezekiah ordered that they should prepare storerooms in the temple. So they did that.
Alaila, kauoha o Hezekia e hoomakaukau i na keena oluna ma ka hale o Iehova: a hoomakaukau iho la lakou,
12 Then they brought into the storerooms all the tithes and offerings and the things dedicated to Yahweh [which the people had brought]. One of the descendants of Levi whose name was Conaniah was in charge of those things, and his [younger] brother Shimei was his assistant.
A lawe iloko no lakou me ka oiaio i na makana, a me ka hookupu hapaumi, a me na mea i hoolaaia; a o ka luna maluna o keia mau mea oia o Konania ka Levi, a o Simei o kona hoahanau ka lua.
13 Those two men supervised Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismakiah, Mahath and Benaiah while they did the work. They were appointed by King Hezekiah; Azariah was in charge of [everything that was done in] the temple.
A o Iehiela, a me Azaria, a me Nahata, o Asahela a me Iremota, a me Iozabada, o Eliela, a me Isemakia, a o Mahata, a me Benaia oia ka poe luna, malalo iho o Konania, a me Simei, kona hoahanau, ma ke kanawai o Hezekia ke alii, a me Azaria, ka luna o ka hale o ke Akua.
14 Kore the son of Imnah, another descendant of Levi, who guarded the east gate of the temple, was in charge of the offerings to God that were made voluntarily. He distributed to the priests and [other] descendants of Levi the offerings and other things that were dedicated to Yahweh.
A o Kore ke keiki a Imena o ka Levi, ka mea kiai puka ma ka hikina, maluna oia o na makana no ke Akua, e haawi i na makana no Iehova a me na mea i hoolaa loa ia.
15 Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah and Shecaniah faithfully assisted him in the towns where the priests lived. They distributed those things to the groups of their fellow priests; they distributed them to everyone, from the youngest to the oldest.
A mahope ona, o Edena, a me Miniamina, a me Iesua, a me Semaia, a me Amaria, a me Sikania, ma na kulanakauhale o na kahuna, e haawi maopopo na ko lakou poe hoahanau, ma na papa, e like me ka mea nui, pela no ka mea uuku.
16 They also distributed things to the males who were at least 30 years old, those whose names were written on the scrolls where lists of family names were written. They were males who [were allowed to] enter the temple to perform their tasks/work each day, the tasks that each group had been assigned to do.
A okoa ka haawi ana ma ko lakou kuauhau mai ka poe kane o na makahiki ekolu, a maluna ae, a hiki i ka poe a pau i komo iloko o ka hale o Iehova, i wahi mea i kela la keia la, no ko lakou lawelawe ana ma ka lakou mau oihana e like me ko lakou mau papa;
17 The names of the priests were on the scrolls where their clans’ names were written. They also distributed things to groups of [other] descendants of Levi, those who were at least 20 years old.
A me ke kuauhau o na kahuna e like me ko ka hale o ko lakou poe kupuna, a i na Levi, mai ka makahiki iwakalua a oi aku, ma ka lakou mau oihana, a me ko lakou mau papa:
18 They included all their little children and wives and other sons and daughters whose names were on the scrolls where their clans’ names were written, because they also faithfully had dedicated themselves to Yahweh.
A me ke kuauhau o ka lakou poe keiki liilii, a me ka lakou mau wahine, a me ka lakou poe keikikane, a me ka lakou poe kaikamahine, i ka ahakanaka a pau; no ka mea, e like me ka mea mau ia lakou, huikala iho la lakou ia lakou iho:
19 [Hezekiah] also appointed other men to distribute portions of those offerings to the priests and other descendants of Levi who were living in the pasturelands around the towns in Judah. But they gave things only to those who were descendants of Aaron [the first Supreme Priest], whose names were on the scrolls containing the names of their clans.
A i ka poe mamo a Aarona ke kahuna ma na kula, kahi e pili ana i ko lakou mau kulanakauhale, ma kela kulanakauhale, keia kulanakauhale, o na kanaka i kapaia ko lakou mau inoa, e haawi i na makana na ka poe kane a pau o na kahuna, a na na Levi a pau i kuauhauia.
20 That is what Hezekiah did throughout Judah. He always faithfully did things that Yahweh his God considered to be right and good.
Pela i hana'i o Hezekia ma Iuda a pau, hana maikai no ia, a me ka pololei, a me ka oiaio imua o Iehova, kona Akua.
21 In everything that he did for the worship in the temple, and as he obeyed God’s laws and commands, he tried to find out what his God wanted, and he worked energetically. So he was successful.
I na hana a pau ana i hoomaka'i, i mea e hookauwa aku ai na ka hale o ke Akua, a me ke kanawai, a me ke kauoha, e imi aku i kona Akua, me kona naau a pau oia kana i hana'i, a ua kokuaia mai.
