2 Chronicles 31
1 Now when all this was finished, all Israel who were present went out to the cities of Judah and broke the pillars in pieces, cut down the Asherah poles, and broke down the high places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, also in Ephraim and Manasseh, until they had destroyed them all. Then all the children of Israel returned, every man to his possession, into their own cities.
Mgbe ihe niile a gwụsịrị, ndị Izrel bụ ndị nọ nʼebe ahụ pụrụ gaa nʼobodo niile dị na Juda, kurisie ogidi nsọ niile, gbutukwa ogidi Ashera niile. Ha kwatụrụ ebe niile dị elu na ebe ịchụ aja niile dị na Juda, Benjamin, Ifrem na Manase. Mgbe ha lachara ha niile nʼiyi, ndị Izrel niile laghachiri nʼobodo nke aka ha nakwa nʼihe onye ọbụla nwere.
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, to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the LORD’s camp.
Hezekaya kenyekwara ndị nchụaja na ndị Livayị nʼusoro ịrụ ọrụ ha nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Chineke ụbọchị niile, maka ọrụ ịchụ aja nsure ọkụ na aja udo, na inye ekele, na ito Onyenwe anyị nʼọnụ ụzọ ama ebe obibi ya.
3 He also appointed the king’s portion of his possessions for the burnt offerings: for the morning and evening burnt offerings, and the burnt offerings for the Sabbaths, for the new moons, and for the set feasts, as it is written in the LORD’s law.
Eze nyekwara ụtụ nke ya site nʼihe nweta ya maka iji chụọ aja nsure ọkụ, nke ụtụtụ na abalị, ya na aja nsure ọkụ nke ụbọchị izuike niile na ọnwa ọhụrụ, na nke mmemme niile a kara aka a na-eme dịka ọ dị nʼiwu Onyenwe anyị.
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 LORD’s law.
O nyekwara ndị bi na Jerusalem iwu ka ha na-ewebatara ndị nchụaja na ndị Livayị oke nke ruuru ha, ka ha nwee ike lebanye anya nke ọma nʼiwu Onyenwe anyị.
5 As soon as the commandment went out, the children of Israel gave in abundance the first fruits of grain, new wine, oil, honey, and of all the increase of the field; and they brought in the tithe of all things abundantly.
Ngwangwa e kwusara okwu a, ụmụ Izrel niile wetara onyinye ha nʼebe ọ bara ụba. Ha wetara mkpụrụ mbụ nke ọka ha, na mmanya vaịnị ọhụrụ ha, na mmanụ oliv, na mmanụ aṅụ, na ihe omume niile nke ubi. Ha wetakwara nʼụba otu ụzọ nʼụzọ iri nke ihe niile ọzọ ha nwere.
6 The children of Israel and Judah, who lived in the cities of Judah, also brought in the tithe of cattle and sheep, and the tithe of dedicated things which were consecrated to the LORD their God, and laid them in heaps.
Ndị Izrel na Juda niile bi nʼobodo Juda bubatakwara otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ iri nke igwe ehi, na igwe ewu na atụrụ, na otu ụzọ nʼụzọ iri nke ihe nsọ niile edoro nsọ nye Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke ha. Ha doro ha niile nʼukwu nʼukwu
7 In the third month, they began to lay the foundation of the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month.
Ha bidoro iwebata ihe ndị a site nʼọnwa nke atọ nʼafọ ruo nʼọnwa nke asaa.
8 When Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed the LORD and his people Israel.
Mgbe Hezekaya na ndịisi ya bịara hụ ukwu ihe ndị ahụ niile, ha toro Onyenwe anyị, gọziekwa ndị ya bụ Izrel.
9 Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites about the heaps.
Hezekaya jụrụ ndị nchụaja na ndị Livayị banyere onyinye ndị ahụ e bubatara.
10 Azariah the chief priest, of the house of Zadok, answered him and said, “Since people began to bring the offerings into the LORD’s house, we have eaten and had enough, and have plenty left over, for the LORD has blessed his people; and that which is left is this great store.”
Azaraya, onyeisi nchụaja, onye sitere nʼikwu Zadọk zara sị ya; “Lee, kemgbe ndị mmadụ malitere iwebata onyinye ha nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị o nwebeghị ihe kọrọ anyị. Nʼezie, anyị nwere karịa, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị agọziela ndị ya. Leekwa ihe dị ukwuu ka fọdụrụ.”
11 Then Hezekiah commanded them to prepare rooms in the LORD’s house, and they prepared them.
Hezekaya nyere iwu ka e edozie ụlọ ịchịkọba ihe nʼime ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị ahụ. Ha mekwara otu a.
12 They brought in the offerings, the tithes, and the dedicated things faithfully. Conaniah the Levite was ruler over them, and Shimei his brother was second.
Emesịa, ha jiri ikwesi ntụkwasị obi bubata onyinye ndị ahụ, na onyinye nke otu ụzọ nʼime ụzọ iri, na onyinye e doro nsọ, tifee ha nʼaka Konanaya, onye Livayị. Shimei nwanne ya nwoke bụ onye na-esote ya.
13 Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismachiah, 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.
Jehiel, Azazaya, Nahat, Asahel, Jerimot, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismakaya, Mahat na Benaya, bụ ndị nlekọta ọrụ ndị nọ nʼokpuru Konanaya na Shimei nwanne ya. Ndị a niile bụ ndị eze Hezekaya na Azaraya onye nlekọta ụlọnsọ ukwu Chineke họpụtara.
14 Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the gatekeeper at the east gate, was over the free will offerings of God, to distribute the LORD’s offerings and the most holy things.
Kore nwa Imna, onye Livayị, onye bụkwa onye na-elekọta ọnụ ụzọ ama dị nʼọwụwa anyanwụ, ka e tinyere ọrụ ilekọta onyinye afọ ofufu niile e wetaara Chineke. Ọ bụ ya nwekwa ọrụ ikesa onyinye ndị ahụ niile e bubataara Onyenwe anyị ha na onyinye ndị ọzọ e doro nsọ.
15 Under him were Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, in their office of trust, to give to their brothers by divisions, to the great as well as to the small;
Ndị na-enyere ya aka bụ Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaya, Amaraya na Shekanaya. Ha na-eke onyinye ahụ nye ndị nchụaja niile nʼobodo ahụ, onye ukwu na onye nta, dịka usoro ịrụ ọrụ ha si dị. Ha ji ikwesi ntụkwasị obi na-enyere ya aka.
16 in addition to those who were listed by genealogy of males, from three years old and upward, even everyone who entered into the LORD’s house, as the duty of every day required, for their service in their offices according to their divisions;
Ọzọkwa, ndị ikom niile si nʼezinaụlọ ndị nchụaja, ndị gbara site nʼafọ atọ gbagoo, ndị aha ha dị nʼakwụkwọ usoro ọmụmụ, bụ ndị na-arụ ọrụ nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị, na-eketa oke ihe oriri ha na-eri mgbe ọbụla ha bịara ịrụ ọrụ dịka usoro ọrụ ha si dị.
17 and those who were listed by genealogy of the priests by their fathers’ houses, and the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in their offices by their divisions;
Ha na-ekenye ndị nchụaja niile e dere aha ha nʼakwụkwọ usoro ọmụmụ, kenyekwa ndị Livayị niile gbara site iri afọ abụọ gbagoo ihe oriri dịka usoro ọrụ ha si dị.
18 and those who were listed by genealogy of all their little ones, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, through all the congregation; for in their office of trust they sanctified themselves in holiness.
Ndị na-esokwa keta oke ndị a bụ ụmụntakịrị, na ndị inyom, na ụmụ ndị ikom na ndị inyom na-etolite etolite, bụ ndị niile e depụtara aha ha nʼakwụkwọ usoro ọmụmụ. Ndị a bụ ndị kwesiri ntụkwasị obi nʼido onwe ha nsọ.
19 Also for the sons of Aaron the priests, who were in the fields of the pasture lands of their cities, in every city, there were men who were mentioned by name to give portions to all the males amongst the priests and to all who were listed by genealogy amongst the Levites.
A họpụtara ụfọdụ ndị ikom ndị ọrụ ha bụ ike nri nye ndị nchụaja niile bụ ụmụ ụmụ Erọn. Ndị nchụaja a na-ekwu ihe banyere ha nʼebe a bụ ndị ahụ bi nʼala ubi nke gbara obodo ndị nchụaja gburugburu, maọbụ ndị bi nʼobodo ndị ọzọ. Ndị a bụkwa ndị e dere aha ha niile nʼakwụkwọ usoro ọmụmụ ndị Livayị.
20 Hezekiah did so throughout all Judah; and he did that which was good, right, and faithful before the LORD his God.
Ndị a bụ ihe ndị Hezekaya mere nʼime Juda niile, ọ na-eme ihe dị mma, na nke ziri ezi, nʼikwesị ntụkwasị obi nʼihu Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke ya.
21 In every work that he began in the service of God’s house, in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart and prospered.
Nʼime ihe niile o mere, nke metụtara ije ozi nke ụlọ ukwu Chineke, na idebe iwu niile na ụkpụrụ niile Onyenwe anyị nyere, Hezekaya ji obi ya niile gbasoo Chineke. O jikwa obi ya niile jee ozi niile o jere. Nke a mekwara ka ihe gaara ya nke ọma.
