2 Chronicles 29
1 Hezekiah began to reign when he was twenty-five years old, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.
Hezekiah he kum kul kum nga a lo ca vaengah manghai tih Jerusalem ah kum kul kum ko manghai. A manu ming tah Zekhariah canu Abijah ni.
2 He did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, according to all that David his father had done.
A napa David kah a saii bang boeih la BOEIPA mik ah a thuem ni a saii.
3 In the first year of his reign, in the first month, he opened the doors of Yahweh’s house and repaired them.
A manghai cuek kum dongkah a hla lamhma cuek vaengah BOEIPA im kah thohkhaih te a ong tih a tlaih.
4 He brought in the priests and the Levites and gathered them together into the wide place on the east,
Khosoih rhoek neh Levi rhoek te a khuen tih amih te khocuk toltung ah a kuk.
5 and said to them, “Listen to me, you Levites! Now sanctify yourselves, and sanctify the house of Yahweh, the God of your fathers, and carry the filthiness out of the holy place.
Te phoeiah amih te, “Kai ol he hnatun uh. Levi rhoek nang, ciim uh lamtah na pa rhoek kah Pathen BOEIPA im te ciim uh laeh. Hmuencim lamkah rhalawt te khaw khoe uh laeh.
6 For our fathers were unfaithful, and have done that which was evil in Yahweh our God’s sight, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of Yahweh, and turned their backs.
A pa rhoek loh boe a koek uh tih mamih kah Pathen BOEIPA mikhmuh ah boethae a saii uh dongah amah te a hnawt uh. A maelhmai te BOEIPA kah dungtlungim lamloh mangthong uh tih a rhawn a maelh uh.
7 Also they have shut up the doors of the porch, and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense nor offered burnt offerings in the holy place to the God of Israel.
Ngalha kah thohkhaih khaw a khaih uh tih hmaithoi te a thih uh. Bo-ul khaw phum uh pawt tih hmueihhlutnah te Israel Pathen kah hmuencim ah nawn uh pawh.
8 Therefore Yahweh’s wrath was on Judah and Jerusalem, and he has delivered them to be tossed back and forth, to be an astonishment and a hissing, as you see with your eyes.
Te dongah BOEIPA kah thinhulnah loh Judah neh Jerusalem te a tlak thil tih amih te tonganah la, ngaihuetnah la, imsuep la, na mik neh na hmuh uh banlga thuithetnah la a khueh.
9 For behold, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this.
Te dongah a pa rhoek khaw cunghang dongah cungku uh coeng ke. He kongah ni mamih capa, mamih canu neh mamih yuu rhoek khaw tamna khuiah a om.
10 Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with Yahweh, the God of Israel, that his fierce anger may turn away from us.
Kai thinko khuiah Israel Pathen BOEIPA neh paipi saii ham om coeng. Te daengah ni a thintoek thinsa khaw mamih taeng lamloh a mael eh.
11 My sons, don’t be negligent now; for Yahweh has chosen you to stand before him, to minister to him, and that you should be his ministers and burn incense.”
Ka ca rhoek khaw vawk vapsa uh boeh. Nangmih te BOEIPA loh amah mikhmuh ah aka pai ham, amah taengah aka thotat ham neh a taengah aka thotat tih aka phum la om ham ni a coelh,” a ti nah.
12 Then the Levites arose: Mahath, the son of Amasai, and Joel the son of Azariah, of the sons of the Kohathites; and of the sons of Merari, Kish the son of Abdi, and Azariah the son of Jehallelel; and of the Gershonites, Joah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joah;
Te dongah Levi lamkah aka thoo rhoek tah, Amasai capa Mahath, Kohathi koca lamloh Azariah capa Joel, Merari koca lamloh Abdi capa Kish, Jehallelel capa Azariah, Gershon lamloh Zimmah capa Joah neh Joah capa Eden.
13 and of the sons of Elizaphan, Shimri and Jeuel; and of the sons of Asaph, Zechariah and Mattaniah;
Elizaphan koca lamloh Shimri, Jeuel neh Jeiel, Asaph koca lamloh Zekhariah neh Mattaniah.
14 and of the sons of Heman, Jehuel and Shimei; and of the sons of Jeduthun, Shemaiah and Uzziel.
Heman koca lamloh Jehiel neh Shimei, Jeduthun koca lamloh Shemaiah neh Uzziel.
15 They gathered their brothers, sanctified themselves, and went in, according to the commandment of the king by Yahweh’s words, to cleanse Yahweh’s house.
A pacaboeina te a coi tih a ciim uh phoeiah tah manghai olpaek bangla BOEIPA im caihcil ham BOEIPA ol dongah pongpa uh.
16 The priests went into the inner part of Yahweh’s house to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in Yahweh’s temple into the court of Yahweh’s house. The Levites took it from there to carry it out to the brook Kidron.
Khosoih rhoek khaw BOEIPA im te caihcil hamla a khui la kun uh. BOEIPA bawkim ah a tihnai a hmuh boeih te BOEIPA im kah vongup la a sat uh. Te phoeiah Levi rhoek loh a doe uh tih Kidron soklong kah a voel la a thak uh.
17 Now they began on the first day of the first month to sanctify, and on the eighth day of the month they came to Yahweh’s porch. They sanctified Yahweh’s house in eight days, and on the sixteenth day of the first month they finished.
Im ciim ham te a hla khat dongah lamhma la a tong uh tih te hla kah a hnin rhet dongah tah BOEIPA kah ngalha taengla pawk uh. A hnin rhet dongah BOEIPA im te a ciim uh tih lamhmacuek hla kah hnin hlai rhuk dongah a khah uh.
18 Then they went in to Hezekiah the king within the palace and said, “We have cleansed all Yahweh’s house, including the altar of burnt offering with all its vessels, and the table of show bread with all its vessels.
Te phoeiah manghai Hezekiah taengah a khui la kun uh tih, “BOEIPA im boeih neh hmueihhlutnah hmueihtuk khaw, a hnopai boeih khaw, rhungkung caboei neh a hnopai boeih te khaw, ka caihcil uh coeng.
19 Moreover, we have prepared and sanctified all the vessels which King Ahaz threw away in his reign when he was unfaithful. Behold, they are before Yahweh’s altar.”
Manghai Ahaz loh a ram ah boekoeknah la a hlahpham hnopai boeih te khaw ka soepsoei uh tih BOEIPA kah hmueihtuk hmai ah ka ciim uh coeng ke,” a ti nauh.
20 Then Hezekiah the king arose early, gathered the princes of the city, and went up to Yahweh’s house.
Te vaengah manghai Hezekiah te thoo tih khopuei mangpa rhoek te a coi phoeiah BOEIPA im la cet.
21 They brought seven bulls, seven rams, seven lambs, and seven male goats, for a sin offering for the kingdom, for the sanctuary, and for Judah. He commanded the priests the sons of Aaron to offer them on Yahweh’s altar.
Te phoeiah vaito pumrhih, tutal pumrhih, tuca pumrhih, maae tal pumrhih te ram ham khaw, rhokso ham khaw, Judah ham khaw boirhaem la a khuen. Te phoeiah Aaron koca khosoih taengah BOEIPA kah hmueihtuk dongah a nawn ham te a uen.
22 So they killed the bulls, and the priests received the blood and sprinkled it on the altar. They killed the rams and sprinkled the blood on the altar. They also killed the lambs and sprinkled the blood on the altar.
Te dongah saelhung a ngawn uh phoeiah tah a thii te khosoih rhoek loh a duen uh tih hmueihtuk dongah a haeh uh. Tutal khaw a ngawn uh tih a thii te hmueihtuk dongah a haeh uh bal. Tuca khaw a ngawn uh tih a thii te hmueihtuk dongah a haeh uh.
23 They brought near the male goats for the sin offering before the king and the assembly; and they laid their hands on them.
Boirhaem maae te tah manghai neh hlangping mikhmuh la a mop uh tih a soah a kut a tloeng uh.
24 Then the priests killed them, and they made a sin offering with their blood on the altar, to make atonement for all Israel; for the king commanded that the burnt offering and the sin offering should be made for all Israel.
Hmueihhlutnah neh boirhaem he manghai loh Israel boeih ham a thui coeng. Te dongah khosoih loh a ngawn van nen tah Israel pum kah te dawth pah hamla a thii te hmueihtuk dongah a khueh uh.
25 He set the Levites in Yahweh’s house with cymbals, with stringed instruments, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, of Gad the king’s seer, and Nathan the prophet; for the commandment was from Yahweh by his prophets.
BOEIPA im kah Levi rhoek tah David neh manghai kah khohmu Gad, tonghma Nathan kah olpaek bangla tlaklak neh, thangpa neh, rhotoeng neh paiuh. Te olpaek te BOEIPA kut neh amah kah tonghma rhoek kut ah a paek.
26 The Levites stood with David’s instruments, and the priests with the trumpets.
Te dongah Levi rhoek te David kah a tumbael neh, khosoih rhoek te olueng neh pai uh.
27 Hezekiah commanded them to offer the burnt offering on the altar. When the burnt offering began, Yahweh’s song also began, along with the trumpets and instruments of David king of Israel.
Hezekiah loh hmueihtuk dongah hmueihhlutnah nawn ham a thui tih hmueihhlutnah tue a tong. Te vaengah BOEIPA laa neh olueng te a kut dongkah Israel manghai David tumbael neh a tong.
28 All the assembly worshiped, the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded. All this continued until the burnt offering was finished.
Hlangping boeih loh a bakop van neh laa te a sak tih olueng aka ueng long khaw hmueihhlutnah boeih a coeng hil a ueng.
29 When they had finished offering, the king and all who were present with him bowed themselves and worshiped.
A nawn bawt ah manghai neh a taengkah a hmuh boeih loh cungkueng uh tih a bawkuh.
30 Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praises to Yahweh with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. They sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshiped.
David neh khohmu Asaph kah olka bangla BOEIPA thangthen hamla manghai Hezekiah neh mangpa rhoek loh Levi rhoek te a uen. Te dongah kohoenah neh a thangthen uh phoeiah buluk tih a bawk uh.
31 Then Hezekiah answered, “Now you have consecrated yourselves to Yahweh. Come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into Yahweh’s house.” The assembly brought in sacrifices and thank offerings, and as many as were of a willing heart brought burnt offerings.
Te phoeiah Hezekiah loh a doo tih, “Na kut cung sak uh laeh, BOEIPA taengla mop uh lamtah hmueih neh uemonah te BOEIPA im la khuen uh,” a ti nah. Te dongah hlangping loh hmueih neh uemonah khaw, hlangcong lungbuei kah hmueihhlutnah cungkuem te khaw a khuen uh.
32 The number of the burnt offerings which the assembly brought was seventy bulls, one hundred rams, and two hundred lambs. All these were for a burnt offering to Yahweh.
A pum la hlangping loh hmueihhlutnah a khuen te vaito sawmrhih, tutal yakhat, tuca yahnih lo. He boeih he BOEIPA ham hmueihhlutnah ni.
33 The consecrated things were six hundred head of cattle and three thousand sheep.
Hnocim la saelhung ya rhuk, boiva thawng thum lo.
34 But the priests were too few, so that they could not skin all the burnt offerings. Therefore their brothers the Levites helped them until the work was ended, and until the priests had sanctified themselves, for the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests.
Tedae khosoih rhoek tah a sii la om uh tih hmueihhlutnah boeih te hlaih hamla noeng uh pawh. Te dongah amih te a manuca Levi rhoek loh bitat a coeng hil neh khosoih a ciim hil a duel uh. Levi rhoek tah khosoih rhoek lakah a ciim ham thinko thuem uh.
35 Also the burnt offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace offerings and with the drink offerings for every burnt offering. So the service of Yahweh’s house was set in order.
Hmueihhlutnah khaw a cungkuem la rhoepnah maehtha neh, tuisi neh, hmueihhlutnah neh soep. Te dongah BOEIPA im kah thothuengnah khaw cikngae.
36 Hezekiah and all the people rejoiced because of that which God had prepared for the people; for the thing was done suddenly.
Pathen loh pilnam ham a soepsoei tih ol te thaeng a thoeng coeng dongah Hezekiah neh pilnam boeih loh a kohoe.
