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.
Esi nu siawo katã wu enu la, Israelvi siwo katã nɔ afi ma la do go yi Yuda ƒe duwo me eye wogbã legbawo, heho aƒeliwo ƒu anyi, wogbã nuxeƒewo kple vɔsamlekpui siwo katã nɔ Yuda, Benyamin, Efraim kple Manase. Esi wotsrɔ̃ nu siawo katã vɔ megbe la, Israelviwo gbugbɔ yi woawo ŋutɔ ƒe duwo me eye woyi ɖanɔ woƒe aƒewo me.
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.
Azɔ la, Hezekia ma nunɔlawo kple Levitɔwo ɖe hatsotsowo me hena nu vɔ̃ vɔsa kple akpedavɔ sasa eye be woasubɔ Yehowa, atsɔ akpedada kple kafukafu nɛ.
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.
Ena vɔsalãwo tso eya ŋutɔ ƒe lãhawo me hena gbe sia gbe ŋdi kple fiẽ ƒe numevɔsawo kple Dzudzɔgbe kple Ɣleti Yeye ƒe ŋkekenyuiwo kple ƒe sia ƒe ƒe ŋkekenyui bubuwo ƒe numevɔsawo, abe ale si Mawu ƒe se la bia tso wo si ene.
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.
Hekpe ɖe esiawo ŋu la, Fia Hezekia na be Yerusalemtɔwo natsɔ woƒe nuwo ƒe ewolia vɛ na nunɔlawo kple Levitɔwo ale be magahiã be woawɔ dɔ bubuwo o, ke boŋ woalé fɔ ɖe dɔ siwo Mawu ƒe se la ɖo na wo la ko ŋu vevie.
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.
Esi sedede sia ɖo ameawo ƒe tome ko la, Israelviwo kɔ dɔme na woƒe kutsetse gbãtɔwo, wain yeye, ami kple anyitsi kple agblemenuku ɖe sia ɖe ƒomevi. Wotsɔ nu sɔgbɔwo vɛ siwo nye nu sia nu ƒe ewolia ƒe ɖeka.
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.
Israelvi kple Yudatɔ siwo nɔ Yuda duwo me la hã tsɔ woƒe lãwo ƒe ewolia ƒe ɖeka kple nu kɔkɔe si wodzra ɖo na Yehowa, woƒe Mawu la ƒe ewolia ƒe ɖeka vɛ eye woli kɔ wo.
7 In the third month, they began to lay the foundation of the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month.
Wodze nu sia wɔwɔ gɔme le ɣleti etɔ̃lia me eye wowu enu le ɣleti adrelia me.
8 When Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed the LORD and his people Israel.
Esi Hezekia kple eƒe dziɖulawo kpɔ nu siwo woƒo ƒu ɖi la, wokafu Yehowa eye woyra eƒe amewo, Israelviwo.
9 Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites about the heaps.
Hezekia bia nunɔlawo kple Levitɔwo be, “Afi ka nu gbogbo siawo katã tso?”
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.”
nunɔlagã Azaria, tso Zadok ƒe hlɔ̃ me, ɖo eŋu be, “Esiawoe nye nuwo ƒe ewolia ƒe ɖeka! Míele nu ɖum tso nu siawo me kɔsiɖa geɖewo nye esi gake nu gbogbo siawo gasusɔ elabena Yehowa yra eƒe amewo.”
11 Then Hezekiah commanded them to prepare rooms in the LORD’s house, and they prepared them.
Hezekia ɖe gbe be woatu nudzraɖoƒexɔwo ɖe Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la me, ale wowɔe nenema.
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.
Tete wowɔ nuteƒe hetsɔ woƒe nudzɔdzɔwo, nu ewoliawo kple nunana si woɖe ɖe aga la vɛ. Konania, Levitɔ, nɔ nu siawo nu eye nɔvia ŋutsu. Simei, nye ame si nye eƒe kpeɖeŋutɔ.
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.
Yehiel, Azazia, Nahat, Asahel, Yerimɔt, Yozabad, Eliel, Ismakia, Mahat kple Benaya nye dɔdzikpɔlawo nɔ Konania kple nɔvia ŋutsu Simei te le Fia Hezekia kple Azaria, Mawu ƒe gbedoxɔ dzikpɔla la ƒe ɖoɖo nu.
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, Levitɔ, Imna ƒe viŋutsu, Ɣedzeƒegbo la nudzɔla nɔ lɔlɔ̃nununana siwo wotsɔ vɛ na Mawu la dzi kpɔm. Enɔ nu siwo wodzɔ na Yehowa la kple nunana siwo ŋu wokɔ la mam.
15 Under him were Eden, Miniamin, Yeshua, 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;
Eden, Miniamin, Yesua, Semaya, Amaria kple Sekania kpe ɖe eŋu le nuteƒewɔwɔ me le nunɔlawo ƒe duwo me le numama na wo nɔvi nunɔlawo me ɖe woƒe hatsotsowo nu na tsitsiawo kple ɖeviawo siaa.
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;
Hekpe ɖe esiawo ŋuti la, woma nu na viŋutsu siwo xɔ ƒe etɔ̃ alo wu nenema, ame siwo ƒe ŋkɔwo menɔ dzidzimegbalẽ la me o, ame siwo dze be woayi ɖe Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la me be woawɔ woƒe gbe sia gbe dɔdeasiwo le dɔ vovovo siwo woɖo na wo ɖe woƒe hatsotsowo me nu.
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;
Eye woma nuwo na nunɔlawo, ame siwo ŋkɔ woƒe ƒomewo ŋlɔ ɖe dzidzimegbalẽawo me. Nenema kee wowɔ na Levitɔ siwo xɔ ƒe blaeve alo wu, le woƒe dɔdeasiwo kple woƒe hatsotsowo nu.
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.
Ame siwo hã ƒe ŋkɔwo nɔ dzidzimegbalẽawo me la woe nye: ɖevi suewo, srɔ̃nyɔnuwo kple dukɔ blibo la ƒe viŋutsuwo kple vinyɔnuwo elabena wowɔ nuteƒe le wo ɖokuiwo ŋu kɔkɔ me.
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.
Wotia nunɔla ɖeka le du ɖe sia ɖe si me nunɔlawo, Aron ƒe viwo, nɔ la me be wòama nuɖuɖu kple nu bubuwo na nunɔla siwo le nuto me ma kple Levitɔ siwo katã ŋkɔ wode agbalẽ me.
20 Hezekiah did so throughout all Judah; and he did that which was good, right, and faithful before the LORD his God.
Ale Fia Hezekia wɔ ɖoɖo ɖe numama ŋu le Yudanyigba blibo la dzi; ewɔ nu si nyo eye wòdze la, le Yehowa, eƒe Mawu la ŋkume.
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.
Edze agbagba vevie be yeana ameawo nabu gbedoxɔ la kple se la eye woanɔ agbe si adze Mawu ŋu. Nu siawo katã dze edzi nɛ nyuie.
