< 2 Chronicles 29 >
1 Therfor Ezechie bigan to regne, whanne he was of fyue and twenti yeer, and he regnede in Jerusalem nyne and twenti yeer; the name of his modir was Abia, the douytir of Zacharie.
Hezekia alianza kutawala alipokuwa na umri wa miaka ishirini na mitano; alitawala miaka ishini na nane katika Yerusalemu. Jina la mama yake aliitwa Abiya; alikuwa binti wa Zekaria.
2 And he dide that, that was pleasaunt in the siyt of the Lord, bi alle thingis whiche Dauid, his fadir, hadde do.
Alifanya yaliyoadili katika macho ya Yahwe, kama Daudi baba yake alivyofanya.
3 In that yeer and the firste monethe of his rewme he openyde the yatis of the hows of the Lord, and restoride tho;
Katika mwaka wa kwanza wa utawala wake, katika mwezi wa kwanza, Hezekia aliifungua milango ya nyumba ya Yahwe na kuikarabati.
4 and he brouyte the preestis and dekenes, and gaderide hem in to the eest strete,
Akawaleta ndani makuhani na Walawi, na akawakusanya pamoaja katika uwanda upande wa mashariki.
5 and seide to hem, Sones of Leuy, here ye me, and be ye halewid; clense ye the hows of the Lord God of youre fadris; do ye awei al vnclennesse fro the seyntuarie.
Akawaambia, “Nisikilizeni, ninyi Walawi! Jitakaseni wenyewe, na itakaseni nyumba ya Yahwe, Mungu wa babu zenu, na uondoeni mbali uchafu kutoka kwenye sehemu takatifu.
6 Oure fadris synneden, and diden yuel in the siyt of `oure Lord God, and forsoken hym; thei turneden awei her faces fro the tabernacle of `oure Lord God, and yauen the bak.
Kwa kuwa babu zetu walikosea na kufanya kilichokuwa uovu katika macaho ya Yahwe Mungu wetu; walimsahau, wakageuzia mbali nyuso zao kutoka sehemu ambapo Yahwe anaishi, na kuigeuzia migongo yao.
7 Thei closiden the doris that weren in the porche, and quenchiden the lanternes; and thei brenten not encense, and thei offriden not brent sacrifices in the seyntuarie of God of Israel.
Pia waliifunga milango ya ukumbi nakuziweka nje taa; hawakufukiza uvumba au kutoa sadaka za kuteketezwa katika sehemu takatifu kwa Mungu wa Israeli.
8 Therfor the stronge veniaunce of the Lord was reisid on Juda and Jerusalem; and he yaf hem in to stiryng, and in to perischyng, and in to `hisshing, ether scornyng, as ye seen with youre iyen.
Kwa hiyo hasira ya Yahwe ilikuwa imeshuka juu ya Yuda na Yerusalemu, na amewafanya kuwa kitu cha wasiwasi, cha hofu, na cha kudharauriwa, kama mnavyoona kwa macho yenu.
9 Lo! oure fadris felden doun bi swerdis; oure sones, and oure douytris, and wyues ben led prisouneris for this greet trespas.
Hii ndiyo maana mababu zetu wameanguka kwa upanga, na wana wetu, binti zetu, na wake zetu wako katika utumwa kwa sababu ya hili.
10 Now therfor it plesith me, that we make a boond of pees with the Lord God of Israel, and that he turne fro vs the stronge veniaunce of his ire.
Sasa ni katika moyo wangu kufanya agano na Yahwe, Mungu wa Israeli, ili kwamba hasira yake kali iweze kugeukia mbali nasi.
11 My sones, nyle ye be reccheles; the Lord hath chose you, that ye stonde bifor hym, and serue hym, that ye herie hym, and brenne encense to hym.
Wanangu, msiwe wavivu sas, kwa kuwa Yahwe amewachagua kwa ajili ya kusimama mbe yake, kwa ajili ya kumwabudu yeye, na kwamba muwe watumishi wake na kufukiza uvumba.”
12 Therfor the dekenes risiden, Mahat, the sone of Amasie, and Johel, the sone of Azarie, of the sones of Caath; sotheli of the sones of Merarye, Cys, the sone of Abdai, and Azarie, the sone of Jelaleel; forsothe of the sones of Jerson, Joha, the sone of Zemma, and Hedem, the sone of Johaa;
Basi Walawi wakainuka; Mahathi mwana wa Amasai, na Yoeli mwana wa Azaria, wa watu wa Kohathi; na wa watu wa Merari, Kishi mwana wa Abdi, na Azaria mwana wa Yehaleleli; na wa Wargeshoni, Yoa mwana wa Zimna, na Edeni mwana wa Yoa;
13 and sotheli of the sones of Elisaphan, Samri, and Jahiel; and of the sones of Asaph, Zacharie, and Mathanye;
wa wana wa Elisafani, Shimri na Yeueli; wa wana wa Asafu, Zekaria na Matania;
14 also of the sones of Heman, Jahiel, and Semei; but also of the sones of Iditum, Semei, and Oziel.
wa wana wa Hemani, Yehueli na Shimei; na wa wana Yeduthuni, Shemaya na Uzieli.
15 And thei gaderiden to gidere her britheren, and weren halewid; and thei entriden bi comaundement of the kyng, and bi comaundement of the Lord, for to clense the hows of the Lord.
Wakawakusanya ndugu zao, wakajitakasa wenyewe, na wakaenda ndani, kama alivyoamru mfalme, wakifuata maneno ya Yahwe, kwa ajili ya kuisafisha nyumba ya Yahwe.
16 Also preestis entriden in to the temple of the Lord, for to halewe it, and thei baren out al vnclennesse, which thei founden ther ynne in the porche, `ethir large place, of the hows of the Lord; which vnclennesse the dekenes token, and baren out to the stronde of Cedron with outforth.
Makuhani wakaenda kwenye sehemu za ndani ya nyumba ya Yahwe kwa ajili ya kuisafisha; wakaleta nje uchafu wote walioukuta ndani ya hekalu la Yahwe katika uwanja wa nyumba. Walawi wakauchukua kuubeba nje ya hadi kwnye kijito cha Kidroni.
17 Sotheli thei bigunnen to clense in the firste dai of the firste monethe, and in the eiyte dai of the same monethe thei entriden in to the porche of the hows of the Lord, and thei clensiden the temple eiyte daies; and in the sixtenthe dai of the same monethe thei filliden that, that thei hadden bigunne.
Sasa wakaanza utakaso katika siku ya kwanza ya mwezi. Katika siku ya nane ya mwezi wakaufikia ukumbi wa Yahwe. Kisha siku nane zaidi wakaitakasa nyumba ya Yahwe. Katika siku ya kumi na sita ya mwezi wa kwanza wakamaliza.
18 And thei entriden to Ezechie, the king, and seiden to hym, We han halewid al the hows of the Lord, and the auter of brent sacrifice therof, and the vessels therof, also and the boord of settyngforth with alle hise vessels,
Kisha wakaenda kwa Hezekia, mfalme, ndani ya ikulu na kusema, “Tumeisafisha nyumba yote ya Yahwe, madhabahu kwa ajili ya kutolea sadaka za kuteketezwa pamoja na vifaa vyake vyote, na meza ya mkate wa uwepo, pamoja na vifaa vyake vyote.
19 and al the purtenaunce of the temple, `which purtenaunce king Achaz hadde defoulid in his rewme, aftir that he brak the lawe; and lo! alle thingis ben set forth bifor the auter of the Lord.
Kwa hiyo tumejiandaa na tumevitakasa vitu vyote ambavyo Mfalme Ahazi aliviondoa wakati alipoenda kwa ukengeufu katika kipindi cha utawala wake, ona, viko mbele ya madhabahu ya Yahwe.”
20 And Ezechie, the kyng, roos in the morwetid, and gaderide togidere alle the princes of the citee, and stiede in to the hows of the Lord;
Kisha Hezekia mfalme akaamka mapema asubuhi na kuwakusanya viongozi wa miji; akaenda kwenye nyumba ya Yahwe.
21 and thei offriden togidere seuene bolis, and seuene rammes, seuene lambren, and seuene buckis of geet, for synne, for the rewme, for the seyntuarye, and for Juda. And he seide to preestis, the sones of Aaron, that thei schulden offre on the auter of the Lord.
Wakaleta ng'ombe waume saba, kondoo waume saba, wanakondoo saba, mbuzi waume saba kama sadaka ya dhambi kwa ajili ya mfalme, kwa ajili ya patakatifu, kwa ajili ya Yuda. Akawaamuru makuhani, wana wa Haruni, kuwatoa sadaka juu ya madhabahu ya Yahwe.
22 Therfor thei killiden bolis, and `the preestis tooken the blood, and schedden it on the auter; also thei killiden rammes, and `the preestis schedden the blood of tho on the auter; thei offriden lambren, and `the preestis schedden the blood on the auter.
Kwa hiyo wakawachinja ng'ombe, na makuhani wakaipokea damu na kuinyunyiza juu ya madhabahu. Wakawachinja kondoo dume, na kunyunyiza damu juu ya madhabahu; Pia wakawachinja wanakondoo na kuinyunyiza damu juu ya madhabahu.
23 And thei brouyten buckis of geet `for synne bifor the kyng and al the multitude, and thei settiden her hondis on tho;
Wakawaleta mbuzi kwa ajili ya sadka ya dhambi mbele ya mfalme na kusnyiko; wakaweka mikono yao juu ya hao mbuzi.
24 and the preestis offriden tho, and spreynten the blood of tho bifor the auter, for the clensyng of al Israel. For the king comaundide, that brent sacrifice shulde be made for al Israel, and for synne.
Makuhani wakawachinja, na wakafanya sadaka ya dhambi kwa damu yao juu ya madhabahu ili kufanya upatanisho kwa ajili ya Israeli wote, kwa maana mfalme alikuwa ameamuru kuwa sadaka ya kuteketezwa na sadaka ya dhambi lazima zifanywe kwa ajili ya Israeli wote.
25 Also he ordeynede dekenes in the hows of the Lord, with cymbalis, and sawtrees, and harpis, bi the ordenaunce of `Dauid the kyng, and of Gad, the profete, and of Nathan, the profete; for it was the comaundement of the Lord bi the hond of hise prophetis.
Hezekia akawaweka Walawi katika nyumba ya Yahwe wakiwa na matoazi, vinanda, na vinubi, akiwapanga kwa amri ya Daaudi, Gadi, mwonaji wa mfalme, na Nathani, nabii, kwa maana amri ilitoka kwa Yahwe kupitia manabii wake.
26 And the dekenes stoden, and helden the orguns of Dauid; and preestis helden trumpis.
Walawi wakasimama na vyombo vya Daudi, na makauhani wakasimama na matarumbeta.
27 And Ezechie comaundide, that thei schulden offre brent sacrifices on the auter; and whanne brent sacrifices weren offrid, thei bigunnen to synge preisyngis to the Lord, and to sowne with trumpis, and in dyuerse orguns, whiche Dauid, the kyng of Israel, hadde maad redi for to sowne.
Hezekia akawaamuru kutoa sadaka za kuteketezwa juu ya madhabahu. Sadaka zilipoanza, wimbo wa Yahwe ukaanza pia, kwa matarumbeta, pamoja na vyombo vya Daudi, mfalme wa Israeli.
28 Forsothe whanne al the cumpenye worschipide, syngeris and thei that helden trumpis weren in her office, til the brent sacrifice was fillid.
Kusanyiko lote wakaabudu, waimbaji wakaimba, na wapiga matarumbeta wakapiga; yote hayo yakaendele hadi sadaka za kuteketezwa zilizipokwisha.
29 And whanne the offryng was endid, the kyng was bowid, and alle that weren with hym, and thei worschipiden God.
Walipomaliza kutoa sadaka, mfalme na watu waliokuwepo pamoja naye wakainama, na kusujudu.
30 And Ezechie and the princes comaundiden to the dekenes, that thei schulden preise the Lord with the wordis of Dauith, and of Asaph, the profete; whiche preisiden hym with greet gladnesse, and kneliden, and worschipiden.
Vile vile, Hezekia, mfalme, na viongozi wakawaamuru Walawi kuimba ili kumsifu Yahwe kwa maneno ya Daudi na ya Asafu, mwonaji. Wakaimba sifa kwa furaha, wakainama chini wakasujudu.
31 Sothely Ezechie addide also these thingis, Ye han fillid youre hondis to the Lord; neiye ye, and offre sacrifices and preisyngis in the hows of the Lord.
Kisha Hezekia akasema, “Sasa mmejiweka wakfu wenyewe kwa Yahwe. Njoni hapa na mlete sadaka na dhabihu za shukrani katika nyumba ya Yahwe.” Kusanyiko wakaleta sadka na dhabihu za shukrani, na wote waliaokuwa na moyo wa kuhiyalika wakaleta sadka za kuteketezwa.
32 Therfor al the multitude offride with deuoute soule sacrifices, and preisyngis, and brent sacrifices. Sotheli this was the noumbre of brent sacrifices, whiche the multitude offride; seuenti bolis, and an hundrid rammes, two hundrid lambren.
Hesabu ya sadaka za kuteketezwa ambazo kusanyiko walileta ilikuwa ng'ombe sabini, kondoo waume mia moja, na wanakondo waume mia mbili. Wote hao walikuwa kwa ajili ya sadaka za kuteketezwa kwa Yahwe.
33 Also thei halewiden to the Lord sixe hundrid oxis, and thre thousynde sheep.
Sadaka za kuwekwa wakfu zilikuwa ng'ome mia sita na kondoo elfu tatu.
34 Forsothe the preestis weren fewe, and myyten not suffice for to `drawe awei the skynnes of brent sacrifices; wherfor and the dekenes her britheren helpiden hem, til the werk was fillid, and the preestis weren halewid; for the dekenes ben halewid bi liytere custom than the preestis.
Lakini makuhani walikuwa wachache sana kuchuna sadaka zote za kuteketezwa, kwa hiyo ndgugu zao, Walawi, wakawasaidia hadi kazi ilipoisha, na hadi makuhani walipoweza kujitakasa wenyewe, kwa maana Walawi walikuwa makaini sana kujitaksa wenyewe kuliko makuhani.
35 Therfor there weren ful many brent sacrifices, ynnere fatnessis of pesible sacrifices, and the moyste sacrifices of brent sacrifices, and the worschip, `ethir ournyng, of the `Lordis hows was fillid.
Zaidi ya hayo, palikuwa na sadaka za kuteketezwa nyingi sana; zilitolewa pamoja na sadaka za mafauta za amani, na kulikuwa na sadaka za vinywaji kwa kila sadaka ya kuteketezwa. Kwa hiyo huduma ya nyumba ya Yahwe ikawekwa katika utaratibu.
36 And Ezechie was glad, and al the puple, for the seruyce of the Lord was fillid; for it pleside, that this was doon sodeynly.
Hezekia akafurahia, na watu pia, kwa sababu ya kile ambacho Mungu alikuwa ameandaa kwa ajili ya watu, kwa maana kazi ilikuwa imekamilika haraka.
