Esi wotsrɔ̃ nu siawo katã vɔ megbe la, Israelviwo gbugbɔ yi woawo ŋutɔ ƒe duwo me eye woyi ɖanɔ woƒe aƒewo me.
And when all this was finished, all Israel that were present went out to the cities of Judah, and broke in pieces the statues, and cut down the groves, and pulled down the high-places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, and in Ephraim and Menasseh, until they had made an end of them all. Then returned all the children of Israel every man to his possession, to their own cities.
2 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.
And Hezekiah stationed the divisions of the priests and the Levites after their divisions, every man according to his service, of the priests and the Levites, for burnt-offerings and for peace-offerings, to minister, and to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the camps of the Lord.
3 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.
The king also gave a portion from his own property for the burnt-offerings, [namely, ] for the morning and evening burnt-offerings, and the burnt-offerings for the sabbaths, and for the new-moons, and for the appointed feasts, as it is written in the law of the Lord.
4 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.
Moreover he said to the people, to those who dwelt in Jerusalem, to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, in order that they might hold firmly to the law of the Lord.
5 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.
And when the matter was spread abroad, the children of Israel brought in abundance the first-fruits of corn, of the new wine, and of oil, and of honey, and of all the products of the field: and the tithe of all things did they bring [likewise] in abundance.
6 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.
And as for the children of Israel and Judah, that dwelt in the cities of Judah, they also brought in the tithe of oxen and sheep, and the tithe of holy things which were hallowed unto the Lord their God, and gave [them] by heaps.
7 Wodze nu sia wɔwɔ gɔme le ɣleti etɔ̃lia me eye wowu enu le ɣleti adrelia me.
In the third month did they begin to lay the foundation of the heaps, and in the seventh month did they finish them.
8 Esi Hezekia kple eƒe dziɖulawo kpɔ nu siwo woƒo ƒu ɖi la, wokafu Yehowa eye woyra eƒe amewo, Israelviwo.
And when Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed the Lord, and his people Israel.
9 Hezekia bia nunɔlawo kple Levitɔwo be, “Afi ka nu gbogbo siawo katã tso?”
Then made Hezekiah inquiry of the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps.
10 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.”
Then spoke to him 'Azaryahu the chief priest of the house of Zadok, and said, Since it was begun to bring the heave-offerings into the house of the Lord, there hath been enough to eat, and to leave in great abundance; for the Lord hath blessed his people: and that which is left is this great mass.
11 Hezekia ɖe gbe be woatu nudzraɖoƒexɔwo ɖe Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la me, ale wowɔe nenema.
Then ordered Hezekiah to prepare chambers in the house of the Lord: and they prepared them.
12 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.
And they brought in the heave-offerings, and the tithes, and the sanctified things, in faithfulness: and over them were appointed the ruler Conanyahu the Levite, and Shim'i his brother the second in rank.
13 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.
And Jechiel, and 'Azazyahu, and Nachath, and 'Assahel, and Jerimoth. and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Yissmachyahu, and Machath, and Benayahu, were overseers under the supervision of Conanyahu and Shim'i his brother, by the appointment of king Hezekiah, and 'Azazyahu the ruler of the house of God.
14 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.
And Kore the son of Yimnah the Levite, the gatekeeper at the east side. was over the freewill-offerings of God, to give [to him] the heave-offerings of the Lord, and the most holy things.
15 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.
And under his supervision were 'Eden, and Minyamin, and Jeshua', and Shema-yahu, Amaryahu, and Shechanyahu, in the cities of the priests, in faithfulness, to give to their brethren after the divisions, equally to the great as to the small;
16 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.
Besides [these] to those recorded by their genealogies of males, from three years old and upward, of all that entered into the house of the Lord, the daily portion on its day, for their service in their charges according to their divisions.
17 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.
And likewise to the priests recorded by their genealogies after their family divisions, and the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in their charges by their divisions;
18 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.
And to those recorded by their genealogies of all their little ones, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, of all the assembly; for in their faithfulness they devoted themselves in the sanctuary.
19 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.
Also of the sons of Aaron the priests, who were in the fields of the open districts of their cities, in each and every city, there were men, expressed by name, who had to give portions to all the males among the priests, and to all that were recorded by their genealogies among the Levites.
20 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.
And the like did Hezekiah in all Judah, and he did what is good and right and true before the Lord his God.
21 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.
And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he acted with all his heart, and prospered.
