Sekuphelile konke lokhu abako-Israyeli ababesemkhosini bangena emizini yakoJuda, badiliza izinsika zokukhonzela u-Ashera. Badiliza izindawo zokukhonzela lama-alithare kulolonke elakoJuda lakoBhenjamini kanye lako-Efrayimi lakoManase. Bathe sebekudilizile konke lokhu, abako-Israyeli babuyela emizini yabo, ezindaweni zabo.
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.
UHezekhiya wamisa abaphristi labaLevi ngezigaba ngamunye wabo kusiya ngemisebenzi yabo yobuphristi kumbe eyabaLevi eyokunikela ngeminikelo yokutshiswa leminikelo yobudlelwano, ukukhonza, ukubonga kanye lokuhlabelela indumiso emasangweni endaweni ehlala uThixo.
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.
Inkosi yapha okuvela kweyayo inotho iminikelo yokutshiswa yekuseni lantambama kanye lokweminikelo yokutshiswa ngamaSabatha, leyokuThwasa kweziNyanga kanye leyemikhosi emisiweyo njengokulotshiweyo eMthethweni kaThixo.
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.
Inkosi yathi abantu abahlala eJerusalema kumele banike abaphristi labaLevi imfanelo yabo ukuze basebenze ngokuzinikela eMthethweni kaThixo.
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.
Masinyazana ngemva kwesiqondiso, abako-Israyeli banikela kakhulu ngokwesivuno sakuqala samabele, lokwewayini elitsha, lokwamafutha lokwenyosi lakho konke okwakutholakala emasimini. Baletha okunengi kakhulu, okwetshumi kukho konke.
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.
Amadoda ako-Israyeli lawakoJuda ayehlala emizini yakoJuda lawo aletha okwetshumi kwemihlambi yenkomo leyezimvu zawo lezinto ezingcwele zokunikela kuThixo uNkulunkulu wawo, azibuthelela inqwabanqwaba.
7 Wodze nu sia wɔwɔ gɔme le ɣleti etɔ̃lia me eye wowu enu le ɣleti adrelia me.
Baqalisa ukukwenza lokhu ngenyanga yesithathu baze baqeda ngenyanga yesikhombisa.
8 Esi Hezekia kple eƒe dziɖulawo kpɔ nu siwo woƒo ƒu ɖi la, wokafu Yehowa eye woyra eƒe amewo, Israelviwo.
UHezekhiya lezikhulu zakhe befika bebona lezozinqwabanqwaba badumisa uThixo njalo babusisa abantu bakhe bako-Israyeli.
9 Hezekia bia nunɔlawo kple Levitɔwo be, “Afi ka nu gbogbo siawo katã tso?”
UHezekhiya wabuza abaphristi labaLevi ngenqwabanqwaba;
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.”
u-Azariya umphristi omkhulu, owendlu kaZadokhi wamphendula wathi, “Kusukela abantu beqalise ukuletha iminikelo yabo ethempelini likaThixo, sesizuze ukudla okunengi njalo okusalayo kunengi kakhulu, ngoba uThixo ubabusisile abantu bakhe, yikho kulalokhu okunengi kangaka okuseleyo.”
11 Hezekia ɖe gbe be woatu nudzraɖoƒexɔwo ɖe Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la me, ale wowɔe nenema.
UHezekhiya wapha imilayo yokuba kwakhiwe iziphala ethempelini likaThixo, lakanye lokho kwenziwa.
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.
Ngakho baqhubeka beletha izipho ngokwethembeka, lokwetshumi kanye lezipho eziqakathekileyo. UKhenaniya induna enkulu, umLevi, wayephethe lezizinto, njalo umfowabo uShimeyi wayengumsekeli wakhe.
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.
UJehiyeli, lo-Azaziya, loNahathi, lo-Asaheli, loJerimothi, loJozabhadi, lo-Eliyeli, lo-Isimakhiya loMahathi kanye loBhenaya babekhangele umsebenzi bengaphansi kukaKhenaniya lomfowabo uShimeyi, njengokukhethwa kwabo yinkosi uHezekhiya lo-Azariya isikhulu esasikhangele ithempeli likaNkulunkulu.
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.
UKhore indodana ka-Imna umLevi, owayengumlindi weSango langeMpumalanga, wayephethe iminikelo yokuzithandela kuNkulunkulu, enguye owaba okunikelwe kuThixo kanye lezipho ezingcwelisiweyo.
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.
U-Edeni, loMiniyamini, loJeshuwa, loShemaya, lo-Amariya kanye loShekhaniya bamncedisa kakhulu bethembekile emizini yabaphristi, besabelana kusiya ngezigaba zabaphristi, abadala labatsha, ngokufananayo.
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.
Phezu kwalokho, babesabela abesilisa kusukela kwabaleminyaka emithathu ngokulotshwa egwalweni lokuzalana kwabo bonke ababezangena ethempelini likaThixo besiyakwenza imisebenzi etshiyeneyo kusiya ngemilandu yabo ngezigaba zabo.
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.
Babela abaphristi ngezimuli zabo njengokulotshiweyo egwalweni lokuzalana kwabo njalo kwabanjalo lakubaLevi abaleminyaka engamatshumi amabili yokuzalwa labadala, kusiya ngemisebenzi yabo langezigaba zabo.
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.
Lokhu kwakuhlanganisa abantwana, abesifazane kanye lamadodana lamadodakazi esigaba sonke kwabasegwalweni lokuzalana kwabo. Ngoba babethembekile ngokuzahlala bengcwele.
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.
Abaphristi abayinzalo ka-Aroni, ababehlala eziqintini eduzane lamadolobho loba kwamanye amadolobho, babeqanjwe ngamabizo ukuthi babelane iziqa baze babele lalabo bonke ababelotshiwe ezingwalweni zokuzalana kwabaLevi.
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.
Lokhu yikho okwenziwa nguHezekhiya kulolonke elakoJuda, esenza okufaneleyo lokulungileyo ngokwethemba kuThixo uNkulunkulu wakhe.
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.
Kukho konke ayekwenza emsebenzini wethempeli likaNkulunkulu lasekulaleleni kwakhe umthetho lemilayo, wadinga uNkulunkulu njalo wasebenza ngenhliziyo yakhe yonke. Ngalokho waphumelela.
