2 Maũndũ 31
1 Rĩrĩa maũndũ macio mothe maathirire-rĩ, andũ a Isiraeli arĩa maarĩ hau makiumagara magĩthiĩ matũũra-inĩ ma Juda, makĩhehenja mahiga marĩa mamũrĩirwo ngai cia mĩhianano na magĩtemanga itugĩ cia Ashera. Ningĩ makĩananga kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru kwahooyagĩrwo o na igongona iria ciarĩ Juda guothe na Benjamini, o na kũu Efiraimu na Manase. Thuutha wa gũcithũkangia ciothe, andũ a Isiraeli magĩcooka matũũra-inĩ mao na o mũndũ agĩcooka igai-inĩ rĩake.
And when all these things were finished, all Israel that were found in the cities of Juda went out, and broke in pieces the pillars, and cut down the groves, and tore down the high places and the altars out of all Judea and Benjamin, also of Ephraim and Manasse, till they made an end: and all Israel returned, every one to his inheritance, and to their cities.
2 Hezekia agĩkĩiga athĩnjĩri-Ngai na Alawii na ikundi, o gĩkundi kũringana na wĩra wakĩo, marĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai kana Alawii, marutage maruta ma njino na ma ũiguano, ningĩ matungatage, na macookagie ngaatho, na mainage nyĩmbo cia ũgooci marĩ ihingo-inĩ cia gĩikaro kĩa Jehova.
And Ezekias appointed the courses of the priests and the Levites, and the courses of each one according to his ministry, to the priests and to the Levites, for the whole burnt offering, and for the peace-offering, and to praise, and to give thanks, and to minister in the gates, [and] in the courts of the house of the Lord.
3 Mũthamaki nĩaheanire indo ciake mwene cia kũrutagwo maruta ma njino ma rũciinĩ na ma hwaĩ-inĩ, na maruta ma njino ma Thabatũ, na ma Tũrũgamo twa Mweri, na ma ciathĩ-inĩ iria ciatuĩtwo, o ta ũrĩa kwaandĩkĩtwo Watho-inĩ wa Jehova.
And the king's proportion out of his substance [was appointed] for the whole burnt offerings, the morning and the evening one, and the whole burnt offerings for the sabbaths, and for the new moons, and for the feasts that were ordered in the law of the Lord.
4 Agĩatha andũ arĩa maatũũraga Jerusalemu maheage athĩnjĩri-Ngai na Alawii rwĩga rũrĩa rwamagĩrĩire, nĩgeetha nao mahotage kwĩheana harĩ Watho wa Jehova.
And they told the people who lived in Jerusalem, to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might be strong in the ministry of the house of the Lord.
5 Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa watho ũcio wamenyekire-rĩ, andũ a Isiraeli makĩheana na ũtaana maciaro mao ma mbere ma ngano, na ma ndibei ya mũhihano, na maguta, na ũũkĩ, na maciaro ma mĩgũnda yao. Makĩrehe indo nyingĩ mũno o na gĩcunjĩ gĩa ikũmi kĩa indo ciothe.
And as he gave the command, Israel brought abundantly first fruits of corn, and wine, and oil, and honey, and every fruit of the field: and the children of Israel and Juda brought tithes of everything abundantly.
6 Nao andũ a Isiraeli na Juda arĩa maatũũraga matũũra-inĩ ma Juda o nao makĩrehe gĩcunjĩ gĩa ikũmi kĩa ndũũru ciao cia ngʼombe na ngʼondu, o na gĩcunjĩ gĩa ikũmi kĩa indo iria ciamũrĩirwo Jehova Ngai wao, nao magĩciiga irũndo.
And they that lived in the cities of Juda themselves also brought tithes of calves and sheep, and tithes of goats, and consecrated them to the Lord their God, and they brought them and laid them in heaps.
7 Maambĩrĩirie gwĩka ũndũ ũyũ mweri wa ĩtatũ na makĩrĩkia mweri wa mũgwanja.
In the third month the heaps began to be piled, and in the seventh month they were finished.
8 Rĩrĩa Hezekia na anene ake mookire na makĩona irũndo icio, makĩgooca Jehova na makĩrathima andũ ake a Isiraeli.
And Ezekias and the princes came and saw the heaps, and blessed the Lord, and his people Israel.
9 Hezekia akĩũria athĩnjĩri-Ngai na Alawii ũhoro wa irũndo icio;
Then Ezekias enquired of the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps.
10 nake Azaria mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene wa kuuma nyũmba ya Zadoku akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Kuuma andũ maambĩrĩria kũrehe mĩhothi yao hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova-rĩ, nĩtũkoretwo tũrĩ na irio cia kũigana kũrĩa, o na tũgatigia nyingĩ mũno, nĩ ũndũ Jehova nĩarathimĩte andũ ake, na irio ici nyingĩ ũũ igagĩtigara.”
And Azarias the priest, the chief over the house of Sadoc, spoke to him, and said, From the time that the first fruits began to be brought into the house of the Lord, we have eaten and drunk, and left even abundantly; for the Lord has blessed his people, and we have left to this amount.
11 Hezekia agĩathana gwakwo makũmbĩ kũu thĩinĩ wa hekarũ ya Jehova, na gũgĩĩkwo ũguo.
And Ezekias told them yet farther to prepare chambers for the house of the Lord; and they prepared [them],
12 Nao magĩcooka makĩrehe mĩhothi na wĩhokeku, na icunjĩ cia ikũmi, na iheo iria nyamũre. Konania ũrĩa Mũlawii nĩwe watuirwo mũrori wa indo icio, nake mũrũ wa ithe Shimei nĩwe warĩ mũnini wake.
and they brought there the first fruits and the tithes faithfully: and Chonenias the Levite was superintendent over them, and Semei his brother was next.
13 Jehieli, na Azazia, na Nahathu, na Asaheli, na Jerimothu, na Jozabadu, na Elieli, na Isimakia, na Mahathu, na Benaia nĩo maarĩ arũgamĩrĩri rungu rwa Konania na mũrũ wa ithe Shimei, ta ũrĩa gwatuĩtwo nĩ Mũthamaki Hezekia na Azaria ũrĩa warĩ mũnene wa hekarũ ya Ngai.
and Jeiel, and Ozias, and Naeth, and Asael, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Samachia, and Maath, and Banaias, and his sons, were appointed by Chonenias and Semei his brother, as Ezekias the king, and Azarias who was over the house of the Lord commanded.
14 Kore mũrũ wa Imuna ũrĩa Mũlawii, mũikaria wa Kĩhingo kĩa Mwena wa Irathĩro, nĩwe warĩ mũrori wa indo iria ciarutagĩrwo Ngai na kwĩyendera, akagayaga mĩhothi ĩrĩa ĩrutĩirwo Jehova hamwe na iheo iria nyamũre.
And Core, the [son] of Jemna the Levite, the porter eastward, [was] over the gifts, to distribute the first fruits of the Lord, and the most holy things,
15 Edeni, na Miniamini, na Jeshua, na Shemaia, na Amaria, na Shekania nĩo maamũteithagĩrĩria marĩ na wĩhokeku kũu matũũra-inĩ ma athĩnjĩri-Ngai, na makagayagĩra athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa angĩ o ta ũrĩa ikundi ciao ciatariĩ, makagaĩra arĩa akũrũ na arĩa anini o ũndũ ũmwe.
by the hand of Odom, and Benjamin, and Jesus, and Semei, and Amarias, and Sechonias, by the hand of the priests faithfully, to give to their brethren according to the courses, as well to great as small;
16 Hamwe na ũguo makĩgaĩra arũme arĩa maarĩ na mĩaka ĩtatũ na makĩria arĩa marĩĩtwa mao maarĩ maandĩko-inĩ ma njiarwa, nao nĩo andũ arĩa othe maangĩatoonyire hekarũ-nĩ ya Jehova nĩ ũndũ wa kũruta mawĩra mao ma o mũthenya, ta ũrĩa wĩra wa o mũndũ watariĩ na kũringana na ikundi ciao.
besides the increase of males from three years old and upward, to every one entering into the house of the Lord, [a portion] according to a daily rate, for service in the daily courses of their order.
17 Nao makĩgaĩra athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa maandĩkithĩtio nĩ andũ a nyũmba ciao maandĩko-inĩ ma njiarwa ciao, o na Alawii arĩa maarĩ na mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na makĩria, ta ũrĩa wĩra wa o mũndũ watariĩ na kũringana na ikundi ciao.
This [is] the distribution of the priests according to the houses of their families; and the Levites in their daily courses from twenty years old and upward [were] in [their] order,
18 Maataranĩirie ciana ciothe, na atumia, na ariũ ao, na airĩtu a mũingĩ wothe ũrĩa waandĩkĩtwo maandĩko-inĩ ma njiarwa. Nĩgũkorwo maarĩ ehokeku ũhoro-inĩ wao wa gwĩtheria.
to assign stations for all the increase of their sons and their daughters, for the whole number: for they faithfully sanctified the holy place.
19 Ha ũhoro wa athĩnjĩri-Ngai, o acio a rũciaro rwa Harũni, arĩa maatũũraga mĩgũnda-inĩ ĩrĩa yathiũrũrũkĩirie matũũra mao kana matũũra mangĩ, nĩ kwarĩ na andũ amwe maathuurĩtwo na makagwetwo marĩĩtwa a kũgaĩra arũme othe arĩa maarĩ gatagatĩ-inĩ kao rũgai rwao, na kũrĩ arĩa othe maandĩkĩtwo maandĩko-inĩ ma njiarwa cia Alawii.
As for the sons of Aaron that executed the priests' office, —even those from their cities the men in each several city who were named expressly, —[were appointed] to give a portion to every male among the priests, and to every one reckoned among the Levites.
20 Ũguo nĩguo Hezekia eekire Juda guothe, agĩĩka maũndũ mega, na magĩrĩire na ma kwĩhokeka mbere ya Jehova Ngai wake.
And Ezekias did so through all Juda, and did that which was good and right before the Lord his God.
21 Maũndũ-inĩ mothe marĩa ekaga ma gũtungata hekarũ-inĩ ya Ngai, na harĩ gwathĩkĩra watho na maathani, nĩarongooragia Ngai wake na akĩruta wĩra na ngoro yake yothe. Na nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩgaacĩra.
And in every work which he began in service in the house of the Lord, and in the law, and in the ordinances, he sought his God with all his soul, and wrought, and prospered.
