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.
Now, when all this was finished, all Israel who were present went forth unto the cities of Judah, and brake in pieces the pillars—and cut down the Sacred Stems—and threw down the high places and the altars, out of all Judah and Benjamin—and throughout Ephraim and Manasseh, until they had made an end, —then all the sons of Israel returned every man to his own possession, unto their own 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 Hezekiah appointed the courses of the priests, and the Levites, over their courses, every man according to the requirements of his service, both priests and Levites, for ascending-sacrifice and for peace-offerings, —to be in attendance and to give thanks and to offer praise, in the gates of the camps of Yahweh;
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.
also the portion of the king out of his own substance, for the ascending-sacrifices, —[even] for the ascending-sacrifices of the morning and of the evening, and the ascending-sacrifices for the sabbaths, and for the new moons and for the appointed feasts, —as written in the law of Yahweh.
4 Agĩatha andũ arĩa maatũũraga Jerusalemu maheage athĩnjĩri-Ngai na Alawii rwĩga rũrĩa rwamagĩrĩire, nĩgeetha nao mahotage kwĩheana harĩ Watho wa Jehova.
And he bade the people who were dwelling in Jerusalem give the portion of the priests and the Levites, —to the end they might persevere in the law of Yahweh.
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 soon as the thing spread abroad, the sons of Israel caused to abound the firstfruit of corn, new wine, and oil, and honey, and all the increase of the field, -yea, the tithe of all—in abundance, brought they in.
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, as for the sons of Israel and Judah who were dwelling in the cities of Judah, even they, a tithe of oxen, and sheep, and a tithe of hallowed things, which had been hallowed unto Yahweh their God, did bring in and pile up—heaps, heaps.
7 Maambĩrĩirie gwĩka ũndũ ũyũ mweri wa ĩtatũ na makĩrĩkia mweri wa mũgwanja.
In the third month, began they the heaps, at the foundation, —and, in the seventh, they finished.
8 Rĩrĩa Hezekia na anene ake mookire na makĩona irũndo icio, makĩgooca Jehova na makĩrathima andũ ake a Isiraeli.
And Hezekiah and the rulers came, and saw the heaps, —and blessed Yahweh, and his people Israel.
9 Hezekia akĩũria athĩnjĩri-Ngai na Alawii ũhoro wa irũndo icio;
Then applied Hezekiah unto 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 Azariah, the chief priest of the house of Zadok, spake unto him, —and said—From the time of beginning to bring in, the heave-offering, into the house of Yahweh—to eat and to be full, there hath still been left, even to this abundance. For, Yahweh, hath blessed his people, and, that which is left, is this great plenty.
11 Hezekia agĩathana gwakwo makũmbĩ kũu thĩinĩ wa hekarũ ya Jehova, na gũgĩĩkwo ũguo.
Then Hezekiah gave word to prepare chambers, in the house of Yahweh, 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 brought in the heave-offering and the tithe and the hallowed things, faithfully, —and, over them, as chief ruler, was Cononiah the Levite, and Shimei his brother, 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 Jehiel and Azaziah and Nahath and Asahel and Jerimoth and Jozabad, and Eliel and Ismachiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah, —overseers under the direction of Cononiah and Shemei his brother, by the appointment of Hezekiah the king, and Azariah the chief ruler of the house of God.
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, Kore, son of Imnah the Levite, the door-keeper on the east, was over the freewill offerings of God, —to give the heave-offering of Yahweh, 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.
And, under his direction, were Eden and Miniamin and Jeshua and Shemaiah, Amariah and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, in trust to give unto their brethren by courses, as the great so the 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 registering them by males, from three years old and upward, unto every one that entered into the house of Yahweh, in the need of a day upon its day, —by their service, in their watches, according to their courses:
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.
both the registering of the priests, by their ancestral houses, and the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, —in their watches, in their courses;
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.
even to the registering of all their little ones, their wives and their sons and their daughters, unto all the convocation, —for, in their trust, they hallowed themselves in holiness;
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.
also unto the sons of Aaron the priests in the fields of the pasture land of their cities, in every several city, men who were expressed by name, —to give portions to every male among the priests, and to all registered among the Levites.
20 Ũguo nĩguo Hezekia eekire Juda guothe, agĩĩka maũndũ mega, na magĩrĩire na ma kwĩhokeka mbere ya Jehova Ngai wake.
And Hezekiah did thus, throughout all Judah, —and he did that which was good and right and faithful, before Yahweh 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 all the work which he began in the service of the house of God—and in the law—and in the commandment, to seek unto his God, with all his heart, he wrought, and prospered.
