II Oihanaalii 31
1 A PAU ae la keia mau mea a pau, hele iwaho ka Iseraela a pau i hoakoakoaia ma na kulanakauhale o ka Iuda, a kuipalu iho la i na kii, a oki liilii i na kii no Asetarota. a wawahi i na wahi kiekie, a me na kuahu ma Iuda a pau, a me Beniamina, a me Eperaima no hoi, a me Manase, a pau ae la ia mau mea. Alaila, hoi na mamo a Iseraela a pau, kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona aina hooili, i ko lakou mau kulanakauhale iho.
And when these things had been celebrated according to ritual, all of Israel who had been found in the cities of Judah went forth, and they broke apart the idols and cut down the sacred groves. They demolished the high places and destroyed the altars, not only out of all Judah and Benjamin, but also out of Ephraim as well as Manasseh, until they utterly destroyed them. And all the sons of Israel returned to their possessions and cities.
2 A hoonoho o Hezekia i na papa o ka poe kahuna, a me na Levi, e like me ko lakou papa, o kela kanaka keia kanaka e like me kana oihana, i na kahuna a me na Levi ma ka mohaikuni a me na mohai aloha, e lawelawe, a e hoomaikai aku, a e hoolea aku ma na puka o na halelewa o Iehova.
Then Hezekiah appointed the companies of the priests and Levites by their divisions, each man in his proper office, certainly as much for the priests as for the Levites, for the sake of holocausts and peace offerings, so that they might minister and confess and sing, at the gates of the camp of the Lord.
3 Hoomaopopo no hoi oia i kauwahi noloko mai o ka waiwai a ke alii, i mau mohaikuni, i mau mohai no ke kakahiaka, a me ke ahiahi; i mau mohai no na Sabati, a no na mahina hou, a no na ahaaina, e like me ka mea i kakauia iloko o ke kanawai o Iehova.
Now the portion of the king, from his own substance, was such that they could offer a holocaust always, in morning and in evening, also on the Sabbaths, and the new moons, and the other solemnities, just as it was written in the law of Moses.
4 Olelo ia i na kanaka i ka poe i noho ma Ierusalema, e haawi aku i ka haawina o ka poe kahuna, a me na Levi i ikaika lakou ma ke kanawai o Iehova.
And now he instructed the people living in Jerusalem that they were to give portions to the priests and Levites, so that they would be able to attend to the law of the Lord.
5 A hoolahaia keia olelo, hoonui iho la ka poe mamo a Iseraela i ka ohi mua ana o ka ai, a me ka waina, a me ka aila, a me ka meli, a me na mea a pau o ke kihapai i ohiia'i; a lawe nui mai lakou i ka hapaumi o ia mau mea a pau.
And when this had reached the ears of the multitude, the sons of Israel brought an abundance of first-fruits of grain, wine, and oil, and also honey. And they offered a tenth part of all that the soil brings forth.
6 A o na mamo a Iseraela, a me ka Iuda, ka poe noho ma na kulanakauhale o Iuda, lawe mai lakou i ka hapaumi o na bipi, a me na hipa, a me ka hapaumi o na mea laa i hoolaaia ia Iehova ko lakou Akua, a waiho akoakoa lakou ia mau mea, he puu okoa no, a he puu okoa.
Then too, the sons of Israel and Judah, who were living in the cities of Judah, brought tithes of oxen and sheep, and tithes of the holy things that they had vowed to the Lord their God. And carrying all these things, they made many stacks.
7 I ka malama ekolu, hoomaka lakou e hookumu i na puu, a i ka malama ehiku, ua hoopau lakou.
In the third month, they began to lay out the foundations of the stacks. And in the seventh month, they finished them.
8 Alaila, hiki mai o Hezekia, a me na alii, a ike i na puu, a hoomaikai lakou ia Iehova, a i kona poe kanaka i ka Iseraela.
And when Hezekiah and his rulers had entered, they saw the stacks, and they blessed the Lord and the people of Israel.
9 Ninau o Hezekia i na kahuna a me na Levi no na puu.
And Hezekiah questioned the priests and Levites, as to why the stacks were laid out in this way.
10 Hai mai o Azaria, ke kahuna nui, no ka hale o Zadoka, i mai la, Mai ka hoomaka ana mai e lawe i ka mohai iloko o ka hale o Iehova, he ai no a maona, a koe no ka nui; no ka mea, ua hoomaikai mai o Iehova i kona poe kanaka; a eia ke koena, o keia mea he nui no.
Azariah, the high priest from the stock of Zadok, answered him, saying: “Since the first-fruits began to be offered in the house of the Lord, we have eaten and been satisfied, and much remains. For the Lord has blessed his people. Then what was left over is this great abundance, which you see.”
11 Alaila, kauoha o Hezekia e hoomakaukau i na keena oluna ma ka hale o Iehova: a hoomakaukau iho la lakou,
And so Hezekiah instructed that they should prepare storage places for the house of the Lord. And when they had done so,
12 A lawe iloko no lakou me ka oiaio i na makana, a me ka hookupu hapaumi, a me na mea i hoolaaia; a o ka luna maluna o keia mau mea oia o Konania ka Levi, a o Simei o kona hoahanau ka lua.
they faithfully brought in the first-fruits, as well as the tithes and all that they had vowed. Now the overseer of these things was Conaniah, a Levite; and his brother, Shimei, was second.
13 A o Iehiela, a me Azaria, a me Nahata, o Asahela a me Iremota, a me Iozabada, o Eliela, a me Isemakia, a o Mahata, a me Benaia oia ka poe luna, malalo iho o Konania, a me Simei, kona hoahanau, ma ke kanawai o Hezekia ke alii, a me Azaria, ka luna o ka hale o ke Akua.
And after him, there was Jehiel, and Azariah, and Nahath, and Asaahel, and Jerimoth, and also Jozabad, and Eliel, and Ismachiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah, who were overseers under the hands of Conaniah, and his brother, Shimei, by the authority of Hezekiah, the king, and Azariah, the high priest of the house of God, to whom all these things belonged.
14 A o Kore ke keiki a Imena o ka Levi, ka mea kiai puka ma ka hikina, maluna oia o na makana no ke Akua, e haawi i na makana no Iehova a me na mea i hoolaa loa ia.
Yet truly, Kore, the son of Imnah, a Levite and the porter of the eastern gate, was the overseer of the things that were being offered freely to the Lord, and of the first-fruits, and of the things consecrated for the Holy of Holies.
15 A mahope ona, o Edena, a me Miniamina, a me Iesua, a me Semaia, a me Amaria, a me Sikania, ma na kulanakauhale o na kahuna, e haawi maopopo na ko lakou poe hoahanau, ma na papa, e like me ka mea nui, pela no ka mea uuku.
And under his charge were Eden, and Benjamin, Jeshua, and Shemaiah, and also Amariah, and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, so that they would distribute faithfully to their brothers, the small as well as the great, their portions
16 A okoa ka haawi ana ma ko lakou kuauhau mai ka poe kane o na makahiki ekolu, a maluna ae, a hiki i ka poe a pau i komo iloko o ka hale o Iehova, i wahi mea i kela la keia la, no ko lakou lawelawe ana ma ka lakou mau oihana e like me ko lakou mau papa;
(except for the males from three years old and upward) for all who were entering the temple of the Lord, and for whatever was needed for the ministry, throughout each day, as well as for the observances according to their divisions.
17 A me ke kuauhau o na kahuna e like me ko ka hale o ko lakou poe kupuna, a i na Levi, mai ka makahiki iwakalua a oi aku, ma ka lakou mau oihana, a me ko lakou mau papa:
And so, for the priests, by their families, and for the Levites, from the twentieth year and upward, by their orders and companies,
18 A me ke kuauhau o ka lakou poe keiki liilii, a me ka lakou mau wahine, a me ka lakou poe keikikane, a me ka lakou poe kaikamahine, i ka ahakanaka a pau; no ka mea, e like me ka mea mau ia lakou, huikala iho la lakou ia lakou iho:
and for the entire multitude, as much for the wives as for their children of both sexes, provisions were offered faithfully from whatever had been sanctified.
19 A i ka poe mamo a Aarona ke kahuna ma na kula, kahi e pili ana i ko lakou mau kulanakauhale, ma kela kulanakauhale, keia kulanakauhale, o na kanaka i kapaia ko lakou mau inoa, e haawi i na makana na ka poe kane a pau o na kahuna, a na na Levi a pau i kuauhauia.
Then too, men were appointed of the sons of Aaron, throughout the fields and the suburbs of each city, who would distribute portions to all the males among the priests and Levites.
20 Pela i hana'i o Hezekia ma Iuda a pau, hana maikai no ia, a me ka pololei, a me ka oiaio imua o Iehova, kona Akua.
Therefore, Hezekiah did all these things (which we have said) in all of Judah. And he worked what is good and upright and true before the Lord his God,
21 I na hana a pau ana i hoomaka'i, i mea e hookauwa aku ai na ka hale o ke Akua, a me ke kanawai, a me ke kauoha, e imi aku i kona Akua, me kona naau a pau oia kana i hana'i, a ua kokuaia mai.
for the whole service of the ministry of the house of the Lord, in accord with the law and the ceremonies, desiring to seek his God with his whole heart. And he did so, and he prospered.
