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.
When all this had finished, the Israelites who were there went to the towns of Judah and smashed the pagan pillars, cut down the Asherah poles, and destroyed the high places and altars throughout Judah and Benjamin, as well as in Ephraim and Manasseh, until they had completely demolished all of them. After that they all went home to their respective towns.
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 reallocated the divisions of the priests and Levites, each according to their service: presenting burnt offerings and friendship offerings, serving, giving thanks, and singing praises at the entrances of the Lord's Temple.
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.
The king contributed personally towards the morning and evening burnt offerings, and for the burnt offerings on the Sabbaths, new moons, and special feasts, as required by the Law of the Lord.
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.
He also ordered the people living in Jerusalem to provide for the priests and Levites so that they could dedicate themselves to studying and teaching 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.
As soon as the message went out, the Israelites generously gave the firstfruits of the grain, new wine, olive oil, and honey, and of all the crops. They brought plenty, a tithe of everything.
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.
The people of Israel now living in Judah, and the people of Judah brought a tithe of their herds and flocks. They also brought a tithe of what had been dedicated to the Lord their God, and piled them up.
7 I ka malama ekolu, hoomaka lakou e hookumu i na puu, a i ka malama ehiku, ua hoopau lakou.
They started doing this in the third month, and they finished in the seventh month.
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.
When Hezekiah and his officials came and saw what had been collected, they thanked the Lord and his people Israel.
9 Ninau o Hezekia i na kahuna a me na Levi no na puu.
Hezekiah asked the priests and Levites about what had been collected.
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 chief priest of the family of Zadok, answered, “Ever since the people began to bring their contributions into the Lord's Temple, we have had enough to eat and plenty to spare. Because the Lord has blessed his people there is so much left over.”
11 Alaila, kauoha o Hezekia e hoomakaukau i na keena oluna ma ka hale o Iehova: a hoomakaukau iho la lakou,
Hezekiah ordered the construction of storehouses in the Lord's Temple. Once they were ready,
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.
the people faithfully brought in their offerings, tithes, and dedicated gifts. Conaniah the Levite was the one who was responsible for them, and his brother Shimei was second in command.
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.
They were in charge of the following officers: Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismachiah, Mahath, and Benaiah were overseers who assisted Conaniah and Shimei his brother. They were appointed by King Hezekiah and Azariah, the chief officer of God's Temple.
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.
Kore, son of Imnah, the Levite, the gatekeeper of the East Gate, was responsible for receiving the freewill offerings given to God. He also distributed the offerings given to the Lord, together with the consecrated gifts.
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.
Under him were his assistants Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah. They faithfully made the allocations to their fellow Levites in their towns, according to the priestly divisions, sharing equally with the old and young.
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;
They also gave allowances to the males listed in the genealogy who were three years of age or older, to all who would enter the Lord's Temple to perform their daily duties of serving according to the responsibilities of 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:
They also gave allowances to the priests listed by family in the genealogy, and to the Levites twenty years of age or older, according to the responsibilities of their divisions.
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:
The genealogy included all the babies, wives, sons, and daughters of the whole community, for they were faithful in making sure they dedicated themselves as holy.
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.
In the case of the priests, the descendants of Aaron, those who lived on the farmlands around their towns, men were appointed by name in all the towns to distribute an allocation to every male among the priests and to every Levite as listed in the genealogies.
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.
This is what Hezekiah did throughout the whole of Judah. He did what was good, right, 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.
In everything he did in working for God's Temple and in following God's laws and commandments, Hezekiah was sincere in his commitment to God. So he was successful in all he did.
