2 Ihe E Mere 29
1 Hezekaya gbara iri afọ abụọ na ise mgbe ọ malitere ị bụ eze. Ọ chịrị iri afọ abụọ na itoolu na Jerusalem. Aha nne ya bụ Abija, ada Zekaraya.
Hezekiah began to reigne, when he was fiue and twentie yeere olde, and reigned nine and twentie yeres in Ierusalem: and his mothers name was Abiiah the daughter of Zechariah.
2 O mere ihe ziri ezi nʼanya Onyenwe anyị dịka nna nna ya Devid mere.
And hee did vprightly in the sight of the Lord, according to all that Dauid his father had done.
3 Nʼọnwa mbụ nke afọ ahụ e mere ya eze ka o meghere ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị, mezie ime ya.
He opened the doores of the house of the Lord in the first yeere, and in the first moneth of his reigne, and repared them.
4 Ọ kpọrọ ndị Livayị, na ndị nchụaja niile oku nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ nke ụlọnsọ ukwu Chineke,
And he brought in the Priests and the Leuites, and gathered them into the East streete,
5 gwa ha okwu sị ha, “Geenụ m ntị unu ndị Livayị, doonụ onwe unu nsọ, dokwaanụ ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị Chineke nna nna unu nsọ. Wezuganụ ihe arụ niile dị nʼebe nsọ nke ụlọnsọ ahụ.
And said vnto them, Heare me, ye Leuites: sanctifie nowe your selues, and sanctifie the house of the Lord God of your fathers, and cary forth the filthinesse out of the Sanctuarie.
6 Nʼihi na nna anyị ha bụ ndị na-ekwesighị ntụkwasị obi; ha mere ihe jọrọ njọ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke anyị, hapụ ya. Ha wepụrụ ihu ha site nʼebe obibi Onyenwe anyị, gbakụtakwa ya azụ.
For our fathers haue trespassed, and done euill in the eyes of the Lord our God, and haue forsaken him, and turned away their faces from the Tabernacle of the Lord, and turned their backes.
7 Ha mechikwara ụzọ ndị e si abanye na mpụta ọnụ ụlọ ahụ, menyụọkwa ọkụ dị nʼime ya. E sureekwaghị ihe nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ, ọ dịkwaghị aja nsure ọkụ ọbụla a chụrụ nye Chineke nke Izrel.
They haue also shut the doores of ye porch, and quenched the lampes, and haue neither burnt incense, nor offred burnt offrings in the Sanctuarie vnto the God of Israel.
8 Nʼihi nke a ka iwe Onyenwe anyị ji dakwasị Juda na Jerusalem. O meela ka ha buru ihe oke egwu, na oke ihere na oke ụjọ, dịka unu jirila anya unu hụ.
Wherfore the wrath of the Lord hath bin on Iudah and Ierusalem: and he hath made them a scattering, a desolation, and an hissing, as ye see with your eyes.
9 E gburu nna anyị ha nʼagha, dọtakwa ndị nwunye anyị na ụmụ okorobịa na ụmụ agbọghọbịa anyị nʼagha nʼihi ya.
For lo, our fathers are fallen by the sword, and our sonnes, and our daughters, and our wiues are in captiuitie for the same cause.
10 Ma ugbu a, achọrọ m ka anyị na Onyenwe anyị Chineke nke Izrel gbaa ndụ, ka iwe ya jụrụ nʼebe anyị nọ.
Now I purpose to make a couenant with the Lord God of Israel, that he may turne away his fierce wrath from vs.
11 Ụmụ m, o kwesighị ka unu gbakụta ọrụ unu azụ ọzọ, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị họpụtara unu iguzo nʼihu ya, na ijere ya ozi, na ịrụ ọrụ nʼihu ya, na ịchụrụ ya aja ihe nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ.”
Now my sonnes, be not deceiued: for the Lord hath chosen you to stand before him, to serue him, and to be his ministers, and to burne incense.
12 Nʼoge a ndị Livayị ndị a malitere ọrụ: site nʼikwu Kohat: Mahat na Amasai, na Juel nwa Azaraya; nʼikwu Merari: Kish nwa Abdi, na Azaraya nwa Jehalelel; nʼikwu Geshọn: Joa nwa Zima, na Eden nwa Joa;
Then the Leuites arose, Mahath ye sonne of Amashai, and Ioel the sonne of Azariah of the sonnes of the Kohathites: and of the sonnes of Merari, Kish the sonne of Abdi, and Azariah the sonne of Iehalelel: and of the Gershonites, Ioah the sonne of Zimmah, and Eden the sonne of Ioah:
13 nʼikwu Elizafan: Shimri, na Jeiel; nʼikwu Asaf: Zekaraya, na Matanaya;
And of the sonnes of Elizaphan, Shimri, and Iehiel: and of the sonnes of Asaph, Zechariah, and Mattaniah:
14 nʼikwu Heman: Jehiel, na Shimei; nʼikwu Jedutun: Shemaya, na Uziel.
And of the sonnes of Heman, Iehiel, and Shimei: and of the sonnes of Ieduthun, Shemaiah and Vzziel.
15 Mgbe ha kpọkọtara ụmụnna ha bụ ndị Livayị, dokwaa onwe ha ọcha, ha bara ido ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị nsọ, dịka eze nyere nʼiwu, nʼusoro okwu Onyenwe anyị si dị.
And they gathered their brethren, and sanctified themselues and came according to the commandement of the King, and by the words of the Lord, for to clense the house of the Lord.
16 Ndị nchụaja banyere nʼime ebe nsọ ahụ ido ya nsọ. Ihe niile na-adịghị ọcha ha hụrụ nʼime ya ka ha wepụtasịrị nʼogige ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị ahụ. Ndị Livayị buuru ha gaa bufuo na Ndagwurugwu Kidrọn.
And the Priests went into the inner partes of the house of the Lord, to clense it, and brought out all the vncleannesse that they founde in the Temple of the Lord, into the court of the house of the Lord: and the Leuites tooke it, to cary it out vnto the brooke Kidron.
17 Ha bidoro mmemme ido nsọ a nʼabalị mbụ nʼọnwa nke mbụ. Nʼabalị nke asatọ ha ruru na mpụta ọnụ ụlọ nke ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị. Ma o were ha abalị asatọ ọzọ idochasị ụlọnsọ ahụ nsọ maka ofufe, ha jezuru ozi niile nʼabalị iri na isii nke ọnwa mbụ ahụ.
They began the first day of the first moneth to sanctifie it, and the eight day of the moneth came they to the porche of the Lord: so they sanctified the house of the Lord in eight dayes, and in the sixeteenth day of the first moneth they made an ende.
18 Mgbe ahụ, ha bakwuru eze bụ Hezekaya kọọrọ ya sị, “Anyị emeela ebe niile nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị ka ọ dị nsọ, ebe ịchụ aja nke aja nsure ọkụ na ngwongwo ya, na tebul ịdọba achịcha e doro nsọ, na ihe niile dị nʼime ya.
Then they went in to Hezekiah ye King, and sayde, We haue clensed all the house of the Lord and the altar of burnt offring, with all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread table, with all the vessels thereof:
19 Ọzọ, anyị edoziela ma dokwaa ngwongwo ahụ niile nsọ, bụ nke eze Ehaz wepụrụ nʼihi ekwesighị ntụkwasị obi ya mgbe ọ bụ eze. Ha dịkwa ugbu a nʼihu ebe ịchụ aja nke Onyenwe anyị.”
And all the vessels which King Ahaz had cast aside when he reigned, and transgressed, haue we prepared and sanctified: and beholde, they are before the altar of the Lord.
20 Nʼụtụtụ echi ya, eze bụ Hezekaya kpọkọtara ndịisi obodo niile, gaa nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị ahụ.
And Hezekiah the King rose early, and gathered the princes of the citie, and went vp to the house of the Lord.
21 Ha wetara oke ehi asaa, na ebule asaa, na ụmụ ebule asaa, na mkpi asaa, maka ịchụ aja mmehie nʼihi alaeze ahụ, maka ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ, na ala Juda. Eze nyere ndị nchụaja bụ ụmụ Erọn iwu sị ha gbuo anụ ụlọ ndị ahụ nʼebe ịchụ aja nye Onyenwe anyị.
And they brought seuen bullockes, and seuen rammes, and seuen lambes, and seuen hee goates, for a sinne offring for the kingdome, and for the sanctuarie, and for Iudah. And he commanded the Priests the sonnes of Aaron, to offer them on the altar of the Lord.
22 Ya mere, ha gburu oke ehi ahụ niile. Ndị nchụaja fesara ọbara ha nʼelu ebe ịchụ aja. Ha gbukwara ebule ndị ahụ fesa ọbara ha nʼebe ịchụ aja, gbukwaa ụmụ atụrụ ndị ahụ fesakwa ọbara ha nʼebe ịchụ aja.
So they slewe the bullockes, and the Priests receiued the blood, and sprinkled it vpon the altar: they slew also the rammes and sprinkled the blood vpon the altar, and they slew the lambes, and they sprinkled the blood vpon the altar.
23 Ha wetara mkpi ndị ahụ eji achụ aja mmehie nʼihu eze na ọgbakọ ahụ, ha bikwasịkwara ha aka nʼelu.
Then they brought the hee goates for the sinne offring before the King and the Congregation, and they layde their hands vpon them.
24 Ndị nchụaja gburu mkpi ndị ahụ, chee ọbara ha nʼelu ebe nchụaja maka ikpuchi mmehie ndị Izrel niile. Nʼihi na eze nyere iwu ka a chụọ aja nsure ọkụ na aja mmehie nʼihi ndị Izrel niile.
And the Priests slewe them, and with the blood of them they clensed the altar to reconcile all Israel: for the King had commanded for all Israel the burnt offring and the sinne offring.
25 O mere ka ụfọdụ ndị Livayị nọdụ nʼụlọnsọ ahụ, dịka ndị na-abụ abụ. O nyere ha ogene, na une, na ụbọ akwara. O mere nke a nʼusoro dịka Devid na Gad, bụ ọhụ ụzọ eze, na Netan, bụ onye amụma, nke a bụ dịka Onyenwe anyị nyererịị nʼiwu site nʼaka ndị amụma ya.
He appointed also the Leuites in the house of the Lord with cymbales, with violes, and with harpes, according to the commandement of Dauid, and Gad the Kings Seer, and Nathan the Prophet: for the commandement was by the hande of the Lord, and by the hande of his Prophets.
26 Ya mere, ndị Livayị ji ihe egwu Devid ndị ahụ niile guzoro na njikere, ma ndị nchụaja jikwa opi ha nke ha na-afụ.
And the Leuites stood with the instruments of Dauid, and the Priests with the trumpets.
27 Hezekaya nyere iwu ka a chụọ aja nsure ọkụ ahụ nʼelu ebe ịchụ aja. Mgbe a malitere isure aja ahụ ọkụ, a malitekwara ịbụ abụ nye Onyenwe anyị, na ịfụ opi na iti ihe egwu niile nke Devid, eze Izrel.
And Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt offring vpon the altar: and when the burnt offring began, the song of the Lord beganne with the trumpets, and the instruments of Dauid King of Israel.
28 Nʼoge mmemme ọchụchụ aja ahụ, mmadụ niile kpọrọ isiala nye Chineke, mgbe ndị abụ na-abụ abụ, ndị opi na-afụkwa opi ha. Ihe niile a nọ na-eme tutu ruo mgbe a chụsịrị aja niile ahụ.
And al the Congregation worshipped, singing a song, and they blew the trumpets: all this continued vntill the burnt offring was finished.
29 Mgbe ha chụchara aja ndị ahụ, eze na ndị niile nọ nʼebe ahụ gburu ikpere nʼala, kpọkwaa isiala.
And when they had made an ende of offring, the King and all that were present with him, bowed themselues, and worshipped.
30 Eze Hezekaya na ndịisi ozi ya nyere iwu ka ndị Livayị bụọ ụfọdụ nʼime abụ ọma Devid, na nke Asaf onye amụma, maka iji ya too Onyenwe anyị. Ha mere otu a, kpọọkwa isiala nye Chineke.
Then Hezekiah the King and the princes commanded the Leuites to prayse the Lord with the wordes of Dauid, and of Asaph the Seer. so they praysed with ioy, and they bowed themselues, and worshipped.
31 Emesịa, Hezekaya sịrị, “Ugbu a unu edoola onwe unu nsọ nye Onyenwe anyị, bịanụ nso, webatanụ aja na onyinye ekele nʼime ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị.” Ya mere, nzukọ ahụ niile wetaara aja na onyinye ekele ha, ndị niile nwere mkpebi nʼobi ha wetara aja nsure ọkụ.
And Hezekiah spake, and sayde, Now ye haue consecrate your selues to the Lord: come neere and bring the sacrifices and offerings of prayse into the house of the Lord. And the Congregation brought sacrifices; and offrings of prayses, and euery man that was willing in heart, offred burnt offrings.
32 Ọnụọgụgụ anụ ụlọ niile ha wetara bụ ndị a: iri oke ehi asaa, na narị ebule, na narị ụmụ ebule abụọ, ka e wetara maka aja nsure ọkụ nye Onyenwe anyị.
And the nomber of the burnt offrings, which the Congregation brought, was seuentie bullockes, an hundreth rammes, and two hundreth lambes: all these were for a burnt offring to the Lord:
33 Anụ ndị e doro nsọ maka ịchụ aja dị narị oke ehi isii na atụrụ na ewu dị puku atọ.
And for sanctification sixe hundreth bullockes, and three thousand sheepe.
34 Ma ndị nchụaja dị ole na ole, ha apụghịkwa ịgba akpụkpọ anụ niile ahụ maka aja nsure ọkụ, nʼihi ya, ụmụnne ha bụ ndị Livayị nyeere ha aka tutu ruo mgbe ozi ahụ gwụsịrị, ruokwa mgbe e doro ndị nchụaja ndị ọzọ nsọ. Nʼihi na ndị Livayị nwere obi ziri ezi karịa ndị nchụaja ido onwe ha nsọ.
But the Priests were too few, and were not able to flay all the burnt offrings: therefore their brethren the Leuites did helpe them, til they had ended the worke, and vntill other Priests were sanctified: for the Leuites were more vpright in heart to sanctifie themselues, then the Priests.
35 Aja nsure ọkụ bara ụba, tinyere abụba nke aja udo niile, na aja ihe ọṅụṅụ nke so aja nsure ọkụ ndị a. Ọ bụ nʼụzọ dị otu a ka e si weghachite ije ozi na ịchụ aja nke na-adị nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị.
And also the burnt offerings were many with the fat of the peace offrings and the drinke offrings for the burnt offring. so the seruice of the house of the Lord was set in order.
36 Hezekaya na ndị Juda niile ṅụrịrị ọṅụ nʼihi ihe Chineke doziri nye ndị ya, nʼihi na ihe niile ndị a mere ngwangwa.
Then Hezekiah reioyced and all the people, that God had made the people so ready: for the thing was done suddenly.
