2 Cronicas 31
1 Ita, idi nalpas amin dagitoy, napan amin dagiti tattao ti Israel kadagiti siudad ti Juda ket binurakburakda dagiti adigi a bato, tinumbada dagiti estatua ni Asera, ken tinumbada dagiti pagdaydayawan ken dagiti altar iti entero a Juda ken Benjamin. Inaramidda met dagitoy idiay Efraim ken Manases, agingga a nadadaelda amin dagitoy. Kalpasanna, nagsubli dagiti amin a tattao ti Israel, tunggal maysa iti bukodna a daga ken bukodna a siudad.
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 Binunggo-bunggoy ni Hezekias dagiti papadi ken insaadna dagiti Levita segun iti pannakabunggo-bunggoyda, naisaad ti tunggal tao iti bukodna a trabaho, dagiti papadi ken dagiti Levita. Dinutokanna ida a mangidatag kadagiti daton a maipuor ken daton a pakikappia, tapno agserbi, agyaman, ken agdaydayaw idiay ruangan ti templo ni Yahweh.
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 Indutokna pay ti daton a maipuor a naggapu iti ari manipud kadagiti bukodna a sanikua, a para iti daton a maipuor iti agsapa ken rabii, ken dagiti daton a maipuor iti Aldaw a Panaginana, kadagiti baro a bulan, ken kadagiti dadduma a fiesta, a kas naisurat iti linteg ni Yahweh.
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 Maysa pay, binilinna dagiti tattao nga agnanaed iti Jerusalem nga itedda ti pannakabingay dagiti papadi ken dagiti Levita, tapno maipasnekda ti agtulnog iti linteg ni Yahweh.
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 Apaman a naibilinna dagiti paglintegan, nabuslon nga inted dagiti tattao ti Israel dagiti umuna a bunga dagiti trigoda, baro nga arak, lana, diro, ken dagiti amin nga apagkapullo ti naapitda iti taltalon; ken uray ti apagkapullo dagiti amin a banbanag ket inyegda idiay a sibubuslon.
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 Inyeg met dagiti tattao ti Israel ken Juda nga agnanaed kadagiti siudad ti Juda ti apagkapullo dagiti baka ken karnero, ken ti apagkapullo dagiti banag a naisagut kenni Yahweh a Diosda, ket inggabsuonda dagitoy.
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 Rinugiananda nga agigabsuon manipud iti maikatlo a bulan ket lineppasda dagitoy iti maikapito a bulan.
They started doing this in the third month, and they finished in the seventh month.
8 Idi dimteng da Hezekias ken dagiti papangulo ket nakitada dagiti nakagabsuon, dinaydayawda ni Yahweh ken binendisionanda dagiti tattao ti Israel.
When Hezekiah and his officials came and saw what had been collected, they thanked the Lord and his people Israel.
9 Kalpasanna, sinaludsod ni Hezekias dagiti papadi ken dagiti Levita maipanggep kadagiti gabsuon.
Hezekiah asked the priests and Levites about what had been collected.
10 Ni Azarias, a panguloen a padi iti balay ni Zadok, simmungbat kenkuana ket kinunana, “Manipud idi rinugian nga iyeg dagiti tattao dagiti sagut iti balay ni Yahweh, nangankami kadagitoy ket adda pay umanay, ken adu pay dagiti natda, ta binendisionan ni Yahweh dagiti tattaona. Ti nabati ket daytoy a dakkel a gabsuon nga adda ditoy.”
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 Kalpasanna, imbilin ni Hezekias a maisagana dagiti pagiduldulinan a siled iti balay ni Yahweh, ket insaganada dagitoy.
Hezekiah ordered the construction of storehouses in the Lord's Temple. Once they were ready,
12 Kalpasanna, sipupudno nga inyunegda dagiti sagut, dagiti apagkapullo ken dagiti banag a kukua ni Yahweh. Ni Conanias, a Levita ti nadutokan a mangimaton kadagitoy, ken ti kabsatna a ni Simei ti katulonganna.
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 Da Jehiel, Azazias, Nahat, Asahel, Jerimot, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismakias, Mahat ken Benaias ket adda iti babaen ni Conanias ken Simei a kabsatna, babaen iti panangdutok ni Hezekias, nga ari, ken Azarias a panguloen a padi iti balay ti Dios.
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 Ni Kore a putot ni Imna a Levita, a guardia iti akindaya a ruangan ti mangimatmaton kadagiti naimpusoan a sagut para iti Dios, mangimatmaton iti pannakaibunong dagiti sagut kenni Yahweh ken dagiti sagut a maidaton kenni Yahweh.
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 Ti adda iti babaenna ket da Eden, Miniamin, Jesua, Semaias, Amarias ken Secanias, kadagiti siudad dagiti papadi. Dagiti mapagtalkan dagiti dinutokanda, tapno maibunongda dagitoy a sagut kadagiti kakabsatda segun iti pannakabunggo-bunggoyda, agpada a kadagiti napateg ken saan a napateg.
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 Inikkanda met dagiti lallaki nga agtawen iti tallo nga agpangato, a maibilang iti listaan dagiti puli-dagiti amin a nakauneg iti balay ni Yahweh, a naituding babaen iti inaldaw a batang, tapno trabahoenda dagiti naidutok kadakuada segun iti pannakabunggo-bunggoyda.
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 Inikkanda dagiti maibilang iti listaan ti puli ti pamiliada, ken dagiti Levita nga agtawen iti 20 nga agpangato, segun iti saad ti pannakabunggo-bunggoyda.
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 Inikkanda dagiti-maibilang iti listaan dagiti pulida-ken dagiti amin nga ubbing nga annakda, dagiti assawada a babbai, dagiti lallaki nga annakda, ken dagiti babbai nga annakda, dagiti amin a tattao-gapu ta indatonda kenni Yahweh dagiti bagbagida iti nasayaat a kababalin para iti naitalek a saadda.
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 Para kadagiti papadi a kaputotan ni Aaron, nga adda kadagiti away a sakup dagiti siudadda, wenno iti tunggal siudad, adda dagiti nadutokan a lallaki segun iti nagan a mangited kadagiti bingay kadagiti amin a lallaki a papadi, ken kadagiti amin a maibilang iti listaan ti puli dagiti Levita.
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 Inaramid daytoy ni Hezekias iti entero a Juda. Inaramidna ti nasayaat, umno, ken napudno iti sangoanan ni Yahweh a Diosna.
This is what Hezekiah did throughout the whole of Judah. He did what was good, right, and true before the Lord his God.
21 Iti amin a trabaho a rinugiananna iti panagserbina iti balay ti Dios, iti linteg, ken kadagiti bilbilin, iti panagtulnogna iti Diosna, inaramidna daytoy iti amin a pusona, ket nagballigi isuna.
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.
