2 Kroniku 29

1 Hagi Hezekaia 25'a kafu hu'neno Juda vahe kini efore huno 29ni'a kafufi Jerusalemi kumatera kinia mani'ne. Hagi nerera'a Zekaraia mofakino agi'a Abija'e.

Hezekiah was 25 years old when he became the king [of Judah]. He ruled from Jerusalem for 29 years. His mother was Abijah, the daughter of [a man whose name was] Zechariah.

2 Hagi agra Ra Anumzamofo avurera negeho Deviti'ma hu'neaza huno fatgo avu'ava hu'ne.

Hezekiah did things that Yahweh considered to be right, like his ancestor King David had done.

3 Hagi Hezekaima kinima agafa huno nemanino'a ese kafumofo ese ikantera Ra Anumzamofo mono nonkafantamima ahenkanima re'nazana anagino eri hagro nehuno eri so'e hu'ne.

During March of the first year that Hezekiah was ruling Judah, he unlocked the doors of the temple, and his workers repaired them.

4 Hagi pristi vahe'ene Livae vahe'enena mono kumamofona zage hanati kaziga kehige'za eme atru hazageno,

Then he gathered the priests and other descendants of Levi in the area on the east side of the temple,

5 amanage huno zamasmi'ne, Nagrama hanua kea Livae nagamota kama antahiho, menina tamagra'a tamazeri agru nehuta, Ra Anumzana tamagehe'i Anumzamofo mono nona azeri agru nehuta, ana mono nompima agru osu zantmima me'neana eri atreho.

and he said to them, “You descendants of Levi, listen to me! Consecrate yourselves. And then consecrate the temple of Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors [worshiped/belonged to]. Remove from the temple all the things that are not pleasing to God.

6 Hagi tagehe'za Ra Anumzana tagri Anumzamofona netreza, amagera onte kefo avu'ava hu'naze. Zamagra Ra Anumzamofone, Agrama nemania mono noma'anena zamagena humi'naze.

Our ancestors disobeyed God; they did many things that he considered to be evil, things that were not pleasing to him. They abandoned this place where Yahweh lives, and they have turned away from him.

7 Hagi ra mono nonkafana eriginente'za, zotare'ma tavima nereana husu hunente'za, mnanentake zane kre fananehu ofanena Israeli vahe Anumzamofo mono nompina kresramana ovu'naze.

They locked the doors of the temple and extinguished the lamps. They did not burn any incense, and they did not offer any sacrifices that were to be completely burned [on the altar].

8 E'ina hazageno Juda vahe'ene Jerusalemi kumate vahe'enena Ra Anumzamo'a tusi arimpa ahenezmanteno, zamazeri haviza hige'za vahe'mo'za nege'za kizazokago kema huzamante'naza zana tamagra tamavufintira ke'naze.

Therefore, Yahweh has become very angry with us people of Jerusalem and [other places in] Judah, and he has caused other people to become frightened and horrified [when they hear what Yahweh did to punish us]. And they ridicule us. You know this very well.

9 E'ina agafare tafahe'ina bainati kazintetira zamahe nefri'za, ne mofavretine, mofanetine, a'netinena kina huzmante'za zamavare'za vu'naze.

That is why our fathers have been killed in battles, and our sons and daughters and our wives have been captured and taken [to other countries].

10 Hagi nagra menina nagu'areti hu'na Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzane eri hagerafi huvempage huankino tusi rimpama ahenerantea zamo'a rurava hegahie.

But now I intend to make an agreement with Yahweh, our God, in order that he will no longer be angry with us.

11 E'ina hu'negu namoheta erizantmia otreho, na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a agri avugama eri'zama enerita ofama hanaza eri'za vahera ko tamagri huhampri tamante'ne.

[You who are like] my sons, do not waste any time. [Do immediately what Yahweh wants you to do.] Yahweh has chosen you to stand in his presence and offer sacrifices and burn incense.”

12 Anagema hige'za oti'za ana eri'zama eri'naza Livae vahera, Kohati nagapinti Amasai nemofo Mahati'ma, Azaraia nemofo Joeli'e. Hagi Merari nagapintira, Abdi nemofo Kisi'ma, Jehaleleli nemofo Azaraia'e. Hagi Gesoni nagapintira, Zima nemofo Joa'ma, Joa nemofo Edeni'e.

Then these descendants of Levi started to work [in the temple]: From the descendants of Kohath there were Mahath the son of Amasai, and Joel the son of Azariah. From the descendants of Merari there were Kish the son of Abdi, and Azariah the son of Jehallelel. From the descendants of Gershon there were Joah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joah.

13 Hagi Elisafani ne' mofavrerarena Simri'ene Jeuelike. Hagi Asapu ne' mofavrerarena Zekaraia'ene Matanaiake.

From the descendants of Elizaphan there were Shimri and Jeiel. From the descendants of Asaph there were Zechariah and Mattaniah.

14 Hagi Hemani nagapintira, Jahieli'ene Simeike. Hagi Jedutuni nagapintira Semaia'ene Uzielike.

From the descendants of Heman there were Jehiel and Shimei. From the descendants of Jeduthun there were Shemaiah and Uzziel.

15 Hagi ana Livae vahe'mo'za zamafuhe'ina zamagna kehu atru hu'za zamazeri agru hute'za, kini ne'mo'ma Ra Anumzamofo kasegema avaririno zamasmia kante ante'za mono nona eri agru hu'naze.

When those men had gathered their fellow descendants of Levi and had consecrated themselves, they entered the temple in order to consecrate it. That was what the king had commanded them to do, and they were also obeying what Yahweh had commanded.

16 Hagi ana pristi vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzamofo mono nompi mareri'za maka pehenama hu'nea zantamina kaza zantamina eri fegi'a mono kumapi atre'naze. Ana hutazage'za anantetira Livae vahe'mo'za eri'za Kidroni Agupofi vu'naze.

The priests entered the temple to consecrate it. They brought out into the courtyard of the temple everything that they had found in the temple that was not pleasing to Yahweh. Then the descendants of Levi took those things down to the Kidron Valley [and burned them there].

17 Hagi ana vahetmimo'za ese ikamofona ese knazupa eri'zana agafa hu'za eri'za nevazageno 8ti knazupa Ra Anumzamofo mono nompima ufre kafantera ehanati'naze. Hagi mago 8'a knafi mono noma eri agruhu eri'zana eri'za vu'za ese ikamofona 16ni knazupa ana eri'zana eri vagare'naze.

The priests and other descendants of Levi started this work on the first day of March and finished purifying the courtyard [of the temple] on the eighth day of that month, and they finished purifying the temple one week later.

18 Ana hute'za vu'za Kini ne' Hezekaiana amanage hu'za ome asmi'naze, Hago tagra ana maka Ra Anumzamofo mono nona eri agruhu vagareteta, kresra mnama vu itane maka anante'ma eri'zama e'neriza zantamine, ruotge bretima ante itane, anante'ma eri'zama eri zantaminena maka eri agru huvagare'none.

Then they went to King Hezekiah and reported, “We have purified all parts of the temple, and the altar where sacrifices are completely burned, and all the items used at the altar, the table on which the priests place the sacred bread, and the things [used at that table].

19 Hagi kini ne' Ahasi'ma Ra Anumzamofoma amefi'ma hunemino mono noma'ama eri'negino, maka eri'za zantmima ana nompinti'ma eritrerema hu'nea zantamina eritru huta eri ante fatgo nehuta eri agru huteta Ra Anumzamofonte'ma kre sramnavu itamofo avuga antonkeno me'ne.

While Ahaz was our king, he disobeyed what Yahweh had commanded, and he removed from the temple many things [that should be there], but now we have brought them back and placed them in front of the sacred altar.”

20 Anagema hazageno'a, Hezekaia'a anante knazupa nanterame otino rankumapi eri'za vahe'aramina kehige'za atru hazageno, Ra Anumzamofo mono nontega zamavareno mareri'ne.

Early the next morning, King Hezekiah gathered together the city officials, and they went to the [courtyard of the] temple.

21 Ana'ma higeno'a ana vahe'mo'za 7ni'a bulimakaonki, 7ni'a ve sipisipi afutminki, 7ni'a ve sipisipi afu anentatminki, 7ni'a meme afutminki hu'za, kini ne'mo'ma kegavama hu'nea mopare'ene, mono nonte'ene, Juda vahete'enema kumi ofama hu'zana avre'za vu'naze. Ana hazageno kini ne' Hezekaia'a Aronimpinti'ma fore'ma hu'naza pristi vahekura huno, Ra Anumzamofo kresramana vu itare afutamina aheta kresramana viho hu'ne.

They took with them seven bulls, seven rams, seven male lambs, and seven male goats to be an offering in order that Yahweh would forgive the sins of all the people in the kingdom of Judah, and in order to purify the temple. The king commanded that the priests, who were descendants of Aaron, should offer those animals to be sacrificed to Yahweh on the altar.

22 Hige'za pristi vahe'mo'za ana bulimakao afutamina ahe'za korama'a tagi'za kresramana vu itare rutritri hunte'naze. Ana nehu'za ve sipisipi afutamina ahe'za korama'a tagi'za kresramana vu itare rutritri hunte'naze. Hagi anantera sipisipi afu anentatmina ahe'za korama'a tagi'za kresramana vu itare rutritri hunte'naze.

So first the priests slaughtered those bulls, and took their blood and sprinkled it on the altar. Then they slaughtered the rams and sprinkled their blood on the altar. Then they slaughtered the lambs and sprinkled their blood on the altar.

23 Ana hute'za kumite'ma ofama hu meme afutamina kini ne'mofo avugane maka vahetmimofo zmavugane zamavare'za azage'za, kini ne'ene maka vahe'mo'zanena zamazana ana meme afutami agofetu ante'naze.

The goats that were slaughtered to be an offering in order that Yahweh would forgive the sins of the people were brought to the king and the others who were there. Then the king and those who were present laid their hands on those goats.

24 Ana hutazageno, ana pristi vahe'mo'za ana meme afutamina aheza korama'a tagiza maka Israeli vahe'mofo kumi nona huza Kresramana vu itare rutritri hu'naze. Na'ankure kini ne'mo'a huno, Maka Israeli vahete kre fanane hu ofane, kumite ofanena hiho huno huzmante'ne.

Then the priests slaughtered those goats and splashed their blood on the altar in order that Yahweh would forgive the sins that all the Israeli people had committed. The priests did that because the king had commanded that offerings that would be completely burned [on the altar] and other sacrifices should be made for all the people of Israel.

25 Ana nehuno kini ne' Hezekaia'a Livae nagara zamazeri otitere hige'za Ra Anumzamofo mono nompi nase'nasepane, hapu zavenane, lairiema nehaza zavenane eri'za otihoma hire otitere hu'naze. Na'ankure e'i ana'ma hu'nazana Devitine, Anumzamofo kasnampa ne' Gatine, kasnampa ne' Neteninema Ra Anumzamo'ma zamasamige'za hu'naza kante anteno zamazeri otitere hu'ne.

The king then told the descendants of Levi to stand in the temple with their cymbals and harps and lyres, obeying what David and his prophets Gad and Nathan had commanded. Those were things that Yahweh had told his prophets that the descendants of Levi should do.

26 Hagi ko'ma Deviti'ma ruzahu ruzahu zavenaramima tro'ma hunte'neana Livae vahe'mo'za eri'neza retrotra hu'za otitere hu'naze. Hagi pristi vahe'mo'zanena ufena eri'za otitere hu'naze.

So the descendants of Levi [went and] stood in the temple, ready to play the musical instruments that King David had given to them. And the priests were ready to blow their trumpets.

27 Ana hutazageno Hezekaia'a Kresramana vu itare Kresramana viho hige'za, tevefima kre fananehu ofama nehazageno'a, Ra Anumzamofo agima erisgama hu zagamera agafa nehazageno, ufena nerazageno, Israeli vahe kini ne' Deviti'ma tro'ma hu'nea zavenaramima eri'naza vahetmimo'zanena ana zavenaramina nehe'za zagamera hu'naze.

Then Hezekiah told some of the priests to burn the animals that would be sacrificed on the altar. When they started to burn the animals, the people started to sing to [praise] Yahweh, while the other descendants of Levi were playing their instruments.

28 Ana'ma nehazageno'a maka vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzamofona monora hunentazageno, zagame'ma nehaza vahe'mo'za zagamera nehazageno, ufema neraza vahe'mo'za ufena re'naze. Hagi e'ina hu'za zagamera nehu'za monora nehazageno kre fanane hu' ofama kre'naza ofamo'a tefanane hu'ne.

All the people who were there bowed to worship Yahweh, while the singers sang and the trumpeters blew their trumpets. They continued to do this until they had finished slaughtering all the animals that would be completely burned.

29 Hagi ana ofamo'ma tefananema hutege'za, kini ne' Hezekaia'ene mika anampima mani'naza zamare'na re'za Ra Anumzamofona monora hunte'naze.

When they finished making those offerings, the king and all those who were there knelt down and worshiped Yahweh.

30 Hagi kini ne' Hezekaia'ene vugota eri'za vahe'amo'zanena Livae vahe'tmina zamasmi'za, Devitine kasnampa ne' Asapukizni nehuta, Ra Anumzamofo agia erisga hiho hu'za zamasmi'naze. Anage hazage'za musezampinti nehu'za kepri hu'za Ra Anumzamofona monora hunte'naze.

Then King Hezekiah and his officials commanded the descendants of Levi to praise Yahweh, singing the songs [composed/written] by David and Asaph the prophet. So they sang songs joyfully and bowed their heads to worship.

31 Ana hutazageno, Hezekaia'a anante huama huno, Menina Ra Anumzamofonte tamagra'a tamazeri ruotge hazanki, Kresramanama vu ofane, Ra Anumzamofoma susu hunte ofenena erita Ra Anumzamofo nompi eho. Anage hige'za ana vahetmimo'za kre fanane hu' ofama susu'ma hunte ofanena eriza neazageno, izano agu'amo'ma musema himo'a agra avesite musema huno'ma hu ofa erino etere hu'ne.

Then Hezekiah said, “You have now dedicated yourselves to Yahweh. So come close to the temple and bring animals to be sacrificed and other offerings to thank [Yahweh for what he has done for you].” And those who wanted to bring animals to be completely burned [on the altar] brought them.

32 Anama hazage'za Ra Anumzamofontegama tevefima kre fanane hu' ofa hu'zama vahe'mo'zama eri'za e'nazana, 70'a ve bulimakao afutminki, 100'a ve sipisipiafutminki, 200'a sipisipi anentataminki, hu'za avre'za e'naze.

Altogether they brought 70 bulls, 100 rams, and 200 male lambs to be completely burned on the altar.

33 Hagi ana nehu'za erinte ruotge'ma hu'naza ofama eri'zama e'nazana, 600'a bulimakao afutminki, 3tauseni'a sipisipi afutami avre'za e'naze.

The other animals that they brought were 600 bulls and 3,000 sheep and goats that were set apart to be sacrifices.

34 Hianagi ana mika afutmima aheno kararuvazi pristi vahera rama'a omani'naze. E'ina hu'negu zamafuhe'za Livae naga'mo'za zamaza hu'za ana eri'zana enerizage'za rama'a pristi vahe'mo'za zamagra'a zamazeri agru hute'za eri'za zamirera e'za eme zamaza hu'za ana eri'zana eri vagare'naze. Na'ankure Livae vahe'mo'za ana eri'zama eri'nazana zamagu'areti hu'za pristi vahera zamagatere'za zamagra'a zamazeri agrua hu'naze.

But there were not enough priests to remove the skins from the animals that would be completely burned [on the altar]. So their fellow descendants of Levi helped them until that work was finished, and until other priests had purified/consecrated themselves to do that work. It was necessary for them to do that because many of the priests had not yet performed the rituals to consecrate themselves for that work, like the descendants of Levi had done.

35 Hagi rama'a kre fanane hu ofama hazafina, arimpa fruhu ofama haza bulimakao afumofo afova'ane, waini ti ofanena hu'naze. E'ina hazageno Ra Anumzamofo mono nompima mono'ma hu'zana agafa hu'ne.

In addition to the all the offerings that were completely burned [on the altar], the priests also burned the fat of the other animals that were sacrificed to maintain good fellowship with Yahweh, and the usual wine offerings. So the worship at the temple began again.

36 Hagi Anumzamo'ma zamaza hige'za ame hu'za maka zama huvagama raza zankura Hezekaia'ene mika vahe'mo'zanena tusi muse hu'naze.

And Hezekiah and all the other people of Judah celebrated, because God had enabled them to do all those things very quickly.
