Luo Chronicle 31
1 Tukun safla kufwa uh, mwet Israel nukewa som nu in kais sie siti lun Judah, ac fukulya sru eot, ac kunausla ma sruloala ma orekla in luman god mutan Asherah, oayapa loang ac acn in alu lun mwet pegan. Elos oru ouinge in acn nukewa saya lun Judah, ac in acn lun Benjamin, Ephraim, ac Manasseh. Na elos nukewa folokla nu yen selos.
When all this had ended, the Israelites in attendance went out to the cities of Judah and broke up the sacred pillars, chopped down the Asherah poles, and tore down the high places and altars throughout Judah and Benjamin, as well as in Ephraim and Manasseh, until they had utterly destroyed them all. Then all the Israelites returned to their cities, each to his own property.
2 Tokosra Hezekiah el sifilpa nawu oakwuk lun mwet tol ac mwet Levi, fal nu ke orekma kunen kais sie u lalos. Ma kunalos inge pa: in kisakin mwe kisa firir ac mwe kisa in akinsewowo, in oru ip kunalos ke alu in Tempul, ac fahkak kaksak ac kulo ke kais sie acn in Tempul.
Hezekiah reestablished the divisions of the priests and Levites—each of them according to their duties as priests or Levites—for the burnt offerings and peace offerings, for ministry, for giving thanks, and for singing praises at the gates of the LORD’s dwelling.
3 Tokosra Hezekiah el use sheep ac cow mukul natul sifacna tuh in mwe kisa firir ke lotutang ac eku nukewa, oayapa nu ke ma kisakinyuk ke len Sabbath ac ke Kufwen Malem Sasu, ac ke kufwa saya ma eneneyuk in orek fal nu ke Ma Sap lun LEUM GOD.
The king contributed from his own possessions for the regular morning and evening burnt offerings and for the burnt offerings on the Sabbaths, New Moons, and appointed feasts, as written in the Law of the LORD.
4 Sayen ma inge, tokosra el sap mwet in acn Jerusalem in use pac mwe kite lalos nu sin mwet tol ac mwet Levi fal nu ke ma oakwuk, tuh elos in ku in sang pacl lalos nufon in akfalye orekma nukewa ma akkalemyeyuk ke Ma Sap lun LEUM GOD.
Moreover, he commanded the people living in Jerusalem to make a contribution for the priests and Levites so that they could devote themselves to the Law of the LORD.
5 Tukunna sapkinyuk ma inge, na mwet Israel elos use fahko se meet ke fokin ima lalos, wain, oil in olive, honey, ac kutu pac fokin sacn sunalos, oayapa sie tafu singoul ke ma lalos nukewa.
As soon as the order went out, the Israelites generously provided the firstfruits of the grain, new wine, oil, and honey, and of all the produce of the field, and they brought in an abundance—a tithe of everything.
6 Mwet Israel ac mwet Judah nukewa su muta in siti lun Judah elos use sie tafu singoul ke cow ac sheep natulos, ac elos oayapa use mwe sang puspis su elos srela tuh in ma lun LEUM GOD lalos.
And the Israelites and Judahites who lived in the cities of Judah also brought a tithe of their herds and flocks and a tithe of the holy things consecrated to the LORD their God, and they laid them in large heaps.
7 Elos mutawauk in orani mwe sang inge ke malem se aktolu, na elos sifilpa elosak ma utukeni nwe ke malem akosr pac toko.
In the third month they began building up the heaps, and they finished in the seventh month.
8 Ke Tokosra Hezekiah ac mwet pwapa lal elos liye lupan ma orekeni inge, elos kaksakin LEUM GOD ac kaksakin mwet lal, mwet Israel.
When Hezekiah and his officials came and viewed the heaps, they blessed the LORD and His people Israel.
9 Tokosra el sramsramkin mwe kite inge nu sin mwet tol ac mwet Levi,
Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and Levites about the heaps,
10 na Azariah, mwet Tol Fulat su ma in sou lal Zadok, el fahk nu sel, “Ke pacl se na mwet uh mutawauk in usani mwe sang lalos nu in Tempul, arulana yohk mwe mongo nasr. Kalem lah LEUM GOD El akinsewowoye mwet lal, pwanang yolyak pac ma oan inge.”
and Azariah, the chief priest of the household of Zadok, answered him, “Since the people began to bring their contributions into the house of the LORD, we have had enough to eat and there is plenty left over, because the LORD has blessed His people; this great abundance is what is left over.”
11 Na Tokosra Hezekiah el sap elos in akoela kutu nien filma in Tempul, ac elos oru,
Then Hezekiah commanded them to prepare storerooms in the house of the LORD, and they did so.
12 ac likiya mwe sang ac sie tafu singoul nukewa in karinginyuk we. Elos sulela mwet Levi se pangpang Conaniah in karingin ma inge, ac Shimei, tamulel se lal, in mwet kasru lal.
And they faithfully brought in the contributions, tithes, and dedicated gifts. Conaniah the Levite was the officer in charge of them, and his brother Shimei was second.
13 Mwet Levi singoul srisrngiyuki in orekma yoroltal, ac pa inge inelos: Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismachiah, Mahath, ac Benaiah. Ma inge nukewa orekla ke sap lal Tokosra Hezekiah ac Azariah, Mwet Tol Fulat.
Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismachiah, Mahath, and Benaiah were overseers under the authority of Conaniah and his brother Shimei, by appointment of King Hezekiah and of Azariah the chief official of the house of God.
14 Ma kunal Kore wen natul Imnah, sie mwet Levi su sifen mwet topang su taran Mutunpot Kutulap ke Tempul, in eisani mwe sang ma orekeni nu sin LEUM GOD, ac kitalik nu sin mwet tol ac mwet Levi.
Kore son of Imnah the Levite, the keeper of the East Gate, was in charge of the freewill offerings given to God, distributing the contributions to the LORD and the consecrated gifts.
15 In siti saya, yen oasr mwet tol muta we, mwet Levi inge pa mwet kasru lal Kore: Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, ac Shecaniah. Elos arulana oaru in kitalik mwe mongo nu sin mwet Levi wialos, ke lupa ma fal nu ke orekma kunalos,
Under his authority, Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah faithfully distributed portions to their fellow priests in their cities, according to their divisions, old and young alike.
16 ac tia ke sou. Elos sang ma nun mukul nukewa yac toluyak, su oasr orekma kunalos ke kais sie len in Tempul, fal nu ke ma kuneyuk elos nu kac.
In addition, they distributed portions to the males registered by genealogy who were three years of age or older—to all who would enter the house of the LORD for their daily duties for service in the responsibilities of their divisions—
17 Mwet tol uh itukyang orekma kunalos fal nu ke sou lalos, ac mwet Levi su yac longoulyak, itukyang ma kunalos fal nu ke u in orekma lalos.
and to the priests enrolled according to their families in the genealogy, as well as to the Levites twenty years of age or older, according to their duties and divisions.
18 Simla inelos nukewa wi mutan kialos ac tulik natulos ac mwet saya su muta ye karinginyuk lalos, mweyen elos enenu na in akola pacl nukewa in oru orekma mutal kunalos.
The genealogy included all the little ones, wives, sons, and daughters in the whole assembly. For they had faithfully consecrated themselves as holy.
19 Inmasrlon mwet tol su muta in siti ma itukyang nu sin sou lal Aaron, ku mwet su muta ke acn in tohf kosro lun siti ingan, oasr mwet oaru ma kuneyuki in kitalik mwe mongo nu sin mukul nukewa in sou lun mwet tol, ac nu sin mwet nukewa su simla inelos ke sou lun mwet Levi.
As for the priests, the descendants of Aaron, who lived on the farmlands around each of their cities or in any other city, men were designated by name to distribute a portion to every male among the priests and to every Levite listed by the genealogies.
20 In acn Judah nufon, Tokosra Hezekiah el oru ma suwohs ac ma LEUM GOD lal insewowo kac.
So this is what Hezekiah did throughout Judah. He did what was good and upright and true before the LORD his God.
21 El kapkapak mweyen ma nukewa el oru nu ke Tempul, ku akosten lal nu ke Ma Sap, el oru ke inse pwaye ac ke lungse pwaye lal nu sin God lal.
He was diligent in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, and in the law and the commandments, in order to seek his God. And so he prospered.
