Elos oru ouinge in acn nukewa saya lun Judah, ac in acn lun Benjamin, Ephraim, ac Manasseh. Na elos nukewa folokla nu yen selos.
Now when all this was finished, all the people of Israel who were there went out to the cities of Judah and broke to pieces the stone pillars and they cut down the Asherah poles, and they broke down the high places and the altars in all of Judah and Benjamin, and in Ephraim and Manasseh, until they had destroyed them all. Then all the people of Israel returned, every one to his own possession and his own city.
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 assigned the divisions of the priests and the Levites organized by their divisions, each man assigned to his work, both the priests and the Levites. He assigned them to make the burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, to serve, to give thanks, and to praise at the gates of Yahweh's temple.
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.
He also assigned the king's portion for the burnt offerings from his own possessions, that is, for the morning and evening burnt offerings, and the burnt offerings for the Sabbath days, the new moons, and the fixed festivals, as it was written in the law of Yahweh.
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 who lived in Jerusalem to give the portion for the priests and the Levites, so that they might concentrate on obeying the law of Yahweh.
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 command was sent out, the people of Israel generously gave the firstfruits of grain, new wine, oil, honey, and from all their harvest of the field. They brought in a tithe of everything, which was a great quantity.
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.
The people of Israel and Judah who lived in the cities of Judah also brought in the tithe of cattle and sheep, and the tithe of the holy things that were set apart to Yahweh their God, and they piled them up in 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.
It was in the third month when they began piling up their contribution in 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 the leaders came and saw the heaps, they blessed Yahweh and his people Israel.
9 Tokosra el sramsramkin mwe kite inge nu sin mwet tol ac mwet Levi,
Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and the 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.”
Azariah, the chief priest, of the house of Zadok, answered him and said, “Since the people began to bring the offerings into the house of Yahweh, we have eaten and had enough, and have plenty left over, for Yahweh has blessed his people. What was left over is this large amount here.”
11 Na Tokosra Hezekiah el sap elos in akoela kutu nien filma in Tempul, ac elos oru,
Then Hezekiah commanded storerooms to be prepared in the house of Yahweh, and they prepared them.
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.
Then they faithfully brought in the offerings, the tithes and the things that belonged to Yahweh. Konaniah the Levite was the manager in charge of them, and his brother Shimei was second to him.
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, Ismakiah, Mahath, and Benaiah were managers under the hand of Konaniah and Shimei his brother, by appointment of Hezekiah, the king, and Azariah, the official over 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 porter at the east gate, was over the free will offerings of God, in charge of distributing the offerings to Yahweh and the most holy offerings.
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 him were Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests. They filled offices of trust, in order to give these offerings to their brothers division by division, to both the important and the unimportant.
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.
They also gave to those males three years old and up, who were listed in the records of their ancestors who entered the house of Yahweh, as required by the daily schedule, to do the work in their offices and 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.
They distributed to the priests according to the records of their ancestors, and the same to the Levites twenty years old and more, according to their offices and their 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.
They included all their little ones, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, through the whole community, for they were faithful in keeping themselves holy.

For the priests, the descendants of Aaron, who were in the fields of the villages belonging to their cities, or in every city, there were men assigned by name to give portions to all the males among the priests, and to all who were listed in the records of their ancestors as being among the Levites.
20 In acn Judah nufon, Tokosra Hezekiah el oru ma suwohs ac ma LEUM GOD lal insewowo kac.
Hezekiah did this throughout all Judah. He accomplished what was good, right, and faithful before Yahweh, 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.
In every project that he began in the service of the house of God, the law, and the commandments, to seek his God, he performed it with all his heart, and he succeeded.
