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 Israel who were present went out to the cities of Judah and broke the pillars in pieces, cut down the Asherah poles, and broke down the high places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, also in Ephraim and Manasseh, until they had destroyed them all. Then all the children of Israel returned, every man to his possession, into their own cities.
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 appointed the divisions of the priests and the Levites after their divisions, every man according to his service, both the priests and the Levites, for burnt offerings and for peace offerings, to minister, to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the LORD’s camp.
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 appointed the king’s portion of his possessions for the burnt offerings: for the morning and evening burnt offerings, and the burnt offerings for the Sabbaths, for the new moons, and for the set feasts, as it is written in the LORD’s law.
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 of the priests and the Levites, that they might give themselves to the LORD’s law.
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 commandment went out, the children of Israel gave in abundance the first fruits of grain, new wine, oil, honey, and of all the increase of the field; and they brought in the tithe of all things abundantly.
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 children of Israel and Judah, who lived in the cities of Judah, also brought in the tithe of cattle and sheep, and the tithe of dedicated things which were consecrated to the LORD their God, and laid them 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.
In the third month, they began to lay the foundation of the heaps, and finished them 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 princes came and saw 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 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 people began to bring the offerings into the LORD’s house, we have eaten and had enough, and have plenty left over, for the LORD has blessed his people; and that which is left is this great store.”
11 Na Tokosra Hezekiah el sap elos in akoela kutu nien filma in Tempul, ac elos oru,
Then Hezekiah commanded them to prepare rooms in the LORD’s house, 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.
They brought in the offerings, the tithes, and the dedicated things faithfully. Conaniah the Levite was ruler over them, and Shimei his brother 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 hand of Conaniah and Shimei his brother, by the appointment of Hezekiah the king and Azariah the ruler of God’s house.
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 the son of Imnah the Levite, the gatekeeper at the east gate, was over the free will offerings of God, to distribute the LORD’s offerings and the most holy things.
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, Yeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, in their office of trust, to give to their brothers by divisions, to the great as well as to the small;
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 to those who were listed by genealogy of males, from three years old and upward, even everyone who entered into the LORD’s house, as the duty of every day required, for their service in their offices according to 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 those who were listed by genealogy of the priests by their fathers’ houses, and the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in their offices by 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.
and those who were listed by genealogy of all their little ones, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, through all the congregation; for in their office of trust they sanctified themselves in holiness.

Also for the sons of Aaron the priests, who were in the fields of the pasture lands of their cities, in every city, there were men who were mentioned by name to give portions to all the males among the priests and to all who were listed by genealogy among the Levites.
20 In acn Judah nufon, Tokosra Hezekiah el oru ma suwohs ac ma LEUM GOD lal insewowo kac.
Hezekiah did so throughout all Judah; and he did that which was good, right, and faithful 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.
In every work that he began in the service of God’s house, in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart and prospered.
