2 Tantara 29
1 Dimy amby roa-polo taona Hezekia, fony izy vao nanjaka, ary sivy amby roa-polo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema. Ary ny anaran-dreniny dia Abia, zanakavavin’ i Zakaria.
Hezekiah was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-nine years. His mother’s name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.
2 Ary nanao izay mahitsy eo imason’ i Jehovah izy, tahaka izay rehetra nataon’ i Davida rainy.
And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father David had done.
3 Tamin’ ny volana voalohany tamin’ ny taona voalohany nanjakany dia namoha ny varavaran’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah izy ka namboatra azy.
In the first month of the first year of his reign, Hezekiah opened and repaired the doors of the house of the LORD.
4 Ary dia nampidiriny tao ny mpisorona sy ny Levita ka nangoniny teo an-kalalahana atsinanana.
Then he brought in the priests and Levites and gathered them in the square on the east side.
5 Ary hoy izy taminy: Mihainoa ahy, ianareo Levita, ka hamasino ny tenanareo izao, ary hamasino koa ny tranon’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razanareo, ary esory amin’ ny fitoerana masìna ny loto.
“Listen to me, O Levites,” he said. “Consecrate yourselves now and consecrate the house of the LORD, the God of your fathers. Remove from the Holy Place every impurity.
6 Fa ny razantsika nandiso sy nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika ary nahafoy Azy sy nihodina ka niamboho ny fonenan’ i Jehovah.
For our fathers were unfaithful and did evil in the sight of the LORD our God. They abandoned Him, turned their faces away from the dwelling place of the LORD, and turned their backs on Him.
7 Ary narindriny ny varavarana amin’ ny lavarangana fidirana, dia novonoiny ny jiro, sady tsy nodorany ny ditin-kazo manitra, ary ny fanatitra dorana tsy nateriny tao amin’ ny fitoerana masìna ho an’ Andriamanitry ny Isiraely.
They also shut the doors of the portico and extinguished the lamps. They did not burn incense or present burnt offerings in the Holy Place of the God of Israel.
8 Ka dia nihatra tamin’ ny Joda sy Jerosalema ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah, ka nanolotra azy ho mpanjenjena izy sy ho figagana ary ho zavatra mampisitrisitra toy izao hitan’ ny masonareo izao.
Therefore, the wrath of the LORD has fallen upon Judah and Jerusalem, and He has made them an object of terror, horror, and mockery, as you can see with your own eyes.
9 Fa he! lavon’ ny sabatra ny razantsika, ary ny zanakalahintsika sy ny zanakavavintsika sy ny vadintsika dia efa babo noho izany.
For behold, this is why our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and daughters and wives are in captivity.
10 Ka dia efa mby ato am-poko ny hanao fanekena amin’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, mba hiala amintsika ny fahatezerany mirehitra.
Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with the LORD, the God of Israel, so that His fierce anger will turn away from us.
11 Ry zanako, aza malaina ianareo; fa ianareo no nofidin’ i Jehovah hijanona eo anatrehany hanompo Azy ka ho tonga mpanao fanompoam-pivavahana sy mpandoro ditin-kazo manitra ho Azy.
Now, my sons, do not be negligent, for the LORD has chosen you to stand before Him, to serve Him, to minister before Him, and to burn incense.”
12 Dia nitsangana ny Levita, dia Mahata, zanak’ i Amasay, sy Joela, zanak’ i Azaria, tamin’ ny taranaky ny Kehatita; ary tamin’ ny taranak’ i Merary dia Kisy, zanak’ i Abdia, sy Azaria, zanak’ i Jehalalila; ary tamin’ ny Gersonita dia Joa, zanak’ i Zima, sy Edena, zanak’ i Joa;
Then the Levites set to work: Mahath son of Amasai and Joel son of Azariah from the Kohathites; Kish son of Abdi and Azariah son of Jehallelel from the Merarites; Joah son of Zimmah and Eden son of Joah from the Gershonites;
13 ary tamin’ ny taranak’ i Elizafana dia Simry sy Jeiela; ary tamin’ ny taranak’ i Asafa dia Zakaria sy Matania;
Shimri and Jeuel from the Elizaphanites; Zechariah and Mattaniah from the Asaphites;
14 ary tamin’ ny taranak’ i Hemana dia Jehiela sy Simey; ary tamin’ ny taranak’ i Jedotona dia Semaia sy Oziela.
Jehiel and Shimei from the Hemanites; and Shemaiah and Uzziel from the Jeduthunites.
15 Ary namory ny rahalahiny izy, ka dia samy nanamasina ny tenany avy, dia tonga araka ny didin’ ny mpanjaka noho ny tenin’ i Jehovah mba hanadio ny tranon’ i Jehovah.
When they had assembled their brothers and consecrated themselves, they went in to cleanse the house of the LORD, according to the command of the king by the words of the LORD.
16 Ary ny mpisorona niditra tao amin’ ny efitra anatiny amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah mba hanadio azy, ka navoakany ny loto rehetra izay hitany tao an-tempolin’ i Jehovah ho eo an-kianjan’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah. Ary ny Levita kosa nandray ireny havoakany ho any amin’ ny lohasahan-driaka Kidrona.
So the priests went inside the house of the LORD to cleanse it, and they brought out to the courtyard all the unclean things that they found in the temple of the LORD. Then the Levites took these things and carried them out to the Kidron Valley.
17 Ary tamin’ ny andro voalohany tamin’ ny volana voalohany no nanomboka ny fanamasinana izy, ary tamin’ ny andro fahavalo tamin’ io volana io dia niditra teo amin’ ny lavarangana fidirana an’ i Jehovah izy; ka dia nanamasina ny tranon’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny havaloana izy; ary tamin’ ny andro fahenina ambin’ ny folo tamin’ ny volana voalohany no nahavitany azy.
They began the consecration on the first day of the first month, and on the eighth day of the month they reached the portico of the LORD. For eight more days they consecrated the house of the LORD itself, finishing on the sixteenth day of the first month.
18 Dia niditra tao amin’ i Hezekia mpanjaka izy ka nanao hoe: Efa voadionay avokoa ny tranon’ i Jehovah sy ny alitara fandoroana ny fanatitra dorana mbamin’ ny fanaka rehetra momba azy ary ny latabatry ny mofo aseho mbamin’ ny fanaka rehetra momba azy koa.
Then they went in to King Hezekiah and reported, “We have cleansed the entire house of the LORD, the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the table of the showbread with all its utensils.
19 Ary ny fanaka rehetra izay novetavetain’ i Ahaza mpanjaka tamin’ ny nanotany, fony izy mbola nanjaka, dia efa namboarinay sy nohamasininay, koa indreo izy eo anoloan’ ny alitaran’ i Jehovah.
Moreover, we have prepared and consecrated all the articles that King Ahaz in his unfaithfulness cast aside during his reign. They are now in front of the altar of the LORD.”
20 Dia nifoha maraina koa Hezekia mpanjaka ka namory ny mpanapaka ny tanàna, dia niakatra ho ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah.
Early the next morning King Hezekiah gathered the city officials and went up to the house of the LORD.
21 Ary nitondra vantotr’ ombilahy fito sy ondrilahy fito sy zanak’ ondry fito izy ary osilahy fito ho fanatitra noho ny ota ho an’ ny fanjakana sy ho an’ ny fitoerana masìna ary ho an’ ny Joda. Ary ny mpisorona, taranak’ i Arona, dia nasainy nanatitra ireo teo ambonin’ ny alitaran’ i Jehovah.
They brought seven bulls, seven rams, seven lambs, and seven male goats as a sin offering for the kingdom, for the sanctuary, and for Judah. And the king commanded the priests, the descendants of Aaron, to offer them on the altar of the LORD.
22 Dia novonoiny ny vantotr’ ombilahy, ary noraisin’ ny mpisorona ny rà ka natopiny tamin’ ny alitara; ary novonoiny koa ny ondrilahy, dia natopiny tamin’ ny alitara ny ràny; ary novonoiny koa ny zanak’ ondry, dia natopiny tamin’ ny alitara ny ràny.
So they slaughtered the bulls, and the priests took the blood and sprinkled it on the altar. They slaughtered the rams and sprinkled the blood on the altar. And they slaughtered the lambs and sprinkled the blood on the altar.
23 Ary ny osilahy ho fanatitra noho ny ota dia nentiny teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka sy ny fiangonana ka nametrahany tanana;
Then they brought the goats for the sin offering before the king and the assembly, who laid their hands on them.
24 dia novonoin’ ny mpisorona ireo, ka ny ràny nataony teo amin’ ny alitara araka ny fanao ho fanatitra noho ny ota hanaovana fanavotana ho an’ ny Isiraely; fa ho an’ ny Isiraely rehetra no nasain’ ny mpanjaka nanaovana ny fanatitra dorana sy ny fanatitra noho ny ota.
And the priests slaughtered the goats and put their blood on the altar for a sin offering, to make atonement for all Israel, because the king had ordered the burnt offering and the sin offering for all Israel.
25 Ary ny mpanjaka nametraka ny Levita tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah hitondra kipantsona sy valiha ary lokanga, araka ny didin’ i Davida mpanjaka sy Gada, mpahitan’ ny mpanjaka, sy Natana mpaminany; fa izany no didin’ i Jehovah nampitondrainy ny mpaminaniny.
Hezekiah stationed the Levites in the house of the LORD with cymbals, harps, and lyres according to the command of David, of Gad the king’s seer, and of Nathan the prophet. For the command had come from the LORD through His prophets.
26 Ary ny Levita nitsangana teo nitondra ny zava-manenon’ i Davida, ary ny mpisorona koa nitondra ny trompetra.
The Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.
27 Ary nasain’ i Hezekia naterina teo ambonin’ ny alitara ny fanatitra dorana; ary raha vao natomboka ny nanaterana ny fanatitra dorana, dia natomboka koa ny fihirana ho an’ i Jehovah sy ny fitsofana ny trompetra ka notarihin’ ny zava-manenon’ i Davida, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely.
And Hezekiah ordered that the burnt offering be sacrificed on the altar. When the burnt offering began, the song of the LORD and the trumpets began as well, accompanied by the instruments of David king of Israel.
28 Ary ny fiangonana rehetra niankohoka, ary ny mpihira nihira, ary ny mpitsoka trompetra nitsoka mandra-pahavitan’ ny fanatitra dorana.
The whole assembly was worshiping, the singers were singing, and the trumpeters were playing. All this continued until the burnt offering was completed.
29 Ary nony efa nitsahatra ny nanaterana izany, dia nandohalika sy niankohoka ny mpanjaka mbamin’ izay rehetra teo aminy.
When the offerings were completed, the king and all those present with him bowed down and worshiped.
30 Ary Hezekia mpanjaka sy ny mpanapaka nampihira ny Levita hidera an’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny teny namboarin’ i Davida sy Asafa mpahita. Ary nihira fiderana tamin’ ny hafaliana izy, dia niondrika sy niankohoka.
Then King Hezekiah and his officials ordered the Levites to sing praises to the LORD in the words of David and of Asaph the seer. So they sang praises with gladness and bowed their heads and worshiped.
31 Ary Hezekia niteny hoe: Efa nanokana ny tenanareo ho an’ i Jehovah ianareo izao, ka dia manatòna, ary mitondrà fanati-pisaorana sy fanatitra hafa koa ho ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah. Dia nitondra fanati-pisaorana sy fanatitra hafa ny fiangonana, ary izay rehetra nazoto dia nitondra fanatitra dorana.
Then Hezekiah said, “Now that you have consecrated yourselves to the LORD, come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings to the house of the LORD.” So the assembly brought sacrifices and thank offerings, and all whose hearts were willing brought burnt offerings.
32 Ary ny isan’ ny fanatitra dorana izay nentin’ ny fiangonana dia omby fito-polo sy ondrilahy zato ary zanak’ ondry roan-jato; natao fanatitra dorana ho an’ i Jehovah ireo rehetra ireo.
The number of burnt offerings the assembly brought was seventy bulls, a hundred rams, and two hundred lambs; all these were for a burnt offering to the LORD.
33 Ary ny zavatra nohamasinina dia omby enin-jato sy ondry aman’ osy telo arivo.
And the consecrated offerings were six hundred bulls and three thousand sheep.
34 Fa vitsy loatra ny mpisorona ka tsy nahendaka ny fanatitra dorana rehetra, ka dia nanampy azy ny Levita rahalahiny mandra-pahavitan’ ny raharaha sy ny nanamasinan’ ny mpisorona sasany ny tenany koa; fa ny Levita nahitsy fo kokoa hanamasina ny tenany noho ny mpisorona.
However, since there were not enough priests to skin all the burnt offerings, their Levite brothers helped them until the work was finished and until the priests had been consecrated. For the Levites had been more diligent in consecrating themselves than the priests had been.
35 Ary be koa ny fanatitra dorana sy ny saboran’ ny fanati-pihavanana sy ny fanatitra aidina momba ny fanatitra dorana. Izany no nanavaozany ny fanompoana tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah.
Furthermore, the burnt offerings were abundant, along with the fat of the peace offerings and the drink offerings for the burnt offerings. So the service of the house of the LORD was established.
36 Ary faly Hezekia sy ny vahoaka rehetra noho izay namboarin’ Andriamanitra ho an’ ny olona, satria tampoka izany raharaha izany.
Then Hezekiah and all the people rejoiced at what God had prepared for the people, because everything had been accomplished so quickly.
