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 became king when he was twenty-five years old; and he was king in Jerusalem for twenty-nine years; and 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.

He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, 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 year of his rule, in the first month, opening the doors of the Lord's house, he made them strong.

4 Ary dia nampidiriny tao ny mpisorona sy ny Levita ka nangoniny teo an-kalalahana atsinanana.

And he sent for the priests and the Levites, and got them together in the wide place 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.

And said to them, Give ear to me, O Levites: now make yourselves holy, and make holy the house of the Lord, the God of your fathers, and take away everything unclean from the holy place.

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 have done evil, sinning in the eyes of the Lord our God, and have given him up, turning away their faces from the house of the Lord, and turning 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.

The doors of his house have been shut and the lights put out; no perfumes have been burned or offerings made to the God of Israel in his holy place.

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.

And so the wrath of the Lord has come on Judah and Jerusalem, and he has given them up to be a cause of fear and wonder and shame, as your eyes have seen.

9 Fa he! lavon’ ny sabatra ny razantsika, ary ny zanakalahintsika sy ny zanakavavintsika sy ny vadintsika dia efa babo noho izany.

For see, our fathers have been put to death with the sword, and our sons and daughters and wives have been taken away prisoners because of this.

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 my purpose to make an agreement with the Lord, the God of Israel, so that the heat of his wrath may be turned 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.

My sons, take care now: for you have been marked out by the Lord to come before him and to be his servants, burning offerings to him.

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 took their places; Mahath, the son of Amasai, and Joel, the son of Azariah, among the Kohathites; and of the sons of Merari, Kish, the son of Abdi, and Azariah, the son of Jehallelel; and of the Gershonites, Joah, the son of Zimmah, and Eden, the son of Joah;

13 ary tamin’ ny taranak’ i Elizafana dia Simry sy Jeiela; ary tamin’ ny taranak’ i Asafa dia Zakaria sy Matania;

And of the sons of Elizaphan, Shimri and Jeuel; and of the sons of Asaph, Zechariah and Mattaniah;

14 ary tamin’ ny taranak’ i Hemana dia Jehiela sy Simey; ary tamin’ ny taranak’ i Jedotona dia Semaia sy Oziela.

And of the sons of Heman, Jehuel and Shimei; and of the sons of Jeduthun, Shemaiah and Uzziel.

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.

And they got their brothers together and made themselves holy, and went in, as the king had said by the word of the Lord, to make the house of the Lord clean.

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.

And the priests went into the inner part of the house of the Lord to make it clean, and everything unclean which was to be seen in the Temple of the Lord they took out into the outer square of the Lord's house, and the Levites got it together and took it away to the stream Kidron.

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.

On the first day of the first month the work of making the house holy was started, and on the eighth day they came to the covered way of the Lord; in eight days they made the Lord's house holy, and on the sixteenth day of the first month the work was done.

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 said, We have made all the house of the Lord clean, as well as the altar of burned offerings with all its vessels, and the table for the holy bread, with all its vessels.

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.

And all the vessels which were turned out by King Ahaz in his sin while he was king, we have put in order and made holy, and now they are in their places before 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.

Then Hezekiah the king got up early, and got together the great men of the town, 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.

And they took with them seven oxen and seven male sheep and seven lambs and seven he-goats as a sin-offering for the kingdom and for the holy house and for Judah. And he gave orders to the sons of Aaron, the priests, that these were to be offered 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 put the oxen to death and their blood was given to the priests to be drained out against the altar; then they put the male sheep to death, draining out their blood against the altar, and they put the lambs to death, draining out their blood against 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 took the he-goats for the sin-offering, placing them before the king and the meeting of the people, and they put 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 put them to death, and made a sin-offering with their blood on the altar, to take away the sin of all Israel: for the king gave orders that the burned offering and the sin-offering were 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.

Then he put the Levites in their places in the house of the Lord, with brass and corded instruments of music as ordered by David and Gad, the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet: for the order was the Lord's, given by his prophets.

26 Ary ny Levita nitsangana teo nitondra ny zava-manenon’ i Davida, ary ny mpisorona koa nitondra ny trompetra.

So the Levites took their places with David's instruments, and the priests with their horns.

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 gave the word for the burned offering to be offered on the altar. And when the burned offering was started, then the song of the Lord was started, with the blowing of horns and with all 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.

And all the people gave worship, to the sound of songs and the blowing of horns; and this went on till the burned offering was ended.

29 Ary nony efa nitsahatra ny nanaterana izany, dia nandohalika sy niankohoka ny mpanjaka mbamin’ izay rehetra teo aminy.

And at the end of the offering, the king and all who were present with him gave worship with bent heads.

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 the captains gave orders to the Levites to give praise to God in the words of David and Asaph the seer. And they made songs of praise with joy, and with bent heads gave worship.

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 made answer and said, Now that you have given yourselves to the Lord, come near and take offerings and praise-offerings into the house of the Lord. So all the people took in offerings and praise-offerings: and those whose hearts were moved, took in burned 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 burned offerings which the people took in was seventy oxen, a hundred male sheep, and two hundred lambs: all these were for burned offerings to the Lord.

33 Ary ny zavatra nohamasinina dia omby enin-jato sy ondry aman’ osy telo arivo.

And the holy things were six hundred oxen 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.

There were not enough priests for the work of cutting up all the burned offerings; so their brothers the Levites gave them help till the work was done and the priests had made themselves holy: for the Levites were more upright in heart to make themselves holy than the priests.

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.

And there was a great amount of burned offerings, with the fat of the peace-offerings and the drink offerings for every burned offering. So the work of the Lord's house was put in order.

36 Ary faly Hezekia sy ny vahoaka rehetra noho izay namboarin’ Andriamanitra ho an’ ny olona, satria tampoka izany raharaha izany.

And Hezekiah and all the people were full of joy, because God had made the people ready: for the thing was done suddenly.
