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.

And Ezekias began to reign at the age of twenty-five years, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Abia, daughter of Zacharias.

2 Ary nanao izay mahitsy eo imason’ i Jehovah izy, tahaka izay rehetra nataon’ i Davida rainy.

And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that 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.

And it came to pass, when he was established over his kingdom, in the first month, he opened the doors of the house of the Lord, and repaired them.

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

And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and put them 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, Hear, ye Levites: now sanctify yourselves, and sanctify the house of the Lord God of your fathers, and cast out the impurity from the holy places.

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 revolted, and done that which was evil before the Lord our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their face from the tabernacle of the Lord, and have turned [their] back.

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.

And they have shut up the doors of the temple, and put out the lamps, and have not burnt incense, and have not offered whole-burnt-offerings in the holy [place] to 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.

And the Lord was very angry with Juda and Jerusalem, and made them an astonishment, and a desolation, and a hissing, as ye see with your eyes.

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

And, behold, your fathers have been smitten with the sword, and your sons and your daughters and your wives are in captivity in a land not their own, as it is even now.

10 Ka dia efa mby ato am-poko ny hanao fanekena amin’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, mba hiala amintsika ny fahatezerany mirehitra.

Therefore it is now in my heart to make a covenant, a covenant with the Lord God of Israel, that he may turn away his fierce wrath 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.

And now be not wanting [to your duty], for the Lord has chosen you to stand before him to minister, and to be ministers and burners of incense 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 rose up, Maath the son of Amasi, and Joel the son of Azarias, of the sons of Caath: and of the sons of Merari, Kis the son of Abdi, and Azarias the son of Haelel: and of the sons of Gedsoni, Jodaad the son of Zemmath, and Joadam: these [were] the sons of Joacha.

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 Elisaphan; Zambri, and Jeiel: and of the sons of Asaph; Zacharias, and Matthanias:

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 Aeman; Jeiel, and Semei: and of the sons of Idithun; Samaisa, and Oziel.

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 gathered their brethren, and they purified themselves according to the king's command by the order of the Lord, to purify the house 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.

And the priests entered into the house of the Lord, to purify [it], and they cast out all the uncleanness that was found in the house of the Lord, even into the court of the house of the Lord: and the Levites received [it] to cast into the brook of Kedron without.

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.

And [Ezekias] began on the first day, [even] on the new moon of the first month, to purify, and on the eighth day of the month they entered into the temple of the Lord: and they purified the house of the Lord in eight days; and on the thirteenth day of the first month they finished [the work].

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.

And they went in to king Ezekias, and said, We have purified all the things in the house of the Lord, the altar of whole-burnt-offering, and its vessels, and the table of shew-bread, and 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 king Achaz polluted in his reign, in his apostasy, we have prepared and purified: behold, they are 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.

And king Ezekias rose early in the morning, and gathered the chief men of the city, 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 he brought seven calves, seven rams, seven lambs, seven kids of goats for a sin-offering, for the kingdom, and for the holy things, and for Israel: and he told the priests the sons of Aaron to go up to 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.

And they slew the calves, and the priests received the blood, and poured it on the altar: and they slew the rams, and poured the blood upon the altar: also they slew the lambs, and poured the blood round the altar.

23 Ary ny osilahy ho fanatitra noho ny ota dia nentiny teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka sy ny fiangonana ka nametrahany tanana;

And they brought the goats for a sin-offering before the king and the congregation; and laid their hands upon 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 slew them, and offered their blood as a propitiation on the altar; and they made atonement for all Israel: for the king said, The whole-burnt-offering, and the sin-offering [are] 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.

And he stationed the Levites in the house of the Lord with cymbals, and lutes, and harps, according to the commandment of king David, and of Gad the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet: for by the commandment of the Lord the order [was] in the hand of the prophets.

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

And 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 Ezekias told [them] to offer up the whole-burnt-offering on the altar: and when they began to offer the whole-burnt-offering, they began to sing to the Lord, and the trumpets [accompanied] 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 congregation worshipped, and the psalm-singers [were] singing, and the trumpets sounding, until the whole-burnt-sacrifice had been completely offered.

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

And when they had done offering [it], the king and all that were present bowed, and worshipped.

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.

And king Ezekias and the princes told the Levites to sing hymns to the Lord in the words of David, and of Asaph the prophet: and they sang hymns with gladness, and fell down and worshipped.

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 Ezekias answered and said, Now ye have consecrated yourselves to the Lord, bring near and offer sacrifices of praise in the house of the Lord. And the congregation brought sacrifices and thank-offerings into the house of the Lord; and every one who was ready in his heart [brought] whole-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.

And the number of the whole-burnt-offerings which the congregation brought, was seventy calves, a hundred rams, two hundred lambs: all these [were] for a whole-burnt-offering to the Lord.

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

And the consecrated calves were six hundred, [and] the sheep three thousand.

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.

But the priests were few, and could not flay the whole-burnt-offering, so their brethren the Levites helped them, until the work was finished, and until the priests had purified themselves: for the Levites [more] zealously purified [themselves] 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 the whole-burnt-offering [was] abundant, with the fat of the complete peace-offering, and the drink-offerings of the whole-burnt-sacrifice. So the service was established in the house of the Lord.

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

And Ezekias and all the people rejoiced, because God has prepared the people: for the thing was done suddenly.
