2 Tantara 31
1 Ary nony vita izany rehetra izany, dia niainga nankany an-tanànan’ ny Joda ny Isiraely rehetra izay tao ka nanorotoro ny tsangam-baton-tsampy sy nikapa ny Aseraha ary nandrava ny fitoerana avo sy ny alitara eran’ i Joda sy Benjamina rehetra ary tany Efraima sy Manase koa ambara-paharavany azy rehetra. Dia samy nody ho any amin’ ny taniny sy ny tanànany avy ny Zanak’ isiraely rehetra.
And when all this was finished, all Israel that were present went out to the cities of Judah, and broke the columns, and hewed down the Asherahs, and demolished the high places and the altars in all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim also and Manasseh, until they had destroyed them all. And all the children of Israel returned every man to his possession, into their cities.
2 Ary Hezekia nanendry ny antokon’ ny mpisorona sy ny Levita araka ny antokony avy, samy araka ny fanompoany avy, dia ny mpisorona sy ny Levita ho amin’ ny fanatitra dorana sy ny fanati-pihavavana sy hanao fanompoam-pivavahana sy hisaotra ary hidera eny amin’ ny vavahadin’ ny tobin’ i Jehovah.
And Hezekiah appointed the divisions of the priests, and the Levites after their divisions, every man according to his service, as well the priests as the Levites, for burnt-offerings and for peace-offerings, to serve and to give thanks and to praise in the gates of the courts of Jehovah.
3 Ary ny hatao fanatitra dorana rehetra dia nomen’ ny mpanjaka avy tamin’ ny fananany, dia ny fanatitra dorana maraina sy hariva sy ny fanatitra dorana atao amin’ ny Sabata sy amin’ ny voaloham-bolana sy amin’ ny fotoam-pivavahana, araka ny voasoratra ao amin’ ny lalan’ i Jehovah.
And [he ordered] that the king's portion [should be taken] from his substance for the burnt-offerings: for the morning and evening burnt-offerings, for the burnt-offerings of the sabbaths, and of the new moons, and of the set feasts, as it is written in the law of Jehovah.
4 Ary ny olona izay nonina tany Jerosalema nasainy nandoa ny anjaran’ ny mpisorona sy ny Levita hipetrahany tsara amin’ ny lalàn’ i Jehovah.
And he commanded the people that dwelt in Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might be encouraged in the law of Jehovah.
5 Ary nony niely izany teny izany, dia nitondra voaloham-bokatra betsaka ny Zanak’ isiraely, dia vary sy ranom-boaloboka sy diloilo sy tantely ary vokatry ny tany isan-karazany; ary ny fahafolon-karena tamin’ ny zavatra rehetra, dia betsaka koa no nentiny.
And as soon as the commandment was published, the children of Israel gave in abundance the firstfruits of corn, new wine and oil and honey, and of all the increase of the field; and they brought in abundantly the tithe of all [things].
6 Ary ny Isiraely sy ny Joda, izay nonina tany an-tanànan’ ny Joda, nitondra ny fahafolon-karena koa, dia omby sy ondry aman’ osy, ary ny fahafolon’ ny zavatra masìna izay nohamasinina ho an’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny, ary navosainy nitokotoko maro ireny.
And the children of Israel and of Judah, that dwelt in the cities of Judah, they also brought the tithe of oxen and sheep, and the tithe of holy things which were consecrated to Jehovah their God, and laid them by heaps.
7 Tamin’ ny volana fahatelo no vao nanomboka nanokotoko azy izy, ary tamin’ ny volana fahafito no nahavitany azy.
In the third month they began to lay the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month.
8 Ary nony avy Hezekia sy ny mpanapaka ka nahita ireo niavosa ireo, dia nisaotra an’ i Jehovah sy ny Isiraely olony izy.
And Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, and they blessed Jehovah, and his people Israel.
9 Ary Hezekia nanontany ny mpisorona sy ny Levita ny amin’ ireo niavosa ireo.
And Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps.
10 Ary Azaria mpisoronabe, taranak’ i Zadoka, namaly azy hoe: Hatramin’ ny niandohan’ ny nitondran’ ny olona ny fanatitra ho ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah dia nihinana izahay ka voky, sady be koa ny sisa; fa Jehovah nitahy ny olony, ary ny sisa dia ireo betsaka ireo.
And Azariah the chief priest of the house of Zadok spoke to him and said, Since they began to bring the heave-offerings into the house of Jehovah, we have eaten and been satisfied and have left plenty; for Jehovah has blessed his people; and what is left is this great store.
11 Ary nasain’ i Hezekia namboatra efi-trano fitehirizana tao amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah izy; dia namboariny izany.
And Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the house of Jehovah; and they prepared [them],
12 Ary tamin’ ny fahamarinany no nampidirany ny fanatitra sy ny fahafolon-karena sy ny zavatra nohamasininy; ary Konania Levita no mpitahiry ireny, ary simey rahalahiny no manarakaraka.
and brought in the heave-offerings and the tithes and the dedicated things faithfully; and over these Cononiah the Levite was ruler, and Shimei his brother was second.
13 Ary Jehiela sy Azazia sy Nahata sy Asahela sy Jerimota sy Jozabada sy Eliala sy Jismakia sy Mahata ary Benaia, fehin’ i Konania sy Simey rahalahiny, no tonian’ ireny, araka ny didin’ i Hezekia mpanjaka sy Azaria, mpanapaka ny tranon’ Andriamanitra.
And Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath, and Asahel, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Jismachiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah were overseers under the hand of Cononiah and Shimei his brother, at the command of Hezekiah the king and Azariah the ruler of the house of God.
14 Ary Kore Levita, zanak’ i Jimna, mpiandry varavarana tao atsinanana, no tonian’ ny fanati-tsitrapo ho an’ Andriamanitra, hizara ny fanatitra asandratra ho an’ i Jehovah sy ny zava-masìna indrindra.
And Kore the son of Jimnah the Levite, the doorkeeper toward the east, was over the voluntary-offerings of God, to distribute the heave-offerings of Jehovah, and the most holy things.
15 Ary ny fehin’ i Kore dia Edena sy Miniamina sy Jesoa sy Semaia sy Amaria ary Sekania tao amin’ ny tanànan’ ny mpisorona; ary adidin’ ireo ny hizara ho an’ ny rahalahiny araka ny antokony avy, na ny lehibe na ny kely,
And under him were Eden and Miniamin and Jeshua and Shemaiah, Amariah and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, in [their] set trust, to make distributions to their brethren by [their] divisions, to the great as to the small,
16 afa-tsy ny lehilahy voasoratra hatramin’ ny telo taona no ho miakatra, dia izay miditra ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah handray ny anjarany isanandro noho ny fanompoany amin’ ny anjara-raharahany araka ny antokony avy.
besides those from three years old and upward who as males were entered in the genealogical register, — all that came into the house of Jehovah, as the duty of every day required, for their service in their charges, according to their divisions,
17 Ary ny amin’ ny fanoratana ny mpisorona koa, dia nosoratana araka ny fianakaviany avy, ary ny Levita koa hatramin’ ny roa-polo taona no ho miakatra, araka ny anjara-raharahany sy ny antokony avy.
— both to the priests enregistered according to their fathers' houses, and to the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in their charges, by their divisions;
18 Ary nomena koa ny ankohonany rehetra izay voasoratra, dia ny vadiny mbamin’ ny zananilahy sy ny zananivavy rehetra; fa tamin’ ny fahamarinany no nanamasinany ny tenany ny amin’ ny zavatra masìna.
and to all their little ones, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, the whole congregation of those entered in the register; for in their trust they hallowed themselves to be holy.
19 Ary ho an’ ny mpisorona, taranak’ i Arona, koa, izay tany amin’ ny tany manodidina ny tanànany, dia nisy olona voatonona anarana tamin’ ny isan-tanàna hanome anjara ny lehilahy rehetra amin’ ny mpisorona sy ny Levita rehetra voasoratra.
And for the sons of Aaron the priests who were in the country, in the suburbs of their cities, there were, in every several city, men expressed by name, to give portions to all the males among the priests, and to all the Levites that were entered in the register.
20 Ary toy izany no nataon’ i Hezekia eran’ i Joda rehetra; fa nanao izay tsara sy mety ary marina eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny izy.
And thus did Hezekiah throughout Judah, and wrought what was good and right and true before Jehovah his God.
21 Ary ny raharaha rehetra izay natombony ny amin’ ny fanompoana ao an-tranon’ Andriamanitra sy ny lalàna ary ny didy hitadiavana an’ Andriamaniny dia nataony tamin’ ny fony rehetra, fa nambinina izy
And in every work that he undertook in the service of the house of God, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart and prospered.
