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.
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 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.
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 Yahweh’s camp.
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.
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 Yahweh’s law.
4 Ary ny olona izay nonina tany Jerosalema nasainy nandoa ny anjaran’ ny mpisorona sy ny Levita hipetrahany tsara amin’ ny lalàn’ i Jehovah.
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 Yahweh’s law.
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.
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 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.
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 Yahweh their God, and laid them in 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 foundation of 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.
When Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed Yahweh and his people Israel.
9 Ary Hezekia nanontany ny mpisorona sy ny Levita ny amin’ ireo niavosa ireo.
Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites about 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.
Azariah the chief priest, of the house of Zadok, answered him and said, “Since people began to bring the offerings into Yahweh’s house, we have eaten and had enough, and have plenty left over, for Yahweh has blessed his people; and that which 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.
Then Hezekiah commanded them to prepare rooms in Yahweh’s house, 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.
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 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.
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 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.
Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the gatekeeper at the east gate, was over the free will offerings of God, to distribute Yahweh’s offerings 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,
Under him were Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, 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 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.
in addition to those who were listed by genealogy of males, from three years old and upward, even everyone who entered into Yahweh’s house, as the duty of every day required, for their service in their offices 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.
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 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 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.
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.
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 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.
Hezekiah did so throughout all Judah; and he did that which was good, right, and faithful before Yahweh 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
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.
