2 Tantara 31
1 Ie heneke zay, le niavotse mb’ amo rova Iehodao mb’eo t’Israele niatrek’ iabioo, le pinozapozake o vatolahio naho nifiraeñe o hazomangao naho rineba’ iareo ambane o toets’ aboo naho o kitrely e Iehodà naho e Beniamine iaby naho Efraime naho e Menasèo ampara’ te fonga rinotsake. Le nimpoly amy zao o ana’ Israeleo, songa mb’am-panaña’e, mb’an-drova’e añe.
When all this had ended, the Israelites in attendance went out to the cities of Judah and broke up the sacred pillars, chopped down the Asherah poles, and tore down the high places and altars throughout Judah and Benjamin, as well as in Ephraim and Manasseh, until they had utterly destroyed them all. Then all the Israelites returned to their cities, each to his own property.
2 Le nanendre firimboñam-pisoroñe naho nte-Levy t’Iekizkia, sambe firimboñañe, songa fitoroñam-pisoroñe, naho o nte-Levio, ho amo fisoroñañeo naho amo engam-panintsiñañeo, hitoroñe, hañandriañe naho handrenge amo lalambein-tobe’ Iehovào.
Hezekiah reestablished the divisions of the priests and Levites—each of them according to their duties as priests or Levites—for the burnt offerings and peace offerings, for ministry, for giving thanks, and for singing praises at the gates of the LORD’s dwelling.
3 Tinendre’e ka ty anjara’ i mpanjakay boak’ amo vara’eo ho amo fisoroñañeo: o enga-maraindraiñeo naho o soron-karivao naho o soron-tSabatao naho ho amo pea-bolañeo vaho ho amo andro namantañañeo, ty amy pinatetse amy Ha’ Iehovàio.
The king contributed from his own possessions for the regular morning and evening burnt offerings and for the burnt offerings on the Sabbaths, New Moons, and appointed feasts, as written in the Law of the LORD.
4 Mbore linili’e o mpimone’ Ierosalaimeo ty hanolotse ty anjara’ o mpisoroñeo naho o nte-Levio, hanolora’ iareo vatañe amy tsara’ Iehovày.
Moreover, he commanded the people living in Jerusalem to make a contribution for the priests and Levites so that they could devote themselves to the Law of the LORD.
5 Aa ie niboele i liliy, le nampitobahe’ o ana’ Israeleo ty lohavoan’ ampemba, divay naho menake naho tantele naho ze hene voka’ i tetekey; vaho natoba’ iareo ao iaby ty faha-folom-bara.
As soon as the order went out, the Israelites generously provided the firstfruits of the grain, new wine, oil, and honey, and of all the produce of the field, and they brought in an abundance—a tithe of everything.
6 Nasese’ o ana’ Israele nimoneñe amo rova’ Iehodaoo ty faha-folon’ añombe naho añondry naho ty faha-folon-draha navaheñe ze navike ho am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ iareo vaho napopoke am-pitoboroñañe.
And the Israelites and Judahites who lived in the cities of Judah also brought a tithe of their herds and flocks and a tithe of the holy things consecrated to the LORD their God, and they laid them in large heaps.
7 Amy volam-pahateloy ty namotorañe o fitoboroñeo, le nihenefa’ iareo ami’ty volam-pahafito.
In the third month they began building up the heaps, and they finished in the seventh month.
8 Ie nioni’ Iekizkia naho o mpiaoloo o fitoboroñañeo le nandrenge Iehovà naho ondati’e Israeleo.
When Hezekiah and his officials came and viewed the heaps, they blessed the LORD and His people Israel.
9 Nañontanea’ Iekizkia o mpisoroñeo naho o nte-Levio o fitoboroñañeo,
Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and Levites about the heaps,
10 le hoe t’i Azarià mpisorom-bey, hasavereña’ i Tsadoke, Mifototse amy nanesea’ ondatio an-kiboho’ Iehovà ao o engaoy, le nienen-kanen-jahay vaho nanisa maro. Nitahie’ Iehovà ondati’eo, le e hoek’eo o maro nahajao.
and Azariah, the chief priest of the household of Zadok, answered him, “Since the people began to bring their contributions into the house of the LORD, we have had enough to eat and there is plenty left over, because the LORD has blessed His people; this great abundance is what is left over.”
11 Aa le nafanto’ Iekizkia am’ iereo ty hañajary riha añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà ao; le hinajari’ iereo.
Then Hezekiah commanded them to prepare storerooms in the house of the LORD, and they did so.
12 Le nampizilihe’ iereo ao o engao naho o fahafoloo naho o raha nengaeñeo, le tsy nihilotse; vaho nampifeheañe i Konanià nte-Levy izay naho i Simey rahalahi’e ty faharoe,
And they faithfully brought in the contributions, tithes, and dedicated gifts. Conaniah the Levite was the officer in charge of them, and his brother Shimei was second.
13 naho Iekiele naho i Azazià naho i Nakate naho i Asaele naho Ieriemote naho Iozabade naho i Eliele naho Iismakiaho naho i Makate vaho i Benaià ty nimpisary am-banem-pità’ i Kononià naho i Simey rahalahi’e, ty amy fanendrea’ Iekizkia mpanjakay vaho nimpifehe i anjomban’ Añaharey t’i Azarià.
Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismachiah, Mahath, and Benaiah were overseers under the authority of Conaniah and his brother Shimei, by appointment of King Hezekiah and of Azariah the chief official of the house of God.
14 Le i Kore ana’ Imnà nte-Levy, i mpiamben-dalañe maniñanañey, ty nifehe o engan-tsatrin’ arofo aman’ Añahareo hanjarà’e o enga amy Iehovào naho o miava-do’eo.
Kore son of Imnah the Levite, the keeper of the East Gate, was in charge of the freewill offerings given to God, distributing the contributions to the LORD and the consecrated gifts.
15 Le am-pità’e t’i Edene naho i Miniamine naho Iesoa naho i Semaià, i Amarià vaho i Sekanià amo rovam-pisoroñeo, ty hanolotse am-pigahiñañe amo rahalahi’ iareoo ty amo firimboña’ iareoo, ty bey mira ami’ty kede;
Under his authority, Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah faithfully distributed portions to their fellow priests in their cities, according to their divisions, old and young alike.
16 mandikoatse o volilieñe amy fanoñonañe lahilahy telo taoñe mañamboneo, le o mizilik’ añ’anjomba’ Iehovào, songa fitoloña’e boak-andro itoroña’e amy nandiliañe azey, Vaho sindre firimboñañe;
In addition, they distributed portions to the males registered by genealogy who were three years of age or older—to all who would enter the house of the LORD for their daily duties for service in the responsibilities of their divisions—
17 naho namolily mpisoroñe am-panoñonan-droae, sambe anjomban-drae, naho o nte-Levio, ze ana-dahy roapolo taoñe mañambone, songa fitoloña’e sindre firimboña’e.
and to the priests enrolled according to their families in the genealogy, as well as to the Levites twenty years of age or older, according to their duties and divisions.
18 ie nivolilieñe am-panoñonan-drae e amo anak’ajaja’e iaby, amo vali’e naho ana-dahy vaho anak’ampela, ho amy fivori-bey iabiy, fa am-pigahiñañe ty niavaha’iereo ho am-piavahañe do’e.
The genealogy included all the little ones, wives, sons, and daughters in the whole assembly. For they had faithfully consecrated themselves as holy.
19 Amo ana’ i Aharone mpisoroñe an-tanem-piandraza’ o rova’ iareoo naho amo rova iabio, le teo ty ondaty kinanjy hiantoñoñe an-tahinañe hanolorañe anjara’ amy ze lahilahy amo mpisoroñeo toe ze hene’ nivolilieñe ty amy fanoñona’e amo nte-Levio.
As for the priests, the descendants of Aaron, who lived on the farmlands around each of their cities or in any other city, men were designated by name to distribute a portion to every male among the priests and to every Levite listed by the genealogies.
20 Nitsitsihe’ Iekizkià e Iehodà izay vaho nanoe’e ty soa naho ty mahity vaho vantañe añatrefa’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’e.
So this is what Hezekiah did throughout Judah. He did what was good and upright and true before the LORD his God.
21 Ze fitoloñañe nifotora’e am-pitoroñañe añ’ anjomban’ Añahare naho amy Hake naho amo fepetseo, le nipaia’e t’i Andrianañahare’e naho nanoe’e añ’ añoñ’ arofo vaho niraorao.
He was diligent in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, and in the law and the commandments, in order to seek his God. And so he prospered.
