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.
And when these things had been duly celebrated, all Israel that were found in the cities of Juda, went out, and they broke the idols, and cut down the groves. demolished the high places, and destroyed the altars, not only out of all Juda and Benjamin, but out of Ephraim also and Manasses, till they had utterly destroyed them: then all the children of Israel returned to their possessions and cities.
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.
And Ezechias appointed companies of the priests, and the Levites, by their courses, every man in his own office, to wit, both of the priests, and of the Levites, for holocausts, and for peace offerings, to minister, and to praise, and to sing in the gates of the camp of the Lord.
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.
And the king’s part was, that of his proper substance the holocaust should be offered always morning and evening, and on the sabbaths, and the new moons and the other solemnities, as it is written in the law of Moses.
4 Mbore linili’e o mpimone’ Ierosalaimeo ty hanolotse ty anjara’ o mpisoroñeo naho o nte-Levio, hanolora’ iareo vatañe amy tsara’ Iehovày.
He commanded also the people that dwelt in Jerusalem, to give to the priests, and the Levites their portion, that they might attend 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.
Which when it was noised abroad in the ears of the people, the children of Israel offered in abundance the firstfruits of corn, wine, and oil, and honey: and brought the tithe of all things which the ground bringeth forth.
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.
Moreover the children of Israel and Juda, that dwelt in the cities of Juda, brought in the tithes of oxen, and sheep, and the tithes of holy things, which they had vowed to the Lord their God: and carrying them all, made many heaps.
7 Amy volam-pahateloy ty namotorañe o fitoboroñeo, le nihenefa’ iareo ami’ty volam-pahafito.
In the third month they began to lay the foundations of the heaps, and in the seventh month, they finished them.
8 Ie nioni’ Iekizkia naho o mpiaoloo o fitoboroñañeo le nandrenge Iehovà naho ondati’e Israeleo.
And when Ezechias and his princes came in, they saw the heaps, and they blessed the Lord and the people of Israel.
9 Nañontanea’ Iekizkia o mpisoroñeo naho o nte-Levio o fitoboroñañeo,
And Ezechias asked the priests and the Levites, why the heaps lay so.
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.
Azarias the chief priest of the race of Sadoc answered him, saying: Since the firstfruits began to be offered in the house of the Lord, we have eaten, and have been filled, and abundance is left, because the Lord hath blessed his people: and of that which is left is this great store which thou seest.
11 Aa le nafanto’ Iekizkia am’ iereo ty hañajary riha añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà ao; le hinajari’ iereo.
Then Ezechias commanded to prepare storehouses in the house of the Lord. And when they had done 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,
They brought in faithfully both the firstfruits, and the tithes, and all they had vowed. And the overseer of them was Chonenias the Levite, and Semei his brother was the 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.
And after him Jehiel, and Azarias, and Nahath, and Asael, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Jesmachias, and Mahath, and Banaias, overseers under the hand of Chonenias, and Semei his brother, by the commandment of Ezechias the king, and Azarias the high priest of the house of God, to whom all things appertained.
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.
But Core the son of Jemna the Levite, the porter of the east gate, was overseer of the things which were freely offered to the Lord, and of the firstfruits and the things dedicated for the holy of holies.
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;
And under his charge were Eden, and Benjamin, Jesue, and Semeias, and Amarias, and Sechenias, in the cities of the priests, to distribute faithfully portions to their brethren, both little and great:
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;
Besides the males from three years old and upward, to all that went into the temple of the Lord, and whatsoever there was need of in the ministry, and their offices according to their courses, day by day.
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.
To the priests by their families, and to the Levites from the twentieth year and upward, by their classes and companies.
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.
And to all the multitude, both to their wives, and to their children of both sexes, victuals were given faithfully out of the things that had been sanctified.
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.
Also of the sons of Aaron who were in the fields and in the suburbs of each city, there were men appointed, to distribute portions to all the males, among the priests and the Levites.
20 Nitsitsihe’ Iekizkià e Iehodà izay vaho nanoe’e ty soa naho ty mahity vaho vantañe añatrefa’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’e.
So Ezechias did all things, which we have said in all Juda, and wrought that which was good; and right, and truth, 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.
In all the service of the ministry of the house of the Lord according to the law and the ceremonies, desiring to seek his God with all his heart, and he did it and prospered,
