2 Whakapapa 29

1 E rua tekau ma rima nga tau o Hetekia i tona kingitanga, a e rua tekau ma iwa nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama; ko te ingoa hoki o tona whaea ko Apia, he tamahine na Hakaraia.

Hezekiah began to reign when he was twenty-five years old; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.

2 A he tika tana mahi ki ta Ihowa titiro, i rite ki nga mea katoa i mea ai tona papa, a Rawiri.

He did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that David his father had done.

3 I te tuatahi o nga tau o tona kingitanga, i te marama tuatahi, ka uakina e ia nga tatau o te whare o Ihowa, hanga ana e ia kia pai.

He in the first year of his reign, in the first month, opened the doors of the house of the LORD, and repaired them.

4 Na ka mauria mai e ia ki roto nga tohunga ratou ko nga Riwaiti, a ka huihuia ratou ki te marae i te taha rawhiti,

He brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them together into the broad place on the east,

5 A ka mea ia ki a ratou, Whakarongo mai, e nga Riwaiti, whakatapua koutou aianei, whakatapua hoki te whare o Ihowa, o te Atua o o koutou matua, maua atu hoki te mea poke i roto i te wahi tapu.

and said to them, "Listen to me, you Levites. Now sanctify yourselves, and sanctify the house of the LORD, the God of your fathers, and carry out the filthiness out of the holy place.

6 I he hoki o tatou matua, i mahi i te kino i te titiro a Ihowa, a to tatou Atua. Whakarerea ake ia e ratou, tahuri ke ana o ratou aroaro i te tapenakara o Ihowa; hurihia ake e ratou ko o ratou tuara.

For our fathers have trespassed, and done that which was evil in the sight of the LORD our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of the LORD, and turned their backs.

7 Ko nga tatau ano o te whakamahau, i tutakina e ratou; tineia iho nga rama, kihai hoki he whakakakara i tahuna e ratou; a kahore he tahunga tinana i whakaekea i te wahi tapu ki te Atua o Iharaira.

Also they have shut up the doors of the porch, and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense nor offered burnt offerings in the holy place to the God of Israel.

8 Koia te riri o Ihowa i anga ai ki a Hura, ki Hiruharama, a tukua ana ratou e ia kia whiuwhiua, hei miharo me ta o koutou kanohi e kite nei.

Therefore the wrath of the LORD was on Judah and Jerusalem, and he has delivered them to be tossed back and forth, to be an astonishment, and a hissing, as you see with your eyes.

9 Nana, kua hinga nei o tatou matua i te hoari; ko te mea ano tenei i whakaraua ai a tatou tama, a tatou tamahine, a tatou wahine.

For, look, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this.

10 Na ko ta toku ngakau tenei, kia whakaritea he kawenata ki a Ihowa, ki te Atua o Iharaira, kia tahuri atu ai i a tatou tona riri e mura nei.

Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with the LORD, the God of Israel, that his fierce anger may turn away from us.

11 E aku tama, kaua koutou e mangere: he mea whiriwhiri nei hoki koutou na Ihowa hei tu ki tona aroaro, hei mahi ki a ia, hei minita ki a ia, hei tahu whakakakara.

My sons, do not be negligent now; for the LORD has chosen you to stand before him, to minister to him, and that you should be his ministers, and burn incense."

12 Katahi ka whakatika nga Riwaiti, a Mahata tama a Amahai, a Hoera tama a Ataria, no nga tama a nga Kohati: a, o nga tama a Merari, ko Kihi tama a Apari, ko Ataria tama a Ieharereere: o nga Kerehoni hoki, ko Ioaha tama a Tima, ko Erene tama a Ioah a:

Then the Levites arose, Mahath, the son of Amasai, and Joel the son of Azariah, of the descendants of the Kohathites; and of the sons of Merari, Kish the son of Abdi, and Azariah the son of Jehallelel; and of the Gershonites, Joah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joah;

13 A, o nga tama a Eritapana, ko Himiri, ko Teiere: o nga tama a Ahapa, ko Hakaraia, ko Matania;

and of the descendants of Elizaphan, Shimri and Jeuel; and of the descendants of Asaph, Zechariah and Mattaniah;

14 O nga tama a Hemana, ko Tehiere, ko Himei; o nga tama e Ierutunu, ko Hemaia, ko Utiere.

and of the descendants of Heman, Jehuel and Shimei; and of the descendants of Jeduthun, Shemaiah and Uzziel.

15 Na huihuia ana e ratou o ratou tuakana, teina, kei te whakatapu ratou i a ratou, a haere ana ki roto ki ta te kingi i whakahau ai, ara ki ta Ihowa i ki ai, ki te pure i te whare o Ihowa.

They gathered their brothers, and sanctified themselves, and went in, according to the commandment of the king by the words of the LORD, to cleanse the house of the LORD.

16 Na haere ana nga tohunga ki roto rawa i te whare o Ihowa ki te tahi i te poke, a whakaputaina ana e ratou ki waho nga mea poke katoa i kitea i roto i te temepara o Ihowa ki te marae o te whare o Ihowa. Na tangohia ana e nga Riwaiti, kawea ana ki waho ki te awa ki Kitirono.

The priests went in to the inner part of the house of the LORD, to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the LORD's temple into the court of the house of the LORD. The Levites took it, to carry it out abroad to the Kidron Valley.

17 No te ra tuatahi o te marama tuatahi i timata ai ratou te whakatapu, a no te waru o nga ra o te marama i tae ai ratou ki te whakamahau o Ihowa. Na whakatapua ana e ratou te whare o Ihowa, e waru nga ra; a no te tekau ma ono o nga ra o te marama tuatahi i oti ai.

Now they began on the first day of the first month to sanctify, and on the eighth day of the month came they to the porch of the LORD; and they sanctified the house of the LORD in eight days: and on the sixteenth day of the first month they made an end.

18 Katahi ka haere ratou ki roto, kite kingi, ki a Hetekia, a ka mea, Kua tahia e matou te poke o te whare o Ihowa, o te aata tahunga tinana, o ona mea katoa, o te tepu taro aroaro, o ona mea katoa.

Then they went in to Hezekiah the king within the palace, and said, "We have cleansed all the house of the LORD, and the altar of burnt offering, with all its vessels, and the table of show bread, with all its vessels.

19 Ko nga oko katoa hoki i akiritia atu e Kingi Ahata i tona kingitanga, i a ia i he ra, kua oti i a matou te whakapai, te whakatapu. Nana, ko aua mea ra kei te aronga o te aata a Ihowa.

Moreover all the vessels, which king Ahaz in his reign threw away when he trespassed, have we prepared and sanctified; and look, they are before the altar of the LORD."

20 Katahi ka maranga wawe a Kingi Hetekia i te ata, huihuia ana e ia nga rangatira o te pa, haere ana ia ki runga, ki te whare o Ihowa.

Then Hezekiah the king arose early and gathered the officials of the city and went up to the house of the LORD.

21 A ka kawea mai e ratou e whitu nga puru, e whitu nga hipi toa, e whitu nga reme, e whitu nga koati toa, hei whakahere hara mo te kingitanga, mo te wahi tapu, a mo Hura. Na whakahaua atu ana e ia kia whakaekea e nga tohunga, e nga tama a Arona ki runga ki te aata a Ihowa.

They brought seven bulls, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven male goats, for a sin offering for the kingdom and for the sanctuary and for Judah. He commanded the priests the sons of Aaron to offer them on the altar of the LORD.

22 Heoi patua ana e ratou nga kau, a ka riro nga toto i nga tohunga, tauhiuhia atu ana e ratou ki te aata. I patua ano e ratou nga hipi toa, tauhiuhia atu ana nga toto ki te aata. Patua ana ano e ratou nga reme, a tauhiuhia ana nga toto ki te aata.

So they killed the bulls, and the priests received the blood, and sprinkled it on the altar: and they killed the rams, and sprinkled the blood on the altar: they killed also the lambs, and sprinkled the blood on the altar.

23 Na ka whakatataia mai e ratou nga koati toa hei whakahere hara i te aroaro o te kingi ratou ko te whakaminenga; pokia iho ana o ratou ringa ki runga ki a ratou.

They brought near the male goats for the sin offering before the king and the assembly; and they laid their hands on them:

24 Na ka patua e nga tohunga, whakaherea ana o ratou toto mo nga hara ki runga ki te aata, hei whakamarie mo Iharaira katoa: na te kingi hoki i ki mo Iharaira katoa te tahunga tinana me te whakahere hara.

and the priests killed them, and they made a sin offering with their blood on the altar, to make atonement for all Israel; for the king commanded that the burnt offering and the sin offering should be made for all Israel.

25 I whakaturia ano e ia nga Riwaiti ki te whare o Ihowa, he himipora a ratou, he hatere, he hapa; ko ta Rawiri hoki ia i whakahau ai, ratou ko Kara matakite a te kingi, ko Natana poropiti: na Ihowa hoki te whakahau, ara na ana poropiti.

He set the Levites in the house of the LORD with cymbals, with stringed instruments, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, and of Gad the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet; for the commandment was of the LORD by his prophets.

26 Tu ana tera nga Riwaiti, me nga mea whakatangi a Rawiri, me nga tohunga ano, mau tetere ana.

The Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.

27 Na ka whakahau a Hetekia kia whakaekea te tahunga tinana ki runga ki te aata. Na i te wa i timata ai te tahunga tinana, ka timataia ano te waiata a Ihowa, me nga tetere, me nga mea whakatangi a Rawiri kingi o Iharaira.

Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt offering on the altar. When the burnt offering began, the song of the LORD began also, and the trumpets, together with the instruments of David king of Israel.

28 Na koropiko katoa ana te whakaminenga, waiata ana nga kaiwaiata, whakatangihia ana nga tetere: i mahia katoa tenei a mutu noa te tahunga tinana.

All the assembly worshiped, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded; all this continued until the burnt offering was finished.

29 A, no te mutunga o te whakaeke, ka tuohu te kingi me ona hoa katoa i reira, a koropiko ana.

When they had made an end of offering, the king and all who were present with him bowed themselves and worshiped.

30 I whakahau ano a Kingi Hetekia me nga rangatira ki nga Riwaiti kia whakamoemiti ki a Ihowa; hei nga kupu ano a Rawiri raua ko Ahapa matakite. Na kei te whakamoemiti ratou; me te koa; tuohu ana ratou, koropiko ana ano.

Moreover Hezekiah the king and the leaders commanded the Levites to sing praises to the LORD with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. They sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshiped.

31 Katahi a Hetekia ka oho, ka mea, Na kua whakatapua nei koutou ki a Ihowa, neke mai, kawea mai nga patunga tapu, me nga whakawhetai ki te whare o Ihowa. Na kei te kawe mai te whakaminenga i nga patunga tapu, i nga whakawhetai, a he tahunga tinana ano ta nga ngakau hihiko katoa.

Then Hezekiah answered, "Now you have consecrated yourselves to the LORD; come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into the house of the LORD." The assembly brought in sacrifices and thank offerings; and as many as were of a willing heart brought burnt offerings.

32 Na, ko te maha o nga tahunga tinana i kawea nei e te whakaminenga, e whitu tekau kau, kotahi rau hipi toa, e rua rau reme. Ko enei katoa hei tahunga tinana ki a Ihowa.

The number of the burnt offerings which the assembly brought was seventy bulls, one hundred rams, and two hundred lambs: all these were for a burnt offering to the LORD.

33 Na, ko nga mea i whakatapua, e ono rau kau, e toru mano hipi.

The consecrated things were six hundred head of cattle and three thousand sheep.

34 Otiia he torutoru rawa nga tohunga, kihai i kaha ki te tihore i nga tahunga tinana katoa. Na ka pikitia ratou e o ratou teina, e nga Riwaiti, a oti noa te mahi, kia oti ra ano te whakatapu a nga tohunga i a ratou; engari hoki nga Riwaiti i nga t ohunga, i tika o ratou ngakau ki te whakatapu i a ratou.

But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all the burnt offerings: therefore their brothers the Levites helped them, until the work was ended, and until the priests had sanctified themselves; for the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests.

35 A he tini nga tahunga tinana, me te ngako o nga whakahere mo te pai, me nga ringihanga ano mo nga tahunga tinana. Heoi kua oti te mahi o te whare o Ihowa te whakatika.

Also the burnt offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace offerings, and with the drink offerings for every burnt offering. So the service of the house of the LORD was set in order.

36 Na koa tonu a Hetekia ratou ko te iwi katoa, mo ta te Atua i whakarite ai ma te iwi; he mea oho tata hoki tenei.

Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, because of that which God had prepared for the people: for the thing was done suddenly.
