1 Sekuphelile konke lokhu abako-Israyeli ababesemkhosini bangena emizini yakoJuda, badiliza izinsika zokukhonzela u-Ashera. Badiliza izindawo zokukhonzela lama-alithare kulolonke elakoJuda lakoBhenjamini kanye lako-Efrayimi lakoManase. Bathe sebekudilizile konke lokhu, abako-Israyeli babuyela emizini yabo, ezindaweni zabo.
Sa’ad da aka gama dukan wannan, sai Isra’ilawan da suke can suka fita zuwa garuruwan Yahuda, suka rurrushe keɓaɓɓun duwatsu suka kuma farfashe ginshiƙan Ashera. Suka rurrushe masujadan kan tudu da bagadai, ko’ina a Yahuda da Benyamin da kuma cikin Efraim da Manasse. Bayan sun rurrushe dukansu, sai Isra’ilawa suka koma garuruwansu, kowanne zuwa mahallinsa.
2 UHezekhiya wamisa abaphristi labaLevi ngezigaba ngamunye wabo kusiya ngemisebenzi yabo yobuphristi kumbe eyabaLevi eyokunikela ngeminikelo yokutshiswa leminikelo yobudlelwano, ukukhonza, ukubonga kanye lokuhlabelela indumiso emasangweni endaweni ehlala uThixo.
Hezekiya kuma ya raba firistoci da Lawiyawa kashi-kashi, kowanne da hidimarsa, firistoci da Lawiyawa, don hadayu na ƙonawa da na salama, su yi hidima, su yi godiya, su kuma rera yabai a ƙofofin mazaunin Ubangiji.
3 Inkosi yapha okuvela kweyayo inotho iminikelo yokutshiswa yekuseni lantambama kanye lokweminikelo yokutshiswa ngamaSabatha, leyokuThwasa kweziNyanga kanye leyemikhosi emisiweyo njengokulotshiweyo eMthethweni kaThixo.
Sarki ya ba da taimako daga mallakarsa domin hadayun ƙonawa, safe da yamma da kuma don hadayun ƙonawa a Asabbatai, Sabon Wata da kuma ƙayyadaddun bukukkuwa kamar yadda yake a rubuce a cikin Dokar Ubangiji.
4 Inkosi yathi abantu abahlala eJerusalema kumele banike abaphristi labaLevi imfanelo yabo ukuze basebenze ngokuzinikela eMthethweni kaThixo.
Ya umarci mutanen da suke zama a Urushalima su ba da rabon da yake na firistoci da Lawiyawa, don su ƙwallafa ransu ga Dokar Ubangiji.
5 Masinyazana ngemva kwesiqondiso, abako-Israyeli banikela kakhulu ngokwesivuno sakuqala samabele, lokwewayini elitsha, lokwamafutha lokwenyosi lakho konke okwakutholakala emasimini. Baletha okunengi kakhulu, okwetshumi kukho konke.
Nan da nan aka baza umarnin, sai Isra’ilawa suka bayar’ya’yan farin hatsinsu, sabon ruwan inabi, mai da kuma zuma da dukan abin da gona ta bayar, hannu sake. Suka kawo zakan kowane abu da yawa.
6 Amadoda ako-Israyeli lawakoJuda ayehlala emizini yakoJuda lawo aletha okwetshumi kwemihlambi yenkomo leyezimvu zawo lezinto ezingcwele zokunikela kuThixo uNkulunkulu wawo, azibuthelela inqwabanqwaba.
Mutanen Isra’ila da Yahuda waɗanda suke zama a garuruwan Yahuda, su ma suka kawo zakan shanu da na tumaki da kuma zakan abubuwa masu tsarki da aka keɓe ga Ubangiji Allahnsu, suka jibge su tsibi-tsibi.
7 Baqalisa ukukwenza lokhu ngenyanga yesithathu baze baqeda ngenyanga yesikhombisa.
Sun fara yin haka a wata na uku, suka kuma gama a wata na bakwai.
8 UHezekhiya lezikhulu zakhe befika bebona lezozinqwabanqwaba badumisa uThixo njalo babusisa abantu bakhe bako-Israyeli.
Sa’ad da Hezekiya da fadawansa suka zo suka ga tsibin, sai suka yabi Ubangiji, suka kuma albarkace mutanensa Isra’ila.
9 UHezekhiya wabuza abaphristi labaLevi ngenqwabanqwaba;
Hezekiya ya tambayi firistoci da Lawiyawa game da tsibin;
10 u-Azariya umphristi omkhulu, owendlu kaZadokhi wamphendula wathi, “Kusukela abantu beqalise ukuletha iminikelo yabo ethempelini likaThixo, sesizuze ukudla okunengi njalo okusalayo kunengi kakhulu, ngoba uThixo ubabusisile abantu bakhe, yikho kulalokhu okunengi kangaka okuseleyo.”
sai Azariya babban firist, daga iyalin Zadok ya amsa, “Tun daga lokacin da mutane suka fara kawo taimakonsu ga haikalin Ubangiji, muna da isashe don abinci da kuma da yawa da za mu rage, domin Ubangiji ya albarkaci mutanensa, saboda haka abin da ya ragu a rumbu yana da yawa.”
11 UHezekhiya wapha imilayo yokuba kwakhiwe iziphala ethempelini likaThixo, lakanye lokho kwenziwa.
Hezekiya ya ba da umarni a shirya ɗakunan ajiya a haikalin Ubangiji, aka kuwa yi haka.
12 Ngakho baqhubeka beletha izipho ngokwethembeka, lokwetshumi kanye lezipho eziqakathekileyo. UKhenaniya induna enkulu, umLevi, wayephethe lezizinto, njalo umfowabo uShimeyi wayengumsekeli wakhe.
Sa’an nan cikin aminci suka kawo taimako, zakka da keɓaɓɓun kyautai. Konaniya, wani Balawe, shi ne ke lura da waɗannan abubuwa, kuma ɗan’uwansa Shimeyi shi ne na biye da shi.
13 UJehiyeli, lo-Azaziya, loNahathi, lo-Asaheli, loJerimothi, loJozabhadi, lo-Eliyeli, lo-Isimakhiya loMahathi kanye loBhenaya babekhangele umsebenzi bengaphansi kukaKhenaniya lomfowabo uShimeyi, njengokukhethwa kwabo yinkosi uHezekhiya lo-Azariya isikhulu esasikhangele ithempeli likaNkulunkulu.
Yehiyel, Azaziya, Nahat, Asahel, Yerimot, Yozabad, Eliyel, Ismakiya, Mahat da Benahiya su ne shugabanni, mataimakan Konaniya da Shimeyi ɗan’uwansa, waɗanda sarki Hezekiya da Azariya babban shugaban haikalin Allah suka naɗa.
14 UKhore indodana ka-Imna umLevi, owayengumlindi weSango langeMpumalanga, wayephethe iminikelo yokuzithandela kuNkulunkulu, enguye owaba okunikelwe kuThixo kanye lezipho ezingcwelisiweyo.
Kore ɗan Imna Balawe, mai tsaron Ƙofar Gabas, shi ne yake lura da baikon yardan ran da aka yi wa Allah, don ya karkasa bayarwar da aka keɓe domin Ubangiji da hadayu mafi tsarki.
15 U-Edeni, loMiniyamini, loJeshuwa, loShemaya, lo-Amariya kanye loShekhaniya bamncedisa kakhulu bethembekile emizini yabaphristi, besabelana kusiya ngezigaba zabaphristi, abadala labatsha, ngokufananayo.
Eden, Miniyamin, Yeshuwa, Shemahiya, Amariya da Shekaniya sun taimake shi da aminci a cikin garuruwan firistoci, suna ba da rabo wa’yan’uwansu firistoci bisa ga sassansu, tsofaffi da yara.
16 Phezu kwalokho, babesabela abesilisa kusukela kwabaleminyaka emithathu ngokulotshwa egwalweni lokuzalana kwabo bonke ababezangena ethempelini likaThixo besiyakwenza imisebenzi etshiyeneyo kusiya ngemilandu yabo ngezigaba zabo.
Bugu da ƙari, suka ba da rabo ga maza’yan shekaru uku ko fiye waɗanda sunayensu suna a tarihin zuriya, dukan waɗanda ba za su iya shiga haikalin Ubangiji su yi ayyukansu na kullum ba, bisa ga nawayarsu da kuma sassansu.
17 Babela abaphristi ngezimuli zabo njengokulotshiweyo egwalweni lokuzalana kwabo njalo kwabanjalo lakubaLevi abaleminyaka engamatshumi amabili yokuzalwa labadala, kusiya ngemisebenzi yabo langezigaba zabo.
Suka kuma ba da rabo ga firistocin da aka rubuta ta iyalansu cikin tarihin zuriya, haka kuma ga Lawiyawa masu shekara ashirin ko fiye, bisa ga nawayarsu da kuma sassansu.
18 Lokhu kwakuhlanganisa abantwana, abesifazane kanye lamadodana lamadodakazi esigaba sonke kwabasegwalweni lokuzalana kwabo. Ngoba babethembekile ngokuzahlala bengcwele.
Suka haɗa da dukan ƙanana’ya’yansu, mata, da kuma’ya’ya maza da’ya’ya mata, al’umma gaba ɗaya da aka jera a waɗannan tarihin zuriya. Gama sun yi aminci cikin tsarkake kansu.
19 Abaphristi abayinzalo ka-Aroni, ababehlala eziqintini eduzane lamadolobho loba kwamanye amadolobho, babeqanjwe ngamabizo ukuthi babelane iziqa baze babele lalabo bonke ababelotshiwe ezingwalweni zokuzalana kwabaLevi.
Akwai mutane a garuruwa da yawa waɗanda aka sa don su rarraba wa’ya’yan Haruna, firist, maza, waɗanda suke zaune a gonaki na ƙasar garuruwansu su ba kowane namijin da aka rubuta na Lawiyawa, rabonsa.
20 Lokhu yikho okwenziwa nguHezekhiya kulolonke elakoJuda, esenza okufaneleyo lokulungileyo ngokwethemba kuThixo uNkulunkulu wakhe.
Abin da Hezekiya ya yi ke nan ko’ina a Yahuda, yana yin abin da yake da kyau, daidai da kuma mai aminci a gaban Ubangiji Allahnsa.
21 Kukho konke ayekwenza emsebenzini wethempeli likaNkulunkulu lasekulaleleni kwakhe umthetho lemilayo, wadinga uNkulunkulu njalo wasebenza ngenhliziyo yakhe yonke. Ngalokho waphumelela.
Cikin kome da ya yi cikin hidimar haikalin Allah, cikin biyayya kuma ga doka da umarnai, ya nemi Allahnsa, ya kuma yi aiki gabagadi. Ta haka kuwa ya yi nasara.
