2 Imilando 31
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.
A PAU ae la keia mau mea a pau, hele iwaho ka Iseraela a pau i hoakoakoaia ma na kulanakauhale o ka Iuda, a kuipalu iho la i na kii, a oki liilii i na kii no Asetarota. a wawahi i na wahi kiekie, a me na kuahu ma Iuda a pau, a me Beniamina, a me Eperaima no hoi, a me Manase, a pau ae la ia mau mea. Alaila, hoi na mamo a Iseraela a pau, kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona aina hooili, i ko lakou mau kulanakauhale iho.
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.
A hoonoho o Hezekia i na papa o ka poe kahuna, a me na Levi, e like me ko lakou papa, o kela kanaka keia kanaka e like me kana oihana, i na kahuna a me na Levi ma ka mohaikuni a me na mohai aloha, e lawelawe, a e hoomaikai aku, a e hoolea aku ma na puka o na halelewa o Iehova.
3 Inkosi yapha okuvela kweyayo inotho iminikelo yokutshiswa yekuseni lantambama kanye lokweminikelo yokutshiswa ngamaSabatha, leyokuThwasa kweziNyanga kanye leyemikhosi emisiweyo njengokulotshiweyo eMthethweni kaThixo.
Hoomaopopo no hoi oia i kauwahi noloko mai o ka waiwai a ke alii, i mau mohaikuni, i mau mohai no ke kakahiaka, a me ke ahiahi; i mau mohai no na Sabati, a no na mahina hou, a no na ahaaina, e like me ka mea i kakauia iloko o ke kanawai o Iehova.
4 Inkosi yathi abantu abahlala eJerusalema kumele banike abaphristi labaLevi imfanelo yabo ukuze basebenze ngokuzinikela eMthethweni kaThixo.
Olelo ia i na kanaka i ka poe i noho ma Ierusalema, e haawi aku i ka haawina o ka poe kahuna, a me na Levi i ikaika lakou ma ke kanawai o Iehova.
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.
A hoolahaia keia olelo, hoonui iho la ka poe mamo a Iseraela i ka ohi mua ana o ka ai, a me ka waina, a me ka aila, a me ka meli, a me na mea a pau o ke kihapai i ohiia'i; a lawe nui mai lakou i ka hapaumi o ia mau mea a pau.
6 Amadoda ako-Israyeli lawakoJuda ayehlala emizini yakoJuda lawo aletha okwetshumi kwemihlambi yenkomo leyezimvu zawo lezinto ezingcwele zokunikela kuThixo uNkulunkulu wawo, azibuthelela inqwabanqwaba.
A o na mamo a Iseraela, a me ka Iuda, ka poe noho ma na kulanakauhale o Iuda, lawe mai lakou i ka hapaumi o na bipi, a me na hipa, a me ka hapaumi o na mea laa i hoolaaia ia Iehova ko lakou Akua, a waiho akoakoa lakou ia mau mea, he puu okoa no, a he puu okoa.
7 Baqalisa ukukwenza lokhu ngenyanga yesithathu baze baqeda ngenyanga yesikhombisa.
I ka malama ekolu, hoomaka lakou e hookumu i na puu, a i ka malama ehiku, ua hoopau lakou.
8 UHezekhiya lezikhulu zakhe befika bebona lezozinqwabanqwaba badumisa uThixo njalo babusisa abantu bakhe bako-Israyeli.
Alaila, hiki mai o Hezekia, a me na alii, a ike i na puu, a hoomaikai lakou ia Iehova, a i kona poe kanaka i ka Iseraela.
9 UHezekhiya wabuza abaphristi labaLevi ngenqwabanqwaba;
Ninau o Hezekia i na kahuna a me na Levi no na puu.
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.”
Hai mai o Azaria, ke kahuna nui, no ka hale o Zadoka, i mai la, Mai ka hoomaka ana mai e lawe i ka mohai iloko o ka hale o Iehova, he ai no a maona, a koe no ka nui; no ka mea, ua hoomaikai mai o Iehova i kona poe kanaka; a eia ke koena, o keia mea he nui no.
11 UHezekhiya wapha imilayo yokuba kwakhiwe iziphala ethempelini likaThixo, lakanye lokho kwenziwa.
Alaila, kauoha o Hezekia e hoomakaukau i na keena oluna ma ka hale o Iehova: a hoomakaukau iho la lakou,
12 Ngakho baqhubeka beletha izipho ngokwethembeka, lokwetshumi kanye lezipho eziqakathekileyo. UKhenaniya induna enkulu, umLevi, wayephethe lezizinto, njalo umfowabo uShimeyi wayengumsekeli wakhe.
A lawe iloko no lakou me ka oiaio i na makana, a me ka hookupu hapaumi, a me na mea i hoolaaia; a o ka luna maluna o keia mau mea oia o Konania ka Levi, a o Simei o kona hoahanau ka lua.
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.
A o Iehiela, a me Azaria, a me Nahata, o Asahela a me Iremota, a me Iozabada, o Eliela, a me Isemakia, a o Mahata, a me Benaia oia ka poe luna, malalo iho o Konania, a me Simei, kona hoahanau, ma ke kanawai o Hezekia ke alii, a me Azaria, ka luna o ka hale o ke Akua.
14 UKhore indodana ka-Imna umLevi, owayengumlindi weSango langeMpumalanga, wayephethe iminikelo yokuzithandela kuNkulunkulu, enguye owaba okunikelwe kuThixo kanye lezipho ezingcwelisiweyo.
A o Kore ke keiki a Imena o ka Levi, ka mea kiai puka ma ka hikina, maluna oia o na makana no ke Akua, e haawi i na makana no Iehova a me na mea i hoolaa loa ia.
15 U-Edeni, loMiniyamini, loJeshuwa, loShemaya, lo-Amariya kanye loShekhaniya bamncedisa kakhulu bethembekile emizini yabaphristi, besabelana kusiya ngezigaba zabaphristi, abadala labatsha, ngokufananayo.
A mahope ona, o Edena, a me Miniamina, a me Iesua, a me Semaia, a me Amaria, a me Sikania, ma na kulanakauhale o na kahuna, e haawi maopopo na ko lakou poe hoahanau, ma na papa, e like me ka mea nui, pela no ka mea uuku.
16 Phezu kwalokho, babesabela abesilisa kusukela kwabaleminyaka emithathu ngokulotshwa egwalweni lokuzalana kwabo bonke ababezangena ethempelini likaThixo besiyakwenza imisebenzi etshiyeneyo kusiya ngemilandu yabo ngezigaba zabo.
A okoa ka haawi ana ma ko lakou kuauhau mai ka poe kane o na makahiki ekolu, a maluna ae, a hiki i ka poe a pau i komo iloko o ka hale o Iehova, i wahi mea i kela la keia la, no ko lakou lawelawe ana ma ka lakou mau oihana e like me ko lakou mau papa;
17 Babela abaphristi ngezimuli zabo njengokulotshiweyo egwalweni lokuzalana kwabo njalo kwabanjalo lakubaLevi abaleminyaka engamatshumi amabili yokuzalwa labadala, kusiya ngemisebenzi yabo langezigaba zabo.
A me ke kuauhau o na kahuna e like me ko ka hale o ko lakou poe kupuna, a i na Levi, mai ka makahiki iwakalua a oi aku, ma ka lakou mau oihana, a me ko lakou mau papa:
18 Lokhu kwakuhlanganisa abantwana, abesifazane kanye lamadodana lamadodakazi esigaba sonke kwabasegwalweni lokuzalana kwabo. Ngoba babethembekile ngokuzahlala bengcwele.
A me ke kuauhau o ka lakou poe keiki liilii, a me ka lakou mau wahine, a me ka lakou poe keikikane, a me ka lakou poe kaikamahine, i ka ahakanaka a pau; no ka mea, e like me ka mea mau ia lakou, huikala iho la lakou ia lakou iho:
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.
A i ka poe mamo a Aarona ke kahuna ma na kula, kahi e pili ana i ko lakou mau kulanakauhale, ma kela kulanakauhale, keia kulanakauhale, o na kanaka i kapaia ko lakou mau inoa, e haawi i na makana na ka poe kane a pau o na kahuna, a na na Levi a pau i kuauhauia.
20 Lokhu yikho okwenziwa nguHezekhiya kulolonke elakoJuda, esenza okufaneleyo lokulungileyo ngokwethemba kuThixo uNkulunkulu wakhe.
Pela i hana'i o Hezekia ma Iuda a pau, hana maikai no ia, a me ka pololei, a me ka oiaio imua o Iehova, kona Akua.
21 Kukho konke ayekwenza emsebenzini wethempeli likaNkulunkulu lasekulaleleni kwakhe umthetho lemilayo, wadinga uNkulunkulu njalo wasebenza ngenhliziyo yakhe yonke. Ngalokho waphumelela.
I na hana a pau ana i hoomaka'i, i mea e hookauwa aku ai na ka hale o ke Akua, a me ke kanawai, a me ke kauoha, e imi aku i kona Akua, me kona naau a pau oia kana i hana'i, a ua kokuaia mai.
