2 Imilando 29
1 UHezekhiya waba yinkosi eleminyaka engamatshumi amabili lanhlanu; wabusa iminyaka engamatshumi amabili lesificamunwemunye eJerusalema. Lebizo likanina lalinguAbhiya indodakazi kaZekhariya.
HOOMAKA iho la o Hezekia e alii i kona makahiki he iwakaluakumamalima, a he iwakaluakumamaiwa makahiki kona noho alii ana ma Ierusalema; a o ka inoa o kona makuwahine, o Abia, ke kaikamahine a Zekaria.
2 Wasesenza okuqondileyo emehlweni eNkosi njengokwenza konke kukaDavida uyise.
Hana pololei iho la oia imua i ke alo o Iehova, e like me na mea a pau a Davida kona kupuna i hana'i.
3 Yena, ngomnyaka wokuqala wokubusa kwakhe ngenyanga yokuqala, wavula iminyango yendlu yeNkosi, wayilungisa.
I ka makahiki mua o kona noho alii ana, a i ka malama mua no hoi, wehe ae la ia i na puka o ka hale o Iehova, a hana hou ia mau mea.
4 Wasengenisa abapristi lamaLevi, wababuthanisa egumeni elingasempumalanga.
Kii aku ia i na kahuna a me na Levi, a houluulu ia lakou ma ke ala ma ka hikina;
5 Wasesithi kubo: Ngilalelani, maLevi; khathesi zingcweliseni, njalo lingcwelise indlu yeNkosi uNkulunkulu waboyihlo, likhuphe ingcekeza endaweni engcwele.
Olelo aku la oia ia lakou, E hoolohe mai oukou ia'u, e na Levi; ano, e huikala oukou ia oukou iho, a e hoomaemae oukou i ka hale o Iehova ke Akua o ko oukou poe kupuna, a e lawe aku i na mea haumia mai kahi hoano aku.
6 Ngoba obaba babephambukile, benza okubi emehlweni eNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu, bayitshiya, baphendula ubuso babo bebususa endaweni yokuhlala yeNkosi, bafulathela.
No ka mea, ua lawehala ko kakou poe kupuna, ua hana ino lakou imua i ke alo o Iehova, ko kakou Akua, ua haalele lakou ia ia, ua huli ko lakou maka mai ka halelewa o Iehova aku, a ua haawi mai lakou i ke kua.
7 Bavala leminyango yekhulusi, bacitsha izibane, kabatshisanga impepha, kabanikelanga umnikelo wokutshiswa kuNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli endaweni engcwele.
A ua pani lakou i na puka o ka lanai, ua kinai i na kukui, aole lakou i kuni i ka mea ala, aole hoi i mohai aku lakou i kekahi mohai ma kahi hoano o ke Akua o ka Iseraela.
8 Ngakho ulaka lweNkosi lwaba phezu kukaJuda leJerusalema, yabanikela evalweni, ekuchithekeni, lekuncifelweni, njengoba libona ngamehlo enu.
No ia mea, ua kauia mai ka huhu o Iehova maluna o ka Iuda, a me ko Ierusalema, a ua haawi oia ia lakou i ka hana ino ia mai, a me ka heneheneia mai, a me ka hoowahawahaia mai, e like me ka mea a ko oukou mau maka i ike iho nei.
9 Ngoba khangelani, obaba bawile ngenkemba, lamadodana ethu lamadodakazi ethu labomkethu basekuthunjweni ngenxa yalokhu.
Aia hoi, ua haule ko kakou poe kupuna i ka pahikaua, a o ka kakou poe keiki kane, a me na kaikamahine a kakou, a me na wahine a kakou, he poe pio lakou no keia hewa.
10 Khathesi kusenhliziyweni yami ukwenza isivumelwano leNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, ukuze ukuvutha kolaka lwayo kuphenduke kusuke kithi.
Ano, eia no iloko o ko'u naau e hana i berita me Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela, i huli ae kona huhu wela mai o kakou aku.
11 Madodana ami, khathesi lingonwabi, ngoba iNkosi ilikhethile ukuthi lime phambi kwayo, liyikhonze, libe zinceku zayo labatshisi bempepha.
Ano, e ka'u poe keiki, mai lalau oukou; no ka mea, ua wae mai o Iehova ia oukou e ku imua ona e hookauwa nana, a e lawelawe i kana mau oihana, a e kuni i ka mea ala.
12 Asesukuma amaLevi, oMahathi indodana kaAmasayi loJoweli indodana kaAzariya emadodaneni amaKohathi; lemadodaneni kaMerari oKishi indodana kaAbidi loAzariya indodana kaJehaleleli; lakumaGerishoni oJowa indodana kaZima loEdeni indodana kaJowa;
Alaila, ku ae la iluna na Levi, o Mahata, ke keiki a Amasai, a me Ioela, ke keiki a Azaria, no ka poe mamo a Kohata; a no ka poe mamo a Merari, o Kisa ke keiki a Abedi, a me Azaria ke keiki a Iehalelela; a o ka poe mamo a Geresoma, o Ioa ke keiki a Zima, a o Edena ke keiki a Ioa;
13 lemadodaneni kaElizafani oShimiri loJehiyeli; lemadodaneni kaAsafi oZekhariya loMathaniya;
A no ka poe mamo a Elizapana, o Simeri, a me Ieila; a no ka poe mamo a Asapa, o Zekaria, a me Matania;
14 lemadodaneni kaHemani oJehiyeli loShimeyi; lemadodaneni kaJeduthuni oShemaya loUziyeli.
A no ka poe mamo a Hemana, o Iehiela, a me Simei; a no ka poe mamo a Iedutuna, o Semaia a me Uziela.
15 Basebebuthanisa abafowabo, bazingcwelisa, beza njengomlayo wenkosi ngamazwi kaJehova, ukuhlanza indlu kaJehova.
A houluulu lakou i ko lakou poe hoahanau, a huikala ia lakou iho, a hele mai e like me ke kauoha a ke alii, a me ka olelo a Iehova, e hoomaemae i ka hale o Iehova.
16 Abapristi basebengena ngaphakathi kwendlu yeNkosi ukuyihlanza, bakhupha konke ukungcola abakuthola ethempelini leNkosi egumeni lendlu yeNkosi; lamaLevi akuthatha, akukhuphela esifuleni iKidroni ngaphandle.
A komo na kahuna iloko lilo o ka hale o Iehova e hoomaemae, a lawe lakou iwaho i na mea maemae ole a pau i loaa ia lakou ma ka luakini o Iehova, a waiho ma ke kahua o ka hale o Iehova. A lawe ka poe mamo a Levi ia mau mea, a hali aku i ke kahawai o Kiderona.
17 Basebeqala ukungcwelisa ngolokuqala lwenyanga yokuqala, njalo ngosuku lwesificaminwembili lwenyanga bafika ekhulusini leNkosi; bangcwelisa indlu yeNkosi ngensuku eziyisificaminwembili; kwathi ngosuku lwetshumi lesithupha lwenyanga yokuqala baqeda.
Hoomaka lakou e hoomaemae i ka la mua o ka malama mua, a i ka la ewalu o ua malama la ua hiki lakou i ka lanai o Iehova; pela i hoomaemae ai lakou i ka hale o Iehova i na la ewalu, a i ka la umikumamaono o ka malama mua, hoopau ae la lakou.
18 Basebengena phakathi kuHezekhiya inkosi bathi: Sesiyihlanzile yonke indlu yeNkosi, lelathi lomnikelo wokutshiswa, lezitsha zalo zonke, letafula lezinkwa zokubukiswa, lezitsha zalo zonke.
A komo lakou iloko io Hezekia la, ke alii, a olelo aku la ia ia, Ua hoomaemae makou i ka hale o Iehova a pau, a me ke kuahu mohai, a me ko laila mau kiaha a pau, a me ka papa berena hoike, a me ko laila mau kiaha a pau.
19 Lazo zonke izitsha inkosi uAhazi eyayizilahlile ekubuseni kwayo, esiphambekweni sayo, sizilungisile sazingcwelisa, khangela-ke, ziphambi kwelathi leNkosi.
A me na kiaha a pau a ke alii a Ahaza i kiola aku ai, i kona lawehala ana i kona wa i noho alii ai, hoomakaukau makou, a hoomaemae no hoi, aia hoi ia mau mea imua o ke kuahu o Iehova.
20 UHezekhiya inkosi wasevuka ngovivi, wabuthanisa izinduna zomuzi, wenyukela endlini kaJehova.
A kakahiaka nui ala ae la o Hezekia, ke alii, a houluulu i na alii o ke kulanakauhale, a pii aku i ka hale o Iehova.
21 Basebeletha amajongosi ayisikhombisa lenqama eziyisikhombisa lamawundlu ayisikhombisa lempongo eziyisikhombisa, kwaba ngumnikelo wesono sombuso lesendlu engcwele lesakoJuda. Wasesithi emadodaneni kaAroni, abapristi, akunikele phezu kwelathi leNkosi.
A lawe mai lakou i ehiku bipi kane, a me na hipa keiki ehiku, a me na kao kane ehiku, i mohaihala no ke aupuni, a no ke keenakapu, a no ka Iuda; a kauoha aku la ia i na mamo a Aarona, i na kahuna, e mohai aku ia mau mea maluna o ke kuahu o Iehova.
22 Basebehlaba izinkabi, labapristi bemukela igazi balifafaza elathini; bahlaba lezinqama bafafaza igazi elathini; bahlaba lamawundlu bafafaza igazi elathini.
A pepehi iho la lakou i na bipi, a lawe na kahuna i ke koko, a kapipi iho la maluna o ke kuahu; a pepehi no hoi lakou i na hipa kane, a kapipi iho la i ke koko maluna o ke kuahu; a pepehi lakou i na hipa keiki no hoi, a kapipi iho la i ke koko maluna o ke kuahu.
23 Basebesondeza impongo zomnikelo wesono phambi kwenkosi lebandla, babeka izandla zabo phezu kwazo.
A kai mai la lakou i na kao kane i mohaihala imua o ke alii, a me ka ahakanaka; a kau lakou i ko lakou mau lima maluna o ia mau mea:
24 Abapristi basebezihlaba, benza ukubuyisana ngegazi lazo phezu kwelathi ukwenzela uIsrayeli wonke inhlawulo yokuthula. Ngoba inkosi yalaya: Umnikelo wokutshiswa lomnikelo wesono ngokaIsrayeli wonke.
A pepehi na kahuna ia mau mea, a mohai aku i ko lakou koko maluna o ke kuahu, i mea e uhi ai i ka hala no ka Iseraela a pau; no ka mea, no ka Iseraela a pau i kauoha ai ke alii i ka mohaikuni a me ka mohaihala.
25 Wasebeka amaLevi endlini kaJehova elensimbi ezincencethayo, lezigubhu zezintambo, njalo lamachacho, njengomlayo kaDavida lokaGadi umboni wenkosi lokaNathani umprofethi; ngoba lumlayo wawungesandla sikaJehova ngesandla sabaprofethi bakhe.
A hoonoho iho la oia i na Levi iloko o ka hale o Iehova me na kimebala, a me na pesaletera, a me na mea kani, e like me ke kauoha a Davida, a me Gada ke kumu a ke alii, a me Natana ke kaula: no ka mea, pela ke kauoha a Iehova ma na kaula.
26 LamaLevi ema elezinto zokuhlabelela zikaDavida labapristi belempondo.
A ku ae la iluna na Levi me na mea kani a Davida, a o na kahuna kekahi me na pu.
27 UHezekhiya waselaya ukunikela umnikelo wokutshiswa phezu kwelathi; kwathi ngesikhathi umnikelo wokutshiswa uqalisa, ingoma yeNkosi yaqalisa kanye lezimpondo, langezandla zezinto zokuhlabelela zikaDavida inkosi yakoIsrayeli.
Alaila, kauoha o Hezekia e mohai aku i ka mohai maluna o ke kuahu; a i ka wa i hoomaka ai lakou e mohai aku, hoomaka no hoi ka himeni o Iehova me na pu a me na mea kani, a Davida ke alii o ka Iseraela.
28 Lebandla lonke lakhonza, labahlabeleli bahlabelela, labakhalisi bempondo bakhalisa; konke lokhu, kwaze kwaphela umnikelo wokutshiswa.
A o ka ahakanaka a pau loa, kulou iho la lakou, a himeni aku ka poe himeni, puhi no hoi ka poe puhi pu; a hana pela a pau ka mohai ana.
29 Lekupheleleni kokunikela inkosi labo bonke abatholakala layo bakhothama bakhonza.
A pau ae la ka mohai ana, kulou iho la ke alii, a me ka poe malaila pu me ia a pau, a hoomana aku la.
30 Khona uHezekhiya inkosi leziphathamandla bathi kumaLevi kawayidumise iNkosi ngamazwi kaDavida lakaAsafi umboni. Asedumisa kwaze kwaba yintokozo, akhothama akhonza.
Alaila, kauoha ae la o Hezekia ke alii, a me na kaukaualii i na Levi, e hoomaikai aku ia Iehova ma na olelo a Davida, a me Asapa ke kaula. A hoomaikai aku lakou me ka olioli, kulou iho la, a hoomana aku la.
31 UHezekhiya wasephendula wathi: Selizehlukanisele iNkosi; sondelani lilethe imihlatshelo leminikelo yokubonga endlini yeNkosi. Ibandla laseliletha imihlatshelo leminikelo yokubonga, laye wonke olenhliziyo ekhululekileyo, iminikelo yokutshiswa.
Olelo mai la o Hezekia, i mai la, Ano, ua hoolaa oukou ia oukou iho no Iehova, e hele mai, a e lawe mai i na mohai, a me na mohai aloha i ka hale o Iehova. A lawe mai ka ahakanaka i na alana, a me na mohai aloha; a o ka poe a pau i makemake ka naau, lawe mai lakou i na mohaikuni.
32 Lenani leminikelo yokutshiswa ibandla elayilethayo lalizinkunzi ezingamatshumi ayisikhombisa, inqama ezilikhulu, amawundlu angamakhulu amabili; konke lokhu kwakungokomnikelo wokutshiswa eNkosini.
O na mohaikuni ma ka helu ana, a ka ahakanaka i lawe mai ai, he kanahiku bipi, hookahi haneri hipa kane, a elua haneri hipa keiki: no ka mohaikuni ia Iehova keia mau mea a pau loa.
33 Izinto ezazingcwelisiwe kwakuzinkunzi ezingamakhulu ayisithupha lezimvu ezizinkulungwane ezintathu.
A o na mea i hoolaaia, eono haneri bipi, a ekolu tausani hipa.
34 Kodwa abapristi babebalutshwana, okokuthi babengelakho ukuhlinza yonke iminikelo yokutshiswa; ngakho abafowabo amaLevi babancedisa waze waphela umsebenzi, labapristi baze bazingcwelisa, ngoba amaLevi ayeqondile ngenhliziyo kulabapristi ukuzingcwelisa.
Aka, aole i nui ka poe kahuna, aole hiki ia lakou wale no ke pepehi i na mohaikuni a pau: no ia mea, kokua mai ko lakou poe hoahanau, o na Levi, a hiki i ka pau ana o ka hana, a i ka wa hoi i huikala mai ai ka poe kahuna ia lakou iho; no ka mea, ua oi aku ka pololei o ka naau o na Levi e huikala ia lakou iho mamua o na kahuna.
35 Leminikelo yokutshiswa layo yayiminengi, lamahwahwa eminikelo yokuthula kanye leminikelo yokunathwayo yeminikelo yokutshiswa. Ngokunjalo inkonzo yendlu yeNkosi yamiswa.
Ua nui loa no hoi na mohaikuni me ka momona o na mohai aloha, a me na mohai inu, no kela mohaikuni, keia mohaikuni. Pela i hooponoponoia'i na oihana o ka hale o Iehova.
36 UHezekhiya labantu bonke basebethokoza ngalokho uNkulunkulu ayekulungisele abantu, ngoba into yahle yenzeka.
A hauoli o Hezekia a me na kanaka a pau i ko ke Akua hoomakaukau ana i na kanaka; no ka mea, hiki wawe no ka hana.
