2 Seenaa 29
1 Hisqiyaas yeroo mootii taʼetti nama waggaa digdamii shan ture; innis Yerusaalem keessa taaʼee waggaa digdamii sagal bulche. Maqaan haadha isaa Abiyaa ture; isheenis intala Zakkaariyaas.
And so Hezekiah began to reign when he was twenty-five years old. And he reigned for twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.
2 Innis akkuma Daawit abbaan isaa godhe sana fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan qajeelaa hojjete.
And he did what was pleasing in the sight of the Lord, in accord with all that his father David had done.
3 Inni bara mootummaa isaa keessa jiʼa jalqaba waggaa tokkoffaatti balbalawwan mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo ni bane; ni haaromses.
In the first year and month of his reign, he opened the double doors of the house of the Lord, and he repaired them.
4 Lubootaa fi Lewwota waamsisee oobdii karaa baʼa biiftuutiin jiru irratti walitti isaan qabee
And he brought together the priests and Levites. And he gathered them in the wide eastern street.
5 akkana jedheen; “Yaa Lewwota, mee na dhagaʼaa! Amma of qulqulleessaatii mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyo Waaqa abbootii keessanii illee qulqulleessaa. Waan xuraaʼaa hunda iddoo qulqulluu keessaa baasaa.
And he said to them: “Listen to me, O Levites, and be sanctified. Cleanse the house of the Lord, the God of your fathers, and take away every uncleanness from the sanctuary.
6 Abbootiin keenya sababii amanamoo hin turiniif fuula Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaa duratti waan hamaa hojjetanii isa irraa garagalan. Isaanis iddoo jireenya Waaqayyoo irraa fuula isaanii deebifatanii dugda isaanii isatti garagalchan.
Our fathers sinned and did evil in the sight of the Lord our God, abandoning him. They turned their faces away from the tabernacle of the Lord, and they presented their backs.
7 Akkasumas balbala gardaafoo cufanii ibsaawwan ni dhaamsan. Isaan Waaqa Israaʼeliif iddoo qulqulluutti ixaana hin aarsine yookaan aarsaa gubamu hin dhiʼeessine.
They closed up the doors which were in the portico, and they extinguished the lamps. And they did not burn incense, and they did not offer holocausts, in the sanctuary of the God of Israel.
8 Kanaafuu dheekkamsi Waaqayyoo Yihuudaa fi Yerusaalem irra buʼe; inni akkuma isin ija keessaniin arguu dandeessan kana nama qaanii, nama qoosaa fi nama kolfaa isaan godhe.
And so the fury of the Lord was stirred up against Judah and Jerusalem, and he handed them over to turmoil, and to destruction, and to hissing, just as you discern with your own eyes.
9 Sababiin abbootiin keenya goraadeedhaan dhumaniif, sababiin ilmaan keenya, intallanii fi niitonni keenya illee boojiʼamaniif kanuma.
Lo, our fathers have fallen by the sword. Our sons, and our daughters and wives have been led away as captives because of this wickedness.
10 Ani amma akka dheekkamsi isaa inni sodaachisaan sun nurraa deebiʼuuf Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel wajjin kakuu galuu yaadeera.
Now therefore, it is pleasing to me that we should enter into a covenant with the Lord, the God of Israel. And he will turn away the fury of his indignation from us.
11 Yaa ilmaan ko, egaa hin dagatinaa; Waaqayyo akka isin fuula isaa dura dhaabattaniif, akka isa tajaajiltaniif, akka fuula isaa duratti hojjettoota isaa taatanii ixaana aarsitaniif isin filateeraatii.”
My sons, do not choose to be negligent. The Lord has chosen you so that you would stand before him, and minister to him, and worship him, and burn incense to him.”
12 Ergasii Lewwonni kunneen hojiitti bobbaʼan; isaanis: Ilmaan Qohaatotaa keessaa, Mahat ilma Amaasaayii fi Yooʼeel ilma Azaariyaa; ilmaan Meraarotaa keessaa, Qiish ilma Abdii fi Azaariyaa ilma Yehaleliʼeel; ilmaan Geershoonotaa keessaa, Yooʼak ilma Zimaa fi Eeden ilma Yooʼaa;
Therefore, the Levites rose up, Mahath, the son of Amasai, and Joel, the son of Azariah, from the sons of Kohath; then, from the sons of Merari, Kish, the son of Abdi, and Azariah, the son of Jehallelel; and from the sons of Gershon, Joah, the son of Zimmah, and Eden, the son of Joah;
13 ilmaan Eliisaafaanotaa keessaa, Shimrii fi Yeʼiiʼeel; ilmaan Asaaf keessaa, Zakkaariyaasii fi Mataaniyaa;
and truly, from the sons of Elizaphan, Shimri and Jeuel; also, from the sons of Asaph, Zechariah and Mattaniah;
14 ilmaan Heemaan keessaa, Yehiiʼeelii fi Shimeʼii; ilmaan Yeduutuun keessaa, Shemaaʼiyaa fi Uziiʼeel.
indeed also, from the sons of Heman, Jehuel and Shimei; then too, from the sons of Jeduthun, Shemaiah and Uzziel.
15 Isaan erga obboloota isaanii walitti qabanii of qulqulleessanii booddee akkuma mootichi akka dubbii Waaqayyootti isaan ajajetti mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo qulqulleessuuf ol ni seenan.
And they gathered together their brothers. And they were sanctified. And they entered in accord with the command of the king and the order of the Lord, so that they might expiate the house of God.
16 Luboonnis mana Waaqayyoo qulqulleessuuf ol ni seenan. Isaanis waan mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessatti argan kan qulqulluu hin taʼin hunda gara oobdii mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootti gad baasan. Lewwonnis achii guuranii Sulula Qeedroonitti geessan.
And the priests, entering the temple of the Lord so that they might sanctify it, took every uncleanness, which they had found inside, out to the vestibule of the house of the Lord; and the Levites took it away and transported it outside, to the torrent Kidron.
17 Isaanis hojii qulqulleessuu kana guyyaa jalqaba jiʼa duraatii jalqabanii bultii saddeettaffaatti gardaafoo Waaqayyoo bira ni gaʼan. Guyyaa saddeet itti dabalanii mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo qulqulleessanii jiʼa tokkoffaa guyyaa kudha jaʼaffaatti fixan.
Now they began to cleanse on the first day of the first month. And on the eighth day of the same month, they entered the portico of the temple of the Lord. And then they expiated the temple over eight days. And on the sixteenth day of the same month, they finished what they had begun.
18 Isaanis gara Hisqiyaas Mootichaa dhaqanii akkana jedhaniin; “Nu guutummaa mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo, iddoo aarsaan gubamu itti dhiʼeeffamu miʼa isaa hunda wajjin, minjaala buddeenni qulqulleeffame irra kaaʼamu miʼa isaa hunda wajjin qulqulleessineerra.
Also, they entered to king Hezekiah, and they said to him: “We have sanctified the entire house of the Lord, and the altar of holocaust, and its vessels, indeed also the table of the presence, with all its vessels,
19 Miʼoota Aahaaz mootichi yeroo mootii turetti amanamummaa dhabee iddoo isaaniitii fuudhe hunda qulqulleessineerra; miʼoonni sunis fuula iddoo aarsaa Waaqayyoo dura jiru.”
and all the equipment of the temple, which king Ahaz, during his reign, had polluted after his transgression. And behold, these have all been set forth before the altar of the Lord.”
20 Hisqiyaas Mootichi guyyaa itti aanu ganama bariidhaan qondaaltota magaalaa walitti qabee gara mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootti ol baʼe.
And rising up at first light, king Hezekiah joined as one all the leaders of the city, and they ascended to the house of the Lord.
21 Isaanis mootummaaf, mana qulqullummaa fi Yihuudaaf korommii loonii torba, korbeeyyii hoolaa torba, xobbaallaawwan torbaa fi korbeeyyii reʼee torba aarsaa cubbuu godhanii ni dhiʼeessan. Mootichis akka isaan horii kanneen iddoo aarsaa Waaqayyoo irratti aarsaa dhiʼeessaniif luboota sanyii Aroon sana ni ajaje.
And together they offered seven bulls and seven rams, seven lambs and seven he-goats, for sin, for the kingdom, for the Sanctuary, for Judah. And he spoke to the priests, the sons of Aaron, so that they would offer these upon the altar of the Lord.
22 Luboonnis korommii loonii sana qalanii dhiiga isaanii iddoo aarsaa irratti faffacaasan; itti aansaniis korbeeyyii hoolaa qalanii dhiiga isaanii iddoo aarsaa irratti faffacaasan; ergasii immoo xobbaallaawwan qalanii dhiiga isaanii iddoo aarsaa irratti faffacaasan.
And so they slaughtered the bulls. And the priests took up the blood, and they poured it upon the altar. Then they also slaughtered the rams, and they poured their blood upon the altar. And they immolated the lambs, and they poured the blood upon the altar.
23 Reʼoonni aarsaa cubbuutiif fidamanis fuula mootichaa fi fuula waldaa duratti dhiʼeeffaman; jarris isaan irra harka isaanii kaaʼan.
They brought the he-goats for sin before the king and the entire multitude. And they laid their hands upon them.
24 Sababii mootichi aarsaa gubamuu fi aarsaa cubbuu Israaʼel hundaaf ajajeef luboonni reʼoota qalanii Israaʼel hundaaf araara buusuuf dhiiga isaanii iddoo aarsaa irratti dhiʼeessan.
And the priests immolated them, and they sprinkled their blood before the altar, for the expiation of all Israel. For certainly the king had instructed that the holocaust and the sin offering should be made on behalf of all Israel.
25 Innis akkuma Daawitii fi Gaad ilaaltuu mootichaa fi Naataan raajichaan ajajametti Lewwota kilillee, baganaa fi kiraara qabachiisee mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootti ramade; kunis ajaja Waaqayyo karaa raajota isaatiin kennee dha.
Also, he situated the Levites in the house of the Lord, with cymbals, and psalteries, and harps, according to the disposition of king David, and of the seer Gad, and of the prophet Nathan. For indeed, this was the precept of the Lord, by the hand of his prophets.
26 Kanaafuu Lewwonni miʼa faarfannaa kan Daawit, luboonni immoo malakata isaanii qabatanii qophaaʼanii dhaabatan.
And the Levites stood, holding the musical instruments of David, and the priests held the trumpets.
27 Hisqiyaas akka aarsaan gubamu iddoo aarsaa irratti dhiʼeeffamuuf ajaje. Akkuma aarsaan dhiʼeeffamuu jalqabeen faarfannaan malakataa fi miʼa faarfannaa kan Daawit mooticha Israaʼeliin Waaqayyoof faarfatamus ni jalqabame.
And Hezekiah ordered that they should offer holocausts upon the altar. And when the holocausts were being offered, they began to sing praises to the Lord, and to sound the trumpets, and to play various musical instruments, which David, the king of Israel, had prepared.
28 Waldaan guutuun gad jedhee sagade; faarfattoonni ni faarfatan; warri malakata afuufanis ni afuufan. Wanni kun hundi hamma aarsaan gubamu dhiʼeeffamee xumuramutti itti fufe.
Then the entire crowd was adoring, and the singers and those who were holding the trumpeters were exercising their office, until the holocaust was completed.
29 Yommuu aarsaa dhiʼeessuun xumurametti mootichii fi warri isa wajjin turan hundinuu jilbeenfatanii sagadan.
And when the oblation was finished, the king, and all who were with him, bowed down and adored.
30 Hisqiyaas Mootichii fi qondaaltonni isaa akka Lewwonni dubbii Daawitii fi dubbii Asaaf ilaaltuu sanaatiin Waaqayyoon galateeffatan ajajan. Kanaafuu isaan gammachuudhaan faarfannaa galataa faarfatanii gad jedhanii sagadan.
And Hezekiah and the rulers instructed the Levites to praise the Lord with the words of David, and of Asaph, the seer. And they praised him with great joy, and kneeling down, they adored.
31 Ergasiis Hisqiyaas, “Isin amma Waaqayyoof of qulqulleessitaniirtu. Kottaatii qalmaa fi aarsaa galataa mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootti galchaa” jedhe. Kanaafuu waldaan sun qalmaa fi aarsaa galataa dhiʼeesse; warri garaan isaanii jaallate hundis aarsaa gubamu dhiʼeessan.
And now Hezekiah also added: “You have filled your hands for the Lord. Draw near, and offer victims and praises in the house of the Lord.” Therefore, the entire multitude offered victims and praises and holocausts, with devout intention.
32 Aarsaan gubamu kan waldaan sun dhiʼeesses korommii loonii torbaatama, korbeeyyii hoolaa dhibba tokkoo fi xobbaallaawwan hoolaa dhibba lama ture; kunneen hundi aarsaa gubamu taʼanii Waaqayyoof dhiʼeeffaman.
Now the number of the holocausts that the multitude offered was seventy bulls, one hundred rams, two hundred lambs.
33 Horiin qulqulleeffamee qalmaaf dhiʼeeffame walumaa galatti korommii loonii dhibba jaʼaa fi hoolaa fi reʼee kuma sadii ture.
And they sanctified to the Lord six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep.
34 Haa taʼu malee horii aarsaaf dhiʼeeffaman irraa gogaa baasuuf lakkoobsi lubootaa gaʼaa hin turre; kanaafuu firoonni isaanii Lewwonni hamma hojiin sun dhumuttii fi hamma luboonni biraa qulqulleeffamanitti isaan gargaaran; Lewwonni ofii isaanii qulqulleessuutti luboota caalaa gara toloota turaniitii.
Truly, the priests were few; neither were they sufficient to remove the pelts from the holocausts. Therefore, the Levites, their brothers, also assisted them, until the work was completed, and the priests, who were of higher rank, were sanctified. For indeed, the Levites are sanctified with an easier ritual than the priests.
35 Cooma aarsaa nagaa fi dhibaayyuu aarsaa gubamu wajjin dhiʼeeffamu dabalatee aarsaan gubamu akka malee hedduutu ture. Akkasiin tajaajilli mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo akka duriitti deebiʼe.
Thus, there were very numerous holocausts, with the fat of the peace offerings and the libations of the holocausts. And the service of the house of the Lord was completed.
36 Hisqiyaasii fi namoonni hundi sababii waan Waaqni saba isaaf godheef ni gammadan; wanni kun dafee taʼeetii.
And Hezekiah and all the people were joyful because the ministry of the Lord was accomplished. For certainly, it had pleased them to do this suddenly.
