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.

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

2 Innis akkuma Daawit abbaan isaa godhe sana fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan qajeelaa hojjete.

And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that David his father had done.

3 Inni bara mootummaa isaa keessa jiʼa jalqaba waggaa tokkoffaatti balbalawwan mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo ni bane; ni haaromses.

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 Lubootaa fi Lewwota waamsisee oobdii karaa baʼa biiftuutiin jiru irratti walitti isaan qabee

And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them in the east 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 said to them, Hear me, ye Levites, sanctify now yourselves, and sanctify the house of the LORD God of your fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the holy place.

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.

For our fathers have trespassed, and done that which was evil in the eyes 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 Akkasumas balbala gardaafoo cufanii ibsaawwan ni dhaamsan. Isaan Waaqa Israaʼeliif iddoo qulqulluutti ixaana hin aarsine yookaan aarsaa gubamu hin dhiʼeessine.

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 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.

Therefore the wrath of the LORD hath been upon Judah and Jerusalem, and he hath delivered them to trouble, to astonishment, and to hissing, as ye see with your eyes.

9 Sababiin abbootiin keenya goraadeedhaan dhumaniif, sababiin ilmaan keenya, intallanii fi niitonni keenya illee boojiʼamaniif kanuma.

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

10 Ani amma akka dheekkamsi isaa inni sodaachisaan sun nurraa deebiʼuuf Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel wajjin kakuu galuu yaadeera.

Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with the LORD God of Israel, that his fierce wrath may turn away 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, be not now negligent: for the LORD hath chosen you to stand before him, to serve him, and that ye should minister to him, and burn incense.

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;

Then the Levites arose, Mahath the son of Amasai, and Joel the son of Azariah, of the sons of the Kohathites: and of the sons of Merari, Kish the son of Abdi, and Azariah the son of Jehalelel: and of the Gershonites; 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 of the sons of Elizaphan; Shimri, and Jeiel: and of the sons of Asaph; Zechariah, and Mattaniah:

14 ilmaan Heemaan keessaa, Yehiiʼeelii fi Shimeʼii; ilmaan Yeduutuun keessaa, Shemaaʼiyaa fi Uziiʼeel.

And of the sons of Heman; Jehiel, and Shimei: and of 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 assembled their brethren, and sanctified themselves, and came, according to the commandment of the king, by the words of the LORD, to cleanse the house of the LORD.

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 went into the inner part of the house of the LORD, to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of the LORD into the court of the house of the LORD. And the Levites took it, to carry it out abroad into the brook 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 on the first day of the first month to sanctify, and on the eighth day of the month they came to the porch of the LORD: so they sanctified the house of the LORD in eight days; and on the sixteenth day of the first month they finished.

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.

Then they went in to Hezekiah the king, and said, We have cleansed all the house of the LORD, and the altar of burnt offering, with all its vessels, and the showbread table, 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.”

Moreover all the vessels, which king Ahaz in his reign cast away in his transgression, have we prepared and sanctified, and, behold, they are before the altar of the LORD.

20 Hisqiyaas Mootichi guyyaa itti aanu ganama bariidhaan qondaaltota magaalaa walitti qabee gara mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootti ol baʼe.

Then Hezekiah the king rose early, and assembled the rulers of the city, and went up 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 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. And he commanded the priests the sons of Aaron to offer them on 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.

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

23 Reʼoonni aarsaa cubbuutiif fidamanis fuula mootichaa fi fuula waldaa duratti dhiʼeeffaman; jarris isaan irra harka isaanii kaaʼan.

And they brought forth the male goats for the sin offering before the king and the congregation; 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 killed them, and they made reconciliation with their blood upon the altar, to make an atonement for all Israel: for the king commanded that the burnt offering and the sin offering should be made for 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.

And he set the Levites in the house of the LORD with cymbals, with psalteries, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, and of Gad the king’s seer, and Nathan the prophet: for so was the commandment of the LORD by his prophets.

26 Kanaafuu Lewwonni miʼa faarfannaa kan Daawit, luboonni immoo malakata isaanii qabatanii qophaaʼanii dhaabatan.

And the Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with 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 commanded to offer the burnt offering upon the altar. And when the burnt offering began, the song of the LORD began also with the trumpets, and with the instruments ordained by David king of Israel.

28 Waldaan guutuun gad jedhee sagade; faarfattoonni ni faarfatan; warri malakata afuufanis ni afuufan. Wanni kun hundi hamma aarsaan gubamu dhiʼeeffamee xumuramutti itti fufe.

And all the congregation worshipped, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded: and all this continued until the burnt offering was finished.

29 Yommuu aarsaa dhiʼeessuun xumurametti mootichii fi warri isa wajjin turan hundinuu jilbeenfatanii sagadan.

And when they had finished offering, the king and all that were present with him bowed themselves, and worshipped.

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.

Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praise to the LORD with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshipped.

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.

Then Hezekiah answered and said, Now ye have consecrated yourselves to the LORD, come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into the house of the LORD. And the congregation brought in sacrifices and thank offerings; and as many as were of a free heart burnt offerings.

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.

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

33 Horiin qulqulleeffamee qalmaaf dhiʼeeffame walumaa galatti korommii loonii dhibba jaʼaa fi hoolaa fi reʼee kuma sadii ture.

And the consecrated things were 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.

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

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

36 Hisqiyaasii fi namoonni hundi sababii waan Waaqni saba isaaf godheef ni gammadan; wanni kun dafee taʼeetii.

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