Taariikhdii Labaad 31
1 Haddaba markii waxyaalahaasu wada dhammaadeen ayaa reer binu Israa'iilkii joogay oo dhammu tegey magaalooyinkii dalka Yahuudah, oo waxay burburiyeen tiirarkii, geedihii Asheeraahna way jareen, oo meelihii sarsare iyo meelihii allabarigaba way ka dundumiyeen kulli dalkii reer Yahuudah iyo reer Benyaamiin iyo reer Efrayim iyo xataa kii reer Manasehba, ilaa ay wada baabbi'iyeen dhammaantood. Markaasaa reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu wada noqdeen oo nin kastaaba wuxuu ku laabtay hantidiisii, waxayna galeen magaalooyinkoodii.
After the festival ended, the Israelis who were there went to all the towns in Judah and smashed the stones/pillars [for worshiping idols], and cut down the poles [for worshiping the goddess] Asherah. They destroyed the shrines on the hilltops and the altars [of Baal] throughout the areas where the tribes of Judah and Benjamin lived, and also in the areas of the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh. After destroying all of them, they returned to their own towns.
2 Oo Xisqiyaahna kooxihii wadaaddada iyo kuwii reer Laawiba wuxuu u doortay siday nin walba adeegiddiisu ahayd, oo wadaaddadii iyo kuwii reer Laawiba nin kastaba hawshiisii buu amray inay bixiyaan qurbaanno la gubo iyo qurbaanno nabaadiinada, iyo inay adeegaan, oo ay mahadnaqaan, oo ay Ilaah ku ammaanaan xerada Rabbiga irdaheeda.
Hezekiah divided the priests and [other] descendants of Levi into groups. He appointed some of the groups to offer sacrifices that would be completely burned [on the altar] and offerings to maintain fellowship [with Yahweh]. He appointed some groups to do other work at the temple: some to lead the people in their worship, some to thank Yahweh, and some to sing songs to praise to Yahweh at the gates of the temple.
3 Oo wuxuu kaloo amray qaybtii boqorka maalkiisa kaga bixi lahayd qurbaannada la gubo, kuwaasoo ah qurbaannada la gubi lahaa subaxda iyo fiidka, iyo qurbaannada la gubi lahaa sabtiyada, iyo kuwii la gubi lahaa markay bilaha cusubu dhashaan iyo kuwii iidaha joogtada ah siday ugu qoran tahay sharciga Rabbiga.
The king contributed some of his own funds to buy animals that would be sacrificed in the morning and in the evening of each day, and on the Sabbath days, to celebrate the new moons, and during the other feasts, according to what was written in the laws [that Yahweh gave to Moses].
4 Oo weliba dadkii Yeruusaalem degganaana wuxuu ku amray inay wadaaddada iyo kuwa reer Laawiba siiyaan qaybtoodii, si ay ugu xoogaystaan sharciga Rabbiga.
Hezekiah told the people living in Jerusalem to give to the priests and the other descendants of Levi the portions [of meat] that should be given to them, in order that they could devote all their time to obeying the laws of Yahweh.
5 Oo haddiiba mar alla markii amarkii soo baxay ayaa dadkii Israa'iil bixiyeen wax faro badan oo ah midhihii dhulka ugu horreeyey, oo ah hadhuudh, iyo khamri, iyo saliid, iyo malab, iyo wixii dhulka ka baxay oo dhan, oo wax kasta toban meelood meel ayay si badan u keeneen.
As soon as he told that to the people, they generously gave the first part of their harvest of grain, and the first part of the new wine [that they produced], and [olive] oil and honey, and of the crops that grew in their fields. They brought [to the temple] a tenth of all their crops.
6 Oo dadkii Israa'iil iyo dadkii Yahuudah oo degganaa magaalooyinkii dalka Yahuudah, iyaguna waxay toban meelood meel ka keeneen lo'da iyo idaha, iyo weliba alaabtii la soocay oo quduuska looga dhigay Rabbiga Ilaahooda ah, wayna iskor tuuleen.
The men of Israel and Judah who were living in various towns in Judah also brought a tenth of their cattle and sheep and goats, and a tenth of other things that they had dedicated to Yahweh their God, and they piled all those things in heaps.
7 Oo tuulmooyinka aasaaskoodii waxay bilaabeen bishii saddexaad, waxayna iyaga dhammeeyeen bishii toddobaad.
They started to do that in May and finished doing it in September.
8 Oo Xisqiyaah iyo amiirradiiba markay yimaadeen oo arkeen tuulmooyinkii, ayay Rabbiga ku mahadnaqeen, dadkiisii reer binu Israa'iilna way u duceeyeen.
When Hezekiah and his officials saw the heaps, they praised Yahweh and [requested God to] bless the people.
9 Markaasaa Xisqiyaah wadaaddadii iyo kuwii reer Laawi wax ka weyddiiyey tuulmooyinkii.
But Hezekiah asked the priests and other descendants of Levi, “Why are these heaps of things here?”
10 Oo Casaryaah oo ahaa wadaadkii sare oo ahaa reer Saadooq ayaa u jawaabay oo ku yidhi, Tan iyo markii dadku bilaabay inay qurbaannadii keenaan guriga Rabbiga, waannu cunnay oo dheregnay, oo waxaa naga hadhay wax faro badan, waayo, Rabbigu dadkiisuu barakeeyey, oo wixii hadhayna waa waxan badan.
Then Azariah the [Supreme] Priest, a descendant of Zadok, replied, “Since the time that the people started to bring their offerings to the temple, we have had even more food than we need. This has happened because Yahweh has greatly blessed our fellow Israelis, with the result that all this is left over [after we priests and other descendants of Levi took all that we need]!”
11 Markaasaa Xisqiyaah amray in guriga Rabbiga qolal laga diyaariyo, waana la diyaariyey.
Then Hezekiah ordered that they should prepare storerooms in the temple. So they did that.
12 Oo si aaminnimo ah ayaa loo soo keenay qurbaannadii, iyo meeltobnaadyadii, iyo alaabtii quduuska laga dhigay, oo waxaa iyaga u talin jiray Kaananyaah oo ahaa reer Laawi, oo walaalkiis Shimciina wuxuu ahaa kan labaad.
Then they brought into the storerooms all the tithes and offerings and the things dedicated to Yahweh [which the people had brought]. One of the descendants of Levi whose name was Conaniah was in charge of those things, and his [younger] brother Shimei was his assistant.
13 Oo Yexii'eel, iyo Casasyaah, iyo Nahad, iyo Casaaheel, iyo Yeriimood, iyo Yoosaabaad, iyo Elii'eel, iyo Yismakyaah, iyo Maxad, iyo Benaayaahna waxay ahaayeen kuwii wax u talin jiray oo ka hooseeyey Kaananyaah iyo walaalkiis Shimcii, oo waxaa doortay Boqor Xisqiyaah iyo Casaryaah oo ahaa taliyihii guriga Ilaah.
Those two men supervised Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismakiah, Mahath and Benaiah while they did the work. They were appointed by King Hezekiah; Azariah was in charge of [everything that was done in] the temple.
14 Oo Qore ina Yimnaah oo ahaa reer Laawi, oo ahaa iridjoogihii joogay iridda bari, isna wuxuu u talin jiray qurbaannada ikhtiyaarka loogu bixiyo Ilaah inuu qaybiyo qurbaannada Rabbiga iyo waxyaalaha ugu wada quduusan.
Kore the son of Imnah, another descendant of Levi, who guarded the east gate of the temple, was in charge of the offerings to God that were made voluntarily. He distributed to the priests and [other] descendants of Levi the offerings and other things that were dedicated to Yahweh.
15 Oo isagana waxaa ka hooseeyey Ceeden, iyo Minyaamin, iyo Yeeshuuca, iyo Shemacyaah, iyo Amaryaah, iyo Shekaanyaah, oo joogay magaalooyinkii wadaaddada iyagoo kala haysta jagooyinkoodii lagu aaminay, inay walaalahood qayb u kala siiyaan siday kooxahoodu ahaayeen, kan ugu weyn iyo kan ugu yaru ayan waxba isdheeraysan,
Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah and Shecaniah faithfully assisted him in the towns where the priests lived. They distributed those things to the groups of their fellow priests; they distributed them to everyone, from the youngest to the oldest.
16 oo weliba waxaa qayb la siiyey kuwii lagu tiriyey abtiriskii laboodka, intii saddex sannadood jirtay ama ka sii weynaydba, iyo xataa mid kasta oo guriga Rabbiga sidii maalin kasta hawsheeda loo doonayay u geli jiray adeegidda loo amray iyaga sidii kooxahoodii ay kala ahaayeen,
They also distributed things to the males who were at least 30 years old, those whose names were written on the scrolls where lists of family names were written. They were males who [were allowed to] enter the temple to perform their tasks/work each day, the tasks that each group had been assigned to do.
17 oo waxaa qayb la siiyey kuwii abtiriskooda lagu tiriyey reerihii wadaaddada ahaa, iyo kuwii reer Laawi oo jiray labaatan sannadood ama ka sii weynaa sidii shuqulkooda loo amray iyo kooxahoodii ay kala ahaayeen,
The names of the priests were on the scrolls where their clans’ names were written. They also distributed things to groups of [other] descendants of Levi, those who were at least 20 years old.
18 iyo weliba kuwii abtiriskooda lagu tiriyey oo ahaa dhallaankoodii yaryaraa, iyo naagahoodii, iyo wiilashoodii, iyo gabdhahoodiiba oo shirka oo dhan ku dhex jiray, waayo, iyagu jagadoodii lagu aaminay ayay quduus iskaga dhigeen.
They included all their little children and wives and other sons and daughters whose names were on the scrolls where their clans’ names were written, because they also faithfully had dedicated themselves to Yahweh.
19 Oo weliba wadaaddadii ahaa farcanka Haaruun oo joogay beeraha magaalooyinkooda agagaarkoodii, magaalo kasta waxaa ugu jiray niman loo magacaabay inay qayb siiyaan wadaaddada inta lab ku jira oo dhan iyo kuwii reer Laawi oo abtiriskooda lagu tiriyey oo dhan.
[Hezekiah] also appointed other men to distribute portions of those offerings to the priests and other descendants of Levi who were living in the pasturelands around the towns in Judah. But they gave things only to those who were descendants of Aaron [the first Supreme Priest], whose names were on the scrolls containing the names of their clans.
20 Oo Xisqiyaah sidaasuu ku dhex yeelay dalkii Yahuudah oo dhan, oo wuxuu sameeyey wax wanaagsan oo ku qumman, daacadna ku ah Rabbiga Ilaahiisa ah hortiisa.
That is what Hezekiah did throughout Judah. He always faithfully did things that Yahweh his God considered to be right and good.
21 Oo shuqul kasta oo uu ku bilaabay hawshii gurigii Rabbiga, iyo sharciga, iyo amarrada, si uu u doondoono Ilaahiisa, wuxuu ku samayn jiray qalbigiisa oo dhan, wuuna ku liibaani jiray.
In everything that he did for the worship in the temple, and as he obeyed God’s laws and commands, he tried to find out what his God wanted, and he worked energetically. So he was successful.
