< 2 Meʻa Hokohoko 31 >
1 Pea ʻi he fakaʻosi ʻae meʻa ni kotoa pē, naʻe ʻalu ʻa ʻIsileli kotoa pē naʻe ʻi ai, ki he ngaahi kolo kotoa pē ʻo Siuta, ʻo laiki ʻae ngaahi meʻa tamapua ke fakaikiiki, pea naʻe tā ʻae ngaahi vao tapu, pea holoki hifo ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga mo e ngaahi feilaulauʻanga mei Siuta kotoa pē mo Penisimani, ʻi ʻIfalemi foki mo Manase, ke fakaʻauha kotoa pē. Pea naʻe toki ʻalu ʻae fānau kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo taki taha ʻae tangata ki hono tofiʻa, ʻi heʻenau ngaahi kolo ʻonautolu.
Now when all this was finished, all Israel that were present went out to the cities of Judah, and brake the images in pieces, and cut down the groves, and threw down the high places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim also and Manasseh, until they had utterly destroyed them all. Then all the children of Israel returned, every man to his possession, into their own cities.
2 Pea naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ʻe Hesekaia ʻae ngaahi lakanga ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livai ʻo fakatatau mo honau lakanga, ʻae tangata taki taha ʻo fakatatau mo ʻene ngāue, ko e kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livai ki he ngaahi feilaulau tutu, pea mo e ngaahi feilaulau fakamelino, ke ngāue, pea ke nau fakafetaʻi, pea ke fakamālō ʻi he ngaahi matapā ʻoe ngaahi fale nofoʻanga ʻo Sihova.
And Hezekiah appointed the courses of the priests and the Levites after their courses, every man according to his service, the priests and Levites for burnt offerings and for peace offerings, to minister, and to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the tents of YHWH.
3 Pea naʻa ne vaheʻi ʻae meʻa ʻae tuʻi ki he feilaulau tutu, ki he feilaulau tutu ʻi he pongipongi mo e efiafi, mo e ngaahi feilaulau tutu ki he ngaahi ʻaho tapu, pea ki he ngaahi tuʻu efiafi, pea ki he ngaahi kātoanga fai maʻu, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi ʻi he fono ʻa Sihova.
He appointed also the king's portion of his substance for the burnt offerings, to wit, for the morning and evening burnt offerings, and the burnt offerings for the Sabbaths, and for the new moons, and for the set feasts, as it is written in the law of YHWH.
4 Pea naʻa ne fekau foki ki he kakai naʻe nofo ʻi Selūsalema ke ʻatu ʻae vāhenga ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livai, koeʻuhi ke fakafiemālieʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he fono ʻa Sihova.
Moreover he commanded the people that dwelt in Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might be encouraged in the law of YHWH.
5 Pea ʻi he ongo kituʻa ʻae fekau, naʻe ʻomi leva ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻae ʻuluaki fua lahi ʻaupito ʻoe uite, mo e uaine, mo e lolo, mo e honi, pea mei he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku tupu ʻi he ngoue: pea mo e vāhenga ʻoe meʻa kotoa pē naʻa nau ʻomi ʻo lahi ʻaupito.
And as soon as the commandment came abroad, the children of Israel brought in abundance the firstfruits of corn, wine, and oil, and honey, and of all the increase of the fields; and the tithe of all things brought they in abundantly.
6 Pea ko e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mo Siuta, naʻe nofo ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta, naʻa nau ʻomi foki ʻae vāhenga ʻoe fanga pulu mo e fanga sipi, pea mo e vāhenga ʻoe meʻa tapu naʻe fakatapui kia Sihova ko honau ʻOtua, pea naʻe fokotuʻu ia ʻi he fokotuʻunga.
And concerning the children of Israel and Judah, that dwelt in the cities of Judah, they also brought in the tithe of oxen and sheep, and the tithe of holy things which were consecrated unto YHWH their Elohim, and laid them by heaps.
7 ʻI hono tolu ʻoe māhina naʻa nau kamata ai hono ngaahi tuʻunga ʻoe ngaahi fokotuʻunga, pea naʻe fakaʻosi ia ʻi hono fitu ʻoe māhina.
In the third month they began to lay the foundation of the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month.
8 Pea ʻi he haʻu ʻa Hesekaia mo e houʻeiki ʻo mamata ki he ngaahi fokotuʻunga, naʻa nau fakafetaʻi kia Sihova mo hono kakai ʻIsileli.
And when Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed YHWH, and his people Israel.
9 Pea naʻe fehuʻi ʻe Hesekaia ki he kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livai ki he ngaahi fokotuʻunga meʻa.
Then Hezekiah questioned with the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps.
10 Pea naʻe talia ia ʻe ʻAsalia ko e taulaʻeiki lahi ʻi he fale ʻo Satoki, ʻo ne pehē, “Talu mei he ʻaho naʻe kamata ʻomi ʻe he kakai ʻae ngaahi meʻa foaki ki he fale ʻo Sihova, ʻoku mau maʻu ʻae meʻa lahi ke kai, pea ʻoku toe lahi: he kuo tāpuaki ʻe Sihova ʻa hono kakai: pea ko ia ʻoku toe ko e fuʻu meʻa lahi ni.”
And Azariah the chief priest of the house of Zadok answered him, and said, Since the people began to bring the offerings into the house of YHWH, we have had enough to eat, and have left plenty: for YHWH hath blessed his people; and that which is left is this great store.
11 Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Hesekaia ke teuteu ʻae ngaahi potu fale ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova: pea naʻa nau teuteu ia,
Then Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the house of YHWH; and they prepared them,
12 ʻO nau ʻomi totonu ki ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa foaki mo e ngaahi vāhenga meʻa ʻoe ngaahi meʻa naʻe fakatapui: pea naʻe pule ki ai ʻa Kononaia ko e tangata Livai, pea hoko mo ia ʻa Simi ko hono tokoua.
And brought in the offerings and the tithes and the dedicated things faithfully: over which Cononiah the Levite was ruler, and Shimei his brother was the next.
13 Pea ko Sehieli, mo ʻAsasia, mo Nehati, mo ʻAsaeli, mo Selimoti, mo Sosapati, mo Ilieli, mo Isimakia, mo Mehati, mo Penaia, ko e kau enginaki ʻi he pule ʻa Kononaia, mo Simi ko hono tokoua, ʻi he fekau ʻa Hesekaia ko e tuʻi, mo ʻAsalia ko e pule ʻoe fale ʻoe ʻOtua.
And Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath, and Asahel, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Ismachiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah, were overseers under the hand of Cononiah and Shimei his brother, at the commandment of Hezekiah the king, and Azaria the ruler of the house of Elohim.
14 Pea ko Kole ko e foha ʻo Imina ko e tangata Livai, ko e leʻo matapā ki he potu hahake, naʻe pule ia ki he ngaahi meʻa foaki loto ʻofa ki he ʻOtua, ke tufaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa foaki ʻa Sihova, mo e ngaahi meʻa māʻoniʻoni lahi.
And Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the porter toward the east, was over the freewill offerings of Elohim, to distribute the oblations of YHWH, and the most holy things.
15 Pea naʻe hoko mo ia, ʻa Iteni, mo Miniamini, mo Sesua, mo Simaia, mo ʻAmalia, mo Sikania, ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki, ʻi heʻenau ngāue totonu, ke tufa ki honau ngaahi kāinga ʻi honau lakanga, ki he lahi pea mo e siʻi:
And next him were Eden, and Miniamin, and Jeshua, and Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, in their set office, to give to their brethren by courses, as well to the great as to the small:
16 Pea mo ʻenau tohi hohoko ʻoe fānau tangata, mei he tolu taʻu ʻo fai hake, ʻio, ke ʻatu kiate kinautolu taki taha naʻe hū ki he fale ʻo Sihova, honau ʻinasi ki he ʻaho taki taha ʻo fakatatau mo ʻenau ngāue ʻo fakatatau mo honau lakanga:
Beside their genealogy of males, from three years old and upward, even unto every one that entereth into the house of YHWH, his daily portion for their service in their charges according to their courses;
17 Ki he hokohoko ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki ʻi he fale ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, mo e kau Livai mei he uofulu taʻu ʻo fai hake, ʻo fakatatau mo ʻenau ngāue mo honau lakanga:
Both to the genealogy of the priests by the house of their fathers, and the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in their charges by their courses;
18 Pea ki he hokohoko ʻo ʻenau fānau siʻi kotoa pē, ko honau ngaahi uaifi, mo ʻenau ngaahi foha, mo honau ngaahi ʻofefine, ʻi he kakai fakataha kotoa pē: he naʻa nau fakatapui ʻakinautolu ʻi he māʻoniʻoni ʻi heʻenau ngāue totonu:
And to the genealogy of all their little ones, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, through all the congregation: for in their set office they sanctified themselves in holiness:
19 Pea ko e ngaahi foha ʻo ʻElone foki ʻaia ko e kau taulaʻeiki ʻakinautolu, naʻa nau nofo ʻi he ngaahi ngoue ʻi he ngaahi potu ʻituʻa ʻi honau ngaahi kolo, ʻi honau ngaahi kolo kotoa pē, ko e kau tangata naʻe lau honau hingoa, ke ʻatu ʻae ngaahi vāhenga ki he fānau tangata kotoa pē ʻi he kau taulaʻeiki, pea kiate kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe lau ʻi honau hokohoko ʻi he kau Livai.
Also of the sons of Aaron the priests, which were in the fields of the suburbs of their cities, in every several city, the men that were expressed by name, to give portions to all the males among the priests, and to all that were reckoned by genealogies among the Levites.
20 Pea naʻe fai pehē pe ʻe Hesekaia ʻi Siuta kotoa pē, ʻo ne fai ʻaia naʻe lelei mo angatonu mo moʻoni ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko hono ʻOtua.
And thus did Hezekiah throughout all Judah, and wrought that which was good and right and truth before YHWH his Elohim.
21 Pea ko e ngāue kotoa pē naʻa ne hoko ʻo fai ʻi he ngāue ʻoe fale ʻoe ʻOtua, pea ʻi he fono, pea ʻi he ngaahi fekau, ke kumi ki hono ʻOtua, naʻa ne fai ia ʻaki hono loto kotoa, pea naʻa ne monūʻia ai.
And in every work that he began in the service of the house of Elohim, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his Elohim, he did it with all his heart, and prospered.
