2 Meʻa Hokohoko 31
1Now when all this was finished, all Israel who were present went out to the cities of Judah and broke in pieces the pillars and cut down the Asherim and broke down the high places and the altars throughout all Judah and Benjamin, and in Ephraim and Manasseh, until they had destroyed them all. Then all the people of Israel returned to their cities, every man to his possession.
1PEA 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.
2And Hezekiah appointed the divisions of the priests and of the Levites, division by division, each according to his service, the priests and the Levites, for burnt offerings and peace offerings, to minister in the gates of the camp of the LORD and to give thanks and praise.
2Pea 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.
3The contribution of the king from his own possessions was for the burnt offerings: the burnt offerings of morning and evening, and the burnt offerings for the Sabbaths, the new moons, and the appointed feasts, as it is written in the Law of the LORD.
3Pea 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.
4And he commanded the people who lived in Jerusalem to give the portion due to the priests and the Levites, that they might give themselves to the Law of the LORD.
4Pea 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.
5As soon as the command was spread abroad, the people of Israel gave in abundance the firstfruits of grain, wine, oil, honey, and of all the produce of the field. And they brought in abundantly the tithe of everything.
5Pea 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.
6And the people of Israel and Judah who lived in the cities of Judah also brought in the tithe of cattle and sheep, and the tithe of the dedicated things that had been dedicated to the LORD their God, and laid them in heaps.
6Pea 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.
7In the third month they began to pile up the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month.
7ʻI hono tolu ʻoe māhina naʻa nau kamata ai hono ngaahi tuʻunga ʻoe ngaahi fokotuʻunga, pea naʻe fakaʻosi ia ʻi hono fitu ʻoe māhina.
8When Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed the LORD and his people Israel.
8Pea ʻi he haʻu ʻa Hesekaia mo e houʻeiki ʻo mamata ki he ngaahi fokotuʻunga, naʻa nau fakafetaʻi kia Sihova mo hono kakai ʻIsileli.
9And Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites about the heaps.
9Pea naʻe fehuʻi ʻe Hesekaia ki he kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livai ki he ngaahi fokotuʻunga meʻa.
10Azariah the chief priest, who was of the house of Zadok, answered him, “Since they began to bring the contributions into the house of the LORD, we have eaten and had enough and have plenty left, for the LORD has blessed his people, so that we have this large amount left.”
10Pea 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.”
11Then Hezekiah commanded them to prepare chambers in the house of the LORD, and they prepared them.
11Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Hesekaia ke teuteu ʻae ngaahi potu fale ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova: pea naʻa nau teuteu ia,
12And they faithfully brought in the contributions, the tithes, and the dedicated things. The chief officer in charge of them was Conaniah the Levite, with Shimei his brother as second,
12ʻO 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.
13while Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismachiah, Mahath, and Benaiah were overseers assisting Conaniah and Shimei his brother, by the appointment of Hezekiah the king and Azariah the chief officer of the house of God.
13Pea 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.
14And Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, keeper of the east gate, was over the freewill offerings to God, to apportion the contribution reserved for the LORD and the most holy offerings.
14Pea 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.
15Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah were faithfully assisting him in the cities of the priests, to distribute the portions to their brothers, old and young alike, by divisions,
15Pea 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:
16except those enrolled by genealogy, males from three years old and upward—all who entered the house of the LORD as the duty of each day required—for their service according to their offices, by their divisions.
16Pea 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:
17The enrollment of the priests was according to their fathers’ houses; that of the Levites from twenty years old and upward was according to their offices, by their divisions.
17Ki 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:
18They were enrolled with all their little children, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, the whole assembly, for they were faithful in keeping themselves holy.
18Pea ki he hokohoko ʻo ʻenau fānau siʻi kotoa pē, ko honau ngaahi ʻunoho, 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:
19And for the sons of Aaron, the priests, who were in the fields of common land belonging to their cities, there were men in the several cities who were designated by name to distribute portions to every male among the priests and to everyone among the Levites who was enrolled.
19Pea 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.
20Thus Hezekiah did throughout all Judah, and he did what was good and right and faithful before the LORD his God.
20Pea 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.
21And every work that he undertook in the service of the house of God and in accordance with the law and the commandments, seeking his God, he did with all his heart, and prospered.
21Pea 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.
