2 Chronicles 29

1 Hezekiah began to reigne, when he was fiue and twentie yeere olde, and reigned nine and twentie yeres in Ierusalem: and his mothers name was Abiiah the daughter of Zechariah.

Naʻe uofulu taʻu mo e taʻu ʻe nima ʻae motuʻa ʻo Hesekaia ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe uofulu ma hiva ʻi Selūsalema. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko ʻApisa ko e ʻofefine ʻo Sakalia.

2 And hee did vprightly in the sight of the Lord, according to all that Dauid his father had done.

Pea naʻe fai lelei ʻe ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fai ʻe Tevita ko ʻene tamai.

3 He opened the doores of the house of the Lord in the first yeere, and in the first moneth of his reigne, and repared them.

ʻI he ʻuluaki taʻu ʻo ʻene pule, ʻi he ʻuluaki māhina, naʻa ne toʻo ʻae ngaahi matapā ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova, ʻo ne ngaohi ia ke lelei.

4 And he brought in the Priests and the Leuites, and gathered them into the East streete,

Pea ne ʻomi ʻae kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livai, ʻo ne tānaki ʻakinautolu ke fakataha ki he hala fakahahake.

5 And said vnto them, Heare me, ye Leuites: sanctifie nowe your selues, and sanctifie the house of the Lord God of your fathers, and cary forth the filthinesse out of the Sanctuarie.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, ʻae kau Livai, “Ke mou tokanga kiate au, ko eni mou fakamaʻa ʻakimoutolu, pea fakamaʻa ʻae fale ʻo Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, pea mou fetuku atu ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻuli mei he potu māʻoniʻoni.

6 For our fathers haue trespassed, and done euill in the eyes of the Lord our God, and haue forsaken him, and turned away their faces from the Tabernacle of the Lord, and turned their backes.

He naʻe fai hala ʻetau ngaahi tamai, pea fai ʻaia naʻe kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua, pea naʻa nau liʻaki ia, pea naʻe tafoki honau mata mei he fale nofoʻanga ʻo Sihova, pea fulituʻa ki ai.

7 They haue also shut the doores of ye porch, and quenched the lampes, and haue neither burnt incense, nor offred burnt offrings in the Sanctuarie vnto the God of Israel.

Pea kuo nau tāpuni ʻae ngaahi matapā ʻoe hūʻanga fale fakamalumalu, pea tāmateʻi ʻae ngaahi maama, pea naʻe ʻikai tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala pe ʻatu ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu ʻi he potu māʻoniʻoni ki he ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.

8 Wherfore the wrath of the Lord hath bin on Iudah and Ierusalem: and he hath made them a scattering, a desolation, and an hissing, as ye see with your eyes.

Ko ia naʻe tō ai ʻae houhau ʻa Sihova ki Siuta mo Selūsalema, pea naʻa ne tukuange ʻakinautolu ki he mamahi, mo e fakaofoofo, mo e fakaʻiseʻisa, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku mou mamata ai ʻaki homou mata.

9 For lo, our fathers are fallen by the sword, and our sonnes, and our daughters, and our wiues are in captiuitie for the same cause.

Vakai, he kuo tō ʻetau ngaahi tamai ʻi he heletā, pea ʻoku nofo pōpula ʻi he meʻa ni hotau ngaahi foha mo hotau ngaahi ʻofefine mo hotau ngaahi uaifi.

10 Now I purpose to make a couenant with the Lord God of Israel, that he may turne away his fierce wrath from vs.

Pea ko eni, ʻoku ʻi hoku loto ia ke fai ʻae fuakava kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ke tafoki hono houhau lahi meiate kitautolu.

11 Now my sonnes, be not deceiued: for the Lord hath chosen you to stand before him, to serue him, and to be his ministers, and to burne incense.

‌ʻE hoku ngaahi foha, ʻoua eni naʻa mou taʻetokanga: he kuo fili ʻakimoutolu ʻe Sihova ke tuʻu ʻi hono ʻao, ke tauhi ia, pea ke mou ngāue kiate ia, pea tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala.”

12 Then the Leuites arose, Mahath ye sonne of Amashai, and Ioel the sonne of Azariah of the sonnes of the Kohathites: and of the sonnes of Merari, Kish the sonne of Abdi, and Azariah the sonne of Iehalelel: and of the Gershonites, Ioah the sonne of Zimmah, and Eden the sonne of Ioah:

Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ai ʻae kau Livai, ko Mehati ko e foha ʻo ʻAmasai, mo Soeli ko e foha ʻo ʻAsalia, ʻi he ngaahi foha ʻoe kau Kohate: pea ʻi he ngaahi foha ʻo Melali, ko Kisi ko e foha ʻo ʻApiti, mo ʻAsalia ko e foha ʻo Sehalili: pea ʻi he kakai Kesoni: ko Soa ko e foha ʻo Sima, mo Iteni ko e foha ʻo Soe:

13 And of the sonnes of Elizaphan, Shimri, and Iehiel: and of the sonnes of Asaph, Zechariah, and Mattaniah:

Pea ʻi he ngaahi foha ʻo ʻIlisafani: ko Simili, mo Sieli: pea ʻi he ngaahi foha ʻo ʻAsafi: ko Sakalia, mo Matania:

14 And of the sonnes of Heman, Iehiel, and Shimei: and of the sonnes of Ieduthun, Shemaiah and Vzziel.

Pea ʻi he ngaahi foha ʻo Hemani: ko Sehieli, mo Simi: pea ʻi he ngaahi foha ʻo Situtuni: ko Simaia, mo ʻUsili.

15 And they gathered their brethren, and sanctified themselues and came according to the commandement of the King, and by the words of the Lord, for to clense the house of the Lord.

Pea naʻa nau fakakātoa honau ngaahi kāinga, pea fakamaʻa ʻakinautolu, pea haʻu, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻae tuʻi, ʻi he folofola ʻa Sihova, ke fakamaʻa ʻae fale ʻo Sihova.

16 And the Priests went into the inner partes of the house of the Lord, to clense it, and brought out all the vncleannesse that they founde in the Temple of the Lord, into the court of the house of the Lord: and the Leuites tooke it, to cary it out vnto the brooke Kidron.

Pea naʻe hū ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ki he potu ʻi loto ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, ke fakamaʻa ia, ʻonau fetuku mei ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻuli kotoa pē naʻa nau ʻilo ʻi he faletapu ʻo Sihova ki he lotoʻā ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova. Pea naʻe ʻave ia ʻe he kau Livai, ʻo fetuku ia ki he mamaʻo ki he vaitafe ko Kitiloni.

17 They began the first day of the first moneth to sanctifie it, and the eight day of the moneth came they to the porche of the Lord: so they sanctified the house of the Lord in eight dayes, and in the sixeteenth day of the first moneth they made an ende.

Pea naʻa nau kamata ʻi he ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻoe ʻuluaki māhina ke fakamaʻa, pea ʻi hono valu ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina naʻa nau hoko ki he hūʻanga fale fakamalumalu ʻo Sihova: ko ia naʻa nau fakamaʻa ʻae fale ʻo Sihova ʻi he ʻaho ʻe valu: pea ʻi hono ʻaho ʻe hongofulu ma ono ʻi he ʻuluaki māhina naʻa nau fakaʻosi.

18 Then they went in to Hezekiah ye King, and sayde, We haue clensed all the house of the Lord and the altar of burnt offring, with all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread table, with all the vessels thereof:

Pea naʻa nau ʻalu ai kia Hesekaia ko e tuʻi, ʻo pehē, “Kuo mau fakamaʻa ʻae potu kotoa pē ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova, mo e feilaulauʻanga ʻoe meʻa tutu mo hono ngaahi ipu kotoa pē ʻo ia, mo e palepale ʻoe mā ʻoe ʻao, mo hono ngaahi ipu kotoa pē ʻo ia.

19 And all the vessels which King Ahaz had cast aside when he reigned, and transgressed, haue we prepared and sanctified: and beholde, they are before the altar of the Lord.

Pea koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi ipu kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻe liʻaki ʻe he tuʻi ko ʻEhapi ʻi heʻene pule, ʻi heʻene angahala, kuo ʻosi ʻemau teuʻi mo fakatapui, pea vakai, ʻoku nau ʻi he muʻa feilaulauʻanga ʻo Sihova.”

20 And Hezekiah the King rose early, and gathered the princes of the citie, and went vp to the house of the Lord.

Pea naʻe tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻa Hesekaia ko e tuʻi, ʻo ne tānaki ke fakataha ʻae kau pule ʻoe kolo, pea ʻalu ia ki he fale ʻo Sihova.

21 And they brought seuen bullockes, and seuen rammes, and seuen lambes, and seuen hee goates, for a sinne offring for the kingdome, and for the sanctuarie, and for Iudah. And he commanded the Priests the sonnes of Aaron, to offer them on the altar of the Lord.

Pea naʻa nau ʻomi ʻae fanga pulu ʻe fitu, mo e sipitangata ʻe fitu, mo e lami ʻe fitu, mo e kosi tangata ʻe fitu, ko e feilaulau ʻi he angahala ʻae puleʻanga, pea maʻae fale nofoʻanga, pea mo Siuta. Pea naʻe fekau ia ki he kau taulaʻeiki ko e ngaahi foha ʻo ʻElone ke ʻatu ia ʻi he funga feilaulauʻanga ʻo Sihova.

22 So they slewe the bullockes, and the Priests receiued the blood, and sprinkled it vpon the altar: they slew also the rammes and sprinkled the blood vpon the altar, and they slew the lambes, and they sprinkled the blood vpon the altar.

Ko ia naʻa nau tāmateʻi ʻae fanga pulu, pea naʻe fakatali ʻae toto ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki, pea nau luluku ʻaki ʻae feilaulauʻanga: pea pehē pe, hili ʻenau tāmateʻi ʻae fanga sipitangata, naʻa nau luluku ʻaki ʻae toto ʻae feilaulauʻanga: pea naʻa nau tāmateʻi ʻae fanga lami foki, pea nau luluku ʻae toto ki he feilaulauʻanga.

23 Then they brought the hee goates for the sinne offring before the King and the Congregation, and they layde their hands vpon them.

Pea naʻa nau ʻomi kituʻa ʻae fanga kosi tangata ko e feilaulau maʻae angahala ki he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi mo e fakataha; pea naʻa nau hilifaki honau nima ki ai.

24 And the Priests slewe them, and with the blood of them they clensed the altar to reconcile all Israel: for the King had commanded for all Israel the burnt offring and the sinne offring.

Pea naʻe tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki, pea fai ʻae fakalelei ʻaki ʻa honau toto ʻi he funga ʻoe feilaulauʻanga, ke fai ai ʻae fakalelei koeʻuhi ko ʻIsileli kotoa pē: he naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi ke fai ʻae feilaulau tutu mo e feilaulau maʻae angahala maʻa ʻIsileli kotoa pē.

25 He appointed also the Leuites in the house of the Lord with cymbales, with violes, and with harpes, according to the commandement of Dauid, and Gad the Kings Seer, and Nathan the Prophet: for the commandement was by the hande of the Lord, and by the hande of his Prophets.

Pea naʻa ne fokotuʻu ʻae kau Livai he fale ʻo Sihova mo e ngaahi meʻa pakihi, mo e ngaahi ūtete, mo e ngaahi haʻape, ʻo fakatatau ki he fekau ʻa Tevita, pea mo Kata ko e tangata kikite ʻae tuʻi, mo Netane ko e palōfita: he naʻe pehē pe ʻae fekau ʻa Sihova ʻi heʻene kau palōfita.

26 And the Leuites stood with the instruments of Dauid, and the Priests with the trumpets.

Pea naʻe tuʻu ʻae kau Livai mo e ngaahi meʻa faiva ʻa Tevita, mo e kau taulaʻeiki mo e ngaahi meʻalea.

27 And Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt offring vpon the altar: and when the burnt offring began, the song of the Lord beganne with the trumpets, and the instruments of Dauid King of Israel.

Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Hesekaia ke fai ʻae feilaulau tutu ʻi he funga ʻoe feilaulauʻanga. Pea ʻi he kamata ʻatu ʻae feilaulau tutu, naʻe kamata foki ʻae hiva kia Sihova ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻalea, pea ʻi he ngaahi meʻa faiva naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ʻe Tevita ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.

28 And al the Congregation worshipped, singing a song, and they blew the trumpets: all this continued vntill the burnt offring was finished.

Pea naʻe hū ʻae fakataha kotoa pē, pea hiva ʻae kau hiva, pea fakaongo ʻe he kau ifi meʻalea: pea naʻe fai ai pe ʻae meʻa ni kotoa pē ke ʻoua ke ʻosi ʻae feilaulau tutu.

29 And when they had made an ende of offring, the King and all that were present with him, bowed themselues, and worshipped.

Pea hili ʻenau fakaʻosi ʻae feilaulau, naʻe punou ʻae tuʻi mo kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe ʻiate ia, ʻonau hū.

30 Then Hezekiah the King and the princes commanded the Leuites to prayse the Lord with the wordes of Dauid, and of Asaph the Seer. so they praysed with ioy, and they bowed themselues, and worshipped.

Pea naʻe fekau foki ʻe Hesekaia ko e tuʻi mo e houʻeiki ki he kau Livai ke hiva mo fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea ʻa Tevita, pea mo ʻAsafi ko e tangata kikite. Pea naʻa nau hiva ʻaki ʻae ngaahi fakafetaʻi ʻi he fiefia, ʻonau punou hifo honau ʻulu ʻo hū.

31 And Hezekiah spake, and sayde, Now ye haue consecrate your selues to the Lord: come neere and bring the sacrifices and offerings of prayse into the house of the Lord. And the Congregation brought sacrifices; and offrings of prayses, and euery man that was willing in heart, offred burnt offrings.

Pea naʻe tali ʻe Hesekaia ʻo ne pehē, “Ko eni kuo mou fakatapui ʻakimoutolu kia Sihova, mou haʻu ke ofi, pea ʻomi ʻae ngaahi feilaulau mo e feilaulau fakafetaʻi ki he fale ʻo Sihova.” Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe he fakataha ʻae ngaahi feilaulau mo e ngaahi feilaulau fakafetaʻi: pea ʻomi ʻekinautolu naʻe loto ʻataʻatāina ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu.

32 And the nomber of the burnt offrings, which the Congregation brought, was seuentie bullockes, an hundreth rammes, and two hundreth lambes: all these were for a burnt offring to the Lord:

Pea ko hono lau ʻoe ngaahi feilaulau tutu, ʻaia naʻe ʻomi ʻe he fakataha lahi, ko e fanga pulu ʻe fitungofulu, ko e sipitangata ʻe teau, mo e lami ʻe uangeau: ko eni kotoa pē ko e feilaulau tutu kia Sihova.

33 And for sanctification sixe hundreth bullockes, and three thousand sheepe.

Pea ko e meʻa naʻe fakatapui ko e fanga pulu ʻe onongeau mo e sipi ʻe tolu afe,

34 But the Priests were too few, and were not able to flay all the burnt offrings: therefore their brethren the Leuites did helpe them, til they had ended the worke, and vntill other Priests were sanctified: for the Leuites were more vpright in heart to sanctifie themselues, then the Priests.

Pea naʻe tokosiʻi ʻae kau taulaʻeiki, ko ia naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa fai ke fohi ʻae feilaulau tutu kotoa pē: ko ia naʻe tokoni ai ʻakinautolu ʻe honau kāinga ko e kau Livai, ke ʻoua ke ʻosi ʻae ngāue, pea ke ʻoua ke fakamaʻa ʻa hono toe ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki: he naʻe angatonu lahi hake ʻi loto ʻae kau Livai ke fakamaʻa ʻakinautolu ʻi he kau taulaʻeiki.

35 And also the burnt offerings were many with the fat of the peace offrings and the drinke offrings for the burnt offring. so the seruice of the house of the Lord was set in order.

Pea naʻe lahi ʻaupito foki ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu, mo e ngako ʻoe ngaahi feilaulau fakalelei, mo e feilaulau inu ʻi he feilaulau tutu kotoa pē. Ko ia naʻe teuteu lelei ʻae ngāue ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova.

36 Then Hezekiah reioyced and all the people, that God had made the people so ready: for the thing was done suddenly.

Pea naʻe fiefia ʻa Hesekaia, mo e kakai kotoa pē, ko e meʻa ʻi he teuteuʻi ʻe he ʻOtua hono kakai: he naʻe fai fakafokifā pe ʻae meʻa ni.
