2 Chronicles 31
1 Now when all this was finished, all Israel who were present went out to the cities of Judah and broke the pillars in pieces, cut down the Asherah poles, and broke down the high places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, also in Ephraim and Manasseh, until they had destroyed them all. Then all the children of Israel returned, every man to his possession, into their own cities.
Hae hmuennawk boeng pacoeng ah, Israel kaminawk loe Judah prae vangpuinawk thungah caeh o moe, Judah prae, Benjamin prae, Ephraim prae hoi Manasseh prae thung ih krangnawk to pakhoih o, Asherah thingnawk to pakhruk o moe, hmuensangnawk hoi hmaicamnawk to phraek o boih; to pacoengah Israel kaminawk loe angmacae ohhaih ahmuen vangpui ah amlaem o.
2 Hezekiah appointed the divisions of the priests and the Levites after their divisions, every man according to his service, both the priests and the Levites, for burnt offerings and for peace offerings, to minister, to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the LORD’s camp.
Hezekiah mah Levi acaeng qaimanawk khaeah, angmacae sak han koi tok to a sak o moe, Angraeng ohhaih kahni im khongkha ah, hmai angbawnhaih sak han ih, angdaeh hmuen paekhaih sak han ih, anih ih tok to sak moe, anghoehaih lok to thuih pacoengah, anih saphawhaih laa to sak hanah tok to a paek.
3 He also appointed the king’s portion of his possessions for the burnt offerings: for the morning and evening burnt offerings, and the burnt offerings for the Sabbaths, for the new moons, and for the set feasts, as it is written in the LORD’s law.
Angraeng lokpaekhaih thungah tarik ih baktih toengah, ni thokkruek, aduem akhawn, Sabbath ni, khrah kangtha, poihsakhaih ni kruekah, hmai angbawnhaih sak hanah, siangpahrang Hezekiah mah angmah pacah ih moinawk to a paek.
4 Moreover he commanded the people who lived in Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might give themselves to the LORD’s law.
Angraeng lokpaekhaih baktih toengah poekhaih palungthin to ang paek o moe, Sithaw ih tok to sak o thai hanah, qaimanawk hanah hmuenmae to paek oh, tiah Jerusalam ah kaom kaminawk khaeah a thuih pae.
5 As soon as the commandment went out, the children of Israel gave in abundance the first fruits of grain, new wine, oil, honey, and of all the increase of the field; and they brought in the tithe of all things abundantly.
Lokthuih pacoeng akra ai ah, Israel kaminawk mah athai tangsuek canghum, misurtui, situi, khoitui hoi lawk ih thingthai qumponawk to paroeai paek o; kapop parai hato thungah maeto doeh a sinh o.
6 The children of Israel and Judah, who lived in the cities of Judah, also brought in the tithe of cattle and sheep, and the tithe of dedicated things which were consecrated to the LORD their God, and laid them in heaps.
Judah vangpui thungah kaom, Israel hoi Judah kaminawk loe maitaw tae hoi tuunawk to hato thungah maeto a sinh o; kaciim hmuennawk doeh angmacae ih Angraeng Sithaw hmaa ah a sinh o moe, pakhueng o.
7 In the third month, they began to lay the foundation of the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month.
Khrah thumto naah hmuen pakhuenghaih amtong o moe, khrah sarihto naah pacoeng o.
8 When Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed the LORD and his people Israel.
Hezekiah hoi angraengnawk to angzoh o moe, to ah pakhueng ih hmuennawk to hnuk o naah, Angraeng hoi angmah ih kami Israelnawk to tahamhoihaih paek o.
9 Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites about the heaps.
To ah pakhueng ih hmuen kawng pongah, Hezekiah mah qaima hoi Levi acaengnawk to lokdueng.
10 Azariah the chief priest, of the house of Zadok, answered him and said, “Since people began to bring the offerings into the LORD’s house, we have eaten and had enough, and have plenty left over, for the LORD has blessed his people; and that which is left is this great store.”
To naah Zadok imthung takoh thung ih kacoeh koek qaima Azariah mah anih khaeah, Kaminawk mah Angraeng ih imthung ah paek ih hmuen to sin o pongah, caaknaek kakhawt ah ka tawnh o khue na ai ah, amtlai pok vop; Angraeng mah angmah ih kaminawk hanah tahamhoihaih paek pongah, hae hmuennawk loe amtlai pok, tiah a naa.
11 Then Hezekiah commanded them to prepare rooms in the LORD’s house, and they prepared them.
To pacoengah Hezekiah mah Angraeng imthung ah hmuen patunghaih imkhaan sak hanah lokpaek, a thuih ih lok baktih toengah a sak o.
12 They brought in the offerings, the tithes, and the dedicated things faithfully. Conaniah the Levite was ruler over them, and Shimei his brother was second.
Oep om ah paek o ih hato thungah maeto hoi tangqum paek ih hmuennawk to Angraeng imthung ah a sinh o; to hmuennawk loe Levi acaeng Konaniah mah khetzawn, amnawk Shimei loe anih bomkung ah oh.
13 Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismachiah, Mahath, and Benaiah were overseers under the hand of Conaniah and Shimei his brother, by the appointment of Hezekiah the king and Azariah the ruler of God’s house.
Hezekiah siangpahrang hoi Sithaw im ukkung Azariah mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismakiah, Mahath hoi Benaiah cae loe Konaniah hoi amnawk Shimei tlim ah nawnto toksak o.
14 Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the gatekeeper at the east gate, was over the free will offerings of God, to distribute the LORD’s offerings and the most holy things.
Ni angyae bang ih khongkha toepkung, Levi acaeng Imnah capa Kore loe, koehhaih palungthin hoi Sithaw khaeah paek ih hmuen, Angraeng khaeah tathlang ih hmuennawk hoi ciimcai koek hmuennawk pazetkung ah oh.
15 Under him were Eden, Miniamin, Yeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, in their office of trust, to give to their brothers by divisions, to the great as well as to the small;
Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah hoi Shekaniah cae loe Kore bomkung ah oh o moe, kalah Judah prae vangpuinawk ah kaom qaimanawk khenzawnkung ah oh o; nihcae loe angmacae nawkamya mitong doeh nawkta doeh, angmacae sak han koi hmuemae pazethaih tok to a sak o.
16 in addition to those who were listed by genealogy of males, from three years old and upward, even everyone who entered into the LORD’s house, as the duty of every day required, for their service in their offices according to their divisions;
To pacoengah angmacae mah toksak han tapraek ih araengh baktih toengah, angmacae ih tok to sak hanah Angraeng ih im thungah akun kami boih, ahmin tarikhaih cabu thung ih baktih toengah, saning thumto hoi ranuih bang kaom nongpanawk boih han doeh paek o.
17 and those who were listed by genealogy of the priests by their fathers’ houses, and the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in their offices by their divisions;
Angmacae mah toksak han pakhoih ih taham baktih toengah, ampa qaimanawk mah ahmin paruihaih cabu thungah tarik ih, saning pumphaeto ranuih Levi acaengnawk boih doeh paek o.
18 and those who were listed by genealogy of all their little ones, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, through all the congregation; for in their office of trust they sanctified themselves in holiness.
Angmacae hoi angmacae ciimcai ah oh o moe, oepthok kami ah oh o pongah, acaeng paruihaih cabu thungah kaom nawktanawk boih, a zunawk, a capanawk, a canunawk hoi rangpuinawk boih athum o sak.
19 Also for the sons of Aaron the priests, who were in the fields of the pasture lands of their cities, in every city, there were men who were mentioned by name to give portions to all the males amongst the priests and to all who were listed by genealogy amongst the Levites.
To kaminawk loe qaimanawk, Levi acaengnawk ohhaih vangpui taeng ih lawk ah kaom Aaron ih caa nongpa qaimanawk hoi Levi ahmin paruihaih cabu thungah kaom kaminawk boih hanah angmacae ih taham to pazet o.
20 Hezekiah did so throughout all Judah; and he did that which was good, right, and faithful before the LORD his God.
Hezekiah loe Judah prae boih ah, Angraeng Sithaw hmaa ah kahoih hmuen, katoeng hmuen hoi oepthok hmuen to sak.
21 In every work that he began in the service of God’s house, in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart and prospered.
Angmah ih Sithaw to pakrong moe, Sithaw ih im, daan hoi lokpaekhaihnawk baktih toengah toksak amtong naah, palungthin tang hoiah a sak pongah hmacawn.
