Luo Chronicle 29
1 Hezekiah el tokosrala fin acn Judah ke el yac longoul limekosr, ac el leum in Jerusalem ke yac longoul eu. Nina kial pa Abijah, acn natul Zechariah.
And so Hezekiah began to reign when he was twenty-five years old. And he reigned for twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.
2 El fahsr tukun srikasrak lal Tokosra David, papa matu tumal, ac el oru ma LEUM GOD El insewowo kac.
And he did what was pleasing in the sight of the Lord, in accord with all that his father David had done.
3 In malem se meet ke yac se tukun Hezekiah el tokosrala, el sifil ikasla mutunoa lun Tempul, ac sap in akwoyeyukla.
In the first year and month of his reign, he opened the double doors of the house of the Lord, and he repaired them.
4 El solani sie un mwet tol ac mwet Levi ke nien tukeni se layen kutulap in Tempul,
And he brought together the priests and Levites. And he gathered them in the wide eastern street.
5 ac kaskas nu selos we. El fahk, “Kowos mwet Levi, akmutalye kowos ac aknasnasyela Tempul lun LEUM GOD lun papa tomowos. Sisla liki Tempul ma nukewa ma akfohkfokye.
And he said to them: “Listen to me, O Levites, and be sanctified. Cleanse the house of the Lord, the God of your fathers, and take away every uncleanness from the sanctuary.
6 Papa matu tumasr elos tiana pwaye nu sin LEUM GOD lasr, ac elos oru ma El tia insewowo kac. Elos ngetla lukel ac fahsr liki yen El muta we.
Our fathers sinned and did evil in the sight of the Lord our God, abandoning him. They turned their faces away from the tabernacle of the Lord, and they presented their backs.
7 Elos kaliya mutunoa lun Tempul ac fuhlela lam we in kunla. Elos tia akosak mwe keng ku kisakin mwe kisa firir in Tempul lun God lun Israel.
They closed up the doors which were in the portico, and they extinguished the lamps. And they did not burn incense, and they did not offer holocausts, in the sanctuary of the God of Israel.
8 Ke sripa inge, LEUM GOD El kasrkusrak sin Judah ac Jerusalem, ac ma El oru nu selos arulana mwe lut ac mwe aksangeng nu sin mwet nukewa. Kowos sifacna liye ma inge ke motowos.
And so the fury of the Lord was stirred up against Judah and Jerusalem, and he handed them over to turmoil, and to destruction, and to hissing, just as you discern with your own eyes.
9 Papa tumasr elos anwuki ke mweun, ac utukla mutan kiasr ac tulik natusr nu in sruoh.
Lo, our fathers have fallen by the sword. Our sons, and our daughters and wives have been led away as captives because of this wickedness.
10 “Inge nga akola in orala sie wulela yurin LEUM GOD lun Israel, tuh Elan tia sifil kasrkusrak sesr.
Now therefore, it is pleasing to me that we should enter into a covenant with the Lord, the God of Israel. And he will turn away the fury of his indignation from us.
11 Wen nutik, nik kowos sisla pacl. Kowos pa LEUM GOD El sulela in akosak mwe keng nu sel, ac in kol mwet uh in alu nu sel.”
My sons, do not choose to be negligent. The Lord has chosen you so that you would stand before him, and minister to him, and worship him, and burn incense to him.”
12 Na mwet Levi inge elos tuyak: Liki sou lulap lal Kohath: Mahath wen natul Amasai, ac Joel wen natul Azariah Liki sou lulap lal Merari: Kish wen natul Abdi, ac Azariah wen natul Jehallelel Liki sou lulap lal Gershon: Joah wen natul Zimmah, ac Eden wen natul Joah
Therefore, the Levites rose up, Mahath, the son of Amasai, and Joel, the son of Azariah, from the sons of Kohath; then, from the sons of Merari, Kish, the son of Abdi, and Azariah, the son of Jehallelel; and from the sons of Gershon, Joah, the son of Zimmah, and Eden, the son of Joah;
13 Liki sou lulap lal Elizaphan: Shimri ac Jeuel Liki sou lulap lal Asaph: Zechariah ac Mattaniah
and truly, from the sons of Elizaphan, Shimri and Jeuel; also, from the sons of Asaph, Zechariah and Mattaniah;
14 Liki sou lulap lal Heman: Jehuel ac Shimei Liki sou lulap lal Jeduthun: Shemaiah ac Uzziel
indeed also, from the sons of Heman, Jehuel and Shimei; then too, from the sons of Jeduthun, Shemaiah and Uzziel.
15 Mwet inge elos solani mwet Levi wialos, ac elos nukewa aknasnasyalos sifacna. Na elos oru oana ma tokosra el sapkin nu selos, ac elos mutawauk in oru Tempul uh in nasnas, fal nu ke Ma Sap lun LEUM GOD.
And they gathered together their brothers. And they were sanctified. And they entered in accord with the command of the king and the order of the Lord, so that they might expiate the house of God.
16 Mwet tol elos utyak nu in Tempul in aknasnasyela, ac ma nukewa we ma tia nasnas elos usla liki Tempul nu ke nien tukeni likinum in Tempul. Na mwet Levi elos us ma inge nukewa we lac nu Infahlfal Kidron likin siti uh.
And the priests, entering the temple of the Lord so that they might sanctify it, took every uncleanness, which they had found inside, out to the vestibule of the house of the Lord; and the Levites took it away and transported it outside, to the torrent Kidron.
17 Orekma se inge mutawauk ke len se meet ke malem se meet, ac ke len akoalkosr elos aksafyela ma nukewa, weang pac infukil in utyak nu in Tempul. Na elos sifil orekma len oalkosr toko, nwe ke len aksingoul onkosr ke malem sac tuh elos in akoo Tempul nu ke alu.
Now they began to cleanse on the first day of the first month. And on the eighth day of the same month, they entered the portico of the temple of the Lord. And then they expiated the temple over eight days. And on the sixteenth day of the same month, they finished what they had begun.
18 Mwet Levi elos fahkak koanon orekma lalos nu sel Tokosra Hezekiah. Elos fahk, “Kut aknasnasyela tari acn nukewa in Tempul, weang pac loang in orek kisa, tepu neinyen bread mutal, ac kufwen mwe orekma nukewa.
Also, they entered to king Hezekiah, and they said to him: “We have sanctified the entire house of the Lord, and the altar of holocaust, and its vessels, indeed also the table of the presence, with all its vessels,
19 Kut oayapa folokonma kufwa nukewa ma Tokosra Ahaz el usla ke pacl ma el tuh tia pwaye nu sin LEUM GOD, ac kut sifil akmutalyela nufon. Ma inge nukewa oasr mutun loang lun LEUM GOD.”
and all the equipment of the temple, which king Ahaz, during his reign, had polluted after his transgression. And behold, these have all been set forth before the altar of the Lord.”
20 Tokosra Hezekiah el sulaklak na pangoneni mwet kol lun siti uh, ac elos tukeni som nu ke Tempul.
And rising up at first light, king Hezekiah joined as one all the leaders of the city, and they ascended to the house of the Lord.
21 Elos srukak cow mukul itkosr, sheep itkosr, sheep fusr itkosr, ac nani itkosr in mwe kisa in aknasnasye ma koluk lun sou in leum uh ac mwet Judah, ac in aknasnasye Tempul. Na tokosra el fahk nu sin mwet tol, su ma in sou lal Aaron, in orekmakin kosro inge in mwe kisa fin loang uh.
And together they offered seven bulls and seven rams, seven lambs and seven he-goats, for sin, for the kingdom, for the Sanctuary, for Judah. And he spoke to the priests, the sons of Aaron, so that they would offer these upon the altar of the Lord.
22 Mwet tol elos uniya cow mukul uh meet, na sheep uh toko, na fah sheep fusr, ac elos aksroksrokye loang uh ke srahn ma inge ke kais sie pacl ma kisaiyuk kosro inge.
And so they slaughtered the bulls. And the priests took up the blood, and they poured it upon the altar. Then they also slaughtered the rams, and they poured their blood upon the altar. And they immolated the lambs, and they poured the blood upon the altar.
23 Tukun ma inge nukewa elos usla nani uh nu yorol tokosra ac mwet ma wi alu uh, ac elos filiya paolos fin nani inge.
They brought the he-goats for sin before the king and the entire multitude. And they laid their hands upon them.
24 Na mwet tol elos uniya nani uh, ac ukuiya srah kac nu fin loang uh tuh in mwe kisa nu ke eela ma koluk lun mwet nukewa, mweyen tokosra el sap tuh mwe kisa firir, ac mwe kisa in eela ma koluk, in orek ke mwet Israel nukewa.
And the priests immolated them, and they sprinkled their blood before the altar, for the expiation of all Israel. For certainly the king had instructed that the holocaust and the sin offering should be made on behalf of all Israel.
25 Tokosra el oru oana ma LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Tokosra Davi — ma David el eis sel Gad, mwet liaten lun tokosra, oayapa sel mwet palu Nathan. Tokosra el oakiya acn sin mwet Levi in Tempul, wi harp ac cymbal,
Also, he situated the Levites in the house of the Lord, with cymbals, and psalteries, and harps, according to the disposition of king David, and of the seer Gad, and of the prophet Nathan. For indeed, this was the precept of the Lord, by the hand of his prophets.
26 kain mwe on ma Tokosra David el tuh orekmakin. Mwet tol elos oayapa tu we wi mwe ukuk natulos.
And the Levites stood, holding the musical instruments of David, and the priests held the trumpets.
27 Hezekiah el sap in mutawauk orek mwe kisa firir, ac ke kisa uh mutawauk, mwet uh on ac kaksak nu sin LEUM GOD, ac mwet srital ke mwe on elos mutawauk ukya mwe ukuk ac mwe on nukewa pac saya.
And Hezekiah ordered that they should offer holocausts upon the altar. And when the holocausts were being offered, they began to sing praises to the Lord, and to sound the trumpets, and to play various musical instruments, which David, the king of Israel, had prepared.
28 Mwet nukewa su muta we elos wi alu, na pusren on lun mwet uh ac mwe on saya orek nwe ke firirla nukewa mwe kisa uh.
Then the entire crowd was adoring, and the singers and those who were holding the trumpeters were exercising their office, until the holocaust was completed.
29 Na Tokosra Hezekiah ac mwet nukewa sikukmutunte ac alu nu sin God.
And when the oblation was finished, the king, and all who were with him, bowed down and adored.
30 Tokosra ac mwet kol lun mutunfacl sac elos fahk nu sin mwet Levi in onkakin on in kaksak ma David el simusla, oayapa ma Asaph mwet palu el simusla. Ouinge mwet nukewa on ke engan lulap ke elos sikukmutunte ac alu nu sin LEUM GOD.
And Hezekiah and the rulers instructed the Levites to praise the Lord with the words of David, and of Asaph, the seer. And they praised him with great joy, and kneeling down, they adored.
31 Hezekiah el fahk nu sin mwet uh, “Inge ke kowos nasnasla tari, use mwe kisa tuh in mwe sang kulo nu sin LEUM GOD.” Na elos akos, ac kutu selos sifacna use kosro natulos ke insewowo lalos, tuh in mwe kisa firir.
And now Hezekiah also added: “You have filled your hands for the Lord. Draw near, and offer victims and praises in the house of the Lord.” Therefore, the entire multitude offered victims and praises and holocausts, with devout intention.
32 Elos use cow mukul itngoul, sheep siofok, ac sheep fusr luofoko, in mwe kisa firir nu sin LEUM GOD.
Now the number of the holocausts that the multitude offered was seventy bulls, one hundred rams, two hundred lambs.
33 Elos oayapa use cow mukul onfoko, ac tolu tausin sheep tuh in mwe kisa ma mwet uh in kang.
And they sanctified to the Lord six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep.
34 Ke puelac mwet tol in mukena uniya kosro inge kewa, na mwet Levi elos kasrelos nwe ke na tari orekma kac. In pacl sacn oasr pac mwet tol su sifacna aknasnasyalosla. Mwet Levi elos oaru liki mwet tol in oru lumah fal nu ke aknasnas lalos uh.
Truly, the priests were few; neither were they sufficient to remove the pelts from the holocausts. Therefore, the Levites, their brothers, also assisted them, until the work was completed, and the priests, who were of higher rank, were sanctified. For indeed, the Levites are sanctified with an easier ritual than the priests.
35 Sayen mwe kisa ma fonna firiryak, ma kunen mwet tol in esukak kiris ke ma kisakinyukla ke ma mwet uh kangla, oayapa in okoala wain ma wi na mwe kisa firir utuku. Ouinge alu in Tempul uh sifilpa mutawauk.
Thus, there were very numerous holocausts, with the fat of the peace offerings and the libations of the holocausts. And the service of the house of the Lord was completed.
36 Tokosra Hezekiah ac mwet uh elos engan, mweyen God El kasrelos oru ma inge nukewa ke sie pacl na fototo.
And Hezekiah and all the people were joyful because the ministry of the Lord was accomplished. For certainly, it had pleased them to do this suddenly.
