2 Chronicles 29

1 Hesekiah sì jẹ́ ẹni ọdún mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dọ́gbọ̀n nígbà tí ó di ọba, ó sì jẹ ọba ní Jerusalẹmu fún ọdún mọ́kàndínlọ́gbọ̀n orúkọ ìyá rẹ̀ sì ni Abijah ọmọbìnrin Sekariah.

Hezekiah began to reign when he was twenty-five years old; he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Abijah; she was the daughter of Zechariah.

2 Ó sì ṣe ohun tí ó tọ́ ní ojú Olúwa, gẹ́gẹ́ bí baba rẹ̀ Dafidi ti ṣe.

He did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh, just as David his father had done.

3 Ní oṣù àkọ́kọ́ ní ọdún kìn-ín-ní ìjọba rẹ̀, ó sì ṣí àwọn ìlẹ̀kùn ilé Olúwa ó sì tún wọn ṣe.

In the first year of his reign, in the first month, Hezekiah opened the doors of the house of Yahweh and repaired them.

4 Ó sì mú àwọn àlùfáà wá àti àwọn ọmọ Lefi, ó sì kó wọn jọ yíká ìta ìlà-oòrùn.

He brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them together into the courtyard on the east side.

5 Ó sì wí pé, “Ẹ gbọ́ tèmi, ẹ̀yin ọmọ Lefi! Ẹ ya ara yín sí mímọ́ nísinsin yìí kí ẹ sì ya ilé Olúwa Ọlọ́run sí mímọ́, kí ẹ sì kó ohun àìmọ́ baba mi jáde kúrò ní ibi mímọ́.

He said to them, “Listen to me, you Levites! Consecrate yourselves, and consecrate the house of Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, and carry away the filthiness from the holy place.

6 Àwọn baba wa jẹ́ aláìṣòótọ́; wọ́n sì ṣe ohun àìtọ́ níwájú Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa, wọ́n sì kọ̀ ọ́ sílẹ̀. Wọ́n sì yí ojú wọn padà kúrò ní ibùgbé Olúwa, wọ́n sì pa ẹ̀yìn wọn dà sí i.

For our ancestors trespassed and did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh our God; they forsook him, turned away their faces from the place where Yahweh lives, and turned their backs on it.

7 Wọ́n sì tún ti ìlẹ̀kùn ìloro náà pẹ̀lú, wọ́n sì pa fìtílà. Wọn kò sì sun tùràrí tàbí pèsè ẹbọ sísun si ibi mímọ́ si Ọlọ́run Israẹli.

Also they shut up the doors of the porch and put out the lamps; they did not burn incense or offer burnt offerings in the holy place to the God of Israel.

8 Nítorí náà, ìbínú Olúwa ti ru sókè wá sórí Juda àti Jerusalẹmu ó sì ti fi wọ́n ṣe ohun èlò fún wàhálà, àti ìdààmú àti ẹ̀sín, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti ṣe fi ojú rẹ̀ rí i.

Therefore the wrath of Yahweh had fallen on Judah and Jerusalem, and he has made them to be an object of terror, of horror, and of scorn, as you can see with your own eyes.

9 Ìdí nìyí tí àwọn baba wa ṣe ṣubú nípa idà àti ìdí tí àwọn ọmọkùnrin àti ọmọbìnrin àti àwọn aya wa tiwọn kó wọ́n ní ìgbèkùn.

This is why our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons, our daughters, and our wives are in captivity for this.

10 Nísinsin yìí ó wà ní ọkàn mi láti bá Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli dá májẹ̀mú. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kí ìbínú rẹ̀ kíkan kí ó lè yípadà kúrò lọ́dọ̀ wa.

Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with Yahweh, the God of Israel, so that his fierce anger may turn away from us.

11 Àwọn ọmọ mi, ẹ má ṣe jáfara nísinsin yìí, nítorí tí Olúwa ti yàn yín láti dúró níwájú rẹ̀ láti sin, kí ẹ sì máa ṣe ìránṣẹ́ níwájú rẹ̀ àti láti sun tùràrí.”

My sons, do not be lazy now, for Yahweh has chosen you to stand before him, to worship him, and that you should be his servants and burn incense.”

12 Nígbà náà àwọn ọmọ Lefi wọ̀nyí múra láti ṣe iṣẹ́: nínú àwọn ọmọ Kohati, Mahati ọmọ Amasai: àti Joẹli ọmọ Asariah; nínú àwọn ọmọ Merari, Kiṣi ọmọ Abdi àti Asariah ọmọ Jehaleeli; nínú àwọn ọmọ Gerṣoni, Joah, ọmọ Simma àti Edeni ọmọ Joah;

Then the Levites arose: Mahath son of Amasai, and Joel son of Azariah, of the people of the Kohathites; and of the people of Merari, Kish son of Abdi, and Azariah son of Jehallelel; and of the Gershonites, Joah son of Zimmah, and Eden son of Joah;

13 nínú àwọn ọmọ Elisafani, Ṣimri àti Jeieli; nínú àwọn ọmọ Asafu, Sekariah àti Mattaniah;

of the sons of Elizaphan, Shimri and Jeuel; and of the sons of Asaph, Zechariah and Mattaniah;

14 nínú àwọn ọmọ Hemani, Jehieli àti Ṣimei; nínú àwọn ọmọ Jedutuni, Ṣemaiah àti Usieli.

of the sons of Heman, Jehuel and Shimei; and of the sons of Jeduthun, Shemaiah and Uzziel.

15 Nígbà tí wọ́n sì ti kó ara wọn jọ pọ̀ pẹ̀lú àwọn arákùnrin wọn, wọ́n sì ya ara wọn sí mímọ́, wọ́n sì lọ láti gbá ilé Olúwa mọ́, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọba ti pa á láṣẹ, ẹ tẹ̀lé ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa.

They gathered their brothers, they consecrated themselves, and they went in, as the king commanded, following the words of Yahweh, to cleanse the house of Yahweh.

16 Àwọn àlùfáà sì wọ inú ilé Olúwa lọ́hùn ún lọ láti gbá a mọ́. Wọ́n sì gbé e jáde sí inú àgbàlá ilé Olúwa gbogbo ohun àìmọ́ tí wọ́n rí nínú ilé Olúwa. Àwọn ọmọ Lefi sì mú u wọ́n sì gbangba odò Kidironi.

The priests went in to the inner part of the house of Yahweh to cleanse it; they brought out all the filth that they found in the temple of Yahweh into the courtyard of the house. The Levites took it to carry it out to the brook Kidron.

17 Wọ́n sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ ìyàsímímọ́ ní ọjọ́ kìn-ín-ní oṣù kìn-ín-ní, àti ní ọjọ́ kẹjọ oṣù náà wọ́n sì dé ìloro Olúwa. Fún ọjọ́ mẹ́jọ mìíràn sí i, wọ́n sì ya ilé Olúwa sí mímọ́ fúnra rẹ̀. Wọ́n sì parí ní ọjọ́ kẹrìndínlógún oṣù kìn-ín-ní.

Now they began the consecration on the first day of the first month. By the eighth day of the month they reached the porch of Yahweh. Then for eight more days they consecrated the house of Yahweh. On the sixteenth day of the first month they finished.

18 Nígbà náà wọn sì lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ ọba Hesekiah láti lọ jábọ̀ fún un: “Àwa ti gbá ilé Olúwa mọ́, pẹpẹ ẹbọ sísun pẹ̀lú gbogbo ohun ẹbọ rẹ̀, àti tábìlì àkàrà ìfihàn, pẹ̀lú gbogbo ohun èlò.

Then they went to Hezekiah, the king, inside the palace and said, “We have cleansed all the house of Yahweh, the altar for burnt offerings with all its implements, and the table of the bread of the presence, with all its implements.

19 A ti pèsè a sì ti yà sí mímọ́ gbogbo ohun èlò tí ọba Ahasi ti sọ di aláìmọ́ nínú àìṣòótọ́ rẹ̀ nígbà tí ó jẹ́ ọba; nísinsin yìí, wọ́n wà níwájú pẹpẹ Olúwa.”

So we have prepared and we have consecrated all the items that King Ahaz removed when he acted unfaithfully during his reign. See, they are in front of the altar of Yahweh.”

20 Ní kùtùkùtù òwúrọ̀ ọjọ́ kejì, ọba Hesekiah sì kó olórí àwọn ìjòyè jọ, ó sì lọ sókè ilé Olúwa.

Then Hezekiah the king rose early in the morning and gathered the leaders of the city; he went up to the house of Yahweh.

21 Wọ́n sì mú akọ màlúù méje wá, àti àgbò méje, àti ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn méje àti òbúkọ méje gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹbọ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ fún ìjọba, fún ibi mímọ́ àti fún Juda. Ọba pàṣẹ fun àwọn àlùfáà, àwọn ọmọ Aaroni, láti ṣe èyí lórí pẹpẹ Olúwa.

They brought seven bulls, seven rams, seven lambs, and seven male goats as a sin offering for the kingdom, for the sanctuary, and for Judah. He commanded the priests, the sons of Aaron, to offer them on the altar of Yahweh.

22 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n sì pa akọ màlúù, àwọn àlùfáà mú ẹ̀jẹ̀ náà, wọ́n sì fi wọ́n ara pẹpẹ. Bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ ni nígbà tí wọ́n pa àgbò, wọ́n sì fi ẹ̀jẹ̀ wọ́n orí pẹpẹ. Nígbà náà wọ́n sì pa ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn, wọ́n sì fi ẹ̀jẹ̀ wọn ara pẹpẹ.

So they killed the bulls, and the priests received the blood and sprinkled it on the altar. Then they killed the rams and sprinkled their blood on the altar; and they also killed the lambs and sprinkled their blood on the altar.

23 Òbúkọ fún ẹbọ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ni wọ́n gbé wá síwájú ọba àti ìjọ ènìyàn, wọ́n sì gbé ọwọ́ lé wọn.

They brought the male goats for the sin offering before the king and the assembly; they laid their hands on them.

24 Àwọn àlùfáà wọn sì pa òbúkọ, wọ́n sì gbé ẹ̀jẹ̀ kalẹ̀ lórí pẹpẹ fún ẹbọ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ láti ṣe ètùtù fún gbogbo Israẹli, nítorí ọba ti pàṣẹ kí a ṣe ẹbọ sísun àti ẹbọ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ fún gbogbo Israẹli.

The priests killed them, and they made a sin offering with their blood on the altar to make atonement for all Israel, for the king had commanded that a burnt offering and a sin offering should be made for all Israel.

25 Ó sì mú àwọn Lefi dúró nínú ilé Olúwa pẹ̀lú Kimbali, ohun èlò orin olókùn àti dùùrù ní ọ̀nà tí a ti paláṣẹ fún wọn láti ọ̀dọ̀ Dafidi àti Gadi aríran ọba àti Natani wòlíì. Èyí ni a pàṣẹ láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa láti ọwọ́ àwọn wòlíì rẹ̀.

Hezekiah placed the Levites in the house of Yahweh with cymbals, harps, and lyres, arranging them by the command of David, Gad, the king's seer, and Nathan, the prophet, for the command was from Yahweh by means of his prophets.

26 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn ọmọ Lefi sì dúró pẹ̀lú ohun èlò orin Dafidi, àti àwọn àlùfáà pẹ̀lú ìpè wọn.

The Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.

27 Hesekiah sì pa á láṣẹ láti rú ẹbọ sísun lórí pẹpẹ, bí ẹbọ sísun náà ti bẹ̀rẹ̀, orin sí Olúwa bẹ̀rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ìpè àti pẹ̀lú ohun èlò orin Dafidi ọba Israẹli.

Hezekiah commanded them to offer the burnt offering on the altar. When the burnt offering began, the song of Yahweh began also, with the trumpets, together with the instruments of David, king of Israel.

28 Gbogbo ìjọ ènìyàn náà sì wólẹ̀ sìn, àwọn akọrin kọrin, àwọn afùnpè sì fọn ìpè, gbogbo wọ̀nyí sì wà bẹ́ẹ̀ títí ẹbọ sísun náà fi parí tán.

All the assembly worshiped, the singers sang, and the trumpeters played; all this continued until the burnt offering was finished.

29 Nígbà tí wọ́n sì ṣe ìparí ẹbọ rírú, ọba àti gbogbo àwọn tí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ tẹ ara wọn ba, wọ́n sì sìn.

When they had finished the offerings, the king and all who were present with him bowed and worshiped.

30 Pẹ̀lúpẹ̀lú Hesekiah ọba, àti àwọn ìjòyè pàṣẹ fún àwọn ọmọ Lefi, láti fi ọ̀rọ̀ Dafidi àti ti Asafu aríran, kọrin ìyìn sí Olúwa: wọ́n sì fi inú dídùn kọrin ìyìn, wọ́n sì tẹrí wọn ba, wọ́n sì sìn.

Moreover, Hezekiah, the king, and the leaders commanded the Levites to sing praises to Yahweh with the words of David and of Asaph, the seer. They sang praises with gladness, and they bowed down and worshiped.

31 Nígbà náà ni Hesekiah dáhùn, ó sì wí pé, nísinsin yìí, ọwọ́ yín kún fún ẹ̀bùn fún Olúwa, ẹ súnmọ́ ìhín, kí ẹ sì mú ẹbọ àti ọrẹ-ọpẹ́ wá sínú ilé Olúwa. Ìjọ ènìyàn sì mú ẹbọ àti ọrẹ-ọpẹ́ wá; àti olúkúlùkù tí ọkàn rẹ̀ fẹ́, mú ẹbọ sísun wá.

Then Hezekiah said, “Now you have consecrated yourselves to Yahweh. Come here and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into the house of Yahweh.” The assembly brought sacrifices and thank offerings, and all who had a willing heart brought burnt offerings.

32 Iye ẹbọ sísun, tí ìjọ ènìyàn mú wá, sì jẹ́ àádọ́rin akọ màlúù, àti ọgọ́rùn-ún àgbò, àti igba ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn, gbogbo wọ̀nyí sì ni fún ẹbọ sísun sí Olúwa.

The number of the burnt offerings that the assembly brought was seventy bulls, one hundred rams, and two hundred male lambs. All these were for a burnt offering to Yahweh.

33 Àwọn ohun ìyàsímímọ́ sì jẹ́ ẹgbẹ̀ta màlúù, àti ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́ta àgùntàn.

The consecrated offerings were six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep.

34 Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn àlùfáà kò pọ̀ tó, wọn kò sì le bó gbogbo àwọn ẹran ẹbọ sísun náà: nítorí náà àwọn arákùnrin wọn, àwọn Lefi ràn wọ́n lọ́wọ́, títí iṣẹ́ náà fi parí, àti títí àwọn àlùfáà ìyókù fi yà wọ́n sí mímọ́: nítorí àwọn ọmọ Lefi ṣe olóòtítọ́ ní ọkàn ju àwọn àlùfáà lọ láti ya ara wọn sí mímọ́.

But the priests were too few to skin all the burnt offerings, so their brothers, the Levites, helped them until the work was done, and until the priests could consecrate themselves, for the Levites had been more careful to consecrate themselves than the priests.

35 Àti pẹ̀lú, àwọn ẹbọ sísun pàpọ̀jù, pẹ̀lú ọ̀rá ẹbọ àlàáfíà, pẹ̀lú ẹbọ ohun mímu fún ẹbọ sísun. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a sì tún bẹ̀rẹ̀ iṣẹ́ ìsìn ilé Olúwa.

In addition, there were very many burnt offerings; they were performed with the fat of the fellowship offerings, and there were drink offerings for every burnt offering. So the service of the house of Yahweh was set in order.

36 Hesekiah sì yọ̀, àti gbogbo ènìyàn pé, Ọlọ́run ti múra àwọn ènìyàn náà sílẹ̀, nítorí lójijì ni a ṣe nǹkan náà.

Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people also, because of what God had prepared for the people, for the work had been done quickly.
