1Hezekiah was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-nine years. His mother’s name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.
1Hezekiah siangpahrang ah oh amtong tangsuek naah saning pumphae pangato oh boeh; anih mah Jerusalem to saning pumphae takawtto thung uk; amno loe Zekariah canu Abijah.
2And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father David had done.
2Ampa David mah sak ih baktih toengah, anih doeh Angraeng mikhnukah katoeng hmuennawk boih to sak.
3In the first month of the first year of his reign, Hezekiah opened and repaired the doors of the house of the LORD.
3Siangpahrang ah ohhaih saningto haih, khrah tangsuek naah, anih mah Angraeng ih im khongkhanawk to paongh moe, pathoep.
4Then he brought in the priests and Levites and gathered them in the square on the east side.
4Qaima hoi Levi acaengnawk to a caeh haih moe, ni angyae bang ih loklam ah amkhuengsak.
5“Listen to me, O Levites,” he said. “Consecrate yourselves now and consecrate the house of the LORD, the God of your fathers. Remove from the Holy Place every impurity.
5Nihcae khaeah, Levi acaengnawk ka lok hae tahngai oh, ciimcai oh loe, nam panawk ih Angraeng Sithaw ih im to ciim o sak ah; hmuenciim thung ih panuet thok hmuennawk boih to takhoe oh.
6For our fathers were unfaithful and did evil in the sight of the LORD our God. They abandoned Him, turned their faces away from the dwelling place of the LORD, and turned their backs on Him.
6Aicae ampanawk loe Sithaw hmaa ah zae o boeh; aicae Angraeng Sithaw mikhnukah kahoih ai hmuen to a sak o moe, Angraeng to pahnawt o ving boeh; Angraeng ohhaih ahmuen to anghae o taak moe, hnuk angqoi o taak ving boeh.
7They also shut the doors of the portico and extinguished the lamps. They did not burn incense or present burnt offerings in the Holy Place of the God of Israel.
7Imthung akunhaih thoknawk to khah o moe, hmaiim to kalah bangah suek o ving boeh; nihcae loe Israel Sithaw khaeah hmuihoih thlaek o ai moe, angbawnhaih doeh hmuenciim ah sah o ai boeh.
8Therefore, the wrath of the LORD has fallen upon Judah and Jerusalem, and He has made them an object of terror, horror, and mockery, as you can see with your own eyes.
8To pongah Angraeng palungphuihaih to Judah hoi Israel nuiah phak; na mik hoi na hnuk o ih baktih toengah, nihcae to raihaih paek moe, dawnraihaih hoi minawk mah pahnui thui ih kami ah oh hanah a suek.
9For behold, this is why our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and daughters and wives are in captivity.
9To tiah oh o pongah khenah, aicae ampanawk loe sumsen hoiah duek o moe, aicae ih canu, capa hoi zunawk to misong ah caeh o haih.
10Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with the LORD, the God of Israel, so that His fierce anger will turn away from us.
10Aicae nuiah palungphuihaih dipsak hanah, vaihi Israel Angraeng Sithaw hoi lokmaihaih sak hanah ka poek.
11Now, my sons, do not be negligent, for the LORD has chosen you to stand before Him, to serve Him, to minister before Him, and to burn incense.”
11Ka capanawk, Angraeng hmaa ah angdoet han ih, a tok sak pae han ih, hmuihoih thlaek han ih, Anih mah ang qoih o pongah, vaihi tidoeh sah ai ah om o hmah, tiah a naa.
12Then the Levites set to work: Mahath son of Amasai and Joel son of Azariah from the Kohathites; Kish son of Abdi and Azariah son of Jehallelel from the Merarites; Joah son of Zimmah and Eden son of Joah from the Gershonites;
12To naah to ih Levi acaengnawk, Kohat acaeng thung hoiah Amasai capa Mahat, Azariah capa Joel; Merari acaeng thung hoiah Abdi capa Kish, Jehalelel capa Azariah; Gershon acaeng thung hoiah Zimmah capa Joah, Joah capa Eden;
13Shimri and Jeuel from the Elizaphanites; Zechariah and Mattaniah from the Asaphites;
13Elizaphan acaeng thung hoiah Shimri hoi Jeiel; Asaph acaeng thung hoiah Zekariah hoi Mattaniah;
14Jehiel and Shimei from the Hemanites; and Shemaiah and Uzziel from the Jeduthunites.
14Heman acaeng thung hoiah Jeiel hoi Shimei; Jeduthun acaeng thung hoiah Shemaiah hoi Uzziel cae toksak hanah angthawk o.
15When they had assembled their brothers and consecrated themselves, they went in to cleanse the house of the LORD, according to the command of the king by the words of the LORD.
15Angmacae nawkamyanawk nawnto amkhueng o pacoengah, Angraeng ih im to ciimsak hanah, Angraeng ih lokpaekhaih hoi siangpahrang mah thuih ih loknawk baktih toengah, angmacae hoi angmacae to ciimcai o sak.
16So the priests went inside the house of the LORD to cleanse it, and they brought out to the courtyard all the unclean things that they found in the temple of the LORD. Then the Levites took these things and carried them out to the Kidron Valley.
16Qaimanawk loe Angraeng ih hmuen ciimsak hanah, imthung bangah akun o; Angraeng im thungah hnuk o ih kaciim ai hmuennawk to Angraeng im longhmaa ah suek o boih. To hmuennawk to Levi acaengnawk mah lak o moe, Kidron tava ah suek o.
17They began the consecration on the first day of the first month, and on the eighth day of the month they reached the portico of the LORD. For eight more days they consecrated the house of the LORD itself, finishing on the sixteenth day of the first month.
17Khrah hmaloe amtong tangsuekhaih niah ciimcaihaih to amtong o moe, ni tazetto naah Angraeng im hmaa ah phak o; ni tazetto thung Angraeng im to ciimcai o sak; krah hmaloe koek ni hatlai tarukto naah pacoeng o.
18Then they went in to King Hezekiah and reported, “We have cleansed the entire house of the LORD, the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the table of the showbread with all its utensils.
18To pacoengah Hezekiah siangpahrang khaeah caeh o moe, anih khaeah, Angraeng im, angbawnhaih hmaicam hoi laom sabaenawk boih, takaw suekhaih caboinawk hoi laom sabaenawk to ciimcai o sak boih.
19Moreover, we have prepared and consecrated all the articles that King Ahaz in his unfaithfulness cast aside during his reign. They are now in front of the altar of the LORD.”
19Ahaz siangpahrang ah oh naah, zaehaih sak pongah vah ving ih laom sabaenawk boih to pakhraih o moe, ka ciim o sak boeh; khenah, to baktih hmuennawk boih Angraeng ih hmaicam hmaa ah oh, tiah a naa.
20Early the next morning King Hezekiah gathered the city officials and went up to the house of the LORD.
20Hezekiah siangpahrang loe khawnbang khawnthaw ah angthawk, vangpui ukkung angraengnawk boih to nawnto amkhuengsak pacoengah, Angraeng im ah caeh o tahang.
21They brought seven bulls, seven rams, seven lambs, and seven male goats as a sin offering for the kingdom, for the sanctuary, and for Judah. And the king commanded the priests, the descendants of Aaron, to offer them on the altar of the LORD.
21Maitaw tae sarihto, tuutae sarihto, tuucaa sarihto hoi maeh tae sarihto siangpahrang ih prae zaehaih, hmuenciim zaehaih hoi Judahnawk zae angbawnhaih ah paek hanah a sinh o. Aaron ih caanawk hoi qaimanawk mah Angraeng ih hmaicam ah angbawnhaih sak hanah siangpahrang mah lokpaek.
22So they slaughtered the bulls, and the priests took the blood and sprinkled it on the altar. They slaughtered the rams and sprinkled the blood on the altar. And they slaughtered the lambs and sprinkled the blood on the altar.
22To pongah maitaw taenawk to boh o, qaimanawk mah athii to lak o moe, hmaicam ah haeh o; tuu taenawk boh o naah doeh, athii to hmaicam ah haeh o; tuucaanawk doeh boh o moe, athii to hmaicam ah haeh o.
23Then they brought the goats for the sin offering before the king and the assembly, who laid their hands on them.
23Zae angbawnhaih ah maeh taenawk to siangpahrang hoi kaminawk hmaa ah hoih o moe, lu nuiah ban koeng o;
24And the priests slaughtered the goats and put their blood on the altar for a sin offering, to make atonement for all Israel, because the king had ordered the burnt offering and the sin offering for all Israel.
24siangpahrang mah Israelnawk boih hanah, hmai angbawnhaih hoi zae angbawnhaih sak hanah siangpahrang mah paek ih lok baktih toengah, qaimanawk mah maeh taenawk to boh o moe, Israel kaminawk boih zae loih hanah, athii hoiah hmaicam nuiah angdaehhaih to sak o.
25Hezekiah stationed the Levites in the house of the LORD with cymbals, harps, and lyres according to the command of David, of Gad the king’s seer, and of Nathan the prophet. For the command had come from the LORD through His prophets.
25David hoi siangpahrang ih tahmaa Gad hoi tahmaa Nathan cae mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, cingceng, tamoi hoi katoengnawk kruek kop Levi acaengnawk to im thungah ohsak; tahmaanawk khaeah Angraeng mah paek ih lok baktih toengah hae hmuen hae a sak.
26The Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.
26Levi acaengnawk loe David ih atuenpawknawk hoiah angdoet o, qaimanawk doeh mongkahnawk hoiah angdoet o toeng.
27And Hezekiah ordered that the burnt offering be sacrificed on the altar. When the burnt offering began, the song of the LORD and the trumpets began as well, accompanied by the instruments of David king of Israel.
27Hezekiah mah hmaicam ah hmai angbawnhaih sak hanah lokpaek; hmai angbawnhaih sak amtong o naah, mongkah hoi Israel siangpahrang David mah sak ih atuenpawknawk hoiah Angraeng khaeah laasak amtong o.
28The whole assembly was worshiping, the singers were singing, and the trumpeters were playing. All this continued until the burnt offering was completed.
28Hmai angbawnhaih boeng ai karoek to, laasah kaminawk mah laa to sak o moe, mongkah ueng kaminawk mah doeh mongkah to ueng o; to tiah kaminawk boih mah Sithaw to bok o.
29When the offerings were completed, the king and all those present with him bowed down and worshiped.
29Hmuen tathlanghaih boeng pacoengah, siangpahrang hoi to ih kaminawk boih mah akuep hoiah Sithaw to bok o.
30Then King Hezekiah and his officials ordered the Levites to sing praises to the LORD in the words of David and of Asaph the seer. So they sang praises with gladness and bowed their heads and worshiped.
30Hezekiah siangpahrang hoi angraengnawk loe David hoi tahmaa Asaph ih loknawk baktih toengah Angraeng saphawhaih laasak hanah Levi acaengnawk to lokpaek. To pongah nihcae mah anghoehaih hoi saphawhaih laa to sak o moe, akuephaih hoiah Sithaw to bok o.
31Then Hezekiah said, “Now that you have consecrated yourselves to the LORD, come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings to the house of the LORD.” So the assembly brought sacrifices and thank offerings, and all whose hearts were willing brought burnt offerings.
31To naah Hezekiah mah, Vaihiah nangmacae hoi nangmacae Angraeng khaeah nang paek o boeh pongah, Angraeng im ah angzo oh loe, angbawnhaih hoiah paek ih hmuen, anghoehaih hoiah paek ih hmuennawk to sin oh, tiah a naa. To pongah rangpuinawk mah angbawnhaih hmuennawk, anghoehaih hoiah paek ih hmuennawk, palunghuemhaih hoiah paek ih hmuennawk to sin o.
32The number of burnt offerings the assembly brought was seventy bulls, a hundred rams, and two hundred lambs; all these were for a burnt offering to the LORD.
32Rangpui mah angbawnhaih ah sin o ih hmuennawk loe maitaw tae quisarihto, tuu tae cumvaito hoi tuucaa cumvai hnetto phak; Angraeng khaeah angbawnhaih sak han ih ni hae hmuennawk boih hae a sinh o.
33And the consecrated offerings were six hundred bulls and three thousand sheep.
33Angbawnhaih ah paek ih hmuennawk loe maitaw tae cumvai tarukto, tuu sang thumto phak.
34However, since there were not enough priests to skin all the burnt offerings, their Levite brothers helped them until the work was finished and until the priests had been consecrated. For the Levites had been more diligent in consecrating themselves than the priests had been.
34Toe qaimanawk loe tamsi o pongah, angbawnhaih moi ahin to khok o boih thai ai; kalah qaimanawk loe ciimcai ah oh o, toksak boeng o ai karoek to, angmacae nawkamya Levi acaengnawk mah nihcae to abomh o. Levi acaengnawk loe qaimanawk pongah poekhaih palungthin ciim o kue.
35Furthermore, the burnt offerings were abundant, along with the fat of the peace offerings and the drink offerings for the burnt offerings. So the service of the house of the LORD was established.
35Hmai angbawnhaih, angdaeh angbawnhaih moithawk, angbawnhaih hmuen hoi nawnto paek ih hmuen loe paroeai pop. Angraeng im thungah toksakhaih to kahoih ah raemh o.
36Then Hezekiah and all the people rejoiced at what God had prepared for the people, because everything had been accomplished so quickly.
36Sithaw mah to baktih hmuen to karangah sak pacoeng hanah abomh pongah, Hezekiah hoi angmah ih kaminawk boih anghoe o.
