Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1And when these things had been duly celebrated, all Israel that were found in the cities of Juda, went out, and they broke the idols, and cut down the groves. demolished the high places, and destroyed the altars, not only out of all Juda and Benjamin, but out of Ephraim also and Manasses, till they had utterly destroyed them: then all the children of Israel returned to their possessions and cities.
1Pea ʻi he fakaʻosi ʻae meʻa ni kotoa pē, naʻe ʻalu ʻa ʻIsileli kotoa pē naʻe ʻi ai, ki he ngaahi kolo kotoa pē ʻo Siuta, ʻo laiki ʻae ngaahi meʻa tamapua ke fakaikiiki, pea naʻe tā ʻae ngaahi vao tapu, pea holoki hifo ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga mo e ngaahi feilaulauʻanga mei Siuta kotoa pē mo Penisimani, ʻi ʻIfalemi foki mo Manase, ke fakaʻauha kotoa pē. Pea naʻe toki ʻalu ʻae fānau kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo taki taha ʻae tangata ki hono tofiʻa, ʻi heʻenau ngaahi kolo ʻonautolu.
2And Ezechias appointed companies of the priests, and the Levites, by their courses, every man in his own office, to wit, both of the priests, and of the Levites, for holocausts, and for peace offerings, to minister, and to praise, and to sing in the gates of the camp of the Lord.
2¶ Pea naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ʻe Hesekaia ʻae ngaahi lakanga ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livai ʻo fakatatau mo honau lakanga, ʻae tangata taki taha ʻo fakatatau mo ʻene ngāue, ko e kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livai ki he ngaahi feilaulau tutu, pea mo e ngaahi feilaulau fakamelino, ke ngāue, pea ke nau fakafetaʻi, pea ke fakamālō ʻi he ngaahi matapā ʻoe ngaahi fale nofoʻanga ʻo Sihova.
3And the king’s part was, that of his proper substance the holocaust should be offered always morning and evening, and on the sabbaths, and the new moons and the other solemnities, as it is written in the law of Moses.
3Pea naʻa ne vaheʻi ʻae meʻa ʻae tuʻi ki he feilaulau tutu, ki he feilaulau tutu ʻi he pongipongi mo e efiafi, mo e ngaahi feilaulau tutu ki he ngaahi ʻaho tapu, pea ki he ngaahi tuʻu efiafi, pea ki he ngaahi kātoanga fai maʻu, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi ʻi he fono ʻa Sihova.
4He commanded also the people that dwelt in Jerusalem, to give to the priests, and the Levites their portion, that they might attend to the law of the Lord.
4Pea naʻa ne fekau foki ki he kakai naʻe nofo ʻi Selūsalema ke ʻatu ʻae vāhenga ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livai, koeʻuhi ke fakafiemālieʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he fono ʻa Sihova.
5Which when it was noised abroad in the ears of the people, the children of Israel offered in abundance the firstfruits of corn, wine, and oil, and honey: and brought the tithe of all things which the ground bringeth forth.
5¶ Pea ʻi he ongo kituʻa ʻae fekau, naʻe ʻomi leva ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻae ʻuluaki fua lahi ʻaupito ʻoe uite, mo e uaine, mo e lolo, mo e honi, pea mei he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku tupu ʻi he ngoue: pea mo e vāhenga ʻoe meʻa kotoa pē naʻa nau ʻomi ʻo lahi ʻaupito.
6Moreover the children of Israel and Juda, that dwelt in the cities of Juda, brought in the tithes of oxen, and sheep, and the tithes of holy things, which they had vowed to the Lord their God: and carrying them all, made many heaps.
6Pea ko e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mo Siuta, naʻe nofo ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta, naʻa nau ʻomi foki ʻae vāhenga ʻoe fanga pulu mo e fanga sipi, pea mo e vāhenga ʻoe meʻa tapu naʻe fakatapui kia Sihova ko honau ʻOtua, pea naʻe fokotuʻu ia ʻi he fokotuʻunga.
7In the third month they began to lay the foundations of the heaps, and in the seventh month, they finished them.
7ʻI hono tolu ʻoe māhina naʻa nau kamata ai hono ngaahi tuʻunga ʻoe ngaahi fokotuʻunga, pea naʻe fakaʻosi ia ʻi hono fitu ʻoe māhina.
8And when Ezechias and his princes came in, they saw the heaps, and they blessed the Lord and the people of Israel.
8Pea ʻi he haʻu ʻa Hesekaia mo e houʻeiki ʻo mamata ki he ngaahi fokotuʻunga, naʻa nau fakafetaʻi kia Sihova mo hono kakai ʻIsileli.
9And Ezechias asked the priests and the Levites, why the heaps lay so.
9Pea naʻe fehuʻi ʻe Hesekaia ki he kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livai ki he ngaahi fokotuʻunga meʻa.
10Azarias the chief priest of the race of Sadoc answered him, saying: Since the firstfruits began to be offered in the house of the Lord, we have eaten, and have been filled, and abundance is left, because the Lord hath blessed his people: and of that which is left is this great store which thou seest.
10Pea naʻe talia ia ʻe ʻAsalia ko e taulaʻeiki lahi ʻi he fale ʻo Satoki, ʻo ne pehē, “Talu mei he ʻaho naʻe kamata ʻomi ʻe he kakai ʻae ngaahi meʻa foaki ki he fale ʻo Sihova, ʻoku mau maʻu ʻae meʻa lahi ke kai, pea ʻoku toe lahi: he kuo tāpuaki ʻe Sihova ʻa hono kakai: pea ko ia ʻoku toe ko e fuʻu meʻa lahi ni.”
11Then Ezechias commanded to prepare storehouses in the house of the Lord. And when they had done so,
11¶ Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Hesekaia ke teuteu ʻae ngaahi potu fale ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova: pea naʻa nau teuteu ia,
12They brought in faithfully both the firstfruits, and the tithes, and all they had vowed. And the overseer of them was Chonenias the Levite, and Semei his brother was the second,
12ʻO nau ʻomi totonu ki ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa foaki mo e ngaahi vāhenga meʻa ʻoe ngaahi meʻa naʻe fakatapui: pea naʻe pule ki ai ʻa Kononaia ko e tangata Livai, pea hoko mo ia ʻa Simi ko hono tokoua.
13And after him Jehiel, and Azarias, and Nahath, and Asael, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Jesmachias, and Mahath, and Banaias, overseers under the hand of Chonenias, and Semei his brother, by the commandment of Ezechias the king, and Azarias the high priest of the house of God, to whom all things appertained.
13Pea ko Sehieli, mo ʻAsasia, mo Nehati, mo ʻAsaeli, mo Selimoti, mo Sosapati, mo Ilieli, mo Isimakia, mo Mehati, mo Penaia, ko e kau enginaki ʻi he pule ʻa Kononaia, mo Simi ko hono tokoua, ʻi he fekau ʻa Hesekaia ko e tuʻi, mo ʻAsalia ko e pule ʻoe fale ʻoe ʻOtua.
14But Core the son of Jemna the Levite, the porter of the east gate, was overseer of the things which were freely offered to the Lord, and of the firstfruits and the things dedicated for the holy of holies.
14Pea ko Kole ko e foha ʻo Imina ko e tangata Livai, ko e leʻo matapā ki he potu hahake, naʻe pule ia ki he ngaahi meʻa foaki loto ʻofa ki he ʻOtua, ke tufaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa foaki ʻa Sihova, mo e ngaahi meʻa māʻoniʻoni lahi.
15And under his charge were Eden, and Benjamin, Jesue, and Semeias, and Amarias, and Sechenias, in the cities of the priests, to distribute faithfully portions to their brethren, both little and great:
15Pea naʻe hoko mo ia, ʻa Iteni, mo Miniamini, mo Sesua, mo Simaia, mo ʻAmalia, mo Sikania, ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki, ʻi heʻenau ngāue totonu, ke tufa ki honau ngaahi kāinga ʻi honau lakanga, ki he lahi pea mo e siʻi:
16Besides the males from three years old and upward, to all that went into the temple of the Lord, and whatsoever there was need of in the ministry, and their offices according to their courses, day by day.
16Pea mo ʻenau tohi hohoko ʻoe fānau tangata, mei he tolu taʻu ʻo fai hake, ʻio, ke ʻatu kiate kinautolu taki taha naʻe hū ki he fale ʻo Sihova, honau ʻinasi ki he ʻaho taki taha ʻo fakatatau mo ʻenau ngāue ʻo fakatatau mo honau lakanga:
17To the priests by their families, and to the Levites from the twentieth year and upward, by their classes and companies.
17Ki he hokohoko ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki ʻi he fale ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, mo e kau Livai mei he uofulu taʻu ʻo fai hake, ʻo fakatatau mo ʻenau ngāue mo honau lakanga:
18And to all the multitude, both to their wives, and to their children of both sexes, victuals were given faithfully out of the things that had been sanctified.
18Pea ki he hokohoko ʻo ʻenau fānau siʻi kotoa pē, ko honau ngaahi uaifi, mo ʻenau ngaahi foha, mo honau ngaahi ʻofefine, ʻi he kakai fakataha kotoa pē: he naʻa nau fakatapui ʻakinautolu ʻi he māʻoniʻoni ʻi heʻenau ngāue totonu:
19Also of the sons of Aaron who were in the fields and in the suburbs of each city, there were men appointed, to distribute portions to all the males, among the priests and the Levites.
19Pea ko e ngaahi foha ʻo ʻElone foki ʻaia ko e kau taulaʻeiki ʻakinautolu, naʻa nau nofo ʻi he ngaahi ngoue ʻi he ngaahi potu ʻituʻa ʻi honau ngaahi kolo, ʻi honau ngaahi kolo kotoa pē, ko e kau tangata naʻe lau honau hingoa, ke ʻatu ʻae ngaahi vāhenga ki he fānau tangata kotoa pē ʻi he kau taulaʻeiki, pea kiate kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe lau ʻi honau hokohoko ʻi he kau Livai.
20So Ezechias did all things, which we have said in all Juda, and wrought that which was good; and right, and truth, before the Lord his God,
20¶ Pea naʻe fai pehē pe ʻe Hesekaia ʻi Siuta kotoa pē, ʻo ne fai ʻaia naʻe lelei mo angatonu mo moʻoni ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko hono ʻOtua.
21In all the service of the ministry of the house of the Lord according to the law and the ceremonies, desiring to seek his God with all his heart, and he did it and prospered,
21Pea ko e ngāue kotoa pē naʻa ne hoko ʻo fai ʻi he ngāue ʻoe fale ʻoe ʻOtua, pea ʻi he fono, pea ʻi he ngaahi fekau, ke kumi ki hono ʻOtua, naʻa ne fai ia ʻaki hono loto kotoa, pea naʻa ne monūʻia ai.
