¹Zvino izvo zvose zvakati zvapera, vaIsiraeri vose vakanga varipo, vakabuda kumaguta aJudha, vakaputsa shongwe, nokutema matanda okunamata nawo, vakaputsa matunhu akakwirira nearitari kwaJudha nokwaBhenjamini kose, nokwaEfuremu nokwaManase, kusvikira vazviparadza zvose. Ipapo vana vaIsiraeri vose vakadzokera kumaguta avo, mumwe nomumwe kuzvinhu zvake.

¹And at the completion of all this, gone out have all Israel who are found present to the cities of Judah, and break the standing-pillars, and cut down the shrines, and break down the high places and the altars, out of all Judah and Benjamin, and in Ephraim and Manasseh, even to completion, and all the sons of Israel turn back, each to his Possession, to their cities.

²Hezekia akaraira mapoka avapristi navaRevhi pamapoka avo, munhu mumwe nomumwe pabasa rake vapristi navaRevhi vose, vakabayira zvipiriso zvinopiswa nezvipiriso zvokuyananisa, kushumira nokuvonga, nokurumbidza mumasuwo emisasa yaJehovha.

²And Hezekiah appointeth the courses of the priests, and of the Levites, by their courses, each according to his service, of the priests and of the Levites, for burnt-offering, and for peace-offerings, to minister, and to give thanks, and to give praise in the gates of the camps of Jehovah.

³Akarairawo mugove wefuma yamambo wezvipiriso zvinopiswa, zvaiti: Wezvipiriso zvinopiswa mangwanani namadekwana, nezvipiriso zvinopiswa pamasabata, napakugara komwedzi, napamitambo yakatarwa, sezvazvakanyorwa pamurayiro waJehovha.

³And a portion of the king, from his substance, [is] for burnt-offerings, for burnt-offerings of the morning, and of the evening, and the burnt-offerings of sabbaths, and of new moons, and of appointed seasons, as it is written in the law of Jehovah.

⁴Akarairawo vanhu veJerusaremu kupa vapristi navaRevhi mugove wavo, kuti ivo vasimbe pamurayiro waJehovha.

⁴And he saith to the people, to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to give the portion of the priests, and of the Levites, so that they are strengthened in the law of Jehovah;

⁵Zvino vakati vachangonzwa murayiro uyu, vana vaIsiraeri vakapa zvakawanda zvezvitsva, zvezviyo newaini, namafuta, nouchi, nemichero yose yeminda; uye chegumi chezvinhu zvose vakauya nazvo zviri zvizhinji.

⁵and at the spreading forth of the thing have the sons of Israel multiplied the first-fruit of corn, new wine, and oil, and honey, and of all the increase of the field, and the tithe of the whole in abundance they have brought in.

⁶Navana vaIsiraeri navaJudha vakanga vagere pamaguta aJudha vakauyawo nezvegumi zvenzombe namakwai, nezvegumi zvezvinhu zvakatsaurwa zvakanga zvatsaurirwa Jehovha Mwari wavo, vakazviita mirwi.

⁶And the sons of Israel and Judah, those dwelling in cities of Judah, they also a tithe of herd and flock, and a tithe of the holy things that are sanctified to Jehovah their God, have brought in, and they give -- heaps, heaps;

⁷Vakatanga kuita mirwi pamwedzi wechitatu, vakapedza nomwedzi wechinomwe.

⁷in the third month they have begun to lay the foundation of the heaps, and in the seventh month they have finished.

⁸Zvino Hezekia namachinda, vakati vasvika nokuona mirwi, vakavonga Jehovha navanhu vake vaIsiraeri.

⁸And Hezekiah and the heads come in and see the heaps, and bless Jehovah and His people Israel,

⁹Ipapo Hezekia akabvunza vapristi navaRevhi pamusoro pemirwi.

⁹and Hezekiah inquireth at the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps,

¹⁰Azaria mupristi mukuru weimba yaZadhoki akamupindura, akati, Kubva nguva yavakatanga kuisa zvipo muimba yaJehovha, takadya, tikaguta, tikasarirwa nezvizhinji, nekuti Jehovha akaropafadza vanhu vake; zvasara ndizvo zvizhinji izvi.

¹⁰and Azariah the head priest, of the house of Zadok, speaketh unto him, and saith, `From the beginning of the bringing of the heave-offering to the house of Jehovah, [there is] to eat, and to be satisfied, and to leave abundantly, for Jehovah hath blessed His people, and that left [is] this store.'

¹¹Ipapo Hezekia akaraira kuti vagadzire makamuri mumba maJehovha; vakaagadzira.

¹¹And Hezekiah saith to prepare chambers in the house of Jehovah, and they prepare,

¹²Vakapinza zvipo, nomutowo wakatendeka, nezvegumi, nezvinhu zvakatsaurirwa Jehovha; Konania muRevhi akaitwa mutariri wazvo, uye Shimei munin'ina wake akanga ari wechipiri.

¹²and they bring in the heave-offering, and the tithe, and the holy things faithfully; and over them is a leader, Conaniah the Levite, and Shimei his brother [is] second;

¹³NaJehieri, naAzazia, naNahati, naAsaheri, naJerimoti, naJozabhadhi, naErieri, nalsimakia, naMahati, naBhenaya, vaiva vatariri pasi paKonania naShimei munin'ina wake, vakanga vagadzwa namambo Hezekia naAzaria mutariri weimba yaMwari.

¹³and Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath, and Asahel, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Ismachiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah, [are] inspectors under the hand of Conaniah and Shimei his brother, by the appointment of Hezekiah the king, and Azariah leader of the house of God.

¹⁴Kore mwanakomana waImina muRevhi, mutariri wesuwo rokumabvazuva, akanga ari mutariri wenhendo dzaingopiwa Mwari nokuzvidira, kuti agovere zvipo zvaJehovha nezvinhu zvitsvene kwazvo.

¹⁴And Kore son of Imnah the Levite, the gatekeeper at the east, [is] over the willing-offerings of God, to give the heave-offering of Jehovah, and the most holy things.

¹⁵Pasi pake pakanga pana Edheni, naMiniamini, naJeshua, naShemaya, naAmaria, naShekania, mumaguta avapristi, pamabasa avo akatarwa, kuti vape hama dzavo namapoka, vakuru navaduku vose;

¹⁵And by his hand [are] Eden, and Miniamin, and Jeshua, and Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shechaniah, in cities of the priests, faithfully to give to their brethren in courses, as the great so the small,

¹⁶vasingaverengi varume vakanga vakanyorwa mazita avo, kubva pamakore matatu navanopfuura, Ani naani aipinda mumba maJehovha, kuzoita mabasa akadikamwa zuva rimwe nerimwe, pamabasa avo avakanga vapiwa namapoka avo;

¹⁶apart from their genealogy, to males from a son of three years and upward, to every one who hath gone in to the house of Jehovah, by the matter of a day in its day, for their service in their charges, according to their courses;

¹⁷navakanga vaverengwa pamazita avapristi nedzimba dzamadzibaba avo, navaRevhi vamakore makumi maviri navakapfuura, pamabasa avo namapoka avo;

¹⁷and the genealogy of the priests by the house of their fathers, and of the Levites, from a son of twenty years and upward, in their charges, in their courses;

¹⁸navakaverengwa namazita epwere dzavo dzose, navakadzi vavo, navanakomana vavo, navanasikana vavo, paungano yose; nekuti vakanga vazvinatsa noutsvene pamabasa avo akatarwa;

¹⁸and to the genealogy among all their infants, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters to all the congregation, for in their faithfulness they sanctify themselves in holiness.

¹⁹navanakomana vaAroni vapristi vakanga vari kuminda yoruwa rwamaguta avo, paguta rimwe nerimwe kwaiva navarume vakanga vakanyorwa mazita avo, kuti vape varume vose pakati pavapristi migove yavo, navose vakaverengwa mazita avo pakati pavaRevhi.

¹⁹And to sons of Aaron, the priests, in the fields of the suburb of their cities, in every city and city, [are] men who have been defined by name, to give portions to every male among the priests, and to every one who reckoned himself by genealogy among the Levites.

²⁰Ndizvo zvakaita Hezekia kwaJudha kose; akaita zvakanaka nezvakarurama nezvakatendeka pamberi paJehovha Mwari wake.

²⁰And Hezekiah doth thus in all Judah, and doth that which is good, and that which is right, and that which is true, before Jehovah his God;

²¹Pabasa rimwe nerimwe raakatanga pakushumira paimba yaMwari, napamurayiro, napamirau, napakutsvaka Mwari wake, wakazviita nomoyo wake wose, akakunda.

²¹and in every work that he hath begun for the service of the house of God, and for the law, and for the command, to seek to his God, with all his heart he hath wrought and prospered.
