1Hezekiah began to reign when he was twenty-five years old; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.
1b xcaßcßâl chihab cuan re laj Ezequías nak qui-oc chokß xreyeb laj Judá. Belêb xcaßcßâl chihab quicuan saß xcuanquil aran Jerusalén. Lix naß, aßan lix Abías lix rabin laj Zacarías.
2He did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that David his father had done.
2Laj Ezequías quicuan saß tîquilal chiru li nimajcual Dios joß nak quicuan laj David lix xeßtônil yucuaß.
3He in the first year of his reign, in the first month, opened the doors of the house of Yahweh, and repaired them.
3Saß li xbên po re li xbên chihab roquic chokß rey laj Ezequías quixte li oquebâl re lix templo li nimajcual Dios ut quixtakla xyîbanquil.
4He brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them together into the broad place on the east,
4Quixtakla xbokbaleb laj tij ut eb laj levita ut quixchßutubeb saß li nebâl li nacana saß li este.
5and said to them, “Listen to me, you Levites! Now sanctify yourselves, and sanctify the house of Yahweh, the God of your fathers, and carry out the filthiness out of the holy place.
5Ut quixye reheb: —Chinêrabihak lâex aj levita. Santobresihomak êrib lâex ut santobresihomak lix templo li Kâcuaß, lix Dioseb li kaxeßtônil yucuaß. Ut isihomak saß li templo chixjunil li cßaßru namuxuc ru.
6For our fathers have trespassed, and done that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of Yahweh, and turned their backs.
6Eb li kaxeßtônil yucuaß queßxkßetkßeti ribeb chiru li Kâcuaß li kaDios ut queßxbânu li incßaß nacuulac chiru. Queßxcanab xlokßoninquil li Kâcuaß Dios saß lix templo ut queßxtzßektâna.
7Also they have shut up the doors of the porch, and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense nor offered burnt offerings in the holy place to the God of Israel.
7Queßxtzßap li oquebâl re lix templo ut incßaß chic queßxqßue xxamleleb li candil. Incßaß chic queßxcßat li incienso chi moco queßxqßue lix cßatbil mayejeb saß lix templo li Kâcuaß lix Dioseb laj Israel.
8Therefore the wrath of Yahweh was on Judah and Jerusalem, and he has delivered them to be tossed back and forth, to be an astonishment, and a hissing, as you see with your eyes.
8Joßcan nak quichal xjoskßil li Kâcuaß saß xbêneb laj Judá ut saß xbêneb laj Jerusalén. Quixqßueheb chi seßêc ut chi hobecß. Ut xiu xiu rilbaleb quixcanabeb joß yôquex chirilbal lâex anakcuan.
9For, behold, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this.
9Eb li kayucuaß queßcamsîc chi chßîchß. Ut eb li kalal kacßajol ut eb li kixakil queßcßameß chi prêxil xban li incßaß us queßxbânu.
10Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with Yahweh, the God of Israel, that his fierce anger may turn away from us.
10Joßcan nak anakcuan xinye nak tinbânu junak li contrato riqßuin li Kâcuaß lix Dioseb laj Israel re nak tâêlk xjoskßil saß kabên.
11My sons, don’t be negligent now; for Yahweh has chosen you to stand before him, to minister to him, and that you should be his ministers, and burn incense.”
11Lâex aj levita, mêcanab cßanjelac chiru li Kâcuaß, xban nak li Kâcuaß, aßan li quisicßoc êru re nak junelic cuânkex riqßuin ut texcßanjelak chiru ut re nak têcßat li incienso chiru, chan laj Ezequías.
12Then the Levites arose, Mahath, the son of Amasai, and Joel the son of Azariah, of the sons of the Kohathites; and of the sons of Merari, Kish the son of Abdi, and Azariah the son of Jehallelel; and of the Gershonites, Joah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joah;
12Eb laj levita li queßxtiquib cßanjelac chi ticto, aßaneb aßin: eb li ralal xcßajol laj Coat, aßaneb laj Mahat li ralal laj Amasai ut laj Joel li ralal laj Azarías; eb li ralal xcßajol laj Merari, aßaneb laj Cis li ralal laj Abdi, ut laj Azarías li ralal laj Jehalelel; eb li ralal xcßajol laj Gersón, aßaneb laj Joa li ralal laj Zima ut laj Edén li ralal laj Joa.
13and of the sons of Elizaphan, Shimri and Jeuel; and of the sons of Asaph, Zechariah and Mattaniah;
13Eb li queßoc chi cßanjelac saß xyânkeb li ralal xcßajol laj Elizafán, aßaneb laj Simri ut laj Jeiel; eb li ralal xcßajol laj Asaf, aßaneb laj Zacarías ut laj Matanías.
14and of the sons of Heman, Jehuel and Shimei; and of the sons of Jeduthun, Shemaiah and Uzziel.
14Ut eb li ralal xcßajol laj Hemán, aßaneb laj Jehiel ut laj Simei; ut eb li ralal xcßajol laj Jedutún, aßaneb laj Semaías ut laj Uziel.
15They gathered their brothers, and sanctified themselves, and went in, according to the commandment of the king by the words of Yahweh, to cleanse the house of Yahweh.
15Eb laj levita aßin queßxchßutubeb lix comoneb. Queßxsantobresi ribeb ut chirix aßan queßoc chixsantobresinquil li templo joß quiyeheß reheb xban li Kâcuaß ut li rey.
16The priests went in to the inner part of the house of Yahweh, to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in Yahweh’s temple into the court of the house of Yahweh. The Levites took it, to carry it out abroad to the brook Kidron.
16Eb laj tij queßoc saß li templo re teßxsabesi ut queßrisi saß li templo chixjunil li moco xcßulub ta cuânc aran. Queßxcßam saß li nebâl re li templo. Chirix aßan eb laj levita chic queßcßamoc re toj saß li nimaß Cedrón.
17Now they began on the first day of the first month to sanctify, and on the eighth day of the month came they to the porch of Yahweh; and they sanctified the house of Yahweh in eight days: and on the sixteenth day of the first month they made an end.
17Queßxtiquib xsantobresinquil li templo saß li xbên cutan re li xbên po. Chiru cuakxakib cutan queßrakeß xsantobresinquil chixjunil toj saß li oquebâl re li templo. Ut chiru li cuakxakib cutan chic yôqueb chixcauresinquil li templo re teßlokßonînk cuiß. Queßxchoy li cßanjel saß li cuaklaju xbe li xbên po.
18Then they went in to Hezekiah the king within the palace, and said, “We have cleansed all the house of Yahweh, and the altar of burnt offering, with all its vessels, and the table of show bread, with all its vessels.
18Chirix chic aßan queßcôeb riqßuin li rey Ezequías ut queßxye re: —Ac xkasabesi chixjunil lix templo li Kâcuaß. Xkasantobresi li artal li nacßatman cuiß li mayej joß ajcuiß li chßîchß li nacßanjelac, joß ajcuiß li mêx li naqßueman cuiß li kßaxtesinbil caxlan cua joß ajcuiß li secß.
19Moreover all the vessels, which king Ahaz in his reign threw away when he trespassed, have we prepared and sanctified; and behold, they are before the altar of Yahweh.”
19Xkacauresi ut xkasantobresi chixjunil li cßanjelebâl li quirisi li rey Acaz saß li templo nak quixtzßektâna li Kâcuaß. Anakcuan eb li cßanjelebâl cuan chiru lix artal li nimajcual Dios, chanqueb.
20Then Hezekiah the king arose early, and gathered the princes of the city, and went up to the house of Yahweh.
20Joß cuulajak chic nak toj ekßela li rey Ezequías quixchßutubeb chixjunileb li nequeßtaklan saß li tenamit ut queßcôeb saß lix templo li Kâcuaß.
21They brought seven bulls, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven male goats, for a sin offering for the kingdom and for the sanctuary and for Judah. He commanded the priests the sons of Aaron to offer them on the altar of Yahweh.
21Queßxcßam cuukub li bôyx toj sâjeb, cuukub li têlom carner, ut cuukub chic li têlom carner li toj sâjeb joß ajcuiß cuukub li têlom chibât. Queßxcßameb li xul aßin re teßxmayeja re xtzßâmanquil xcuybal xmâc li rey ut li ralal xcßajol joß eb ajcuiß li cuanqueb Judá. Ut re ajcuiß xsantobresinquil lix templo li Kâcuaß. Li rey quixye reheb laj tij nak aßaneb li teßcßatok re li xul saß xbên lix artal li Kâcuaß. Eb laj tij, aßaneb li ralal xcßajol laj Aarón.
22So they killed the bulls, and the priests received the blood, and sprinkled it on the altar: and they killed the rams, and sprinkled the blood on the altar: they killed also the lambs, and sprinkled the blood on the altar.
22Eb laj tij queßxcamsiheb li toro ut queßxxoc lix quiqßueleb. Queßxrachrachi saß xbên li artal. Ut queßxcamsi ajcuiß eb li carner li chêqueb, joß ajcuiß li carner li toj sâjeb ut queßxrachrachi lix quiqßueleb saß xbên li artal.
23They brought near the male goats for the sin offering before the king and the assembly; and they laid their hands on them:
23Chirix aßan queßxcßam li têlom chibât chiru li rey ut chiruheb li tenamit li chßutchßûqueb aran re nak teßxqßue li rukßeb saß xbêneb. Eb li xul aßan teßmayejâk re xtzßâmanquil xcuybal lix mâqueb.
24and 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 commanded that the burnt offering and the sin offering should be made for all Israel.
24Ut eb laj tij queßxcamsiheb li chibât ut queßxqßue lix quiqßuel saß li artal. Aßan li mayej re xtojbal rix lix mâqueb chixjunileb laj Israel xban nak li rey quixtaklaheb chixcßatbal li mayej saß xcßabaßeb chixjunileb laj Israel.
25He set the Levites in the house of Yahweh with cymbals, with stringed instruments, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, and of Gad the king’s seer, and Nathan the prophet; for the commandment was of Yahweh by his prophets.
25Ut li rey Ezequías quixqßueheb cuißchic laj levita saß lix templo li Dios re teßcuajbak riqßuin li sursûquil chßîchß, li salterio ut li arpa. Queßxbânu joß quicßuteß chiruheb xban li rey David ut xban laj Gad lix profeta li Dios li quicßanjelac chiru laj David, joß ajcuiß li profeta Natán. Queßxbânu chi joßcan xban nak li Dios quixye reheb lix profeta nak joßcan teßxbânu.
26The Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.
26Eb laj levita xakxôqueb saß lix naßajeb ut cuanqueb lix cuajb riqßuineb li quiqßueheß reheb xban li rey David junxil. Ut eb laj tij cuanqueb lix trompeta riqßuineb.
27Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt offering on the altar. When the burnt offering began, the song of Yahweh began also, and the trumpets, together with the instruments of David king of Israel.
27Li rey Ezequías quixtakla xcßatbal li mayej saß xbên li artal. Ut saß ajcuiß li hônal aßan queßxtiquib xyâbasinquil li trompeta ut xchßeßbal li cuajb li quiqßueheß reheb xban laj David li quicuan chokß xreyeb laj Israel. Ut queßbichan re xqßuebal xlokßal li Dios.
28All the assembly worshiped, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded; all this continued until the burnt offering was finished.
28Chixjunileb li tenamit li cuanqueb aran yôqueb chixlokßoninquil li Dios. Eb laj bichanel yôqueb chi bichânc ut eb li cuanqueb xtrompeta yôqueb chixyâbasinquil li trompeta toj retal qui-osoß xcßatic li mayej.
29When they had made an end of offering, the king and all who were present with him bowed themselves and worshiped.
29Ut nak ac x-osoß xcßatic li mayej, li rey Ezequías ut chixjunileb li cuanqueb rochben queßxcuikßib ribeb chixlokßoninquil li Dios.
30Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes 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 their heads and worshiped.
30Ut chirix aßan, li rey rochbeneb li cuanqueb xcuanquil queßxye reheb laj levita nak teßxqßue xlokßal li Kâcuaß riqßuin li bich li queßxyîb li rey David ut li profeta Asaf. Ut eb aßan queßxbicha xlokßal li Kâcuaß Dios chi saheb saß xchßôl. Queßxcuikßib ribeb ut queßxlokßoni li Kâcuaß.
31Then Hezekiah answered, “Now you have consecrated yourselves to Yahweh; come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into the house of Yahweh.” The assembly brought in sacrifices and thank offerings; and as many as were of a willing heart brought burnt offerings.
31Ut li rey Ezequías quixye reheb: —Lâex ac xesantobresi êrib chiru li Kâcuaß. Anakcuan naru têcßam saß li templo li xul re têmayeja joß ajcuiß li mayej re bantioxînc chiru li Kâcuaß, chan. Ut li qßuila tenamit li chßutchßûqueb aran queßxqßue li xul re teßxmayeja joß ajcuiß li mayej re bantioxînc chiru li Dios. Ut eb li qui-ala saß xchßôleb queßxcßat lix mayej chiru li Kâcuaß.
32The number of the burnt offerings which the assembly brought was seventy bulls, one hundred rams, and two hundred lambs: all these were for a burnt offering to Yahweh.
32Aßan aßin xqßuial li xul li queßxqßue li tenamit chokß xcßatbil mayej: lajêb xcâcßâl li bôyx, jun ciento li têlom carner, ut cuib ciento li cocß carner. Ut queßxcßat chokß xmayejeb chiru li Kâcuaß.
33The consecrated things were six hundred head of cattle and three thousand sheep.
33Aßan aßin xqßuial chixjunil li mayej li queßxqßue: cuakib ciento li bôyx ut oxib mil li carner.
34But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all the burnt offerings: therefore their brothers the Levites helped them, until the work was ended, and until the priests had sanctified themselves; for the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests.
34Eb laj tij incßaß qßuiheb ut incßaß queßtzßakloc chixcamsinquil chixjunileb li xul li queßxqßue chokß xcßatbil mayej. Joßcan nak eb laj levita queßxtenkßaheb toj retal queßxchoy li cßanjel ut toj nak chixjunileb laj tij queßxsantobresi ribeb. (Eb laj levita, aßaneb li kßaxal queßxqßue xchßôleb chixsantobresinquil ribeb chiruheb laj tij.)
35Also the burnt offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace offerings, and with the drink offerings for every burnt offering. So the service of the house of Yahweh was set in order.
35Joßcan ut nak cuan nabal li mayej joß ajcuiß lix xêbul li cßatbil mayej re xcßambaleb rib saß usilal riqßuin li Dios. Ut cuan ajcuiß li vino li queßxqßue rochben li cßatbil mayej. Joßcaßin nak queßxtiquib cuißchic xlokßoninquil li Kâcuaß saß lix templo.Li rey Ezequías ut chixjunileb li tenamit queßsahoß saß xchßôleb xban nak li Kâcuaß quixtenkßaheb chixbânunquil li cßanjel aßin saß junpât.
36Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, because of that which God had prepared for the people: for the thing was done suddenly.
36Li rey Ezequías ut chixjunileb li tenamit queßsahoß saß xchßôleb xban nak li Kâcuaß quixtenkßaheb chixbânunquil li cßanjel aßin saß junpât.
