Hezekia wakatanga kubata ushe asvika makore makumi maviri namashanu; akabata ushe paJerusaremu makore makumi maviri namapfumbamwe, zita ramai vake rakanga riri Abhija mukunda waZekariya.Hezekiah began to reign when he was five and twenty years old, and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.
Akaita zvakarurama pamberi paJehovha sezvose zvakaita baba vake Dhavhidhi.And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that David his father had done.
Pagore rokutanga rokubata kwake ushe, nomwedzi wokutanga, akazarura mikova yeimba yaJehovha, akaigadzira.He in the first year of his reign, in the first month, opened the doors of the house of the LORD, and repaired them.
Akapinza vapirisiti navaRevhi, akavaunganidza padare pamabvazuva,And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them together into the east street,
akati kwavari, Chindinzwai, imi vaRevhi; chizvinatsai zvino, munatsewo imba yaJehovha Mwari wamadzibaba enyu; mutakurire kunze tsvina yose iri munzvimbo tsvene.And said unto them, Hear me, ye Levites, sanctify now yourselves, and sanctify the house of the LORD God of your fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the holy place.
Nokuti madzibaba edu akadarika, vakaita zvakaipa pamberi paJehovha Mwari wedu, vakamusiya, vakarega kutarira kuugaro hwaJehovha, ndokumufuratira.For our fathers have trespassed, and done that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of the LORD, and turned their backs.
Vakapfigawo mikova yebiravira, nokudzima mwenje; havana kupisira zvinonhuhwira, kana kubayira Mwari waIsiraeri zvipiriso zvinopiswa panzvimbo tsvene.Also 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 unto the God of Israel.
Saka Jehovha akatsamwira vaJudha neJerusaremu, akavaita chityiso nechishamiso, chinoridzirwa muridzo, sezvamunoona nameso enyu.Wherefore the wrath of the LORD was upon Judah and Jerusalem, and he hath delivered them to trouble, to astonishment, and to hissing, as ye see with your eyes.
Nokuti tarirai, madzibaba edu akaparadzwa nomunondo; vanakomana vedu navanasikana vedu navakadzi vedu vakatapwa nokuda kwaizvozvi.For, lo, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this.
Zvino moyo wangu unoda kuita sungano naJehovha Mwari waIsiraeri, kuti kutsamwa kwake kukuru kubviswe kwatiri.Now it is in mine heart to make a covenant with the LORD God of Israel, that his fierce wrath may turn away from us.
Vanakomana vangu, regai kuva vanhu vasine hanya zvino, nokuti Jehovha akakutsaurai kuti mumire pamberi pake, mumubatirei, nokuva vabatiri vake, nokumupisira zvinonhuwira.My sons, be not now negligent: for the LORD hath chosen you to stand before him, to serve him, and that ye should minister unto him, and burn incense.
Ipapo vaRevhi vakasimuka, Mahati mwanakomana waAmasai, naJoeri mwanakomana waAzaria pakati pavanakomana vavaKohati, napakati pavanakomana vaMerari, Kishi mwanakomana waAbhidhi, naAzaria mwanakomana waJeharereri; napakati pavaGerishoni, Joa mwanakomana waZimima, naEdheni mwanakomana waJoa;Then 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 Jehalelel: and of the Gershonites; Joah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joah:
napakati pavanakomana vaErizafani, Shimiri naJeueri; napakati pavanakomana vaAsafi, Zekariya naMatania;And of the sons of Elizaphan; Shimri, and Jeiel: and of the sons of Asaph; Zechariah, and Mattaniah:
napakati pavanakomana vaHemani, Jehueri naShimei; napakati pavanakomana vaJedhutuni, Shemaya naUzieri.And of the sons of Heman; Jehiel, and Shimei: and of the sons of Jeduthun; Shemaiah, and Uzziel.
Ivo vakaunganidza hama dzavo, vakazvinatsa, vakapinda sezvavakarairwa namambo namashoko aJehovha, kuti vanatse imba yaJehovha.And they gathered their brethren, and sanctified themselves, and came, according to the commandment of the king, by the words of the LORD, to cleanse the house of the LORD.
Vapirisiti vakapinda mukati meimba yaJehovha, kuti vainatse, vakabudisa marara ose avakawana mutemberi yaJehovha kuruvazhe rweimba yaJehovha. VaRevhi vakaatora, ndokuatakurira kunze kurukova Kidhironi.And the priests went into the inner part of the house of the LORD, to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of the LORD into the court of the house of the LORD. And the Levites took it, to carry it out abroad into the brook Kidron.
Vakatanga kunatsa nezuva rokutanga romwedzi wokutanga, vakasvika pabiravira raJehovha nezuva rorusere romwedzi; vakanatsa imba yaJehovha namazuva masere; vakapedzisa nezuva regumi namatanhatu romwedzi wokutanga.Now 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 the LORD: so they sanctified the house of the LORD in eight days; and in the sixteenth day of the first month they made an end.
Ipapo vakapinda kuna mambo Hezekia mukati meimba yamambo, vakati, Tanatsa imba yose yaJehovha, nearitari yezvipiriso zvinopiswa, nenhumbi dzayo dzose, netafura yezvingwa zvokuratidza, nenhumbi dzayo dzose.Then they went in to Hezekiah the king, and said, We have cleansed all the house of the LORD, and the altar of burnt offering, with all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread table, with all the vessels thereof.
Uye nhumbi dzose dzakarashwa namambo Ahazi pakudarika kwake nguva yaakabata ushe, tadzigadzira nokudzinatsa; tarirai, dziri pamberi pearitari yaJehovha.Moreover all the vessels, which king Ahaz in his reign did cast away in his transgression, have we prepared and sanctified, and, behold, they are before the altar of the LORD.
Zvino mambo Hezekia akamuka mangwanani, akaunganidza machinda eguta, akaenda kumba kwaJehovha.Then Hezekiah the king rose early, and gathered the rulers of the city, and went up to the house of the LORD.
Vakauya nenzombe nomwe, namakondobwe manomwe, namakwaiana manomwe, nenhongo dzembudzi nomwe, chive chipiriso chezvivi choushe neimba tsvene navaJudha. Akaraira vapirisiti ivo vanakomana vaAroni, kuti vazvibayire paaritari yaJehovha.And they brought seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven he goats, for a sin offering for the kingdom, and for the sanctuary, and for Judah. And he commanded the priests the sons of Aaron to offer them on the altar of the LORD.
Ipapo vakauraya nzombe, vapirisiti vakachinga ropa, ndokurisasa paaritari; vakauraya makondobwe, vakasasa ropa paaritari; vakaurayawo makwayana, vakasasa ropa paaritari.So they killed the bullocks, and the priests received the blood, and sprinkled it on the altar: likewise, when they had killed the rams, they sprinkled the blood upon the altar: they killed also the lambs, and they sprinkled the blood upon the altar.
Vakaswededzawo nhongo dzembudzi, chive chipiriso chezvivi pamberi pamambo neungano, vakaisa maoko avo pamusoro padzo;And they brought forth the he goats for the sin offering before the king and the congregation; and they laid their hands upon them:
vapirisiti vakadziuraya, vakaita chipiriso chezvivi neropa radzo paaritari, kuti vayananisire valsiraeri vose, nokuti mambo akaraira kuti vaIsiraeri vose vapisirwe chipiriso chinopiswa nechipiriso chezvivi.And the priests killed them, and they made reconciliation with their blood upon the altar, to make an atonement for all Israel: for the king commanded that the burnt offering and the sin offering should be made for all Israel.
Akaisa vaRevhi mumba maJehovha, vana makandira, nemitengerangwa, nembira, sezvavakarairwa naDhavhidhi, uye nomuoni wamambo Gadhi, uye nomuporofita Natania; nokuti akanga ari Jehovha akaraira navaporofita vake.And he set the Levites in the house of the LORD with cymbals, with psalteries, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, and of Gad the king’s seer, and Nathan the prophet: for so was the commandment of the LORD by his prophets.
VaRevhi vakamira nezvokuridza zvaDhavhidhi, navapirisiti vane hwamanda.And the Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.
Hezekia akaraira kuti vabayire chipiriso chinopiswa paaritari. Zvino chipiriso chinopiswa chakati chichitanga kupiswa, rwiyo rwaJehovha ndokutangawo, uye hwamanda pamwechete nezvokuridza zvaDhavhidhi mambo waIsiraeri.And Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt offering upon the altar. And when the burnt offering began, the song of the LORD began also with the trumpets, and with the instruments ordained by David king of Israel.
Ungano yose ndokunamata, vaimbi vakaimba, navaridzi vehwamanda vakaridza; izvozvi zvose zvikaramba zvichiitwa kusvikira chipiriso chinopiswa chapera.And all the congregation worshipped, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded: and all this continued until the burnt offering was finished.
Zvino vakati vapedza kupisira, mambo navose vakanga varipo naye vakakotamira pasi, vakanamata.And when they had made an end of offering, the king and all that were present with him bowed themselves, and worshipped.
Mambo Hezekia namachinda vakarairawo vaRevhi kuimbira Jehovha vachimukudza namashoko aDhavhidhi nomuoni Asafi. Vakaimba nziyo dzokukudza nomufaro, vakakotamisa misoro yavo vakanamata.Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praise unto the LORD with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshipped.
Ipapo Hezekia akapindura, akati, Zvino zvamazvitsaurira Jehovha, swederai muuye nezvibayiro nezvipiriso zvokuvonga nazvo mumba maJehovha. Ungano ndokuuya nezvibayiro nezvipiriso zvokuvonga; vose, vakanga vanomoyo unoda, vakauya nezvipiriso zvinopiswa.Then Hezekiah answered and said, Now ye have consecrated yourselves unto the LORD, come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into the house of the LORD. And the congregation brought in sacrifices and thank offerings; and as many as were of a free heart burnt offerings.
Zvipiriso zvinopiswa, zvakauyiswa neungano, zvakasvika nzombe dzina makumi manomwe namakondobwe ane zana, namakwayana ana mazana maviri pakuwanda kwazvo; izvi zvose chakanga chiri chipiriso chokupisira Jehovha.And the number of the burnt offerings, which the congregation brought, was threescore and ten bullocks, an hundred rams, and two hundred lambs: all these were for a burnt offering to the LORD.
Zvinhu zvakatsaurirwa Jehovha zvakasvika nzombe dzina mazana matanhatu, namakwai ane zviuru zvitatu.And the consecrated things were six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep.
Asi vapirisiti vakanga vasingaringani, vakakoniwa kuvhiya zvipiriso zvose zvinopiswa, saka vaRevhi hama dzavo, vakavabatsira, kusvikira basa rapera, uye kusvikira vapirisiti vazvinatsa; nokuti moyo yavaRevhi yakanga yakarurama pakuzvinatsa kupfuura vapirisiti.But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all the burnt offerings: wherefore their brethren the Levites did help them, till the work was ended, and until the other priests had sanctified themselves: for the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests.
Zvipiriso zvinopiswa zvakanga zvakawandawo kwazvo, namafuta ezvipiriso zvokuyananisa, nezvipiriso zvaidururwa zvechipiriso chimwe nechimwe chaipiswa. Naizvozvo basa reimba yaJehovha rakagadzirwa.And also the burnt offerings were in abundance,with the fat of the peace offerings, and the drink offerings for every burnt offering. So the service of the house of the LORD was set in order.
Ipapo Hezekia akafara, navanhu vose, nokuda kwezvose zvakanga zvagadzirirwa vanhu naMwari; nokuti chinhu ichi chakaitwa nokuchimbidzika.And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, that God had prepared the people: for the thing was done suddenly.
