29 ¹Hezekiya anakhala mfumu ali ndi zaka makumi awiri mphambu zisanu, nalamulira zaka makumi awiri mphambu zisanu ndi zinayi mu Yerusalemu. Amayi ake anali Abiya, mwana wamkazi wa Zekariya. ²Anachita zoyenera pamaso pa Atate wathu, monga momwe anachitira atate wake Davide. ³M'chaka choyamba cha ufumu wake, mwezi woyamba, anatsegula zitseko za nyumba ya Atate wathu, nazikonza. ⁴Anabweretsa ansembe ndi Alevi, nawasonkhanitsa pabwalo la kummawa. ⁵Anati kwa iwo, “Mverani ine, inu Alevi! Dziyeretseni nokha tsopano, ndipo yeretsani nyumba ya Atate wathu, Mulungu wa makolo anu, ndipo chotsani zonyansa m'Malo Opatulika. ⁶Makolo athu sanali okhulupirika, nachita zoyipa pamaso pa Atate wathu; anamsiya Iye, natembenuza nkhope zawo kuchoka pa malo okhala Atate wathu, natembenuza misana yawo. ⁷Anatsekanso zitseko za chipinda cholowera, nazimitsa nyale, ndipo sanafukize lubani kapena kupereka nsembe zopsereza m'malo opatulika kwa Atate wathu, Mulungu wa Israeli. ⁸Choncho mkwiyo wa Atate wathu unagwera Yuda ndi Yerusalemu, nawasandutsa chinthu chochititsa mantha, chothetsa nzeru, ndi chonyozeka, monga mukuona ndi maso anu. ⁹Pakuti makolo athu anagwa ndi lupanga; ana athu aamuna, ana athu aakazi, ndi akazi athu ali mu ukapolo chifukwa cha ichi. ¹⁰Tsopano ndatsimikiza kuchita pangano ndi Atate wathu, Mulungu wa Israeli, kuti mkwiyo wake woopsa uchoke pa ife. ¹¹Ana anga, musakhale aulesi tsopano—pakuti Atate wathu anakusankhani kuti muimirire pamaso pake, mumutumikire, mukhale atumiki ake, ndi kufukiza lubani.”

¹²Ndipo Alevi anaimirira: a banja la Kohati—Mahati mwana wa Amasai, ndi Yoweli mwana wa Azariya; a banja la Merari—Kisi mwana wa Abidi, ndi Azariya mwana wa Yehaleleli; a banja la Geresoni—Yowa mwana wa Zima, ndi Edeni mwana wa Yowa; ¹³a ana a Elizafani, Simiri ndi Yeiyeli; a ana a Asafu, Zekariya ndi Mataniya; ¹⁴a ana a Hemani, Yehieli ndi Simei; ndi a ana a Yedutuni, Semaya ndi Uzieli. ¹⁵Anasonkhanitsa abale awo, nadziyeretsa, napita kukayeretsa nyumba ya Atate wathu, monga mfumu inalamulira potsata mau a Atate wathu. ¹⁶Ansembe analowa m'nyumba ya mkati ya Atate wathu kukayeretsa, nachotsa zonyansa zonse zimene anazipeza m'kachisi wa Atate wathu, nazitulutsira kubwalo. Ndipo Alevi anazinyamula kuzipititsa ku mtsinje wa Kidironi. ¹⁷Anayamba kuyeretsa tsiku loyamba la mwezi woyamba; ndipo pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chitatu la mwezi umenewo, anafika ku chipinda cholowera cha Atate wathu. Anayeretsa nyumba ya Atate wathu masiku asanu ndi atatu, nathetsa pa tsiku la khumi ndi chisanu ndi chimodzi la mwezi woyamba. ¹⁸Ndipo analowa kwa mfumu Hezekiya, nati, “Tayeretsa nyumba yonse ya Atate wathu—guwa la nsembe zopsereza ndi ziwiya zake zonse, ndi tebulo la Buledi wa Pamaso ndi ziwiya zake zonse. ^a a v18 Buledi wa Pamaso: mitanda ya buledi khumi ndi iwiri imene inkasungidwa pa tebulo lapadera m'Malo Opatulika monga nsembe yosalekeza pamaso pa Mulungu. ¹⁹Ndipo ziwiya zonse zimene mfumu Ahazi anazitaya pa nthawi ya ufumu wake wosakhulupirika, ife tazikonza ndi kuziyeretsa—zaima pamaso pa guwa la nsembe la Atate wathu.”

Kupembedza Kwabwerera ku Nyumba ya Atate

²⁰Ndipo mfumu Hezekiya anadzuka m'mamawa, nasonkhanitsa akuluakulu a mzinda, nakwera kunyumba ya Atate wathu. ²¹Anabweretsa ng'ombe zamphongo zisanu ndi ziwiri, nkhosa zazimuna zisanu ndi ziwiri, ana ankhosa asanu ndi awiri, mbuzi zazimuna zisanu ndi ziwiri monga nsembe yamachimo ya ufumu, ya malo opatulika, ndi ya Yuda, ndipo analamula ana a Aroni, ansembe, kuti azipereke pa guwa la nsembe la Atate wathu. ²²Anapha ng'ombe zamphongo; ndipo ansembe anatenga mwazi, nawuwaza pa guwa la nsembe. Anapha nkhosa zazimuna, nawaza mwazi pa guwa la nsembe, ndipo anapha ana ankhosa, nawaza mwazi pa guwa la nsembe. ²³Anabweretsa mbuzi za nsembe yamachimo pamaso pa mfumu ndi msonkhano, nasanjika manja awo pa izo. ²⁴Ndipo ansembe anazipha, napereka nsembe yamachimo ndi mwazi wawo pa guwa la nsembe kuphimba machimo a Israeli yense, chifukwa mfumu inalamula kuti nsembe zopsereza ndi nsembe yamachimo zikhale za Israeli yense.

²⁵Anaika Alevi m'nyumba ya Atate wathu ndi ziwaya, azeze, ndi apangwe, monga Davide, Gadi mlosi wa mfumu, ndi Natani mneneri analamulira—pakuti lamulo linachokera kwa Atate wathu kudzera mwa aneneri ake. ²⁶Ndipo Alevi anaimirira ndi ziwaya za Davide, ndi ansembe ndi malipenga. ²⁷Hezekiya analamula kuti apereke nsembe yopsereza pa guwa la nsembe; ndipo pamene inayamba, nyimbo ya Atate wathu inayambanso, pamodzi ndi malipenga ndi ziwaya za Davide, mfumu ya Israeli. ²⁸Ndipo msonkhano wonse unawerama, oimba anaimba, oliza malipenga analiza, kufikira nsembe yopsereza itatha.

²⁹Pamene kupereka nsembe kunatha, mfumu ndi onse amene anali nawo anawerama, napembedza. ³⁰Ndipo mfumu Hezekiya ndi akuluakulu analamula Alevi kuti atamande Atate wathu ndi mau a Davide ndi a Asafu mlosi. Iwo anaimba mokondwa, nawerama pansi, napembedza.

³¹Ndipo Hezekiya anati, “Tsopano mwadziyeretsa nokha kwa Atate wathu. Sondezani pafupi, bweretsani nsembe ndi nsembe zachiyamiko ku nyumba ya Atate wathu.” Choncho msonkhano unabweretsa nsembe ndi nsembe zachiyamiko; ndipo onse a mtima wofuna anabweretsa nsembe zopsereza. ³²Msonkhano unabweretsa ng'ombe zamphongo makumi asanu ndi awiri, nkhosa zazimuna zana limodzi, ana ankhosa mazana awiri—zonse monga nsembe yopsereza kwa Atate wathu. ³³Ndipo nsembe zopatulidwa zinali ng'ombe zamphongo mazana asanu ndi limodzi ndi nkhosa zikwi zitatu. ³⁴Koma ansembe anali ochepa kwambiri kuti asende nsembe zopsereza zonse, choncho abale awo Alevi anawathandiza kufikira ntchito itatha ndi kufikira ansembe atadziyeretsa; pakuti Alevi anali a mtima woona pa kudziyeretsa kuposa ansembe. ³⁵Kuwonjezera pa nsembe zopsereza zambiri, panali mafuta a nsembe zachiyanjano ndi nsembe zakumwa zamenezo. Choncho ntchito ya nyumba ya Atate wathu inabwezeretsedwa. ³⁶Ndipo Hezekiya ndi anthu onse anakondwa chifukwa cha zimene Atate wathu anawakonzera, popeza zinachitika mwadzidzidzi.
