31 ¹Pamene zimenezi zinatha, Aisraeli onse amene analipo anapita ku mizinda ya Yuda, naphwanya zipilala zopatulika, nadula mitengo ya Asera, nagwetsa malo achipembedzo ndi maguwa ansembe mu Yuda monse, ndi mu Benjamini, Efraimu, ndi Manase, nawononga zonsezi kotheratu. Ndipo Aisraeli onse anabwerera ku mizinda yawo, aliyense ku chuma chake.

²Ndipo Hezekiya anaika ansembe ndi Alevi m'magulu awo, aliyense monga mwa utumiki wake, ansembe ndi Alevi momwemo, pa nsembe zopsereza ndi nsembe zachiyanjano, kuti atumikire, nayamike, nalemekeze pa zipata za misasa ya Atate wathu.

³Mfumu inapereka kuchokera pa chuma chake pa nsembe zopsereza, nsembe zopsereza za m'mawa ndi za madzulo, ndi za Masabata, mwezi watsopano, ndi zikondwerero zoikika, monga mmene zinalembedwa mu lamulo la Atate wathu. ⁴Iye anauza anthu okhala mu Yerusalemu kuti apereke gawo la ansembe ndi Alevi, kuti adzipereke kwathunthu ku lamulo la Atate wathu. ⁵Lamulo litangofalikira, Aisraeli anapereka mochuluka zipatso zoyamba za tirigu, vinyo watsopano, mafuta, uchi, ndi zokolola zonse za m'munda, nabweretsa chakhumi cha zonse mochuluka. ⁶Aisraeli ndi anthu a ku Yuda amene anakhala mu mizinda ya Yuda nawonso anabweretsa chakhumi cha ng'ombe ndi nkhosa, ndi chakhumi cha zinthu zopatulidwa kwa Atate wathu, nazunjika milu.

⁷Anayamba kuunjika miluyo mu mwezi wachitatu, namaliza mu mwezi wachisanu ndi chiwiri. ^a a v7 Mwezi wachitatu umagwera kumapeto kwa Meyi mpaka Juni; mwezi wachisanu ndi chiwiri umagwera mu Seputembala mpaka Okutobala — pafupifupi miyezi inayi ya kupereka. ⁸Hezekiya ndi akuluakulu anadza, naona miluyo, nadalitsa Atate wathu ndi anthu ake Aisraeli. ⁹Hezekiya anafunsa ansembe ndi Alevi za miluyo. ¹⁰Azariya mkulu wa ansembe, wa nyumba ya Zadoki, anayankha nati kwa iye, “Kuyambira pamene anthu anayamba kubweretsa zopereka mu nyumba ya Atate wathu, tadya bwino ndipo zambiri zatsala, pakuti Atate wathu wadalitsa anthu ake, nasiya zotsalira zambiri izi.”

¹¹Ndipo Hezekiya anawalamula kuti akonze zipinda zosungira mu nyumba ya Atate wathu, ndipo iwo anazikonza. ¹²Iwo anabweretsa mokhulupirika zopereka, chakhumi, ndi mphatso zopatulidwa. Konaniya Mlevi anawatsogolera; Simei m'bale wake anali wachiwiri. ¹³Yehieli, Azaziya, Nahati, Asaheli, Yerimoti, Yozabadi, Elieli, Isimakiya, Mahati, ndi Benaya anali oyang'anira, pansi pa Konaniya ndi m'bale wake Simei, oikidwa ndi mfumu Hezekiya ndi Azariya, mkulu woyang'anira nyumba ya Atate wathu. ¹⁴Kore mwana wa Imuna, Mlevi mlonda wa pa chipata choyang'ana kummawa, anali woyang'anira zopereka zaufulu kwa Atate wathu, kugawa zopereka za Atate wathu ndi mphatso zoyera koposa. ¹⁵Pansi pa iye, Edeni, Miniamini, Yesua, Semaya, Amariya, ndi Sekaniya anatumikira mokhulupirika mu mizinda ya ansembe, kugawira ansembe anzawo monga mwa magulu awo, wamkulu ndi wamng'ono momwemo, ¹⁶kuwonjezera pa kupatsa iwo olembedwa mwa mibadwo yawo, amuna a zaka zitatu kapena kuposera—onse olowa mu nyumba ya Atate wathu pa ntchito ya tsiku ndi tsiku—monga mwa utumiki wawo mwa udindo ndi gulu. ¹⁷Ansembe analembedwa monga mwa mabanja awo; Alevi a zaka makumi awiri kapena kuposera, monga mwa ntchito ndi magulu awo. ¹⁸Analembedwa pamodzi ndi ana awo onse, akazi awo, ana aamuna, ndi ana aakazi—gulu lonse—pakuti anadzipereka okha mokhulupirika mu chiyero. ¹⁹Kwa zidzukulu za Aroni, ansembe amene anakhala m'minda yodyetsa ziweto yozungulira mizinda yawo, anatchulidwa amuna mu mzinda uliwonse kuti apatse magawo kwa mwamuna aliyense wa ansembe ndi kwa Alevi onse olembedwa mwa mibadwo yawo.

²⁰Hezekiya anachita zimenezi mu Yuda monse. Anachita zabwino, zolungama, ndi zokhulupirika pamaso pa Atate wathu. ²¹Mu zonse anayamba—kutumikira nyumba ya Atate wathu, kusunga lamulo ndi langizo, kufunafuna Atate wathu—anapereka mtima wake wonse, ndipo anaphuka.
