1

Nish tra va shoh ooilley harrish, hie ooilley Israel va kionfenish magh trooid ard-valjyn Yudah, as vrish ad ny jallooyn ayns peeshyn, as yiare ad sheese ny keylljyn, as lhieg ad ny ard-ynnydyn as ny altaryn trooid ooilley Judah as Benjamin, ayns Ephraim myrgeddin as Manasseh, derrey v'ad dy bollagh er stroie ad ooilley. Eisht hyndaa ooilley cloan Israel reesht dagh dooinney gys e chummal, ayns e ard-valjyn hene.

Now when all this was finished, all Israel that were present went out to the cities of Judah, and brake the images in pieces, and cut down the groves, and threw down the high places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim also and Manasseh, until they had utterly destroyed them all. Then all the children of Israel returned, every man to his possession, into their own cities.

2

As doardee Hezekiah currym ny saggyrtyn as ny Leviteyn, lurg nyn goorseyn, dagh dooinney cordail rish e hirveish, ny saggyrtyn as ny Leviteyn son ourallyn losht, as son ourallyn-shee, dy hirveish, as dy choyrt booise, as dy choyrt moylley ayns giattyn cooyrtyn y Chiarn.

And Hezekiah appointed the courses of the priests and the Levites after their courses, every man according to his service, the priests and Levites for burnt offerings and for peace offerings, to minister, and to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the tents of the Lord.

3

Phoint eh myrgeddin yn ayrn va'n ree dy choyrt jeh e chooid hene, son ny ourallyn-losht, ta shen, son ny ourallyn losht moghrey as fastyr, as ourallyn-losht y doonaght, as er yn eayst-noa, as er ny feaillaghyn elley, myr te scruit ayns leigh'n Chiarn.

He appointed also the king's portion of his substance for the burnt offerings, to wit, for the morning and evening burnt offerings, and the burnt offerings for the sabbaths, and for the new moons, and for the set feasts, as it is written in the law of the Lord.

4

Marish shoh, doardee eh da cummaltee Yerusalem, dy choyrt da ny saggyrtyn, as ny Leviteyn nyn gair, dy niartaghey ad ayns shirveish y Chiarn.

Moreover he commanded the people that dwelt in Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might be encouraged in the law of the Lord.

5

As cha leah's haink y sarey magh, hug cloan Israel lhieu ayns palchey ny chied-vessyn jeh'n arroo, feeyn, ooil, as mill, as jeh ooilley mess y vagher, as y jaghee jeh dy chooilley nhee hug ad lhieu stiagh ayns palchey

And as soon as the commandment came abroad, the children of Israel brought in abundance the firstfruits of corn, wine, and oil, and honey, and of all the increase of the field; and the tithe of all things brought they in abundantly.

6

As cloan Israel as Yudah, va cummal ayns ard-valjyn Yudah, hug adsyn myrgeddin lhieu stiagh yn jaghee dy ghew as kirree, as jaghee yn chooid, v'er ny chasherickey da'n Chiarn nyn Yee, as ren ad stoyr jeu.

And concerning the children of Israel and Judah, that dwelt in the cities of Judah, they also brought in the tithe of oxen and sheep, and the tithe of holy things which were consecrated unto the Lord their God, and laid them by heaps.

7

Sy trass vee ren ad toshiaght dy ghoaill stiagh ny stoyryn, as va ooilley sthie oc 'sy chiaghtoo vee.

In the third month they began to lay the foundation of the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month.

8

As tra haink Hezekiah as ny princeyn, as honnick ad ny tashtaghyn, vannee ad y Chiarn as e phobble Israel.

And when Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed the Lord, and his people Israel.

9

Eisht ren Hezekiah briaght jeh ny saggyrtyn as ny Leviteyn, mychione ny tashtaghyn.

Then Hezekiah questioned with the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps.

10

As dreggyr Azariah ard-saggyrt thie Zadak eh as dooyrt eh, Er-dyn traa ren y pobble toshiaght dy chur lhieu ny ourallyn stiagh ayns thie yn Chiarn, ta dy liooar er ve ain son beaghey, as nyn saie fooilliagh: son ta'n Chiarn er vannaghey e phobble; as shen ny ta faagit, yn stoyr mooar shoh.

And Azariah the chief priest of the house of Zadok answered him, and said, Since the people began to bring the offerings into the house of the Lord, we have had enough to eat, and have left plenty: for the Lord hath blessed his people; and that which is left is this great store.

11

Eisht doardee Hezekiah dy chiartaghey shamyryn-stoyr ayns thie yn Chiarn, as hooar ad aarloo ad.

Then Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the house of the Lord; and they prepared them,

12

As hug ad lhieu stiagh ny ourallyn as ny jagheenyn, as y chooid chasherick ayns coontey kiart: yn currym oc va er Cononiah yn Levite, as er Shimei e vraar fo;

And brought in the offerings and the tithes and the dedicated things faithfully: over which Cononiah the Levite was ruler, and Shimei his brother was the next.

13

As va Jehiel, as Azaziah, as Nahath, as Asahel, as Jerimoth, as Jozabad, as Eliel as Ismachiah, as Mahath, as Benaiah, nyn stiurtyn fo Cononiah, as Shimei e vraar, lurg sarey Hezekiah yn ree, as Azariah ard-saggyrt thie Yee.

And Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath, and Asahel, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Ismachiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah, were overseers under the hand of Cononiah and Shimei his brother, at the commandment of Hezekiah the king, and Azariah the ruler of the house of God.

14

As va Kore mac Imnah yn Levite porter y yiat har, harrish ourallyn-arryltagh Yee, dy rheynn chebballyn y Chiarn, as ny reddyn smoo casherick.

And Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the porter toward the east, was over the freewill offerings of God, to distribute the oblations of the Lord, and the most holy things.

15

As by-niessey dasyn va Eden, as Benjamin, as Jeshua, as Shemaiah, Amariah, as Shecaniah, ayns ard-valjyn ny saggyrtyn, ayns nyn oik, dy hirveish er nyn mraaraghyn, myr va nyn goorse, chammah da shenn as aeg.

And next him were Eden, and Miniamin, and Jeshua, and Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, in their set office, to give to their brethren by courses, as well to the great as to the small:

16

Er-lhimmey jeh ny mec, veih three bleeaney d'eash as erskyn, eer da dagh unnane ta goll stiagh ayns thie yn Chiarn, e ayrn gagh laa son y chirveish oc ayns nyn gurrym, rere nyn goorseyn:

Beside their genealogy of males, from three years old and upward, even unto every one that entereth into the house of the Lord, his daily portion for their service in their charges according to their courses;

17

Chammah da sluight ny saggyrtyn, rere thie nyn ayraghyn, as da ny Leviteyn seose veih feed bleïn d'eash, ayns nyn gurmyn myr va nyn goorse cheet magh:

Both to the genealogy of the priests by the house of their fathers, and the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in their charges by their courses;

18

As da slane sheshaght nyn vooinjer veggey, nyn mraane, nyn mec, as nyn in. neenyn: son ren ny fir-oik nyn gurmyn y chooilleeney ayns ynrickys.

And to the genealogy of all their little ones, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, through all the congregation: for in their set office they sanctified themselves in holiness:

19

Myrgeddin jeh mee Aaron ny saggyrtyn va cummal ayns thalloo ny gleebyn mysh dagh ard-valley, va deiney enmyssit, dy hirveish nyn meaghey da ooilley mec ny saggyrtyn, as da ooilley ny va jeh kynney ny Leviteyn.

Also of the sons of Aaron the priests, which were in the fields of the suburbs of their cities, in every several city, the men that were expressed by name, to give portions to all the males among the priests, and to all that were reckoned by genealogies among the Levites.

20

As shoh myr ren Hezekiah trooid ooilley Judah: as ren eh shen ny va mie as cairagh, as ynrick fenish y Chiarn e Yee.

And thus did Hezekiah throughout all Judah, and wrought that which was good and right and truth before the Lord his God.

21

As ayns dy chooilley obbyr ghow eh laue dy yannoo ayns shirveish thie Yee, as cordail rish y leigh, as ny annaghyn, dy hirrey e Yee, shen ren eh lesh ooilley e chree, as haink eh lesh myrgeddin.

And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart, and prospered.
