2 Chronicles 29-31 New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) Reign of Hezekiah 29 Hezekiah began to reign when he was twenty-five years old; he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Abijah daughter of Zechariah. 2 He did what was right in the sight of the Lord, just as his ancestor David had done. The Temple Cleansed 3 In the first year of his reign, in the first month, he opened the doors of the house of the Lord and repaired them. 4 He brought in the priests and the Levites and assembled them in the square on the east. 5 He said to them, “Listen to me, Levites! Sanctify yourselves, and sanctify the house of the Lord, the God of your ancestors, and carry out the filth from the holy place. 6 For our ancestors have been unfaithful and have done what was evil in the sight of the Lord our God; they have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the dwelling of the Lord, and turned their backs. 7 They also shut the doors of the vestibule and put out the lamps, and have not offered incense or made burnt offerings in the holy place to the God of Israel. 8 Therefore the wrath of the Lord came upon Judah and Jerusalem, and he has made them an object of horror, of astonishment, and of hissing, as you see with your own eyes. 9 Our fathers have fallen by the sword and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this. 10 Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with the Lord, the God of Israel, so that his fierce anger may turn away from us. 11 My sons, do not now be negligent, for the Lord has chosen you to stand in his presence to minister to him, and to be his ministers and make offerings to him.” 12 Then the Levites arose, Mahath son of Amasai, and Joel son of Azariah, of the sons of the Kohathites; and of the sons of Merari, Kish son of Abdi, and Azariah son of Jehallelel; and of the Gershonites, Joah son of Zimmah, and Eden son of Joah; 13 and of the sons of Elizaphan, Shimri and Jeuel; and of the sons of Asaph, Zechariah and Mattaniah; 14 and of the sons of Heman, Jehuel and Shimei; and of the sons of Jeduthun, Shemaiah and Uzziel. 15 They gathered their brothers, sanctified themselves, and went in as the king had commanded, by the words of the Lord, to cleanse the house of the Lord. 16 The priests went into the inner part of the house of the Lord to cleanse it, and they brought out all the unclean things that they found in the temple of the Lord into the court of the house of the Lord; and the Levites took them and carried them out to the Wadi Kidron. 17 They began to sanctify on the first day of the first month, and on the eighth day of the month they came to the vestibule of the Lord; then for eight days they sanctified the house of the Lord, and on the sixteenth day of the first month they finished. 18 Then they went inside to King Hezekiah and said, “We have cleansed all the house of the Lord, the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and the table for the rows of bread and all its utensils. 19 All the utensils that King Ahaz repudiated during his reign when he was faithless, we have made ready and sanctified; see, they are in front of the altar of the Lord.” Temple Worship Restored 20 Then King Hezekiah rose early, assembled the officials of the city, and went up to the house of the Lord. 21 They brought seven bulls, seven rams, 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 descendants of Aaron to offer them on the altar of the Lord. 22 So they slaughtered the bulls, and the priests received the blood and dashed it against the altar; they slaughtered the rams and their blood was dashed against the altar; they also slaughtered the lambs and their blood was dashed against the altar. 23 Then the male goats for the sin offering were brought to the king and the assembly; they laid their hands on them, 24 and the priests slaughtered them and made a sin offering with their blood at 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. 25 He stationed the Levites in the house of the Lord with cymbals, harps, and lyres, according to the commandment of David and of Gad the king’s seer and of the prophet Nathan, for the commandment was from the Lord through his prophets. 26 The Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets. 27 Then Hezekiah commanded that the burnt offering be offered on the altar. When the burnt offering began, the song to the Lord began also, and the trumpets, accompanied by the instruments of King David of Israel. 28 The whole assembly worshiped, the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded; all this continued until the burnt offering was finished. 29 When the offering was finished, the king and all who were present with him bowed down and worshiped. 30 King Hezekiah and the officials commanded the Levites to sing praises to the Lord with the words of David and of the seer Asaph. They sang praises with gladness, and they bowed down and worshiped. 31 Then Hezekiah said, “You have now consecrated yourselves to the Lord; come near, bring sacrifices and thank offerings to the house of the Lord.” The assembly brought sacrifices and thank offerings; and all who were of a willing heart brought burnt offerings. 32 The number of the burnt offerings that the assembly brought was seventy bulls, one hundred rams, and two hundred lambs; all these were for a burnt offering to the Lord. 33 The consecrated offerings were six hundred bulls and three thousand sheep. 34 But the priests were too few and could not skin all the burnt offerings, so, until other priests had sanctified themselves, their kindred, the Levites, helped them until the work was finished—for the Levites were more conscientious than the priests in sanctifying themselves. 35 Besides the great number of burnt offerings there was the fat of the offerings of well-being, and there were the drink offerings for the burnt offerings. Thus the service of the house of the Lord was restored. 36 And Hezekiah and all the people rejoiced because of what God had done for the people; for the thing had come about suddenly. The Great Passover 30 Hezekiah sent word to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, to keep the passover to the Lord the God of Israel. 2 For the king and his officials and all the assembly in Jerusalem had taken counsel to keep the passover in the second month 3 (for they could not keep it at its proper time because the priests had not sanctified themselves in sufficient number, nor had the people assembled in Jerusalem). 4 The plan seemed right to the king and all the assembly. 5 So they decreed to make a proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beer-sheba to Dan, that the people should come and keep the passover to the Lord the God of Israel, at Jerusalem; for they had not kept it in great numbers as prescribed. 6 So couriers went throughout all Israel and Judah with letters from the king and his officials, as the king had commanded, saying, “O people of Israel, return to the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, so that he may turn again to the remnant of you who have escaped from the hand of the kings of Assyria. 7 Do not be like your ancestors and your kindred, who were faithless to the Lord God of their ancestors, so that he made them a desolation, as you see. 8 Do not now be stiff-necked as your ancestors were, but yield yourselves to the Lord and come to his sanctuary, which he has sanctified forever, and serve the Lord your God, so that his fierce anger may turn away from you. 9 For as you return to the Lord, your kindred and your children will find compassion with their captors, and return to this land. For the Lord your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if you return to him.” 10 So the couriers went from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh, and as far as Zebulun; but they laughed them to scorn, and mocked them. 11 Only a few from Asher, Manasseh, and Zebulun humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem. 12 The hand of God was also on Judah to give them one heart to do what the king and the officials commanded by the word of the Lord. 13 Many people came together in Jerusalem to keep the festival of unleavened bread in the second month, a very large assembly. 14 They set to work and removed the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all the altars for offering incense they took away and threw into the Wadi Kidron. 15 They slaughtered the passover lamb on the fourteenth day of the second month. The priests and the Levites were ashamed, and they sanctified themselves and brought burnt offerings into the house of the Lord. 16 They took their accustomed posts according to the law of Moses the man of God; the priests dashed the blood that they received from the hands of the Levites. 17 For there were many in the assembly who had not sanctified themselves; therefore the Levites had to slaughter the passover lamb for everyone who was not clean, to make it holy to the Lord. 18 For a multitude of the people, many of them from Ephraim, Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet they ate the passover otherwise than as prescribed. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, “The good Lord pardon all 19 who set their hearts to seek God, the Lord the God of their ancestors, even though not in accordance with the sanctuary’s rules of cleanness.” 20 The Lord heard Hezekiah, and healed the people. 21 The people of Israel who were present at Jerusalem kept the festival of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness; and the Levites and the priests praised the Lord day by day, accompanied by loud instruments for the Lord. 22 Hezekiah spoke encouragingly to all the Levites who showed good skill in the service of the Lord. So the people ate the food of the festival for seven days, sacrificing offerings of well-being and giving thanks to the Lord the God of their ancestors. 23 Then the whole assembly agreed together to keep the festival for another seven days; so they kept it for another seven days with gladness. 24 For King Hezekiah of Judah gave the assembly a thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep for offerings, and the officials gave the assembly a thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep. The priests sanctified themselves in great numbers. 25 The whole assembly of Judah, the priests and the Levites, and the whole assembly that came out of Israel, and the resident aliens who came out of the land of Israel, and the resident aliens who lived in Judah, rejoiced. 26 There was great joy in Jerusalem, for since the time of Solomon son of King David of Israel there had been nothing like this in Jerusalem. 27 Then the priests and the Levites stood up and blessed the people, and their voice was heard; their prayer came to his holy dwelling in heaven. Pagan Shrines Destroyed 31 Now when all this was finished, all Israel who were present went out to the cities of Judah and broke down the pillars, hewed down the sacred poles, and pulled down the high places and the altars throughout all Judah and Benjamin, and in Ephraim and Manasseh, until they had destroyed them all. Then all the people of Israel returned to their cities, all to their individual properties. 2 Hezekiah appointed the divisions of the priests and of the Levites, division by division, everyone according to his service, the priests and the Levites, for burnt offerings and offerings of well-being, to minister in the gates of the camp of the Lord and to give thanks and praise. 3 The contribution of the king from his own possessions was for the burnt offerings: the burnt offerings of morning and evening, and the burnt offerings for the sabbaths, the new moons, and the appointed festivals, as it is written in the law of the Lord. 4 He commanded the people who lived in Jerusalem to give the portion due to the priests and the Levites, so that they might devote themselves to the law of the Lord. 5 As soon as the word spread, the people of Israel gave in abundance the first fruits of grain, wine, oil, honey, and of all the produce of the field; and they brought in abundantly the tithe of everything. 6 The people of Israel and Judah who lived in the cities of Judah also brought in the tithe of cattle and sheep, and the tithe of the dedicated things that had been consecrated to the Lord their God, and laid them in heaps. 7 In the third month they began to pile up the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month. 8 When Hezekiah and the officials came and saw the heaps, they blessed the Lord and his people Israel. 9 Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites about the heaps. 10 The chief priest Azariah, who was of the house of Zadok, answered him, “Since they began to bring the contributions into the house of the Lord, we have had enough to eat and have plenty to spare; for the Lord has blessed his people, so that we have this great supply left over.” Reorganization of Priests and Levites 11 Then Hezekiah commanded them to prepare store-chambers in the house of the Lord; and they prepared them. 12 Faithfully they brought in the contributions, the tithes and the dedicated things. The chief officer in charge of them was Conaniah the Levite, with his brother Shimei as second; 13 while Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismachiah, Mahath, and Benaiah were overseers assisting Conaniah and his brother Shimei, by the appointment of King Hezekiah and of Azariah the chief officer of the house of God. 14 Kore son of Imnah the Levite, keeper of the east gate, was in charge of the freewill offerings to God, to apportion the contribution reserved for the Lord and the most holy offerings. 15 Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah were faithfully assisting him in the cities of the priests, to distribute the portions to their kindred, old and young alike, by divisions, 16 except those enrolled by genealogy, males from three years old and upwards, all who entered the house of the Lord as the duty of each day required, for their service according to their offices, by their divisions. 17 The enrollment of the priests was according to their ancestral houses; that of the Levites from twenty years old and upwards was according to their offices, by their divisions. 18 The priests were enrolled with all their little children, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, the whole multitude; for they were faithful in keeping themselves holy. 19 And for the descendants of Aaron, the priests, who were in the fields of common land belonging to their towns, town by town, the people designated by name were to distribute portions to every male among the priests and to everyone among the Levites who was enrolled. 20 Hezekiah did this throughout all Judah; he did what was good and right and faithful before the Lord his God. 21 And every work that he undertook in the service of the house of God, and in accordance with the law and the commandments, to seek his God, he did with all his heart; and he prospered.

2 इतिहास 29Nepali Bible: Easy-to-Read Version (ERV-NE) हिजकियाह यहूदाका राजा 29 हिजकियाह जब पच्चीस बर्ष पुगे तब तिनी राजा भए। तिनले यरूशलेममा उनन्तीस बर्षसम्म राज गरे। तिनकी आमाको नाउँ अबियाह थियो। अबियाह जकर्याहकी छोरी थिइन्। 2 हिजकियाहले परमप्रभुले तिनीद्वारा गर्न चाहनु भएका कुराहरू गरे तिनले आफ्ना पुर्खा दाऊदले गरेका जस्तै सही कार्य गरे। 3 हिजकियाहले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरका ढोकाहरू लगाइ दिए अनि तिनीहरूलाई दृढ बनाए। हिजकियाहले मन्दिर फेरि खुल्ला गरि दिए। तिनले यो काम आफू राजा भएको पहिलो बर्षको पहिलो महीनामा गरे। 4-5 हिजकियाले पूजाहारीहरू अनि लेवीहरूलाई सभामा एक साथ गरे। तिनले तिनीहरूसित मन्दिरको पूर्व तफर्को खुल्ला आँगानमा सभा गरे। हिजकियाहले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “मेरो कुरा सुन, लेवीहरू। तिमीहरूले स्वयंलाई पवित्र सेवाको निम्ति तयार गर। परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको मन्दिरलाई पवित्र सेवाका निम्ति तयार पार, उहाँ तिमीहरूका पुर्खाहरूले आज्ञा पालन गर्ने परमेश्वर हुनु हुन्छ। मन्दिरबाट ती चीज-बीजहरू हटाइ देऊ जो त्यहाँको होइन। ती चीज बीजहरूले मन्दिरलाई शुद्ध तुल्याउँदैन। 6 हाम्रा पुर्खाहरूले परमप्रभुलाई त्याग गरे अनि आफ्ना अनुहार परमप्रभुको मन्दिरबाट टाढा फर्काए। 7 तिनीहरूले मन्दिरको दलानका ढोकाहरू थुनि दिए अनि दीपहरूमा बत्ती निभ्न दिए। तिनीहरूले इस्राएलका परमेश्वरलाई पवित्र स्थानमा धूप बाल्न अनि होमबलि चढाउन बन्द गरे। 8 यसर्थ परमप्रभु यहूदा अनि यरूशलेमका मानिसहरू प्रति अत्यन्त क्रोधित हुनु भयो। परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई दण्ड दिनु भयो। अरू मानिसहरू भयभीत भए अनि विचलित भए जब तिनीहरूले देखे परमप्रभुले यहूदा अनि यरूशलेमका मानिसहरूलाई के गरे। ती अन्य मानिसहरूले यहूदाका मानिसहरूका निम्ति घृणा अनि लाजले आफ्ना शिरहरू हल्लाए। तिमीहरू जान्दछौ, यी कुराहरू सत्य हुन्। तिमीहरू आफ्नै आँखाले देख्न सक्छौ। 9 अनि, त्यसै कारणले गर्दा हाम्रो पुर्खाहरू युद्धमा मारिए। हाम्रा छोरा अनि छोरीहरू अनि पत्नीहरूलाई कैदी बनाइए। 10 यसकारण अब म, हिजकियाहले इस्राएलका परमप्रभु परमेश्वर सित करार गर्ने निश्चय गरेको छु। तब उहाँ हामी सित अब उप्रान्त क्रोधित हुनहुने छैन। 11 यसकारण मेरो छोराहरू, अल्छे नबन वा अझ अधिक समय खेर नफाल। परमप्रभुले उहाँको सेवा गर्नका निम्ति तिमीहरूलाई चुन्नु भएको छ। उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई उहाँको मन्दिरमा सेवा गर्न अनि धूप बाल्नका निम्ति चुन्नु भएको छ।” 12-14 यो त्यहाँ भएका लेवीहरूको सूचीहो जसले काम गर्न शुरू गरेः कहातका परिवारबाट अमासैका छोरा महत अनि अजर्याहका छोरा योएल थिए। मरारीका परिवारबाट अब्दीका छोरा कीश अनि यहल्लेलका छोरा अजर्याह थिए। गेर्शोनका परिवारबाट जीम्माका छोरा योआह अनि योआहका छोरा एदेन थिए। एलीसापानका परिवारहरूबाट शिम्री अनि यूएल थिए। आसापका परिवारहरूबाट जकर्याह अनि मत्तन्याह थिए। हेमानका परिवारहरूबाट यहूएल अनि शिमी थिए। यदूतूनका परिवारहरूबाट शमायाह अनि उज्जीएल थिए। 15 तब, यी लेवीहरूले आफ्ना दाज्यू-भाइहरूलाई पनि तिनीहरू सित भेला गरे अनि स्वयंलाई पवित्र सेवाका निम्ति तयार पारे। तिनीहरूले राजाका आदेशको पालन गरे जो परमप्रभुबाट आएको थियो। तिनीहरूले यसलाई शुद्ध पार्नका निम्ति परमप्रभुको मन्दिर भित्र गए। 16 पूजाहारीहरू परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको भित्री भाग शुद्ध गर्न गए। तिनीहरूले भेट्टाएका सबै अशुद्ध चीज-बीजहरू निकाले। तिनीहरूले अशुद्ध चीज-बीजहरू परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको आँगनमा ल्याए। तब लेवीहरूले ती अशुद्ध चीज-बीजहरू बाहिर किद्रोन बेंसीमा लगे। 17 पहिलो महीनाको पहिलो दिनमा लेवीहरूले स्वयंलाई पवित्र सेवाका निम्ति तयार पार्न शुरू गरे। त्यो महीनाको आठौं दिनमा लेवीहरू परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको दलानमा आए। अझ आठ दिन तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरलाई पवित्र प्रयोगका निम्ति तयार पार्नका निम्ति सफा गरे। तिनीहरूले पहिलो महीनाको सोह्रौं दिनमा काम पूर्ण गरे। 18 तब तिनीहरू राजा हिजकियाह कहाँ गए। तिनीहरूले तिनलाई भने, “राजा हिजकियाह, हामीले परमप्रभुको मन्दिरको, होमबलिको वेदी अनि मन्दिरका सबै चीजहरू सफा गर्यौं। हामीले रोटीका लहर राख्ने मेच त्यस मेच सित प्रयोग गरिने सबै चीहरू सहित सफा गर्यौं। 19 आहाज राजा रहेको समयमा तिनले परमेश्वरको विरूद्ध विद्रोह गरे। तिनले मन्दिरमा भएका धेरै चीजहरू फ्याँकी दिए। तर हामीले ती सबै चीजहरू राखि दियौं अनि तिनीहरूलाई तिनीहरूको विशेष प्रयोगका निम्ति तयार पार्यौं। अहिले तिनीहरू परमप्रभुको वेदी सामुन्ने छन्।” 20 राजा हिजकियाहले शहर अधिकारीहरूलाई भेला गरे अनि भोलि पल्ट बिहानै परमप्रभुको मन्दिर सम्म गए। 21 तिनीहरूले सातवटा गोरूहरू सातवटा भेंडाहरू, सातवटा भेंडाका थुमाहरू अनि सातवटा भेडका पाठाहरू ल्याए। यी पशुहरू राज्यका पापबलिको निम्ति थिए, पवित्र स्थानलाई शुद्ध तुल्याउन अनि यहूदाका मानिसहरूका निम्ति थिए। राजा हिजकियाहले ती पशुहरूलाई परमप्रभुको वेदीमाथि अर्पण गर्नु भनी पूजाहारीहरूलाई आज्ञा दिए जो हारूनका सन्तानहरू थिए, तिनीहरूलाई आदेश दिए। 22 यसर्थ पूजाहारीहरूले गोरूहरूलाई मारे अनि रगत लिए। त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले गोरूको रगत वेदीमा छर्किदिए। तब पूजाहारीहरूले भेंडाका पाठाहरू मारे अनि भेंडाका पाठाको रगत वेदीमा छर्किदिए। 23-24 त्यस पछि पूजाहारीहरूले बाख्राहरूलाई राजा र भेला भएका मानिसहरूको सामुन्ने ल्याए। ती बाख्राहरू पाप बलि थिए। पूजाहारीहरूले आफ्ना हात बाख्रा माथि राखे अनि बाख्राहरूलाई मारे। पूजाहारीहरूले बाख्राको रगतद्वारा वेदीमा पाप बलि अर्पम गरे। तिनीहरूले यसो गरे जसद्वारा परमेश्वरले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूको पापलाई क्षमा गरिदिनुहुनेछ। राजाले भने कि त्यो होमबलि अनि पाप बलि इस्राएलका सबै मानिसहरूका निम्ति हुनु पर्छ। 25 राजा हिजकियाहले लेवीहरूलाई दाऊद, राजाका दर्शी गाद अनि अगमवक्ता नातानले आदेश गरेका प्रकारले, झ्याम्टा, सितार अनि वीणाहरू सहित परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा राखे। यो आदेश उहाँका अगमवक्ता मार्फत परमप्रभुबाट आएको हो। 26 यसर्थ लेवीहरू दाऊदका वाद्य-यन्त्रहरू सहित अनि पूजाहारीहरू आफ्ना तुरहीहरू सहित उभिए। 27 तब हिजकियाहले वेदीमा होमबलि चढाउने आदेश दिए। जब होमबलि शुरू भयो परमप्रभुको स्तुति गान पनि शुरू भयो। तुरहीहरू फुके अनि इस्राएलका राजा दाऊदका बाजा बजाइए। 28 सम्पूर्ण सभाले शिर झुकाए, संङ्गीतकारहरूले गाए अनि तुरही बजाउनेहरूले आ-आफ्ना तुरही होमबलि पूर्ण नभएसम्म बजाए। 29 बलिदानहरू पूरा भए पछि राजा हिजकियाह अनि तिनका साथ भएका सबै मानिसहरू तल झुके र आराधना गरे। 30 राजा हिजकियाह अनि तिनका अधिकारीहरूले लेवीहरूलाई परमप्रभुको प्रशंसा गर्ने आज्ञा दिए। तिनीहरूले ती गीतहरू गाए जो दाऊद अनि दर्शी आसापले लेखेका थिए। तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरको प्रशंसा गरे अनि प्रशन्न भए। तिनीहरू सबै झुके र परमेश्वरको आराधना गरे। 31 हिजकियाहले भने, “अब यहूदाका मानिसहरू तिमीहरूले स्वयंलाई परमप्रभु प्रति अर्पण गरिसकेकाछौ। नजिक आऊ बलि र धन्यवादको भेटी परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा ल्याऊ।” तब मानिसहरूले बलिहरू अनि धन्यवादका भेटीहरू ल्याए। कुनै पनि व्यक्ति जसले चाहन्थे, तिनीहरूले पनि होमबलि ल्याए। 32 सभाले मन्दिरमा ल्याएका होमबलिहरू यी हुन्; 70 गोरूहरू, 100 वटा भेंडाहरू अनि 200 भेंडाका थुमाहरू। यी सबै पशुहरूलाई परमप्रभुका निम्ति होमबलिको रूपमा बलिदान गरिए। 33 परमप्रभुको निम्ति पवित्र भेटीहरू 600 गोरूहरू अनि 3,000 भेंडा अनि बाख्रहरू थिए। 34 तर त्यहाँ होमबलिका निम्ति पशुहरूको छाला काढ्ने अनि पशुहरूलाई काट्ने पर्याप्त पूजाहारीहरू थिएनन्। यसर्थ तिनीहरूका आफन्तहरू, लेवीहरूले काम नसकुन्जेल अनि अन्य पूजाहारीहरूले स्वयंलाई पवित्र सेवाका निम्ति तयार नपारून्जेल तिनीहरूलाई सहायता गरे। तिनीहरू स्वयंलाई परमप्रभुको सेवाका निम्ति तयार गर्न लेवीहरू अधिक ध्यान मग्न थिए। तिनीहरू पूजाहारीहरू भन्दा अधिक ध्यान मग्न थिए। 35 त्यहाँ अनेक होमबलि, अनि मेलबलिको बोसो अनि अर्घबलिहरू थिए। यसरी परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा सेवा कार्य फेरि शुरू भयो। 36 हिजकियाह अनि मानिसहरू अति प्रशन्न थिए परमेश्वरले मानिसहरूका निम्ति प्रस्तुत गर्नु भएका कुराहरूको बारेमा अनि तिनीहरू उहाँले यति चाँडो गर्नु भएकोमा खुशी थिए।
