歷代志下 30

1 [宣告舉行逾越節]希則克雅派人到全以色列和猶大，且也寫了封公函給厄弗辣因和默納協，叫他們來耶路撒冷上主的殿內，向上主以色列的天主舉行逾越節，

And he sent Hezekiah to all Israel and Judah and also letters he wrote to Ephraim and Manasseh to come to [the] house of Yahweh in Jerusalem to observe a passover to Yahweh [the] God of Israel.

2 因為君王與首領和耶路撒冷會眾已商妥，在二月舉行逾越節。

And he had taken counsel the king and officials his and all the assembly in Jerusalem to observe the passover in the month second.

3 他們不能如期舉行的原因，是因為自潔的司祭尚不敷用，百姓又尚未齊集在耶路撒冷。

For not they had been able to observe it at the time that for the priests not they had consecrated themselves to [what] [was] sufficiency and the people not they had gathered to Jerusalem.

4 君王和全會眾都認為這樣做很對，

And it was pleasing the thing in [the] eyes of the king and in [the] eyes of all the assembly.

5 遂下令通告全以色列，從貝爾舍巴直到丹，都來耶路撒冷，向上主以色列的天主舉行逾越節，因為人很久沒有照章舉行這節了。

And they appointed a word to cause to pass a proclamation in all Israel from Beer Sheba and to Dan to come to observe a passover to Yahweh [the] God of Israel in Jerusalem for not to multitude they had done according to [what] is written.

6 使者遂帶君王和首領的公函，走遍全以色列和猶大，照君王的吩咐，宣佈說：「以色列的子民，你們應當轉向上主，亞巴郎、依撒格和以色列的天主，好使他轉向你們，這些擺脫亞述王權下的遺民。

And they went the runners with letters from [the] hand of the king and officials his in all Israel and Judah and according to [the] command of the king saying O people of Israel return to Yahweh [the] God of Abraham Isaac and Israel so he may return to the escaped remnant which remains to you from [the] hand of [the] kings of Assyria.

7 你們不可像你們的祖先和弟兄一樣，因為他們背叛了上主，他們祖先的天主，上主遂叫他們成了驚駭的對象，有如你們親眼所見的。

And may not you be like fathers your and like brothers your who they acted unfaithfully against Yahweh [the] God of ancestors their and he made them into a horror just as you [are] seeing.

8 現在，你們再別頸硬，如同你們祖先一樣，反應投奔上主，進入他永遠祝聖的居所，奉事上主你們的天主，使他的震怒轉離你們。

Now may not you harden neck your like fathers your give a hand to Yahweh and come to sanctuary his which he has consecrated for ever and serve Yahweh God your so may it turn back from you [the] burning of anger his.

9 如果你們轉向上主你們的天主，你們的弟兄子女，在擄掠他們的人面前必會蒙受憐憫，會再回到這地；因為上主你們的天主是慈悲的，是仁愛的；如果你們轉向他，他決不會轉面不顧你們。」

For when return you to Yahweh relatives your and children your to compassion before captors their and to return to the land this for [is] gracious and compassionate Yahweh God your and not he will turn aside face from you if you will turn back to him.

10 使者由這城到那城，奏遍了厄弗辣因和默納協各地，直到則步隆；但是，那裏的人卻嘲笑侮辱他們。

And they were the runners passing from city - to [the] city in [the] land of Ephraim and Manasseh and to Zebulun and people were laughing on them and mocking them.

11 可是，有些阿協爾、默納協和則步隆人自謙自卑，來到耶路撒冷。

Nevertheless men from Asher and Manasseh and from Zebulun they humbled themselves and they came to Jerusalem.

12 天主的手也在猶大行事，使民眾一心遵從君王和首領，照上主的話所出的命令。[舉行逾越節]

Also on Judah it was [the] hand of God to give to them a heart one to do [the] command of the king and the officials by [the] word of Yahweh.

13 二月，有很多人民聚集在耶路撒冷，舉行無酵節，實行是一個大盛會。

And they gathered Jerusalem a people numerous to observe [the] festival of the unleavened bread in the month second an assembly for multitude exceedingly.

14 民眾起來，將耶路撒冷所有的丘壇拆毀，將所有焚香的器具拿去，丟在克德龍溪裏。

And they arose and they removed the altars which [were] in Jerusalem and all the incense altars they removed and they threw [them] to [the] wadi of Kidron.

15 二月十四日宰殺了逾越節羔羊；司祭和肋未人自覺慚愧，便聖潔自己，好能在上主殿內奉獻全燔祭。

And they slaughtered the passover on [day] four-teen of the month second and the priests and the Levites they were ashamed and they consecrated themselves and they brought burnt offerings [the] house of Yahweh.

16 他們都按天主僕人梅瑟的法律，各自立在自己的地方，司祭由肋未人手中取過血來，灑在祭壇上。

And they stood at place their according to custom their according to [the] law of Moses [the] man of God the priests [were] sprinkling the blood from [the] hand of the Levites.

17 因為會眾中有許多人尚未自潔，肋未人便為所有不潔的人，宰殺逾越節的羔羊，好奉獻給上主。

For many among the assembly who not they had consecrated themselves and the Levites [were] over [the] slaughter of the passovers for every not clean to consecrate [them] to Yahweh.

18 實在，有許多人，有許多來自厄弗辣因，默納協、依撒加爾和則布隆的人，沒有自潔，就吃了逾越節的羔羊，竟沒有遵守明文的規定；為此，希則克雅為他們祈禱說：「

For [the] greater part of the people many from Ephraim and Manasseh Issachar and Zebulun not they had purified themselves for they ate the passover with not according to [what] is written for he had prayed Hezekiah on them saying Yahweh good may he make atonement for.

19 凡誠心尋求天主，上主，他們祖先的天主的人，雖然沒有依照聖所的潔禮自潔，願良善的上主予以寬恕! 」

Every [one who] heart his he has directed to seek God - Yahweh [the] God of ancestors his and not according to [the] purification of the holy place.

20 上主垂允了希則克雅，寬恕了百姓。

And he listened Yahweh to Hezekiah and he healed the people.

21 在耶路撒冷的以色列子民，極其歡樂，七天舉行了無酵節；肋未人和司祭們，天天讚頌上主，極力讚頌上主。

And they observed [the] people of Israel who were found (in Jerusalem *L(abh)*) [the] festival of the unleavened bread seven days with joy great and [were] praising Yahweh a day - in a day the Levites and the priests with instruments of strength to Yahweh.

22 由於所有的肋未人慇勤服事上主，希則克雅便慰勞他們。七天之久，眾人吃了節宴，獻了和平祭，稱謝了上主，他們祖先的天主。

And he spoke Hezekiah to [the] heart of all the Levites who were understanding understanding good to Yahweh and they ate the appointed feast [the] seven the days sacrificing sacrifices of peace offerings and giving thanks to Yahweh [the] God of ancestors their.

23 以後，全會眾議定，再舉行七天，於是歡樂地又舉行了七天，

And they took counsel all the assembly to observe seven days another and they observed seven days joy.

24 因為猶大王希則克雅送給了會眾一千頭牛犢，七千隻綿羊；首領們也送給了會眾一千頭牛犢，一萬隻綿羊；且有許多司祭已行了自潔禮。

For Hezekiah [the] king of Judah he contributed for the assembly one thousand young bulls and seven thousand sheep. And the officials they contributed for the assembly young bulls one thousand and sheep ten thousand and they consecrated themselves priests to multitude.

25 猶大全會眾、司祭和肋未人，來自以色列的全會眾，以及由以色列地來的，或是僑居在猶大的人，都非常高興。

And they rejoiced - all [the] assembly of Judah and the priests and the Levites and all the assembly which were coming from Israel and the sojourners who were coming from [the] land of Israel and who were dwelling in Judah.

26 歡樂瀰漫了耶路撒冷，自以色列王達味的兒子撒羅滿以來，耶路撒冷從未有過這樣大的喜慶。

And it was joy great in Jerusalem for since [the] days of Solomon [the] son of David [the] king of Israel not like this in Jerusalem.

27 肋未人司祭起來為民眾祝福，他們的聲音承蒙垂聽，他們的祈禱達於他天上的神聖居所。

And they arose the priests the Levites and they blessed the people and it was listened to voice their and it came prayer their to [the] dwelling of holiness his to the heavens.
