< 历代志下 30 >
1 希西家差遣人去见以色列和犹大众人,又写信给以法莲和玛拿西人,叫他们到耶路撒冷耶和华的殿,向耶和华—以色列的 神守逾越节;
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 因为王和众首领,并耶路撒冷全会众已经商议,要在二月内守逾越节。
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 正月间他们不能守;因为自洁的祭司尚不敷用,百姓也没有聚集在耶路撒冷;
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.
And it was pleasing the thing in [the] eyes of the king and in [the] eyes of all the assembly.
5 于是定了命令,传遍以色列,从别是巴直到但,使他们都来,在耶路撒冷向耶和华—以色列的 神守逾越节;因为照所写的例,守这节的不多了。
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 驿卒就把王和众首领的信,遵着王命传遍以色列和犹大。信内说:“以色列人哪,你们当转向耶和华—亚伯拉罕、以撒、以色列的 神,好叫他转向你们这脱离亚述王手的余民。
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 你们不要效法你们列祖和你们的弟兄;他们干犯耶和华—他们列祖的 神,以致耶和华丢弃他们,使他们败亡,正如你们所见的。
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 现在不要像你们列祖硬着颈项,只要归顺耶和华,进入他的圣所,就是永远成圣的居所;又要事奉耶和华—你们的 神,好使他的烈怒转离你们。
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 你们若转向耶和华,你们的弟兄和儿女必在掳掠他们的人面前蒙怜恤,得以归回这地,因为耶和华—你们的 神有恩典、施怜悯。你们若转向他,他必不转脸不顾你们。”
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 驿卒就由这城跑到那城,传遍了以法莲、玛拿西,直到西布伦。那里的人却戏笑他们,讥诮他们。
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 然而亚设、玛拿西、西布伦中也有人自卑,来到耶路撒冷。
Nevertheless men from Asher and Manasseh and from Zebulun they humbled themselves and they came to Jerusalem.
12 神也感动犹大人,使他们一心遵行王与众首领凭耶和华之言所发的命令。
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,有许多人在耶路撒冷聚集,成为大会,要守除酵节。
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 他们起来,把耶路撒冷的祭坛和烧香的坛尽都除去,抛在汲沦溪中。
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,宰了逾越节的羊羔。祭司与利未人觉得惭愧,就洁净自己,把燔祭奉到耶和华殿中,
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 遵着神人摩西的律法,照例站在自己的地方;祭司从利未人手里接过血来,洒在坛上。
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 会中有许多人尚未自洁,所以利未人为一切不洁之人宰逾越节的羊羔,使他们在耶和华面前成为圣洁。
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 以法莲、玛拿西、以萨迦、西布伦有许多人尚未自洁,他们却也吃逾越节的羊羔,不合所记录的定例。希西家为他们祷告说:“凡专心寻求 神,就是耶和华—他列祖之 神的,虽不照着圣所洁净之礼自洁,求至善的耶和华也饶恕他。”
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.
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.
And he listened Yahweh to Hezekiah and he healed the people.
21 在耶路撒冷的以色列人大大喜乐,守除酵节七日。利未人和祭司用响亮的乐器,日日颂赞耶和华。
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 希西家慰劳一切善于事奉耶和华的利未人。于是众人吃节筵七日,又献平安祭,且向耶和华—他们列祖的 神认罪。
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 全会众商议,要再守节七日;于是欢欢喜喜地又守节七日。
And they took counsel all the assembly to observe seven days another and they observed seven days joy.
24 犹大王希西家赐给会众公牛一千只,羊七千只为祭物;众首领也赐给会众公牛一千只,羊一万只,并有许多的祭司洁净自己。
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 犹大全会众、祭司、利未人,并那从以色列地来的会众和寄居的人,以及犹大寄居的人,尽都喜乐。
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 这样,在耶路撒冷大有喜乐,自从以色列王大卫儿子所罗门的时候,在耶路撒冷没有这样的喜乐。
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 那时,祭司、利未人起来,为民祝福。他们的声音蒙 神垂听,他们的祷告达到天上的圣所。
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.
