< 2 Chronicles 30 >

1 Then Hezekiah sent word throughout all Israel and Judah, and he also wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasseh inviting them to come to the house of the LORD in Jerusalem to keep the Passover of the LORD, the God of Israel.
Hezekia nooro wach ni jo-Israel duto gi jo-Juda kendo nondiko barupe ni jo-Efraim kod jo-Manase kokwayogi mondo gibi Jerusalem e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye mondo gitim Sap Pasaka ni Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach jo-Israel.
2 For the king and his officials and the whole assembly in Jerusalem had decided to keep the Passover in the second month,
Ruoth gi jodonge kod joma nochokore Jerusalem nowinjore ni gitim Sap Pasaka e dwe mar ariyo.
3 since they had been unable to observe it at the regular time, because not enough priests had consecrated themselves and the people had not been gathered in Jerusalem.
Ne ok ginyal time e kinde mane onego otime nimar jodolo moromo ne pok opwodhore to ji bende ne pok ochokore Jerusalem.
4 This proposal pleased the king and the whole assembly.
Chenroni ne berne ruoth kod joma nochokore.
5 So they established a decree to circulate a proclamation throughout Israel, from Beersheba to Dan, that the people should come to keep the Passover of the LORD, the God of Israel, in Jerusalem. For they had not observed it as a nation as prescribed.
Negingʼado bura mondo giland wachni e Israel duto kochakore Bersheba nyaka Dan kagiluongo ji mondo gibi Jerusalem otim Pasaka mar Jehova Nyasaye Nyasach Israel nikech ne pok otime gi ji mangʼeny kaka ondiki.
6 So the couriers went throughout Israel and Judah with letters from the king and his officials, which read: “Children of Israel, return to the LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, so that He may return to those of you who remain, who have escaped the grasp of the kings of Assyria.
Omiyo joote nodhi Israel gi Juda duto kaka ruoth nochiko ka gitingʼo barupe mane oa ir ruoth kod jodonge mondikie niya, “Jo-Israel dwoguru ir Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Ibrahim gi Isaka kod Israel mondo mi oduog iru un joma odongʼ mosetony e lwet ruodhi mag Asuria.
7 Do not be like your fathers and brothers who were unfaithful to the LORD, the God of their fathers, so that He made them an object of horror, as you can see.
Kik ubed ka kwereu gi oweteu mane oweyo luwo Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach kwereu momiyo gidoko gima iluoro mana kaka uneno sani.
8 Now do not stiffen your necks as your fathers did. Submit to the LORD and come to His sanctuary, which He has consecrated forever. Serve the LORD your God, so that His fierce anger will turn away from you.
Kik ubed gi tok matek kaka kwereu nobedo, bolreuru ni Jehova Nyasaye. Biuru e kama ler mar lemo ma osepwodho nyaka chiengʼ. Tineuru Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu mondo mi mirimbe mager owuog kuomu.
9 For if you return to the LORD, your brothers and sons will receive mercy in the presence of their captors and will return to this land. For the LORD your God is gracious and merciful; He will not turn His face away from you if you return to Him.”
Ka udwogo ir Jehova Nyasaye eka joweteu gi nyithindu notimnegi ngʼwono mi nowegi giduogi e pinygi kod joma noterogi e twech nikech Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu en jangʼwono kendo en gihera maduongʼ omiyo ok noloknu ngʼeye ka udwogo ire.”
10 And the couriers traveled from city to city through the land of Ephraim and Manasseh as far as Zebulun; but the people scorned and mocked them.
Joote nodhi e dala ka dala e piny Efraim gi Manase duto nyaka ochopo Zebulun to ji nocharogi kendo nyierogi.
11 Nevertheless, some from Asher, Manasseh, and Zebulun humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem.
To kata kamano jo-Asher moko kod jo-Manase kaachiel gi jo-Zebulun nobolore modhi Jerusalem.
12 Moreover, the power of God was on the people in Judah to give them one heart to obey the command of the king and his officials according to the word of the LORD.
To e piny Juda bende ema ne lwet Nyasaye ne nitie kuom jogo mondo omigi bedo e paro achiel mondo gitim gima ruoth gi jodonge nochiko kaluwore gi wach mar Jehova Nyasaye.
13 In the second month, a very great assembly gathered in Jerusalem to celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
Ji mangʼeny nochokore Jerusalem e dwe mar ariyo mondo gitim Sap Makati ma ok oketie Thowi.
14 They proceeded to remove the altars in Jerusalem and to take away the incense altars and throw them into the Kidron Valley.
Negigolo kende mag misango miwangʼoe liswa mane nitie Jerusalem kaachiel gi kende mag misango miwangʼoe ubani mi giwitogi e Holo mar Kidron.
15 And on the fourteenth day of the second month they slaughtered the Passover lamb. The priests and Levites were ashamed, and they consecrated themselves and brought burnt offerings to the house of the LORD.
Ne giyangʼo nyarombo mar Pasaka Chiengʼ mar apar gangʼwen mar dwe mar ariyo jodolo kod jo-Lawi noyudo wichkuot omiyo negipwodhore mi gikelo misengini miwangʼo pep e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.
16 They stood at their prescribed posts, according to the Law of Moses the man of God. The priests sprinkled the blood, which they received from the hand of the Levites.
Bangʼe negikawo keregi mapile kaka ondikie chike Musa ngʼat Nyasaye. Jodolo nokiro remo manomigi kod jo-Lawi.
17 Since there were many in the assembly who had not consecrated themselves, the Levites were in charge of slaughtering the Passover lambs for every unclean person to consecrate the lambs to the LORD.
Nikech ji mangʼeny ei oganda ne pod ok opwodhore, nochuno jo-Lawi mondo oyangʼ nyirombe mag Sap Pasaka ni jogo duto mane ok ler kendo ne ok nyal chiwo nyirombegi ni Jehova Nyasaye.
18 A large number of the people—many from Ephraim, Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun—had not purified themselves, yet they ate the Passover, contrary to what was written. But Hezekiah interceded for them, saying, “May the LORD, who is good, provide atonement for everyone
Kata obedo ni ji mathoth manowuok e piny Efraim gi Manase gi Isakar kod Zebulun ne ok opwodhore, to kata kamano negichamo Pasaka ka ok giluwo gima nondiki. To Hezekia nolamonigi kawacho niya, “Mad Jehova Nyasaye mangʼwon owene ngʼato angʼata,
19 who sets his heart on seeking God—the LORD, the God of his fathers—even if he is not cleansed according to the purification rules of the sanctuary.”
moseketo chunye mondo oluw Nyasaye ma en Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach kwerene kata obedo ni ok oler kaluwore gi chike mag kama ler mar lemo.”
20 And the LORD heard Hezekiah and healed the people.
Omiyo Jehova Nyasaye nowinjo kwayo mar Hezekia mochango jogo.
21 The Israelites who were present in Jerusalem celebrated the Feast of Unleavened Bread for seven days with great joy, and the Levites and priests praised the LORD day after day, accompanied by loud instruments of praise to the LORD.
Jo-Israel mane nitiere Jerusalem notimo Sap Makati ma ok oketie Thowi kuom ndalo abiriyo ka gimor gi-ilo maduongʼ ka jo-Lawi kod jodolo werne Jehova Nyasaye pile ka pile ka gigoyo thumbe mag pak mar Jehova Nyasaye.
22 And Hezekiah encouraged all the Levites who performed skillfully before the LORD. For seven days they ate their assigned portion, sacrificing fellowship offerings and giving thanks to the LORD, the God of their fathers.
Hezekia nojiwo jo-Lawi duto mane ongʼeyo tich mar tiyo ne Jehova Nyasaye. Kuom ndalo abiriyo negichamo chiemo mane opognigi kendo negitimo misango mar lalruok kagipako Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach kweregi.
23 The whole assembly agreed to observe seven more days, so they observed seven days with joy.
Jogo mane ochokore nowinjore mondo gimed timo sawoni ndalo abiriyo mamoko, omiyo kuom ndalo abiriyo mamoko negitimo kamano gi mor.
24 For Hezekiah king of Judah contributed a thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep for the assembly, and the officials contributed a thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep for the assembly, and a great number of priests consecrated themselves.
Hezekia ruodh Juda nochiwo ni joma nochokore rwedhi alufu achiel kod rombe gi diek alufu abiriyo, to jodonge nochiwonegi rwedhi alufu achiel kod rombe gi diek alufu apar. Jodolo mangʼeny ahinya nopwodhore.
25 Then the whole assembly of Judah rejoiced along with the priests and Levites and the whole assembly that had come from Israel, including the foreigners who had come from Israel and those who lived in Judah.
Joma nochokore duto mane oa Juda kaachiel gi jodolo kod jo-Lawi kod joma nochokore koa Israel kaachiel gi jodak mane odak Israel kod mane odak Juda ne mor gi ilo.
26 So there was great rejoicing in Jerusalem, for nothing like this had happened there since the days of Solomon son of David king of Israel.
Ne nitie mor maduongʼ Jerusalem mapok nobedo Jerusalem chakre ndalo Solomon wuod Daudi ma ruodh Israel.
27 Then the priests and the Levites stood to bless the people, and God heard their voice, and their prayer came into His holy dwelling place in heaven.
Jodolo gi jo-Lawi nochungʼ mondo ogwedh ji, kendo Nyasaye nowinjogi nikech lembgi nochopo e polo kar dakne maler.
