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.
Ary Hezekia naniraka tany amin’ ny Isiraely sy ny Joda rehetra ka nanoratra taratasy ho amin’ ny Efraima sy ny Manase koa mba hankanesany any an-tranon’ i Jehovah any Jerosalema hitandrina ny Paska ho an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely.
2 For the king and his officials and the whole assembly in Jerusalem had decided to keep the Passover in the second month,
Fa ny mpanjaka sy ny mpanapaka mbamin’ ny fiangonana rehetra tany Jerosalema dia niara-nihevitra ny amin’ ny hitandremana ny Paska amin’ ny volana faharoa.
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.
Nefa tsy nahatandrina azy tamin’ izany andro izany izy, satria ny mpisorona tsy mbola nanamasina ny tenany loatra, ary ny olona koa tsy mbola vory tany Jerosalema.
4 This proposal pleased the king and the whole assembly.
Ary sitraky ny mpanjaka sy ny fiangonana rehetra izany.
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.
Dia nandidy handefa teny eran’ ny Isiraely rehetra hatrany Beri-sheba ka hatrany Dana izy mba hankanesan’ ny olona hitandrina ny Paska ho an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, any Jerosalema; fa ny be sy ny maro tsy mba nitandrina azy araka ny voasoratra.
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.
Dia lasa ny tsimandoa nitondra ny taratasy avy tamin’ ny mpanjaka sy ny mpanapaka hitety ny Isiraely sy ny Joda rehetra ka nilaza araka ny didin’ ny mpanjaka hoe: Ry zanak’ isiraely ô, miverena amin’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitr’ i Abrahama sy Isaka ary Isiraely, mba hiverenany ho amin’ izay sisa aminareo izay tsy azon’ ny tànan’ ireo mpanjakan’ i Asyria.
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.
Aza manahaka ny rainareo sy ny rahalahinareo izay nivadika tamin’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razany, ka dia natolony ho figagana araka izao hitanareo izao izy.
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.
Koa aza manamafy ny hatokareo toy ny nataon’ ny razanareo, fa atolory an’ i Jehovah ny tananareo, ka midìra ao amin’ ny fitoerany masìna, izay nohamasininy ho mandrakizay; ary manompoa an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo, mba hiala aminareo ny fahatezerany mirehitra.
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.”
Fa raha miverina amin’ i Jehovah ianareo, dia hahazo famindram-po eo anatrehan’ izay nitondra azy ho babo ny rahalahinareo sy ny zanakareo, ka dia ho tafaverina amin’ ity tany ity izy; fa miantra sy mamindra fo Jehovah Andriamanitrareo, ary tsy mba hiamboho anareo Izy, raha miverina aminy ianareo.
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.
Ary ny tsimandoa nitety ny tanàna hatrany amin’ ny tanin’ ny Efraima sy ny Manase ka hatrany amin’ ny Zebolona; fa nihomehezan’ ny olona sy novazivaziny foana izy.
11 Nevertheless, some from Asher, Manasseh, and Zebulun humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem.
Kanefa kosa ny tamin’ ny Asera sy ny Manase ary ny Zebolona dia nisy ihany nanetry tena ka tonga tany Jerosalema.
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.
Ary ny tànan’ Andriamanitra dia napetrany tamin’ ny Joda koa mba hanome azy fo iray hankatò ny didin’ ny mpanjaka sy ny mpanapaka noho ny tenin’ i Jehovah.
13 In the second month, a very great assembly gathered in Jerusalem to celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
Ary tamin’ ny volana faharoa dia nisy olona maro nivory tany Jerosalema hitandrina ny andro firavoravoana fihinanana ny mofo tsy misy masirasira, dia fivoriana lehibe tokoa.
14 They proceeded to remove the altars in Jerusalem and to take away the incense altars and throw them into the Kidron Valley.
Ary nitsangana izy, dia nandrava ireo alitara tany Jerosalema; ary ny alitara fandoroana ditin-kazo manitra rehetra dia noravany koa ka nariany tany amin’ ny lohasahan-driaka Kidrona.
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.
Dia namono ny Paska izy tamin’ ny andro fahefatra ambin’ ny folo tamin’ ny volana faharoa; ary menatra, ny mpisorona sy ny Levita, dia nanamasina ny tenany ka nampiditra ny fanatitra dorana ho ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah.
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.
Ary nitsangana teo amin’ ny fitoerany tahaka ny fanao izy, araka ny lalàn’ i Mosesy, lehilahin’ Andriamanitra; ary ny mpisorona nanopy ny rà izay teny an-tànan’ ny Levita.
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.
Fa nisy maro tao amin’ ny fiangonana izay tsy mba nanamasina ny tenany, ka dia ny Levita no nampamonoina ny Paska hisolo izay rehetra tsy madio mba hanamasina azy ho an’ i Jehovah.
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
Fa nisy olona betsaka, dia maro avy tamin’ ny Efraima sy ny Manase sy ny Isakara ary ny Zebolona, no tsy mba nanadio ny tenany, kanefa nihinana ny Paska ihany izy, fa tsy araka izay voasoratra. Ary Hezekia nivavaka ho an’ ireny ka nanao hoe: Jehovah tsara ô, mamelà
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.”
izay rehetra efa nampiomana ny fony hitady an’ Andriamanitra, dia Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razany, na dia tsy madio araka ny fahadiovan’ ny fitoerana masìna aza izy.
20 And the LORD heard Hezekiah and healed the people.
Ary Jehovah nihaino an’ i Hezekia ka nahasitrana ny olona.
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.
Ary ny Zanak’ isiraely izay tany Jerosalema dia nitandrina hafitoana ny andro firavoravoana fihinanana ny mofo tsy misy masirasira tamin’ ny fifaliana lehibe; ary ny Levita sy ny mpisorona nidera an’ i Jehovah isan’ andro sady nampaneno zavatra mafy faneno ho an’ i Jehovah.
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.
Ary Hezekia dia nankasitraka ny Levita rehetra, izay nanana fahaizana ho an’ i Jehovah; ary nihinana ny Paska hafitoana izy sady nanatitra fanati-pihavanana koa sy nisaotra an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razany.
23 The whole assembly agreed to observe seven more days, so they observed seven days with joy.
Ary ny fiangonana rehetra niara-nihevitra ny amin’ ny hitandremana hafitoana indray; ka dia mbola nitandrina hafitoana koa tamin’ ny hafaliana izy.
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.
Fa Hezekia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, nanome vantotr’ ombilahy arivo sy ondry aman’ osy fito arivo ho an’ ny fiangonana; ary ny mpanapaka koa nanome vantotr’ ombilahy arivo sy ondry aman’ osy iray alina ho an’ ny fiangonana; ary maro ny mpisorona no nanamasina ny tenany.
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.
Ary faly ny fiangonana, dia ny Joda rehetra sy ny mpisorona sy ny Levita sy izay rehetra tafangona avy tamin’ ny Isiraely mbamin’ ny vahiny izay avy tany amin’ ny tany Isiraely ary izay nonina tany Joda.
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.
Koa nisy fifaliana be tany Jerosalema; fa hatramin’ ny andron’ i Solomona, zanak’ i Davida, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, dia tsy mbola nisy tahaka izany tany Jerosalema.
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.
Dia nitsangana ny Levita sy ny mpisorona ka nitso-drano ny olona; ary nohenoin’ Andriamanitra ny feony, ka niakatra ho any an-danitra, fonenany masìna, ny fivavany.
