2 Chronicles 30
1 Then Hezekiah sent word to all Israel and Judah, and sent letters to Ephraim and Manasseh, requesting them to come to the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, to keep the Passover to the Lord, the God of Israel.
Hezekia ɖo du ɖe Israel kple Yuda blibo la eye wòŋlɔ agbalẽwo hã ɖo ɖe Efraim kple Manase toawo, nɔ wo kpem be woava Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me le Yerusalem eye woaɖu Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui na Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la.
2 For the king, after discussion with his chiefs and all the body of the people in Jerusalem, had made a decision to keep the Passover in the second month.
Fia la kple eƒe dziɖulawo kple ameha blibo la si nɔ Yerusalem ɖo tame be yewoaɖu Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la le ɣleti evelia me.
3 It was not possible to keep it at that time, because not enough priests had made themselves holy, and the people had not come together in Jerusalem.
Womete ŋu ɖu ŋkekenyui sia le ɣeyiɣi ɖoɖi la dzi ƒe sia ƒe o elabena nunɔla siwo kɔ wo ɖokuiwo ŋu la mesɔ gbɔ o eye ameawo mekpe ta ɖe Yerusalem o.
4 And the thing was right in the eyes of the king and all the people.
Fia la kple eƒe aɖaŋudelawo katã lɔ̃ ɖe ɖoɖo sia dzi
5 So it was ordered that word was to be sent out through all Israel, from Beer-sheba to Dan, that they were to come to keep the Passover to the Lord, the God of Israel, at Jerusalem: because they had not kept it in great numbers in agreement with the law.
eya ta woɖe gbeƒã Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la ɖuɖu to Israelnyigba blibo la dzi, tso Dan yi Beerseba eye wokpe ame sia ame va Yerusalem hena ŋkekenyuia ɖuɖu na Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la, elabena eteƒe didi Israelviwo megaɖu Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la kpɔ, abe ale si woŋlɔe ɖi ene o.
6 So runners went with letters from the king and his chiefs through all Israel and Judah, by the order of the king, saying, O children of Israel, come back again to the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, so that he may come again to that small band of you which has been kept safe out of the hands of the kings of Assyria.
Dɔlawo xɔ agbalẽawo le fia la kple eƒe amegãwo si ɖatsa le le Israel blibo la kple Yuda eye wogblɔ le fia la ƒe sedede nu be be, “Israelviwo, mitrɔ gbɔ va Yehowa, Abraham kple Isak kple Israel ƒe Mawu la gbɔ, ale be eya hã natrɔ ɖe mi ame siwo do le Asiria fiawo ƒe ŋusẽ te la ŋu.
7 Do not be like your fathers and your brothers, who were sinners against the Lord, the God of their fathers, so that he made them a cause of fear, as you see.
Miganɔ abe mia nɔviwo, ame siwo wɔ nu vɔ̃ ɖe Yehowa, wo fofowo ƒe Mawu ŋu eye wòtsrɔ̃ wo la ene o.
8 Now do not be hard-hearted, as your fathers were; but give yourselves to the Lord, and come into his holy place, which he has made his for ever, and be the servants of the Lord your God, so that the heat of his wrath may be turned away from you.
Miganye kɔlialiatɔwo abe woawo ene o, ke boŋ miɖe asi le mia ɖokuiwo ŋu na Yehowa eye miatrɔ va eƒe gbedoxɔ si ŋu wokɔ tegbee la me. Misubɔ Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la ale be eƒe dɔmedzoe helihelĩ la naɖe ɖa le mia dzi.
9 For if you come back to the Lord, those who took away your brothers and your children will have pity on them, and let them come back to this land: for the Lord your God is full of grace and mercy, and his face will not be turned away from you if you come back to him.
Ne miegatrɔ ɖe Aƒetɔ la ŋu la, ame siwo ɖe aboyo mia nɔviwo kple mia viwo la, akpɔ nublanui na wo eye woagate ŋu atrɔ agbɔ va anyigba sia dzi elabena Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la ƒe dɔme nyo eye eƒe amenuveve li tegbee eya ta magble mí ɖi, ne míetrɔ ɖe eŋu o.”
10 So the runners went from town to town through all the country of Ephraim and Manasseh as far as Zebulun: but they were laughed at and made sport of.
Ale dɔlawo tsa le duwo katã me le Efraim kple Manase kple Zebulon. Ke enuenu la, ameawo xɔa wo kple nukoko kple vlodoame!
11 However, some of Asher and Manasseh and Zebulun put away their pride and came to Jerusalem.
Ke ame aɖewo ya tso Aser, Manase kple Zebulon ƒe viwo dome trɔ ɖe Mawu ŋu eye wova Yerusalem.
12 And in Judah the power of God gave them one heart to do the orders of the king and the captains, which were taken as the word of the Lord.
Le Yuda la, Mawu ƒe Gbɔgbɔ nyɔ didi sesẽ aɖe le dukɔ blibo la me be woawɔ Yehowa ƒe ɖoɖowo dzi abe ale si fia la kple eŋumewo bia tso wo si la ene.
13 So a very great number of people came together at Jerusalem to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month.
Ale ameha gã aɖe va kpe ta ɖe Yerusalem le ɣleti evelia me hena Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la ɖuɖu.
14 And they got to work and took away all the altars in Jerusalem, and they put all the vessels for burning perfumes into the stream Kidron.
Wogbã trɔ̃subɔlawo ƒe vɔsamlekpuiwo kple dzudzɔdovɔsamlekpuiwo katã le Yerusalem eye wolɔ woƒe gbagbãwo yi ɖakɔ ɖe Kidron tɔʋu la me.
15 Then on the fourteenth day of the second month they put the Passover lambs to death: and the priests and the Levites were shamed, and made themselves holy and took burned offerings into the house of the Lord.
Le ɣleti evelia ƒe ŋkeke gbãtɔ dzi la, ameawo wu alẽviwo hena Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la ɖuɖu. Ŋukpe lé nunɔlawo kple Levitɔwo, ale wokɔ wo ɖokuiwo ŋu eye wotsɔ numevɔsanuwo yi gbedoxɔ la me.
16 And they took their places in their right order, as it was ordered in the law of Moses, the man of God: the priests draining out on the altar the blood given them by the Levites.
Wotsi tsitre ɖe woƒe nɔƒewo abe ale si Mose, Mawu ƒe ame la, ƒe sewo ɖo na wo ene. Levitɔwo tsɔ vɔsalẽwo ƒe ʋu na nunɔlawo eye wohlẽe.
17 For there were still a number of the people there who had not made themselves holy: so the Levites had to put Passover lambs to death for those who were not clean, to make them holy to the Lord.
Esi ameawo dometɔ geɖewo mekɔ wo ɖokuiwo ŋu o ta la, womete ŋu wu alẽviwo na Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la ɖuɖu o eya ta Levitɔwo wu wo na wo eye wotsɔ alẽviawo de asi na Yehowa.
18 For a great number of the people from Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun, had not made themselves clean, but they took the Passover meal, though not in the right way. For Hezekiah had made prayer for them, saying, May the good Lord have mercy on everyone
Hekpe ɖe esia ŋu la, ame siwo tso Efraim, Manase, Isaka kple Zebulon ƒe hlɔ̃wo me va la, dometɔ geɖewo mekɔ wo ɖokuiwo ŋuti o ale womenɔ Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la ɖum nyuie ɖe se la nu o. Fia Hezekia do gbe ɖa ɖe wo ta be,
19 Who, with all his heart, is turned to God the Lord, the God of his fathers, even if he has not been made clean after the rules of the holy place.
“Oo Yehowa, mía fofowo ƒe Mawu, le wò dɔmenyo ta la, tsɔ nu vɔ̃ ke ame siwo le subɔwòm kple woƒe dzi blibo togbɔ be womekɔ wo ɖokuiwo ŋu o hã.”
20 And the Lord gave ear to Hezekiah, and made the people well.
Yehowa se Hezekia ƒe gbedodoɖa eye metsrɔ̃ ameawo o.
21 So the children of Israel who were present in Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread for seven days with great joy: and the Levites and the priests gave praise to the Lord day by day, making melody to the Lord with loud instruments.
Ale Israelviwo ɖu Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la le Yerusalem ŋkeke adre kple dzidzɔ gã. Le ɣe ma ɣi la, Levitɔwo kple nunɔlawo kafua Mawu sesĩe kple hadzidziwo kple gakogoewo gbe sia gbe.
22 And Hezekiah said kind words to the Levites who were expert in the ordering of the worship of the Lord: so they kept the feast for seven days, offering peace-offerings and praising the Lord, the God of their fathers.
Fia Hezekia kafu Levitɔwo le woƒe ha viviwo dzidzi ta. Ale ŋkekenyui la ɖuɖu yi edzi ŋkeke adre. Wosa akpedavɔwo eye amewo ʋu woƒe nu vɔ̃wo me na Yehowa, wo fofowo ƒe Mawu la.
23 And by the desire of all the people, the feast went on for another seven days, and they kept the seven days with joy.
Ameawo gayi vividodo ɖe ŋkekenyui la ŋu dzi eya ta wo katã woɖoe be yewoagayi ŋkekenyui la ɖuɖu dzi ŋkeke adre bubu.
24 For Hezekiah, king of Judah, gave to the people for offerings, a thousand oxen and seven thousand sheep; and the rulers gave a thousand oxen and ten thousand sheep; and a great number of priests made themselves holy.
Fia Hezekia na nyitsu akpe ɖeka kple alẽ akpe adre ameawo eye fiaviŋutsuwo hã na nyitsu fɛ̃ akpe ɖeka kple alẽ akpe ewo. Nunɔla geɖewo kɔ wo ɖokuiwo ŋu ɣe ma ɣi.
25 And all the people of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and those who had come from Israel, and men from other lands who had come from Israel or who were living in Judah, were glad with great joy.
Yudatɔwo, nunɔlawo, Levitɔwo kple amedzrowo kple ame siwo tso Israelnyigba dzi va la kpɔ dzidzɔ gã aɖe.
26 So there was great joy in Jerusalem: for nothing like this had been seen in Jerusalem from the time of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel.
Eva eme alea elabena womegaɖu ŋkekenyui sia tɔgbi kpɔ alea le Yerusalem le Solomo, Fia David ƒe vi ƒe ŋkekewo megbe o.
27 Then the priests and the Levites gave the people a blessing: and the voice of their prayer went up to the holy place of God in heaven.
Azɔ la, nunɔlawo kple Levitɔwo tsi tsitre, yra ameawo eye Yehowa se woƒe gbedodoɖawo le eƒe gbedoxɔ kɔkɔe la me le dziƒo.
