Chronicles II 30
1 And Ezekias sent to all Israel and Juda, and wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasse, that they should come into the house of the Lord to Jerusalem, to keep the passover to the Lord God of Israel.
Hezekaya zigaara ndị Izrel na Juda niile ozi, degakwara ndị Ifrem na Manase akwụkwọ ịkpọ oku ka ha bịa nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị dị na Jerusalem maka ime Mmemme Ngabiga nye Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke Izrel.
2 For the king, and the princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, designed to keep the passover in the second month.
Eze na ndịisi ya, na ndị nkpọkọta niile na Jerusalem kpebiri na Mmemme Ngabiga a ga-adị nʼọnwa nke abụọ.
3 For they could not keep it at that time, because a sufficient number of priest had not purified themselves, and the people was not gathered to Jerusalem.
Ha enweghị ike ime ya nʼoge e kwesiri ime ya nʼihi na ọtụtụ ndị nchụaja enwebeghị ike doo onwe ha nsọ nʼọnwa ahụ. Otu a kwa, ndị Izrel enwebeghịkwa ike zukọtaa na Jerusalem.
4 And the proposal pleased the king and the congregation.
Eze na Izrel niile nwere otu mkpebi ime ya otu a.
5 And they established a decree that a proclamation should go through all Israel, from Bersabee to Dan, that they should come and keep the passover to the Lord God of Israel at Jerusalem: for the multitude had not done it lately according to the scripture.
Ha kpebiri ka e kwusaa nʼala Izrel niile site na Dan ruo na Bịasheba ka onye ọbụla bịa na Jerusalem maka ime Mmemme Ngabiga nye Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Izrel. Ọtụtụ mmadụ nʼIzrel esobeghị mee mmemme a dịka e nyere ya nʼiwu.
6 And the posts went with the letters from the king and the princes to all Israel and Juda, according to the command of the king, saying, Children of Israel, return to the Lord God of Abraam, and Isaac, and Israel, and bring back them that have escaped [even] those that were left of the hand of the king of Assyria.
Ndị ọgba ọsọ weere akwụkwọ ozi sitere nʼaka eze na ndị ozi ya jegharịa nʼIzrel na Juda niile dịka ihe eze nyere nʼiwu si: “Unu ndị Izrel, lọghachikwutenụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke Ebraham, na Aịzik, na Jekọb, ka ọ laghachikwute unu bụ ndị eze Asịrịa na-emeribeghị.
7 And be not as your fathers, and your brethren, who revolted from the Lord God of their fathers, and he gave them up to desolation, as you see.
Unu adịkwala ka nna unu ha, na ụmụnne unu ndị Izrel, ndị na-ekwesighị ntụkwasị obi nye Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke nna nna ha, nke a mere o jiri were ha mee ihe iju anya, dịka unu hụrụ ya.
8 And now harden not your hearts, as your fathers [did]: give glory to the Lord God, and enter into his sanctuary, which he has sanctified for ever: and serve the Lord your God, and he shall turn away [his] fierce anger from you.
Unu abụla ndị isiike dịka ha, kama werenụ onwe unu nye Onyenwe anyị. Bịakwanụ nʼụlọnsọ ya nke o doro nsọ ruo ebighị ebi. Fee Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu ofufe, ime ka iwe ya jụrụ nʼebe unu nọ.
9 For when you turn to the Lord, your brethren and your children shall be pitied before all that have carried them captives, and he will restore [you] to this land: for the Lord our God is merciful and pitiful, and will not turn away his face from you, if we return to him.
Ọ bụrụ na unu alọghachikwute Onyenwe anyị, ọ ga-eme ka e gosi ụmụnna unu na ụmụ unu a dọtara nʼagha obi ebere, meekwa ka ha site nʼebe e bugara ha lọghachikwa. Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu bụ onye obi ebere, na onye obiọma; ọ gakwaghị agbakụta unu azụ, ma ọ bụrụ na unu echegharịa, lọghachikwute ya.”
10 So the posts went through from city to city in mount Ephraim, and Manasse, and as far as Zabulon: and they as it were laughed them to scorn, and mocked them.
Ya mere, ndị ọgbọ ọsọ ozi ahụ sitere otu obodo gaa obodo ọzọ nʼIfrem, na Manase, ọ bụladị ruo Zebụlọn. Ma ndị mmadụ chịrị ha ọchị, kwaakwa ha emo.
11 But the men of Aser, and [some] of Manasses and of Zabulon, were ashamed, and came to Jerusalem and Juda.
Ma otu ọ dị, ụfọdụ ndị si nʼebo Asha na Manase, na Zebụlọn wedatara onwe ha ala, bịa Jerusalem.
12 And the hand of the Lord was [present] to give them one heart to come, to do according to the commands of the king and of the princes, by the word of the Lord.
Ma aka Chineke dịnyere ndị Juda inye ha otu obi, ime ihe eze na ndịisi ya nyere nʼiwu, site nʼokwu Onyenwe anyị.
13 And a great multitude were gathered to Jerusalem to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.
Ya mere, ọtụtụ mmadụ bịara Jerusalem nʼọnwa nke abụọ nke afọ ahụ, maka mmemme achịcha ekoghị eko.
14 And they arose, and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all on which they burnt incense to false [gods] they tore down and cast into the brook Kedron.
Ha niile jiri otu obi bibie ụlọ arụsị Baal niile dị na Jerusalem, kụtuokwa ebe ịchụ aja na-esi isi ụtọ niile, buru ha niile bufuo ha na Ndagwurugwu Kidrọn.
15 Then they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the second month: and the priests and the Levites repented, and purified [themselves], and brought whole burnt offerings into the house of the Lord.
Nʼabalị nke iri na anọ nke ọnwa abụọ ahụ, ndị mmadụ ahụ niile gburu atụrụ Mmemme Ngabiga ha. Nke a mere ka ihere mee ndị nchụaja na ndị Livayị. Ha mekwara ngwangwa doo onwe ha nsọ were aja nsure ọkụ bịa nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị.
16 And they stood at their post, according to their ordinance, according to the commandment of Moses the man of God: and the priests received the blood from the hand of the Levites.
Ha niile guzokwara nʼọnọdụ ha dịka e dere ya nʼiwu Mosis, onye nke Chineke. Ndị nchụaja fesara ọbara nke ndị Livayị bunyere ha nʼaka, nʼelu ebe ịchụ aja.
17 For a great part of the congregation was not sanctified; and the Levites were [ready] to kill the passover for every one who could not sanctify himself to the Lord.
Ebe ọ bụ na ọtụtụ ndị so nʼigwe mmadụ ahụ edobeghị onwe ha nsọ, ndị Livayị gbuuru ha atụrụ Mmemme Ngabiga nʼihi na ha adịghị ọcha, ha apụghịkwa ido atụrụ ha nsọ nye Onyenwe anyị.
18 For the greatest part of the people of Ephraim, and Manasse, and Issachar, and Zabulon, had not purified [themselves], but ate the passover contrary to the scripture. On this account also Ezekias prayed concerning them, saying,
Ọ bụ ezie na ọtụtụ ndị sitere nʼIfrem, na Manase, na Isaka, na Zebụlọn edoghị onwe ha ọcha, ma ha sokwa rie oriri ngabiga ahụ, si otu a mebie ihe e dere nʼiwu. Ma Hezekaya kpeere ha ekpere sị, “Ka Onyenwe anyị onye dị mma gbaghara onye ọbụla
19 The good Lord be merciful with regard to every heart that sincerely seeks the Lord God of their fathers, and [is] not [purified] according to the purification of the sanctuary.
bụ ndị ji obi ha na-achọ Onyenwe anyị Chineke nke nna nna ha, ọ bụladị ma ọ bụrụ na ha adịghị ọcha dịka iwu nke ebe nsọ si dị.”
20 And the Lord listened to Ezekias, and healed the people.
Onyenwe anyị nụrụ ekpere Hezekaya gwọọkwa ha.
21 And the children of Israel who were present in Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great joy; and they continued to sing hymns to the Lord daily, and the priests and the Levites [played] on instruments to the Lord.
Ya mere, ndị Izrel ahụ niile ji ọṅụ mee mmemme achịcha ekoghị eko ahụ na Jerusalem ụbọchị asaa. Ma ndị nchụaja na ndị Livayị ji abụ na ngwa egwu Onyenwe anyị too ya otuto ụbọchị ahụ niile.
22 And Ezekias encouraged all the Levites, and those that had good understanding of the Lord: and they completely kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days, offering peace-offerings, and confessing to the Lord God of their fathers.
Hezekaya ji okwu dị mma gbaa ndị Livayị ume nʼihi ezi nghọta ha nwere nʼijere Onyenwe anyị ozi. Nʼime ụbọchị asaa ahụ niile, ha chụrụ aja udo, riekwa ihe ha ketara site nʼaja niile a chụrụ. Ha tokwara Onyenwe anyị Chineke nna nna ha otuto.
23 And the congregation purposed together to keep other seven days: and they kept seven days with gladness.
Nʼihi oke ọṅụ ha niile nwere, ha kpebiri ime mmemme ahụ gaa nʼihu ụbọchị asaa ọzọ.
24 For Ezekias set apart for Juda, [even] for the congregation, a thousand calves and seven thousand sheep; and the princes set apart for the people a thousand calves and ten thousand sheep: and the holy things of the priests abundantly.
Hezekaya eze Juda, nyere nzukọ ahụ otu puku oke ehi, na puku atụrụ asaa. Ndị ozi eze niile nyekwara ha, otu puku oke ehi na puku atụrụ iri. Ọtụtụ ndị nchụaja dooro onwe ha nsọ.
25 And all the congregation, the priests and the Levites, rejoiced, and all the congregation of Juda, and they that were present of Jerusalem, and the strangers that came from the land of Israel, and the dwellers in Juda.
Nʼoge ahụ kwa, oke ọṅụ jupụtara nʼobi ndị Juda niile, na nʼobi ndị nchụaja na ndị Livayị, na nʼobi ndị ọbịa, na ndị sitere ala Izrel bịa.
26 And there was great joy in Jerusalem: from the days of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there was not such a feast in Jerusalem.
Oke ọṅụ jupụtara na Jerusalem nʼihi na site nʼoge Solomọn nwa Devid, eze Izrel ruo nʼoge a, e mebeghị mmemme dị otu a na Jerusalem.
27 Then the priests the Levites rose up and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer came into his holy dwelling-place, [even] into heaven.
Mgbe ahụ, ndị nchụaja na ndị Livayị guzoro gọzie ọha mmadụ ahụ niile. Chineke nụkwara ekpere ha site nʼebe obibi ya dị nsọ nke eluigwe.
