2 Chronicles 30
1 Then Hezekiah sent an announcement to everyone in Israel and Judah, and also sent letters to Ephraim and Manasseh, inviting them to come to the Lord's Temple in Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover of the Lord, the God of Israel.
Hezekiah loh Israel pum neh Judah a tah tih Ephraim neh Manasseh ham khaw Jerusalem kah BOEIPA im la a mop ham neh, Israel Pathen BOEIPA taengah Yoom saii ham te ca a daek pah.
2 The king and his officials and the whole assembly in Jerusalem had decided to observe the Passover in the second month,
A hla bae dongah tah Yoom saii hamla manghai khaw, a mangpa rhoek khaw, Jerusalem kah hlangping boeih khaw a thui uh.
3 because they hadn't been able to observe it at the usual time since not enough priests had purified themselves and the people hadn't had time to get to Jerusalem.
Tedae Yoom te te vaeng tue ah saii hamla noeng uh pawh. Khosoih rhoek khaw a rhoeh hil ciim uh hlan tih pilnam khaw Jerusalem ah tingtun hlan.
4 The plan seemed right to both the king and the whole assembly.
Te vaengah ol he manghai mikhmuh ah khaw, hlangping boeih kah mikhmuh ah khaw dueng ngawn.
5 So they decided to send an announcement to everyone in Israel, from Beersheba to Dan, inviting people to come and keep the Passover to the Lord, the God of Israel, in Jerusalem, for many had not done as the Law required.
A daek bangla a saii uh dae a cungkuem uh pawt dongah, Israel Pathen BOEIPA kah Yoom saii vaengah tah Jerusalem la mop sak ham, Israel pum ah, Beersheba lamloh Dan duela olthang pat ham ol a cak sakuh.
6 So messengers went to all of Israel and Judah carrying letters from the king and his officials and with the king's authorization. They said, “Children of Israel, return to the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, so that he may return to you who are left, who have escaped the oppression of the kings of Assyria.
Manghai neh a mangpa rhoek kut dongkah ca aka yong puei rhoek tah Judah neh Israel pum ah cet uh tih manghai olpaek bangla, “Israel ca rhoek aw, Abraham, Isaak, Israel Pathen BOEIPA taengla mael uh laeh. Te daengah ni nangmih aka sueng rhoek te Assyria manghai kut lamloh loeihnah la a mael eh.
7 Don't be like your fathers and those of you who sinned against the Lord, the God of your forefathers He made them into something horrifying, as you can see.
A napa rhoek kah Pathen BOEIPA taengah boe aka koek na pa rhoek neh na manuca rhoek bangla om uh boeh. Te dongah amih te na hmuh uh bangla imsuep la a khueh.
8 So don't be proud and obstinate like your fathers, but give yourselves to the Lord and come to his sanctuary, which he has made holy forever, and serve the Lord your God, that his fierce anger may no longer fall on you.
Tahae atah na pa rhoek bangla na rhawn te mangkhak sak uh boeh. BOEIPA taengah kut duen uh laeh. Kumhal hamla a ciim tangtae a rhokso kungla ha mop uh lamtah na Pathen BOEIPA taengah thothueng uh. Te daengah ni a thintoek thinsa te nangmih taeng lamloh a mael eh.
9 If you come back to the Lord, your relatives and children will receive mercy from their captors and will return to this land. For the Lord your God is gracious and merciful. He will not reject you if you come back to him.”
BOEIPA taengla na mael uh mak atah na manuca rhoek neh na ca rhoek khaw, amih aka sol rhoek kah mikhmuh ah haidamnah la, te phoeiah he khohmuen la ha mael ni. Nangmih kah Pathen BOEIPA tah lungvatnah neh thinphoei la a om dongah a taengla na mael uh atah nangmih taeng lamloh maelhmai mangthong mahpawh,” a ti nah.
10 The messengers went from town to town all over the land of Ephraim and Manasseh as far as Zebulun; but the people laughed at them and mocked them.
Te phoeiah ca thak la aka om rhoek te khopuei lamloh khopuei khat hil, Ephraim neh Manasseh khohmuen neh Zebulun duela cet uh. Tedae amih aka nueih thil neh amih aka tamdaeng la om uh.
11 Only some men from Asher, Manasseh, and Zebulun weren't too proud to go to Jerusalem.
Te cakhaw Asher lamkah, Manasseh neh Zebulun lamkah hlang rhoek tah kunyun uh tih Jerusalem la pawk uh.
12 At this time the power of God was helping the people in Judah to all have the same desire to follow the orders of the king and his officials, as indicated by the word of the Lord.
BOEIPA ol dongah manghai neh mangpa rhoek olpaek te vai sak ham, amih te lungbuei pakhat la khueh sak ham te Pathen kah kut tah Judah ah om bal coeng.
13 Many people gathered in Jerusalem to celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread in the second month—a really large crowd.
A hla bae dongah tah vaidamding khotue te saii hamla pilnam loh Jerusalem ah muep tingtun uh tih hlangping khaw muep cungkuem uh.
14 They went and removed the pagan altars in Jerusalem as well as the incense altars and threw them into the Kidron Valley.
Te dongah thoo uh tih Jerusalem kah hmueihtuk te a khoe uh. Hlupnah hnopai boeih te khaw a khoe uh tih Kidron soklong la a voeih uh.
15 On the fourteenth day of the second month they killed the Passover lamb. The priests and Levites were ashamed, and they purified themselves and brought burnt offerings to the Lord's Temple.
A hla bae dongkah hnin hlai li vaengah tah Yoom te a ngawn uh. Te vaengah khosoih rhoek neh Levi rhoek tah a hmaithae uh. Te dongah a ciim uh phoeiah hmueihhlutnah te BOEIPA im la a khuen uh.
16 They stood at their assigned positions, according to the law of Moses, the man of God. The priests sprinkled the blood of the sacrifices, which the Levites gave to them.
Pathen kah hlang Moses olkhueng dongkah a laitloeknah bangla amamih paihmuen ah pai uh. Khosoih rhoek loh Levi kut lamkah thii te a haeh uh.
17 Since many people in the assembly had not purified themselves, the Levites had to kill the Passover lambs on behalf of every unclean person to dedicate the lambs to the Lord.
Hlangping lakli ah aka ciim uh pawt khaw muep om. Te dongah aka cim pawt boeih kah Yoom ngawnnah ham neh BOEIPA taengah ciim ham te Levi rhoek loh a hut nah.
18 Most of the people, many of those from Ephraim, Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not purified themselves. Yet they ate the Passover meal even though this was not what the Law required, for Hezekiah had prayed for them, saying, “May the good Lord forgive everyone
A puehkan la pilnam aka ping Ephraim, Manasseh, Issakhar neh Zebulun lamkah tah caihcil uh pawt sitoe cakhaw a daek tangtae neh kalthalh la Yoom a caak uh. Tedae Hezekiah loh amih ham thangthui tih, “BOEIPA aw, a then la dawth pah mai saeh.
19 who sincerely wants to follow the Lord God, the God of their forefathers, even though they're not clean according to the sanctuary requirements.”
Hmuencim kah ciimnah bangla om pawt cakhaw a napa rhoek kah Pathen, Yahweh Pathen te toem hamla a thinko boeih a cikngae sak,” a ti.
20 The Lord accepted Hezekiah's prayer and permitted them this violation.
BOEIPA loh Hezekiah taengkah te a yaak van neh pilnam te a hoeih sak.
21 The people of Israel who were there in Jerusalem celebrated the Feast of Unleavened Bread for seven days with great enthusiasm, and every day the Levites and priests praised the Lord, accompanied by loud instruments.
Jerusalem ah aka mop Israel ca rhoek loh hnin rhih khuiah vaidamding khotue te a saii uh. Hnin bal hnin bal BOEIPA taengah kohoenah a len neh a thangthen uh. Khosoih neh Levi rhoek loh BOEIPA te a sarhi tumbael neh a thangthenuh.
22 Hezekiah spoke positively to all the Levites who showed a good understanding of the Lord. For seven days they ate the food that was assigned to them, presented friendship offerings, and gave thanks to the Lord, the God of their forefathers.
BOEIPA kah lungmingnah then neh aka cangbam Levi pum kah lungbuei ah Hezekiah loh a thui pah. Te dongah hnin rhih tingtunnah khuiah tah rhoepnah hmueih la a nawn te a caak uh tih a napa rhoek kah Pathen BOEIPA te a uem uh.
23 Everyone then agreed to continue to celebrate the festival for seven more days. So for another seven days they celebrated, full of joy.
Te phoeiah hnin rhih koep saii ham te hlangping boeih loh a thui dongah kohoenah neh hnin rhih a saii uh.
24 Hezekiah, king of Judah, gave a thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep as offerings on behalf of the assembly. The officials in turn gave a thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep on as offerings on behalf of the assembly. A large number of priests purified themselves.
Judah manghai Hezekiah loh hlangping ham vaito thawng khat, boiva thawng rhih a pom pah. Mangpa rhoek long khaw hlangping ham te vaito thawng khat, boiva thawng rha a pom pah tih khosoih rhoek te a cungkuem la a ciim uh.
25 The whole assembly of Judah celebrated, together with the priests and Levites, and also with the whole assembly that had come from Israel, including the foreigners from Israel and those living in Judah.
Te vaengah Judah hlangping boeih khaw, khosoih neh Levi rhoek khaw, Israel lamkah aka pawk hlangping boeih neh Israel khohmuen lamkah aka pawk yinlai khaw, Judah kah khosa rhoek kaw a kohoe uh.
26 There was such tremendous happiness in Jerusalem, for since the time of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel, nothing like this had happened in the city.
Te dongah Jerusalem ah kohoenah a len om coeng. Israel manghai David capa Solomon tue lamloh he bang he Jerusalem ah a om noek moenih.
27 The priests and the Levites stood up to bless the people, and God heard them—their prayer ascended to where he lived in heaven.
Levi khosoih rhoek te pai uh tih pilnam yoethen a paekuh. Amih kah thangthuinah loh a hmuencim kah khuirhung vaan duela a pha dongah amih ol te a hnatun pah.
