< 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 el supwalik kas nu fin acn Israel ac Judah nufon, ac el oayapa simusla leta ac supwala nu sin sruf lal Ephraim ac sruf lal Manasseh, tuh elos in tuku nu ke Tempul in Jerusalem, in oru Kufwen Alukela nu sin LEUM GOD lun Israel.
2 The king and his officials and the whole assembly in Jerusalem had decided to observe the Passover in the second month,
Tokosra ac mwet pwapa lal, ac mwet nukewa su tukeni in acn Jerusalem, elos insesela tuh Kufwen Alukela in orek ke malem se akluo.
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.
Elos tuh tia ku in oru ke pacl fal, ke sripen supus mwet tol su aknasnasyeyukla, ac oayapa supus mwet toeni nu Jerusalem.
4 The plan seemed right to both the king and the whole assembly.
Tokosra ac mwet uh insewowo ke oakwuk se elos orala inge.
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.
Ke ma inge, elos suli mwet Israel nukewa, liki Dan in acn epang nwe Beersheba in acn eir, tuh elos in tukeni nu Jerusalem ac akfulatye Kufwen Alukela in fal nu ke Ma Sap. Enenu in pus mwet tukeni in pacl se inge liki pacl nukewa meet.
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.
Tokosra ac mwet pwapa lal elos supwala mwet utuk kas nu yen nukewa in Judah ac Israel. Pa inge ma elos sulkakin: “Mwet Israel, kowos moulla liki poun mwet Assyria ke elos tuh mweuni ac kutangla facl sesr. Inge kowos foloko nu yurin LEUM GOD lal Abraham, Isaac, ac Jacob, ac El ac fah folokot nu yuruwos.
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.
Nimet oana papa tomowos ac mwet Israel wiowos su tia pwaye nu sin LEUM GOD lalos. Kowos sifacna liye lah El sang kai upa nu selos.
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.
Nik kowos likkeke oana elos, a kowos in akos LEUM GOD. Fahsru nu ke Tempul in acn Jerusalem, yen LEUM GOD lowos El orala in mutal nwe tok, ac alu nu sel, tuh Elan tia sifil kasrkusrak suwos.
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.”
Kowos fin foloko nu yurin LEUM GOD na mwet su usla mwet wiowos nu in sruoh elos ac fah pakomutalos ac folokunulos nu yen selos. LEUM GOD lowos El kulang ac pakoten, ac kowos fin foloko nu yorol, El ac fah tia ngetla liki kowos.”
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.
Mwet utuk kas elos som nu in siti nukewa in acn lun sruf lal Ephraim ac Manasseh, ac elos som na nwe layen epang nu ke sruf lal Zebulun, a mwet we isrunulos ac aksruksrukelos.
11 Only some men from Asher, Manasseh, and Zebulun weren't too proud to go to Jerusalem.
Tusruktu oasr na mwet in sruf lal Asher, Manasseh, ac Zebulun, su lungse tuku nu Jerusalem.
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.
God El oayapa oru tuh mwet in acn Judah in nunak sefanna ac engan in oru ma lungse lal ke elos akos ma tokosra ac mwet pwapa lal sapkin nu selos.
13 Many people gathered in Jerusalem to celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread in the second month—a really large crowd.
Mwet puspis tukeni nu Jerusalem in malem akluo in akfulatye Kufwen Bread Tia Akpulol.
14 They went and removed the pagan altars in Jerusalem as well as the incense altars and threw them into the Kidron Valley.
Elos usla loang nukewa in Jerusalem su tuh orekmakinyuk nu ke kisa ac nu ke akosak ma keng, ac sisla Infahlfal Kidron.
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.
Ac ke len aksingoul akosr in malem sac, elos uniya sheep fusr nu ke Kufwen Alukela. Mwet tol ac mwet Levi su tia aknasnasla elos mwekin, na elos sifacna kisakunulosyang nu sin LEUM GOD, na toko elos fah ku in kisakin mwe kisa firir in Tempul.
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.
Elos tu ke acn selos in Tempul, fal nu ke ma oakwuk in Ma Sap lal Moses, mwet lun God. Mwet Levi elos sang nu sin mwet tol srah ke ma kisakinyukla, tuh elos in sang aksroksrokye loang 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.
Na ke sripen pus mwet uh tia aknasnasla, elos tia ku in uniya sheep fusr nu ke Kufwen Alukela. Ouinge mwet Levi elos aolulos in orala, ac kisakunla sheep fusr inge nu sin LEUM GOD.
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
Sayen ma inge, pus sin mwet su tuku in sruf lal Ephraim, Manasseh, Issachar, ac Zebulun, tiana aknasnasla, tusruktu elos wi mongo ke kufwa uh, ac ma inge sie liki ma oakwuk in ma simusla. Tokosra Hezekiah el pre kaclos ac fahk,
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.”
“O LEUM GOD lun papa matu tumasr, ke lungkulang lulap lom, nunak munas nu selos inge su alu nu sum ke insialos kewa, elos finne tia aknasnasyalos.”
20 The Lord accepted Hezekiah's prayer and permitted them this violation.
LEUM GOD El lohng pre lal Hezekiah, ac El nunak munas nu selos.
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.
Mwet su tukeni in acn Jerusalem, elos akfulatye Kufwen Bread Tia Akpulol ke len itkosr ac elos engan ma lulap. Len nu len mwet Levi ac mwet tol elos kaksakin LEUM GOD ke kuiyalos nufon.
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.
Hezekiah el kaksakin mwet Levi ke elos arulana pah in kol alu nu sin LEUM GOD. Tukun len itkosr ma elos oru kisa in kaksak lalos nu sin LEUM GOD lun mwet matu lalos meet ah,
23 Everyone then agreed to continue to celebrate the festival for seven more days. So for another seven days they celebrated, full of joy.
na elos nukewa insese in sifilpa oru akfulat lalos ke len itkosr pac, ouinge elos tafwela akfulat lalos wi engan lulap.
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.
Tokosra Hezekiah el sang sie tausin cow mukul ac itkosr tausin sheep tuh mwet uh in uniya ac mongo kac. Ac mwet pwapa lal srukak pac sie tausin cow mukul ac singoul tausin sheep. Sie u na lulap sin mwet tol elos aknasnasyalosla sifacna.
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.
Ouinge mwet nukewa engan — mwet Judah, mwet tol, mwet Levi, mwet su tuku in acn epang me, oayapa mwetsac su mutana in acn Israel ac Judah.
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.
Siti Jerusalem sessesla ke engan, mweyen soenna oasr pacl ma ouiya inge orek oe ke pacl lal Tokosra Solomon, wen natul David, nwe inge.
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.
Mwet tol ac mwet Levi siyuk ke akinsewowo lun LEUM GOD nu sin mwet uh. LEUM GOD El muta in acn sel inkusrao ac lohng pre lalos, ac El insese nu kac.
