2 Chronicles 30

1 And Hezekiah sent to all Israel, and Iudah, and also wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the Lord at Ierusalem, to keepe the Passeouer vnto the Lord God of Israel.

Na ka tono tangata a Hetekia ki a Iharaira katoa raua ko Hura; i tuhituhia ano e ia he pukapuka ki a Eparaima raua ko Manahi kia haere mai ki te whare o Ihowa ki Hiruharama, ki te mahi i te kapenga a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira.

2 And the King and his princes and all the Congregation had taken counsel in Ierusalem to keepe the Passeouer in the second moneth.

Kua oti hoki te whakaaro te whakatakoto e te kingi, ratou ko ana rangatira, ko te whakaminenga katoa i Hiruharama, kia mahia te kapenga i te rua o nga marama.

3 For they could not keepe it at this time, because there were not Priests enow sanctified, neither was the people gathered to Ierusalem.

Kihai hoki i ahei te mahi i taua wa, no te mea kiano i ata rite te tokomaha o nga tohunga i whakatapua; kiano hoki te iwi i huihui ki Hiruharama.

4 And the thing pleased the King, and all the Congregation.

A tika tonu taua mea ki te titiro a te kingi, ki te titiro ano a te whakaminenga katoa.

5 And they decreed to make proclamation throughout all Israel from Beersheba euen to Dan, that they should come to keepe the Passeouer vnto the Lord God of Israel at Ierusalem: for they had not done it of a great time, as it was written.

Heoi ka whakatakotoria te korero kia karangatia nuitia puta noa i a Iharaira i Peerehepa atu a tae noa ki Rana, kia haere mai ki te mahi i te kapenga a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira ki Hiruharama: kihai ano hoki i mahia peratia e te nui tangata me te mea i tuhituhia.

6 So the postes went with letters by the commission of the King, and his princes, thorowout all Israel and Iudah, and with the commandement of the King, saying, Ye children of Israel, turne againe vnto the Lord God of Abraham, Izhak, and Israel, and he will returne to the remnant that are escaped of you, out of ye hands of the Kings of Asshur.

Heoi haere ana nga kaikawe i nga pukapuka a te kingi ratou ko ana rangatira puta noa i a Iharaira raua ko Hura, pera ana me ta te kingi i whakahau ai; hei ki atu, E nga tama a Iharaira, hoki mai ki a Ihowa ki te Atua o Aperahama, o Ihaka, o Ihara ira, a ka hoki mai ia ki nga morehu o koutou i mawhiti nei i te ringa o nga kingi o Ahiria.

7 And be not ye like your fathers, and like your brethren, which trespassed against the Lord God of their fathers: and therfore he made them desolate, as ye see.

Kei rite hoki ki o koutou matua, ki o koutou tuakana, teina, i he nei ki a Ihowa, ki te Atua o o ratou matua; na tukua ana ratou e ia ki te whakangaro; koia ano tena ka kitea na e koutou.

8 Be not ye now stiffenecked like your fathers, but giue the hand to the Lord, and come into his sanctuarie, which he hath sanctified for euer, and serue the Lord your God, and the fiercenesse of his wrath shall turne away from you.

Na kaua e whakapakeketia o koutou kaki, kei rite ki o koutou matua; engari e tuku i a koutou ki a Ihowa, ka tomo ki tona wahi tapu i whakatapua nei e ia mo ake tonu atu: e mahi ki a Ihowa, ki to koutou Atua, a ka tahuri atu i a koutou tona riri e mura nei.

9 For if ye returne vnto the Lord, your brethren and your children shall finde mercy before them that led them captiues, and they shall returne vnto this lande: for the Lord your God is gracious and mercifull, and will not turne away his face from you, if ye conuert vnto him.

Ki te tahuri hoki koutou ki a Ihowa, ka tohungia o koutou tuakana, teina, me a koutou tamariki e nga tangata nana ratou i whakarau, a ka hoki mai ratou ki tenei whenua; he atawhai hoki, he mahi tohu ta Ihowa, ta to koutou Atua; e kore hoki tona m ata e tahuri ke i a koutou, ki te hoki koutou ki a ia.

10 So the postes went from citie to citie thorow the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, euen vnto Zebulun: but they laughed them to scorne, and mocked them.

Heoi haere ana nga kaikawe pukapuka i tenei pa ki tenei pa puta noa i te whenua o Eparaima, o Manahi, a tae noa ki Hepurona. Otiia kataina iho ratou, tawaia iho.

11 Neuerthelesse diuers of Asher, and Manasseh, and of Zebulun submitted themselues, and came to Ierusalem.

I whakaiti ia etahi tangata o Ahera, o Manahi, o Hepurona, i a ratou, a haere ana ki Hiruharama.

12 And the hand of God was in Iudah, so that he gaue them one heart to doe the commandement of the King, and of the rulers, according to the worde of the Lord.

I runga ano hoki i a Hura te ringa o te Atua hei homai i te ngakau kotahi ki a ratou ko nga rangatira i whakahau ai, ara i ta Ihowa i ki ai.

13 And there assembled to Ierusalem much people, to keepe the feast of ye vnleauened bread in the second moneth, a very great assemblie.

Na he nui te iwi i huihui ki Hiruharama ki te mahi i te hakari o te taro rewenakore i te rua o nga marama, nui atu te whakaminenga.

14 And they arose, and tooke away the altars that were in Ierusalem: and all those for incense tooke they away, and cast them into the brooke Kidron.

Na whakatika ana ratou, kei te tango i nga aata i Hiruharama, kei te tango ano i nga aata tahu whakakakara, a maka ana ki te awa ki Kitirono.

15 Afterwarde they slewe the Passeouer the fourteenth day of the seconde moneth: and the Priestes and Leuites were ashamed, and sanctified themselues, and brought the burnt offrings into the house of the Lord.

Katahi ka patua te kapenga i te tekau ma wha o te rua o nga marama. A i whakama nga tohunga ratou ko nga Riwaiti, a whakatapua ana ratou e ratou ano, kawea ana e ratou he tahunga tinana ki te whare o Ihowa.

16 And they stoode in their place after their maner, according to the Lawe of Moses the man of God: and the Priestes sprinkled the blood, receiued of the handes of the Leuites.

A tu ana ratou i to ratou turanga, i te wahi i whakaritea mo ratou, pera ana me ta te ture a Mohi, a ta te Atua tangata: ko nga tohunga hei tauhi i nga toto, ko nga Riwaiti hei homai.

17 Because there were many in the Congregation that were not sanctified, therefore the Leuites had the charge of the killing of ye Passeouer for all that were not cleane, to sanctifie it to the Lord.

He tokomaha hoki i roto i te whakaminenga kihai nei i whakatapu i a ratou: heoi ko nga Riwaiti hei patu i nga kapenga ma te hunga katoa kihai i purea, hei whakatapu i a ratou ki a Ihowa.

18 For a multitude of the people, euen a multitude of Ephraim, and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun had not cleansed themselues, yet did eate the Passeouer, but not as it was written: wherefore Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, The good Lord be mercifull toward him,

He tokomaha hoki o te iwi, ara he tokomaha no Eparaima, no Manahi, no Ihakara, no Hepurona, kihai i pure i a ratou, heoi kai ana ratou i te kapenga he mea kihai i rite ki ta te tuhituhi. Otiia i inoi a Hetekia mo ratou, i mea, Ma Ihowa, ma te Me a pai e muru te he o nga tangata katoa,

19 That prepareth his whole heart to seeke the Lord God, the God of his fathers, though he be not cleansed, according to the purification of the Sanctuarie.

E whakapai ana i o ratou ngakau ki te rapu i te Atua, i a Ihowa, i te Atua o o ratou matua, ko to ratou purenga ia kihai i rite ki to te wahi tapu.

20 And the Lord heard Hezekiah, and healed the people.

Na, ka whakarongo a Ihowa ki a Hetekia, a whakaorangia ana e ia te iwi.

21 And the children of Israel that were present at Ierusalem, kept the feast of the vnleauened bread seuen dayes with great ioye, and the Leuites, and the Priestes praysed the Lord, day by day, singing with loude instruments vnto the Lord.

A mahia ana e nga tama a Iharaira i kitea ki Hiruharama te hakari taro rewenakore, e whitu nga ra, nui atu te koa; whakamoemititia ana a Ihowa e nga Riwaiti ratou ko nga tohunga i tenei ra, i tenei ra, me te waiata ano i runga i nga mea tangi nu i, he mea ki a Ihowa.

22 And Hezekiah spake comfortably vnto all the Leuites that had good knowledge to sing vnto the Lord: and they did eate in that feast seuen dayes, and offred peace offrings, and praysed the Lord God of their fathers.

A i whakamarie a Hetekia i nga ngakau o nga Riwaiti katoa i mohio pai nei ki te ritenga o te mahi ki a Ihowa, a kai ana ratou i te kai o taua hakari, e whitu nga ra, patua ana e ratou nga whakahere mo te pai, whaki ana ki a Ihowa, ki te Atua o o ratou matua.

23 And the whole assembly tooke counsel to keepe it other seuen dayes. So they kept it seuen dayes with ioy.

Na ka whakatakotoria te whakaaro e te whakaminenga katoa, kia mahia etahi atu ra e whitu. A koa ana ratou i a ratou e mahi ana i aua ra e whitu.

24 For Hezekiah King of Iudah had giuen to the Congregation a thousande bullockes, and seuen thousand sheepe. And the princes had giuen to the Congregation a thousand bullocks, and ten thousand sheepe: and many Priests were sanctified.

I homai hoki e Hetekia kingi o Hura ki te whakaminenga hei whakahere etahi puru kotahi mano, etahi hipi e whitu mano; i homai ano e nga rangatira ki te whakaminenga etahi puru kotahi mano, etahi hipi tekau mano. He tokomaha ano hoki nga tohunga i whakatapu i a ratou.

25 And all the Congregation of Iudah reioyced with the Priestes and the Leuites, and all the Congregation that came out of Israel, and the strangers that came out of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Iudah.

Na koa tonu te whakaminenga katoa o Hura, ratou ko nga tohunga, ko nga Riwaiti, me te whakaminenga katoa i haere mai nei i a Iharaira me nga manene i haere mai nei i te whenua o Iharaira ki Hura noho ai.

26 So there was great ioye in Ierusalem: for since the time of Salomon the sonne of Dauid King of Israel there was not the like thing in Ierusalem.

Heoi he nui te koa i Hiruharama, no te mea no nga ra ano o Horomona tama a Rawiri kingi o Iharaira kahore he penei me tenei i Hiruharama.

27 Then the Priests and the Leuites arose, and blessed the people, and their voyce was heard, and their prayer came vp vnto heauen, to his holy habitation.

Hatahi ka whakatika nga tohunga, nga Riwaiti, a manaakitia ana e ratou te iwi, a i rangona to ratou reo, i tae atu ano hoki ta ratou inoi ki tona nohoanga tapu, ki te rangi.
