< 2 Chronicles 30 >

1 And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, to keep the passover unto the LORD God of Israel.
misit quoque Ezechias ad omnem Israhel et Iudam scripsitque epistulas ad Ephraim et Manassem ut venirent ad domum Domini in Hierusalem et facerent phase Domino Deo Israhel
2 For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, to keep the passover in the second month.
inito ergo consilio regis et principum et universi coetus Hierusalem decreverunt ut facerent phase mense secundo
3 For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves sufficiently, neither had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem.
non enim occurrerant facere in tempore suo quia sacerdotes qui possent sufficere sanctificati non fuerant et populus necdum congregatus erat in Hierusalem
4 And the thing pleased the king and all the congregation.
placuitque sermo regi et omni multitudini
5 So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beer-sheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the passover unto the LORD God of Israel at Jerusalem: for they had not done [it] of a long [time in such sort] as it was written.
et decreverunt ut mitterent nuntios in universum Israhel de Bersabee usque Dan ut venirent et facerent phase Domino Deo Israhel in Hierusalem multi enim non fecerant sicut lege praescriptum est
6 So the posts went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, Ye children of Israel, turn again unto the LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you, that are escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.
perrexeruntque cursores cum epistulis ex regis imperio et principum eius in universum Israhel et Iudam iuxta quod rex iusserat praedicantes filii Israhel revertimini ad Dominum Deum Abraham et Isaac et Israhel et revertetur ad reliquias quae effugerunt manum regis Assyriorum
7 And be not ye like your fathers, and like your brethren, which trespassed against the LORD God of their fathers, [who] therefore gave them up to desolation, as ye see.
nolite fieri sicut patres vestri et fratres qui recesserunt a Domino Deo patrum suorum et tradidit eos in interitum ut ipsi cernitis
8 Now be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers [were, but] yield yourselves unto the LORD, and enter into his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified for ever: and serve the LORD your God, that the fierceness of his wrath may turn away from you.
nolite indurare cervices vestras sicut patres vestri tradite manus Domino et venite ad sanctuarium eius quod sanctificavit in aeternum servite Domino Deo patrum vestrorum et avertetur a vobis ira furoris eius
9 For if ye turn again unto the LORD, your brethren and your children [shall find] compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they shall come again into this land: for the LORD your God [is] gracious and merciful, and will not turn away [his] face from you, if ye return unto him.
si enim vos reversi fueritis ad Dominum fratres vestri et filii habebunt misericordiam coram dominis suis qui illos duxere captivos et revertentur in terram hanc pius enim et clemens est Dominus Deus vester et non avertet faciem suam a vobis si reversi fueritis ad eum
10 So the posts passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh even unto Zebulun: but they laughed them to scorn, and mocked them.
igitur cursores pergebant velociter de civitate in civitatem per terram Ephraim et Manasse usque Zabulon illis inridentibus et subsannantibus eos
11 Nevertheless divers of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem.
attamen quidam viri ex Aser et Manasse et Zabulon adquiescentes consilio venerunt Hierusalem
12 Also in Judah the hand of God was to give them one heart to do the commandment of the king and of the princes, by the word of the LORD.
in Iuda vero facta est manus Domini ut daret eis cor unum et facerent iuxta praeceptum regis et principum verbum Domini
13 And there assembled at Jerusalem much people to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.
congregatique sunt in Hierusalem populi multi ut facerent sollemnitatem azymorum in mense secundo
14 And they arose and took away the altars that [were] in Jerusalem, and all the altars for incense took they away, and cast [them] into the brook Kidron.
et surgentes destruxerunt altaria quae erant in Hierusalem atque universa in quibus idolis adolebatur incensum subvertentes proiecerunt in torrentem Cedron
15 Then they killed the passover on the fourteenth [day] of the second month: and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought in the burnt offerings into the house of the LORD.
immolaverunt autem phase quartadecima die mensis secundi sacerdotes quoque atque Levitae tandem sanctificati obtulerunt holocausta in domo Domini
16 And they stood in their place after their manner, according to the law of Moses the man of God: the priests sprinkled the blood, [which they received] of the hand of the Levites.
steteruntque in ordine suo iuxta dispositionem et legem Mosi hominis Dei sacerdotes vero suscipiebant effundendum sanguinem de manibus Levitarum
17 For [there were] many in the congregation that were not sanctified: therefore the Levites had the charge of the killing of the passovers for every one [that was] not clean, to sanctify [them] unto the LORD.
eo quod multa turba sanctificata non esset et idcirco Levitae immolarent phase his qui non occurrerant sanctificari Domino
18 For a multitude of the people, [even] many of Ephraim, and Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet did they eat the passover otherwise than it was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, The good LORD pardon every one
magna etiam pars populi de Ephraim et Manasse et Isachar et Zabulon quae sanctificata non fuerat comedit phase non iuxta quod scriptum est et oravit pro eis Ezechias dicens Dominus bonus propitiabitur
19 [That] prepareth his heart to seek God, the LORD God of his fathers, though [he be] not [cleansed] according to the purification of the sanctuary.
cunctis qui in toto corde requirunt Dominum Deum patrum suorum et non inputabit eis quod minus sanctificati sunt
20 And the LORD hearkened to Hezekiah, and healed the people.
quem exaudivit Dominus et placatus est populo
21 And the children of Israel that were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness: and the Levites and the priests praised the LORD day by day, [singing] with loud instruments unto the LORD.
feceruntque filii Israhel qui inventi sunt in Hierusalem sollemnitatem azymorum septem diebus in laetitia magna laudantes Dominum per singulos dies Levitae quoque et sacerdotes per organa quae suo officio congruebant
22 And Hezekiah spake comfortably unto all the Levites that taught the good knowledge of the LORD: and they did eat throughout the feast seven days, offering peace offerings, and making confession to the LORD God of their fathers.
et locutus est Ezechias ad cor omnium Levitarum qui habebant intellegentiam bonam super Domino et comederunt septem diebus sollemnitatis immolantes victimas pacificorum et laudantes Dominum Deum patrum suorum
23 And the whole assembly took counsel to keep other seven days: and they kept [other] seven days with gladness.
placuitque universae multitudini ut celebrarent etiam alios dies septem quod et fecerunt cum ingenti gaudio
24 For Hezekiah king of Judah did give to the congregation a thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the congregation a thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep: and a great number of priests sanctified themselves.
Ezechias enim rex Iuda praebuerat multitudini mille tauros et septem milia ovium principes vero dederant populo tauros mille et oves decem milia sanctificata ergo est sacerdotum plurima multitudo
25 And all the congregation of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the congregation that came out of Israel, and the strangers that came out of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Judah, rejoiced.
et hilaritate perfusa omnis turba Iuda tam sacerdotum et Levitarum quam universae frequentiae quae venerat ex Israhel proselytorum quoque de terra Israhel et habitantium in Iuda
26 So there was great joy in Jerusalem: for since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel [there was] not the like in Jerusalem.
factaque est grandis celebritas in Hierusalem qualis a diebus Salomonis filii David regis Israhel in ea urbe non fuerat
27 Then the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer came [up] to his holy dwelling place, [even] unto heaven.
surrexerunt autem sacerdotes atque Levitae benedicentes populo et exaudita est vox eorum pervenitque oratio in habitaculum sanctum caeli
