2 Chronicles 30
1 And Hezekiah sends to all Israel and Judah, and he has also written letters to Ephraim and Manasseh, [to cause them] to come to the house of YHWH in Jerusalem, to make a Passover to YHWH, 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 And the king takes counsel, and his heads, and all the assembly in Jerusalem, to make 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 have not been able to make it at that time, for the priests have not sanctified themselves sufficiently, and the people have not been 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 thing is right in the eyes of the king, and in the eyes of all the assembly,
Eze na Izrel niile nwere otu mkpebi ime ya otu a.
5 and they establish the thing, to cause an intimation to pass over into all Israel, from Beer-Sheba even to Dan, to come to make a Passover to YHWH, God of Israel, in Jerusalem; for they had not done as it is written for a long time.
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 runners go with letters from the hand of the king and his heads into all Israel and Judah, even according to the command of the king, saying, “O sons of Israel, turn back to YHWH, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and He turns back to the escaped part that is left of you from the hand of the kings of Asshur;
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 do not be like your fathers and like your brothers, who trespassed against YHWH, God of their fathers, and He gives them 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 Now do not harden your neck like your fathers, give a hand to YHWH, and come into His sanctuary that He has sanctified for all time, and serve your God YHWH, and the fierceness of His anger turns back 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 in your turning back to YHWH, your brothers and your sons have mercies before their captors, even to return to this land, for your God YHWH [is] gracious and merciful, and He does not turn aside the face from you if you turn back 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 And the runners are passing over from city to city in the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, even to Zebulun, but they are laughing at them and mocking at 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 only, certain from Asher, and Manasseh, and from Zebulun, have been humbled, and come to Jerusalem.
Ma otu ọ dị, ụfọdụ ndị si nʼebo Asha na Manase, na Zebụlọn wedatara onwe ha ala, bịa Jerusalem.
12 Also, in Judah the hand of God has been to give one heart to them to do the command of the king and of the heads in the matter of YHWH;
Ma aka Chineke dịnyere ndị Juda inye ha otu obi, ime ihe eze na ndịisi ya nyere nʼiwu, site nʼokwu Onyenwe anyị.
13 and many people are gathered to Jerusalem to make the Celebration of Unleavened Things in the second month—a mighty assembly for multitude.
Ya mere, ọtụtụ mmadụ bịara Jerusalem nʼọnwa nke abụọ nke afọ ahụ, maka mmemme achịcha ekoghị eko.
14 And they arise and turn aside the altars that [are] in Jerusalem, and they have turned aside all the incense altars, and cast [them] into the Brook of Kidron;
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 and they slaughter the Passover-offering on the fourteenth of the second month, and the priests and the Levites have been ashamed, and sanctify themselves, and bring in burnt-offerings to the house of YHWH.
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 stand on their station according to their ordinance, according to the Law of Moses the man of God; the priests are sprinkling the blood out of 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 many [are] in the assembly who have not sanctified themselves, and the Levites [are] over the slaughtering of the Passover-offerings for everyone not clean, to sanctify [him] to YHWH:
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 a multitude of the people, many from Ephraim, and Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, have not been cleansed, but have eaten the Passover otherwise than it is written; but Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, “YHWH, who [is] good, receives atonement for everyone
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 who has prepared his heart to seek God—YHWH, God of his fathers—yet not according to the cleansing of the holy place”;
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 YHWH listens to Hezekiah and heals the people.
Onyenwe anyị nụrụ ekpere Hezekaya gwọọkwa ha.
21 And the sons of Israel, those found in Jerusalem, make the Celebration of Unleavened Things [for] seven days with great joy; and the Levites and the priests are giving praise to YHWH day by day with instruments of praise before YHWH.
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 Hezekiah speaks to the heart of all the Levites, those giving good understanding concerning YHWH, and they eat the appointed thing [for] seven days; sacrificing sacrifices of peace-offerings, and making confession to YHWH, 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 all the assembly take counsel to keep [it] another seven days, and they keep [it for] seven days [with] joy;
Nʼihi oke ọṅụ ha niile nwere, ha kpebiri ime mmemme ahụ gaa nʼihu ụbọchị asaa ọzọ.
24 for Hezekiah king of Judah has presented one thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep to the assembly; and the heads have presented one thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep to the assembly; and priests sanctify themselves in abundance.
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 assembly of Judah rejoices, and the priests, and the Levites, and all the assembly, those coming in from Israel, and the sojourners—those coming in from the land of Israel and those dwelling in Judah,
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 is great joy in Jerusalem; for from the days of Solomon son of David, king of Israel, there is not like this 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 and the priests, the Levites, rise and bless the people, and their voice is heard, and their prayer comes into His holy habitation in the heavens.
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.
