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.
Misit quoque Ezechias ad omnem Israel et Iudam: scripsitque epistolas ad Ephraim et Manassen ut venirent ad domum Domini in Ierusalem, et facerent Phase Domino Deo Israel.
2 And the king takes counsel, and his heads, and all the assembly in Jerusalem, to make the Passover in the second month,
Inito ergo consilio regis et principum, et universi cœtus Ierusalem, decreverunt ut facerent Phase mense secundo.
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.
Non enim potuerant facere in tempore suo, quia sacerdotes, qui possent sufficere, sanctificati non fuerant, et populus nondum congregatus fuerat in Ierusalem.
4 And the thing is right in the eyes of the king, and in the eyes of all the assembly,
Placuitque sermo regi, et omni multitudini.
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.
Et decreverunt ut mitterent nuncios in universum Israel de Bersabee usque Dan ut venirent, et facerent Phase Domino Deo Israel in Ierusalem: multi enim non fecerant sicut lege præscriptum est.
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;
Perrexeruntque cursores cum epistolis ex regis imperio, et principum eius, in universum Israel et Iudam iuxta id, quod rex iusserat, prædicantes: Filii Israel revertimini ad Dominum Deum Abraham, et Isaac, et Israel: et revertetur ad reliquias, quæ effugerunt manum regis Assyriorum.
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.
Nolite fieri sicut patres vestri, et fratres qui recesserunt a Domino Deo patrum suorum, qui tradidit eos in interitum, ut ipsi cernitis.
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;
Nolite indurare cervices vestras, sicut patres vestri: tradite manus Domino, et venite ad sanctuarium eius, quod sanctificavit in æternum: servite Domino Deo patrum vestrorum, et avertetur a vobis ira furoris eius.
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.”
Si enim vos reversi fueritis ad Dominum: fratres vestri, et filii habebunt misericordiam coram dominis suis, qui illos duxerunt 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 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,
Igitur cursores pergebant velociter de civitate in civitatem per terram Ephraim, et Manasse usque ad Zabulon, illis irridentibus et subsannantibus eos.
11 only, certain from Asher, and Manasseh, and from Zebulun, have been humbled, and come to Jerusalem.
Attamen quidam viri ex Aser, et Manasse, et Zabulon acquiescentes consilio, venerunt Ierusalem.
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;
In Iuda vero facta est manus Domini ut daret eis cor unum, ut facerent iuxta præceptum regis, et principum verbum Domini.
13 and many people are gathered to Jerusalem to make the Celebration of Unleavened Things in the second month—a mighty assembly for multitude.
Congregatique sunt in Ierusalem populi multi ut facerent sollemnitatem azymorum, in mense secundo:
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;
et surgentes destruxerunt altaria quæ erant in Ierusalem, atque universa, in quibus idolis adolebatur incensum, subvertentes, proiecerunt in Torrentem cedron.
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.
Immolaverunt autem Phase quartadecima die mensis secundi. Sacerdotes quoque, atque Levitæ tandem sanctificati obtulerunt holocausta in domo Domini:
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,
Steteruntque in ordine suo iuxta dispositionem, et legem Moysi hominis Dei: Sacerdotes vero suscipiebant effundendum sanguinem de manibus Levitarum,
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:
eo quod multa turba sanctificata non esset: et idcirco immolarent Levitæ Phase his, qui non occurrerant sanctificari Domino.
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
Magna etiam pars populi de Ephraim, et Manasse, et Issachar, et Zabulon, quæ sanctificata non fuerat, comedit Phase, non iuxta quod scriptum est: et oravit pro eis Ezechias, dicens: Dominus bonus propitiabitur
19 who has prepared his heart to seek God—YHWH, God of his fathers—yet not according to the cleansing of the holy place”;
cunctis, qui in toto corde requirunt Dominum Deum patrum suorum: et non imputabit eis quod minus sanctificati sunt.
20 and YHWH listens to Hezekiah and heals the people.
Quem exaudivit Dominus, et placatus est populo.
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.
Feceruntque filii Israel, qui inventi sunt in Ierusalem, sollemnitatem azymorum septem diebus in lætitia magna, laudantes Dominum per singulos dies: Levitæ quoque, et Sacerdotes per organa, quæ suo officio congruebant.
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.
Et locutus est Ezechias ad cor omnium Levitarum, qui habebant intelligentiam bonam super Domino: et comederunt septem diebus sollemnitatis, immolantes victimas pacificorum, et laudantes Dominum Deum patrum suorum.
23 And all the assembly take counsel to keep [it] another seven days, and they keep [it for] seven days [with] joy;
Placuitque universæ multitudini ut celebrarent etiam alios dies septem: quod et fecerunt cum ingenti gaudio.
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.
Ezechias enim rex Iuda præbuerat multitudini mille tauros, et septem millia ovium: principes vero dederant populo tauros mille, et oves decem millia: sanctificata est ergo sacerdotum plurima multitudo.
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,
Et hilaritate perfusa omnis turba Iuda tam Sacerdotum et Levitarum, quam universæ frequentiæ, quæ venerat ex Israel; proselytorum quoque de Terra Israel, et habitantium in Iuda.
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,
Factaque est grandis celebritas in Ierusalem, qualis a diebus Salomonis filii David regis Israel in ea urbe non fuerat.
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.
Surrexerunt autem Sacerdotes atque Levitæ benedicentes populo: et exaudita est vox eorum: pervenitque oratio in habitaculum sanctum cæli.
