< 2 Chronicles 30 >

1 The king and his officials and all the other people who had gathered in Jerusalem wanted to celebrate the Passover Festival. But they were not able to celebrate it at the usual time, because many of the priests had still not performed the rituals to purify themselves; therefore they were not allowed to do serve in the festival. Also, everyone had still not come to Jerusalem [to celebrate the Passover]. So they decided to celebrate it one month later than usual.

Bai gobele salasu dunu oda mogili da nigima: hame dodofei galu, amola dunudafa bagahame fawane da Yelusalemega gilisi ba: i.

4 The king and all the other people who had gathered thought that was a good plan.
Hina bagade amola dunu huluane da ilia ilegei amoga hahawane galu.
5 So they decided to send messages to all the towns in Judah and in Israel, from Beersheba [in the far south] to Dan [in the far north], including towns in the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh, to invite people to come to the temple in Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover [Festival] to [honor] Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli people [worshiped/belonged to]. Many of the people had not previously celebrated that festival, even though it had been written [in the laws of Moses that they should do that].
Amaiba: le, ilia da Isala: ili fi dunu, amo da Da: ne ga (north) fi dunu asili Biasiba ga (south) fi dunu, huluane gilisili Baligisu Lolo Nasu, Hina Gode Ea Sema defele hamona misa: ne hiougi.
6 Obeying what the king commanded, messengers went throughout Judah and Israel, taking messages that had been written by the king and his officials. This is what they wrote: “You Israeli people, you who survived after being slaves of the kings of Assyria, return to Yahweh, the God whom [our great ancestors] Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob [worshiped/belonged to], in order that he may return to you. Your fathers and brothers did not faithfully obey Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors [worshiped].
Hina bagade amola eagene ouligisu dunu da amane hamoma: ne sia: beba: le, sia: adola ahoasu dunu da Yuda amola Isala: ili soge huluane amoga asili, amane misa: ne sia: si, “Isala: ili fi dunu! Asilia dunu da dili huluane hasali. Be dilia da hame bogoi esala. Wali, dilia A: ibalaha: me amola Aisage amola Ya: igobe, ilia Hina Godema bu sinidigima!
7 Do not act like they did, because what they did caused other people to become disgusted with them.
Dilia! Dilia aowalali amola Isala: ili fi eno, ilia musa: baligi fa: su hou defele mae hamoma. Dilia ba: sa! E da ilima se iasu baligiliwane i.
8 Do not be stubborn as our ancestors were. Do what Yahweh desires. Come [to Jerusalem] to the temple, which he has set apart forever. Do what pleases Yahweh our God, in order that he will no longer be angry with you.
Dilia sia: be mae nabawane, dilia hanaiga ilia hou defele, gawamaga: le mae hamoma. Be Hina Gode Ea sia: nabawane hamoma. Dilia Yelusaleme Debolo Diasu guiguda: misa. Bai dilia Hina Gode da amo Debolo Diasu eso huluane hadigiwane dialoma: ne hamoi. E da dilima bu mae ougima: ne, dilia Ema nodone sia: ne gadosu hamoma.
9 If you return to Yahweh, the people who have captured our brothers [and sisters] and our children will be kind to them, and allow them to return to this land. Do not forget that Yahweh our God is kind and merciful. If you return to him, he will no longer reject you.”
Dilia Hina Godema bu sinidigisia, ga fi dunu ilia da dili fi dunu mugululi oule asi, amo ilia da dili fi dunuma bu asigili, ilia buhagima: ne logo doasimu. Dilia Hina Gode da asigidafa amola hahawane hou hamosa. Dilia Ema bu sinidigisia, E da dili lale salimu.”
10 The messengers went to all the towns in the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh, as far [north] as the tribe of Zebulun, [and gave them this message, ] but most of the people there scorned them and ridiculed them.
Adola ahoasu dunu da Ifala: ime amola Ma: na: se moilai bai bagade amola Sebiulane fi moilaiga asi. Be Isala: ili dunu da iliba: le lasogole oufesega: su.
11 But some of the people of [the tribes of] Asher, Manasseh, and Zebulun humbled themselves and went to Jerusalem.
Be A: sie, Ma: na: se amola Sebiulane fi dunu mogili ilia da ili sia: nabi, amola Yelusalemega masusa: obebenai galu.
12 Also in Judah God motivated the people to be united in wanting to do what Yahweh wanted them to do, which is what the king and his officials had told them to do in the message that they sent.
Amola Gode da Yuda fi ilia hou amo ganodini hawa: hamobeba: le, Yuda fi dunu da asigi dawa: su afadafa hamone, Gode Ea hanai amo hamomusa: ilegei, Amaiba: le, ilia da hina bagade amola eagene ouligisu dunu ilia hamoma: ne sia: i nabawane hamoi.
13 So a huge crowd of people gathered in Jerusalem in May, to celebrate the Festival of Eating Unleavened Bread.
Oubi ageyaduga, dunu bagohamedafa da Yelusaleme moilai bai bagadega, Agi Yisidi Hame Sali Lolo Nasu hamomusa: gilisi.
14 They removed the altars [of Baal] in Jerusalem and took away the altars for burning incense [to honor other gods, and burned them] in Kidron Valley.
Ilia da oloda huluane Yelusaleme ganodini dialu, amoga ilia da ogogosu ‘gode’ liligima ohe gobele salasu amola gabusiga: manoma gobele salasu, amo huluane mugululi, Gidalone Fagoga ha: digi.
15 They slaughtered the Passover lambs on the fourteenth day of that month. Some of the priests and the other descendants of Levi were ashamed [because they had not performed the rituals to cause them to be acceptable to work for Yahweh]. So they performed those rituals, and brought to the temple animals to be completely burned [on the altar].
Amola amo oubiga, eso ba: amoga, ilia da Baligisu Lolo Nasu amoga gobele salimusa: , sibi mano medole legei. Gobele salasu dunu amola Lifai fi dunu ilia da nigima: hame dodofei galea, ilia da bagadewane gogosiabeba: le, ilila: bu Godema momogili gagai. Amalalu, ilia da Debolo Diasua gobele salasu hou hamomu defele ba: i.
16 Then they stood at the places where Moses had written in his laws that they should stand. Then the descendants of Levi gave to the priests [bowls containing blood of the animals that were being sacrificed], and the priests sprinkled [the altar] with some of the blood.
Ilia da Gode Ea hawa: hamosu dunu Mousese ea hamoma: ne sia: i defele, Debolo Diasu ganodini ilila: hawa: hamomusa: defele, lelu. Lifai dunu da gobele salasu maga: me amo gobele salasu dunuma ianu, ilia da oloda da: iya gufunanesi.
17 Many people in the crowd had not purified themselves, and therefore they were not able to kill the lambs [and dedicate them] to Yahweh. So it was necessary for the descendants of Levi to kill the lambs for them.
Dunu bagohame da nigima: hame dodofeiba: le, ilia da Baligisu sibi mano medole legemu hamedei ba: i. Amaiba: le, Lifai dunu da ilia sibi mano medole legele, Hina Godema ligiagale i.
18 Although most of the people who had come from [the tribes of] Ephraim, Manasseh, and Issachar had not purified themselves, they ate the food of the Passover Festival anyway, ignoring the rules written [by Moses]. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying “Yahweh, you always do what is good; I pray that you will forgive everyone
Amola dunu bagohame mogili, amo da Ifala: ime, Ma: na: se, Isaga amola Sebiulane fi amoga misi, ilia da nigima: hame dodofei ba: i. Amaiba: le, ilia da Baligisu Lolo Nasu giadofale hamoi. Hina bagade Hesigaia da ili fidima: ne, amane sia: ne gadoi,
19 who sincerely wants to honor you, the God whom our ancestors [worshiped], even if they have not purified themselves by obeying the sacred laws that you gave to us.”
“Hina Gode! Ninia aowalalia Gode! Di da bagadewane asigiba: le, amo dunu ilia hou gogolema: ne olofoma! Bai ilia da nigima: gala, be ilia dogoga asigi dawa: su huluane amoga, ilia Dima nodone sia: ne gadosa.”
20 And Yahweh heard what Hezekiah prayed; he forgave the people, [and did not punish them].
Hina Gode da Hesigaia ea sia: ne gadosu nabalu, dabe i. E da amo dunu gogolema: ne olofoi, amola ilima se iasu hame i.
21 The Israeli people who were there in Jerusalem celebrated the Festival of Eating Unleavened Bread for seven days. They rejoiced greatly as they celebrated, while the priests and other descendants of Levi sang to Yahweh every day, and played musical instruments to [praise] God.
Eso fesuale agoane, dunu ilia da Yelusalemega gilisi, ilia da hahawane Agi Yisidi Hame Sali Lolo Nasu hamoi. Amo eso huluane, Lifai fi dunu amola gobele salasu dunu, ilia gasa huluane amoga Hina Godema nodosu.
22 Hezekiah thanked all the descendants of Levi for doing this work for Yahweh, and for very skillfully leading the people who were worshiping. For those seven days the people ate the Passover food and brought offerings to maintain fellowship with Yahweh and praised Yahweh, the God whom their ancestors [belonged to/had worshiped].
Amola Lifai fi dunu da medenegiwane Hina Godema nodone sia: ne gadosu hou ouligibiba: le, Hesigaia da ilima nodone sia: i. Ilia da eso fesuale, ilia aowalalia Hina Godema nodoma: ne, gobele salasu hamoi.
23 Then the whole group decided to celebrate for seven more days, so they did: They celebrated joyfully for seven more days.
Amogalu, ilia huluane da eso eno fesuale, bu hahawane lolo moma: ne ilegei. Amaiba: le, ilia da amo hahawane hamoi.
24 King Hezekiah provided 1,000 bulls and 7,000 sheep to be slaughtered for the people [to eat during the festival], and the officials also gave them 1,000 bulls and 10,000 sheep and goats. Many priests consecrated themselves.
Hina bagade da bulamagau gawali 1,000 agoane amola sibi 7,000 agoane amo dunu ilia medole moma: ne i. Amola eagene ouligisu dunu da bulamagau gawali 1,000 agoane amola sibi 10,000 agoane eno ilima i. Gobele salasu dunu bagohame da ilia nigima: dodofele, Godema mogili gagai.
25 All the people of Judah rejoiced, including the priests and other descendants of Levi and all the people from Israel who had come, and including some from other countries who were living in Israel and some from other countries who were living in Judah.
Amaiba: le, Yuda dunu huluane, gobele salasu dunu, Lifai fi dunu, dunu ilia da ga (north) amoga misi, amola ga fi dunu ilia da Isala: ili amola Yuda amoga fila misi, amo huluane da hahawane bagade ba: su.
26 Everyone in Jerusalem was very joyful, because nothing like this had happened in Jerusalem since the time when David’s son Solomon was the king of Israel.
Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade da hahawane hou bagade amoga nabaiwane ba: i. Bai hina bagade Soloumane (Da: ibidi egefe) ea ouligisu eso, amogainini misi esoga, hou amo agoai da hamedafa ba: su.
27 The priests and the other descendants of Levi stood up to bless the people, and God heard them in heaven, the holy place where he lives.
Gobele salasu dunu amola Lifai fi dunu da Hina Gode E dunu huluane gilisi ilima hahawane dogolegele ima: ne, Ema sia: ne gadoi. Amola Gode da Ea Diasu Hebene ganodini amoga ilia sia: ne gadosu nabalu, ili lale sali.
