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.
Hahoi Hezekiah ni Isarel ram hoi Judah ramnaw dawk a tami a patoun teh, Ephraim hoi Manasseh ram dawk hoi Isarel BAWIPA Cathut hanlah ceitakhai pawi sak hanelah Jerusalem khovah BAWIPA im dawk tho hanlah ca a patawn.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, siangpahrang hoi kabawmkungnaw hoi taminaw pueng ni thapa yung pahni dawk ceitakhai pawi sak hanlah a rawi awh.
Hatnae tueng nah vaihma kamthoungnaw pap hoeh rah. Jerusalem vah tami pueng a kamkhueng thai awh hoeh rah dawkvah, pawi hah sak thai awh hoeh.
4 The king and all the other people who had gathered thought that was a good plan.
A pouk awh e hno hah siangpahrang hoi tami pueng pouknae dawk ngai e lah ao.
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].
Hatnavah, Isarel ram pueng, Beersheba hoi Dan totouh Jerusalem vah tho vaiteh, Isarel BAWIPA Cathut hanlah ceitakhai pawi sak hanelah kamthang pathang hanlah a sak sak awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hottelah sakhoehnae a saw toe.
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].
Hottelah, ca kaphawtnaw ni siangpahrang hoi kabawmkungnaw e ca hah a sin teh Isarel hoi Judah ram a deng totouh rei hanlah siangpahrang kâpoe e patetlah a tâco awh. Isarelnaw teh Abraham, Isak hoi Isarel BAWIPA Cathut koe ban awh. Hat pawiteh, Siria siangpahrang kut dawk hoi ka hlout ni teh kaawm rae naw koe a ban awh han.
7 Do not act like they did, because what they did caused other people to become disgusted with them.
Nangmouh teh na mintoenaw hoi na hmaunawngha, a na mintoenaw e BAWIPA Cathut koe yonnae a sak awh teh, a hnam ka thun takhai e taminaw na hmu awh e patetlah awm awh hanh.
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.
Na mintoenaw patetlah lungpata hoi awm awh hanh. Hatei, BAWIPA koe kâhnawng awh nateh, yungyoe hanlah kathounge hmuen kathoung dawk kâen hoi BAWIPA na Cathut thaw hah tawk awh. Hat boipawiteh, puenghoi a lungkhueknae teh nangmouh koe a roum han.
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.”
BAWIPA koe lah na kamlang awh pawiteh, na hmaunawnghanaw hoi na canaw hah san lah kamannaw ni pahren awh vaiteh, hete ram dawk bout a tho awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA na Cathut teh pahren lungmanae lahoi kakawi e lah ao. Ama koelah na kamlang awh pawiteh, na cettakhai roeroe mahoeh telah ati awh.
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.
Hottelah ca kathaknaw teh, Ephraim ram, Manasseh ram, hoi Zebulun ram totouh, kho touh hnukkhu kho touh a cei awh. Hateiteh, ahnimouh ni a panuikhai awh teh, a ka pacekpahlek awh.
11 But some of the people of [the tribes of] Asher, Manasseh, and Zebulun humbled themselves and went to Jerusalem.
Hateiteh, Asher taminaw, Manasseh taminaw hoi Zebulun tami tangawn ni lawkpui poung lah a pouk awh teh, Jerusalem lah a tho awh.
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.
BAWIPA lawk dawk siangpahrang hoi kahrawikungnaw e kâpoe tarawi hoi lungthin suetalah a tawn awh nahan, Cathut kut teh Judah lathueng vah ao.
13 So a huge crowd of people gathered in Jerusalem in May, to celebrate the Festival of Eating Unleavened Bread.
Hottelah thapa yung pahni navah, tonphuenhoehe pawi sak hanelah Jerusalem vah tami moikapap a kamkhueng awh.
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.
Ahnimouh ni a thaw awh teh, Jerusalem kaawm e thuengnae khoungroenaw thoseh, hmuitui sawinae khoungroe dawk kaawm e naw pueng thoseh, a la awh teh Kidron tui dawk a tâkhawng awh.
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].
Hottelah thapa yung pahni, hnin hlaipali nah ceitakhai pawi hanlah a thei awh. Vaihmanaw hoi Levihnaw a kaya awh dawkvah, a kâthoung sak awh teh, hote thuengnae hah BAWIPA im dawk a kâenkhai awh.
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.
Cathut e tami Mosi e kâlawk patetlah amamae hmuen dawk lengkaleng a kangdue awh. Hote vaihmanaw ni, Levihnaw koehoi e thi hah a kathek awh.
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.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, taminaw thung kamthoung hoeh rae moi ao. Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA hanlah kamthoung hanlah, kathounghoehnaw e thaw dawk Levih miphunnaw ni ceitakhai pawi sak han lah a thei.
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
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Ephraim tami, Manasseh tami, Issakhar tami, hoi Zebulun tami moikapapnaw hah thoung awh hoeh. Hateiteh, phung laipalah ceitakhai pawi rawca teh a ca awh.
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.”
Hatei, Hezekiah ni, tami pueng a lungthin hoi Cathut, a na mintoenaw e Jehovah Cathut tawng hanlah kârakuengnaw pueng hmuen kathoung phung patetlah kamthoung awh hoeh nakunghai, kahawi e BAWIPA ni yontha awh naseh, telah ahnimouh hanlah a ratoum pouh.
20 And Yahweh heard what Hezekiah prayed; he forgave the people, [and did not punish them].
BAWIPA ni Hezekiah e ratoumnae hah a thai pouh teh taminaw pueng hah a dam sak.
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.
Jerusalem kaawm e Isarelnaw ni, tonphuenhoehe pawiteh hnin sari touh thung lunghawicalah a hno awh. Hahoi Levihnaw hoi vaihmanaw ni ratoum hoi BAWIPA a pholen awh. Hottelah BAWIPA hah la hoi hnin touh hnukkhu hnin touh a pholen awh.
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].
Hezekiah ni BAWIPA kahawicalah ka panuek e kacangkhaikung Levihnaw pueng hah tha a poe. Hottelah, a na mintoenaw e BAWIPA Cathut koe yon ngaithoumnae hei hoi roum thuengnae pueng hoi hnin sari touh thung rawca a ca awh.
23 Then the whole group decided to celebrate for seven more days, so they did: They celebrated joyfully for seven more days.
Tami pueng ni hnin sari touh pawi bout to hanlah a kârakueng awh dawkvah, lunghawi hoi hnin sari touh pawi bout a to awh.
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.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Judah siangpahrang Hezekiah ni taminaw hah maitotan 1, 000, tu 7, 000 touh thei hanlah a poe. Kahrawikungnaw nihai, tami pueng hah maitotan 1, 000 hoi tu 10, 000 a poe awh teh, vaihma moikapap ni a kâthoung sak awh.
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.
Hottelah, Judahnaw pueng ni vaihmanaw hoi Levihnaw hoi Isarel ram kathonaw pueng hoi, miphun alouke e Isarel ram hoi kathonaw hoi, Judah ram kaawmnaw hoi a lunghawi awh.
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.
Hottelah lunghawinae kalen poung Jerusalem vah ao. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Isarel siangpahrang Devit capa Solomon koehoi hot patet e Jerusalem vah awm boihoeh.
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.
Hottelah vaihma hoi Levihnaw ni a thaw awh teh, taminaw pueng yawhawinae a poe awh. A lawk a ngai pouh teh, a ratoum awh e teh kathounge kalvan vah a pha.
