2 Chronicles 30
1 Hezekiah sent messengers to all Israel and Judah, and also wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of Yahweh in Jerusalem, to celebrate the Passover to Yahweh, the God of Israel.
Hezekiah mah Israel prae hoi Judah prae boih ah ca pat pae, Angraeng ih im ohhaih, Jerusalem vangpui ah sak ih misong loihaih poihkung ah, Israel Angraeng Sithaw ih ahmin pakoeh hanah angzo oh, tiah Ephraim hoi Manasseh khaeah doeh ca a paek.
2 For the king, his leaders, and all the assembly in Jerusalem had consulted together, deciding to celebrate the Passover in the second month.
Khrah hnetto haih naah, misong loihhaih poih sak hanah, siangpahrang mah angmah ih angraengnawk hoi Jerusalem ah kaom rangpuinawk palung adue o.
3 They could not celebrate at the regular time, because not enough priests had consecrated themselves for the celebration and the people had not gathered together in Jerusalem.
Qaimanawk loe toksak han kamcuk ah ciimcai o ai, Judah kaminawk doeh Jerusalem ah amkhueng o ai pongah, angmah sakhaih atue thuem ah misong loihhaih poih to sah o thai ai.
4 This proposal seemed right in the eyes of the king and of all the assembly.
Siangpahrang hoi kaminawk loe sak han kaom to baktih hmuen nuiah poeknawm o ai.
5 So they agreed to make a proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beersheba to Dan, that the people should come to celebrate the Passover to Yahweh, the God of Israel, in Jerusalem. For they had not observed it with large numbers of people according to what was written.
Cabu thungah tarik ih baktih toengah, paroeai kasawk atue thungah misong loihhaih poih to sah o vai ai boeh pongah, kaminawk loe angzoh o moe, Jerusalaem ah Israel Angraeng Sithaw khaeah, misong loihhaih poih sak han ih ahmuen to, Israel prae thung boih, Beersheba hoi Dan prae karoek to taphong boih hanah a thuih o.
6 So couriers went with the letters from the king and his leaders throughout all Israel and Judah, by the command of the king. They said, “You people of Israel, turn back to Yahweh, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, so that he may turn back to the remnant of you who have escaped from the hand of the kings of Assyria.
Siangpahrang angmah ih angraengnawk mah paek o ih ca to ca phawkungnawk mah lak o moe, lokpaek ih baktih toengah Israel prae hoi Judah prae boih ah thak o; capat thungah Israel kaminawk, Abraham, Isak hoi Israel acaengnawk ih Angraeng Sithaw khaeah amlaem o let ah; to tih nahaeloe Anih doeh Assyria siangpahrang ban thung hoiah kaloih, anghmat kami, nangcae khaeah, amlaem let tih.
7 Do not be like your ancestors or your brothers, who trespassed against Yahweh, the God of their ancestors, so that he made them an object of horror, as you see.
Nam panawk ih Angraeng Sithaw hmaa ah zaehaih kasah, nam panawk hoi nam nawkamyanawk baktiah om o hmah; na hnuk o ih baktih toengah, to tiah zaehaih kasah nihcae to Angraeng mah kanung parai ah danpaek boeh.
8 Now do not be stubborn, as your ancestors were; instead, give yourselves to Yahweh and come into his holy place, which he has consecrated forever, and worship Yahweh your God, so that his fierce anger may turn away from you.
Nam panawk baktiah palungthah o sak hmah, nangmacae hoi nangmacae Angraeng khaeah anghnai oh, anih mah dungzan ah ciimcaisak ih, hmuenciim ah angzo oh; kanung parai nangcae khae palungphuihaih dipsak hanah, na Angraeng Sithaw ih tok to sah oh.
9 For if you turn back to Yahweh, your brothers and children will find compassion before those who led them away as prisoners, and they will come back into this land. For Yahweh your God, is gracious and merciful, and will not turn his face away from you, if you return to him.”
Angraeng khaeah nam laem o let nahaeloe, misong naeh kaminawk mah nam nawkamyanawk hoi na caanawk to tahmenhaih tawn o ueloe, hae prae ah nam laem o let tih; anih khaeah nam laem o let nahaeloe, nangcae ih Angraeng Sithaw loe amlunghaih hoi tahmenhaih hoiah koi pongah, nangcae han mikhmai hawk ving mak ai, tiah ca tarik pae.
10 So the couriers passed from city to city throughout the regions of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the way to Zebulun, but the people laughed at them and mocked them.
Ca phawkungnawk loe Ephraim, Manasseh hoi Zebulun prae thung boih ah, vangpui maeto hoi maeto ah ca to thak o; toe kaminawk mah nihcae to kasae thuih o moe, pahnui o thuih.
11 However, certain men of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem.
Toe Asher, Manasseh hoi Zebulun ih kaminawk loe poek pahnaem o moe, Jerusalem ah caeh o.
12 The hand of God also came on Judah, to give them one heart, to carry out the command of the king and leaders by the word of Yahweh.
Judah prae thung ih kaminawk loe Angraeng ih lok baktih toengah, Angraeng ban thacakhaih nihcae nuiah oh pongah, siangpahrang hoi angraengnawk mah sak atim ih hmuen to poekhaih maeto hoiah sak koehhaih palungthin to a tawnh o.
13 Many people, a very great assembly, gathered in Jerusalem to celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread in the second month.
Khrah hnetto haih naah loe, taeh thuh ai ih takaw caakhaih poih sak hanah, paroeai kaminawk loe Jerusalem ah amkhueng o moe, kalen parai poih to a sak o.
14 They rose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all the altars for incense; they threw them into the brook Kidron.
Nihcae loe angthawk o moe, Jerusalem vangpui ih acaeng kalah kaminawk mah sak o ih hmaicamnawk hoi hmuihoih thlaekhaih hmaicamnawk to lak o pacoengah, Kidron vacong thungah vah o king.
15 Then they killed the Passover lambs on the fourteenth day of the second month. The priests and Levites were ashamed, so they consecrated themselves and brought burnt offerings into the house of Yahweh.
Khrah hnetto haih ni hatlai palito naah, misong loihhaih poih sakhaih moi to boh o; qaima hoi Levi acaengnawk loe azathaih tongh o pongah, angmacae hoi angmacae to ciimcai ah oh o moe, Angraeng ih im ah hmai angbawnhaih hmuen to sinh o.
16 They stood in their place by their divisions, following the directions given in the law of Moses, the man of God. The priests sprinkled the blood that they received from the hand of the Levites.
Sithaw kami Mosi mah paek ih kaalok baktih toengah, angmacae angdoethaih ahmuen ah angdoet o moe, Levi acaengnawk mah paek ih moithii to qaimanawk mah hmaicam ah haeh o.
17 For there were many in the assembly who had not consecrated themselves. Therefore the Levites slaughtered the Passover lambs for everyone who was not purified and could not consecrate their sacrifice to Yahweh.
To ah amkhueng kaminawk thungah thoemto kaminawk loe ciimcai o ai pongah, ciimcai ai kaminawk boih Angraeng han ciimcai hanah, Levi acaengnawk mah misong loihhaih poihkung ah tuucaa to boh pae o.
18 For a great many of the people, many of them from Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun, had not purified themselves, yet they ate the Passover meal, against the written instructions. For Hezekiah had prayed for them, saying, “May the good Yahweh pardon everyone
Ephraim, Manasseh, Issakar, Zebulun prae thung hoiah angzo kaminawk loe angmacae hoi angmacae ciimcai ah om o ai; cabu thungah tarik ih lok to pazui ai ah, moi to a caak o. Hezekiah mah, Kahoih Angraeng mah tahmen nasoe,
19 who sets his heart to seek God, Yahweh, the God of his ancestors, even though he is not purified by the purification standards of the holy place.”
hmuenciim ciimcaihaih daan baktiah, anih loe ciimcai ai cadoeh, ampanawk ih Angraeng Sithaw pakrong koeh kami ih zaehaih to tahmen nasoe, tiah lawkthuih pae.
20 So Yahweh listened to Hezekiah and healed the people.
Hezekiah lawkthuihaih to Angraeng mah tahngaih pae moe, kaminawk to ngantuisak.
21 The people of Israel who were present in Jerusalem kept the Festival of Unleavened Bread for seven days with great joy. The Levites and the priests praised Yahweh day after day, singing with loud instruments to Yahweh.
Jerusalem ah kaom Israel caanawk loe taeh thuh ai ih takaw caakhaih poih to ni sarihto thung anghoehaih hoiah sak o; Levi acaengnawk hoi qaimanawk loe ni thokkruek atuenpawknawk hoiah Angraeng khaeah Angmah saphawhaih laa to sak o.
22 Hezekiah spoke encouragingly to all the Levites who understood the service of Yahweh. So they ate throughout the festival for the seven days, offering sacrifices of fellowship offerings, and making confession to Yahweh, the God of their ancestors.
Angraeng ih lok patukkung Levi acaengnawk boih khaeah, Hezekiah mah thapaekhaih lok to thuih pae; ni sarihto thung poihsak o moe, a caak o; angdaehhaih hmuen to tathlangh o moe, angmacae ampanawk ih Angraeng Sithaw hmaa ah zaehaih to taphong o.
23 The whole assembly then decided to celebrate for another seven days, and they did so with joy.
Poihkung ah angzo kaminawk mah ni sarihto thung poihsak patomh han thuih o pongah, anghoehaih hoiah ni sarihto thung poih to sak patomh o let.
24 For Hezekiah king of Judah gave the assembly one thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep as an offering; and the leaders gave to the assembly one thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep and goats. A large number of priests consecrated themselves.
Judah siangpahrang Hezekiah mah rangpui hanah maitaw tae sangto, tuucaa sang sarihto paek; angraengnawk mah doeh maitaw tae sangto hoi tuucaa sang hato paek o toeng; paroeai pop qaimanawk doeh angmacae hoi angmacae to ciimcai ah oh o.
25 All the assembly of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the people who came together from Israel, as well as the foreigners who came from the land of Israel and those who lived in Judah—they all rejoiced.
Qaima hoi Levi acaengnawk, Judah prae thung hoiah angzo kaminawk boih, Israel prae thung hoiah angzo kaminawk boih, Israel prae thung hoiah angzo angvinnawk boih hoi Judah prae ah kaom kaminawk boih loe anghoehaih hoiah oh o.
26 So there was great joy in Jerusalem, for since the time of Solomon son of David, king of Israel, there had not been anything like it in Jerusalem.
To tiah Jerusalem vangpui ah kalen parai anghoehaih to oh; Israel siangpahrang David capa Solomon dung pacoeng hoi to tiah kalen parai anghoehaih to Jerusalem ah om ai boeh.
27 Then the priests, the Levites, rose and blessed the people. Their voice was heard, and their prayer went up to heaven, the holy place where God lives.
Qaima hoi Levi acaengnawk loe angdoet o moe, kaminawk han tahamhoihaih paek o; nihcae lawkthuihaih lok loe, a ohhaih hmuenciim, van khoek to phak, nihcae lawkthuihaih lok to Angraeng mah tahngaih pae.
