2 Chronicles 30
1 And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, to keep the passover to the LORD God of Israel.
Hezekiya anatumiza uthenga mʼdziko lonse la Israeli ndi ku Yuda ndiponso analemba makalata ku Efereimu ndi Manase, oyitana anthu kuti abwere ku Nyumba ya Yehova ku Yerusalemu kudzakondwerera Paska wa Yehova, Mulungu wa Israeli.
2 For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, to keep the passover in the second month.
Mfumu ndi akuluakulu ake pamodzi ndi anthu onse a mu Yerusalemu anagwirizana kuti akondwerere Paska pa mwezi wachiwiri.
3 For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves sufficiently, neither had the people assembled themselves at Jerusalem.
Iwo sanathe kukondwerera pa nthawi yake chifukwa si ansembe ambiri amene anadziyeretsa ndiponso anthu anali asanasonkhane mu Yerusalemu.
4 And the thing pleased the king and all the congregation.
Chikonzerochi chinaoneka kuti chinali chabwino kwa mfumu pamodzi ndi anthu onse.
5 So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beer-sheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the passover to the LORD God of Israel at Jerusalem: for they had not done [it] of a long [time in the manner] as it was written.
Iwo anagwirizana zoti alengeze mu Israeli monse kuyambira ku Beeriseba mpaka ku Dani, kuyitana anthu kuti abwere ku Yerusalemu ndi kudzakondwerera Paska wa Yehova, Mulungu wa Israeli. Si ambiri amene ankachita chikondwererochi monga momwe kunalembedwera.
6 So the posts went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, Ye children of Israel, turn again to the LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you that have escaped from the hand of the kings of Assyria.
Molamulidwa ndi mfumu, amithenga anapita mu Israeli yense ndi Yuda ndi makalata ochokera kwa mfumu ndi kwa akuluakulu ake, olembedwa kuti, “Aisraeli bwererani kwa Yehova, Mulungu wa Abrahamu, Isake ndi Israeli, kuti abwerere kwa inu amene mwatsala, amene mwapulumuka mʼdzanja la mafumu a ku Asiriya.
7 And be not ye like your fathers, and like your brethren, who trespassed against the LORD God of their fathers, [who] therefore gave them up to desolation, as ye see.
Musakhale ngati makolo anu ndi abale anu, amene anali osakhulupirika kwa Yehova Mulungu wa makolo awo kotero kuti anawachititsa kuti akhale chinthu chochititsa mantha, monga mukuoneramu.
8 Now be ye not stiff-necked, as your fathers [were], [but] yield yourselves to the LORD, and enter into his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified for ever: and serve the LORD your God, that the fierceness of his wrath may turn away from you.
Musawumitse khosi monga anachitira makolo anu, Gonjerani Yehova. Bwerani ku malo opatulika, amene anawapatula kwamuyaya. Tumikirani Yehova Mulungu wanu kuti mkwiyo wake ukuchokereni.
9 For if ye turn again to the LORD, your brethren and your children [will find] compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they will return into this land: for the LORD your God [is] gracious and merciful, and will not turn away [his] face from you, if ye return to him.
Ngati inu mubwerera kwa Yehova, pamenepo abale anu ndi ana anu adzachitiridwa chifundo ndi amene anawagwira ukapolo ndipo adzabwereranso ku dziko lino pakuti Yehova, Mulungu wanu ndi wokoma mtima ndi wachifundo. Iye sadzakufulatirani ngati inuyo mubwerera kwa Iye.”
10 So the posts passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh even to Zebulun: but they laughed them to scorn, and mocked them.
Amithenga aja anapita mzinda ndi mzinda wa ku Efereimu ndi Manase mpaka ku Zebuloni, koma anthu anawanyoza ndi kuwachita chipongwe.
11 Nevertheless, divers of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem.
Komabe anthu ena a ku Aseri, Manase ndi Zebuloni anadzichepetsa ndipo anapita ku Yerusalemu.
12 Also in Judah the hand of God was to give them one heart to do the commandment of the king and of the princes, by the word of the LORD.
Dzanja la Mulungu linalinso pa anthu a ku Yuda, kuwapatsa mtima umodzi wochita zimene mfumu ndi akuluakulu ake analamula potsata mawu a Yehova.
13 And there assembled at Jerusalem many people to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.
Gulu lalikulu la anthu linasonkhana mu Yerusalemu kudzachita chikondwerero cha Buledi Wopanda Yisiti pa mwezi wachiwiri.
14 And they arose and took away the altars that [were] in Jerusalem, and all the altars for incense they took away, and cast [them] into the brook Kidron.
Anachotsa mu Yerusalemu maguwa ofukizira lubani ndipo anakawaponya mʼchigwa cha Kidroni.
15 Then they killed the passover on the fourteenth [day] of the second month: and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought in the burnt-offerings into the house of the LORD.
Iwo anapha mwana wankhosa wa Paska pa tsiku la 14 la mwezi wachiwiri. Ansembe ndi Alevi anachita manyazi ndipo anadziyeretsa ndi kubweretsa nsembe zopsereza ku Nyumba ya Yehova.
16 And they stood in their place after their manner, according to the law of Moses the man of God: the priests sprinkled the blood, [which they received] from the hand of the Levites.
Ndipo anakhala mʼmalo awo a nthawi zonse potsatira zolembedwa mʼmalamulo a Mose munthu wa Mulungu. Ansembe anawaza magazi amene anawapatsa Alevi.
17 For [there were] many in the congregation that were not sanctified: therefore the Levites had the charge of the killing of the passovers for every one [that was] not clean, to sanctify [them] to the LORD.
Popeza ambiri mʼgululo anali asanadziyeretse, Alevi anapha ana ankhosa a Paska a iwo amene, mwa mwambo, anali osayeretsedwa ndipo sakanatha kupereka ana ankhosa awo kwa Yehova.
18 For a multitude of the people, [even] many of Ephraim, and Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet they ate the passover otherwise than it was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, The good LORD pardon every one,
Ngakhale kuti ambiri mwa anthu ochokera ku Efereimu, Manase, Isakara ndi Zebuloni sanadziyeretse okha, komabe anadya Paska motsutsana ndi zimene zinalembedwa. Koma Hezekiya anawapempherera, kunena kuti, “Yehova wabwino, khululukirani aliyense
19 [That] prepareth his heart to seek God, the LORD God of his fathers, though [he is] not [cleansed] according to the purification of the sanctuary.
amene wayika mtima wake kufunafuna Yehova, Mulungu wa makolo ake, ngakhale ali wosayeretsedwa molingana ndi malamulo a malo opatulika.”
20 And the LORD hearkened to Hezekiah, and healed the people.
Ndipo Yehova anamvera Hezekiya ndipo anachiritsa anthuwo.
21 And the children of Israel [that were] present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness: and the Levites and the priests praised the LORD day by day, [singing] with loud instruments to the LORD.
Aisraeli amene anali mu Yerusalemu anachita chikondwerero cha Buledi Wopanda Yisiti kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri akusangalala kwambiri, pamene Alevi ndi ansembe amayimbira Yehova tsiku lililonse, akuyimbira zida zamatamando za Yehova.
22 And Hezekiah spoke comfortably to all the Levites that taught the good knowledge of the LORD: and they ate throughout the feast seven days, offering peace-offerings, and making confession to the LORD God of their fathers.
Hezekiya anayankhula molimbikitsa Alevi onse amene anaonetsa kumvetsa bwino za kutumikira Yehova. Kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri anadya gawo lawo ndi kupereka nsembe zachiyanjano ndi kutamanda Yehova, Mulungu wa makolo awo.
23 And the whole assembly took counsel to keep other seven days: and they kept [other] seven days with gladness.
Ndipo msonkhano wonse unagwirizana zopitiriza chikondwerero kwa masiku ena asanu ndi awiri. Kotero kwa masiku ena asanu ndi awiri anachita chikondwererocho mosangalala.
24 For Hezekiah king of Judah gave to the congregation a thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the congregation a thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep: and a great number of priests sanctified themselves.
Hezekiya mfumu ya Yuda anapereka ngʼombe zamphongo 1,000 ndi nkhosa ndi mbuzi 7,000 ku msonkhanoko ndipo akuluakulu ake anapereka ngʼombe zamphongo 1,000, nkhosa ndi mbuzi 10,000. Ansembe ambiri anadziyeretsa.
25 And all the congregation of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the congregation that came out of Israel, and the strangers that came from the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Judah, rejoiced.
Gulu lonse la ku Yuda linasangalala, pamodzi ndi ansembe ndi Alevi ndi onse amene anasonkhana ochokera ku Israeli, kuphatikizanso alendo amene anachokera ku Israeli ndi amene amakhala ku Yuda.
26 So there was great joy in Jerusalem: for since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel [there was] not the like in Jerusalem.
Munali chikondwerero chachikulu mu Yerusalemu, pakuti kuyambira masiku a Solomoni mwana wa Davide mfumu ya Israeli sizinachitikepo zotere mu Yerusalemu.
27 Then the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer ascended to his holy dwelling-place, [even] to heaven.
Ansembe ndi Alevi anayimirira kudalitsa anthu, ndipo Mulungu anawamvera pakuti pemphero lawo linafika kumwamba, malo ake oyera.
