2 Chronicles 30
1 And Hezekiah sendeth unto all Israel and Judah, and also letters he hath written unto Ephraim and Manasseh, to come in to the house of Jehovah in Jerusalem, to make a passover to Jehovah, 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 And the king taketh counsel, and his heads, and all the assembly in Jerusalem, to make 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 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.
Iwo sanathe kukondwerera pa nthawi yake chifukwa si ansembe ambiri amene anadziyeretsa ndiponso anthu anali asanasonkhane mu Yerusalemu.
4 And the thing is right in the eyes of the king, and in the eyes of all the assembly,
Chikonzerochi chinaoneka kuti chinali chabwino kwa mfumu pamodzi ndi anthu onse.
5 and they establish the thing, to cause to pass over an intimation into all Israel, from Beer-Sheba even unto Dan, to come in to make a passover to Jehovah, God of Israel, in Jerusalem, for not for a long time had they done as it is 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 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 unto Jehovah, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and He doth turn back unto the escaped part that is left of you from the hand of the kings of Asshur;
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 do not be like your fathers, and like your brethren, who trespassed against Jehovah, God of their fathers, and He giveth them to desolation, as ye do 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, harden not your neck like your fathers, give a hand to Jehovah, and come in to His sanctuary, that He hath sanctified to the age, and serve Jehovah your God, and the fierceness of His anger doth turn back 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 in your turning back unto Jehovah, your brethren and your sons have mercies before their captors, even to return to this land, for gracious and merciful [is] Jehovah your God, and He doth not turn aside the face from you, if ye turn back unto 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 And the runners are passing over from city to city, in the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, even unto Zebulun: and they are laughing at them, and mocking at them,
Amithenga aja anapita mzinda ndi mzinda wa ku Efereimu ndi Manase mpaka ku Zebuloni, koma anthu anawanyoza ndi kuwachita chipongwe.
11 only, certain from Asher, and Manasseh, and from Zebulun, have been humbled, and come in to Jerusalem.
Komabe anthu ena a ku Aseri, Manase ndi Zebuloni anadzichepetsa ndipo anapita ku Yerusalemu.
12 Also, in Judah hath the hand of God been to give to them one heart to do the command of the king and of the heads, in the matter of Jehovah;
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 much people are gathered to Jerusalem, to make the feast of unleavened things in the second month — a mighty assembly for multitude.
Gulu lalikulu la anthu linasonkhana mu Yerusalemu kudzachita chikondwerero cha Buledi Wopanda Yisiti pa mwezi wachiwiri.
14 And they arise and turn aside the altars that [are] in Jerusalem, and all the perfume altars they have turned aside, and cast [them] to the brook Kidron;
Anachotsa mu Yerusalemu maguwa ofukizira lubani ndipo anakawaponya mʼchigwa cha Kidroni.
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 Jehovah.
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 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,
Ndipo anakhala mʼmalo awo a nthawi zonse potsatira zolembedwa mʼmalamulo a Mose munthu wa Mulungu. Ansembe anawaza magazi amene anawapatsa Alevi.
17 for many [are] in the assembly who have not sanctified themselves, and the Levites [are] over the slaughtering of the passover-offerings for every one not clean, to sanctify [him] to Jehovah:
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, 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, 'Jehovah, who [is] good, doth receive atonement for 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 who hath prepared his heart to seek God — Jehovah, God of his fathers — yet not according to the cleansing of the sanctuary;'
amene wayika mtima wake kufunafuna Yehova, Mulungu wa makolo ake, ngakhale ali wosayeretsedwa molingana ndi malamulo a malo opatulika.”
20 and Jehovah hearkeneth unto Hezekiah, and healeth the people.
Ndipo Yehova anamvera Hezekiya ndipo anachiritsa anthuwo.
21 And the sons of Israel, those found in Jerusalem, make the feast of unleavened things seven days with great joy; and giving praise to Jehovah day by day are the Levites and the priests, with instruments of praise before Jehovah.
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 speaketh unto the heart of all the Levites, those giving good understanding concerning Jehovah, and they eat the appointed thing seven days; sacrificing sacrifices of peace-offerings, and making confession to Jehovah, 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 all the assembly take counsel to keep other seven days, and they keep seven days [with] joy;
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 hath presented to the assembly a thousand bullocks, and seven thousand sheep; and the heads have presented to the assembly bullocks a thousand, and sheep ten thousand; and priests sanctify themselves in abundance.
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 assembly of Judah rejoice, 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,
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 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,
Munali chikondwerero chachikulu mu Yerusalemu, pakuti kuyambira masiku a Solomoni mwana wa Davide mfumu ya Israeli sizinachitikepo zotere mu Yerusalemu.
27 and the priests, the Levites, rise and bless the people, and their voice is heard, and their prayer cometh in to His holy habitation, to the heavens.
Ansembe ndi Alevi anayimirira kudalitsa anthu, ndipo Mulungu anawamvera pakuti pemphero lawo linafika kumwamba, malo ake oyera.
