Kronika 2 30

1 Hezekia ɖo du ɖe Israel kple Yuda blibo la eye wòŋlɔ agbalẽwo hã ɖo ɖe Efraim kple Manase toawo, nɔ wo kpem be woava Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me le Yerusalem eye woaɖu Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui na Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la.

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.

2 Fia la kple eƒe dziɖulawo kple ameha blibo la si nɔ Yerusalem ɖo tame be yewoaɖu Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la le ɣleti evelia me.

For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, to keep the passover in the second month.

3 Womete ŋu ɖu ŋkekenyui sia le ɣeyiɣi ɖoɖi la dzi ƒe sia ƒe o elabena nunɔla siwo kɔ wo ɖokuiwo ŋu la mesɔ gbɔ o eye ameawo mekpe ta ɖe Yerusalem o.

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.

4 Fia la kple eƒe aɖaŋudelawo katã lɔ̃ ɖe ɖoɖo sia dzi

And the thing pleased the king and all the congregation.

5 eya ta woɖe gbeƒã Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la ɖuɖu to Israelnyigba blibo la dzi, tso Dan yi Beerseba eye wokpe ame sia ame va Yerusalem hena ŋkekenyuia ɖuɖu na Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la, elabena eteƒe didi Israelviwo megaɖu Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la kpɔ, abe ale si woŋlɔe ɖi ene o.

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.

6 Dɔlawo xɔ agbalẽawo le fia la kple eƒe amegãwo si ɖatsa le le Israel blibo la kple Yuda eye wogblɔ le fia la ƒe sedede nu be be, “Israelviwo, mitrɔ gbɔ va Yehowa, Abraham kple Isak kple Israel ƒe Mawu la gbɔ, ale be eya hã natrɔ ɖe mi ame siwo do le Asiria fiawo ƒe ŋusẽ te la ŋu.

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.

7 Miganɔ abe mia nɔviwo, ame siwo wɔ nu vɔ̃ ɖe Yehowa, wo fofowo ƒe Mawu ŋu eye wòtsrɔ̃ wo la ene o.

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.

8 Miganye kɔlialiatɔwo abe woawo ene o, ke boŋ miɖe asi le mia ɖokuiwo ŋu na Yehowa eye miatrɔ va eƒe gbedoxɔ si ŋu wokɔ tegbee la me. Misubɔ Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la ale be eƒe dɔmedzoe helihelĩ la naɖe ɖa le mia dzi.

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.

9 Ne miegatrɔ ɖe Aƒetɔ la ŋu la, ame siwo ɖe aboyo mia nɔviwo kple mia viwo la, akpɔ nublanui na wo eye woagate ŋu atrɔ agbɔ va anyigba sia dzi elabena Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la ƒe dɔme nyo eye eƒe amenuveve li tegbee eya ta magble mí ɖi, ne míetrɔ ɖe eŋu o.”

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.

10 Ale dɔlawo tsa le duwo katã me le Efraim kple Manase kple Zebulon. Ke enuenu la, ameawo xɔa wo kple nukoko kple vlodoame!

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.

11 Ke ame aɖewo ya tso Aser, Manase kple Zebulon ƒe viwo dome trɔ ɖe Mawu ŋu eye wova Yerusalem.

Nevertheless, divers of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem.

12 Le Yuda la, Mawu ƒe Gbɔgbɔ nyɔ didi sesẽ aɖe le dukɔ blibo la me be woawɔ Yehowa ƒe ɖoɖowo dzi abe ale si fia la kple eŋumewo bia tso wo si la ene.

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.

13 Ale ameha gã aɖe va kpe ta ɖe Yerusalem le ɣleti evelia me hena Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la ɖuɖu.

And there assembled at Jerusalem many people to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.

14 Wogbã trɔ̃subɔlawo ƒe vɔsamlekpuiwo kple dzudzɔdovɔsamlekpuiwo katã le Yerusalem eye wolɔ woƒe gbagbãwo yi ɖakɔ ɖe Kidron tɔʋu la me.

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.

15 Le ɣleti evelia ƒe ŋkeke gbãtɔ dzi la, ameawo wu alẽviwo hena Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la ɖuɖu. Ŋukpe lé nunɔlawo kple Levitɔwo, ale wokɔ wo ɖokuiwo ŋu eye wotsɔ numevɔsanuwo yi gbedoxɔ la me.

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.

16 Wotsi tsitre ɖe woƒe nɔƒewo abe ale si Mose, Mawu ƒe ame la, ƒe sewo ɖo na wo ene. Levitɔwo tsɔ vɔsalẽwo ƒe ʋu na nunɔlawo eye wohlẽe.

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.

17 Esi ameawo dometɔ geɖewo mekɔ wo ɖokuiwo ŋu o ta la, womete ŋu wu alẽviwo na Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la ɖuɖu o eya ta Levitɔwo wu wo na wo eye wotsɔ alẽviawo de asi na Yehowa.

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.

18 Hekpe ɖe esia ŋu la, ame siwo tso Efraim, Manase, Isaka kple Zebulon ƒe hlɔ̃wo me va la, dometɔ geɖewo mekɔ wo ɖokuiwo ŋuti o ale womenɔ Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la ɖum nyuie ɖe se la nu o. Fia Hezekia do gbe ɖa ɖe wo ta be,

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,

19 “Oo Yehowa, mía fofowo ƒe Mawu, le wò dɔmenyo ta la, tsɔ nu vɔ̃ ke ame siwo le subɔwòm kple woƒe dzi blibo togbɔ be womekɔ wo ɖokuiwo ŋu o hã.”

[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.

20 Yehowa se Hezekia ƒe gbedodoɖa eye metsrɔ̃ ameawo o.

And the LORD hearkened to Hezekiah, and healed the people.

21 Ale Israelviwo ɖu Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la le Yerusalem ŋkeke adre kple dzidzɔ gã. Le ɣe ma ɣi la, Levitɔwo kple nunɔlawo kafua Mawu sesĩe kple hadzidziwo kple gakogoewo gbe sia gbe.

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.

22 Fia Hezekia kafu Levitɔwo le woƒe ha viviwo dzidzi ta. Ale ŋkekenyui la ɖuɖu yi edzi ŋkeke adre. Wosa akpedavɔwo eye amewo ʋu woƒe nu vɔ̃wo me na Yehowa, wo fofowo ƒe Mawu la.

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.

23 Ameawo gayi vividodo ɖe ŋkekenyui la ŋu dzi eya ta wo katã woɖoe be yewoagayi ŋkekenyui la ɖuɖu dzi ŋkeke adre bubu.

And the whole assembly took counsel to keep other seven days: and they kept [other] seven days with gladness.

24 Fia Hezekia na nyitsu akpe ɖeka kple alẽ akpe adre ameawo eye fiaviŋutsuwo hã na nyitsu fɛ̃ akpe ɖeka kple alẽ akpe ewo. Nunɔla geɖewo kɔ wo ɖokuiwo ŋu ɣe ma ɣi.

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.

25 Yudatɔwo, nunɔlawo, Levitɔwo kple amedzrowo kple ame siwo tso Israelnyigba dzi va la kpɔ dzidzɔ gã aɖe.

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.

26 Eva eme alea elabena womegaɖu ŋkekenyui sia tɔgbi kpɔ alea le Yerusalem le Solomo, Fia David ƒe vi ƒe ŋkekewo megbe o.

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.

27 Azɔ la, nunɔlawo kple Levitɔwo tsi tsitre, yra ameawo eye Yehowa se woƒe gbedodoɖawo le eƒe gbedoxɔ kɔkɔe la me le dziƒo.

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.
