2 Maũndũ 30
1 Hezekia nĩatũmire ndũmĩrĩri Isiraeli guothe na Juda, o na akĩandĩkĩra Efiraimu na Manase marũa ma kũmeeta moke hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova kũu Jerusalemu, makũngũĩre Bathaka ya Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli.
And Ezekias sent to all Israel and Juda, and wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasse, that they should come into the house of the Lord to Jerusalem, to keep the passover to the Lord God of Israel.
2 Mũthamaki na anene ake na kĩũngano kĩu gĩothe kũu Jerusalemu magĩtua atĩ megũkũngũĩra Bathaka mweri wa keerĩ.
For the king, and the princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, designed to keep the passover in the second month.
3 Matiahotete kũmĩkũngũĩra ihinda-inĩ rĩayo tondũ gũtiarĩ na athĩnjĩri-Ngai a kũigana arĩa meetheretie, na andũ mationganĩte Jerusalemu.
For they could not keep it at that time, because a sufficient number of priest had not purified themselves, and the people was not gathered to Jerusalem.
4 Mũbango ũcio nĩwonekire wagĩrĩire harĩ mũthamaki o na harĩ kĩũngano gĩothe.
And the proposal pleased the king and the congregation.
5 Nao magĩtua atĩ gũthiĩ kwanĩrĩrwo Isiraeli guothe, kuuma Birishiba nginya Dani, andũ meetwo moke Jerusalemu makũngũĩre Bathaka ya Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli kuo. Ndĩakoretwo ĩgĩkũngũĩrwo nĩ andũ aingĩ kũringana na ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo.
And they established a decree that a proclamation should go through all Israel, from Bersabee to Dan, that they should come and keep the passover to the Lord God of Israel at Jerusalem: for the multitude had not done it lately according to the scripture.
6 Kũrũmanĩrĩra na watho wa mũthamaki, atwari a marũa magĩthiĩ Isiraeli na Juda guothe marĩ na marũa kuuma kũrĩ mũthamaki na kuuma kũrĩ anene ake, marĩa maandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ: “Andũ a Isiraeli, cookererai Jehova Ngai wa Iburahĩmu, na Isaaka, na Isiraeli, nĩguo nake amũcookerere inyuĩ arĩa mũtigaire, inyuĩ mũhonokete kuuma guoko-inĩ kwa athamaki a Ashuri.
And the posts went with the letters from the king and the princes to all Israel and Juda, according to the command of the king, saying, Children of Israel, return to the Lord God of Abraam, and Isaac, and Israel, and bring back them that have escaped [even] those that were left of the hand of the king of Assyria.
7 Mũtigatuĩke ta maithe manyu kana ariũ a maithe manyu, arĩa maagire kwĩhokeka harĩ Jehova Ngai wa maithe mao, nake akĩmatua kĩndũ kĩa magigi ta ũrĩa mũreyonera.
And be not as your fathers, and your brethren, who revolted from the Lord God of their fathers, and he gave them up to desolation, as you see.
8 Mũtikoomie ciongo cianyu ta ũrĩa maithe manyu meekire; mwĩheanei harĩ Jehova. Ũkai handũ-harĩa-haamũre, harĩa we aamũrĩte nginya tene. Tungatĩrai Jehova Ngai wanyu, nĩgeetha marakara make mahiũ mamweherere.
And now harden not your hearts, as your fathers [did]: give glory to the Lord God, and enter into his sanctuary, which he has sanctified for ever: and serve the Lord your God, and he shall turn away [his] fierce anger from you.
9 Mũngĩcookerera Jehova-rĩ, hĩndĩ ĩyo ariũ a maithe manyu na ciana cianyu no maiguĩrwo tha nĩ arĩa maamatahire, na nĩmagacooka bũrũri ũyũ, nĩgũkorwo Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩ mũtugi na nĩ mũigua tha. Mũngĩmũcookerera ndakamũhutatĩria ũthiũ.”
For when you turn to the Lord, your brethren and your children shall be pitied before all that have carried them captives, and he will restore [you] to this land: for the Lord our God is merciful and pitiful, and will not turn away his face from you, if we return to him.
10 Atwari a marũa magĩthiĩ itũũra o itũũra kũu Efiraimu na Manase, o nginya Zebuluni, no rĩrĩ, andũ makĩmanyũrũria, na makĩmathekerera.
So the posts went through from city to city in mount Ephraim, and Manasse, and as far as Zabulon: and they as it were laughed them to scorn, and mocked them.
11 O na gũkĩrĩ ũguo-rĩ, andũ amwe a Asheri, na Manase, na Zebuluni makĩĩnyiihia na magĩthiĩ Jerusalemu.
But the men of Aser, and [some] of Manasses and of Zabulon, were ashamed, and came to Jerusalem and Juda.
12 Ningĩ o na kũu Juda guoko kwa Ngai kwarĩ igũrũ rĩa andũ, nake akĩmahe ũrũmwe wa meciiria ma gwathĩkĩra ũrĩa mũthamaki na ndungata ciake maathanĩte, marũmĩrĩire kiugo kĩa Jehova.
And the hand of the Lord was [present] to give them one heart to come, to do according to the commands of the king and of the princes, by the word of the Lord.
13 Kĩrĩndĩ kĩingĩ mũno gĩkĩũngana kũu Jerusalemu nĩguo gĩkũngũĩre Gĩathĩ kĩa Mĩgate ĩtarĩ Mĩĩkĩre Ndawa ya Kũimbia mweri wa keerĩ.
And a great multitude were gathered to Jerusalem to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.
14 Makĩeheria igongona iria ciarĩ kũu Jerusalemu o na makĩeheria igongona cia gũcinĩra ũbumba, magĩthiĩ magĩciikia Gĩtuamba gĩa Kidironi.
And they arose, and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all on which they burnt incense to false [gods] they tore down and cast into the brook Kedron.
15 Nĩmathĩnjire gatũrũme ka Bathaka mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩna wa mweri wa keerĩ. Nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai na Alawii magĩconoka na magĩĩtheria, na makĩrehe maruta ma njino hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova.
Then they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the second month: and the priests and the Levites repented, and purified [themselves], and brought whole burnt offerings into the house of the Lord.
16 Ningĩ makĩambĩrĩria ũtungata wao wa o mũthenya o ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo Watho-inĩ wa Musa mũndũ wa Ngai. Athĩnjĩri-Ngai makĩminjaminja thakame ĩrĩa maanengereirio nĩ Alawii.
And they stood at their post, according to their ordinance, according to the commandment of Moses the man of God: and the priests received the blood from the hand of the Levites.
17 Na tondũ nĩ kwarĩ na andũ aingĩ kĩrĩndĩ-inĩ kĩu mateetheretie-rĩ, Alawii nĩo maaheirwo wĩra wa gũthĩnja nginya tũtũrũme twa Bathaka twa andũ acio othe maarĩ na thaahu, tondũ matingĩamũrĩire Jehova tũtũrũme twao.
For a great part of the congregation was not sanctified; and the Levites were [ready] to kill the passover for every one who could not sanctify himself to the Lord.
18 O na akorwo andũ aingĩ arĩa mookĩte kuuma Efiraimu, na Manase, na Isakaru, na Zebuluni matietheretie-rĩ, nĩmarĩire Bathaka matekũrũmĩrĩra ũrĩa maandĩko moigĩte. No Hezekia akĩmahoera, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Jehova, o we ũrĩa mwega, arorekera mũndũ o wothe
For the greatest part of the people of Ephraim, and Manasse, and Issachar, and Zabulon, had not purified [themselves], but ate the passover contrary to the scripture. On this account also Ezekias prayed concerning them, saying,
19 ũrĩa ũtuĩte na ngoro yake kũrongooria Ngai, o we Jehova, Ngai wa maithe make, o na angĩkorwo ndetheretie kũringana na ũrĩa mawatho ma handũ-harĩa-haamũre matariĩ.”
The good Lord be merciful with regard to every heart that sincerely seeks the Lord God of their fathers, and [is] not [purified] according to the purification of the sanctuary.
20 Nake Jehova akĩigua ihooya rĩa Hezekia, akĩhonia andũ acio.
And the Lord listened to Ezekias, and healed the people.
21 Nao andũ a Isiraeli arĩa maarĩ kũu Jerusalemu magĩkũngũĩra Gĩathĩ kĩa Mĩgate ĩtarĩ Mĩĩkĩre Ndawa ya Kũimbia marĩ na gĩkeno kĩnene mĩthenya mũgwanja, nao Alawii na athĩnjĩri-Ngai makainagĩra Jehova o mũthenya marĩ na inanda cia kũgooca Jehova.
And the children of Israel who were present in Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great joy; and they continued to sing hymns to the Lord daily, and the priests and the Levites [played] on instruments to the Lord.
22 Nake Hezekia akĩaria ciugo cia kũũmĩrĩria Alawii othe arĩa moonanirie ũmenyo mwega wa gũtungatĩra Jehova. Handũ ha mĩthenya ĩyo mũgwanja nĩmarĩire kĩrĩa maagaĩirwo, na makĩruta maruta ma ũiguano, na makĩgooca Jehova Ngai wa maithe mao.
And Ezekias encouraged all the Levites, and those that had good understanding of the Lord: and they completely kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days, offering peace-offerings, and confessing to the Lord God of their fathers.
23 Kĩũngano kĩu gĩothe gĩgĩcooka gĩkĩiguanĩra gĩkũngũĩre gĩathĩ kĩu mĩthenya ĩngĩ mũgwanja; nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩkũngũĩra mĩthenya ĩngĩ mũgwanja makenete mũno.
And the congregation purposed together to keep other seven days: and they kept seven days with gladness.
24 Hezekia mũthamaki wa Juda akĩruta ndegwa 1,000 na ngʼondu na mbũri 7,000 nĩ ũndũ wa kĩũngano kĩu, nao anene makĩmahe ndegwa 1,000 na ngʼondu na mbũri 10,000. Athĩnjĩri-Ngai aingĩ mũno magĩĩtheria.
For Ezekias set apart for Juda, [even] for the congregation, a thousand calves and seven thousand sheep; and the princes set apart for the people a thousand calves and ten thousand sheep: and the holy things of the priests abundantly.
25 Kĩũngano gĩothe kĩa Juda gĩgĩkena hamwe na athĩnjĩri-Ngai na Alawii na andũ arĩa othe monganĩte moimĩte Isiraeli, hamwe na andũ a kũngĩ arĩa mookĩte kuuma Isiraeli o na arĩa maatũũraga Juda.
And all the congregation, the priests and the Levites, rejoiced, and all the congregation of Juda, and they that were present of Jerusalem, and the strangers that came from the land of Israel, and the dwellers in Juda.
26 Nĩ kwarĩ na gĩkeno kĩnene kũu Jerusalemu, nĩgũkorwo kuuma hĩndĩ ya Solomoni mũrũ wa Daudi mũthamaki wa Isiraeli gũtionekete ũndũ ta ũcio kũu Jerusalemu.
And there was great joy in Jerusalem: from the days of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there was not such a feast in Jerusalem.
27 Athĩnjĩri-Ngai na Alawii makĩrũgama, makĩrathima andũ, nake Ngai akĩmaigua, nĩgũkorwo ihooya rĩao nĩrĩakinyire o igũrũ, gĩikaro gĩake gĩtheru.
Then the priests the Levites rose up and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer came into his holy dwelling-place, [even] into heaven.
