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.
Then sent Hezekiah to all Israel and Judah, and he also wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, to prepare the passover-sacrifice unto the Lord the God of Israel.
2 Mũthamaki na anene ake na kĩũngano kĩu gĩothe kũu Jerusalemu magĩtua atĩ megũkũngũĩra Bathaka mweri wa keerĩ.
And the king held a consultation, as also his princes, and all the assembly in Jerusalem, to prepare the passover-sacrifice 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 were not able to prepare it at that time; because the priests had not sanctified themselves sufficiently, nor had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem.
4 Mũbango ũcio nĩwonekire wagĩrĩire harĩ mũthamaki o na harĩ kĩũngano gĩothe.
And the thing seemed right in the eyes of the king and in the eyes of all the assembly.
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.
So they established a decree to cause a proclamation to be made throughout all Israel, from Beer-sheba' even as far as Dan, that they should come to prepare the passover-sacrifice unto thy Lord the God of Israel at Jerusalem; because for a long time past they had not prepared it as it was written,
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.
So the runners went with the letters from the hand of the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the command of the king, saying, O children of Israel, return unto the Lord the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you, that are escaped out of the power of the kings 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 net like your fathers, and like your brethren, who acted faithlessly against the Lord the God of their fathers, wherefore he gave them up to become an [object of] astonishment, as ye 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.
Now do ye not harden your necks, like your fathers: hold out your hand unto the Lord, and come unto his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified for ever, and serve the Lord your God, and so will he turn away from you the fierceness of his wrath.
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 If ye return unto the Lord, your brethren and your children will find mercy in the presence of their captors, so that they may return to this land; for the Lord your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his countenance from you, if ye return unto him.
10 Atwari a marũa magĩthiĩ itũũra o itũũra kũu Efiraimu na Manase, o nginya Zebuluni, no rĩrĩ, andũ makĩmanyũrũria, na makĩmathekerera.
And as the runners were passing from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Menasseh and as far as Zebulun, they were laughing them to scorn, and mocking at them.
11 O na gũkĩrĩ ũguo-rĩ, andũ amwe a Asheri, na Manase, na Zebuluni makĩĩnyiihia na magĩthiĩ Jerusalemu.
Nevertheless some men of Asher and Menasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem.
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.
Also over Judah came the hand of God to give unto them one heart to do the command 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 there was gathered together at Jerusalem a numerous people to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great assembly.
14 Makĩeheria igongona iria ciarĩ kũu Jerusalemu o na makĩeheria igongona cia gũcinĩra ũbumba, magĩthiĩ magĩciikia Gĩtuamba gĩa Kidironi.
And they arose and removed the altars which were in Jerusalem, and all the vessels for burning incense did they take away, and they threw them into the brook Kidron.
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.
And they slaughtered the passover-sacrifice on the fourteenth day of the second month: and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought burnt-offerings unto 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 on their station after their prescribed manner, according to the law of Moses the man of God, the priest sprinkling the blood, [which they received] out of 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 there were many in the assembly that had not sanctified themselves: therefore the Levites had the charge of the slaughtering of the passover sacrifices for every one that was not clean, to sanctify [the same] unto 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 a large portion of the people, even many out of Ephraim, and Menasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, but ate the passover not as it is written. However Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, The Lord who is good will grant pardon for this.
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.”
To every one that hath directed his heart to seek God, the Lord the God of his fathers; though he be not [cleansed] according to the purification of the sanctuary.
20 Nake Jehova akĩigua ihooya rĩa Hezekia, akĩhonia andũ acio.
And the Lord hearkened to Hezekiah, and he 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 that were present at Jerusalem celebrated the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great joy; and the Levites and the priests praised the Lord day by day, with loud instruments before 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 Hezekiah spoke comfortingly unto all the Levites that had good intelligence of the Lord: and they ate the festive-offerings during seven days, offering peace-offerings, and making confession to the Lord the 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 whole assembly took counsel to celebrate other seven days: and they celebrated [these] seven days with joy.
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 Hezekiah king of Judah had provided for the assembly one thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep; and the princes had provided for the assembly one thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep: and the priests sanctified themselves in great numbers.
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 thus rejoiced all the assembly of Judah, and the priests and the Levites, and all the assembly that was come out of Israel, and the strangers that were come out of the land of Israel, and those that dwelt in Judah.
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: for since the time of Solomon the son of David the king of Israel had the like not been in Jerusalem.
27 Athĩnjĩri-Ngai na Alawii makĩrũgama, makĩrathima andũ, nake Ngai akĩmaigua, nĩgũkorwo ihooya rĩao nĩrĩakinyire o igũrũ, gĩikaro gĩake gĩtheru.
Then arose the priests the Levites and blessed the people: and their voice was listened to, and their prayer came to His holy dwelling-place, even unto heaven.
