II Oihanaalii 30
1 HOOUNA aku la o Hezekia a i ka Iseraela a pau, a me ka Iuda, a kakau no hoi oia i na palapala na ka Eperaima, a me Manase, e hele mai i ka hale o Iehova ma Ierusalema, e hana i ka ahaaina moliaola na Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela.
Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the LORD’s house at Jerusalem, to keep the Passover to the LORD, the God of Israel.
2 Ua kukakuka pu ke alii a me na alii iho ona, a me ka ahakanaka a pau ma Ierusalema, e hana i ka ahaaina moliaola i ka malama elua.
For the king had taken counsel with his princes and all the assembly in Jerusalem to keep the Passover in the second month.
3 No ka mea, aole i hiki ke hanaia ia manawa, no ka mea, aole i huikala pono na kahuna ia lakou iho, aole hoi i akoakoa mai na kanaka ma Ierusalema.
For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves in sufficient number, and the people had not gathered themselves together to Jerusalem.
4 A ua pololei ia mea i na maka o ke alii, a i na maka o ka ahakanaka a pau.
The thing was right in the eyes of the king and of all the assembly.
5 A kau lakou i ke kanawai, e kukala aku ma Iseraela a pau loa, mai Beereseba a hiki i Dana, e hele mai lakou e hana i ka ahaaina moliaola no Iehova, ke Akua o ka Iseraela ma Ierusalema; no ka mea, ua loihi ka ia ana wa i hana ole ai lakou e like me ka mea i kakauia'i.
So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beersheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the Passover to the LORD, the God of Israel, at Jerusalem, for they had not kept it in great numbers in the way it is written.
6 Alaila, hele aku la ka poe kukini me na palapala a ke alii, a me kona poe alii ma Iseraela a pau a me Iuda, e olelo ana e like me ke kauoha a ke alii, E na mamo a Iseraela, e huli mai ia Iehova ke Akua o Aberahama, a me Isaaka, a me Iseraela, a e huli mai no kela i ke koena, i ka poe o oukou i pakele, mai ka lima mai, o na'lii o Asuria.
So the couriers went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, according to the commandment of the king, saying, “You children of Israel, turn again to the LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, that he may return to the remnant of you that have escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.
7 Mai noho oukou e like me ko oukou poe makua, a me ko oukou poe hoahanau, ka poe i lawehala ia Iehova ke Akua o ko lakou poe kupuna, a haawi oia ia lakou e lukuia mai, e like me ka mea a oukou e ike nei.
Do not be like your fathers and like your brothers, who trespassed against the LORD, the God of their fathers, so that he gave them up to desolation, as you see.
8 Ano, hooolea oukou i ko oukou a-i e like me ko oukou poe kupuna; e hoolilo ia oukou iho no Iehova, a e komo oukou iloko o kona wahi hoano ana i hoano mau loa ai; a e hookauwa na Iehova ko oukou Akua, i huli ae ka wela o kona huhu mai o oukou aku.
Now do not be stiff-necked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves to the LORD, and enter into his sanctuary, which he has sanctified forever, and serve the LORD your God, that his fierce anger may turn away from you.
9 No ka mea, i ko oukou huli ana ia Iehova, e loaa ke alohaia mai i ko oukou poe hoahanau, a me ka oukou poe kamalii imua o ka poe i lawe pio aku ia lakou, a e hoi hou lakou i keia aina; no ka mea, ua ahonui, a ua lokomaikai o Iehova ko oukou Akua, aole e haliu kona maka mai oukou aku, ke huli oukou ia ia.
For if you turn again to the LORD, your brothers and your children will find compassion with those who led them captive, and will come again into this land, because the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you if you return to him.”
10 Pela i kaahele ai ka poe kukini mai kekahi kulanakauhale, i kekahi kulanakauhale ma ka aina o Eperaima, a me Manase a hiki i Zebuluna; aka, ua akaaka henehene na kanaka ia lakou me ka hoomaewaewa mai ia lakou.
So the couriers passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh, even to Zebulun, but people ridiculed them and mocked them.
11 Aka, o kekahi poe no Asera, a me Manase, a no Zebuluna, hoohaahaa lakou ia lakou iho, a hele mai i Ierusalema.
Nevertheless some men of Asher, Manasseh, and Zebulun humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem.
12 A maluna o ka Iuda ka lima o Iehova e haawi ia lakou i ka naau hookahi, e hana i ke kauoha a ke alii, a me na alii iho, e like me ke kanawai o Iehova.
Also the hand of God came on Judah to give them one heart, to do the commandment of the king and of the princes by the LORD’s word.
13 A akoakoa mai la ma Ierusalema na kanaka he nui loa e hana i ka ahaaina berena hu ole, i ka malama elua, he ahakanaka nui loa.
Many people assembled at Jerusalem to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great assembly.
14 Alaila, ku ae la lakou iluna a lawe aku lakou i na kuahu ma Ierusalema, a lawe aku no hoi lakou i na ipuahi, a hoolei ia mau mea iloko o ke kahawai o Kederona.
They arose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and they took away all the altars for incense and threw them into the brook Kidron.
15 A pepehi lakou i ka mohai moliaola i ka la umikumamaha o ka malama elua; a o na kahuna a me na Levi, ua hilahila lakou, a huikala lakou ia lakou iho, a lawe lakou i na mohaikuni iloko o ka hale o Iehova.
Then they killed the Passover on the fourteenth day of the second month. The priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought burnt offerings into the LORD’s house.
16 Ku ae la lakou iluna ma ko lakou wahi e like me ka lakou oihana i kauohaia'i e Mose, ke kanaka o ke Akua; a o na kahuna, kapipi iho la lakou i ke koko i loaa ia lakou ma ka lima o na Levi.
They stood in their place after their order, according to the law of Moses the man of God. The priests sprinkled the blood which they received of the hand of the Levites.
17 No ka mea, ua nui ka poe iwaena o ka ahakanaka i huikala ole ia lakou iho; nolaila, aia na Levi maluna o ka pepehi ana i ka mohai moliaola no ka poe maemae ole, i mea e huikala ai ia lakou no Iehova.
For there were many in the assembly who had not sanctified themselves; therefore the Levites were in charge of killing the Passovers for everyone who was not clean, to sanctify them to the LORD.
18 No ka mea, he lehulehu ka poe kanaka no Eperaima, a me Manase, a me Isekara, a me Zebuluna, aole i huikala lakou ia lakou iho, aka, ai no nae lakou i ka ahaaina moliaola, aole e like me ka mea i kakauia. Aka, pule o Hezekia no lakou, i aku la, E kala mai oe, e Iehova ka maikai,
For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim, Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet they ate the Passover other than the way it is written. For Hezekiah had prayed for them, saying, “May the good LORD pardon everyone
19 I kela mea keia mea i hoomakaukau i kona naau e imi i ke Akua ia Iehova, ke Akua o kona poe kupuna, aole nae i maemae e like me ka huikala ana o ka luakini.
who sets his heart to seek God, the LORD, the God of his fathers, even if they are not clean according to the purification of the sanctuary.”
20 Hoolohe mai o Iehova ia Hezekia, a hoola mai oia i na kanaka.
The LORD listened to Hezekiah, and healed the people.
21 A o ka poe mamo a Iseraela a pau ma Ierusalema, hana lakou i ka ahaaina berena hu ole i na la ehiku, me ka olioli nui: a hoolea aku na kahuna a me na mamo a Levi ia Iehova i kela la i keia la, me na mea kani ikaika ia Iehova.
The children of Israel who were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness. The Levites and the priests praised the LORD day by day, singing with loud instruments to the LORD.
22 Olelo oluolu aku o Hezekia i na Levi a pau, ka poe i ao aku ma ka ike pono ia Iehova: a ai lakou i ka ahaaina i na la ehiku, a mohai aku lakou i na mohai aloha, a hai aku lakou i ko lakou hewa ia Iehova ke Akua o ko lakou poe kupuna.
Hezekiah spoke encouragingly to all the Levites who had good understanding in the service of the LORD. So they ate throughout the feast for the seven days, offering sacrifices of peace offerings and making confession to the LORD, the God of their fathers.
23 A kukakuka pu ka poe ahakanaka a pau e hana i na la ehiku hou aku: a hana no lakou i na la ehiku hou aku me ka olioli.
The whole assembly took counsel to keep another seven days, and they kept another seven days with gladness.
24 No ka mea, ua haawi o Hezekia ke alii o ka Iuda na ka ahakanaka i hookahi tausani bipi a me na hipa ehiku tausani; a haawi na alii na ka ahakanaka i hookahi tausani bipi, a me na hipa he umi tausani: a o na kahuna he nui loa, huikala lakou ia lakou iho.
For Hezekiah king of Judah gave to the assembly for offerings one thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the assembly a thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep; and a great number of priests sanctified themselves.
25 Hauoli no ka ahakanaka a pau o ka Iuda, o na kahuna, a me na Levi, a o ka ahakanaka a pau i hele mai, no ka Iseraela, a me na malihini i hele mai ka aina o Iseraela mai, a me ka poe i noho ma Iuda.
All the assembly of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the assembly who came out of Israel, and the foreigners who came out of the land of Israel and who lived in Judah, rejoiced.
26 Ua nui ka hauoli ana ma Ierusalema: no ka mea, mai ka wa ia Solomona o ke keiki a Davida ke alii o ka Iseraela mai, aohe mea like ma Ierusalema.
So there was great joy in Jerusalem; for since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there was nothing like this in Jerusalem.
27 Ku ae la iluna na kahuna, a me na Levi, a hoomaikai aku i na kanaka: a ua loheia ko lakou leo, a ua hiki ka lakou pule i kona wahi hoano i ka lani.
Then the Levitical priests arose and blessed the people. Their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy habitation, even to heaven.
