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.

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 unto the LORD 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, and his princes, and all the congregation 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 sufficiently, neither had the people 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.

And the thing pleased the king and all the congregation.

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 Beer-sheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the passover unto the LORD God of Israel at Jerusalem: for they had not done [it] of a long [time in such sort] as it was 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 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 unto the LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you, that are 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.

And be not ye like your fathers, and like your brethren, which trespassed against the LORD God of their fathers, [who] therefore gave them up to desolation, as ye 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 be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers [were, but] yield yourselves unto 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 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 ye turn again unto the LORD, your brethren and your children [shall find] compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they shall come again into this land: for the LORD your God [is] gracious and merciful, and will not turn away [his] face from you, if ye return unto 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 posts passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh even unto Zebulun: but they laughed them to scorn, 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 divers of Asher and Manasseh and of 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 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 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.

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

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.

And they arose and took away the altars that [were] in Jerusalem, and all the altars for incense took they away, and cast [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: and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought in the burnt offerings into the house of the LORD.

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.

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] 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 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] unto 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, and Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet did they eat the passover otherwise than it was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, The good LORD pardon every one

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.

[That] prepareth his heart to seek God, the LORD God of his fathers, though [he be] not [cleansed] according to the purification of the sanctuary.

20 Hoolohe mai o Iehova ia Hezekia, a hoola mai oia i na kanaka.

And the LORD hearkened 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.

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 unto 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.

And Hezekiah spake comfortably unto all the Levites that taught the good knowledge of the LORD: and they did eat throughout the feast seven days, offering peace offerings, and making confession to the LORD 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.

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

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 out of the land of Israel, and that dwelt 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] not the like 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 priests the Levites arose and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer came [up] to his holy dwelling place, [even] unto heaven.
