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 messengers to all Israel and Judah, and also wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of Yahweh in Jerusalem, to celebrate the Passover to Yahweh, 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, his leaders, and all the assembly in Jerusalem had consulted together, deciding to celebrate 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.
They could not celebrate at the regular time, because not enough priests had consecrated themselves for the celebration and the people had not gathered together in Jerusalem.
4 A ua pololei ia mea i na maka o ke alii, a i na maka o ka ahakanaka a pau.
This proposal seemed 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 agreed to make a proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beersheba to Dan, that the people should come to celebrate the Passover to Yahweh, the God of Israel, in Jerusalem. For they had not observed it with large numbers of people according to what 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 couriers went with the letters from the king and his leaders throughout all Israel and Judah, by the command of the king. They said, “You people of Israel, turn back to Yahweh, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, so that he may turn back to the remnant of you who have escaped from 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 ancestors or your brothers, who trespassed against Yahweh, the God of their ancestors, so that he made them an object of horror, 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 stubborn, as your ancestors were; instead, give yourselves to Yahweh and come into his holy place, which he has consecrated forever, and worship Yahweh your God, so 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 back to Yahweh, your brothers and children will find compassion before those who led them away as prisoners, and they will come back into this land. For Yahweh your God, is gracious and merciful, and will not turn his face away 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 throughout the regions of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the way to Zebulun, but the people laughed at 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.
However, certain men 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.
The hand of God also came on Judah, to give them one heart, to carry out the command of the king and leaders by the word of Yahweh.
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, a very great assembly, gathered in Jerusalem to celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread in the second month.
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 rose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all the altars for incense; they 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 lambs on the fourteenth day of the second month. The priests and Levites were ashamed, so they consecrated themselves and brought burnt offerings into the house of Yahweh.
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 by their divisions, following the directions given in the law of Moses, the man of God. The priests sprinkled the blood that they received from 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 consecrated themselves. Therefore the Levites slaughtered the Passover lambs for everyone who was not purified and could not consecrate their sacrifice to Yahweh.
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 great many of the people, many of them from Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun, had not purified themselves, yet they ate the Passover meal, against the written instructions. For Hezekiah had prayed for them, saying, “May the good Yahweh 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, Yahweh, the God of his ancestors, even though he is not purified by the purification standards of the holy place.”
20 Hoolohe mai o Iehova ia Hezekia, a hoola mai oia i na kanaka.
So Yahweh 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 people of Israel who were present in Jerusalem kept the Festival of Unleavened Bread for seven days with great joy. The Levites and the priests praised Yahweh day after day, singing with loud instruments to Yahweh.
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 understood the service of Yahweh. So they ate throughout the festival for the seven days, offering sacrifices of fellowship offerings, and making confession to Yahweh, the God of their ancestors.
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 then decided to celebrate for another seven days, and they did so with joy.
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 the assembly one thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep as an offering; and the leaders gave to the assembly one thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep and goats. A large number of priests consecrated 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 people who came together from Israel, as well as the foreigners who came from the land of Israel and those who lived in Judah—they all 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 son of David, king of Israel, there had not been anything like it 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, rose and blessed the people. Their voice was heard, and their prayer went up to heaven, the holy place where God lives.
