1 Ra Anumzamofo nonte Jerusalemi e'za, Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe' Anumzamo'ma Ozmahe Zamagatere'nea zanku eme antahimiza musenkase hihogu, maka Israeli vahetegane, Juda vahetegama kema erino vuno enoma hu vahera Hezekaia'a huzmantege'za nevazageno, ana zanke huno Efraemi nagategane Manase nagateganena avona kretregeno vu'ne.

The king and his officials and all the other people who had gathered in Jerusalem wanted to celebrate the Passover Festival. But they were not able to celebrate it at the usual time, because many of the priests had still not performed the rituals to purify themselves; therefore they were not allowed to do serve in the festival. Also, everyone had still not come to Jerusalem [to celebrate the Passover]. So they decided to celebrate it one month later than usual.

2 Hagi kini ne'ene, eri'za vahe'aramine, maka Jerusalemi kumapima nemiza vahe'mo'zanena, namba 2 ikante eme atru hu'za ne'zana kre'za nene'za Anumzamo'ma Ozmahe Zamagatere'nea zanku'ma antahiminaku antahintahia retroma haza zamo'a knare hu'ne.

The king and all the other people who had gathered thought that was a good plan.

5 Ana hige'za mika Israeli mopafima sauti kaziga Besebati'ma marerino noti kaziga Dani moparegama mani'naza vahetmintega kea atre'za, maka vahera Jerusalemi kumapi eme atru huta Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamo'ma Ozmahe Zmagatere'nea zanku'ma antahimiza kre'za nenaza ne'za kreta neneta antahimiho hu'za hu'naze. Na'ankure kasegefima krente'nea kante ante'za ana maka vahe'mo'za ana kna kegava hu'za ovariri'nazanki, osi'a vahe'mo'za kegava hu'za avariri'naze.

So they decided to send messages to all the towns in Judah and in Israel, from Beersheba [in the far south] to Dan [in the far north], including towns in the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh, to invite people to come to the temple in Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover [Festival] to [honor] Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli people [worshiped/belonged to]. Many of the people had not previously celebrated that festival, even though it had been written [in the laws of Moses that they should do that].

6 E'ina hu'negu kini ne'mo'a maka Israeli vahetegane, Juda vaheteganena amanage huno avona kreteno zamige'za avoma erino vuno eno'ma hu vahe'mo'za eri'za vu'naze. Maka Israeli vahe'mota ete rukrahe huta Ra Anumzana Abrahamune, Aisakine, Israeli vahe Anumzamofonte enkeno, osi'a nagama Siria kini ne'mo'ma tamavararigetama fre'naza nagara Ra Anumzamo'a rukrahe huno eno tamagrane emanigahie.

Obeying what the king commanded, messengers went throughout Judah and Israel, taking messages that had been written by the king and his officials. This is what they wrote: “You Israeli people, you who survived after being slaves of the kings of Assyria, return to Yahweh, the God whom [our great ancestors] Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob [worshiped/belonged to], in order that he may return to you. Your fathers and brothers did not faithfully obey Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors [worshiped].

7 Hagi kote'ma tamagehe'zane tamafuhe'zanema Ra Anumzana tamagehe'i Anumzamofoma zamefi'ma humiza azeri arimpama hazageno, zamahe frigetama ke'nazazana osiho.

Do not act like they did, because what they did caused other people to become disgusted with them.

8 Tamagehe'zama hu'naza zana huta Anumzamofo kegura tamagu'a azeri hankave otita, Ra Anumzamofo agoraga nemanita, eri ruotge'ma hu'nea mono noma'afi eta Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamofo monora eme huntenkeno arimpama aheneramantea zamo'a ome amne hino.

Do not be stubborn as our ancestors were. Do what Yahweh desires. Come [to Jerusalem] to the temple, which he has set apart forever. Do what pleases Yahweh our God, in order that he will no longer be angry with you.

9 Na'ankure Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamo'a rimpa fru huno asunku Anumzankino tamagrama ete rukrahe'ma huta Agritegama esageno'a avresra huramanteno amagena huoramigahie.

If you return to Yahweh, the people who have captured our brothers [and sisters] and our children will be kind to them, and allow them to return to this land. Do not forget that Yahweh our God is kind and merciful. If you return to him, he will no longer reject you.”

10 Higeno ana avona, avoma erino vuno eno hu vahe'mo'za eri'za kumate kumate Efraemi mopafine, Manase mopafine, Zebuluni mopafi vahetmina zamiza vu'nazanagi, ana kegura hunte'za kiza zokago ke hu'naze.

The messengers went to all the towns in the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh, as far [north] as the tribe of Zebulun, [and gave them this message, ] but most of the people there scorned them and ridiculed them.

11 Hianagi Asa nagapinti'ene Manase nagapinti'ene Zebuluni nagapinti'enena osi'a naga'mo'za anankema nentahi'za zmavufga anteramiza, Jerusalemi kumatera e'naze.

But some of the people of [the tribes of] Asher, Manasseh, and Zebulun humbled themselves and went to Jerusalem.

12 Ana'ma nehazageno'a, Anumzamo'a Juda naga'mofonte azana anteno zamagua eri mago hige'za Ra Anumzamo'ma kini ne'ene eri'za vahe'araminema zamasamige'za ome zamasmiza zana amage ante'za ana zana hu'naze.

Also in Judah God motivated the people to be united in wanting to do what Yahweh wanted them to do, which is what the king and his officials had told them to do in the message that they sent.

13 Hagi namba 2 ikantera tusi'a vahe'mo'za Zo-ore Breti kre'za nene'za musenkase hu'naku Jerusalemi kumatera eme atru hu'naze.

So a huge crowd of people gathered in Jerusalem in May, to celebrate the Festival of Eating Unleavened Bread.

14 Hagi mika havi anumzante'ma Kresramana vu itaramine, mika mnanentake'za kre mnama vu itaramima Jerusalemi kumapima me'neana eri'za vu'za Kidroni agupofi ome atre'naze.

They removed the altars [of Baal] in Jerusalem and took away the altars for burning incense [to honor other gods, and burned them] in Kidron Valley.

15 Hagi namba 2 ikamofo 14ni zupa Ozmahe Zamagatere'nea zanku'ma antahimi'za, sipisipi anentatamina ahe'naze. Ana'ma hazage'za pristi vahe'mo'za zamagazegu nehu'za zamagra'a zamazeri ruotge hute'za, kresramanama vu ofa eri'za Ra Anumzamofo nompi vu'naze.

They slaughtered the Passover lambs on the fourteenth day of that month. Some of the priests and the other descendants of Levi were ashamed [because they had not performed the rituals to cause them to be acceptable to work for Yahweh]. So they performed those rituals, and brought to the temple animals to be completely burned [on the altar].

16 Hagi Anumzamofo eri'za vahe Mosese kasegefima me'nea kante ante'za, pristi vahetamine Livae vahe'mo'za eri'za kankamuzmire otitere hu'ne'za, Livae vahe'mo'za korana eri'za pristi vahe'ma eme zamizage'za eri'za kre sramnavu itarera ru tritri hu'naze.

Then they stood at the places where Moses had written in his laws that they should stand. Then the descendants of Levi gave to the priests [bowls containing blood of the animals that were being sacrificed], and the priests sprinkled [the altar] with some of the blood.

17 Na'ankure ana vahe kevufina zamazeri agruma osu vahetmina rama'a mani'naze. E'ina hu'negu Livae vahe'mo'za Ozmahe Zmagatere'nea zanku'ma antahimiza nehaza sipisipi anentatamina mago mago vahe'mofo amente amente ahe'za zamazeri agru hu'naze. Na'ankure ana maka vahe'mo'za agrua osu'nazankiza Ra Anumzamofontera sipisipi afu anentamina ohe'naze.

Many people in the crowd had not purified themselves, and therefore they were not able to kill the lambs [and dedicate them] to Yahweh. So it was necessary for the descendants of Levi to kill the lambs for them.

18 Hagi Efraemi nagapinti'ene, Manase nagapinti'ene Isaka nagapinti'ene Zebuluni nagapinti'enema e'naza vahera, kini ne' Hezekai'a nunamuna huzmantetege'za, kasegea amagera ante'za zamagra'a zamazeri agru osu'nazanagi, Ozamahe Zmagatere'nea zanku'ma antahimi'za nenaza ne'zana amne ne'naze. Na'ankure Hezekaia'a amanage huno nunamuna hu'ne, Knare Ra Anumzamoka magoke magoke vahe'mofo kumira apasezmanto.

Although most of the people who had come from [the tribes of] Ephraim, Manasseh, and Issachar had not purified themselves, they ate the food of the Passover Festival anyway, ignoring the rules written [by Moses]. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying “Yahweh, you always do what is good; I pray that you will forgive everyone

19 Hagi mono nomofo kasegema amage antezamo azeri agru osugahianagi, iza'o, Anumzamofonte'ma agu'ama anteno Ra Anumzana agehe'i Anumzamofoma amagema antesia vahera kumi'a apasento.

who sincerely wants to honor you, the God whom our ancestors [worshiped], even if they have not purified themselves by obeying the sacred laws that you gave to us.”

20 Anage higeno Ra Anumzamo'a Hezekaia nunamuna antahimino vahetmina zamazeri knare nehuno, kumizmia atrezmante'ne.

And Yahweh heard what Hezekiah prayed; he forgave the people, [and did not punish them].

21 Hagi Israeli vahetmima Jerusalemi kumate'ma atruma hu'naza vahe'mo'za 7ni'a knafi Zo-ore Bretima nenaza knaguma antahimi ne'zana kre'za nene'za, musena nehazageno Livae vahe'ene, pristi vahe'mo'za maka kna zavenaramina nehe'za zagamera hu'za Ra Anumzamofona maka hanavezmireti hu'za agi'a erisga hu'naze.

The Israeli people who were there in Jerusalem celebrated the Festival of Eating Unleavened Bread for seven days. They rejoiced greatly as they celebrated, while the priests and other descendants of Levi sang to Yahweh every day, and played musical instruments to [praise] God.

22 Hezekai'a knare antahintahima ante'za Ra Anumzamofo eri'zama eri'za Livae vahetmina zamazeri hankavetike zamasami'ne. Anagema hutege'za Israeli vahe'mo'za 7ni'a knama huhampri'naza knafi ne'zana kre'za nene'za zamarimpa fru ofa nehu'za, Ra Anumzana zamagehe'i Anumzamofona susu hunte'naze.

Hezekiah thanked all the descendants of Levi for doing this work for Yahweh, and for very skillfully leading the people who were worshiping. For those seven days the people ate the Passover food and brought offerings to maintain fellowship with Yahweh and praised Yahweh, the God whom their ancestors [belonged to/had worshiped].

23 Ana hute'za maka vahe'mo'za mago zamarimpa hu'za mago'ene 7ni'a zagegna erinte'za, Ozmahe Zmagatere'nea zankura ne'zana kre'za nene'za antahimi'naze. E'ina hige'za 7ni'a zagegnafi ne'zana kre'za nene'za musenkase hu'naze.

Then the whole group decided to celebrate for seven more days, so they did: They celebrated joyfully for seven more days.

24 Hagi kini ne' Hezekai'a Juda vahetmina, ofama hu'zana 1tauseni'a bulimakao afutminki, 7tauseni'a sipisipi afutminki huno zamigeno, kini ne'mofo eri'zama e'neriza kva vahe'mo'za 1tauseni'a bulimakao afutminki, 10 tauseni'a sipisipi afutminki hu'za zami'naze. Hagi rama'a pristi vahe'mo'za zamagra'a zamazeri agrua Anumzamofo avurera hu'naze.

King Hezekiah provided 1,000 bulls and 7,000 sheep to be slaughtered for the people [to eat during the festival], and the officials also gave them 1,000 bulls and 10,000 sheep and goats. Many priests consecrated themselves.

25 Hagi maka Juda vahe'mo'zane, maka vahetmima Israeli mopafinti'ma e'naza vahe'mo'zane, pristi vahe'mo'zane, Livae vahe'mo'zane, maka ruregati'ma Juda mopafima enemaniza vahe'mo'zanena musenkase hu'naze.

All the people of Judah rejoiced, including the priests and other descendants of Levi and all the people from Israel who had come, and including some from other countries who were living in Israel and some from other countries who were living in Judah.

26 E'ina higeno Jerusalemi kumapina vahe'mo'za tusi muse hu'naze. Na'ankure Israeli kini ne' Deviti nemofo Solomoni knareti'ma eno ana knare'ma ehanati'neana, e'inahu'zana Jerusalemi kumapina fore osu'nea knaza fore hu'ne.

Everyone in Jerusalem was very joyful, because nothing like this had happened in Jerusalem since the time when David’s son Solomon was the king of Israel.

27 Hagi anante pristi vahe'mo'zane Livae vahe'mo'zanena oti'za ana vahetmina asomu ke huzmantageno, Anumzamo'a nunamu zamia antahi'ne. Na'ankure nunamu zamimo'a monafinka Ra Anumzamo'ma nemania ruotge kumapi mareri'ne.

The priests and the other descendants of Levi stood up to bless the people, and God heard them in heaven, the holy place where he lives.
