Luo Chronicle 30

1 Hezekiah el supwalik kas nu fin acn Israel ac Judah nufon, ac el oayapa simusla leta ac supwala nu sin sruf lal Ephraim ac sruf lal Manasseh, tuh elos in tuku nu ke Tempul in Jerusalem, in oru Kufwen Alukela nu sin LEUM GOD lun Israel.

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 Tokosra ac mwet pwapa lal, ac mwet nukewa su tukeni in acn Jerusalem, elos insesela tuh Kufwen Alukela in orek ke malem se akluo.

For the king had taken counsel with his princes and all the assembly in Jerusalem to keep the Passover in the second month.

3 Elos tuh tia ku in oru ke pacl fal, ke sripen supus mwet tol su aknasnasyeyukla, ac oayapa supus mwet toeni nu Jerusalem.

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 Tokosra ac mwet uh insewowo ke oakwuk se elos orala inge.

The thing was right in the eyes of the king and of all the assembly.

5 Ke ma inge, elos suli mwet Israel nukewa, liki Dan in acn epang nwe Beersheba in acn eir, tuh elos in tukeni nu Jerusalem ac akfulatye Kufwen Alukela in fal nu ke Ma Sap. Enenu in pus mwet tukeni in pacl se inge liki pacl nukewa meet.

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 Tokosra ac mwet pwapa lal elos supwala mwet utuk kas nu yen nukewa in Judah ac Israel. Pa inge ma elos sulkakin: “Mwet Israel, kowos moulla liki poun mwet Assyria ke elos tuh mweuni ac kutangla facl sesr. Inge kowos foloko nu yurin LEUM GOD lal Abraham, Isaac, ac Jacob, ac El ac fah folokot nu yuruwos.

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 Nimet oana papa tomowos ac mwet Israel wiowos su tia pwaye nu sin LEUM GOD lalos. Kowos sifacna liye lah El sang kai upa nu selos.

Don’t 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 Nik kowos likkeke oana elos, a kowos in akos LEUM GOD. Fahsru nu ke Tempul in acn Jerusalem, yen LEUM GOD lowos El orala in mutal nwe tok, ac alu nu sel, tuh Elan tia sifil kasrkusrak suwos.

Now don’t 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 Kowos fin foloko nu yurin LEUM GOD na mwet su usla mwet wiowos nu in sruoh elos ac fah pakomutalos ac folokunulos nu yen selos. LEUM GOD lowos El kulang ac pakoten, ac kowos fin foloko nu yorol, El ac fah tia ngetla liki kowos.”

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 Mwet utuk kas elos som nu in siti nukewa in acn lun sruf lal Ephraim ac Manasseh, ac elos som na nwe layen epang nu ke sruf lal Zebulun, a mwet we isrunulos ac aksruksrukelos.

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 Tusruktu oasr na mwet in sruf lal Asher, Manasseh, ac Zebulun, su lungse tuku nu Jerusalem.

Nevertheless some men of Asher, Manasseh, and Zebulun humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem.

12 God El oayapa oru tuh mwet in acn Judah in nunak sefanna ac engan in oru ma lungse lal ke elos akos ma tokosra ac mwet pwapa lal sapkin nu selos.

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 Mwet puspis tukeni nu Jerusalem in malem akluo in akfulatye Kufwen Bread Tia Akpulol.

Many people assembled at Jerusalem to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great assembly.

14 Elos usla loang nukewa in Jerusalem su tuh orekmakinyuk nu ke kisa ac nu ke akosak ma keng, ac sisla Infahlfal Kidron.

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 Ac ke len aksingoul akosr in malem sac, elos uniya sheep fusr nu ke Kufwen Alukela. Mwet tol ac mwet Levi su tia aknasnasla elos mwekin, na elos sifacna kisakunulosyang nu sin LEUM GOD, na toko elos fah ku in kisakin mwe kisa firir in Tempul.

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 Elos tu ke acn selos in Tempul, fal nu ke ma oakwuk in Ma Sap lal Moses, mwet lun God. Mwet Levi elos sang nu sin mwet tol srah ke ma kisakinyukla, tuh elos in sang aksroksrokye loang uh.

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 Na ke sripen pus mwet uh tia aknasnasla, elos tia ku in uniya sheep fusr nu ke Kufwen Alukela. Ouinge mwet Levi elos aolulos in orala, ac kisakunla sheep fusr inge nu sin LEUM GOD.

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 Sayen ma inge, pus sin mwet su tuku in sruf lal Ephraim, Manasseh, Issachar, ac Zebulun, tiana aknasnasla, tusruktu elos wi mongo ke kufwa uh, ac ma inge sie liki ma oakwuk in ma simusla. Tokosra Hezekiah el pre kaclos ac fahk,

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 “O LEUM GOD lun papa matu tumasr, ke lungkulang lulap lom, nunak munas nu selos inge su alu nu sum ke insialos kewa, elos finne tia aknasnasyalos.”

who sets his heart to seek God, the LORD, the God of his fathers, even if they aren’t clean according to the purification of the sanctuary.”

20 LEUM GOD El lohng pre lal Hezekiah, ac El nunak munas nu selos.

The LORD listened to Hezekiah, and healed the people.

21 Mwet su tukeni in acn Jerusalem, elos akfulatye Kufwen Bread Tia Akpulol ke len itkosr ac elos engan ma lulap. Len nu len mwet Levi ac mwet tol elos kaksakin LEUM GOD ke kuiyalos nufon.

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 Hezekiah el kaksakin mwet Levi ke elos arulana pah in kol alu nu sin LEUM GOD. Tukun len itkosr ma elos oru kisa in kaksak lalos nu sin LEUM GOD lun mwet matu lalos meet ah,

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 na elos nukewa insese in sifilpa oru akfulat lalos ke len itkosr pac, ouinge elos tafwela akfulat lalos wi engan lulap.

The whole assembly took counsel to keep another seven days, and they kept another seven days with gladness.

24 Tokosra Hezekiah el sang sie tausin cow mukul ac itkosr tausin sheep tuh mwet uh in uniya ac mongo kac. Ac mwet pwapa lal srukak pac sie tausin cow mukul ac singoul tausin sheep. Sie u na lulap sin mwet tol elos aknasnasyalosla sifacna.

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 Ouinge mwet nukewa engan — mwet Judah, mwet tol, mwet Levi, mwet su tuku in acn epang me, oayapa mwetsac su mutana in acn Israel ac Judah.

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 Siti Jerusalem sessesla ke engan, mweyen soenna oasr pacl ma ouiya inge orek oe ke pacl lal Tokosra Solomon, wen natul David, nwe inge.

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 Mwet tol ac mwet Levi siyuk ke akinsewowo lun LEUM GOD nu sin mwet uh. LEUM GOD El muta in acn sel inkusrao ac lohng pre lalos, ac El insese nu kac.

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.
