2 Tantara 30
1 Le nampañitrik’ am’ Israele naho Iehoda iaby t’Iekizkia, nanokitse taratasy amy Efraime naho i Menasè, hañaveloa’ iareo mb’ añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà e Ierosalaime ao, hañambeñe ty fihelañ’ ambone’ Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ Israele.
Then Hezekiah sent an announcement to everyone in Israel and Judah, and also sent letters to Ephraim and Manasseh, inviting them to come to the Lord's Temple in Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover of the Lord, the God of Israel.
2 Fa nilahatse amo roandriañeo naho amy fivoribei’ Ierosalaime iabiy t’Iekizkia te hambenañe ami’ty volam-paha-roe’ i fihelañ’ amboney,
The king and his officials and the whole assembly in Jerusalem had decided to observe the Passover in the second month,
3 amy t’ie tsy nilefe amy andro’e, mbore tsy niampe o mpisoroñe nampiavahem-batañeo vaho mbe tsy nifanontoñe e Ierosalaime ao ondatio.
because they hadn't been able to observe it at the usual time since not enough priests had purified themselves and the people hadn't had time to get to Jerusalem.
4 Nahity am-pihaino’ i mpanjakay naho amy fivory iabiy izay.
The plan seemed right to both the king and the whole assembly.
5 Aa le nafe’ iereo te ho tsitsifen-koike t’Israele, boake Beer-Sevà pake Dane, hampihovañe mb’e Ierosalaime ao hañambeñe i fihelañ’ ambone am’ Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ Israeley, amy t’ie mboe tsy nambenañe am-pivondronañe manahake i pinatetsey.
So they decided to send an announcement to everyone in Israel, from Beersheba to Dan, inviting people to come and keep the Passover to the Lord, the God of Israel, in Jerusalem, for many had not done as the Law required.
6 Aa le nimb’ eo o mpihitrikeo rekets’ i taratasi’ i mpanjakay naho o roandria’eoy, nanitsike Israele naho Iehoda, ty amy nandilia’ i mpanjakay, nanao ty hoe: Ry ana’ Israele, mimpolia am’ Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ i Avrahame, Ietsake naho Israele, hibaliha’e ama’ areo nahapolititse am-pità’ o mpanjaka’ i Asoreo.
So messengers went to all of Israel and Judah carrying letters from the king and his officials and with the king's authorization. They said, “Children of Israel, return to the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, so that he may return to you who are left, who have escaped the oppression of the kings of Assyria.
7 Ko mitsikombe an-droae’ areo naho an-droahalahi’ areo niola am’ Iehovà, Andrianañaharen-droae’ iareo, kanao natolo’e ho rotsaheñe; ie o isa’ areo henaneo.
Don't be like your fathers and those of you who sinned against the Lord, the God of your forefathers He made them into something horrifying, as you can see.
8 Aa le ko mihagàn-katoke manahak’ an-droae’ areo; fe mamoea vatañe am’ Iehovà, le mimoaha amy toe-miavake nampiavaheñe ho nainai’ey vaho toroño t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo soa te hitolike ty haviñera’e miforoforo.
So don't be proud and obstinate like your fathers, but give yourselves to the Lord and come to his sanctuary, which he has made holy forever, and serve the Lord your God, that his fierce anger may no longer fall on you.
9 Aa naho mimpoly amy Iehovà nahareo le ho tendreke fitretrezañe o longo naho ana’ areo nikozozoteñe añe an-drohio, naho himpoly mb’an-tane atoy; fa matarike naho mpiferenaiñe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo vaho tsy hampitolihe’e ty lahara’e naho impolia’areo.
If you come back to the Lord, your relatives and children will receive mercy from their captors and will return to this land. For the Lord your God is gracious and merciful. He will not reject you if you come back to him.”
10 Aa le nitoañeñe t’i Efraime naho i Menasè pake Zebolone mb’an-drova an-drova o mpañitrikeo; fe nitohafañe amañ-inje naho kizake.
The messengers went from town to town all over the land of Ephraim and Manasseh as far as Zebulun; but the people laughed at them and mocked them.
11 Fe eo ty nirè-batañe am’ondati’ i Asere naho i Menasè vaho i Zeboloneo, le nimb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo.
Only some men from Asher, Manasseh, and Zebulun weren't too proud to go to Jerusalem.
12 Le tam’ Iehoda ka ty fitàn’ Añahare nanolots’ arofo raike ama’e hañorike ty lili’ i mpanjakay naho o roandriañeo ty amy tsara’ Iehovày.
At this time the power of God was helping the people in Judah to all have the same desire to follow the orders of the king and his officials, as indicated by the word of the Lord.
13 Aa le tsifotofoto t’indaty nifanontoñe e Ierosalaime ao hañambeñe ty sabadidak’ i mofo-tsi-aman-dalivaey amy volam-paha-roey, valobohòke nitozantoza.
Many people gathered in Jerusalem to celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread in the second month—a really large crowd.
14 Niongake le nafaha’ iareo o kitrely e Ierosalaime ao naho nendese’ iereo añe ka ze hene kitrelim-pañembohañe vaho navokovoko’ iareo an-torahan-Kidrone ao.
They went and removed the pagan altars in Jerusalem as well as the incense altars and threw them into the Kidron Valley.
15 Linenta’ iareo amy andro faha-folo-efats’ambi’ i volam-paharoey i vik’ añondri’ i fihelañ’amboney, ie nisalatse o mpisoroñeo naho o nte-Levio naho nañamasim-batañe vaho nanese engan-koroañe añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà ao,
On the fourteenth day of the second month they killed the Passover lamb. The priests and Levites were ashamed, and they purified themselves and brought burnt offerings to the Lord's Temple.
16 le nijohañe amo toetse nalahatse ho a iareoo, ty amy Tsara’ i Mosè ‘ndatin’ Añaharey; nafetsa’ o mpisoroñeo ty lio rinambe’ iareo am-pità’ o nte-Levio;
They stood at their assigned positions, according to the law of Moses, the man of God. The priests sprinkled the blood of the sacrifices, which the Levites gave to them.
17 amy te nimaro amy fivoriy ty tsy nañefe-batañe, le tamo nte-Levio ty lily handentàñe o vi’ i fihelañ’ amboneio hasolo ze hene tsy nalio, hañeferañe iareo amy Iehovà.
Since many people in the assembly had not purified themselves, the Levites had to kill the Passover lambs on behalf of every unclean person to dedicate the lambs to the Lord.
18 Toe maro t’indaty, àntsake o boak’ Efraime naho e Menasè naho e Isakare vaho e Zeboloneo ty tsy nahaefe-batañe, fe nikama’ iareo avao i fihelañ’ amboney ndra t’ie tsy do’e amy pinatetsey, amy te nihalaly ho a iareo t’Iekizkia ami’ty hoe: Hapò Iehovà, abey
Most of the people, many of those from Ephraim, Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not purified themselves. Yet they ate the Passover meal even though this was not what the Law required, for Hezekiah had prayed for them, saying, “May the good Lord forgive everyone
19 ze mamahatse ty arofo’e hipay an’ Andrianañahare; t’Iehovà, Andrianañaharen-droae’e ndra t’ie tsy do’e ty amy fañeferañe amy miavakey.
who sincerely wants to follow the Lord God, the God of their forefathers, even though they're not clean according to the sanctuary requirements.”
20 Hinao’ Iehovà t’Iekizkia le nijangañe’e ondatio.
The Lord accepted Hezekiah's prayer and permitted them this violation.
21 Nanao i sabadida-mofo-tsi-amandalivaey fito andro an-kafaleam-bey o ana’ Israeleo e Ierosalaimeo vaho nandrenge Iehovà handro an-kandro o mpisoroñeo naho o nte-Levio, nisabo reketse fititihañe mangatsìñe amy Iehovà.
The people of Israel who were there in Jerusalem celebrated the Feast of Unleavened Bread for seven days with great enthusiasm, and every day the Levites and priests praised the Lord, accompanied by loud instruments.
22 Le nosihe’ Iekizkia an-tsaontsy o nte-Levy nahimbañe amy fitoroñañe Iehovàio. Aa le songa nikama amy andro fito namantañañe rey ondatio naho nañenga sorom-pañanintsiñe vaho nañandriañe Iehovà, Andrianañaharen-droae’ iareo.
Hezekiah spoke positively to all the Levites who showed a good understanding of the Lord. For seven days they ate the food that was assigned to them, presented friendship offerings, and gave thanks to the Lord, the God of their forefathers.
23 Nilahare’ i valobohòkey amy zao t’ie mbe hambenañe andro fito ka; le nitana’ iareo an-kafaleañe i andro fito tovo’e rey.
Everyone then agreed to continue to celebrate the festival for seven more days. So for another seven days they celebrated, full of joy.
24 Fa natolo’ Iekizkia mpanjaka’ Iehoda amy fivoriy ty añombe arivo naho añondry fito arivo le nanolotse añombe arivo naho añondry rai-ale amy fivoriy ka o roandriañeo; vaho maro bey ty mpisoroñe nañefe-batañe.
Hezekiah, king of Judah, gave a thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep as offerings on behalf of the assembly. The officials in turn gave a thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep on as offerings on behalf of the assembly. A large number of priests purified themselves.
25 Le nirebeke iaby ty valobohò’ Iehoda, miharo amo mpisoroñeo naho o nte-Levio naho i valobohòke boake Israeley naho o renetane boak’ an-tane’ Israeleo vaho o mpimoneñe e Iehodào.
The whole assembly of Judah celebrated, together with the priests and Levites, and also with the whole assembly that had come from Israel, including the foreigners from Israel and those living in Judah.
26 Aa le nitoabotse ty hafaleañe e Ierosalaime ao; amy te sikal’ amy andro’ i Selomò ana’ i Davide mpanjaka’ Israeley tsy tama’ Ierosalaime ty nanahake izay.
There was such tremendous happiness in Jerusalem, for since the time of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel, nothing like this had happened in the city.
27 Niongak’ amy zao o mpisoroñe nte-Levio, nitata ondatio, le jinanjiñe ty fiarañanaña’ iareo; vaho nahatakatse i fimoneña’e masiñe añ’abo andindiñe añe, ty halali’ iareo.
The priests and the Levites stood up to bless the people, and God heard them—their prayer ascended to where he lived in heaven.
