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.
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 Fa nilahatse amo roandriañeo naho amy fivoribei’ Ierosalaime iabiy t’Iekizkia te hambenañe ami’ty volam-paha-roe’ i fihelañ’ amboney,
For the king had taken counsel with his princes and all the assembly in Jerusalem to keep 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.
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 Nahity am-pihaino’ i mpanjakay naho amy fivory iabiy izay.
The thing was right in the eyes of the king and of all the 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 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 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 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 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 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 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.
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 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.
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 Aa le nitoañeñe t’i Efraime naho i Menasè pake Zebolone mb’an-drova an-drova o mpañitrikeo; fe nitohafañe amañ-inje naho kizake.
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 Fe eo ty nirè-batañe am’ondati’ i Asere naho i Menasè vaho i Zeboloneo, le nimb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo.
Nevertheless some men of Asher, Manasseh, and Zebulun humbled themselves and came 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.
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 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 assembled at Jerusalem to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great assembly.
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 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 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,
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 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 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 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.
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 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
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 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 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 Hinao’ Iehovà t’Iekizkia le nijangañe’e ondatio.
The LORD listened to Hezekiah, and healed the people.
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 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 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 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 Nilahare’ i valobohòkey amy zao t’ie mbe hambenañe andro fito ka; le nitana’ iareo an-kafa­leañe i andro fito tovo’e rey.
The whole assembly took counsel to keep another seven days, and they kept another seven days with gladness.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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.
