2 Seenaa 30
1 Hisqiyaas akka isaan Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼeliif Faasiikaa ayyaaneffachuuf jedhanii gara Yerusaalem, gara mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo dhufaniif Israaʼelii fi Yihuudaa hundatti ergaa erge; Efreemii fi Minaaseetti immoo xalayaa barreesse.
And Ezechias sent to all Israel and Juda: and he wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasses, that they should come to the house of the Lord in Jerusalem, and keep the phase to the Lord the God of Israel.
2 Mootichii fi qondaaltonni isaa akkasumas waldaan Yerusaalem keessa jiru hundi jiʼa lammaffaatti Faasiikaa ayyaaneffachuuf murteessan.
For the king, taking counsel, and the princes, and all the assembly of Jerusalem, decreed to keep the phase the second month.
3 Isaan sababii luboonni of qulqulleessan lakkoobsaan gaʼoo hin taʼinii fi sababii namoonni Yerusaalemitti walitti hin qabaminiif yeroo barbaachisaa taʼetti Faasiikaa ayyaaneffachuu hin dandeenye.
For they could not keep it in its time; because there were not priests enough sanctified, and the people was not as yet gathered together to Jerusalem.
4 Karoorri sunis mootichaa fi waldaa sana guutuu ni gammachiise.
And the thing pleased the king, and all the people.
5 Isaanis akka namoonni Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼeliif Faasiikaa ayyaaneffachuuf jedhanii gara Yerusaalem dhufaniif Bersheebaa hamma Daanitti Israaʼel hunda keessa labsii labsuuf murteessan. Ayyaanni Faasiikaa akka barreeffametti iddoo namoonni hedduun jiranitti ayyaaneffamee hin beekuutii.
And they decreed to send messengers to all Israel from Bersabee even to Dan, that they should come, and keep the phase to the Lord the God of Israel in Jerusalem: for many had not kept it as it is prescribed by the law.
6 Ergamoonnis ajaja mootichaatiin xalayaa mootichaa fi qondaaltota isaa biraa ergame fuudhanii guutummaa Israaʼelii fi Yihuudaa keessa qajeelan; xalayaan sunis akkana jedha: “Yaa saba Israaʼel, akka inni gara keessan gara warra haftanii harka mootota Asoor jalaa baatan sanaatti deebiʼuuf gara Waaqayyo Waaqa Abrahaam, Waaqa Yisihaaqii fi Waaqa Israaʼelitti deebiʼaa.
And the posts went with letters by commandment of the king, and his princes, to all Israel and Juda, proclaiming according to the king’s orders: Ye children of Israel, turn again to the Lord the God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Israel: and he will return to the remnant of you that have escaped the hand of the king of the Assyrians.
7 Akka abbootii keessanii fi akka obboloota keessan kanneen inni sababii isaan Waaqayyo Waaqa abbootii isaaniif amanamuu didaniif akkuma isin argitan kana waan fafaa isaan godhe sanaa hin taʼinaa.
Be not like your fathers, and brethren, who departed from the Lord the God of their fathers, and he hath given them up to destruction, as you see.
8 Isin akka abbootii keessanii mata jabeeyyii hin taʼinaa; Waaqayyootti harka kennadhaa. Gara iddoo qulqullummaa isaa kan inni bara baraan qulqulleesse sanaa kottaa. Akka dheekkamsi isaa sodaachisaan sun isin irraa deebiʼuuf Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan tajaajilaa.
Harden not your necks, as your fathers did: yield yourselves to the Lord, and come to his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified for ever: serve the Lord the God of your fathers, and the wrath of his indignation shall be turned away from you.
9 Sababii Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan arjaa fi gara laafessa taʼeef isin yoo gara Waaqayyootti deebitan obboloonni keessanii fi ijoolleen keessan warra isaan boojiʼan biratti gara laafina ni argatu; biyya kanattis ni deebiʼu. Isin yoo gara isaatti deebitan inni fuula isaa isin irraa hin garagalfatu.”
For if you turn again to the Lord: your brethren, and children shall find mercy before their masters, that have led them away captive, and they shall return into this land: for the Lord your God is merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if you return to him.
10 Ergamoonnis Efreemii fi Minaasee keessa magaalaa tokkoo gara magaalaa kaaniitti naannaʼaa hamma Zebuuloonitti deeman; namoonni garuu isaan tuffatan; itti qoosanis.
So the posts went speedily from city to city, through the land of Ephraim, and of Manasses, even to Zabulon, whilst they laughed at them and mocked them.
11 Namoonni Aasheer, kan Minaasee fi kan Zebuuloon tokko tokko garuu gad of qabanii Yerusaalem dhaqan.
Nevertheless some men of Aser, and of Manasses, and of Zabulon, yielding to the counsel, came to Jerusalem.
12 Akka isaan waan mootichii fi qondaaltonni isaa akkuma dubbii Waaqayyootti ajajanii turan sana hojjetaniif harki Waaqaa yaada tokko isaanii kennuuf akkasuma Yihuudaa irra ture.
But the hand of God was in Juda, to give them one heart to do the word of the Lord, according to the commandment of the king, and of the princes.
13 Tuunni akka malee guddaan tokko jiʼa lammaffaatti Ayyaana Maxinoo ayyaanessuuf Yerusaalem keessatti walitti qabame.
And much people were assembled to Jerusalem to celebrate the solemnity of the unleavened bread in the second month:
14 Isaanis iddoowwan aarsaa kanneen Yerusaalem keessa turan bubuqqisanii, iddoowwan aarsaa ixaanaas diiganii geessanii Sulula Qeedroonitti ni gatan.
And they arose and destroyed the altars that were in Jerusalem, and took sway all things in which incense was burnt to idols, and cast them into the torrent Cedron.
15 Guyyaa kudha afuraffaa jiʼa lammaffaattis hoolaa Faasiikaa qalan. Luboonnii fi Lewwonnis qaanaʼanii of qulqulleessuudhaan aarsaa gubamu gara mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo fidan.
And they immolated the phase on the fourteenth day of the second month. And the priests and the Levites being at length sanctified offered holocausts in the house of the Lord.
16 Ergasiis akkuma Seera Musee nama Waaqaa sanaa keessatti ajajametti iddoo isaaniif ramadame ni qabatan. Luboonnis dhiiga Lewwonni isaanitti kennan sana ni faffacaasan.
And they stood in their order according to the disposition, and law of Moses the man of God: but the priests received the blood which was to be poured out, from the hands of the Levites,
17 Sababii waldaa sana keessaa namoonni hedduun of hin qulqulleessiniif Lewwonni namoota akka seeraatti hin qulqullaaʼinii fi namoota hoolota isaanii Waaqayyoof qulqulleessuu hin dandaʼin hundaaf jedhanii hoolota Faasiikaa ni qalu turan.
Because a great number was not sanctified: and therefore the Levites immolated the phase for them that came not in time to be sanctified to the Lord.
18 Namoota biyya Efreem, Minaasee, Yisaakorii fi Zebuuloonii dhufan hedduu keessaa garri caalu of qulqulleessuu baatan iyyuu isaan waan barreeffameen alatti Faasiikaa nyaatan; Hisqiyaas garuu akkana jedhee Waaqa kadhateef; “Yaa Waaqayyoo tolaa,
For a great part of the people from Ephraim, and Manasses, and Issachar, and Zabulon, that had not been sanctified, ate the phase otherwise than it is written: and Ezechias prayed for them, saying: The Lord who is good will shew mercy,
19 nama garaa isaatiin siʼi Waaqayyo Waaqa abbootii isaa barbaaduuf kutate hunda yoo inni akka seera iddoo qulqulluutti qulqullaaʼaa taʼuu baate illee ati araaramiif.”
To all them, who with their whole heart, seek the Lord the God of their fathers: and will not impute it to them that they are not sanctified.
20 Waaqayyos kadhannaa Hisqiyaas dhagaʼee saba sana ni fayyise.
And the Lord heard him, and was merciful to the people.
21 Israaʼeloonni Yerusaalem keessatti argamanii turan gammachuu guddaadhaan bultii torba Ayyaana Maxinoo ayyaaneffatan; Lewwonnii fi luboonni immoo meeshaalee faarfannaa Waaqayyootiin guyyaa guyyaadhaan Waaqayyoon galateeffachaa turan.
And the children of Israel, that were found at Jerusalem, kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great joy, praising the Lord every day: the Levites also, and the priests, with instruments that agreed to their office.
22 Hisqiyaasis Lewwota waaʼee tajaajila Waaqayyoo irratti hubannaa gaarii qaban jajjabeessuudhaan itti dubbate. Isaanis bultii torbanuu waan isaaniif qoodame nyaachaa, aarsaa nagaas dhiʼeessaa Waaqayyo Waaqa abbootii isaaniitiif galata galchan.
And Ezechias spoke to the heart of all the Levites, that had good understanding concerning the Lord: and they ate during the seven days of the solemnity, immolating victims of peace offerings, and praising the Lord the God of their fathers.
23 Waldaan sun guutuun bultii torba itti dabalee ayyaana sana ayyaaneffachuuf walii gale; kanaafuu isaan bultii torba itti dabalanii gammachuudhaan ayyaaneffatan.
And it pleased the whole multitude to keep other seven days: which they did with great joy.
24 Hisqiyaas mootichi Yihuudaas korommii loonii kuma tokko, hoolotaa fi reʼoota kuma torba waldaa sanaaf ni kenne; qondaaltonni isaa immoo korommii loonii kuma tokko, hoolotaa fi reʼoota kuma kudhan ni kennan. Luboonni akka malee baayʼeenis of qulqulleessan.
For Ezechias the king of Juda had given to the multitude a thousand bullocks, and seven thousand sheep: and the princes had given the people a thousand bullocks, and ten thousand sheep: and a great number of priests was sanctified.
25 Waldaan Yihuudaa hundi, luboota, Lewwotaa fi namoota Israaʼel keessaa walitti qabaman hunda, akkasumas alagoota Israaʼel keessaa dhufanii fi kanneen Yihuudaa keessa jiraatan hunda wajjin ni gammadan.
And all the multitude of Juda with the priests and Levites, and all the assembly, that came out of Israel; and the proselytes of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Juda were full of joy.
26 Bara Solomoon ilma Daawit mooticha Israaʼel jalqabee waan wanni akkasii Yerusaalem keessatti takkumaa hin taʼiniif Yerusaalem keessatti gammachuu guddaatu taʼe.
And there was a great solemnity in Jerusalem, such as had not been in that city since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel.
27 Ergasiis luboonnii fi Lewwonni kaʼanii saba eebbisan; Waaqnis isaan dhagaʼe; kadhannaan isaanii gara samii, iddoo inni jiraatu qulqulluu sana gaʼeeraatii.
And the priests and the Levites rose up and blessed the people: and their voice was heard: and their prayer came to the holy dwelling place of heaven.
