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 Ezekias sent to all Israel and Juda, and wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasse, that they should come into the house of the Lord to Jerusalem, to keep the passover to the Lord God of Israel.

2 Mootichii fi qondaaltonni isaa akkasumas waldaan Yerusaalem keessa jiru hundi jiʼa lammaffaatti Faasiikaa ayyaaneffachuuf murteessan.

For the king, and the princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, designed to keep the passover in 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 at that time, because a sufficient number of priest had not purified themselves, and the people was not gathered to Jerusalem.

4 Karoorri sunis mootichaa fi waldaa sana guutuu ni gammachiise.

And the proposal pleased the king and the congregation.

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 established a decree that a proclamation should go through all Israel, from Bersabee to Dan, that they should come and keep the passover to the Lord God of Israel at Jerusalem: for the multitude had not done it lately according to the scripture.

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 the letters from the king and the princes to all Israel and Juda, according to the command of the king, saying, Children of Israel, return to the Lord God of Abraam, and Isaac, and Israel, and bring back them that have escaped [even] those that were left of the hand of the king of Assyria.

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.

And be not as your fathers, and your brethren, who revolted from the Lord God of their fathers, and he gave them up to desolation, 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.

And now harden not your hearts, as your fathers [did]: give glory to the Lord God, and enter into his sanctuary, which he has sanctified for ever: and serve the Lord your God, and he shall turn away [his] fierce anger 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 when you turn to the Lord, your brethren and your children shall be pitied before all that have carried them captives, and he will restore [you] to this land: for the Lord our God is merciful and pitiful, and will not turn away his face from you, if we 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 through from city to city in mount Ephraim, and Manasse, and as far as Zabulon: and they as it were laughed them to scorn, and mocked them.

11 Namoonni Aasheer, kan Minaasee fi kan Zebuuloon tokko tokko garuu gad of qabanii Yerusaalem dhaqan.

But the men of Aser, and [some] of Manasses and of Zabulon, were ashamed, and came to Jerusalem and Juda.

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.

And the hand of the Lord was [present] to give them one heart to come, to do according to the commands of the king and of the princes, by the word of the Lord.

13 Tuunni akka malee guddaan tokko jiʼa lammaffaatti Ayyaana Maxinoo ayyaanessuuf Yerusaalem keessatti walitti qabame.

And a great multitude were gathered to Jerusalem to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.

14 Isaanis iddoowwan aarsaa kanneen Yerusaalem keessa turan bubuqqisanii, iddoowwan aarsaa ixaanaas diiganii geessanii Sulula Qeedroonitti ni gatan.

And they arose, and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all on which they burnt incense to false [gods] they tore down and cast into the brook Kedron.

15 Guyyaa kudha afuraffaa jiʼa lammaffaattis hoolaa Faasiikaa qalan. Luboonnii fi Lewwonnis qaanaʼanii of qulqulleessuudhaan aarsaa gubamu gara mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo fidan.

Then they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the second month: and the priests and the Levites repented, and purified [themselves], and brought whole burnt offerings into 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 at their post, according to their ordinance, according to the commandment of Moses the man of God: and the priests received the blood from the hand 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.

For a great part of the congregation was not sanctified; and the Levites were [ready] to kill the passover for every one who could not sanctify himself 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 the greatest part of the people of Ephraim, and Manasse, and Issachar, and Zabulon, had not purified [themselves], but ate the passover contrary to the scripture. On this account also Ezekias prayed concerning them, saying,

19 nama garaa isaatiin siʼi Waaqayyo Waaqa abbootii isaa barbaaduuf kutate hunda yoo inni akka seera iddoo qulqulluutti qulqullaaʼaa taʼuu baate illee ati araaramiif.”

The good Lord be merciful with regard to every heart that sincerely seeks the Lord God of their fathers, and [is] not [purified] according to the purification of the sanctuary.

20 Waaqayyos kadhannaa Hisqiyaas dhagaʼee saba sana ni fayyise.

And the Lord listened to Ezekias, and healed 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 who were present in Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great joy; and they continued to sing hymns to the Lord daily, and the priests and the Levites [played] on instruments to the Lord.

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 Ezekias encouraged all the Levites, and those that had good understanding of the Lord: and they completely kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days, offering peace-offerings, and confessing to the Lord 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 the congregation purposed together to keep other seven days: and they kept seven days with gladness.

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 Ezekias set apart for Juda, [even] for the congregation, a thousand calves and seven thousand sheep; and the princes set apart for the people a thousand calves and ten thousand sheep: and the holy things of the priests abundantly.

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 congregation, the priests and the Levites, rejoiced, and all the congregation of Juda, and they that were present of Jerusalem, and the strangers that came from the land of Israel, and the dwellers in Juda.

26 Bara Solomoon ilma Daawit mooticha Israaʼel jalqabee waan wanni akkasii Yerusaalem keessatti takkumaa hin taʼiniif Yerusaalem keessatti gammachuu guddaatu taʼe.

And there was great joy in Jerusalem: from the days of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there was not such a feast in Jerusalem.

27 Ergasiis luboonnii fi Lewwonni kaʼanii saba eebbisan; Waaqnis isaan dhagaʼe; kadhannaan isaanii gara samii, iddoo inni jiraatu qulqulluu sana gaʼeeraatii.

Then the priests the Levites rose up and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer came into his holy dwelling-place, [even] into heaven.
