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 Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the LORD at 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 had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, 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 the priests had not sanctified themselves sufficiently, neither had the people gathered themselves together at Jerusalem.

4 Karoorri sunis mootichaa fi waldaa sana guutuu ni gammachiise.

And the thing pleased the king and all 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.

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 God of Israel at Jerusalem: for they had not done it of a long time in the manner as it was written.

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.

So the posts went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, Ye children of Israel, turn again to the LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you, that have escaped from the hand of the kings 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 ye like your fathers, and like your brethren, who trespassed against the LORD God of their fathers, who therefore gave them up to desolation, as ye 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.

Now be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves to the LORD, and enter into his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified for ever: and serve the LORD your God, that the fierceness of his wrath may turn 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 ye turn again to the LORD, your brethren and your children shall find compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they shall return into this land: for the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if ye 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 passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh even to Zebulun: but they laughed them to scorn, and mocked them.

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

Nevertheless some from Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and 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.

Also in Judah the hand of God was to give them one heart to do the commandment 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 there assembled at Jerusalem many people 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 the altars for incense they took away, and cast them into the brook Kidron.

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 were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought in the 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 in their place after their custom, according to the law of Moses the man of God: the priests sprinkled the blood, which they received 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 there were many in the congregation that were not sanctified: therefore the Levites had the charge of the killing of the passovers for every one that was not clean, to sanctify them 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 multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim, and Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet they ate the passover otherwise than it was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, The good LORD pardon every one

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

That prepareth his heart to seek God, the LORD God of his fathers, though he is not cleansed according to the purification of the sanctuary.

20 Waaqayyos kadhannaa Hisqiyaas dhagaʼee saba sana ni fayyise.

And the LORD hearkened to Hezekiah, 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 that were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness: and the Levites and the priests praised the LORD day by day, singing with loud 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 Hezekiah encouraged all the Levites that taught the good knowledge of the LORD: and they ate throughout the feast seven days, offering peace offerings, and making confession 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 whole assembly took counsel to keep other seven days: and they kept other 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 Hezekiah king of Judah gave to the congregation a thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the congregation a thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep: and a great number of priests sanctified themselves.

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 of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the congregation that came out of Israel, and the strangers that came from the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Judah, rejoiced.

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

So there was great joy in Jerusalem: for since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there was not the like 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 arose and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer ascended to his holy dwelling place, even to heaven.
