< Вторая книга Паралипоменон 30 >

1 Посла же Езекиа ко всему Израилю и Иуде, и написа послания ко Ефрему и Манассии, да приидут к дому Господню во Иерусалим сотворити пасху Господу Богу Израилеву.
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, the God of Israel.
2 И усоветова царь и князи и все множество во Иерусалиме сотворити пасху во вторый месяц:
For the king had taken counsel, and his officials, and all the assembly in Jerusalem, to keep the Passover in the second month.
3 не возмогоша бо сотворити во время свое, яко священницы не очистишася доволни, и людие не у собрашася во Иерусалим.
For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves in sufficient number, neither had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem.
4 И угодно бысть слово цареви и всему множеству.
The thing was right in the eyes of the king and of all the assembly.
5 И поставиша слово, да пройдет проповедь во весь Израиль от Вирсавеи даже до Дана, да приидут сотворити пасху Господу Богу Израилеву во Иерусалиме, мнози бо не сотвориша по писанию.
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 such sort as it is written.
6 И поидоша гонцы с посланьми от царя и от началников во весь Израиль и Иудею по повелению цареву, глаголюще: сынове Израилевы, обратитеся ко Господу Богу Авраамлю и Исаакову и Иаковлю, и обратите спасшихся, иже избыша от руки царя Ассурска,
So the couriers went with the letters from the king and his officers throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, "children of Israel, turn again to the LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, that he may return to the remnant of you who have escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.
7 и не будите якоже отцы ваши и братия ваша, иже отступиша от Господа Бога отец своих, и предаде их в погубление, якоже вы видите:
Do not 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 и ныне не ожесточите сердец ваших, якоже отцы ваши: дадите славу Господу Богу и внидите во святилище Его, еже освяти во век, и служите Господу Богу вашему, и отвратит от вас гнев ярости Своея:
Now do not 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 понеже егда обратитеся вы ко Господу, братия ваша и чада ваша будут в щедротах пред всеми пленившими их, и возвратит в землю сию, зане милостив и щедр Господь Бог наш, и не отвратит лица Своего от нас, аще обратимся к Нему.
For if you turn again to the LORD, your brothers and your children shall find compassion before those who led them captive, and shall come again into this land: for the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if you return to him."
10 И бяху гонцы проходяще от града во град, на горе Ефремли и Манассиине, даже и до Завулона: и быша яко посмеяваеми и поругаеми.
So the couriers passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh, even to Zebulun: but they ridiculed them, and mocked them.
11 Но мужие от Асира и от Манассии и от Завулона устыдишася и приидоша в Иерусалим и во Иудею.
Nevertheless some from Asher and from Manasseh and from Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem.
12 И бысть рука Господня дати им сердце едино приити, еже сотворити по повелению цареву и князей слово Господне.
Also in Judah came the hand of God to give them one heart, to do the commandment of the king and of the leaders by the word of the LORD.
13 И собрашася во Иерусалим людие мнози, да сотворят праздник опресноков в месяц вторый, сонм мног зело.
Many people assembled at Jerusalem to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great assembly.
14 И восташа, и разориша олтари, иже во Иерусалиме, и вся, в нихже кадяху идолом, испровергоша и ввергоша их в поток Кедрский,
They arose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all the altars for incense took they away, and cast them into the Kidron Valley.
15 и пожроша пасху в четвертыйнадесять день месяца втораго: священницы же и левити умилишася и освятишася, и принесоша всесожжения в дом Господень:
Then they killed the Passover lamb on the fourteenth day of the second month: and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought burnt offerings into the house of the LORD.
16 и сташа в чине своем по обычаю своему, по заповеди Моисеа человека Божия, и священницы приемляху кровь от руку левитску.
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 Понеже мног народ освящен не бысть, левити же бяху жруще пасху всякому, иже не можаше освятитися Господу:
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 понеже болшая часть людий от Ефрема и Манассии, и Иссахара и Завулона освященна не бысть, но ядоша пасху не по писанию.
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 is written. For Hezekiah had prayed for them, saying, "May the good LORD pardon everyone
19 И помолися Езекиа о них глаголя Господь Бог благ да умилостивится о всяцем сердцы направившемся еже взыскати Господа Бога отец своих, а не по очищению святынь.
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 И услыша Господь Езекию и изцели люди.
The LORD listened to Hezekiah, and healed the people.
21 И сотвориша сынове Израилевы обретшиися во Иерусалиме праздник опресноков седмь дний в веселии велице хваляще Господа на всяк день, левити же и священницы во органы Господу.
The children of Israel who 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 И глагола Езекиа ко всякому сердцу левитов, иже имех разум благ ко Господу: и скончаша праздник опресноков седмь дний жруще жертву спасения и исповедающеся Господу Богу отец своих.
Hezekiah spoke comfortably to all the Levites who had good understanding in the service of the LORD. So they completed the seven days of the feast, offering sacrifices of peace offerings, and making confession to the LORD, the God of their fathers.
23 И усоветова весь собор купно сотворити ины седмь дний (праздника): и сотвориша седмь дний иных в веселии.
The whole assembly took counsel to keep other seven days; and they kept another seven days with gladness.
24 Понеже Езекиа царь Иудин даде начатки всему народу тысящу телцев и седмь тысящ овец: началницы же даша людем телцев тысящу и овец десять тысящ, и освятишася священников множество.
For Hezekiah king of Judah gave to the assembly for offerings one thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep, and the leaders gave to the assembly a thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep. And a great number of priests sanctified themselves.
25 И возрадовася вся церковь, священницы и левити, и все множество Иудино и обретшиися из Иерусалима, и пришелцы пришедшии от земли Израилевы и обитающии во Иудеи.
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 И бысть веселие велие во Иерусалиме: яко от дний Соломона, сына Давидова царя Израилева, не бысть таковый праздник во Иерусалиме.
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 И восташа священницы и левити и благословиша людий, и услышан бысть глас их, и прииде моление их в жилище святое Его на небо.
Then the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy habitation, even to heaven.
