2 Chronicles 30

1 Hesekiah sì ránṣẹ́ sí gbogbo Israẹli àti Juda, ó sì kọ ìwé sí Efraimu àti Manase, kí wọn kí ó wá sínú ilé Olúwa ní Jerusalẹmu láti pa àjọ ìrékọjá mọ́ sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli.

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 Nítorí tí ọba ti gbìmọ̀ àti àwọn ìjòyè rẹ̀, àti gbogbo ìjọ ènìyàn ní Jerusalẹmu, láti pa àjọ ìrékọjá mọ́ ní oṣù kejì.

For the king, and the princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, designed to keep the passover in the second month.

3 Nítorí wọn kò lè pa á mọ́ ní àkókò náà, nítorí àwọn àlùfáà kò tí i ya ara wọn sí mímọ́ tó; bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn ènìyàn kò tí ì kó ara wọn jọ sí Jerusalẹmu.

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 Ọ̀rọ̀ náà sí tọ́ lójú ọba àti lójú gbogbo ìjọ ènìyàn.

And the proposal pleased the king and the congregation.

5 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n fi àṣẹ kan lélẹ̀, láti kéde ká gbogbo Israẹli láti Beerṣeba àní títí dé Dani, láti wá pa àjọ ìrékọjá mọ́ sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli ní Jerusalẹmu: nítorí wọn kò pa á mọ́ ní ọjọ́ púpọ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí a ti kọ ọ́.

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 Bẹ́ẹ̀ àwọn oníṣẹ́ tí ń sáré lọ pẹ̀lú ìwé láti ọwọ́ ọba àti àwọn ìjòyè rẹ̀ sí gbogbo Israẹli àti Juda; àti gẹ́gẹ́ bí àṣẹ ọba, wí pé, “Ẹ̀yin ọmọ Israẹli ẹ yí padà sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run Abrahamu, Isaaki, àti Israẹli, òun ó sì yípadà sí àwọn ìyókù nínú yín, tí ó sálà kúrò lọ́wọ́ àwọn ọba Asiria.

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 Kí ẹ̀yin kí ó má sì ṣe dàbí àwọn baba yín, àti bí àwọn arákùnrin yín tí ó dẹ́ṣẹ̀ sí Olúwa, Ọlọ́run àwọn baba wọn, nítorí náà ní ó ṣe fi wọ́n fún ìdahoro bí ẹ̀yin ti rí.

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 ye see.

8 Ǹjẹ́ kí ẹ̀yin kí ó má ṣe ṣe ọlọ́rùn líle, bí àwọn baba yín, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ jọ̀wọ́ ara yín lọ́wọ́ fún Olúwa, kí ẹ sì wọ inú ibi mímọ́ rẹ̀ lọ, ti òun ti ìyàsímímọ́ títí láé. Kí ẹ sì sin Olúwa, Ọlọ́run yín kí gbígbóná ìbínú rẹ̀ kí ó lè yípadà kúrò ní ọ̀dọ̀ yín.

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 Nítorí bí ẹ̀yin bá tún yípadà sí Olúwa, àwọn arákùnrin yín, àti àwọn ọmọ yín, yóò rí àánú níwájú àwọn tí ó kó wọn ní ìgbèkùn lọ, kí wọn kí ó lè tún padà wá sí ilẹ̀ yí: nítorí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, oníyọnu àti aláàánú ni, kì yóò sì yí ojú rẹ̀ padà kúrò lọ́dọ̀ yín, bí ẹ̀yin bá padà sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀.”

For when ye 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 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn oníṣẹ́ náà kọjá láti ìlú dé ìlú, ní ilẹ̀ Efraimu àti Manase títí dé Sebuluni, ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n fi wọ́n rẹ́rìn-ín ẹlẹ́yà, wọ́n sì gàn wọ́n.

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 Síbẹ̀ òmíràn nínú àwọn ènìyàn Aṣeri àti Manase àti Sebuluni rẹ̀ ara wọn sílẹ̀, wọ́n sì wá sí Jerusalẹmu.

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

12 Ní Juda pẹ̀lú, ọwọ́ Ọlọ́run wá láti fún wọn ní ọkàn kan láti pa òfin ọba mọ́ àti tí àwọn ìjòyè, nípa ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa.

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 Ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ènìyàn sì péjọ ní Jerusalẹmu, láti pa àjọ àkàrà àìwú mọ́ ní oṣù kejì.

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

14 Wọ́n sì dìde, wọ́n sì kó gbogbo pẹpẹ tí ó wà ní Jerusalẹmu lọ, àti gbogbo pẹpẹ tùràrí ni wọ́n kó lọ, wọ́n sì dà wọ́n sí odò Kidironi.

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 Nígbà náà ni wọ́n pa ẹran ìrékọjá náà ní ọjọ́ kẹrìnlá oṣù kejì: ojú sì ti àwọn àlùfáà àti àwọn ọmọ Lefi, wọ́n sì yà ara wọn sí mímọ́, wọ́n sì mú ẹbọ sísun wá sínú ilé Olúwa.

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 Wọ́n sì dúró ní ipò wọn, bí ètò wọn gẹ́gẹ́ bí òfin Mose, ènìyàn Ọlọ́run: àwọn àlùfáà wọ́n ẹ̀jẹ̀ náà, tí wọ́n gbà lọ́wọ́ àwọn ọmọ Lefi.

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 Nítorí pé ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ni ó wà nínú ìjọ ènìyàn náà tí kò yà ara wọn sí mímọ́: nítorí náà ni àwọn ọmọ Lefi ṣe ń tọ́jú àti pa ẹran ìrékọjá fún olúkúlùkù ẹni tí ó ṣe aláìmọ́, láti yà á sí mímọ́ sí Olúwa.

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 Ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ènìyàn, àní ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ nínú Efraimu àti Manase, Isakari, àti Sebuluni kò sá wẹ̀ ara wọn mọ́ síbẹ̀ wọ́n jẹ ìrékọjá náà, kì í ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí a ti kọ ọ́. Ṣùgbọ́n Hesekiah bẹ̀bẹ̀ fún wọn, wí pé, Olúwa, ẹni rere, dáríjì olúkúlùkù,

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 tí ó múra ọkàn rẹ̀ láti wá Ọlọ́run, Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn baba rẹ̀ ṣùgbọ́n tí kì í ṣe nípa ìwẹ̀nùmọ́ mímọ́

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 Olúwa sì gbọ́ ti Hesekiah, ó sì mú àwọn ènìyàn náà láradá.

And the Lord hearkened to Ezekias, and healed the people.

21 Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli tí a rí ní Jerusalẹmu fi ayọ̀ ńlá pa àjọ àkàrà àìwú mọ́ ní ọjọ́ méje: àwọn ọmọ Lefi, àti àwọn àlùfáà yin Olúwa lójoojúmọ́, wọ́n ń fi ohun èlò olóhùn gooro kọrin sí Olúwa.

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 Hesekiah sọ̀rọ̀ ìtùnú fún gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Lefi, tí ó lóye ní ìmọ̀ rere Olúwa: ọjọ́ méje ni wọ́n fi jẹ àsè náà wọ́n rú ẹbọ àlàáfíà, wọ́n sì ń fi ohùn rara dúpẹ́ fún Olúwa, Ọlọ́run àwọn baba wọn.

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 Gbogbo ìjọ náà sì gbìmọ̀ láti pa ọjọ́ méje mìíràn mọ́: wọ́n sì fi ayọ̀ pa ọjọ́ méje mìíràn mọ́.

And the congregation purposed together to keep other seven days: and they kept seven days with gladness.

24 Nítorí Hesekiah, ọba Juda, ta ìjọ ènìyàn náà ní ọrẹ, ẹgbẹ̀rún akọ màlúù, àti ẹ̀ẹ́dẹ́gbàárin àgùntàn. Ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ nínú àwọn àlùfáà sì ya ara wọn sí mímọ́.

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 Gbogbo ìjọ ènìyàn Juda pẹ̀lú àwọn àlùfáà àti àwọn ọmọ Lefi, àti gbogbo ìjọ ènìyàn tí ó ti inú Israẹli jáde wá, àti àwọn àjèjì tí ó ti ilẹ̀ Israẹli jáde wá, àti àwọn tí ń gbé Juda yọ̀.

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 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ayọ̀ ńlá sì wà ní Jerusalẹmu: nítorí láti ọjọ́ Solomoni, ọmọ Dafidi, ọba Israẹli, irú èyí kò sí ní Jerusalẹmu.

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 Nígbà náà ni àwọn àlùfáà, àwọn ọmọ Lefi dìde, wọ́n sì súre fún àwọn ènìyàn náà: a sì gbọ́ ohùn wọn, àdúrà wọn sì gòkè lọ si ibùgbé mímọ́ rẹ̀, àní sí ọ̀run.

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.
