وَأَرْسَلَ حَزَقِيَّا إِلَى جَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوذَا، وَكَتَبَ أَيْضًا رَسَائِلَ إِلَى أَفْرَايِمَ وَمَنَسَّى أَنْ يَأْتُوا إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ لِيَعْمَلُوا فِصْحًا لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ١ 1
Hezekiah sent messengers to all Israel and Judah, and also wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of Yahweh in Jerusalem, to celebrate the Passover to Yahweh, the God of Israel.
فَتَشَاوَرَ ٱلْمَلِكُ وَرُؤَسَاؤُهُ وَكُلُّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ أَنْ يَعْمَلُوا ٱلْفِصْحَ فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلثَّانِي، ٢ 2
For the king, his leaders, and all the assembly in Jerusalem had consulted together, deciding to celebrate the Passover in the second month.
لِأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَقْدِرُوا أَنْ يَعْمَلُوهُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْكَهَنَةَ لَمْ يَتَقَدَّسُوا بِٱلْكِفَايَةِ، وَٱلشَّعْبَ لَمْ يَجْتَمِعُوا إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ. ٣ 3
They could not celebrate at the regular time, because not enough priests had consecrated themselves for the celebration and the people had not gathered together in Jerusalem.
فَحَسُنَ ٱلْأَمْرُ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَعُيُونِ كُلِّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ. ٤ 4
This proposal seemed right in the eyes of the king and of all the assembly.
فَٱعْتَمَدُوا عَلَى إِطْلَاقِ ٱلنِّدَاءِ فِي جَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ إِلَى دَانَ أَنْ يَأْتُوا لِعَمَلِ ٱلْفِصْحِ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، لِأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَعْمَلُوهُ كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ مُنْذُ زَمَانٍ كَثِيرٍ. ٥ 5
So they agreed to make a proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beersheba to Dan, that the people should come to celebrate the Passover to Yahweh, the God of Israel, in Jerusalem. For they had not observed it with large numbers of people according to what was written.
فَذَهَبَ ٱلسُّعَاةُ بِٱلرَّسَائِلِ مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَرُؤَسَائِهِ فِي جَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوذَا، وَحَسَبَ وَصِيَّةِ ٱلْمَلِكِ كَانُوا يَقُولُونَ: «يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، ٱرْجِعُوا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَإِسْرَائِيلَ، فَيَرْجِعَ إِلَى ٱلنَّاجِينَ ٱلْبَاقِينَ لَكُمْ مِنْ يَدِ مُلُوكِ أَشُّورَ. ٦ 6
So couriers went with the letters from the king and his leaders throughout all Israel and Judah, by the command of the king. They said, “You people of Israel, turn back to Yahweh, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, so that he may turn back to the remnant of you who have escaped from the hand of the kings of Assyria.
وَلَا تَكُونُوا كَآبَائِكُمْ وَكَإِخْوَتِكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ خَانُوا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَ آبَائِهِمْ فَجَعَلَهُمْ دَهْشَةً كَمَا أَنْتُمْ تَرَوْنَ. ٧ 7
Do not be like your ancestors or your brothers, who trespassed against Yahweh, the God of their ancestors, so that he made them an object of horror, as you see.
ٱلْآنَ لَا تُصَلِّبُوا رِقَابَكُمْ كَآبَائِكُمْ، بَلِ ٱخْضَعُوا لِلرَّبِّ وَٱدْخُلُوا مَقْدِسَهُ ٱلَّذِي قَدَّسَهُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، وَٱعْبُدُوا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ فَيَرْتَدَّ عَنْكُمْ حُمُوُّ غَضَبِهِ. ٨ 8
Now do not be stubborn, as your ancestors were; instead, give yourselves to Yahweh and come into his holy place, which he has consecrated forever, and worship Yahweh your God, so that his fierce anger may turn away from you.
لِأَنَّهُ بِرُجُوعِكُمْ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ يَجِدُ إِخْوَتُكُمْ وَبَنُوكُمْ رَحْمَةً أَمَامَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَسْبُونَهُمْ، فَيَرْجِعُونَ إِلَى هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَكُمْ حَنَّانٌ وَرَحِيمٌ، وَلَا يُحَوِّلُ وَجْهَهُ عَنْكُمْ إِذَا رَجَعْتُمْ إِلَيْهِ». ٩ 9
For if you turn back to Yahweh, your brothers and children will find compassion before those who led them away as prisoners, and they will come back into this land. For Yahweh your God, is gracious and merciful, and will not turn his face away from you, if you return to him.”
فَكَانَ ٱلسُّعَاةُ يَعْبُرُونَ مِنْ مَدِينَةٍ إِلَى مَدِينَةٍ فِي أَرْضِ أَفْرَايِمَ وَمَنَسَّى حَتَّى زَبُولُونَ، فَكَانُوا يَضْحَكُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَيَهْزَأُونَ بِهِمْ. ١٠ 10
So the couriers passed from city to city throughout the regions of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the way to Zebulun, but the people laughed at them and mocked them.
إِلَّا إِنَّ قَوْمًا مِنْ أَشِيرَ وَمَنَسَّى وَزَبُولُونَ تَوَاضَعُوا وَأَتَوْا إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ. ١١ 11
However, certain men of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem.
وَكَانَتْ يَدُ ٱللهِ فِي يَهُوذَا أَيْضًا، فَأَعْطَاهُمْ قَلْبًا وَاحِدًا لِيَعْمَلُوا بِأَمْرِ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَٱلرُّؤَسَاءِ، حَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ. ١٢ 12
The hand of God also came on Judah, to give them one heart, to carry out the command of the king and leaders by the word of Yahweh.
فَٱجْتَمَعَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ شَعْبٌ كَثِيرٌ لِعَمَلِ عِيدِ ٱلْفَطِيرِ فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلثَّانِي، جَمَاعَةٌ كَثِيرَةٌ جِدًّا. ١٣ 13
Many people, a very great assembly, gathered in Jerusalem to celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread in the second month.
وَقَامُوا وَأَزَالُوا ٱلْمَذَابِحَ ٱلَّتِي فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَأَزَالُوا كُلَّ مَذَابِحِ ٱلتَّبْخِيرِ وَطَرَحُوهَا إِلَى وَادِي قَدْرُونَ. ١٤ 14
They rose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all the altars for incense; they threw them into the brook Kidron.
وَذَبَحُوا ٱلْفِصْحَ فِي ٱلرَّابِعِ عَشَرَ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلثَّانِي. وَٱلْكَهَنَةُ وَٱللَّاوِيُّونَ خَجِلُوا وَتَقَدَّسُوا وَأَدْخَلُوا ٱلْمُحْرَقَاتِ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، ١٥ 15
Then they killed the Passover lambs on the fourteenth day of the second month. The priests and Levites were ashamed, so they consecrated themselves and brought burnt offerings into the house of Yahweh.
وَأَقَامُوا عَلَى مَقَامِهِمْ حَسَبَ حُكْمِهِمْ كَنَامُوسِ مُوسَى رَجُلِ ٱللهِ. كَانَ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ يَرُشُّونَ ٱلدَّمَ مِنْ يَدِ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ. ١٦ 16
They stood in their place by their divisions, following the directions given in the law of Moses, the man of God. The priests sprinkled the blood that they received from the hand of the Levites.
لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ كَثِيرُونَ فِي ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ لَمْ يَتَقَدَّسُوا، فَكَانَ ٱللَّاوِيُّونَ عَلَى ذَبْحِ ٱلْفِصْحِ عَنْ كُلِّ مَنْ لَيْسَ بِطَاهِرٍ لِتَقْدِيسِهِمْ لِلرَّبِّ. ١٧ 17
For there were many in the assembly who had not consecrated themselves. Therefore the Levites slaughtered the Passover lambs for everyone who was not purified and could not consecrate their sacrifice to Yahweh.
لِأَنَّ كَثِيرِينَ مِنَ ٱلشَّعْبِ، كَثِيرِينَ مِنْ أَفْرَايِمَ وَمَنَسَّى وَيَسَّاكَرَ وَزَبُولُونَ لَمْ يَتَطَهَّرُوا، بَلْ أَكَلُوا ٱلْفِصْحَ لَيْسَ كَمَا هُوَ مَكْتُوبٌ. إِلَّا إِنَّ حَزَقِيَّا صَلَّى عَنْهُمْ قَائِلًا: «ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلصَّالِحُ يُكَفِّرُ عَنْ ١٨ 18
For a great many of the people, many of them from Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun, had not purified themselves, yet they ate the Passover meal, against the written instructions. For Hezekiah had prayed for them, saying, “May the good Yahweh pardon everyone
كُلِّ مَنْ هَيَّأَ قَلْبَهُ لِطَلَبِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ آبَائِهِ، وَلَيْسَ كَطَهَارَةِ ٱلْقُدْسِ». ١٩ 19
who sets his heart to seek God, Yahweh, the God of his ancestors, even though he is not purified by the purification standards of the holy place.”
فَسَمِعَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِحَزَقِيَّا وَشَفَى ٱلشَّعْبَ. ٢٠ 20
So Yahweh listened to Hezekiah and healed the people.
وَعَمِلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلْمَوْجُودُونَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ عِيدَ ٱلْفَطِيرِ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ بِفَرَحٍ عَظِيمٍ، وَكَانَ ٱللَّاوِيُّونَ وَٱلْكَهَنَةُ يُسَبِّحُونَ ٱلرَّبَّ يَوْمًا فَيَوْمًا بِآلَاتِ حَمْدٍ لِلرَّبِّ. ٢١ 21
The people of Israel who were present in Jerusalem kept the Festival of Unleavened Bread for seven days with great joy. The Levites and the priests praised Yahweh day after day, singing with loud instruments to Yahweh.
وَطَيَّبَ حَزَقِيَّا قُلُوبَ جَمِيعِ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ ٱلْفَطِنِينَ فِطْنَةً صَالِحَةً لِلرَّبِّ، وَأَكَلُوا ٱلْمَوْسِمَ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ يَذْبَحُونَ ذَبَائِحَ سَلَامَةٍ وَيَحْمَدُونَ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَ آبَائِهِمْ. ٢٢ 22
Hezekiah spoke encouragingly to all the Levites who understood the service of Yahweh. So they ate throughout the festival for the seven days, offering sacrifices of fellowship offerings, and making confession to Yahweh, the God of their ancestors.
وَتَشَاوَرَ كُلُّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ أَنْ يَعْمَلُوا سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ أُخْرَى، فَعَمِلُوا سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ بِفَرَحٍ. ٢٣ 23
The whole assembly then decided to celebrate for another seven days, and they did so with joy.
لِأَنَّ حَزَقِيَّا مَلِكَ يَهُوذَا قَدَّمَ لِلْجَمَاعَةِ أَلْفَ ثَوْرٍ وَسَبْعَةَ آلَافٍ مِنَ ٱلضَّأْنِ، وَٱلرُّؤَسَاءُ قَدَّمُوا لِلْجَمَاعَةِ أَلْفَ ثَوْرٍ وَعَشَرَةَ آلَافٍ مِنَ ٱلضَّأْنِ، وَتَقَدَّسَ كَثِيرُونَ مِنَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ. ٢٤ 24
For Hezekiah king of Judah gave the assembly one thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep as an offering; and the leaders gave to the assembly one thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep and goats. A large number of priests consecrated themselves.
وَفَرِحَ كُلُّ جَمَاعَةِ يَهُوذَا، وَٱلْكَهَنَةُ وَٱللَّاوِيُّونَ، وَكُلُّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ ٱلْآتِينَ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَٱلْغُرَبَاءُ ٱلْآتُونَ مِنْ أَرْضِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَٱلسَّاكِنُونَ فِي يَهُوذَا. ٢٥ 25
All the assembly of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the people who came together from Israel, as well as the foreigners who came from the land of Israel and those who lived in Judah—they all rejoiced.
وَكَانَ فَرَحٌ عَظِيمٌ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، لِأَنَّهُ مِنْ أَيَّامِ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ دَاوُدَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ لَمْ يَكُنْ كَهَذَا فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. ٢٦ 26
So there was great joy in Jerusalem, for since the time of Solomon son of David, king of Israel, there had not been anything like it in Jerusalem.
وَقَامَ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ ٱللَّاوِيُّونَ وَبَارَكُوا ٱلشَّعْبَ، فَسُمِعَ صَوْتُهُمْ وَدَخَلَتْ صَلَاتُهُمْ إِلَى مَسْكَنِ قُدْسِهِ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاءِ. ٢٧ 27
Then the priests, the Levites, rose and blessed the people. Their voice was heard, and their prayer went up to heaven, the holy place where God lives.
