2 Chronicles 30

1 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 unto the LORD God of Israel.

Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Hesekaia ki ʻIsileli kotoa pē mo Siuta, pea tohi ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi tohi foki ki ʻIfalemi mo Manase, koeʻuhi ke nau haʻu ki he fale ʻo Sihova ʻi Selūsalema, ke fai ʻa e [kātoanga ]ʻoe Lakaatu kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.

2 For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, to keep the passover in the second month.

He naʻe fakakaukau ʻe he tuʻi mo hono ngaahi houʻeiki, mo e fakataha kotoa ʻi Selūsalema, ke fai ʻa e [kātoanga ]ʻoe Lakaatu ʻi hono ua ʻoe māhina.

3 For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves sufficiently, neither had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem.

He naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa fai ia ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia koeʻuhi naʻe teʻeki ai fakaʻosi ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki ʻae fakamaʻa ʻakinautolu ke lahi ki ai, pea naʻe teʻeki ai fakakātoa ʻakinautolu ʻe he kakai ki Selūsalema.

4 And the thing pleased the king and all the congregation.

Pea naʻe fiemālie ai ʻae tuʻi pea mo e kakai fakataha kotoa pē.

5 So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beer-sheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the passover unto the LORD God of Israel at Jerusalem: for they had not done [it] of a long [time in such sort] as it was written.

Pea naʻa nau tuʻutuʻuni ʻae fono ke fanongonongo kalanga ʻi ʻIsileli kotoa pē, mei Peasipa ki Tani, koeʻuhi ke nau haʻu ke fai ʻa e [kātoanga ]ʻoe Lakaatu kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi Selūsalema: he naʻe ʻikai te nau fai ia ʻo fuoloa ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe tohi.

6 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 unto the LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you, that are escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.

Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae kau ʻave tohi mo e ngaahi tohi mei he tuʻi mo hono houʻeiki ki he potu kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli mo Siuta, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻae tuʻi ʻo pehē, “ʻAe ngaahi fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, mou toe tafoki kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻEpalahame, mo ʻAisake, mo ʻIsileli pea ʻe tafoki mai ia kiate kimoutolu ʻoku toe, ʻakimoutolu kuo hao mei he nima ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia.

7 And be not ye like your fathers, and like your brethren, which trespassed against the LORD God of their fathers, [who] therefore gave them up to desolation, as ye see.

Pea ʻoua naʻa mou hangē ko hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, pea hangē ko homou ngaahi kāinga, ʻaia naʻe fai angahala kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, pea naʻa ne tukuange ʻakinautolu ki he malaʻia, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku mou mamata ki ai.

8 Now be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers [were, but] yield yourselves unto 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.

Pea ko eni ke ʻoua naʻa mou kia kekeva, ʻo hangē ko hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, kae tukuange ʻakimoutolu kia Sihova, pea hū ki hono fale nofoʻanga, ʻaia naʻe fakatapui ke taʻengata: pea tauhi ʻa Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ke tafoki hono houhau lahi meiate kimoutolu.

9 For if ye turn again unto the LORD, your brethren and your children [shall find] compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they 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 ye return unto him.

He kapau te mou toe tafoki kia Sihova, ʻe ʻilo ʻe homou ngaahi kāinga mo hoʻomou fānau ʻae angaʻofa ʻi he ʻao ʻokinautolu naʻe taki ʻo fakapōpulaʻi ʻakinautolu, ko ia te nau toe haʻu ai ki he fonua ni: he ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua ʻoku angalelei ia mo angaʻofa, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne kalofaki hono fofonga meiate kimoutolu, ʻo kapau te mou tafoki kiate ia.”

10 So the posts passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh even unto Zebulun: but they laughed them to scorn, and mocked them.

Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻae kau ʻave tohi mei he kolo ki he kolo ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIfalemi mo Manase, ʻio, ʻo aʻu atu ki Sepuloni: ka naʻa nau kata manuki kiate kinautolu, pea taukae ʻakinautolu.

11 Nevertheless divers of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem.

Ka naʻe ai ʻae niʻihi ʻi ʻAseli mo Manase, mo Sepuloni, naʻa nau fakavaivai ʻakinautolu, pea haʻu ki Selūsalema.

12 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.

Pea naʻe ʻi Siuta foki ʻae nima ʻoe ʻOtua ke foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae loto taha ke fai ʻae fekau ʻae tuʻi mo e houʻeiki, ʻi he folofola ʻa Sihova.

13 And there assembled at Jerusalem much people to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.

Pea naʻe fakakātoa ʻi Selūsalema ʻae fuʻu kakai lahi ke fai ʻae kātoanga ʻoe mā taʻefakalēvani ʻi hono ua ʻoe māhina, ko e fakataha lahi ʻaupito.

14 And 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 brook Kidron.

Pea naʻa nau tuʻu hake ʻo fetuku ʻo liʻaki ʻae ngaahi feilaulauʻanga naʻe ʻi Selūsalema, pea nau ʻave ke mamaʻo ʻae ngaahi feilaulauʻanga ʻoe meʻa namu kakala, ʻo liʻaki ia ki he vaitafe ko Kitiloni.

15 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.

Pea naʻa nau toki tāmateʻi ʻa e [manu ʻoe ]Lakaatu ʻi hono hongofulu ma fā ʻoe ʻaho ʻi hono ua ʻoe māhina: pea naʻe maʻae kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livai, ʻonau fakamaʻa ʻakinautolu, ʻonau ʻomi ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu ki he fale ʻo Sihova.

16 And they stood in their place after their manner, according to the law of Moses the man of God: the priests sprinkled the blood, [which they received] of the hand of the Levites.

Pea naʻa nau tuʻu ʻi honau potu ʻo taau mo honau anga, ʻo fakatatau ki he fekau ʻa Mōsese ko e tangata ʻae ʻOtua: naʻe luluku ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki ʻae toto, ʻaia naʻa nau maʻu mei he nima ʻoe kau Livai.

17 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] unto the LORD.

He naʻe ʻi ai ʻae tokolahi ʻi he fakataha naʻe ʻikai fakamaʻa: ko ia naʻe ʻi he kau Livai ʻae fekau ki he tāmateʻi ʻoe ngaahi [manu ʻoe ]Lakaatu, maʻanautolu kotoa pē naʻe ʻikai maʻa, ke fakatapui ʻakinautolu kia Sihova.

18 For a multitude of the people, [even] many of Ephraim, and Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet did they eat the passover otherwise than it was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, The good LORD pardon every one

He ko e kakai tokolahi, ʻio, ʻae tokolahi ʻo ʻIfalemi, mo Manase, mo ʻIsaka, mo Sepuloni, naʻe teʻeki ai te nau fakamaʻa ʻakinautolu, ka naʻa nau kai ʻae Lakaatu kae ʻikai hangē ko ia kuo tohi. Ka naʻe lotua ʻakinautolu ʻe Hesekaia, ʻo pehē, “ʻE Sihova lelei fakamolemolea ʻakinautolu kotoa pē,

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

‌ʻOku teuteu honau loto ke kumi ki he ʻOtua, ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻene ngaahi tamai, ka ʻoku teʻeki ai fakamaʻa ia ʻo fakatatau ki he fakamaʻa ʻoe fale nofoʻanga.”

20 And the LORD hearkened to Hezekiah, and healed the people.

Pea naʻe tokanga ʻe Sihova kia Hesekaia, ʻo ne fakamoʻui ʻae kakai.

21 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 unto the LORD.

Pea naʻe fai ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli naʻe ʻi Selūsalema ʻae kātoanga ʻoe mā taʻefakalēvani ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu ʻi he fiefia lahi: pea naʻe fakaongo lelei ʻa Sihova ʻe he kau Livai mo e kau taulaʻeiki ʻi he ʻaho hokohoko pe, ʻi he hiva mo e meʻa faiva leʻo lahi kia Sihova.

22 And Hezekiah spake comfortably unto all the Levites that taught the good knowledge of the LORD: and they did eat throughout the feast seven days, offering peace offerings, and making confession to the LORD God of their fathers.

Pea naʻe lea fakafiemālie ʻe Hesekaia ki he kau Livai kotoa pē naʻe akonaki ʻi he ʻilo lelei ʻo Sihova: pea naʻa nau kai kotoa pē lolotonga ʻae kātoanga ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu, ʻo ʻatu ʻae ngaahi feilaulau fakalelei, ʻo fai ʻenau vete kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai.

23 And the whole assembly took counsel to keep other seven days: and they kept [other] seven days with gladness.

Pea naʻe alea fakataha ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ke toe tauhi mo e ʻaho ʻe fitu: pea naʻa nau tauhi ʻae ʻaho kehe ʻe fitu ʻi he fiefia.

24 For Hezekiah king of Judah did give to the congregation a thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the congregation a thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep: and a great number of priests sanctified themselves.

He naʻe foaki ʻe Hesekaia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta ki he kakai fakataha ʻae fanga pulu ʻe taha afe, mo e sipi ʻe fitu afe: pea foaki ʻe he houʻeiki ki he kakai fakataha ʻae fanga pulu ʻe taha afe mo e sipi ʻe taha mano: pea naʻe fakamaʻa ʻakinautolu ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki tokolahi.

25 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 out of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Judah, rejoiced.

Pea naʻe fiefia ʻae fakataha kotoa pē ʻo Siuta, fakataha mo e kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livai, pea mo e kakai fakataha kotoa pē naʻe haʻu mei he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻonau nofo ʻi Siuta.

26 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.

Ko ia naʻe ʻi Selūsalema ʻae fiefia lahi: he talu mei he kuonga ʻo Solomone ko e foha ʻo Tevita ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli naʻe ʻikai ha meʻa pehē ʻi Selūsalema.

27 Then the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer came [up] to his holy dwelling place, [even] unto heaven.

Pea naʻe toki tuʻu hake ʻae kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livai ʻonau tāpuakiʻi ʻae kakai: pea naʻe ongoʻi honau leʻo, pea naʻe aʻu atu ʻenau lotu ki hono ʻafioʻanga māʻoniʻoni, ʻi he langi.
